Chapter 82: The Red Guards of the Yellow River

Yu Dayou felt that his lungs were about to burst. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves is like the tide of Qiantang that you have experienced, and it can bring a monstrous sound of shaking the earth and shaking the mountains from a distance of several miles.

"How far is it?" Yu Dayou gasped, not knowing who he was asking.

In the end, he was still inexperienced, Yu Dayou wanted to be a bait, but he obviously ignored a very important thing, Zhu Houzhao did not leave them horses. Crossing the Henan River was their only way out, but Yu Dayou wanted to carry out Zhu Houzhao's order to the end.

"Brothers, take out the remaining iron cucumbers, get dark mines along the road, and there are at least 10,000 Tatar cavalry behind, and you can kill a few of them no matter what!"

"Lord Yu, if you do this, you will at least be dragged into our itinerary, and we won't be able to run away if we are caught up by the Tatars!"

Yu Dayou glanced at the front very unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said: "The old brothers who worked with me stay, and cover the retreat of the brothers of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang army!" ”

"My lord, we finally escaped with our lives. Aren't you going to send us to death by doing this? "The troops he brought with him are gone.

The 800 people of the new army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also didn't do it: "Yu Dayou, we put up with it this time when the general let you be the leader, but our brothers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not cowards, and we will not let go of the things after the break!" ”

Yu Dayou seemed to suddenly understand the difference between the ordinary army and the strangeness of the arrival of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his heart was warm, it seemed that such an army could be called an army.

Ask for death advice, fight to the death, when you die, you will not retreat!

A sense of pride suddenly emerged in Yu Dayou's heart: "The brothers who dare to fight will stay with me, although Yu Dayou doesn't dare to say that all the brothers can go back alive, but at least they can guarantee a glimmer of life!"

Thunderbolt must be brought back to the adults, and even one more fierce battle in the next battle may affect the battle situation. ”

After the agreement was reached, the two groups of people quickly dispersed. One wave of thunderbolts headed straight west, while the other group headed east.

Zhu Houzhao stood in the Chinese army, and the sun at this time was already obviously westward, which was quite different from the time he had previously envisioned, but it also made them more calm when arranging the battlefield.

"General, someone is coming! It's our people! ”

A wave of five or six hundred people staggered towards Zhu Houzhao's position: "My lord, the Tatar army will arrive here in half an hour at most, and they have fifteen thousand people!" ”

"Where's Yu Dayou?"

"This is the last piece of information Yu Dayou gave us!" The man's face was full of shame: "Yu Dayou took the brothers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to make a last fight, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I'm already dead by now! ”

Within a few miles of their walk, the rumbling explosions came from the east, apparently to the point of close combat.

Zhu Houzhao sighed secretly, a star destined to rise was folded in his hand like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"All-arms war!" Zhu Houzhao cheered up: "This battle will be the first battle in our true sense, win, and then we will be invincible, if we lose, we will not even have a way out!" ”

All the people were silent, there were no cheers, and there was no sadness, but the silence made Zhu Houzhao very satisfied.

In this silence, an hour later, at the end of the night, the first ride began, followed by several rides, but in a few moments the withered yellow at the end of the field of vision was completely replaced by a gray blue.

There were many, and the mountains were full of Tatars, like a pack of steppe wolves that had seen their prey.

Tuertu looked at the 10,000 Ming troops scattered on the banks of the Yellow River, and the sparse formation was of no use in his eyes except to occupy a wider land. Only by forming a thick formation could the infantry hold back the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry, which was the most useful thing that centuries of war had taught him.

So he couldn't believe that such a team could defeat his men.

"It's time to prove your strength, the eagles of the steppe will not be defeated by these jumping rabbits, use your scimitars to cut off their heads to your heart's content!" Turku simply had no idea of taking a break before attacking. Quick battle, Datong direction of the Ming reinforcements is the fattest lamb, here, Tuertu really can't look down on it.

With Tuertu's order, the 5,000 cavalry who had already made a military order quickly formed a charging formation, like an arrow, and rushed towards Zhu Houzhao's new army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although they had seen some of the terrible firearms of the Ming army before, fundamentally speaking, this group of people did not really understand the real way of fighting the army trained by Zhu Houzhao. Even the broken thousand-man army that had close contact with the Jiangsu-Zhejiang New Army before was just a shot that had eaten birds.

The 300 people who have really seen it have become fertilizer.

Horse bow riding is about sixty paces is the limit, but most of this measurement method is flat shooting, as for the case of projectile, it will be thirty steps more, if you add the speed of the war horse rush, at least this distance will be added twenty paces or even more.

Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao deliberately wanted to prepare a natural trap for this group of steppe tartars, most of the steppe wolves who charged forward in the first round actually entered Zhu Houzhao's new army position.

However, fortunately, when Zhu Houzhao arranged the troops, the sparse military formation deliberately made for the balance of firepower and the hastily erected bunkers and stumbling stones successfully minimized the damage that could be caused by the Tatars' round of immediate projectiles.

Needless to say, the new army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which had been beaten, immediately rose up to fight back, and the firepower points arranged by Zhu Houzhao were staggered, and according to the typical tactics of the three-stage attack, the firepower could basically be sustained without any dead ends.

So after the first round of the two sides exchanged shots, the two sides basically exchanged damage, but the situation on the Tatar side was even more thrilling, hundreds of horsemen rolled on their backs and fell to the ground, and then were trampled into the dirt by the following galloping horses that could not stop the car.

With the rapid advance of the Tatar cavalry, the new army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang immediately changed its tactics, and the previously staggered shotgun shooting, after three rounds of shooting, the twenty guns and six rounds of the mind were quickly pushed out, and the Tatars opened fire immediately after they entered the firing range.

The Thunderbolt is very different from the Shotgun, a powerful firearm that is almost as powerful as the later shotguns, and has much more vitality coverage than the Shotgun.

A steel ball the size of a red bean burst in mid-air, and one shot was enough to cover a certain area. The Tatar riders within this range instantly felt a hail fall on their heads, and the shower of plantains did not necessarily break the thick banana leaves, but the steel balls were enough to tear apart the fur of the Tatar riders.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

After a continuous roar, the Tatar horsemen on the horse and the horses knelt down, and not many died on the spot, but the pain caused by being set into a hornet's nest and inlaid with steel balls the size of red beans was definitely much more painful than being slashed.

Tuertu looked at his own son-in-law, who was half-kneeling in the blink of an eye, his face became solemn, and he shouted: "Sons, there is no need to worry about firearms, as long as they can rush in, there is no difference between the shotgun and the burning stick in their hands!" ”
