Chapter Seventy-Three: Riding a Horse
Harabal now realizes that something seems to be wrong!
Because the development of the battle situation was not as he imagined, under their impact, the Song army front quickly collapsed, compared to the Song army just now, it is obvious that the Song army soldiers and horses have been fully prepared, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to be withdrawn, otherwise it will fall like this, his follow-up cavalry will lose the space for impact, once the cavalry has no impact force, then rush into the Song army infantry formation, it is purely looking for death.

With the sound of a short horn, the Mongol cavalry that had already rushed close to the Song army's array began to circle their horses and begin to detour towards the two wings, while those cavalry who had already rushed into the Song army's formation brandished their weapons and desperately slashed the Song troops who began to surround them, trying to break away.
But how could Ma Zhong let the dozens of Mongolian cavalry who had already entered the battle retreat so easily, and immediately waved the command flag, and the two wings of the infantry army immediately began to surround it, and soon sealed the mouth and wrapped twenty or thirty Mongolian cavalry in it.
At this time, the advantage of the spear was completely revealed, no one denied that these Mongolian cavalry were very brave and good at fighting, but when they lost their impact and were surrounded in the middle, then they were nothing, and the surrounding pikemen stabbed them frantically, even if the Mongolian cavalry continued to resist with swords and shields, but they still took care of one or the other, and were soon hunted and killed in the formation.
A platoon of pikemen then moved forward again, forming a defensive line in front of the formation, their spears pointed at the Mongol cavalry in front.
Harabalsi was stunned, he could see that the morale and combat power of this Song army were far less than those of his soldiers, but he didn't expect the Song army's mobilization speed to be very fast, although they killed and injured more than 100 Song troops this time, but the losses they paid were as high as nearly 100 people, and there was a problem, their wounded soldiers could not be snatched back, they could only watch the Song army's swords and axes rush up, and they cut off the heads of these wounded soldiers who fell to the ground.
In this way, the exchange ratio between the two sides was actually closer, and it seemed to be a draw, but in essence, the losses on the Mongolian side were much heavier, because the Mongolian army not only paid for the problem of human lives, but they also had a hundred and ten war horses, which were also folded in this charge, not to mention how many Mongolians there were! With such a one-to-one exchange, the Mongols will die and the Song people will not break their muscles and bones.
So he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to retreat and prepare for the second charge, but just when he gave the order to sound the horn, the cavalry turned their horses back and broke away from the Song army's line, and heard a burst of war drums in the Song army, only to see the Song army's right wing infantry array suddenly split to both sides, revealing a passage wide enough for five horses to pass side by side, and then saw a Song cavalry suddenly rushed out of the formation, only rushing towards the Mongol army.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry was retreating, preparing to attack again, and the Song cavalry was at a very good time, and directly pursued behind the retreating cavalry of the Mongolian army.
This time, Harabarsi panicked, he didn't expect Song Jun to choose such a clever fighter, it was like a person who threw a punch, failed to defeat the enemy, and when he was withdrawing his fist back, the opponent suddenly threw a punch, making him unable to parry at all.
And the terrain here is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, and the hundreds of cavalry who retreated have no place for them to detour except for running in the direction of their own formation, so next
The wings shrink, fast! Let them withdraw from the flanks into the rear! Harabarth finally realized the danger, and hurriedly brandished his iron spear and ordered the two wings of men and horses to gather and make way for the retreating cavalry to pass.
Huang Yan raised his hand and put down the hideous iron mask on the iron helmet, and a sinister smile appeared on his face under the mask again, and he took the lead in leading the cavalry of the three hundred cavalry battalions to chase after the ass of the Mongolian cavalry.
This time, Huang Yan would not be polite to the Tartars, because all this was already in his calculations, and he expected the situation that might arise, so when he returned to the division and retreated, he ordered all his cavalry to dismount and lead the horses on foot, saving a lot of horsepower, and then after the Mongolian army appeared, he used the infantry to withstand the Mongolian army first, and after accumulating enough cavalry strength, he directly started behind the formation and began to carry out a counter-charge.
All this was calculated by Huang Yan in advance, which is equivalent to hitting the weakest place of the Mongolian army, although the Mongolian cavalry is strong, but after all, after all, there has just been a battle with Chen Yu's department, whether it is slaughter or not, after all, they consume physical strength, and the strength of the war horse is not as good as the current Song army, and the enemy general here obviously ignores the terrain factor, so let Huang Yan, the old fritter, seize the opportunity at once.
