Chapter seven hundred and eighth reaction
"drink!"
After Melezhanjing gave the order, the four-row array of steps began to strode forward, while Melezhanjing himself was paying attention to the movements of the cavalry on both wings and the opposite enemy cavalry.
Using steps to ride depends on whether the opponent has the courage and means to break the formation.
If the enemy cavalry turns around and escapes, or wants to win by relying on a short and powerless bow like the Mongols, then the final victory will only be the Jurchens.
If the cavalry does not accept infantry battles, the cavalry will have to retreat. As long as it retreats, it means that morale is frustrated and the queue is chaotic. A small number of elite cavalrymen of the Jurchens can pounce over and chase and fight relentlessly, and the insurgent formation can also be instantly turned into a cavalry to chase and kill.
The Jurchens are famous for their infantry battles and are also good at cavalry battles. Whether they are in the field or cavalry battles, they have the right to decide and take the initiative.
The cavalry team opposite was not as expected by Melezing. After entering a hundred steps, the cavalry team with more than 100 people suddenly scored and ran towards the two wings.
Melezhangjing showed a look of contempt on his face. This was the same thing as the Mongols. He crossed his wings and shot arrows in the middle, hoping to use this tactic to disturb the footsteps.
He didn't know that for He Yusheng's gun cavalry, the small-scale war in front of him was also a very novel experience.
The staircase formation is complete and complete, with strict defense. The staircase formation is forward very quickly, and no one hesitates. During the process, the archer has already started to shoot with the staircase bow downwards. The arrows are still very sparse at the beginning, but the Jurchen archer shoots very fast, and soon arrows flew towards the cavalry in the air.
The arrows fell like rain. At the beginning, they didn't care about Yu Sheng's cavalry officers. They fought with the Mongols many times and had seen the power of the bow and arrow. However, they soon felt the power of the Donglu archery bow. The Jurchens' bow and arrows were shot quickly and quickly, with almost no pauses. At least the previous dozen rounds were like this. Nearly a hundred people kept shooting arrows without any pauses. The rain of arrows flew in the air, hitting people's heads, chests, backs, sides, and war horses under them were instantly covered by the arrow rain.
The Jurchens' arrows were not only dense but also their accurate heads were not under the Northern Barbarians. Someone in the cavalry began to fall off the horse, and the arrows hit the breastplate and made a sound of sound. Where the breastplate could not cover, the arrows easily tear open the skin, shot into the muscles or nailed to the bones until the bones were cracked or even broken.
Several cavalrymen were shot and their ribs were broken, some were shot in arrows on their thighs, and several were shot in the vital points of horses. When they pounced, they lifted the cavalry off their horses.
Ma Wu was hit by an arrow in his chest, and a long list of sparks flashed from the flat heavy arrow arrow. He felt the chest shaking, as if he was hit by a hammer. He made him feel a pain in his chest. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, at this time, Ma Wu had the most intuitive and clear understanding of the Jurchens' bows and arrows.
There was a jingling sound from the cavalry team, and heavy armor-breaking arrows kept falling into the team.
If it weren't for wearing heavy armor, the first round of arrow rain alone would have caused heavy casualties to the cavalry.
Even so, more than ten people have been dismissed, some have been seriously injured, some have been slightly injured, and some have obviously not saved their lives.
It is difficult for the riders of Yusheng to accept such a death and injury rate. After all, it is a cavalry battle of hundreds of people. Before they arrived at the Thirteen Mountains, they had fought with the Mongols on the grassland many times. One or two hundred heavy armored cavalry could chase thousands of Northern Lu to run rabbits all over the mountain. The Donglu in front of them not only dared to take the initiative to dismount and fight in the field, but the accurate heads, shootings, and the power of arrows were far beyond that of the Northern Lu. Under the rain of arrows, there was almost a terrifying feeling that was suffocating!
Later generations thought that bows and arrows were toys for children, and that the Donglu was just a rumor that the Donglu had to rely on arrows to determine the world was just a perplexing story. In fact, the Donglu's cavalry, stair array, bravery and good at fighting, and the bow and arrow skills and strength they had achieved were far beyond the Ming army or Mongolians at that time, and were far beyond the weak nations such as North Korea. No wonder this army repeatedly defeated the Ming border troops far above it. There were many luck in winning the world, but luck was also based on strength. Without strength, luck would never be favored!
"Detect the musket!"
The two and a half squadrons of cavalry had already broken through to about sixty steps and had entered the effective shooting range of the musket. If the bow and arrow were not too powerful, it had already given a serious threat to the cavalry team. The commander Ma Wu should have waited until he entered about forty steps before ordering the shooting. In that case, the power of the cavalry would be greater and would cause more casualties and injuries to the Jurchens.
Almost in an instant, everyone's cavalry guns were fired!
More than 120 muskets were fired and released within one minute.
Fire was emitted from each muzzle, thick white smoke came out from behind the gun barrel, and three cents of projectiles were sprayed out, flying straight to the target.
