Chapter 267: Whistle Attack (Part II)

The moment the gun rang out, You Fu almost fell off the horse, crawled behind the car with a rolling belt, and watched the Mongolian cavalry not far away with broken armor, blood all over their bodies, heavy casualties, and a burst of fear. He always likes to run to the Mongols when he has nothing to do, and he is courteous before and after the saddle, and he has just left, and if he is one step late, he is afraid that he will end up like this.

Balhu's order came, and You Fu looked at the direction where he was pointing, and sure enough, there was a relatively gentle slope a hundred paces away, and from there he could flank the Song people when he climbed to the top of the slope.

"Take two teams of soldiers to the top and flank?" Yufu hesitated for a moment, and then took the order. First, they did not dare to disobey Balhu's orders; Second, there are indeed not many Song people who attacked, and it is estimated that there are only dozens of people, and the two teams of soldiers are 100 people, which is three times that of the Song people; Thirdly, this group of Song soldiers was obviously going towards the Mongols, and with the Mongols attracting firepower, at least they would be much safer. As for the side strike...... Youfu is not stupid, the Mongols are clearly leading the way to the east, let him lead the team to attract firepower.

After the initial confusion and casualties, the Mongol cavalry showed ferocity, bravery and tactical excellence. They drew their swords to slash cattle and mules or cut cart ropes to protect them from being rammed by frightened animals pulling their carts around, and then relying on carts to dodge bullets, occasionally firing back with their bows.

The Mongols' bows and arrows were indeed fierce, putting a lot of pressure on the sentries, and even if they showed only half of their heads briefly, they were frequently hit by arrows. Fortunately, the sharp sentries were also the elite of the Song army, well-equipped, everyone had armor and helmets. Most of the arrows fired by the Mongols were bounced off by the smooth iron helmets, but a few were shot in the face by the delicate arrows, causing death and injury.

However, compared with the damage of bows and arrows to the Song people, the killing of muskets made the Mongol soldiers complain.

In fact, the confrontation between muskets and bows and arrows was trained by the Dragon Sparrow Army very early. The advantage of the bow is that it is very fast, it can suppress the slow rate of fire, and in the case of one-on-one, the archer has a high chance of winning. However, the muskets were fired in three bursts, and the advantage of the bow and arrow was wiped out, and all that was left was disadvantage.

The above is the situation of the army on the plain terrain, and in a mountain battle like the current one, the bow and arrow also have only a disadvantage and no advantage. The Mongol cavalry first lost the mobility of the cavalry and was suppressed on the narrow mountain road and could not move, and then was condescending by the sentry soldiers of the Song army, who had occupied the advantageous position, and could not raise their heads. finally took advantage of the gap between the Song army's firepower to raise his bow and fight back, but due to the influence of the bottom-up perspective, the hit rate was greatly reduced. In addition, the Song soldiers were hidden behind stones, trees, and mounds of soil, and only half of their heads were exposed at the moment of shooting, so it was difficult to seize that moment to shoot the opponent, even the archers frequently missed.

It's like Balhu, who is a sharpshooter who can shoot three arrows in a row, but he only shot and injured a sharp sentry in time when the Song soldiers were hidden at the beginning, and he couldn't succeed after that.

The Song soldiers' firing positions were so tricky that the archers could only stare dryly, while the Mongol soldiers, on the other hand, were fine when they shrank behind the car, but if they dared to show their heads to shoot arrows, they would instantly become the target of several muskets. The biggest disadvantage of archery compared to shooting is that you have to lean out of the back of the car to pull the bow and shoot the arrow at the target, and in doing so, the shooter himself becomes a super target. Under the indiscriminate gunfire, few people can escape with their whole body.

On the mountain road, the battle was fierce, the two sides fought for only a moment, the sharp sentry suffered six casualties, and the Mongol soldiers suffered more than 20 casualties, most of them were quivers with outstanding archery skills. Although everyone is good at shooting, it does not mean that everyone can become an archer, after all, this is by talent, and more Mongolian cavalry is actually good at cavalry and foot combat. As the quivers became less and less numerous, the Mongols became less of a threat to the sentries. Under the elimination of the other, the fire attack of the sentry was more violent.

"Bastard! So what is Yufu doing? Do you want to die? Balhu, who was lying behind the carcass of the horse and did not dare to show his head, saw that not far away, Youfu led the new soldier No. 100, cautiously came to the slope, and climbed up one by one, the action was similar to that of a turtle on the beach, so angry that his nostrils smoked, and he almost couldn't resist giving him an arrow from behind.

On the side of the new annexed army, the two brand heads who followed behind You Fu also seemed to feel the murderous aura that was almost condensed from behind them, and one of them said to You Fu in fear: "Big brother, let's drag it like this, Lord Qianhu must be dissatisfied, don't you climb faster, go uphill to the top of the slope earlier and contain the Song people from the side......"

You Fu slapped it away and scolded angrily: "The Mongols' arrows are so powerful, they are all pressed and beaten by the Song people's muskets, and they still want to attack from the side, isn't that a head?" Just make a show for the Mongols, so why do you work so hard? If you think it's a long life, you can fight it, don't drag Lao Tzu down, drag down these hundred brothers. ”

The brand covered his face and didn't dare to say more.

The head of another brand also whispered: "What does it matter what Lord Qianhu thinks in his heart." Looking at the current situation, most of the Mongols can't stand it, they can't take care of themselves, how can they control us. ”

The head of the sign said: "But if the Mongols are defeated, we will have to lose our heads." ”

"the fart!" You Fu spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "If there is a benefit, follow it, if it is not good, Lao Tzu will pull the brothers down to the grass!" ”

"Yes, yes, I've had enough of this nest, let's go to the grass with my eldest brother."

