Chapter 110 Repairing Fushun Pass (4)
The Mongolian light cavalry entered within seventy steps of the infantry phalanx. Gao Shixin ordered: "Let it go!"
Five hundred archers pulled their step bows one after another, and the black arrows flew into space, covering the formation that charged towards the Mongolian light cavalry. Long arrows pierced into the Mongolian cavalry crowd. These Mongolian cavalry with almost no armor were caught in the arrows, and the arrows easily penetrated their cotton coats and penetrated into their bodies.
The Korqin Mongolian light cavalrymen were stomping on their horses. About fifty Mongolian light cavalry fell from their horses and were trampled into meat paste by the horse's hooves galloping from behind.
The first round of arrows shot out, followed by the second round of light arrows flying into the sky.
"Bound, release!"
The crossbow player who had entered the front row of sword cards was holding a crossbow machine, aimed at the approaching Mongolian light cavalry, and pressed down the hanging knife.
"Swoosh swish swish swish" a row of crossbow arrows pulled a low and straight arc and pierced towards the Mongolian cavalry crowd that was rushing towards them. The crossbow arrows, which were much more powerful than bows and arrows, drilled into the Mongolian cavalry crowd, pierced from the front, immediately penetrated the entire body and penetrated from the back. The Mongolians who were caught in the arrows fell one after another. Many arrows also shot the war horses under the Mongolian crotch. Accompanied by a sad neighing sound of war horses, the Mongolian cavalry in front fell down a large area, along with the sad neighing sound of war horses.
However, there were only thirty steps left, so Gao Shixin ordered the crossbowman to retreat.
With a command, the crossbowman passed through the gap between the spearmen and the spearmen and retreated back to the middle of the formation. The archers continued to shoot light arrows at the Mongols.
The war horses mentioned the state of charge at full speed. The distance of thirty steps was just a matter of breath. The spearmen were nervously holding the spears, and they saw the Great Jin Korqin cavalry in front of them pressing over like a wall. All the surrounding scenery was blocked by their arms and spears. The situation on the entire battlefield was not seen, and the figure of their companions could not be seen. Only the hideous faces of the Korqin cavalry were getting closer and closer.
Who knew that the Mongolian soldiers did not rush forward directly. When they were about to hit the front of the snatch, they heard a whistle. The Korqin light cavalry suddenly separated to their wings, rubbed the sides of the Ming army's spear formation and rushed forward. While running, they used their cavalry bows to shoot out light arrows, one arrow after another. In just a few breaths, each Korqin cavalry shot three or four arrows.
Fortunately, there were sword players in front and spearmen behind him had quite a few armors. The light arrows shot by the Korchin cavalry only acted as harassment at most and did not pose too much threat to the Ming army infantry.
"Boom boom boom" The light Franchise and turtledog guns arranged on both wings burst out deafening roars. White smoke rose from the chariot array on both wings of the infantry phalanx. Pieces of shotgun swept across the Korchin light cavalry crowd running and shooting arrows, and swept more than 200 Mongolian cavalry off their horses in one go.
At the same time, the loaded crossbowmen moved to the wings, hid behind the Fran machine cannon vehicle, and shot a row of arrows towards the flying Korchin Light Cavalry, leaving more than 60 Mongolian Light Cavalry.
The first round of attacks by the Mongols was just a feint attack, which was actually harassing the Ming army's infantry with light arrows. When attacked by infantry bows, crossbows and firearms, the losses of the Korqin light cavalry were indeed much greater than those of the Ming army's infantry, but Mangguertai did not feel sorry for these Mongols at all. Although the Korqin light cavalry lost much greater than that of the Ming army when shooting with the Ming army's infantry, their purpose was to harass the infantry. As long as the infantry formation was in chaos, the Korqin light cavalry would give up the bow and arrow, draw out the scimitar and kill into the Ming army's formation. At that time, the cavalry would slaughter the infantry one-sidedly.
When the Korqin Mongolian cavalry rushed up again, Gao Shixin stood in a car, pulling bows and shooting arrows continuously, and the ability of light arrows to be shot to the extreme, one after another, one after another, he shot out fifty arrows in one breath, and the arrows were killed. Each arrow took away the life of a Mongolian light cavalry.
