Chapter 471: Taking advantage of the chaos to set fire to kill
Chapter 471: Taking advantage of the chaos to set fire to kill
Liu 13 and the fifteen guards around him are wearing iron armor, covering their bodies tightly, Huazhou's armor has only appeared in the past few years and even the face is completely protected style, after wearing it, it is like a mobile steel fortress, it is not impossible to do it in the past, but it is useless to make it, because Mongolian horses simply cannot carry such a heavy weight, since the beginning of raising horses on Jeju Island, the armor of the real heavy cavalry began to be built.
The expeditionary pioneer team did not have that kind of Andalusian horse when it set off, but Liu 13 still had to come with more than a dozen sets, according to his words, anyway, I will go on an expedition to the west, and sooner or later I will meet good horses, won't I use this set of equipment when the time comes?
I didn't expect it to make him right, in the first tribe I met, there were many Central Asian horses that were not inferior to the Andalusian horse breed, and the tall horses happened to be able to carry the weight of heavy armor, and Liu Shisan at that time only hated himself for not bringing a few more sets of armor over.
Later, it occurred to me that when facing muskets and artillery, heavy armor was almost useless, and this was the only thing I regretted.
Sixteen people were heavily armoured, and the horses they rode were also wearing thin cotton robes, and the vests were hung on their chests, which were already able to block cold arrows and some chopping, led by Liu Shisan, these people were not holding shields in their hands, but were similar to the big sharp knives that lengthened the Pu knife.
When stabbing at the time, the tip of the blade was not inferior to the spear, after Liu Shisan's bold words were finished, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse slowly began to move, almost at the same time, the fifteen people around him began to move in step with him, and the rumbling sound behind him began to sound.
A brigade composed of one thousand and five white guards and regimental training formed a sharp triangle formation and followed behind the sixteen people, forming a large arrow, and surging down together.
Now there is no need to think about lighting or concealment, because the first 200 or so people to break through have already lit many tents with torches, and the tents are all made of leather, and small flames may not be a problem, but this kind of torches, fueled by grease-soaked wooden strips, happen to be the nemesis.
After throwing it on, the entire tent will be ignited, and because so many people gather, the distance between the tent and the tent is also very short, and later it is no longer necessary for Liu Shisan's men to prevent fire, and the fire between the tents is already uncontrollable.
The flames illuminated everything transparently, but there was a disadvantage to this, hundreds of Mercedes Benz in the Golden Tent were discovered by the people of the Obir Khanate under Liu Shisan, and hundreds of cavalry had already been shot down by the other party with arrows, although the Obil Khanate was not big, but the institutions at all levels were also complete. Officers at all levels have been mobilized, and there they are loudly gathering their soldiers.
The tents that were on fire were all cut down and moved, and a firebreak was cleared out in the middle, whether the king of the king of Obil Khan was dead or not had no effect on these people, and now they were just gathering the people, preparing to kill all the hundreds of people who broke in.
The people who were firing the cannons in the hillside did not disperse, the men brought by Liu 13 gathered with them, and the five cannons were slowly pushed after being assembled, following behind the team.
The horse team was still a few dozen paces away from the camp of King Obir Khan, and there was a sudden roar of cheers from the camp of the khanate, and some people shouted even louder.
Liu 13 still didn't understand what was going on, and a guard who knew Mongolian next to him spoke:
"My lord, it's shouting over there, saying that the Great Khan is not dead, the Great Khan is not dead!"
When Liu 13 heard this, his legs clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse squirted away all of a sudden, Liu 13 said with a smile:
"It's better not to die, that's to cut us off with our heads."
This sentence completely aroused the emotions of his subordinates, one to ten, ten to hundred, everyone was shouting and roaring, the sound was loud, completely overwhelmed the cheers over there, and the hundreds of light horsemen who rushed in to set fire to the scene had already run back from the fire.
Followed by the furious cavalry of the Obil Khanate, some people in front of them used wooden guns to pick open the burning hoods, and those behind either drew their swords and chased after them, or they drew their bows and arrows on their horses, and the hundreds of light horsemen just ran out of the fire, and they saw the large group of men and horses in front of them.
Liu 13 will not give them a dodge, these light horses whistled, forcibly twisted the horse's head to separate to both sides, when fleeing for their lives, there is no so-called reason to cherish horsepower, the horses that ran for their lives suddenly reversed direction, many horses were unable to control their strength, fell directly to the ground, the knights got up and ran wildly to the other side, and some people were directly chased and killed by the people behind.
