Chapter 128: The Strength of the Mongol Army
After the first detachment suffered a loss, the Mongolian cavalry seemed to be very afraid of the light crossbows and heavy crossbows in the Han army, and to be precise, the Mongolian cavalry could only roughly guess from the shape of the fifty light crossbows and the way they attacked;
None of them recognized what the heavy crossbow held by the Han army was, but they were very afraid of its power, fearing that the horse, chest, and abdomen would be shot through it again - a corpse under the horse's hooves was the biggest lesson in rashness and underestimating the enemy!
But just as they were cautiously chasing the tail of the Han army's ass and not daring to relax, the emaciated and vulnerable Han army in their eyes launched a new round of attacks on their left and right flanks instead of following the previous routine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Don't think that the Mongolian cavalry is very active, but no matter how fast the horses are, they are indeed not as fast as the gunpowder emitted by the firecrackers, and if the gunpowder is mixed with steel balls and iron balls, then the Mongolian cavalry will only have a corpse.
Even the soldiers on the upper and lower sides of the Chinese army did not know why they rushed to the two flanks of the Mongolian cavalry so simply, presumably because the other side was shocked by the Mongolian soldiers lying in the middle who were shot through armor, horses and internal organs by crossbows.
The Mongols are going the way they are most familiar with, the path they have forced countless adversaries to take, namely, death.
The firearms on both sides "banged", and those who ran at the back watched all the Mongol cavalry running in front of them let out a wail and fell to the ground with a terrifying face.
And the horses under the crotch and bottom of the dead Mongol cavalry were not spared, or were wounded by stray bullets, and the same beastly and sexual masters who followed them lay on the uneven ground and twitched!
Some of them were still howling and crying, and they began to miss their children, they missed their families, and they considered themselves proud sons of the Immortal Heaven, descendants of the great Genghis Khan Temujin......
However, on the battlefield, they think that life and think of life are useless, the battlefield is not a stage for losers, and there will be no time for them to repent and cry; The battlefield is absolutely terrifying, and its horror lies in the absence of reverence for human life!
The power of the firearm made by Liu Zhenming is huge, and the impact must be far-reaching, just like the Soviet Kalashnikov who invented the AK47 and Stoner of the M16 rifle, whose invention has affected a considerable part of life and changed the form of many battles.
Liu Zhenming was not very satisfied with the three-eyed firearm he made, he clearly understood that no matter how beautifully made and lightweight the three-eyed firearm was, it could not get rid of its own defects that needed to be loaded, and only the automatic rifle was king!
It's just that due to the limitations of the times, Liu Zhenming is also very proud to think that he can make a three-eyed fire gun to use, and it is also a cool thing to kill the Mongols on the battlefield.
Liu Zhenming deeply felt that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han and Nanren, who were oppressed by the hierarchy, hated the Mongols no less than the hatred of thousands of Chinese sons and daughters for the little devils when China was invaded by the Japanese in later generations.
Liu Zhenming, as a later generation, also believes that the Mongols do not belong to the Chinese, at least culturally, they do not agree, because they are too strong militarily!
In the era of cold weapons, the Mongolian cavalry was too powerful, across Asia, Africa and Latin America, at that time it was indeed not possible for any feudal monarch and emperor to do, so the Mongols were proud of their capital, but this also became the biggest obstacle to their development.
Mongolia in later generations will no longer have the style of hundreds of years ago, and there is absolutely no mistake in describing it as a "small country".
The Mongol cavalry, which had been hit hard by the firearms, did not dare to bite any longer, and began to notice the Han army attacking from their own flanks, but before they could wave their sabers in their hands with anger and slash at the head of the Han army, the other party actually rushed up to confront them first!
This is something they can't believe, this has broken through all the people they have in the Han army, they are all groups of professionally trained Mongolian elite troops, they have never heard of the timid Han people, who dare to take the initiative to provoke a war!
The Mongol cavalry was furious, really angry!
But when the saber in their hands collided with the three-eyed firearm in the hands of the Han army, they immediately realized the mystery, that is, the opponent's weapon could easily interrupt the saber that had been polished for many years!
There are also some sabers that have not been interrupted, but the brains of the people who use them have come out, and the three-eyed firecracker made of steel is different from the bulky iron hammer, its weight is much lighter, not to mention, the most important thing is that it is more powerful than the iron hammer!
