As the Qi army advanced, a team also gathered in the military camp in the south of the city.
The once strong bodies were already emaciated and sickly, but the habits developed over decades of military service still prompted them to gather together and prepare for battle relying on their horses and antlers.
A white-haired old pawn.
All those under the age of fifty who were in good health were separated, leaving only the former regular soldiers who began to age after their fifties, and those who were missing arms and legs. They had a lot of practical experience but were already old and weak. They were gathered together by Bilige Khan and placed in the south of the city. At the very least, they could lead the others to hold on for a while and buy enough time for the armies on both wings.
The soft arrow hit the Qi army's shield, but did not stop the Qi army's progress at all.
The lookout towers on both sides had long been destroyed by Xie Yong. Now, Xie Yong also dismounted his horse and handed it over to his own soldiers.
He Xie Yong was born as a step general!
The two armies were getting closer and closer, so close that the old and weak people behind Juma could clearly see the cold light reflected by the firelight on the iron clothes.
At 100 steps, there were people organizing volleys, but all the good weapons were taken away. What they had in their hands were only small soft bows used by children and some old bows that were almost dry and cracked for decades. They hit the Qi army. It sounds pretty good on the armor.
There were shouts and curses in the team, some of them were cursing Qi Jun, but most of them were cursing that Bilige Khan was not a human being and was simply unconscionable.
At 50 steps, Xie Yong raised his hand and pointed straight ahead.
"The whole army attacks!"
The high-pitched sound of the suona shot straight into the sky, and Xian Dengying, who was still walking quickly, started running.
"Follow the Sajia!" Luda took the lead, holding a gallbladder stick and rammed it head-on. With one sweep of the stick, he picked up a rebel horse, opened the gap, and swung several times to instantly kill several Yuan soldiers hiding behind. They climbed into the camp with Ruda as the vanguard and plunged into the Yuan army's formation.
"The two wings and rear troops immediately formed defensive formations!" Xie Yong ordered when he saw Ruda leading his troops into the Yuan army's formation.
The trumpeter raised his suona and took the lead in blowing the loud long and short sounds. Then, the trumpeters in the military formation also heard the trumpet sound from the commander's position and recognized that it was an order given to the two wings and the rear army. The trumpeter immediately began to blast his trumpets one after another until they reached the ears of the commanders on both wings and rear.
The corresponding troops immediately blew their flags to indicate the situation. The trumpeter understood the situation and blew it twice more before stopping.
"The whole army is facing outwards, and the car and camp are on defense!"
The military commanders who received the order immediately gave the order. After the trumpeter passed the order in the same way, the subordinate officers of the ministries who received the order led their subordinates to turn around.
The lower-level officers already knew the general plan. All they had to do was wait patiently for the general's order. Upon hearing the order to defend, the lower-level officers immediately led their men to face outwards. The carriage camp pushed the light cart to the front and arranged it in a formation. The Yanyue Formation. Put down the support on the chariot, pick up the spear, jump on the chariot, and aim the tip of the spear into the small hole reserved for the spear on the front panel of the chariot.
Shielders and spearmen followed closely, guarding the gaps between the cars. The crossbowman also came behind the spearman, cocked the crossbow string, held the crossbow arrow in hand, and waited for the next cavalry attack.
To the east, the sun rises.
Thousands of rays of rays of light shine through the gaps in the clouds on the endless prairie, laying a layer of golden light on this vast wilderness.
In the distance, the Yuan Army cavalry wearing rays of light rushed out from behind the city wall, turned a corner, and accelerated towards the two wings.
. . . . . .
Previously, when the Condor Shooter saw his own horse running back, he had already sent a message to the city. The east and west city lords were dragged out of bed by the order soldiers. Just when they were about to get angry, they heard the order soldiers say that the south city wall was attacked by the Qi army. When the enemy attacked, he quickly pushed away the messenger, put on his robe and armor indiscriminately, and asked people to immediately wake up the sleeping young men.
Suddenly, the gongs and drums in the camp outside the city were noisy, waking up the young men and women who were still sleeping. They were sleeping in their clothes and immediately got up. Those with horses picked up the saddles and ran towards their horses. They also rushed out of the tent, grabbed the spear leaning on the wooden frame, and rallied towards the school grounds.
In just a quarter of an hour, the team barely stood up.
With no armor to wear, they stood together unevenly, looking as if they had not woken up. After being whipped for nearly half a month, these young men could finally understand simple instructions and form simple military formations.
"The Qi army is storming the south city wall. Everyone, come with me to rescue!" After speaking, the general of the East City got on his horse and rushed out at the lead.
The regular soldiers and cavalry troops followed closely, and the young and strong cavalry troops also quickly followed.
Not long after, there were only a few half-grown children and younger brothers and sisters who were no taller than a cartwheel left in the entire Eastern Army camp.
The same is true for the military camp in Xicheng.