"ah"
After the gun sounded, there were also many screams of screams in the Jurchens' queue.
This round of fighting also caused at least 30 to 40 soldiers in the Jurchen step formation to be injured. Some of them were beaten to their heads, some were concave into their chests, blood was sprayed out from their mouths and noses, and some were hit in the abdomen, and colorful intestines were thrown out of the huge wounds.
At this time, the Jurchens realized that wearing cotton armor was easier to protect the damage caused by musket bullets than mail or iron scale armor. Mian armor effectively absorbed most of the kinetic energy. After being shot in thick jackets and cotton armor, the damage was not serious. However, if a flag soldier wearing mail or without armor was shot, the damage would be particularly serious.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Melezhangjing, who was standing in the middle formation, watched the Ming cavalry overturned nearly forty of his subordinates, some of whom were obviously killed, and some were severely injured. Even those with minor injuries were extremely likely to die due to the high possibility of infection.
Melezing immediately ordered that more than forty cavalry on both wings immediately rushed backwards towards the cavalry that had already rushed through the array.
Ma Wu was speeding on the horse. He had already crossed the musket and prepared to reinstall the spoils. However, the chase after him almost bit it in a moment. The two sides were only 200 or dozens of steps apart, and the distance was getting closer and closer. If the horse was not adjusted, it would be like a defeat. If the horse was adjusted and then filled with spoils, the time would not be able to catch up anyway!
"Command," Lin Nanxing, who was riding a horse like he was standing beside him, shouted: "Change, turn around, use the saber!"
Ma Wu was very decisive and immediately said: "All the whole company is reduced, turn around, and complete the team!"
More than one hundred and ten cavalry immediately took the horses to stop, and the war horses gasped violently. The cavalry inserted the muskets into the bags and then pulled out the saber on their waists.
While the whole team was in the squad, the two-wing Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side had already transferred their horses to the fastest, and more than forty cavalry galloped on the grassland and rushed towards this side.
"Who is afraid of hedging?" Xu Zhen showed a ruthless look on his fair face. Not to mention that the Jurchens were not as large as theirs, even if there were the same number of people, or there were more people than He Yusheng, what could it be?
"For the sake of being with Yusheng, for the sake of the adults."
"For the sake of the adults!"
All the knights shouted together that the morale of the cavalry team of Yusheng was high, and long-term training not only allowed them to line up neatly, but even the horses under their stalkers kept a very neat posture even when they were moving forward.
"Small jump."
Less than two hundred steps apart, the movement of the cavalry team accelerated again under Ma Wu's military order.
The war horse seemed to know that the critical moment was coming, so it began to sniff hard and re-struggle the legs.
The sweat of a man and the smell of a horse were mixed. People shouted and cheered up each other's partners. The officers and the sergeant commander shouted hard, lit up the recruits who were a little stiff, as knights, as the greatest honor. Even if they were a recruit, they must maintain the most high-spirited posture.
The Mongolians had already run hundreds of steps away at this time. They were still breathing, and seized the best opportunity to recover quickly.
Seeing that He Yusheng's cavalry and Jurchen were equal in the first round, the Mongols' eyes became particularly complicated. They winked each other and exchanged their opinions in their hearts. Both the offense and defense just now swung a higher level. He Yusheng's cavalry gun was far and fierce, and its power was far above the level of the Ming army's firearms. If it was a three-eyed gun of the Ming army, it would be a distance of fifty or sixty steps and a horse would be riding and shooting at a distance of almost no effect. At most, it could hit three or five people with luck, which would have no effect on the Jurchens.
The power of He Yusheng's cavalry was far beyond everyone's imagination. Within the attack range of Jurchen bows and arrows, He Yusheng's cavalry also slapped the other party heavily.
The Jurchens' bows and arrows were also pre-empted, and the bows and arrows were powerful and powerful. Although the gun cavalry were not all wearing heavy iron armor or breastplate like the lancers, there were also a considerable number of chestplate cavalry. Most of the other cavalry also had armor on their bodies. The least they were also wearing a layer of mail with cotton armor, and the protection was not weak. Under the Jurchens' bows and arrows, the gun cavalry, who were originally almost completely unharmed to the Mongols, were also severely damaged.
In particular, the Jurchens responded very quickly, showing the commander's rich battlefield experience.
When the gun cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry were fighting, they used muskets to open the way, disrupted the opponent's formation, rushed or rushed through weak places, and then used the time of horse buffering to charge the medicine again, and then rushed again. After a few rounds, under the sharp firearms, the Mongols had to escape one way to escape. However, the Jurchens stepped forward to face the enemy while using elite cavalry to counterattack, and finally made the gun cavalry unable to be released continuously, so they could only hedge them!
It can be said that so far, both sides have demonstrated their extremely high tactical level and response ability, and have also demonstrated the most basic qualities, courage, perseverance, and intelligence of excellent soldiers on the battlefield.
Hearing the buzzing discussions around him, Bakhua sighed. This time he really felt his heroic age!
