On an unknown mound, the Fourth Army's engineering battalion had set up three lines of defense and four deep traffic trenches here, and organized its tight firepower system to fight against the 50,000 cavalry surrounding them.

Although these 50,000 cavalry belong to different tribes, they also rely on their large population and high morale, and fought desperately to attack the positions of the Fourth Army. The soldiers of the Fourth Army did not know how many attacks the enemy had repelled.

In short, the bodies left behind on the entire grass slope have already covered the entire field, and the soldiers of the Fourth Army have also begun to suffer casualties, and many even have to take bayonets to fight against these cavalry. Fortunately, these cavalry are rushing back, so they have not caused much damage.

Huang Taiji, Wu Xiang and the Mongolian cavalry were also very worried about the combat method of the Imperial Guard infantry. They never thought that infantry could dig pits in the field to conduct guard battles. Their cavalry was good at launching rapid mobile warfare on the grassland, but they had to fight with serious casualties. However, as long as they wanted to eat him, they had to chew him and had to pay casualties. But now everyone has their own little plan. Although they were all fighting together, they deliberately slowed down the pace and waited for the other party to get enough guns first and then they were generous.

Seeing that this was not a solution, these enemy chiefs who resisted the Ming Dynasty changed their combat plans and began to surround the Fourth Army and attack the Third Army.

Like the Third Army, the Fourth Army, was a mixed infantry regiment. It was armed to the teeth and used all the latest scientific research crystals of the Ming Dynasty. There are various deadly weapons for killing people, including all kinds of tear gas, such as tear gas, the main components are methane and hydrogen sulfide. Among them, the most toxic is hydrogen sulfide. People who can stimulate when the concentration is too high can be irritated and their heads are dizzy and weak. When the fourth Army waits for the wind direction, they will be released, forcing the enemy cavalry that has finally rushed up to have to retreat quickly;

There is no convention forbidding the use of chemical weapons now, so this toxic gas is better than a flintshot gun. The bullet may not cause a brave Tartar to fall, but the magical hydrogen sulfide can make a strong Tartar faint in the ground within a few seconds. However, this toxic gas is very easy to solve. As long as you cover a wet cloth on your face, hydrogen sulfide is very soluble in water and can quickly offset the toxicity of hydrogen sulfide.

But the Tartars didn't understand these methods. They had no choice but to exclaim that the Ming army in front of them knew magic.

Therefore, although the Fourth Army cannot be as mobile as the cavalry, it can exert huge combat power once it turns into a defensive war.

However, infantry like the Fourth Army also has their own shortcomings, which is that they are not proactive and will fall into a deadlock of being exhausted once they are besieged. Especially for this kind of external combat that is free from logistical support, they may face the situation of having to climb out of the trenches and fighting against the enemy cavalry.

As the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, Oboi knew the flaw of the Fourth Army. Therefore, when tens of thousands of enemy cavalry attacked the Fourth Army, he was not worried about any mistakes in the Fourth Army. However, when the enemy cavalry is now changing its attack to siege, he has to stop fighting outside and constantly harvest the enemy cavalry's living forces. He must lead the main force to rescue the Fourth Army.

Otherwise, the Fourth Army would have to be trapped and died, or they would have to rush out and be wiped out by enemy cavalry several times the enemy.

But they also hit the thoughts of these enemy chiefs. Their purpose was to surround the points and attack the aid, so they immediately surrounded the remaining 60,000 cavalry towards the Third Army.

kill!

The 10,000 elite cavalry of the Third Army had to cooperate with the 60,000 iron cavalry in front of the Fourth Army. Fortunately, their firearms were sharp, making up for the shortcomings of their inexperienced bows and arrows because of the majority of new recruits. Moreover, because they avoided the strain of arm strength, they could quickly block the enemy's attack and kill the enemy cavalry when they came into contact with the battle.

This was the first time that the Third Army of the Imperial Guards had truly fought against a powerful cavalry in the world that was several times more experienced than the enemy and was richer than themselves. They just plowed into this hard brown iron stream like a plow, tenacious and unyielding, and their eyes were filled with the desire for blood.

A year ago, they were just farmers who worked hard in the fields or scholars who studied hard in private schools. Most of them were honest and obeyed the rules, but at this moment, their performance was even more brave than these Tartar cavalry. Under the generous welfare system without worries and strong ideological education, these imperial guard soldiers who were easily transformed by thoughts forgot what death is, and aroused the Han people's original bloodline.

