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

Chapter 171
Little Prince Boyan did not join the charge.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's because his status is too noble, no one dares to let him take this risk, so he can only stand aggrieved on a mound more than ten feet high, watching his cavalry charge Go up and kill the enemy.

Then he saw a round of massacre.

The soldiers of the Ming Army were so calm that they didn't take the Khalkha cavalry seriously. They just followed the baby-faced order and repeatedly loaded crossbows and fired. The crossbows were as dense as locusts. Every time Baby Face gave an order, there was a volley of fire. In the blink of an eye, three rounds had been fired, and the Khalkha cavalry was already dead and wounded!He almost dropped his jaw in shock and shouted: "This... what kind of fighting method is this? Why have I never heard of such a fighting method?"

The guards also shook their heads in confusion. They had never seen such a style of play.The elder captain of the guards comforted the little prince: "Don't worry, we have already entered the range of riding a bow, and the Han dogs are about to die! These Han dogs seem to be doing well when they shoot arrows from a distance. Once there are casualties among them, immediately kill them." It will collapse!”

The little prince Boyan has no doubts, because since he was a child, he has heard all about the wealth and cowardice of the Han people. With the aggression of the Mongols, it is easy to defeat them. Yes... the more I hear it, the more I will take it seriously.Now his cavalry is only [-] steps away from the Ming army, and they can shoot arrows a little further, hehe, with the strong bows and fast horses of their prairie men, it is not enough to defeat these cowardly Han people Easy thing?
But the confident little prince did not know that in the past 2000 years, the so-called "cowardly" Han people have been the nemesis of the prairie men. In 100 of the 99 years, it was the Han warriors who came out of seclusion and drove them away. The dog is jumping, but there are no tears. As long as the central dynasty is in peace, the so-called "strong bows and fast horses" will be a joke in front of the crossbow formations of Han warriors! "Array without fighting", just four words, is the experience and lesson learned by the nomads after paying such a painful price. The glory of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan has made the nomads proud for hundreds of years. They have forgotten Got this iron law.Of course, this cannot be blamed on them, because the vast majority of nomadic peoples do not have writing. Without writing, naturally there will be no history books or other things passed down. It is understandable that some things are selectively forgotten, but as a Yang Menglong is a caring and conscientious young man in the 21st century. He feels that he has a great responsibility to help them make up for their lessons and reflect on their hardships.

A row of sharp arrows came through the air and landed in front of the formation. The Mongolian cavalry fired their arrows, and one of them landed at Yang Menglong's feet. The accuracy was so bad that it was at least one meter away from him.Yang Menglong spat at the arrow, looked at the Mongolian cavalry with bows and arrows, and said contemptuously: "Are you shooting? It's useless! Get ready——"

It's really useless, the range of the riding bow itself is shorter than that of the step bow, the bow power is much worse, and the lethality is naturally far worse.An archer can open a strong bow with three stones on the ground, but on horseback, it is great to be able to open a bow with one stone and five buckets, because on a bumpy horseback, the power will be greatly affected after all. The law is used.If this move is used to harass, it is indeed a headache, especially when the infantry is marching, those light cavalry and endless cold arrows are simply driving people crazy, often before the official start of the fight, this This kind of endless biting caused the infantry to collapse, but facing the array of crossbows that had been deployed, using a cavalry bow with a maximum range of [-] steps to shoot at a crossbow with a maximum range of [-] steps... Although I am not good at mathematics Great, but I also know that it will definitely kill someone!As Yang Menglong said, there is a point, this round of arrow rain seems to be dense, but it only wounded a few soldiers.On the contrary, Yang Menglong shouted loudly, and the fourth round of crossbow arrows poured out. Due to the closer distance, it can be said that the lethality doubled. , the entire front row of cavalry was almost wiped out.The Mongols are very poor. Even the Khalkha tribe, as the majority, few people can afford iron armor. At most, they can only wear a pair of leather armor.

This time, the Khalkha cavalry showed a trace of fear.Although they didn't know how many people they had killed or injured along the way, the psychological pressure brought on them by the rows of neat and precise salvos was too great, and no one knew whose turn it would be next time!The arrows they shoot are denser than locusts, but the opponent remains steadfast, only focusing on loading arrows and aiming, as if they don't know what fear is at all. Are you afraid of encountering such an opponent?Anyway, they are afraid that their bravery is used to deal with unarmed Han peasants and women, not to fight face to face with these professional butchers!The conch blew again and again, and every ten commanders had distorted faces and roared: "Shoot them to death! Shoot them to death!" The arrows in the quiver shot out like no money, hitting the array of Wuyang Guards, and in a blink of an eye In the meantime, every Wuyangwei soldier's front and back were covered with arrows twisted and crooked, like weeds.People kept falling in the rain of arrows, but those who were alive didn't even look at them and continued to reload!And those who had loaded their crossbows didn't fire, just stared at them coldly, like watching a group of dead people!
Xue Siming chopped off a sharp arrow that was aimed at Yang Menglong with a single knife, and shouted: "My lord, this place is too dangerous, back up quickly, I will take command!"

