Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifteen Confrontation
The opponent's cavalry consisted of hundreds of cavalry lined up in two rows. There were dozens of such formations, stacked on top of each other like waves, pushing towards this side.
Han Du only glanced at it, and his heart suddenly sank. Opposite him was a master who was proficient in cavalry tactics, and he was also a confident man. Such tactics seemed a little messy, but in fact they were very powerful. Wave after wave.
It is very difficult to resist the torrent of cavalry, and this tactic has another advantage, that is, once the opponent cannot withstand it, there will be no chance to escape. He just wants to rely on the strong cavalry to directly attack
Completely destroy the opponent.
Faced with such tactics, there is only one way, and that is to do what Azashi is doing now, turning the entire army into an arrow and a wedge. As long as it can penetrate the opponent's military formation, then it can go straight to Huanglong and turn defeat into victory.
No matter whether it was the attacking side or Azashili's side, the two groups of cavalry made no mistakes. As for which side would win, it would depend on who was better.
After all, there are never invincible tactics, only invincible people.
Because the distance was too close, even the cavalry charging condescendingly could not increase their speed to the maximum.
The first thing to attack was the bows and arrows in the hands of both sides. At the same time, the movements of both sides were almost exactly the same.
Raise the bow, draw the arrow, nock the arrow, draw the bow, and release the arrow!
Then both sides leaned down on horseback and hid under the belly of the horse, just like two brothers fighting, their movements were uniform and precise.
The cavalry behind gradually repeated the actions of those in front. On the battlefield where the two sides exchanged, only war horses galloping on the snow and sharp arrows spinning and shooting down in the sky were seen.
"Duh duh duh duh duh duh"
The arrows hit the horse and saddle, making a completely different sound.
"ah"
Continuous screams rang out, and even if they dismounted while hiding in the belly of their horses, some unlucky cavalrymen were still hit by arrows.
After the arrow fell, the surviving cavalryman jumped on his horse in an instant, opened his bow and shot again, and then hid under the horse's belly again.
When they stood up for the third time, the two sides were already in close combat. Both sides drew out their scimitars and looked at each other with ferocious faces.
In an instant! The iron man collided, his heels were spinning, the ferocious face, the bloody sword, the low howl, the diffuse smoke, the entire mountain was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic atmosphere of this primitive fight.
"Death, death, death"
"Kill kill kill"
Even though both sides screamed in Mongolian, they did not leave each other stunned for even a breath. Such things are too common on the grasslands. Large tribes annex small tribes, and tribes compete for grass.
It can be said that this kind of fighting has been engraved in the bones of prairie people since they were young, and they have long been accustomed to it!
Since the opponent's speed had not increased, the power of the cavalry charge was not brought into full play. Therefore, Azashili was able to break through several lines of the opponent's cavalry at first.
However, Azashili's decline was quickly revealed, and his charging speed was getting slower and slower. If he couldn't rush forward and stopped, he would definitely be dumped by the opponent and the entire army would be annihilated.
There is not much difference between the immobile cavalry and the infantry, and they will only be massacred by the opponent's charge.
Han Du's face was gloomy and frightening. He lowered his head and looked at the chariots in front of him that were being connected continuously. Now, only the part directly in front of them was connected, and the two sides were continuing.
"Ming Jin! Let Azashili come back!"
"Yes!" the soldier replied immediately.
"Let the artillery be prepared to block the opponent's cavalry charge and protect Azashili from retreating!"
"Follow the order!"
After giving two orders in succession, Han Du raised his telescope and stared at the battle ahead without delay.
Azashri's heart felt cold. He knew that he was probably doomed this time. The commander of the opposing cavalry was a veteran. After discovering his purpose, he sent more cavalry to the center, layer upon layer of frustration.
Destroy his spirit
.As long as he can't move anymore, he will be caught in a trap by the other party.
Seeing himself step by step into desperation, Azashi couldn't help but regret that he had been too impulsive to stand up and resist. Growing up on the grassland, he knew deeply that only by constantly increasing his strength could he be able to survive on the grassland.
survive on.
Such a practice of sacrificing oneself for others and protecting others would never have appeared in his mind in the past. What happened just now? How could he be so impulsive that he wanted to sacrifice himself to help others?
"哐哐哐"
At this moment, a sound came into Azashili's ears.
He turned around suddenly, unable to believe that Han Du would ask him to withdraw his troops.
Immediately, he shouted in great surprise, "Retreat, retreat! The army is ready, let's retreat!"
A guard next to him not only did not rein in his horse and retreat, but instead raised his sword and shouted, "Warriors, charge with me, buy time for the prince, kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill."
