Chapter 484: Disarming
At this time, a cavalryman shouted: "Captain Qi, look at the right side of the northern captive!" ”
In the distance behind him, there was the sound of rumbling hordes of cavalry galloping, and the armoured knights of the brigade galloped from behind the right, and the shouts were mixed with the rumbling hooves of horses, which was not very real.
All the cavalry wore the standard dome iron helmet of the Yusheng cavalry, the iron helmet was decorated with red tassels, in the beating of the horses, the red tassels were like blooming flowers, under the red tassels were shiny cuirasses and armor made of large pieces of iron, and there were also some cotton armor with chain mail, the armor of this cavalry was not as uniform as Ma Wu's subordinates, but the majestic momentum was not inferior at all.
"Our cavalry!"
Someone shouted excitedly, although it was galloping, but the cuirassiers were very good at riding, and there was still some distance from the left flank of the northern captives, and people couldn't help but look back, the cavalry behind them, all armored, and the banner was also the banner of the merchant group, which was already obvious and Yusheng cavalry, but what reassured everyone was the queue of cavalry!
Very neat queue!
The cavalry of nearly 1,000 people is divided into three large formations, each formation is three rows, nearly 300 people are lined up into an extremely wide horizontal formation, and the distance between each person is also very close, almost less than one step away, it is very rare to maintain such a distance in the fierce galloping process, and only the cavalry of Yusheng can do it, and the north is far away!
The Mongolian cavalry on the right side to Ma Wu and other departments was in chaos all of a sudden!
Originally, they set up an ambush to invite the merchant soldiers, but as a result, nearly a thousand people rushed over at once, how could this battle be fought?
The Mongols are now no longer arrogant, in terms of horsemanship, they are very strong in individual horsemanship, they can control several horses by one person, they can change horses on the way to gallop, they can stand on the horses and shoot arrows, but this is of no use to birds...... The cavalry has long passed the age of personal martial arts and bravery, even the Mongolian cavalry hundreds of years ago actually relied on the battle to fight, and now they have already lost the ability of their ancestors, the nomads are riding and shooting as the foundation of their lives, and now these guys are only left to ride, and even the ability to shoot is far worse than the elite of the Donglu and the Ming army, although the cavalry of the merchant group has not yet rushed over with less than a thousand reinforcements, but the neat array, the mighty iron armor and the cold light of the weapons in the hands of the cavalry, the high-pitched shouts show extremely high morale, All this made the herdsmen-dominated right-hand Mongols unable to fight any longer, the herdsmen reined in their horses, some began to turn back, and more were in a dazed and embarrassing situation.
Even those Taiji and generals who led the troops didn't know what to do at this time.
If they go around again, they will be immediately beaten behind by the cavalry of the merchant group, and they don't know how miserable they will die, and they may be pursued by someone if they retreat immediately.
It was in this kind of situation that in a short time, the cavalry of the merchant regiment had already reached the core of the battlefield.
The banner is like a cloud, the sword is dazzling, and the entire cavalry array is almost like an iron wall.
Many Mongolian herders let out desperate cries, and many more subconsciously drew their bows and arrows.
"Collapse, collapse, collapse, collapse......"
The bowstring was stretched to a tight tension, and then the sound of loosening continued to sound, and the arrows were like flying locusts, covering the sky and the sun, but the power of the riding bow was too small, and it had almost no effect on the roaring and galloping cavalry array, and only a few of the endless cavalry fell off their horses after being shot by arrows, and some of the cavalry's mounts were shot at the point, and the horses stumbled and the knights fell down heavily.
This is the charm and risk of cavalry warfare, no one is absolutely safe, not even heavy armor!
The cavalry formation soon approached where the Mongols were, and the three large formations were almost parallel forward, controlling the entire battlefield, and the thin three-layer cavalry seemed to be thousands of troops, and it seemed to ignore all the enemies in front of them, so rampage, and rushed over unreasonably!
"Bang!"
Countless long straight knives were neatly held diagonally, hundreds of long knives formed an incomparably sharp and incomparably terrifying knife wall, a neat team, uniform horse speed, and unremitting training made the long knife formation like a whole, of course, the training time was not long, the overall cooperation of the knights still had some problems, the knife formation was not as neat as it seemed, but these were enough for the Mongols, which was enough to make them frightened, enough to make them collapse.
"Kill!"
When the distance was already within the range of the long knife attack, the whole platoon of cavalry roared together, and everyone sent the long knife in their hands forward......
It's not a split, it's not a swing, it's not a pick, it's a thorn!
This kind of long knife is also a standard long knife of Yusheng, both sides and the middle of the blade are open, sharp and abnormal, and the blade is very long, hundreds of long knives are raised side by side, sharp to the point, and like a wall to enter, people have a sense of irresistible powerlessness.
