Chapter 509: Rushing into Battle

Baijianu can be regarded as an outlier in the armies of Quanzhou, he is not used to the intrigue of the Han people, playing conspiracy, and fighting hearts; also sneered at the Han generals' promotion by relying on relationships, rather than on military exploits; also thinks that Pu Shougeng is a treacherous villain, and does not hesitate to attack his former master for his own glory and wealth, which is incompatible with the character of the Mongols. Because he has always adhered to the creed of a Mongol warrior, eager to fight, and fond www.biquge.info of killing, he cannot quickly indulge in prosperity like other Mongols and cannot extricate himself, which makes him feel lonely in Quanzhou and become a monster in the eyes of others.

At present, the city defense has been lost, and the last place to retreat is also in danger, and his father instigated the capital to be blocked from entering the city outside the city, and the hundred slaves drank a lot, but they also knew that the little emperor who captured the Southern Dynasty on the current grounds could force the Song army to retreat. Pufu is located outside the sub-city in the south of the city, and the head of the south city where it is located is only a mile, and it is only a moment of kung fu to gallop on horseback.

As a battlefield general, Baijianu naturally knows that it is not easy to rush to the main general. However, judging from his experience in fighting with the Southern Army, in the face of the onslaught of cavalry, if the Song army had no danger or city defense to rely on, it often collapsed at the touch of a button, and never dared to engage in battle, let alone fight hard. And the current situation is also very favorable to itself, the Song army in front of the formation is only more than 2,000, and there are still more than 500 cavalry available on their side. According to the past practice, a hundred cavalry could defeat thousands of Southern Dynasty infantry troops, and it was not difficult to break through the slightly thin formation in front of him.

On the other hand, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty also killed himself, although the view above the city was good, but it was too close to the battlefield. And it is facing the city, and behind it is the moat, and there is no way back. From this, Baijianu concluded that as long as he moved fast enough and attacked quickly, even if he suffered some losses, he would be able to capture the little emperor alive and force the southern army to retreat and even surrender. If it is a 'normal' situation, it is not impossible for Baijianu to think that there is no possibility of success, you must know that there are not a few examples of Mongolian troops breaking the enemy with a hundred horses. And he still has five hundred fine horsemen available, plus a little wine, his brain is hot, and his courage is strong, so he will go to battle.

Although Pu Shougeng is the head of Quanzhou at the moment, he also knows that his identity is embarrassing, and he still needs to use the power of the capital to stabilize the situation in Quanzhou. With this in his heart, he naturally respects the hundred slaves, and does not dare to offend, and he hopes to instigate the liberation of the siege at this critical time. And Baijianu was not interested in it, and he didn't take it in his eyes, he did it directly if he wanted to, and he didn't even say hello to him.

What Baijianu didn't expect was that this southern army was no longer the southern army, they were not only extremely small emperors, but also equipped with sharp weapons that were proud of the times. Therefore, as soon as his operation began, he was attacked fiercely by the Song army, and suffered heavy casualties. But he still didn't want to give up, and launched a desperate attack! Baijia Nu tightened his legs and lay on the horse's back, constantly knocking with the spurs on the heel of his boots, and the war horse ran forward in pain, running faster and faster, and there were cavalry behind him to control the frightened war horse, and chased up, and gathered more than 100 horsemen.

'Poof! As a people who grew up on horseback, Baijia Nu naturally knew that if he wanted to increase his speed to the extreme at such a short distance, he could only use extraordinary means, and when he was still about a hundred and ten paces away from the enemy formation, he drew his dagger and plunged it into the horse's hip. His mount was already a good horse, and after being stimulated by such a big stimulus, he ran forward like crazy......

"Raise your bow!" Chen Fenglin, who was in front of the command, saw the enemy cavalry rushing quickly, and immediately ordered the archers to draw their bows and arrows.

"Launch!" According to the rules, before the archers fire, an experienced archer should fire an arrow, which is equivalent to the base gun of modern artillery, to determine the distance, and after the enemy army has entered, the other archers will shoot together. But at the moment, the two hatchbacks were too close to each other, and there was no time to follow the procedure, and after the preparations were completed, Chen Fenglin gave the order to launch.

"Eal, launch!" The archers also saw the situation clearly, and after the first round of arrows was fired, they were ready for the second round of fire. Chen Fenglin then ordered the launch, and increased the angle of fire for projectile, covering the enemy's riding route in front of the formation, and using the kinetic energy of the arrows to kill and injure the enemy soldiers.

"Collect the bow, draw the sword!" After firing two rounds, the enemy was within fifty paces, and it was difficult to complete the second round of firing. The terrain was narrow and difficult to change formations, so Chen Fenglin ordered the archers to withdraw their swords and prepare to wait for the enemy to break through the defensive line laid by the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, and then participate in hand-to-hand combat to block the enemy's cavalry from continuing to penetrate.

At this moment, the foremost shieldmen had erected their great shields, erected their supports, and pressed them against their shoulders, ready to resist the onslaught of the enemy horsemen. The spearmen also put their spears on top of their shields and poked out their spears to stab the charging enemy. The sword and shield man leaned down and raised his shield high, forming a scaly shield to resist the arrows fired by the enemy horseman......

The Mongol cavalry marched forward under the leadership of Baijianu, and these elites, dressed in double armor, broke into the rain of arrows fired by the Song army. The terrain was narrow and unfavorable to the Song army, and it was also difficult for the cavalry to evacuate, and people and horses were constantly being hit by arrows under the dense arrows. But they could not care more than that, and those behind could only trample through, knowing that if they rushed past and approached the enemy, the arrows would be useless against them. But it was also unpleasant, and no one could figure out which direction the arrow would come from or which arrow they would hit.

And the most terrifying thing is the crossbow arrows fired by the ballista, if it is an ordinary arrow, even if it penetrates the armor, as long as it does not hit the vital point, it will still not have much impact on the next battle. But those crossbow arrows are different, they are all made of fine iron, the strength is heavy, the double armor in front of the ballista is like paper paste, as long as they are shot, they are often penetrated, causing huge damage to the body, and only a large amount of bleeding can make people lose their combat effectiveness.

Two rounds of arrow rain and sniper fire from ballistas caused heavy losses to the Mongolian cavalry, and they had already fallen seventy or eighty percent before they reached the battle. And they have no way to retreat, and the narrow battlefield does not allow them to use the tactics of guerrilla attacks and sudden attacks and harassment in the past, and there is only one chance for success or failure. As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the right hand took out five arrows from the quiver and clamped them, and the left hand had already picked up the bow in his hand, and at the same time sandwiched the drawn arrows between his fingers, and suddenly stood up and pulled the bow and shot at the Song army. One arrow is fired, and the target is already on the second arrow and the bow is fired, and so on, until the five arrows have been shot before the battle.

At this moment, it was less than ten steps away from the Song army, Baijia Nu hung his bow and drew his sword, hung the shield on his left arm, touched the war horse with his right knee and adjusted the direction, and his feet slammed down the horse's belly. The war horse leaped to its feet, jumped over the array of guns, and crashed into the enemy's formation...... (To be continued.) )
