Chapter 1313 The Ball and Cavalry Showdown
Chapter 1311: Ball and Cavalry Showdown
The Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry rushed forward one after another, trying to break through the firepower net built by the Han army''s powerful crossbows and javelins, but the firepower of the Han army was too fierce. Coupled with the accumulation of corpses of the soldiers who died in battle in front, the speed of the soldiers who were filled in from behind was greatly limited, so the Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry could not rush forward.
Temujin wanted to consume Qin Hao''s weapons at first, but gradually he felt something was wrong. The number of javelins thrown in the array was conservatively estimated to exceed 150,000, but he had no intention of restraining it at all.
Temujin didn''t know how many javelins Qin Hao had left, but he knew that he couldn''t continue to waste like this.
The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry had paid nearly 10,000 people, but he didn''t even get close to the Longmen Formation. He continued to use his lives to consume the material reserves in Qin Hao''s hands, and he might not be able to find Qin Hao''s bottom even if he had to spend all his soldiers.
"I was wrong. I didn''t expect that Qin Hao had prepared so many javelins in advance and built such a intensive killing formation."
Temujin showed a solemn expression on his face, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order, give up the frontal attack, change the troops and divide them into two groups, and attack from the left and right."
"No."
Temujin has already seen that it is impossible to rush over the frontal attack. Since this road cannot be done, he can only have another way, and the troops are divided into two groups to attack the Longmen Formation left and right, so that the firepower of the Han army in the Longmen Formation can be dispersed, and the corpses of their own people on the frontal road can be avoided to speed up. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.
The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry had already lost nearly 10,000 troops before they even approached the Longmen Formation. The front battlefield was full of the corpses of Yuanmeng soldiers, which was very unfavorable to the cavalry''s advance.
After Temujin''s order to encircle left and right, the Yuan army did not rush into the guns of the Han army in no nonchalant way, but divided into two parts, one was led by Zhebe, and the other was led by Ogedei, and they surrounded the left and right of the Longmen Formation. Without the bodies and horse corpses blocking, the army''s advance was five points faster.
“Hurry, throw javelins quickly, and both speed up the throwing speed.”
Xue Rengui, who was in charge of the outer dragon gate formation, changed his strategy when he saw this and shouted to the soldiers: "Jaberlin is only useful if it is still out. If it is left in his hand, it is scrap iron.
I don’t ask you to have accuracy, just throw it out and finish the ball before Yuan Meng hits them. ”
When the Han soldiers heard this, they all threw javelins harder, but the number of million javelins was too large, and the number of soldiers threw was less than 20,000. They were exhausted and exhausted, and they only threw thirty or forty rounds. After that, they had no strength. In addition, Yuan Meng had already killed them, and the javelins used for throwing were also useless.
With the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry not as close as possible to casualties, the firepower dispersed the Han army''s firepower network, and was eventually broken through by the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry.
"The gunman retreated, the spearman stepped forward, the shield hand held the shield, and adopted the gun-shield-in-one tactic." Xue Rengui shouted.
A large number of long spearmen rushed forward quickly, either putting the spear in their hands on the shield, or passing the spear through the hole shield of the shield.
Under the armed forces of countless gun forests, in a blink of an eye, the shield array outside the Longmen Formation became a hedgehog shell, and anyone who approached would definitely hit the head and burst into blood.
Seeing this, Zhebei, who was charging at the forefront, not only did not slow down but showed joy. He raised his bow and shot out five arrows directly. These five arrows shot through five shields, and then shot the five shield players behind the shield to death.
With the death of five sword and shield hands, a small gap suddenly appeared in the Han army''s shield formation, but in a flash, someone raised his shield to fill the gap.
Seeing this, Zhebiao stopped firing useless arrows, but raised his bow in his hand and shouted: "I just want to block my Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry, which is simply a dream. Soldiers, rush."
"kill…"
When he found that the enemy was close to him, the Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry seemed to be crazy. Even though he knew that there was a forest of strong shields and guns in front, he still rushed forward without hesitation.
The shields equipped by the Han army have been transformed and are characteristic shields that imitate the trapped camp. The shields can be connected into a whole, which can disperse the impact of the cavalry to the greatest extent.
But even so, a large number of shields were still smashed. Under this instop impact force, some soldiers were even knocked away for more than ten meters. During their whereabouts, they happened to fall in the gun forest area, and were stabbed to death by their own spear.
"Hold on, hold on..."
Xue Rengui roared, but the shield and gun formation were already there. How could he block the iron hooves of the cavalry by relying solely on his body?
Xue Rengui seemed to have expected this, so he simply resisted for a while and decided to retreat to the second shield wall, but soon the second shield wall was also broken, and Xue Rengui then retreated to the third shield wall.
The Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry defeated the two shield formations of the Han army with unstoppable momentum. When they encountered the third route, the impact of the cavalry was not much left, while Xue Rengui took advantage of the victory to pursue and used the shield formation to forcibly block the cavalry.
"kill…"
The most primitive battle started between infantry and cavalry.
"Mo Daoshi attacked."
Xue Rengui personally took Mo Dao''s hand and rushed towards the cavalry. The extremely sharp Mo Dao and the tactics of pushing forward like a wall, killing Yuanqi crying and calling his parents, leaving countless corpses along the way.
At the same time, Yang Erlang, Qin Lie, Hua Rong and Yang Zhi, guarding the other four gates, also took advantage of the Yuanqi being unloaded and launched a fierce counterattack.
In a blink of an eye, all five formations of the outer dragon gate ignited an extremely fierce battle. Due to the small face angle of the Yuan cavalry, as they fought, a large number of cavalry began to break into the formation gate.
Temujin wants to forcibly defeat the Longmen Formation, but when the war comes, who still cares where the Xingmen is? Isn''t it all just drilling inside if there is a crack.
The gap between the five formations of the outer dragon gate, that is, the formation gate, is so large, and the number of Yuan cavalry is so large, and there are only a few Han troops that can match, so it is difficult not to squeeze into the formation gate.
This is also Qin Hao''s most cleverness. Yuan Meng consciously broke into the Dragon Gate Formation, and he couldn''t control it, and after he came in, he naturally couldn''t get out.
Wang Meng, who was guarding one of the five inner gates, shouted when he saw a large number of cavalry breaking in front of him, and immediately shouted: "Bid the Javet."
For a time, thousands of guns flew together, and countless cavalrymen were nailed to death.
Wen Tianxiang, Jiang Jiong, Shi Long, and Mu Feng either used shield squeezing tactics, gun and shield tactics, or direct crossbow shooting, and all wiped out the enemy cavalry that broke into the formation.
For a time, the number of Yuanmeng cavalry began to decrease rapidly.
