Volume 3 Chapter 121 Fierce Battle
Chapter 121: Fierce Battle
Of course, the army of Yan Zhao is known as the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally it will not be beaten passively like this, and at the same time as the Mongols shot a rain of arrows, the Ming army also responded with a salvo. A puff of arrows flew like sulfur to the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongols also paid a heavy price, and countless Mongolian cavalry charging at high speed rolled down in the dust in front of the Ming army. However, the cavalry formation, especially the cavalry formation in the charge, was always much more scattered than the infantry formation, so in terms of losses, the Ming army obviously suffered a lot.
Horses' hooves rumbled, blood splattered, and the bleak wasteland suddenly boiled.
In the era of cold weapons, pikemen were always the main force to defend against cavalry charges, and although the Ming army's successive rounds of salvos caused great damage to the opponent, they did not stop the charge of the Mongolian cavalry, and the more tragic short-handed encounters began instantly.
The horses' hooves rumbled, the scimitars were like snow, and the Mongol cavalry launched wave after wave of attacks on the round formation like a tide.
Spears are like a forest, arrows are raining, and the Ming army desperately resists.
But the Mongols were by no means fools, and thousands of cavalry only struck violently at the three points of the circle, and the front fell and the back pounced, like a tidal wave, and soon the corpses of human height were piled up in front of the circle.
Although the Ming army put up desperate resistance one after another, the circle finally began to loosen under the fierce and continuous attacks of the Mongols, first a crack, and then began to be broken. One horse, two horses, then one, two bands, the Mongol cavalry began to rush into the circle more and more.
At the beginning, the Ming army could quickly kill the enemy cavalry that broke into the formation, but as more and more enemy cavalry broke into the formation, the Ming army finally couldn't stand it, and there was a crack in the circle array, one, two, as the Mongolian cavalry reunited into an angry dragon in the formation, the circle finally broke and collapsed. The rift of the infantry also meant the beginning of the cavalry slaughter of the infantry.
Zhu Neng looked at Brother Pao Ze who was constantly falling, his eyes were split, he suddenly roared and jumped on his horse, leading dozens of elite soldiers to rush towards the crazy Mengcai, and strangled him. But even if these dozens of people are one out of 10,000, they are just a drop of water in the fierce battle of nearly 10,000 people, and they will soon dissolve in this turbulent and fierce wave.
Not far away, several horsemen suddenly appeared on the top of the slope, and the two armies were in a vicious battle on the way, and saw that the Ming army had been cut into dozens of pieces, and countless Ming soldiers were still falling under the enemy's hooves one after another despite fighting desperately, and anger suddenly filled his eyes. But Mi Tu didn't speak, just held the reins of the war horse tightly with both hands, he was waiting for Liu Ziming to give an order, after all, Liu Ziming was the commander here.
Liu Ziming's face was calm, he observed the battle situation at the bottom of the slope for a while, and then looked back at the 3,000 brothers who were ready to go behind the slope, and then asked Mitu: "Brother Xian, are you interested in going down and trying your skills?"
Mi Tu tightened the reins in his hand and calmed down the somewhat restless war horse, and said in a deep voice: "Please give an order from Brother Liu, brother dare not obey the order." ”
In the battle of King Ning's mansion, Liu Ziming already understood that Mitu's martial arts were far higher than his own, and he saw that Mitu was still so not arrogant or impatient, and couldn't help but praise himself in his heart: "The martial arts are strange but not arrogant, calm and calm in the face of things, and it will be said that it will have great achievements in time." He pointed to the gentle slope not far away, and said to Mitu, "See, that is where the Mongol generals are, and my brother would like to capture him for me?"
Capturing the thief and capturing the king This is the first achievement in the battlefield, and Mitu naturally will not shirk, he glanced at the dozens of horsemen on the gentle slope, hugged his fist to Liu Ziming and said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, he can't run." ”
Liu Ziming nodded slightly, and then ordered Lan Yong: "Lan Yong, there is a small river five miles northwest of this place, where the Mongols are tuning horses, the Mongols are here with one person and three horses, in order to charge the battle, they have left the extra war horses there, that is to say, there are now nearly 40,000 war horses of the Mongols. You brought 500 people over and robbed them all for me, and we must bring some interest back here. ”
Lan Yong thought that Liu Ziming was the first to point to himself, so he wanted to let himself take the lead as before, but he didn't expect it to be such an errand, so he suddenly looked reluctant and said to Liu Ziming: "Big boss, it's enough to send a brother to such a trivial matter, why call me ......"
