These headless horsemen fell off their horses after running a certain distance. Only some horses were left running around in confusion. They lost the command of their masters, neighing and running in panic.
Xin Ai Huang Taiji immediately saw Dorado Man Taiji's head flying up, and his mouth opened in surprise. These damn Akito, do they know magic?
How could so many heads fly up for no reason?
Xin Ai Huang Taiji is a short man. He is only 1.5 meters tall, but he is very wide and strong. So he rides a pony. Because his legs are short, he cannot climb up a horse that is too tall.
As a result, when he crossed the pillar, he felt he hit something. This time he saw clearly that it was a very thin steel wire pulled between the two pillars. The wire hit his helmet, and the helmet was rubbed by the wire.
There were sparks. The helmet flew back, and the wire brush cut off his bun and removed a piece of his scalp.
He rushed over the pillar and felt the burning pain.
It turns out that these despicable Ming people, they pulled the steel wire here. There is such a thin, yet so strong steel wire in the world.
He immediately shouted, "Get down, everyone get down."
His soldiers and horses immediately fell on their backs and rushed over the wire. The other soldiers and horses behind him reacted quickly and immediately fell on their horses.
However, this is not over yet, there are still short steel pipes on the ground, pulling steel wires.
A large number of cavalrymen rushed through the high steel pipe and fell down again. The horses were tripped and people fell to the ground.
At this moment, no one dared to continue chasing. They controlled their horses' speed, turned around, ran back, and left quickly. Since they couldn't figure out the situation, there was no need to rush over. This was the stupidest thing.
After such a delay, all the retreating infantrymen had fled back without much loss. Of course, some unlucky ones were shot in the calf when they ran back and fell to the ground wailing.
No one will save them at this moment. The war is about to begin. These people are trying their best to crawl back with great perseverance.
At this time, the most annoying training method of crawling is useful. These people crawl on the grass and crawl very fast. As long as they are not trampled to death by the Mongolian horses chasing behind them, they can basically crawl under the city wall. At this time, the steel plate
Turned it up at a small angle and pulled them in.
The Mongolian cavalry retreated and did not continue to rush towards the city wall. The infantrymen who stood on the three-meter-high springboard and relied on the 1.5-meter-high steel plate breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong ran to Yang Fan and said, "What should we do now? The shield array is useless."
Yang Fan said: "The shield formation is to train them, and Quan is to train the troops. This battlefield is so small, there is not much room for detours. On the left is the Xiaohei River, behind is the Dahei River, and in front is Guihua City. In this kind of terrain, infantry are afraid of cavalry.
."
Yang Fan continued: "I asked them to withdraw because they are all rookies and have panicked. If they don't retreat, they will suffer great losses. In this terrain, we can arrange the infantry into a long gun formation to fight them hard."
Zhang Shize nodded and said: "Yes, we have plate armor, steel crossbows, Lumi guns, and small cannons. It is enough to defeat them by just pushing them over."
Yang Fan said: "The reason for this arrangement is to let them experience what it is like to die and survive. Originally, I wanted to take the infantry one by one and let them all learn and experience it. Only those who have experienced this level
Only through bloody battles can a strong army be forged."
"I didn't expect that it was not free. I quickly found a way to crack it. Since I can't play anymore, I just changed my mind."
During the time when Jiang Bingzhong followed Yang Fan to the fortress, he felt like he was learning something new every day. Uncle Dingyuan had very rich military experience, and there was so much knowledge that he had never heard of. He boasted that he was also a general. Eight generations of his family have been in charge of the most elite troops in the Beijing camp.
Part of it. I didn't expect that Yang Fan would have so much knowledge for the first time until the big battle.
"Commander, what's the next fight?" Jiang Bingzhong asked.
"I know the ability to fight, but he doesn't have this ability. This should be Wuyar Huntaiji's idea. Have you discovered it? The Mongols in the Desert are not Mongolians from the east. Their living environment in the Western Region is very harsh.
.They understand war better. Let me test you. How do you think they will fight next?"
Jiang Bingzhong thought for a while and said: "I think they will drive the herdsmen to attack our city wall. They don't dare to use cavalry to charge. Not only that the cavalry can't attack the city, they also suffered a big loss. I don't know how many backup forces we have."
Wait for them."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "You are right, they will dismount and attack. Let the city walls and arrow towers be prepared. Let the Henan camp send all the artillery shells and bullets over as soon as possible. The infantry has assembled the spear array and is on standby.
Six thousand cavalry are also on standby. Today the cavalry will be the decisive final trump card."
This time, in addition to the 80,000-strong Beijing camp, Yang Fan also brought a 3,600-man cavalry regiment. Yang Fan also had a personal guard of 100 cavalry, and 300 student cavalry from the Xinghe Academy Lecture Hall accompanied him to observe the war.
In addition, there are an engineer battalion of 500 people and two artillery battalions.
There are a total of 6,000 cavalry, which is a considerable force. Moreover, Yang Fan's 4,000 cavalry are very elite and well-equipped.
Before coming, Xiao Niangpi summoned Zhang Geda and told him clearly that there was only one purpose for letting him lead his family and follow the master in the westward expedition, that is, if they were defeated, they would be completely defeated. They must be able to kill the master.
bring back.
These four thousand people are all equipped with the best Arabian horses, stab-proof military uniforms and horse clothes, fine steel horses with forehead wipes, and are equipped with two short-barreled flintlock muskets and six double-barreled flintlock muskets, as well as grenades and gunpowder.
Booster grenade. They will have no problem taking away Yang Fan. Everyone can block them.
"First resist the attack of the Mongolian herdsmen, then open the steel wall, move out the spear formation, defeat them, and then meet the Mongolian cavalry." Yang Fan said.
"Then how do we use our cavalry?" Zhang Shize asked.
"When the Tumuts are defeated, the Alxa cavalry as a reserve team will leave. Our cavalry will rush out to defeat them and then lay siege to the city."
Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong nodded and expressed no objection. Yang Fan's arrangement was very reasonable.
The Mongols don't have many choices. Their time window is limited. If they don't take advantage of a small victory now, they can drive the Ming army to the south bank of the river. Waiting for the Ming army to push the cannons and shields and press them over, what's the point of setting up horses?
Rods and roping ropes are all useless.
Under long-range fire, they all had to kneel down.
After all, they were the ones defending the city, and they were unwilling to abandon Guihua City and run away. They were tied to this city.
Soon the desolate horn horn sounded. Everything was as expected. In order to reduce casualties, the Mongols retained elite troops. They armed 20,000 herdsmen and gathered various siege weapons.
