Fifty-seventh Timely Retreat

Yang Chengying appeared on the mountain to the north of the valley, quietly watching the charging Houjin Heavy Horseman, a faint smile appeared on his face.

There was no Ming army of "Zu Tianshou" at all, and he sent people to pretend to be.

The reason why he used the banner of Zu Tianshou was only because he knew that Zu Tianshou had escaped and his whereabouts were still unknown, so he could borrow his name.

This time, the site "tailor-made" for Mang Gurtai was a valley in the east, shaped like a gourd, narrow in the west and wide in the east.

Cavalry has two major advantages, one is mobility, and the other is impact power.

The mobility of the heavy rider has been greatly limited due to the natural environment and its own armor. Coupled with this terrain, there is no organic power at all.

As for the impact, Yang Chengying had already thoughtfully set up a well-camouflaged horse rejection array and spread a thick layer of iron thistle on the ground.

took out the old method of dealing with Zhao Yuanliang and showed the horse rejection array, which made Mang Gurtai have the illusion that there was a great mystery in the open space, and he did not dare to exert his full strength.

Even if you exert your full strength, you will be hindered by thistle.

In short, it's called a dilemma.

In the face of the all-out charge of the Houjin heavy cavalry, the pikemen were in full formation, carrying very thick wooden sticks in their arms, one end of the pestle on the ground, and the other end sharpened, aimed at the heavy cavalry.

Behind them, the soldiers of the Water Battalion and the Fire Battalion were all holding throwing guns and ready to throw.

With the experience of the previous time, this time they were noticeably less nervous, clenching their throwing guns and quietly waiting for the order.

"Ready!"

With the order of the main general, the soldiers prepared to move before throwing their guns.

"Put!"

The throwing guns were fired almost simultaneously.

Mang Gurtai, who had not yet arrived at the Horse Rejection Formation, was shocked!

"What the hell is this?"

The spears that fell from the sky pierced the cavalry behind Mang Gurtai.

"Ahh "Ahh

Immediately, there was a scream.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Manggultai gripped his weapon and continued to lunge forward.

When it was almost time to resist the horses, they gradually slowed down until they stopped. Then the cavalry dismounted and moved the rejecting array away.

If you don't move away from the rejection formation, the horses will be damaged. If you get off the horse and become a live target, this difficult choice of two will not be able to defeat these fierce Houjin heavy riders.

When they dismounted, they moved away from the horses, and by the way, they might be able to find suitable cover to avoid the guns.

Moreover, Mang Gurtai found that the opponent had a limited number of guns, so he became even more unscrupulous.

Wait for the repulsion to move away, and start charging again.

This time, they were faced with the thistle terrestris that Yang Chengying had arranged for them.

The horse's hooves were wounded, and the soldiers on horseback fell hard.

But that doesn't stop them either.

Since it is sprinkled on the ground temporarily, there will always be a gap, and there will always be a way out.

Mang Gurtai was in the middle of the army, and he ordered the heavy cavalry in front of him to charge bravely.

The pikemen are getting closer.

Okay, let's go on a killing spree right away!

The hearts of these cavalrymen who were charging forward were already excited.

In the face of the cold light of the spearheads, these cavalry still thought that as before, the Ming army would collapse as soon as they rushed.

The distance was getting closer, and the front-row soldiers on both sides could even see each other's faces clearly.

Then.

"Kill!"

Both sides roared almost simultaneously.

The heavy rider had already raised the butcher's knife in his hand and lunged forward.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Sharpened sticks cannot penetrate heavy armor, but can effectively block cavalry charges.

Just as the follow-up heavy cavalry was about to slash and kill these soldiers with wooden sticks, the spears stabbed!

"Kill!"

Taking advantage of the momentary moment when the heavy cavalry stopped, the pikemen stabbed forward.

In front of the spear, which was not dense, but was two feet longer than the weapon in their hands, any resistance seemed so powerless.

This powerlessness is not only manifested in people, but also in horses.

Each horse had to be shot several times, and no amount of thick armor could withstand such a sharp spear.

That's Mao Yuanyi's supervision, which has high quality requirements.

The horses were damaged, and so did those who rolled off their horses. Either he didn't have time to resist and was stabbed to death, or he resisted, and his weapon was short and he was killed.

The heavy cavalry came in waves like a tidal wave, and the pikemen of the two battalions stood still like towering mountains.

Soon, the earth and the white snow on the ground were dyed bright red and steaming in bursts of heat.

Such an ineffective attack made the heavy cavalry shake.

I don't know who it was, but the first one turned the horse's head, turned around and fled.

Other heavy riders followed suit.

No one in the Ming army was killed, and all the soldiers cheered.

When they retreated, Yang Chengying, who noticed all this at the point station, always remained calm.

He immediately sounded the sound of the flag, as well as the sound of drums, to make the soldiers who had been subjected to the heavy cavalry charge retreat, replacing them with the next wave of soldiers.

The rapid sound of drums and several waving flags made the generals at all levels command the soldiers under their command to immediately make changes.

Mang Gurtai was already very shocked when he saw that the attack was blocked. Seeing the other party change their guard again, there was no trace of clutter, and I was even more shocked.

It's really well trained!

However, there is no way back to retreat, and we can only move forward bravely.

He pointed the spear in his hand to the sky: "If you want to live, charge with me." ”

When the retreating heavy horsemen saw the commander, they had to turn their horses and prepare to charge again.

That's when the unexpected happened.

On the mountain, the sentry Pegasus came to report: "My lord, there is an unknown number of Houjin soldiers out of the city and rushing towards us. ”

"How's the march?" Yang Cheng hurriedly asked.

"It's fast. Except for the generals, who rode horses, the rest were all infantry. ”

"Where's the number of people?"

"Not known, but a lot."

"Oh, I see."

Originally, it was considered that two legs could not run four legs, so the ambush site designed was not far from Gaizhou City.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Now, he is now besieging two thousand heavy cavalry in the nameless valley, which is equivalent to besieging the main force sent by the Houjin to Gaizhou. As long as you eat it in one bite, Gaizhou can basically be recovered.

It's just that he didn't expect that there were capable people in Gaizhou City, and when he found that Mang Gurtai was not coming back for a long time, he immediately went out of the city to help, and pulled all the soldiers and horses out.

What should I do if I can't eat it in one bite? Cold!

Thinking of this, Yang Chengying ordered: "Leave the battlefield quickly, quickly!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Mingjin withdraws his troops.

Hearing the sound of the gong, Mang Gurtai was stunned, is this a retreat?

He looked around nervously, and under the gradually darkening sky, the flags on the mountain were withdrawn.

That's when you trust your own judgment.

"Dismount! Rest ......"

Mang Gurtai was the first to turn over and dismount, stuck his spear on the ground, and gasped for air.

What happened just now made him feel uneasy, and he didn't dare to lead the army forward again.

If you can live, why think.

After a while, the stone at the entrance of the cave was removed.

"Fifth brother!"

The voice of the Derg class rang out.

"Tenth brother, I'm here."

Mang Gurtai responded loudly to his brother's call.

Moments later, the Derg arrived on horseback.

He turned over and dismounted, looked his brother up and down, and said with great surprise: "Fifth brother! You're not hurt, that's great. ”

"Phew! Laugh fart, I've lost a lot this time. ”

"Huh?"

"The point is...... I don't even know who the enemy is. ”

"Ah......h
