Chapter 570: Burial of the River (3)

Only after a while, Liu Juntao saw through the clairvoyant mirror that the smoke and dust in the field under the mountain were thicker, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was even louder, and the army of 100,000 Tatar iron cavalry was advancing forward, and at the forefront of the army, thousands of light cavalry were sweeping the formation, constantly harassing the officers and men of the Tiance Army in the defensive line, trying to lure the officers and men of various departments to fire in advance.

Finally, a piece of gray-white armor and banners spread to the bottom of the mountain, and there were a large number of armor soldiers wearing willow leaf armor, Luo ring armor, red tasseled hats or flap helmets.

It's just that the 10,000 cowardly Xue army created by Xiao Lai has not yet been seen, and presumably Xiao Lai is ready to use this 10,000 army at a critical moment.

Looking at the sea of people under the mountain, Liu Juntao held a clairvoyant mirror and looked out, ready to observe the deployment of the 100,000 troops of the Tatar Department.

At this time, a steady stream of Tatar troops and horses still arrived, but after reaching the hills and plains below, most of the rest of the troops stood still, except for a few sentry horses, as if waiting for something.

This is a long time, all the way from the hour to the hour, and then to the hour, Liu Juntao suddenly saw the arrival of a sea of black pressure behind the Tatar army, but it was the infantry of the Tatar army, and they were escorting a lot of mountain attack equipment, mostly some big shields, arrows or something, but those big shields were some shoddy goods, obviously they were temporarily made by mobilizing manpower.

Liu Juntao thought about it and knew that although the Tatar army was numerous, it would take time and materials to make some standard military shields.

Seeing those mountain-attacking equipment in the clairvoyant mirror, Liu Juntao couldn't help but sneer in his heart, the defense line of the Burial River starts from the mountainside, there are as many trenches and traps as possible, those Tartars want to push these wooden shields up, it is impossible, except for the flesh and blood shields, the Tartars under the mountain have no way.

At this moment, I heard a loud noise from the bottom of the mountain: "Woo~Woo~"

The trumpets sounded constantly in the Tatar army under the mountain, and the Tatar Uketu Khan constantly commanded the troops and horses to start mobilizing, and the army began to assemble around a mountain bag two miles away from the mountain.

At this time, there were some generals of various Tatar departments riding horses beside him, but these people were silent about him, although they were all his henchmen, but they did not have any autonomy.

This is also a point that is not enough compared to Wara, although it has been defeated, but there are still two capable generals in his hands, Arazhiyuan and Saikan Wang, and the generals under Xiaolai are all mediocre people, and there are no characters who can be in charge alone.

If he has one or two capable generals in his hands, then the 200,000 troops left in the desert can completely drag down the Tiance army, at least delay the offensive of the Tiance army, and he can calmly attack the entire Liaodong, and then the Tatar department can soar into the sky and build the glory of Great Mongolia!

But now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, we can only take one step at a time.

In this battle, I looked at the ordinary, narrow mountain range in front of me, and his face also showed a dignified look.

He had studied all the battles of the Warat Department and the Tiance Army earlier, and knew that the Tiance Army not only attacked fiercely, but also defended it impregnantly.

Although the defense line in front of the [Begonia Book House fo] looks inconspicuous, once this battle starts, the army will definitely suffer serious losses.

At this point, I am still a little mentally prepared, after all, it is against the Tiance Army, and if you want to defeat it or draw, you will have to pay a huge price!

It didn't take long for him to order the army to attack.

I saw that the army of 100,000 Tatars was suddenly divided into three huge phalanxes, one phalanx in the center was about 40,000 horses, and the phalanx on the left and right flanks each had 30,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, the sound of the defense line of the Burial River was loud, countless white smoke rose up, tens of thousands of bird-stalkers opened fire almost at the same time, and hundreds of artillery pieces continued to roar, which immediately enveloped the two phalanxes of the Tatar Department and the 60,000-strong army, and the heavens and the earth trembled!

However, the 60,000 Tatar army was not passively beaten, and almost all of the large shields of the generals were equipped with them, although the effect was limited, but it also minimized the casualties of this army.

At the same time, the 60,000 Tatar troops did not disperse and did not continue to charge, but bent their bows and drew arrows one after another, and began to fire a volley into the sky at the defense line of the Fuyu River.

These 60,000 Tatar armies were all archers!

It can be regarded as painstaking for this battle, knowing that the most powerful thing in the Tiance army is all kinds of firearms, with such terrifying firepower, fighting against it on the plains, and maybe relying on the Jin Ge Iron Horse to win, but in the mountains, the iron cavalry army will only be slaughtered, and the Warat Department is a lesson from the past!

