Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 673 Lost in the first battle
Obviously, the Timur Empire army that was attacking the city also discovered the Ming Dynasty cavalry rushing from the east. A clear proof is that the stone cannons attacking the city are getting sparser and sparse, and the raging fires in the city are gradually extinguished.Moreover, various banners and banners written in unknown languages ​​were gradually mobilized towards the east where the Ming army was located.

The purpose of these Timurid Empire troops to encircle the point for reinforcements is obvious.

Mahamu originally wanted to take advantage of the opponent's panic to strike first and lead his troops to attack, but now it seems that the opponent is already on guard and rushing forward rashly may be playing into his own hands, so he chose to stay put. .However, Abdul Chin, the leader of the other team, did not have Mahamu's vision. He was from a humble background, but he did not understand these military strategies. He could not see that the opponent was on guard, but reined in the horse. The warriors on horseback stood up, their swords pointed directly at the enemy's banner.

"Warriors of Changshengtian, for the glory of His Highness King Yan!"

The Mongolian surrendering troops shouted and without any plan, they rammed diagonally towards the Timurid Empire's army.

Although they claimed to be members of the Golden Family, the Timurid Empire at this time was actually more Islamic than Mongolian.Moreover, because the country had many contacts with Turkic forces, its fighting methods also had the shadow of the Turks.There were cavalry in their military formation, but more were Islamic infantry armed with scimitars and large shields.Among the cavalry, there are more shock cavalry armed with sharp weapons, and there are even camel riders riding camels.

The Mongolian surrender troops led by Abdul Qin still wanted to use the "Mangujie" tactics that the Mongols were most familiar with. A group of horse archers galloped through the front of the Timur Empire's army formation. The sergeants led Arrows bent their bows, and arrows all over the sky shot at these soldiers of the Timur Empire like locusts, making the sky black.

On the side of the Timurid Empire, the leading general shouted something in an incomprehensible language, and then a low horn sounded, and with flags flying, the well-trained Islamic heavy infantry raised their bucklers in unison, clanking, clanging, clanging. The sound of arrows hitting shields was endless, but very few soldiers fell.

When Abdul Qin saw that the arrows were of no use, he was furious.In the past, when he was serving in the Oara army, he often listened to Yesudier, Ugqihashiha and others bragging about the glory and power of the Mongols. Now, even though he has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he only feels that the Ming Dynasty is the only one in the world. The army can defeat the Mongols, so why should we pay attention to these strange troops in strange clothes?He was so eager to achieve success that he simply threw away his bow and arrow, picked up the sword hanging on the saddle, and shouted: "Charge over and crush them!"

The Mongolian cavalry were usually archers, but at critical moments, they were able to break through the formation. When they heard the general's call, the surrendering troops did not hesitate. They simply stopped firing arrows and concentrated on holding the scimitars in their hands.

Amidst the shouts of killing that shook the sky and the earth, the Mongolian surrender army led by Abdul Qin fought with the Chinese army of the Timur Empire.The Mongolian surrender was like a heavy hammer, slamming into the formation of the Islamic infantry.The array of Islamic infantrymen was killed and retreated step by step, but at the same time, Abdul Qin's advancing momentum was also blocked, and the front's advance became slower and slower, almost falling into a melee.

When cavalry rushes into formation, what they fear most is that they cannot rush through it in one go.If they are caught in a melee, lose the most advantageous mobility of the light cavalry and are surrounded, they will be no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Naturally, the generals of the Timurid Empire would not miss this opportunity. The Turkic cavalry on both wings began to take action. These cavalry were serious shock cavalry, although they were not like European heavy cavalry wearing iron cans. Heavily armored, but even the men and horses were covered in tough cowhide armor.Seeing that Abdul Qin's troops were being held back by the Chinese infantry, the cavalry on both wings stretched out like the claws of a crab, trying to block the Mongolian surrender from the flanks and rear without leaving any trace of armor behind.

"Aduk Chin, withdraw the troops!"

Fortunately, Mahamu saw the opportunity quickly.Seeing that Abdul Qin did not stop, Mahamu immediately reacted.At that time, he was sweating profusely, and then immediately ordered his soldiers to follow him forward.Mahamu's army mostly has direct descendants of his Choros clan, so both the organization and training are much more elite than those of Aduzin, who came from the grassroots. He went against the usual practice of the Mongols and let the cavalry They huddled tightly together and galloped toward the Turkic cavalry who wanted to encircle Abdul Qin's troops.

They are both shock cavalry, and sometimes they compete on the basis of their momentum.Mahamu didn't fire his arrows, and asked the cavalry to charge in groups. The black smoke that was rolled up was overwhelming.The generals of the Timur Empire were suddenly in a dilemma. They should continue to eat the one that was dragged down by the infantry, which would be equivalent to exposing their buttocks to these Mongolian cavalry. Regardless of the one that was being dragged, directly order the cavalry and These Mongolian cavalry are hedging, and the situation has become a head-to-head confrontation. The arrangement of encircling the point for reinforcements is in vain and is not necessary.The previous reckless attack on the left and right had already left a lot of corpses behind. The first battle was already considered victorious, and one's side had the upper hand in terms of military strength. So Xu Xu figured out, why take this risk again?Therefore, the generals of the Timurid Empire ordered their flags to be raised, and the Turkic cavalry on both wings reined in their horses to stop the encirclement. At the center of the army, Abdul Qin, who was almost caught in a melee, also slowly began to retreat with Mahamu's support.

Not long after, Zhu Di and Fei Ju led the Chinese army's [-] Ming army to the battlefield. The bright sun and moon hung the sky flag, and the Timur Empire's black sky and three red sun flags began to confront each other on the battlefield.

"Why didn't you wait for His Highness's army to arrive? You have ruined our morale and morale!" Fei Ju was furious that the two former army members had surrendered and were defeated. He took the riding whip in his hand and wanted to whip Mahamu and Mahamu who were kneeling on the ground. Abdul Qin and his two brothers vented their anger. After being persuaded by Zhu Di, they were still angry.

"Your Highness, Abdul Qin has lost His Majesty's prestige and should have died. But Abdul Qin is unwilling to accept it!"

"Please also ask Your Highness to spare Abdul Qin's life and allow General Abdul Qin to... atone for his sins!"

After Adu Qin surrendered to Zhu Di, he practiced Chinese for days, and now he even knew the idioms about atonement.Zhu Di stared at him for a long time, then said to Zhang Yu: "Pull Abdulqin down and beat him with thirty military sticks first."

"If you are reckless again from now on, I will kill you directly."

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!" Aduqin was overjoyed when he heard this, and was escorted away by Zhang Yu's people happily.

Zhu Di patted Mahamu on the shoulder again: "You are very good. You have indeed lived up to my trust."

"I thought that you would choose to face death and use the Timur Empire to pull out the thorn in Adukhin's side...but you didn't. I will remember your loyalty this time."

"Thank...your highness!" Mahamu thanked him in a sharp voice, but he was already sweating all over his clothes.The King of Yan asked Abdul Qin to lead the army and spearhead him with the intention of supervising him. At that time, he actually had the idea of ​​using Timur's empire to borrow a knife to kill people.

However, seeing the completely different battle formations between Timur's empire and the Mongols, he somehow chose to send troops to rescue Abdul Qin.Now he is extremely happy for this decision at that time. The King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty was actually using the Timur Empire to test his loyalty.

There is no basis for Mahamu to believe that once he defected to Timur's empire or made any move to betray the Ming Dynasty, His Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty could capture him again and crush him to ashes.
