Chapter Ninety-Eight: Winning with Righteousness and Oddity
Tartar suddenly appeared this time, and he also knew that there were reinforcements from the Ming army on the opposite side, and he also knew that it would take time for the Ming army reinforcements to arrive.
They thought that it would not take a pillar of incense to defeat the Ming army on the opposite side by means of a cavalry assault.
It is completely possible to retreat when the Ming army arrives.
At such a time and place, fight a battle that is clear to both sides.
For nothing more than honor.
It was a shame that a thousand cavalry were wiped out in silence.
Especially for the Jianzhou Iron Cavalry, which has almost no defeat since entering the customs.
The revenge of one arrow must be avenged.
The Tartar cavalry began to raise their swords.
The reins in his hand began to tremble slowly.
The war horse hurriedly trampled the ground under its hooves.
The sound of hooves changed from scattered to neat.
When the horses were shot like arrows, all the horses began to gallop forward.
Faster and faster, like the tide of the Qiantang River at high tide.
Surging and unstoppable.
……。
The forward Ming soldiers clenched their spears.
Their eyes began to freeze, and the focus was on the shadow of the horse that gradually enlarged in their field of vision.
In the face of cavalry, killing horses is more important than killing.
There were shield guards on the side, and they had only one role, to protect the pikemen's body from the arrows of the Tartar cavalry.
As for being hit and trampled on by a war horse, that is no longer in the table.
If you bump into it, you can only be unlucky, and your fate should be like this.
The crossbowmen in the back row had already bent their bows and strings, just waiting for an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired.
This is a standard infantry versus cavalry charge deployment.
Zhou Dahu spat forward.
He said to Shen Zhiyuan: "Young Master Shen, thanks to you, I have to confess to my brothers here today." I intercepted you once on Shining Street, and I paid you back today. But if you dare to run away, don't blame me for not recognizing people with the knife in my hand. ”
Shen Zhiyuan smiled indifferently, "Zhou Dahu, you don't have that chance!" ”
As he spoke, the Tartar cavalry blew like the wind and reached half a mile in front of the Ming army.
Suddenly it was sluggish.
Although they are still moving forward, their speed has decreased significantly.
The war horse is like a detachment.
The cavalry on the horse was caught off guard, and several cavalrymen had already flown out of their horses.
This is not the most important thing, the war horses behind are still rushing forward.
So, the front and back collided together, and a very beautiful cavalry line became chaotic.
Seeing that it was done, Shen Zhiyuan got up and waved his knife, "Kill!" ”
Zhou Dahu jumped up in response and shouted: "Brothers, kill the Tartars!" ”
With his thirty brothers, he rushed to the front.
After that, Shen Zhiyuan and the soldiers of the first battalion.
Then there were more than 500 people from Qian Qiaogong.
Only Chi Erhan's department took over the original front of Shen Zhiyuan and Zhou Dahu's department.
This is to prepare for the situation to be wrong, to meet the charging Ming army, and at the same time to resist the enemy's last barrier.
The Tartars certainly didn't know that it was a hoax. To be precise, it's a life-threatening scam.
The deployment of the Ming army was not to meet the cavalry assault, but to cover the eyes.
The real purpose is to relax the opponent's vigilance, thinking that he is going to fight an offensive and defensive battle.
It's crazy.
Crazy enough!
With the same number of troops, the infantry charged the cavalry.
Is it looking for death?
Even if the Tartar cavalry is in disarray, the official road is flat on both sides.
Such a terrain was chosen, or to paralyze the guardedness of the Tartars.
The middle and rear parts of the Tartar charge formation were already spreading out to the sides.
Half a mile away, just a snap of a finger.
Zhou Dahu roared and slashed the two of them in a row, and then began to go deeper.
In the last battle of Shining Town, after being trained by Shen Zhiyuan, the more than 30 people under Zhou Dahu had already memorized their duties.
They desperately protected Zhou Dahu's wings.
Shen Zhiyuan's knife skills are indeed not bad, jerky and sluggish.
But it doesn't matter, the Tartar striker who fell into a daze was powerless to parry.
When slashing and killing a Tartar, Shen Zhiyuan suddenly shouted excitedly, "Wu Zheng, have you seen it, I killed a Tartar!" ”
Strange to say, many people are uncomfortable when they kill the first person in their lives.
Shen Zhiyuan is an outlier.
It's different from when I used to talk about killing people at home.
really waited to kill someone, but Shen Zhiyuan was only excited, and he didn't feel unbearable at all.
So, it was out of control.
But in a blink of an eye, Zhou Dahu ran into trouble.
He found that he couldn't rush in.
The tartar, who had come to his senses, jumped off his horse and began to walk step by step.
The Tartars, who spread out to the left and right, began to ride their horses forward and detour forward, encircling Shen Zhiyuan.
happened to collide with Qian Qiaogong's department.
Qian Qiaogong's department is the most stressful part of this battle.
All the scenes that happened had been rehearsed in advance.
The four hooves of the war horse are nailed with shoes, and the magnet buried under the ground produces resistance, which makes the war horse sluggish.
The speed of the forward suddenly slows down, and it will be bumped into by the cavalry behind.
However, the ground where the magnet stone was buried three zhang wide could not really stop the enemy army.
It can only affect the speed of the war horse and create opportunities for Shen Zhiyuan and Zhou Dahu to charge.
Delaying the enemy's charging speed is the goal, but the charge of Shen Zhiyuan and Zhou Dahu's troops is still a trick.
The object of Shen Zhi's distant charge was the Tartar's already chaotic forward, which seemed dangerous, but in fact it was safe.
It was Qian Qiaogong's department that really endured the main force of the Tartars.
They had to deal with cavalry from the Tartars on both sides of the road.
Although the speed of the roundabout cavalry had slowed down due to the sudden turn, the problem was that Qian Qiaogong's more than 500 people were holding not spears, but swords and shields.
This is suicide, apparently suicide!
If faced with a cavalry that is not fast, the pikemen can rely on the pikemen to fight the cavalry.
Although you can't win, you can stick to it undefeated.
But there are no ifs.
The Tatar cavalry closed from both sides to the official road, and in an instant, dozens of Ming soldiers and horses were knocked away and trampled.
Hundreds of Tartar cavalry quickly closed in the rear of Qian Qiaogong's department.
The Tartar generals who were staring at the battlefield from afar were very puzzled, according to the record of this Ming army, they should not make such a low-level mistake of common sense.
Why is that?
He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
And this premonition became a reality in an instant.
"Buzz......."
……。
More than 600 people from the third battalion of Wu Zhengsuo's department lay in ambush at the foot of Pinggang Mountain for three days and three nights.
It never waited for the enemy to cross Pinggang Mountain.
Fortunately, there are liaison officers along the way.
Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the Tartars had indeed attacked the Three Realms, and that Wei Wenyuan and Liao Zhongping had also sent reinforcements to Qian Qiaogong as planned.
The number of people and the direction are right, and it seems that victory in this battle is in sight.
Wu Zheng believed that Qian Qiaogong would definitely be able to hold out to Wei Wenyuan's troops and Liao Zhongping's troops for reinforcements.
Then, there is no point in ambushing here.
"Chen Sheng, immediately lead the army back to the Three Realms." Thirty miles away, hurry up, maybe drink a mouthful of soup.
