Chapter 358: Death Sprint
30,000 fearless tribal soldiers rushed all the way to the capital of Yuan, rested for three days at the foot of the mountain north of the capital, and enjoyed the good wine and meat sent from the capital.
There is no need for Kublai Khan to do pre-war mobilization, after a few good meals, even if he dies in battle immediately, these people will not regret it. Their living conditions are very bad, there are countries or forces that they can't provoke on the left and right, they just survive on the barren land, they struggle on the edge of life and death almost every day, and they are extremely indifferent to death.
For a piece of land that can be inhabited by the clansmen in the future, their already not very bright minds have become more fanatical and eager, and they can't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. In Kublai Khan's eyes, these people were just a herd of talking livestock, not much higher than the rank of the Han people in the south, so the mission of the battlefield touchstone should be completed by them.
In the early morning when the north wind began to howl, a team slowly drove from the direction of Yuan Dadu, some of them rode horses and some walked, the weapons in their hands were also varied, and the clothes on their bodies were even more disorderly, not like a qualified army at all.
If it was the army of the Song Dynasty in the past, it would definitely laugh at this army called Huazi, with a dark face and an emaciated figure, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a high combat effectiveness, just like the meat shield that the Yuan army often drove to death in front of the battle.
But now, when these officers who have learned through the martial arts hall train their soldiers, the first thing they tell them is not to despise any enemy, as long as they are alive, there is a great threat, and the best way to prevent these threats from falling on them is to kill them in the simplest way.
Therefore, the confusion they brought with them did not have any impact on the Song army, and even the cavalry teams that cooperated with them and gathered from Daxing Mansion were of the same level in the battlefield intelligence analysis of the Song army, that is, the "active enemy".
"Knock knock!"
The Hongyi cannon fired a row of more than a dozen shells in the direction they came from, exploding patches of blood in the dense ranks, which was almost two miles long, plus enough lethality, which was fired by the Song army to judge the purpose of this ragged army.
If a platoon of shells blows them up and they turn around and run, then the next key target is the cavalry of Daxingfu, and the firearms battalion will adjust the aiming direction of the artillery according to the proportion, and make a prediction of the main direction of the enemy's attack.
If this group of men and horses is not afraid of life and death, the main force is disguised, then this row of artillery may expose their horses' feet, then the cavalry and infantry who have already mounted their horses and are ready to fight will rush out of the camp and prepare to meet the enemy.
After the team was shelled, they were just stunned for a moment, and then the shattered corpses and blood stimulated their nerves, and they raised their heads to the sky and roared strange sounds, and they rushed directly towards the Song army in an orderly manner.
The distance of this section is a bit long, even the soldiers of the Yuan army will not accelerate so early, not to mention that they are messy mounts, and there are even many people who run with their legs, and they still have the strength to fight when they try their best to run to the front of the battle?
Seeing their reaction, the Song army immediately made corresponding countermeasures, and the phalanx of cavalry troops and infantry had their own missions and made corresponding preparations in the direction they came. The soldiers of the firearms battalion were busy, quickly adjusting the direction of the gun carriage and gun mount, and the shells for various tactical purposes were also ready, and they would be fired immediately after aiming.
The ensuing shelling was like frying beans in an iron pot, the sound of the cannon fired and the sound of the shells falling on the Yuan army and exploding formed a piece that made it impossible to distinguish the rhythm, whether it was another cannon or a shell explosion.
The cavalry who came out of Daxing Mansion involuntarily clamped the belly of the horse, slowly reducing the speed, the Song army's artillery formed a deep impression on them, and the fear from the heart made them unwilling to directly face the enemy's artillery fire, which had an extremely significant impact on the soldiers.
Li Yiming rode a tall horse in armor and led the cavalry brigade in front of the Song army's position, quietly waiting for an opportunity suitable for attack. He did not despise any enemy who came to attack, but attached great importance to the enemy running from afar, and those who could run in front of the Song army's position in the covering bombardment of artillery fire were elite, which deserved his respect and attention.
The ranks of 30,000 men were constantly melting and disintegrating, and in the dense artillery bombardment, the speed of their forward impact did not decrease, but accelerated after some excitement, and they were not afraid of the previous road of death.
"Roar!"
The crossbowmen in the infantry phalanx are preparing, and the crossbowmen are now dual-wielding, and they are accompanied by an auxiliary soldier who allows him to fire a third crossbow arrow at the fastest speed.
Behind them are ordinary longbow shooters, they are the most numerous, and the task of combat readiness is also the most important, they are all divided into three layers, relying on the coordination of time to launch armor-piercing cones, UU reading books to form an uninterrupted firepower network.
The bows and arrows they could fire were only four or five, and according to the cavalry speed of the Yuan army, after they had shot a few armor-piercing cones, they would also turn around and retreat, giving up the next battle to the long grabber with the iron-shelled thunderbolt in his hand.
They were the last line of defense for the Song Dynasty infantry, which of course meant that in this round of defensive counterattacks, the strong crossbowmen and archers who had already arrived behind them would continue to fire crossbows to cover their safety. After throwing the thunderbolts in their hands, they had to bow their bodies downward, resist the spears in their hands, and meet the onrushing enemy with a forest of guns.
The infantry of the Song Dynasty was arranged in a clear and orderly manner, according to the range of the weapons in their hands, they used continuous means to kill the rushing Yuan army, and when they rushed to within 100 steps of the Song army, there were only 5,000 or 6,000 soldiers left.
After two rounds of bows and arrows, only seven or eight hundred cavalry approached within thirty paces of the Song army's infantry soldiers, and the rest of them had fallen on the road forever, and should not have a chance to complete this road of death.
After the bombing and the people at close range shouted and neighed, the last remaining 200 or so cavalry, although they were already wounded, still urged the mounts under their crotches and rushed towards the shining cold gun.
"It's really a group of mentally retarded, where did Kublai Khan transfer the ghost to send him to death, in order to see my tactical arrangement, I don't know if I was sent out by Kublai Khan to send him to death."
Zhao Tianyou sat leisurely on the back of the big black, and when he saw the performance of the cavalry in Daxing Mansion cowering, he could guess Kublai Khan's intentions, this ragged tribal warrior was by no means a Mongol, but Kublai Khan threw out a touchstone to test him, and he had been abandoned by the Yuan army from the time he was killed.
