Chapter 364 Key Points Asking for a Monthly Pass

The explosion of two thunder arrows immediately caused nearly a hundred Mongolian knights to be in chaos. It was not that these Mongolian warriors could not stand it, but that the war horses under their crotch were shocked. The brewing charge was in turmoil before it was launched.

When Yang Axi saw this scene, he pulled out a scimitar without hesitation, and drove the horses to charge with a loud roar. There were more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers charged with him. They belonged to two sect teams, one was the Zhenghuang Banner Right Team led by Yang Axi, and the other was the Zhongsect team of Zhenghong Banner.

Although the Eight Banners soldiers advancing eastwards are all operated in units of auxiliary teams, it is not ruled out that two, three or more auxiliary teams will fight together. The way of cavalry is to attach importance to the art of unity and separation.

So after discovering the vanguard of the Mongolian army, Yang Axi and another Zuo Ling named Jin Amin joined forces to set up an ambush here. They first deliberately left a little trace, luring the Mongols to divide a hundred households and open the search screen in front, and then appeared swaying, listing the battle formations to fight the Mongols. Of course, the 100 Mongolian cavalry would not be scared away by the 300 Eight Banners soldiers in the wilderness. After all, the Eight Banners soldiers were formed too short, so it would not be possible to fight a dignified formation. Moreover, there was a Mongolian Thousand People team behind the 100 Mongolian cavalry. They could win a complete victory as long as they entangled their opponents for a while.

But the Mongols would never have dreamed that Chen Dexing would have equipped each Eight Banners team with a mobile three-bow crossbow and twelve heavenly thunder arrows!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Mongols were frightened, the Eight Banner Armored Cavalry rushed out. This time, these Eight Banner Armored Cavalry performed at the highest level!

The two sect teams rushed from the left and right wings respectively. They did not fight hand in hand, but just charged. Yang Axi's Huangqi sect team rushed first. One hundred and fifty cavalry lined up in very uneven formations and roared up. They immediately collided with the Mongolian cavalry who had not yet run!

Whenever a cavalry rushes, it means that people rely on horsepower, and horses rely on sprinting. Speed ​​increases weight and converts the force of collision. Therefore, the horse team that cannot rush to run is a big advantage.

The Mongols' Hundred Horse Team was immediately hit and turned over!

At the same time as the collision occurred, the scimitar in Yang Axi's hand was not idle, but pointed directly in front of him, and his whole body also fell forward, turning into a spear lying on the horse's back, and suddenly slid past a Mongolian cavalry. With the huge momentum of the galloping horse, this seemingly light slippery but contained more than a thousand pounds of force.

The sound of weapons breaking armor and the sour sound of sharp weapons cutting the flesh and blood sounded densely! After rushing, I don’t know how many people turned over and fell off the horse. Yang Axi and his Eight Banners soldiers did not stop fighting hand in hand. Instead, they rushed past. Just as they completed the attack, Jin Amin’s Zhenghong Banners team also trampled on and gave this messy Mongolian hundred-man team a fatal blow!

The tactics they adopted were also fancy charges. With horsepower and speed, they gently slid the scimitar from the Mongolians. No matter how many layers of armor were, they were as vulnerable as paper at this moment. After two sets of impact, less than one-third of the unlucky Mongolian 100-man team could still ride on horses. The ground was full of human bodies or war horses, and the sound of people's humming and screaming. The sound of horses' whining and neighing sounds became.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Yang Axi gathered his horse team, and there was no time to count the number of people, and there was no time to cut off the heads of the Mongolians, so he shouted and ordered the retreat. He and Jin Amin had only 300 cavalry under him. He relied on two three-bow crossbows that could fire the sky thunder arrows to catch the other side off guard. It was not because their combat effectiveness was very strong. If they didn't leave now, wait for the Mongolian team of thousands to come up. The lives of the big guys would be explained.

The retreat was also chosen for a long time. Three miles away from the battlefield was a dilapidated deserted village. This was once a large village with two or three hundred families. There was a wall of rammed earth wrapped the entire village. There was only one entrance and exit. The wall was quite solid and thick, obviously left behind during the Mongolian invasion more than 30 years ago! The houses in the village were all Han-style. There was also a rather solid and spacious brick and tiles courtyard in the center of the village. It was obviously a person with some identity.

However, the entire village has been abandoned for decades, without any popularity, and the dirt roads in the village have been covered with weeds. Most of the houses in the village have collapsed, and some have become nests for wild animals and birds. Only the mansion is basically intact, with blue bricks on the ground in the yard, and although yellow grass has grown in the cracks of the bricks. However, the doors of the yard are lying on the ground, almost completely decayed. The gates of several houses inside are also crooked and fell on the ground. I wonder if they were knocked open? There was nothing in the house, empty and as if they had been swept away by someone, Yang Axi knew that this village must have been broken by the Mongols more than thirty years ago. Residents were either killed or caught or climbed the mountain to become savages. The property in the village has of course become the trophy of the Mongols...

