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

Chapter 641 The Tough Iron Walnut 2
The annoying rain gradually subsided, and the white mist shrouded the distance. The hills loomed in the mist, like steaming buns just out of the cage, very cute.

But the sound of neighing and the sound of hooves coming out of the mist was not cute at all.

A boundless turbid wave quickly overflowed the horizon and rushed towards Polu City.After chasing in the rain for so long, the Mongolian cavalrymen and their horses were drenched. Many horses kicked vigorously and sprayed a white mist from their nostrils. Add more clothes... Uh, no, it's getting colder, and I can't ride them in the rain anymore.Tens of thousands of infantry marching side by side in a phalanx is spectacular. It is a moving jungle. What does it feel like to have tens of thousands of cavalry marching side by side?
It gives people the feeling that the Yellow River has burst its embankment, and the flood is coming!
Wang Youcai used binoculars to observe the enemy's situation, but he quickly gave up this effort because his eyes were sore from seeing and he couldn't see the end.At least more than 3 cavalry rushed over here. In order to kill E Zhe, the Mongols also spent their blood.He gasped: "My dear, are they all crazy? They're all coming this way!"

E Zhe said: "Their losses in that battle were not small, and they were all red-eyed. It is not surprising to have so many people come here."

Wang Youcai put down the telescope, looked at the surrounding fortifications with some worry, and sighed thoughtfully.If Polu City has a complete city wall, they can rely on this small but strong city to stand firm and wait for help, and use this as a grind to polish the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry little by little. The problem is that there is no.After a hundred years of war, only a few dilapidated walls remained in Polu City. They set up Lu Zhai and Juma in areas that were easier to break through, and even pulled barbed wire. They even buried landmines that they had been reluctant to use After going down, there were no loopholes left, but he still didn't know what to do. After all, they and the cavalry of the vassal state combined had less than 4000 people, while the enemy army had 3 people!The ratio of troops is close to ten to one, how can this be done!
Behind the deer village, all the cavalry of the vassal state had put on infantry bows.If they mounted their horses to kill, they would not be able to kill an enemy that was seven or eight times more numerous than them. Besides, the battlefield was so big that they couldn't move away from them if they mounted their horses, so they simply dismounted and fought on foot.The [-] Tianxiong Army infantry were hiding behind the wall as a general reserve, armed with rifled flintlocks, and blocked any gaps that were opened.These two troops, without exception, both carried five grenades. In addition, each of the vassal cavalry was equipped with a horizontal knife, while the Tianxiong Army infantry felt that the engineer shovel was more useful, with all the bullets and bayonets. After it is broken, it is necessary to use engineering shovels to fight it.The entire Polu City was silent and filled with a tense atmosphere. Looking at the surging Mongolian cavalry, everyone was very nervous and didn't know if they could go home alive.

The water mist gradually dissipated, and the terrifying lineup of the Mongolian cavalry clearly appeared in front of the defenders.The ones at the front were the Houjin armored cavalry, who suffered a huge loss and were almost wiped out by Ezhe. These monsters were wearing heavy armor, holding four-meter-long nail guns, and only had two eye sockets left on their bodies. , a cold, electric gaze burst out from inside, which was intimidating.Being hit by a grenade from the vassal cavalry, these armored cavalry suffered a lot of losses, but there were still four hundred of them. When spread out like this, it was really scary.However, the heavy cavalry charge has very strict requirements on the terrain and weather. They must be on flat, open, dry and hard ground to fully exert their power. They can't run in such a ghost place that is constantly muddy, and they can ignore it. .Behind the iron armored cavalry is a large number of Mongolian cavalry. They are equipped with messy equipment. Bow, majestic.And those small tribes with only a few hundred tents and two to three thousand people do not have such good equipment. They wear coats sewn with sheepskin or even mouse skin, hold short-handled hammers made of inferior iron, and put them in their quiver bags. Many of the arrows were made of flint or even animal bones.The survival of these small tribes is extremely difficult. Often, several such small tribes will completely disappear from the grassland after a major snowstorm. Therefore, they are ten times more eager to enter the customs and plunder than big tribes like Tumet—— ——Although they have worked hard for a year, the rewards they get are far from enough to allow them to survive a long winter safely. If they cannot grab enough food and cotton cloth, at least one-third of them will starve to death!They stared at Polu City with wolf-like gazes, tightly holding the horn bows in their hands, hoping that Wu Keshan would give the order to attack quickly so that they could rush up to fight and rob.

Why are the nomads so tough and tough?It's not because of how good their genes are, they are all forced out by the acquired environment.

Wang Youcai looked regretfully at the post-gold cavalry lined up in a stone's throw away, and said, "It would be nice if we had a few cannons? A round of shells blasted past, and the gang of Jian slaves turned into meatloaf." !"

