Chapter 270 - Zero Deaths

Liu Yunshui has been hiding in the forest for almost a night, he has been waiting for too long, hearing the sound of rifle shooting from the city, he has long been itching, at this time he got the military order from Li Zicheng, without saying a word, immediately took all the cavalry out of the dense forest.

Liu Yunshui's department originally had four and a half hundred cavalry households, but after two consecutive night raids, he obtained nearly 200 war horses, and used these war horses to arm the trained auxiliaries, and now the hundredth household, the cavalry is more than 600 households.

The cavalry swooped down along the west bank of the Chauna River to the location of the battlefield, Liu Yunshui saw dozens of cavalry crowding on the pontoon bridge from a distance, and immediately shouted in a hurry: "Brothers, hurry, Mai Li is defeated, I want to escape, intercept them!" ”

But he muttered a little in his heart, yesterday above the city, he saw with his own eyes that there were five or six hundred cavalry in Meligan, why did he only see dozens of them now?

Could it be that McRigan still has a back hand?

The Mongols' tent is still there, I don't know that there are no soldiers in the tent, no, the battle has begun, the casualties have already occurred, can the Mongols still live in the tent?

Although Liu Yunshui's horse speed did not decrease, he was a little hesitant in his heart, he subconsciously looked at the city, and it happened that Li Zicheng asked the herald to play the flag and ask him to divide his troops to stop the Mongolian cavalry who had not yet crossed the river.

He immediately understood that Mai Ligan was only left with these remnants of the defeated generals, and he didn't have time to sigh, Liu Yunshui immediately divided two cavalry of 100 households to cut off the pontoon bridge and block the Mongolian cavalry that had not yet crossed the river, and he took the main force of 400 households to chase and kill Mai Ligan with all his might.

There were still more than 20 Mongolian cavalry who were blocked, and several of them had already gone on the pontoon bridge, but a large number of Han cavalry suddenly appeared on the opposite bank, like a new stone wall, blocking their way home.

At this time, the Han cavalry was within the range of their bows and arrows, but the pontoon bridge was not as solid as the flat ground, walking on the pontoon bridge, the body was originally shaking from side to side, the bow and arrow were difficult to aim at all, and more importantly, the Han army had made a gesture and wanted to cut off the pontoon bridge.

Once they fall into the water and lose the advantage of war horses and bows and arrows, in front of hundreds of Han cavalry, they will become "water dogs" to the letter!

The Mongolian cavalry had to give up the pontoon bridge and retreat to the east bank of the Chauna River, but the Han cavalry did not chase the pontoon bridge, although the number of Mongolian cavalry was small, but their bows and arrows could completely block the pontoon bridge, and they could also cut off the pontoon bridge, so that the Han cavalry could taste the taste of falling into the water.

The two sides confronted each other across the river.

On the east bank were more than 20 cavalry Mongols, and on the west bank were 200 Xining cavalry, but the width of the river was more than 80 paces, far exceeding the range of bows and arrows, and neither side wasted their efforts.

The Xining cavalry was a little impatient in their hearts, if they could not kill these Mongols, their military merits in this battle would be extremely limited, at least they did not have the pleasure of killing the enemy with their own hands, fortunately, these Mongols had become turtles in the urn, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.

The Mongol cavalry was in despair.

The way back was cut off, and the Xining infantry was pressing over step by step, and the Khan King Mai Li had fled far away and had abandoned them, and everything could only rely on themselves!

In the encirclement of more than 500 infantry and 200 cavalry, they had to make a choice.

Surrender is impossible, and if they are defeated by cavalry stronger than them, they can choose to surrender and join their opponent's side as their servant army.

Now opposite them is the Han people, a nest who only knows intrigues and tricks, so weak that even a sheep can bite them, if they surrender to such an opponent, they can't afford to lose people, and they can't live up to the title of Mongolian warriors, and they are even more worthy of the identity of Genghis Khan's descendants!

Collectively, they choose to fight, even if they are all buried here.

The Khan King Mailigan will definitely reorganize his army, defeat these Han people, avenge them, and the immortal heaven will remember them - even if they are in a desperate situation, they have not surrendered to the Han people, they are worthy of Genghis Khan!

It was impossible to cross the river to fight, although the cavalry of the Han people was weak, there were more than 200 people, and they occupied the only two pontoon bridges on the Chana River, which could be cut off at any time.

Although the Han infantry is more numerous, and the firearms in their hands are also terrifying, they are infantry after all, and they do not have the speed of cavalry, so they have to cut off a few of their hairs in this empty land.

While the Mongol soldiers were pondering, the Xining infantry was maintaining a battle formation and quickly squeezed towards them.

Time was ticking, danger was approaching them step by step, although they were ready to die, but fear gradually invaded their hearts, and their hands with bows and arrows became stiff little by little.

At the critical moment, instinct played an important role, and the wolf nature on the grassland was completely stimulated.

Since it is impossible to retreat from the pontoon bridge, then take advantage of the speed advantage of the war horse, take the initiative to attack the infantry of the Han people, and finally give it a go, no matter what the price is, let the Han people understand: On land, the cavalry is the real master!

