According to the usual style of the Mongols, when the two armies meet, the light cavalry gallops back and forth, and at least three or five rounds of arrows must be fired. If the enemy is strong, the harassment will last for dozens of rounds. Unless the enemy shows signs of wavering, the harassment will not occur.
Stop, and no matter how strong the enemy is, it will be difficult to persist under the never-ending rain of arrows.
Such tactics require extraordinary tenacity, patience and tactical literacy. These three items are precisely the Mongolian herding and hunting skills that have been practiced thousands of times since childhood. This tactic has become the greatest reliance on the Mongolian army to be invincible.
.
However, the situation at this time was unusual and could not tolerate repeated attacks by the Mongols.
The main force of the Mongolian army was in hiding, waiting for the Zhou army to rush south for rescue. The partial division led by Tuo Lei swept through many prefectures in the Central Plains in a short period of time, and was at a critical point where the troops were insufficient for utilization.
In the past two years, the morale of the Han people has been very high. In the first few days, the soldiers and civilians in various places were frightened and confused, but as time passed, they were no longer docile and obedient. There were some hard-core people everywhere, even if they were attacked with axes and axes.
There are also endless riots. Starting yesterday, Haner riots in various places have become more and more intense.
The Mongols were rushing around to suppress them, and they were in a hurry. They had already threatened the surrenderers to attack several military strongholds outside Guide Mansion. The surrenderers fought hard, but the numbers were too small, and there were no trustworthy men left.
?If the new rangers respond to the defenders, surrender and then counterattack, is that okay?
Therefore, the limited force must exert the greatest effect in the shortest time, just like killing wolves on the grassland. It must be killed fiercely and ruthlessly. If you encounter a group, you will kill a group. Not only will the wolves not be able to escape, but they will even get together.
Even if there is no opportunity, you must also shock others with your victory!
Due to this consideration, the Mongolian army acted extremely fiercely. A large number of heavy cavalry were placed directly at the front, looking for fighter planes to destroy the enemy in one go.
Before the Western Expedition, only the Qixue Army directly under the Great Khan had cavalry wearing iron armor and charging into battle. Most of Qianhu's subordinates, the so-called heavy cavalry, mostly wore leather armor, and a small amount of armor was distributed to elites. Leather armor was only
It is made of cowhide cut into palm-width width and fastened every three to four layers. It has extremely high defense ability against arrows, but it is difficult to resist spears and halberds.
Today's Mongolian army is much more generous than at that time. An ordinary Qianhu army can have hundreds of people wearing sophisticated heavy armor from various sources. Among these hundreds of people, in addition to the Mongols, there are also illustrious people from the Western Regions.
Who can match the famous warrior's vigorous attack?
The cavalry on the opposite side obviously wanted to give it a try. They accelerated and rushed forward!
Just give it a try, who wouldn’t want to make a difference!
When the enemy cavalry suddenly accelerated their charge, the few warriors from the Western Regions at the forefront of the Mongolian army were not surprised but overjoyed, shouting for kill and moving forward.
The warriors from the Western Regions who were added to the Mongolian army generally retained their original organizational structure in order to ensure satisfactory command. For example, these warriors from the Western Regions were all from the Sihari Kingdom in the Qihe area, and they were a father and son.
The father was called King Shah, but he was not actually a king. Because of his reputation for bravery, his two sons were also strong and brave. They once fought against the Mongolian army in the city of Husi'oruduo.
Although he was defeated and surrendered, his fierce performance was praised by the Mongolian nobles, and he survived when hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered.
Just surviving is of course not enough. Now that you have become a member of the conquerors, you must kill the enemy and win wealth. Seeing the enemy cavalry approaching, Sha Dalang, the most muscular man, brandished his sword and charged head-on with the roar of the wind.
cut.
Following Sha Erlang's movements, his burnt-yellow beard and hair stood out, and his bloody mouth opened wide. He looked like a human bear about to pounce on food. Even the mount under his crotch looked inconspicuous. In comparison, Yang Miaozhen was thin and small.
I'm afraid his arm circumference is less than 30% of Sha Dalang's.
There was a huge difference in physique, and their physical strength was far from comparable. Sha Dalang's heavy sword fell and hit the tip of Yang Miaozhen's spear. The force of the sword was too heavy, and the spear could not block it at all, and it was blown away.
