Chapter 557 Iron Cavalry
Xi Lingse did not listen to the whistle cavalry anymore. He had already seen the cavalry team appearing on the horizon.
Under the sunshine, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared on the blanket-like ground mixed with green grass and yellow grass.
What a spectacular and magnificent scene. A huge lake suddenly appeared on the horizon. The flashing light of iron armor and silver armor was refracted, forming a huge iron curtain.
The mirror-like lake moves forward...
The earth trembled...
Iron armor and silver armor, soldiers and cavalry, jumping war horses, strong iron armor, red ←←←← bars on the iron helmet, ⊙.∽≮.E育…
Highly raised saber, rifle, musket...
This is an iron cavalry, an unyielding iron cavalry, an invincible iron cavalry that destroys the edge and breaks the formation!
All the Mongolians felt that their blood had solidified, and Xi Lingse's face turned pale in an instant, like a dead person.
Yes, the Mongolians are a nation on horseback. They grow on the grassland and start learning to ride horses when they can walk. They grazed and acted on horses. Even if they visited relatives, they had to rely on horses. After they grew up, they began to ride horses and shoot arrows. The more they did so, the deeper they felt about the power of cavalry. Although the iron cavalry in front of them, they had extremely powerful power. The great power made it completely difficult for them to feel resistance. Everyone felt that in front of this iron cavalry, all resistance was meaningless, and they would be torn to pieces in an instant!
Some Taiji and generals showed shame and anger on their faces. This is the grassland. Over the past thousands of years, hegemony established by nomadic peoples has been born on the grassland, including the Huns, Rouran, Turks, and Khitans. In the end, the grassland will dominate. There will never be new nomadic peoples. Mongolia will appear, which is scattered in the universe and sweeping the world!
Xi Lingse raised his right hand and shouted: "The enemy army has only more than 2,000 people, and we have more than 30,000 people here, and the front and back teams still have more than 20,000 people. As long as we fight with them and support from front and back, we can eliminate all the cavalry of He Yusheng here!"
More people conveyed Xi Lingse's words loudly. The armored cavalry and herdsmen endured the throbbing in their hearts and shouted loudly. The horns and drums continued. People raised their weapons in their hands, or unloaded their bows, took a bow and arrow, and began to prepare to face the enemy.
The rushing raids actually had 2,100 cavalrymen!
There were nearly 600 auxiliary cavalrymen, but they were far behind them, preparing to go forward to assist in the battle after the main force broke through the enemy formation, gathered the horses and chased the fleeing enemy.
Yes, the generals of Heyusheng have the confidence to announce that before the cavalry war begins, the auxiliary soldiers will be asked to prepare to pursue the fleeing enemy!
The two players began to hedge!
The Mongols' arrays were very scattered, which was also their usual formation. Compared with their brave and well-equipped ancestors for three hundred years, they were only riding and shooting techniques. They did not dare to use dense formations to hedge against the cavalry of the Shang regiment, and could only use scattered formations to fight the enemy with bows and arrows.
The two sides quickly approached. When they entered within a hundred steps, the Mongolian bows and arrows began to be shot continuously, and the sky suddenly darkened. I don’t know how many arrows flew into the sky quickly!
...Not long after, the horizon suddenly lit up, and then there was a deafening roar!
This is the breastplate cavalry firing muskets. In this cavalry battle, He Yusheng rarely mobilized almost all the cavalry now. The breastplate cavalry alone was two full units. More than 1,300 people broke into the Mongolian cavalry formation in a diagonal array within 60 steps, and then drove them in batches!
The crackling sound of bows and arrows was suddenly suppressed by the roar of the muskets!
Tiewan flew in the air, breaking through the yellow dust and mud and grass roots flying all over the sky, and suddenly flew into the Mongolian cavalry team. Tiewan rotated at high speed, hitting people and horses, hitting the head, chest, limbs, waist and abdomen, and anywhere on the body of the horse. Blood flew, people screamed, and anyone who was shot would break his muscles and bones, pounce on the ground, or be seriously injured, die, howl, moan, or die silently.
One fight was a blow, and the Mongolians were beaten up badly!
Although they fought with the breastplate cavalry many times, the Mongolians still found it difficult to adapt to the sharp firearms of these cavalry. Their cavalry still crackled like fried beans. However, amid the roaring muskets, the Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.
The breastplate cavalry kept inserting obliquely and reloading during the mercedes. The iron armored cavalry led by Zhou Yao and other officers were extremely strict. The cavalry formation was extremely strict, with long swords in front and sharp sabers behind. Under the impact of the neat cavalry formation, there were almost no Mongolian cavalry who dared to face the enemy in person. The cavalry formation passed by, cutting the Mongolians like cutting tofu. The Mongolians were invincible and dodged one after another. After the cavalry formation rushed past, only people, horses and corpses were left, and there were only a few people and horses and corpses on the ground.
"Neal!" Xi Lingse's war horse was shocked by a passing projectile, stood tall and pedaled on the spot.
