Chapter 230: Zhu Yuanzhang is also an ordinary soldier, a good son with iron bones, and the Great Wall of flesh and blood protects the family and country!

Under the sun,

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and General Chen raised their heads to the sky at the same time to pull their bows like a full moon, and at the same time released the bowstring that they had pulled to the limit.

And the arrows shot by the three of them quickly merged into this round of arrow rain.

Not bad

General Chen, who was the commander-in-chief of the defense of the east gate of Yanmen Pass, immediately picked up the bow and arrow after issuing the military order, and became an ordinary city defense archer at this moment.

Not only General Chen, but even Mao Xiang, the actual commander of the Zhengsanpin Jinyi Guard, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the actual founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also became the most ordinary city defense archers at this moment.

For no other reason,

It's just that there aren't many so-called arrows, that is, two thousand arrows are counted in a full shot.

There is no way, 3,000 soldiers are arrayed outside the city, and after deducting the artillery and crossbow beds, there are only 2,000 people on the city wall who draw bows to the sky, and this is still the number of all the generals.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, this Northern Yuan army led by Genghis Khan's Tatar Department can be said to be very brave.

The 10,000-foot cavalry army attacked in formation, even if it launched a charge, it was not chaotic at all, and it was still its own advantageous formation.

Even after the artillery fire, even if there were only 2,000 embarrassed infantry cavalry left, they still attacked as fiercely as steppe wolves.

In the face of them, this so-called arrow rain blockade has only one chance, because after a round of arrow rain, the people who are not dead will run into the contradictory horse rejection array.

Even if there is no engagement, it is the distance that is about to be engaged!

This kind of salvo shooting in the sky, using a parabola to increase the range of the bow and arrow, has no accuracy at all, it is a cluster of consumption, and it is a kind of luck.

If you're lucky, you can consume more, and if you're unlucky, you can consume less!

If they were too close to their own soldiers, there was a chance that such a rain of arrows would kill their own people by mistake!

When Zhu Yuanzhang put down the strong bow in his hand, he couldn't help but have a touch of 'admiration' in his eyes.

A net of arrows rained down, and hundreds of people fell to the ground, but the remaining more than 1,000 paces rode without hesitation to step on the corpse of the same clan and continue to charge, even before they could breathe, they did not hesitate to step on it!

Of course, at this time, there is no time to judge whether to choke or not, so you can only default to the corpse if you fall to the ground!

"Cannons and arrows killed more than eighty percent of them, but they also created these real 'steppe wolves'!"

After General Chen and Mao Xiang heard such a sentence, they immediately understood the true meaning of the three words 'steppe wolf' in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

Wolves are ferocious beasts and devoid of humanity, which is an absolute derogatory term!

But at the same time, it's also the biggest compliment to them!

The wolf is a strong and tough animal, a symbol of their bravery, patience and tenacity!

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that in the historical materials, Genghis Khan created a unique cavalry unit held by his successor, that is, the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry!

It can be said that they plundered wantonly and were cruel and murderous, but it can absolutely not be said that their military discipline was lax.

On the contrary, they endure hardships and do not covet comfort, and they are so disciplined and absolutely obedient to orders that they give the impression that they were made for war.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in front of him, but his eyes jumped slightly, and the killing intent in his eyes burst out.

"Ye Qing is right, we must completely convince them."

"If one Northern Expedition is not enough, it will be twice, and if two times is not enough, it will be three times, and they can't be allowed to recuperate, and they can't be allowed to temper a Genghis Khan in the midst of attacking each other!"

“.”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and made up his mind, he heard a voice that was enough to make him feel secure as an emperor.

Two hundred steps outside the city, whether it was the soldiers in the contradictory horse rejection array, or the sword and shield soldiers behind them, their eyes were scarlet, the tips of their noses trembled, and their killing intent was soaring.

The average of these 3,000 Yamen garrisons is no more than 20 years younger, and less than half of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and the other half are the children of military families who came up after their fathers and brothers died in battle.

The system at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was like this, as long as the founding of the country was set as a military household, it would be a military household for generations, unless the male died!

These recruits who have not yet killed anyone are scared, even if they are wearing the best armor of the moment, and they are usually well-trained and well-fed, but they are still afraid.

But now they are not afraid!

Because they are the border garrisons who protect their hometowns, and they are also a hot-blooded sons and daughters with strong blood!

How can a nation with a long history and culture, which has always been proud of the world, lose to the enemy in courage?

"Brother, if I die in battle, don't be afraid to step on my corpse!"

"Even if I don't die, as long as I fall to the ground, you will step on me and kill the enemy, and I will help you hold the legs of those wolf cubs!"

"I'm afraid of a fart, it's a big deal that I'll be a good man again in eighteen years!"

"They are brave, we are braver, they are fierce, we are more fierce, they are not afraid of death, we are even more afraid of death!"

"Kill !!"

The three thousand soldiers roared neatly, directly startling the birds on the mountains on both sides!

The breath exhaled by the three thousand soldiers because of the roar actually made the dust rise under their feet!

After the dust settled, I saw a thousand shield soldiers all lunging, with shields on their shoulders, and this iron shield was a steel city wall.

And the bracket of this steel city wall is a thousand hot-blooded sons and daughters who are bleeding the blood of the Chinese Han Dynasty.