In a hurry, the Mongolian army wanted to shrink the wings at once, so that these friendly troops who retreated into the formation, the impossible task of the base, and the speed of the Song army's impact was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was a horse's head and tail, which made this group of retreating Mongolian soldiers frightened, and quickly slapped their horses to speed up and escape, some people were also very powerful, twisted their backhands on horseback and opened the bow, and shot at the Song cavalry behind, they used this unique skill to say that they really killed a lot of opponents, But today they weren't so lucky.
At such a close distance, although they could directly penetrate the bodies of the Song cavalry chasing after them with their bows and arrows, their counterattack was really a drop in the bucket for the Song army swarming behind them, even if they shot a few Song cavalry, they couldn't stop the Song army's pursuit.
The panicked Mongolian cavalry had no choice but to play their horses and run away.
Looking at these soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Harabarth's face began to change color, and the two wings did not make enough space for these cavalry to pass around, so the next group of defeated soldiers and horses could only rush into their own formation, and the result would be, Harabarth knew better than anyone else.
Bypass the wings! Fast! Harabarth shouted in a panic at the retreating cavalry, and then the Mongol cavalry in front of him also began to roar in panic.
But at this time, these Mongolian cavalry who were chased by the Song army could not take care of these! In a panic, they rushed towards their own formation.
Shoot the arrows! Those who dare to rush into battle will be killed! Block them! Hurry up Harabarth is a person who understands after all, since he can't help them, then he can only be ruthless, he immediately made a decision, and shouted at his generals.
Although these generals could not bear it, they were also aware of the critical situation, and the military discipline of the Mongolian army was very strict, they had already formed a sense of obedience to military orders, and then a large number of Mongolian troops took out their bows and arrows, and pointed their arrows at the friendly troops who were chased back in front.
Shoot the arrows! With a roar from Harabarth, hundreds of horned bows were fired at the same time, and a rain of arrows rained down on the oncoming friendly cavalry.
All they could hear was a scream and the neighing of their horses, and the horsemen fell to the ground, some of them still with their eyes open in disbelief, trying to ask their commander Harabarth why he was so ruthless, but no one would explain it to them.
Even though Harabarth was very ruthless and decisive, he promptly ordered the arrows to stop the cavalry who had fled back, and drove them out and began to retreat towards the two wings, but there were still some horses that were wounded, and the cavalry also fell off the horses, and the ownerless horses were frightened, kept their original direction, and crashed headlong into Harabarth's main formation.
Harabarth's home camp immediately began to be in turmoil.
Shuttle gun! Cast! Huang Yan took out a shuttle spear from his back, and saw that the defeated Mongolian cavalry in front of him dodged a way, directly shining the main force of the Mongolian soldiers in front of them, so he didn't chase after the defeated Mongolian soldiers at all, and directly waved his arm and threw the shuttle gun violently.
Don't look at the range of the shuttle spear is not as long as the bow of the Mongolian cavalry, but the power is not comparable to the ordinary horn bow, with the help of the speed of the war horse, the throwing distance of the shuttle spear is not less than thirty steps, and the rest of the soldiers who followed Huang Yan immediately followed him and threw the shuttle spear together.
The Mongol soldiers had not yet reacted at this time, and had just begun to set up arrows to block the oncoming Song cavalry, and the shuttle guns of the Song cavalry arrived in front of them.
Under normal circumstances, as long as a man in armor is not shot by a bow and arrow, he will not easily lose his combat effectiveness, but in front of the shuttle gun, they are not so good, after a row of shuttle guns, I saw that the soldiers in front of the Mongolian army have screamed miserably, and then they fell off the war horse like dumplings.
Look at the Song army to be unforgiving, a round of shuttle guns just shot, then immediately probed and took out another shuttle gun, without any hesitation, then once again threw it out, these guys usually do not work this matter, each arm strength is very powerful, not to give the opponent any chance at all, so that the Mongolian soldiers once again tasted the power of their shuttle guns.
Whether it is a person or a horse, as long as the middle and upper one is directly penetrated, it is impossible to resist such a kill with their armor, so as long as they take one of them, this life will be declared basically over.
Under the leadership of Huang Yan, after two rounds of shuttle guns, they crashed headlong into the main formation of the Mongolian cavalry, and the spears stabbed out one after another, and a row of unprepared Mongolian soldiers was stabbed down by them again.
Harabarth almost cried, he had never been beaten like this, these Mongol soldiers claimed to be a people on horseback, and they had no opponent in the southern and northern wars with their horsemanship, but today, they were beaten so badly by the cavalry of the Song army.
(Chapter 3, what about the red ticket in everyone's hand?) Don't tell me to tell others, in that case, Lao Han will be very unhappy, and the consequences will be very serious! If it doesn't work, just reward the two! Hehe! Please, get the tickets! )
