"Yes, Master Beizi is right."
"Come here, two people," Bolo shouted to the back, "One goes to Ningyuan and tells Prince Su about the situation here. The other goes to Shengjing and tells the emperor that the Ming navy has joined the battle, and it's a landing operation."
"Yes." The two received the order and left quickly.
Bolo looked around again and after confirming that the Ming army had no other troops, he gave the order to attack.
Boom!
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and a thousand cavalrymen charged forward first.
The remaining cavalry divided into dozens of teams and launched a charge behind.
The Ming army on the shore was digging trenches under the command of Zeng Ying.
The trench was so wide and deep that men could not cross it and horses could not jump over it.
In order to ensure the safety of the army, Zeng Ying dug two trenches.
There is one team on the south side and one on the north side.
The two trenches were ten feet apart.
If the Jiannu wanted to attack, they could only launch an attack from the west.
The result was just as he expected. The Jiannu attacked directly from the west.
Listening to the rumbling of horse hooves, Zeng Ying ordered: "Form a battle array."
The soldiers in the front row immediately placed the chevaux de frise in front of them.
The other soldiers hid behind.
The soldiers who were digging put down their tools, climbed out of the trench and entered the formation with the help of their companions.
When Bolo's cavalry arrived, the Ming army had already formed its battle formation.
"put!"
At Zeng Ying's command, the Ming army fired their muskets, bows and crossbows at the same time.
The three Eight Banners soldiers who rushed in the front were shot dead on the spot.
The rest of the Eight Banners soldiers continued to charge and soon reached the vicinity of the chevaux de frise.
The cavalrymen in the front row waved the ropes with hooks in their hands and threw them at the chevaux de frise with all their might. After they hooked the ropes, they pulled back with all their might.
The seven chevaux de frise were spaced apart to allow space for cavalry to pass through.
Just as the other Eight Banners soldiers were about to pass through the gap, the Ming army's grenades arrived.
boom!
The grenade exploded beneath the horse's belly.
The shock wave generated by the explosion carried lead bullets and iron filings into the warhorse's belly.
The warhorse was startled by the pain.
