Chapter 281: Drill and Ambush (II)
Under the shouting of Ezhe, the rest of the Mongols quickly stabilized their figures, and they divided into two parts, and the hundreds of people who had already reached the bridge in front adjusted their horses, and still rushed towards the soldiers of the Yong'an army with random screams.

These Mongolian Tatars also knew that the firearms of the officers and soldiers in front of them were different, but they still believed that as long as they rushed to the front, these southern barbarians would definitely rush away as before!
Many of the Mongols in the second half turned over and dismounted, took out the curved bow they carried from the back, and skillfully opened the bow and arrows, although the specific number of the Ming army could not be seen.
However, they bent their bows towards the sky, and only shot at the black oppressive piece, and the arrows were swift, sending out a 'whoosh' wind and rushing into the sky, and they reached the top of the heads of the soldiers of the Yong'an Army, and suddenly fell downward!
At this time, the Mongols in the rear were about more than 100 steps away from the shield array of the Yong'an army, which was not within the effective range, even so, Wang Dashan still shouted with a giant knife: "Raise the shield!" ”
Raising a shield to block the Tartar's bow and arrow, this is what Xiao Yi has been practicing, but it is the first time he has encountered a Tartar's arrow shot for so long, and many people don't know if they can block the Tartar's arrow.
But doubts are doubts, hearing Wang Dashan's drinking order, followed by the sound of the general drinking order, and the sentry commanders, captains, and A commanders of each post immediately gave orders.
The sword player who was waiting for the battle shouted, raised the large shield in his hand, and formed a shield wall, enveloping the spearman inside, if he could see it from above at this time.
The Yong'an Army's military formation at this time, whether it was in the sky or in front, was a shield wall composed of half-body shields.
The Tartar bow and arrow were already sparse here, hitting the half-body shield with a 'ding-dong' sound, and very few arrows could pass through the gap in the half-body shield and fall to the spearmen below, even if there were a few arrows, they were protected by the full-armed iron armor of the Yongan Army.
This round of bows and arrows did not cause any damage to the Yongan Army, but made the soldiers more and more confident in their hearts, full of fighting spirit.
After a rain of arrows, the Tartar cavalry had already rushed to the shield array of the Yong'an army, and rushed straight to the front, only to find that the half-body shield was surrounded by dense spear tips, but at this time, there were still people following closely behind, and they had to get on.
Seeing the Tatar cavalry rushing towards him, even the white foam of the horse's mouth and the ugly fangs of the Mongols could be seen clearly, many of the Ming troops at this time could not resist such pressure, and they collapsed, but the soldiers of the Yong'an army still did not flinch!
In order to be bold, many people clenched their swords and guns and shouted over there, and the roars of people and horses on both sides rang out.
"Bang!"
The shield arrays of the Mongol light cavalry and the Yong'an army collided heavily, and the horses that rushed to the front were almost pierced by the glittering tips of the tiger spears, or fell to the ground, or hung on them with a miserable chirp.
At the moment of impact, the Mongols on the horse never imagined that their rush not only did not break through the shield formation of the Yong'an army in one fell swoop, but instead caused most of the people to pause after the impact, fly away from their horses under inertia, and roll forward and backward.
A Mongolian light cavalryman with a scimitar in his hand, seeing that he was about to rush to the front of Nanban, the spurs on his boots pierced the horse's abdomen more vigorously, and the horse suffered pain and ran forward even harder.
At the moment of impact, the Mongol was still fangs, he seemed to have seen a familiar scene, under the impact of himself and others, the Southern Barbarian army formation was as if it was not set up, throwing down his weapons and running in all directions!
But he didn't see what he wanted to see, but he slammed himself and couldn't help but get off the horse and fly forward.
"Oh, don't! No... Burst! ”
He kept waving his hands, and he could only watch himself get closer and closer to the spear in front of him, and finally plunged into the gun forest of the Yong'an Army, three or four spears were inserted in his body, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
The Mongol's eyes were full of horror and he howled, and suddenly another spear plunged into his neck, and several spears were drawn at the same time.
The corpse was thrown to the ground, no one cared, and the excitement in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a gray-black lifelessness.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are excellent at equestrianism, and at the moment of impact, their bodies cleverly roll over to avoid the same fate as others.
The strength of the horse's impact is too great, and the player who is close to the knife cannot resist the impact of the horse, so the Yong'an army's military formation is mainly dense.
When the enemy cavalry rushed, the warriors were shoulder to shoulder, and the rear was against the front, so that the Mongols did not hit one or two sword players, but the entire military formation, and the resistance ability reached the maximum.
