Chapter 389 Encounter

However, this time they were destined to return empty-handed because they chased the wrong direction, and it started to snow in the sky again. And after these days of marching, they were finally extremely tired.

Chang Yuchun knew that the soldiers had become the last of their strength, so he had no choice but to let the soldiers give up the tracking, and after a little rest, he prepared to return to Dadu.

However, what Chang Yuchun didn't expect was that he lost his way due to heavy snow.

After all, Chang Yuchun is from the south and has never experienced the scene of ice and snow in the north. Moreover, these days it has been misty and cannot see the sun. There are white areas everywhere, without any references, and no guides familiar with the terrain.

He fell into a military taboo, and put his army in crisis in a strange environment and in a strange terrain.

Chang Yuchun, the general Chang Sheng, finally encountered something that made him unhappy.

He went in the opposite direction and went deep into the hinterland of the grassland.

However, just as he was about to run out of food, he met a Mongolian tribe, who had hundreds of sheep.

The Mongols bullied the Han people too ruthlessly. Although Chang Yuchun knew that the people who grazed on the grassland were not the ones who were evil in the Central Plains, who made him a Tartar too!

Chang Yuchun ordered that all these sheep be used as military rations and slaughtered for his army to eat, so that he could last for a few days.

His own army is about to go hungry, but Chang Yuchun doesn't care about that much.

Eating mutton is more hungry than the fried noodles I brought, and it is meat after all.

There is no way out, and Chang Yuchun found a second tribe and seized thousands of sheep. In this way, there is no need to worry about food.

However, Chang Yuchun felt keenly that his army might hit something, so he arranged a lot of scouts in front of him while marching.

As a result, just the next day, his forward met the enemy.

This is a gathering area for tribes on the grassland, where Kugutemur's army is carrying out disaster relief.

The snow disaster here is very serious, but with the help of the army led by Kuoku, they moved to a reserved pasture covered with heavy snow, and opened the heavy snow to reveal the grass below. The sheep, which had already frozen, saw the grass, started eating as they cried.

Kuogu knew that this snow disaster on the grassland was over. With this grassland, sheep could survive this white disaster, and the lives of the same tribe on the grassland were saved.

However, just as they had completed their mission, the scouts found that an army was slowly coming in the distance.

Judging from their appearance, they are definitely not Mongolian troops.

Since it was not a Mongolian army, it was the enemy. The army under Kuoka Timur was the last one in the court who could fight tough battles. Without Kuoka doing any mobilization, they immediately formed a defensive formation.

On the outside, there is the shield player, and then inward, there is the spear player. The spear player can stab the spear out at any time and pierce the enemy who rushed to the front of the formation. Then on the inside, there is the archer. Inside, you can use the bow and arrow to continuously kill the enemy.

This typical defensive formation is actually not a good match for the Mongols. They prefer to attack by horse, but in this kind of weather, in this snow, it is simply impossible to charge by horse.

This formation is more good at riding and shooting.

In this terrain, both offense and defense have changed. The Mongolian army, who is best at attacking, is defending, while the Han army, who is not good at attacking, is attacking.

However, Chang Yuchun's army was omnipotent, especially attacking such a defensive position in the era of cold weapons.

If it is any other army, then this defensive formation can play a great role. This formation is a living meat grinder. However, now, they have no chance to take action.

Chang Yuchun's men were stepping on sleds and seeing the defensive formations of the Tartar soldiers in front of them, they were very happy and searched for them without any effort. Chang Yuchun thought that he had found the Tartar Emperor.

Moreover, the mutton I just ate has not been digested yet, so they are in the best condition.

It is undoubtedly the stupidest suicide to rush forward to the opponent's defensive formation. Chang Yuchun immediately ordered his subordinates to appear in a row, starting from the side, sliding by two hundred steps away from the opponent, and at the same time, using the Tianque gun in his hand to kill the opponent!

So, the most depressing battle of Kuoku slowly kicked off.

He saw the enemy's army in the distance and stayed there, but he didn't move. He thought the other party was afraid of seeing his formation. This would be the best. His team was already a little tired. As long as he scared the other party away, that would be fine.

Unexpectedly, soon, he saw that the other party had some strange time, sliding rapidly in the snow. Could this be what is often called flying on the snow in Middle Earth?

Because he was far away, he did not see the sled under his feet.

However, this was not over. The other party did not perform in front of their formation. They began intensive shooting despicably two hundred steps away from their formation.

The leather shield can withstand bows and arrows and slashes, but cannot withstand the opponent's bullets.

With the sound of the musket, his subordinates began to fall down continuously.

However, no one moved, his military orders were extremely strict. If he did not give orders, even if all of them fell down, no one would move.

The other party kept passing by, constantly taking away the lives of his soldiers.

What to do? I feel like I am in big trouble.

If you just stay still, then the other party will keep shooting and killing your soldiers. If you advance, you will not be sure of winning. Your army will move slowly and will not be the opponent of the other party's flexible soldiers at all. If you retreat, the other party will definitely come forward.

Kuogu was hesitating, but heard a violent vibration coming from behind.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the most strange scene in his life: countless sheep were running over like crazy.

The dense gunfire just now scared the sheep. Some of the lamb legs became weak and could not move, while others seemed to be full of strength and ran forward.

Although the sheep are not tall, it is not so easy to deal with when thousands of sheep come over. The feeling of being repeatedly trampled on by the sheep's hooves is definitely not good. Kuogu immediately ordered the soldiers to dodge the passage and let the sheep flow rush out!

Let these crazy sheep harm the Han army opposite!

The Mongolian army on the opposite side suddenly dodged a gap. Before Chang Yuchun could order, he saw countless sheep running towards him.

The ancients had a fire cattle formation, but the Tartar army had no cows, so they replaced it with sheep? This idea flashed through Chang Yuchun's mind.
