Chapter 350: Battle of the Tartars (2)
On the battlefield, Liu Yan led more than 60,000 soldiers of the new army in Qinglai Town to advance like a wall, and the boundless new army array swept across the battlefield, dispersed countless routs, and let those routs and people who could still stay awake retreat to both sides along the new army array, and then go around to the rear of the army.
And those who had been carried away by fear, and only knew how to rush forward into the main formation of the new army, were all killed by rounds of bird salvos.
"Run!"
There was another roar of birds, and a rout who saw the opportunity quickly roared, and everyone around them fled in all directions, but then a large number of them were shot down.
At this time, the smoke and dust were billowing in front, and countless cavalry of the New Army rushed towards this side, and a large number of routs who had escaped from the volley of birds had already panicked, and actually rushed towards the soldiers of the cavalry battalion.
At this time, those routed soldiers could already see the fiery red churning Ming army battle flags, fiery red armor, and blood-red horse sideburns.
Then there was a roar of birds, like popping beans, suddenly sounding, white smoke rose up, and in the countless screams, those routs were killed and wounded.
The iron cavalry soldiers of the new army in Qinglai Town were merciless in the face of those routs, and all the routs and people who stood in the way were either knocked out of the way by a large number of healthy horses, or killed by their birds, spears and other weapons!
A large number of cavalry battalion soldiers rushed past the routs and civilians who had already run to the sides, roaring angrily to speed up the charge, and the iron cavalry soldiers in the first few rows quickly inserted the empty guns back into the saddle sleeves, and pulled out another bird gun. Then these cavalry soldiers, under the leadership of Dong Yun, the commander of the left department, rushed towards the hundreds of Qing cavalry not far away.
Looking at the armor of those Tartar soldiers, it should be the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the White Flag, and I saw that those Tartar soldiers were all exposed armor leaves, shining silver in the sun. They all have flames on their backs, and their helmets are high red tassels, and they are actually one-color Baya soldiers!
Several of them had slanted flags on their backs, and they were supposed to be the little leaders of Bayara. Among them, there was a middle-aged strong man, wearing heavy armor, with a huge heart guard on his chest, and holding a banner in his hand.
Seeing this, Dong Yun couldn't help but admire his good luck, because he knew that at this time, according to the regulations of the Qing army, the generals below the owners of each banner were personally holding the flags, and people tended to move according to their direction. If you send troops, at least Jialazhangjing will have a banner, otherwise you will have to allocate Shiku or something, only ordinary triangular hypotenuse flags.
The hundreds of Tartar soldiers on the opposite side were the most elite soldiers and horses of the Qing army, and the belligerent factor stirred in Dong Yun's body, and then he shouted: "All the birds are ready, kill the slaves!" ”
Then the more than 3,000 cavalry battalion soldiers behind Dong Yun instantly changed formations, Dong Yun led a thousand soldiers to attack head-on, and the other 2,000 soldiers were outflanked from both sides, and the three thousand soldiers marched together and pounced on the hundreds of elite Qing troops.
At this time, the Qing army was led by the Manchurian White Banner Baya Jialazhangjing, this person's name is Enhai, who has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and is a famous warrior of the Qing Dynasty.
At the age of eighteen, Eun Hae was selected as a soldier of Bayara, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of pursuit battle since he joined the army.
From time to time, he rode behind the rout, stabbed a shot, or slashed a knife, which could make those routs lose their lives and flee with all his strength.
At this time, Enhai was holding the white flag of Baya Laying Jiala Zhangjing in his left hand, and a tiger spear nearly nine feet long in his right hand. The blade of the Tiger Spear was nine inches long, and there were several blood grooves on the blade. The blades of the spear rose one after another, and the color was deep red at this time, and I don't know how much enemy blood I had drunk.
Nearly half of the barrel of the tiger gun has an iron pipe connected to the head and shaft, close to the blade sleeve, and there is a section of antlers on the left and right. Droops two long strips of leather, which is to prevent the target from piercing too deep and injuring yourself.
After all, this tiger gun was originally designed to fight tigers. The blade is like a knife. The spear is very sharp, even if the tiger and bear are fierce and the skin and bones are tough, they can also pierce with one blow. Therefore, it is necessary to have a small piece of antler stick on the left and right sides of the blade.
After the rise of Manchuria. Tiger guns are mostly used in battlefield battle formations, and tiger gun battalions are established one by one. Those who can use tiger spears are mostly warriors with outstanding banners, and most of them are heavily armored and bayala.
