These soldiers are selected from the army to be a first-class marksman, after some training, the archery is even more accurate, just shot most of the Tartar, just by the opponent's armor to block back, so that the lethality is extremely limited, but now shoot the opponent's horses, these horses have no armor protection, it is much easier to shoot than people, so the order was issued, the archers immediately made adjustments, everyone aimed at the horse's head, the horse's eyes, the horse's belly, and even some aimed at the horse's head.

"Shoot the arrows!" Jin Yixiao gave the order again.

Thousands of feather arrows shot out again, rapidly shot at the Mongolian Tartars who rushed to kill, this time the distance is close, the target is large, there is no defense, the results are excellent, thousands of people have ninety percent of the people shot the opponent's horse, many people are shot into the horse's head, in the eyes, hundreds of war horses neighed, under the pain, the front hooves are soft, fell to the ground, cold, many soldiers were thrown off the horse's back, these Mongolian soldiers, since childhood with the horse, how the horse has changed, clear, so just a sideways, He got up from the ground, then turned over and got on his horse again, and once again launched a charge against the Ming army.

Yang Zheng didn't say a word, but his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Shoot well, shoot well, don't let them suffer a little now?" ”

Only Jin Yixiao's face was a little ugly, these cavalry usually have more than one war horse, which is also one of the reasons why the Mongolian cavalry has a speed and mobility that is difficult for any army to match, the shooting just now seems to have achieved good results, but the momentum of the Mongolian cavalry did not stop because of this, but because of the death and injury of the war horse, more and more fierce outbreaks, and the speed is much faster than before, in this way, it is not so easy to shoot the horse's head and horse eye, once it can't successfully stop the Mongolian cavalry, Then the only thing that greeted them was killing.

The speed of the Mongolian cavalry is getting faster and faster, although the strategy of the Ming army to shoot people and horses first has worked for a while, but they do not understand the Mongolian feelings for horses, these Mongolian war horses, look short in stature, slow running, and the ability to overcome obstacles is far less than the high-headed horses in Europe. But the Mongolian horse is the world's most endurance horse, the requirements for the environment and food is also the lowest, whether it is in the alpine desert of Asia, or in the European plains, Mongolian horses can find food at any time, it can be said that Mongolian horses have the strongest adaptability, Mongolian horses can run long distances non-stop, and no matter the cold and heat can survive in the wild, someone once said that "Mongolian horses are the closest horses to camels".

At the same time, Mongolian horses can be used for riding and pulling heavy loads at any time, and Mongolian horses are not only used as a means of riding in the Mongolian army, but also a source of food - the Mongolian cavalry uses a large number of mares, which can provide mare's milk. This also reduced the logistical requirements of the Mongol army. Moreover, the Mongol cavalry usually had more than one war horse. This is also the reason why all the traditional good horses in China were eventually replaced by Mongolian horses.

The special advantages of Mongolian horses make the Mongolian army have the speed and mobility that are difficult for any army at that time to match, so an excellent Mongolian cavalry loves Mongolian war horses, more than their own lives, the Ming army's shooting, so that many war horses were killed and injured, undoubtedly inspired the murderous spirit of these cavalry, everyone seems to be crazy, brandishing a scimitar, biting and killing in the mouth, galloping, galloping, these cavalry are no longer horizontal columns, in order to avoid the shooting of the Ming army, they began to have horizontal formations into vertical formations, Each formation consists of five columns, each of which is a separate column.

The teams are separated by a wide distance. The first two teams are heavy cavalry, and the remaining three teams are light cavalry, so that they can reduce their goals, protect the horses, and let the light cavalry units in front be responsible for reconnaissance and cover, so that when they are getting closer and closer to the Ming army, the three columns of light cavalry in the back will advance through the gap between the first two columns of heavy cavalry, and charge the enemy after careful aiming, and then the first two columns of heavy cavalry will retreat back first, and then the light cavalry will retreat in turn.

Even if the enemy's line was solid, it would have been shaken by this pre-prepared and dense barrage of arrows. Sometimes this kind of harassment can be used to break the enemy, and there is no need for a surprise charge. If the column commander believed that the preparatory attack had completely disintegrated the enemy, then ordered the light cavalry to retreat. But if necessary, the heavy cavalry was ordered to charge.

Commands are transmitted by means of signal flags and pennants during the day and by lights or fires at night. During the battle, the various cavalry companies were close together. However, if the troops in the center have already engaged the enemy, the flanks will be flanked and circled to the enemy's flanks and backs. In such outflanking campaigns, smoke screens, dust are often used to confuse the enemy, or the cover of hillsides and valleys is used. After completing the encirclement of the enemy, the various units launched attacks from all directions, causing chaos in the enemy's formation, and finally completely crushing the enemy. This encirclement was a common method of warfare for the Mongol armies, and they were particularly adept at using stratagem to carry it out.

