Large-caliber artillery couldn't be brought along, but muskets, grenades, and other weapons were brought out almost all at once. At this point, there was no room for stinginess or saving resources; Fu Youde wanted to achieve victory in one fell swoop.

Not only is the Ming Dynasty's logistics severely strained now that they are deep in the grasslands, preventing the army from continuing its march, but the war has also dragged on for far too long, starting in early spring and now reaching the height of summer. It is indeed time to bring it to a successful conclusion.

Several Tatar tribes began their charge. As Yesu's base of operations, these people had to show their courage, for their Great Khan and for their own interests.

The children of Changshengtian also admire the brave. In the vast grasslands, only the strong can occupy more resources, and only the strong can survive better!

The sight of thousands of horses galloping was truly awe-inspiring. Even seasoned veterans were somewhat terrified at this moment. It was hard to say whether spears, shields, or sabers could actually stop the cavalry charge.

The Ming infantry were already in full battle array, and tactically speaking, formation was extremely important for infantry. Especially when dealing with cavalry, if the formation was disrupted, they would basically become easy targets for the cavalry to hunt down.

Suddenly, cavalrymen emerged from both flanks of the Ming army formation. These cavalrymen carried almost no weapons, only simple cloth armor for self-defense.

These men charged toward the Tartar cavalry and hurled their grenades. Although the light drizzle did slightly affect the grenades' power, it didn't completely render them useless; they still posed a certain threat at this moment.

Even a small explosion could rouse the Tartar warhorses, which seemed to have undergone rigorous training. These horses were relatively unfamiliar with such explosions, which could potentially disrupt the charge of large cavalry units.

As these cavalrymen began harassing the Tartars, the Ming army unleashed a volley of arrows, along with numerous powerful crossbows. Naturally, many Tartars also joined in; skilled in archery and horsemanship, though seated on horseback, they still drew their bows and arrows, inevitably striking Ming soldiers as well.

This is a clash of wills, a display of the determination of two armies, and also involves a keen grasp of opportunities, ruthlessness, decisiveness, and superior weaponry.

Lan Yu also knew that there weren't many strategies available for such a battle. The necessary preparations had already been made before the battle, and now it was just a matter of continuing to persevere and showing more decisiveness and tenacity than those Tartars.

Suddenly, a troop of cavalry charged out from the right flank. Leading them was a burly man whose broadsword wielded with great force, felling a Tartar soldier who blocked his path, and continuing his resolute charge towards the Tartar's central army.

"Shimei, the Tartar Khan is over there!" Zhu Neng exclaimed excitedly, a ferocious smile spreading across his face. "We still have a grenade; we have to take good care of him!"

We must serve this Tartar Khan well. We must capture the king first. As long as we break through the Tartar central army, these Tartar troops that seem to be fighting tenaciously will flee.

The course of a war can change in an instant, and often these small changes can completely alter the course of a decisive battle.

"Brothers, charge with me!" Zhu Neng shouted excitedly, brandishing his broadsword. "Slay the Khan of the Tartars, and you'll be ennobled and appointed general today!"

For many Ming Dynasty soldiers, the day of being ennobled and promoted was indeed upon them. If they could kill the Tartar Khan, they would reach the pinnacle of their lives, and their destinies would be completely transformed.

Yesu persisted; he couldn't retreat at this point, nor did he think it was necessary for him to. His central army was very secure, and the Han cavalry couldn't get close to him, so there was no need to worry about them.

Keep going! Now let's see whose desire to win is stronger, and whose fighting will is more tenacious.

The two armies are engaged in a fierce battle, and it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious. They should just grit their teeth and persevere. The Tartars may be inherently fierce, but the Ming army, a veteran of countless battles, is also incredibly powerful!
