Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 304 The Arrow
Huang Taiji ignored the Guan Ning army following him as if it were air, and fixed his eyes on the Wuyang elite soldiers who were full of fighting spirit.

This is indeed a rare elite team, with excellent equipment and high morale, far surpassing any opponent he has encountered before. Probably only the Tianxiong Army can compare with them.The two flying troops of the Ming Dynasty are all here, but now, he doesn't have the confidence to eat them in one bite!

Wuyang's elite soldiers got off their horses and quickly formed a square formation.At the top are three rows of archers, followed by a row of musketeers, then pikemen and cross-swordsmen, and hoplites are deployed at the end of the phalanx.The Lancers and Scout Squadron retreated from the two wings, and it seemed that they were preparing to charge at a distance. A series of tactical mobilizations came very smoothly, like flowing water, and I don't know if they have gone through tens of thousands of times of training.

Two thousand Guanning cavalry followed the Lancers. When the Lancers broke through the Houjin Army, they followed the breakthrough to the end, harvesting lives with spears and sabers.As for the [-] civilians, each with two grenades, although their combat effectiveness is shoddy, if the Golden Cavalry dares to rush among them, they will be blown to pieces [-]%—as long as these civilians don’t forget that they still have such a thing in their hands deadly weapon.Yang Menglong didn't dare to expect these folk husbands to be of any help, they could concentrate on playing the role of cheerleaders, and he would be satisfied if they didn't make trouble for him.

Doduo was a little annoyed when he saw the Ming army moving back and forth as if no one was around: "These Ming dogs must have eaten the guts of leopards, how dare they be so arrogant! King Khan, this servant asks to bring an elite soldier to charge and kill them, so as to show them some color." !"

Dorgon winked at his younger brother and said, "King Khan, this Ming army is full of weirdness. In my opinion, you should be cautious!"

Huang Taiji snorted coldly: "Be cautious? The Ming army doesn't mean to be cautious at all, they are all ready to rush over! Let Xi Bofei ride on it, avoid the Ming army's cannons, and shoot me into chaos!"

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, the fat old eight finally had a conscience, and didn't let the two white flags go up to die!Up to now, nearly 800 people have been killed and injured in the two white flags, which can be regarded as heavy casualties. If we fight another tough battle like this, it will hurt our muscles and bones!
As for the Xibo Flying Cavalry...Dorgon said that it doesn't matter, and it's not his troops under the Liangbai banner, so what does it matter how many casualties he has?
Thousands of Xibo flying horses spurred their fierce horses, drew their strong bows, opened a loose formation and swept towards the Wuyangwei phalanx.Although Huang Taiji likes watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very much, he is a person who pays great attention to efficiency. He has no interest in going up first to have a wonderful verbal battle with the enemy commander like in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". .Basically, most of the wars in the cold weapon era are like this, stabbing the knife when you get the chance, no nonsense.

The Ming army was even more impatient than them.When Xibo Flying Cavalry came out, they had already set up the unconscionable cannon, lit the fuse, and then turned around and ran away.This way of operating cannons opened the eyes of Houjin Warrior, and he burst out laughing - it seemed that those heartless cannons were just to scare people, how could anyone play with cannons like this!The Xibo Flying Riders have accelerated their speed, and they are confident that they can crush any enemy with their strong bows!

However, Wuyang Wei expressed dissatisfaction.When Xibo Flying Cavalry was still 150 meters away from the Ming army formation, a row of crossbow arrows shot towards them, and immediately some cavalrymen fell over with arrows.Although there were not many Xibo cavalrymen who were shot down by the arrows, they really surprised Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others. This damned crossbow can shoot so far!

Immediately afterwards———

bang bang bang bang———

The mouths of the iron barrels that had been emitting green smoke spewed out a large amount of scary smoke and flames, and the explosive package was thrown out violently by the blast wave, swirling in the air, and flew towards Hou Jin's army.The first dynamite bag was so dead that it landed right in the middle of Xibo Feiqi, boom! ! !The violent sound of thunder shook the entire battlefield, a cloud of gunpowder smoke wrapped in black and red flames billowed up, and at the same time rising up with the smoke and flames were the corpses of the Xibe cavalrymen, and even the horses under their crotches were thrown away. It was several meters high, and then it was slammed down, and it was broken into several pieces. The people in the center of the explosion disappeared in a flash of flames, and those who were farther away had a hard time, as if they were hit head-on by a giant hammer. The cavalry on horseback sprayed blood from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and flew backwards like flying a kite. The horses were violently overturned, and fell to the ground, screaming. Their internal organs had been shattered, and they could not survive. up.The power of twenty catties of granulated gunpowder is neither big nor small. Anyway, if it is hit head-on by its explosion shock wave within 50 meters, it will either kill or injure, and this is the main killing method of the unscrupulous gun—— —During the Battle of Huaihai, an unconscionable cannon of the People's Liberation Army missed and fell into the sweet potato field of the fellow villagers. With a bang, the sweet potato was shaken and flew out of the field.

