"Deputy battalion commander, the enemy's carriage is coming." The messenger said with a nervous look on his face.
At this time, the only three remaining carriages of the Mongols were less than fifty steps away from the vehicle formation, and they were still approaching.
The artillery team's artillery did not dare to continue firing at the carriages. A single shot from such a close range would easily injure the men behind the formation.
"I saw it." Cao Guang put a hand on the monocular telescope and said immediately, "Give me the order. The gunmen in the front row have bayonets in their hands and are ready to meet the enemy."
The messenger ran to deliver the order.
Cao Guang's eyes were fixed on the three approaching carts.
The carriages were heavy and heavy, and they did not move very fast, so the distance between them and the formation of vehicles was gradually shortened.
At this time, Cao Guang installed a bayonet on the firegun at hand, because he knew that there was someone hiding behind the carriage.
The carriage was about twenty steps away from the formation when it suddenly stopped. The people hiding behind the carriage rushed out, waving their weapons and rushing towards the formation.
"Han people!" Cao Guang lost his mind for a while.
He never expected that the people running out from behind the carriage were actually not Mongolians, but a group of Hans. Even though some of them were wearing Mongolian fur coats, he could still tell at a glance that these people in front of him were all Hans.
Bang! Bang... Bang!
The sparse sound of firecrackers.
Some Han people who rushed ahead were hit by fire cannons and fell to the open space in front of the car formation.
The Han people who rushed out from behind the carriage quickly rushed to the front of the formation.
Some Han people began to climb up the vehicle formation, trying to rush in and kill the tiger-character flag soldiers behind them.
However, at this moment, firecrackers stretched out of the car formation, and the bayonets on them stabbed the Han people who wanted to get over the car formation.
Each of the muskets with bayonets is as tall as a man, like spears.
Rows of bayonets were thrust out, and the Han Chinese who rushed towards the car formation were stabbed and died one after another before they could climb over the car formation.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of horse hooves sounded again on the grassland in front of the vehicle formation, and the Mongolian army once again attacked the vehicle formation with the Tiger Flag.
"Damn it, these Mongolians are really insidious. They let the Han people stand in front and die while I sneak attack from behind." Cao Guang spat fiercely on the ground.
At this time, he already understood the identities of the Han people who rushed out from behind the carriage. They were not Han people from the Ming Dynasty, but Han people living on the grasslands. They were either slaves of the Mongols or were forcibly captured by the Mongols.
However, no matter what the identities of these Han people were, when they picked up their weapons and began to attack the car formation, the two sides had already become enemies.
Tiger Flag will never be merciful towards its enemies.
Rows of gunmen formed a spear formation and kept thrusting out their bayonets to kill every enemy who wanted to rush into the car formation.
More and more enemies were bayoneted to death or stabbed.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry army had already approached the chariot formation.
"Hold the Mongolian cavalry." Cao Guang shouted loudly, tilting the gun in his hand forward and pointing his bayonet at the Mongolian cavalry that was about to rush over.
The Mongolian cavalry army is getting closer and closer to the vehicle formation.
Whoosh! Whoosh... Whoosh!
Arrows were shot out from the hands of some of the Mongolian cavalry who used riding bows.
This time the Mongols fired their arrows when they were close to the car formation.
Arrows flew down from mid-air.
In addition to some of the arrows being blocked by the carriages, there were also many arrows that passed over the carriage array and fell into the Tiger Flag soldiers behind.
Although most of the Mongolian arrows are bone arrowheads, there are some iron arrowheads mixed in, and some are sharpened wooden arrowheads.
The Tiger Flag soldiers behind the vehicle formation began to suffer casualties.
However, there were many wounded, and few soldiers died under the arrows. Unless an arrow hit the vital part, it would be difficult to kill a fire gunner wearing cotton armor.
Also hit by Mongolian arrows were the Han people outside the car array.
