Chapter 49: Recruits Go into Battle (Three Watches)
Tian Shouxin looked at the orderly reinforcements, exuding a bloody aura, and couldn't help but think of the battle a day ago.
……
"Your Excellency, after a long period of reconnaissance, we saw that the scouts of the Dragon Army had found the camp of the three Mongolian tribes."
"Well done! Wen Xuan, I remember you this time. Zhu Youjian said happily.
Tian Shouxin stood up after Zhu You's fitness, and he was confused.
This Xiaoqi named Wen Xuan is obviously a person from Jinyiwei, how can he claim to see the Dragon Army?
The more important question is, what is the Dragon Army? And what is a scout?
"Keep your word, give the order, the army will march east along the coastline to the north, bypass Jinzhou, and go straight to the Daling River!" Zhu Youjian didn't know Tian Shouxin's thoughts, so he ordered directly.
Tian Shouxin was distracted, and he was trembling when he heard the military order.
"Yes."
"Don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't think about what you shouldn't think!" Tian Shouxin admonished himself, flashed out of the military tent, and gave the order.
Immediately, 30,000 flying dragon troops galloped on horseback, traveling 100 miles a day, and arrived 20 miles away from the Mongolian camp at sunset.
Zhu Youjian took advantage of the rest of the soldiers, regardless of fatigue, to patrol the camp on foot, and these days, he inspected almost all the small flags.
And teach the soldiers a new greeting etiquette - shaking hands.
Although it did not conform to the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, it was deeply supported by the soldiers.
This time, I didn't bring civil officials out, so the new etiquette was implemented smoothly.
Every time Zhu Youjian patrolled the camp, everyone rushed up to shake hands.
Being able to shake hands with the emperor is worth it in this life!
Da Da Da ......
A detective came on a horse, flew off his horse about 20 steps away from Chongzhen, and galloped over.
"Report ...... The Mongol battalion seemed to know the movement of our army, and sent 3,000 men and horses to rush towards our army before a stick of incense. ”
Zhu Youjian nodded when he heard this, and the 30,000-strong army galloped all the way, the loess was all over the sky, and the sound of hooves spread far away, and it was strange that the Mongols didn't know.
"Xiong Wei and Sun Meng, you take 5,000 people to take a look, and if you can, you can annihilate them all, but don't force it." Zhu Youjian said.
"Holy Lord, 3,000 people are enough." Xiong Wei is full of confidence.
"In the wilderness, our army may not be an opponent of the Tatars!"
After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he looked at Xiong Wei with a look of disbelief, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Most of our cavalry have no combat experience, this is not a drill, it is a real fight, in case of some chaos, the whole army will be annihilated.
Although you have experience in ambushes, you have never been involved in this kind of situation of directing cavalry charges. I'm afraid there won't be enough of 5,000 people! Since you are so confident, I am even more worried, bring another 2,000 people. ”
Xiong Wei's face was scornful, and he almost wanted to justify, but he was pulled by Sun Meng and took the order.
7,000 men soon left the camp.
Xiong Wei ordered, use the fastest speed to find the enemy, fire a five-arrow crossbow at a distance of 200 steps, before the confrontation should be able to fire 3-4 rounds, and then interspersed with the fight!
The soldiers shouted victory and roared away.
A quarter of an hour later, the two armies met.
The leader of the Mongolian army dragged mines, looked at the Ming cavalry from a distance, and saw that there were nearly 10,000 people, and they were about to withdraw.
He had come to investigate the truth and truth, and he was going to stop and observe and go back to report, not wanting the Ming army to see him, just like a wolf seeing a flock of sheep, he pounced frantically.
This greatly boosted his self-esteem.
Cavalry warfare, which has always been the world of the Mongols, is today treated like sheep by the weak Han Chinese.
Amusing!
"In the name of Immortal Heaven, kill all those arrogant Han people!"
Drag the thunder and shout, take the lead, gallop and kill.
Xiong Wei was overjoyed when he saw it, "I was afraid that you would run away, so it's just right!" ”
"Kill! Kill all the Tatars! ”
Most of the Ming troops were newborn calves, and except for a few Guan Ning soldiers, they all shouted excitedly.
