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

Chapter 480 Decisive Battle 3
Erwangtun, located fifteen miles outside Lushun City, is a large flat land with a width of 3000 meters.Originally, this place was developed into farmland by the Dongjiang army and planted with wheat and rice, but when the Houjin army arrived, everything was destroyed, and the wheat and rice that had not been harvested in time became the food and grass of Houjin.At the end of the farmland are two hills less than 100 meters high. The mountains are gentle and not very eye-catching, but they are of great value. If the cavalry charges from a high position, the kinetic energy is very amazing.Now Yue Tuo and the others planted their flags on the two hills, watching the battlefield from a high position.

Hou Jin had lined up early, and many Niu Luezhen were galloping back and forth in front of the formation, shouting and shouting to boost morale, scouts kept coming and going, passing the latest military information, it was really lively.The morale of the Jin army was high. They were tired of the boring confrontation in the trenches. Now the damn Ming army is finally willing to leave the trenches and barbed wire and fight them in the wild. What else can they say?Just sharpen your swords and guns and prepare to let go and kill!
Hauge looked into the distance and asked, "Do you think the Ming army really dare to come out?"

Yue Tuo said in a deep voice, "They will definitely come out!"

Du Du said: "If the Ming army really dares to come out to fight us in the wild, we really have to work hard to deal with it!"

Hao Ge sneered: "Uncle Qi, you think highly of them too! If they really dare to come out, I guarantee that they will never come back, and none of them will return to Lushun alive!"

Everyone looked at the confident Hauge and shook their heads secretly.Although Hauge is brave and good at fighting, but in terms of scheming, he is far behind Huang Taiji, and he is also too arrogant. This is not an ideal successor.The fact that the Ming army dared to leave the city for a decisive battle meant that the Ming army had the confidence to defeat Houjin in the field, at least he would not suffer a big loss. He actually underestimated his opponent so much. Saying it is definitely not a good thing.

Just as they were talking, a small group of scouts came flying to report: "Report———The main force of the Ming army has left the city! It is heading towards Erwang Tun!"

Everyone cheered up: "It's really here!" Yue Tuo waved his hand: "Explore again!"

"twitter!"

Hauge still didn't believe it: "Ming Gou really left the city? They ate the leopard's gall, right?"

Abate said in a deep voice, "It's self-confidence!"

On Lushun's side, the endless sea of ​​metal is pouring towards Erwangtun.The chasseur hung a saber at his waist, holding a pulley bow that could shoot more than 200 meters away, and spread a wide fan to drive away Houjin's scouts, sparing no effort to suppress Houjin's powerful search curtain that had already been opened .After seven or eight miles away from the city, sporadic fighting broke out between the scouts of the two sides. From time to time, small teams of scouts could be seen chasing and killing each other.Use a small group of rangers to follow and harass the enemy army during its movement, and when it sees the opportunity, it will pounce on it and bite it fiercely, then quickly escape before the enemy army reacts, and pounce on it when it catches the opportunity. This has always been the nomad's way The Central Plains Dynasty, which is dominated by infantry, is often helpless in the face of such rogue tactics. It can't be thrown away, and it can't be chased. Even if one or two of them are lucky, the results will be very poor, and they Once attacked, the loss is quite large. This kind of grievance that can only be beaten but not fight back can really drive people crazy.But now, the tactic of the Houjin has failed. The equally fierce hunters maintain a powerful security screen, using pulley bows and arm crossbows to shoot at the Houjin Rangers. The range and power of these two types of equipment are better than those of the Houjin As Jin rode his bow and screamed, people on both sides kept getting shot and fell off their horses.If Houjin was approaching, they would draw their sabers without saying a word, and more than a dozen people rushed up knee to knee with sabers. Every Houjin Ranger had to face several sabers. Many Houjin scouts, who were famous for their bravery in the whole army, were beaten to death by them in such an extremely aggrieved manner.

The red lady is high-spirited, and her fiery red cloak flutters in the wind like a burning cloud. She wears a breastplate and holds a four-meter-long rifle. She also wears a seedling knife at her waist, and a bag of white-feathered arrows pinned to her back. Holding it in her hand, she rode a tall horse and dashed left and right, commanding the five hundred chasseurs that Yang Menglong allocated to her, just like sending her own subordinates.The hunting cavalry obeyed her orders, separated and separated, and drove Hou Jin's ranger, not daring to neglect in the slightest... He was riding the black front of the champion, and as for the champion, he rode a camel very aggrieved, who? Dare to neglect?For this kind of small group of cavalry battles, Hong Niangzi can be said to be very handy. She has played this trick badly. She used to deal with officers and soldiers like this before. Playing this trick in front of her is no different from playing big swords in front of Guan Gong's gate.She said loudly: "Keep these followers far away, don't let them get close to the main force of our army!" The chasseurs promised loudly, and charged harder.

Behind the Chasseurs came the Lancers.The Lancers of the Tianxiong Army wore cloaks that were so red that they were on fire, and there were two small red flags tied to their horses. Once they charged, they would be a mass of fire swept into the field by the wind; the Lancers of the Heluo New Army Black robes and black armor, as far as the eye can see, I believe that those who have fought against them will never forget the black storm that these Lancers set off when they charged.One of the two Lancers was wild and the other stern, the contrast was quite large.The infantry marched at a constant speed on the drums, 88 steps per minute, and the entire army was like a rumbling machine.At the beginning, the Dongjiang Army and the Guanmen Sichuan Army couldn't understand this marching discipline, but after walking a few miles, they couldn't help but followed the drums and walked forward, as if they were hypnotized.

