Chapter 138: The Great Battle of the Mongol Cavalry
Huang Qiang stood there, waiting for Huang Rong to continue.
Sure enough, it didn't take long. Huang Rong said: "It's not impossible to do things, but you have to be famous, right?"
Huang Qiang then thought that in ancient times, fame was very important. You actually forgot about it?
So, he asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think can make your teacher famous?"
"First, the court is a traitor, the people are not happy, and the head of the Qianqian rises up! Second, the emperor is mediocre and loses the way of heaven!" Huang Rong said carefully.
"Well, I see!" Huang Qiang agreed, clasped his hands to his chest, and began to think!
Huang Rong took Guo Xiang's little doll and walked straight away.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Huang Qiang never thought of how to successfully move things under the condition of winning the hearts of the people!
In the hall of the town guard mansion, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Qiang, and several elders of the beggar gang Lu Youheel gathered together.
"Elder Lu, is the news accurate?" Huang Rong asked.
"Back to the gang leader, the Mongolian Great Khan Meng Ge personally led the team, and the disciples of the beggar gang came to report that it was only twenty miles away from Xiangyang City. Lu Youjiao got up and clenched his fists and said.
"It's a good time!" Huang Qiang clapped his palms, and then said: "Brother Guo, now that those 20,000 Song soldiers have completely mastered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, please let me take them to kill the Mongols!"
"Hehe, okay! Since Brother Huang Xian is willing to go, you can go and lead the troops out of the city!" Guo Jing said with a smile.
A few days ago, he also personally went to comprehend the power of the Eight Golden Lock Arrays, and with his innate late stage of force, he couldn't get any benefits after entering the formation, and the phenomenon was still alive. So he was still very relieved that Huang Qiang led the troops out of the city!
After Huang Qiang got the order, he came to the barracks and ordered 15,000 people to go out of the city with him to meet the Mongols, leaving 5,000 people to defend the city.
More than half an hour later, Huang Qiang led 15,000 Song soldiers to the outside of the city, and at this time, the forward cavalry of the Mongol soldiers was already waiting in line five miles away!
Huang Qiang immediately ordered the Song soldiers to set up an eight-gate golden lock array.
At this time, each of the eight golden lock arrays was divided into eight small formations around the middle array, with a total of eight eight and sixty-four square formations.
Huang Qiangli and the array, the Golden Drum Banner, and the Heaven and Earth Wind and Cloud Quartet divided into soldiers and horses directly under him. The four formations are divided into archers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and hook and sickle soldiers!
The periphery is divided into sixteen small phalanxes in each direction, and each direction is divided into sixty-four formations, which are also composed of archers, sword and shield men, pikemen, and hook and sickle soldiers. Interlocking and endless!
Behind the large array, there were fourteen small ranger formations shuttling back and forth, forming eighty-eight small formations, which caressed each other. As long as you don't enter through the door of life, those who break into the battle will definitely be killed or injured!
At the same time that the Song soldiers set up the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the Chinese army led by the Mongol Great Khan also arrived.
The two sides were three miles apart, and no one had any intention of attacking!
On the city tower, Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked down nervously, fifteen thousand against two hundred thousand! Is it to win more with less, or is this fifteen thousand Song soldiers pressed into powder? Everyone has no bottom in their hearts, so their faces are a little dignified!
On the side of the Mongols, Meng Ge saw that the Song soldiers actually dared to go out of the city to fight his iron cavalry, and his heart showed a trace of disdain! And his opponent, Anda, who was dragged by his father, felt even more deeply ashamed! He had to kill Guo Jing in order to wash away the shame. So for this southern expedition, he preferred Xiangyang City.
Meng Ge said to the generals beside him: "Who is going to fight me for the first battle?"
In the formation, a prancing horse immediately came out and roared: "Great Khan, Kuoduan is willing to take Xiangyang City for the Great Khan!"
"Okay, it's not my eldest uncle's son of Wokotai, good brother, if you can take Xiangyang City, I will make you the marshal of the capital!" Meng Ge praised.
"Hahaha, Kuoduan has thanked the Great Khan first!" After saying that, he led his men and horses and rushed towards the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array set up by Huang Qiang.
Huang Qiang, who was in the middle of the big array, sneered in his heart when he saw the sudden thousands of men and horses in the Mongol army formation! Waving the flag, he shouted: "Change the formation!"
The 15,000 Song soldiers immediately began to operate according to the content of the training. The sword and shield hand is in front, the pikemen are behind, and sharp spears peek out of the shield, shining with a terrifying chill!
The archers behind the shields pulled their bowstrings one after another, aimed at the cavalry rushing over, and did not fire!
The hook and sickle even hid behind a large shield, waiting for an opportunity to move.
The Mongol cavalry began to come slowly, renewing their horsepower. When he was almost two miles away, he began to gallop quickly.
Soon, thousands of Mongol cavalry rushed into the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
Huang Qiang waved the flag, and the big array immediately started to operate. Eighty-eight small phalanxes alternated with each other, the archers released arrows one after another, shooting the Mongolian cavalry shuttling in the formation, the sword and shield men protected the pikemen behind them, spinning like gears, one by one spears, stabbing up and down, the Mongolian cavalry either the rider was stabbed to death, or the horse was stabbed to the ground.
