Six, seven, five, who is your target?
The two sides first clashed with long-range forces, and the distance was still less than two hundred meters, and the cavalry of Fuyuwei had already taken out their bows and arrows, ready to open their bows and arrows to give the other party a ruthless attack, but the farthest range of the horn bow was only fifty or sixty meters, and it was not the time yet.
But Wu Yijun will not wait for them.
One hundred and fifty meters away, the Wu Yi army was already in the array, and the Wu Yi soldiers picked up their flintlock pistols with good guns and directly pulled the trigger.
Although the soldiers in the back could not shoot due to the blockage of the robes, the number of soldiers in the front rows had already reached tens of thousands, after all, the front line of Wu Yijun was very open.
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and tens of thousands of hot lead bullets were fired towards the Fuyu Guard cavalry, not only the 3,000 people of Qinggeltai, but also some other small groups of Fuyu Guard cavalry were attacked.
In this round of shooting, at least more than 300 of Qinggeltai's men were killed and wounded, and one percent of them were lost in one shot, and he was lucky that he lay on his horse as soon as he saw the shooting over there, and he was not knocked over. But I saw a cavalryman next to him being directly hit in the front door, the bones of the head were beaten to pieces, and the lead bullet smashed into the head, because of the huge pressure, the whole head has been completely deformed, but it is not enough to lift the skull, so the top of the head is irregularly raised, and the two upturned bones are beaten into a roof, and blood and brains are mixed and oozing out of it.
Watching with a tearful eye, he hung the hammer on the side of the saddle, took out the big bow on his back, and caught a large arrow. Shoot in the opposite direction. His archery skills go without saying, and an arrow hit the front door of a Wu Yijun on the opposite side. It was nailed straight in, peeking through the back of his head. He still won't give up. Another arrow pierced the chest of a Wu Yijun on the opposite side.
But compared to the tens of thousands of Wu Yijun, this is just a drop in the bucket, and he only has these two chances.
At a distance of almost sixty meters, the elite of the three thousand Fu Yu Wei opened their bows and arrows and shot towards the Wu Yi army on the opposite side.
dense rain of arrows; fell, Wu Yijun was also unable to resist, and the soldiers had to rely on flesh and blood to fight.
But this is where their protection comes into play.
Or rather. It's the target they've chosen that has a problem.
Due to the number of people, the cross-section of this Fuyu Guard cavalry of several thousand people is only more than 200 zhang, while the cross-section of the Wuyi Army cavalry of more than 30,000 on the opposite side is close to six or seven miles, and it is clear at a glance. Of the three armies of the Zhennan Wuyi Army cluster, the Fifth Cavalry Army was on the left, the Sixth Cavalry Army was on the right, and the more than 9,000 cavalry in the pro-military battalion were in the center.
On the left and right were a dark brown color—the color of the leather armor worn by the cavalry of the northeastern tribes. And in the middle is a blazing red, the color of cotton armor.
Due to the problem of width, the rain of arrows of the Fuyu Guard cavalry almost all fell on the pro-soldier camp in the middle, and the protection of the pro-soldier camp was the best among the three armies - cotton armor and iron helmets. Compared to light leather armor. The cotton armor on their bodies was much better than the protection of feather arrows, and instead of the original felt hats, they had replaced them with helmets, which were made of pig iron. The skill required is not very high, the cost is quite low, but it is hard enough.
Wu Yijun's leather bureau is not like those bureaus under the Ming Dynasty's military department, who dare to be unscrupulous and corrupt. Cut corners. The materials used are all ten, and the iron wall of this helmet is three points thick. The weight has reached an astonishing more than ten catties, which is a little heavier. But it will be a great protection for the lives of the soldiers. After all, the power of the bow is not comparable to that of a bullet, and with the protection of this helmet, as long as it is not directly shot in the face, then it will not be a big problem.
In addition, the horn bow is not a hard bow, at least it is too far behind the Jurchens, and it relies more on the acceleration force of falling from a high altitude to kill. In the face of the rain of arrows, the soldiers kept their heads down tightly and raised their arms to cover the door. The arrow landed on the helmet on the leather armor, and most of it slipped away or was bounced away, and the actual damage was not great.
This round of arrow rain caused about thirty or so cavalry of the Wuyi Army to be damaged in battle - in this case, as long as they were injured and fell off their horses, it would be no different from death.
How quickly did the cavalry on both sides hedge? So much so that the Jurchen cavalry only had time to shoot this round.
Next, the cavalry on both sides drew their weapons and prepared for close combat.
