Chapter 80: Rushing into Battle

The centurion who took the lead was a very lucky fellow, after three rounds of artillery fire, he was not shot, but this constant roar frightened the horse under his crotch, and the startled horse no longer listened to its master's control, and jumped wildly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I have to admire the superb riding skills of the Mongolian cavalry, many of the horses were frightened by the loud roar, but their owners were rarely lifted off the horses, these cavalry out of instinct, bowed down, like kraft candy stuck to the horse's back, no matter how the horses jumped, they could not lift them down.

However, although they rode very well, many of them had to lose their weapons because of the sudden change, and suddenly most of the Mongol cavalry lost their hard bows and became bare-handed.

After three rounds of artillery fire in a row, the Mongol cavalry's offensive collapsed, and a large number of Mongol cavalry desperately controlled their mounts, and then turned their horses and retreated in the direction of their own formation.

What a pity! Get any closer, and you'll be able to use a scattershot! Gao Huaiyuan clenched his fists regretfully, and muttered quietly in his mouth.

The losses caused by these rounds of shelling to the Mongolian cavalry were not large, at most twenty or thirty Mongolian soldiers fell off their horses, for five hundred cavalry, such losses were completely bearable, but such a roar frightened the courage of these Mongolian soldiers, so that they chose to turn around and flee.

Liu Desheng, who was in charge of leading the cavalry, came to Gao Huaiyuan's back with a horse, hugged his fists and asked Gao Huaiyuan for his life: Handsome! Do we need to rush out and chase the Tartars?

No need, the Tartars haven't been defeated yet, you cavalry rush out, once they get their reaction, they will be given in vain! Stand down and be ordered! Gao Huaiyuan didn't look back and ordered.

Liu Desheng hurriedly nodded in agreement and retreated into the cavalry queue, but he still felt a little pity, if the Mongol soldiers retreated just now, they would immediately launch a charge, maybe they could defeat the other party!

Batu finally put his chin in place, closed his mouth, and quickly wiped the saliva from his chin and beard, and ordered the retreating generals to be immediately regrouped behind the formation.

This kind of thing is too shocking, Batu finally knows why Nahai was defeated so badly last time, if he didn't send five hundred people to attack just now, but the whole army pressed up, then at this time he may be the same as Nahai, to flee with his tail between his legs, the Song army will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and will definitely send cavalry to chase after him to cover up, then he will be finished.

General, the Song army has sharp weapons, this battle is not easy to fight! A frightened centurion immediately said to Batu.

If it's not good to fight, you have to fight! The king has an order that we must repel this Song army, so that he can lead his army to attack the other Song army with all his might, and if we retreat, it will inevitably affect the king's plan! Even if we escape back, we will inevitably be pushed out of the big tent and beheaded for public display! Steady! Hold on! Batu immediately rebuked the centurion.

He knew very well what his mission was today, and if he fled back like Nahai and Hailasu, then this time he would definitely not forgive him again.

It can be said that in order to defeat this Song army, Tuo Lei has handed over the most elite cavalry under his command to him, if he fails, then the next battle of Tuo Lei will be over.

Don't be afraid! The general has already seen it, although the firearms of the Song army are very sharp, but they are not enough, we have only lost twenty or thirty soldiers, and they are not so powerful! Beggar Yan, this general ordered you to take the 300 cavalry of the headquarters to fight, avoid the front of the enemy, and attack the right flank of the enemy, as long as you first crush the right flank of the enemy army and circle it, you can drive the Song army into the Bailong River! Batu was not stupid either, and immediately saw that although the enemy's firearms were extremely sharp, they did not kill and wound a large number of his cavalry, even if he defeated his first charge this time, most of the cavalry still escaped, and the loss could be said to be not large, so he was also a little relieved, and felt that he still had a lot to do.

The centurion who had been called Beggar immediately went out of the ranks, and with a shout, he brought out his cavalry and began to assemble again in front of the battle.

The momentum of these cavalry was not as good as just now, and everyone was startled by the terrible weapon of the Song army, but they were accustomed to obeying orders, and they still went out of battle without hesitation and began to make preparations.

Warriors of the Great Khan, don't be afraid of the fire-breathing stuff of the Han Chinese, they are no big deal, follow me to defeat them! Let them know that a few tricks alone can't defeat our Mongolian warriors! Beggar rode his horse and ran back and forth in front of his soldiers, constantly waving the horse lance in his hand, and cheering his soldiers loudly.