After the impact, it is often necessary to engage in hand-to-hand combat, at which point the pikemen can stand behind the sword player on their own according to the situation of each armor to make up for the gap.
Of course, the tip of the spear pierced in front also had the effect of blocking the impact, and many sword players were able to stand firmly on the side of the formation because the Tartar horses were penetrated and reduced by a lot of force.
In the Mongolian rear team not far away, Ezhe's body immediately stood upright, looking at the battle situation on that side, Ezhe said in a deep voice.
"This Ming army is really a little difficult, and it's the first time I've seen the Ming army that can't be dispersed."
A commander on his side frowned and said, "Shao Khan, why don't I lead someone to surround and kill this Ming army from the flank?" ”
Ezhe waved his hand and said: "At this time, the horses waded across the glacier, and there were eight out of ten injuries, and these Ming troops were not worth it." ”
Even when they discussed, they didn't notice their name for the Yong'an Army, which changed from the original 'Southern Barbarians' to the current 'Ming Army'.
Standing on horseback and observing the battlefield, although he could see more clearly, his posture was really not good and too elegant, so he got down and rode back on his horse after standing for a long time.
Said to several commanders beside him: "Gu Deyun, you go and lead people to rush again, I still don't believe that I can't disperse!" ”
Gu Deyun just replied in a low voice: "Yes, less sweat!" ”
He rode his horse and rushed forward, and as he again separated a group of about a few hundred cavalry from the Mongols in the rear, there were less than a thousand Mongol cavalry left by Ezhe's side.
And a total of Yong'an soldiers have relied on the terrain to resist more than 2,000 Mongols with a shield array, ten times their own.
The Mongols in the rear were huddled together and became live targets for the birds, and a wave of birds shot at them, and every time a group of people turned on their backs.
"Wansheng hook, take Wansheng hook, hook the horse's leg for Lao Tzu!"
Wang Dashan stabbed a Mongolian Tartar off his horse with a shot, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly pulled out the Wansheng hook that he had been carrying on his back, and yelled backwards.
When the pikemen on standby at the rear heard the order, he immediately drew out the Wansheng hook, stepped forward in a few steps, squatted down and stretched out the front of the hook.
The Mongol cavalry rushed to the front, and in this small place, they could not retreat, they could only wield their scimitars and fight with the Yong'an soldiers, and they had already lost the impact advantage of the cavalry.
The biggest advantage of the Mongol cavalry is scimitar, light armor, and light cavalry, which come and go like the wind, and have high combat flexibility, but this time they are completely confined here.
On the other hand, the general officers of the Yong'an Army, by virtue of the terrain and the obstruction of the sword players in front, most of the pikemen could use all their skills, and the tiger spears in their hands were calmly sent into the body of the Mongols, and the attack methods were varied.
Several Mongolian cavalrymen slashed their scimitars at the half-body shield of the sword player, creating a conspicuous spark in the dark night.
A spearman struggled to stab the tiger spear forward, but this time it was not as expected, this is the Mongolian Qianfu Changgu Deyun, whose strength is greater than that of ordinary Jurchens, and he has a lot of combat experience.
This Gu Deyun avoided it with a dexterous flash on the horse, and then he shouted: "Come over to me!" ”
The big hand grabbed the spearman's tiger spear and dragged it violently, and the spearman was actually pulled out of the formation by this Gu Deyun in the formation, and even the knife player in front of him was taken out.
The Mongols suddenly roared excitedly, rushed forward, and slashed the two men into pulp.
Xiao also fully considered this situation, and the military formation was quickly blocked by the pikemen and sword players behind him, and he still stood there steadily, but this Gu Deyun still took this opportunity to break into the formation with a few Mongolian cavalry.
Several pikemen, under the leadership of their own captains, rushed forward to stop them without fear of death, but they were knocked away by the galloping horses, and the captains looked at the Tartar commanders in front of them through gritted teeth.
He took out the invincible bamboo general, aimed at the commander of the thousand and was about to ignite the fuse, when a Mongolian cavalryman rushed from behind, and the scimitar slashed across the back of the commander.
Although he was protected by iron armor, it was not a big problem, but the armor commander was still carried to the ground by the horse, and when he got up, he saw the Mongol rushing into the dark night and disappeared.
These Mongols were blocked there, and they had been holding back their strength for a long time, and at this time, they were even more red-eyed and yelling.
Gu Deyun yelled: "Hahaha, kill, kill all these southern barbarians for Lao Tzu!" ”
Left slash and suddenly, with the faster and faster horse momentum, Gu Deyun and his party went straight to the bird gunners in the rear, and the pikemen who blocked the road were all slashed to the ground by their knives.
