Hutu, along with the remaining four hundred people, had successfully entered behind the shield.
The other Oirat people saw that they could not pull down the shields at all. These shields had wheels, and they were pulled away from the place by horses and walked forward more than fifty meters. They were already separated from the soldiers in the Beijing camp.
And those Oirat soldiers who took the opportunity to slip under the barbed wire and jump in from the shields were already fighting with the Beijing camp.
Gushi Khan and others, with five thousand guards, stood high above and watched the battle in the distance.
Although the shield array was pulled away, the barbed wire and chains were still maintained and moved forward as a whole without falling or falling over.
"Stop pulling, dismount, all go over and fight with them," the Taijis gave orders one after another.
There is no point in continuing to pull these shields. No matter how far they are pulled, they are just a barrier. Since they are separated from the infantry of the Beijing camp, there is no one to rely on the shields to defend, so they just get through.
A large number of Oirat cavalry dismounted and got under the barbed wire fence.
They shouted wildly and rushed towards the Beijing camp.
Soon the Beijing camp of more than 10,000 people and more than 20,000 Oirat dismounted infantry were fighting together.
The Oirat people discovered that they should carry heavy weapons for smashing. They seriously lacked effective armor-breaking tools. Only a few people carried iron caltrops and hammer heads on the back of their horses.
In fact, hammers are more effective against plate armor. If hammers, maces and flails are not available, metal-cast maces can also be used.
It's a pity that most of them only have iron-clad horse clubs as blunt weapons. Horse clubs are good for beating wolves, but plate armor is better.
The vast majority of people still only carry scimitars. After all, the desert Mongolia now is not as good as when they rose. At that time, many Mongolian cavalry carried small axes. Axes are very useful for breaking armor. It can be used
Throw it, or swing it to chop plate armor.
Even if it cannot be cut open with one or two blows, the surface of the plate armor will be deformed, causing fractures and internal injuries. In Europe, when dealing with the Polish, Lithuanian, and Hungarian coalition forces, we saw plate armor, but they were all taken off by the Mongols with lassoes.
Trampled to death with horseshoes.
Among them, less than 30% carry hammerheads and caltrops.
But Yang Fan's soldiers each have a fire ax, which is carried on their backs. This is a necessary tool for them to set up camp. It is very useful for cutting down trees.
Of course, it is also very useful to break armor. This thing was brought from modern times. One of its uses is to cut down security doors and break down barriers in case of fire.
At this time, the Beijing camp carried crossbows, wild goose feather knives, or fire axes. The three-eyed gunmen carried three-eyed guns as smashing weapons. The spearmen formed a group of six to form a triangle to assassinate.
Although the Oirat people had the upper hand, the Beijing camp formed a team-fighting formation. They formed a triangle, back to back, and did not give the enemy a chance to smash the back of their heads. The front was made of hard steel, and they were not afraid of anyone.
Harahuji was surprised to see that even though the Oirat cavalry dismounted and rushed in, the formation of the Beijing camp changed into a formation of three, six, or ten people in a short time. They did not panic at all.
.
They gave up their defense line, but did not break up and become confused. Instead, they reorganized into a smaller formation.
Although they lost the cover of the shield formation, they abandoned the general cannon and the Franco machine gun and formed three and three formations with pure infantry.
These formations, with a minimum of three people, form a triangle back to back. No matter where you attack from, you are facing the enemy head-on. There is no chance to attack from behind.
The Oirat people originally imagined that they were tall and powerful, and they would cause chaos to the enemy as soon as they rushed in. As long as they entered a chaotic battle, they had the advantage of fighting. They were not only strong but also flexible, they could move quickly, move quickly, and maneuver around enemies.
Attacking the enemy from behind is their specialty.
The person in front attracts the enemy's attention, takes advantage of them to fight, and attacks them from behind in the chaos. This is their invincible method. If they are confused on the battlefield, they will not care about their back. They just want to kill them in front of them.
of enemies.
But these Beijing camps are so extraordinary. They seem to have a single mind, and as soon as the array disperses, they immediately form large and small triangular arrays.
Even if there are two people left, they will immediately go back to back. They will not give anyone a chance to attack from behind.
Their plate armor is thickest at the front, especially the arc-shaped breastplate, which is three millimeters thick.
The back of the plate armor is only a little over one millimeter thick in order to reduce weight and improve maneuverability.
Yang Fan stood on the high platform and used a telescope to clearly see the hard battle ahead. At this time, the competition was endurance. Whoever can endure more will win the final victory.
The Oirat people no longer have any troops, and all their troops have been thrown into the battlefield. The 50,000 people before have returned to the camp. Now everyone is here.
In addition to Taiji's personal soldiers, there are five thousand cavalry, but those will not move. Taiji will not charge personally. There are hundreds of thousands of people in their camp, and they will not risk themselves and their soldiers.
These people may have been heroes when they were young, but at this age, they will never take the lead and fight to the death.
Zhang Shize slapped the railing and said in surprise: "The battle below the city is over."
Yang Fan looked towards the wilderness below the city. The Haixi Mongols and the Seven Tribes of Kansai finally abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
In today's hard battle, more than 10,000 of them were first burned to death, and then more than 10,000 of them were killed by 30,000 Beijing troops. By now, they were exhausted and unable to fight.
The remaining less than 20,000 people threw down their weapons, knelt down and surrendered.
If they continue to fight at this time, they will only be wiped out.
Yang Fan slapped the railing and said excitedly: "I finally got through it. I've been worried about the collapse of the Beijing camp."
Zhang Shize said: "We are sure to win. Let the regiment train go out of the city to collect the prisoners and escort them into the city. I will go down, sort out the troops under the capital city, and personally lead the team to kill more than 20,000 Oirats."
Yang Fan nodded, this Beijing camp would be handed over to Zhang Shize sooner or later, and he should be given more opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
It was more justifiable for him to take over. From the perspective of his own interests, Yang Fan hoped that Zhang Shize would take over the Beijing camp.
Other candidates are not beneficial to Yang Fan.
"Go ahead and be safe. If you can't eat, don't fight hard. Pull back first. This battle will consume a lot of Oirat people. And annihilating these 50,000 miscellaneous forces will completely isolate the Oirat people. From now on, we will only have them.
They are our opponents. No matter how we fight, they are easy to beat. We have laid the foundation, which is enough to gain a foothold here. The days are long and we have to eat one at a time. We continue to look for opportunities and gradually eat them up."
Zhang Shize nodded and said that he would not do anything recklessly. He led his soldiers down the high platform.
As a bugle blew, Zhang Shize led 1,500 cavalrymen and 10,000 regiments to assemble. Then, he opened the gate of the Wengcheng in the north city and rushed out.