The second explosive package landed 200 meters away from Huang Taiji. The shell that could only hit 300 meters away actually shot more than 400 meters away.But Hou Jin's character was extremely bad, this explosive bag fell in the middle of a bunch of cavalry, boom!At least 30 to 50 people were blown away, human legs and horse legs flying in the air like hailstones, falling with blood, almost killing the people below, when the explosion smoke dissipated, everyone was shocked to see that there was a big shallow hole The pit, the rear golden cavalry around the shallow pit disappeared, leaving only piles of minced meat. There were also many people who fell off their horses [-] meters away. The strange thing is that their horses did not move at all, so calm.It's just that if you look closer, you can see these horses are trembling all over, staring at the big hole with blank eyes, completely forgetting to run away.

The explosive packs continued to fly over, confirming Yue Tuo's words with its terrifying power: one cannonball bombarded, within [-] steps all people and horses would be destroyed!Hou Jin's army was frightened. Everyone's face was pale, and their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably. Their horses were either trembling or neighing like crazy. They fled in all directions, causing chaos among the two white flags!What Yang Menglong wanted was this effect. The intimidation effect of cannons in this era was far greater than their killing power. The unscrupulous cannons far exceeded all front-loaded smoothbore cannons in terms of killing power and psychological deterrence, blowing the souls out of the Hou Jin army. Not surprising.It's just that the effect of the heartless cannon seemed to be too good. Not only the Hou Jin army, but also the horses of the Guan Ning army roared and ran wildly. The civilians were so frightened that they held their heads in their hands and shouted wildly. , running wildly, the Wuyang Guard's formation was also thrown into chaos... Don't blame them, anyone who encounters such a terrifying explosion unexpectedly will be frightened!

Yang Menglong looked back at the Guan Ning cavalry who were in such a mess, he was furious, and roared like a lion: "General Jin, general Hu, you've lost your mind, hurry up and control the troops, and follow me!"

The golden ginseng general and the hu ginseng general didn't make a sound. These two were fighting hard with the mad horse. They were thrown back and forth on the horse's back by the horse, and their helmets were tilted to one side.

Yang Menglong wanted to cry, but he told you to plug the horse's ears with cotton, but you didn't listen. Now it's all right, it's a mess!It seemed that Guan Ning's army was hopeless, and he pointed forward on his spear: "Lancers, charge!"

"rush!!!"

The lancers all let out a violent roar, leveled their spears, and galvanized their horses, like a black hurricane, rushing straight towards the chaotic Houjin army.At the same time, the infantry also blew the charge horn. The pikemen held their spears diagonally and trotted forward. The injured Xibo horse archers who were overturned by the explosion shock wave were immediately trampled into pulp by them. Countless The ribbon-shaped black flag tied to the gun barrel fluttered in the wind, creating a spectacular and terrifying scene.The Xibo flying cavalry that stood between the two armies was in chaos at this time. Their superb riding skills and piercing arrow skills had caused the Ming army to suffer in a series of previous battles. However, at this time, these The sharpshooter who grew up on horseback could not control the horse at all. The crazy war horse either rushed directly towards his own army formation, or rushed towards the cavalry wall formed by the lancers. No matter which way they rushed, they would only be penetrated. On the tip of the spear!Braving sporadic sharp arrows, the Lancers effortlessly knocked over dozens of Xibo's flying cavalry. The sharp edge of the rolling cavalry was directed at Huang Taiji's iconic golden dragon flag!

Huang Taiji's war horse was also frightened, it stood up, kicked and jumped, several soldiers could not hold it back.Dorgon was helping, and when he saw the Lancers rushing towards him like a mountain, he couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he hissed wildly: "Protect! Protect!" An effective line of defense is now, and shouting is useless.Fortunately, there are still a group of soldiers around Huang Taiji, who are still awake until this time. Seeing this, they stabbed the out-of-control horses to death with swords, and then lined up. The people in the front half knelt on the ground with huge shields, ready to bear the most insane The people behind put their spears on the shoulders of the shield bearers, aiming the spears at the horses rushing at high speed.This is a more effective tactic of denying cavalry by stepping. Cavalry hate this the most, but this tactic is used by post-golden warriors who boast of cavalry and shooting. It is a bit ironic no matter how you look at it.

The black storm was approaching in the blink of an eye, and Yang Menglong was of course the one rushing to the front.He dismissed the line of defense composed of spears, slightly lowered the shaft of the spear, and the tip of the spear rubbed against the edge of the giant shield and pierced fiercely into the throat of the shield soldier, and the huge impact hit his cervical vertebrae. Break, the idiot added a beautiful kick, the person fell backwards, and the shield flew upwards.The Lancers in the front row all performed the same action, lowering their spear shafts, overturning the shield soldiers by virtue of the absolute advantage in the length of the spears, and then the pegasus stepped over the spearmen.Some unlucky Lancers were stabbed by the spears on their horses and overturned by the wounded horses, but most of the post-golden warriors who held spears and tried to fight against the Lancers were found on the sharp spear points of the Lancers. His home, this weak line of defense was instantly shattered, the cavalry poured in from the gap, heading straight for the Golden Dragon Banner!Later Jin soldiers were also red-eyed, and desperately rode their horses to fight with the Lancers. Some soldiers who were knocked off their horses even swung their knives at the horse's legs, trying to kill the Lancers with all their combat skills they had learned. Khan who knocked down and protected them, even if he was stabbed and chopped down by the Lancers, he would not hesitate!Taking this opportunity, Huang Taiji barely controlled the horse, and retreated in a panic under the protection of several soldiers.