Originally, Guan Ningbing was still a little worried, but he was quickly infected by this fearless atmosphere, and he also shouted and galloped away.
Clusters of ......
The Ming army pulled the trigger of the five-arrow crossbow, and the crossbows shot out one after another.
In the distance, the Mongol army began to suffer casualties.
Clusters of ......
In accordance with General Xiong Wei's order, the Ming army fired crossbow arrows at the fastest speed, round after round, and the Mongol cavalrymen who were subjected to intensive fire turned on their backs.
When the confidence of the Ming army was about to fire the fourth round of crossbow arrows, they heard the sound of breaking the air from far and near.
"What? What is this sound? ”
"Ah......h
It turned out that the Mongols began to fight back, and more than 1,000 sharp arrows fell into the Ming army's formation, and people continued to fall from their horses with arrows.
Although the firepower of the five-arrow crossbow is strong, it is not accurate.
The other side is only 3,000 people, scattered extremely open, the hit rate is surprisingly low, although there are people in the Mongolian army everywhere who have been hit by arrows, but they are not fundamentally injured.
The Mongolian cavalry, in line with the principle of no missing arrows, fired arrows again and again, and the cavalry and archery skills that they had practiced since childhood showed a huge combat advantage at this time.
The Mongols fired extremely fast, and in a short distance of 70 paces, they even shot 3 rounds, and the speed of the horses did not decrease, and the wind generally crashed directly into the Ming army.
The Ming recruits had never seen such a dangerous situation, and soon saw that their comrades were killed, blood was splattered, and some people shouted and retreated.
Before the shouting stopped, the enemy's head was cut off with a knife.
For a time, the Ming army's formation began to loosen, and there was a risk of collapse at any time.
Fortunately, Guan Ningbing has rich experience, and as a small banner, or group leader, he quickly gathered his subordinates to form a combat team to carry out a counterattack.
The critical situation was temporarily eased, and the Ming army stabilized its position.
The Mongolian cavalry did not like to fight, and went straight through the Ming army, galloped out dozens of steps, quickly turned the horse's head, and rushed over again while releasing arrows.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Xiong Wei drank.
However, he panicked just now, many people didn't even change the arrow clip, and when they heard the military order, they hurriedly changed the arrow clip.
Before the replacement was completed, the Mongolian cavalry arrived again, slashing and slashing while galloping, and in the blink of an eye, they went straight through the Ming army again and galloped forward.
Xiong Wei was shocked, he looked around, only to see the ground full of soldiers' corpses, and the ownerless war horse ran away in a panic...... He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do for a while.
Tuo Lei thought it was a hard battle, but who knew that it was so easy, and if he rushed to kill three or five times like this, this Ming army would definitely be wiped out, and he couldn't help but feel murderous.
Xiong Wei had the intention to retreat, but he couldn't let go of his face, raised his steel spear, and rushed towards the enemy.
The main general was like this, and the soldiers were immediately encouraged, and they rushed to the horse.
The Mongol cavalry was overjoyed when they saw it, since you Han people did not flee, then die here.
The two armies rushed together again, and this time the five-arrow crossbow did not play much role, but the Mongol bows and arrows killed many Ming troops.
Immediately, the Mongol cavalry rushed in again.
The Mongols were extremely fast, and they were still as fast as lightning in the melee, and they swung their knives as freely as swinging their arms, cutting melons and chopping vegetables to kill the Ming army.
Xiong Wei relied on his personal martial arts, blocked left and right, saw the right time, picked and killed an enemy with one shot, and suddenly felt that the horse leaned forward and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
It turned out that at some point, his war horse was cut off his right leg, and he was immediately thrown to the ground.
Surrounded by tall horses, Xiong Wei danced his steel spear around him, desperately resisting the slash, and after a moment of panic, the enemy rushed over again.
Looking at the enemy running away, Xiong Wei stood with a gun, covered in dirt and his face gloomy.
"I knew it was so...... I regret it! ”
"Kill...... Kill ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of killing on the south side of the battlefield.
