The Qi army's artillery is the best in the world.
Nowadays, as long as the cannon fires, it can trigger bursts of cheers from the soldiers of the Qi army.
At this time, the Qi army's artillery roared, and the shells smashed into the Mongolian cavalry formation, stirring up piles of mud.
The galloping cavalry was constantly hit by artillery shells, and both men and horses rolled on the ground. The cavalry behind them could not dodge and trampled the fallen horses and cavalry into pulp.
The Qi army's artillery was sharp, and the Qi army soldiers cheered with the artillery fire. However, the artillery bombardment could not stop the impact of the Mongolian light cavalry.
After all, the Qi army's artillery fires all solid bullets. The Mongolian cavalry formation is not as dense as the infantry. At the same time, the Qi army's artillery firing intervals are long, so the damage to the Mongolian army is not great. The main attack is a terrifying force that affects the Mongolian army. Military morale.
At this time, the Mongolian army's light cavalry galloped, withstanding the bombardment of the Qi army's artillery, and quickly approached the Qi army's infantry formation.
In the Qi army array, the spearmen in the front row held their spears and stared at the charging cavalry. Behind them, a large number of crossbowmen and archers aimed at the Mongolian cavalry.
"God's arm bow!" Zhao Tai, the commander of the Qi army, shouted again.
The Mongolian cavalry trampled the ground with thousands of hooves, and the rushing cavalry came over like a huge wave.
In the Qi army's formation, there was a thunderous sound, and the Qi army's divine arm archers fired an arrow in unison.
These arrows stirred up strong winds, and shot towards the enemy group at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. The Mongolian cavalry at the forefront suddenly fell down, and the horses jumped into the air. The cavalry above was thrown away by inertia, and hit the ground heavily, causing a turbulent wave. Puffy soil.
In the Mongolian formation, Meng Ge and Batu were very calm. They didn't fight the Qi army many times, but they fought with the Jin army for more than ten years. They knew that these Central Plains troops only had this ability.
Judging from the flags of the Qi army, they were attacking only the weak brigade of the Qi army. As long as the cavalry approached, it was their turn to show off their power.
At this time, the first wave of Mongolian light cavalry on the battlefield had already lost thousands of them, but they were not afraid at all and still kept rumbling with hoofs, closing the distance between the two armies.
"Archers!" Zhao Tai used his telescope to pay attention to the rapidly approaching cavalry and continued to give orders.
Almost at the same time, the running Mongolian cavalry all picked up their bows and arrows, put on the bowstrings, and stretched the bows and arrows into a full moon while running.
"Let go!" The officer in the Qi army's formation shouted loudly.
Upon hearing the order, the Qi army's archers immediately loosened their bow strings. There was a sound of strings in the Qi army's formation, nearly ten thousand sharp arrows soared into the sky, and the sky became dark.
At the same moment, the galloping Mongolian cavalry also loosened their bow strings, and countless arrows flew into the sky, and then fell overwhelmingly.
"Defense!" In the Qi army's formation, the officers looked up to the sky. Countless arrows fell like locusts, hitting the shields raised by the Qi army and the armor of the soldiers.
The Mongolian cavalry formations were covered by arrow rain, and the cavalry fell like dates. Meanwhile, soldiers in the Qi army formations were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
For a time, arrows were intertwined between the Mongolian cavalry formation and the Qi army's formation, and each side weaved a large net to cover the other.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry fired an arrow, and the cavalry immediately pulled the reins of their horses. The Qi army's spearmen on the outside of the Qi army's formation tightened their weapons and thrust their spears at an angle, waiting for the impact of the Mongolian cavalry. But when they came forward, those who rushed over The cavalrymen turned their horses around one after another, took a detour, and left the Qi army's formation.
The Mongolian light cavalry did not directly attack the Qi army's formation. Instead, they galloped and continuously fired arrows at the Qi army's formation.
