Chapter 1080 Star Gorge Five
At the sound of Baturhun's order, a low horn sounded in the Mongol army's formation, and a strangely dressed man with a mask of green fangs and a bone staff in his hand suddenly came to the front of the battle and was beating drums and dancing.
The two Han banners in front of the array, seeing this scene, couldn't help muttering in their hearts, not understanding what kind of witchcraft these Mongols were doing. Some people couldn't help but look up at the sky, worrying if all of a sudden dark clouds were rolling, lightning and thunder, but the northwest sky was as calm as water, not only was it cloudless, but there was not even a trace of wind, which made some people laugh at the Mongols' witchcraft.
The Mongols have many beliefs, and before going on an expedition, they will ask the priest and priest to divinate a good fortune, and if the priest and the priest say that the expedition is unlucky, the tribal leader may even cancel the expedition.
However, this kind of ritual is generally done before the expedition, and it is rare to do divination and prayer when the two armies face each other.
Now Baturhun asked the priest to pray before attacking, which shows the importance he attached to the first battle and his eagerness to win.
The Jin army had already caught up from behind, and the 10,000 cavalry didn't know how long they could delay, leaving little time for Jungar.
A low trumpet pierced the sky, and in an instant, all Mongol tribes sounded their trumpets in response to the Khan's naming.
There was nothing more than preparation, the horn did not stop, and the forward cavalry of Jungger urged the horses out of the battle, and the horse's hooves changed from slow to urgent, and the cavalry charged along the road like the tide of the Qiantang River, like water flooding the golden mountain.
The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves is the source of courage for Mongolian warriors!
Under this iron hoof, the earth trembled, the wind and clouds changed, and the iron riders of Zhungar would be unstoppable.
Batur Hunhan stepped on the stirrup, sat up straight and looked into the distance, and saw that the vanguard rolled up the yellow dust in the sky, and the cavalry nodded slightly like a divine soldier in the clouds.
Dai Shan's face was a little solemn, to be honest, judging from the quality of the troops and soldiers, the Qing army was inferior to Zhungeer, but Dai Shan fought for decades, fought in the east and west, and broke countless enemies, he naturally would not be afraid of Zhunger, Batur Hun wanted to get a bargain on him, it was wishful thinking.
With such a terrain, there is basically no need to consider any roundabout raids, it is a hard encounter, and Dai Shan's general raised his hand and shouted, "Order!" Attack! ”
The cavalry of Jungger has been accelerated, if the cavalry of the Qing army does not move, it is an act of looking for death, they are not an infantry army, there is no strict formation to resist the Mongolian cavalry, standing will only be rushed to pieces, only to face the charge, the horse speed to the extreme, in order to compete with the Mongols.
The trumpet in the Qing army's formation was great, and the two Han flags that had been held in front for a long time were ordered to slap the war horses fiercely and shoot out like sharp arrows!
The sound of the horn urged people to forge ahead, and the cavalry on both sides rolled up the billowing yellow dust, like two smoking steam trains, rushing past, once they collided, it must be an earth-shattering scene.
After Xian Guoan and Xu Ban Zhifu heard the order, the two immediately raised their three-eyed guns and urged their horses to rush forward, "Brothers, kill!" ”
The cavalry of Zhunger, because of the backward productivity of the tribe, only had bows and arrows in addition to scimitars, and even few shields, but the Qing army occupied the Han land, and the productivity and technology were much stronger, and the equipment was more complex and diverse.
Over the years, in the war with the Ming Dynasty, the old Eight Banners, who were good at riding and archery, lost most of them, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty selected a group of people to join the Eight Banners, but it was obviously impossible for these new Eight Banners to have the same skilled equestrianism and exquisite archery skills as the old Eight Banners.
It took too long to train a cavalryman who was good at archery, and in the face of military pressure from the Southern Ming, the Manchus had to pay attention to firearms.