The broadsword continued to slash almost without pause, grazing the tip of Yang Miaozhen's nose and almost cutting his head in half.
This enemy moves very quickly!
Sha Dalang didn't care about regrets, roared and exerted his strength, and was about to swing the knife back.
Before the Mongols invaded Hezhong in the Western Region, many local forces and tribes were intertwined and constantly attacking each other. Sha Dalang's martial arts came from countless times of fighting and training. It was absolutely nothing fancy, but very effective. At this time, the two horses
The two men passed each other in the wrong stirrup, and he only needed to strike back with his hand, which was enough to chop the enemy into two pieces at waist level.
At this moment, Yang Miaozhen turned her face and smiled slightly.
This knight is dusty, but his smile is beautiful. He doesn't look as ferocious as when fighting, but why is he smiling?
The distance between the two cars was very close. Sha Dalang could see clearly and suddenly changed his mind.
Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and the scenery in front of him turned blood red. The next moment, his vision became pitch black again.
It turned out that although Yang Miaozhen's spear was broken open, she did not lose control. The barrel of the gun rotated in circles between her stretched out fingers without any sluggishness. When the head of the gun returned to the back with the help of her pocket, the tip of the tail of the gun was lifted.
But it moved to the front like a spiritual snake.
There was no need for force or any thrusting movements. The speed of the two horses' collision naturally made the spear move as fast as lightning and penetrate Sha Dalang's throat.
The moment the gun flew up, Sha Erlang already felt that something was wrong. But the close distance between him and his brother was like a chasm in the sky at this moment. He could only look at his brother's strong body lying on the back of the horse with his eyes wide open, carrying that element with him.
The tassel trembled endlessly.
Sha Erlang shouted angrily, and King Sha followed closely to the left and right. Sha Erlang raised his mace and started to strike. Unexpectedly, Yang Miaozhen turned over his hand, pulled out his spear, and threw it violently.
The spear passed in front of him in an arc, and the spear tassel exploded into thousands of strands, obscuring his sight. Sha Erlang subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it. The strong wind in his ears had not subsided. King Sha next to him screamed and was stabbed in the chest by the spear.
The whole person fell to the ground with his hands and feet tied up.
In the blink of an eye, his father and brother were all dead, and Sha Erlang was furious. He raised the mace straight up in the air, not caring about the safety of his own family, and just wanted to use all his strength to beat the thin knight in front of him into a meat pie.
But several knights behind Yang Miaozhen had also arrived. Within a distance of only two feet, they were able to calmly draw their bows and fire heavy arrows, and immediately shot Sha Erlang into a hedgehog.
These knights were the most elite remnants of the Red Coat Army. They had fought in Shandong, Northern Xinjiang, and various parts of the Central Plains. Until they settled in Huaidong, they never left the Nanshan Mountains.
They responded to local requests to suppress bandits, and often served as long-distance escorts for caravans, fighting against numerous bandits. They always maintained the status of professional soldiers and were unique in the Song Dynasty. Because of their abundant financial resources and extremely high training level, they
His ability in small-scale cavalry conflicts has become extremely proficient, and he is no less capable than the Mongolian army.
The knights from the Western Regions did not expect to encounter such a strong opponent and immediately suffered a heavy loss.
Yang Miaozhen withdrew his spear from King Shah's body and continued to charge without stopping.
Her skill with the pear blossom spear was taught by a stranger, and she is said to be unparalleled in the world, and it is true. But when she saw the spear dancing, the men and horses were covered with snow, and silver light shone everywhere. Wherever she went, the blood of the enemy's horse surged out like a fountain. Although it was only
Dozens of cavalry marched horizontally, but hundreds of Mongolian troops could not stop them at all!
The charge of such brave generals is the best way to boost morale. The knights who caught up with the rear team were already exhausted after a long journey. At this time, they all fought bravely, roared forward, and suddenly got involved with the Mongolian cavalry.
Zheng Rui, who was in the military fort in the distance, had been staring at the battlefield. At this time, he jumped up: "Everyone who can still move, rush to me! Rush to me!"
After a while, rapid drumbeats also sounded from the direction of Fucheng.
After Guo Alin led his troops out of the city, the generals who stayed behind were very cautious, but being cautious did not mean missing an opportunity. At this moment, the Mongolian army was attacked in the rear, but it could not respond effectively, and the weakness of its troops was fully exposed. The garrison immediately opened the city and attacked!