As long as the Mongol cavalry was hit by any part of the body by the strange fire gun in the hands of the Han Chinese, none of them looked at the other party again, most of them fell back from the horse and fell upside down on the ground, and were trampled to death by his teammates' crotch and horses, and there was no need to mend the knife at all.
Soon, Zheng Defeng's most elite Chinese army also killed in front of the Mongolian cavalry from the middle and fought fiercely with it.
The second detachment of the Mongolian cavalry, which was already seriously damaged, was the opponent of the well-equipped, well-trained, and energetic ghost soldiers and birds, and in less than five round-trips, all 400 people of the second group of the Mongolian cavalry were killed.
After solving the two batches of squads, Zheng Defeng asked the soldiers in the middle of the rear army to push the siege crossbows, and the rest of the people all rushed out to duel with the last detachment of the first column of the Mongols!
As for the upper and lower roads of the rear army, Zheng Defeng still felt that he had to be conservative, and just let them wear bows and crossbows to fight with them.
Zheng Defeng thought that the deployment was more appropriate, but the changes in the battlefield did not develop in the direction he expected.
As soon as the middle troops of the Chinese army cleaned up the "debris and fallen leaves" of the second detachment of the Mongolian cavalry, they did not wait for the support of the rear army as previously arranged;
Then he rushed out with all the soldiers of the Chinese army and the upper and lower roads of the front army, but now he was forced to choose to gather all the forces of the left and right sides of all the Chinese army and the front army on his own to attack the cavalry of the last squad of the first Mongolian column!
This is very dangerous, the Mongols are cunning, this is not a slander or contempt or discrimination against them, but if they are not cunning, honest like a peasant, that is, they only use to plough their acres and thirds of land every day, they will not be able to catch prey.
The animals on the grassland are all spiritual and brainy, even if they are not primates like humans, but since they can survive in this world for so long, it must be their own way of life.
The animals that live in the grasslands, in particular, resemble the strange animals that live in the Amazon forest, that is, they were the owners of the place where they lived before humans harassed them.
And people are coming, natives, Mongolians, Asians, Africans are coming, animals can't compete with human intelligence, this of course does not mean that they are not smart, it can only mean that they have not been honed to have a developed left and right brain.
But since animals have been able to live in their land for so long, and even become masters of that land, they must have their own rules of survival.
And human beings, after coming in, in the primitive society, if they want to survive in the world, they have to adapt to the principle that the strong are kings and the fittest survive, just like all the beasts and animals in nature, and learn to hunt all animals that are weaker than themselves;
Slowly, human beings learned to use fire, learned to make iron and weapons, and no longer simply used their own bodies to defend against all the ferocious and tall animals, but also used the iron tools and weapons they made to obtain more food for them.
And the hunting of this food is often bloody; Zheng Defeng and Wu Yiyi are now facing the Mongols, who are jackals and beasts that are using blood to hunt for what or things they want, and they will definitely try their best to take the bait of their "prey".
Thanks to this time, the Mongolian cavalry came in such a hurry, and just hit this trail according to the orders of their superiors, but they were attacked by the Han army, and the other party was still strong enough to use new weapons and take the initiative to attack, in addition to unexpected, there was more panic.
After this battle, it was obvious that the Mongol cavalry could no longer be his clever hunters as usual, and the Han army was the prey;
Liu Zhenming, who single-handedly caused this opposite result, also came to the battlefield to survey the situation of the battlefield after the middle troops of the Chinese army killed all the Mongolian cavalry of the last detachment in the shortest possible time.
Of course, all this had to be done before dark, because in the time that Liu Zhenming was going back and forth for an hour, the members of the ghost soldiers and the elite soldiers sent by Lu Zhen defeated two small detachments of Mongolian cavalry, totaling more than 560 people.
As a result, the Han army lost no more artifacts than fifteen guns that could no longer be filled with gunpowder and a badly damaged siege crossbow.
Before nightfall, after determining that the Mongol cavalry would not attack again, Zheng Defeng ordered the entire army to withdraw after consulting the leaders of the upper, middle, and lower armies.
On the way back, Zheng Defeng looked at the elated brothers after the victory, talking and laughing, but he didn't feel any joy.
For this war planned with Su Zedong and personally directed by himself, Zheng Defeng thought that it was quite a failure!
The first point of his failure was that few of his soldiers did not obey their own arrangements;