Zhou Bin was personally supervising the battle with the team, and although the Mongolian cavalry was only more than 20 people, he was still a little nervous.

During the weekday training, he also borrowed the war horses of Liu Yunshui's department to find a way to deal with the cavalry, but those war horses were completely controlled by the brothers, and they would not pose a substantial threat to the brothers.

Now the brothers and the Mongols are on the same flat ground outside the city, if they can't shoot these cavalry in time, let them use the speed of the war horse to break through the line of death of a hundred paces, it will be a catastrophe for the brothers, hand-to-hand combat with the cavalry, the gunners have little ability to defend themselves.

Zhou Bin was not worried about victory, no matter how strong the Mongolian cavalry was, there were only more than 20 people, and in front of the Xining rifles, they had no chance of surviving.

He was concerned about the casualties of his brothers, when he eliminated most of the Mongol cavalry at the head of the city, because outside the 100-step death line, the Mongol cavalry did not have a chance to shoot arrows, and the brothers did not die, if this record was maintained in the battle to eliminate this remnant of the Mongol cavalry, the brothers would have zero deaths!

What kind of record is this?

There are no ancients before, there must be no ancients before, even if there are those who come later, at most it is flat!

Last time in Triangle City, the 500th household was already in the moment of defeat, and it was the Lord who personally led the reinforcements to arrive in time, and finally defeated Bayar's cavalry, so that the Triangle City was not lost.

If the Lord came an hour late, he would probably be defeated and killed, and the Triangle City would also fall into the hands of Bayar, but the Lord ...... Not only did the adults not blame, but they also made the 500th household a model for the whole army, and widely publicized it, and he became the first 100 household officials to be promoted from 1,000 households!

Maybe the adult is for the needs of publicity, but Zhou Bin always feels guilty in his heart, if he defeats Mai Ligan this time, he can make the brothers die zero and truly control the battlefield, which can be regarded as repaying the adult...... The adult's hard work!

The Mongolian cavalry began to accelerate, more than 20 horsemen almost lined up, launching a suicidal assault on the Xining infantry, wolf nature is wolf nature, even if there are only more than 20 horsemen, even in the face of hundreds of gunners, they did not hesitate, let alone retreat, hideous faces, blood-red eyeballs, and white scimitars in their hands......

Not only the gunners, but even Zhou Bin was a little chilled, but fortunately, the Mongols only had more than 20 horsemen!

Zhou Bin has already set the shooting distance: four hundred steps! Don't let them get too close, otherwise it will affect the soldier's heart and shooting accuracy.

The gunners had already stopped, since the Mongols were coming to die, it was better to wait, and they did not have to walk a few steps, they lined up in the most familiar formation, the first row of gunners half-knelt in the front, behind them, the second row of gunners standing, less than two steps apart, and the third row of gunners, standing at the end, the second row of gunners in the gap, so that it was easy to observe the form of the battlefield and the Mongol cavalry attacking.

"Brothers, shoot only people!" Although he cared about the safety of his brothers, but at such a time in the battle, Zhou Bin had to rescue these precious war horses, as long as there were no casualties, these war horses would become the trophies of the Xining army and be used to expand the Xining cavalry.

Time flew by, and the Mongol cavalry quickly approached the gunners, and on the pontoon bridge of the Chauna River, the cavalry of Xining began to cross the river.

Zhou Bin's eyes were firmly fixed on the distance of four hundred paces, and finally spit out the two words that he had been waiting for for a long time: "Shoot!" ”

"Bang, bang, bang......"

More than 100 bullets whistled out through the chamber.

The distance of four hundred paces is also the effective distance of the Xining rifle, but the farther the distance, the accuracy of the rifle will drop, fortunately, the gunners did not disappoint Zhou Bin, there were only three cavalrymen left on horseback, one of them shook his body, and barely stabilized his body, and then lay on the horse's back, obviously also shot, but the injured part was not the vital part.

Although Zhou Bin wanted to protect the war horse, there was still a war horse that was shot, its front legs were bent, its hind buttocks were cocked, and it let out a desperate scream, and before the soldiers on horseback fell from the horse, they directly overturned him.

There were only three soldiers left on horseback, and the distance was getting closer and closer, Zhou Bin didn't want to waste precious bullets, "Save bullets, shoot at a point!" ”

"Bang...... Bang bang ......"

Several gunshots rang out, the remaining three cavalrymen on horseback fell one by one, the bow in their hands was also thrown far away, and the ownerless war horse only sprinted for a short distance, and all changed direction two hundred paces away, raising their heads and ears, looking at this strange world in horror.

The Xining cavalry, who had robbed the Cha Na River, finally seized the opportunity, and the Mongol soldiers lying on the ground would not release arrows, and they immediately surrounded this group of "vaulters", whether they were dead or not, and they all used their spears to pick them up.

Li Zicheng had already led a large number of auxiliaries out of the city gate, preparing to clean up the battlefield and deal with the wounded Mongol soldiers under the city.

Seeing that the battle in the west was over, he immediately ordered the heralds to raise their banners and tell the cavalry to gather the Mongol horses so that they would not flee into the depths of the woods.

Fighting the Mongol cavalry, the war horse is almost the only trophy!
