Chapter 697: Bloody Battle

The captive cavalry was indeed very strong, and the cavalry under his command overcame the obstacle posed by the corpses of their companions, and at a distance of less than 100 meters, they lifted their horses up again, and even gathered a formation, forming a sharp arrow formation with a little arc, and crashed straight into the spear formation. [No pop-up novel network]

This is not only because of their fierceness and fearlessness, but also because of the spear formation itself.

The pikemen are not a very technical thing, and the pikemen are a commonplace class, and this class has never been known for being tough, and its biggest feature is that it is cheap.

Except for a spearhead, the spear does not need any iron. If you can make do with it, you don't even need a gun head, just find a bamboo pole and cut an inclined surface, even if it is cut off, it is still an inclined plane, except for a short point, there is no other impact.

The ashigaru of the Wa Kingdom and the Qi family army of Qi Jiguang in later generations are all so improvised, and the peasant soldiers of the Wa Kingdom use the same weapons, and they can also make a great reputation, and the military level of the Qi military god can also be seen.

Therefore, seeing that Lin Ziqi represented a spear formation, the pull-out scraper who rushed to the front, and the little prince and others who watched the battle in the back breathed a long sigh of relief. The pull and scratch rushed more violently, and the little prince's orders became more urgent.

Since the strong crossbows of the Ming army can't maintain that kind of stormy attack all the time, then taking advantage of this gap to rush forward and completely defeat them is the only option!

The horses' hooves were like a shower, and the thousands of captives who had escaped death stopped in a wild attack. The cavalrymen, all with their legs on their horses, still holding their shields in one hand and their weapons in the other, screamed frantically, ready to pay back to the enemy for all the oppression they had received, and behind them were a brigade of captives like a dark cloud.

How could a spear formation formed by a mere 30,000 soldiers and horses withstand the charge of 100,000 iron horsemen? He roared and threw out the shield in his hand, then rode his horse forward and slammed into the Ming army's spear array.

The vanguard cavalry had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to open the way for the army behind them at all costs, and to eliminate this strange Ming army as soon as possible, and the depression brought to them by the crossbow array had been transformed into madness.

Horses are very spiritual animals, and they will instinctively avoid danger, but the captives are blindfolded, and under the urging of their owners, they are also ignorant and fearless to pounce on danger.

The Tartars who don't think about it are berserk, even generals like Ba Lost Scrape, and when it comes to the moment of death, they will not spare their lives at all. After him, the Tartars all urged their horses desperately, and crashed into them one after another, as if they had not seen the spear of the forest at all.

"Okay, it's good to pull out the scrape!" The little prince shouted in ecstasy, there are many ways to deal with the spear array, but the most suitable for the current situation is the choice of pulling out the lost scrape.

Although the loss was a little bigger, the effect was very good, he saw that the Ming army's originally neat spear formation had begun to bend inward, as long as he added a little more force, it should be able to completely break through.

"For the wings of the king, such as the prosperity of the forest, the guard of the Son of Heaven, I am invincible!"

The little prince was not happy for long, the gun formation was indeed bent, and the erected shields had fallen a lot, but all this happened only at the moment of impact, and before the cavalry behind could break into the gaps that their companions had knocked out, those gaps had disappeared.

In the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis, the whole gun formation was like a person, and when someone fell, someone quickly stepped forward, holding up his shield and raising his spear, as if nothing had happened. The only thing that can prove the impact just now is the blood on the tip of the gun.

"Bump again, crash them!"

"Rush in, rush in!"

It is not irresponsible, the tacit understanding formed by the shepherds in fishing and hunting makes their dependence on the commander not very strong, and a 10,000-strong commander dies, and his own thousand-commander and centurion take responsibility. What's more, on the front line of fierce battles, there is no need for any command, as long as you encourage your companions to assault.

"Bang!" After the loud bang, the shield toppled over, and the warriors behind spurted blood from their mouths and fell down, despite many reinforcement measures, but they still could not stop the huge force of one man and one horse galloping.

However, the fate of the horse and the knight on the horse was even more tragic, and several spears stabbed into his body at the same time. He grabbed the barrel of the gun in pain and tried to cut it off with a knife, but was stunned to find that the barrel behind the head of the gun was actually iron, not to mention that he was weak after being injured, even when he was healthy, it was impossible to do such a thing.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow flashing, and a companion bumped into him, so it was okay, at least the shield bearers of the Ming army could be seriously injured, one for another, and there were many warriors in our grassland, he thought with relief, even if the spear he drew out had taken away his last trace of vitality.

However, what made him die was that his companion had not even hit the shield, and had been held up by more than a dozen spears in mid-air, without achieving the slightest result.

The same scene was repeated on a long front, and in the face of the decisive assault of the captives, the young guards did not show weakness, although the array was bent from time to time, and from time to time a companion fell, but the gun array would soon recover itself, as neat as ever, and flourish like a forest!

"How is that possible?"

The little prince looks rough and haughty, but he is not lacking in heart, and the two 10,000-strong teams of the striker are his descendants, but it is not the one who continues to follow up. It is enough for the Khan to set such an example, and if all the troops charging are descendants, then he is an idiot.

Therefore, in this formation, there are some generals of the lineage surrounding him, and these people are now all gray with disbelieving expressions. In close combat, the striker is already desperate enough, and I believe that no matter what kind of opponent he encounters, even if it is a strong enemy like the Xuanfu border army, it is impossible not to even open a gap.

However, the facts they saw in front of them told them that this level of attack was completely unable to defeat these Ming troops in front of them. Although the enemy also suffered some casualties, the exchange ratio was almost one for another, but this was a cavalry for infantry, and it was also the most ordinary pikeman.