The hook and sickle also poked out their hook and sickle spears, and the horses of the Mongolian cavalry were hooked off one after another, fell to the ground, and were trampled into pulp by the cavalry behind.
In less than half an hour, thousands of Mongolian cavalry led by Kuoduan were strangled by the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Even the famous Kuduan couldn't escape!
The people watching the battle on the city wall and the soldiers defending the city immediately shouted in unison when they saw this scene!
"Hooray, hooray!..............."
On the Mongols' side, however, it was so quiet that even the horses on which they sat did not dare to make any sound, and for a moment fell into a strange place!
"What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on at Kuoduan?" Meng Ge suddenly roared with an ugly face.
The group of Mongolian generals behind him also looked at each other one by one, not knowing how to answer, let alone understanding what was happening ahead?
At this time, there were bursts of demonstrations in the Song soldiers' camp!
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"Hey...... Hey.................."
Meng Ge's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Who is going to give Song Bing some color and take a look, when he comes back, I will make him a Baduer and lead the head of ten thousand households!"
A person slowly walked out of the team, hugged Meng Ge and said: "Great Khan, I see that the military formation put out by the Song people today seems to be a formation?
At this time, one of the people in the team urged the horse to come out, and shouted in a loud voice: "Boyan, if you are as timid as a mouse, step aside, don't disturb the morale of the army here! ”
"This ............" Boyan was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Meng Ge's voice.
"Good!. Dahai Xuanpu, as long as you can break the Song soldiers, I will immediately crown you as the eighth capital, the head of ten thousand households!"
"Thank you, Great Khan!haha......... Boys, come ......... me."
Da Hai Pu laughed, beckoned to his subordinates behind him, and then took the lead and rushed out.
Boyan's mouth opened, but he never said anything. Silly returned to his team.
Huang Qiangli and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array saw that someone was coming to send him to death, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a touch of amplitude! With a wave of the command flag in his hand, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was activated.
It's too late, it's too fast! Dahai Xunpu had already led people to rush to the front of the big formation three hundred paces, and the archers in the formation were ready to release their arrows in advance this time. One by one, the bow and arrow are bent and fired at any time.
At this time, the divine arm bows around Huang Qiang began to release arrows.
The Divine Arm Bow has a long range. During the Xining period, Li Ding, a member of the party (one said to be Li Hong), made a "divine arm bow" for the Song army, "with a kind of tough wood" as the body, sandalwood as the bow, iron as the head of the Dengzi spear, copper as the horse's face and teeth, and hemp rope and silk as the string. The body of the bow is three feet two inches, the string length is two feet and five inches, the arrow feather is several inches long, shoots more than 340 steps, and enters the elm wood half-pipe. "The effective firing range is more than 340 paces and about 400 meters away.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
A field of arrows like locusts shot at the Mongol cavalry like a torrential rain,
"Ahhh......h
A scream suddenly rang out among the Mongolian cavalry!
Mongol cavalry were generally light cavalry with only one piece of leather armor on their bodies, or simply cloth clothing. Where can you block the attack of so many arrows.
The 5,000 cavalry who followed Dahai to charge the battle suffered at least 1,000 casualties under a few waves of arrows.
But just as the Mongolian cavalry rushed to eighty paces away, Da Hai Xupu burst into a shout: "Guerrilla!"
The Mongolian cavalry who rushed over immediately no longer rushed straight forward, but controlled the horses, and began to circle around the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, and these Mongolian cavalrymen took off their big bows one by one and began to swim and shoot arrows.
Huang Qiang immediately waved the order flag, the military formation changed again, the sword and shield hands took wrong steps, raised the big shield in their hands, and formed a phalanx like a turtle shell, and the gap between each shield was left for the archer to have a small archery mouth.
"Jingle ........."
The Mongols' arrows rained down on their shields.
However, the damage to the Song soldiers was extremely small, only a few unlucky eggs were shot by feather arrows that passed through the gap, but none of them were fatal.
The Song soldiers and archers under the shields also began to counterattack, shooting feather arrows in their hands one after another.
For a while, the two sides began a wave of bow and arrow shooting!
The Song soldiers had shields to resist, and the casualties were negligible! But the Mongols were miserable, and there was no means to stop the bows and arrows, so they could only be shot off their horses one by one, and then trampled into pulp by their companions.
In fact, the Mongolian cavalry was best at flying kites and riding and shooting, rather than roaming around cities or military formations as they do today.
Powerful Mongolian bow and arrow, the biggest advantage of the Mongolian cavalry is the bow and arrow they are equipped with, the Mongols have the longest range in the world at that time, the most lethal compound bow, the pull force is 50 kg to 75 kg, the range can reach 200 meters, and the Mongolian cavalry has mastered the technique of archery in the retreat, which can allow the Mongolian cavalry to always maintain a reasonable attack distance from the enemy.
And now in the face of Huang Qiang's turtle shell formation, the Mongolian cavalry seemed to be a fox encountering a hedgehog, and they were a little at a loss.
After the divine arm bow in the large array sent out several waves of arrow rain again, and after harvesting thousands of Mongolian cavalry, Dahai Xunpu couldn't sit still!
He decided to use the impact of the cavalry to try to open the gap in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array.
And so. He shouted to his subordinates again, formed a cone formation, and rushed towards the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
Ask for everything!
