Chapter 17: Kill, Kill, Kill!
After 1,500 years, Jin Zhen Jurchen rushed into battle with 30,000 well-equipped Ming border troops.
Who wins? Which is better or worse?
Under the terrain of Evil Axe Mountain, there is an indescribable emotion shrouded in Cao Wenzhao's heart.
Fifteen hundred horsemen rode after the golden iron and rushed into battle.
The entire Ming border army began to organize a counter-army.
The rain of arrows flew into the sky and broke through the sky.
At first glance, the Qing soldiers appeared to be scattered, but they effectively avoided the area where the arrow rain was concentrated.
Keep detouring along both sides.
The hillside was slippery, and fifty horses overturned their knights in an emergency dodge, fell to the ground, and were then covered by a rain of arrows.
But the Houjin cavalry still rushed to the front of the formation.
At the time, there were more than a dozen war horses, obviously tall and strong, and the horses and knights were all wrapped in heavy iron armor.
These ironclad knights were specially built by Houjin to impact the Ming army's chariot formation.
The other knights needed to dodge the rain of arrows, but the fifty heavily armored cavalry came on a rampage.
In just two hundred steps, he plunged headlong into the chariot formation of the Ming army, and the first five horsemen, regardless of the loss of the war horses, directly crashed into the chariot formation placed by the baggage team.
Fortunately, the rain was wet and slippery, and the ramp was limited, so the speed of these five heavy armor was not fast.
Although he rushed away from the first car formation, the force was unloaded, and the second lane in front of him was unable to go again.
But after the five heavy armor of the cavalry collided with the car formation, they directly turned their horses' heads and killed the pikemen behind the car formation.
The heavy armored cavalry faced the spear, and without even wielding a knife, they directly ran into more than a dozen people in front.
After the five cavalry heavy armor rushed into the driving formation, they instantly broke a big hole, followed by five cavalry, and rushed straight to the second chariot formation again.
In an instant, the two chariot lines laid down by the Ming army were easily broken by the Houjin heavy cavalry.
Fifty horsemen entered the chariot formation and rushed directly at the pikemen.
In an instant, the spear array was disturbed, and the pikemen who collided with it retreated one after another, and those behind them hurriedly lowered the tip of their guns for fear of accidental injury.
Fifty horsemen and heavy armor turned the chariot formation placed by the Ming army into nothing.
"Stinging horses, stinging horses!"
In the queue, the general flag was constantly shouted.
Finally, under the desperate charge of the five spears, a heavily armored war horse stabbed its hoof, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
The drawbacks of the heavily armored war horse are finally revealed.
That is the weight of the armor of the horse, the speed is not fast, the armor is thick and wrapped in the horse's hooves can not resist the spear.
After the heavy armor fell to the ground, the knight pressed under the horse.
In this way, the two spearmen pounced directly, and the spears stabbed down, and in an instant, the fierce knight's big face was pierced with two bloody holes.
The fall of the heavy armor knight also caused a series of accidents, and the heavy armor that fell in front directly blocked the front of the heavy cavalry behind.
Instantly isolate pikemen and heavy cavalry.
The pikemen, who had been randomly rammed by the heavy cavalry, finally had a chance to breathe.
Relying on the tactic of stabbing the horse's hooves, finally, after killing and wounding a hundred people, the pikemen attacked five horsemen.
The pikemen and the heavy cavalry were locked in a standoff.
But soon, with a steady stream of light horses from behind, they came out of the entrance of the car formation.
The situation was again unfavorable to the Ming army.
The light cavalry continued to shoot the pikemen who had no shield to defend them, and one by one the pikemen fell to the ground.
The tide of battle again went in the unfavorable direction of the Ming army.
Sitting?
The pikemen had no choice but to fly up again, and when they fell to the ground, they could not escape the shooting of the Houjin cavalry, and only by rushing up to close the distance with the opponent could the melee long spur break the defeat.
And as a steady stream of cavalry rushed into the chariot formation, the opening of the second chariot formation was rushed away by the heavy cavalry.
The upper sword and shield men were also forced to join the melee fight.
Cao Wenzhao looked at the Houjin cavalry and the Ming army fighting in a group below, and finally gave the order, so that the firecrackers began to approach and concentrate on shooting at the opponent's cavalry.
The formation changed, and at this moment the archers no longer dared to shoot and suppress from a distance, because the Ming army and the cavalry had already fought together.
From Houjin rushing up the hillside to fighting in a group, in just three or four hundred steps, the Houjin cavalry fell to the ground with less than 100 horsemen.