In the Qi army's formation, the spearmen on the outside were constantly being shot down. The shield-bearers raised their shields to block the arrows. The crossbowmen in the formation moved in a uniform manner, drew their bowstrings, and continued to attack the galloping Mongolian cavalry. shooting.
Under the flag of the Qi Army, Zhao Tai put down his telescope and observed the Mongolian cavalry with his naked eyes, harassing the formation.
The several Qi armies that the Mongolian army rushed towards were the elites of the Qi army.
The spearmen of the Qi army all wore heavy armor, and the crossbowmen in the formation also had armor and were extremely well-equipped.
Facing the arrows coming from the Mongolian army and missing them, the soldiers did not panic, stayed at their posts, and were loyal to their duties. While withstanding the harassment of the Mongolian army, it also caused huge casualties to the Mongolian cavalry.
The Mongolian cavalry troops who were shooting were all light cavalry. The horses had no armor. Most of the cavalry were leather armor, and their defensive power was not as good as that of the Qi army.
The arrows they shot missed and fell overwhelmingly, with an astonishing momentum. The damage to the Qi army was not fatal. Many arrows missed could not break through the Qi army's armor.
Needless to say, the Qi army's powerful divine arm bow hit the Mongolian army with almost one arrow. Even if the arrows fired by the archers missed, it could easily tear through the Mongolian army's leather armor and knock the Mongolian army off their horses.
At this time, under the banner of the Mongolian army, Guyu frowned. He looked at the Mongolian soldiers who had fallen from their horses everywhere in the wilderness, with a very solemn expression. "These few weak brigades of the Qi army can actually withstand the Mongolian army." Harassment, while keeping the formation stable, also caused huge damage to the Mongolian cavalry. Is this really a weak brigade?"
On the two Mongolian wings, Meng Ge and Guyu also frowned, watching the Mongolian cavalry that was harassing and running, and kept falling off their horses.
At this time, the two of them were a little shaken and began to feel sorry for their cavalry. The Qi army's formation finally became commotion after being attacked, and the formation became somewhat loose.
Brother Meng was overjoyed when he saw this, "Heavy cavalry is ready!"
Batu also noticed that the Qi army's right wing was in chaos under the attack of light cavalry. He immediately shouted: "Heavy cavalry is ready!"
There were three thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry on each side of the Mongolian wings. They began to put on armor and, with the help of auxiliary soldiers, mounted their war horses. m.
The heavy cavalry of the Mongolian army were all wearing heavy armor.
Because the armor and cavalry were too heavy, the horses could not carry the cavalry and armor for a long time. Therefore, before charging into the battle, the Mongolian army put on their vests and mounted their war horses with the help of their servants.
When the Mongolian heavy cavalry was ready, the Mongolian light cavalry was on the battlefield and had been firing and harassing them for nearly an hour.
Under the flag of the Qi army, Zhao Tai looked up at the sky. He saw that the Mongolian light cavalry had lost power and slowed down while running and attacking.
At this time, he picked up the telescope, looked at the Mongolian army formation, and saw the heavy cavalry on both wings of the Mongolia that had been prepared.
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "Send the order and let the infantry on the left and right wing use their weaknesses to trick the Mongolian heavy cavalry out of the formation."
On the left and right wings of Mongolia, Brother Meng held the reins tightly and stared at the battlefield with evil eyes.
Under the rapid fire of the Mongolian light cavalry regardless of casualties, the Qi army's infantry formation fell into chaos, but no fatal flaw was revealed.
Just as his face was getting darker and darker, the general beside him suddenly shouted: "The formation is in chaos!"
Brother Meng looked for his voice and saw that the Qi soldiers, covered by arrows under the running fire of the Mongolian army, left their positions and turned to escape within the formation, causing chaos in the formation.
Meng Ge was instantly overjoyed. He didn't discuss it with anyone, and just shouted excitedly, "Heavy Cavalry Impact!"
Some people died, but not completely...
