Chapter 247: Hedging

Zhou Daniu looked at the fortifications formed by the miners not far away, calculated the distance and wind speed, and planned to personally lead people to shoot those miners, although he also sympathized with these people, but he ran thousands of miles with Yu Shiqian, and there were countless innocent lives in his hands, Zhou Daniu's heart has become very hard.

"Big bull, it's not right, it's broken!"

Cheng Fang suddenly whispered at this time, and Zhou Daniu said: "What's the big deal, you are talking like this......

As soon as he turned his head, when he saw the scene under the hillside, he was suddenly stunned, and at this moment, Zhou Daniu felt that the blood all over his body was solidified, just like when he was a child, he stole the family's food, and his body reacted after his father stopped drinking, timid, scared, and stiffened.

As a leader of thieves who has fought thousands of miles, Zhou Daniu's mind is strong enough, but the situation at this moment still makes him unable to calm down.

Like the scene in a nightmare, an army of more than 1,000 people appeared in the distance in a neat manner, one phalanx after another lined up closely, the snare drums kept beating, the army marched forward with neat steps, and almost all of them moved exactly the same, without the slightest difference or change.

Spears, birds, spears are like forests, and under the sun, they are like a steel from the forest.

These officers and men also had a small number of cavalry, probably less than two hundred, and they galloped on both flanks to surround the thieves' cavalry.

"The foot is neat, and the orders are strict." Zhou Daniu said to Cheng Fang with a pale face: "This is the elite of the Datong border army?" ”

"No matter how I look at it, it's like it's all family." Cheng Fang's face was also pale, and his tone was full of doubts.

Not only him, but Zhou Daniu was also puzzled.

They are from the border army, almost all the Ming Nine-sided Army in the Salhu War has arrived, and there is also the Southern Ming Army, no matter which one of them, there is no momentum of this army in front of them!

Yes, as majestic as a mountain, and as majestic as a whole, the whole army is as majestic and imposing as a whole!

More than 1,000 people, like a whole, stepped on the same pace in the light drum beat, each phalanx is a banner display, under the command of the banner of the Chinese army without the slightest disorder, just this kind of military formation shows something, everyone who has fought knows how great and not easy it is!

It can be said that Zhang Han's army scored a beautiful perfect score for the first neat appearance for the first time!

"No," Zhou Daniu came back to his senses and said, "Even if it's a family member, he doesn't practice so neatly." ”

The family is generally cavalry, there is almost no infantry, which general will not call his own soldiers and family as the role of ordinary battalion soldiers, the family is fed with silver warriors, riding and archery and fighting skills are first-class, usually practice also hard, but most of the practice of cavalry, encounter desperate battles is to follow the general to find the gap of the enemy, a rush in, "chisel" in, you can win.

If the battle is unfavorable, the generals flee on horseback, rarely encountering heavy losses, and the losses are generally battalion soldiers, anyway, worthless cannon fodder.

Li Rusong Dynasty, Xian First Battle, the Battle of Bihuguan seemed to be a heavy loss, but later discouraged, the main reason is that the casualties were the elite family members of the Li Mansion who had been fighting with Li Chengliang for many years, and it seemed that the loss of more than 1,000 people was actually more distressing than the death of 10,000 battalions, and the Li family was also very injured.

But almost all of these soldiers in front of me are infantry!

Cheng Fang said in a panic: "Big Niu, are we still going to attack those miners?" ”

"Slowly descend the mountain, and cooperate with the main force on the mountainside to stop this army." Zhou Dadao: "It's also strange to look at their military uniforms, if we can't stop it today, I'm afraid we will all have to die here." ”

……

The first thing Yu Shiqian and the others saw was not the infantry team.

If they saw the infantry team from the perspective of Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang at the first time, it was one thing whether they had the confidence to resist or not, and they would probably choose to flee as soon as possible.

The first thing they saw was the cavalry, two or three miles away was the Pingchuan terrain, and the thieves' cavalry happened to be deployed there, and when the cavalry on both sides began to fight, Yu Shiqian and the others saw that the cavalry was almost the same as entangled and fighting.

The cavalry of the thieves immediately noticed the attacking cavalry, and all the cavalry who were singled out as cavalry among the thieves were old men, and they had to be extremely brave, and they did not flinch or fear, and when they found that the attacking cavalry was about the same number as themselves, these cavalry shouted and rushed over.

Different from the archer cavalry, these rogue cavalry have quite a lot of iron scale armor, they were originally border troops, and they brought out a lot of iron armor on the battlefield, and in the process of circulating thousands of miles, they also obtained some army standard weapons and armor, which were preferentially equipped to the cavalry.

More than 100 patrol archers and more than 100 rogue cavalry quickly entered the range of the opponent.

No one wants to hedge, the archer cavalry is Zhang Han's top baby, and the opposite side is also the same, both sides have the idea of a long-range duel.

