A large number of arrows fell as if rain, and the cavalry was well protected, and light arrows could not penetrate the cuirass at all, and the arrows fell on the cuirass and kept glinting fire, making a tooth-sour metal grinding and crashing sound. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Wang Jingzhong and the others heard the Manchu shouts in the Jurchen formation, and he listened attentively, but he didn't hear clearly for a while, and then an officer shouted: "Dongyu is asking people to change heavy arrows, be careful." ”

At this time, just over a hundred paces away, the cavalry was ready to shoot, they began to fine-tune the horse's head from the front, ready to run from the front of the Jurchen array on two wings from the side, originally if the opponent's array was loose, it could break through from the front, but the Dongyu array did not move at all, Duo'er had already commanded through the banner, galloped from the two wings respectively, and hit the enemy formation with the gun, and then reloaded and reorganized after rushing through, and then attacked from behind the formation, and attacked many times in a row, and then rushed in after the enemy formation was chaotic, and cut it with a saber, which is a very mature tactic for the cavalry.

Duo'er followed the right flank in the Chinese army, he pointed ahead, and shouted: "We are also the army of the people in a hundred battles, and the people of Liao have killed countless people in the east, known as strong soldiers, and today we will fight the majesty of our merchant soldiers." ”

At this moment, the first heavy arrow suddenly came at him.

The battle was fierce, and the harvest of light arrows was very limited, Yue Tuo only saw a small number of Ming cavalry fall because of the war horse reaching the critical place, and finally brought the knight to the ground, and there was a huge sound from the people who landed and the tumbling war horses, and Yue Tuo even felt that he heard a huge clicking sound when the bones of people and horses were broken.

Arrows rained down, and with Yue Tuo's experience with the Ming army or the Mongols, under such a rain of arrows, the opponent's array would be chaotic, the determination to attack would become hesitant, and even if the Ming army had already turned around and fled...... Yue Tuo also clearly remembers the battle of Shaling, when the Ming army had more than 60,000 soldiers, most of them were soldiers in armor, and quite a lot of strong soldiers, the combat power of the Eight Banners was more than 60,000 people, or the Jurchen, the number of the Mongolian and Han armies combined, when the two sides began to fight, the Ming army's attack hesitated, weak, and began to be chaotic after encountering arrow attacks, when he found that the Eight Banners cavalry moved on both wings, Zu Dashou began to lead his subordinate cavalry to start fleeing, and then it was an avalanche of chaos, The Ming army, which was about the same number as the Eight Banners, ran around the battlefield like a fly without a head, until most of them were finally killed.

The Ming cavalry in front of them were still braving the rain of arrows, only pulling away from the front and cutting to the front with their flanks.

Yue Tuo pulled the string of the arrow with his hand and placed a heavy arrow with a thick shaft on the string.

The tip of the arrow is not sharp, but an inverted triangle, wide in front and narrow in the back, like a sharpened shovel, more than a few inches wide, heavier and wider than the usual hunting arrows.

This kind of arrow can tear through the iron armor, of course, it also depends on the distance, if the armor is broken, it can easily break the skin, cut off the blood vessels and bones, if it is shot in the chest and abdomen, it can easily hurt the vital point of the person, and stir the internal organs into a puddle of blurred flesh and blood.

"Buzz ......"

After Yue Tuo shot the arrow with all his might, the string and body of the arrow trembled, and the heavy arrow made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the movement was much louder than the light arrow shot at the beginning.

The distance of less than a hundred paces was enough, and the strength of the heavy arrows fired horizontally was also sufficient, and the speed of the arrows flying in mid-air was very fast, Yue Tuo had no way to stare at the arrows he shot, but he saw countless heavy arrows flying in mid-air.

The Han army almost had no way to shoot this kind of heavy arrow, all of them were Jurchen archers shooting flat, and the Han army still shot light arrows from the back.

"Smack!"

"Smack, smack, smack......"

Almost instantly, all the cuirassiers who had been hit by the arrow felt their bodies tremble, and then a feeling of pain came.

Li Shaochuan felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer in his chest, he let out an "ah", and then spurted out a mouthful of blood...... When he was hit, he subconsciously bit his mouth and bit the tip of his tongue.

When he looked down, there seemed to be a huge arrow "glued" to his breastplate, the shaft of which was extremely thick, and it seemed to be still trembling. The tip of the arrow did not penetrate the armor, but smashed a small depression in the front of the breastplate, and the great pain he just felt was brought about by this heavy arrow. Due to the effect of the cuirass, the tip of the arrow did not penetrate the armor, but was crooked to one side, and only the point where the arrow and the shaft were connected stuck to the depression of the cuirass, so that the heavy arrow did not fall.

There was a loud crackling sound all around, and the cuirassiers began to fall off their horses, and then they were trampled into pulp by countless galloping horses.

There were also people who were shot in the legs by heavy arrows, Li Shaochuan saw that half of a cavalryman's foot and neck were cut open, and blood gushed out, the cavalry first shook on the horse, and then lay on the horse's neck, trying to suppress the great pain and prevent himself from falling off the horse.

"Within eighty steps, let's go, let's go!"

Liu Jingrong, the deputy commander of the brigade holding the flag gun, roared angrily, this is a veteran from Yulin Town, who is not accepted at night, in his thirties, his red face has been distorted by anger, in front of him, a large number of cuirassiers were injured or killed by arrows, and there were also quite a few cavalrymen who fell off their horses like dumplings by the rain of heavy arrows.

