Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 624 The Alliance 7
Qian Yu didn't know that he would hurt his subordinates' hearts by rushing to rescue him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. It's important to fight.He used binoculars to observe the Ordos coalition forces, seeing that the opponent's flags were worn out, there was very little armor, and the horses they were riding were also thin, so he couldn't help but sneered.Dare to come to his idea like this bear, really tired of work!For such an opponent, he didn't even have the interest to say a few words to the opponent's commander, so he turned his head and said to several Mongolian tribe leaders who supported him: "Let's start. Old rules, first shoot a round of rockets, you guys Then launch a charge to lure them over, and I will let the Lancers deal with them. Those who behead one level can get the qualification to settle in Yinchuan City, and those who behead two levels can get a house with three bedrooms and one living room... After the battle, the results of the battle will be calculated uniformly. No one is allowed to dismount halfway to cut off the guard, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

His orders were passed down step by step, arousing bursts of cheers like a tsunami. Many Mongolian knights who entered the battlefield for the first time were flushed with excitement, dancing with hands and feet, impatient, wishing to rush up to fight immediately and cut off their heads. class.

Salib was a little surprised and asked a Han official next to him: "What are those Minggou talking about? Why do they all seem to have taken the wrong medicine?"

The Han official listened with his ears pricked up and said uncertainly: "The general seems to be promising a reward, while those Mongolian men are shouting "Long Live the Ming Dynasty."

Salibu spat on the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "These guys who are ungrateful for profit, the Han people just offered a little reward to make them forget their ancestors. They are not worthy of being the descendants of Genghis Khan!"

The Han official even claimed it was true, but he said in his heart: "If you have the ability, you may be rewarded a lot, and your subordinates will cheer!"

This is of course impossible, the Ordos department is poor.

Over there, the mounted infantrymen had dismounted and lined up in three rows with spears in hand. As for the horses, following the old rules, stakes were driven down to tie them up, forming an insurmountable obstacle behind the infantrymen.The lancers were divided into two and distributed on both sides of the infantry phalanx to protect the infantry, while the large number of Mongolian knights spread out even further, anxiously waiting for the order to attack.Under the helpless gaze of the Mongolian knights, hundreds of infantrymen ignored the horse archers who were speeding towards them to launch an attack. They unloaded the rocket launch tubes and simple launchers from the backs of the mules and horses, quickly set them up, and loaded the rocket launchers with shells.They moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, twenty simple rocket launchers were erected and the rockets were loaded. With an order, they lit the fuse...

The rushing Mongolian cavalry raised their horn bows and were about to release arrows when they suddenly saw large clouds of white smoke rising from the front of the Ming army. The piercing screams made their hearts twitch. , All the fire dragons opened their teeth and claws, soared into the sky, roared past their heads, and plunged into the formation of the main force behind them!

There was a deafening explosion.

Orange smoke billowed up.

The fiery air waves spread in all directions, and the soldiers and horses who were swept away were on fire, falling to the ground and howling.

The shrapnel splashed around with flames at an explosive speed, and blood splashed within a radius of 50 meters.

In all fairness, the accuracy of this round of shooting was not high, only eight of the twenty shells hit the formation, and twelve were wasted.However, the terrifying explosion roar and blazing flames produced by the picric acid explosive made the Mongolian cavalry feel as if they were in hell. They were stunned to see that the place hit by the rocket bomb turned into a sea of ​​flames, and they couldn't help letting out a cry of horror Crazy howls!The psychological impact of these rockets is even greater than that of the 85mm howitzers. Although the two howitzers are highly accurate and have great lethality, after all, they have seen and are familiar with them, and they are still within their cognitive range However, the rockets were completely beyond their imagination. Seeing the fire dragons flying out of the churning smoke and flames, and shooting towards them with terrifying screams, even a warrior who can stand up to a hundred , there is no way not to be shocked by it!The fire created by the picric acid explosives terrified the Mongolian warhorses, struggling desperately, and after only one round of shooting, the army formation of the Ordos Department was a little chaotic.

Er Zhe was also dumbfounded, and subconsciously called out: "What kind of weapon is this? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Bao Ketu said: "Okay... it looks like a rocket, but it's definitely not a rocket. A rocket doesn't have such power!"

Mr. Guo Qian yelled at the soldiers manipulating the rocket launcher: "Why did you miss so many shots? Can you hit me right? These shells are very expensive! If you sell them, you won't be able to afford one!"

His roar had a good effect. The second round of salvo began, and another twenty rockets shot into the sky. This time, sixteen of them fell into the army formation of the Ordos Department, and the landing points were quite dense. The smoke and flames became one piece, and a terrifying sea of ​​flames rolled up. Nearly two hundred Mongolian cavalry disappeared in an instant, and they could vaguely see severed hands and feet flying in the air.The terrifying sea of ​​flames and heavy casualties defeated all the courage and will of the Ordos Department at once. A leader screamed: "Sorcery! The Ming army knows sorcery!" He rode his horse and fled. The entire army was infected like a plague. Everyone was screaming and galloping, trying to escape from the terrifying Ming army. Thousands of troops were crushed by fear in an instant!
Qian Yu shook his head: "If you don't fight, the rogues are better than you!" He said to the leader of the Mongolian tribe beside him: "Go ahead and kill me, remember to bring back the head!"