At the same time, the Fourth Army also launched an attack. Since the Third Army dared to attack several times for their Fourth Army, the people of their Fourth Army naturally could not be cowards.

Lu Jiayu, the general of the Fourth Army, rushed out of the trenches first, and the remaining towns, brigades, battalions, and teams rushed out first. This was one of the combat ethics of the Imperial Guards. The officers led the battle and mobilized the soldiers as much as possible to the greatest fearlessness.

In addition to the need to be buried, an infantry battalion was left to guard various artillery with key technologies and serve as a reserve team.

The soldiers of the other Fourth Army began to take the initiative to dive towards the enemy cavalry in front of them. Because they were equipped with strike rifles with faster operation and longer range, the Ace First Battalion rushed to the front and capsized towards the enemy in front with dense and high-frequency bullets, the purpose was to disrupt the enemy's formation, and there was indeed riot in the iron cavalry in front.

The other two infantry battalions attacked from the left and right wings in fan surfaces, and were prepared to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing up from both sides, while the engineer battalions were at the end.

The artillery has stopped attacking, and this upcoming close-range hand-to-hand combat is not very useful to them, but the Feitian Battalion is still wielding its own attacks, and the burning bags are still constantly falling into the dense group of iron cavalry. However, these enemy cavalry seem to have learned lessons and dare not arrange them too densely to avoid greater damage. However, this is more conducive to the soldiers of the Fourth Army embedded in like wedges. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry are confined to this small space, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness, while the soldiers of the Fourth Army are better at stabbing the horse's belly and chopping the horse's legs with bayonets.

The enemy cavalry had to retreat to create enough maneuverable space to encircle and annihilate the Fourth Army that had left the trenches. As long as they were not entangled by these group of Ming army infantry like mad dogs, the cavalry on their side could completely annihilate the Ming army.

On this side, because the Fourth Army forced the enemy cavalry to make a strategic retreat, while the Third Army gathered more and more enemy cavalry, and many Third Army soldiers had already made the enemy's deceased souls.

Zhu Youjian himself was also scattered, with several scars on his face, and several holes in the bloody knife. All his personal soldiers had died, and the entire First Brigade had lost one-third of them.

Lu Jiayu of the Fourth Army knew that the enemy cavalry would attack more fiercely next time, but his fourth army could not keep firmly in the trenches and be trapped to death, nor could he watch the cavalry soldiers of the Third Army be annihilated by the enemy cavalry.

"How much gas do we have?" Lu Jiayu asked.

Yang Tinglin simply threw the glass glasses that had no half of the lenses on the ground, took out a pair again and put them on, and said, "There are still thirty bags (about 2,000 liters per bag). Before this trip, it was expected that they would be attacked by a large number of cavalrymen, so he prepared more. After all, this guy is better than a firearm but better to carry."

"Select three hundred dead soldiers from the cavalry battalion, and rushed into the enemy camp with these thirty bags of gas, and rushing while defying until everyone fell!"

As Lu Jiayu said, "I am the one of the three hundred dead soldiers. Now you, Yang Daxiucai, will lead the entire army. Go and select soldiers!"

"No! You are Lu Ge Laozhi's younger brother, one of the five generals of my Imperial Guard. You can't make any mistakes, let me go." Yang Tinglin said, and Lu Jiayu scolded him: "Execute the order!"

Although Yang Tinglin is the deputy commander of the governor, he is indeed a subordinate of Lu Jiayu in military command. Therefore, he shut up after being scolded by him and had to respond loudly, "Yes!"

"The family is not the only son, and those who have not married and have children have not yet had a wife. Those who dare to die on the battlefield for our Ming Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor will stand up if they meet these three conditions!"

Yang Tinglin quickly selected 300 more brave suicides from the two cavalry battalions of the Fourth Army by this standard, and formed a team of ten people and one team of suicide squads. Each brought a gas gas bag, wore a special mask, and rode his horse to kill the iron cavalry that had already charged forward on the opposite side.

"The Feitian Battalion went directly to assist the Third Army. The other battalions immediately boarded the four-wheeled chariots and organized the array. Once the gas and poisonous gas spread, the enemy cavalry showed signs of fainting on a large scale, they rushed forward and killed me hard!"

