Because three consecutive attacks were thwarted, Sukhbalu was naturally furious.
Therefore, when the Mongols attacked Tushan for the fourth time, they obviously used all their strength and determination.
Under Sukhbaru's order, all the Mongolian cavalry that could be put into the battlefield were gathered, about five to six hundred people.
Then, the Mongolian cavalry in the forefront carried the corpses of their compatriots - just as Zhao Dali speculated, the Mongols planned to use these corpses to resist the bows and arrows of the Ming Dynasty army!
However, during the third attack on Tushan, Sukhbalu was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. Although he had the title of "warrior", warriors were also afraid of death, and there were inevitably some shadows in their hearts, so Sukhbalu did not He did not participate in the fourth attack, but led more than ten trusted cavalrymen to guard the foot of the mountain, which was known as "supervising the battle."
When the Mongolian cavalry assembled again, Sukhbalu announced loudly: "You are all athletes and warriors on the grassland, and the other party is just a cowardly and despicable Han Chinese! And our number is more than double theirs! We also want to More powerful and brave than them! The final victory must belong to the Ordos tribe!"
"I am here to announce that as long as you can break through the Han defense lines and kill the Han imperial envoys this time, every warrior will be rewarded with cattle, sheep and slaves after returning to the tribe! I am here to watch you and wait. Your victory! But if someone is still afraid to move forward, shrink back and run away, then I will cut off his head!"
After speaking, in order to show his determination, Sukhbalu drew his saber and waved it fiercely at the Mongolian knights.
After hearing Sukhbalu's promises and threats, the Mongolian cavalry looked determined and fierce.
In this era, the Junggar Khanate was the last glory of the Mongolian tribe. The rest of the Mongolian cavalry had long lost the glory of their ancestors, and had also lost their determination and courage in bloody battles. They could only bully the weak and fight with the wind, so they went forward During the three attacks, they only encountered some slight damage and then retreated hastily. This is a clear example of the decline of the Mongolian cavalry.
However, now because of Sukhbalu's threat, the Mongolian cavalry found that they had lost their retreat. They could only move forward but not retreat. They might survive if they moved forward, but they would definitely be killed by Sukhbalu if they retreated. But they finally inspired Inspired by the wolf nature of the prairie people, all of them showed a resolute and brave attitude.
After seeing the changes in the Mongolian cavalry, Sukhbalu looked satisfied, then pointed his saber at the top of Tushan Mountain and shouted loudly: "Warriors of Ordos, the heroic spirits of our ancestors are watching you, and the Qiyan leader is waiting for you. The news of victory, only advance and never retreat, kill!"
Following Sukhbaru's order, the Mongolian cavalry shouted loudly and rushed towards the mountain again!
This time, the Mongolian cavalry was much braver than before! Many people had red eyes and murderous intent.
When the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the mountainside, due to the steepness of the mountainside, the speed of the attack suddenly slowed down, and the expected arrow rain soon appeared.
However, this time the Mongolian cavalry performed much smarter than the previous times. The following cavalry did not continue to crowd forward, but retained a certain space. The more than a hundred cavalry in the front row used the corpses of their compatriots to resist the arrows. It rained, and the casualties were much less than the previous times.
As a result, the morale of the Mongolian cavalry immediately increased greatly, and they quickly rushed to the middle of the mountainside. As long as they rushed forward another seven or eight feet, they could completely get rid of the situation of being beaten and unable to fight back. They could fight back with bows and arrows. Army.
When they can fight back with bows and arrows, they can weaken the resistance of the Ming army, and the subsequent Mongolian cavalry can charge forward in one go!
However, although the corpses of compatriots can protect the bodies of the Mongolian cavalry, they cannot protect their horses.
The Ming army responded quickly and immediately changed their target to the horses of the Mongolian cavalry.
After the war horse was injured by an arrow, it naturally lost control. In addition, most of the Mongolian cavalry were carrying the corpses of their compatriots at this time, and their control over the horses was greatly reduced. Therefore, the Mongolian cavalry team quickly became chaotic. , Mongolian cavalry were constantly being thrown off their horses, and many Mongolian cavalry horses even collided with each other.
As a result, the Mongolian cavalry's attack speed was slowed down again.
Seeing this scene, Sukhbalu at the foot of the mountain was furious again and shouted at the Mongolian cavalry: "Don't mess up, charge forward! As long as you rush in front of the Han people, Han'er will be a lamb to be slaughtered! Move forward!" Charge! Charge forward!"
Thinking that Sukhbalu was supervising the battle at the foot of the mountain, he had no room to retreat. The Mongolian cavalry at the front performed extremely bravely this time. They refused to retreat in the face of setbacks and charged firmly against the rain of arrows.
There were even many Mongolian cavalry who gave up their increasingly uncontrollable horses, dismounted and became infantry. They still carried the corpses of their compatriots forward, but their speed increased a lot.
