Chapter 169: Mighty General Qi Jiguang!
Soon, the Tiger was reloaded, and another salvo was fired. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The speed of the Tatar cavalry was much faster than that of the Zhejiang Japanese infantry. It's too late for the third round of reloading!
Yu Dayou ordered: "All the firefighters, prepare the leech crossbow!" Franco's rebels, arquebus ready! β
Yingyu was wearing a Flying Tiger Army uniform at this time, and she was used by Chen Di as a mouthpiece to communicate with Madeira.
Yingyu shouted at Madeira: "Have your soldiers prepare arquebuses!" β
Madeira nodded at Yingyu, then drew his sword, turned and ordered, "Soldiers, arquebus ready!" β
Yu Dayou ordered: "Francois Righteous Army, let go!" β
Two thousand arquebuses roared with earth-shattering rage. The guns flew "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" towards the charging Tatar cavalry.
The Tatar cavalry suffered heavy casualties from Chen Di's three-plate axe. I have to say that these beards are all warriors. Without Altan Khan's order to retreat, they continued to charge forward despite heavy casualties!
The Tatar cavalry finally rushed to a distance of thirty or forty paces from the Ming army! The Ming army came within range of their bows and arrows!
The Tatar cavalry drew their bows and arrows and fired into the sky. The bow and arrow cut through the parabola like a locust, and flew towards the Ming army with huge potential energy.
The Tatar cavalry had two ways to kill the enemy. One is sabre slashing, and the other is archery! Chen Di was not unaware of this feature of the Tatar cavalry. Originally, he also wanted to carry some shields into battle. However, every Flying Tiger Arms Gun has to carry a Tiger Gun, thirty paper shell bombs, ten grenades, a leech crossbow, and sixteen crossbow arrows, and the weight on his body is already large enough! You can't bring any shields at all!
The guards and brocade guards had shields, but they had to protect their wings from the flank charges of the Tatar cavalry! There are simply no extra troops to be sent to protect the bows and arrows in the front!
Two or three thousand crossbow arrows flew into the formation of the Flying Tiger Army and the Furlong Mercenaries, and more than 100 Flying Tiger Arms Gunners and more than 200 Furlong Mercenaries died instantly!
Chen Di's distressed heart seemed to be dripping blood! There were more than 1,000 Flying Tiger troops in his hands, and one-tenth of them were killed in one fell swoop, how could he not feel distressed?
Fortunately, the Tatar cavalry has already entered the range of the leech crossbow!
Nearly 6,000 crossbow arrows were fired in an instant, and this rain of arrows pressed on the Tatar cavalry, who had no intention of raising their bows and arrows, and held sabers to block the flying arrows!
The Tatar cavalry advanced slowly in the rain of arrows, and the Flying Tigers finally came up with their own weapon of destruction - grenades!
Nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, each of whom has become a small Furlong machine cannon!
Almost a thousand grenades from the first round were thrown out!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "A thousand grenades exploded at once, and countless pieces of iron from the explosions flew like butterflies in the Tatar array! It's a pity that they are not as gentle as butterflies! Hundreds of Tatar cavalry were killed and wounded.
The Tatar cavalry had never seen such a miraculous weapon. They were less than thirty paces away from the Ming army, and they could rush in a matter of moments. The Tatar cavalry thought to themselves, cowardly Ming people, you are about to taste the saber!
At this moment, the second round of grenades was once again thrown out by the Flying Tiger Sergeant Gateγγγγγγγ
On the other side of the battlefield, 10,000 cavalry led by Zhena took up positions on the flank of the Ming army. Zhena gave an order, and the first wave of more than 2,000 cavalry rushed towards the flank of the Ming army!
Chen Di's firing queue was most afraid of the cavalry charging from the flanks. The safety of the Flying Tigers and the Fur Plane mercenaries is all tied to the guards on both sides!
Qi Jiguang commanded more than 1,000 guards on the north side to raise their shields first!
Zhena's more than 2,000 cavalry fired in a row, and the rain of arrows hit the shields of the guards head-on.
The Tatar cavalry men knew that there were shields, and no matter how many bows and arrows they fired, it would be in vain, so they simply put away their bows and arrows and rushed towards the Ming army!
In a short time, the Tatar cavalry and the Ming army came into close hands!
