Chapter 463: The Price of Arrogance

After hearing the assurances of the deputy general Zhang Yucheng, Sun Chengzong's solemn face also showed a smile.

Under Zhang Yucheng's gaze, Sun Chengzong ordered loudly: "Since this is the case, then start acting...... Come to the city gate and greet the Tartar Iron Rider...... As soon as you receive the signal of the general, you will attack immediately and fight with the Tartars......"

......After a long frictional sound sounded in the city gate hole at his feet, the city gate, which had been closed for half a month, was opened for the first time. Subsequently, the elite of the 6,000 border army, armed with short swords, quickly poured out of the city gate like a flood that broke the embankment......

With revenge, meritorious service, and earning silver...... Six thousand soldiers with different ideas rushed out of the city gate at an unprecedented speed, lined up on both sides of the gate, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Tartar cavalry.

On the official road two miles away from the gate of Liaoyang City, the Tartar messenger and the two Niu Lu Zhangjing, who were walking in front of the two thousand cavalry, saw the sudden changes at the gate of Liaoyang City very clearly......

They didn't take it to heart, though.

Not only that, one of them, Niu Lu Zhangjing, directly shouted with a mocking face: "The Ming Dynasty really doesn't have a backbone...... I was so surprised to surrender to my enemies and be so happy to surrender......"

"Yes, only in the Ming Dynasty can you see such a spineless soldier. If it is put on our Houjin and put on our Houjin warriors, they will die on the battlefield and will not surrender to the enemy......" Another Niu Lu Zhangjing, with the same mocking tone, said to his colleagues around him.

The messenger who was surrounded by the two Niu Lu Zhang Jing followed closely behind, and shouted with an arrogant face: "Since these Ming officials and soldiers are so spineless. Then we are the post-gold warriors. Just use your own military might. Show the strong combat effectiveness of the iron cavalry, so that these Han troops completely shouted fear and fear at us......"

"Command all warriors to show their highest side......"

With a face full of arrogance and arrogance, the two thousand post-Jin Tieqi walked towards the city gate without the slightest concern, step by step into the encirclement prepared for them by the elite of the six thousand border army, and stepped into the ghost gate......

Surrounded by two Niu Lu Zhangjing, the commander-in-chief of the Tartars. When they were about to reach the gate of the city, the 2,000 iron horsemen lined up in four columns had all entered the encirclement prepared for them by the elite of the 6,000 border army.

Standing on the tower of the city gate, staring at the tartars on the official road, Sun Chengzong, who had not changed from beginning to end, directly appeared with a sneer on his face. The entire body also exuded a thick murderous aura outward.

After taking a deep breath, he commanded loudly......

"Vice Admiral Zhang, you can start...... Order the soldiers, start attacking ......"

"Bang bang ......" after three trumpets sounded on the city walls. The elite of the 6,000 border troops on both sides of the official road immediately took out the short knives hidden in their clothes. Then 6,000 soldiers. Like six thousand hungry wolves, they pounced fiercely on the official road, and the unguarded Tartar iron horseman......

At the same time, the city gate opened by Liaoyang City was also closed.

In the face of the sudden change in front of him, all the Tartars, including the two Niu Lu Zhangjing, were stunned. They didn't expect that the Ming officers and soldiers, who were still cowardly just now, would become hungry wolves in the blink of an eye.

When some quick-reacting Tartars subconsciously drew their sabers and let out an exclamation, wanting to block the elite of the border army that pounced on them.

It's too late for anything......

The attack distance of less than a few steps is definitely a blink of an eye for the six thousand elites who are ready to attack.

Therefore, when the Tartars on the war horse were just about to draw their sabers, the elite of the border army who pounced on them had already stabbed the sharp short knife into the belly of the nearest war horse......

The wounded war horse directly flipped the tartar on his back to the ground as if he had gone crazy.

These Tatar cavalry, although they are all well-trained warriors of the Later Jin Army. However, the moment they were overturned to the ground, they still lost their combat effectiveness in this short period of time.

The six thousand elites around the hungry wolves pounced on them, and they didn't let go of this blink of an eye.

In groups of two, or in groups of three...... With a short knife in hand, he pounced on these landed tartars......

Several elite border troops fought against a Tartar who had lost his horse at the same time, and the result was predictable.

When these frontier elites pounced on the next target, the two thousand Tartar iron cavalry had already lost more than half of them in the raid just now. However, the rest of the Tartars have fully reacted.

After pulling out the saber hanging from his waist, he rode on the back of a war horse and used his saber to condescendingly slash the elite of the border army who wanted to get close to him. However, their number is limited after all.

The elite border troops gathered around them were six times as many.

In this case, they had just finished cutting one with their sabers, and another was spread out towards them.

What's more, they are surrounded by the elite of the border army who want to eliminate them. The border soldiers on the left had just been eliminated with their sabers, and the short knives held in their hands by the border soldiers on the right had already pierced their bodies and killed them......