At the same time, a thousand spearmen had already clenched their spears with both hands, and pierced nearly half of the gap in front of their shields.

And behind them, a thousand sword and shield soldiers are also ready for melee combat.

Each of them took a step, holding a round shield in front of him in his left hand and a sword in his right hand towards the sky, all blades forward.

And their eyes at this moment also looked in the direction of the blade, and their eyes were as sharp as the blade that flashed with knife light!

Thirty steps before the contradiction rejection of the horse,

There are no horses, and they have been reduced to infantry. Ullihan, despite his torn armor and several flesh wounds, still charged with a mace.

He just looked at the Beiyuan soldiers on the left and right, there were roughly more than 1,000 infantry and more than 300 light cavalry left, and half of them were wounded soldiers who still had the strength to fight.

He just glanced at the cannons on the city wall, and then roared almost like a roar: "Dayuan Iron Cavalry, kill!" ”

A 'Dayuan Iron Cavalry' made these Tatar cavalry, who were mainly descendants of Genghis Khan, feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Looking at the sharp spears that stretched out their shield arrays more than a meter long, they were not only not afraid, but also waved their horsewhips for the last time.

More than 300 light cavalry distributed horizontally, after gritting their teeth and whipping the horse's buttocks with a leather whip, decisively threw away the horsewhip and drew their own scimitars.

At this moment, they regarded themselves as heavy cavalry breaking formations!

Of course, they also know that the light cavalry does the heavy cavalry, which means that there is death and no life!

But they still move forward, just to reoccupy the rich Central Plains, which is rich in products and livable climate, just so that their people don't have to travel thousands of miles to the big lake to spend the winter every cold winter!

Even though they knew that they were committing a thief's thing, an unjust act of military aggression!

I only heard a muffled bang, and the first cavalry who ran into the contradictory horse rejection formation, directly connected with the horse's neck and led people, all of them were pierced by spears, but this pair of contradictory combination soldiers was also directly knocked upside down.

Immediately after, there was a continuous crashing sound, and a continuous scream of people and horses!

Not only were there people and horses who were pierced on the spot, but there were also Beiyuan light cavalry who were sent in by inertia while the horses were pierced, and there were not a few!

They fought desperately, but they all died at the hands of the sword and shield soldiers.

But at this moment, the contradictory repulsion formation after being desperately charged by the three hundred light cavalry has been seriously deformed, and there is no longer any need to exist.

At this moment, it is a melee combat that kills whatever you have.

Although the contradictory rejection of the horse formation is no longer rejecting the horse, it is a combination of contradictions, and it is very tacit to kill the enemy!

And the sword and shield soldiers also rushed to the ground battlefield, they had only one purpose, that is, they resolutely not let a drop of the blood of the Northern Yuan people be squandered on this city wall.

On the city wall, all the soldiers clenched their fists, eager to rush down to help their brothers.

Especially the archers, they are even more eager to use their bows and arrows to help, but they dare not help, not to mention that they can't do accurate kills in 200 steps, and they are really indistinguishable from each other.

I only heard the swords and soldiers colliding, only heard the shouts and killings, and only saw the blood sprinkled all over the sky, and the blood splashed on the black armor of the Northern Yuan soldiers, and also on the silver armor of the Yanmen soldiers!

Fortunately, the armor of the Yanmen Arsenal was good, which saved their lives at a critical moment.

The scimitar slashed across their waists, but it only slashed out sparks all the way, which seemed thrilling, but in fact it was harmless!

But no matter how powerful the armor is, it is not absolute protection, there are always places that cannot be prevented, not to mention that some people are not a scimitar, but a blunt weapon that will vomit blood when smashed!

In the battlefield, the closest place to Zhu Yuanzhang,

A big man from the Northern Yuan swept with a blow with a hammer, hitting a sword and shield soldier directly in the chest and abdomen, so much so that after he spat out a mouthful of blood, he took several steps backwards.

Because of this, he seems to be out of the battlefield.

But at this moment, a Northern Yuan infantry with a bloody face rushed over.

The spear pierced him in the abdomen, and blood flowed outwards like a spring.

This young soldier, who had long since lost his sword and shield, his eyes were not only blood-red but also bulging outward, and he hated and hurt to the extreme.

But his gaze was still unwavering, and after he just laughed, he gritted his teeth that were oozing blood, and opened his arms directly, allowing the spear to penetrate his body.

Finally, he hugged the Beiyuan infantry who pierced his body!

"Ahh

He just let out a loud shout, and then used all his strength to push this Northern Yuan infantry back.

At this moment, he only remembered his mission, that is, not to let an enemy rush through the distance of two hundred steps outside the city.

Finally, he completed his mission, and he closed his eyes with a smile.

At this moment, he was still tightly hugging the body of the Northern Yuan infantryman, and his hands were clasped with ten fingers behind his back.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was accustomed to battlefield fighting, also felt that his nose was a little sour.

"Okay!"

"It's all good!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang secretly praised him, the swords and soldiers no longer collided, and the shouting and killing did not continue.

Because except for one station, the son who can't stand steadily. Outside of Ulihan, there is no longer a living Northern Yuan Bu Rider!.

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