Qi Jiguang's ancestors were generals for generations, and the ancestors left two family heirlooms to Qi Jiguang! One is gilt silver chain mail! The second is a reed leaf Zhan golden gun! This gun is a long battle, the head of the gun is like a reed leaf, made of stainless steel quenched gold, and it can break heavy armor!
The Tatar cavalry is menacing, and Qi Jiguang shows the courage that a famous general should have! He calmly raised the golden spear of Lu Ye Zhan and shouted: "Guards pro-army! the spear! β
One or two hundred Tatar cavalry ran into the spears of the Ming army and died on the spot! But in a short time, the Tatar cavalry gate also scattered the defensive position of the Ming army!
There's nothing to say about now! In one word, dry! Death will not allow the Tatar cavalry to rush through this line of defense!
Qi Jiguang was fearless, and rushed into the Japanese cavalry with a golden spear in his hand. The five Tatar cavalrymen saw that Qi Jiguang's battle armor was gorgeous, presumably it must be a general of the Ming army, so they surrounded it together!
Qi Jiguang shook his right hand and pulled a spear flower, and the head of the reed leaf spear went straight to the front door of the nearest Tatar cavalryman! Then, with his dark force, he drew his spear back. At this moment, the saber of a Tatar cavalryman was already draped over his chest!
The gilt silver chain mail worn by Qi Jiguang was carefully crafted by several skilled craftsmen in the Yongle period for several months! Although the saber given to him by the Tatar cavalry was powerful, the moment he struck Qi Jiguang, half of his strength was unloaded by the chain mail! Although this knife slashed through the chain mail, the blade did not penetrate the flesh! It was too late for the Tatar cavalry to withdraw their swords and defend again! Qi Jiguang's reed leaf spear stabbed him in the lower abdomen, and he was knocked off the horse with one shot!
The other three Tatar cavalrymen raised their knives from three directions at the same time to slash at Qi Jiguang's front door, Qi Jiguang raised the reed leaf gun in his left hand, and the three sabers just hit the barrel of the gun, making three crisp sounds! Qi Jiguang pulled out his sword with his right hand, swept sideways over the three Tatar cavalry, and the three Tatar cavalry fell off their horses in response!
Qi Jiguang eliminated the three Mongolian cavalrymen and continued to look for the target like a killing god! In a few moments, two more Tatar cavalrymen were killed by him. The Tatar cavalry are all veterans of the steppe for many years, and they are keenly aware that this silver-armored warrior is a good hand! Crowd around!
Seeing this, three or four soldiers of the guards also rushed towards Qi Jiguang, their temporary commander-in-chief, desperately defending the commander-in-chief. A sturdy Mongolian cavalryman slashed at Qi Jiguang's back with a scimitar, but Qi Jiguang didn't notice it. A guard soldier actually stretched out his right arm directly to block the blade that was slashing at Qi Jiguang! An arm was cut off alive!
The Ming army, in addition to those straw bag guards, still has a group of warriors who are not afraid of death!
Qi Jiguang turned around and saw that a horse pistol had directly pierced the throat of the Tatar cavalryman!
In another corner of the battlefield, a Ming soldier in his twenties knocked a Tatar cavalryman off his horse with a spear. The Tatar cavalry slashed at him with his sword, and he blocked it with his sword. The blades collided together, and they were both shocked when they met the coincidence! Both sides lost their weapons. The Tatar cavalryman, who was strong and strong, pounced on him and jammed the soldier's neck, and when he saw that the soldier was about to be strangled to death, he suddenly used all his strength to hold the head of the Tatar cavalryman with both hands and pressed down hard. The head of the Tatar cavalry was lowered, and the soldier actually bit the neck of the Tatar cavalry with his teeth. Listening only to a few "whoops, whoops", he actually tore the arteries of the Tatar cavalry! The Tatar bled to death, and the soldier stood up and tried to pick up his waist knife on the ground to continue the battle, but was beheaded by another Tatar cavalryman!
A Ming soldier was plunged into the left chest with a spear by a Tatar cavalryman, and the Tatar cavalry used too much force to pull the spear back. Unexpectedly, this Ming army Baihu held a waist knife in his right hand, and rushed forward with all his strength, the handle of the gun was completely submerged in his left chest, and his waist knife was inserted into the chest of the Tatar cavalry!
The spearmen on the north side led by Qi Jiguang held the flank of the Ming army's gunners at the cost of the total annihilation!
