Chapter 162: Killing Machine
When Ah Shan pulled his horse back dozens of meters at the fastest speed, a round earth-shattering thunder exploded in the position where he was originally standing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A total of six earth-shattering thunderbolts successfully exploded, and in a dazzling flash of fire and an explosion that shattered the eardrums, nearly 100 Jurchen cavalrymen who could not escape were blown apart and went to hell on the spot.
More than 60 other cavalrymen were wounded, and these blackened and bloody men, in a pile of charred human and horse corpses, crawled around screaming, and gradually stopped moving.
Ah Shan, who fled at the front, was lucky to be blocked by the cavalry behind the roaring fragments and narrowly escaped with his life, while his nephew Chata beside him, although he also escaped, was severely cut by a sharp fragment on his leg, and blood flowed from his calf.
Ah Shan was afraid that Li Xiaojun would attack again, so he didn't dare to stop for a while, and fled back with the cavalry for hundreds of meters before he gasped and stopped the horse's hooves.
Li Xiaojun's fierce explosion swept away the arrogance on Ah Shan's face, and it was replaced by a panic and shock.
Where did this Ming army come from, and why is it so powerful?
Ah Shan, who was still ringing in his ears, his mind was in a mess, this kind of huge change from a strong man who had always decided the life and death of others to a weak man who could be slaughtered by others made his soul feel torn.
"Amu, what should I do, this Ming army's earth-shaking thunder is so powerful, it's better for our army to withdraw." The nephew Chata on the side, the fierce aura in his eyes had also been lost, and his voice was a little trembling when he asked.
Do you really want to retreat here?
It's an indescribable shame!
No, it can't be withdrawn, this Ming army only relies on the advantage of firearms, so that it can take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to successfully attack our army. If the army under his command can quickly rush through the coverage of the Ming army's firearms, and strangle with the soldiers on the opposite side, so that their firearms cannot be released, then the final winner must be the elite Houjin army in a hundred battles!
"Pass my order, all the cavalry retreat, and join the infantry coming from behind, and then, the whole army will attack, and we will definitely destroy this damned Ming army with one drum and avenge the dead Eight Banner warriors!" Ahsan gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Huh!"
Looking at the group of Jurchen cavalry rolling away, Li Xiao, who was surrounded by a circle of flying harriers, put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand with a calm face.
The choice to ambush the besieging Tartars here was a decision made by Li Xiao, who had always been cautious, after repeated consideration.
Because of the light cavalry sent out, it was soon discovered that the Tartars had also sent a lot of sentinel cavalry, so Li Xiaojun's cavalry did not dare to get too close to reconnoiter in order to avoid being exposed. Because it was impossible to know the exact number of enemy troops, Li Xiao could only take a safe approach, divide the shares to lure the enemy, and then destroy them separately.
The Tartars were used to running rampant in Liaoxi, and they didn't expect that the Ming army would dare to ambush them, so they carelessly fell into an ambush.
Li Xiao just gave the order, covering with the front of the infantry, and quietly throwing the fire thunder, that is, he had the intention of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, intending to blow up the Jurchen general wearing stainless steel armor in one fell swoop among the cavalry that rushed forward, then it would be much easier to destroy the leaderless Houjin enemy army of the dragons.
It's just that I didn't expect this enemy general to react so quickly, and when he saw the earth-shattering thunder flying in, he could escape so quickly, which is a powerful character.
Li Xiao sighed in his heart, the projection speed of this trebuchet is still too slow compared to the artillery, so that the enemy can still have enough time to escape, if there are flowering shells, all of your Tartars killed by heaven will be killed on the spot!
At this time, the soldiers and generals next to him were full of regret on their faces.
"Damn, before we could fight a battle, we let this dog Tartar escape!" Chifeng's chief Tian said with a snort.
Li Xiao glanced at him and said lightly: "Tian Wei, don't be in a hurry, this official dares to predict, the blow just now only hurt the Tartar, but they haven't scared him yet, they will definitely go back to gather troops and fight to the death with our army." ”
"Why are you so sure?"