The geographical location of this village is very good, just across the Yellow Sea and the stretching mountains and forests. It is about five or six miles away from the beach, less than four miles away from the forest. And there are several small hills covered with trees two or three miles away from the rear, as if several stumbling blocks the way of the Mongolian army. To the east of these "stumbling blocks", there is a river called Zhuangshui.

Such terrain is also the reason why the two wild Jurchen Tatars, Yang Axi and Jin Amin, chose to stick to the village rather than retreat into the mountains and forests. This is the best terrain to block the Mongolian army from advancing eastward! If they were held by them, they would be the biggest contributor to this battle!

...

Outside the deserted village, a huge fire was lit up, emitting a fire that soared into the sky. The horns were sobbing, and the fire was heard one after another in the morning. At the intersection of the northwest and the mountains and forests, thousands of flames suddenly lit up, flowing towards the huge fire like mercury pouring down the ground.

"Brother Jin, the Mongolians are convening the brigade! In addition to the person who almost fought with us just now, there are about two teams of thousands!"

Yang Axi had already handed over the war horses to his men to take care of them. He and Jin Amin climbed up the rammed earth wall of the village and observed the enemy situation outside the village.

"It should be two teams of thousands, at least one thousand people, we only have three hundred... Three hundred Jurchens and one thousand Mongolians? Can it work?"

Now we are putting it on defense, not guerrillas in the forest, saying that it is not a fake one. This is Mongolia in the 13th century, not Mongolia that believed in Lamaism later!

Yang Axi said: "We are in danger and seek wealth and honor. At most, we will be able to guard the army of the Ming King. Then we will make great contributions. When the Eight Banners are expanded, we will at least be a collaborator!"

"That's right! We are fighting for wealth today! After fighting well, we have enough to eat for future generations." Jin Amin stared at the bonfire and said firmly, "These two thousand-person teams should be the pioneers of Mongolia, and there will be no equipment. We have two bed crossbows and twenty-two thunder arrows under the wall, so we are not afraid of not being able to defend it! Now it depends on whether the Ming King's soldiers arrive first or the Mongolian team arrive first?"

"It must be the King of Ming!" Yang Axi said, "Our Eight Banners has more than two sect teams! Now each banner has eight sect teams, with a total of 64 sect teams. They all have spread out. Are you still afraid that you can't hold Tacha'er's hind legs?"

...

"Boom boom boom..."

Explosions were heard one after another, and someone was releasing the Heavenly Thunder Arrow in King Tacha'er's yellow tent! Looking at the Khan's face, the person who released the Heavenly Thunder was obviously not his!

The yellow tent was in a mess, with wine glasses and vegetable bowls poured over the ground, and soup was sprinkled everywhere. No one came to clean up. It turned out that when the first explosion sounded, Tachaer was holding a banquet in the yellow tent, and invited several Liaodong tribe leaders who were pro-Mongolia to dinner. He also asked Yang Po'er to come out to meet the woman who had not yet become the princess of King Ochijin Wulus. However, it was still a rare display. At least it could break the myth of Chen Dexing's arrival in the world.

But as soon as the banquet began, someone shot thunder arrows at the Mongolian camp in the dark! Although there was no accurate point, the rumbling momentum was quite large. What annoyed Tachaer even more was that the horse-spreading rafts he had scattered was that Chen Dexing's cavalry infiltrated near his camp, and he also shot thunder arrows with a bed crossbow!

This is clearly Chen Dexing's plan to get tired of the enemy! Since he is going to get tired of the enemy, he doesn't want to know that Chen Dexing has already planned to fight the Mongolian army on the way to Liaodong to Yalu River!

A large number of Mongolian households, including Liu Xiaoyuan, Guo Shoujing and Hong Fuyuan, were called to the yellow tent. These people all looked solemn, looking at the Khan King who was walking.

"Is there any news about Huotu?" Tachaer suddenly stopped and asked left and right. The Eight Banners soldiers who were shooting thunder arrows were not in his heart. Two thousand-person teams had been sent out by him. It is estimated that they would soon be able to clean up the Eight Banners soldiers around the camp. What really worried him was Huotu's 2,000 people.

"The rewards received before the evening were all sound, and no trace of the Southern Barbarians was found."

Tachaer snorted: "He hasn't discovered anyone else, he is afraid that others have discovered him!"

"King Khan, why not send troops to reinforce Prince Huotu." The Mongolian households present suggested one after another. They all knew that although Prince Huotu was not a legitimate son, he was quite favored by King Khan.

"No!" Tachaer waved his hand violently, "It's dark now. If the Southern Barbarians set up an ambush in the middle and set up hundreds of crossbows and shoot thunder arrows, how many of our reinforcements will die?" He pondered for a while, "You all go back and restrain your subordinates and let them rest with peace of mind... We have to go on a road trip tomorrow, how can we not sleep well?"
