The Yuanmeng cavalry attacked one after another, trying to break through the firepower network constructed by the Han army's crossbows and javelins, but the firepower of the Han army was too fierce, and the accumulation of corpses of dead soldiers in front greatly limited the supply of reinforcements from behind.
The soldiers on board were so fast that Yuan Meng's cavalry could not rush forward.
At first, Temujin wanted to rely on the number of people to consume Qin Hao's ordnance, but gradually he also felt that something was wrong. The number of javelins thrown in the formation was conservatively estimated to be more than 150,000, but he did not control it at all.
mean.
Temujin didn't know how many javelins Qin Hao had left, but he knew he couldn't continue to waste them like this.
The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry had already paid a price of nearly ten thousand people, but they could not even get close to the Longmen Formation. They continued to use human lives to consume the material reserves in the hands of Qin Hao, who was rich and powerful. I was afraid that all the soldiers under his command would be exhausted.
We will definitely be able to find out the bottom of Qin Hao.
"What a mistake. I didn't expect Qin Hao to prepare so many javelins in advance and build such a dense firepower network."
Temujin showed a solemn look on his face, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Give me the order, give up the frontal attack, divide the troops into two groups, and attack from the left and right."
"promise."
Temujin had already seen that it was impossible to rush through with a strong frontal attack. Since this way was impassable, he had no choice but to find another way, and divided his troops into two groups to attack the Longmen Formation from the left and right, so that the Han troops in the Longmen Formation could be dispersed.
With the firepower, it can also avoid the corpses of its own people on the front road and speed up. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
The Yuanmeng cavalry had already lost nearly 10,000 troops before they even approached Longmen Formation. The frontal battlefield was littered with corpses of Yuanmeng soldiers, which was very unfavorable for the cavalry to advance.
After Temujin's order to outflank the left and right sides was conveyed, the Yuan army no longer mindlessly hit the Han army's guns, but divided into two, one led by Zhebie, and the other led by Ogedai, to outflank the left and right sides of the Longmen Formation respectively.
In the past, without the obstruction of those corpses and horse corpses, the army's advance speed increased by five points.
"Hurry, throw the javelin quickly, speed up the throw."
Xue Rengui, who was in charge of the Outer Dragon Gate Formation, changed his strategy upon seeing this and shouted to the soldiers: "The javelin is only useful if it is still out. If it is left in your hands, it will be scrap metal."
I don’t ask you to be accurate, just cast it out and finish it before Yuan Meng hits you."
When the Han soldiers heard this, they threw their javelins even harder. However, the number of millions of javelins was too much, and the number of soldiers throwing them was less than 20,000. No matter how tired they were, they would be exhausted.
After only thirty or forty rounds of throwing, he ran out of energy. In addition, Yuan Meng had already come up to kill him, and the javelin used for throwing had lost its effect.
The Yuan-Meng cavalry's attack was less than casualties, and the firepower scattered the Han army's firepower network. In the end, the Yuan-Meng cavalry broke through.
"The spearmen retreated, the spearmen stepped forward, and the shield hand held the shield, using the gun and shield combined tactic." Xue Rengui shouted.
A large number of long spearmen stepped forward quickly, either placing their spears on their shields, or thrusting their spears through the shield's holes.
Under the arms of countless spears, in an instant, the shield array outside the Longmen Formation turned into a hedgehog shell, and anyone who came close would be bruised and bloody.
Zhebie, who was charging at the front, saw this. Instead of slowing down, he looked happy. He raised his treasure bow and shot five arrows directly. These five arrows shot through five shields respectively, and then killed the five shields behind the shield.
hand.
With the death of the five sword and shield bearers, a small gap suddenly appeared in the Han army's shield array, but in an instant someone raised their shields to fill the gap.
Seeing this, Zhebie stopped firing useless arrows. Instead, he raised the bow in his hand and shouted: "It's just a dream to try to block our Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry with just a shield formation and spear formation. Soldiers, charge."
"kill……"
When they discovered that the enemy was right in front of them, Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry went crazy. Even though they knew that there was a forest of strong shields and guns in front of them, they still ran into them without hesitation.
Boom...boom...boom...
Although the spear forest was able to pierce Yuan Qi's men and horses, under Yuan Qi's constant impact, the shields of the shield array were broken, the spears of the spear forest were broken, and the soldiers holding the shields were knocked away.
The shields equipped by the Han army have been modified to imitate the special shields of the trapped camp. The shields can be connected into a whole, which can disperse the impact of the cavalry to the greatest extent.
But even so, a large number of shields were still smashed into pieces, and under this unstoppable impact, some soldiers were even knocked away more than ten meters. During the fall, they happened to land in the gun forest area, and were killed.
He was stabbed to death by one of his own men's spears.
"Hold it, hold it all..."
Xue Rengui roared, but the shield array and the spear array were already in place. How could it be possible to stop the cavalry's iron hooves with only his mortal body?
Xue Rengui seemed to have expected this, so he simply resisted for a while and then decisively decided to retreat to the second shield wall. However, the second shield wall was soon broken, and Xue Rengui then retreated to the third shield wall.
The Yuanmeng cavalry defeated two Han army shield formations with great force. When they encountered the third one, the cavalry's impact was not much left. Xue Rengui pursued the victory and used the shield formation to forcefully block the cavalry.
"kill……"
The most primitive fighting started between the infantry and the cavalry.
"Mo Daoshou attacks."
Xue Rengui personally led the Mo Dao Shou out and attacked the cavalry head-on. The extremely sharp Mo Dao and the tactics of pushing forward like a wall made Yuan Qi cry for his father and mother, leaving countless corpses along the way.
At the same time, Yang Erlang, Qin Lie, Hua Rong and Yang Zhi who were guarding the other four gates all took advantage of Yuan Qi being relieved of the impact and launched a fierce counterattack.
In an instant, all five formations of the outer dragon gate were ignited with extremely fierce fighting. Due to the small contact angle between Yuan Qi and the Han army, a large number of cavalry began to rush into the formation gate.
Temujin wanted to forcibly defeat the Longmen Formation, but with the war going on, who cares where the entry gate is? If there is a gap, just drill in.
The gaps between the five formations of the outer dragon gate, that is, the formation gates, are so wide open, there are so many Yuanqi, and there are only so many Han troops that can be faced with, so it is difficult not to squeeze into the formation gates.
This is also the most brilliant thing about Qin Hao. He allowed Yuan Meng to consciously break into the Longmen Formation. He couldn't control it even if he wanted to. After entering, he naturally couldn't get out.
Wang Meng, who was guarding one of the five inner gates, saw a large number of cavalry rushing in front of him, and immediately shouted: "Javelins."
Thousands of guns flew at once, and countless cavalrymen were nailed to death on the way.
Wen Tianxiang, Jiang Juan, Shi Long, and Mu Feng all used shield squeezing tactics, gun and shield tactics, or directly fired with crossbows to wipe out the enemy cavalry that broke into the formation.
For a time, the number of Yuanmeng cavalry began to decrease rapidly.