. . . . . .
Meng Gen was a Taiji from a small tribe in the Tumote tribe. He was favored by the Great Khan and appointed Tu Mian Nayan of the Eastern Army to command the entire Eastern Army and Horse Army.
This has nothing to do with the fact that he is the nephew of Tumote Hutaiji Ombu Chuhuer. It is all because of his bravery in combat.
Although at such a young age, Meng Gen was not happy at all.
Even though he looked very majestic with his 60,000-horse army, Meng Gen knew exactly what they were like. This group of people has only been together for less than half a month. Most of them are young and energetic young men and fierce girls. Although they look very docile when they were whipped during training, they all hold back a secret feeling towards themselves. Share fire.
It is estimated that they will be very powerful when fighting with the wind, but once the attack is blocked or dispersed, they will probably abandon themselves without saying a word and run away as an organization.
How could this group of young men from different tribes gather into an army so easily if it weren't for the orders of Huetaiji of their respective tribes.
The prestige of Bilige Khan? Not worthy yet.
Meng Gen shook his head to clear away the distracting thoughts in his mind and stared at the Qi army's formation.
"Let's go!" Meng Gen ordered, and the Yuan army behind him followed closely, and followed Meng Gen straight towards the Qi army.
As for why not use Manguye.
Their cavalry bows could not shoot as far as Qi's crossbows, but they could shoot faster.
Their bows could shoot up 180 steps with light arrows, but they could not break Qi's armor. Although heavy arrows could break through the armor, the range was even closer.
The Qi army's standard crossbows can hit nearly 400 steps. When they charged to the effective range and fired arrows before leaving, the Qi army would have fired several rounds if they were fast.
The most important thing is that even if the Qi army can be killed with Mangujie, during this period of time, the Qi army can attack the city several times. The attacker is the Qi army and not them!
We can only forcefully charge into the Qi army's formation!
Meng Gen held the reins tightly, kicked the horse's belly, and sped up a little more.
. . . . . .
The commander of the right army, Li Cang, stared closely at the Yuan army rushing towards them, calculating the distance in his mind.
When the Yuan army was more than 400 steps closer, Li Cang drew his saber.
"Shoot!" The trumpeter beside Li Cang immediately played the sound of releasing arrows. The crossbowman received the order and raised the crossbow in unison. The assistant next to him quickly placed the arrows, and the crossbowman raised the crossbow and pulled the trigger. , a round of arrow rain covered the sky and the sun, shooting at the Yuan army rushing towards them.
The crossbowman immediately placed the front end of the crossbow on the ground. The assistant leaned over and stepped on the stirrup together with the crossbowman. The two of them wound the string together, and the crossbowman raised the crossbow again.
"Shoot!!" Li Cang shouted again!
The crossbowman once again finished releasing, shooting, and cocking the arrow in a uniform manner.
"Shoot!!!" The veins on Li Cang's neck popped out and he shouted again!
The crossbowman fired again, cocking.
An overwhelming rain of arrows was shot towards the Yuan army!
"Raise your shield!"
Meng Gen, who was charging straight in with a spear in hand, shouted to the rear without hesitation!
Perhaps due to the effects of training, or perhaps due to an instinctive defensive reaction, everyone behind them raised their bucklers and shrank their heads and bodies behind the shields as much as possible.
Soon, the first round of arrow rain fell on the Yuan army.
The buckler's effect was minimal. Even if it blocked the body, the horse was still exposed to the arrows.
A crossbow arrow shot straight through the horse's skull, and it fell to the ground instantly. The knight on its back was thrown away, and it fell to the ground without any movement. Those who were lucky enough to be alive were knocked down by the friendly forces behind them and trampled to pulp by the huge horse army.
The remaining ones penetrated the shield and hit Tianling Gai, and were knocked unconscious and fell off their horses. Some of the shields were raised too high and were shot in the torso, killing them on the spot.
The arrow rain was gone, and just when everyone looked up at the sky to observe, they found in despair that the next wave of arrow rain was coming again.
The companions who were still laughing and laughing in the morning were already lying on the ground without sound. The lumps of meat on the road further broke down the psychological defense of the Yuan army who followed. Half a month ago, they were still honest herdsmen, dedicated to their work. They were afraid of the herds. As a few "smart people" slowed down their horses, the others followed suit and slowed down. They observed the situation carefully. If the dog-like Meng Gen penetrated the Qi people's military formation, , then they will become the bravest Battle, on the contrary, then they will preserve their vitality...
Meng Gen, who was rushing at the front, didn't know what his good subordinates were thinking. Fortunately, the crossbow arrow only hit his chest and was blocked by the brass goggles. Now, except for the pain in his chest, he felt nothing else. No injuries at all.
"Changshengtian still loves me!"
The more Meng Gen thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes turned red, and he felt as if the Qi army's chariot in front of him could be smashed with a single shot.