However, at this time, the Ming army's arrow rain suddenly became sparse, and the threat was greatly reduced. Many Ming soldiers gave up their bows and arrows. Instead, they lifted rocks from the mountains and threw them at the Mongolian cavalry on the mountainside. go!
Stones weighing tens of kilograms were dropped from a height of more than ten feet, and their lethality was much more powerful than bows and arrows. Even if the Mongolian cavalry were carrying the corpses of their compatriots, it would be difficult to resist, and it would even affect the Mongolian cavalry's ability to avoid the stones. The bodies of the compatriots who resisted the bows and arrows became a burden at this moment, so some Mongolian cavalry were soon killed and injured by stones.
However, after seeing this scene, Sukhbalu at the foot of the mountain became happy and ordered loudly: "The arrows of the Han people have been used up! The stones on the top of the mountain will soon be used up! Tell the front Warriors, abandon the corpses and advance at full speed, there is no threat from the arrows of the Han people!"
As Sukhbaru's orders were conveyed, fewer and fewer stones fell from the top of the mountain. The Mongolian cavalry in front quickly abandoned the bodies of their companions and rushed toward the top of the mountain with swords and guns.
The subsequent Mongolian cavalry also believed that the Ming army had lost their means of defense, and soon forgot the tactic of keeping a distance. They also rode forward one after another, intending to break through the Ming army's defense line in one go.
In this way, more than 500 Mongolian cavalry huddled together on the mountainside again.
This time, the Mongolian cavalry were closer to the top of the mountain, but because the road became narrower, they became more crowded with each other.
At the same time, the Mongolian cavalry had lost the means to resist bows and arrows!
Then, a shout suddenly came from the top of the mountain: "Prepare the bow and arrow, shoot in two bursts! Don't be stingy with arrows! Try to kill as many Tatars as possible! Shoot as many as you can! Beat them completely!"
As this shout fell, the arrow rain on the top of the mountain suddenly became fierce again.
Even more violent than before!
At the same time, the number of rocks falling from the top of the mountain also increased again!
At this time, on the top of Tushan Mountain, Zhao Junchen, like an ordinary soldier, worked with Xu Qingyan to lift a stone weighing twenty or thirty kilograms, and then threw it fiercely at the Mongolian cavalry on the mountainside!
Not only did Zhao Junchen personally go into battle, but the Jinyi guards and Shanxi cavalry who were relatively poor at shooting were also throwing stones at the mountainside with all their strength!
At the same time, all the arrows were concentrated in the hands of the soldiers who were more skilled in archery. These soldiers were also constantly drawing their bows and shooting arrows. This time, the Mongolian cavalry were closer to the top of the mountain and more crowded with each other, so they almost Every arrow can cause death or injury to the enemy!
In this way, in just a cup of tea, seventy or eighty Mongolian cavalry were shot to death.
Coupled with the Mongolian cavalry who were killed and injured by stones, the result was already comparable to the sum of the previous three times!
This is Zhao Junchen's plan. First, he will show weakness to the enemy and pretend that he has insufficient arrows to make the Mongolians lose their vigilance and voluntarily give up their means of resisting bows and arrows. This will also make the Mongolians closer and more crowded, and then explode with all their strength. The ultimate goal is to kill and injure the Mongols as much as possible, completely inflict pain on the Mongols, and completely break the morale and courage of the Mongols!
If this plan goes well, then we can achieve brilliant results, and maybe even reverse our own military weakness in one fell swoop!
As long as there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, our side defends the steepness of the mountains, and the Mongols suffer repeated setbacks, the situation will be completely reversed, and the Mongolian cavalry's plan to intercept and kill Zhao Junchen will completely fail!
After careful consideration, Zhao Dali agreed to Zhao Junchen's plan!
Now, Zhao Junchen's plan is progressing smoothly, the Mongolian cavalry has begun to suffer a large number of casualties, and their courage and morale have gradually begun to be exhausted.
According to Zhao Junchen's expectation, the Mongolian cavalry should completely collapse and retreat. Because they have lost two to three hundred troops, their determination to attack Tushan will be completely shaken, and it will definitely take a long time to resume. At that time, Zhao Junchen will be able to gain more preparation time for the next attack, and the possibility of reinforcements will become greater and greater.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
After Sukhbalu saw the changes in the situation on the mountainside, he knew that he had been played by the cunning Han people again!
Suddenly, Sukhbalu was extremely angry and ignored the arrow wound on his shoulder. He led the remaining cavalry and rushed to the mountainside. He raised his sword and hacked to death several Mongolian cavalry huddled at the rear. Then he shouted loudly: "At one go, charge! Those who retreat! Kill them!"
It must be said that Sukhbalu’s decision this time was very wise!
In order to kill the enemy as much as possible, Zhao Junchen took the initiative to show weakness and allowed the Mongolian cavalry to approach ten feet away from the top of the mountain.
This means that as long as the Mongolian cavalry works harder, they will be able to directly attack the Ming army on the top of the mountain!