In addition, Enhai's saddle also has a number of iron bones, like small copper hammers pierced with spikes, like a small version of the mace, designed to deal with the target's heavy armor and shield, thrown out, the target is all shattered.
Although Enhai held a flag in his left hand and a gun in his right hand at this time, he was skilled in horsemanship, and he did not need both hands, but only needed waist and leg strength to control the horses. The same is true of the hundreds of Baya soldiers beside Enhai, most of whom are equipped with tiger guns, and only a few of them use long-handled knives. The knife was narrow and curved, with a blade and a rod, nearly seven feet long, and if it was struck, it would be halved by the man and the horse.
Because of the way they were trained, the Manchurian cavalry was mostly strong on their feet and made good use of big bows. Horse shooting, but not as good as the Mongols, although many people can also turn left and right, left and shoot right, but still used to dismount and fight.
Ahead, Dong Yun led 3,000 cavalry battalion soldiers to rush over, and Enhai was also heartbroken, pursuing the Ming army all the way to here, and finally encountered a decent enemy iron cavalry.
I only heard the sound of hooves like thunder in front of me, and then the sound of guns was loud, and the Ming army in front of them broke down one by one.
Enhai had just led hundreds of Bayala Iron Cavalry to charge, preparing to hedge against the thousands of Ming troops. But at this time, when he saw the sound of the fire gun, he couldn't help but be stunned, and saw that in the white smoke of the fire gun in front of him, a fierce and vicious Ming State iron rider rushed out. They all wore hats and helmets, red clothes and red armor, and even their horses and sideburns were dyed blood-red, and they were all murderous, and their eyes flashed with bloody and cold light from time to time.
Many Bayala iron horsemen were also taken aback when they saw this, and they wanted to take out their riding bows and launch a salvo, but they were stopped by Enhai's roar, and those Ming iron horsemen were all wearing iron armor, and even the key parts of the war horses were covered with iron armor, and the arrows shot in a hurry were useless to them. For them, the elite armorers, only throwing weapons such as javelins and bones are useful.
In just an instant, the generals on both sides were roaring, and the two iron cavalry armies were rapidly approaching.
Enhai led his troops to form a front arrow formation, with him and a few Bayala Zhuangda as the lead, and several layers of elite Bayala soldiers behind him, with fifty people on each wing. One by one, they took out the iron bones hanging from the saddle, and held the javelins, axes and other weapons in their hands.
Looking at the iron cavalry of the new army in Qinglai Town on the opposite side, the front and both wings rushed at the same time, and three thousand soldiers roared and rushed over.
Enhai's eyes are as sharp as eagles, and they have been through the battlefield. What scene haven't you seen? Although the elite of the Ming army is overwhelming, they are determined to die with confidence, but they will not be afraid, after all, what kind of Ming army has not seen, with the strength of hundreds of Bayala iron horses, not to mention thousands of Ming army iron horses, even if it is tens of thousands of Ming troops, they dare to lead their troops to attack.
"Kill Nikan!"
"Kill all the Tartars!"
The soldiers and horses on both sides were roaring, the smoke and dust of the two iron cavalry armies were billowing in smoke, and the iron hooves of the cavalry on both sides slammed heavily on the ground, making a chilling dull sound.
In an instant, the birds of the new army's iron cavalry army in Qinglai Town roared loudly again, and those white flags and baya lamas threw their javelins, iron bones and other weapons with great force.
The two flanks were the first to engage, and the first platoon of cavalry of the new army in Qinglai Town was the first to contact the enemy, and layers of iron cavalry soldiers continued to sweep and shoot, and a handful of bird guns continued to burst into flames, and then turned into smoke and quickly dispersed backwards.
In order to increase its power, the caliber of the new army's bird guns in Qinglai Town is larger than that of the infantry birds, and although the range is not as far as the bird guns used by the infantry, they can break through heavy armor at close range. One by one, the thick lead bullets tore through the expensive armor leaves on their outside, then pierced through the cotton armor inside the armor leaves, and finally broke through their innermost chain mail and crashed into their bodies.
After the lead bullet rolled in the body, the wound met the air, and the strong pressure in the body caused the blood in the body to turn into blood arrows and spurt out, and they screamed and fell backwards and fell off the horse.
However, these bayalas were very skilled, and many of them were good at dodging, and some of them only hit their horses with buckshot. The horses were shot, let out a long scream, and jumped and rolled, throwing the horsemen off their horses.
