Chapter 444: The Second Heaven-Shattering Thunder

A shield cart was pushed into the trench, a shield cart is five or six meters long, two or three meters wide, loaded with soil bags, once pushed into the ditch, enough to fill the trench, hundreds of shield carts are pushed down in an endless stream, and in a moment the ditch is filled in more than ten places so that the horses can barely pass.

However, without the shield cart, Bai Guangen and Liu Fangming's people were completely exposed in the wilderness, and this trench could be passed, and there was still a trench to fill in if they wanted to reach the low wall guarded by the Ming army.

Between the two trenches, there is a distance of four or five zhang, Bai Guangen is full of pride at the moment, without the threat of firearms, he is not afraid of anything, tightly grasping the wheel of the shield car in his hand, rumbling along the passage filled by another shield car, Bai Guangen roared and rushed vigorously, the shield car seemed to be dragged by a healthy horse, and went straight to the second trench.

Behind the low wall, the Ming army began to shoot arrows, and began to shoot sporadically, specifically aiming at the Qing soldiers who had lost the cover of the shield car because of the ditch filling, as the Qing soldiers who lost the shield car body gradually increased, a large number of mountain-destroying crossbows began to exert their might, and the arrows in the sky rushed to the face, denser than the raindrops falling from the sky, and the bowstring tripped when it issued a "collapse!" There was a loud bang.

The arrows pierced through the air, silently piercing into the body of the soldiers, these Han soldiers were all soldiers of the Ming army, except for a small number of generals Ding elite wearing full-body iron armor, the rest were wearing half-body waist armor and cotton armor, half-body armor is cloth inlaid with iron leaves, and the armor surface protects the upper body; The cotton armor is a full-body armor, which is densely sewn by several layers of thick cloth, and the critical parts will be lined with nail leaves.

Half-body armor and cotton armor are light and flexible, the weight is very small, and it does not affect the activity when worn, but the disadvantage is that the protection ability is low, and the effect of dealing with bird guns and lead is very good, in the face of bows and arrows shot from more than ten zhang away, the defense effect is better than nothing, the sharp arrows are heavy, and they can easily break through the armor and enter the flesh, even though the iron leaf protects the key parts of the body, but the body is also very fatal when an arrow is hit.

So the ground was full of screams of soldiers after being hit by arrows, and those who were shot directly were fine, and those who fell to the ground without a sound fell to the ground, but most of them were wounded soldiers who were shot in the hands and feet or did not hurt the vital point, and they could move like headless flies howling and hiding around, and those who could not move could only sleep on the ground and moan.

Bai Guangen gritted his teeth, pushed the shield cart in his hand, and kept shouting urging his soldiers to move forward together, the whole army was in chaos, there were people between the two trenches, thousands of people were huddled together, like a pile of octopuses with teeth and claws, he couldn't tell who was the officer and who was the soldier, he could only let the Chinese officer holding the flag follow closely behind him, as long as the flag did not fall, it meant that he Bai Guangen was still there.

The second trench in front of him is getting closer and closer, and the wooden fence of the low wall behind the ditch is becoming clearer and clearer, and the arrows shot through the wooden fence are more dense.

"Bang Bang Bang!" The sound of the arrows hitting the thick wooden planks on the front of the shield cart was like rain falling on the plantains, and there was a dull sound, and from time to time the soldiers crowded behind the shield cart were shot by sharp arrows and fell on their backs.

"Whew!" A family member who followed him to the right because the space behind the shield cart was too small, half of his body was exposed, a feather arrow aimed at him, and accurately hit the neck of this unlucky guy, which was the only place in his body that was not covered by iron armor, the arrow shaft was strung on his neck, and a stream of blood flew up to Lao Gao, this person covered the wound "hehe" sound, but he couldn't shout again, stared at his eyes and reached out to scratch, and took away a few peacock feathers on the top of Bai Guangen's iron helmet.

Bai Guangen kicked him away, and roared like a beast with red eyes, "Ahhhh With a wild scream, he used all his strength to push the shield cart, and the vibration of the ground was becoming more and more obvious, and thousands of horses' hooves stepped on the muddy ground, like Thor's hammer.

Looking back, I saw a black line behind me accompanied by the sound of thunderous hooves, and nearly 10,000 cavalry from the Mongolian Horqin and Zalut divisions had formed a goose-shaped formation and appeared not far away.

The front of the first column of nearly 1,000 cavalry, all of them are covered with iron armor, people wear iron horses and armor, this is the most elite heavy armor iron cavalry in the Mongolian army, fearless, even if the lead of the bird gun hits them, as long as they do not reach the close range, they cannot penetrate the thick armor.