This beggar is also a fierce general, and the horse lance in his hand is the capture after killing a general of the Jin army, otherwise few people in the Mongol army use such expensive weapons.

After listening to the shouts of the beggars, the soldiers and horses under his command calmed down a little, and they raised their arms and shouted: Great Khan! Sweat

Rush with me! As soon as Qi Yan shook his horse's head, he rushed out first, and the soldiers behind him immediately slapped their horses one after another, and followed Qi Yan to rush towards the direction of the Song army's large array.

The reason why the Mongolian Tatars can dominate the world and rarely encounter opponents is that the courage of their soldiers is really commendable! Gao Huaiyuan pointed at the Mongolian cavalry who had begun to attack again with his horsewhip, and said to the Song generals beside him.

The generals nodded in agreement, in terms of bravery, it is true that most of the Song army is not as good as these Tartar soldiers, no one doubts this, only Gao Huaiyuan's pro-army has slightly pursed the corners of their mouths, expressing their resentment, the Tartars dare to fight, they are not vegetarians, the last time they followed Gao Huaiyuan, they didn't defeat the Mongolian Tartars in Jizhou City?

Handsome! It seems that the Tartars want to strike at the right flank of our army this time! Just when Gao Huaiyuan praised the courage of the Tartar soldiers to the generals, Li Ruohu, who was standing beside him and leading the horse for him, pointed to the Mongolian army and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Well! I see it! Signal Xing Fang, re-aim, strike the enemy from the flank, and disrupt their attack! The right flank crossbowmen prepare! Gao Huaiyuan didn't mean to be nervous on his face, and gave the order easily.

Yes, sir! The herald then began to wave the order flag in his hand, and soon conveyed Gao Huaiyuan's order.

Adjust the muzzle of the cannon and aim it at the right flank for 400 paces! Xing Fang immediately began to give orders to his artillery.

The gunners of each gun immediately began to operate the guns, moved their muzzles to the right of the position, and carefully aimed their guns at an open space four hundred paces away.

While galloping on his horse, Qi Yan also took off his riding bow from the saddle, took out the carved arrows in the quiver and put them on the bowstring, and kept looking sideways at the central formation of the Song army.

Only then did he see clearly what those fire-breathing guys in the central position of the Song Army looked like, and he wondered why these yellow and clear copper pipes were so powerful, they could actually breathe fire, and they could also shoot things, and even beat a strong war horse to pieces.

He kept urging the horse to speed up, secretly praying to their shaman god in his heart, hoping that he would never be hit by this terrible thing, and he also wanted to have a few more children with his mother-in-law after he went back this time! If he can break the right flank of the Song army today, then this time he has made a great achievement, and he will be promoted to a thousand-commander no matter what!

Like him, in the hearts of every Mongolian cavalryman who rode his horse and charged, he was secretly praying at this time, not to let that terrible thing be hit, so that death is not as good as being killed by an arrow or a knife by the enemy, until now a few wounded Mongolian soldiers lying between the two armies are still making a terrible wail, their blood has been flowing, everyone knows that they will definitely not survive.

Xing Fang continued to report the distance of the enemy's army, until the moment when the Mongolian cavalry was about to enter a distance of four hundred paces, the small red flag in Xing Fang's hand once again struggled to command.

As a result, the front of the Song army once again burst into the sky, and the black projectiles flew out of the flames of the muzzles as if they could be seen with the naked eye, and then crashed headlong into the flanks of the Mongolian cavalry.

The neck of a war horse happened to be hit by a projectile, and the huge horse's head flew out with flesh and blood, but the war horse did not stop immediately, but the cavalry on its back rushed forward mechanically for two steps, and then rolled and fell to the ground, and the Mongolian cavalry on his back was so good that people couldn't believe it, at the moment he landed, he actually jumped up, kicked his feet on the ground, and then galloped forward, actually maintaining his balance, and was not stuck on the solid ground.

Good riding! Awesome! Liu Desheng, as the head of the pro-army cavalry, looked at the performance of this Mongolian cavalry, and had to express his heartfelt admiration, and even some envy, he really hoped that these guys under his command would one day be like the Tartar cavalry, and their riding skills would be so powerful! .

But the other Mongolian soldiers who were shot were not so lucky, they flanked the shells of the Song army, not only did not let them avoid the shells, but increased their area of shells, but after two rounds of artillery fire, they were put down nearly forty people, and often one shell can put down four or five cavalry charging side by side in a row, which gave the Mongolian cavalry a huge shock.
