Chapter 356: Platoon

When the Mongol cavalry rushed over to cut the fence, they also saw arquebuses raised, but no one was ready to dodge or make defensive moves.

In the process of fighting with the border army of the Ming Dynasty over the years, they have seen a lot of all kinds of firearms of the Ming army, most of which are things that have no power at all, such as three-eyed and swarm bees, which basically rely on the smoke emitted to smoke people.

Therefore, the border army of the nine sides also relied on strong bows and arrows to compete with the Mongolian cavalry, and these things were not lethal at all in their impression, and the people in the front row covered their faces with weapons, which was the case with this reclamation manor in their opinion.

It was about the size of a fingernail, and a lead shot weighing about two taels hit the human body at this distance, as if a giant picked up a large iron hammer of the same proportion, and swung it horizontally, smashing it heavily on the person. It doesn't matter if you're wearing armor or not, you'll be smashed.

These Mongolian soldiers who rushed to the front obviously couldn't even say that they were the elite of the tile spurs, but it was still the way to the gate outside the tile spur Mongolian army, and the horse bandits and small tribes who came to defect were already very remarkable.

There is no suspense, more than 100 people who walked in the front were even directly beaten and fled, a little longer than the expected scream, the arquebus used by the Jiang family army is completely made in accordance with the concept of heavy arquebuses in Europe, if it is in the field, it is necessary to carry a wooden fork stick to support the arquebus, because it is now behind the fence, so the partition has been nailed to the fence in advance, and the arquebus is directly placed on it to shoot outside, so as to ensure the density of shooting on one surface.

Although the lead shot of the arquebus has no penetrating power, but the distance of more than ten steps, it is such a heavy arquebus, the lead shot penetrates the human body and enters the body of the soldiers behind, and the screams often come from these people.

The Mongols not to mention any military doctors and the like, such a lead pellet hits the body, and the heavy metal lead will quickly necrotic their body.

The sudden blow suddenly startled the careless Tile Spur forwards, looking at the corpses that fell to the ground in front of them and the companions who screamed loudly, they were all stunned there, they didn't even know that the most important thing to do at this time was to lie on the ground immediately, but the action of lying on the ground was still nearly a hundred years later before the infantry dodged the prescribed action of hot weapons, and now the closest to the fence is about thirty steps, you must know that the range of the arquebus is close to about one hundred steps.

"Bang" a series of loud sounds, this time the larger horses also began to suffer, neighing, people's screams and exclamations have been completely masked, the horses are far from hesitating or panicking, their most essential action is to turn around and run.

Although the valley on both sides was alluvial for many years, there were wide open spaces, but a large number of cavalry were crowded here, and when they were rushed by these startled horses, they were crowded together and began to be chaotic.

The troops of the Jiang family army are now half spearmen and half arquebusiers, and when Huifeng Manor was established, there were about 500 of them in storage, and now a lot of the work of the spearmen is handed over to the regimental training to do, but after 1,500 arquebusiers shot one by one behind the fence, the crowded and chaotic tile spur cavalry left more than 400 corpses and finally retreated.

The spearmen and regimental trainers stood in front of the wooden fence with their spears, and the wooden fences on both sides were partially not rooted in the ground, and the people shouted and removed them.

The guards who had been waiting behind for a long time suddenly whistled, and the prancing horses rushed out, and the sharpened wooden spears were especially easy for them to obtain, and they could just walk on the hill with steel knives. The guards were already familiar with the movement on horseback, although not as good as the Mongolian herders who immersed themselves in it day and night, but it was enough.

The guards who rushed to the front held wooden shields in front of them with one hand, and with the other hand off the reins and held a short wooden spear, their bodies leaning back, and the hand holding the wooden spear stretched to its maximum length. The retreating cavalry withdrew from the range of the arquebus, and was in shock.

While tidying up there, the soldiers of the Tile Spur Mongols did not expect that the other party would rush out of the wooden fence at all, they always felt that if the other party had the courage to come out to fight, they would not always shrink behind the wooden fence, and this thought was completely broken when the guards rushed out of it.