On a battlefield with an absolute superiority in troops, and it is a melee fight. The entire battlefield situation did not surprise Sun Chengzong, and directly showed a one-sided situation......

After the battle, the 6,000 soldiers of the border army who went out of the city, although almost 2,000 fell. However, except for more than 1,000 war horses that still neighed, the remaining Tartars and war horses, without exception, were stabbed into bloody corpses with short knives.

Faced with this result, all the garrison officers who hurried to the city wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, he focused his eyes on Sun Chengzong and waited for Sun Chengzong's next military order.

didn't let everyone wait too long, Sun Chengzong, who was also relieved, directly opened his mouth and ordered: "The whole army is there, go out of the city immediately, and prepare for the attack...... Vice General Zhang, immediately gather all the war horses outside the city, these war horses are all used by us to attack the Tartar army formation, one more, our losses will be a little less......"

On the frontal battlefield that the Houjin Tartars were about to face, the 15,000-strong Houjin Iron Cavalry, divided into two, guarded on both sides of the infantry.

As for the remaining more than 10,000 infantry of the Tartars, they were under the protection of the cavalry and were located in the middle of the military formation.

On the battlefield opposite them, almost two miles away, on the position of the Tiger and Par Army, which was half the size of the military formation.

The dense Haw Par Army is also lined up in the same formation as the Tartars. The only difference is that in the middle of the Haw Par Army's formation, in addition to the dense musketeers, there are also dense artillerymen......

In the face of the increasingly solemn atmosphere on the battlefield, the commander of the Haw Par Army, Wei Zheng, knew very well that he, armed with a large number of muskets and artillery, was very good at defending. If the Tartars take the initiative to attack themselves, then the soldiers under their command will definitely be able to inflict heavy casualties on the Tartars attacking them with the firearms in their hands.

As for the commander of the Houjin Army who stood opposite Wei Zheng, it was not impartial and coincidental, and he happened to have the opposite idea of Wei Zheng.

Because, the cavalry pays attention to the speed of the charge, and with the speed of the charge, the more than 10,000 iron cavalry under his command can really give full play to their combat effectiveness. Therefore, if you want to defeat the tiger and leopard army in front of you, you can only strike first and take the initiative to attack.

And this is exactly what Wei Zheng wants to see.

While Wei Zheng was waiting, more than 10,000 iron horsemen who were given hope by the commander of the Houjin army moved......

Eight thousand iron horsemen, with the sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth and mountains, swept towards the tiger and leopard army.

As the speed of the Tartar iron cavalry became faster and faster, the eight thousand mighty iron cavalry directly showed an unstoppable situation.

In the face of the overwhelming Tartar iron cavalry, if it is like an official general's order, his face will definitely change greatly. If you are a little less courageous, it is possible to directly abandon the troops behind you and flee for your life on the battlefield.

However, Wei Zheng's face showed a smile that surprised everyone, a comfortable smile from the heart.

Under the gaze of a pair of fanatical eyes from his subordinates, Wei Zheng ordered loudly: "Heavy artillery regiment...... As soon as the Tartars rushed into range, they would open interceptive fire to kill as many Tartars as possible. ”

"The other artillerymen are also ready to open fire. As long as the Tartars are within range of their artillery, they will fire at the commander, and do not save shells for the commander......"

"Musketeers, bombardiers, trained in peacetime, with battalions as units, each fighting ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......" Wei Zheng's order had just blurted out, and more than fifty cannons standing behind the musketeers fired.

As soon as the deafening roar sounded, the sharp whistling sound of more than fifty flowering bombs across the sky sounded over the battlefield.

As the whistling sound became farther and farther away from the Tiger and Par Army, more than fifty fiery flowering bombs had already flown over the head of the Tartar Iron Cavalry more than a mile away......

More than fifty flowering shells, although only about thirty fell into the middle of the Tartar Iron Cavalry and exploded. However, the fireballs and black smoke of more than 30 flowering shells rising from the battlefield set off a bloody storm in the middle of the dense Tartar iron horsemen.

It is certain that in the explosion of shells just now, at least hundreds of Tartar iron horsemen were overturned to the ground and trampled into piles of meat by the follow-up cavalry with horses' hooves......

Of course, such a flowering bomb is only the beginning......

When the mighty Tartar Iron Rider stepped on the corpse of his colleague and continued to charge forward. The second round of flowering bombs has followed, appearing again above their heads.

However, the reloading rate of artillery in this era was too slow after all.

The Rear Gold Iron Rider, who had already increased his speed to the extreme, had just taken five rounds of flowering bullets before rushing to a position less than three hundred paces away from the musketeers.

However, this is only the beginning of this massacre......

Three hundred paces is exactly the best range for a heavy mortar......

Seventy or eighty heavy mortars, in just one round, fired more than fifty rounds of flowering shells at the densely packed Tartar charging team......

As the Tartar Iron Rider got closer and closer, the hit rate of the flowering bullet became higher and higher...... (To be continued......)
