Chapter 170: Reverse War
The dawn began to rise, and the earth-shaking war drums resounded throughout the world. The birds who were foraging on the snow were panicking and flapping their wings, heading straight to the sky, flying to the distance without looking back. The whistle inside Yumen Pass turned around.
He ran backwards, and the bamboo whistle in his mouth made a sharp sound.
In fact, he didn't need to give a warning. When the jade gate closed, he also heard the sound of drums and trumpets symbolizing the fierce battle. Teams of soldiers rushed to the top of the city, with crossbows, stone cannons, rolling stones, and pounding wood pushing them to the top of the city one by one.
Rows of soldiers stood quietly behind the battlements, and many people looked nervous. On each section of the city wall, the officers leading the team were hoarsely making the final mobilization before the war.
As the whistle cavalry rushed into the city, the gate closed with a slam. In the distance, the Mongolian army troops could be seen slowly approaching.
On the city tower, Yao Meng saw the extremely eye-catching golden wolf-headed flag in the central army of the Meng army, and his face changed suddenly, "I didn't expect that the king of Meng Fang, Wuda, actually came to the front line in person. It seems that he will not give up until he achieves his goal. OK
Let's compete."
On the city wall, the soldiers also saw the golden wolf flag. There were waves of commotion, and then the officers shouted.
Although the border troops in Lucheng had many battles with the Mongolians, they used to fight with the tribe army more often, and rarely directly confronted the big tent soldiers directly under the royal court. They even more confronted the supreme ruler of the Mongolians, but this
It does not mean that they do not know the meaning of this golden wolf-headed flag.
"Come!" Yao Meng shouted.
"What are the general's instructions?" A Zhaowu captain trotted to Yao Meng.
"The first battalion is ready to go out of the city to fight!"
"Yes!" The captain saluted and turned around and ran down the city wall. After a while, at the city gate, the first battalion of the border army of Lucheng was ready to go.
"Qu Lu!" Yao turned his head and looked at Qu Lu who was rushing up the city tower.
"General Yao!" Qu Lu bowed fiercely to Yao.
"When I go out of the city to fight, you will be in charge of the support on the city."
"I understand!"
Yao Meng nodded, picked up the iron spear beside him, held the horizontal knife around his waist, and strode down the city.
Above the city, one by one, the crossbows raised their ferocious crossbow heads, and the crossbow arrows shining with cold light aimed at the distance.
The city gate opened wide, and the first battalion of 3,000 soldiers rushed out shouting and arranged a font-shaped array dozens of meters away from the city at an extremely fast speed. In the square array that was topped in the front
A captain Zhenwu with scars on his face stood in front of the team with a spear in his hand. His name is Tong Wei, and he is a whistle general in the first battalion. He is also the most fierce under Yao Meng.
The general has experienced many battles and has made many achievements. He has not had a hundred or ninety scars on his body. He is a typical desperate man in battle.
"Tong Wei, don't be aggressive, just keep your array!" Yao Meng was worried about the desperate man and ordered loudly that Tong Wei was a powerful general, but he used to charge forward, as a general who was trapped in the formation.
, this time it was his first battle as a sentry general who led a thousand soldiers.
"Don't worry, General Yao, Tong won't do it." Tong Wei smiled with a big mouth, revealing his white teeth all over his mouth. With the scars on his face, it would be as ferocious as it would be.
The Mongolian army slowly approached and set a foothold when they were thousands of steps away from Yao Meng's unit. Obviously, the Yumen Pass defenders came out of the pass and faced the Mongolian cavalry head-on, which caught them off guard and fought against Yumen Pass.
There have been more than a dozen games, and this is the first time I have seen them have the courage to come out to meet the enemy.
Seeing the stern military formation on the opposite side, the Mongolian army was at a loss for a moment. The front army stopped and waited for the next order.
Under the Golden Wolf's banner, Wuda looked at the three strict military formations under the city and blurted out, "So brave."
Aslan also nodded and said, "No wonder Tanzhou has to change its generals in the last battle. This new force is amazing. It is much stronger than the previous one with the surname Shi."
Jamuha looked at the flags flying on the city and turned forward, "King, this army is our old opponent, Lucheng border army, this one should be fighting in the city, and this one should be the first battalion of Lucheng, and this one is the only one.
The army still has the ability to compete with us in a head-on manner.”
"Oh?" Wuda looked at the team opposite with interest, "Even you said they have the ability to compete with my Mongolian Iron Cavalry, which is very good. Send a team to try it!"
The horse reins in the Jamukha area, "King, Jamukha asks for orders."
Wuda shook his head, "Aslan, send another one out."
Aslan understood what Wuda meant. Jamuka was a major general of his clan. If he was allowed to fight in the first battle, it would be great if he won. If he was unable to win the battle or even defeated by his opponent, he would inevitably kill his morale.
The tribal soldiers affiliated with them will be happy to win, but they will not matter if they lose.
