Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 1289 Car Formation

Before Hong Boyan Timur could react, Ping An had already cut a bloody path and rushed in front of him!

"Your Majesty, let's go!" The soldiers yanked the reins of Hong Boyan's horse. Only then did he come to his senses, turn his horse and run away.

The soldiers around him rode forward and tried to resist for a while, but Ping An shot them one by one and stabbed them all off their horses... But at least Hong Boyan escaped from Ping An's clutches.

Hong Boyan escaped for a while, and when he looked back, he saw the Ming army general with a white horse and a silver spear rushing over again. He was so frightened that he was scared to death. He whipped the horse's belly with a whip, and fled crazily on the hillside, never daring to stop again.

Ping An was chasing after him, but he was always blocked by the desperate Yuan army. Although the Yuan army was not his enemy, it also affected his speed. As a result, after chasing after each other, we are always just a little bit behind.

Although he didn't catch Hong Boyan, his rampage, which was like entering an uninhabited land, had already thrown the Yuan army's formation into chaos.

The Ming army cavalry followed closely behind him, charging and killing repeatedly, and actually defeated several times the Yuan army, causing heavy losses! If Taikang and his cavalry hadn't been trapped in a critical siege by the Yuan army on the southern slope battlefield, Ping An would have been able to bring 2,000 cavalry and completely defeat the 10,000 Yuan army cavalry.

When Ping An led his troops to the south slope for support, Hong Boyan had already been driven out of the north slope and hid in the mountains and forests.

Seeing the killing god with a white horse and a silver spear walking away, he finally calmed down from the shock. He came out of the forest, his voice still trembling and said: "Who is this? How can he be so ferocious as a god descending to earth?" ?”

"He should be the one named Ping..." the soldier whispered.

"Fuck..." Hong Boyan thought about his "mediocre" guess and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

He shook his head, throwing away his fear and shame, and said in a deep voice: "While he is going to the north slope, quickly regroup and attack the Ming army's convoy!"

~~

According to the pre-plan of the two kings, Gaobasi Timur's task was to deal with the Ming army's cavalry, so the troops on his side were much stronger.

Taikang didn't have Ping'an's courage, and he was trapped in a tight siege with his two thousand cavalry. He led the crowd to attack several times but was unable to break out.

Seeing more and more brothers die under Yuan Jun's sword, he was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst, and the iron rod in his hand was almost leaving an afterimage, trying to carve out a bloody path. But the more anxious he was, the easier it was for loopholes to appear. He was just killing the enemy with all his might, but he was unexpectedly shot in the right shoulder by an arrow from the Yuan army.

With a pop, the sharp arrow shot through his shoulder armor and pierced deeply into his shoulder. Taikang screamed and almost lost his grip on the weapon.

When the Yuan army saw that the Ming army general was injured and shot by an arrow, they immediately rushed towards him from all directions like hungry wolves seeing blood. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army rode forward one after another, trying to rescue the commander, but there were too many Yuan troops, keeping them firmly on the periphery and separated from Taikang.

Taikang held the iron spear in one hand and gnashed his teeth across it, resisting the scimitars coming from all directions. The soldiers of the Yuan army spurred their horses and turned around him with strange screams. With one arm straight out and a scimitar held flat, they slashed him one after another.

The sophisticated mountain armor blocked most of the attacks for him. But the war horse didn't have much protection, and finally fell to the ground whining under the Yuan army's attack. Taikang also fell to the ground along with the war horse, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed, "My life is over."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Yuan troops surrounding him screamed and fell from their horses. The rest of the Yuan troops could not care about him and quickly fled on horseback to avoid the sudden and fierce attack.

Taikang took a closer look and saw that the fierce general with a white horse and silver spear, thick eyebrows and big eyes, who penetrated the Yuan army's defense line, was none other than his boss Ping An. Ping An glanced at him and continued to ride his horse to fight with the Yuan army.

His soldiers quickly stepped forward, helped him onto his horse, then protected him on his left and right, and followed Ping An to break through.

At this time, there was a dense sound of gongs from behind, which was a signal that the Ming army's chariot formation was completed and the cavalry could withdraw.

Ping An then led his men to break out of the siege...

Gaobasi, who was watching the battle from a distance, was so angry that his nose was twisted. If it weren't for this unstoppable Ming army general, he would have eaten the two thousand Ming cavalry.

But now was not the time to be upset, Gobas forced himself to stay awake. Remind yourself that you don't intend to fight the Ming army today, just want to burn their food and grass.

According to the original plan, he entangled the Ming army cavalry on one side, while Hong Boyan led the crowd to burn the grain carts on the other side. As a result, Hong Boyan was driven far away from the battlefield by the Ming army general, and the army dispersed Huang. By the time they regrouped and returned to the hillside, the Ming army's vehicle array had been set up.

Upon seeing this, Gobas cursed "trash" and ordered his subordinates to rush towards the Ming army's vehicle formation, while lighting torches and preparing to launch rockets.

However, before the Yuan army entered the range of the rocket, the Ming army on the opposite side opened fire first.

Tongues of fire spurted out, and earth-shattering roars resounded throughout the valley. The Yuan army rushing in front, like wheat cut by a sickle, all turned on their backs and fell to the ground screaming.

When the thick smoke dissipated, Gao Basi discovered that the Ming army's carts were equipped with bowl-mouth blunderbuss.

This kind of artillery has a short barrel, short range, and low rate of fire. But the advantage is that it is light. Each cannon weighs only thirty kilograms, and the ammunition is less than fifty kilograms. The recoil is not as strong as the tiger squatting cannon, so it is suitable for mounting on a carriage.

"Don't be afraid! It takes time for the Ming army to load the artillery!" Gobas came to his senses first and shouted to his subordinates: "Hurry up and don't give them a chance to fire a second shot!"

"Hoo ho!" The Yuan army cavalry plucked up their courage again and rushed towards the Ming army's chariot formation. But in this way, their plan to launch rockets in the distance came to nothing.

The Ming army's artillery was indeed silent, but the Ming army not only had artillery, they also had bows and arrows.

When the Yuan army came within fifty steps, the soldiers of the Ming army bent their bows and arrows and fired at the Yuan army. The Yuan army also fired back with bows and arrows. Both parties are ready to enter the mutual shooting stage!

Shooting at such a close range naturally requires aiming, and aiming on a bumpy horseback is not only much more difficult, but also much slower than aiming down-to-earth.

Moreover, the Ming army was covered by a car formation, and only a small part of their body was exposed... So when the rounds were fired, the Yuan army obviously suffered a big loss, and they were all hit by arrows and fell from their horses.

The Yuan army couldn't even shoot at people, so how could they have the time to shoot rockets? Besides, the efficiency of rockets is not high. It is very difficult to ignite their grain trucks when the Ming army is guarding them.

In the end, the Yuan army could only rely on the large number of people to swarm forward and wanted to light the fire directly with torches.

The battle then entered the melee stage.

The two sides fought fiercely across the car formation.

At this time, the long spears of the Ming army naturally took advantage of it, while the scimitars of the Yuan army seemed too short. Fortunately, their task was only to cover the fire and wait for the people behind to use torches to light the grain truck on fire before they could withdraw.