With the attacks of archers, crossbowmen, Franco gunners and turtledove gunners, the Mongolians harassed and shot archery in this round, and more than 200 bodies were left behind, and the Ming army only suffered more than ten casualties.
"Continue to rush! Shoot the arrows and harass them! When they happen twice, their formation will be in chaos!" Mangortai shouted, "As long as their formation is in chaos, we can kill them like a lamb!"
But what happened next disappointed Manguertai. The Korqin Mongolian light cavalry rushed twice. In addition to leaving corpses on the ground in front of the Ming army's bows, crossbows and firearms, the Ming army's infantry formation remained unmoved.
"Isn't this going to kill us for nothing?"
"The barbarian firearms, bows and crossbows are powerful, and there are spearmen to protect them. We are not rushing in, nor are we shooting against them!"
"These Jianzhou people are just letting us die in vain. Then our brothers' lives consume the barbarian arrows for them!"
"When their Jianzhou heavy infantry arrives, we will almost die!"
"Yes, this barbarian is too tenacious. It's useless for them to ride and shoot and harass them!"
Gao Shixin's Ming army in Liaoyang Xinzhen was indeed as still as a mountain. No matter how the Mongols fired arrows and harassed them, the formation of the Ming army was still, and they only used long-range weapons to shoot against the Mongolian light cavalry. If it were other Ming army, the spearmen would probably be in chaos first, and they would hit the archers and firearms behind, causing the formation to collapse. The Mongolian cavalry archers turned into sabers and light cavalry and rushed over.
The Korqin Mongols who suffered continuous losses began to express their dissatisfaction. People were talking about it, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Later Jin Dynasty. It seemed that if Manguertai gave such a stupid order, these Korqin people might be mutiny.
Muktan said, "Belle, this is not a way to fight. How can I shoot a stair bow than a stair bow? The barbarians have spearmen, and the light cavalry can't rush in. It's better to let some Mongolians get off the horse and fight in the field and forcibly rush into the Mingdog formation! When their formation is in chaos, let the Mongolians behind them get on the horse and rush to kill them."
Manguertai snorted: "Dropping off the horse and stairs? Do you think the Korqin people can fight like our Jianzhou Warriors? They are not Mingdo's opponents! These guys are born with slings, and they are not qualified infantry after getting off the horse! It's better to let a group of Korqin people forcefully ride the horse and rush forward! Anyway, it's better not our Jianzhou Warriors who die!"
"But in this way, the Korqin people will suffer great losses. It's better to wait until the Four Beile comes with heavy infantry. As long as there are heavy infantry, our army will definitely break the formation in one sentence!" Muktan said.
"Wait for my eighth brother?" Mangguertai snorted from his nostrils, "We discovered these Ming dogs, why should we give credit to him? Khan Ama was biased towards his eighth brother, and then gave credit to him. What else would I do in the future?"
Under the suppression of the Jurchen soldiers, the Korqin Mongolian cavalry took the posture of cavalry rushing forward. A group of Mongolian cavalry put away their cavalry bows, unsheathed their swords, and prepared to forcibly attack the Ming army's spear formation; the Mongolian cavalry on both wings were still holding cavalry bows in their hands, preparing to detour from both wings to surround the Ming army, and use bows and arrows to provide long-range fire support to the light cavalry rushing in the middle.
Seeing the actions of the Korqin people, Gao Shi knew very well that the Mongolians were going to rush forward this time!
The light cavalry rushes to the neatly arranged infantry formation, and the one who suffers the loss is the light cavalry. However, the number of the Korqin Mongols is much larger than that of the Ming army. As long as a group of light cavalry is sacrificed to destroy the spear formation, the light cavalry behind will rush in, and the one-sided massacre of the Ming army whose formation has been scattered!
Gao Shixin also knew very well that Jiannu would not feel sorry for the Korqin people, so the Mongolian light cavalry who rushed from the middle were consumed as cannon fodder.
The Mongolian on the opposite side led the horse to two hundred steps away from the Ming army formation, and rode the horse on it. As the speed of the war horse increased, the Mongolians screamed strangely, waved their scimitars and rushed towards the Ming army formation. Under the sunlight, the sharp Mongolian scimitars flashed with dazzling light, which made people almost unable to open their eyes.
