Wang Zhongsi Baihu's body was shaking slightly. This was the first time in his life that he saw the charge of the Mongolian cavalry army. Smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of hooves shook the ground, like a flood that broke through the embankments.
He is from a hereditary family. During the Taizu Dynasty, his grandfather followed the fourth prince to Peiping and settled in the capital. His family has continued to flourish to this day.
At this time, his mouth was dry and his hands were sweaty. He looked at the galloping Mongolian army and felt very scared. But he knew, but he couldn't show fear. If he gets impatient, the entire household will become impatient.
Because he knows very well the principle of a raging army and a raging nest. He comes from a military family, and his grandfather told him since he was a child that a general is the courage of a soldier, and a soldier is the power of a general.

Wang Zhongsi was on horseback, leading eleven cavalrymen behind to supervise the battle. If someone runs away, the personnel directly under the Baihu Station are cavalry and are responsible for hacking them to death.
If, if his hundreds of households were defeated. He would also be beheaded by military law.
The first array is the first general flag of each hundred households. At some distance apart is an array of second general flags. The second array is arranged staggered exactly opposite the neutral arrangement of the first array.
He was riding on the horse, looking at the momentum of the cavalry group rushing over. The ground was shaken by the horses' hooves, shaking slightly up and down. That feeling was truly gut-wrenching.
The entire Beijing camp has not fought for almost a hundred years. It was very tense from top to bottom.
This is not like fighting a few isolated castles before, but fighting face to face with the enemy, or using infantry to deal with cavalry.
Wang Zhongsi forced himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and went over the training contents in his mind. The courses their officers take are all related to actual combat, and they have learned most situations on the battlefield. Don't panic at this time, calm down and you can deal with it calmly. If you get anxious and forget everything, you'll be doomed.
It's not a joke for the marshal to chop off his head. If I tell you to chop off your head, I will chop it off.
In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian cavalry had reached a distance of 150 meters in front of the formation.
With a buzzing sound, a black dot flew out of the Mongolian cavalry array, and then flew into the sky. Then, with the sound of Xiu Xiu Xiu's voice, he swooped down from high altitude.
A flurry of arrows fell on the military formation. There was a crackling noise.
The arrows falling from the sky were light arrows thrown by Tumut cavalry on galloping horses.
Most of these lost arrows are made of stone and bone, with very few metal arrowheads. Because they are extremely iron deficient. The iron was used to make scimitars.
The soldiers in the Beijing Camp lowered their heads one after another. They were wearing plate armor that reached their knees, and there were also greaves stuck in front of their calves. Not afraid of bow and arrow shooting. Only the eye viewing slits of the beak helmet need to be careful, so just lower your head so that the arrows falling from the sky are misaligned.
After a burst of bows and arrows, the cloaks of the officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp were filled with arrows. The cloaks swayed in the wind, and the ground seemed to grow grass, with many arrows appearing.
Immediately afterwards, there were several rounds of shooting. After all, the time for the war horse to rush over was enough to miss three rounds of arrows.
Soon, the Mongols showed disappointment, and the results were very limited.
There was no chaos in the formation of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, which was completely different from their battles with other Mongolian tribes. With more than 10,000 people firing arrows at the same time, within a few rounds, the enemy on the opposite side may reach the lower third, and the formation will be completely chaotic.
At this time, the enemy's military formation was loose, which was a good opportunity for them to rush in.
But now, not even a single person fell, not even a little bit of chaos. Everyone just stood there blankly. The cloak filled with arrows fluttered in the wind. Full of weird images.
Because of this situation, Jingying had already trained for it. Everyone wears armor and forms an array. Then thousands of archers cover and shoot. Anyone who panics or moves will be caught and beaten with military clubs. Facing the dense rain of arrows falling from the sky, they just lowered their heads numbly, or used their arms to block the observation slit in front of them.
Wu Ya'er, Huntaiji and Dasa stood on the arrow tower at the south gate to watch the battle. The eight thousand Alxa cavalry he brought were arranged as a reserve force.
"Jinong, charge forward. This time it's strange. The Ming army did not use firearms and crossbows to shoot first, but just let our cavalry charge over." He said with a frown.
Dasa's gray-yellow eyes were filled with worry. He was badly defeated in Toronto last year. He couldn't even defeat An Sanxi, let alone his master. He never thought that Yang Fan would lose his mind and form a formation indiscriminately.
Visible to the naked eye, the cavalry rushed across a distance of one kilometer and quickly engaged the enemy. They didn't know whether the Ming army had firearms, so the sooner they could engage the enemy, the better. At this time, there were already cavalry in front rushing through the gap in the small array of the Ming army.
The Mongols' best tactic is to break through the infantry defense line. After opening a breakthrough, then detour, intersperse, separate, and surround. In the end, they chased down the defeated troops and won a complete victory.
Because the military formations in front are all general flag combination arrays. Fifty people formed a pentagonal array, with their shields pointing outwards. Naturally, the Mongolian cavalry did not adopt the previous fighting style.
In the past, the Ming army used to defend in horizontal rows, and the Mongols rushed forward and broke through the line. This time, since the distance between the military formations was about six meters, they simply rushed in.
Since there is a ready-made passage, only a fool would hit the shield. Didn't you see those long spears sticking out? Even if the Mongols control their horses and force them to hit him, the horses will automatically run into the passage. The horses are afraid of spears.
Lin Huzi was the general flag, and when no enemy hit the sharp corners of the pentagonal formation, he immediately shouted.
"Pull up the rope. Quick."
The enemy's cavalry had already reached its maximum speed at this time. Almost in a flash. The stumbling rope must be pulled up in advance.
A short steel pipe has been nailed to the ground. At this time, the two sword and shield players immediately pulled up the trip rope and stuck it on the short steel pipe.
The speed of the galloping horse is too fast. If you use human power to pull the horse rope, your arm will be broken. How can a human arm hold back a galloping horse?
There was a roar, and the mounts of the seven or eight cavalrymen who rushed in first were tripped by the steel cables and fell forward to grab the ground. The horse's legs made a kacha sound, and the leg bones were immediately broken. The war horse let out a tragic cry, and the knight on its back was thrown off.
If it falls at such a high speed, it will definitely cause fractures. The Mongols were in mourning.
Lin Beard immediately shouted, "Assassination by spearmen!"
More than a dozen spears stabbed out like poisonous snakes, stabbing the knights who fell to the ground to death. Then quickly retract.
Although the men and horses in front fell down, the cavalry behind them could not control their speed at all, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward. Suddenly, a large piece fell down in front, and the ones in the back were pressed against the ones in front.
The passage was blocked, and the remaining cavalry ran directly into the shield.
The station hoe had been put down, and the shield was shaking violently, but except for the horses being knocked over, the shield did not fall down.