When the two sides made contact in the first wave, several white flags on both wings threw their flying axes, iron bones and other weapons, and with the help of horses, they were accurate and ruthless.
A cavalryman of the new army in Qinglai Town, as soon as he fired a gun and knocked a Bayala off his horse, he saw a thing suddenly coming towards him, and his strength was very strong, but it was an iron bone.
He subconsciously raised the round shield of his left arm and swept it, and with a "boom", the round shield was torn apart, and under the violent force, the cavalry was also unstable and rolled off the horse at once.
There was also a cavalryman of the new army in Qinglai Town, before he could open his gun, a javelin shot in the face, this cavalry did not have time to dodge, was out of the chest, and planted a war horse.
Although the white flags on both flanks fought desperately and constantly threw their weapons, they were outnumbered and outnumbered.
Whenever they threw a weapon, or before they could do so, several birdshots were fired at them. Under the condition that the elite level of both sides was about the same, the cavalry battalion soldiers fought more and fought less, and constantly caused casualties to the Qing army's iron cavalry.
A tiger-backed bear-waisted Baya roared unwillingly, threw his beloved tiger spear hard, and pierced a cavalry company of the new army in Qinglai Town, more than ten paces on the right. But then, a blood flower shot out from his neck guard, which seemed to be dense, and with the sound of the gun, streams of blood mist shot out from all over his chest and abdomen.
Bayala opened his mouth and roared, but he couldn't make a sound, he was shot in the neck, his trachea leaked, he wanted to roar, only to let the blood in his neck spray faster. In the end, Bayala was angry and unwilling, so he planned to die straight at once.
There are fewer and fewer Bayala soldiers on both flanks of the Qing army's front and arrow array, and the cavalry of the new army in Qinglai Town, which swept from both wings, in addition to striking the Qing soldiers and horses on both wings, also constantly shoots at the Baya cavalry in the middle of the front and arrow array.
"Kill Nikan!"
At this time, Enhai looked at the situation on the battlefield, couldn't help but be angry, roaring loudly, holding a flag in one hand and a tiger spear in the other, he and a few Bayala Zhuangda, as well as a few of the strongest Baya soldiers in the team, took the lead, forming the front end of the front of the arrow formation, and behind him, it was a formation that slowly opened to both sides.
The iron hooves were churning, the sound of heavy war horses was intertwined, and the cavalry of the new army in Qinglai Town on the opposite side was also roaring and rolling.
Both sides were not afraid, and both had the courage to fight to the death.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides entered within twenty steps, and the Ming army on the opposite side rang out like a bean, and strands of white smoke and fire came out.
There were also two wings of the Ming army also fired bullets, some Bayala and war horses in the formation were shot, and even two strong men rolled under the horses. Enhae's horse was also shot, and he deftly jumped on another horse beside him and continued to charge with his flag.
Some baya roared beside Enhai, and threw a wave of javelins and iron bones with force, and some cavalry of the new army in Qinglai Town screamed and fell off their horses. Especially those strong people, the javelins and throwing axes that shot over almost all hit the target.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had rushed to the front, and almost all the cavalry officers and soldiers of the new army in Qinglai Town threw away their empty birds, pulled out their cavalry guns, and rushed viciously.
The iron cavalry roared, the dull crash of the war horses, and the terrible howls of the soldiers and horses on both sides sounded.
Enhai held a flag in his left hand and a gun in his right, his legs tightly clasped around the horse's belly, and his hips hung from the saddle. He aimed at an oncoming, stout cavalryman of the new army in Qinglai Town. Seeing him rushing with a spear and roaring, Eun Hae also roared and rode his horse to meet him.
In an instant, Enhai shouted, and the tiger spear in his hand stabbed out, and at the same time, the new army commander of Qinglai Town stabbed at the spear.
The two horses intersected, blood splashed, and at the moment of lightning, Enhai's figure was slightly sideways. The spear of the cavalry of the new army in Qinglai Town stabbed close to his left arm, bringing out a mist of blood, and Enhai's left arm was instantly injured, and a sharp pain that pierced the heart came, making Enhai sweat like rain.
However, Enhai's tiger spear slammed into the chest of the armor chief with a sneer, and stabbed it all the way to the blade of the spear, and a short piece of antlers on the left and right. Even so, the blade of the tiger spear was extremely long, and it almost came out of the body.
Cavalry duels are far more cruel than infantry, requiring not only courage and combat skills, but also rich experience and keen prediction. Because the speed of the war horses on both sides is fast, the difference is the end of death.
Some people died, but not completely......