Unlike the Tiger Flag soldiers behind the car array, although these Han people were helping the Mongols, the Mongols didn't care about their life or death at all. In addition, these Han people had nothing to resist arrows, so they were shot to death by arrows.
There were more people shot and wounded than the soldiers of the Tiger Flag.
After a round of arrows, no one of the Han people who rushed out from behind the three carriages could stand still, and almost all of them lay in the open space in front of the formation.
Many corpses were covered with arrows shot by the Mongols.
The Mongols didn't even look at the Han people they shot to death, and they didn't feel sorry for the Han people who worked for them no matter how many were killed or injured. On the grasslands, the Han people were always the most despicable people.
After a round of arrow rain ended, the Mongolian cavalry army almost rushed to the front of the vehicle formation.
Some Mongolian cavalry controlled their horses and tried to cross over the vehicle formation, but the bayonets behind the vehicle formation were stabbed into the belly of the horses, causing both men and horses to fall from the air.
More Mongolian cavalry stopped in front of the vehicle formation, waving their weapons to destroy the four-wheeled carts in front of them, or to attack the tiger-character flag soldiers inside through the gaps in the vehicle formation.
Similarly, rows of bayonets behind the car formation stabbed the Mongols and war horses outside.
The two sides began to stab each other across the car formation.
The difference is that the Mongols fought on their own. The soldiers of the Tiger Flag formed a spear formation behind the car formation. Teams of firebenders holding bayonets, under the orders of their respective captains, stabbed their hands neatly at the Mongols.
bayonet.
More and more Mongolians were stabbed to death outside the car formation. On the other side, the soldiers of the Tiger Banner also began to suffer casualties. However, every time a soldier was killed by the Mongols, someone would immediately drag the body behind.
Those behind fill the gap.
The squatting cannon in the carriage of the four-wheeled cart fired continuously, and countless iron sand and gravel turned into a large net to cover the Mongolian cavalry in front of the vehicle formation.
As long as they are covered by the iron sand net, no matter they are humans or horses, it will be difficult for them to have a chance to survive.
More and more Mongolian corpses were piled up in the open space in front of the vehicle formation, and the vehicle formation was no longer so neat and skewed. However, the spear formation composed of gunmen still kept thrusting out the bayonets in their hands.
The bayonets were thrust forward in rows and rows at the Mongols and their horses, and every time they failed, there were always Mongolians and horses stabbed by the bayonets.
The pungent smell of blood quickly filled the surroundings of the car formation, and as everyone breathed, there was a sticky feeling in everyone's nostrils.
The spear phalanx is the most familiar to the soldiers of the Tiger Flag. Every fire gunman will practice the spear phalanx regularly. Although there are no longer spears to use, the fire gun is equipped with a bayonet and becomes another kind of spear phalanx.
Shape of a spear.
To the Mongols, the car formation in front seemed like an obstacle that could never be overcome. It was difficult for them to hurt the soldiers with the tiger flag behind the car formation, but more and more people on their own side died in the tiger formation.
The word flag is in the hands of a soldier.
The two sides fought to the end, and the Mongols were the ones with the most casualties. Mongolian corpses were also lying on the ground. However, there were very few casualties among the soldiers with the Tiger Flag behind the vehicle array.
The Mongols who suffered too many casualties finally began to be unable to bear it anymore, and the Mongolian cavalry began to try to escape from this battlefield.
However, the Mongolian cavalry behind them were still pressing forward.
When the Mongolian cavalry who rushed up from behind saw rows of blood-stained bayonets and Mongolian corpses lying on the ground, they all showed panic expressions.
Some Mongolians chose to flee with the others, while others continued to charge forward, waving their weapons in front of the car formation and attacking the Tiger Flag soldiers behind the car formation.
Unfortunately, the Mongols themselves were already in chaos, and the threat to the tiger-character flag soldiers behind the chariot formation was not as good as when the war first started. One by one, the Mongolian cavalry who appeared in front of the chariot formation were stabbed to death by the tiger-character flag bayonets.