Artillery is a hard-working group of people, six 85mm howitzers, dragged by horses and men, it is really strenuous.Fortunately, there has been no rain in these three days, and the ground is dry. If the ground is muddy, the artillerymen probably want to die.By the way, in addition to the six 85mm howitzers, there are also four 120mm cannons being pulled by the horses and pushed by the soldiers, trying their best to keep up with the pace of the large troops.These four cannons were dismantled from the Optimus Prime and the Decepticon. The navy said that they would participate in such a big battle. Although their warships could not go ashore to participate in the battle, the naval guns could go ashore!So they dismantled four naval guns in one go, unloaded a hundred shells, and joined the battle excitedly.It’s just that the tonnage of the 120 cannon is too scary. One cannon was pulled by six horses, and it was still very difficult. There was no way, a group of sailors had to help push it behind, and their legs became weak after a few miles.

Yang Menglong looked at the fields that had been trampled into a mess, and felt very sorry: "What a fertile field, it's such a pity that it has been turned into this."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "If we can win this battle, I will ask Jiannu to pay back the capital with interest."

Yang Menglong said: "We must pay!"

Mao Yongjun came over on horseback and called: "Little Shuai Yang, Lord Lu, our army is about to arrive at Erwangtun!"

Yang Menglong said: "Let the chasing cavalry be careful, don't push too far, so as not to be fooled by the enemy!"

Mao Yongjun cupped his hands, and ran to inform the Chaser again on horseback.At this time, the sound of rumbling cannons was faintly heard from the front, which was very dull and quite dense. Needless to say, it was Hou Jin's artillery who were firing test shots. Obviously, Hou Jin had already made preparations.Yang Menglong ordered the army to speed up and finish work early.

But at this time, the Chasers were in big trouble. Just when they could see Hou Jin's general flag planted on Erwang Mountain, there was the sound of rumbling guns ahead, and rows of shells streaked across the sky, aiming at them. Smash it over.Although these solid shot puts did not cause much casualties to the evacuated cavalry, they also caused a burst of confusion.Then, the desolate horn sounded, and the sand and dust flew up. The golden light cavalry behind the brigade roared, with fast horses like the wind and sharp arrows like rain, and the chasseurs suffered a lot of casualties immediately.Seeing that the situation is not good, the red lady decisively ordered: "Retreat!" She turned her horse's head and quickly retreated. While retreating, she pulled the pulley bow and threw it behind her. Every time an arrow was shot, one of the rear gold light cavalrymen would be pierced by an arrow. , screaming and fell off the horse.Most of the cavalry hunters of the Denglai New Army and Tianxiong Army were horse thieves, and many of them were simply Mongolian knights. , The golden light cavalry who chased them fell down one after another with arrows.But these post-gold light cavalry were also quite fierce, clenching their teeth tightly, and even a fast horse flew overtaking from the side, grabbed the front of the red lady, and surrounded at least two hundred chasseurs!Sharp arrows shot from all directions, the cavalrymen fell down one after another, and the light cavalry of the rear gold came in like a tide, which was likely to drown the cavalrymen, and the situation suddenly became extremely serious.

The red lady drew her bow and fired rapidly. She shot out a bag of arrows in an instant, knocking over eight or nine arrows. Then she put away the pulley bow, picked up the horse's chariot, and led the team towards the Houjin light cavalry to follow them. Fight to the death.At this moment, the wind blowing from the wilderness brought Yang Menglong's ghostly cry: "Don't be afraid, red lady, I'll save you!" The sound of hooves was heard as fast as thunder, and four hundred lancers were like a wall. The four-meter-long lance trembled slightly as the horse galloped, and the lance shone coldly in the sun, galloping like lightning!There was a moment of confusion among the Houjin Hussars, and they shot arrows at the Lancers charging at high speed, but very few fell in response.In an instant, the lancers rushed in front of them. With the powerful kinetic energy given by the galloping horses, the half-meter-long spear easily penetrated the leather and cotton armor of the light cavalry. The front chest went in and the back chest came out, and the sharp blade tore through. The muffled sounds of splitting flesh and blood were heard one after another, and the screams of pain were endless. Many Houjin light cavalrymen were stabbed from their horses before they had time to draw their sabers, and were trampled into pulp.Two years later, the Houjin cavalry once again experienced the power of charging on the wall. The lancers of the Heluo New Army swept across the battlefield like blades, and blood spattered everywhere they went. Those fierce and sharp Houjin light cavalry were like grass. They were swept off their horses in piles, either dead or injured, and hundreds of corpses were thrown down in a blink of an eye.Those who were lucky enough not to be stabbed were frightened and ran away. The bloody lessons taught them that the cavalry and archery skills they were proud of were useless in front of the lancers charging towards them like a wall. When they encountered a wall-mounted charge, , it is better to go with 36 strategies.

Yang Menglong rode an idiot to the front and stabbed two of them to death with his own hands. He really got addicted to stabbing people.With a flick of his hand, he shook off the blood beads on the spear, and asked the red lady with a smile: "How is it, my Lancers are good, aren't they?"

The moment the Lancers crashed into the formation of the Houjin Hussars, the Red Lady opened her mouth wide and has not closed it until now.It wasn't until Yang Menglong started to show off that she realized what she was doing and tried to close her chin: "So...it turns out your Lancers are so powerful!"

Yang Menglong said proudly: "Of course! At the Daling River, I used [-] Lancers to smash into the two white flags of Jiannu and rescue the Tianxiong Army and Guanning Army who were surrounded by groups!"

The red lady rolled her eyes and called, "I don't want to take the chasseurs anymore, give me four hundred lancers!"

Yang Menglong's answer was very straightforward: "It's a beautiful idea!"
