Chapter 515 Going Home and Revenge
The Mongols used huge horns to attack without war drums, and their voices were low, but they could travel dozens of miles. In addition to the guards of the rear team, about 30,000 cavalrymen left their beloved war horses, holding scimitar shields, holding spears of Han people that were not easy to use, carrying ladders, or pushing the simple siege hammer slowly approached the valley.
Because the valley is narrow, the main attacking 30,000 wolf cavalry could only enter like a long dragon. While marching, the wolf cavalry soldiers tapped their breastplate with scimitars. Because the stone wall was built a mile away in the valley, a team of 30,000 people could not completely enter the canyon. At this time, they were hitting the breastplate to boost morale for themselves and see off their comrades in front of them.
The leather armor of the grassland wolf rider is particularly tough, which is not unrelated to their living habits. People in the grassland eat meat with bare hands, and they almost never eat other pasta vegetarian foods except for baked naan. After eating the meat, they apply the oil on their hands on the leather armor. Over time, the greasy and thick layer on the leather armor cannot be blown into.
The leather armor soaked in oil has become extremely resilient, and the feather arrows are less powerful than they can't penetrate. However, the difficulties faced by the wolf cavalry now are not just the siege battles they are not familiar with, but also the weapons in their hands. For infantry battles, the scimitar is much less powerful than the cavalry battles. The arc of the scimitar can cause the maximum damage to the enemy when passing by in cavalry battles. The wounds caused by the scimitar are very long. Even if they are not fatal injuries, they will die due to excessive blood loss. The medical level of this era is not enough for military doctors to easily deal with such injuries.
However, in infantry battles, the scimitar was too short, which was at a disadvantage compared to the Han soldiers holding long spears and spears. Even compared to the Sui infantry standard horizontal sword, it was still much shorter, which was a fatal flaw on the battlefield.
Kuoke Taimeng Lie personally directed the command line. After watching the team enter the canyon, he raised the flag in his hand high, and the huge horns sounded, and the moving team slowly stopped. Because the Mongolian Yuan people had no experience in fighting in the field, they did not habitually form formations like the Great Sui soldiers when they stopped, and they looked a little dispersed.
However, the Mongolian Wolf Cavalry has a very complete system, including ten-person teams, hundred-person teams, thousand-person teams, and ten-person teams, each gathered under the leadership of the leader, so although they were scattered, they were not chaotic.
"Jieliu"
Quaktemmanre ordered: "Train three thousand-man teams, you can play the first team. Don't leave Tae, you can take two thousand-man teams for the second team, Mahan, you can take two thousand-man teams for the third team, be sure to defeat the enemy in one battle, Dahan is still waiting for us to go back, your family is waiting for you to go back, it has been almost three years since you left the grassland, and the kids at home have grown a lot. Do you miss your warm yurt, your fair women, and the days of hunting and horse racing on the grassland, then go!"
He pointed the flag at the other side of the stone wall: "Use your sharp scimitar to cut off the enemy's heads, and the Heaven of Eternal Life will give you infinite power. The light of the Golden Family shines on you, and you will be invulnerable! Let the Han people see who is the real warrior!"
"Huha!"
The Wolf Knight soldiers shouted loudly, and no one noticed that Meng Lie's words were different from the past. This time he did not mention the Ming King or the Daluan Temple in Daxue Mountain.
What the Wolf Knight soldiers were thinking about was to finish the battle soon and answer their hometown, hugging their plump wives and holding their children high above their heads. Who would care about whom Menglie was not mentioned? They were already home.
"Warriors!"
Zhe Liebe pulled out his scimitar and pointed forward: "Run in the direction of the call of the great sweat, let the weak Han people cry and beg under the scimitar! You are all wolves that grow up drinking blood, and the Han people are destined to be sheep wed!"
"Huha!"
"Huha!"
The shouts of charge resounded throughout the canyon, and the sound hovered back and forth across the canyon.
The first team of Thousands began to accelerate and run wildly under the leadership of the commander of the thousand men. The person in front rushed forward like crazy with the ladder. In such a narrow area, they knew that dodging and stagnation would not bring good luck. The only hope of surviving from the enemy's feather arrows would instead rush under the stone wall as soon as possible. The wolf cavalry behind the ladder held the cavalry shield on their chests and tried their best to cover the vital points. However, the cavalry shield was too small, and even the upper body could not be completely covered.
