Chapter 240: The Golden Horde's Army

Early the next morning, the Chinese army's big tent was raised to count troops.

The sortie plan drawn up by Wu Youliang overnight was divided into two parts.

The first part is a plan to defeat the 100,000 Golden Horde army under Sunset Mountain.

The plan for this part was to attack with three battalions of infantry first, attack the enemy's large camp under Sunset Mountain, and then use two battalions of cavalry to intersperse left and right to crush the enemy.

And the Engineer Battalion, with 5,000 musketeers, entered the Sunset Hill defense line and joined the attack if necessary.

After the defeat of the enemy forces, the second part of the battle plan was implemented.

That is, Wu Youliang took the Taoshan Battalion and the Taogan Battalion back to Sunset Mountain to hold on, while I led the Taozhi Battalion, the Escort Battalion, the Scout Battalion and the Engineer Battalion, and the two battalions of cavalry to attack and advance all the way, and after opening a road, the 3,000 artillery and 100 artillery pieces of the Engineer Battalion were sent into Qingfeng City.

In the end, the whole army reflexively returned to Sunset Mountain.

The attack was set at noon.

At noon, the battalions marched down the hundreds of trails of Sunset Mountain.

The generals of the other side were confident, and did not attack when our army was not firmly established, but arranged a position two miles from the foot of the mountain and waited for us to go.

When they were a few hundred meters away from the other side, a burst of bows and arrows were shot in the opponent's formation, and the Taozhi battalion followed closely and also shot a wave of feather arrows, measuring the distance between the two sides, which can be regarded as binding the position of our army.

The performance of the three battalions was still very good, and they formed a formation at the first time, and were divided into three armies: left, center, and right. The escort battalion and the scout battalion guarded the military headquarters to form the central army, while the two battalions of the horse army were behind the two flanks of the Chinese army.

I rode a horse and stood in the middle army, looking at the tight military formation of the Golden Horde on the opposite side, and there were actually 30,000 people in front of me, a water cavalry. In the rear, there were several infantry troops of 10,000 people.

Wu Youliang said with a smile: "General, the industrial camp is descending the mountain. ”

I nodded, the order given to Huang Youliang when attacking was to depend on the situation, this guy went down the mountain so quickly, it seems that he also saw that the opponent's army formation was tight, so he decided to go down the mountain to help first.

At this time, a horse ran out of the opponent's camp, and immediately carried a strong man decorated with a grassland, dancing a mace, to the place where we could be stoned away, and shouted: "The Taoyuan army on the other side, I am the chief of the imperial guard of the Golden Horde's army, Aturu, who dares to come and fight me?"

I asked a little strangely, "Why is there such a war in the Three Realms?"

Chen Qinglong said with a smile: "He is promoting his bravery and encouraging his own morale, but he is not stupid, and he knows how to stay in a stone's throw away." ”

I smiled and shook my head and said, "He's stupid. ”

Wu Youliang also said: "What the general said is true. ”

Then he took out the iron-tired bow behind the horse, bent the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Arturu.

I looked at Wu Youliang in some surprise, and the hand that was stretched out into my arms retracted.

Yes, I originally wanted to take out the pistol and kill this stupid fork directly, but I forgot that Wu Youliang had a good archery skill.

This is the second time I have seen Wu Youliang's archery, the first time was in Fengqi Village, Wu Youliang used a trick to press Li Jianxiong's son, the silver helmet boy Li Mingzhu under the horse, at that time I felt that Wu Youliang was not from the grassland, and he was an expert in playing bows and arrows.

This time, it was the real shooting.

I saw that this arrow was like a rainbow flying out of the sky, and like a meteor catching the moon, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the face of Aturu.

Aturu was so shocked that before he could react, the arrow "belled" and hit him in the forehead.

As Aturu fell backwards, a loud cheer rang out from the infantry camp.

Two fast horses galloped out of the opposing formation, and one flew to Aturu's side, stooped him up from the ground, broke the arrow from his forehead with one hand, and then beat him horizontally on his horse, and turned his horse away.

The other man ran to Aturu's horse, reached out and took hold of the reins, and led the horse back to the camp.

Chen Qinglong and I glanced at each other, and there was horror in our eyes.

The two people who appeared in the back were very skilled, and the whole set of movements was like flowing water, and they looked like they grew up on horseback.

Wu Youliang saw that my face was a little gloomy, but he said: "General, the guards of the Golden Horde Army are all selected from thousands of tribes in the grassland, and their horse skills are all first-class. ”

I nodded, if the 500,000 men and horses of the Golden Horde are all like this, then stop this battle and surrender directly.

Because in the age of cold weapons, no army could defeat an army composed of cavalry of this skill in the field. The ancient Mongolian cavalry in the human world is a model of this kind of cavalry.

After a while, I saw a team of 10,000 horses in front of the opponent and began to slowly run.

I smiled, sure enough, it was the same as the steppe cavalry battle routine in the human world, which was nothing more than cavalry impact, and then used the "kite-flying" style of fighting to grind the enemy to death little by little.

Wu Youliang also frowned, it seemed that he was very familiar with this method of warfare.