However, this was only a short moment, Liu Shisan's cavalry had completely run away from the speed, and many of the burning tents on the road in front of them had already been picked aside, which was more suitable for the cavalry charge.
The cavalry of the Lost Bil Khanate were originally chasing and killing with a sense of anger, and they didn't have time to pay attention to other situations at all, and when the object of pursuit suddenly turned around, they didn't react at all, and after being slightly stunned, Liu 13 had already rushed over.
More than a dozen heavily armored cavalry are absolute arrows, and bows and arrows in the dark night can't do any damage to such heavy armor at all, but the leather robes of the khanate cavalry have no defensive ability against the heavy weapons of the other party, and the first person to bear the brunt of it cannot resist the charge of the heavy cavalry in terms of defense or strength.
The heavy cavalry's dozen pointed broadswords directly knocked the people in the lead off their horses, and the people who fell to the ground had terrible wounds on their bodies, as if they had been cut open directly, with swarthy armor, horses covered with colorful robes, and thick weapons in their hands.
It looked like a demon that appeared out of thin air, the front one was rushed under the horse, and the people behind didn't even have the courage to confront it head-on, so they just desperately turned the horse and prepared to dodge, but there were thousands of murderous cavalry behind Liu Shisan.
Even if the horses were turned, they were still in the attack fan of the opponent's formation, and more than a thousand people had already formed a large formation with the heavy cavalry as the arrow, with hundreds of people on each side, and escaped the thrust of the heavy cavalry, and there were knives, axes and bows and arrows waiting for them, and this arrow directly penetrated the camp that had just been tightly gathered.
On the other side of the fire zone, surrounded by the princes and nobles around him, he was observing the fire, and there was no movement of firearms except for the first artillery, which in their judgment indicated that the bandits who came may have been very small.
Otherwise, according to the experience of previous battles, the Cossacks generally preferred to fire indiscriminately with firearms first, and then charge.
For the Mongols, who did not have any firearms, such indiscriminate firing was enough for them to suffer enough, and when morale was low, launching a charge was naturally half the effort, but in front of them was the appearance of firing five shells, could it be a small group of Rakshasas.
Lost Bir Khan was angry in his heart, he thought that he would be his own king in this steppe and be free, but what he didn't expect was that the Rakshasa people suddenly sent an expeditionary army, and the number of the other party was far less than his own, but the so-called cavalry shooting across Europe and Asia could not play a role at this time, and the other party devoured the land of the khanate step by step, and drove himself to the east.
He was just about to give the order to kill this daring bandit, but before he could say anything, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder roared, and the people on horseback were naturally able to judge such a voice, and everyone there was a great change in their faces, which was at least a formation of two thousand cavalry.
At present, the cavalry of the Khanate, which was gathered around the Golden Horde, was at most 8,000 people, and in a moment of horror, the flames burning in front of them suddenly dimmed a lot, and many cavalrymen suddenly appeared in front of them, led by a dozen heavily armored cavalrymen who seemed to be wrapped in iron cans.
Despite the sound of hooves and the sound of killing, the princes and nobles of the Khan over there still heard each other's words, and the man laughed arrogantly:
"It turns out that the main lord is here, and the head is mine!"
The princes and nobles all know some Chinese, and after hearing this sentence, they are a little unable to react, and they are stunned to think, could it be that the people of the Ming Dynasty have killed it, it is impossible, thousands of miles apart, how can it be possible to organize an expedition, and it happened to run into the Golden Horde.
The brain was stunned, but each subconsciously turned the horse's head, what else was thinking at this time, running away was the only choice, they ran away, but the soldiers and herdsmen behind did not react at all, they collided with each other, the chaos was not good, and the king of Obir Khan was the most unlucky one.
Just because of his noble status, he stood at the front, and now he fled, but for this reason he could only be at the back, and when he turned around, there was also a chaotic crowd, and the knights were in a mess here, but in the messy tents, they were mixed up.
The cavalry following Liu 13 slowly pulled the formation and the heavy cavalry into a straight line, standing in the firebreak, until the side of the hill, Liu 13 threw the big knife in his hand on the ground, and untied the rope hook on his body, except for a cuirasse, the rest were thrown on the ground.
The entourage on the side immediately handed over an arquebus, more than a thousand people, or took off the bow and arrow, or raised the firearm, the horses slowly walked forward, Liu Shisan aimed at the people who seemed to be headless flies dozens of steps away, and pulled the trigger.
The arrows were like rain, the fire was like thunder, and the people who had no will to resist fell to the ground in pieces, Liu Shisan threw away the firecracker, blew a flirtatious whistle, drew his saber and rushed forward......