Immortal God gives me strength!
Soon they were approaching a place two hundred steps away from the Qi army.
"Fire the arrow!"
Meng Gen shouted, took out his bow and arrow and shot.
The people behind him followed suit, quickly took out their bows and arrows, and started shooting arrows desperately.
After six rounds of volleys, Li Cang ordered the crossbowmen to retreat. The crossbowmen retreated to the rear in an orderly manner. The flailman holding a flail quickly took up his position and stood behind the spearman.
Some of the car camp soldiers squatting on the car and some elite archers stood at the front, shooting at some Yuan troops.
As a local cotton man, Meng Gen's armor is naturally extraordinary. Even the war horse under his crotch is assigned a part of the vest, covering his head, neck and chest.
Meng Gen, who was full of excitement, seemed to have forgotten the pain, and his reaction speed increased greatly. He actually dodged many bows and arrows shot at his head. For a while, no archer could inflict serious damage. Instead, Meng Gen took the opportunity to shoot several arrows. people.
When the arrow rain came, the shield-bearer raised his shield, and the gunner and flail-hand also lowered their heads and put the round shields tied to their arms on their heads. Only the clanging sound of blows was heard in the Qi army's formation. The Yuan army's first round of attacks used light arrows that could not penetrate the Qi army's armor.
Soon, the second and third rounds of arrow rain also fell, each time heavier and heavier.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and they knew that the fourth round of the most deadly arrow rain was coming.
Meng Gen drew out a heavy arrow and threw it out again. It instantly penetrated the helmet of an unlucky guy from the Qi army. He lay on the ground and twitched and died.
Seeing this, the surrounding Qi troops shrank back again.
Seeing that the assault had reached fifty steps, Meng Gen immediately put the bow back into the bow pouch, grabbed the spear hanging on the saddle, kicked the horse in the belly, and rushed towards the carriage camp.
"Hold on, hold still, spearmen, get ready!" the commander of the car camp shouted to both sides. The spearmen squatting on the light car held the guns in their hands tightly, and they were so nervous that they swallowed wildly.
Yuan Jiang, who was running wildly in the distance, was getting closer and closer to him. Gradually, he could see the ferocious face with his tongue hanging out.
Meng Gen quickly searched for the weak points of the car camp, but unfortunately, there were long gunmen filling the gaps between the cars. There was no other way, so he had to charge hard.
Meng Gen accelerated again and rushed straight into a gap, getting closer and closer. Meng Gen could even see the shock on the faces of the Qi soldiers.
The spear heads intertwined with each other, and Meng Gen suddenly slapped hard on both sides. A small space that could accommodate one person and one horse appeared in front of Meng Gen.
"Hahaha, all the dogs will die!" Meng Gen swept hard, and the spearmen's throats were instantly slit, opening a gap. Seeing this, the Yuan army behind them rushed towards the gap like crazy.
Boom!
Before he could be happy, Meng Gen flew up, and with the whine of his beloved horse, he fell heavily to the ground. The shield hand on the side was overjoyed, raised his big shield, and hit Meng Gen's neck with the bottom of the shield. .
With a click, Tumote's Taiji and Tumian's Yan Menggen were silent.
The Yuan army rushing at the front saw Meng Gen's experience, and tightened their horses with a look of horror, trying to turn away. However, the Yuan army behind did not see Meng Gen's experience, and just thought it was the brave Tu Mian Nayan who had already died. After rushing into the Qi army's formation, they bumped into those comrades who wanted to abduct them. The Yuan army in front looked desperate, and even their men and horses hit the iron chain between the two cars. Watching the chain squeeze into his chest...
Squeak!
After all, the two chariots collided with each other with such force that they were forced back a few steps. The supporting iron rods were driven into the ground, and the people in the vehicles were also knocked out and fell to the ground. They were quickly dragged into the shield by Pao Ze behind them. In the formation, they were moved to the rear. Finally, after the chain was squeezed continuously, the steel nail nailed to the car at one end fell apart and hung limply on the other car.
Fortunately, the speed of the Yuan army also stagnated, and it was completely unable to form an impact to impact the military formation.
"Brothers, hold on! Their second wave of charges is coming!" Li Cang shouted, picked up his saber and rushed forward.
The second wave of Yuan troops was about fifty steps away from the first wave of Yuan troops. Seeing that the former army had broken through the Qi army's defense line, they decided not to charge. While the former army was fighting with the Qi army, the leader Min Hanna Yan drew his bow and shouted behind him:
"Mangu evil!"
After saying that, Zuo hit the horse's head and turned sideways to face the Qi army's formation, and began to shoot arrows.
The army behind him followed suit and took out their bows and arrows and shot at the Qi army.
"Haha, that idiot Meng Gen created a chance for me!"
Minhan laughed and circled to the left, about to strike again, when a cold light flashed and a moon-cutting knife chopped into his chest.
