unexpected crash
"Swoosh swish swish..."
With the trembling sound of bowstrings, arrows drew arcs in the sky and flew towards the top of the city.
The Mongolians have used bows and arrows for more than 500 years. The biggest feature of this composite recurve bow made of wood, cow horns and tendons is that it has a very long range. The best shooter can shoot arrows with a special longbow to a distance of more than 300 meters.
Although it is almost no different from tickling for soldiers wearing armor after reaching this distance, it is fatal to be shot by arrows at such a distance.
“Ah…”
Arrows shot onto the battlements, making dull sounds, and there were also painful wails in the middle, which were screams from the unlucky ghosts shot by the arrows.
"Surprising the city...the Ming people siege the city..." Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry finally launched an attack, and as soon as they came up, Karu had a heavy rain of arrows.
He was a little confused. He had never experienced a battle formation before.
Although he had killed countless compatriots today because of his orders, the experience of killing people and being killed was completely different. Seeing dense arrows flying towards him and listening to the screams from time to time around him, he felt cold hands and feet, and his face turned pale.
"Arrow shot...just shoot arrow!"
I heard the officers' hissings and roars in my ears. Amid the roars, arrows also shot down the city. For a moment, both sides were shooting back and forth, and they were particularly lively.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry was showing the strength of the Mongolian cavalry. Although the performance of the Mongolian cavalry was not very good when fighting against the Jiangning Army in the past, they were beaten and suffered heavy losses almost every time, to be honest, we can't blame the Mongolian soldiers for being too Cai.
The Cold Weapon Army was really at a disadvantage when it was against the Hot Weapon Army. After working hard for more than ten or twenty years, wearing three thick layers of heavy armor, he still had to stop after being hit by a lead bullet.
Not to mention the Mongols who have been lonely for more than two hundred years, even the Manchus who were supposed to unify the Central Plains in another historical time and space are now killed by the Jiangning Army, let alone them.
However, after surrendering to Yang Feng, the army under Wu Keshan regained its vitality. Wearing light and sturdy armor, holding a scimitar made of machinery in modern society, and a composite recurve bow, the Luzon army on the city wall that is only suitable for suppressing the common people is really not enough.
Teams of cavalry rushed past the city wall, and arrows kept shooting up the city wall, suppressing the soldiers of Luzon State that they did not dare to show their heads. This set of tactics was also the cavalry and shooting tactics used by Mongolian cavalry in the past.
“Ho…huh…”
Two consecutive arrows suddenly flew past Castro's ear and shot the city wall behind him, startling him and several officers watching the battle.
Castro, who had been wandering between life and death, looked very ugly. He didn't expect that the other party's arrow would shoot so accurately that even he almost got hit.
Mitchell bent over and ran over and pulled out an arrow nailed to the wall, and handed it to Castro.
Castro took the arrow and observed it, and the officers around him surrounded him.
This is a wooden arrow with small and sharp arrows, which is an arrow suitable for long-range shooting.
After a few glances, Castro said to several officers around him: "Everyone, I think it's time to leave now, and this place is no longer safe. If you don't want to be a prisoner of the Ming people, I think we should leave here as soon as possible."
Mitchell nodded: "Mr. Colonel, I think you are right. Judging from the performance of both sides, that idiot is no match for the Ming people at all. Apari's fall is only a matter of time."
Castro nodded: "Okay, since there is no objection, let's leave here now."
"clear!"
There was no nonsense. After all, this was something that had been decided yesterday. Several Spanish officers took advantage of the opportunity of chaos on the city wall and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Although Castro and others escaped, the attack of the Mongolian cavalry did not stop. Under the cover of waves of arrows, the Mongolian soldiers carrying the ladder rushed to the city wall almost without any damage.
Ladders were pushed up onto the city wall, and then a Mongolian soldier who had already sharpened his sword began to climb up to the city wall.
"Hurry up... let the arrows come, you idiots... Mingjun is coming up! Come on, and take down all these ladders!"
Karu on the city wall saw that ladders had been raised, and he was so anxious that he was about to jump.
As a person who cherishes his life, he has never forgotten what the Ming people said yesterday. The consequence of refusing to surrender is that the whole city will be killed, including him.
But unfortunately, the soldiers of Luzon have never experienced the battle formation. When facing these Mongolian soldiers who were used to fighting, they were like babies meeting strong men. What's more, Apari's walls were too short, and a height of less than two feet (three meters) was a few steps for the siege.
Although the Luzon soldiers on the city wall also knew what the consequences of letting these Ming soldiers rush up, they were indeed trying to stop them. Many Luzon soldiers rushed to the battlement and prepared to use various weapons to defeat the soldiers who climbed up, but these people forgot about the other group of people staring at them under the city wall.
The height of three meters is too simple for Mongolian soldiers who are skilled in bowing and horses. It is as simple as if they want to shoot your right eye and will never hit your left eye.
Under the waves of arrows, the "brave" Luzon soldiers were shot to the end, and in the end no one dared to reveal their heads.
When the first Mongolian soldier holding a scimitar and a round shield jumped to the top of the city, he saw a scene that surprised him. Less than three meters away from him were two Luzon soldiers holding long spears, looking at him with horror.
"kill!"
Without any nonsense, the Mongolian soldier raised the scimitar and rushed forward without thinking.
However, something even more incredible happened. When the two Luzon soldiers in front of him saw him coming, they not only did not resist, but also screamed at the same time, and turned backwards at the same time, slipped away with oil on their feet.
Mongolian soldiers: “…………”
What's going on?
Looking at the soldiers of Luzon who were running fast, the Mongolian soldier was completely stunned.
In fact, it was not only him who was confused, but many Mongolian soldiers who had climbed the city one after another also encountered the same situation.