Yang Menglong saw the golden dragon flag receding towards the north bank, and became impatient. He swung his saber loudly, and chopped down three rear golden infantry who were trying to attack the fool's legs.Zhong Ning called from behind: "My lord, catch it!" Throwing the spear over with all his strength, he took out his compound bow and shot at it. The rear golden cavalrymen rushing towards Yang Menglong were hit in the face one by one. He died before he hit the ground.Yang Menglong took the spear and kicked the idiot fiercely. The idiot screamed wildly, his four hooves were flying up and down like a wind and thunder, and the cavalry between the two ends of Houjin passed through them before they arrived, chasing after the emperor. Do not let go of Tai Chi.Xue Siming and Zhong Ning threw away the broken spears, and Ma Suo reached the limit and tried his best to catch up. The two strong bows, which ordinary people can't draw at all, were drawn into a full moon shape. Lianzhu arrows, which hurt the bow the most, rushed towards them or Yang Menglong's post-golden cavalry, and all of them fell down. In terms of riding and shooting, these two young men from the frontier army were no worse than the northern wolves!Like a sharp iron arrow, the three of them shot towards Huang Taiji's back like a broken bamboo.

Huang Taiji is completely confused now.He turned Houjin from a gang of robbers into a real empire. The Lord of the Jin Kingdom by his side, with a respected status, has enjoyed the glory and wealth for too long, and has lost a lot of blood. Facing the almost crazy Yang Menglong, he really can't muster up the courage to fight to the death with this stunned young man, so he can only choose to run away .But a war horse couldn't run a full-speed camel, and the distance between the two was getting closer and he could even feel the chill from the tip of the spear!
The last two guards around Huang Taiji gritted their teeth and stabbed Huang Taiji's horse in the buttocks, then turned the horse's head, raised a saber and a spear, and rushed towards Yang Menglong roaring.Yang Menglong raised the crossbow with his left hand to point at the trigger of the spear, and with a kick, the crossbow arrow shot into the left eye of the unlucky ghost almost just out of the arrow hole, and came out from the back of the head, killing him on the spot. Life.As soon as this was solved, a building of swords stretched like a rainbow, sweeping towards him, Yang Menglong hurriedly leaned forward, the saber slashed on the helmet, making a loud bang, shaking Yang Menglong's eyes with gold stars.Fortunately, the quality of the helmet was excellent, and the saber was not chopped, otherwise a large piece of his skull would be chopped off, and he died a horrible death.If one blow failed, the golden cavalryman would have no chance to make a second attack. The dazed guy passed by him and rushed towards the fleeing King Khan before he could turn his head to look up. With a single glance, a sharp arrow brushed his chin and nailed into his throat. The force was so strong that it even twisted his neck bone!
Yang Menglong only felt his head hurt, as if he had been hit hard by his grandfather with a small wooden hammer on his back. In front of his eyes, there were not only gold stars but also silver stars, and thousands of flies were buzzing in his ears. The spear seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and it was impossible to hold it.He tried his best to widen his eyes, staring at the shadow floating from left to right in front of him, his face was ferocious.If you run away, where are you going?If you can fly, I will break your wings today; if you are a cheetah, I will break your legs. In short, I must stab you to death today!I told you to lead troops into the pass to burn, kill, and loot over and over again. I told your precious brother to have nothing to do. Jiading three massacres Yangzhou ten looting. I told your precious son and grandson to play word prison tirelessly. House slave, let his mother die for me!

The shadow in front of him was huge.Yang Menglong let out a wild howl: "Go to hell!" He tried his best to stab it with a spear.Strong resistance came from the tip of the spear, and the horse hissed fiercely, it hit, this spear hit!

when!
Before Yang Menglong's smug smile could reach the corner of his mouth, there was another loud bang from the helmet. This blow was hard enough, like a heavy punch that made him fall back, thousands of gold and silver stars bloomed, Bleeding from his nostrils, he raised his hand to touch the helmet with difficulty, and what he touched was a smooth arrow shaft, which was unusually thick, obviously a heavy armor-piercing arrow.The armor-piercing heavy arrow hit him in the head.He muttered: "These guys are really perverted, it's not easy to hit me, just hit me on the head... I must test my IQ when I go back, to see if I've been beaten stupid..." The last ray of light in front of him was swallowed up by the darkness, and he The body tilted and fell off the idiot's back. The horrified roar of Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, Cao Jun and others came from his ears, as if squeezed out of his lungs, extremely violent, but to his ears It was like a mosquito screaming... In the end, all the sounds disappeared, and darkness and silence enveloped the entire battlefield...
