Boom boom
Thousands of horses galloped across the grassland, the sound of their hooves sounded like thunder.
Amid shouts and cries of killing, the distance between the two sides quickly closed.
Ten steps!
The Ming cavalrymen holding three-barreled guns gripped the guns tightly, ready to fire.
The cavalrymen holding bows and arrows drew their bows and gathered their strength, looking for the enemy's weaknesses.
Five steps!
The cavalry on both sides pulled the reins of their horses back at the same time to control the horses to slow down.
Whoosh——
The horse archer aimed at the enemy's cheek and released the bowstring.
Soft bow and long arrow, shoot in the face within five steps!
The most standard and most lethal attack method of cavalry archers.
Four or five defenseless cavalrymen were shot in the face by armor-piercing arrows and immediately began to bleed profusely.
They fell off their horses screaming, rolling over and over, covering their wounds with their hands.
Someone tried to pull out the arrow to relieve the pain.
However, the arrow has a barb, and it is difficult to pull out once it has penetrated the flesh and bones.
Even if you manage to pull it out, it will also pull out a large piece of flesh and blood, enlarging the wound.
The soldiers who fell off their horses were quickly covered by the horses' hooves, while the soldiers on horseback continued to move forward.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer!
step!
The wind on the grassland suddenly stopped.
Not only the wind, but time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Two giant dragons made up of soldiers and horses collided gently.
clang!
There was no chaos as imagined, nor was there a pile of blood and flesh.
There was only the sound of death from the collision of weapons.
The front-row soldiers on both sides held the reins of their horses with their left hands and fought with their swords in their right hands.
"Kill!" A Ming soldier raised his knife and chopped at the opponent's arm.
The Mongolian cavalry swung their swords to block, and the two weapons stuck together.
The Ming army loosened the reins of their horses with their left hands, pressed down with their knives in both hands, and shouted, "Go to hell!"
Seeing this, the Mongolian cavalry loosened the reins with their left hands and fought back with knives in both hands.
The two sides began to compete in strength.
Bang—the sound of bowstring rang out.
A sharp arrow pierced the Mongolian cavalryman's cheek and went out through his brain.
Before the corpse fell off the horse, another Mongolian cavalryman came up.
He thrust his sword forward, trying to attack the Ming army's neck.
The Ming army soldier knocked the armor on his left arm outward and swept the sword on his right hand forward.
With a swish, the sharp blade left a shallow mark on the opponent's armor.
Both sides stopped at the same time, and then swung their swords at each other at the same time.
Killing an enemy on the battlefield is not easy, and killing an enemy in full armor is even more difficult.
Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, hand-to-hand combat usually only results in injuries and bleeding on the other side.
As the injuries worsen and bleeding increases, the soldiers' movements will become slower and slower, and their flaws will increase.
He would die on the battlefield if no one replaced him.
While the front row cavalry were engaging in close combat, the rear row cavalry were also not idle.
They constantly used bows and arrows to launch sneak attacks, harass the enemy, and help friendly forces solve problems.
Amid shouts and cries of killing, weapons collided and sparks flew!
Guluge, the left wing commander of the Tumed tribe, was looking for Liu Zhaoji in the crowd.
In order to capture the enemy and their leader, he used hand-to-hand combat, which the Mongolian cavalry was not good at, to resist the attack of the Ming army.
"Found it!" Guluge looked at Liu Zhaoji under the central army flag and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
As long as that person is captured or killed, the Ming army will be in chaos even if it has 200,000 cavalry, not to mention 200,000 cavalry.
"Ho-hoo! Attack the center of the Ming army!" Guluge drew his bow and arrow, commanding his central army to charge towards the center of the Ming army.
Arrows flew and blood gushed out.
The elite troops of both sides met head-on.
They didn't exchange any words, they just started chopping!
Both sides wanted to kill the other side in the shortest possible time.
In addition to sophisticated weapons and armor, killing people also requires skill, strength and the ability to grasp the timing of drawing the knife.
As time went on, soldiers from both sides continued to fall.
Can...
When one person falls, another immediately takes his place.
No one retreated, everyone bravely moved forward to exchange their lives.
As the battle went on, the left wing commander Guluge noticed something was wrong.
Because he found that he could not break through Liu Zhaoji's central army at all.
Liu Zhaoji's central army seemed to have few troops and no defense-in-depth capability, but in fact its defense-in-depth capability was overwhelming.
These soldiers are fierce and fearless, daring to fight and charge.
The Mongolian cavalry needed luck to exchange one life for one, let alone two or three lives for one, otherwise they would be no match for the Ming army.
As more and more bodies fell, Guluge could no longer hold on.
He originally wanted to concentrate his forces to capture the enemy's leader, but the enemy's main general was right in front of him and he couldn't rush past him.
The Mongols' advantage is their mobility and flexibility.
The advantages of the Ming army are its well-equipped equipment and high individual combat power!
The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was not on the same level at all.
After realizing this, Guluge shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"
Hula——
The Mongolian cavalrymen, who were good at riding and shooting, suddenly pulled the reins of their horses, turned around and ran.
"Chase!" Liu Zhaoji chased relentlessly.
Amid the sound of breaking through the air, several consecutive waves of arrows disrupted the Ming army's pursuit.
The distance between the two sides widened.
Cavalry has no attack power without formation, so Liu Zhaoji had to stop the troops and reorganize the formation.
After restoring their formation, the Ming army continued to chase northward.
After chasing for a while, they met Yi Bangcai and He Jin who were responsible for the detour.
Liu Zhaoji did not let them join the team, but ordered: "You must immediately go around to the east and west sides of Guihua City to rest. If the enemy sends troops to pursue, you must immediately move closer to our troops!"
Although Yi Bangcai and He Jin did not understand Liu Zhaoji's intention, they still answered honestly: "Yes, sir."
After the two left, Liu Zhaoji continued to pursue the Mongolian cavalry.