"Tuzow, lead your three thousand cavalry to charge forward!" Aslan issued an order loudly.
A burly man came out from behind and bowed to Aslan, Wuda and others on his horse, then turned his horse's head and raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors of the Lunchun clan, come with me to kill the Southern Barbarians! Kill me!
They just snatched their armor and ran to their weapons!"
Amid the shouts, the cavalry of the Sanqian Lunchun tribe rushed out of the Mongolian army with Tuzo. Their equipment was already very good than that of ordinary small tribes, but compared to the Lucheng side on the opposite side
Jun, but it is not above the same level at all.
Even a border army like the Lucheng Border Army, which is not very popular, has enough equipment to make all Mengjun jealous. Even an ordinary soldier is wearing armor, and the key point is even more covered in iron armor.
That huge iron shield was something that Mongolian army dared not even think of.
In the front of the Pin-shaped figure, Tong Wei's eyes turned blood red, holding a huge spear in one hand, and holding a shield in the other hand, staring at the Mengqi rushing towards him, trotting, accelerating, and scattering.
It was still the same thing as before. Tong Wei snorted in his heart. Looking at the Mongolian army pulling the bow and drawing arrows on his horse, he screamed, "Rise!"
A thousand-man army thrust, and the shields were raised one after another, covering himself tightly. At the same time, Tong Wei heard the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air behind him. It was Yao Meng behind him who was facing him.
He provided support. The archer's archer took a lot of advantage in shooting range than the opponent's horse bow, and at least it was about twenty to fifty steps away. It was mainly based on the arm strength of the archer's arm.
The huge crossbow on the city wall also made an angry roar. The huge crossbow arrows passed over the heads of the soldiers under the city and pierced towards the rushing cavalry in the distance.
Lucheng Border Army is also an old trick. These tactics that have been used in the first battalion have been tried and tested in previous battle examples. They are classic tactics of breaking cavalry that countless veterans of the Great Yue Dynasty have used their bright red lives to find.
.Of course, the Mengqi is quite familiar with these tactics of the Lucheng border army. Their queues are extremely scattered, and there are no shields to block the feather arrows. They are convenient for the mobility of the war horses, dodging left and right, and long bows in their hands.
The saber kept digging, and shot wildly when he caught a loophole.
Tong Wei hid under the shield and listened to the jingling sounds coming from the shield. For a moment, there were countless feather arrows falling on their square formation.
Knocked through the gap, and from time to time, there were two or three enemy cavalry falling off the horse. What made people most bloody was the crossbow arrow that broke through the air with a huge roar. After the Mengqi was shot by him,
The powerful force brought the corpse high up in the air and then fell heavily.
Unfortunately, the enemy is too familiar with this set. Their formations gathered and dispersed made a large number of feather arrows fall into the air. The Mongolian army's riding skills are indeed amazing. Compared to them, the cavalry of the Dayue are very obvious.
Too bad.
The Mengqi, who was in front, flew past the formation quickly. Tong Wei knew that it was time to fight head-on.
"Top!" He shouted fiercely, carrying a huge iron shield on his shoulders, and when he shortened, he ran forward without looking or hesitation. Tong Wei knew that behind these cavalrymen who were divided into left and right sides, hesitating.
, it must be the rushing cavalry. The front is just a trick to confuse people's eyes. If you relax a little, you think the enemy will pass by, and the strong impact will hit you in the face. If the enemy is allowed to
If a rider rushes into the queue, even if it is a small hole, it will be a disaster. The opponent will follow this small hole and not expand the gap in one step until the entire queue is dispersed.
Tong Wei is as powerful as a cow. He dares to fight back with his shield. Other soldiers do not have this ability. After Tong Wei issued a command, they growled and smashed the shields heavily on the ground. Under the shield
Along the three prominent pointed spears, they plunged deeply into the snow on the ground. After the shield, a closed iron pillar was stretched open and firmly nailed to the ground, forming a stable triangle.
The platoon of soldiers pressed the iron pillar tightly, and these giant shields were originally designed specifically to deal with the impact of cavalry.
A loud rumbling sound rang out, and Tong Wei's body that hit him suddenly shook. The force from the front hit him and knocked Tong Wei's body that rushed forward back. At the moment of retreating, Tong Wei's hand
The spear had already stabbed up like a spirit snake. With a squeak, the knight on the horse was picked up by Tong Wei before he could raise it. He shook the iron spear and threw it away from a distance, slamming one arm.
The man weighing more than 100 pounds threw it out in the air, which shows the strength in Tong Wei's hand.
The iron shield inserted on the ground was shaking, and the soldiers in the first row shouted. As soon as the most violent impact ended, they had already pounced on it, pressed against the giant shield, and drew out the horizontal knife in their hands.
Thirty-one, pierce out from the narrow gap between the giant shield. Although it cannot kill the enemy, it is enough to cut off the horse's legs.
This is true. Before the war horses that rammed heavily on the giant shield could wake up, countless war horses had their front hooves cut off.
