Chapter 696: Checheng Shenwei
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the Mongolian army rode 10,000 people, and with a command, the waves surged and rushed forward. First, thousands of random arrows swished and whistled, like swallows and crows, and drilled into the car city. Some puffed and pinned to the slabs outside, and some flew in from the air. The soldiers either swung with their weapons or blocked with their shields. However, several people were injured. Two horses were stabbed by arrows and screamed and struggled.
In the middle of the circle, although Jinyiwei is an elite cavalry, he has just escaped from the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry, and it is inevitable that he is a little nervous when he witnesses this. It was the cavalry under Ma Fang, who had been fighting with the Mongolian horse team for a long time, and they knew each other well, but everyone was armed with weapons.
But seeing that Yu Dayou's face was like frost, his lips were clenched, and he only waved the sword in his hand. The soldiers who operated the Franc machine on the partial box truck and the main box car lit the fire rope one after another. The tiger squat cannon and the exterminator cannon in the back also spewed out from the gap with a bang. Clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up in the small car city, choking the people inside and coughing. Then, the guns of the Min soldiers also radiated one by one towards the outside of Checheng. The crossbowman also fires a strong crossbow at the outside.
When the Mongolian soldiers rushed towards Checheng, they were bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces in Checheng, and immediately people shouted and neighed, and they fell down. Then more than 1,000 firearms were fired in a row, and the leather armor of the Mongolian soldiers, how could they block the projectiles at close range, and suddenly people turned on their backs. These mighty steppes, and the warriors who have conquered most of the Eurasian continent, are also mortal in the flesh after all, and when they can't use their war horses to maneuver to dodge at this close impact, they become simple harvests.
The rest of the Mongol soldiers rushed to the edge of the Checheng, and the axle of the Checheng was half a man high, and there was a baffle on top of it. In front of him, he stretched out a spear and thistle. Mongol soldiers could not get close. On the contrary, the Ming army who got on and off the car continued to attack with firearms from the gap, and this close range was even more accurate, and there was no physiology. Some of the Mongol troops were fierce and rushed in through the gaps in the vehicles, but the Ming army had six or seven spearmen in each vehicle, and they all gathered stabs. Most of these warriors were either killed or wounded.
In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, some of the Ming soldiers were also cut by the sabers of the Mongol soldiers, or trampled and injured by horses. There were also Mongol soldiers who rushed close and fired bows and arrows, killing and injuring the Ming army. But on the whole, the losses were much smaller than those of the enemy.
At the moment of the fierce battle, the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy casualties and could not break through the Checheng, so they had to retreat like a tide, leaving only a piece of corpses of men and horses in front of the Checheng. There were even some injured people, crawling on the ground and moaning and squirming.
Yu Dayou frowned: "Eliminate the evil." Archers, shoot me all these wounded tartars. ”
Yan Hong hurriedly stopped: "Wait." General Yu, don't do it. ”
Yu Dayou said: "Could it be that Yan Qincha still has pity on these Tartars? ”
Yan Hong smiled: "That's not it. It's just that I see that these people are all seriously injured, and they won't be able to hurt our sons for a while. Rather than wasting arrows to kill them, it is better to leave them here to fend for themselves. When these people are wounded, they still have a mouth to eat, and they have to be served, and they are not dragged down? If these Tartars can't stand it and let them kill them themselves, that's good. ”
Yu Dayou nodded and said, "Qin Cha's opinion is really clever. ”
Ma Fang also came over at this moment and said to Yu Dayou: "General Yu, your car formation is really powerful. Ma is riding against riding, and he only chops half a catty and eight taels with the Tartar, your car array is round, the Tartar is simply a thousand, and five hundred pairs are sent to death, admire and admire! ”
Yu Dayou glanced at Yan Hong and said, "Although the chariot formation can hold on to the Tartars in the plains, after all, it moves quickly, and it can only be defended, not attacked. In addition, the whole army must act together to cover each other, and if they are alone, they are almost useless. In comparison, it is General Ma's method of cavalry warfare, which is proactive and seeks the enemy for a decisive battle. In the future, if I want to sweep the northern frontier and never suffer from future troubles, I still have to use iron horses. Furthermore, this car array is not my original creation, but the law of the ancients. It is this dynasty, there was a former milling Zeng Dashuai, and he also designed the method of thunderbolt warfare, and wanted to use the thunderbolt joint venture to recover the Hetao, but his ambition was not rewarded. Some of my chariot battalions also follow his old wisdom. ”
Yan Hong heard Zeng Milling, and the chrysanthemum was tense again, thinking Yu Dayou, you are careful. Who doesn't know that Zeng Milling and Xia Yan were both killed by my grandfather Yan Song and my father Yan Shifan, what do you mean by remembering Zeng Milling in front of me?