Yang Menglong shouted: "Shut up, just keep your position!" With a glance, the Mongolian cavalry was only forty steps away from them, and there were still a few soldiers who hadn't loaded their arrows.He gritted his teeth and ordered: "The first row half kneels, the second row stands upright, get ready!"

It was a little difficult to hear his voice clearly while people were neighing, but the tacit understanding honed in the long-term training allowed the soldiers to understand his gestures. The soldiers in the first row half-knelt down, and the soldiers in the second row did not move The crossbow was handed to the first row, but it stood upright and leveled the crossbow.Those with slower hands and feet also loaded up their crossbows, leveled them, and waited for orders.

The Mongolian cavalry was only thirty steps away from them. Arrows were like locusts. Many soldiers were hit by arrows in the head and fell down screaming.

Yang Menglong yelled: "Shoot!"

The soldiers yelled loudly: "Shoot!!!" All the crossbows were fired at the same time, the trembling sound of the metal made the air vibrate, and the long-prepared crossbow arrows roared out, creating a metal storm on the ground!As the crossbow arrows flew through, the Khalkha cavalry rolled into a ball with men and horses. The tragedy was almost the same as being shot by Maxim's heavy machine guns. I don't know how many people were shot down by this volley. Anyway, everyone All the horses are screaming, and the Mongolian cavalry are in a mess!After shooting the arrow, all the soldiers dropped their crossbows unanimously, drew out their horizontal knives, and held the hilts of the knives with both hands, ready to meet the charge of the Mongolian cavalry. A chilling light.For various reasons, they failed to bring the long spears that could best restrain the cavalry. It was difficult to stop the charging horses with horizontal knives, but they were not afraid, so let the horses come over if they have the ability!

Yang Menglong took the horizontal knife handed over by an injured soldier who fell to the ground, held the handle of the knife with both hands, raised the blade diagonally, and made the most standard slashing hand gesture. All soldiers who had not yet fallen to the ground had the same posture. , just waiting for the Khalkha cavalry to rush over.The eyes of the Mongolian men and border soldiers who were so envious that Duosang got a precious sword just now almost bulged out of their sockets. My mother, it turns out that this kind of sword is only available to everyone. Where did this fucking rich man come from? So rich!
Since you are a rich man, you have to find a way to get close to him and see if the rich man will reward you with something.The way the Mongols approached was very direct. Dosang shouted: "Kill!" The tip of the horizontal knife lightly poked the horse's butt. The horse felt pain and rushed towards the Khalkha cavalry like a madman.The others did the same, stabbing the horse's butt lightly with the tip of the knife, causing the horse to neigh wildly and charge forward.Want to touch our rich man?Let’s go through our level first and then talk about it!The timing of their attack and the angle at which they entered the battlefield were very clever. They pressed forward with both wings at the same time and struck hard at both sides of the Khalkha tribe. They stopped most of them at once. When the horses collided, both sides were turned upside down, and those who fell had no chance. He stood up again, his eyes were red, and he slashed with all his strength with his knife. Anyway, he was completely torn apart today, so who is afraid of whom?
No. 1 Khalkha cavalry rushed into the Wuyang Guards' array. Xu Meng's eyes shone and he roared. He swung his ax in a semicircle and struck it down with strong wind. Immediately, his flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the poor baby was killed by him. The horse was split open with an axe, leaving no intact body!This guy was so excited that he killed this one and took one step forward. The giant ax covered in blood swept through the army with one blow. Another war horse with several crossbow arrows stuck in its body was cut off by the ax and fell down suddenly!Seeing this, the Khalkha cavalry was terrified!Not to be outdone, Xue Siming and Zhong Ning shot arrows at the faces of the Khalkha cavalry. Both of them were expert archers. As they bent their bows and set arrows, the Khalkha cavalry fired at them. Down, nine down in a blink of an eye.Then he put away his bow, rushed out on horseback, and swung his sword to kill.This group of Khalkha cavalry had a hard life. They finally rushed here. It can be said that everyone was injured, and they were chopped to pieces by Xu Meng, a pervert. They were already frightened. In addition, the main force had been beaten by Zhu Xiao Allied troops intercepted, and only about twenty riders could rush in front of Wuyang Guard. With just this few people, it was really not enough!One was full of morale, and the other was frightened. The outcome was already decided, and when the sword was swung, people fell on their backs. In the blink of an eye, more than [-] horsemen were killed!
