In the era of cold weapons, war was restricted by many factors, but this restriction did not restrict the progress of the war. On the contrary, this restriction must be compensated with human lives. When the little devils invaded China, their favorite thing was long-range shelling, and China
In order to fight against the Japs, soldiers must shorten the distance to the battlefield. At this distance, how many soldiers fell under enemy artillery fire and machine gun fire?
The distance in the cold weapon era adhered to this law even more. Although the Mongolian army was forced to attack, it had to attack within the range of bows and arrows. This distance must be compensated with human lives, and the battle line is so long, the losses will be
It would be much bigger than an ordinary offensive battle, so both Li Quancheng and Lu Wenhuan concluded that Kublai Khan was purely testing and rehearsing this time, and would not actually start a war. In fact, Kublai Khan thought the same way.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people are sometimes nervous. Many of the famous battles in history happened unintentionally. For example, in the Jiankang Defense War, a soldier's nervousness led to the charge of a legion, and then
A full-scale charge was launched. Later generations, whether it was the history books of the Yuan Dynasty or the Mingyue Empire, wrote this battle as an "accidental meat grinder". This battle was also named because of its brutality.
Yu Shi.
As for the word "meat grinder", there are different disputes. The History of Mingyue concluded that this term came from King Mingyue, while the History of Yuan Dynasty affirmed that this time it came from the mouth of Princess Miaoyan, the Mingzhu of the grassland, but it was just a case.
There is no way to investigate the historical mystery, it is just a war of words between the two parties.
Li Quancheng strapped on his hand crossbow, held a sword on his waist, and held a long spear in front of his horse. He looked at the Song general's gesture and waved it down, and then let out a neat "Boom - Feng -"
The bow strings trembled violently, and tens of thousands of arrows made a "sharp" sound, like locusts all over the sky, and like black rain all over the sky, they quickly plunged into the Mongolian army's charging cavalry formation. The Song army's first salvo began, and the Mongolian army
Like chopped wheat, they fell one after another. The war horses neighed, or suddenly fell to the ground, or jumped up and rolled in the air, or the horses galloped forward, but the soldiers on the horses had long disappeared!
There were no stunts in any of the actions, but they were so shocking in Li Quancheng's eyes that he couldn't help but breathe quickly. However, a veteran next to him comforted him: "Commander, please don't be too nervous. Once there is a confrontation,
Just rush forward and hit the Mongolian Tatars with the iron rod. Don't worry about whether it's on the head or the body. In a cavalry confrontation, no matter where you hit it, there will be no survivors!"
Li Quancheng laughed dryly and spit out the bitterness in his mouth. The next moment, there was the unique roar of the salvo again. However, the Mongolian army was still so fierce and fearless and rushed forward. After encountering three rounds of alternating fire from the Song army, the Song army's cavalry
Charge, because the Mongolian army has already reached the shooting range, and the cavalry in the front row of the Song army did not hold shields, so if you want to escape the Mongolian army's upward fire, you must charge. Just like a ship facing a strong wind, you can only survive if you move forward.
Chance!
The shield bearers behind the cavalry built a defense to protect the archers in the rear row. The Mongolian army's cavalry shooting and the Song army's rotational shooting intertwined an arrow net in the air. Li Quancheng and other cavalry were walking through the arrow net. It can be said that the Song army had the upper hand in this battle.
In order to get an advantage, the Mongolian army lost no less than 30,000 in the first three rounds of volleys. But on the other hand, 30,000 cavalry is nothing compared to the 500,000 Mongolian army, so the Song army will definitely
Falling into a hard fight.
The water battles in the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River also kicked off after the land battles. The Song army's navy was stronger than the Mongolian army. Similarly, the Mongolian army had more warships than the Song army. Compared with the cavalry on the road, the water battles were the first to burn.
Where the fire started, kerosene, rockets and gunpowder, the most primitive but still the most effective means of attack, were widely used in water battles. Because of the existence of the Mohists, the Song Army's long-range water battle attacks were stronger than those of the Mongolian army.
Although there were many, the intensity of the battle between the two sides still made Lu Wenhuan and Sun Jiangong’s faces turn black on the tower!…
Yang Yue'er had just returned to her residence and before she had changed her clothes, she heard the loud shouts of killing. At this moment, she happened to meet Yue Yin, Bai Yi and others hurried away on horseback. Yang Yue'er was stunned and said to himself: "Don't tell me that we can't fight today.
Well, why did the war start?"
Suddenly, Yang Yue'er's expression changed, and she cursed with a cry in her eyes: "Li Quancheng, you bullied me again!"
Yang Yue'er stamped her feet, turned around and ran to the edge of the city, but she never noticed Xiao Lengxin behind her. Hearing Yang Yue'er's slightly ambiguous curse, a look of surprise flashed in Xiao Lengxin's eyes, and he suddenly sighed softly and chased after her.
Go up.
Yang Yue'er went up to the city tower and saw the melee between the two armies outside the city. She was so shocked that her face turned pale. After a long time, she came back to her senses and glanced at the people in the city, but did not see Li Quancheng. Yang Yue'er was stunned and said in surprise: "Where is Mr. Li?"
?”
Lu Wenhuan's face turned dark when Yang Yue'er asked, and he didn't say anything for a long time. He just handed the clairvoyant eye to Yang Yue'er in a daze, and helplessly pointed to the chaos in the south direction. Yang Yue'er was so frightened that his hands shook, and he quickly grabbed the clairvoyant eye, and then
She saw Li Quancheng, wearing an ordinary sergeant's leather armor, wielding a long stick and smashing into the Mongolian army!
