Chapter 606: Two Cuts
In this way, the Xuanwu army marched for several miles, and came to a flat and wide land, surrounded by fine grass, occasional bushes, and rolling hills. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When you get here, the flow of the Yuanyang River is gentle, the river is shallow, and it is easy for fast horses to cross.
The grass by the river is also soft, and the heavily loaded wheels seem to be sinking, especially those Hongyi cannons, which need to be dragged hard by livestock and manpower in order to continue to move forward, leaving long traces along the way.
In view of this, the trucks are driven farther from the shore and on solid grass.
At this time, the grassland cavalry was surrounded more tightly, the strange screams were getting louder and louder, and many rangers had already entered one or two miles, looking at their momentum, they were about to attack, and the Korean Dynasty ordered to stop the march and set up a battle array.
He formed the whole army into a phalanx, surrounded by wheelbarrows and wooden carts, and the outer edges of the carts were densely inserted to resist guns, like a hedgehog jungle erected, not only the baggage chariots and horses, but also the Mongols and the feathered cavalry, all shrunk into the formation.
That's when it was ......
"Show!"
The sound of the chirping of the gallop is like a meteor passing through the sky.
"Allah ......"
"Roar, roar, roar, ......"
The Mongols outside, suddenly roaring in unison, in groups, began to rush towards the phalanx, and ran around to threaten it.
With this arrow, it also seemed to get a signal, and the sharp sound of the beeping was one after another, and the sound of strange screams continued, and more Mongols and horses rushed from afar.
Behind the hills, in the valleys, in the woods, there were all their men and horses, and even on the other side of the river, there were a group of cavalry rushing in, and the hooves of the horses were trampling in the river. There was a loud noise, and it was quite loud.
People shouted horses neighing, and soon the Xuanwu army array, not only in the front, on both sides, and even in the rear, there were many Mongolian knights galloping, and they galloped while shouting loudly, trying to put pressure on the Xuanwu army in the formation.
South Korea, North Korea and other military personnel. Standing on a hill. Looking at the four fields, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and the so-called pressure and intimidation of these Mongols are not worth mentioning to them.
But there are too many battles. The simple method of grassland warfare has not yet been seen. Therefore, the Xuanwu army formed a phalanx, and at the same time observed, it also attracted enemy cavalry to attack. With the artillery tactics that the Jingbian army is best at, it means to give them the greatest blow.
It's just that, looking at these tartars, they are all as fine as ghosts, and I'm afraid that they won't be able to make progress.
They did not directly attack, but only rushed back and forth in small groups, making a posture of attacking, sometimes firing an arrow, in an attempt to attract the Jingbian army to open fire, or to make the formation tense and fatigued, and then they had an opportunity.
At that time, the Mongolian army used this tactic to break how many strong formations were tried.
Even if the Jingbian army is retrenched and does not move, it will not be able to enter it, but as long as they delay their march, they can achieve their own wishes.
Seeing that there were more Mongolian horsemen outside the formation, and there was quite a lot of dust in the distance, it seemed that more Mongolians were coming, and the strange screams were overwhelming, Tian Qiming frowned and said: "Could it be that this harassment, naturalized city Tartars, and dispatch ten thousand horsemen?" ā
If so, after a decisive battle is fought here, and the enemy is inflicted, then the march will be much smoother.
Lei Xianbin, the general of the middle battalion of the Xuanwu Army, Xie Shangbiao, the general of the left battalion, Tian Qiming, the general of the right battalion, Zeng Zhiyi, the general of the new attached battalion, and the Mongolian general Le Mingge under his battalion, etc., all gathered around Han Chao at this time, but it was the battle not long ago.
Lei Xianbin held the clairvoyant mirror and observed carefully, shook his head and said: "There shouldn't be so much, it seems that it is the Tartar's suspicious plan." ā
Lemeng took the opportunity to say again: "Yes, this is a kind of tactic of our Mongols, and there must be some barbarians on that side who drag branches and run around......"
