Chapter 41: The Cavalry Counterattack
To break through, it is natural to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to pass with one blow.
However, Xiao Bozhi sent someone to inform the Jin army to break through today, and pointed out that it was from the southern front, which no matter from which point of view, it showed that he Xiao Beiyu was particularly ignorant, or particularly arrogant.
Since ancient times, generals who are empty-eyed and especially ignorant usually do not end well.
Wei Xuewen didn't see it that way, he thought that Xiao Dabeard, who had been promised the future of the governor by his thirteenth uncle, was still very powerful.
Because, the direction of the breakthrough is not the southern front, but the western front.
This move, in the words of his thirteenth uncle, is called tactical deception.
Abai, the white-flag-inlaid lord who didn't close his eyes all night, soon discovered the real breakthrough direction of the Ming army, which made him feel deceived.
Just over an hour ago, considering that Suo Hun was afraid of the Ming army, and the fifth Jiala was not full, and there was a lack of two Niu Lu left in Changdian, so he decisively followed Duokana's suggestion and ordered the first Jia Lazhen Guerto to take his remnants of more than 700 soldiers to reinforce the fifth Jia La, and ordered the third Jia Ladu An Chao Department on the Western Front to draw three Niu Lu and send them to the fifth Jia La.
This gave the Fifth Jiala on the southern front the strength of eleven Niu Lu, and the strength of the army alone was nearly three times that of the Ming army that broke through.
With such a thick force, coupled with the fact that the Ming army was breaking through, Abai never thought that the southern front would be unable to withstand it.
If the Ming army could not break through, it would be in a dilemma.
It's better than letting them bite the way.
Abai was very proud of his deployment, but now, this bit of pride hidden in his heart is gone.
"Third elder brother, it's the Western Front!"
"The Ming army is really cunning!"
“......”
The anger of the generals made Abai's face flush with anger, he had been deceived!
"Long Guda, go quickly!"
Dokana was the first to react, and he didn't care that the banner owner had not yet given orders, so he asked the stunned Mele Zhangjing Longguda to quickly bring people to reinforce Du Anchao on the Western Front, otherwise the Ming army was likely to break through the third Jiala.
Thinking of the fear of the third Jiajia Lama Zhendu An Chao for the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of his bones, Duokana couldn't help but be even more anxious.
.......
Although he was taken away by the banner master, Du Anchao had an unusual calmness, and even he considered whether to lead his department to seize their camp when the Ming army broke through unsmoothly, so that the head gong would not be able to take his turn, but how could he get a piece of the pie.
As a senior general of the Dajin Eight Banners, Du Anchao never thought that he was afraid of the Ming Dynasty, he just thought that he should be cautious about the Ming Dynasty.
However, there are always some people in the flag who regard him as a rat, which makes Du Anchao very aggrieved, so he needs to prove it to himself.
Only now, he can't seem to prove anything, and he can't calm down.
After the Ming army left the camp, they went straight to his third Jiala, and the cavalry in front of him had begun to accelerate.
Because of the deception of the Ming army, the western front where the third Jiala was located did not have the slightest defensive preparation. In the face of the sudden blow of the Ming army, Du Anchao did not even have time to organize one or two Niu Lu and the Ming army to hedge in order to slow down their charge.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Du An was in a hurry, and the sound of trumpets and various flags waved.
The third Lajin soldiers who had received the order hurriedly adjusted, and the third and fourth Niu Lu Jin soldiers, who were the first to be prepared, had already begun to draw their bows and arrows.
The firearms of the Ming army are powerful, but the big arrows that Jurchen Erlang is good at are also not bad.
In the sound of "whoosh", a round of arrows rained out in front of the Jin Army's defense line.
For the cavalry brigade that served as the vanguard of the whole army's breakthrough, it was impossible for them to dismount and shoot fire at the Jin soldiers, so they could only brave the rain of arrows roaring from the Jin army to rush forward.
Under the command of experienced officers, the soldiers of the Ming army bowed down one after another, and some of them held on to their horses while blocking the temporarily issued cards in front of them. There is also the superb equestrian who flips directly from the side below, and clings to the saddle rope on the horse's belly with both hands.
