The Ming army infantry used hard bows, which were powerful and had a long range!
At such a close distance, the cotton armor could not block the armor-piercing arrows shot from the hard bow.
The rain of arrows shot by hundreds of Ming army archers instantly enveloped the Jiannu cavalry. The sounds of arrows breaking through the air, the screams of soldiers, curses, the neighing of war horses, and the sounds of trampling were endless.
The Jiannu cavalrymen who were shot in the vitals fell off their horses and were then trampled by the horses' hooves.
Although the others did not fall off their horses, they temporarily lost the ability to fight back because their horses were frightened and running around.
Although these factors are deadly, they are not the most deadly.
The most deadly thing was the Ming army spearmen who rushed up!
The spears in their hands were more than ten feet long, much longer than the sabers in the hands of the Jiannu cavalry.
The spear could both stop cavalry charges and penetrate armor.
Spears flew and blood splattered.
The riding and archery skills that the Eight Banners soldiers were proud of were useless at this moment. One after another they were injured, fell down, and died!
Torn flesh and broken armor soon covered the ground.
"put!"
Just as the Ming army was slaughtering these hundreds of cavalrymen, other Jiannu cavalrymen rushed up and began to shoot arrows.
Tulai's cavalry had several thousand men, but only a few hundred were surrounded by the Ming army. Led by officers, the other Jiannu cavalry began to fight back.
Some fearless cavalrymen braved the Ming army's attack and came to Tulai, intending to rescue him.
The Ming army was not afraid at all!
The Ming army in the front used spears and barricades, while the army in the back fought back with firearms, bows, crossbows and grenades.
For a moment, the Ming army's flank was caught in a melee.
"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, follow me and attack! Kill!"
Seeing the chaos on the Ming army's flank, the Jiannu's left wing infantry began to press forward.
The chariots and shield vehicles were in front, and the infantry were behind.
While the Ming army's firearms were being loaded with gunpowder and bullets, they rushed forward with their weapons.
"The Ming army is mighty, kill the enemy to serve the country, kill!"
Seeing this, the Ming army in front did not hesitate at all. They put down their firearms, picked up cold weapons and rushed out directly.
Amid the deafening shouts and cries of killing, the infantry of both sides collided with each other.
After close combat, there is only one word: kill!
Any tactical strategy is useless. Lure the enemy deep into your territory or play hard to get will not work.
Because retreating will lead to defeat!
The two streams of soldiers collided head-on, and the entire battlefield was a horrific sight with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the Qi family sword was stained red with blood, losing its original color. The armor-piercing spear was like a vicious poisonous snake, hitting the target in the chaotic army and constantly harvesting lives.
The lances and maces hit the helmets, crushing them and killing their owners.
Although the armor that the Jiannu heavy infantry was proud of could withstand spears and Qi family swords, it could not withstand the fatal blow of blunt weapons.
puff!
The heavily armored soldier, who was already inflexible, was hit in the stomach by a hammer.
After a moment, he could no longer suppress the churning in his stomach, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although a heavy armored infantryman was killed, it was not enough for the Ming army.
Because there were still hundreds of heavily armored soldiers in the Jiannu army.
Especially those white-armored soldiers wearing heavy iron armor. These Saurons are tall and much stronger than ordinary people in both strength and endurance.
They ignored the armor-piercing spears that were stabbing at them and the Qi family swords that were chopping at them. Mao Ren exerted all his strength and swung the horse lance in his right hand with all his might, killing or wounding several Ming soldiers.
"Go to hell!" A Ming soldier took advantage of the Sauron soldiers' inattention and attacked them from the side with a blunt weapon.
The Sauron soldier stretched out his left hand to avoid blocking, and used the lance in his right hand to hit the Ming soldier's head directly.
As the helmet deflated, scarlet blood flowed down the gap between the helmet and the head.
Both sides were engaged in a bloody battle!
Although the Ming army had a large number of infantrymen, they were unable to break through the Jiannu army's formation.
On the front side.
The Jiannu heavy-armored infantry and the white-armored Sauron soldiers can fight against several people alone.
The Ming army infantry in front was pinned down by the enemy, and the infantry behind wanted to move forward to join the battle but had no space to do so.
flank.
Although the Ming infantry surrounded hundreds of Jiannu cavalry, the remaining Jiannu cavalry did not abandon their comrades. They used bows and arrows at long range and sabers at close range to fight the Ming army, making it impossible for them to concentrate on dealing with their comrades.
The Ming cavalry was entangled by the cavalry sent out by Tulai. The two sides competed in archery and swordsmanship while riding, and both sides suffered casualties.
Aobai put down the Clairvoyance in his hand and looked at Duoduo: "Send more troops, Lord Ten! The Ming army has too many infantrymen. We can only stop them with the death warriors and Sauron soldiers! If we continue to fight, even if we can defeat the Ming army, the death warriors and Sauron soldiers will suffer heavy losses."
Tudor hesitated for a moment.
Of course he understood Oboi's concerns.
However, his vision is longer than that of Oboi.
While the Ming army's infantry was besieging and killing the Eight Banners' death squad and the Solon soldiers, the Eight Banners' cavalry was also besieging and killing the Ming army's cavalry.
If Sauron soldiers die, they can go to the Jurchens to capture them at any time, but if a Ming army cavalryman dies, it will have one less cavalryman.
Cavalry is different from infantry. It will take two or three years for it to become a force to be reckoned with!
What's more, today may not be a decisive battle. The fewer cavalry the Ming army has, the higher his chances of winning will be in the decisive battle.
"If anything happens to Tulai, it will be difficult to explain when I return!" Seeing Duoduo remained silent, Aobai could only use his trump card.
The Bordered Yellow Banner and the Plain Yellow Banner entered the Pass to share the credit, not to die.
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Tulai was in danger.
"Aobai, I will give you one thousand heavily armored infantry and one thousand heavily armored cavalry. You must attack the Ming army immediately and rescue Tulai."
"Yeah!" After receiving the order, Abai led his men to the battlefield without any hesitation.
"Order the center army and the right wing to maintain their formation and advance slowly! Anyone who disrupts the formation without permission will be killed!"
The 2,000 cavalry led by Oboi were like sharp daggers, fiercely stabbing at the flanks of the Ming army. (It has been explained before that the heavy armored infantry entered the battlefield on horseback.)
Looking at the cavalry attacking from a distance, Weng Zhiqi had to take it seriously.
Especially the heavy cavalry!
This thing can attack infantry formations! It is also a type of soldier built with silver!
I didn't expect Duoduo would be willing to send them out.
"Order the left and right wings to retreat, and the central army..." Before Weng Zhiqi could finish his words, cheers came from behind the team.
"The general is here!"
"Master Huang has brought his men here to fight the Jiannu!"
Weng Zhiqi looked back and found a huge yellow flag rushing up from behind.
"General!" Weng Zhiqi clasped his fists and bowed.
Huang Degong first wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked into the distance.
The Jiannu heavy armored infantry and heavy armored cavalry came charging forward aggressively!
"Order the left and right wings to retreat back to the formation and use chariots and spears to block the way. Weng Zhiqi, lead your men to the rear wing and use grenades and spears to resist the enemy and prevent the heavy cavalry from charging into the formation."
"Men of the Central Army, charge forward with me!"
"kill!"