He said: "And the people who ride horses are not necessarily men, there must be women, children, and even some straw men, creating the illusion of a large number of people...... The minions are sure that the surrounding barbarians are young and strong, and the total number will not exceed five thousand ......"
Han Chao's hand holding the clairvoyant mirror did not move at all, and after a long time, he put down the clairvoyant mirror and ordered: "The whole army will continue to move, especially the soldiers, and they will not fight without a military order." In each battalion, if a small group of Tartars rushes closer, the skirmishers can be shot first, and if the captives are crowded, they will be met with guns. ā
ā¦ā¦
Outside, the Tartars galloped and roared, and behind the sideways wheelbarrows, the soldiers of the Mimi Xuanwu Army stood solemnly, all of them wearing hats and helmets, and wearing protective cyan winter coats, which were half-sleeved clothing, keeping warm and not letting the sleeve robes affect the battle.
The gunners in the front row all set their flintlock pistols firmly on the cards.
Seeing the Tartars rushing outside, fierce and vicious, many people's faces couldn't help but show nervousness.
At this time, the guards around the various vehicles were the soldiers of the left and right battalions of the Xuanwu Army, they were all second-class sergeants, except for the officers, ordinary soldiers, all of them were the people of the tun forts, although there were drills on weekdays, but the real swords and guns were in battle, this was the first time.
They are still recruits, the Tartars are vicious, there are many rumors, and there is always an influence in their hearts.
Besides, the Tartars who screamed back and forth outside were indeed rude and barbaric, and the violent and ferocious meaning in their eyes made people frightened at first sight, and there were all kinds of unbelievable equestrian movements, so it was inevitable that the second-class army would be nervous.
However, the weekday training played a role, and with the first-class battalion cavalry behind, the prestige of the Jingbian Army's achievements and the hearts of the soldiers were also calm.
In particular, experienced veterans serve as grass-roots officers, playing a huge role, looking at the captain and officers in the team are calm and calm, and even have some contempt in their eyes, and the soldiers below will naturally be stable in their hearts.
"Without a military order, you must not act in vain!"
Chen Sheng, who has become an officer of the team, said in a deep voice, looking outside, the Tartars are sometimes large and sometimes small, and they gather and scatter from time to time.
Time-sharing, depending on the direction of the officer's horsewhip, at the right time, with the voice of the treacherous voice, the action is very flexible, all kinds of tactics, if deep into the bone marrow, everyone's riding skills, is also very sophisticated.
Some rangers galloped in front of the wheelbarrows, and they drew arrows with their bows, sometimes shooting an arrow, only to lure the army in the formation to open fire, and behind them, there were some archers, and then there were armored soldiers with spears, axes, ring knives, and other weapons.
Many of these people have round shields on their arms, and they also have foot bows and horn bows.
Chen Sheng thought to himself: "Northern Tartars." Or is it different from the Manchurian Tartars. ā
In Chen Sheng's feelings, most of these Mongolian Tatars wearing leather robes, it seems that riding and archery are their first method of warfare, hand-to-hand combat, but only the last, or the last resort.
The banner came from the military headquarters, and the battalions echoed one after another, and the sharpshooters of the battalion headquarters and the thousand headquarters also held their own Lu Mi guns. Or the nine-headed bird and the eagle cannon. After coming to the vehicle, they all occupied a favorable position, and seeing these marksmen couldn't help but arouse Chen Sheng's memories of the past. Originally. One of them myself.
Mongolian rangers rushing outside. It feels a little bad, I've been running for a long time, some people. They also changed horses once, and the arrows they shot often stuck in their plates, or fell behind the vehicles.
However, the Ming army on that side didn't say anything at all, only the mouth of the black hole was aimed at them.
The Jingbian Army was so calm that it made people feel frightened, and it also made many rangers feel that they were like clowns, although they performed hard, but the audience did not react.
A wave of rangers decided to get closer.
