The cowardly Xue Chang Tuhuan shouted loudly: "Cowardly Xue Jun, dismount!" Array! ”

The cowardly Xue army of the four thousand people who had just arrived to accept his command turned over and dismounted, holding the spears of the horse battle and the other two thousand people who had just retreated to form an array, the front row of sharp blades protruding, and the rear row took out the stubborn sheep's horn bow.

Since it was still late at night, there were several bonfires lit on the ground, although the moonlight was shining. But the visibility can't be compared to daytime after all, and the battlefield is full of lying corpses, abandoned knives and guns, and shallow craters blown by thunder. In such a situation, it is really not a wise move to charge the battle with cavalry in the dark.

As a result, the cowardly army of the Mongol Great Khan had no choice but to abandon their best horse warfare and use the form of infantry combat to confront the Thunderbolt army - in fact, even if it was daytime, the Mongol iron cavalry on both sides of the Sichuan River, which was densely covered with mountains and rugged terrain, had little room to play. This is also the biggest weakness of Meng Ge's strategy of taking Sichuan first and then going to Jiangnan.

Dehuan, who had been fighting for a while, somewhat figured out the reality of some of the Thunderbolt Army, and he gathered the thousands of households in various teams of thousands of people. Confessed in a loud voice: "Let the warriors pull the formation apart a little more, the southern barbarian's heavenly thunder is sharp, if they get together, it won't be enough to die!" The Southern Barbarian's divine arm close-range shot is not easy to deal with......"

Speaking of which. The incomparably experienced Tu Huan also shook his head, if it was only the heavenly thunder or the divine arm close shot, he would have a way to deal with it. But when the two were combined, he couldn't think of anything.

Using a loose formation to pounce can reduce the damage of the thunder. However, a loose formation also means that there are significantly fewer troops that can be deployed on the same area of the battlefield - if you can put in 5,000 men in a dense formation, you can put in a loose formation with a maximum of 2,500 men or even less. And the loose formation is definitely not conducive to foot combat! If you sweep away the dense rain of arrows again, how many people will still be fighting?

But even if there is no way to restrain the opponent's tactics. Tuhuan had no choice but to fight hard. What else could I do? Let a big Khan be driven away from the battlefield by a few thousand southern barbarian foot soldiers! This is not a shameful problem, Meng Ge's position is just behind the flank of the more than 20,000 Mongolian troops who are attacking Nantuochang, if Meng Ge runs away. The more than 20,000 people will be attacked on their backs. Moreover, once those Han troops and new annexed troops witnessed the fleeing of the Mongol Khan, they would not have to disarm and surrender all of them!

In the end, Tuhuan waved his hand to let a few thousand households adjust the deployment, but just admonished: "The Great Khan is waiting for our good news." We can't let the Great Khan down! ”

……

"Brethren. The Great Khan of Tartars will soon be defeated! His naval army is over, it's night, it's a mountainous area again, and the Tartar cavalry can't play at all, so they can only fight with us on foot! We have heavenly thunder, divine arms, and foot armor, and we are fighting in formation. Is there any reason why you can't win? ”

"Tonight, we just need to do the three things we have practiced on weekdays. It's a win! How many Tartar heads will have to be cut off then? It's all a credit! ”

"Brothers, work harder and kill more Tartars to avenge the death of your relatives and compatriots who were killed by the Tartars! It's better to go to the north as soon as possible, and then we will all be great heroes, what glory and wealth can't be obtained? ”

"Brothers, think about how those Tartars bullied us Han Chinese. Who of us has no one to die at the hands of the Tartars? Now is the time for revenge! ”

"Brothers, I declare battlefield discipline once more, and whoever does not obey the order will be killed! Anyone who retreats without an order, kill! Anyone who shoots indiscriminately without authorization will be punished ......"

The political commissioner of the Perak Army, uh, is the righteous instructor who is mobilizing the soldiers who are resting for a whileβ€”in addition to mobilization, of course, to declare strict battlefield discipline. Like the political committee members of the revolutionary army in later generations, the righteous instructors have the responsibility of supervising the war!

After some incitement, the more than 4,000 Han fighters who had been brainwashed by ultra-nationalist ideas immediately shouted slogans.

"Kill the Tartars! Go to Heaven! Kill the Tartars! Go to Heaven! ”

Seeing the high morale of the troops, Chen Dexing nodded with satisfaction. The party's method of ideological education is indeed a magic weapon that can be grasped at once, and even if the class struggle is replaced by nationalism, it is just as efficient!

"Blow the trumpet! The whole team! Get ready to attack! Chen Dexing ordered loudly.

Of course it's going to attack! The 13th-century Han nationalist fighters who were brainwashed by the party's ideological education methods were still afraid of those steppe barbarians who didn't even ride horses? Moreover, the Han nationalist warriors still have gunpowder weapons in their hands, as well as a divine arm bow that is no less powerful than a smoothbore gun!

More than 4,000 Han warriors quickly completed the whole team, still with the divine arm in the front, the spear in the center, the hair stone and the bed crossbow in the back, and a long group of gunners on each wing was arranged to cover them.

"Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols!"