Li Xiao had a smile on his face, and he said slowly: "The enemy army is arrogant, and he thinks that he is invincible in Liaodong. Today, Leng Bu suffered a big loss here, and this field, I have to get it back if I say anything. ”
Li Xiao paused, and then said: "Now, our army's sentry cavalry has detected that there are still 1,500 Tartar infantry behind them, and they are rushing here. ”
Tian Wei sneered: "It's ridiculous that the tartar wants to come back to the field, but our army wants to completely break his dog's teeth!" ”
Li Xiao snorted and said in a low voice: "Not only did he break his dog teeth, but our army will swallow all these 2,000 Tartar soldiers into his stomach!" Otherwise, there is no way to show the might of our army! ”
About half an hour later, nearly 2,000 Tartar soldiers finally arrived.
Ah Shan looked at the battle formation of Li Xiaojun, which was as straight as a line on the opposite side, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, if the Ming army in Liaodong is such a strong army, our army will not talk about invasion, I am afraid that it will be based on self-protection, and it will not be easy.
"Ah Mou, you said that this Ming army is so powerful, so let me go and meet him for a while to see if they are silver-like wax spearheads." A muscular man with a large gold ring on his ear, a tattoo on his forehead, and a rough and rough voice whispered to Ah Shan's side.
This person is Adahai's second son, that is, Ah Shan's second nephew Mo Luohun.
Just now, he led the infantry behind, and did not see Li Xiaojun's earth-shattering thunderous blow, although he listened to his brother Chata's description, he was very unconvinced.
"Just you?" Ah Shan glanced at Mo Luohun coldly: "Mo Luohun, this is not a place of fighting spirit, and listen to my orders, you must destroy the Ming army on the opposite side in one fell swoop!" ”
"Huh!" Mo Luohun pursed his lips fiercely, and his masseter muscles burst out.
In order to rush over to engage Li Xiao's army as soon as possible, so as to reduce the possibility of Li Xiao's army's firearms attacking, Ah Shan did not let the horseless followers release arrows first, as he used in the past, but directly ordered the infantry to charge into battle.
He waved the flag, the swan trumpet sounded, and 1,500 Tartar infantry formed a semi-circular shock formation and concentrated their forces on the left flank of Li Xiao's gun and shield battle array.
The number of spears and shields of Li Xiao's army was about three times the number of Tartars, so the Tartars took all their strength to attack one wing of Li Xiaojun's army, hoping to break through a little, and the rest of the Ming army would collapse by itself, such a trick that had been tried and tested many times.
At a distance of about 200 paces from Li Xiaojun, 1,500 Tartar soldiers, led by dozens of white-armored soldiers in three-layer armor, let out a beastly howl and rushed towards the left flank of Li Xiaojun's spear and shield battle array.
These Tartars were of astonishing strength and ran so fast that almost instantly, they rushed to a distance of one hundred and fifty paces.
"Bang bang 。。。。。"
On the left flank of the gun and shield battle array, a dense sound of fire suddenly sounded, thick and choking white smoke rose into the air, and a row of black Lumi guns faintly appeared a bright red flying fire curtain. Among the fifty Lumi guns, forty-seven were fired, and forty-seven small three-coin heavy lead bullets, with a scream of death, densely rushed towards the dozens of white-armored soldiers at the front of the formation.
The seven white-armored soldiers who rushed to the front, with strings of blood on their chests, looked at their chests with shocked faces, as if they were still wondering what kind of powerful firearms could penetrate their three layers of armor at such a distance.
They felt that in their originally powerful bodies, a huge pain spread in all directions, but their strength was rapidly draining, and they held throwing weapons such as throwing axes, throwing spears, and thistle terrestris bones in their hands, as if they were no longer able to grasp them, but fell to the ground together with their own soft bodies.
Several wounded white-armored soldiers tried to get back on their feet, but they were trampled into a flattened flesh by the countless soles of the Tartar soldiers who stepped on them one after another.
