Chapter 129: The Iron Arrow That Ignores the Helmet
Wu Yiyi grasped the inherent self-confidence of the Mongols, and when they dismounted and were about to gather the horses together, he immediately ordered the whole army to disperse, and took out all the strong crossbows, heavy crossbows, crossbows, and bows hidden behind everyone!
Seeing more than 100 good people on the enemy's lower and middle roads taking out the big guys used to siege the city from their backs, the Mongolian cavalry, who had never seen the Han and Nan people playing like this, was a little panicked for a while!
But they quickly calmed down, and began to look at each other and laugh, and then changed from sneering to maniac, or the Nan and Han people are weak and inferior thinking, they feel that with the distance between the two sides now, the enemy's crossbow will definitely not be able to shoot this side!
And even if it happens or the enemy really has the ability to shoot over, its power is minimal, and the characteristic of their Mongolian cavalry is that it is fast, that is, it has strong initiative, so they have enough time to adjust the formation and lineup accordingly, and in general there is no need to be afraid!
For the Mongolian cavalry is not innate, but is accustomed to the arrogance and underestimation of the enemy by the weak Han people, Captain Zheng Defeng and Wu Yiyi are all happy!
Especially when they see that the enemy has nothing to do but laugh, and does not even do the most basic action of dismounting and surrounding him? This seems to be waiting for them to fire first?
This is undoubtedly a provocation by Chi Guoguo for Wu Yiyi and all his soldiers, but as long as they wait for the crossbow and bow to launch arrows made of iron and steel, this group of arrogant Mongolian cavalry will pay the price for their slackness and arrogance!
When choosing the battlefield, Wu Yiyi and Zheng Defeng both had considerations, and they specifically chose the relatively narrow section of the road that the Mongolian cavalry must pass, the battlefield was larger or wider, and it was more difficult to fight a war of annihilation for the ghost soldiers and Lu Zhen's soldiers who were weak in numbers.

And now in the place where the Mongol cavalry is confronted, from the geographical, terrain and geomorphology, the big guys such as strong crossbows, crossbows, bows and extremely lethal weapons have been moved, and it is really the head of the bull and the mouth of the horse, but it also depends on who made these weapons!
If it is an ordinary strong crossbow and crossbow, not to mention how important the bow is in a small battlefield with narrow roads, and even if it is in a pillbox, it is a positional battle, and its use against the Mongol cavalry is not very useful.
However, after Liu Zhenming refitted, he spent a lot of capital and time to refine and remove the materials, and the part of the bow was intact;
The crossbow body, the mouth of the pipe and other places have been greatly streamlined, that is, wrought iron has been replaced with wrought iron, and twelve large siege crossbows, fifty light crossbows, and thirty heavy crossbows have been made.
Since the Mongolian cavalry has given up a very rare move, then Wu Yi can't take it all!
Originally, Wu Yi's plan was to shoot first, and let fifty light crossbows and ten heavy crossbows attack the enemy camp first, so that the formation of the Mongol cavalry was forced to change;
Then put on twelve large siege crossbows and the remaining twenty heavy crossbows to attack the Mongol cavalry that was changing formations on a larger scale and with greater lethality than the first round of light crossbows!
In the end, fifty light crossbows were used as cover to allow the soldiers on the road to make a breakthrough, and the first round of attack was largely over.
But now the situation has changed, and the Mongolian cavalry will see the excitement after dismounting, and this time Wu Yiyi will be happy, fifty light crossbows, thirty heavy crossbows (or strong crossbows), and twelve siege crossbows (similar to siege vehicles) are all sent together.
Fifty light crossbows, each of which can fire five to seven arrows, and fifty is more than three hundred arrows.
The quicker ones were able to dodge the rain of arrows and let the horses help them as arrows, but the less fortunate ones were able to react at that time when they were one step slower, and they suffered, and the iron arrows mercilessly ignored the helmets and armor from the heights, and shot directly through their chests, heads, and eyebrows!
As soon as the rain of arrows from the heavy crossbows and siege crossbows arrived, the Mongol cavalry hiding under the horses also suffered, and the entire detachment of the first column of the vanguard army of several hundred people was basically wiped out!
The ten soldiers of the ghost army who were waiting for the road rushed down with Lu Zhen's ninety cavalry, and there were few alive in the detachment of the first column of the Mongolian Vanguard Army!
Most of the hundred or so cavalry on the road are masters of art and courage, that is, including the members of the ghost team, they are a group of most of them who do not want to die;
So seeing that the more than 300 people of the first Mongolian detachment were almost playing like this, they easily eliminated all of them, and hurriedly attacked the second detachment!
The soldiers with light crossbows in the middle and rear roads rode red horses and rushed to the front to support, and the heavy crossbows also joined the war when the enemy and us were engaged in a head-to-head battle in the grass.