The cuirassiers who have been accustomed to the Mongols' weak riding bow are very unsuitable for such heavy arrow attacks, originally in their eyes the arrows have become a joke, similar to the existence of children's toys, the previous battles with the northern captives were killed by arrows is simply rare, more casualties come from a small number of white-knuckle fighting or falling off the horse, and the heavy arrows in front of them are violent and powerful, round after round, whether it is strength, rate of fire, accuracy, are far above the Mongols, under such a violent arrow rain strike, the cavalry has obviously panicked, the formation began to get confused.

After giving the order, Liu Jingrong put the flag gun back in the pocket, picked up the firearm in the pocket on the other side, and immediately twisted his body and raised it horizontally.

More people do the same.

The cavalry is a column of twelve rows and four rows, which happens to be a squadron, each squadron is connected in one place, forming a company-level column horizontal formation, after receiving the military order, Li Shaochuan's squadron also issued a military order.

"Everyone, get ready!"

The cavalrymen were already stagger in their positions, including Li Shaochuan, and everyone was aiming in the direction of the Jurchen array.

"Put!"

The military flag in the cavalry is unfurled, the gun flame blooms, a round of volleys of guns, this kind of shooting in the galloping state is only one shot, and the shooting is not easy, but after a long period of training has formed the standard tactics of the cavalry, in fact, this tactic is quite useful, the cavalry has a fast moving speed, swift as lightning and sharp firearms attacks, often fighting the Mongolian tribes can not raise their heads, they quickly pull, attack, lightning like flying, The Mongols' bows and arrows could not hurt the cavalry equipped with cuirassiers, but the firearms of the cavalry were very sharp, and they could easily penetrate the iron armor and cotton armor within the effective range.

This kind of cavalry armed with muskets and assault battles and tactics should have appeared in Europe nearly two hundred years later, among the elite cavalry under Napoleon, in addition to cuirassiers, musketeers are also one of the most important cavalry arms.

After the two wings were released together, more than 50 of the front row of the rear gold armor soldiers fell to the ground, this kind of close range of play, should have greater power, sharper performance, but under the pressure of the rear gold heavy arrows, the cavalry generally stayed 60 steps away, their cavalry power is smaller than the infantry gun, the power of the 60 steps of the infantry is much greater than that of the cavalry, and the distance of the cavalry at sixty or seventy steps, the power is weakened a lot, after the two wings salvo, only more than 50 people were overturned.

Li Shaochuan punched angrily, but at this time, it was impossible to reload, the weakness of the cavalry was here, and after a round of replay, unless he left the battlefield for a short time, he could not reload.

"Keep moving forward after the play, don't stop!"

Li Shaochuan heard that it was Liu Jingrong's voice, and he glanced at his right side.

A large number of cavalry have placed the fire gun obliquely in the pocket on the side of the horse's belly, the left hand controls the reins, and the right hand draws out the saber, but the effect of just putting it is very bad, and the commanders at all levels see and see the flag command, the two wings do not stop, continue to run forward, when the formation changes, the guns continue to play, and at this time the Houjin archers also continue to shoot with heavy arrows.

The soldiers on both sides had no distractions at this time, the battlefield was actually very noisy, the sound of horses' hooves, the shouts of people, the screams and groans of war horses and wounded and dying soldiers, when they were heavily wounded, whether it was the elite cavalry or the tenacious Jurchen soldiers, no one side was stronger.

Li Shaochuan felt a little scared for the first time, and he looked at his left and right sides as the instructor had taught him when he was studying at the Li Zhuang Official Academy.

The instructor at that time was Wang Changfu, Wang Changfu told them that when they were scared on the battlefield, they should look left and right, in fact, there were more people on their side, and when they saw that they were all familiar comrades-in-arms, courage would return to their bodies.

There were indeed a lot of people on both sides, when Li Shaochuan was looking left and right, he saw that there were still a lot of cavalry behind him playing firearms, and sparks kept bursting out on the battle line, and the bullets from the firecrackers fell in front of the Jurchen formation, flying one piece after another of the turf, and the firelight could be seen on the entire front, and the turf was flying all over the sky, and occasionally some Jurchen armored soldiers were hit by bullets, flesh and blood splashed, and rolled to the ground after screaming.

During the firearm attack, Li Shaochuan clearly saw that many Jurchen armor soldiers were knocked to the ground, which gave him a lot of comfort.

Arrows were still flying in the sky, and when the horses left, people desperately moved their horses' bellies with their legs, hoping that the horses would run faster and get out of the battlefield.

"Dog's day, the arrow is so ......fierce" Liu Jingrong rode his horse on the right side of Li Shaochuan's body, talking to him, at this time a heavy arrow suddenly shot over, just hit Liu Jingrong's neck, Li Shaochuan watched the tip of the small shovel-like arrow pierce into the neck of his comrade-in-arms, the sharp and flat tip of the arrow instantly cut off half of Liu Jingrong's neck, I don't know if it was an illusion, Li Shaochuan seemed to see Liu Jingrong wink at himself and smiled.

Liu Jingrong subconsciously covered his neck, the blood was not overflowing, it was almost splashed, he only came and said three words to Li Shaochuan, that is, he hung his neck, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Li Shaochuan's tears burst out of his eyes.
