Chapter 701: All-out counteroffensive
The first to greet the Varat cavalry were dozens of balls and the explosions they caused. 【】
"Firearms, it's useless for the Ming army to hide firearms!"
Although in the fierce battle, the little prince still noticed the movement of the Ming army's rear formation, he grinded his teeth, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The Ming army did not attack him with firearms, of course he was glad that he was lucky, but in case the fire sieve was ...... No, he shook his head, it shouldn't be, there are at least 30,000 horsemen in the fire screen, and the Ming army is only a few thousand!
Of course, the Warat cavalry did not flinch, and they either deflected slightly to bypass it, or they directly led their horses to leap forward, completely undisturbed by their comrades who were killed and wounded, and the momentum of the charge did not diminish in the slightest.
It's just a firearm, nothing remarkable.
Their disdain lasted only for a moment, and after they broke through the smoke and dust, they saw a series of sword lights, like a waterfall rushing down the mountain, cutting horizontally.
Some of the cavalry rushed too fiercely, and there was no room to evade at all, so they crashed straight into it, and then turned into a bloody light in the sky.
Some people reacted quickly, and in shock, they hurriedly parried with weapons, but the result did not change anything, but in the blood light, there were more severed weapon remains. The stainless steel long knife weighing more than 20 catties was swung by the Hercules, and it was infinitely powerful.
There are also brave people who are not afraid of death, trying to fight the enemy. However, compared to the oncoming sword light, the mace or iron bone in their hands was too short to be handed over at all, and even if they barely came out, they were powerless in front of the heavy plate armor.
Since ancient times, in the records of Mo Dao fighting, there have always been these two sentences, Mo Dao soldiers are the strongest heavy infantry in the world in the era of cold weapons. In the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, the figure of Modao can be seen everywhere, and in front of Modao, the nomadic cavalry only has the share of wailing.
"Enter!"
The Mo Dao Formation is also in a dense formation, but compared with the spear formation, the distance between the sergeants is relatively far, which is left for wielding the Mo Dao, and it is also left for the people in the back row to catch up.
Killing the enemy in front of him, the Mo knife hand in the first row was slightly out of strength, but the Mo knife hand in the back row took advantage of this gap to stride forward, taking turns to advance, and always keeping the person with the most physical strength facing the enemy.
"Cast!"
According to the tactics of the Tang Dynasty, the Mo sword soldiers need to cooperate with other troops, at least under the cover of long-range firepower such as bows and crossbows. However, the tactics of the Guards have evolved from the night of thunder and fire, and the Mo sword soldiers in the army can read and fight.
With a loud roar from the big black man, the second round of sky-shaking thunder was thrown, and the dense charging array of the captives became a lot more sparse, after all, some people were blown down, and the rest of the people had to avoid obstacles.
"Slash!"
The sword light flickered, and it quickly became one, and under the mountain-like knife array, the Tartars were all powdered!
This is Xie Hong's carefully crafted killer weapon, which can be used to read and fight, if it weren't for the fact that Modao is too demanding on people, he even wants to make all the guards into Modao soldiers and crossbowmen.
The fire sieve soon spotted the anomaly, and as the cavalry brigade advanced, the sound of explosions and screams grew louder and louder. The screams are easy to understand, if the striker breaks through the Ming army array, it will naturally kill and injure a lot, but the explosion sound is not normal, the cavalry has no firearms, and even if there is, it is impossible to be so regular and neat when firing.
Every few breaths, he could hear an explosion; After about a certain period of time, it was a loud scream, and then ...... Soon, he didn't need to continue to speculate, because the distance between the two sides was closer, the monotonous sound of the Ming army's orders was already echoing in his ears, and he also saw the terrifying scene of the Ming army killing his own cavalry.
That's right, that scene can only be described as terrifying, their own cavalry is like a sheep in front of a lion and tiger, and they are slaughtered without any defense.
The sword light opened and closed, and the Ming army moved forward one after another, like the sharp teeth of the lion and tiger opening and closing; In the roar of the explosion, their own cavalry turned on their backs, helpless, even if they wanted to be like the Tatar cavalry, the men and horses collided together, but also because of the firearms of the Ming army, they could not raise the speed of the horses, so they could only wave the weapons in their hands weakly, like moths throwing fire, and disappeared in the steel storm of the Ming army.
The rough and simple orders of the generals of the Ming army also became a reminder, and as the distance approached, more and more captives and cavalry were annihilated.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Are these people the Ming Army or the demons crawling out of the Nine Hells? The fire sieve shouted frantically, he didn't want to admit that he had begun to be afraid, he was the Great Khan of Warat, and certainly he would not be intimidated by the mere five thousand foot soldiers.
However, the reins of the horse in his hand had begun to tighten, and the whip that had been waving had stopped, and the speed of the entire Chinese army was decreasing, and these incredible enemies in front of him frightened him and his cavalry, and they really couldn't understand that the steppe people were not invincible in cavalry and shooting. How could you lose in a confrontation with the foot soldiers?
The little prince also had the same question in his heart, and the strong crossbow of the Ming army could also explain that the Han people's skill in ingenuity was far above that of the steppe people, and it was not surprising that they had the upper hand in the bow and crossbow.