The siege crossbow is useless after the melee between the two sides, and its power is enough to pierce the abdomen, chest, and head of everyone in the melee!
In fact, Liu Zhenming didn't know what a heavy crossbow or a strong crossbow and a light crossbow were, and he didn't know the difference between a strong crossbow and a light crossbow......
This really can't be blamed on Liu Zhenming, although he is a science student in the later generations and has the responsibility of security, but in the later society where there are strict regulations on military equipment and security equipment, it is not difficult to get in touch with crossbows and bows;
But to contact a crossbow that can really hurt and kill people, and still restore the original beast and sex of the weapon, and can kill two or more people in one shot, it is not enough to come into contact, but also to be able to make it, which is really difficult for Liu Zhenming!
Since entering the era of hot weapons, in addition to the study of cold weapons by literati and ancient military enthusiasts, other people pay more attention to hot weapons, especially aviation missiles, global satellites, nuclear weapons, and so on.
The literati and ancient military enthusiasts who paid attention to cold weapons only accounted for more than 10 percent of the people of later generations, and if you can add the condition of making a simple bow and arrow by hand, this proportion will be halved or sharply reduced to less than 1 percent......
Fortunately, the place where Su Zedong and Liu Zhenming lived was called Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, not Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province in later generations;
Therefore, as far as the current situation of these places is concerned, they are only geographically identical to later generations, and they have little to do with the humanities, the direction of economic development, sports, and so on!
This shows that the ancient people who have been living with them, and the people who get along with them day and night, drink and talk happily are the young adults of the late Yuan Dynasty who have the most primitive survival skills!
Liu Zhenming has never seen the power that a real crossbow can exert, and the young adults at the end of the Yuan Dynasty knew that Zhang Dexing knew the difference between a heavy crossbow and a light crossbow, and he also knew how to make a siege crossbow.
In the process of researching and making heavy crossbows, light crossbows, and siege crossbows, Zhang Dexing's scientific research department of Dongzhen Company has the greatest credit.
Under Liu Zhenming's tutelage, he not only drew the design drawings of heavy crossbows, light crossbows and siege crossbows on paper, but also calculated accurate data through experiments and practice, with the help of Su Liangsan, so as to improve the maximum efficiency and wear resistance of the crossbow.
Wu Yiyi was able to send more than 300 Mongolian cavalry to hell to meet the king of Hades with light crossbows, heavy crossbows and siege crossbows without bloodshed, and Zhang Dexing and Liu Zhenming's contributions are not insignificant!
After relieving themselves, the Mongol cavalry fought to the death against the Han cavalry who rushed up, and proved with great strength that the impact of the front army led by Wu Yiyi was wrong and reckless.
The combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry was still quite strong, and the upper road troops of the front army were mainly composed of Lu Zhen's elite ninety cavalry, and the upper road troops of only ten members of the ghost soldiers were definitely not the opponent of the more than 400 Mongolian cavalry of the second detachment.
Wu Yiyi looked a little anxious from behind, thinking about whether to wait for the Chinese army to come up to support according to the original plan.
But when Wu Yi looked at the distance between the Chinese army and the upper road army of the front army, this idea was immediately suspended!
Since the upper route army bypassed the first detachment of the Mongolian cavalry and directly confronted the second detachment of the Mongolian cavalry, it already had an advantage in numbers, and there were no crossbows and bows and arrows as cover, so it was indeed easy to suffer a big loss.
If you wait for the weight of the Chinese army and the rear road to rush forward, it must be too late, Wu Yiyi felt that such a plan before the war should be to consider that the Mongolian cavalry is too strong and will rush over, so let the front army avoid greater casualties, then retreat and let the Chinese army go up.
But the current situation seems that after the first detachment of the Mongol cavalry suffered a crushing defeat due to the light enemy, the second detachment was strongly suppressed by the upper troops of the front army;
Although the 100 people on the road of the front army are definitely not the opponent of the 400 Mongols, it is a matter of time before they are exterminated, but because of the preciousness of this time, it is decided that they can no longer wait for the support of the Chinese army according to the original plan!
Wu Yiyi immediately ordered thirty-three of the thirty-six soldiers who used the siege crossbow to put down the siege crossbow, ride on horseback, and kill together.
The three people left behind by Wu Yi continued to push and use a siege crossbow, and after the soldiers of the front army withdrew, they used their powerful power to cover the retreat of the soldiers of the front army as much as possible!
As soon as the order was given, the whole army immediately took action, and most of the people who held heavy crossbows were replaced with real knives and real guns, and some people used three-plate axes, which were shining under the tender sunlight of the southern winter in the afternoon, but they were also particularly eye-catching!
Wu Yi took the lead in holding the usual halberd and rushed into the encirclement of the Mongolian cavalry, as long as the halberd, spear and other long weapons are used well, that person is definitely the most troublesome enemy of the Mongolian cavalry!
