The Beiyuan cavalry seemed to be very fast, but in fact they were controlling their speed rhythmically.
Because they were waiting, waiting for the Ming army's firepower to cover them.
All things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. You have a fast horse and a scimitar, and I have a strong bow and a powerful crossbow. In the hundreds of years of war with the Central Plains, although the Hu people won many times, they were also cut by the Han people's bows and crossbows, just like wheat.
Harvest time.
The charging Beiyuan Qianhu kept their eyes fixed on the Ming army's formation in front of them. Under the cold weather, the Ming army did not construct ditches, but only placed countless resistance horses in front of the position, and wheelbarrows were used to block it.
.
At the same time, his ears were also pricked. As long as he heard the sound of cannons, he and his warriors would wildly mobilize their war horses. During the gap between the loading and firing of the Ming army, he bravely rushed in from the space between the horses and wheelbarrows.
, disperse them.
The art and rhythm of war have penetrated into their blood.
~~~
Pooh!
Amidst the roaring of horse hooves, the officer at the front of the Ming army's formation spat fiercely.
At the same time, he raised his right hand high, watched the opponent's cavalry formation become more dense, and shouted, "Get ready!"
The sound of squeaking and squeaking of crossbows was heard endlessly. The experienced gunners, with some saliva on their thumbs, lay on the cannons and aimed at the charging enemies.
Beat them up!
Walk!
Swish, swish, countless bows and arrows flew into the sky, and then fell like raindrops. The falling bows and arrows were all Mitsubishi arrowheads, falling and circling in the air, making whistling whistling sounds.
At the moment when the Ming army's bows and arrows were fired, Qianhu of the Beiyuan cavalry shouted at the same time, "Charge!"
boom!
The horses suddenly accelerated and galloped, whizzing, whizzing, whizzing, and amidst the rain of arrows in the sky, the cavalry charged quickly, when the rain of arrows fell behind them. Their formation was still tight, and only a few unlucky ones were shot by bows and arrows and fell off their horses.
Go ahead!
The Beiyuan cavalry did not care for the horses under their crotches at all. The spurs hit the horses' belly hard, and the horses, stimulated by the pain, ran and charged like crazy.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about 200 meters, so close that both the enemy and ourselves could clearly see each other's ferocious faces.
Get up, hurry up!
The officers of Beiyuan shouted at the top of their lungs on their horses because they saw the shining military crossbows lying flat on the ground in the Ming army formation.
Hoo, ho, ho!
The hammer of the military crossbow fell, and the crossbow arrows as thick as an arm roared out.
A gap suddenly appeared among the charging Yuan army cavalry, and a crossbow arrow penetrated several people at the same time, causing a cloud of blood mist.
The hearts of thousands of families of cavalrymen in the Northern Yuan Dynasty are bleeding. The sons of the grassland are not the weeds everywhere, with inexhaustible supply.
But now, as long as we can break into the enemy's infantry position, everything is worth it.
Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were fifty steps away.
The cavalry of Beiyuan saw the panic of the Ming army infantry through the forest of spears. The next step was that they would ride their horses and rush in fiercely. In normal times, they would definitely not use this unflattering method, but they
There is also a backup plan.
They imagined that at the moment when the troops were about to come into contact, they would let the war horses rush into the opponent's spear at high speed. The knights on the horses skillfully dismounted and turned into armored infantry for the second wave of charge. At the same time, another team of a thousand people
The cavalry followed them and directly broke up the Ming army's formation.
After the two thousand-man troops, there were thousands of cavalry slowly following behind. As long as the Ming army was in chaos, they would be like hunting sheep on the grassland, taking whatever they asked for.
But suddenly, Beiyuan Qianhu's expression changed drastically.
Because he saw, at the forefront of the Ming army's position, dozens of artillery pieces, with their ferocious muzzles exposed, pointing straight at them.
The people of Beiyuan thought well, and the Ming army was not stupid.
The backhand on the battlefield, one move after another.
Bang! Bang!
Choking white smoke began to fill the air, and the charging Yuan army cavalry suddenly fell on their backs.
The flaming projectiles hit the frozen ice and snow and bounced off their charging route, creating bloody lines like plowing a field.
put!
The gunners of the Ming army kept reloading and firing away from the fat man.
Projectiles, iron sand, poisonous gas and smoke all rushed towards the enemy.
~~~~
Click!
Law, law, law!
The wail of war horses and the sound of broken spears suddenly arose on the battlefield.
Beiyuan's cavalry still rushed in front of the Ming army along the gap between the horses. Suddenly, a huge gap appeared in the front position of the Ming army.
The next second, the Beiyuan cavalry behind them swarmed in like wild wolves smelling blood.