A cavalry beside Xi Lingse was hit by this projectile and his head exploded like a watermelon. The scene was so tragic that it changed the color on the faces of the people present.
More than two thousand cavalrymen stabbed into more than 30,000 cavalry like heavy swords, slashing them in half from the middle, attacking their weakest points, making them unable to care about their heads and tails. When all the cavalry rushed past, the Mongolian formation was already in chaos, and the heads and tails were not taken into consideration, and there were almost no established armored soldiers gathered together to resist. There were nests of running herders and armored soldiers everywhere. The generals and Taiji were only concerned about their own guards running back and forth. They were at a loss and did not know how to fight this battle at all.
This is not an exaggeration. More than 2,000 elite cavalry have no combat power than the Eastern Barbarians, but far above the ordinary Ming border army. The Ming border army, led by a general or deputy general, pursued and killed the Northern Barbarian tribes in a large scale, and killed hundreds or even more than a thousand heads in formation. There are many records of them.
There are only a few strong men in the Northern Barbarians, such as Yesian and Altan Khan, who can intimidate all troops, select armored soldiers, and practice them in normal times, so that their cavalry can fight against the Ming army head-on. The rest of them are all ineffective, and they do not gather more than ten or twenty-hundred thousand people, so they dare not go south at all. Therefore, in the Ming history, the records of entry of various Mongolian troops are almost at least ten or twenty-hundred thousand people. After the rise of the Eastern Barbarians, Lin Dankhan sent several troops.
It was vulnerable. The eastern Mongolian troops had no choice but to deal with thousands of Eastern Lu cavalry. After years of frying flowers, Lin Danhan and the Han troops were chased by more than 100,000 people, were chased by thousands of Eastern Lu cavalry and rabbits. When the Eastern Mongolia moved west, they easily defeated the Western Mongolia coalition forces of Bai Hong Dataiji and Bu Shitu Khan's Tumote troops. It is conceivable what kind of Mongolian "iron cavalry" in front of the Shang regiment cavalry were.
The people were screaming, and no one could reorganize the queue. Many cavalry and herdsmen were still shooting arrows subconsciously. Their soft bows and arrows were useless to the Shang regiment cavalry wearing heavy armor or breastplate, and horses were also wearing mail. Only a few cavalry fell off their horses because of the horse being shot and then stumbled. Compared with the number of more than 2,000 people, the dropped cavalry could be almost negligible.
"…The chariot formation of the Shang regiment soldiers was also pressing forward."
Xi Lingse was still in shock. The man who was just beaten to death was too close to him. His brain burst and blood splattered. It seemed that blood was dripping on him. As Taiji, the most noble among the Mongolians, Xi Lingse had never experienced such a scene. At this time, he suddenly remembered his dead father. His father Su Nang died in a war with the Shang regiment. Thinking of this kind of thing would not make Xi Lingse angry. On the contrary, he became even more timid.
At this time, a knight shouted loudly, and there was a chariot formation that was about a mile long in the south, pressing towards the battlefield from east to west. The terrifying part of the Heyusheng chariot camp was still far above the cavalry. The cavalry confronted each other, and at least it was still fighting in a dignified manner. When encountering the chariot formation, you could only see the fire lights that kept ejecting from the convoy, and even the shadow of the enemy could not be seen, and they were beaten to death. In recent months, the number of times Heyusheng took the initiative has increased, causing serious losses to the various units. In addition to the cavalry, the chariot formation is also the most trouble-provoking existence of the Mongolians.
Everyone around him was frightened and a Taiji said to Xi Lingse: "Xi Lingse, what should we do now?"
Xi Lingse subconsciously shouted: "How do I know?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
After a while, an old Taiji shouted: "Hurry up and order the entire army to shrink towards us and line up into a half-moon formation!"
Xi Lingse quickly ordered!
The flags were waving and the horns were heard. The chaotic Mongolian cavalry at the beginning and end finally began to gather in the middle. If they could successfully move closer, the two wings were spread out and the troops were enriched in the middle, the formation would be successful.
But the cavalry of the Shang regiment did not give them enough time to set up the formation. While the Mongols gathered, the cavalry who had been running around suddenly rushed back.
"Damn..."
The sound of a bean-like musket sounded again, and a group of people were overturned by horses. A large number of Mongolian cavalry were shot off the horse. Seeing the strong herders and armored cavalry were constantly being shot and killed, Xi Lingse felt like a knife was twisted.
In the past, Mongolian cavalry was the most exquisite and powerful force in the world, but now tens of thousands of people have been suffocated by more than 2,000 cavalrymen, and they cannot even put out an array...
A large number of cavalry were harvested like wheat, and there were scenes of people rushing over horses and chaotic scenes everywhere. At this time, Xi Lingse woke up and was no match for the Shang regiments!
"Let's go!" Xi Lingse shouted: "There are fewer people and we have many people. We scattered and fled to see how they chase."
When it comes to riding, the Mongolians are still confident, but they just use more people to avoid pursuers with fewer people. No matter how they hear this, no matter how they hear it, no one will say the absurdity and helplessness in Xi Lingse's words.