But the Ming army, which was rushed into the formation, rammed and slashed at will, had already killed and wounded a thousand people.
This is the contest between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, and it has always been the cavalry that has always used human lives to pile up to block the Houjin.
It's always been a multiplier of the number of dead and wounded.
As the pikemen pounced on the Houjin cavalry, the one-sided situation was finally broken.
There were casualties on both sides.
Although the chariot formation was broken, the small space between the two chariot formations limited the cavalry's vertical and horizontal movements.
In the distance, Azig watched the battle in the rain, cursed God, and waved again, this time fifteen hundred cavalry killed him.
The cavalry came again, 1,500 cavalry had already caused heavy casualties among the pikemen, plus doubled, Cao Wenzhao was worried that the pikemen would not be able to stop, if the pikemen lost more than half of the personnel, then the Houjin cavalry would no longer have the ability to block in close combat.
Cao Wenzhao finally gave the order to start shelling.
Artillery roared, and smoke rose from the shed halfway up the mountain.
In the rain curtain of the cavalry galloping, one after another shells fell, the rain splashed, the mud rushed to the sky, and fifteen hundred horsemen took refuge, but when they galloped down the hillside, they still lost fifty or sixty horsemen.
Finally, with the explosion of a cannon, the entire wooden shed erected on top of the cannon was knocked to the ground.
The artillery lost its effectiveness.
The bow and arrows rose again, and the arrows rained down, but the heavy rain was still majestic, and the arrows only unloaded a small half of their strength in the raindrops, and the killing of the cavalry did not achieve the expected effect.
"Change my son, kill with my father." Cao Wenzhao took off the cloak on his body and drew his long knife.
Cao Bianjiao beside him raised his spear and followed closely behind him.
The mighty Ming army reserve soldiers and horses were finally killed.
The chariot formation blocked the road of the Houjin cavalry, and the two sides began to fight between the two chariot formations.
People kept falling under knives and guns, and people kept stepping on the slippery dirt and pounced on them.
The rain poured down the hillside, mixing with the blood and forming a river.
The battle was scorching.
————
Early in the morning, a hundred miles south of Qingyuan, Tang Xidong marched in the mud with a large army.
At the same time, Cao Wenzhao was still waiting for the arrival of the Houjin Brigade.
The army marched in silence, and after repairing yesterday afternoon, it set out in the evening and headed north again.
Tang Xidong looked at the heavy rain in front of him, and a trace of worry rose in his heart.
I don't know if Binh Duong's river defense can stop the continuous heavy rain.
I don't know if other places in Daming will be flooded.
This god looks like a state of annihilation, either drought or rain, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the summer harvest will encounter difficulties.
It is hoped that the summer grain can be harvested and the people of Binh Duong will be spared the suffering of hunger.
Suddenly, three horses galloped in front of him.
Breaking through the rain.
Tang Xidong raised his eyes to look, but it was two scouts leading an empty horse.
The three horses rushed to the front and came directly to the front.
"My lord, on the way, I found a Ming cavalryman, and the other party was wounded, so I brought it back to the camp, and at the same time found a secret letter."
The cavalry of the Ming army looked tired, and at this moment they were drenched all over their bodies and fell into a coma.
Tang Xidong frowned and tore it directly.
Then look north.
"Where's Evil Axe Mountain?"
The guide behind him came on horseback, and after thinking about it, he replied: "All the way north, there are still one hundred and thirty miles from here." ”
"Your Excellency?" Beside Tang Xidong, Liu Liangzi, the new company captain of the Luoliangshan Company, stepped forward with a puzzled face.
"This is Cao Wenzhao's secret agent who went south to ask for help, and at this moment Cao Wenzhao is leading 30,000 Ming troops to fight against the Houjin Tartars, and he urgently needs reinforcements." Tang Xidong handed the secret letter to Liu Liangzi.
The other party took it and passed by ten lines at a glance.
"My lord, do you want to?" Liu Liangzi hesitated.
"We're here to kill the captives, where are the Tartars? Where to kill? Tang Xidong frowned.
"However, Cao Wenzhao led his troops to attack our Pingyang City back then." Liu Liangzi showed a trace of resentment on his face.
Back then, there were many dead and injured old brothers.
Tang Xidong looked at the rain curtain in a daze.
For a long time, I looked up at the sky.
"Don't say family hatred before national hatred!"
"Order, the whole army accelerates. Rush to Evil Axe Mountain! ”
"Yes."