At first, most of these Mongols who rushed around the car formation were running a hundred paces away, after all, the sharpness of the Jingbian armaments was that many Tumuts had not seen it and had heard too much, so they were naturally cautious.
In the current situation, only by rushing closer can the Ming army on that side be stimulated.
The wave of rangers had just rushed fifty paces, and at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a thick cloud of white smoke exploded behind a wheelbarrow.
The neighing of the horses, the two Mongol rangers, howling and falling off their horses, rolled all over the ground, their horses, also covered in blood, neighed and fled.
But it was a nine-headed bird, and fired a shotgun at them, and although the rangers spread widely, two of them were killed.
There was another loud bang, a ball of fire came out, and another ranger was hit by an eagle cannon, and his body was blurred with flesh and blood, and he was almost beaten in two.
The sound of guns came and went, and the sharpshooters of the Jingbian Army behind the car formation kept pulling the Lumi guns, or the board machine of the nine-headed bird and the eagle cannon, and the clouds of white smoke rose into the air, and the screams continued, and many Mongolian rangers were hundreds of paces away, and there were also those who were shot from time to time.
However, the sound of the gun seemed to ignite the prelude to the attack of the Outer Mongolian cavalry, and in the direction of Chen Sheng, a wolf flag was suddenly raised high.
The roar was everywhere, and many Mongolians raised their knives and spears in their hands, and roared in unison, and the surrounding Mongols also rushed to gather around the wolf flag, faintly forming a fish-scale formation.
"Allah ......"
Soon, hundreds of horsemen on the left flank of the formation, they let out a very shocking roar, launched a charge without hesitation, and soon rushed into a hundred paces, each with a horn bow in hand, and then accelerated even more, and was about to be forty or fifty paces away, with the speed of the horse to shoot.
However, at this moment, the sound of a swan sounded, and behind the wheelbarrow in this direction, at least hundreds of flintlock muskets, a fierce salvo, the sound of displacement, and the dense rising smoke, there was a scream, many Mongols fell off their horses, and the neighing of horses.
The neat salvo of Jingbian arms, coupled with the small rate of mute fire, was unimaginable, and these Mongols died before they could attack with their horses.
This Mongolian cavalry crossed in front of the formation, but then, another Mongolian cavalry rushed up, and it seemed to recognize this piece.
Han Chao put down the clairvoyant mirror and thought, "The art of cavalry encirclement? ā
Looking at the teams of Mongolian cavalry, riding horses and rushing in the middle of the formation, with a strange roar, the momentum is not small, and even the attention of many people in the military formation is attracted by that side.
However, Han Chao knew that this was a tactic of the Mongols, and they attacked one corner, although the attack was fierce and powerful, but the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and it was often on the flanks and rear.
Sure enough, Han Chao saw that many Mongolian cavalry had secretly outflanked the left and right, and even on the other side of the river, many cavalry gathered.
He shouted, "Tell the generals, pay attention to their respective lines." ā
There was another burst of guns, and the guns in Chen Sheng's team, along with the soldiers on the left and right, launched another volley, and more Mongolian horses screamed and fell, but these Mongolian cavalry also shot arrows in waves, and some of them were hit by arrows.
But they had good armor protection and were wounded at most, and the Mongols on the opposite side, if they were hit by a bullet, generally could not survive.
And after pulling the plate machine, these second-class soldiers also grew up quickly, and the more they fought, the more comfortable they became.
Seeing that the side has suffered heavy casualties, the wolf flag side also seems to be quite anxious, but they think that the attention of the Ming army. should have been attracted to this side, and suddenly outside the formation, there was a strange sound, and all kinds of weird whistles rang out in all directions.
The Mongol cavalry roared, and the front and both wings of the opposing formation launched an attack at the same time, shouting that the sky was shattered, and the momentum was violent.
Around the phalanx, the sound of guns burst out one after another. Smoggy. The fighting suddenly became fierce.
However, to the disappointment of the Mongols, the Jingbian army was tightly formed, and the previous tactics did not seem to have any effect on them. Listen to them wave after wave. Lots of warriors. screamed and fell under their birds.