Li Quancheng himself didn't know why he ran into the rebel army again. He only felt his horse jolt a few times, and then the blood of a sergeant next to him spurted onto his face. Only then did he wake up and see a strong Mongolian man.
The scimitar cut into the shoulder of the sergeant next to him. Li Quancheng subconsciously stabbed the spear. The tip of the spear seemed to have penetrated into the mud in the water. With a "chirp", it penetrated the chest of the Mongolian soldier opposite. He looked at
When the guy fell down, Li Quancheng realized that the hand-to-hand combat had begun!
The spear was the most widely used long stabbing weapon on the ancient battlefield. The cavalry used large spears, while the infantry used small spears. Although it was widely used, it was the most difficult weapon to practice, especially the cavalry's large spear, which was also long.
It was so heavy that it was difficult to use both hands evenly. Fortunately, when he arrived in Jiankang City, apart from teasing and teasing Yang Yue'er in his spare time, Li Quancheng had half an hour of lessons with his brother-in-law and sworn brother from the Mo family.
By the way, I quarreled with my sister-in-law, taking into account fairness, and spent most of my time learning marksmanship from Yue Yin, and learning the use of internal strength from my senior brothers and sisters.
However, Li Quancheng still did not know how to use his internal strength during this period. At the same time, he only learned how to draw and shake the gun. He could not even handle the most basic steps of blocking, holding, and stabbing with the gun.
After Yue Yin's repeated attacks, this guy will use the gun as a stick to smash around.
And this first Mongolian soldier who became the target of Li Quancheng's gun turned out to be the test subject for Li Quancheng's "breakthrough" under Li Quancheng's stab without adding any purpose or ideological baggage. Li Quancheng discovered that the "river water" in his body
"Swarmed into the body of the gun, revealing the tip of the gun, and then the tip of the gun penetrated into the ribs and chest without any hindrance!
Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, he could feel that he had finally reached the point where he could pour his inner energy into the tip of the spear!
Li Quancheng's confidence increased greatly. He shook the spear in his hand, jerked it out, and then stabbed another Mongolian soldier who was riding his horse and bumped into him. Li Quancheng stabbed, smashed, slapped, and chopped like Cheng Yaojin's three-blade axe.
He used spears as sticks, knives and other weapons, whatever was convenient for him. Anyway, these guys were very powerful. Gradually, more and more Song troops gathered around him, dragging a long dragon behind him, winding and circling, but he was actually
A vacuum zone was created out of thin air!
After Yang Yue'er saw it, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect that he knew the formation!"
Everyone was stunned. Lu Wenhuan, Yue Yin and other generals all took the clairvoyant that was brought to them. At first glance, the muscles on the faces of these experts were all trembling. Only Yue Yin was wearing a mask and could not see it.
After hearing the cold snort and a faint "idiot", Yang Yue'er realized that she might have seen it wrong!…
Lu Wenhuan looked at Sun Jiangong and said: "Brother Jiangong, we have to retreat. If the melee continues, our results will become smaller and smaller!"
"Okay! Follow Brother Wen Huan's orders in everything!"
Sun Jiangong did not hesitate to place the command on Lu Wenhuan's head. The drums for withdrawal rang out in the Song army. The cavalry began to change direction, shot at their feet with hand crossbows, and began to rush back. As long as they distanced themselves from the Mongolian army, they would be defeated.
Allow archers to cover.
Suddenly, Yang Yue'er exclaimed, "Why is Li Quancheng still rushing in?"
"Yeah - the long snake formation is broken!"
Yang Yue'er was doing the live broadcast. Although he was not professional, his surprise was quite atmospheric. Yue Yin put down his clairvoyance and looked at Lu Wenhuan and said: "General Lu, your marksmanship is a bit messed up. I will go and deal with him!"
Without saying a word, Lu Wenhuan handed the military talisman to Yue Yin, and Yue Yin went down to the city to lead his troops.
Li Quancheng appeared to be on the verge of killing, but in fact he was extremely nervous. When this guy was nervous, he would pinch his legs, and his horse would run forward as soon as he was pinched. Gradually, there were only one or two hundred people left around Li Quancheng, and Song beside him
Jun shouted: "Sir, we can't go any further!"
Li Quancheng knocked away a Mongolian soldier with one shot, knocked over both men and horses with a stick, and finally caught Kong and said, "I want to retreat too, but this horse keeps charging forward!"
While he was talking, a Mongolian soldier attacked from the side with a sword. Li Quancheng had no time to fire back, so he drew out his sword with his backhand and slashed the Mongolian soldier's neck with his sword. He really fulfilled the principle of "every inch is longer and every inch is stronger"!
But behind the Mongolian soldier, there were about a dozen horsemen rushing up, brandishing scimitars. Li Quancheng twisted his waist and prepared to smash with wheels and sticks, but the horse rushed forward and almost caused him to fall off the horse. Li Quancheng was so anxious that he fell off the horse.
Swinging the long sword in his hand, he stretched out his hand to hold the reins of the horse. The war horse neighed and made a 90-degree turn. Li Quancheng swiped his spear smoothly and slit the throats of the four or five unlucky ones on the side.
But the war horse was also a blessing in disguise... it changed direction!