However, he has been paying attention to the back formation, so he also sees the embarrassment on the side of the fire sieve. However, it was not only the fire sieve that caused him doubts, but the enemy in front of him was also different, the gun array moved, the heavy cavalry also moved, and even the crossbowmen were advancing, and the counterattack of the Ming army was extremely sharp, which caught him off guard.
"Before!"
"Thorn!"
"Before!"
…… The order of the Ming army's gun array was simpler, and the dense gun array was like a forest, like an angry hedgehog. Stepping over the fallen comrades, stepping on the corpses of the enemy, the formation of the guards was not in the slightest disorder, and they went upstream, beating the charge of the captives alive.
After the gun formation, the crossbowmen still stood tall, only bending down from time to time, taking the loaded crossbow from the auxiliaries, then aiming, shooting, and so on.
The little prince could see clearly by this time that under their feet were rows of carts, advancing on the complicated battlefield, still walking on the ground as smoothly and smoothly, and even without affecting the shooting of the crossbowmen who had been pulled.
The crossbowmen stood on the roof of the car and fired rows of crossbow bolts into the ranks of the captives, slowing their charge and providing cover for the advance of the gun array; On the cart, the auxiliaries quickly wound the crossbow with strange devices, which ensured that the crossbowmen could shoot uninterruptedly; In front of the car, there were horses, people, trying to pull the vehicle, these people are not only auxiliaries and people, but also many wounded soldiers, difficult or heroic, the army unswervingly forward, crushing forward, declaring to the world the power of the Son of Heaven's guard, and the might of the Son of Tomorrow.
At the same time as the Mo knife hand and the gun array were exerting power, on the command platform of the Ming army, another banner was erected, and the simple strokes, like the orders of the Ming army, brought boundless killing opportunities.
"Fire!" Iron Rider is like fire! The heavy cavalry, which had been holding its breath all along, suddenly accelerated, rushing forward like the flames of a burning plain.
"Send an order to Usu and Eto, and be sure to entangle the enemy's heavy cavalry!" The little prince shouted hysterically.
The Chinese army of the Ming army with a combination of guns and crossbows is already difficult to deal with, and the fire sieve is also resisted by the heavy infantry of the Ming army, no, it should be said that it was defeated and retreated, and the infantry is not used after breaking at all, but the killer weapon that the little emperor has been hiding!
Therefore, the Ming army immediately raised the strange dragon flag after that force made a move, and then launched a full-scale counterattack. After a hard fight so far, the Ming army finally exhausted its means, but there was no hole card on its side, and if the opponent's iron cavalry broke through at this time, it would be only a dead end.
Let Wusu entangle the opponent's cavalry, and then concentrate all his strength to break the Ming army's central army before the fire screen is defeated, this is the only way to win. The gun formation of the Ming army has clearly been shaken before, and at the same time, their casualties are also quite large, and they are just short of the last force, aren't they?
To be honest, Wusu is far less optimistic than the little prince, and after watching the battle for so long, he has long been cold. The new types of soldiers of the Ming army emerge in endlessly, especially the group of heavy infantry behind the formation, it is really terrible, they have firearms at a distance, and if they are close, those giant knives are even more chilling, what kind of soldiers are these, how can they be so powerful?
Just because he was shocked, so, even with him, he even felt that the heavy cavalry in front of him was a little strange, well, not that he thought, but it was indeed a little strange, these people's weapons were actually spears, two or three feet long spears!
One point is long, one point is strong, holding such a long spear, and it is lined up in a dense array, and everyone and horses are all armored, like a group of moving iron buckets, how can this be resisted? Entangled? Isn't it the right way to find a way to get behind the enemy's back, or to fight and retreat and exhaust the enemy's horsepower?
But the horn of the Chinese army was anxious for a while, and the loyal dog of Eto had been urging, and if he didn't run away, he could only bite the bullet.
"The heavy armor raises the shield in front, and the person behind holds the bow, ready to turn at any moment......" Usu shouted loudly, he didn't want to end up like a fire sieve, if the striker was unfavorable, he was going to run away, knowing that he couldn't win, why should he be sent to death?
The scene of the cavalry hedging was quite spectacular, especially when one of the sides was advancing like a bamboo, and the scene looked very pleasing to the eye. Usu's prudence saved his life, and as soon as Pu made contact, the men and horses of the forward were stabbed down like wheat harvesters, and the speed of the horses and the spears made it almost impossible to resist from the front.
The spear was a one-time weapon, and at the same time as it stabbed the enemy, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army had already withdrawn, and then picked up the melee weapon from the side of the horse.
It was a meteor-like weapon, with a barbed hammer head in front of it, attached to the handle behind it by a chain, and smashed down with a round, even an iron shield that could not be stopped. If the shield is not broken, the person will also be shocked, and even if he does not fall off the horse, he will be knocked down by the successive attacks because he cannot react.
After being hit head-on by the Divine Arm Bow, Wusu's fighting spirit was not strong, and this time the forward suffered a heavy setback, and he was even more like a bird with a frightened bow, and he couldn't care about it anymore, so he turned his horse and fled.
He doesn't want to die, especially if he doesn't want to die so inexplicably, it's obviously those commonplace soldiers, but they have all become so weird, to show that the army has no demon law, who believes it!