The dragoons of the central guard battalion leveled the big guns in their hands, the wild Jurchen cavalry waved the mace in their hands and laughed wildly, and the Fuyu guard cavalry on the opposite side also waved the scimitars in their hands and let out a strange beast-like cry.
This time, those who accompanied him to Partridge Town were all the elite of Fuyuwei.
However, this elite is only compared with the other cavalry of Fuyuwei, in fact, these so-called elites are equipped with leather armor, and the war horses are also wearing leather armor, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are still scimitars, perhaps more sophisticated and sharper. This kind of equipment is extremely shabby compared to the Jurchen kidnapping horses, and the Wu Yi army on the opposite side is much more luxurious than them, not to mention that all the dragoons are wearing three-layer foam nail cotton armor, even those wild Jurchen cavalry are also leather armor plus mace This kind of heavy weapons and equipment, not to mention that the impact of the Northeast horse is far better than that of the Mongolian dwarf.
But compared to the other cavalry of Fu Yuwei, who only had a set of tattered robes and a scimitar in his hand, this was indeed an out-and-out heavy cavalry.
Of course, Fu Yuwei is not to be humiliated, the front is the two hundred Great Khan Guards led by Qinggeltai, they are all wearing black heavy steel armor, extremely heavy, the corners of the exposed armor are enough to be the thickness of a palm, and their weapons are heavy weapons such as axes and bronze sledgehammers. The helmet was also made of fine iron, with a visor on the front, and two sharp iron horns on the top of the head, which shimmered with sharp light. When necessary, it's also a pretty formidable killing weapon.
The war horses they rode under their crotches were the best Mongolian horses with long endurance. Eat everything with strong tenacity and a large man rarely seen among Mongolian horses.
Even the body of the war horse. It's also armor, but it's leather armor. It's just that the outside is covered with a thick layer of iron leaves, and the protection is also amazingly strong.
The two sides are telling closer!
Shi Dazhu's face was grim, and he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Order, points!" ”
"Points!"
Dozens of small red triangular flags were erected in unison, and a whining horn sounded, but the horn sounded short and powerful, sounding three times in a row.
In the ears of outsiders, this is just three horn sounds, and in the ears of the officers of the Wuyi Army. It represents the implementation of a tactic that has been agreed upon long before the war.
Split formation.
A lot of hard training of Wu Yijun showed its effect at this time, and the cavalry followed behind their superiors with great skill, and the whole formation did not have the slightest panic. Due to the large number of people, the process of splitting the formation was a little slow, and the entire huge team of the entire Wu Yi Army, which was originally neatly arranged, slowly split into three teams, while the middle team viciously met the Fuyu Guard cavalry on the opposite side.
There were too few Fu Yuwei people who came to intercept him, so he could only watch as the cavalry of the Wu Yi Army, who were wearing dark brown leather armor and wielding maces, no different from their Jurchen allies, swept past him not far away, and pounced fiercely towards the rear.
Because the cross-section of Wu Yi's army was too wide, the number of Fuyu's guards who came to intercept was too small. They couldn't even delay the two wings of Wu Yijun's flanks.
If you look at it from the sky, you will find that the thick black line representing Wu Yijun is now open, spread out, and has become a big net. Towards the Fuyu Guard cavalry scattered throughout the southern part of the town.
Qing Ge Tai was already dumbfounded, he didn't expect that these incoming enemies would be so skilled in horsemanship. The opponent divides his troops, which means that his own blocking is useless. From a strategic point of view, this interception. It's a complete failure. There was a huge anger surging in his heart, and he didn't think about it anymore, and the only thought was to kill, kill, kill! Kill all the enemies on the other side!
Then the next moment, the two sides collided fiercely.
The first person is naturally Qinggeltai.
Rushing to the front, he was like a fierce locomotive, and the momentum was actually to make a Wuyi army dragoon standing in front of him unconsciously stunned - this is also human nature, no matter who it is, seeing the heavy truck coming head-on, the first reaction is to dodge, but often the body does not listen to the command, but will stay on the spot in a daze.
But at this time on the battlefield, this stunned person is about to die.
"Die!"
Qinggeltai let out a fierce roar, and the bronze hammer in his hand slammed hard, the instinct of the dragoon master was the iron spear in his hand obliquely, wanting to dodge, but the bronze sledgehammer in Qinggeltai's hand was actually vegetarian?
His bronze sledgehammer was the size of a winter melon, and the handle was about four feet long, and it was carved with patterns, which were already covered with red rust, and it was obvious that I don't know how many people had died under it. The casting process of this sledgehammer is quite ordinary, and it has nothing to do with delicate and delicate things, and the material is bronze - since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bronze weapons are very rare, because of their soft quality, they are inferior to iron. But here it is complementary, if the weight of this sledgehammer is iron, I am afraid that it will not be fifty or sixty catties, considering the density of copper, it will only be heavier.