Come with me!
The captain of the second echelon of the Ming army, holding a simple sword in his hand, roared and rushed forward.
Countless Ming soldiers wearing battle jackets, followed by officers they knew, rushed towards the gap desperately.
The sound of killing echoed between heaven and earth.
Bows, arrows and artillery bombarded the Yuan army's following cavalry.
Axes, swords and spears were swung desperately at the Yuan army that was approaching.
The war horses screamed sadly, broke through the spears, rushed into the Ming army's position and fell headlong.
The Beiyuan warriors formed a group of several people. First they had round shields and scimitars, followed by archers who shot at close range and quickly, fighting the Ming army in desperate hand-to-hand combat.
Mother! A soldier of the Ming Dynasty had his arm cut off by a scimitar. He covered the wound and rolled on the ground, crying out in grief and indignation.
Kill! The heavy ax in the hand of the captain of the Ming Army fell heavily, directly smashing the round shield of the Yuan Army, and at the same time smashing the Yuan Army's shield into pieces.
The ice and snow beneath their feet began to melt as they encountered hot blood.
The white snow turned into a pool of bright red blood. No one struggled in it, fell down, got up, and fell again.
The sun shines brighter, and the light of swords and guns shines brighter!
~
Dad! The men in the first line below are dying and can’t stop them!
On the hillside, Zhu Gaoxu could clearly see that thousands of cavalrymen, following two thousand-man troops, had already formed an arrow formation as they advanced, and were about to rush in in the direction where the Ming army's situation was most critical.
Once they rushed in, the leading Ming army formation collapsed. Once a square formation collapsed, it would cause a chain reaction.
Fight back! Otherwise, they will cause chaos! Zhu Gaoxu shouted loudly.
Shut up! Zhu Di's eyes are bloodshot. Remember, never lose your cool on the battlefield.
But our son is dying! Zhu Gaoxu's voice was filled with tears.
Zhu Di stared ahead and spoke through his teeth, "This is the fate of a soldier!"
~~~~
Block! Block!
Li Bin, the general under Yan Fan, shouted loudly in the square formation.
Seeing that the gap in the cavalry's attack was getting wider and wider, he shouted, Guards, follow me!
As the shouts fell, hundreds of strong soldiers, who were all wrapped in armor and looked like monsters, rushed towards the gap carrying huge sabers.
In an instant, long swords came overwhelmingly. The charging Yuan army was chopped into two pieces before they even got off their horses as planned.
kill!
Li Bin roared, and his whole body was covered with the blood of the enemy. He seemed to be a bloody man, roaring again and again, brothers, kill the Tatars!
Kill the Tatars!
The infantry, who were almost on the verge of collapse, saw that the general was so brave and fought as if they were risking their lives.
The Yuan army's cavalry lost speed and crowded in the small gap.
The Ming army's hooks and spears pulled them off their horses, and they were attacked with swords and axes!
~~
Send three more thousand-man teams and continue the charge!
Father, our casualties are too great!
In the Beiyuan position, under the commander's command overlooking the battlefield, the young Tabin Timur said anxiously to his father Asuzha, our cavalry will die if they charge like this!
Ashi Zhali had a stern smile on his face, "Child, you don't understand!" As he said that, his riding whip pointed out the army's position in the distance. The reason why I asked the men to charge like this was to create an illusion for Zhu Di?
Tabin Timur didn’t understand, what an illusion!
I have been fighting with the Ming people for decades, and I know their tactics best. They like to entangle infantry and cavalry, use their huge numbers to drain our energy, and then use their heavy cavalry to surprise them.
Hit our side!
Or, our commander! Aszhali continued, when they attack, it is often when we invest all our troops. At that time, as long as the battle flag retreats, our sons will be in panic. The Ming army,
You can also carry out counterattacks, surround us and pursue us alive!
Chang Yuchun likes to do this, Xu Da also likes to do this, and that lunatic Lan Yu likes to do this even more! Zhu Di learned his tactics from them, and he also likes to do this!
Then if you do this, aren't you falling into their trap? Tabin Timur asked.
Ha! Ah Shi Zha smiled, I let them think we were in a trap, did you see Zhu Di's cavalry dispatched? He was waiting for us to run out of strength, so as to catch us by surprise!
As he spoke, he laughed and said, "Who knows, I have already set a trap here, waiting for them to take the bait! After eating his cavalry, I don't need to pay attention to his infantry at all. I only need to send some people to watch, and the large army will
You can drive straight in and head south to the Central Plains!
Having said this, he raised his head with wild eyes.
After passing the hill in front, we will reach Dadu! Our Dadu in Dayuan!