With a sound that seemed to tear through the throat, the sound of slogans squeezed out of the chest. The cowardly Xue army, which had already dispersed in formation, all shouted in unison, and the hundred and ten households wielding sweaty scimitars were the first to charge. Then nearly 4,000 soldiers of the Cowardly Xue Army followed forward. It became a huge wave. Due to the narrowness of the battlefield, it could not accommodate the 6,000 cowardly Xue who were scattered in formation, and Tuhuan could only invest 4,000 people at a time. There was also no tight battle formation, not even an array similar to a skirmisher. After all, the infantry spread out and charged in formation, which was synonymous with the rabble in the era of cold weapons. At the same time, the Mongol stone machine began to throw very poor quality iron cannons, and with a muffled sound, one iron lump flew over the heads of the surging infantry waves, drawing an arc-shaped trajectory in the air, but there was no accurate head. Except for a very few cannons that landed in the Thunderbolt Array, most of them didn't know where they had flown to. It seems that the Mongols will need a long time of study and exploration to truly master this "high-tech" weapon. Moreover, even if they could make the stone machine a little more accurate, it would not be very powerful in the absence of high-quality gunpowder.

And what greeted the fierce charging waves of the cowardly Xue army was the thunder thrown by the Thunderbolt Water Army. Every thunderbolt that explodes and shrapnel that whistles and flies is a nightmare that Mongolian warriors will never forget! As long as you are within the range of the blast, no matter how heavy the armor is, it is useless! The high-pressure pig iron shards from the gunpowder explosion easily cut through the willow leaf iron armor and chain mail, sliced through the strong muscles, and shattered the thick bones. Blood splattered out in all directions, staining the muddy ground red. Due to the fact that the formation of the Cowardly Xue Army was spread out too widely, the thunderbolts of the Thunderbolt Army had almost no room to be missed, and they were all smashed in the assault team. Although there were only 20 of them, they still caused a lot of casualties. For a while, the screams of the cowardly warriors overpowered their shouts!

However, these people are the most powerful force in the Mongol Empire, although they were bombarded by rounds of thunder, but no one took a step back, and they all shouted and charged forward! The battle has reached this point, it has reached the most critical moment, just rush over, hack the opponent to death with a scimitar, and pick the enemy to death with a spear! This section of more than 100 paces of impact distance seemed far and slow on this night, enough for the Thunderbolt Army's stone machine to drop two rounds of heavenly thunder, twenty in the first round and forty in the second round! Every time a thunderbolt explodes, it will sweep down at least three or four Mongol warriors...... More than 200 casualties don't seem to be a big number, but those who fell were all armed to the teeth, the most ferocious cowardly Xue army!

Tuhuan sat on his horse, stretching his neck to watch the battle. Every time a fireball rises, his heart feels like it's been smashed!

Cowardly Xue Erlang died like this, and without even seeing the face of the enemy, he was killed by an iron ball that would explode! How could the Immortal Heaven allow such an unfair thing to happen?

The Han people of the Southern Dynasty are really hateful, and when they set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, they must kill more people to relieve their hatred......

Shen Muye, a general of the Perak Water Army and a graduate of the first phase of the Suiying Military Academy, stared at the Mongols who were howling and charging in the dark, and his young and handsome face had a resolute and nervous expression. His responsibility now is to measure the range, just like Chen Dexing was protecting the riverside back then.

However, the Thunderbolt Navy's divine arm bow salvo was within thirty paces. He raised the torch in his right hand, leaned back slightly, and threw the torch forward with great force! Throwing a torch is the signal to shoot, and the generals and generals of the three columns of divine arm archers all strive to throw torches at this moment.

At the same time, he roared loudly: "Divine Arm Bow, Fat!" ”

Countless sharp arrows were driven by the strong string force, and they shot out at the same time, and suddenly a whirlwind of death blew in the front row of the cowardly Xue army! The sharp arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow could penetrate even a wooden plank a hundred paces away, and at a distance of less than thirty paces, it was not at all something that the cowardly Xue Jun's willow leaf iron armor and chain mail (two layers) could resist. Sharp arrows pierced the armor and burst into the human body, and the arrows had long been soaked in sewage and feces, and if they were not debrided in time after piercing the human body, they would inevitably be infected with the wound.

"Divine Arm Bow, withdraw!"

Shen Muye ordered again, although the Divine Arm Archers were equipped with waist knives for self-defense, hand-to-hand combat was not their task after all. And before the Cowardly Xue army attacked, Shen Muye had already received the order to "stop at once" - Cowardly Xue was not a Han army or a new annex after all, and it was impossible to lose his morale by a dense rain of arrows!

"Little thunder, ignition, throw!"

While the Divine Arm Bow retreated, the pikemen behind them threw a small heavenly thunder that had been prepared long ago - the Thunderbolt Navy's tactics were not simply copied from the line infantry of later generations, but after dozens of drills, they explored their own unique tactics. For example, now, while the Divine Arm Bow was firing a volley, two of the three rows of pikemen behind them had already flattened their spears, while the last row was using fire folds to ignite the small heavenly thunder and throw it vigorously to cover the retreat of the Divine Arm archers...... (To be continued......)
