Chapter 269: The Nest Is Reversed
Zhao Er explained to Li Xiang: "Horses have better physical strength than people, and in terms of rapid sprints, although they have to have a process of starting and increasing like people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but ordinary horses can run three or four miles away at the fastest speed, people can't, the strength is exerted to the extreme, ordinary people can no longer maintain the speed of rushing after running thirty or forty zhang. You must pay attention to this, otherwise you will suffer a big loss in the battle against the Cavalry. ”
Li Xiangzheng was worried that he didn't know when the best time to attack, Zhao Er's words made him wide-shake, and he felt joy descending from the sky, and said with joy and gratitude: "Okay, I know how to do it." ”
Seeing that the enemy soldiers were getting closer and closer, and had reached more than 100 zhang in front of them, and they could see the movements of those cavalrymen clearly without "clairvoyance", the gunners of the artillery team secretly muttered in their hearts: "Why don't you give the order to open fire, if you get closer, you will hit your own people." ”
The flag-bearers of each cannon couldn't stop shouting, and the gunners adjusted the elevation angle of the tiger squat cannons, and they were busy sweating profusely.
Just when the Mongol cavalry was approaching less than half a mile, the gunners' long-awaited order sounded: "The first artillery team will fire one shot at the enemy cavalry, and after loading the sub-cannons, they will be on standby." ”
General Meng ****** scolded the injured leg that made him feel pain in his heart and lungs, endured the pain in his leg, glanced back at the cavalry who were forty or fifty feet behind, and shouted to his cavalry: "Children, rush into the town with me to make a fortune, go quickly!" ”
At this moment, the four hundred horsemen who were crowded on the road in a dense formation, beating their horses and trying to rush forward, made a loud "boom", and four or five horses neighed and fell down along with the knights in the dust. Before they could see what was going on, something roared and exploded in front of them, right and left, and more horses before they could get off the ground fell to the ground, along with the rider on their backs.
In an instant, splashes, mud, and clods of dirt on the side of the road splashed everywhere, and dozens of people and horses flew on the road. The fleeing horses trampled on the cavalry that fell to the ground, and some of them were trampled on their heads, chests and abdomen, and died. There were even two war horses, pulling the two knights who fell to the ground and were still on the stirrups, and galloped wildly towards the half-dry paddy fields east of the road, until both of them were covered with rotten flesh and bones, mud and no air, and the whole cavalry army was in chaos.
The ****** who started earlier was five or six feet away from the cavalry brigade, and this time he was lucky not to be injured, but he was so startled by the dozens of explosions that he couldn't sit in the saddle, and was almost thrown off the ground by the strangled war horse.
As he desperately tightened the reins to control the horses under his seat, he turned back in amazement and shouted, "What happened, why is there such a noise?" ”
No one answered him, and all the horsemen, whether they were still on their horses and had landed without any serious injuries, were busy checking whether they were wounded or bleeding.
Seeing the scene of the bloody wolf in the brigade and dozens of corpses of people and horses, he was so shocked that he felt chills on his body, and he had to ask again. The shrill whistling sound in the sky hit his ears again, and in the piercing "whine", he looked up and around, trying to find out where the sound came from.
Nothing was found except for the whistling, only the whistling sound was heard overhead, and the inside and outside of the large group of people not far away, dozens of smoke and dust once again rose from the inside, and countless fragments of human flesh and blood flew out of the road. At the same time, the sound of the explosion was accompanied by a smell of gunsmoke.
"Oh my God! Where the hell did this come from, and how did it end up on my men? ****** shouted in horror, and he could not understand why such a terrible thing had fallen from the sky and landed in the ranks of his cavalry.
"This is thunder from the sky." After sobering up a little, someone in the Mongolian army shouted: "God is dissatisfied with the bad things we have done and angry, and sent a divine thunder to punish us, everyone should stop doing evil...... Yes! ”
The loud man was slashed by a military academy and could no longer speak, but it also caused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers around him.
A young man named Wan Yanhong muttered in a low voice: "My brother is right, we, the cavalrymen who surrendered, kill people everywhere, set fires, and loot, where there is the slightest appearance of a regular army, we can't even rely on the side." What is the difference between what they did in the past and the Mongolian thieves, can it not arouse the wrath of God, and it is normal for divine thunder to fall. Brother is right, I can't help them anymore, I have to leave, so as to save myself from ending up with no place to bury my head. ”
At this time, because his good brother was killed by the military academy, the anger that had been held in his heart for a long time suddenly burst out, he turned his horse's head and ran to the drier fields on the west side of the road, and shouted loudly to the people in the team: "Ladies and gentlemen, we were forced to fight with the Mongols because the Mongols destroyed our home, and how many hurtful things were done with the Mongols, and now God can't see it, and send down divine thunder to punish our evil deeds, everyone leave with me, Let's find another Lord. ”
More than 100 of the remaining 300-odd horsemen heard this man's words, and they all responded in unison, and rode their horses after him.
When he saw the great hurry, he scolded angrily: "You ...... If you dare to flee from the battle, this general will be engaged in military law, come, surround me and take them all, and you will not let one go. ”
More than a hundred surrounded more than a hundred, and the cavalry behind was still forty or fifty zhang away, because the terrible vision that occurred in the cavalry in front made them stop their horses and dare not step forward. The rebels who were besieged were not afraid at all, and they fought with the people who came to capture them.
The scene that happened here was all seen clearly by Li Xiang and Zhao Er in the "clairvoyance", which made Li Xiang, who just wanted to order the third round of shelling, puzzled, and asked Zhao Er: "What's the matter, they are fighting their own people?" ”
Zhao Er was also a little confused, and thought for a while before saying, "Regardless of him, let them fight in their own nest and let them go to work hard." ”
Li Xiang pondered for a while, patted his thigh and said, "I'm afraid that someone in the Mongolian army is in rebellion." No, I have to go and get the soldiers who have betrayed the Mongols, who are certainly not Mongols, so that we can increase our power. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Er to raise objections, he immediately jumped out of the cover and rushed forward, raising the pistol in his hand and shouting: "The personal guards follow me, we will go and bring the cavalry who betrayed the Mongols here." ”
As soon as Li Xiang's cry came out, not only did the thirty guards who followed him pick up their crossbows and followed, but even the other two small groups of guards hidden a little far away also rushed towards him.
Zhao Eryi didn't stop Li Xiang, so anxious that he jumped up and scolded: "There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, how can there be a reason for the boss to personally rush into battle." The herald ordered the Tiger Squat Cannon to be commanded by the generals of the two artillery teams to shoot at the Mongolian army in the distance, so that they could not get close to the Mongolian cavalry, and the second unit of the escort team protected the artillery in place, the crossbowmen of the first unit assisted in defending the position, and the other crossbowmen rushed up with me to protect the adults.