The leaders of the gang were all red with excitement, howling and drawing out their swords, and rushed towards the fleeing Ordos tribe. The Mongolian knights under their tent had long been impatient and made a loud noise when they saw this. With cheers, the war horses spread their hooves and ran like a gust of wind. The arrows were dense like a slanting rain, pouring on the backs of the fleeing Ordos tribe. Many Ordos cavalrymen and horses were shot into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye. , screams came one after another, resounding through the sky, mixed with the screams and cries of the defeated army, which was particularly thrilling.The composite bows of these Mongolian knights were all obtained from the Tianxiong Army with cattle and sheep. They were extremely well-made, labor-saving, and had a high muzzle velocity. Coupled with some steel arrowheads, their lethality was terrifying. Those who caught them often fell down. Mongolia The knights chased after the defeated army, raining arrows to their heart's content. The Ordos cavalry who were shot fell to the ground like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind. Once they fell, they had no chance to stand up again.Being disturbed by them, the Ordos tribe fled faster and more fiercely. They were already defeated. They forgot that they still had sabers, bows and arrows in their hands, and that there were actually many people around them. There was only one thought left in their empty minds: escape. , the further away the better!

However, where can they escape to?
Don't forget, their opponents are also Mongols, who know their way of thinking and tactics best.Two thousand Mongolian knights spread out in groups of one hundred, interspersed with each other, driving the frightened Ordos cavalry back and forth like sheep, harvesting life mercilessly with bows, arrows and sabers, and the Ordos cavalry fled regardless Wherever they went, there would always be feathered arrows piercing through the air and shooting them down. They thought they were fleeing, but in fact they kept spinning around the battlefield, and they couldn't escape at all!
Mr. Guo Qian looked at the Ordos tribe surrounded by Mongolian knights who were close to the Ming, such as driving dogs and sheep, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. He was inexplicably emotional and sighed.

Qian Yu turned his head to look at him and said, "There is no need to sympathize with them, they have treated us like this before."

Mr. Guo Qian said: "This is exactly what I feel for my humble position... I think back then, how many soldiers of our army were surrounded by them on the prairie with few siege and many groups. They could only be passively beaten and could not fight back. In the end, the whole army was wiped out. Now it's their turn to taste the power of the tactics they invented, and they deserve it!"

Ezhe's face was pale and he was silent.

Half an hour later, the dead and wounded soldiers of the Ordos Department had covered the battlefield, and the survivors were surrounded, like a flock of sheep surrounded by wild wolves in a sheep pen. despair.And their compatriots of the same language and race, those Mongolian knights who were close to the Ming army, were still galloping around them, and deadly arrowheads rained down on all sides, constantly harvesting lives.The desperate Ordos riders raised their round shields to try to cover their vitals, but this was useless. The small round shields for cavalry were small and thin, and might still be useful for protecting against bone or stone arrowheads. The light arrows shot by the soft bows of the guards of the Ming Dynasty were so-so, but facing the point steel arrowheads shot by the compound bows of the Mongolian knights with excellent riding skills, they could only be in vain. A hole was pierced through, and the arms of the riders were continuously nailed to the shield by the arrowheads penetrating through the shield, screaming in pain.They were also fighting back with their bows, but it was too late, and they couldn't use them at all due to the crowds, while their opponents had plenty of room to move, and they kept shooting arrows from five to sixty meters away. It is difficult to shoot accurately with a horse-riding bow, and the casualties caused by counterattacks to the opponent are simply out of proportion to their own casualties!
Combat has turned into carnage, and the battlefield has become a slaughterhouse.

The brutal massacre continues ruthlessly.Salib saw so many Ordos youths falling one after another, with blood flowing into rivers. His heart, which he thought had been tempered hard enough, felt as if it was being torn apart. He rushed to the front of the formation without wearing a helmet, and faced five or sixty meters away. The Mongolian knights who were going back and forth and firing arrows screamed: "Save some mercy! We are all descendants of Genghis Khan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot into his forehead, pierced through the cranial cavity and came out from the back of his head, and the tearful screaming stopped abruptly.The overlord on the Ordos Plateau opened his eyes wide and slowly fell down.If he could meet Crassus, the famous ancient Roman general, under Nine Springs, he would definitely feel sorry for him——Crassus also let the Parthians beat him badly with this rogue and ruthless tactic.

Taiji was killed by an arrow, and the Ordos Department became more and more flustered. Everyone was shouting and screaming, but they couldn't hear what they were saying at all.At this moment, the sharp whistle of the swan whistle rose from the ground and went straight to the sky, and the wolf-like Mongolian knights separated left and right, making way for a gap about one mile wide.The flustered Ordos Department rushed towards the gap instinctively, trying to escape, but saw a metal wave coming slowly from a distance, not very fast at first, but gradually accelerated, and when it was the last 300 meters, it was already It's like an arrow flying off the string.The hooves of the bowl-sized horses raised and fell at the same time, raising dust all over the sky. The knight on the horseback was as stable as a rock, unaffected by the bumping horse. The long lance was clamped under the armpit with one hand. The front of the lance pointed to the rout of the Ordos army like a compass, and the red flag tied to the pole was hunting and dancing amidst the thunderous hooves. The scene can only be described as "magnificent"!

Horse cavalry!

Three hundred cavalrymen from the Tianxiong Army launched a devastating charge against them!

The Ordos cavalry, who had been beaten out of their bodies, looked at the Mazhan jungle that exuded the smell of death, and lamented in despair: "It's over!"