Zhu Dayong and more than 100 cavalry gradually adjusted their direction, and the cavalry on the opposite side was the same, both sides took out their bows and arrows or threw weapons in their hands.

After entering the hundred paces, the speed of the horses on both sides increased, and the thieves first released the reins, and most of them held bows in their left hands and arrows in their right hands, and then the sound of collapsing bowstrings sounded.

Zhu Dayong also held a bow and arrow in his hand, and there were several guards beside him, who were holding throwing spears and throwing axes and knives in their hands, and it was not yet time to throw.

The arrows flew over, and several of the archers and cavalry were shot, and they fell heavily and dismounted, making a dull sound.

Some of the archers' horses were shot, and several arrows pierced the neck and chest of the horses, and the horses' feet became weak, and then the riders were thrown to the ground by the horses, and they fell very badly, and they were all seriously injured.

Falling from a galloping horse is almost as life-threatening as being slashed with a knife.

"Collapse!"

Zhu Dayong didn't keep his voice at night, he had a lot of combat experience, and the arrow he sent out was very powerful, and the aim was accurate, hitting the neck of an enemy horse, and the thief fell straight out of the head of the war horse at high speed, and his neck and head were completely twisted after falling to the ground, obviously dead.

"Bidding guns, throwing knives!"

The two sides are staggered with each other galloping, bows and arrows keep flying, constantly someone falls off the horse, every person falls off the horse is almost dead and alive, in the fierce shooting of both sides make a coughing shout, in the nearly twenty steps or so, the two sides of the wrong horse, the archers throw their bones and throwing spears and broadswords, these throwing weapons as long as they hit is to the enemy seriously injured, in this round the archers excellent equipment played a powerful role, the thieves on the side of the fall and serious injuries increased significantly, but at close range, The opponent's cavalry bow also had a significant killing effect, and many archers' horses were shot, and people also fell off their horses.

Zhu Dayong felt very distressed, these archers were originally very ordinary, most of them were ordinary people, they had ridden horses or mules for a while, and they were selected to become cavalrymen, and they have been practicing archery and riding for a few months, and their growth rate is very fast, after all, the night of the border army is selected from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, but the training time and treatment are far from being compared with the archers, the degree of food and clothing and military pay are thousands of miles apart, these archers practice very hard, and those who stay are good seedlings, It's a pity that he died like this today at the hands of a group of rogue cavalry.

After a round of shooting, both sides dropped dozens of people from each other, and there was a fierce sound of gongs and drums behind the thieves, which was ordered by Yu Shiqian to cheer up the cavalry, they only found the cavalry, and felt that this was an elite family, with Yu Shiqian and others' understanding of the Ming army, most of these cavalry were the generals' families, as long as this group of soldiers was solved, they might make the battalion soldiers behind retreat without a fight.

"They don't have many elite family members." A thief leader himself was a petty officer's family member, he pointed to the cavalry opposite and shouted: "You see that most of them are cotton armor, and there are no armor-piercing ones, some of them are good at riding, but they are not good at fighting and archery immediately, and there are only dozens of elite family members among them, brothers, don't panic, let's beat these cavalry and win!" ”

At this time, no one thought about attacking the mountain guarded by the miners on Duyuling, and if they really wanted to fight, they would definitely be able to fight down, but there was a threat from the Ming army in front of them, of course, to see if they could fight it.

A leader grabbed Lao Zhou and scolded: "Dog, didn't you say that you bandits can't meet the border army for a few years, how can there be here?" ”

Lao Zhou was sprayed with spittle, and he didn't dare to wipe it, he was also puzzled in his heart, and said: "If I talk nonsense, you don't have a word about skinning me, but before our big cabinet was killed by that Zhang Han, we ate and drank spicy food, and I haven't heard of any border army really attacking it." You are all from the border army, have you ever heard of a general who took bandits seriously? ”

Yu Shiqian just wanted to speak, but as soon as his mouth opened, his whole face froze.

Everyone is the same, including Lao Zhou, many people's eyes are about to pop out.

The two bands of cavalry staggered by, and the losses on both sides were about the same, but on the side of the thieves they were met by a large force of the enemy, who let out desperate cries, and the cavalry became a disarray.

Before them, it was the neat and solid military formations like mountains that Zhou Daniu had just seen.

The military array is composed of a flag team, and the flag team is divided into pikemen and bird soldiers, a pike flag team begins to form the longest and largest phalanx, in front of the phalanx and in front of the front and left and right there are small phalanxes composed of bird guns, the whole phalanx in the cavalry confrontation began to be formally formed, to the cavalry staggered past each other, the phalanx finally formed, and began to slowly move forward.

The snow and bright tips of the spears formed a terrifying steel forest, because the gun array was too dense, and the rogue cavalry that was very close to the phalanx did not dare to approach at all, and they were afraid that they would not have any chance to get out after being entangled in the phalanx.