Instead of being more panicked, the guards rode quite well, despite the corpses of horses and men scattered across the river valley, but the guards were not affected by this at all, they all made strange-looking movements on their horses, and their backs were about to stick to the horses, in the eyes of the Mongol soldiers, at this time it should be a scimitar or a flat-ended spear.

But no one thought about it, and now they were all dizzy from the deafening arquebus, and only a few of them raised their horned bows and shot them.

Some of the guards were shot, and they were planted directly from their horses, but more of them used the wooden shields in their hands to block the attack. As they approached the Mongols, the bodyguards lifted up as if a tensed bow board suddenly loosened.

The short wooden spear in his hand was thrown out by the momentum of the horse and the strength of the body, and this kind of close-range throwing was even more powerful than the arquebus, and the leather robes on the cavalry were useless, and the wooden spears were directly pierced by the sharpened wooden spears.

A large number of screams rang out, and the guards drew their broadswords and axes, and began to slash and fight, the throwing of wooden spears and the slashing at close range, a series of attacks completely stunned these avant-garde thorn soldiers, and now they just wanted to run, to run in the direction they came.

One person's escape quickly affected ten people, and it suddenly developed into a big rout, and the bloody ferocity of the guards has been completely stimulated, anyway, what is now in front of them is also a group of routs, in the battlefield of the cold weapon era, the biggest casualties are when chasing the fleeing and routed enemy troops, this time it is no exception, the tile spur cavalry is to give their backs to the guards, and what the guards do is just to slash and kill the rout.

It was about the time of the two pillars of incense, and the sound of a horn sounded in the wooden fence, and the happy guards stopped the pursuit with some regret, and turned their horses back to the station.

These guards also knew that continuing the pursuit was where the army of the Tile Spurs was.

After the guards returned to the wooden fence, the people shouted and moved the wooden fence back to its original position, and sealed it tightly, and the wooden fence was first a small conversation with everyone, and then it was the cheers of the earth, and only as soon as the battle was engaged, only a dozen people died on their side, and the Tartars at least dropped thousands of corpses.

Although everyone is outside the gate, if this is considered a military merit, how can it be said that it can also have a grade, whether it is the Minzhuang who is responsible for carrying it inside, Jiang Feng's soldiers and regimental training, and the newly recruited guards, they are all shouting loudly there:

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

The height of the wooden fence was not high, so a large number of slaves turned down from the wooden fence, and when they arrived at the battlefield, all the corpses of the people had to be gathered and burned, and the corpses of the horses had to be dragged back into the wooden fence, Jiang Feng never thought that this was a quick war.

The salt outside the customs basically depends on the sea salt of Korea and Liaodong, but these private salts are under the control of Huazhou, and there are also foreign reclamation estates that try to transport salt in Tianjin, but in fact, the sea transportation is completely controlled by the navy and pirates subordinate to Jiang Feng, and can only be taken by land.

If the cost of land transportation is outrageously high, the reclamation manor outside the customs is still a pure money-making unit in the final analysis, not to mention that the price of salt in Huazhou is not high, the major manors are hoarding a lot of inventory, and the Huifeng manor, which has a convenient waterway, has a large amount of salt in hand, this time under Jiang Feng's request, these salts were transported, and the dead war horses were quickly salted with salt and reserved.

The corpse must be disposed of, this is quite a troublesome thing, the place where the Tile Thorn army is located is upstream, and the place where Jiang Feng is located is downstream, although it is now October, but the temperature is not cold, if you leave those corpses alone, it will definitely pollute the water source because of the decay and deterioration of the corpses, then the matter is a big deal.

The slaves looked in horror at the other side of the battlefield, flanked by densely wooded mountains, and fled into it only to die and flee down the valley to the Mongols, who had never been kind to their captives.

Now they can only burn these corpses as soon as possible, and then run back to the wooden fence, at least there is meat to eat these days, the human corpses are quickly piled up, covered with firewood and grass, set on fire, and the horse corpses are thrown on the raft that has been dragged over, and the people on the pontoon bridge will naturally dispose of these horses. Despite the fears of the captives, the Tile Thorn cavalry did not appear, and the slaves returned to the wooden fence in shock.

However, in Jiang Feng's military tent, there was no cheering for victory, and the 1,500 arquebuses only carried out the first round of firing today, and fifteen of them were blown up, which was only one shot......
