Chapter 369 Appearance
Outside the dense forest, on the side of the ancient road, a guerrilla battalion of the Beichen Empire inspecting the Beiyuan cavalry was walking slowly.
This is a well-equipped army, covered in soap-clothed cotton armor, with cotton clothes inside and iron armor inlaid in the middle, which is both warm and protective.
The proportion of firearms in the hands has reached half, which is rare in the inland army, and on both sides are sword players and pikemen, but they use long lances, which have a variety of functions such as stabbing, splitting, chopping, hooking, and picking.
In addition to firearms, there are the most mechanical repeaters, almost to the point of having one hand, and all kinds of mechanical repeaters of different sizes are scattered in all positions of the entire marching procession.
Walking in the middle of the procession were large carts, with only one-tenth of the grain on them, and the rest were gunpowder, arrows, crossbows, and other items. Each vehicle is evenly distributed, and can be used in the nearest battle as soon as there is a battle.
The only deficiency in the team is the trauma plaster, unlike the team of Jiulian Villa, almost everyone has to bring several bottles, only wealthy families or generals have some.
As a result, the largest number of losses in the army are not during the battle, but after the battle. Knife wounds, arrow wounds, and even broken arms and short legs can still howl for a long time.
Fortunately, he was treated by the doctors who came up after the war, but unfortunately, he kept screaming until he could no longer speak.
The procession kept moving at a constant pace, and every quarter of an hour several heralds galloped back and forth on horseback, shouting orders to convey orders.
The fast horses galloped, splashing countless dust, and in the neighing of the war horses, thousands of arrows suddenly came in unison in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, with the unique chirping sound of the grassland eagle archers.
The neat ranks were suddenly attacked, and immediately began to disperse in formation.
The sword players on both sides pressed their shields closer together, and a wall of steel with a wooden bottom and iron gradually solidified after a period of chaos.
A sound came to an abrupt halt in front of the iron shield wall, and it fell weakly, but more shot into the flesh inside the shield wall.
The screams were accompanied by shouting.
No one cared about the people who fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows, and they were desperately hiding themselves behind the shield wall, quietly waiting for the end of the arrow attack.
Due to the unanimous blockade of the steppe peoples in the Central Plains, the weapons and equipment of the Northern Yuan Empire were somewhat backward.
Although they also knew about the existence of firearms and actively organized their production, it would take many years for them to be put into actual combat on such a large scale as the Beichen Empire.
This led to the fact that the Beichen Empire's current combat method against the Beiyuan Empire was to first resist the attack of arrows and crossbows, and then carry out intensive attacks with firearms, infantry advances, and arrows and crossbows are harvested.
The same is true today, the Northern Yuan cavalry attacked after three salvos of arrows and crossbows.
The first row is an unmanned ox and camel, with some armor on their bodies, although the majority of them are green tung armor, but the price is low, the production is simple, and the unmanned riding can be very thick and only covers the body of the ox and camel, so the defense is also good.
Among them, there will be some Northern Yuan cavalry added during the period, they are only responsible for driving these animals, and in addition to the long whip in their hands, they are long spears.
The second row is the serious Beiyuan cavalry, and dense figures appear in the mountains and forests, but the soldiers of the Beichen Empire first have to face the power of livestock.
As soon as the cavalry appeared, it galloped quickly, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was in the vast prairie, and the more than 300,000 troops in the country were all cavalry, without the formation of infantry, and the speed of movement was amazing, and at the same time, they could only rack their brains to think about how to use cavalry to fight on various terrains.
Seeing that the Beiyuan cavalry began to charge, the soldiers of the Beichen Empire immediately stretched out their firearms, some with one eye and some with three eyes, all aiming outward.
With a shout, the fire bolt was fired, and a large number of projectiles were fired into the team of livestock in the dense smoke and dust visible to the naked eye.
All kinds of chaotic sounds immediately remembered, the Beichen soldiers each took back their firearms to recharge, the Beiyuan cavalry also neighed and barked, and the livestock in the front row fell to the ground a lot, and the strong vitality was still struggling, and they continued to trip over many other livestock. Keep your books in stock
The roaring Northern Yuan cavalry rushed in before they had time to see it, and anyone who tripped and fell could only accept their fate except wailing.
Beichen's firearms were loaded and raised, and the Beiyuan cavalry also shot deadly arrows, and many people and animals fell on both sides immediately.
The people in the Northern Yuan cavalry team turned over on their backs, and rolled down the mountain under the hooves of the cavalry in the rear, and the meat balls were spread all over the ground.
Immediately, many of the shields in Beichen's ranks were torn, the officers screamed and set up, and the soldiers screamed and crawled to the ground to the safety of the interior, and in a little later they would also fall under the hooves of the horses.
After the second round of fighting, it was too late to reload a round of firearms, and countless spears and lances stretched out from the shield array along the traces of training, and those dropped firearms lay at their feet, and were pulled back from the soles of their feet by the other soldiers to reload.
And overhead, the arrows fired by some crossbowmen were exchanged against the arrows of the Northern Yuan cavalry.
The hooves of the Beiyuan cavalry finally stepped on the top of the heads of the Beichen soldiers.
The guns forced the war horses to neigh, and the hands of the Beichen soldiers who were blowing the majestic war horses were trembling.
Under the fierce shouts of the officers, the soldiers roared and stabbed the spears in their hands, and the spears and sabers of the cavalry were slashed on the shields and slashed on the barrels of the guns.
The whole front was staging such bloody battles, and from time to time a high-ranking man with internal force gushing up jumped high, but was beaten by arrows, crossbows and firearms, and fell covered in blood.
Finally, some people were unwilling to consume it like this, and a Beiyuan man wearing a felt hat and holding a scimitar jumped out of the mountains and forests, and a long knife qi slashed straight down.
The sword qi shot, and Beichen's team was "a master, a master of the Beiyuan people." The screams filled everywhere.
Although most of the people in the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not understand, there were many people who did, and immediately many people shouted loudly, and the morale of both sides was clearly distinguished from the rise and fall.
Just when the people of Beiyuan were happy, a person also flew out of Beichen's team, and a cold sword qi flew out with a flick of the long sword.
The sword qi and sword qi collided and disappeared into invisibility, but the majestic momentum and the inspired qi wave knocked all the nearby soldiers away, whether it was Beiyuan or Beichen, all fell into the positions in all directions, and the lucky ones retreated in embarrassment under the cover of their comrades, and the unlucky ones died with a whimper.
One blow failed, and another blow came, and the figure of the Beiyuan man flashed, and at the same time, there were his words in a thick Tatar tone, "Wuji Old Dao, what are you blindly mixing with our war with Beichen!"
"Kumulu, you wolf dwelling in Xu Mountain disregard the common people in the world, recklessly acting, so that the lives are ruined, this way is the way of heaven, how can you sit idly by. ”
"If you do the way for heaven, I will destroy your heaven and destroy your way. ”
"How daring. ”
The two of them didn't say a few words, and immediately fought in mid-air, and the surging internal force not only made the arrow crossbow inclose, but also difficult to see.
At the same time, the teams of Beichen and Beiyuan both let out a few sighs at the same time.
"Yang Xiong is right! The Great Empire of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can be underestimated, the four Dharma Protector Hall Protectors, you should also go and help!"
"Yes!" The four elders of Yunling immediately left the hidden place and entered the battle group.
"Hmph! Just a stinky bull-nosed old man! This also wants to kill me. I'm going to fix the grain, and I'm going to fix you. ”
The figure turned and left, no longer paying attention to the battle situation, but gave the order to retreat slowly, but when he left, there were two other people with the same master, but no one else knew.