Therefore, all the bows and arrows in the generals were concentrated, and the number was not enough, so in the past few days, a batch of "one-time" bows and arrows were urgently made with spare bowstrings, and they wanted to use 60,000 archers to shoot against the Tiance army, and they had 200,000 troops under their command, and they could still gather 200,000 troops on the grassland, so they used this life-for-life method to defeat the Tiance army!

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun continued to fall, echoing with the lead bullets and cannons that were whistling by, forming a strange picture.

The belligerents did not back down, and huge casualties began to spread between the two armies.

However, although the casualties on the side of the Tiance Army were not small, they were far smaller than those of the Tatars.

The officers and men of the Tiance Army not only have the protection of the defensive line, but also wear armor on all members, and they have achieved the ultimate in protection, so at this time, the casualties of the army are still within the bearable range, and the officers and soldiers of all departments are still calmly responding to the battle.

The Tatar army, which was continuing to fire a salvo, began to waver, and tens of thousands of troops were already suffering heavy casualties under the suppression of intensive firepower, and artillery continued to fall, sweeping through the large army formation, leaving only flesh and blood alleys.

And the stormy buckshot washed the phalanx of the army over and over again, and the soldiers of the Tatar tribe were like sand dunes, constantly washed and thinned, and the shadow of death enveloped everyone in the phalanx.

In the rear, Xiaolai and Liu Juntao almost frowned.

Liu Juntao never expected that he would have such courage to shoot at the Tiance army led by himself, and he was also surprised that the Tatar army had not broken up until now.

"This man unknowingly invented the method of queuing and shooting, but they used bows and arrows!"

Liu Juntao was shocked and sighed in his heart: "The will and combat power of these Tatar soldiers and horses are already comparable to the Manchu Eight Banners of later generations, no!" At this time, the Tatar Department was far stronger than the Manchu Eight Banners, not only with more troops, but also with stronger combat power! ”

"So, this battle must be defeated!"

At the same time, he was also shocked, he had been stunned by the spectacular and bloody scene in front of him, and at the same time, his heart was also dripping with blood, especially when he saw the soldiers on the battlefield falling, it was like a knife twisting, and his heart was painful.

However, I know that we must not retreat at this time, otherwise those soldiers and horses will die in vain, and we must hold on!

In this way, Liu Juntao and Xiao Lai were staring at the front, and the two armies were still fighting hard, until after a stick of incense, at least 10,000 of the 60,000 Tatar army fell in a pool of blood, and the two phalanxes of the army could no longer be maintained, and began to gradually collapse.

Seeing this, he immediately shouted: "The army in the middle of the road will attack immediately!" Rush up! ”

After receiving the order, the 40,000 troops in the middle of the road, who had been waiting in the back, immediately launched an attack and rushed towards the defense line of the Tiance army, while the remaining 50,000 Tatar archers who were beginning to rout miraculously stabilized their positions, and even under the drive of reinforcements, a high ~ tide broke out, and they continued to fire volleys with all their might.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao couldn't help sneering, and said, "The divine machine gun truck is ready to defeat the Tartars for me!" ”

Hu Dexing, the chief military officer of Shandong Town next to him, couldn't wait, and immediately shouted: "Shenji gun truck!" Put! ”

"Put!"

After a loud noise, I saw that more than ten white smoke suddenly rose from all parts of the defense line of the Fuyu River, and countless flaming arrows rushed into the sky, and then smashed into the Tatar army that was attacking the mountain.

Unlike human arrows, these rockets were more powerful and long-range, and could often pierce several people with a single rocket, plunging the Tatar army into chaos.

Moreover, these god machine gun trucks were reloaded very quickly, there were almost no gaps, and the continuous firing, coupled with the salvo of tens of thousands of bird gunners on the defensive line, suddenly caused the Tatar army to be killed and wounded, and the tens of thousands of archers collapsed on the spot, screaming and fleeing to the rear.

Having lost the cover of the archers, more than 30,000 Tatar soldiers and horses who were attacking the mountain also stopped and began to flee one after another.

Seeing this, he also sighed, ordered the army to retreat immediately, and sent the only thousands of heavy armor guards around him to break the queen.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao had the heart to test the strength of the thousands of heavily armored guards, but seeing that although the Tatar army under the mountain was defeated, it still did not disperse, and the Tatar battalion still had 100,000 troops without moving, so he gave up this plan, so as not to let the Tatar army back.

On the same day, the remnants of the army were gathered and returned to the camp to defend it, and Liu Juntao also continued to stick to the defense line of Fuyuchuan.

In this battle, the Tatar army lost more than 18,000 people, and more than 1,700 soldiers of the Tiance army were killed.

In the next few days, they were all unable to hold out, and Liu Juntao continued to send iron cavalry to harass them, while monitoring the movements of the Tatar army.
