Chapter 98: Rush, Rush, Rush
Zhu Gaoxu heard the other party's shouting at this time, and he noticed that the southern army still had guns.
However, the lethal range of the fire gun in the early Ming Dynasty was only about ten to twenty steps, as long as it was not close, it was still quite safe, like he was wearing triple armor today, more than fifty catties, even if he was hit within ten steps, he would definitely be fine, of course, he couldn't be hit in the face.
Just as he was thinking, he almost wandered and hit the horse against Zhou Hu's horse on the side.
Zhou Hu was taken aback: "Your Highness." ”
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that when fighting, he must not be distracted.
"Shooting" At this moment, Xu Xiang was already drinking.
Collapse, collapse, the sky was filled with the sound of pulling the bowstring.
More than 1,000 of the 2,000 men on Zhu Gaoxu's side had bows, and a salvo of hula was fired.
The southern army on the opposite side felt that it was dark in front of them, and the sky was dark.
"Mother's." A thousand households in the southern army screamed loudly, this Yan army fought like a Mongol.
There were also people shouting in the rear of the "shooting" of the Southern Army.
The Southern Army also had a large number of foot bows.
Collapse and collapse, and there was also a rain of arrows flying on the opposite side, but it was significantly less than them.
The southern army was based on a guard post as a battalion, about 5,000 people, of which the archers were only about two or three hundred at most.
Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, he is more than 1,000 and obviously inferior.
The key is that Zhu Gaoxu's troops are all cavalry, shooting while running, and the archers on the opposite side have to rely on prediction if they want to shoot them.
The infantry of the Southern Army did not move, and the formation was dense, and this wave of arrows fell.
There was a terrible scream in the southern army's formation, countless people fell to the ground, and all kinds of cries and cries casually spread around the camp.
Zhu Gaoxu's rear formation was shot by a wave of bows and arrows from the opposite side, and there were many recruits in the rear formation, and they also fell to the ground a lot.
After the first wave of shooting from both sides, Zhu Gaoxu had already seen that the southern army's bow formation was on the right rear side of the infantry formation.
"To the west, to the west." Zhu Gaoxu said loudly: "Follow us." ”
They took it to the west and continued to shoot as they ran.
Collapsing, the Yan army's arrow rain fell on the southern army's infantry in waves, and the cavalry became farther and farther away from the archers on the opposite side.
The advantage of this is that the Yan army can shoot the southern army's infantry formation at any time, but if the southern army's bows and arrows want to shoot them, they have to move forward.
Li Jian in the southern army formation was in the back battalion, and was mobilizing the infantry around him to move forward, trying to resist the Yan cavalry with a dense formation.
But he never expected that the cavalry on Zhu Gaoxu's side did not rush straight at their infantry formation, but shot at both sides.
In another Yan army hundreds of meters away from him, Huo Zhen and Tan Yuan were using cavalry to attack the infantry formation.
Zhu Gaoxu's style of play is obviously Mongol.
Although the cavalry of the Yan army is far from the Mongolian cavalry, the southern army is dense, no matter how good the archery skills are on the opposite side, as long as you can pull up the bow and shoot at this side, there is always a great probability that you can shoot.
"Come on, bring in the archers of the rear battalion and the rear guard battalion." Li Jian ordered with his own soldiers.
"No." The soldiers slapped their horses and left.
But after Li Jian gave the order, he looked at the chaotic scene again, and the archers of the two battalions behind him ran up, and he knew how long it would take.
"Let's go. Go to the front. Li Jian patted his horse and walked forward with a letter from his own soldiers.
Someone immediately grabbed him: "General, the front is dangerous." ”
"The front is collapsing, and we are more dangerous." Li Jian said angrily.
Zhu Gaoxu fired several rounds in a row, running back and forth along their outer side, each round of thousands of arrows, and only then did the fifth round, the infantry in front could no longer resist, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, a small half of the dead and wounded, and screams and wails everywhere.
At the same time as Li Jian went forward, Zhu Gaoxu and Xu Xiang glanced at each other, and it was almost over.
"Rush."
"Rush."
"Rush"
"Tiger" Zhu Gaoxu's personal soldiers first drank the tiger.
Then more and more of Zhu Gaoxu's subordinates called.
This is a signal that the whole army is charging, and the momentum is like thunder.
In addition, a few pro-soldiers immediately took out bamboo poles from their horses and put red flags on them.
Two red flags were on their backs, which were the signs of the charge of the whole army.
Zhou Hu, Song Meng, Wei Da and other generals gathered in front of Zhu Gaoxu, for fear that he would be shot by a secret arrow.
Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted to rush to the front, but he didn't expect everyone to run faster than him.
It's not that his thousand-mile horse can't do it, but in this kind of battlefield, it's impossible to run fast, as long as there is a horse in front of him, he has to reduce his speed.
"Xu Qianhu to the east, Chen Wen to the west, you separate the two roads." Zhu Gaoxu shouted while running.
Both responded at the same time.
His cavalry quickly split into two lanes and rammed headlong into the Confederate camp at great speed.
The "boom" Southern army was rushed by the cavalry and immediately collapsed.
The originally dense infantry formation of the Southern Army was shot by their five-wheeled cavalry, and the shots were scattered, and they were completely unable to organize effective resistance.
After dozens of breaths of effort, Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Wen have penetrated a large battalion of the Southern Army.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's mind was extremely clear, and he felt that he was born to fight.
This feeling of prancing horses and galloping makes him very addicted.
Even, he actually likes to see the picture of his horse lance tearing other people's flesh and bones.
Because he knows that on the battlefield, there is no compassion and no mercy.
"Kill that Yan Shun." Suddenly, there was a loud roar in front of him.
On the opposite side of a thousand households, wearing piercing armor and being shot three arrows on his body, but still standing straight, he watched Zhu Gaochu rush in, and knew that he was a senior general when he looked at Zhu Gaoxu's armor.
"Move closer to me and block him." He shouted loudly and kept ordering the infantry around him to move closer to him, intending to block Zhu Gaoxu with a dense infantry formation.
Originally, the scene had begun to collapse, and many Southern troops in a small area scattered and fled.
But these thousand households seem to be well-trained, and more than 200 people quickly gathered around them.
More than half of the two hundred men carried spears, and a few had shields and knives.
From time to time he who bears the shield raises his shield to ward off arrows.
Whenever an arrow falls into the crowd, ah, someone will scream, but the formation of the whole formation is still very tight, and the rest of the southern army, seeing that this side can maintain the formation, more people gather here.
"Don't let them gather." Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, waved his big hand, and then put away his bow.
He was followed by his own soldier Sun Sheng, who had a horse lance on his horse's back and held it in one hand.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu retract his bow, Sun Sheng immediately pulled up the horse lance: "Your Highness." "Handed it over.
Zhu Gaoxu took the horse lance, holding the reins in one hand and the horse lance in the other: "Give me a rush." ”
Boom, the horse army of the brigade rushed towards the group.
"Steady, steady, pikemen ahead. Shieldmen watch out for arrows. Qianhu on the other side watched Zhu Gaoxu rush over and shouted loudly.
The pikemen rushed to the front.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and Qianhu only gave a few orders, and the Yan army had already rushed to the front like an arrow.
More than ten riders in front of them didn't know whose subordinates they were, they didn't slow down at all, boomed, and even people and horses crashed into the opposite infantry formation.
There was a Yan army that flew out directly from the horse, pounced, and smashed into the opponent's army formation, one person knocked down several, but this Yan army had no chance to stand up at all, and the spears around him swooped and killed him, and immediately died on the spot.
