Chapter Seventy-Two: The Gun Forest
The whoosh immediately filled everyone's ears, and the Mongol cavalry began to fire arrows at the same time, and the arrows of both sides staggered through the air and spilled into the enemy's array. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one went to see the person who was hit by the arrow and screamed, the archer immediately put on an arrow and aimed it at the front, this round of shooting, the Song army still suffered a loss in the end, the Mongolian cavalry is a moving target, it is not easy to shoot, and they all have iron armor, even if it is an arrow, it may not be able to kill them, even if they are injured, most of them are only minor injuries, only the unlucky ones are shot in the neck or the nail crack and face, it will cause heavy damage and fall off the horse, although the Song army has many archers, but only shot down less than ten Mongolian cavalry, However, the archers on the side of the Song army were stunned by the arrows shot by a few Mongol soldiers and knocked down more than a dozen people, and the exchange ratio reached two to one.
The Song officers were also nervous, and gave the order to fire three times in a row, asking the archers to shoot three arrows in a row, and then they immediately turned around and rushed back to the rear under Ma Zhong's orders, and the pikemen left gaps every other section for these archers to pass quickly, without breaking into the ranks of the pikemen.
After the archers quickly entered the rear column, they immediately lined up behind the sword and axe men, and immediately opened their bows again, pointed the arrows in the direction of forty-five degrees, and began to fire a salvo again, so as to intercept the follow-up cavalry charge of the Mongol army.
And those pikemen immediately roared in unison, strode forward, and at the same time put down the spears in their hands, pointing in the direction of the Mongolian cavalry rushing, the second row of pikemen also gained enough space, and immediately put down the spears in their hands, but slightly raised some angles, just so that the tip of the spear pointed to the position of the cavalry's chest, the third row of pikemen were ready, and the Song army shouted in unison under the leadership of Ma Zhong in order to boost morale.
Looking at the gun forest in front, the Mongolian cavalry did not mean to slow down at all, the cavalry who rushed to the front clenched the weapons in their hands, they knew their duties very well, even if they rushed over and were stabbed to death by spears, they could not avoid or pull the horses without authorization, otherwise it would affect the impact of the follow-up cavalry, so the only thing they had to do was to break through the spear defense line of the Song army even if they died.
At the moment when they were about to rush into the forest of guns, the Mongol cavalry who rushed to the front row waved their weapons at the same time, trying to swing the spears in front of them and grab a passage for themselves and their horses. 6
But today they were very unlucky, most of them were not able to swing the spear in front of them, and then they were stabbed by people and horses, under the huge impact of the war horse, no one was spared, the armor on their bodies was like paper paste, and the sharp tip of the spear was instantly penetrated, piercing into the body of the war horse or person.
In the midst of a scream, the Mongol soldiers at the front fell under their horses, but they also used their flesh and blood to immediately tear through the first line of defense of the pikemen.
The pikemen are very difficult to do, under such an impact, even if they stabbed the oncoming Mongolian cavalry, but before the other party died, they still maintained a huge impact, and they crashed into them, and many of the pikemen in the first row flew out upside down, and they fell to the ground with broken tendons and blood spitting out, and some people were even knocked into the air and pierced directly on the tips of the spearmen in the back row.
Under the impact of these Mongol soldiers, the neat Song army line suddenly began to sink into the middle, and the Mongolian cavalry immediately behind took the opportunity to break through the line of the first pikemen, brandishing the weapons in their hands, and frantically greeted the Song army pikemen around them, and many pikemen were immediately killed in the formation.
The pikeman's repulsion rifle is a long one-and-two-foot long, and although it is good against cavalry, once the cavalry is close, they are a bunch of lambs to the slaughter, and this kind of spear is very inconvenient to use, and it is impossible to fight the enemy in close combat.
Although the Mongol cavalry paid some price, they also brought more death to the oncoming Song army, and the first line of spears only lasted less than a minute before it was declared broken by the Mongol cavalry.
But the Mongol cavalry did not be happy for long, they had just broken through the first line of defense of the Song army, the second pikemen roared fiercely, raised their guns and stabbed forward, and the Mongol cavalry who had just rushed into the Song army's formation was immediately stabbed down by the second line of spears.
The screams have already filled the entire battlefield at this time, except for Huang Yan's headquarters cavalry, the Song army is all nervous and abnormal, today is the time to test their practice of this kind of gun array during this time, now it seems that the effect is really good, although the first gun forest was broken through by the Mongolian soldiers, but the Song army also gave the Mongolian cavalry a lot of damage, compared to their previous gun array, this three-layer defense line is obviously much stronger.
And what made the Mongols unhappy was that the sky was still falling arrows, so that they had to raise their shields to cover their heads, but as long as they charged, they had to face the tip of the spear in front of them, and they could not take care of their chest and abdomen, and if they were not careful, they would be hit by arrows or shots, which made their offensive suddenly chaotic.
However, the Mongol cavalry was very disciplined in the end, and even so, they still accelerated their charge, continued to rush to the second gun array, and quickly broke through the second gun forest and broke into the third gun forest with their lives.
The Mongol soldiers on horseback were also desperate, the first two gun formations had already cost them dozens of people, but they didn't expect that there was another gun forest on the opposite side, and at this time their speed had begun to be slowed down, and the impact force was far less than when attacking the first gun forest.
The spearmen of the Song army in the third gun forest saw the Mongolian cavalry break through the second gun forest, and then in the roar of the officer, he took a step mechanically, and stabbed at the Mongolian soldiers on the opposite side with a roar of spears.
Huang Yan nodded with satisfaction, it was not easy for the Canzhou soldiers to do this, although they could not meet his requirements, and their morale was a little low, but they still delayed the impact of the Mongolian army.
Seeing this, he immediately picked up his gun and turned on his horse, and shouted to the cavalrymen under him: "Wait for the horse!" The cavalry battalion will attack with the general!
The cavalry of the three hundred cavalry battalions immediately shouted loudly: Kill! Immediately, they all jumped on their horses, and as Huang Yan clapped their horses and charged, the cavalry of these cavalry battalions immediately rushed forward with Huang Yan.
