Chapter 13: The King of Land Warfare
Two days later, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Xiong left the city gate with 2,500 Han troops.
"Victory~"
"Hope to win again."
Full of the expectations of tens of thousands of Han people in Jinzhou, Chen Xiong is getting farther and farther away from the city.
In addition to the more than 100 personal guards under the command, the three front armies totaled 2,500 people. Of these, 2,000 were scarecrows and 500 were wooden men. The five hundred wooden men all armed with four-meter long spears, they were the first shield against the Tartar iron cavalry charge. In addition to steel knives, the Han army also carried three short spears on their backs to resist the cavalry's cavalry.
According to the Ranger Survey, 3,000 cavalry reinforcements from Fuzhou have entered the territory of Jinzhou. They did not advance or retreat, presumably waiting for Sheng Jing's order and the follow-up crusade army.
Jinzhou was lost, and Sheng Jing was furious, and Emperor Taiji fainted to death in anger. The yellow banner lost 1,500 elite soldiers, and the banner owner Haoge was furious and set out with more than 6,000 iron cavalry. Later, Dolgon and the other kings also let Ah Min, the owner of the Blue Banner, follow with six thousand iron horsemen.
Fuzhou is located in the central part and has a small number of troops. However, in order to facilitate the support of the Jinzhou coastal defense front, 3,000 of the 5,000 people in Fuzhou were cavalry. Among them, the real Tartars are 1,000, and the traitor cavalry is 2,000.
Now the three thousand iron cavalry are guarding the Hulu Mountain at the exit of Jinzhou, just to cut off the Jinzhou Han army from attacking Fuzhou. There are a large number of Tartar villages in Haizhou, Fuzhou, and the Tartars are also afraid of the invasion and slaughter of the Han army.
"Commander Ezhen, nearly 3,000 Han troops have left the city."
"Okay, it's just in time." General Fuzhou is a belly of anger, the Jinzhou Tartars who also belong to Huang Taiji were destroyed, how could he not be angry. The Manchus were divided into eight banners, and the Khan commanded the three banners, and after Nurhachi's death, the relationship between the upper three banners and the remaining five banners became a potential adversary. If it was Dorgon's men who died, he would probably have been happy to tear his enemies apart.
The Han army defeated their Manchurian warriors in the mountains and forests, not on the plains. For the confidence of the Jurchens in riding and shooting, the arrogant Jurchen Tartars went directly out of the camp, preparing to wipe out the Han army on the plain.
Boom~boom~~
Three thousand iron horsemen, and twelve thousand horses' hooves trampled the earth mightily.
"Here, array, pikemen out." The high energy in front is coming, and there is no enemy in sight, and a killing intent has been spread.
"The cavalry is really the king of land warfare in the era of cold weapons, and this formation is very shocking from afar." Chen Xiong even questioned whether he would lose this one?
Smoke billowed in the distance, and the ground shook. The wooden scarecrow still looked faintly ahead, as if it was just a flock of sheep coming in front of him.
The calmness of the three front armies made Chen Xiong feel at ease for a while, and then sneered: "Hehe, the soldiers are not afraid, how can I, the general, be afraid." But then I had to recuperate! ”
The sharp spears and stable formation made the Fuzhou commander have to give up the direct impact.
"Let your people, test it."
The traitor commander Su immediately responded: "It's the general." ”
Soon, a hundred cavalry came out of the ranks.
The equipment of the Tartars is really good, although it is not as exaggerated as the layers of armor of the Tartars, but the traitors also wear it: the inner and outer layers of leather armor are sandwiched between the chain mail, and in addition to the saber, they are also equipped with bows and arrows.
Rack ~ Rack ~~
A hundred cavalry began to charge, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
For the hundred cavalry, Chen Xiong did not pay attention to it at all.
"Wooden spears on the front, ready."
"It's the lord." The scarecrow of Mu Ne did not forget to respond loudly.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters, the distance is getting closer and closer.
Phew~Hoo~~
As soon as the traitor cavalry pulled the horse rope, the war horse jumped up, and then turned around and ran to the side.
