Chapter 134: To Each His Own Calculation
The Ning Yuan army and the Jurchen cavalry on the left and right flanks collided together.
Ye Qiu just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention, nearly four years of military career had already made his heart as hard as iron.
The shaft of the spear broke, the horses screamed, and the soldiers screamed...... A symphony of war was played.
The formation of the Ming army was weak, but the spear formation had achieved unexpected results, even Ye Qiu did not expect that the dense spear phalanx would cause such a good hindrance to the cavalry.
Once the sprinting horse approaches the sharp spear blade, it will involuntarily slow down, which is the instinctive nature of animals to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Stab!
Stab!
Stab!
As the team officers and battalion officers gave orders, the spears of the infantry of the Ning Yuan army stabbed forward.
The cry of pain suddenly resounded throughout the earth.
The cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Jurchens were mainly Mongols, most of them were light cavalry, and cavalry shooting and harassment were their forte in warfare...... To be honest, some are not professional enough.
I'm so anxious......
Several Jurchen Baylors who followed Amin to watch the battle couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at this scene from a distance on the hills.
In the face of the hedgehog-like military formation of the Ming army, the best way should be to let the Mongol cavalry harass from the side, the infantry of the Han army banner to attack head-on, and finally let the Jurchen warriors make the final decision.
But Amin seems to be in too much of a hurry, perhaps in a hurry to take revenge!
However, Amin did not think so, he thought that the weak military formation of the Ming army could not withstand the onslaught of his cavalry, as in the past, as long as the cavalry approached, they would scatter in a hurry.
Harassment war, he disdained it.
The most important thing is that he didn't want the Ming army on the other side to be harassed by the cavalry but unable to fight back, so they retreated to the Ming capital, so how could he completely annihilate the Ming army in front of him to save face from being defeated with the blue flag.
He, Amin, not only wants to win, but also to win!
The Mongols are just a group of broken households, and if they die, they will die, and they can still share a little less loot.
Amin's idea also made sense, at least driven by the Jurchen cavalry, the Mongols rushed forward and crashed into the spear formation, and the first layer of the array was destroyed.
One by one, the spears were broken and stuck in the ground, on which hung the corpses of the Mongols.
Some spears and dead horses stood up in support of each other, blood running down the shafts of the spears and converging in pools on the ground.
This scene is like an oil painting describing hell, and a sense of tragedy comes to the face.
There was some commotion in the battle formation of the Ming army, and some timid soldiers wanted to escape, but they were beheaded by Ye Qiu's henchmen, shocking everyone.
Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!
Ye Qiu had already understood this truth.
The flanks were still holding out, and slowly stabilizing the battle line, and more and more corpses and broken spears stuck in the ground became obstacles to the cavalry's charge, and once the sprinting cavalry lost speed, the advantage over the infantry, especially the light cavalry, would be reduced.
A spear more than two meters long kept stabbing and stabbing, and nearly 100 Mongolian soldiers who lost their speed were either crushed or pierced in the head, many people died of anger before they fell to the ground, and more people died after a few twists on the ground, only a few people could still roll, some of them struggled to kick their legs and jumped off their horses, but he was greeted by one or several bright spear blades, the spear blades were inserted into the body, but people could not make a little sound, obviously the pain had reached the extreme.
But there were also cavalrymen who rushed into the spear formation, or fell in, and once the distance was closed, the spearmen's weapons became a burden to them, and they had to be slaughtered by these light cavalry armed with sabers.
On the city tower, the bodies of Ye Xiu and Cao Huachun seemed to be frozen, and they both opened their mouths wide to look at this bloody and tragic battle.
There is no roar of swords, only the muffled sound of spears entering the flesh, and there is no shout of bloody fighting, only slaughter like slaughtering chickens.
The whole spear array is so easy to use?
No, it's still flawed.
For example, defense against ranged attacks, such as one's own ranged attacks, and the inability to resist once approached by an enemy, etc.
Ye Qiu had some ideas in his heart, and he was willing to give it a try, but he had to finish today's battle first.
Although the Mongolian cavalry rushing behind were stunned, but they controlled the horse speed slightly, and did not retreat across the line, following the Jurchens over the years to win the Ming war again and again, so that these Mongolian cavalry also had a huge psychological advantage over the Ming army, although they were blocked, but psychologically they still felt that they could defeat these Ming infantry, and there were Jurchen guards in the rear.
"The Jurchen slaves are really brave, and such a thunderous blow can't destroy their morale. Cao Huachun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and his body trembled slightly.
The infantry formation collapsed layer by layer, but in the process, the Mongol cavalry was also heavily wounded.
Amin slowly raised his hand, it was time for the Chinese army to move, he couldn't believe the Mongols' will to fight.
First, the infantry of the Han army began to move forward layer by layer, and when they were still fifty steps away from the Ming army's central army array, they began to shoot at the Ming army.
The arrows that were thrown out were like two dark clouds converging, and then fell, and one by one the soldiers fell.
The two thousand infantry of Ye Qiuzhong's army, most of whom were Feng Hu's men, were well trained, and they were available in all arms.
Then, the soldiers of the Jurchen Han military banner began to sprint.
The sound of fighting sounded in Ye Qiuzhong's army.
At the same time as the infantry on both sides came into contact, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, like a muffled thunder, which brought tremendous psychological pressure to people.
The Jurchen cavalry began to slowly accelerate, and Amin was among them.
Ning Yuan's army was in the rear, four thousand cavalry stood quietly, and Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai were also riding on horses, looking at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu squinted his eyes and observed Amin's handsome banner surrounded by the Jurchen cavalry in the middle.
Amin had already set out in his nest, leaving not a single reserve behind, apparently preparing to crush the Ming army with one blow.
Isn't that looking down on me too much?!
Ye Qiu sneered in his heart, and the cavalry began to slowly move to the side.
While charging, Amin was still observing the movements of the cavalry in the rear of the Ming army, and when he saw it start to move, he couldn't help but sneer.
Sure enough, it moved.
Ye Qiu's cavalry galloped out of the gap between the left flank and the central army, preparing to flank the Jurchen cavalry.
At this moment, a low horn sounded, and the Mongolian cavalry with both wings rushing into the spear formation of Ningyuan's infantry retreated as if they had been amnestied, like the ebb tide of the sea.
Then the two Mongolian light cavalry began to rush towards the location of Ye Qiu's cavalry.
"Finally lure you out. ”
Amin's face showed a hideous look, the iron spear in his hand shook in mid-air, and the Jurchen cavalry suddenly divided into two sections, the first half was still rushing towards the infantry formation of the Ming army, and the second half of the 4,000 people suddenly turned around and rushed towards the direction of the Ming cavalry.
In this way, Amin also changed from being in the middle of the cavalry to being at the forefront of the cavalry.
Ye Qiu looked at the handsome banner that had struck forward slightly in the Jurchen cavalry, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, "Ben Da Shao has used himself as bait, and he really lured you over." ”
