Chapter 3: Heart Like Iron (20)

The sky will eventually brighten;

Snow, eventually, will be clear;

Blood, it will always run and dry.

When the first rays of dawn rose, the horns of the bulls on this side of the carving ditch sounded melodiously, and the Warats and Tatar horses that began to slow down with the dawn found that the night had passed, and it was a dark red, which was the color of blood congealed in the cold winter, and those dark ice layers were often wrapped in the corpses of men or horses, like pieces of huge amber.

And before they could come to their senses, to consider whether they should flee or fight to kill the Mongols in front of them, Yexian's banner had been moved to the mouth of the ditch in Diaogou, and then more than a hundred captives were there, shouting in unison the words that Zhu Gouyu had taught them, a very simple order, that is, shouting the names of the generals, asking the names from the mouths of Yexian, and letting these generals lead their soldiers and horses back to the camp.

Of course, Arazhiyuan didn't plan to let Yexian's soldiers and horses reorganize, but now in a chaotic situation, he could only command the two hundred cavalry around him, and in addition, other troops were also difficult to command, so he could only use the same method as Yexian, shouting the names of his generals and asking them to bring the soldiers and horses out.

After about half an hour, the military horses of the two sides were able to disengage from contact, the wolves in one place, the corpses in one place, and the military horses of some small tribes, they didn't know how to get involved in the war, and stayed in the battlefield, in the group of people and horses, they didn't know where to go, and they were stunned for a long time before choosing a side they thought was advantageous.

I have to say that the influence of Yexian cannot be underestimated in this chaotic war. At this time, there were about forty or fifty thousand people still alive, and these forty or fifty thousand people. It is obvious that there are many more horses and tribes in the camp on the north side of the carving ditch than on the side of the Arazhiyuan, and I am afraid that there will be twice as many of them. Ding Yi looked at it and nodded, this is also in line with the fact that after his death in history, many tribal leaders avenged him, but such a thing cannot happen now.

From the first and after the order of Ara. A full hour has passed, and the military horses on both sides have not yet returned to the camp, the military discipline of this era. Especially the military discipline of the soldiers and horses on the grassland is really not ordinarily bad, and in the camps of both sides, those Warat standing military horses look even better. Basically, they can get together; And the military horses of the Horde. It's still a mess.

At this moment, a rapid and bright charge was heard from the carved ditch, and the Duyin tribe, which had been holding the camp last night, thousands of soldiers and horses came out with the charge number, regardless of horsepower, not considering that the war horse was sweating in the cold winter, and it might get sick if it was blown by the cold wind, and frantically rushed towards the troops that had just gathered in the Arazhiyuan. And with the Duyin tribe, there are also the leaders of the Hara Hat, and the head of the Yongshao tribe, Jia Silan. The chieftain of the Ongniut tribe, Mauri, led their horses and rushed together against the ranks of the Arak Governorate.

The military horses on the northwest side of the carving ditch also looked at it, but they cheered, fortunately, Ding had arranged it early in the morning, and the more than 100 captives shouted the names of those generals: "Retreat into the camp!" That Yan has its own arrangement! Retreat into the camp, Nayan has his own arrangements! No engagement! "Many of those generals hesitated, but in the end they chose not to move, because the first means were really too brutal, and for the grassland military horses with extremely poor military discipline, to lead them, they could only use violent means.

The thousands of military horses of the Duyin tribe and the men and horses of the other three tribes together are not necessarily much less than the tens of thousands of people gathered by the Arazhiyuan at this time, not to mention that these military horses have rested all night, and they are much more energetic and physical than those of Ala's subordinates who have inexplicably fought all night in the dark night.

"He's your man?" He also stood on the toad stone first, looked at the Duyin tribe that was rushing to kill the team of the Arazhiyuan, and asked with a slight tremble, until he saw the Hara, Yongshao, and Weng Niute tribes, and his voice revealed a slight sense of powerlessness, because if Chen San's Duyin tribe was buried by Ding Yi's side, then these tribes, some of them are on the territory of Tatar, could it be said that Ding Yi's layout in the entire grassland has reached such a point? "They, they're all your people......"

Ding Yi smiled and didn't say anything, from the binoculars, he could see more clearly than Ye Xian, the troops of the Arazhiyuan were already in a state of collapse, and it was only a matter of time before the battle ended. At this time, to the south of Diaogou, there was also the sound of the charge, no need to ask, it was the messenger sent by Zhu Gouyu to get in touch with Ding Ruyu, and the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate also opened the fortress and began to cooperate with the tribes who were used as cannon fodder between the Diaogou and the Miyun avant-garde.

These tribes are extremely afraid of Yexian, and they also have the consciousness of being used as cannon fodder, which is the law of survival of the fittest in the grassland. Their combat strength is also not very good, in the chaos last night, but Zhu Gou sent a person, held the token of the first, and taught them to stay still, the north side of the carving ditch beat the dog's brains out, and those tribes did not dare to send soldiers and horses to inquire about the news.

Because they are afraid that once they provoke it, they will not like it first, and it will be a catastrophe.