"None of the Han people are afraid, these Han troops are really different! There is a reason why the yellow flag is defeated! "General Fuzhou, staring at the Han army, tried to find the enemy's weakness.
Watching the cavalry go to the right, Chen Xiong smiled: "Sure enough, it's a temptation." ”
The traitor cavalry ran around and returned to the team, and the Fuzhou general frowned and ordered: "You bring a bull to go up, remember not to rush, but to shoot." ”
"Yes, Commander Ezhen, you will be optimistic." Commander Niu Lu looked at the other leaders triumphantly, and then it was time for him to show his might.
"Haha, rush me~"
"Scare them first."
"Haha, good~" the Tartars shouted happily, they liked this kind of charging and slashing the most.
The tartar is wrapped in several thick layers of mixed armor, including iron armor and leather armor and cotton armor learned from the Ming Dynasty. From a distance, it is very majestic and terrifying, and it is worthy of being able to scare the soul of the Ming army.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters ~
"Haha kill~"
Commander Niu Lu brandished his axe and shouted excitedly.
"Spear ready, gun throwing." Chen Xiong, who was in the crowd, ordered lightly.
"It's the lord."
The outer wooden people stuck the tail of the spear obliquely into the earth, using the earth to reduce the impact of the war horse. Hundreds of scarecrows also raised their throwing guns, ready to shoot. In order to teach the wooden man and the scarecrow, Chen Xiong also wasted a lot of time.
The dense sound of horse footsteps startled a lot of smoke and dust, and the second half of the three hundred cavalry began to be hazy.
"Change the bow."
As soon as the sword, axe, mace, and mace hung on the horse, the Tartar grabbed the bow and arrow with both hands.
"Shot~"
"Shot~~"
The two armies fired almost simultaneously, the rain of arrows was dense and swift, and the rain of short spears was empty and mighty.
Huh~~ Shoot arrows and collect bows, turn the horse's head, and the Tartar shows off his superb equestrian skills again.
At a distance of forty meters, the Tartar in front of him had already turned his horse's head, but the short spear also followed.
Blood splattered, and when I saw the tip of the iron spear on my chest, the thick-armored tartar could only fall weakly.
Rumble~
"Woo~" people and horses fell one after another, causing even greater traffic accidents.
"Damn it, get out!" Commander Niu Lu's heart was dripping blood, and this wave of full-score operations actually lost dozens of subordinates!
The Tartars returned to the main army in a low voice, which made the traitor cavalry feel nervous, and it seemed that this was a tough battle.
"Commander Ezhen, please punish!"
General Fuzhou held a horsewhip and looked coldly at the Commander Niu Lu on the ground, he really wanted to whip him to death a few times. Tell him to test, the enemy did not fall a few, but he suffered heavy losses.
"Go back and settle the score." The war will begin, and General Fuzhou can only hold back his anger for the time being.
After staring at the Han army for a moment, the Tartar commander finally couldn't help but order: "Commander Su, let all your people attack, and let me scatter these Han people." I will kill the Han army today, and I will let the Han people know the power of the Manchurian iron cavalry. ”
"Yes, Commander Ezhen." Commander Su's heart ached, and it seemed that he had to suffer heavy losses today.
Two thousand cavalry were scattered and lined up, and the Soviet commander immediately made the final mobilization. The commander had an order: "Kill a Han army, reward a slave, kill three Han soldiers and reward a female slave." ”
Slave ~ Slave Girl ~~
Especially when they heard the word slave girl, the mortal cavalry at the forefront couldn't help but blush.
"The Jurchen (Manchurian) iron cavalry is invincible in the world, attack..."
Rumble~~
Rack ~ frame frame ~~~ The traitor army excitedly snapped the war horse, and getting slaves and slaves was their most yearning for the life of the little nobles.
The ground began to tremble and tremble, and the smoke and dust grew larger and larger.
"Dam, sure enough, the cavalry is more powerful and handsome." From this moment on, Chen Xiong was extremely looking forward to forming his own cavalry unit.
"Kill~"
Kill~~
The earth-shattering cry shook the Han army, which responded with hundreds of short spears.
Rumbling~~ Countless big horse heads are already close at hand, and the fiercest battle will begin.
