These headless horsemen fell off their horses after running a certain distance. Only some horses were left running around in confusion. They lost the command of their masters, neighing and running in panic.
Xin Ai Huang Taiji immediately saw the head of Doluo Tuman Taiji flying up, and his mouth opened in surprise. These damn Akito, do they know magic?
How could so many people's heads fly up for no reason?
Xin Ai Huang Taiji is a short man, he is only 1.5 meters tall, but he is very wide and very strong. So he rides a pony. Because his legs are short, he cannot climb up a horse that is too high.
As a result, when he crossed the pillar, he felt he hit something. This time he saw clearly that it was a very thin wire stretched between two pillars. The wire hit his helmet, causing sparks to fly off the helmet. The helmet flew back, and the wire brush cut off his bun and removed a piece of scalp.
He rushed over the pillar and felt the burning pain.
So that's it, these despicable Akito, they're pulling a tightrope here. There is such a thin, yet so strong steel wire in the world.
He immediately shouted, "Get down, everyone get down."
His soldiers and horses immediately fell on their horses. Rushed through the tightrope. The other soldiers and horses behind reacted quickly and immediately fell on their horses.
However, this is not over yet. There are short steel pipes on the ground, pulling steel wires.
A large number of cavalrymen rushed through the high steel pipe and fell down again. The horses were tripped and people fell to the ground.
Now no one dared to pursue further. They all controlled their horses' speed, turned around, ran back, and quickly left. Since you can't figure out the situation, there is no need to rush over. This is the stupidest thing.
After such a delay, all the retreating infantry had fled back. No big losses were received. Of course, some unlucky ones were shot in the calf when they ran back and fell to the ground wailing.
No one will save them at this moment. The war is about to begin. These people are trying their best to climb back with great perseverance.
At this time, crawling, which is the most annoying thing in training, comes into use. These people were crawling on the grass and crawling very fast. As long as they were not trampled to death by the Mongolian horses chasing after them, they could basically crawl under the city wall. At this time, the steel plate turned up at a small angle and pulled them in.
The Mongolian cavalry retreated. He didn't continue to rush over and hit the city wall. The infantrymen standing on the three-meter-high springboard and relying on the 1.5-meter-high steel plate breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong ran to Yang Fan. Said: "What should we do now? The shield formation is no longer working."
Yang Fan said: "The shield formation is to train them, and Quan is to train the troops. This battlefield is so small, there is not much room for detours. On the left is the Xiaohei River, behind is the Dahei River, and in front is Guihua City. In this kind of terrain, infantry are afraid of cavalry. ."
Yang Fan continued: "I asked them to withdraw because they are all rookies and have panicked. If they don't retreat, they will suffer great losses. In this terrain, we can arrange the infantry into a long spear formation to fight them hard."
Zhang Shize nodded and said, "Yes, we have plate armor, steel crossbows, Lumi guns, and small cannons. It's enough to defeat them by just pushing them over."
Yang Fan said: "The reason for this arrangement is to let them experience what it is like to risk death and survive. Originally, I wanted to take the infantry in turn and let them all learn and experience it. Only those who have experienced this level Only through bloody battles can a strong army be forged."
"I didn't expect that it was not for free. I quickly found a way to crack it. Since I can't play anymore, I just changed my mind."
During the time Jiang Bingzhong followed Yang Fan out of the country, he felt like he was learning something new every day. Uncle Dingyuan had very rich military experience, and he had too much knowledge that he had never heard of. He boasted that he was also a general. His family has been in charge of the most elite part of the Beijing camp for eight generations. Unexpectedly, it was the first time for Yang Fan that he had so much knowledge until the big battle.
"Commander, what's the next fight?" Jiang Bingzhong asked.
"I know the ability to fight, but he doesn't have this ability. This should be Wuyarhuntaiji's idea. Have you discovered it? The Mongolians in the Desert are not Mongolians in the east. Their lives in the Western Regions
The storage environment is very harsh. They understand war better. I'll test you, what do you think they will do next? "
Jiang Bingzhong thought for a while and said, "I think they will drive the herdsmen to attack our city wall. They don't dare to use cavalry to charge. Not only that the cavalry can't attack the city, they also suffered a big loss. I don't know how many backup forces we have." Wait for them."
Yang Fan nodded and said, "You're right, they will dismount and attack. Let the city walls and arrow towers be prepared. Let the Henan camp send all the artillery shells and bullets over as soon as possible. The infantry has assembled the spear array and is on standby. Six thousand cavalry are also on standby. Today the cavalry will be the decisive final trump card."
This time, in addition to the 80,000-strong Beijing camp, Yang Fan also brought a 3,600-strong servant cavalry regiment. Yang Fan also had 100 cavalrymen in his personal guard, and 300 student cavalrymen from the Martial Arts Lecture Hall of Xinghe Academy accompanied him to observe the war.
In addition, there are an engineer battalion of 500 people and two artillery battalions.
Zhang Shize brought 1,500 servants and cavalry. Jiang Bingzhong brought 500 servant cavalry.
There are a total of 6,000 cavalry, which is a considerable force. Moreover, Yang Fan's four thousand cavalry are very elite and well-equipped.
Before coming, Xiao Niangpi summoned Zhang Geda and told him clearly that he had only one purpose in leading his family to follow the master in the westward expedition, that is, if he was defeated, he would be completely defeated. They must be able to bring the master back intact.
These four thousand people are all equipped with the best Arabian horses, stab-proof uniforms and horse clothes. Stainless steel horse wiping forehead. Equipped with two short-barreled flintlock muskets and six double-barreled flintlock muskets, as well as grenades and powder-propelled grenades. They had no problem taking Yang Fan away. Everyone can block them.
"First resist the attack of the Mongolian herdsmen, then open the steel wall, launch the spear formation, defeat them, and then meet the Mongolian cavalry." Yang Fan said.
"Then how do we use our cavalry?" Zhang Shize asked.
"When the Tumuts are defeated, the Alxa cavalry as a reserve team will leave, and our cavalry will rush out to defeat them. Then we will lay siege to the city."
Zhang Shize and Jiang Bingzhong nodded and expressed no objection. Yang Fan's arrangement is very reasonable.
The Mongols didn't have much choice. Their time window is limited. Don't take advantage of this small victory to drive the Ming army to the south bank of the river. When the Ming army pushed the cannons, pushed the shields, and pressed them over, all the horse poles and horse ropes were useless.
They all had to kneel down under the long-range fire attack.
After all, they were the ones defending the city, and they were unwilling to abandon Guihua City and run away. They were tethered to the city.
Soon the desolate horn sounded. Everything was as expected. In order to reduce casualties, the Mongols retained elite troops. Twenty thousand herdsmen were armed and gathered with various siege weapons.
