Although Zhao Junchen despised the poor performance of the Ming army and the Mongolian cavalry in his heart, and also found a lot of faults on both sides, when the Mongols began to attack, Zhao Junchen was still frightened and at a loss. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, this is the first time that Zhao Junchen has personally participated in a real war! It is also the first time that Zhao Junchen really faces a life and death crisis!

War is cruel and dangerous! When facing knives and guns, Zhao Junchen, a second-class member of the imperial court and a minister of the imperial court, is no different from ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, and he will also be injured and killed!

When the Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the top of the mountain with swords and guns held high, Zhao Junchen really felt this!

Don't look at Zhao Junchen's appearance of pointing out the country just now, he easily discovered many deficiencies of the two armies, but when Zhao Junchen personally participated in the war and became a person in the game, there was only panic left in his heart, where could he observe and think calmly like just now?

Zhao Junchen used to often ridicule the Qingliu officials of the imperial court as high-eyed and boastful, but at this moment Zhao Junchen actually has no difference!

Although the terrain of Tushan is steep, it is only a small hill after all, neither big nor high, and suddenly six or seven hundred fierce Mongolian cavalry rushed up, which was naturally full of impact.

Zhao Junchen also had only 300 guards around him, of which more than 100 were overwhelmed brocade guards, and more than 10 were ordinary servants who did not have any combat power, and only the Shanxi cavalry of less than 200 people could be reused, and the two sides could be described as a huge disparity in strength.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Zhao Junchen to be flustered.

Therefore, when the Mongols attacked the top of the mountain for the first time, Zhao Junchen did not play any advantageous role, but just hid behind a few family members and watched everything that happened in front of him with wide eyes!

Then, the first attack of the Mongol cavalry, which was quickly defeated!

Under the command of Zhao Dali, after Zhao Junchen's guards fired a salvo of hundreds of arrows, the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but it was only half a pillar of incense, and the Mongolian cavalry left dozens of corpses and retreated neatly!

Seeing such a situation, Zhao Junchen only felt incredible.

The first wave of the Mongol attack was repulsed so easily?

Then, Zhao Junchen finally realized the crux of the problem - the Mongols were too anxious and wanted to break through the defense as soon as possible, but they sent too many men and horses, which is why the Mongols' first attack was frustrated!

Although the mountain was not high, the mountainside was very steep, and the speed of the Mongol cavalry slowed down as soon as they rushed to the mountainside.

In addition, the Mongolian cavalry rushed up too many men and horses in one go, and after the speed slowed down, everyone was crowded together, there was no room to dodge, and there was no armor on the body, so they became a live target, even if they were not good at archery, they could easily shoot.

What's more, the Mongol cavalry was located below, and the range was not as long, so they could only be beaten passively, but they did not have any power to fight back.

In such a situation, unless the Mongol cavalry was extremely resolute and brave, willing to bear huge casualties, and rushed to the top of the mountain in one breath under the rain of arrows, it was natural to retreat.

Obviously, although the Mongol cavalry was brave, they were not good at attacking fortifications and fighting against the wind, and they did not hold out for long before they were defeated.

After repelling the Mongols, not only Zhao Junchen felt incredible, but even Zhao Junchen's guards were also incredible, and they were also full of momentum, thinking that the Mongolian cavalry was nothing but amazing.

Then, under the discouraged organization of the Mongol generals, the Mongols immediately began a second wave of offensive, but they were quickly defeated.

Then, the Mongolian general personally led the Mongolian cavalry to charge towards the top of the mountain and began the third wave of offensive, but this time the Mongolian cavalry held out for a shorter time, and as soon as they rushed to the mountainside, they were immediately defeated, and the Mongolian general who personally led the charge also received an arrow on the shoulder!

Three consecutive charges, the Mongolian cavalry could only rush to the mountainside at most, and none of them could last more than half a pillar of incense, leaving nearly a hundred corpses behind, but Zhao Junchen's guards were not killed or wounded!

Seeing that the battle was going so smoothly, everyone on the top of the mountain became optimistic, believing that as long as they occupied this dirt mountain, they could easily resist the Mongol attack, and at least until reinforcements arrived, there would be no problems in the defense of the earth mountain.

At the same time, due to the unexpectedly smooth outcome of the war, Zhao Junchen also gradually calmed down and regained his former sharpness and calmness.

However, just as the Mongols were preparing for the fourth attack, Zhao Dali walked quickly to Zhao Junchen's side, his expression was extremely solemn, but he was not as optimistic as the rest.

"Lord Zhao, the situation is not good!"

Zhao Dali said softly to Zhao Junchen.

After hearing Zhao Dali's report, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't the war going well? I think the Mongols suffered heavy casualties, but we didn't have a single casualty...... As long as the Mongols attack blindly like this a few more times, their superiority in strength will be exhausted, and perhaps no reinforcements will be needed, and our people alone will be enough to destroy them! ”

Zhao Dali shook his head with a serious face, and said: "The Mongols have gradually become smarter, when they attacked for the third time, although they were defeated and retreated quickly, they also took away all the corpses on the mountainside, I am afraid that they will use these corpses to resist our bows and arrows next time, and we still want to achieve the results of the first few battles, I am afraid it is no longer possible...... The most important thing is that the villain just counted and found that most of the soldiers' bows and arrows have been consumed, and they are only enough to resist two attacks at most, and when the bows and arrows are consumed, we may only be able to meet the Mongols with a white blade, and at that time, we will only have the terrain left, and the Mongols' strength advantage will be undoubted. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Dali turned his head to look at the more than 100 brocade guards not far away, but shook his head slightly.

It is naturally good to let these Jinyi guards stand on a high place and shoot arrows to kill the enemy, but if they are allowed to engage in melee combat with the Mongols, no one knows whether these seemingly brave Jinyi guards will be in chaos, not to mention that Zhao Junchen has handed over all the horses of Jinyi Guards to Mao Jiadong, and when it comes to real life and death, only the Shanxi cavalry of less than 200 people is worth reuse.

After hearing Zhao Dali's report, Zhao Junchen's face couldn't help but change: "More than half of the arrows have been consumed? How can it be so fast? ”

Zhao Dali's face was ashamed, and he lowered his head and said: "It's all because the villain doesn't know how to control it, so he let the soldiers shoot arrows at will, and ask Lord Zhao to punish him." ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly and said, "That's it, you were just an ordinary sergeant in the past, this is your first time commanding a battle, and negligence is inevitable, and you can't blame it...... By the way, Mao Jiadong said that there are many stones on this dirt mountain that can be used as small stones to throw, and the official observed that this is indeed the case, why not use the stones to retreat from the enemy? ”

Zhao Dali shook his head and said: "If you throw stones to retreat from the enemy, it is only possible to retreat from the enemy once or twice, now after all, it is not a defense city, and the lethality of small stones is limited, which is not enough to deter the enemy, but it will expose the shortcomings of our bow and arrow, which will only make the Mongolians demoralized, so unless it is a last resort, the villain does not recommend throwing stones to retreat the enemy!" ”

Hearing Zhao Dali's statement, Zhao Junchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

After a moment of silence, seeing that the Mongolian cavalry under the mountain was about to start the fourth attack, Zhao Junchen said to Zhao Dali: "I have a plan in my heart, you can hear if it works!" ”