"I see that the group of people in Wangjiazhai who invited us to fall into the grass are good......"

Several leaders of the new annex army had a little Jiujiu in their hearts, they didn't work hard, their mouths were loud, and their subordinates were crawling slower than one another.

This hillside is not high, but it is only relative to the surrounding mountains, in fact, there are more than ten zhang high, equivalent to the height of more than a dozen floors in later generations, plus heavy rain for days, the soil is loose and floating, and it is not easy to bear it, even if you really want to climb up, let alone grinding foreign workers? As a result, the Mongols were beaten and screamed, and the new annexed army couldn't climb to the top for half a day.

When the fierce battle reached the end, some Mongolian soldiers couldn't hold it back, jumped out of the back of the car with their shields and rushed towards the hillside. As a result, he didn't climb a foot, stepped into the mud and couldn't pull it out, and in a fit of rage, the shield in his hand was covered by a flaw, and he was hit in the shoulder with a bang and rolled back to the mountain road. Before he could get up, there was a bang, and he fell headlong into the puddle......

The fate of this Mongolian soldier not only shocked Balhu and other Mongolian soldiers, but even the new annex army on Youfu's side was frightened, and their hands and feet slowed down a little, lest they stimulate the Song people and transfer their firepower, then they will be unlucky.

rushed and couldn't rush, shot and missed, and Bal Hu also gave up the idea of killing this group of Song soldiers. Now he only thinks about delaying until dark, the Song soldiers can't aim, and the movement here is so big, it will definitely alarm the Yuan army sentry in this area, and this group of Song soldiers will not dare to stay for a long time. As long as you keep the return gun, you might be able to save your head......

On the side of the sharp sentinel, Liang Ertiao's face was solemn, after paying dozens of casualties, the Mongolian soldiers finally learned to behave, they no longer showed their heads, and no longer tried to return fire with bows and arrows, but hid behind the carriage and horses, clearly to delay time. And the longer it drags on, the worse it is for the Sentinels.

"We're going to rush down and set fire to these vehicles." Liang Ertiao slowly stood up from behind the stone, put down the musket, pulled out his handcuff, held the shield in one hand, and looked resolute, "Guoya, you leave ten brothers to cover, and the rest come with me." ”

Figures flickered on the hillside, and sentries leaped out of bunkers behind trees, mounds of dirt, stones, etc. They all knew the consequences of giving up their location and exposing their bodies, but no one hesitated when they gave the order, because this was their task. They are here to complete the task.

As soon as the sentries appeared, Balhu, who was hiding behind the carcasses of the horses, was overjoyed, and raised his bow with a cruel smile: "Now it's our turn." ”

The Mongols poked out from behind their horses and struck at the sentries with bows and arrows and throwing weapons. Guoya and the other ten people also desperately shot to cover, but after all, there were few people and guns, and the loading was slow, so they lost the other. From time to time, a sentry fell from an arrow, and then struggled to get up and continue to charge.

Among them, Lao Yan was hit by several arrows, covered in blood, and fell to the ground and couldn't get up in the mud. He snapped off the shaft of the arrow and rolled down.

"Old Yan!" Liang Erjo, who rushed behind, just shouted, waved the side card in his hand, blocked the arrows that came from the ground, jumped over, and pounced in front of Lao Yan, the side card sank, and Tuk Tuk blocked the two arrows shot from the side. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a cold flash in the corner of his eye, he couldn't block it, his thigh was pierced by an arrow, he fell down with a muffled hum, he took off his hand from the side card, and his body slid down the sludge all the way.

Balhu laughed and drew an arrow on his bow, aimed at Liang Ertiao, who had fallen to the mountain road, and shouted: "Die!" ”

Bang!

Bal Tiger's bow and arrow landed, a bloody hole appeared in his left chest, his face was in disbelief, and he turned his head with difficulty - this attack actually came from behind!

On the right side of the trail, there is a low gentle slope, overgrown with weeds, which is not conducive to ambushes, and it is impossible to use mud and rocks to block the road, so the sentries only ambush on the left. However, at this moment, there were fires and gunshots from time to time in the grass on the gentle slope on the right. Almost every shot killed a Mongol soldier.

Balhu never expected that the most unsuitable place for ambush would also have ambushes...... He fell into the muddy water, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't bat himself.

The sentries who were covering Guoya and the others were so excited that they almost jumped out of the bunker: "It's Lu Bao and them!" ”

Liang Ertiao helped Lao Yan to lie on the mountain road, his face was covered with mud, and a smile appeared on his face: "These late guys are finally here...... Ahem, it's better to come early than to come by chance......"

Under the attack from both sides, the Mongol soldiers were like rats in the streets, unable to hide, running nowhere, completely shrouded in the rain of bullets, and their defeat was only a matter of time.

The sky will be dark, the gunfire on the mountain road will gradually fade, and after a while, the fire will rise to the sky and the smoke will billow.

Dozens of miles away, a Yuan soldier with hundreds of horsemen was galloping in......

……

In the early morning, the usually quiet Prime Minister Boyan roared angrily from the marshal tent in the Yuan army camp, and the entire marshal tent was silent.

At this time, I suddenly saw a horse galloping outside the camp, holding a war book and a red box, shouting all the way: "The Song army invites battle!" ”

Soon, the war book and the red box were sent to the Boyan case. Bo Yan shook open the battle book and looked at it, the vermilion ink on it was dripping, and a big crimson font hit his eyes: "Battle!" ”

When the red box was opened, it was a blackened piece of wood.

A layer of green air appeared on Boyan's face, and he immediately calmed down, threw away the battle book, and said lightly: "The decisive victory in August is exactly what I want." Return to the Song Lord and choose a decisive day. ”
