Two horses exchanged the lives of four steppe cavalrymen, and the three steppe cavalrymen who were still alive discovered the movement here, and looked at Xiang Er, who was riding away on horseback, and they all let out a roar of shock and anger.

Why is this Ming scout so difficult? After walking them for a day, there are now three of the original nine-person establishment, and because of such a soldier, the reduction is more than half.

The face of the nine people was pale, and they chased in the direction of Xiang Er's escape with a fierce whip, and when they passed by, they didn't even glance at the grassland cavalry who were still struggling on the ground, but just roared twice.

If someone is here who understands Mongolian, they will understand that he is talking about the word "waste".

There is indeed a sense of powerlessness in the heart of the nine-man leader, Xiang Er in front of him is like a slippery earthworm, and in the two days and nights of pursuit, he can only see Xiang Er's back, but he can't catch up.

Narrowed the distance, killed three, scattered and encircled, consumed one horse for him and killed two, and finally forced him into a dead end, and his own men sent him another horse.

It's no wonder that he is so incompetent and furious, nine people catch one person, he can't shoot arrows, he can't fight with knives if there are fewer people, and now there are three people left, it's a shame to throw it to his grandmother's house.

The Captain of Nine only felt like he was the idiot in the stories that his grandmother used to tell while sitting by the campfire.

You must catch up with him, you must kill him!

The corner of the eye of the nine-man man looked behind him, and the faces of the two steppe cavalrymen were already a little afraid, they... Scared.

A wave of anger surged from the bottom of the heart of the nine-man chief, and he was about to get angry, but he couldn't make a sound.

Because he could feel his heart beating extremely fast, his hand that had been holding the reins for more than ten years was actually a little shaking, and his scalp was actually tightened because of trembling.

Myself... Also scared?

Xiang Er, who was some distance away from the Mongolian scouts, naturally didn't know what the barbarians behind him were thinking, he pressed his chest, and some blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Although Xiang Er, who has fought a lot of dead battles, is not a doctor, but he has suffered a lot of injuries, he can know his current physical condition, he frowned, and only felt a little troublesome.

When he was forced to do nothing before, he fought with two barbarians, and although one was hacked to death first, he was also extremely viciously used by the other barbarian to lasso off the horse.

Then he was stepped on the chest by the war horse, and his ribs should have been broken, and I don't know if he hurt his internal organs.

Xiang Er spat blood fiercely, damn it, these Mongolians are really not particular.

The war horse under him probably had some opinions about him, the new master, and was about to stumble as he ran, so Xiang Erer didn't say a word and pulled out an arrow and stabbed it fiercely on the horse's buttocks.

How the fuck do you dare to lose your temper at me?

The pain caused the war horse to drain the last of its strength and run faster, but Xiang Er knew that it was already the end.

The strength was exhausted, the body was wounded, the knife was lost, the two horses were gone, and even the arrows were all gone, and only the one on the horse's ass remained.

The bow in his hand might be able to send the last arrow, Xiang Er put it away, and sighed faintly, the soldier's eyebrows were extremely comically half-cocked and half-wrinkled.

Wrinkled because I felt like I was going to die, and I was quick to warp because I felt that I was really not losing.

How many barbarians did you hack to death? From the beginning of entering the grassland, it took forty or fifty horses to ride, not to mention two sacrifices for each of their comrades, three was enough.

Die, die, have been a soldier in the border city for so many years, and are used to eating wind and sand and entering the grassland, this world, that's it.

After all, the injured Crazy Horse could only run for a few miles, and when Xiang Er pierced the arrow in the butt of the war horse for the third time, the war horse under him could no longer run.

Looking back, the three horsemen were getting closer and closer, and Xiang Er, who had excellent eyesight, could even see the hideousness on their faces.

One of them was already bending his bow and setting up an arrow, pouting at the second and picking up the bow, ready to shoot another arrow before he died.

However, the speed of the three people's horses gradually slowed down, and the set arrow was not shot out for a long time, Xiang Er didn't dare to let go, just waiting for the opposite side to enter the firing range, and he was still thinking that these Mongolians are really not particular, and Lao Tzu is still going to play with me after being like this?

But gradually he realized that something was wrong, because the three horsemen desperately pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, it seemed... Want to run?

The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded from the other direction, and when he turned his head to look at Er, the same three horsemen were rushing towards this place, the only difference was... They are Akito.

It's a companion who came out of Qiu City together.

Three scouts, equally emaciated and bruised, were immediately crouching down and launching a charge with only three men, and they calmly rushed past Xiang Er's side, without even greeting him, they drew their swords intently, and pinched their fingers hard.

Slowly lowering the bow in the second hand, he wanted to scratch his neck, but he pulled the wound in his chest, and it hurt so much that he groaned.

It fucking hurts.

……

Su Keqi, who came to the front, narrowed his eyes and saw an extremely comical scene in the distance.

