Chapter 316: The Collapsed Mongol Cavalry

Looking at the Ming soldiers who were killed from the jungle, the Mongolian cavalry who were driving and capturing the people were stunned, in their thinking, there was no Ming army that dared to resist and go out of the city to fight!

Even if the Ming Dynasty has always boasted that they are on the front line of Xuanda, stationed more than 300,000 troops, but among them, there is not even a soldier and horse who dares to go out of the city to fight in the field!

Therefore, in this case, they even dared to attack the edge of the city where the heavy troops were stationed when there were only a hundred people, captured those people and livestock, and showed off their strength under the gaze of the Ming army on the city, leisurely and rampantly raging, but they were not worried about the possible attack of the Ming army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because the backbone of the Ming army has been broken in countless defeats!

As the Ming official army, the most elite Liaodong Guanning Iron Cavalry, against the Manchurian Eight Banners, are repeatedly defeated, losing the city and losing the land, and the inferior Xuanda soldiers and horses, not to mention, at this moment the Xuanfu has 68,000 horses, and there are as many as 140,000 soldiers, but they let the Tartar soldiers wreak havoc on the place, only close the city gate, and do not send a soldier to rescue all places.

It can be seen that the Ming army was frightened and bold. Things, at all, are useless, so it also led to the contempt of the Manchurian Tartars and the Mongol Tartars for the Ming Dynasty.

But when the cavalry of the beggar army, which is 1,500 people, appeared in front of them, and the courage to launch an attack, the spirit of courage and courage to move forward without hesitation, in an instant, frightened them, but anyone who brought a brain into the pass, never dreamed that they could actually meet the main force of the Ming army counterattacking on the front line of Xuanda.

Yes! Their first reaction when they encountered this Ming army was to encounter the main force of the Ming army, because it was rare for the Ming army with 1,500 cavalry, even in Liaodong, they had to deal with it carefully, because the Ming army that dared to fight was almost all family troops, these people were not easy to deal with, once they rushed up, it was a bitter battle, and even, the same number of Manchurian Eight Banners, may not dare to say that they are sure to win!

"Go up and kill all these southern barbarians!"

At this time, most of the Manchurian Niulu were composed of 200 people, which were divided into five Bashiku, each leading the army of thirty or forty people, and finally gathered into a full number of Niulu.

Sakhri is one of the surnames of Zhenghongqi, and he has three Xiao riding schools and six white armor and more than 60 armors, but because there are too many surrounding villages, he wants to loot more money and food, so he divided two Xiao riding schools with three white armors, and more than ten armors went to the right to rob.

But even so, Suo Litai is still unwilling to retreat, he arrogantly believes that all the elite of Manchuria, all of them are one as ten, since entering the customs, all the Ming troops encountered are in the city as a shrinking turtle, even if some are alone, they dare not come to the battle.

Therefore, this kind of passive avoidance of battle and the Ming army that was about to collapse at the touch of a button was not taken into his eyes at all, and even at this moment, he still used the Jurchen soldiers as a hundred, not only did not retreat immediately, but also commanded the cavalry under his command to rush up, ready to defeat the Ming army in front of him in one fell swoop.

On the battlefield, if there is not enough information to support it, and if you fight rashly, nine times out of ten, you will lose the battle.

And the Jurchens' troop strength information and follow-up reinforcements were all mastered by the Ming army, and they were also targeted at it, while the Jurchens were carried away by a series of victories, first of all, the combat effectiveness and quantity of the beggar army cavalry were misestimated.

In Solita's view, this Ming army should be a certain southern barbarian general, stimulated, with the main force of the family to try to mix some credit, this kind of troops, he has encountered a lot, although the combat effectiveness is not weak, but there is no determination to fight to the death, because the family is the most important guarantee for the survival of the general, so after suffering losses, the general will generally flee.

Therefore, as long as the Jurchen and Mongol soldiers can kill and injure some soldiers of the Ming army on the opposite side in the first wave of blows, then the battle is over, because the opposite side has all run!

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, only the Jurchens would calculate the combat effectiveness of the two sides in this way, not to mention, whether it was in Liaodong or under the city of Gyeonggi, they all thought like this, and they all did this, the most bizarre thing was that they all won!

This is doomed, the decadence of the Ming army is not a day or two, the essence of the Ming Dynasty's external strength and middle cadres has been thoroughly explored, and even now, less than fifty true Jurchens, with two hundred Mongolian cavalry and a hundred or so Aha, did not even have an array line, and directly divided into three groups, and directly launched a hedge in the direction of the attack of the beggar army.