The distance of the cavalry was rapidly approaching, the cavalry in the front row of Jungar held a scimitar, the cavalry in the back row drew the bow and arrow into a full circle, the Qing army on one side, the front row used a three-eyed gun, and the rear row also galloped while bending the bow and pulling arrows.
In this way, when the two armies were rapidly approaching, in addition to the Qing army being able to throw a wave of arrow rain, the cavalry in the front row could also quickly shoot three guns.
The cavalry in the front row with the three-eyed gun has 1,000 horsemen, which is equivalent to 3,000 more projectiles.
"Kill!" With an angry scream, the line Guoan ignited the medicine line, and pieces of white smoke rose from the cavalry of the Qing army.
"Woohoo..."
Ten thousand hooves trampled the earth, splashed pieces of dust, the era of cold weapons, the most terrifying class of troops on the battlefield, about to have a big showdown, the cavalry of both sides, with the courage to fight to the death, crashed into each other.
The three-eyed gun did not have the same range as the bow and arrow, and as soon as the cavalry in the front line lit the fire, the cavalry behind loosened the bowstring.
Ten thousand sharp arrows rose into the air, like flying locusts, leaping over the heads of the cavalry in front of them, and suddenly shot into the galloping Mongol army.
The arrow struck the knight, and the knight immediately flew upside down, and the ownerless horse continued to gallop. The arrow hit the war horse, the war horse immediately neighed, and suddenly lost its hooves, and the knight above was thrown away because of inertia, and the whole person rolled out a few feet away, not enough to support the body, and the army behind had rushed up, and the knight was instantly overwhelmed by the iron hooves.
Countless voices neighed, and the moment the arrows fell, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry immediately rolled and landed.
Almost at the same time, the galloping Mongols also loosened their bowstrings, and when the Qing army was neutral, the people turned on their backs, and several times the arrows were fired, and the sharp arrows were stuck diagonally on the ground, and the shafts and tails of the arrows vibrated and made a buzzing sound.
A rain of arrows caused the cavalry with guns to lose 100 people, and at this time, the distance between the two armies finally entered the range of the three-eyed guns. "Bang Bang Bang..."
There was a dense bang, white smoke filled the front of the Qing army, and the projectiles hidden in the tube were shot out by the thrust of the gunpowder explosion.
In a very short period of time, the three-eyed gunner fired three shots in a row, Shang Zhixin hit the oncoming Mongolian cavalry with the first shot, the empty war horse galloped past him, and the other Mongolian cavalry raised the scimitar high, and the second gun was fired instantly, and the Mongolian cavalry was immediately knocked upside down and flew out.
Pieces of guns attacked, and the Mongolian cavalry suddenly fell like beans, but before the Qing army had time to see the results of the battle, the two armies had already slammed into each other.
The collision of two torrents is earth-shattering!
"Boom", the moment the two armies collided, you can immediately see dozens of people being thrown into the air because of the collision of war horses, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of soldiers are instantly a hundred times more violent.
The scimitar slashed through the chest of the Qing army, the blunt weapon smashed the heads of the Mongols, the two torrents collided violently, and the blood flowers bloomed, and the screams and shouts of killing were intertwined, almost maddening.
Line Guoan and Ban Zhifu broke into the formation of Zungar, and Line Guoan's three-eyed gun stoned four people to death in a row, and his heart was full of joy!
The cavalry of the Qing army and the Jungar army, each of them committed suicide through the military formation, and when they came out of the formation, they were all dead corpses and mourning war horses.
Neither army had a chance to regroup its formation, and there was no chance to accelerate again, so the cavalry of Jungar collided with the oncoming Mongol Eight Banners with a force of ten thousand moves.
The galloping horses with great impact force constantly rammed the enemies in front of them, and the scimitars of the cavalry flew up and down, slashing the hedged cavalry.
However, due to the continuous impact and impact, the cavalry of Zhunger, after breaking through a certain distance, the cavalry began to slowly lose its impact force, and the Han Eight Banners on the other side also could not rush.
