On the dirt bag on the other side of the river.
"Su Nang, the Tiger Flag army has begun to cross the river. When do you plan to send your people to fight." Kankantada looked at Su Nang beside him and said.
They were a little far away from the river bank, but they could still see the Tiger Flag army crossing the river.
Su Nang stared at the pontoon above the river on horseback and the figures running on the pontoon. He called his personal guard Senaban and said: "Tell our people to immediately attack the soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag crossing the river." Charge and drive the people with the Tiger Flag into the river."
Senaban rode off to deliver the order.
Not long after, a group of several thousand Mongolian armored cavalry began to move out in the distance.
The sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder on a sunny day.
Thousands of Mongolian armored cavalry were densely packed like a swarm of locusts, swarming towards the river bank.
"Let go!" Lin Ping waved the command flag in his hand vigorously.
boom! boom! boom!
Four-pound cannons were fired one after another, and the cannonballs flew out of the barrels and fell towards the Mongolian armored cavalry who were charging on the other side of the river.
"Reject the horse!" Sun Chuang shouted loudly.
At the same time, a squadron captain walking in the front row waved the command flag in his hand.
The two rows of gunmen wearing breastplates standing in the front squatted on the ground, with the tail end of the gun in their hands touching the ground, and the blade of the bayonet tilted towards the sky.
The gunmen behind them raised their guns one after another and aimed at the charging Mongolian armored cavalry on the opposite side.
Nearly a hundred squatting tiger cannons were also put together. A famous gunner looked at the Mongolian armored cavalry directly in front with a serious look, and the muzzle of the gun was leveled at them.
There are nearly four thousand people in a large camp.
Sun Chuang took more than half of the people in the camp to the other side of the river to form an array. Some people were still on the pontoon bridge and had no time to come down. At this time, they were running quickly towards the river bank to increase the thickness of the array on the river bank.
The first wave of attacks suffered by the charging Mongolian armored cavalry was the artillery fire from the Tiger Flag Artillery Team.
Dozens of four-pound cannons, all solid iron balls, fell on the Mongolian cavalry team, plowing out ditches, and the surroundings were covered with flesh and blood.
Thousands of Mongolian armor are already the largest group of people staying on the river bank.
A round of artillery fire not only failed to defeat them, but also failed to restrain the charging speed of these Mongolian armored cavalry.
The second round of shelling never started.
The Mongolian armored cavalry has shortened the distance between them and the camp brought by Sun Chuang.
The artillery team on the other side had every chance to launch a second or even third round of shelling, but Lin Ping did not issue an order to continue the shelling.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and he was worried that another shelling attack would accidentally injure his own people.
At this time, the artillery team was no longer able to support the large battalion crossing the river. Next, it could only rely on this large battalion to defend the river bank and delay the subsequent large battalion crossing the river.
Except for Sun Chuang who brought a large battalion to the other side of the river, Chen Xunping had ordered other large battalions to pass through the pontoon bridge and start crossing the river.
Sun Chuang stood in the third row wearing a breastplate, and the gun in his hand was also attached with a bayonet.
The soldiers of the first battalion wearing breastplates like him were all used as human shields to ensure that others behind them could calmly attack the invading Mongolian armored cavalry.
Crouching tiger cannons and rows of muskets are ready and ready to fire at any time.
The squatting tiger cannon gunner and the fire gunner all looked at the Mongolian armored cavalry that was getting closer and closer with calm faces.
Most of them are experienced in many battles, and even if thousands of cavalry are charging right in front of them, it is not enough to make them panic.
Not to mention the charge of just a few thousand cavalry, even the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry, they have experienced it personally.
The only difference is that in the past, there were village walls and fortress walls to rely on, but now they rely on the comrades standing in front of them.
And the comrades around him are his best support.
For them, as long as their comrades are around, they have nothing to fear.
After the Mongolian armored cavalry approached, they fired a hail of arrows.
Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was quite far, and the arrows fell in vain without any threat. The Tiger Flag side would not panic and run away just because the Mongols fired a shower of arrows.
The sound of horse hooves was deafening, and every soldier guarding the river bank could no longer hear other sounds.
"Let it go!" Someone on the Tiger Flag side shouted loudly.
However, no one could hear his voice, but the command flag in his hand was seen by many people.
The firecrackers in the front row fired the firecrackers in their hands, and the squatting tiger cannons not far away were also fired one after another.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was no longer in the air. The sound of firecrackers and cannons was mixed in with it.
It takes a little longer to reload, but the sound of fire cannons is fired continuously.
After a team of firecrackers has fired the firecrackers in their hands, the row of firecrackers behind them will come up and continue to fire the firecrackers. The three rows of firecrackers continue to fire the firecrackers, ensuring the suppression of the enemy with the firecrackers. No interruption.
The Mongolian armored cavalry dozens of steps away fell down in rows like cutting wheat, but soon the Mongolian armored cavalry behind them came up again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Because of the attack of the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Fire Gun on the Mongolian Armored Cavalry, some arrows flew out sparsely from the Mongolian Armored Cavalry.
The two sides were already very close at this time, and whether it was fire guns or bows and arrows, they could hurt each other.
However, most of the arrows used by the Mongols were bone arrows, and the number of iron arrowheads was very small. Naturally, such arrows did not cause much damage.
The only saving grace was the large number. Many arrows were shot out at once and landed on the heads of the tiger-character flag soldiers.
Some unlucky soldiers were shot.
But as long as no vital points are harmed, no one takes a step back and still holds their position.
As for the tiger-character flag soldiers who died under the arrows, or whose vital parts were injured and were unable to fight anymore, someone would immediately drag the injured or dead soldiers away, and others would take the vacant positions.
Here on the river bank.
Faced with the powerful firepower of the Tiger Flag, thousands of Mongolian armored cavalry were unable to move forward at all. The only thing they could do was to exchange fire with the Tiger Flag's men and horses.
One side is a cavalry bow that doesn't even have many iron arrows, and the other side is the most advanced firearm in the world. Every iron ball shot from the gun, even if it misses the vital point, will kill half of the opponent's life. It is basically powerless. Fight again.
Riding a bow is different.
Although the Mongolian cavalry bows are also lethal, this lethality does not pose much of a threat to the soldiers of the Tiger Flag.
The Mongolian armored cavalry fell one after another, and the Mongolian armored cavalry that crowded behind them died again under the iron beads shot by the squatting tiger cannon and the fire gun.
Every time the Tiger Crouching Cannon sounded, no one of the Mongolian armored cavalry in the area was left standing. Even the war horses had countless blood holes, bleeding from the inside out like a sieve.
If someone can look at the situation on the river bank from above, they can see that the thickness of the many Mongolian armored cavalry is getting thinner.
