16. Unyielding Blade

On the battlefield, those who have no courage have died from the beginning, because those who are afraid of death will definitely die, and only those who have the heart of courage and determination can be reborn.

Ye Sizhong and I glanced at each other, looked at each other's approach, and said a word almost at the same time! What he said was, "Guard! What I said was, "Steady!" "It seems that everyone is on the same mind, so let's turn around together, and run into the car formation with our subordinates. At the same time shouted: "The musketeers are in position!" Long weapons on board! ”

In just a few breaths after we shouted these words and panted into the chariot formation, the enemy cavalry had already bared their hideous fangs on the top of the hill! Ye Sizhong pulled out his saber and raised it high! After the enemy cavalry gradually jumped to the top of the hill and formed a fan, his sword fell resolutely!

Just hear a deafening volley from the musket next to you! At this time, the enemy cavalry forward is 150 steps away from our chariot formation! Gunshots rang out, and more than 20 riders fell!

The first column of musketeers withdrew to reload, and the second column of musketeers crouched and fired a salvo! At this time, the enemy cavalry is 110 steps away from our chariot formation! Gunshots! Archer throws! Fell more than 30 rides!

The second column of musketeers withdrew to reload, and the first column of musketeers crouched and fired a salvo! At this time, the enemy cavalry is 70 steps away from our chariot formation! Gunshots! Archers shoot flat at the same time in the third round! Fall more than 50 rides!

By the time the fourth round of muskets was ready to fire a salvo and the archers fired the sixth round, the enemy cavalry had already rushed more than 30 paces in front of our chariot formation! Ye Sizhong shouted: "The sword and shield hand is in place!" At the same time, as the last round of shooting was completed, the arrows fired by the enemy cavalry also hit in an instant! Some arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, and in an instant a dozen archers and musketeers were shot, and they fell to the ground wailing!

After the enemy's two rounds of bow and arrow attacks, the cavalry forward had already crashed into the front row of the car formation! The sword and shield hand was withdrawn, and the spearman and wolf hand immediately handed the long weapon out of the car! For a while, more than a dozen horses were stabbed down, and they were instantly trampled beyond recognition by the war horses of their own people behind, not humanoid! Finally, the two sides officially got fired!

Although the enemy is cavalry, but in recent years with the Ming army in the battle, especially in the face of the car formation, from helpless, to gradually summed up a set of methods, more than a dozen of them in the moment of stepping on the top of the mountain, from the saddle to untie a bottle, which is filled with spirits, and then the whole person hid under the belly of the horse, to the front of the car array, in one fell swoop * into the car array! Although the fire surface is small and does not cause too many casualties, it is bound to cause chaos!

And some cavalry rushed to the front and rear, relying on their equestrian skills, they actually stood directly on horseback, using the horse's impact speed, trying their best to jump into the inside of the car formation, trying to jump into the car! But most of them were hit by various weapons sticking out of the car when they got closer, and then landed and died!

Soon, however, our chariot formation was facing the enemy attack, and more and more horses and warrior corpses were piled up, almost half the height of the carcass! After all, we are only a battalion, and our face is still too small! Some of the dismounted enemy soldiers had already stepped on the corpses of their partners and began to charge towards the roof of the car! Ye Sizhong shouted: "Meet the enemy!" "Our army drew their weapons and began to defend the point where the enemy was attacking!

In the first round, my own sword and shield men went up, and I called the Nine Ghosts Masataka on the second line, telling him to let the other musketeers withdraw to the third line, and aim at the enemy troops who boarded the body to shoot accurately! If the enemy force is too fierce and the momentum is too great, then do not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, cover and shoot! The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao took the order and left, and the sand and I rushed towards the front line!

I pulled out the shadow show, and the moment I stepped into the car, an enemy rider happened to step on the corpse and was about to climb onto the roof of the car, and I didn't hesitate to slash it with a knife! Suddenly, a pair of arms broke off at elbows! The rider screamed and fell, blood spraying me in the face!

Because my vision was obscured, I quickly raised my left hand and wiped it on my face, and at that moment, an enemy soldier rushed up the slope of corpses with his horsepower and pounced on me! The movie show is too long, and I don't have time to put away the knife, so I'm ready to retreat and pick it up! But I saw a silver light flashing next to him, and with a "poof" sound, this enemy soldier was still in the air, and he was pierced by a spear stretched out next to him! As soon as the spear was collected, the corpse of the enemy soldier was planted.

I turned my head slightly, but I saw that Sand was holding a spear in his hand, guarding my right side tightly, and the Nine Ghosts Masataka didn't know where to find a spear, which blocked the water on my left side!

I was moved by the loyalty and courage of the two, and I raised my sword and fought again! As the battle heated up, for a while, both sides were red-eyed, and such a short corpse mountain of about ten meters became a battleground for both sides!

Our people keep falling to the ground, being dragged down by those behind them, and someone else fills up! In order to survive, the enemy army is even more forward! Looking at this scene, a thought suddenly came to my heart - isn't this just striking iron! The enemy army is like a hammer, rushing at us one at a time! And our army is like a block of steel, even if it is constantly weakened, it will never back down! The two sides just bumped into each other without any tricks!