All the long knives were flattened together after the final burst out of shouting and killing, as if in front of the array, a long and snowy crystal wall suddenly appeared, at this moment, whether it was the North Captives who were facing the battle, the North Captives who wanted to escape, or the North Captives who were completely unconscious, at this moment, time stood still for them, and everything was over.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a stream of blood mist suddenly burst out in front of the crystal wall, this blood mist was so strong that it almost dyed the entire wall red, countless people were stabbed, blood sprayed wildly, and in front of the knife wall, it seemed to bloom a stream of blood-colored flowers, the Mongols were confused, some people subconsciously waved their spears or iron spears, some people waved their knives and rushed forward, and more people chose to flee, leaving their backs to the cavalry pursuing them.
Only a small number of northern cavalry passed through the gaps between the banners of the merchant cavalry and the cavalry, and then they were easily cut off by the long knives of the back two rows, and the sharp sabers slashed through the chests or necks of these people, and the heads fell to the ground, or opened huge chilling wounds, and some were cut on the horses, almost a face, and between breaths, countless more people were cut off their horses and died in the riding formation.
"Keep rushing!" Zhou Yao rode forward and gave a loud order, the trumpeter beside him blew the brass trump, and the captains of the flags kept lowering their flag guns and guiding the team to charge forward.
It was this charge that had completely routed the right side of the Mongols, and the cavalry continued to move forward and storm the Mongol center.
At this time, Ma Wu and others also came into contact with the northern captives on the left, and within a distance of dozens of paces, more than a hundred cavalry guns fired at once, and immediately shot down dozens of horsemen, and the Mongols on the left immediately became in chaos.
They were panicked, seeing the cuirassiers reload on their horses after a round, and swirl in front of them, these Mongols knew the tactics of the Ming people, and after loading, they just turned back to their sides and released them again, if they were too close, these cuirassiers would also use sabers to kill the road, as long as there was room for maneuver, they would not stop killing with their cavalry guns, and the bows and arrows could not hurt them, only they kept shooting their horses, hoping to shoot over the war horses to make these cavalry land to kill, However, now He Yusheng's war horse is also wearing cotton armor to protect the vital point, and it takes a lot of effort and luck to shoot over one, the cost is too great, too much to lose.
Everyone began to flee, whether it was a soldier or a herdsman, Ma Wu saw that the reinforcement array behind him was also a little chaotic, but it was still a formation to pursue the defeated and fleeing Beiyu, of course this battle was won, from the moment they found that the reinforcements appeared, the Mongols lost the will to fight, after the left and right wings were crossed, the armor soldiers also began to run, at this time Ma Wu found that there was a flag in the formation, he knew that it was a noble man in the Beiyu, remembering this task, it was to start commanding his subordinates, and galloped away in the direction of the Beiyu's formation.
On the undulating steppe, the cuirassiers were like flowing silver light, and under their illumination, the Mongol cavalry had an avalanche-like rout, without any discipline and resistance, and the horses without owners galloped in all directions, and the valley was in chaos, full of corpses and wounded moaning on the ground, and some people rode their horses to the hills on both sides, and when they reached a place where the horses were not easy to climb, they abandoned their horses and fled, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.
"Caught." The cuirassiers, including Ma Wu, cheered loudly.
…… After more than half an hour, the cavalry that cleaned up the battlefield was still faintly divided into two parts, Zhou Yao and his subordinates put on a posture of encirclement of the cuirassiers, not only Zhou Yao and his direct subordinates, but also a half-game cuirassiers who attacked, and they also surrounded Ma Wu and others helplessly.
A flag captain rode forward and said loudly: "I am ordered to disarm Ma Wu and the others and escort them back to the fort." ”
Ma Wu and others were in an uproar!
"On whose orders?" Ma Wu shouted, "What crime have we committed? ”
Zhou Yao stared at Ma Wudao: "On the orders of Officer Sun, the military law you have violated, the military law will be judged by the military law after you return to the fort, and what is required now is that you act according to the order." ”
Ma Wu's face hesitated, and the scene became very tense, and the cavalry on both sides unfolded their weapons or raised their rifles.
Ma Wu saw it, and his face showed a look of horror.
Zhou Yao still had an expressionless face, his eyes were firmly fixed on Ma Wu, his right hand was raised, and it seemed that as long as Ma Wu resisted, he would give the order to make a move.
"We are ordered, everyone, to hand over our sabers and rifles."
Ma Wu's face showed a look of pain, no matter what, he couldn't let Heyusheng's cavalry kill each other.
Ma Wu rode his horse to Zhou Yao, untied his saber, and said to Zhou Yao: "The only one who can attack your comrades is probably Zhou General and your subordinates." ”
Zhou Yao said quietly: "I only know that I didn't violate military law, and I also know that I am acting on orders." ”
Ma Wu was speechless and handed over the saber.
……
Under the setting sun, Sun Jingting took a large number of people out of the fort, and the infantry was lined up outside the fort, but they were still within the cover of the artillery.
When the array of cavalry appeared on the steppe in the distance, many people cheered.
Sun Jingting had a grim face, and when the queue got closer, the cheers gradually subsided.
When people saw Zhou Yao leading the cavalry to escort Ma Wu and the captured Beiyu back, many people were shocked.