But he looked at Ma Fang and said: "Miaomiao, General Yu said that the car formation is the law of the ancients, but I also remembered it." At that time, Li Ling, the grandson of the flying general Li Guang, used a cart to form a chain to resist the Huns, killing and wounding more than 10,000 people. Ma Long of the Jin Dynasty also used a partial box car to fight for more than 1,000 miles, breaking Xianbei and setting Xiliang. General Yu's car is riding with us, and he deserves the bad luck of the Tartars today, and all of them die here! ”
Yan Hong thought to himself, old horse, I know you're playing a round, but please pay a little attention to the next lottery. I know a lot when I listen to you pull up the military history, don't you know what happened to Li Ling after killing and injuring the Huns in a car formation, not only was he defeated and captured in the end, and his whole family was killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also his good friend Sima Qian cut off the eggs for the emperor, who are you cursing? Forget it, don't worry about these brainless martial artists.
is talking nonsense, but I can hear the horn outside again. Then Liu Lian ran to announce: "Sir, generals, it seems that there are quite a few Tartar cavalry coming around from the north. ”
On a small hillside in the southeast of Malianbao City, Xin Ai Huang Taiji immediately looked at the car formation not far in front of him under a dead tree: "It's such a palm-sized thing, so that I can't even rush in with 10,000 warriors?" ”
Wanhu Helxin beside him said: "Yes Huang Taiji, the firepower of the Ming soldiers defending inside is very strong, and our warriors can't rush in." ”
Huang Taiji's two thick black eyebrows were twisted together: "The three fools of Ai Xin, Batel and Muha are simply a disgrace to Genghis Khan." Add another 10,000 men, and you will command too. Be sure to wipe out all these Ming Dynasty soldiers! ”
"Yes!" Helsing agreed, grabbed the horse, and rushed down the hill.
Huang Taiji was beside him, and there was a horse, a knight on horseback, but a little girl less than ten years old, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows, and no heroism in her childishness. Seeing that Huang Taiji was angry, she said crisply: "Uncle Xinai, didn't you say that you want to take down the head of the Ming Dynasty this time?" Is that chincha in there? ”
Huang Taiji turned his face, but the murderous aura on his face dissipated five points at once: "That's right." It was in the circle of the besieged city. This time, I will make a new cup out of his head and dedicate it to the Honourable Altan Khan. ”
In the middle of Checheng, the Fujian soldiers under Yu Dayou ran back and forth. Franc machine, tiger squat cannon, and captivity cannon, firing one after another. After firing the first shot, the soldiers quickly fanned off the smoke from the muzzle of the cannon, and then filled it with gunpowder and projectiles to prepare for the second shot. But soon the Mongol cavalry approached Checheng, and the long-range artillery did not rotate well, so it was not very useful.
This time, the Mongol cavalry no longer charged straight as they did the first time, trying to directly crush and crush the city. On the contrary, they adopted more mobile and flexible tactics, with more than a dozen or dozens of people running back and forth in small groups. Some galloped along the perimeter of Checheng, while others rushed straight along, striking the guards of Checheng with maces in their hands, or slashing with sabers and piercing with spears. Others, after approaching, shoot arrows into the car city from the gap. Some of the arrows were still fire. Two barrels of gunpowder were ignited by the flames of the Mongol arrowheads, and there was a small explosion, which not only killed several soldiers, but also shook the defensive line for a time. Yu Dayou had to go with his personal soldiers and personally pick up the firebolt and launch it outside, so that he stabilized his position.
Yan Hong saw that the Fujian soldiers were in a bitter battle, and said angrily: "Jinyi Guards gather!" General Yu, there are heavy Tartars outside at this moment, so we don't have to divide each other. I'm at your command of these three hundred brocade guards. You can treat them as Fujian soldiers. ”
Yu Dayou said: "Qin is kind, this is not appropriate. The Fujian soldiers are based on their own teams, and they are well-trained, and they can cooperate like one person in battle. Although Jinyiwei's martial arts are good, I am afraid that it is inconvenient to command. (To be continued......)