Azashi looks
As he continued to charge the guards and tribesmen, his eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't want these tribesmen to die for him, but he also knew that if no one rushed forward to delay the attack, he would not be able to evacuate smoothly.
"Haguk, from today on, you are my most beloved Anda."
However, Haguk didn't even look back, and without even a few words of reply, he faced the enemy directly.
The cavalry on the opposite side had the advantage and originally wanted to eat up Azashili's cavalry. Now seeing that they wanted to retreat, how could the other side agree?
Immediately, countless cavalry followed Azashili to chase him, and the opponent's speed was getting faster and faster. An overwhelming momentum gradually gathered, like rumbles and thunder resounding through the valley, and like a vast expanse of raging waves attacking the group.
Mountains. Long swords and scimitars were flying clangingly, spears and spears were whizzing past, dense rain of arrows was overwhelming like locusts crossing the border, and the dull shouts of killing and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
Just when Azashili was about to be overtaken, the Ming army's artillery began to roar.
"boom"
One after another, the blazing iron balls fell into the middle of the cavalry on the opposite side. The originally uniform copper and iron walls were instantly torn open by cannonballs. Even one cannonball tore open a wall and it was not finished. It bounced up and continued to blast the people behind.
It was torn apart while sitting on the wall, and it was torn apart several times before running out of kinetic energy and falling to the ground.
The dense artillery shells instantly curbed the momentum of the cavalry charge, each one carving a bloody path through the crowd.
However, the cavalry on the opposite side were obviously no strangers to artillery. After being bombarded, they quickly changed their tactics and dispersed their formation, continuing to pursue Azashili one after another.
Fortunately, after such a delay, Handu finally bought valuable time for Azashri. The Ulyanha cavalry withdrew directly from both sides of the military camp to the back.
Facing the charging cavalry, the soldiers on the chariot each held a thunderbolt, holding their breath and waiting for orders.
"God's Thunder Gun, fire!"
Xu Chengfei raised the revolver in his hand and suddenly pulled the trigger toward the sky.
"boom!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang."
The cavalry on the opposite side wanted to repeat the same trick and hide under the belly of the war horse, hoping to avoid the arrows.
But facing the divine thunderbolt, this trick is completely useless.
Because the divine thunderbolt is so powerful, it doesn't even need to hit a person. Even if it hits a war horse, it can kill or injure the horse and lose its combat effectiveness.
With the accuracy of the divine thunderbolt, it was almost impossible to hit a war horse without miss, every bullet hit the war horse.
"Tweet"
Amidst the shrill and shrill neighing sound, the war horses in front all fell down. The people hiding under the horses' bellies fell heavily to the ground. Before they could stand up, the horses behind them hit them and their muscles and bones were instantly shattered.
All shattered into pieces of mud.
If the cannon just slightly dampened the momentum of the cavalry's charge, then the barrage now intertwined with thunder and blunderbuss was like an invisible wall of copper and iron, causing the cavalry to collide instantly.
of being shattered to pieces.
Such powerful firepower instantly frightened the cavalry on the opposite side. After trying to charge several times without making any progress, these cavalry retreated unwillingly, wandering outside the range of the divine thunder cannons, and showed off their power to Han Du.
Seeing that Han Du finally repelled the cavalry, he finally let go of his worries.
"Continue to connect with the chariots and set up camp here! Also, where is Azashri? Let him come to see me!"
Azashi rode on horseback with lingering fear. He was almost there. Just now he thought he was going to see Changsheng Tian. Fortunately, Handu did not give up. He sent money in time to let him retreat and help him get to safety.
Withdraw.
He came to Han Du immediately, got off his horse, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to the Marquis!"
Han Du nodded with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands to help him up, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work. If you hadn't made a prompt decision to fight against the enemy and buy time, I'm afraid my army would have been scattered by the enemy."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is a matter for a lower official." Azashi stood up quickly, "I also want to thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life."
Han Du smiled and said, "Stop saying such kind words. You saved me, so I will not sit back and watch you go into danger."
I took a look at Azashili's arm and saw that his armor was somewhat damaged and stained with blood. I didn't know whether it belonged to him or the enemy.
Asked "Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Azashili was full of energy, glanced at it casually, laughed and said, "The skin injury is just like being bitten by an insect."
Han Du nodded and said with concern, "You still can't be careless. You have to deal with it in time, otherwise you will be in trouble if you get infected. The Ming army has a doctor accompanying the army. You can go down and bandage it later."
Although it's winter and it's not easy to get infected, you still have to take precautions. If there are any unclean bacteria on the other party's knife, it will still cause infection.
Although Azashili didn't understand what infection meant, he knew that Han Du was concerned about his injury. He nodded with emotion and said, "I will listen to the Marquis and leave in a moment."