"It doesn't matter, if you continue to fight like this, we will win in the end." The little prince's general attack order was issued in a timely manner, so the follow-up captives were closely following the forward, and there was no problem of interruption, as long as the continuous attack was maintained, even if it was consumed, the Ming army could be exhausted.

......This scene is really magnificent......" Xie Hong was full of feelings.

Aside from the idea of making spears and providing some queue training, he didn't contribute to the spear formation at all. It is true that this method of warfare has no technical content, and there is no room for improvement, and it is nothing more than emphasizing discipline and coordination.

However, the spear array is typical easier said than done, without the courage to see death as home, and the discipline of Mount Tai collapsed forward without moving, how could it be possible to achieve the current effect?

"The Tartar is crazy, if it goes on like this, sooner or later......" If you change the soldiers and horses of Jizhen, you can stand still in the face of the Tartar's desperate charge, and the exchange ratio even reaches one to one, mildness will only be happy, even if he has few soldiers, even if he is defeated in the end, as long as he can bring the loss of tens of thousands of horsemen to the Tartar, they will have to stop for a few years.

But not now, the emperor is here, the stakes are very high!

"Isn't it time to mobilize General Zhang's reserves? Or let General Jiang's cavalry move to relieve the pressure on the front line? ”

The vanguard of the Lost Scrape had been lost, and the cavalry of Tusizan followed by the same descendants of the little prince, with similar elite and equipment. The overwhelming captives slapped over like a stormy wave, and the array of 30,000 guards seemed so thin.

"No, it's not time yet, the Tartars' actions are very strange, and they still have a backhand." Xie Hong shook his head, the words suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "However, you can't let the soldiers fight alone, let them see how powerful the combination of guns and crossbows is." ”

The wind word flag shook again and again, and a group of people suddenly stood behind the gun array, holding the divine arm bow in their hands, and the crossbow arrows glowed with cold light, it was the strong crossbowmen who had just made a great show of might.

"Not good!" The little prince's face changed drastically, and the crossbow could not be bent and shot, so before and after the attack on the Ming army, he ignored the enemy's crossbowmen, but who would have thought that the Ming army was cunning, and he didn't know what was done, and the crossbowmen actually stood on a high place, so wouldn't it be ...... "The wind passes through the forest gaps, and the distance and near are combined!" Xie Hongyun smiled lightly, with a lupine scarf, and the posture of the canopy disappearing between talking and laughing.

The strong captives were indeed gray, and the cavalry who were caught off guard were hit suddenly, and the people turned over on their backs, and the forward queue suddenly became a mess, and they no longer had the decisive charge posture just now.

With such a rare gap, the Guards who formed the gun array quickly repaired their positions and replaced the wounded, seeing that the onslaught of the Tartars was about to be lost.

"They have crossbows, we also have bows, let the rear team release arrows!" The little prince spat out the next military order from between his teeth.

"King Khan, our people are still ahead......"

"If you can't break down the Ming army's formation, everyone is dead, die under your own people's bows and arrows, or die under the tips of the Ming army's guns and crossbows, is there a difference?" The little prince said gloomily: "Don't worry, the fire screen will arrive soon, the Ming army's strong crossbow and gun arrays are in the forefront, and the cavalry has no time to turn around, they are dead." ”

Through the banner, the little prince's order was quickly transmitted to the front line, and the captives drew their bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows fell again, regardless of each other, on the heads of both sides of the fierce battle. Not to be outdone, the crossbowmen counterattacked and inflicted more casualties on the Tartars, with casualties increasing on both sides.

"Your Majesty, the Tartar formation is chaotic, it is better to send out reserves and counterattack the whole army!" Wen saw the fighters, and the guards trained by Zhengde were not just able to stand and resist, and the gun array was as powerful as it moved.

Although the crazy diffuse fire of the captives caused some damage to the Ming army, their own casualties were greater, after all, the plate armor of the guards was stronger and the defense was higher. The opponent's formation is already a little scattered, and if the reserve team goes out and gives them a strong blow, they will definitely be able to achieve success in one fell swoop.

"Well......" Zhengde was a little moved, the Tartars should indeed have a conspiracy, but it seems that this conspiracy is too late to be carried out, and when the Guards defeat the enemy in front of them, no conspiracy will be used.

Xie Hong wanted to remind him, it can be seen that Zhengde is hesitant, he also hesitates, he doesn't feel that his military talent is better than Zhengde, not to mention, he also feels sorry for the casualties on his side, if he can take advantage of the situation to fight back and completely establish the victory, it will not be a good thing.

"Long live Lord, look, isn't the black smoke over there...... Wolf smoke? The third father-in-law suddenly pointed to the north and shouted, his voice was already sharp, coupled with the panic at this time, it sounded very poignant, like the air defense siren of later generations.

"It's wolf smoke, and there is an enemy coming from behind!" Xie Hong had done this in Liaodong, and he couldn't be more familiar with wolf smoke.

"This is the back hand of the Tartar? Where will the enemy come from? ”

Zhengde is still so calm, but he cares more about the identity of the comer than the battle situation.

"Hahaha......" The little prince looked up to the sky and laughed, "The fire screen is finally here, those big officials in the Ming Kingdom are really useless, and they actually let people report the letter in advance, but it doesn't matter, even if the little emperor knows that there is an enemy behind him, can he still have the power to return to the sky?" Inform the whole army, reinforcements are coming in an instant, and victory is at hand. ”

"Oh!" The captives roared with joy and fought hard for a long time, and the turning point for deciding the surname finally came.
