These heavy duty shields, three millimeters of steel plate, are tempered and case hardened. These steel plates are so strong that they cannot be cut with an axe. Modern security door steel plates are generally only one millimeter, and the more expensive ones are 1.5 or 2 millimeters. Very few can reach three millimeters.
What is outrageous is that on these shields, there are sharpened steel nails one centimeter in diameter and twenty centimeters long that are screwed on.
The war horse and knight collided under the impact of high speed, and the result can be imagined.
These heavy shields were dismantled for transportation and assembled before the battle. After putting down the hoes, the cavalry could not hit them at all. After all, no matter how fast a horse runs, it is still not a tank. Just one horsepower. Moreover, Mongolian horses are small and have no horsepower at all.
Han Sanglin is only sixteen years old this year. He entered the Beijing camp against his father's class. He is a sword and shield wielder. He held the shield from behind with one hand and carried the 1.6-meter-long Miao knife in the other hand.
In fact, he doesn't need to carry a shield. The shield slid backwards despite being hit. But it will never turn over or fall down. The soldiers were just nervous, as if they were only safe if they held their shields firmly.
There was a crackling sound, but there was no neighing of war horses or human screams. Flesh and blood spurted out like mist, covering him from the gap.
At this moment, what he felt was not fear, but a little distress for the brand-new mandarin duck jacket that he had only received before setting off. It hasn't been washed in any water, and it's bright red and really beautiful. As a result, half of his body was sprayed with flesh and blood.
Han Sanlin suddenly felt a burst of anger. When people are frightened to the extreme, they will suddenly burst into anger. He thrust the Miao knife through the top of the shield, and the arm plus the Miao knife was nearly two meters long, enough to assassinate the Mongolians on horseback.
The Miao knife is thin and long. To use this weapon, you must have physical strength and arm strength. Although it is a two-handed sword, in many cases, if the shield is not a fixed shield, but a swallow-tailed shield, or a light shield such as a card, you need to use the Miao sword with one hand.
This kind of knife is heavier than a single knife. Yanling knives generally weigh 2-3 kilograms, while Miao knives weigh about four kilograms because they are narrow. There are two ways to use this kind of knife, one is the knife method, which is similar to the sword that can kill a large range of damage, wide open and wide. Another use is in marksmanship, because the standard Miao swords of the Ming Dynasty army are all five feet long. About 16 today
This length is almost the same as that of flower guns and short guns. Therefore, the Miao Dao can be used according to the marksmanship. Therefore, this kind of weapon is very suitable for the battlefield. Back then, Qi Jiajun used the Miao sword to perfectly restrain the Japanese sword. Kill the Japanese pirates just like chopping melons and vegetables.
Han Sanglin's sudden sword attack caught the Mongols off guard. The Mongols did not expect that their opponent's knife was as long as a short spear. He was immediately picked off the horse. It fell to the ground with a loud bang.
After killing an enemy, Han Sanlin was ecstatic.
It turns out that Mongolians are not just three-headed and six-armed. If you stab them, they will die, fall down, and bleed. Immediately, Han Sanglin, who was deeply encouraged, remembered everything the instructor taught him.
Since the Mongolian couldn't break the shield, he became bolder. Various opportunistic assassinations began.
After a while, he stabbed another one to death.
Now, he was ecstatic. Because, according to the Ming Dynasty's military merit regulations. For killing a true Tartar, one would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver for his head, or he could be promoted to an official. ….
At this young age, I already had one hundred taels in hand. If you choose to be promoted, you can overtake the corps commander and become a small flag.

At this time, a cavalryman rushed over from the left. He planned to rush along the shield and wait for the opportunity to release arrows. Han Sanglin remembered what he had learned, twisted his waist, jumped up, picked up the Miao knife with both hands and slashed horizontally.
With a bang, huge heads flew up, and blood spurted out more than three feet high.
"Okay, it's a beautiful cut." General Tie Zhongtang cheered.
The cavalry has a big target. The man on horseback was taller than the man standing, and their torso was exposed above the shield. It just doesn't affect the steel crossbow and three-eyed musket shooting inside the shield array.
The general banner of Tiezhongtang stood in the middle, shouting loudly and commanding. The spearman stabbed the enemy on horseback with lightning speed.
The shields are all on wheels and can be moved.
However, at this time, after putting down the stationary hoe, it was fixed. Even if the enemy squeezes inward, he can't push it at all. Barbed wire was temporarily hung between the shields.
Although there was a considerable distance between the three shields of each small flag, the Mongols still could not rush in because of the barbed wire fence. The spearman was hiding behind, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate. The steel crossbowmen and three-eyed muskets also opened fire.
Following Tie Zhongtang's order, five three-eyed cannons were aimed in one direction and fired in a volley. The smoke was so thick that a whole group of Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses.
At this time, there were not only Mongolians clashing with shields in front, but also Mongolian cavalry rushing through the passages on both sides, stepping on the corpses and dead horses scattered all over the ground.
After these Mongolians broke through the first front, they saw that the second front was a hundred meters behind. They ignored the second front and surrounded the first, trying to eliminate them first.
At this time, the fifty people in each small flag became an isolated island. They were surrounded and attacked by Mongolian cavalry on all sides.
The cavalry are so tall that they can be seen inside the shield. Spears, steel crossbows, and three-eyed guns can also defeat them.
Similarly, the Mongols can also see inside the shield, and their bows and arrows can shoot everyone inside.
At this time, the power of plate armor is revealed. The Mongols couldn't rush in. Even if they fired arrows outside, they couldn't penetrate the plate armor. And they can't use swords if they use bows. Directly stabbed to death with spears and knives.
Especially steel crossbows because they cock and arrow very quickly. Pull the charging handle to cock the arrow.
Pull the trigger and it will shoot out immediately.
There was no need to aim at such a close distance. Even with eyes closed, the Mongolian cavalry on the outside of the shield array, which was packed like a sardine can, could be shot.
The huge power of the steel crossbow can penetrate these unarmored herdsmen levies without any pressure. One arrow can even penetrate the person in front and kill the person behind again.
The steel crossbow has high bow power, and the arrow has no tail, so it has very little resistance and is fast. At the same time, the arrows are sharp and sharp, and the arrow body is strong, and it is very easy to penetrate the human body without armor. .
