Chapter 557: Iron Horse

Xi Lingse didn't listen to the sentry cavalry anymore, he had already seen the cavalry contingent appearing on the horizon.

Under the sun, on the blanket-like ground mixed with green grass and yellow grass, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared.

What a spectacle, what a magnificent spectacle, as if a huge lake had suddenly appeared on the horizon, and the glittering rays of iron and silver armor refracted each other, forming a huge iron curtain.

The mirror-like lake moves forward......

The earthquake trembled......

Iron and silver armor, warriors and cavalry, jumping horses, solid iron armor, red tassels dancing on iron helmets......

Raised swords, mounted spears, firearms......

This is an iron horse, an out-and-out iron horseman, an invincible, and an iron horse that breaks the formation!

All the Mongols felt their blood congealed, and Xi Lingse's face instantly turned pale, as if he were a dead man.

Yes, the Mongols are a people on horseback, they grew up on the steppe, they began to learn to ride horses from the time they could walk, they herded on horses, moved, even if they went to the door to visit relatives, they had to rely on horses, they began to ride horses and shoot arrows when they grew up, the more so, the deeper they felt the power of the cavalry, the iron horse in front of them, although there were less than two thousand people, but it had an incomparably strong strength, this power was so great that it was completely difficult for them to have a sense of resistance, everyone felt, in front of this iron horse, All resistance is meaningless, and if you wait for someone else, you will be torn to shreds in an instant!

There are some Taiji and generals with a look of shame on their faces, this is the grassland, for thousands of years, the grassland has been born one after another nomadic people to establish the hegemony, including the Xiongnu, Rouran, Turkic, Khitan, and finally dominate this grassland, there will never be a new nomad appeared is Mongolia, across the universe, sweeping the world of Mongolia!

Xi Lingse raised his right hand and shouted: "The enemy army is only more than 2,000 people, we have more than 30,000 people here, and there are more than 20,000 people in the front and rear teams, as long as we fight with them and come to the back, we can wipe out all the cavalry of He Yusheng here!" ”

More people conveyed Xi Lingse's words loudly, and the horsemen and herdsmen held back the throbbing of their hearts, shouted loudly, trumpets, drums and trumpets, and people raised their weapons in their hands, or untied their riding bows, put on bows and arrows, and began to prepare to meet the enemy.

The cavalry of the merchant regiment rushing was actually 2,100 people!

There were also nearly 600 auxiliary cavalry, but they were far behind, ready to come forward to assist in the battle after the main force broke through the enemy's formation, gathered the horses, and pursued the fleeing enemy.

Yes, and Yusheng's generals have already announced that before the cavalry battle begins, they will call the auxiliary soldiers to prepare to pursue the fleeing enemy!

The two strands began to hedge!

The Mongols' arrays were very scattered, which was also their usual formation, compared with their three hundred years of invincible and well-equipped ancestors, they only had horsemanship and archery, they did not dare to use dense formations to hedge with the merchant cavalry, and could only use the scattered regimental queue battle method, using bows and arrows to meet the enemy.

The two sides soon approached, and when they were within a hundred paces, the Mongols' bows and arrows began to shoot incessantly, and the sky suddenly darkened, and I don't know how many arrows flew rapidly into the sky!

…… It didn't take long for the horizon to suddenly light up, followed by a deafening roar!

This is the cuirassiers playing firearms, this time the cavalry battle, and Yusheng rarely mobilized almost all the cavalry now, the cuirassiers alone are two full divisions, more than 1,300 people within sixty steps to break into the Mongolian cavalry formation in a diagonal array, and then release in batches!

The crackling sound of bows and arrows was suppressed by the roar of the firecrackles!

Iron pills flew in the air, breaking through the yellow dust and mud and sand grass roots flying in the sky, and suddenly flew into the Mongolian cavalry, iron pills spun at high speed, shot people and horses, shot in the head, shot in the chest, shot in the limbs, shot in the waist and abdomen, shot anywhere in the horse's body, blood flowed, men and horses screamed, all those who were shot, their muscles and bones were broken, and they fell to the ground, or they were seriously injured, or they died, or they howled, or groaned, or died silently.

Once released, the Mongols were beaten badly!

Despite many encounters with the cuirassiers, the Mongols still found it difficult to adapt to the sharp firearms of these cavalry, and their cavalry bows still crackled like fried beans, but in the roar of fire, the Mongol cavalry fell off their horses like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.

The cuirassier kept inserting obliquely, reloading on the way to gallop, and followed by the ironclad cavalry in double armor or even triple armor led by Zhou Yao and other officers, the cavalry phalanx was extremely tight, the long knife was in front, the sharp saber was in the back, and under the impact of the neat cavalry, there were almost no Mongolian cavalry who dared to meet the enemy in person, and the cavalry passed by, cutting the Mongolian queue like a knife cutting tofu, and the Mongolians were invincible and dodged one after another, when the cavalry rushed through, only the people and horses and corpses left all over the ground, And the iron cavalry fell off their horses and died, and there were very few of them.