Before Lan Yong finished speaking, Liu Ziming sank his face and said to Lan Yong: "Confused! Do you think this is a trivial matter? The Mongols raided Zhu Di this time in order to cut off King Ning's back road, so as to force King Ning to make an alliance with them under the city. They dispatched 20,000 elite cavalry at one time, and it was inevitable to invest so much, so they must have a backhand. We have to knock them off at the outset and make them uncomfortable. ”
Lan Yong's eyes lit up immediately after listening to Liu Ziming's analysis, and he excitedly said: "Big boss, I understand, I promise to complete the task." But after he finished speaking, he didn't forget to add a sentence immediately: "However, the big boss should think about not killing all the Mongols, leave me a few." ”
Liu Ziming's face softened a little when he saw Lan Yong happily receiving the order, and scolded with a smile: "Hurry up, I'm too lazy to talk to you, remember that if you can't complete the task, I'll ask you." ”
"The rest assured of the big boss is that there will be no one less. After Lan Yong finished speaking, he took out the steel knife at his waist and waved it, shouting to the five hundred-man team behind the slope: "Go brothers, get rich!" Before the words fell, he had already rushed out first, and the five hundred cavalry immediately followed behind him.
Liu Ziming watched Lan Yong go away, then took out the steel knife at his waist and raised it into the air, shouting loudly: "Brothers, there is our mortal enemy in front, and now they are slaughtering our brothers of the same clan, blood debt and blood payment, brothers, follow me to kill the Tartars!" With the swing of the steel knife, Liu Ziming immediately took the lead and rushed out like an arrow.
"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!" There was hatred, anger, and indomitable courage, and the shouts of killing suddenly tore the heavens and the earth.
Two thousand five hundred cavalry rushed out of the slope like two thousand five hundred lions and rushed towards the battlefield, and a wave of anger poured out of the wasteland and rushed across the land, like a steel whip of punishment and struck fiercely at the back of the Mongols.
At this time, the Mongols were in sight of victory, and they did not expect that such an elite cavalry would suddenly be killed behind them. On the slope, he was preparing to enjoy the fruits of victory, and Mongolian Wanhu didn't expect that a surprise attack with victory in sight would turn into a counter-sneak attack, and he felt as if he had come from a happy paradise to a hell at this time.
All the forces of the Mongols have been thrown into the strangulation of the Ming army, and it is too late to retreat. The panicked Mongolian Wanhu didn't want to wait for death like this, so he quickly ordered the guards around him to blow the horn and summon his subordinates who were strangling with the Ming army to retreat and defend.
In an instant, the sound of a rapid horn resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Mongol cavalry, which was rising to the top, immediately fell into chaos. The Mongols have always had very strict military discipline, and the punishment was even more cruel, no one dared to disobey the military order, especially such an urgent horn order, and no one dared to disobey it, and all the Mongol cavalry immediately chose to retreat as if reflexively.
But things were so easy, now the two armies had been strangled together, and although the Mongols had the absolute upper hand, the Ming army was not without resistance. Now that the Mongols retreated slightly, the Ming army immediately gathered together, and the blood of countless robes had already stained the eyes of all the Ming soldiers, and at this time they had only one belief in their hearts, that is, "fighting to the death" to avenge the dead brothers.
Zhu Neng is not a stupid person, he also saw the raid of the Lan family army on Mongolia at this time, although he still does not know the other party's origin, but there is no doubt that the other party's target is the Mongols. So under his organization, the Ming army immediately launched a deadly counterattack against the Mongolian cavalry after a little rectification, and he wanted to drag the Mongols to create better fighters for the Lanjia army.
Although the Mongol cavalry was fast, it was difficult to break away for a while under the attack of the Ming soldiers, and the two armies soon fell into a stalemate again.
In the chaos, the Mongolian cavalry quickly divided into several units, one of which rushed back to rescue the main general, but the other had to reflexively fight with the Ming army because it could not retreat, in order to win a fighter for the returning army, and several Mongolian cavalry were either shocked by the might of the Lan army, or because they were surprised by the tenacity of the Ming army, they were stunned in the local confusion for a while. This confusion contributed to the fall of the Mongol army
Fell into the abyss of quick defeat. (To be continued.) )
