Chapter 1311: Foot Horse Duel
Chapter 1311: Foot Horse Duel
The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry rushed forward and one after another, trying to break through the firepower network built by the Han army's strong crossbows and javelins, but the firepower of the Han Army was too fierce, coupled with the accumulation of the corpses of the soldiers killed in the front, which greatly limited the speed of the soldiers who were replenished in the back, so that the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry could not rush forward.
At first, Temujin wanted to rely on the number of people to consume Qin Hao's ordnance, but gradually he also felt that something was wrong, and the number of javelins thrown in the formation was conservatively estimated to be more than 150,000, but there was no intention of moderation.
Temujin didn't know how many javelins Qin Hao had left, but he knew that he couldn't continue to consume them like this.
The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry has already paid the price of nearly 10,000 people, but it has not even been able to get close to the Longmen Array, and continues to use human lives to consume the material reserves in the hands of Qin Hao, who is rich and wealthy, I am afraid that even if the soldiers under his command are exhausted, they may not be able to probe Qin Hao's bottom.
"I made a mistake, I didn't expect Qin Hao to prepare so many javelins in advance and build such a dense firepower network."
Temujin's face showed a solemn expression, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order, give up the frontal assault, change the army into two routes, and attack from the left and right." ”
"No."
Temujin had already seen that it was impossible to rush through the frontal assault, and since this road was impassable, then he had to take another way, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to flank the left and right of the Longmen Array, so that they could disperse the firepower of the Han army in the Longmen Array, and they could avoid the corpses of their own people on the frontal road to speed up, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The Yuanmeng iron cavalry had already lost nearly 10,000 troops before it approached the Longmen array, and the frontal battlefield was full of the corpses of Yuanmeng soldiers, which was very unfavorable for the cavalry to march.
After Temujin's order to outflank the left and right was conveyed, the Yuan army did not brainlessly hit the muzzle of the Han army, but divided into two, one led by Jebe and the other led by Wokotai, and outflanked the left and right sides of the Longmen Array, and without those corpses and horse corpses to block, the advance speed of the army was five points faster.
"Quick, fast throw javelins, all throw faster."
Xue Rengui, who was in charge of the Outer Dragon Gate Formation, also changed his strategy when he saw this, and shouted to the soldiers: "The javelin is only useful if you still go out, and if you keep it in your hand, it will be scrap iron."
Ben will not ask you to have an accurate head, as long as you throw it out, and finish it before Yuanmeng hits them. ”
As soon as the Han soldiers heard this, they all threw javelins even harder, but the number of millions of javelins was too much, and the soldiers who threw were less than 20,000, and they only threw thirty or forty rounds when they were exhausted, and then they had no strength, and Yuan Meng had already killed them, and the javelins used in throwing were also useless.
Under the charge of the Yuanmeng cavalry without casualties, the firepower dispersed the firepower of the Han army, and was finally broken through by the Yuanmeng cavalry.
"The spearman retreats, the spearman steps forward, and the shield hand takes the shield, using the spear and shield tactics in one." Xue Rengui shouted.
A large number of long spearmen stepped forward quickly, either holding their spears on their shields or passing their spears through the shields.
And under the arming of countless guns, in an instant, the shield array on the periphery of the Longmen Array became a hedgehog shell, but anyone who approached would definitely hit his head and break the bloodstream.
Seeing this, Jebe, who was at the forefront of the charge, not only did not slow down, but showed joy, and raised his bow and shot five arrows directly, and these five arrows shot through each of the five shields, and then killed the five shieldmen behind the shields.
With the death of the five sword and shield men, a small gap suddenly appeared in the shield array of the Han army, but in an instant, someone raised a shield to fill the gap.
Seeing this, Jebe did not continue to release useless arrows, but raised the bow in his hand and shouted: "Just a shield array of spears, I also want to block my Yuanmeng Iron Horse, it's just a dream." Soldiers, rush. ”
"Kill ......"
When he found that the enemy was close in front of him, the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry seemed to be crazy, knowing that there was a strong shield gun forest in front of him, but he still bumped into it without hesitation.
Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......
Although the spear forest can pierce the Yuan cavalry and the people and horses, under the continuous impact of the Yuan cavalry, the shield of the shield array is broken, the spear of the gun forest is broken, and the soldiers holding the shield are even more knocked away.
The shields equipped by the Han army have been modified, which are characteristic shields that imitate the trapping camp, and the shields can be connected to form a whole to disperse the impact of the cavalry to the greatest extent.
But even so, a large number of shields were shattered, and under this unstoppable impact, some soldiers were even directly knocked more than ten meters away, and in the process of falling, they happened to land in the gun forest area, and were stabbed to death by their own spears.
"Resist, resist ......"
Xue Rengui roared, but the shield array was already there, the gun array was already there, how could he stop the iron hooves of the cavalry with only the flesh and mortal fetus.
Xue Rengui seemed to have expected this, so he simply resisted for a while, and decisively decided to retreat to the second shield wall, but soon the second shield wall was also broken, and Xue Rengui then retreated to the third shield wall.
The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry broke through the two shield formations of the Han army, and when it encountered the third one, the impact of the cavalry was not much left, and Xue Rengui took advantage of the victory to pursue and use the shield array to forcibly block the cavalry.
"Kill ......"
The infantry and cavalry fought among themselves in the most primitive battles.
"Mo Knife Strikes."
Xue Rengui personally took the Mo knife hand to kill, and he was facing the cavalry to kill, the incomparably sharp Mo knife, the battle method like a wall advancement, the Yuan cavalry who killed cried and shouted his mother, leaving countless corpses along the way.
At the same time, Yang Erlang, Qin Lie, Hua Rong and Yang Zhi, who were guarding the other four gates, also took advantage of the impact of the Yuan Cavalry being unloaded, thus launching a fierce counterattack.
In an instant, the five formations of the outer dragon gate were all ignited with extremely fierce battles, and due to the small contact angle between the Yuan cavalry and the Han army, a large number of cavalry began to break into the formation gate.
Temujin wanted to forcibly defeat the Longmen Formation, but with the war, who cares where the gate is? It's not all seams, just drill into it.
The gap between the five formations of the outer dragon gate, that is, the formation gate, is so open, the number of Yuan cavalry is so large, and the Han army that can be faced is only so little, so it is difficult not to squeeze into the formation gate.
This is also Qin Hao's most clever point, so that Yuan Meng consciously broke into the Longmen Array, and he couldn't control it if he wanted to, and naturally he couldn't get out after coming in.
Wang Meng, who was guarding one of the five inner gates, immediately shouted when he saw a large number of cavalry rushing in front of him: "Bid for guns." ”
For a time, a thousand guns flew together, and countless cavalry were crucified on the way.
Wen Tianxiang, Jiang Yu, Shi Long, and Mu Feng either used shield squeezing tactics, or used gun and shield combat methods, or directly fired crossbows, and they all wiped out the enemy cavalry that broke into the formation.
For a time, the number of Yuanmeng cavalry began to decrease rapidly.
