Chapter 619: Life Harvest
When the butcher's knife of death is brought to the heads of humans, regardless of whether the gods of the heavens exist or not, the damned will always die, and there is no room for maneuver. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The churning horses are like dragons in the water, and the killing firearms spray iron sand without death.
"Bang" The musket in the hand of a soldier exploded because it was used too frequently.
One of the obvious weaknesses of the firearms of this era was that due to the low level of iron smelting technology, this type of musket was very easy to explode. Especially when heated, it's a small powder keg.
Half of the soldier's face was blown to the ground, and it happened that Meng Fu was next to this soldier, he immediately discovered the situation, and after glancing at the situation on the battlefield, he very decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army.
The 30,000 men and horses of the vanguard quickly returned after hearing the sound of the explosion of the earth's mines, and when they returned, the battlefield was full of dead corpses except for their comrades who were cleaning up the corpses of the Paozawa brothers.
Tu Hu was lucky, and at the same time he was also unlucky.
He was lucky because he was protected by several guards and did not die in the explosion. He said that he was unfortunate because a piece of shrapnel cut off half of his ear.
At this time, he no longer cared about whether he was injured or not, and the first thing he did was to order his team to quickly integrate and leave quickly.
The sound of galloping horses' hooves alerted Tu Hu, who immediately took the clairvoyant mirror from his men and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw those in Tartar costumes.
It's your own people who came, so there's no need to flee in a hurry.
With these 30,000 horses, plus the remaining 30,000 horses, even if it is a tired army, it is enough to fight the Ming army.
Soon, the living man and the living war horse were on horseback, and they retreated towards their own retreat.
If he still chooses to attack at this time, then Tu Hu's head will be kicked by a donkey. He didn't think that Wang Zhou and Ma Xuan would let him go so easily, let alone that the Ming army, who regarded himself as a thorn in the flesh, would let him go.
Since there are ambushes in this place, no matter how many ambushes there are, it is enough to prove the unreliability of those two allies.
Now he has no choice but to gather the troops on the left and right flanks and withdraw as soon as possible.
However, the news came from the front that an army of about 20,000 horses was rapidly approaching this side.
Tu Hu's heart jumped, and he asked regardless of his identity: "Who is here?" ”
"These people are wearing their own clothes, and their subordinates don't know who these people are, they may be our reinforcements." ”
Tu Hu pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any traces of battle?" ”
The tanma 1510 said: "Back to the Great Khan, these people don't have any traces of battle on them. ”
Tu Hu secretly said that it was not good, since there were no traces of battle, it was possible that it was not his own person.
He immediately ordered everyone to be ready for battle, unsheath their scimitars, and prepare for the attack.
Soon, a thin black line appeared in my eyes, and immediately after, I saw the flagpole hanging the Daming Dragon Flag moving quickly towards this side.
Tu Hu raised his scimitar: "Sons, kill with me!" ”
If you want to be an excellent commander, you must have the courage to take the lead, especially this kind of army that has experienced a defeat, and it needs the courage of the commander.
If even the main general is timid, then the people below will definitely not have any combat effectiveness.
Tu Hu's instigation really raised the morale of those people, and soon, Tu Hu led people to meet them.
"Batu Mengke, you give back my eldest brother's life." The first horse wielded a scimitar, his face was hideous, and the speed of the war horse was a little faster than that of the people behind.
"Huh?" Hearing the shout, Tu Hu lost his mind for a moment, and then he saw a face that made him feel strange.
"Take off and don't spend!" Four words blurted out.
Didn't this detachment leave with the wild fowl? Why did he show up here with 20,000 people? Could it be that they led their troops to attack Xinhekou before, and the wild fowl was killed in the battle?
A series of questions appeared in Tu Hu's heart.
However, there was no time to think about it at this time, because there were already cavalry against the other side.
The sharpness of the scimitar is not used to compare with the saber, but compared with the scimitar, the advantage of the weapon can be brought into full play.
20,000 and 60,000 people were mixed up, and at first, Tu Hu's men couldn't tell who was a friend and who was an enemy.
Later, as more and more of their men and horses died, they found the clues.
It turned out that the arms of this cavalry were wrapped with white ropes.
If they don't distinguish carefully, they can't see this rope at all, and after careful identification, they understand why the enemy can kill their comrades accurately.
Detachment does not take the opportunity to come with anger, and it is naturally brave at first, but after persisting for a while, the advantages and disadvantages become very obvious.
There are more soldiers under Tuhu's command than there are no people who don't spend money.
The soldiers under Tu Hu's command are more elite than the men and horses who don't spend money.
From time to time, there were shouts of killing, and from time to time, the wails were also heard, but compared to the shouts of killing, the wails were almost negligible.
Meng Fu wiped a handful of cold sweat, and he naturally heard the voice behind him, if he hadn't taken a remote and difficult road, he was afraid that he would have been up to the top of the people.
Meng Fu, who was observing the situation with a clairvoyant mirror on a small hill, observed while pondering, if the people and horses who had taken off the flowers could cause mass casualties to Tu Hu's troops, he would definitely not mind killing another one.
On the other side, Wang Zhou led 50,000 people to drag Tuhu's 70,000 left-wing men, and he was very clever not to engage directly, but chose to intercept them.
A hundred miles of grassland, countless horse traps are on the road, and inside the pits are bamboo thorns inserted upside down in the soil. As long as a person falls into it, there is basically no way to live.
In desperation, the right-wing Tatar commander Cricks could only clear the barricades with a small force.
As a result, their march was slowed down considerably.
However, Ma Xuan had a lot of trouble on his side, although they were more numerous than Wang Zhou, most of these border troops were not good at riding and shooting, and using foot soldiers to deal with cavalry could not cause effective lethality at all.
In just one hour of fighting, Ma Xuan's troops had lost nearly 20,000 men, while the Tatar right-wing men and horses had lost only seven or eight thousand.
This kind of battle damage is something that Ma Xuan can't afford no matter what, and he is furious in the General Soldier's Mansion, but unfortunately, no one can help him solve the problem in front of him.
Although he used to be the commander-in-chief of Datong, every time he fought, he did not personally command, and the attack of a small group of men and horses only needed one thousand households to solve the problem.
However, now, it is necessary for him to personally command, and he is out of order.
The man who had been following him and had been silent suddenly said: "Give me the military power, if you continue like this, these 100,000 border troops will die in battle." ”
