Chapter 307: All-out Attack
Don't think that those shields will affect the sight of these horses if they block the horse's head, these horses are completely dependent on the rider's cāo, even if the shield is in front of the horse's head, it will not have any effect
The riders stopped in front of the obstacle made of the branches, and then threw from behind their shields more than twenty iron anchors with ropes, and the riders began to turn their horses and run back, and the anchors fell on the branches and hooked the branches, which were opened by the twenty horsemen in a large gap
Of course, Wu Dashan, such an archer, was not idle, arrows like raindrops fell on the opponent's attacking team, and from time to time someone was 'shot' off the horse and let out a scream, and then was trampled on by the 'chaotic' horse without a sound
The large group of men and horses following behind the ancient cavalry shouted and killed after dragging the branches of the defense away at the outpost, and Wu Dashan saw that the defense was torn apart, and the soldiers also pushed several carriages to the top of the gap, and thanks to the uphill slope. The impact speed of the Mongolian ancient cavalry is not fast, but it has also attacked the gap, the soldiers on both sides are fighting desperately, the soldiers on the other side are all big guys, and when they see that they can't get in on horseback, they simply dismount and kill inside, looking at the white-hot battle killed at the gap, I looked in the other direction and didn't find anything abnormal, is it that Zhang Juzheng and I guessed wrong, the other party will not sneak attack from the side, but it's not right, so many of their people and horses will not be waiting for these dead to finish and then top up, they will not be so stupid
We were on the top of the mountain, nervously following the development of the battle situation, Wang Qianhu was even more anxious, looking at Ge Qianhu who was fighting with the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry below, and said enviously: "Lao Ge can open meat today, shouting every day to kill the Tartars, this time you can kill enough."
I also understand his mood, soldiers like real battles, if it is really others are fighting, I really can't stand it, I said to Wang Qianhu: "Wang Qianhu, don't worry, I estimate that the hard time is behind, I'm afraid your task is more arduous than theirs", in fact, it is to comfort him, no one knows whether the 'Mongolian' ancients will fight from somewhere else
"Lord Lan doesn't know when the 'Meng' ancients will attack from the flank, if they don't come, I will go and help General Wu and Lao Ge here, you just watch them," Wang Qianhu said as he couldn't hold back his emotions and slapped his armor with a knife
"Wang Qianhu, look at the blue 'colored' wolf smoke," one soldier shouted
Wang Qianhu and I also stopped talking, and as we moved north, a thin blue 'color' wolf smoke rose from a distance
"Lord Lan, the other party is going to sneak attack from the west, I will take people down to serve them, I haven't drunk human blood for a long time, and I am thirsty for Hu Lu blood today," After speaking, he took the remaining hundred people and walked down to the west mountain bag
I wanted to tell him that the other party hadn't come yet, and if I went down earlier, the other party found out that we were prepared and would change the direction of the attack, but unfortunately Wang Qianhu was too anxious, and he didn't give me a chance to speak, so he led people away and rushed down
Looking at his back, Zhang Juzheng said: "It's still unstable, Yunjie, you said that if the other party finds out that Wang Qianhu is ready to take a detour to attack somewhere else, how will we deal with it?"
"Teacher, when the other party comes to sneak attack, you must not be able to ride a horse; Only the infantry can avoid our sight, they were supposed to attack from the west, and now seeing that the west is ready, they may attack from somewhere else, and now there are only about thirty soldiers on the south and east sides, and if they are really attacked, it may be dangerous."
"Yes, if the other side attacks from all sides, after all, they have more troops than us."
"Then the trouble comes, we have four teams here, there are only about fifty people, one side can only go to two teams, if the opponent's troops are not much, it's okay, if the opponent's troops are too much, I'm afraid it will still be low, or I'll go and inform General Wu and let him pay attention to this side."
"Forget it, General Wu's side is fighting, Wang Qianhu's side will let him go down, where are you taking these four teams of men and horses to the southeast corner now, bluffing so that they don't dare to rashly sneak attack, and in the southeast corner, you can take care of both directions."
"Teacher, then I'll go down, you should pay attention to safety on the top of the mountain," after I took people away, Zhang Juzheng was the only one on the top of the mountain, although he could see the overall situation, but there were no soldiers in his hands, and there was no way to change the status quo
"me, it's okay, you guys stand up down there, I'll be fine"
I came to the southeast corner with four groups of soldiers who formed a temporary Mandarin Duck Formation, and the soldiers who were stationed here looked at us and asked curiously, "Why are you carrying small trees to fight?"
"You don't understand this, Qi Jiguang, Qi Dashuai knows, it is this that defeated the Japanese Kou, and today our Lan people are going to use this to defeat the cavalry of the 'Mongolian' ancients."
