Chapter 142: Change of Mindset (Part II)

As the battle became more and more tragic, the mentality of Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan gradually changed, from preserving their strength at the beginning to destroying Ning Yuan's army.

It was really Ning Yuanjun's fierceness that exceeded their imagination, which made them deeply jealous.

And Ye Qiu, who brought about this change, became a thorn in their hearts.

"Send someone back to tell the fourth child that if you want to kill this Ye Qiu and destroy this Ning Yuan army, you will immediately send out his two yellow flags. This is an opportunity!" said Dai Shan to Mang Gultai.

Mang Gurtai was stunned, "Can the fourth child send someone?"

"He will, the fourth child is more afraid of this Ye Qiu than all of us. I'm sure that after he uses Ye Qiu's soldiers and horses to consume our strength, his two yellow banner men will immediately appear to attack Ning Yuan's army. However, now Ning Yuanjun's strength is beyond our imagination, and he no longer just relies on this Ye Qiu's personal force. The most important thing is that Ye Qiu has brought changes to this army in just half a year...... It's just too big!"

Mang Gurtai's eyes showed a thoughtful look, recalling the Ning Yuan Army during Zu Dashou's time, and the current Ning Yuan Army really didn't look like the same army at all.

If you let this Ye Qiu's power expand...... Mang Gultai shuddered, he couldn't imagine that.

"This Ye Qiu must die!"

"If the fourth is late, even if you destroy most of Ning Yuan's army, it will be useless, as long as this Ye Qiu is still there, you can continue to bring out such a strong army. ”

Dai Shan's decisive way.

"Okay, I'll send someone to inform the fourth child immediately!" Mang Gurtai said immediately, and then added, "If he doesn't come, Lao Tzu won't fight, anyway, this business is also his own." ”

Dai Shan glared, "Nonsense, this is the cause of all my Jurchens!"

"That's why we all want to go together!" Manggultai grinned, "I just want to stimulate him." ”

Dai Shan retracted his gaze at this time, "Whatever you want." ”

The fifth cavalry hedge began, and this time both sides were a little hesitant, even the fierce and savage Jurchen cavalry couldn't stand it.

In the past few years, they have fought with the Han Dynasty, fighting the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and Korea, and each battle can be described as easy and happy.

Anyway, the opponent is just a rabble of people who have no combat power and will to fight, two-legged sheep, as soon as the fight begins, everyone rides their war horses and rushes, and those weak armies disperse.

Then, it's the pursuit, the pursuit, the non-stop pursuit.

Slice a lone enemy in the back of your ass.

A bloody battle like the one in front of him is simply impossible, and he doesn't think that there are still people in this world who dare to compete face-to-face with the famous Jurchen Iron Cavalry, at most they will resist a little.

But this army in front of them is different, they are like fools, one for one, two for one, three for one...... Like a moth to a fire, fighting to the end, although our Jurchens are broken, don't they also want to be wiped out?

Feng Hu's eyes were red, and he rushed to the front of the team with a thick-backed long knife that had been curled, which was the reason why Ning Yuan's cavalry was able to charge bravely despite the heavy losses that had fallen in morale.

The general is the courage of the soldiers!

Watching their soldiers fall from their horses one by one, Mang Gurtai and Dai Shanxin were dripping blood.

Mang Gurtai couldn't help it, "Boss, just look at it like that?"

Dai Shan sighed and said, "Since we have decided to eliminate the threat of Ning Yuanjun, we don't want to retain our strength, let's add troops!"

"Why don't you try attacking this strange formation?" Manggultai said, pointing to the Macedonian phalanx ahead.

Just now, the two of them looked at this infantry phalanx for a while, and they could be regarded as seeing some mysteries.

This phalanx looks loose, but the spears are like invisible barriers, which have a great impact on the cavalry, and the oblique face outward, once the cavalry is charged head-on, it is easy to fall into a three-sided encirclement, but it is not without flaws.

"Oh, how?"

"Not as much as we do. ”

Both of them were old in battle, and soon they discussed a strategy, cavalry harassment, infantry attack, as long as the short soldiers penetrated into the spear formation, these spears more than three meters long were useless.

After the infantry had disrupted the spear formation, the cavalry began to assault head-on.

The two also saw the Ming saber and shield soldiers scattered in the spear array, but they had confidence in their soldiers and would never lose when facing each other.

"Add a few elite cattle to the infantry, you won't be reluctant to do it, right?" Dai Shan said lightly.

"How many?"

"Three. ”

"Grass, it's dry!"

Knock knock, war drums sounded.

When Ye Qiu heard the prestige, the Jurchen army moved.

First, the cavalry on both flanks was dispatched, and the Jurchen cavalry began to accelerate a few hundred meters away, drawing two large circles, bypassing Ye Feng Hu and his companions who were hedging in the center of the battlefield.

300 meters...... The sound of horses' hooves is getting more and more intense.

200 meters...... Still accelerating!

100 meters...... Do you really want to gallop into the gun?

A dense drum beat that was different from the war drums sounded, and the vertical spears were lowered one by one, and the sharp blades of the spears flashed with cold light.

The guns were stacked on top of each other, and the entire military formation immediately turned into a hedgehog covered with steel hedgehog armor.

The Jurchen cavalry did not crash into Ning Yuanjun's gun formation as Ye Qiu imagined, but quickly separated and swept past the two wings, some of them threw some javelins and throwing axes at the Ming army's battle formation, and the rest kept firing their bows and arrows.

Ning Yuanjun was not without the strength to fight back, and the crossbowmen of Ning Yuanjun, who were standing behind the spearmen formation, also fought back, and more than 20 people on each side were put down in the blink of an eye.

Ye Qiu's gaze was involuntarily attracted to the flanks, watching the Jurchen cavalry in his eyes roll off their horses one by one, his first thought was that such an exchange was very advantageous.

After all, cavalry basically can't survive when they fall off their horses, they are trampled to death if they are not shot, and compared to cavalry, spearmen are easier to train.

But this thought was just a moment, and his gaze turned back to the front in the flash of light, and at the same time as the cavalry was dispatched, thousands of cavalry in the Jurchen army formation dismounted and began to put on armor.

Then, they marched forward in a loose formation, and when they came to within thirty meters in front of Ning Yuan's army formation at an unhurried speed, these Jurchen soldiers began to accelerate almost at the same time, and in the process of running, the formation was still able to remain unchaotic.

With their momentum, they quickly ran twenty meters in front of the formation.

Then, a bowstring sounded, and arrows were fired.

The spearmen in the first and second rows of Ning Yuan's army were all dressed in iron armor and wore iron helmets, and they also had a small round shield on their left arm.

Seeing the Jurchens shooting arrows, they covered their faces with round shields that were not protected by armor.

The flying arrows broke through the air, and the soldiers of the Ning Yuan Army in the front row fell one after another.

Although there is armor to protect themselves, the Jurchens' strong bows and armor-piercing arrows can still penetrate the thick protection and cause damage to the Ningyuan soldiers, but with the armor to offset part of the arrow kinetic energy, as long as the Ningyuan soldiers are not shot, they will not fall.