As Yang Tinglin said, he saw the third army soldiers who were disappearing from horses in the distance. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. One of them was his classmate in the Royal Military Academy and his grandson of the former Dali Temple Masao, but he had the same ambition to join the army as himself, but now he is separated from his yin and yang, which makes Yang Tinglin's eyes break open.

...

Jiannu Abatai and Badali of the Korchin tribe led their respective elite cavalry to the front, and their eyes were already showing excitement. They were confident that they could destroy the formation of the Ming army in front of them after a charge.

But they were surprised by the three hundred Ming army cavalry who suddenly risked their lives to rush directly towards them. Although they also knew that the Ming army now had an extremely powerful magic that could make everyone smell the stimulating smell when blowing the southeast wind, and make everyone feel soft and dizzy for a moment; but they didn't know that the big bags in front of them were the gas poison gas that could instantly kill people.

Therefore, Abatai and Badali rushed over without any scruples. They wanted to teach the hundreds of cavalry a lesson so that they would not think that hundreds of cavalry could withstand the attack of their tens of thousands of cavalry.

But when they started to fight, they could hear a whisper. Then, some cavalry could feel as if they had been drained from their strength in an instant.

Some Tartars had just put a knife on Yiming Army's neck, but instantly they were dizzy in their heads and were cut by the nearly dead Ming soldiers first.

In fact, without waiting for these Tartars to fall to the ground, the vigorously running horses fell to the ground first because they breathed a lot of gas and poisonous gas. Even the Tartars on the horse's back were also fell to the ground.

"The Ming army is using the demonic wind again!" Some Tartars were so panicked that they wanted to retreat, but now they were charging forward. Retreating quickly can only bring worse consequences, just like a sudden reversal on the highway will lead to more tragic car accidents.

The poisonous gas began to spread, and countless Tartar cavalry who had just advanced as bravely as tanks suddenly fell a large area, like a sorghum field swept by a storm.

kill!

Yang Tinglin rushed over with the other soldiers of the Fourth Army. In front of the cavalry, only the crazy-torn infantry were the only ones who were raped and harvested the lives of these cavalry at this time as simple as a shot on a dead man.

Lu Jiayu continued to sprint inside and continued to release poison gas. Although many of them had been shot to the ground, and although they themselves were also a little uncomfortable because they accidentally inhaled traces of gas, they would continue to release poison as long as they had not fallen yet.

If the gas gas density was not high and it would fall to the Flying Battalion soldiers who had thrown from the sky and instead affected their own Flying Battalion soldiers, the Flying Battalion soldiers would have already put countless gas gases in the middle of the enemy cavalry that was besieging the Third Army, which would probably have a larger kill area than the combustion bag.

However, the burning bag left behind still caused losses to many enemy cavalry, and also shattered the desire of these enemy cavalry to quickly encircle and annihilate the Fourth and Third Armys.

The combat effectiveness of cavalry is also limited, and war horses cannot always run tensely and violently, even people cannot adapt. Therefore, after sunset and when it is dark, the enemy cavalry decisively withdraws from the battle.

The Fourth Army and the Third Army were able to survive the most difficult day safely.

The fierce battle with more than 100,000 Tatar cavalry was a battle that tempered the soldiers. Even if the surviving soldiers were seriously disabled, they were more ruthless and murderous than before.

They snuggled up to each other, supported each other, gathered together, surrounded their respective commanders, staring at the burning bonfires.

The wolves in the distance dared not approach them, but they started to cry and roar first. The sound of crying and roaring was sad and desolate, as if they had been in their teenage years in one day.

In addition to being relieved by his arm and being shot in a rib, Lu Jiayu was a little dizzy due to inhaling a little poisonous gas, he did not have much risk of life. His Fourth Army did not lose any serious personnel, with only more than 3,000 casualties. However, the Third Cavalry Army of Oboi had more than 6,000 casualties, a full third. Fortunately, the system was still intact, and he survived was an elite cavalry whose cavalry and willpower should not be underestimated. They were all the essence of the formation of larger cavalry in the future of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the bigger problem he faced was not morale and combat reduction, but logistics resources, ammunition consumption and medicine and food and water resources, which were probably the biggest difficulties for the Western Route Army at present.

Oboi was not sure how long it could last, and Lu Jiayu also mentioned: "I don't know how the Eastern Army is going. If Your Majesty does not issue an order to retreat, our Western Army will probably all be compensated here."