The clashing of weapons, the firing of muskets, the wails of death, the cracking of bones, the neighing of horses, all kinds of noisy sounds came together to make me feel like reality. The shadow show in his hand is almost mechanically swung out and mechanically retracted! Here, all the moves are meaningless, everyone is exchanging injuries for injuries and blood for blood!

For some reason, I suddenly remembered Clausewitz's classic remark in the theory of war - the fundamental factor that determines the outcome of a war is quantity! Yes, in the face of numbers, the strength of any single body seems so insignificant! Definitely not worth mentioning!

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the enemy formation! I didn't understand what he was calling, but I saw that the enemy had made a way in the process of fighting to the death! A road that can be passed by one man and one horse! By the moonlight, I saw a black horse riding a black-robed warrior rushing in my direction!

I only heard Ye Sizhong shouting: "It's Mulwen!" Qilan beware! Don't resist hard! ”

I know, this is a warrior of the enemy army! Seeing him rushing straight towards me, I suddenly felt a strong pressure pressing on me, and the weight of life and death immediately woke me up from the foggy state just now!

He was still 50 meters away from me, and a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, so I immediately leaned Yingxiu against the body of the car and pulled the mechanical crossbow that Ye Sizhong gave me from behind! With the cover of the car body, the hidden string pulling, and the arrow, because I practiced thousands of times before, it took less than three seconds to complete the whole process! Just when Mulwin was still 15 steps away from me, I resolutely took the crossbow arrow out of the car and shot it at his chest! After shooting this arrow, he didn't care about the results of the battle, so he immediately threw the crossbow on the ground, drew up the shadow show and prepared to meet the enemy!

The moment I looked up, I heard a horse neighing overhead! The black horse of the divine horse actually carried Mulwin, and with a little help from the top of the corpse mountain, it flew directly over my head almost as if it was flying in the air, and jumped in the direction of the car array! For a moment, my mind was racing! If he is allowed to enter, the archers and musketeers inside will be like lambs to the slaughter, and there will be no way to live! I felt a burst of hot blood rush through my brain, almost unconsciously, my hands crossed and held the shadow show, and at the moment when the dark horse was about to cross my head, I roared, and the trend was a move "slash against the wind"!

Just listen to the "sting"! The blood squirted my head and face! After a while, the warrior next to him began to shout! I couldn't see it, but I could hear it, it was a cry of surprise! Hurriedly wiped his eyes with his left sleeve, who knew that there was too much blood on the sleeve, and the more he wiped it, the more he couldn't see clearly! I was in a hurry, grabbed the hem of my clothes and cut it with Yingxiu, instantly cut off a corner of my clothes, wiped my face, looked down, and saw a man and a horse that had fallen to the ground and had been broken into four pieces!

It's me! It's this movie show! The legendary saddle slash has really come true! My heart was ignited by the fire in an instant, and I held up the shadow show and shouted loudly! The morale of the officers and men on the car was boiling to the extreme for a while, and after repelling a wave of enemy attacks, under the cover of the pikemen, the enemy troops were pressed to the point that they could not raise their heads for a while! I only heard Ye Sizhong shouting: "Surround them!" Don't let any of them go! Suddenly the warriors roared up, spears in hand, leaped down from both flanks of the formation, and pressed towards the last strength of the enemy!

The enemy is defeated! They tried to escape, but were shot to the ground by the archers and musketeers in the back row! Seeing that they could not flee for their lives, the last few enemies jumped off their horses, knelt on the ground, threw down their weapons, and attempted to surrender. But the red-eyed soldier who was killed pushed over flat, and truly realized what Ye Sizhong said, leaving no piece of armor behind, and not letting any of them go!

It was dawn, and the battle had been counted. In the battle at the top of the mountain, our troops lost 95 killed and 224 wounded. 565 enemy cavalry, all annihilated! Not a single one to stay!

I looked at Mulwin's corpse, and I felt a pang of palpitations in my heart - in his right hand, there was a featherless arrow, the same one I had shot! If it weren't for my blessing and the first to shoot arrows and injure the enemy, I am afraid that the scimitar in his hand, known as the "Plague Bringer", would never let me go of the frontal enemy! Isn't all this fate?

The battle around the city of Jinzhou in the distance has also ended, and under the offensive of the siege of three and one, the Tatars withdrew in the northeast direction, and our light cavalry pursued and killed along the way, and it is said that they have been chased for nearly a hundred miles! Presumably, after this battle, it will be difficult for the Tumut Department to recover in at least a few years!

I picked up Mulwin's scimitar and was in a daze. Ye Sizhong walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder with his bandaged right hand and said, "It's good to be alive!"

I had a total of 12 wounds all over my body, and when I was slapped by him, my tears were about to fall! He looked at me and looked up to the sky and laughed! I couldn't help but laugh along with him! It's just that our eyes are filled with unknown tears!