Er Zhe muttered: "Several rocket launchers should be deployed in such an important place as Polu City..." He was extremely impressed by the terrifying power of the rocket launchers of the Tianxiong Army. The formation of the Mongolian army is so dense. Dozens of rockets passed by, guaranteeing that they would be killed or injured.It's a pity that the rocket launcher is a top-secret weapon of the Ming army, and the number is limited. The entire Tianxiong army is not equipped with many, and the ones assigned to Qian Yu are pitifully small. Every one is the heart of General Qian. How could it be deployed to such a secondary place?This made E Zhe very regretful. If he had two rocket launchers, his chances of winning would be greatly increased.

However, there are ways to play without or without rockets. You can’t rely on rockets for everything, right?He ordered: "Hang up the golden helmet!"

Bao Ketu responded, took out a golden helmet and walked to the most conspicuous place, raised the golden helmet high in front of the Mongolian army, and asked loudly in Mongolian: "What is this!?"

The national cavalry said in unison: "This is the golden helmet! Huang Taiji's golden helmet!"

Baoketu said: "Wrong, this is just a urinal!" After finishing speaking, he really pulled up his trousers and urinated into the golden helmet, and then picked up the golden helmet with a stinking smell with his spear, Lift it up high.The national cavalry laughed so hard that they all yelled: "Good urinal, good urinal, put it down quickly, we also want to take a pee!"

The Mongolian cavalry under the hill looked at this scene, and many of them looked confused, but Wu Keshan and others turned pale, and their expressions were a little more hazy than the sky.In the Battle of Daling River, Huang Taiji's golden helmet became a trophy of the Ming army and was enshrined in the Taimiao. This has become a great shame for the entire Houjin. Now the national cavalry took out a golden helmet as a urinal, the mockery was too blatant!Wu Keshan roared: "Attack! Drag them off the hills and chop them into meat paste!"

Someone wanted to remind this brother-in-law of Huang Taiji that the army is quite exhausted now, and it is not appropriate to immediately engage in a tough battle, but when he saw this man's face was slightly distorted, he felt frightened and dared not say more, so he immediately blew the offensive horn.

As soon as the horn sounded, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers jumped off their horses and rushed towards Polu City with swords and shields in hand.These are small tribes who have never fought against the Tianxiong Army, so they don't know how to write the word "death". No matter in terms of equipment or discipline, they are far behind the Mongolian Army of the Outer Domain. This kind of cannon fodder is used to test the strength of the enemy army. It couldn't be more appropriate.They didn't realize that they were just a bunch of cannon fodder. On the contrary, they were excited that they could move their muscles and bones and grab a lot of votes. The Mongolian army didn't pay attention to the dilapidated small town at all, so they rushed to demolish it!Those who ran slowly were a little dissatisfied. Why did people pinch this sweet and juicy soft persimmon?Damn, being in the back is a disadvantage!

Since it rained for two full days, the ground was very slippery. The Mongolian soldiers who charged soon suffered. If you can't stand, you have to spend a lot of effort every step forward.The Mongolian soldiers who were struggling to climb up felt bad. The ground was too slippery, and they couldn't fight at all. This is too bad!But the people behind kept coming up, even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and rush up.

This rush sent him directly to the chopping block.

Those Mongolian soldiers stood up and slipped, and then stood up and slipped again. Soon, they all turned into mud monkeys. The cavalry of the tributary country and the infantry of the Tianxiong Army standing on the top of the hill laughed loudly.The laughter made the Mongolian soldiers very angry. They gritted their teeth one by one and climbed up with all their strength. Some people simply squatted on the ground and raised their horn bows to shoot at those evil Ming soldiers.It's a pity that their horn bows were damp, and the bow strings were swollen and loose. Most of the arrows they shot were weak, which did not pose much threat to the Ming army, but instead drew even more arrogant laughter.

Seeing that the attacking soldiers slipped and fell frequently, Wu Keshan cried inwardly that something was wrong.The ground is too muddy, wet and slippery, it is impossible to stand firmly, and the bowstring is also wet, the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, you should set up camp first to catch a few breaths, and then find a way to defeat the enemy!
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world. Just when Wu Keshan secretly screamed that something was wrong and wanted the mud monkeys who had climbed very hard to retreat, someone blew a swan whistle on the top of the hill, and then, when the strong bow was drawn away, The characteristic hoarse and sluggish strings sounded together.The Mongolian soldiers who were struggling to climb up raised their heads in fear, just in time to see thousands of archers standing behind the deer village, their 1.3-meter-long step bows in their hands had been drawn into the shape of a full moon, and the triangular arrowheads were like the devil's sharp arrows. Teeth, aimed at them...

"Fire arrows!"

With a loud shout, thousands of archers let go at the same time, and the sound of the bowstring vibrating formed a line, and the water droplets on the bowstring were ejected at high speed, forming a faint mist.In the next second, sharp arrows pierced through the air, converging into a terrifying metal storm, and the screams were earth-shattering!
