The sound of dysprosium means the sound of arrows. It is famous because Sima Qian recorded the story of Modun Shanyu "murdering his father and killing his father" in "Historical Records: Biography of the Xiongnu".
It is said that at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, after Mao Dun became the prince of the Huns, his father Touman Chanyu and the new Yan family gave birth to a younger brother for Mao Dun, so Mo Dun fell out of favor.
The fall from grace was not the end, Touman still wanted to depose him, but the Xiongnu also had the custom of "establishing an elder" when establishing a prince, so Touman's Shanyu frowned and took advantage of it, and sent Maodun to the Yuezhi Kingdom as a hostage. As soon as Mao Dun arrived at the Yuezhi Kingdom, Touman Shanyu immediately launched a war against the Yuezhi Kingdom.
This was obviously his father's intention to kill him. However, Mao Dun was not fooled. He stole a thousand-mile horse belonging to King Yuezhi and managed to escape. After returning, Touman had no choice but to give him "Wanqi" because it was not convenient for him to show off his cards.
So Maodun made Mingdi, Mingdi is the sound, Dysprosium is the arrow, Mingdi is the sounding arrow, and the arrowhead can make a sharp sound when it is shot. Mao Dun gave an order to his cavalry. Anyone who fired the shot but did not know how to shoot should be beheaded.
So Mao Dun first shot his beloved horse, but some people didn't dare to shoot, so he beheaded it; then he shot his beloved wife, but some people didn't dare to shoot it, and then beheaded her. From then on, everyone on the left and right heard the sound of dysprosium and shot without daring to delay.
Finally, Mao Dun went hunting with his father Tou Man, and suddenly shot a Ming Dy at Tou Man without any warning. The followers on the left and right followed the Ming Dy without thinking, and Tou Man Chanyu was shot into a sieve on the spot. Without hesitation, Maodun "then punished his stepmother, younger brother, and ministers who did not obey" and established himself as a chanyu.
However, although Mingdi was first made by Maodun and was made famous by Sima Qian, later people did not shelve Mingdi because it was related to "parricide", but passed it down as a special-purpose arrow. , especially the grassland nomads, have always used it as a simple and effective "flare".
It is the darkest moment before dawn, and we are on the battlefield, which is chaotic and noisy. And Chatterji has led 900 cavalry. If he just shouts and shoots an ordinary arrow, I am afraid that only the people around him will A dozen or more riders at most could see the direction in which he was shooting, so the effect required by Chatterjee would not be achieved.
What Qataiji wanted was a volley, a volley directed at the forward part of the Ming army's cavalry.
This is an extremely clever move: bows and arrows can be shot directly or thrown. As long as the nine hundred riders behind Chatterji know the direction and location of the shot, they will decide whether to shoot directly or throw based on whether there are obstacles in front of them. , in short, he will be able to shoot the arrow in his hand "where Ming Dy is heading".
The Ming army's three-eyed gun is different, it can only shoot directly. This means that only the column in front of them can shoot, while the Ming army behind them will have difficulty shooting because they have their own comrades in front of them.
The result, if we use the terminology of later generations, is that the "effective projectile projection amount in a single round" is far lower than that of the Suwei pro-army!
Chatterji's rich battle experience was fully utilized at this moment.
But Ma Gui’s past seven or eight years were not in vain. Although Ming Dy itself had to dig holes in the arrows to produce sound through aerodynamic layout, its power was greatly reduced. Even if Qataiji was the best master of right-wing Mongolia, Ma Gui did not have to be afraid. The soul is chased by an arrow, but the thousand arrows fired after the sound of the dynamite must not be taken lightly.
So just after Qataiji drank, Ma Gui also shouted: "All horses!" At the same time, he did an even better job, hiding directly in the stirrup, leaning his whole body on the other side of the horse.
"Bang, bang, bang -" This is the three-eyed blunderbuss fired by the Ming army in front of them.
"咻咻咻咻咻——" This was the large wave of feather arrows that the Suwei army immediately responded to under the command of Qataiji.
Then, the screams of falling horses and the neighing of war horses were heard.
Although on such a pitch-black battlefield, relying only on the light from individual felt tents and hay piles lit around them, both sides could not easily determine the outcome of the battle in the shadows, and there was no way to judge their own losses, but Ma Gui, who was lucky enough to be unharmed, still had a feeling in his heart. Rin, the secret is not good.
The experience, decisiveness and superb archery skills of the general who led the troops on the opposite side were beyond imagination. Especially his roaring shot, which was fired at a speed that was not much slower than ordinary arrows! He obviously reacted very quickly and used the almost juggling action of hiding in the stirrup to avoid it, but the buzzer still almost brushed past his left cheek. If his speed just now had been even a little slower, he would have been killed now. About to be shot all over.
Although Ma Gui is young, he is a "veteran" in the battle formation. He has already discovered that the enemies coming from the opposite side are all cavalry with white flags on their helmets. This cavalry does not have a second unit on the right Mongolia, only Anda's guards. Only pro-army troops are qualified to wear this costume, and since Su Wei's pro-army troops appear here, the identity of the leader is easy to reveal: the top Mongolian master on the right wing and the number one general under Anda's command, Qataiji!
Two very different ideas came to Ma Gui's mind for a moment: one was to kill Qia Taiji directly, and the other was to turn around and leave.
The attraction of killing Qataiji in a formation is of course huge. Although Ma Gui has rich experience in battles and is usually very stable, he is still a passionate young man in his twenties. If he can kill the number one master and the most famous general in Mongolia in a formation, Even if you kill a thousand enemies today, this achievement will never be matched!
But Ma Gui's reason told him that achieving this goal might be more difficult than reaching the sky! If the more than a thousand cavalry he brought were all experienced and murderous "expert soldiers", if Qataiji brought ordinary Mongolian cavalry instead of Suwei's personal troops, if he had not just wanted to expand the theft The battalion effect caused the Mongolian army to panic and the formation was somewhat dispersed...
In short, the current situation is obviously more unfavorable to our side. As for Chaterji's own combat effectiveness, the power of the arrow just now can be seen, but that is only a minor trouble.
As for turning around and leaving... Ma Gui frowned slightly. Although he is not a reckless young brother who cares about his head and body, he also knows that he cannot hesitate when it is time to withdraw. However, at present, he had only just entered the Anda camp shortly after stealing the camp. He only lit a few fires in the northeast corner of the company camp and killed the Mongolian army here. The actual casualties he caused to the enemy were not large. An Da's reaction was extremely calm, and he did not send a large army to attack him in one fell swoop, thus depriving his side of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
This... I'm afraid it's not enough! If we only had this little result, we would not be able to count much of the credit after we returned. It would be a trivial matter. The key is that Anda did not suffer too many losses. Who dares to conclude that he would order an attack on Desheng Fort in anger? If he hadn't raised an army in anger, wouldn't his trip have been in vain?
No, no matter how difficult it is to kill Qia Taiji in formation, you still have to give it a try now!