In addition to the soldiers guarding the fort, Ding Ruyu also has thousands of musketeers available, not to mention that thousands of cavalry have been trained in recent years, and tens of thousands of standing military horses are the first to fight in the field, which is not enough. After all, with three or four thousand firearms, it is no problem to defend the fortress, but in the field, the number of ammunition per unit time is calculated according to the speed of Mongolian horses of more than 40 kilometers per hour, about 12 meters per second, 76 meters, at most 7 seconds, and only one fire in total. With three or four thousand rounds of ammunition, according to the students of the academy or the soldiers of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty and the First Marine Brigade who have received regular military discipline, it is guaranteed that the smoothbore gun has a 60 percent hit rate of 76 meters, and for the tens of thousands of elite Warats who are standing on standby, it is impossible to restrain the momentum of their charge.

And these musketeers under Ding Ruyu are not as good as the students of the academy, and this is even lower [if you calculate according to the probability that the British army consumed 3.5 million rounds of ammunition in the battle in Vittoria, Spain, and only caused one enemy casualty every 450 rounds...... That's better not to count. 】

But it was not too difficult to sweep away these cannon fodder tribes, they all fought as tribes, and under a team of hundreds of horsemen, three rounds of guns and grenadiers, they quickly dispersed; And when one tribe is scattered, often other tribes have no intention of fighting.

Before Chen San led the Duyin tribe and several tribes he had secretly connected with, and captured the Alazhiyuan alive, the 2,000 firearms of the Miyun avant-garde had already entered the carving ditch, and the cavalry that Ding Ruyu had trained in the past few years was afraid that it would not be possible to charge with the Mongols, but there was no problem in fighting this kind of tailwind battle and chasing the rout of the cannon fodder tribe in case they regrouped to form combat effectiveness.

When the 2,000 firecrackers arrived at the corpse wall at the mouth of the ditch on the north side of the carving ditch, the first banner was put down, and the one that was re-erected belonged to Ding Yi's dilapidated Mingzi battle flag.

"How is this possible!" The commanders of those warats who were standing with soldiers and horses exclaimed, "Akpong Rakshasa! Was Nayan harmed by Apoyrakshasa? "100,000 iron horsemen, can't they be the enemy of a sword from Apong Rakshasa!" Immortal God! "I want to go back to Mobei!" I don't want to fight this demon! He can't be killed! "It's daytime! During the day! Isn't he the god of the night? Why can he use supernatural powers during the day! That's not right! ”

At this time, there were messengers rushing out of the carving ditch, and they held the token of Yexian, and one by one they rushed over to give an order: "Apong Rakshasa is the blood of the Heavenly Khan, and the first Taishi is the great Khan of the grassland!" Whoever is dissatisfied can lead the soldiers and horses away, but no one knows what happened! ”

Someone hesitated, and began to reorganize the ranks of a thousand horsemen, presumably preparing to leave, and first with his die-hard subordinates, such as those of the Alecchi; But for the steppe military horses with loose military discipline, even if they are standing soldiers, not all of them are like Alecchi, otherwise, he would not have to use this puppet Khan for more than ten years.

But it has to be said that this thousand-man team is very unlucky, they happen to be on the side close to the toad stone, maybe they feel that it is safer to be close to the mountain wall, and they don't have to be attacked on both sides? In short, the more than 100 captives of the Zhu Gou Remnant Sect shouted: "I, Abang Rakshasa, curse you, those who leave, bleed all over their bodies and die!" "Death is probably the most vicious curse on the steppe, and it is the thousand horsemen who have decided to leave, but they only stop for a moment, but continue in the direction they are going.

At this time, the problem comes, if it is a grenade with a pull fuse, then the explosion delay is fixed, I am afraid that there are two ropes tied to it or something, one hangs down, and the other pulls the fuse, or the toad stone is so far from below, God knows if it can bloom accurately in the air above this thousand-man team?

But this team of 1,000 people is really ill-fated, Li Yuncong's fire team is all equipped with grenadiers, the grenades of the grenadiers have a flight distance of nearly 300 meters, this team of 1,000 people leaning against the mountain wall is considered to have encountered a ghost, the grenadier is an ultra-light mortar, such a salvo of twelve bodies, each of them after the battle of Diaogou, there are about ten bullets to carry, and the eight per person carried by the pistol squad and the reconnaissance squad are useless, only to listen to Zhu Gou's remaining order: "Shoot light!" So more than 200 grenades came down the parabola, which was really centered on the mountain wall on the edge of the toad rock, and about 20 volleys were fired, six of which exploded from the front of the team to the tail of the team, and six from the end of the team to the front of the team, and after all of them were gone, the team of 1,000 people, there was really no one or a horse to stand, and they all groaned in a pool of blood.

The rest of the thousands of horsemen were really stunned when they looked at it, even the Duyin tribe and the military horses of those tribes who had just swept away the A'ra department, and the two thousand firecrackers guarding the corpse wall at the north entrance of the carving ditch, without exception, were all in a state of distraction. It's not the so-called tiger squat cannon predecessor of the large-sized fire gun that hit iron sand in the defense of the Beijing Division, for this era, this is the artillery of precision strike!

No matter how light it is, it is also an artillery that belongs to the god of war! (To be continued......)
