Chapter 315: The Simplest Ambush Creates the Greatest Results

Shuang Yuri's eyes were red, and the flames of anger were almost about to erupt, and he was so passive at the beginning, this was not the scene he was looking forward to, and his mind was fighting with the only trace of reason left.

The light cavalry on both flanks were already in a predicament, and as long as he gave an order, the large cavalry force behind him would rush out to support the two light cavalry who were struggling to support. However, he had an idea in his mind, and the cannon in the middle had already made him see how powerful it was just now, and his heart suddenly trembled a few times, and he hesitated a little, and even had the idea of turning back.

Fancheng Xiangyang, who came to support, had fallen into the hands of the Song army, and he led this support force in the wrong direction, and the hat of delaying the fighter plane must have been put on.

As long as there is a slight record in the battle of Fancheng, he will be able to explain it when he goes back, and the artillery position of the Chinese army on the opposite side is like a piece of braised pork with a fragrance, constantly tempting him, if he can snatch a few artillery pieces and go back, it will be a great achievement.

But the rumbling cannon sound has already shown their power, and on the road that is still flowing with blood, there are so many corpses that have not cooled, how can they be snatched? There are tens of thousands of iron-blooded troops behind him, and their combat power is still full, and they can rush forward at any time, but whether they can succeed in the end is unknown.

When Shuanghu hesitated, the artillery of the Song army did not delay for a moment, and the newly sorted artillery had already entered the firing state, and the first wave of artillery under the wave of the flag opened fire, and the adjusted impact point directly entered the cavalry brigade of the Yuan army.

At the same time as the explosion in the team began, Shuang Huri also made up his mind, and gave an order to attack the whole army, with only one purpose and one goal, that is, to grab a few pieces of Song army's artillery, if he could return to Yuan Dadu with a few artillery, no matter how big a mistake he made this time, he could write it off.

"Kill! Rush! ”

Shuanghuri drew his saber and raised it high into the sky, then pointed at the Song artillery position that stood still in the middle.

Fifty or sixty thousand cavalry shouted together, urging the horses under their crotches, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded, and countless cavalry lay on their horses and rushed towards the Song army's position. Under such an offensive, Zhao Tianyou, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was nervous in his heart, and he was a little worried.

After all, there are only 200 artillery pieces outside the city, and the interval between the firing of cannonballs and the number of detached cannonballs are all limited by quantity, and once the number of Yuan troops exceeds that value, countless cavalry will rush directly to the artillery carriage.

The 20,000 cavalry behind their artillery did not urge the horses, they waited anxiously for orders, in the cavalry battle, the impact of speed was huge, and the passive defense was often the losing side.

In front of the artillery carriage array, there was a mixed team of 20,000 sword and shield men and archers, who trotted forward and formed a long straight line at the front, and the shield bearers raised their shields without fear to cover their comrades who had raised their longbows.

The two hundred artillery pieces kept firing in turns, and exploded one after another in the cavalry brigade of the Yuan army that rushed forward, causing a large number of casualties, but the number of Yuan troops was too large, and the gap blown by the shells was instantly blocked by the cavalry that followed closely.

Fifty or sixty thousand cavalry gathered in such a small area, and when they collectively rushed forward, it was even more shocking than the attack of Boyan's subordinates under the city of Guangzhou, after all, the attack surface at that time stretched for several miles. At present, the target of the Yuan soldiers' attack is only the point where the artillery of the two armies is stationed, and 50,000 or 60,000 people are working together towards hundreds of artillery trucks, and the situation is really precarious.

"Is it that there are fewer people arranged, why are the 20,000 cavalry hiding behind? It's a bit of a disadvantage to block the onslaught of cavalry with infantry! ”

Zhao Tianyou's worries are not unreasonable, although he is now in charge, he will not express his opinion until the time of extreme criticality. But today's formation arrangement, no matter how it looks, it's a bit awkward, the 20,000 infantry in front of me are simply meat sent to the mouths of the Yuan soldiers, I don't know how much it can be saved in a while.

"Hehe, General Zhao, I'm going to surprise you in a while, haha, look at it!"

Du Hu's face was almost overjoyed, the cavalry rolling outside the city was like a torrent that had opened the floodgates, and the lonely figures of the infantry in front of the battle were a little thin no matter how they looked.

Zhao Tianyou's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a method that was sometimes used to deal with cavalry, could it be that Du Hu had already been prepared, so he put on such a strange formation.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves was suddenly mixed with some chaotic roars, which were not the wounded soldiers and horses after the cannonball exploded, but the natural reaction of people when they were suddenly frightened.

The dust carried by the horse's hooves in the air obscured the view, and the unstoppable cavalry rushed towards the artillery position of the Song army, even if there was a slight accident, it would not change, because there were too many people in this torrent of iron horses.

But suddenly there was a trench several people deep on the ground, dug deep and wide, and poked with a sharp bamboo iron cone, as long as you fell into it, you don't want to retreat, and they are all one after another, and the horses naturally jump up and step over one, but they will definitely fall into the second one next to them.

Zhao Tianyou saw it clearly from the city, and couldn't help patting Du Hu's shoulder and said: "Okay, Lao Du, you all know that you have dug a pit secretly, when did you dig so much, why don't I know!" ”

"Haha, I can't tell you this, in the five or six days you went to Xiangyang, I worked hard every day, and I didn't dare to delay at all, this is a place that is stronger than Chen Longfu." Du Hu's face was proud, in order to overwhelm Chen Longfu's credit, he really worked hard.

In order to dig these traps, Du Hu mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers, and worked hard for several days before he became such a large scale in front of him, and at this time, the cavalry of the Yuan army who fell into the trap had at least 10,000 horses.

Unlike the shells that are constantly fired, falling into the formation can only kill and injure people with a small surrounding area, this is because the Yuan army is too dense, and the shells will definitely not miss without aiming, but the range of shrapnel scattering will not be very large.

But the trap is different, the pit is four or five zhang long, it is filled with people and horses, and the casualties in an instant are hundreds, and after the cavalry crosses it, it is facing the next trap.

The impact speed of the cavalry of the Yuan army dropped down at once, but the cavalry that kept surging behind him could not be controlled, and they could only use the horses in front of them as a block, so that they could slow down a little bit.