This effect is immediate, although these marksmen of the Ming Dynasty are one in a hundred, but with the cooperation of the other party, after a rain of arrows, the effect of shooting is much worse than before, and you can't even see the other party's casualties.

Jin Yixiao and Zhang Yi immediately became nervous, and they all looked back at Yang Zheng, only to see that Yang Zheng looked light-hearted, and he couldn't even see half a point of nervousness on his face.

At this moment, a whistling sound was heard, followed by a thunderous shout: "Kill! In the flying dust, five thousand Tartar cavalry brandished scimitars, rushing to kill like lightning, at this time the formation quickly changed, the light cavalry soldiers in front quickly retreated, and the heavy cavalry in the rear quickly stepped forward, and for a while like the tide of the Qiantang River, surging.

"What about adults?" Jin smiled and said in a deep voice.

Yang Zheng's paper fan shook lightly and shouted, "What are you panicking about? Haven't you killed it yet? ”

"Is it too late to kill?" Jin Yi said hurriedly.

Yang Zheng said: "I don't know if it's too late?" As soon as the words fell, his eyebrows raised, his eyes flashed, and he shouted with a fan in his hand: "Archers retreat?" ”

The archers in front of the array immediately retreated, revealing an open space in front of them, and when they looked again, there was something more on the ground.

Zhang Yi looked strange and said, "What is that?" ”

Jin Yi smiled and said, "You're rare and weird, aren't you, it's just a straw?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Where did this come from so many straws? ”

Jin Yi smiled and said, "What kind of eyes do you have, didn't you see those archers each holding a bundle of straw just now?" ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "Is there such a thing, I thought it was the archers who were trying to avoid the feather arrows of the Mongolian cavalry, and I felt that this was prepared by the adults?" ”

"I don't know this?" Jin Yi said with a smile.

Yang Zheng said at this time: "Who has the best archery skills in the army?" “

As soon as the words fell, a burly man walked out, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Hui, the last general Shi Heng is called Li Guang reincarnated, and he asks himself if his archery skills are not bad?" ”

Yang Zheng saw that he had a square face, a tall body, a knee-length beard, and especially his arms, nodded and said: "Very good, this official has an important thing for you to do right now, whether you can defeat the Tartar or not, it depends on your archery skills?" ”

Shi Heng said: "My lord, please rest assured, the last general will never live up to the trust of your lord?" ”

Yang Zheng said: "Very good! Do you see the tall haystack? “

Shi Heng glanced at the open space in front of him, this place was piled up by a pair of haystacks at some point, forming a barrier, although he didn't know what it was for, but he still nodded and said, "The last general can see clearly?" “

Yang Zheng said: "Look clearly, the official will let someone give you a rocket later, you just need to shoot the rocket into the haystack?" ”

"The last general understands!" Shi Heng hugged his fists.

Yang Zheng hummed, swept his eyes suddenly, and shouted, "Where is Zhang?" ”

Zhang Yong stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "The end will be!" ”

Yang Zheng said: "Let the soldiers prepare gunpowder?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "The last general understands!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Follow me!" "A group of horsemen had already come forward, and they did not see any weapons in their hands, but men with canvas bags in their hands, and rushed to the haystacks with the reins of their horses.

"Put!" Zhang gave an order.

Hundreds of canvas bags were thrown into the haystacks, creating an artificial defensive zone at once.

Jin Yi smiled and said: "What are you doing, sir, do you want to use these hundreds of canvas bags to resist the Tartar cavalry, this is a bit of a child's play?" “

Zhang Yi glanced at the canvas bag and said in a low voice: "I don't think so, you didn't smell a smell?" “

"Taste?" Jin smiled slightly, and at this time, a cold wind blew, and a faint strange smell immediately filled the air.

Jin smiled and took a sharp breath, frowned and said, "This smell is a little familiar, it seems that you have asked somewhere?" ”

Zhang Yi said angrily: "The smell of gunpowder, of course you smell it?" ”

"Gunpowder?" Jin Yi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "I understand, I understand, these Tartars have a hard time now?" “

Zhang Yi asked curiously: "What kind of suffering?" “

Jin Yi smiled and said: "You just wait to see a good show, the adults have been prepared early in the morning, this gunpowder is to deal with the Tartars?" Although these cavalry are powerful, but after all, they are flesh and blood, they are not afraid of feather arrows, they may not be afraid of gunpowder, in fact, gunpowder is the most effective weapon against the Mongolian cavalry, as long as the timing is good, it is not difficult to defeat the Tartars? ”