More than 400 riders, actually to them... A charge was launched.

It was still a little far away, and the Mongolian people who boasted of eagle eyes looked at these Ming cavalrymen looking for death, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

Bai Ma was not far from Su Keqi, and she was a little curious: "Father, these people... What are you thinking? ”

"Want to die a glorious death? Or do you want to work miracles? Or do you want to get attention? Su Keqi had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "I don't care." ”

"Order, the two armies are trapped, solve them in the shortest possible time, and pursue the Ming army!"

The heralds on horseback waved their flags quickly, and several scouts began to gallop towards the royal cavalry on both wings.

The current Wangting cavalry is a concave formation, with the main force of cavalry on both sides, and Su Keqi's personal guards in the middle, this formation is used to encircle the Ming army, probably they didn't expect it... There will be a Ming army to charge this formation, and there are only a few hundred people.

The flat grassland, people's line of sight is extremely open, except for too far away below the horizon can not be seen, the movements of the military formation can still be seen at a glance, the Mongolian cavalry on both sides began to prepare, like an open bag slowly waiting for the prey to enter the bag, and those prey really did not hesitate, continued to charge here.

A general suddenly thought of something: "Your Majesty, please go to the back, don't forget that the Ming people have that kind of weapon!" ”

Su Keqi was satisfied: "Yes, as a general, you have to think more." ”

He looked left and right: "Prepare to charge!" ”

The armor rate of the grassland cavalry is low, but it is only limited to ordinary cavalry, as the royal court cavalry guarding the king of the south, the armor rate is not as good as those Ming people on the other side, but it is enough, so on the eve of the charge, there is also a sound of armor colliding like in the Ming army, and it is accompanied by a strange shout, they who are used to hunting think that this strange cry can deter the prey.

Su Keqi looked back at his daughter: "Remember, in the face of prey, don't push them too hard, too tight they will fight to the death because there is no way out, but just leave them an opening... After all, there are people who want to live. ”

Hearing this, Bai Ma was not as bright as before, because some of her father's teachings were shining, but she suddenly thought a little lonely, could it be that her father was only interested in saying these words to herself because he did not have a son?

After all, he is a tool that can be pushed out and used for marriage, not an heir that his father can cultivate, whether it is his throne or his ideals and persistence.

It's ironic.

……

Gu Huai, who kept coughing, forcibly stabilized his body and told Chen Ping beside him: "Pass the order, don't save!" The rest of the grenades must be thrown as fast as possible! ”

Chen Ping was a little distressed, once the grenade ran out, it meant that there was no means to break through, and it meant that there was no way out for these hundreds of horsemen to survive after being encircled... But after all, he still didn't dare to disobey the military order: "Yes! ”

Turning his distress into strength, he raised his hand, and the guards behind him took out the grenades one by one with neat movements, and prepared the fire fold with the other hand.

It's a pity that the number of grenades is still not enough, so the guards in the front row can only hold them, and the guards in the back just silently raise their weapons.

When the front group of guards threw out the grenades, it was time for them to go, and Gu Huai had ordered before that they must rush out of a gap when the royal court cavalry was in chaos.

Gu Huai, who was already burned in a daze, felt a little sad in his heart, he knew that with this rush, there would not be many of these hundreds of guards left to survive, but at the moment, there was really no way.

Fortunately, he found the traces of the royal cavalry in advance, so that the Ming army could charge first, but Gu Huai wanted annihilation, not victory, so he took his personal guards to take such a risk.

It doesn't matter which side of the charge in the middle of the horse is handed over, whether it is the cavalry of the Yan Army or the Duoyan Sanwei, let them come is to send them to death, and those who can't use grenades will only be trapped by death, and then trapped and can't get out again.

As for the tactics of the front army's sneak attack from the side, Gu Huai also considered it, but the troops were too small, if they concentrated a little charge, with the open terrain like the grassland, the Mongols had time to react, even if the grenade could open the way, it would not cause too many casualties to the royal cavalry.

Only in this way can the guards launch a suicidal charge, let this bag be closed, and explode from the middle, so that they can be crushed in one fell swoop!

If you want to be greedy, you will be greedy! As long as all these royal cavalry die here, and the news spreads, all the eyes of the front line will be attracted back to the grassland, and Gu Huai will not believe that they will abandon their tribe and continue to act recklessly on the Daming rivers and mountains!

There is no absolute goal in this rushing war, whether it is those tribes that sent troops or the southern king Su Keqi, or even these royal court cavalry, Gu Huai has only one thing to do from beginning to end, that is, to let Wara retreat, let the chaos in Datong stabilize, no matter how to fight the battle of Jingyan in the Ming Dynasty, it is also the Ming people's own business, not the Mongols can interfere.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and it had reached the land of a stone's throw, and as a general raised his hand, the royal cavalry on the horse raised their bows and arrows.