And what's even more explosive is that he has a sledgehammer like him, and he is one in one hand.
There was a loud bang, and the big gun made of pig iron was actually smashed and bent raw, and the whole became ninety degrees. The crooked part plunged upside down into the chest of the dragoon, and the dragoon screamed so badly that blood spilled from his mouth and nose, and a stream of blood came out of the wound, and he saw that he would not survive. Rao is like this, Qing Getai refused to forgive, a sledgehammer in his hand, without much strength, was already the dragoon from the horse flying out, when it fell, hit another Wu Yi sergeant, the two rolled together, and were trampled into meat paste by the past army.
Qing Getai didn't stop at all, the sledgehammer in his hand smashed down hard at the dragoon behind him, but this dragoon was extremely brave, it was a hard hit, and the iron spear in his hand stabbed at Qing Getai's neck, Qing Ge Tai didn't care, but his body was slightly on one side. The tip of the spear stabbed into the shoulder, and suddenly burst into a sparkling spark. And there was nothing more than a white mark on his heavy armor.
At that moment, he leaned forward. Leaving the saddle, his right arm leaned forward, and the bronze sledgehammer in his right hand had already smashed on the top of the dragoon's head, and under the smashing of the giant hammer, the hard skull had no power to resist, and in an instant the dragoon's head was smashed into a rotten watermelon, red blood, gray-white brains, and miserable white skull fragments with blood. Scattered in all directions.
Then, immediately after, the cavalryman and the war horse under his crotch were violently knocked away by Qinggeltai, giving way to the passage in front of him, knowing that at this time, his body fell to the ground staggeringly.
Almost at the same moment, after the giant hammer in Qinggeltai's left hand flew the iron spear of a dragoon, the dragoquat was also fearless of death, roared, pulled out his waist and stabbed at the door of Qinggeltai's face. Qinggeltai smashed his saber again. It smashed into his arm, and although the blow smashed the bones in his entire arm to pieces, it didn't kill him, it just threw him to the ground. And then the next moment. As soon as he leaped from his horse, the horse's two bowl-sized front hooves landed on the dragoon's chest, shattering his internal organs. Blood gushed out of his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs.
"Hah!" Qinggeltai let out a roar of anger. His face was full of hideous horror, and his front was already stained red by the blood that had just been splashed everywhere. The whole person is as hideous as a demon god.
Although the rest of the Fuyuwei Guards were not as brave as Qinggeltai, they were not something that the dragoons could easily resist. They are already considered to be heavy cavalry, and they are also heavy cavalry with the flexibility of light cavalry, so they are naturally not easy to fight. And what caused the dragoons the most headache was that the armor of these Tartars was too thick, and the sharp sabers and heavy iron spears that Wu Yijun had always had to fight against were stabbed at them, but they could only bring a spark, or a shallow crack. But if you are hit by them, you will definitely lose your combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that although Qing Getai's personal bravery is invincible, it can't be said that he can compete with Lian Zining, but on this battlefield, after all, it is not personal martial arts that can decide everything.
The more than 100 Fuyuwei guards led by him continued to advance, like a red-hot sharp knife piercing into the butter, and without hindrance, it went straight into the array of Wu Yijun, a depth of more than twenty steps. The Wu Yi army that died under the sledgehammer of more than 100 people exceeded 300 people, but except for them who went against the current, the other Fuyu guard cavalry were all defeated.
Although only the dragoons came to meet them, the number of these dragoons was still more than three times that of Qing Ge Tai and the others, not to mention, as Lian Zining's old team, their combat effectiveness was not only not inferior to Fu Yuwei's ordinary cavalry, but even surpassed. The reason why it is not the opponent of Qing Ge Tai and the others is because the guards led by Qing Ge Tai are too strong, and they are already at the same level as the Jurchen Kidnapping Horse. And this kind of decisive battle of cavalry hedging on the plain can give full play to their strength.
As soon as they came into contact with the dragoons, after a slight stalemate for a moment, the Fuyu Guard cavalry was defeated.
The strength is inferior to others, the number is far inferior to people, coupled with the continuous rush, fatigue after a long battle, and the period is low, it is strange that it can be stopped.
That is, it took almost five minutes for a stick of incense, and the cavalry that intercepted it had been defeated and scattered, and it was impossible to form an army.
