Text Chapter 117 The Ancient Expedition of a Few People Back 5

Ma Rulong led the bamboo spearmen, originally trained 300 soldiers, with iron spearheads, but after knowing that there were thousands of Yuan cavalry to join the battlefield, Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi and others discussed, and decided to organize more than 300 soldiers, take hardwood, sharpen one end, and make a simple wooden gun, the length of the gun is eight steps away. All of them are assigned to Ma Rulong's department, which is specially used to resist the Yuan Qi.

The reason for doing this is that there is no longer a suitable billet in Linqu City!

Mingxiong temporarily served as the chief general of the bamboo spearmen, and urgently led two soldiers to rush to the direction of the Yuan cavalry's charge, this area is not as muddy as Wan Jinhai, after all, there are no ditches and streams here, and water cannot be diverted.

It was followed by more than two hundred archers, carrying a large number of homemade arrows and longbows.

There were also several large carts that came with Mingxiong, and the cars were loaded with large baskets, which were tightly covered with tarpaulins.

With the continuous acceleration of the Yuan Cavalry on the opposite side, the earth began to tremble, and the rows of Yuan Cavalry gradually became clear in front of him, and the dust that was half a day high gradually rose after the riding formation.

The first Yuan cavalry Baihu gave an order, and the Yuan cavalry in the front row lowered their spears flat, and the tips of the spears were shining, pointing straight ahead. The Yuan Riders in the back rows also moved.

"Ready, axe throwing!" Yuan Jun Baihu shouted loudly, and he felt a sharp hand axe in his own bag, he held the spear in one hand and the hand axe in the other, and began to accumulate strength, ready to throw.

Yuan rode with crossbows and hand axes, and when they were in battle, they either shot or threw them, often dealing heavy blows to their opponents before the two armies met. Because the hand axe is easy to use, and it is heavy and sharp, and the effect of armor and shield breaking is very good, and many Yuan Riders are willing to use it.

At this time, the Yuan Cavalry is charging rapidly, and as long as there are fifty more steps, you can give full play to the terrifying killing effect of the hand axe!

Fifty steps, almost a few breaths, Yuan Qi Baihu was already looking forward to the chaos of the enemy's heavy casualties.

"Steady, don't panic! Don't panic! Ma Rulong shouted loudly, and encouraged his subordinates together with several hundred households and the general banner. At this time, some foot soldiers had already carried down the baskets on the car one by one and lined them up behind the formation, and at the same time, more than a dozen braziers had been ready to stop at intervals, and the charcoal fire inside had already been lit.

When the Yuan Cavalry entered the eighty steps, Mingxiong waved his hand and ordered: "Ignite the fire, throw!" ”

Nearly a hundred soldiers with the most outstanding arm strength took out bags of silk packages from the baskets, and the leads on them had already been twisted into a strand. After lighting the fuse in the brazier, the soldiers threw it forward with all their might.

At the same time, countless thistles were also thrown forward!

After knowing that a large number of Yuan cavalry had joined the battlefield, Yu Zhilong pondered repeatedly that it was difficult for the bamboo spearmen alone to effectively resist the charge of the Yuan cavalry, and he suddenly recalled that there were a few shops selling fireworks in the street shops, and estimated that if they suddenly detonated when the Yuan cavalry rushed up, it might have a miraculous effect.

After discussing with Zhao Shi, Mingxiong and others, everyone thought they might as well give it a try. So last night, sent people to the shops in the city, bought all the firecrackers, gunpowder, etc., mainly wrapped in silk, rushed to make several cannons overnight, found more than ten war horses to try several times, after several times to adjust the amount of gunpowder and the length of the lead to use, found that the war horses were disturbed by it, panicked, lost their direction, not to mention, but also jumped around, even the rider may fall down.

Qian Zheng had a lot of eyes, and saw that Yu Zhilong wrapped these gunpowder into a package, and interjected: "Since it is to disturb the tartar, why not add more mustard and spicy things to it?" ”

Wu Side continued: "It's better to simply fill in lime!" ”

Mingxiong clapped his hands and praised: "The two of them are wonderful, there are fireballs in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", tribulus terrestris fireballs, thunderbolt fireballs, smoke balls, poison smoke balls, iron-billed fire harriers, bamboo fire harriers and other manufacturing methods, but unfortunately I don't have enough time, since it is to disturb the enemy, simply add some small tribulus terrestris to the medicine bag, the effect is better, with these guys should be enough for Tartar to eat a pot!" ”

The use of thistle terrestris is also a helpless move, and now Linqu lacks iron, and even the tip of the spear and the arrow of the arrow are lacking materials.

