Chapter 41: Siege Network (9)

After a short night of more than two hours, the sky turned gray again. The darkness lasted for about three hours, and the morning glow appeared on the horizon. When Captain Lauder woke up, it was already sunny, and after a short sleep, the head felt that his strength had recovered a lot.

Last night I was on patrol and felt that the whole city of Warsaw was not quiet. There are people busy everywhere. Some are ready to fight, some are ready to travel. When I walked into the empty living room, I saw that the polished armor had been placed on the wooden shelf. The attendant sat in a chair next to him and fell asleep. Captain Lauder ordered him to take care of his armor last night, and this guy was really busy all night.

I went to make a convenient trip first, and when I came back, I saw that the attendant was still asleep. didn't wake up the attendants, Captain Lauder put on his own silk cotton armor, and the smooth and cold silk felt very comfortable when it touched the skin. After that he put on the armor himself. Although it is a full-body armor, the design is very convenient and can be worn by one person. As soon as he finished dressing, an alarm sounded outside. The attendant was awakened from his sleep by this voice, and was even more frightened to see that the regimental commander had already put on his own armor. Lauder didn't care about the squire's reaction, all he thought about at this time was the Yuan ** team. These enemies are so powerful that they don't even give the Teutonic Knights a little room to move.

The attendant regained some of his ability to think at this time, so he spoke stupidly, "My lord, did the Poles mutiny?" ”

Captain Lauder didn't bother to pay attention to him, drew his sword directly from the shelf, stepped on, and strode out of the door.

It was indeed the Yuan ** team that rushed to the outside of Warsaw, except for more than two hours of darkness, the Yuan ** team used pontoon bridges and boats to transfer troops to the east bank of the Vistula River. As soon as dawn came, Hao Ren personally marched north with more than 20,000 troops who had crossed the river. Ten miles south of Warsaw, the troops first stopped to rest.

If it is in the Great Song Dynasty, at this distance from the city gate, there will be a small gathering place, called Shilipu or a name related to Shilipu. There will probably also be a pavilion or something like a place for people to rest. There was no such place in Warsaw, so Hao Ren fought in front of the army under the sunshine and mobilized more than 20,000 officers and soldiers sitting on the ground before the war.

The loud-voiced soldiers in charge of the voice made all the soldiers hear the commander's speech, "Soldiers, I know that everyone is tired, but we will attack while the enemy is in chaos. Take advantage of this time to defeat them. ”

The commander faced the enemy with him, and the soldiers felt high-spirited. In the past ten years, unless it is an insignificant battle, as long as there is a big war, all the Yuan ** people who face the enemy have seen is the back of the commander Hao Ren.

"I told you that we would establish our homeland on the land of the West. This West is not Kievan Rus, it is only the West of Mongolia there, not the West as I call it. If I take Warsaw, I will establish the capital of the Yuan Kingdom in Warsaw, from Warsaw to Kiev, it is the homeland of our Yuan Kingdom, and it is the paradise of our Yuan Kingdom. Not only that, but everywhere further west in Warsaw, it will all be ours. Soldiers, let's work together to destroy the enemy! ”

As soon as Hao Ren finished speaking, all the soldiers shouted, "Long live the king!" "Long live the King!" For the generals, whether they thought of it or what they couldn't think of, King Hao Ren fulfilled everything he said. At this time, they heard King Hao Ren's decision, and all they had to do was to fight and complete the mission proposed by the king.

Looking at the excited reactions of the soldiers, Hao Ren was not too excited. Yesterday, these soldiers took advantage of the sappers to build a bridge and had a good rest for a day. It was to cross the river overnight, but in fact, I also took time to rest. Hao Ren, on the contrary, has been making all kinds of decisions without sleep, and he is also going to be forty years old. In this era when the loess was buried in his chest at the age of forty, Hao Ren was already an old grandfather. I really hope that after this battle is over quickly, I can sleep happily.

While the troops were resting, three thousand cavalry had been reorganized after crossing the bridge and joined the queue. Without waiting for the Yuan ** team to continue to Warsaw. Soon the Malay newspaper was reported that the cavalry had gathered on the Warsaw side, and it was seen that the movement was coming to meet the battle. The Yuan ** team also immediately adjusted the array and put on a posture of facing the battle.

The two sides met on a large flat field, and the other side was cavalry, and it looked like there must be thirty or forty thousand men. The enemy on the opposite side was mostly cavalry. Some of the familiar people who were captured by the Yuan State were captured when the Yuan State continued to harass Poland a few years ago. One of the tried acquaintances looked at the banner for a while, and then came to report, "My lord, these should be Polish cavalry." ”

"Oh." Hao Ren responded, and then sneered in his heart, he didn't expect that the Teutonic Knights were quite Mongolian, and they were good at using the new annex army to send them to death. Based on the experience of the Mongols, the new annex army was more ferocious than the Mongol army in many cases. That being the case, there was no reason to let go of the new Polish annex. After calling the generals and giving a few orders, the Yuan army began to act.

Thousands of cavalry galloped out of the Yuan ** array and set off for the new Polish annex. More than a hundred meters away, the cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom stopped their horses, drew their sabers one after another, and shouted at the new Polish annexed army. The new Polish annexes reacted immediately, and the vanguard of them raised their spears and slaughtered the Yuan cavalry.

The cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom did not use spears much in combat, but they all received relatively systematic spear training. Seeing the Polish lancers coming, he didn't talk nonsense, turned his horse's head and fled to his position. The carbine has a much farther attack range than the saber in battle, and it has a great advantage in cavalry battles. No matter how superb the knife is, the saber is naturally inferior to the carbine. The cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom fled back in a puff of smoke and ran through the gap in the infantry array to the rear. The pursuing Polish cavalry had already rushed fifty or sixty meters in front of the Yuan infantry at this time.

Without hesitation, the infantry of the Yuan Kingdom opened heavy fire on the new Polish annex army with rifles and artillery. The first row of Polish infantry was cut down by bullets like rice. But the Polish cavalry was by no means a weak brigade, otherwise it would have been conquered by the Teutonic knights long ago. Faced with such a situation, the cavalry behind jumped over the front row of fallen men and horses and continued to accelerate the charge.

The grenadiers of the Yuan Kingdom immediately attacked, and one by one heavy grenades were thrown more than 20 meters in front of the formation, exploding from a safe distance. In the smoke and fire, some Polish cavalry were pierced into the sky, and some fell directly from their kneeling horses, and threw themselves on the ground in a dog-eating posture.

The cavalry in the back row jumped over the men and horses to the end with superb horsemanship, and this time they did not attack again, but turned and fled. How could the Yuan ** team let them go so easily, and the muskets began to shoot in rows, hitting the unlucky ghosts among those clever ghosts. After this battle, the dead and wounded of the Polish cavalry fled back to their positions. Seeing that there was no preparation for another attack.