The Mongol soldiers had already begun to charge, and Bai Guangen's teeth were about to be crushed, and he was scolding in his heart that Dolgon was such a fucking bastard! Don't just treat yourself as cannon fodder, the cavalry rushes straight ahead, of course the low wall wooden fence in front can't stop it, but Lao Tzu is also in front! The cavalry rushed up and couldn't recognize anyone, as long as they stood on their way, even the king of heaven would be smashed into powder!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Fence up, fence off! Bai Guangen shouted, desperately beckoning a nearby shield cart: "Turn around, you go backwards and we move forward, so that the cavalry will not rush from here!" ”

The Han soldiers were already panicking, and the shield cart hurriedly turned to this side, and when it turned, it would inevitably expose its side, and a rain of arrows flew from the low wall, and a group of people fell.

But after all, it was over, Bai Guangen and dozens of family members hid in the narrow space between the two shield carts, bowing his head and hunching his waist, looking pale for a while at the front and behind for a while, killing on both sides, hell on both sides.

"Damn! I knew that He Laosan came to me a few days ago anyway, so I promised him! Bai Guangen puffed out his eyes and thought angrily: "Tartar didn't treat Lao Tzu as a human being, so why bother to work for him?" Jiang Huang is such a big official, I still hesitate to fart?! ”

"General, what shall we do?" A family member is straight upside down.

"General, why don't we turn against each other?" Another said in despair: "The Tartars are treating us as human sacks to fill the ditch!" The left and right are dead, it is better to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty and maybe there is a way to live! ”

"Fart!" Bai Guangen yelled angrily: "Who the hell believes you at this time?" Even if people believe it, they must ask you to go back and cut the tartars immediately, do you dare to go? Squat for me, wait and see how it goes! ”

A group of frustrated Han soldiers were silent, hiding behind two shield carts in fear, like a group of rats trying to survive in the flames of war.

Compared to them, Sanger is different.

As the Taiji of the Horqin Department, Sanger has relied on the support of the Qing court in recent years, lived a very comfortable life, annexed several small tribes, and the territory on the grassland is getting bigger and bigger, and followed the Qing court to the south of the Han land to fight, and captured tens of thousands of slaves, the tribe is like the rising sun on the grassland, brighter and brighter, more and more prosperous.

This time, on the order of the regent, came to Shanxi to exterminate the rebellious party, Sangar also came with a happy mood, every time he went out, although he would lose some of the warriors of the tribe, but the regent has always been very generous, and the rewards and slaves given have never been badly treated by Horqin, and often a big battle has come down, and the gains far exceed the losses. So Sanger understands that only by following the regent can he have a good life.

At this moment, riding on a war horse, the sky and black clouds rolled upside down, the wind was blowing in the face, and the bloody battlefield was a wonderful place for a good man to make meritorious contributions, Sanger pulled down the face of the iron helmet on his head, clenched the longbow in his hand, stepped on the stirrup, and stood up on the horse.

The long bow in his hand is like a full moon, obliquely pointing at the long sky, the jade wrench finger easily opens the bowstring, and the arm-long strong arrow makes a crisp sound of "sigh" and goes away.

The Mongolian cavalry surrounding him, all in one posture, stood on the galloping horse with superb horsemanship, and shot a wave of arrows in the direction of the Ming army with projectile archery.

With the longbow in his pocket and the long-handled broadsword hanging from the saddle, Sanger shouted with a smirk: "Sons, kill me with me!" ”

A strange cry erupted in the Mongol formation, and the shouting and shouting were chaotic, and the corpses of the Han soldiers swept under the horses' hooves, and in an instant they reached the edge of the first trench.

The rain of arrows just now was thrown, suppressing the crossbow of the Ming army, and the arrows fired were obviously much less, and this reaction made Sanger and his people very satisfied.

That's it, the Han army should be like this, the Han people rely on firearms to fight, and the explosion of the firearm that the Han army encountered just now also scared Sanger, but at present, it seems that the Ming army has not withdrawn.

The low wall was completely out of the obstacle range of the Mongol warriors, and the iron-clad horses could break through the crooked wooden fence with a rush, and the weak Ming army would certainly not have the upper hand in the cold weapon battle, simply put, for the task of the regent to slaughter the Ming army under the city, Sanger had no pressure at all.

The trench was in front, and Sanger took the lead, and as soon as he lifted the reins, the horses leaped to their feet on all fours.

In the middle of the day, there was a tap on the plank of a shield cart in the trench, and the horses rose again, just as a ray of sunlight shone down from the clouds and reflected on Sangar.

Looking back at the past from Bai Guangen's point of view, a picture of a divine soldier descending from the sky appeared on the battlefield, the golden sunlight gave people and horses a layer of golden armor, and the raindrop-covered armor leaves were bright and shining, like a morning star, at that moment time seemed to stand still, the burly man, the vigorous horse, combined together, coupled with the snow bright knife, the knight who charged in the drizzle flew in the air like a fly, and the people who saw it were all stunned.

If it weren't for the explosions coming from the trenches, everything would have been perfect.

And the source of everything was caused by Li Tingyu smiling obscenely behind the low wall and pulling a hemp rope.