Many of Fu Yuwei's cavalry even lost their fighting spirit, and fled as soon as they hit their horses, and were chased and killed by Wu Yijun behind them, and they were killed with a river of blood.
Looking back, Qinggeltai suddenly found that he was already in the depths of the encirclement.
Just when Qinggeltai was defeated and retreated by the dragoons in the middle, the cavalry of the Wuyi Army on both flanks also achieved frequent results.
After they fought with the intercepted Fuyu Guard cavalry in the middle, they immediately began to divide into thousands of households under the leadership of their respective officers. One team is a thousand households, one thousand one hundred and twenty people. After these detachments separated, the first thing they did was to find their opponents and go forward to fight them.
Before the battle, they were given orders to strangle their opponents and divide them into circles.
These detachments are like tenacious silk threads in the fishing net, firmly cutting the opponent apart, and the scattered cavalry of the Fuyuwei can only be a fat fish in the net.
Even Ha Bu was surrounded.
It's just that he has already gathered more than 2,000 Fuyuwei elites by his side, forming a huge circle formation to resist the attack of the Wuyi army on the periphery.
The water-like rain of arrows spilled out, because the Great Khan was behind him, these Fuyu Guard cavalry were fighting desperately, so they were not afraid of being broken for a while, but any clear-eyed person could see it at a glance, and this stalemate would definitely not last long.
Surrounded by a large army, he sat on his horse with a gloomy face.
He didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so much in an instant.
He didn't expect Wu Yijun to come so quickly, and what he didn't expect was that the reaction of his department would be so slow. It's just a cup of tea, and the entire southern part of Partridge Town is covered by a sea of red and dark brown Wu Yi Army, and the leather robes worn by some of the Fuyu Guard cavalry look more like garbage floating in the river......
This is also the most incomprehensible point.
Isn't Lian Zining's target this time supposed to be Amin, why is he gathering so many troops here? He lost his mind and went crazy, why can't he distinguish a priority?
But these are not the point, it is better to find a way to break through.
When there is no bloody battle here, Amin's situation over there is much better.
There was only one army in charge of the offensive on the northern front, which was Dong Laohu's Fourth Cavalry Army.
The Fourth Cavalry Army is not a complete establishment, and the Fourth Cavalry Army, which has more than 12,000 people, has been surrounded and intercepted by the bloody siege of the previous day, although it has caused heavy casualties to the coalition forces, but it has also caused considerable casualties to itself, and now there are roughly more than 10,000 people left. The Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side has been repeatedly damaged before, and the original 30,000 elites are still about 23,000 left, and they are still tired divisions.
Therefore, the gap between the two sides is not as big as it seems on paper.
What's more, the order Dong Laohu received was not to fight hard, but to be entangled, and to entangle, so that the flexibility became very large.
He was originally a horse thief, and he was extremely familiar with this kind of small group of outflanking entanglement, wasting his physical strength, gradually encroaching, and finally winning in one fell swoop. Under his command, the Fourth Army did not assemble a formation at all, but divided into hundreds of households, divided into teams one by one, and directly killed the Jurchen cavalry before they could react.
Rigidly entangled.
There had been a bloody fight earlier, and both sides were very red after meeting, and the fierce fight began immediately.
Dong Sanlin's slashing knife in his hand drew a curve diagonally, and it didn't take much effort to break the throat of a Jurchen cavalryman, and the blood was splattered out due to the huge squeezing force in his chest. The Jurchen cavalryman threw down the iron bone in his hand, and instinctively reached out to cover the wound, but the blood couldn't be stopped, and blood foam gushed out of his mouth. He suddenly felt that his throat, which had been hoarse and dry after fighting for half a day, became cool, and a sudden feeling of enlightenment seemed to rush from his throat to the sky like a fountain, and the sky in front of him was first very yellow, then red, and then boundless darkness.
Sleep, sleep, there seemed to be a voice calling to him. Finally, his spirit could no longer hold on, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Finally, I don't have to fight anymore, it's comfortable!
The Jurchen cavalryman fell off his horse with his throat clutched, and the next moment he was trampled into a mess of rotten flesh by the hooves of an unknown number of horses, and he died completely.
Dong Sanlin is a master, this is a recognized fact in Wu Yijun. Wu Yijun has held many martial arts competitions, and everyone also has a private competition, Dong Sanlin's strength is recognized, especially the knife technique, in the fourth army can also be ranked in the top ten - this is already very good, you know, the fourth army is basically horse thieves recruit An, among which there are many strange people. Although many reckless heroes are inconspicuous, they may not be able to leave much of a name in history, but the work under their hands is really unambiguous. (To be continued.) )