Why is this, Genghis Khan used this method of warfare. How many formations have you broken?
On the other side of the river, there was a sudden series of loud sounds, and some of the Mongolian cavalry coming from the other side of the river were knocked over in the river by the platoon, groaning helplessly, and the fierce fire of the Jingbian army hit the hearts of these Mongolian cavalry, and their attack line was chaotic.
Many people left the range of the bird guns and spun around outside the phalanx at a loss.
On the right flank of the phalanx, a wave of Mongolian horsemen took advantage of the bird's bell to rest, and dismounted, they hung regimental cards on their arms, each holding their own bow in their hands, an officer drew a long arrow, but it was a ringing arrow, he stood on his feet, his steps were wide and his waist squatted, and he suddenly pulled the bow and shot it.
"Show ......"
The sharp sound of the ringing arrow, the sound of the arrow, pierced the throat of a Jingbian soldier, and he staggered backwards and fell out.
"Hoo ......"
The arrows were as dense as rain, and these dismounted Mongols then shot arrows in the direction of Mingdi, and they shot extremely fast, wave after wave, or the same range, under the fierce rain of arrows, many gunners on this side were shot to the ground.
These heavy arrows were very penetrating, and they were wounded, and some were even killed.
However, under the organization of the officers, they still reacted quickly, concentrated their firepower, and fired a round of bird guns, and in the thick white smoke, the fire behind the wheelbarrow seemed to be connected, and at the same time, a Hongyi cannon was pushed, making a deafening cannon sound.
Countless blood mist rose, many debris flew on the grass, and the spray of shotguns and lead bullets made the screams of this area earth-shattering, and the foot shooting Mongols gathered here either rolled on the ground with a blur of flesh and blood, or fled with a howl of rolling and crawling......
Lemeng and other Mongols gathered in the array, all of them didn't know what the look on their faces, if it wasn't for the fear of the sharpness of the Jingbian army's guns, they would not have submitted to Wang Dou, but every time they saw the Jingbian army's guns, they were still shocked.
ā¦ā¦
Mengqi attacked and harassed, came and went quickly, and soon with a roar, the tide dispersed.
The nomads on the steppe, when they can't take advantage, generally do not attack hard, especially when various attack tactics are exhausted.
The phalanx in front of them was clearly a hard bone, so they were not interested in filling in human lives again.
Han Chao stood on the top of the hill, looking at the dead and wounded people and horses on all sides, with a still expression on his face.
He held up the clairvoyant mirror, looked at it for a long time, and then ordered: "Concentrate the artillery and aim it at that side to bombard." ā
ā¦ā¦
The wolf flag was rolled up again, but in this vicinity, the sentinels came and went, and they were constantly ordered to contact somewhere in the rear and exchange the battle situation.
Around, there were some Mongolian cavalry gatherings, and the attack of Fang Cai made them tired, and many of them sat on the ground, drinking water and resting, eating some dry food, while looking at the military formation two miles away with hateful eyes.
Several leaders are debating whether to retreat immediately, or to stay in the area and harass.
In the end, one opinion prevailed: "...... We already know that we can't do anything about their formation...... But can they keep going like this? They must move, as long as they don't form a formation, there is always a way to deal with them......"
"In the future, they are in formation, we don't move, they don't line up, we move again, their cavalry is not as flexible as us, and the birds can't hit it, far away, how can they take me and wait? ā¦ā¦ Hmph, hateful tortoise army......"
He sat on the ground, talking loudly as he took out his skin and grunted to drink.
At this moment, a cannon was suddenly heard, and everyone was startled, and the man did not even look at it, and saw a cannonball, with a trail of smoke in the air, coming towards him.
His eyes widened, and suddenly, a hoarse howl came out of his mouth.
There was a loud bang, the stumps and fragments of armor were scattered, and half of the person's body was taken away alive by five catties of cannons, and only the lower half of his body sat on the ground. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