In the era of cold weapons, in the vast steppe, the cavalry fought against the infantry, and many times it was a one-sided slaughter, because the infantry who lacked protection could not adapt to the speed and rhythm of the opponent's attack.

I smiled and said to Chen Qinglong, "Let's start." ”

I saw that among the three infantry barracks in front, the Taozhi battalion in the center took out shields and spears, and was ready to resist the impact.

On both sides of the Momoyama and Momogan camps, the first three rows of sergeants went to the rear from both sides, revealing a row of Hessesen guns, fifty on one side, exactly one hundred cannons.

The fire tunnel had already been lit, and only the sound of "boom", "boom", "boom" was heard, and then a large number of flowering bombs exploded in the horse team of the Golden Horde, which had already reached the highest speed.

I didn't expect this primitive front-loading tunnel gun to be so loud, and there was even an echo in my ears.

And even the war horses of the two battalions of Feisha and Feihu, which had already been baptized by artillery training in the large camp under the sunset mountain, had some commotion.

At present, there is a white smoke in our field of vision, and we can only hear the neighing of horses in the battlefield, and the hysterical screams that we can't hear what they are shouting.

Wu Youliang and Chen Qinglong stared at the battlefield a little nervously, but I looked at the war horses that kept rushing out of the smoke and rushing towards the Taozhi camp but running to both sides in shields and spears, and laughed happily, because there were no knights on the war horses.

A few knights who barely rushed out on horseback were named one by one by the archers of the third battalion, and one by one they fell off their horses.

Yes, three thousand artillery battalions of the Engineer Army, and one hundred artillery pieces, followed the actions of the two battalions of Momoyama and Momogan.

The reason why this was done was specifically to deal with the cavalry assault of the Golden Horde.

Just a few minutes later, the white smoke cleared, and everyone looked at the battlefield with some astonishment.

The ground was littered with horses running wildly, and the Golden Horde soldiers who had been thrown to the ground and trampled into flesh.

"A team of 10,000 people, that's it?"

Chen Qinglong muttered to himself in shock, turning his head to look at Wu Youliang, but he was also shocked.

I smiled and said, "It's only a hundred shells, and I can do it." ”

I looked at the Golden Horde on the opposite side, and saw that the cavalry in front of me had jumped off their horses and were holding on to their horses, but occasionally there were still horses rushing out of the army and galloping wildly in front of the Golden Horde.

Wu Youliang was the first to come back to his senses and said to me, "General......"

I nodded and said, "If you don't attack now, when will you wait?"

Wu Youliang immediately pulled up the reins and rode his horse forward. After running a few steps, he took the red flag from the sergeant of the guard battalion standing in front of him, and continued to gallop forward, shouting as he ran: "The general has an order, attack, attack, attack." ”

The eighteen cowhide drums set up behind the guard battalion also sounded "all".

With the sound of the big drum, the whole army moved, and the three battalions of infantry marched in neat steps, holding weapons, and shouted in a low voice as they walked: "Attack, attack, attack......"

This is the first time I have seen the infantry group charge in the era of cold weapons.

At the front were shield men with large shields, and in the second row were pikemen, and on either side of each pikeman was a sword and shield soldier.

And when they were there, they were rows of archers.

In the first 100 meters, the big shield soldier also held a large shield to defend against the feathered arrows flying out of the opponent's formation.

After a hundred meters, the big shield turned to the back row and began to help the archers defend.

The archers, on the other hand, did not start shooting until a hundred meters.

Dense feathered arrows pierced into the opponent's army formation like locusts, and shot the Golden Horde cavalry, who were still trying to control the horses, to the ground with horse nails.

The three 10,000-strong formations were almost down, revealing seven neatly arranged infantry formations behind them.

"The general on the other side seems to be a novice. Chen Qinglong said contemptuously.

"I shouldn't be a novice, but I haven't used the infantry army. Wu Youliang, who returned to me, stared ahead and said.

I smiled and asked, "It stands to reason that there is no shortage of horses on the grassland, how can the Golden Horde have an infantry army?"

Wu Youliang's face was a little ugly and said: "The general doesn't know, across the grassland, there is a vast dark forest, and many tribes living at the edge of the forest are not nomadic tribes, but mainly farming, just like this fairyland." ”

I nodded and said, "It seems that this Golden Horde has really conquered the entire grassland!"

As he spoke, the infantry battalion had already rushed into the other party's chaotic horse formation, and began to mend the knights who had not yet died.

At this time, the opponent's infantry army of 10,000 people finally moved.

The seven infantry troops of 10,000 people moved forward together, also walking in rhythm.

At this time, Wu Youliang said to the herald on the side: "Green flag." ”

Eighteen green flags waved, followed by the beat of the war drums into small broken drums.

I saw that the three battalions of infantry in front of me retreated back together, until they retreated behind the big shield, and formed a formation again, but in the middle of the three 10,000-strong formations, leaving a passage about fifty meters wide.

And the industrial barracks finally moved forward.

I smiled and said to Chen Qinglong and Wu Youliang: "Let's go, let's go to the front and see how the hot* weapon army slaughters the cold weapon army." ”
