When the Mongolian cavalry rushed over, they had been scattered and became a bunch of rangers in the east and west.
The effect of chain horses is so great that no one goes back to hard-top five-horse combinations that are linked together. Nine four-and-a-half-meter-long spears were placed in front of the horse's head, tilting upward at an angle of thirty degrees. Under the bumps of the war horse, the extremely elastic ash wood gun shafts shook out a large area of gun spray. Dazzling.
The Mongolians and war horses on the opposite side couldn't see clearly which one was the gun head and which one was the shadow. They walked around from both sides. As a result, the line of battle lines immediately fell into pieces.
After the chain of horses in front rushed past, there was a group of five horses behind, connected together by the cavalry team. Because of the binding, these were just poor riders who could only ride a horse, and they immediately transformed into wall riders like Yang Fan's servants. They were side by side, as close as possible to each other.
Because it was difficult to control, Yan Yingyuan did not engage in a large horizontal formation of eleven people. But in groups of five. This is very maneuverable. U-turns and maneuvers are also very easy.
The Tumut people rushed through the chain of horses and immediately discovered that although the group trainers on the opposite side were all rookies. It can be seen from the way they hold the knife. They are all raw melon and eggs.
They also saw that if his legs were not tied to the horse, he would not be able to control the horse and fight at the same time. But now Yan Yingyuan learned from Cao Aman and connected the cavalry together to form a wall formation, and the situation immediately changed.
Because the Mongols are used to relatively sparse formations. The distance between their cavalry is generally about two meters. This distance is exactly the distance between the two horse knights, their arms and the output of the scimitar.
But now, the Mongols discovered that the two of them were actually facing five people. Five knives are coming at you, but two of them are hard to defend against.
For these rookies, Yan Yingyuan can only say, can you swing a knife? If you know how, you can become a cavalryman.
If you don't know how to ride a horse, just tie your lower limbs to the horse, and that's it. All that's left is to swing the knife desperately.
Unexpectedly, Mongolia discovered that although these people were all rookies, after a group of five people were connected to form a fixed wall, their fighting advantage was completely offset, and they suffered a big loss.
Ignoring these raw melons and eggs, the five of them chopped them with their swords. After a flash of sword light, two Mongolians hacked to death two Ming army drills, but they were also hacked to death by three other swords.
As for the dead man, even though his body was spurting blood, his body was still firmly fixed on the horse. The living men continued to drive their horses forward.
Because they know that on the battlefield, they can only escape danger by gritting their teeth and rushing through the formation. If you stay on the battlefield, you may be hacked to death or shot to death at any time.
After the second wave of cavalry rushed over during the regiment training, the infantry array of the three regiments ran into the Mongolian cavalry head-on. At this time, they were first dispersed by the first wave of chain horses, and then many people were killed by the second wave of wall riding. Not only were the remaining cavalry greatly reduced in number, but their horses had also lost their speed.
Dab Lai looked at the opposite side with a gloomy expression. Today's attack was not going well. It didn't go as he imagined at all. Ten thousand cavalry rushed against more than 30,000 Han infantry. They did not expect that the Ming army's general would actually think of the method of chaining horses and ropes to form a wall.
As soon as they engaged in battle, they suffered heavy losses. First they were scattered, and then they were killed almost one by one in casualties. Many people were killed. In Dabulai's view, this is a big loss. It takes more than ten years to train a qualified cavalryman. It would be a big loss to replace one with these newbies who have put down their hoes.
At this time, three cavalry figures had already rushed behind them. Dabulai looked at three large square formations. The soldiers were holding Swiss halberds more than three meters long, and they were walking slowly under the cover of four shield formations.
In the military formation, a carriage pulled a big drum, and several shirtless strong men waved the drumsticks and beat them hard. The huge drum beat made people's blood rush. The three regiment-level infantry were square and square. Every time they took three steps forward, they shouted "Kill!", creating a shocking momentum.
This was Yan Yingyuan's idea to encourage soldiers who were going into battle for the first time. Rhythmic shouting in unison can greatly relieve tension.
After Dab Lai bypassed the riding wall as expected, the cavalry launched a large-scale assault and dispersed the infantry behind. The drama did not take place. At this time, there are three large square formations, all on the outside
Playing cards, inside are three rows of Swiss halberds. The middle is hollow. The officer commanded from the center.
Dabulai looked at the large phalanx of hedgehogs and porcupines, feeling a bit toothache. The densely protruding long weapons Swiss halberds were like sharp thorns, which greatly restricted the attack of the Mongolian cavalry.
Dab Lai shouted loudly: "Surround them and attack from all sides."
The Mongolian cavalry immediately rushed through the gaps and outside of the three phalanxes, surrounded the three phalanxes on all sides, and started killing on all sides.
Although this style of play cannot bring out their advantages, they have lost the most important impact and speed of the cavalry. The battle has reached this point, and we can only be surrounded on all sides.
For a time, these team members, who had only trained for three months, were under tremendous psychological pressure. They had never been on a battlefield, and the sight of thousands of horses galloping made them tremble and frightened. However, they knew that escaping in this valley was unrealistic and impossible. We can only bite the bullet and fight the Mongols.
[In view of the general environment,
The soldiers on the outside desperately resisted the shield and covered themselves from head to toe. The three rows of halberdiers at the back were desperately assassinating, hacking, and hooking.
Many people were so nervous that their mouths were dry without a drop of saliva, and they kept poking randomly. It doesn't matter whether it can hit the opponent or not.
Although these people were panicking and stabbing randomly, they also caused great difficulties to the Mongolian cavalry holding scimitars. There are halberds, spearheads, axes, and hooks everywhere shaking, and you will be injured if you are not careful.
They don't have iron armor, they all wear leather armor or even leather robes. Very poor defense.
Zhang Shun shouted loudly to his brothers in Xiaoqi not to fight independently. At this time, there must be cooperation.
"Stop stabbing randomly. Only three people need to stab one person to achieve victory. You are messing around like this and you won't be able to stab the enemy." Zhang Shun shouted loudly.
The Mongolian cavalry nimbly dodged the infantry's halberds left and right, and also took some time to kill the shield soldiers.
These shield soldiers are not fools. They have already turned sideways and lunged, with their heads retracted behind them. They held on to their shields desperately and resisted the squeeze of the Mongolian cavalry.
Wang Dahu yelled: "Grandpa is holding them all back. If anyone is pushed by the gun, I will chop him." He is Xiaoqi, and their Xiaoqi is a shield and sword soldier.
Yan Yingyuan, with his 700 soldiers and retainers, as well as three cavalry regiments, passed through the formation and let out a long breath. Only then did he put his heart into his stomach.
"Everyone turn around and fight back. Blow the trumpet and let the last four infantry regiments advance as well, and surround me with these 10,000 Mongolian cavalry."
After Yan Yingyuan gave the order, he immediately led the cavalry back to attack.