Ma Rulong said happily: "Then our department will make more poisonous smoke bombs, throw them over, and smoke those turtle sons to death!" ”

Mingxiong sighed and shook his head.

"What? Isn't this a good idea? Ma Rulong blinked, puzzled.

Mingxiong regretted: "Because I don't know what the wind direction will be tomorrow, and how the specific positions of the two armies will change." In case our department is downwindβ€”"

Yu Zhilong, Qian Zheng and others finally understood. The smoke attack must be in favourable winds. For example, in the siege of a city, the location of the enemy and the enemy has been determined, and it is natural to use this strategy when the wind direction is suitable.

Wu Side smashed his mouth and muttered: "It's a pity, if only I could smoke some poisonous smoke to kill the tartar!" "Everyone has thought a lot of ways to meet the Yuan Cavalry, but the fundamental reason is still the helplessness of their weak combat power.

Zhao Shi took a prepared medicine bag and said loudly: "Today, our army has to come up with more wonderful methods to frustrate its sharpness as much as possible, and our Jing'an army will have to train to be strong in the future, and kill the Tartar cavalry army!" ”

Qian Zheng, Chang Zhi, Hou Ying and others hurriedly asked: "If the four virtues are useless this time, can this future rider be another choice?" Brother Zhao must think about his little brother! ”

"Nonsense! If you wait until you die, this heart will die! When did I go out of the horse, when did I suffer a loss, even if this tartar is an iron lump, I will smash it into a cake! ”

After speaking, Wu Side smiled and held a few finished products and said, "Obediently, these artillery battles are enough for Tartars to eat a pot!" As a cavalryman, he naturally hoped that the greater the loss of the Yuanqi, the better, so that his hopes of winning the battle against him would be greatly increased.

During the test just now, several of his war horses fell and were injured, and Wu Side, who was heartbroken, almost shed tears, and complained that the artillery battle was too powerful, and now he was afraid that the power of the artillery battle was too small.

"It can't be bigger, otherwise it's too heavy for the soldiers to throw far!" Yu Zhilong said regretfully.

It's a pity that there are no catapults in the army, otherwise the thieves will throw hundreds of them in one go, and they will definitely give the Yuan Qi a good look!

Time is precious, and Yu Zhilong arranged for people to make nearly 1,000 pieces overnight.

Different from the flank battlefield area of the Wanjin Haibu, the terrain there is deliberately modified, and countless traps and large muddy areas are arranged on the front and flanks, Yu Zhilong's flank is basically without ditches and cannot divert water, and at the same time, the terrain is open, it is difficult to predict the charge or detour of the Yuan cavalry, in order to increase the defense, only a few traps are arranged near the flanks.

At the same time, in order to attract Yuan Qi as much as possible, Yu Zhilong also tried to put his position in the front, and now the main defensive means against Yuan Cai are these artillery battles and pikemen.

Of course, these preparations must be to beat the opposing Yuan army to the bitter point and be unable to break through independently, so that the main general of the Yuan army can make up his mind to order the Yuan cavalry to come and support.

When the Yuan cavalry charged, each hundred cavalry was divided into two columns, under the leadership of the cavalry hundreds, rolled up a road of smoke and dust, the snow sabre was raised above the head, the whole row of cavalry spears began to be flattened, and the cavalry shouted rhythmically with the galloping horses.

The nearly 1,000 cavalry were divided into more than a dozen columns, hunting with military flags, waving in the wind, and in the trembling of the earth, the offensive was like a mountain and a sea, and the front of the attack was the six hundred foot soldiers of Ma Rulong and Mingxiong.

Li Zhenxiong is full of confidence, the Western Xia cavalry has made great achievements in the past few decades with the Mongol army in the south and the north, and the left flank of the Yuan army is about to be defeated by its own cavalry, and the stone artillery, arrows, and fire guns of the Chinese army have a remarkable attack effect, even if Liu Thief rushes to the Chinese army's big array, it will be a great loss, and the morale will be greatly damaged. Now as long as you open the gap from the right flank and defeat the thief army, you can outflank the two wings and defeat the thief army in an all-round way, and the biggest hero of today's battle will be Tang Wuwei!