"This thing can defeat the cavalry of the 'Meng' ancients, don't you believe it's the same as a joke, this is a battlefield, no jokes, brother, I see that you are not young, you still go to protect Lord Lan, there are our brothers here to watch, and I promise not to let the 'Mongolian' ancients enter."
The soldier obviously looked down on Lao Liu, and even more down on our group of rabble, so he said this, and Lao Liu wanted to refute him: "Forget it, Brother Liu, save some effort, now everyone is scattered, there are bows and arrows for me to pay attention to, and if you find that there is wind and grass there, give 'shooting', don't pity the bow and arrow, and you Beijing troops are now staring at me, and after a while, the 'Meng' ancients will come over, and no one can give me carelessness."
As soon as I shouted like this, all those Beijing troops looked at me with contemptuous eyes, and some of them were still muttering: "I am also a military ignorant and blindly commanding, and now the 'Mongolian' ancients are attacking head-on, and they will attack from this place."
"That's right, brother, I think this Lan Daren is also a nerd, probably because he has read too many military books, you look at the trees and grass outside, how can the cavalry of the ancients attack from here, alas, these civil officials don't know how to pretend to understand, and they also come to mix up with this war."
Although I can hear it and know that they are consciously speaking to me, I still don't want to say anything more to them, facts speak louder than words, and when they verify my words, I won't say so, but the old Liu father and son next to me couldn't hold back and wanted to go to those soldiers to theorize, so I stopped them with my hands
After waiting for half a pillar of incense, the 'Meng' ancients finally came, first Wang Qianhu then sounded the sound of shouting and killing, and then we also found traces of the 'Meng' ancients, they approached with infantry, so when we arrived, we found that we were 'shot' by our archers, and it looked back that the other party was surrounded on all sides, so we didn't care
Wang Qianhu's side is also the focus of the attack of the 'Meng' ancients, and we finally have more than a dozen 'Mongolian' ancients rushed to the defensive line, but before they crossed those obstacles, they were 'shot' to death by the archers, the battle lasted for half an hour, the more and more 'Mongolian' ancients on our side gathered, there were already more than a dozen 'Mongolian' ancients broke through the defense line, and thanks to this mandarin duck formation, we didn't have any casualties, but the defensive area was too long, a little bit of a loss, so it was broken through
The battle has entered a white-hot situation, we don't know that there are more than 300 'Mongolian' ancients attacking on our side alone, and we add up to just over 100 people, with the cover of the mandarin duck formation, we can withstand the opponent's attack, but there are still casualties, I command the soldiers here to resist the 'Mongolian' ancients, and I have to look back at Zhang Juzheng on the top of the mountain, in order to prevent individual 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry from breaking through the defense to sneak attack Zhang Juzheng
In the face of three times the enemy's attack, our side did not retreat, but thanks to Liu Jinhu, they will all have martial arts, coupled with the cooperation of the mandarin duck tactics, killing the enemy is very interested, breaking through the 'Meng' ancients, many of them were killed on the ground by them, my family members are more powerful than Liu Jinhu, the only flaw is that they have no armor, two eunuchs were 'shot' by the archers of the 'Meng' ancients, and had to withdraw from the battle, the mandarin duck formation lost its effect, they had to fight separately, but their kung fu is good, the other party's those who did not ride horses' The Mongolian ancients still had no difficulty, don't look at the Mongolian ancients were three times as many as ours, and they didn't get much benefit under our strong resistance
The only regret is that the Mandarin Duck Formation composed of Zhang Juzheng's family is not a soldier, because some family members fainted when they saw the blood, and almost did not play any role, they were killed by the 'Meng' ancients, and we lost more than 30 on our side, and the other party died as many as fifty or sixty, and now it is a stalemate stage, and those who entered were also driven out by us, and some were simply killed by us in the defensive circle, and after attacking for an hour without effect. The Meng' ancients stopped the attack and retreated into the woods, and I quickly arranged for the soldiers to treat the wounded, Lao Liu walked up to me with a saber that was still dripping blood, and said: "The young master had a good time killing today, or you will leave me at the border pass."
"What's the matter, Brother Liu, you also want to come and make contributions, don't you think that the 'Mongolian' ancients are all straw bales?"
"The young master used to say 'Meng', how powerful the ancients were, isn't it the same when I see it today, there is nothing powerful, just like us, it also has two eyes and a head, there is nothing special."
"Brother Liu, you are wrong, the 'Meng' ancients are not straw bales, this is our geographical advantage, you see, if you fight with them on horseback in the plains, it is estimated that Brother Liu, you would have been cut down by them a long time ago, they are good at attacking immediately, and now we are making them give up, and immediately changed to infantry, so their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly, so Brother Liu, you have to underestimate the enemy, and you should be careful when you encounter the cavalry of the 'Mongolian' ancients in the future."