"Shhh Startled by a slashing projectile, the warhorse stood tall and neighed in place.

A cavalryman on Xi Lingse's side was hit by this projectile, and his head exploded like a watermelon, and the scene was so tragic that the faces of those present changed color.

More than 2,000 cavalry like heavy swords, stabbed into the more than 30,000 cavalry, cut it in the middle, attacked its weakest point, so that its head and tail could not care, when the cavalry all rushed past, the Mongols' large array was already confused, the head and tail did not care about each other, the middle was mixed together, almost no formed armor soldiers were gathered together to resist, everywhere was a nest of herdsmen and armor soldiers running around, the generals and Taiji only cared about their own guards running back and forth in the same place, they were at a loss, they did not know how to fight this battle at all.

This is not an exaggeration, more than 2,000 elite cavalry, the combat power is not under the Donglu, far above the ordinary Ming border army, and the Ming border army with a scale of two or three thousand people, led by a general or deputy general, chased the Beiyu tribe to the north, and beheaded hundreds or even more than a thousand records, abound.

There are only a few strongmen in the north, such as the first and Altan Khan, who can deter the various departments, select the armor soldiers, and train them in peacetime, so that their cavalry can confront the Ming army head-on, and the rest are all inaction, do not gather more than 100,200,000 people, and do not dare to go south, so in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the records of the entry of the Mongolian departments are almost at least the scale of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, and after the rise of the Eastern captives, the army sent by Lin Dan Khan several times is completely vulnerable, and the eastern Mongolian departments have no way to deal with the thousands of Eastern cavalry. After many years of fiasco, Lin Dan Khan and more than 100,000 people in the Han Department were chased by thousands of miles like rabbits, and when they moved westward, they easily defeated the Western Mongolian coalition army of Baihong Dataiji and Bu Shitu Khan's Tumut tribes.

The men and horses were screaming, no one could reorganize the queue, many cavalry and herdsmen were still subconsciously releasing arrows, their soft bows and arrows were useless to the merchant cavalry wearing heavy armor or breastplates, and the horses were also wearing chain mail, only a few cavalry fell off their horses because their horses were shot and fell off their horses, compared to the number of more than 2,000 people, the cavalry that fell was almost negligible.

“…… The cart formation of the merchant soldiers also pressed up. ”

Xi Lingse was shocked, the person who had just been killed was too close to him, his brain burst, blood splashed, and there seemed to be blood dripping on his body, as the most noble Taiji among the Mongols, Xi Lingse had never experienced such a scene, and then he suddenly remembered his dead father, his father Su Nang died in the war with the Shang Tuanbing, at this time, thinking of this kind of thing did not make Xi Lingse angry, on the contrary, he was even more timid.

At this time, a knight shouted loudly, in the south there is a long car formation that is close to the mile, from east to west obliquely to the battlefield to press over, and the horror of the Yusheng car camp is still far above the cavalry, the cavalry duel, good or good to fight in a dignified manner, encounter the car formation, can only see the convoy of non-stop spraying fire, even the shadow of the enemy can not see the death of a piece, in the last month, and Yusheng took the initiative to attack the number has increased greatly, bringing serious losses to the departments, in addition to the cavalry, The car array is also the most headache for the Mongols.

Everyone around him was panicked, and one Taiji said to Xi Lingse: "Xi Lingse Taiji, what should we do now?" ”

Xi Lingse subconsciously shouted: "How do I know? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this!

After half a ring, an old Taiji shouted: "Hurry up and order the whole army to shrink to us and line up in a half-moon formation!" ”

Xi Lingse hurriedly ordered!

The banners were unfurled, the horns sounded, and the chaotic Mongol cavalry finally began to converge in the middle, if they could successfully get closer, the wings were swinged, and the middle was filled with soldiers and horses, it was a successful formation.

But the merchant cavalry did not give them enough time to set up their formation, and while the Mongols were retracting, the cavalry, which had been running around the road, suddenly fell back diagonally.

"Damn ......"

The sound of popping beans sounded again, and another group of people turned on their backs, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry were shot off their horses.

In the past, the Mongolian cavalry was the most sophisticated and powerful force in the world, but now tens of thousands of people are like no one by more than 2,000 cavalry, and now they can't even put out an array......

A large number of cavalry were harvested like wheat and died, and there was a chaotic scene of people turning over on their backs everywhere, at this time Xi Lingse woke up to the fact that his side was not the opponent of the merchant soldiers at all!

"Let's go!" Xi Lingse shouted: "There are few of them, and there are many of us, so we scattered and fled, see how they chase them." ”

When it comes to horsemanship, the Mongols still have self-confidence, but they use more people to avoid the pursuers with fewer people, which is not a taste to hear, and at this time, no one will say the absurdity and helplessness in Xi Lingse's words.