Because the situation was very good and the bows and arrows were scarce in the troops, Li Zhenxiong did not adopt the method of riding out in all directions and harassing the enemy with cavalry, but directly formed a frontal attack on the enemy's array. From the left flank, the combat strength of these bandit armies is really small.

Close, close, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, seventy steps, and I can already see the faces and facial expressions of the people on the other side. The cavalry in the front line shouted slogans excitedly, and it could be clearly seen that the soldiers of the other side were tightly clustered together, and a row of simple wooden shields was erected in the front line.

Suddenly, a black shadow was thrown from behind the foot soldiers, and soon another black shadow was thrown over, and the cavalry hundred households were startled at first, thinking that it was throwing thistles and the like, and leaned down to take a closer look, in addition to a lot of thistles terrestris, there were also bags of silk wrapped things, and there were leads on them that were sneering and smoking.

These hundred households suddenly felt bad, although the war horses of the Yuan army had been trained for a long time, and the Yuan army was also equipped with some guns and artillery, and the cavalry army had also cooperated with the artillery team to fight, but after all, the formation and training of the artillery team and the operation cost a lot, and the huge cost of each battle made the officials of the Privy Council frown, so Tang Wuwei and other Beijing cavalry troops have been much less trained with them in recent years.

Many of the mounts are newly replenished, and have not yet been trained with the artillery team, and the horses are quite unfamiliar and frightened by the big noise, and once the artillery explodes, it will inevitably cause the horses to panic!

"Quick, throw the axe!" Yuan rode in front of the hundred households and continued to move forward, and ordered loudly. Nearly a hundred hand axes suddenly flew towards the Jing'an army on the opposite side, followed by another round of hand axes!

It can be seen that many of the Jing'an soldiers were injured or killed, but fortunately, with the cover of simple wooden shields, the casualties of the Jing'an army were not too large.

After the two rounds of hand axes were thrown, many packages that landed, and even some of the packages that were in the air, were already exploding one after another!

The war horses in the front suddenly heard the thunderclap under their feet, and many of the war horses were so frightened that they couldn't help jumping and jumping, completely ignoring the direction and the surrounding situation, and many of the war horses were so frightened that they suddenly stopped, stood upright, or fled diagonally in shock.

In order to obtain better results, Yu Zhilong not only made these artillery battles quite large, all of them were nearly thigh-thick, but also added some mustard, grease, lime, wood dices and the like to the gunpowder.

Yuan Qi's war horse was not only frightened by the abnormal noise, but also the hot pain after the mustard and lime entered the eyes, which made the war horse even more frightened. Even Yuan Bing was frightened in his heart, and under the pain in his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but cry, and it was difficult to see.

Most of the war horses in the front line lost control, and the Yuan soldiers were helpless for a while, some were directly thrown off the war horses, and some even lost their balance with the horses and fell on the field. And the following columns of Yuan cavalry could not dodge for a while, or hit the Yuan Cavalry in the front or tripped over the horses on the ground, in the blink of an eye, nearly 100 Yuan Cavalry became a rolling gourd, and in the sound of cannonballs, from time to time there was a scream of Yuan Cavalry!

A few Yuan soldiers who crashed into the air even crashed into Ma Rulong's array.

The front of the hundred households relied on their skilled equestrian skills, trying their best to avoid the artillery under their feet, inadvertently, the horse speed became slower, but a Yuan cavalry behind rushed over at high speed, in order to avoid the artillery battle, dizzy and directly hit the horse of the hundred households, the two did not have time to make other reactions, they could only rely on instinct, two feet off the horse pedal, flying and rolling forward.

But what was waiting for them was countless long bamboo spears, with a cold light, sharp spear tips from the front, the two of them kept rolling on the ground, there was no time to stand up, the war knives in their hands were blocked left and right, but the number of spears was too much, after several rolling blocks, finally a few spears avoided the block of the war knife, poof, a few times, and stabbed into the bodies of the two of them. The leather armor on the two of them could not fully defend against the sharp spear tips at such a close distance.