Gu Huai raised a hand: "Standing shield!" ”

The guards all picked up their shields from the side of the horse and held them high above the top, only to see the royal court cavalry shouting in unison, and the dense arrows shot into the sky like black clouds, drawing an arc, accompanied by a piercing scream, and fell towards the charging Ming cavalry.

It's still the usual method... At this distance, there is no army in the world that can compete with the nomadic cavalry, and for hundreds of years, it is this kind of cavalry and archery that has made the Central Plains once reduced to a foreign pasture!

The sound of clanging sounded, and a dense number of arrows hit the shield, and in just a volley, more than a dozen people were hit by arrows, and many more fell to the ground because of the arrows on their horses, and then they were trampled down by the horses' hooves.

Such an intuitive and rapid attrition made Chen Ping's eyes red, and he looked at Gu Huai beside him: "My lord... It's time to throw it away! ”

"It's not enough!" Gu Huai's voice was extremely cold, "Pull closer!" ”

Chen Ping, who has been accustomed to grenade opening the way and cavalry charging, has not fought this kind of frontal charge for a long time, watching his comrades die of arrows one by one, these are all soldiers he personally recruited, and they are his carefully trained subordinates who eat and sleep together, Chen Ping can't help it anymore, he can't bear to look at it anymore.

Although I have seen too much cruelty on the battlefield, no one can get used to the people close to them dying like a weed.

But what filled the hearts of Gu Huai Chen Ping and those who were still alive was not fear, but anger.

Angry Mongol salvo, angry that there is no way to resist, angry ... Why is this part of the road so long?

This anger was drowned out a moment later, because of the second round of arrows... It's here.

It is inevitable that there will be a personal guard with a grenade and an arrow, Gu Huai's heart sank, and now every time there is a grenade, there is a little more danger.

However, this was a risk that the cavalry charge must take, and how to close the last distance of this charge was a problem that all generals and commanders wanted to solve.

However, there is no choice but to thicken the armor, arm the shield, or... Fill it with human life.

Hundreds of people charged against thousands of people, this kind of scene may have appeared in the history of Chinese warfare, but in the grassland, it is the first time.

It was not that the Mongol cavalry was moved, but more often than not, when the arm strength was restored, they immediately raised their bows.

The third round of salvos, the fourth round, and when the soldiers at the front can't shoot their bows, the remaining Ming cavalry... has rushed to the front of the eye.

And the price was for the soldiers who fell behind, the Ming who died either by arrows or by the hooves of horses.

Pulling out the long sword from his waist, looking at the Mongolian cavalry who were already approaching, seeing that they had begun to prepare to launch a counter-charge, and watching the military formations on both sides slowly move closer to the middle, Gu Huai waved his sword: "Kill!" ”

The remaining more than 300 guards roared in unison, the fire fold lit up, the fuse ignited, and all the guards used their strength to eat, and the grenade in their hands drew a beautiful parabola and fell into the military formation of the royal court cavalry in front.

A series of explosions rang out, and even though they had been instructed to know that Akito had such a terrible weapon, when the grenade exploded in the crowd again, they still... Confused.

Imagine that a black iron ball that you have never seen before falls from the sky and falls on your side, and the fuse is almost burning to the bottom, even if you are lucky enough not to be hit on the head by this iron ball, but watching the lead gradually disappear, you will still have a sense of fear in your heart.

Then there is a huge explosion, the air wave will spread out, knocking people off the horse, even if you stabilize your body, but the horse under you will be frightened by the explosion, will not obey your orders, and will desperately try to escape from the place.

If you're unlucky enough to explode a grenade right next to you, the terrifying power will either directly dismember you or blow you away, either of which will indirectly kill you on the battlefield.

And the royal court cavalry is facing such a situation, what is the scene where more than a hundred grenades burst at the same time in the dense military formation? Flesh and blood flying, the sound shook the sky, the air waves rolled, and the crumbs flew.

A gap quickly appeared in the originally tight military formation, and everyone could not control their horses, and the royal court cavalry who were lucky enough not to be killed were either thrown off their horses or dizzy by the sound of this noise, and this kind of riot was not only in the front army, but even affected the rear army.

The speed of the Ming war horse, which was accustomed to this kind of sound, did not decrease, and it slammed into the royal court cavalry formation that had been messed up.

The leading guards had already faced the bewildered Mongolian cavalry, they raised their knives, they gritted their teeth and slashed hard!

Knowing the impact of the grenade, the Ming cavalry did not line up in a sharp cone to break through the formation, but chose a line of side-by-side charging queues, which brought the advantage of a neat flashing of sword light, and the royal court cavalry at the forefront were hit hard.

Not all of them have that quality, they can keep their composure in the face of the power of the grenade, and shoot back, almost all of the royal court cavalry fell into a strange posture, as if...

Lambs to the slaughter.