These actions are extremely testing the soldier's ability to control the war horse, and they are also the actions of the Jin army and even those masters of the Northern Captive Mongol soldiers.
The experiences that mankind has learned in war have always been learned from each other.
Seeing that those Ming troops were getting closer and closer, and the infantry teams behind them also drove all kinds of carriages over, Du Anchao was anxious and angry.
He only hated that he didn't have the artillery in his hand, otherwise when the cannon sounded, how could he let those Ming soldiers be killed and wounded.
.......
Even if the charging Ming cavalry was superb in horsemanship, it was impossible to be unscathed in the face of the dense rain of arrows of the Jin army.
The bow and arrow used by the Jin army are very powerful, as long as the arrow is hit and the body is not wearing iron armor, it will suddenly be "poof" and submerge into the body.
"Whoosh!" With a bang, a big arrow stuck to the left side of Wei Xuewen's face, hitting the chest of the pro-soldier behind him, and the pro-soldier planted under the horse before he had time to let out a miserable scream, his legs were hung by the saddle, and his body was dragged forward by the war horse.
"Shoot, shoot these Ming barbarians, shoot, shoot! …”
Although the third Jiala is generally afraid of the Ming army in several Jiala inlaid with white flags because of the fear of the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of warriors who dare to fight.
"Shoot, shoot them!"
Niu Lu Zhen Xitara personally pulled out the big bow, "Whoosh! With a loud sound, the feather arrow made a sharp roar, and went straight to the forehead of a Ming soldier holding a flag in his hand.
With a "flutter", the Ming army's right eye widened, the banner slipped from his hand, and instinctively stretched out his hands to pull out the arrow, but before his hands were raised, the person had already fallen backwards.
Hitara laughed fiercely, he clearly saw that his arrow had hit the left eye of the Ming soldier, and the strength was so great that even the eyes of the Ming barbarian came out of the back of his head.
"Master is good at archery!"
Hitara's Goshha wasted no time in slapping his ass.
"Boy, learn from it, this big bow is the skill of our Jurchen housekeepers, and if you practice the arrow well, you are a real Jurchen man!"
As soon as Hitara struck a blow, she couldn't wait to pull her bow and stretch her strings, and she was about to capture the next short-lived Ming barbarian.
Under the encouragement and stimulation of Niu Lu's real heart, the Jin soldiers also began to get excited, trying to target those Ming troops who were hiding in ambush.
A sharp arrow soared into the air, and from time to time there were arrows in the Ming army falling from the horse.
When he felt that the distance was almost up and he was about to turn up, his heart was involuntarily tightened, and when he raised his eyes, an arrow shining with cold light had "whistled".
"Flutter", the big arrow hit him in the back, after the great pain, Yu Dehai only felt that his heart suddenly contracted, the blood in his chest surged, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, "plop", and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.
The horses still rushed forward, but there was no master again.
Those who can wear iron armor are naturally not ordinary soldiers, and many golden soldiers aimed their bows and arrows at Wei Xuewen, who was galloping. Many arrows were fired at the young general, most missed, but some hit the target.
It's just that those arrows fell on Wei Xuewen's body, but they were bounced off as if they had touched a copper wall and iron arm.
Wei Xuewen, who was wrapped in iron armor all over his body, was not afraid of any arrows at all, he only rushed forward with his war horse.
The soldiers who fell from time to time around him made Wei Xuewen exude hatred in his bones.
"Release!"
A cold voice sounded from behind the mask, and the two soldiers raised the small flag in their hands into the air and waved it a few times.
In an instant, the cavalry of the Ming army who were lying on their stomachs to avoid the arrows of the Jin army rose one after another, and more than 200 soldiers with three-eyed guns in their hands pointed their guns at the Jin soldiers who were opening their bows and arrows in front.
The soldiers who didn't have the three-eyed guns figured out the strange things hanging from the ropes, swung them in the air, and threw them forward.
The things spun in circles in mid-air, emitting flames.