I have to say that the ignorant are fearless, and the current Jurchens are like this, at least, they think they are invincible.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhao Pu didn't care whether the other side was invulnerable or not, anyway, after entering the firing range, the two hundred Mongolian cavalry behind him were throwing long-distance shots on horseback, and he originally had some scruples, for fear of hurting his own people, but now, those Tartar soldiers actually dared to turn back to fight, which made him happy.

"Ah~"

"Help me!"

The Mongolian Tatars are not as arrogant as the Jurchens, when they saw the opposite side throwing at the first time, they knew that things were going to be bad, this was clearly the way their army played, throwing at a long distance, disrupting the opponent's formation, they were originally redone, and now they couldn't bear it when they were shot like this by the other party.

Two hundred arrows, at this distance, and then one or two rounds are also possible, as the most critical attack method of the Mongolian cavalry, this kind of projectile once made the Ming army suffer, because their armor, most of them are cotton armor used to make up the number, or even no armor, so when dealing with the Mongolian army, the opponent does not dare to rush, victory does not dare to chase, this kind of kite flying tactics, is not ordinary people can deal with!

And the Mongol army, when facing the Jurchen Tartars, suddenly failed, because the armor of the Jurchens was injured in more than ten places and was unharmed, and the protective equipment was much better than that of the Ming army.

But now, equipped with the bows and crossbows of the beggar army, and the arrows made of pig iron, at a distance of fifty or sixty paces, against the Jurchen soldiers wearing heavy armor, they are extremely deadly, not to mention the lightly armed Mongolian cavalry wearing animal skins.

The Mongols don't have the good discipline and organization of the Jurchens, and if they can take advantage, they will continue to fight, and if they suffer, then they will run! Anyway, in these years, whoever has a big fist can be the king, and the Mongols can't afford to die for the Jurchens, not to mention that at the moment, they will die if they fight hard, and there may be a way to survive if they escape.

Under such thoughts, some of the Mongol cavalry suddenly deserted, and the smart ones began to prepare to retreat directly from the two flanks, and the stunned continued to implement their own tactics, hanging from a distance and constantly shooting bows and arrows to attack the cavalry of the beggar army.

But what made them dumbfounded was that the cavalry of this group of beggar troops, whether it was the body or the key parts of the war horse, were well protected, their bows and arrows that could not pierce armor could not break the opponent's defense at all, and after a round of counterattack, no one on the opposite side was shot off the horse, which made them frightened, no one could bear unilateral losses, and the opposite side was not injured.

"The Mongolian cavalry is vulnerable, shoot again, kill!"

Zhao Pu was stunned when he saw the Mongolian cavalry who turned their horses' heads one after another and began to flee, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, this is the Mongolian Tartar that blows its gods? It was so easy to fight, so he was even more courageous, and his soldiers and horses were also demoralized at the same time, and they began to increase their horsepower and rush towards the Mongolian phalanx.

At this moment, the Mongolian cavalry group was at a loss, originally their tactics decided to fly kites instead of engaging head-on, but now the Ming army on the opposite side is wearing heavy armor, doing the same thing as them, and is also divided into left and right flanks to outflank, constantly placing arrows in the distance to kill them, and their bows and arrows cannot shoot the opposite side.

As a result, the Mongols, who were not as strong as the Jurchen soldiers in terms of organization and tenacity, collapsed, and collapsed on the battlefield so easily, they never looked back to fight the beggar army, but fled with all their hearts, and their lives were important, and in fact they fought until now, but in a few moments, their losses were only about twenty, but defeat was defeat.

The Jurchens who watched all this were angry, and they all had the heart to put them to justice, but now, they were also too busy to take care of themselves, because the beggar army and iron cavalry in front of them also rushed up, but fortunately, the bows and arrows and armor of the Jurchens were much better than those of the Mongols.

"Let these Southern Barbarians see how powerful we are!"

Saihe roared too hard, and then took out a heavy arrow from behind him, and shot one with his bow, but it was relatively bumpy on horseback, and the Jurchens, as a jungle people, did not have this kind of technique of throwing on horseback, so he had to stop first and shoot the arrow in a stationary environment, so as to ensure the hit.

The same is true of the forty or so Jurchen soldiers around him, this is the tactic they are used to, because the Ming army on the opposite side will collapse directly under their almost every blow, instead of rushing up to take over the melee combat.

However, this time, they were destined to capsize in the gutter, and although their heavy arrows could shoot through the armor worn by the beggars, they would also suffer from the firecrackers from the beggars.

The first wave of more than forty heavy arrows, like flying locusts, pierced into the horse team of the beggar army, bringing a bloody rain, the Jurchens' bow and arrow technology, not blowing, this wave, there were twelve or thirteen beggar soldiers were hit by arrows, the huge impact force, so that they could not hold the horse rope tightly, and their bodies could not stop falling from the horses.