This time, a total of twenty-eight Tartars were killed and wounded, including twelve white-armored soldiers.
"Rush over and entangle the dog, and it will be a victory!" Ah Shan, who was in the back of the battle, had blood-red eyes and shouted loudly.
A group of charging Tartar infantry erupted into an almost frenzied shout, speeding up the speed of charging towards Li Xiaojun.
When the Tartars ran to the left flank of the spear and shield battle formation, only fifty paces, the 50 Rumi guns were fired for the second time, and all of them were fired.
Including the thirteen white-armored soldiers who rushed to the front, a total of thirty-six Tartars were beaten by Lu Mi and were either killed or wounded.
Subsequently, Lu Mi's hand quickly withdrew back from the spear and shield battle array, and at the same time, Ah Shan, who was in the distance, saw that with the banner of the Ming army on the opposite side, the gun and shield battle array, which had been standing still, began to divide into two sections like a broken earthworm from the right third.
The long section on the left, like a python, began to curl from one end, and began to wrap around from one side, as if trying to involve all the more than 1,400 Tartars.
The short one quickly ran forward, and in front of the curled spear and shield soldiers, rearranged into a row of spear and shield battle arrays, Ah Shan understood that this section of spear and shield battle arrays was to cover the backs of those spear and shield soldiers, and to prevent his own cavalry from rushing from behind the spear and shield soldiers.
Ah Shan couldn't help but admire in his heart, this uneven Ming army was simply a sophisticated and neat killing machine, such a tight fit, not giving himself the slightest chance of tactical arrangement, can be called the most powerful opponent Ah Shan has ever encountered.
"Boom!"
Almost instantly, more than 1,400 Tartar soldiers lined up in a semi-circular impact formation collided fiercely with Li Xiao's left-wing spear and shield battle array.
These Tartar soldiers were immediately surrounded by a ring of curled spear and shield soldiers, and there was no way to get out.
The sound of slashing, shouting, screaming, the clanging of swords, the thud of slashing shields, the dull popping of spears piercing into the human body, immediately rang out,
Seeing that his own soldiers had successfully rushed into the Ming army's formation, Ah Shan, who was watching the battle from a distance, looked a little relaxed on his face, but soon, his face tensed again.
He saw that the spear and shield soldiers of the Ming army, which surrounded his infantry in a ring, were extremely strict and orderly, and the four-meter stainless steel spears with sharp rods were trembling like dragons, flying and dancing thorns, and a Tartar soldier who was unprepared screamed and was assassinated under the spear.
Of course, the strong Jurchen soldiers under their own command are all elites of a hundred battles, and in the case of being attacked from all sides, they can still stick to each other's backs, rely on each other, and bravely slash and kill the Ming army that is constantly surrounding, and from time to time the Ming army screams and dies under the blade of the Houjin army.
However, Ahsan was surprised and angry to see that the casualty exchange ratio between the enemy and the enemy quickly tilted in favor of the Ming army, and basically, for every three to four deaths of his own soldiers, he could kill a shield or spearman of the Ming army.
Ah Shan was originally full of hope to defeat the opposing Ming army in one fell swoop, but now, his hopes have been completely dashed, and in his place, there is unspeakable remorse.
"Amu, our infantry is not fighting effectively, please send cavalry to rescue quickly, otherwise the infantry will be wiped out by the combined attack of the Ming army on the opposite side!" Chata whispered anxiously from the side.
Ah Shan's lips opened, and before he could speak, he immediately noticed that the enemy army had made a new move.
The small group of spear and shield soldiers, with neat steps, rushed from the front, towards Ashan's cavalry troops, and quickly strode in unison.
The two heavy infantry on both sides of the spear and shield battle array, like mecha warriors, also increased their speed, attacking their own cavalry team from the left and right sides.
And in the farthest distance, the three hundred heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army who were arranged in a wedge-shaped battle formation began to trot and accelerate, and the black wedge tips pointed directly at their own positions!
After the heavy cavalry, there were more than 200 light cavalry, lined up in a scattered formation, and followed at a distance. Ah Shan knew that these light cavalry were undoubtedly waiting for the heavy cavalry and those infantry to crush their own cavalry team, and then they would attack with all their strength and kill the routs in order to expand the results of the battle.
At this moment, Ah Shan admired the Ming army general who was guarded by more than a hundred light cavalry on the opposite side.
can coordinate the foot and ride and practice to such a level of proficiency and tacit understanding, which is definitely a famous general in the world!
"Pass on my military order, bypass the Ming pikemen and heavy infantry in front, concentrate your forces, and hedge with the enemy's heavy cavalry!" In the face of the Ming troops rushing rapidly from everywhere, Ah Shan gritted his teeth and ordered.
After all, his only advantage now is that he relies on the number of cavalry to be more than Li Xiaojun's heavy cavalry, and only by first defeating Li Xiaojun's heavy cavalry, and then cutting down those Ming light cavalry who are waiting to pursue and kill the routs like hyenas, can he take advantage of his speed and maneuverability, and then shoot and kill the spear and shield soldiers and heavy armored infantry of Li Xiaojun's army who surrounded and rushed to him.
The horse's hooves rumbled, and when there were still about fifty paces away from the Tartar cavalry that was hing, Li Xiaojun's Xuanhu heavy cavalry had fully accelerated, and a black lightning bolt appeared in the huge wedge-shaped battle formation, which burst out fiercely from the Tartar cavalry battle formation that was also arranged in a wedge-shaped formation!
The cavalry hedged, in the moment of life and death, the competition was purely a bloody courage and a fierce spirit that was not afraid of death, and this point, Li Xiaojun's heavy cavalry and the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side can be called equal.
However, there are two other points that are the most important for cavalry hedging, one is to see who has better armor, and the other is to see who can fully accelerate first.
The Xuanhu heavy cavalry, which was full of fine iron armor, had fully accelerated to the speed of the charge, and the terrifying impact was completely incomparable to the Jurchen cavalry, which had not fully accelerated at all and had much weaker armor.
Bao Zhao, the sentry commander of the Xuanhu heavy cavalry sentry, turned the horse's head ostentatiously after coming out of the formation, and he was dripping with blood on his face, smiling and seeing the wide bloody path that his Xuanhu heavy cavalry plowed out of the enemy formation, it was like appreciating a perfect work of performance art.
This wedge-shaped battle formation was successfully assaulted, causing a total of more than 200 Tartar cavalry to be killed and wounded, while the Xuanhu heavy cavalry only had more than 30 cavalry killed and wounded.
Mo Luohun was stabbed through the abdomen by a sharp cavalry spear, the cavalry immediately threw the cavalry spear, Mo Luohun screamed and fell off the horse, he with a long cavalry spear in his abdomen, like a wasp that was pierced through the body by a toothpick, so painful that he kept rolling on the ground, and the big gold ring on his ears did not know where to grind off, several Tartar cavalry could not dodge, the heavy horse's hooves stepped on his chest, only a slight porphyry sound was heard, and Mo Luohun whose chest was flattened did not move.
After the gold lord general Ah Shan, although under the desperate protection of his subordinates, dodged the sharp impact of Li Xiaojun's heavy cavalry this wedge formation, but he was also shot in the thigh, blood spurted out wildly, and the huge pain made him almost fall off the horse, but fortunately Chata was on the side and hurriedly held on.
'Amu, Molohun 。。。。。。 Chatta's face was full of grief and indignation, and his muscles trembled.
"Don't say it, withdraw, withdraw!" Ah Shan, who was pale, had a heart like a knife, but he didn't have time to be sentimental again, so he immediately ordered weakly.
It's late.
Three hundred spear and shield soldiers, and four hundred rampaging infantry, almost at the same time shouted and rushed over, firmly surrounding the remaining 200 Tartar cavalry in the center, and immediately began to slash and kill!