This attack method of running wildly on both legs made every wolf knight soldier feel that he is no longer a giant. When riding on the horse, their speed is faster than the wind. But now, they must make themselves run and run desperately.
When the sound of the horns of the charge sounded, the soldiers of the black flag soldiers on the stone wall placed feather arrows on the bowstrings. Their faces were solemn, and many people were breathing heavily to stabilize themselves. More than ten heavy crossbows installed on the stone wall had tightened their ropes, and they waited for a command to roar out.
Xiahou Baichuan looked back and looked at the general Fang Jie who was standing on the other side of the stone wall, and then took a deep breath. It had been waiting for several months, and this day finally came. This was the first battle he had led his troops to fight after becoming Fang Jie's subordinate. He now knew what kind of person Fang Jie was. He would never exclude and suppress those who had credit and ability. As long as he fought this battle well, he would truly stand firm in the Black Flag Army.
From the fourth rank of the Xiong Weilang General.
It is precisely because he has been working hard in military martial arts for many years that he knows how difficult it is for poor families to reach this level. Basically, the generals above the fifth rank in the army are all from various families of the Sui Dynasty. If they want to stand up, they can only wait for war. But in the war, it is difficult for a poor family to be promoted to this position among 10,000 or 50,000 people. There is no doubt that Xiahou Baichuan is lucky, because the previous Prince Xu and the current General Fang are not the kind of people who drink blood.
He knew that he was now extremely close to the peak of his life. As long as he survived this battle, there would be no problem with a fourth-grade Ying Yanglang general. He was not far from the third-grade general at the peak of the military general. Of course, most people have never crossed from the fourth-grade to the third-grade in their lives, but this is the beginning of hope, isn’t it?
What's more, Fang Jie is a fair and fair leader.
He looked at Fang Jie and felt Fang Jie's trust in him.
"Everyone!"
He pulled out the horizontal knife and pointed it at the wolf rider.
"Take revenge!"
This tiger roar suppressed the charge of the wolf cavalry and floated back and forth in the canyon.
Take revenge! Take revenge! Take revenge!
This sound is like there are many unjust souls shouting together in the air.
...
...
With a buzzing sound, more than a dozen heavy crossbows took the lead and plowed out a few gaps from the wolf cavalry's array beyond more than 200 steps. The heavy crossbow's straight line passed by could not leave a living place. In this dense formation, the Mengyuan wolf cavalry had no possibility of dodging besides running forward with his head down.
After the heavy crossbow was exerted, the wolf cavalry entered within 150 steps of the archers on the stone wall began to harvest their lives. The feather arrows were shot out one after another, without any need to aim. The narrow space was inevitably exchanged for the dense force of the attacking side. For the defensive side, this initial period was the most favorable opportunity to strike the enemy.
The feather arrows that fell like raindrops kept rolling the wolf cavalry over. Even if there were timid people, there was no chance of running back. The wolf cavalry behind desperately pushed forward, and the dead people in front were replaced layer by layer behind. The hundred-man team running in the front were lucky enough to survive the three-wheeled feather arrows and not dead.
The two hundred-man teams died within fifty steps from the stone wall. The people behind were pushed by the people behind and could not stop. The wolf knight soldiers rushed forward like waves while swelling. The archers on the stone wall were divided into two rows. When the first row shot out the feather arrows and then took the arrows, the second row of archers neatly sent the feather arrows out. Then they took the arrows, and the first row had already shot out again.
The movements were repeated mechanically, neatly and orderly.
Xiahou Baichuan walked back and forth behind the archers, from one end to the other, and kept shouting loudly. At this time, the man with a hoarse voice seemed particularly charming. The male character on the battlefield was fully revealed, which was originally a contest between men.
Half an hour later, the wolf cavalry finally carried the ladder under the stone wall. The soldiers were not skilled in erecting the ladder, but they were delayed a lot of time because of their poor cooperation. Every second on the battlefield was bloody, and the time wasted was enough to make more people die.
The archers on the stone wall began to divide the work. The first row of archers leaned over and shot under the wall. The second row continued to attack the wolf cavalry that had not yet reached the nearest place. At this moment, when he saw soldiers rushing to the city wall, Zhelibe issued a loud order. The archers of the wolf cavalry began to suppress the siege soldiers. Every wolf cavalry is an excellent archer, which is the ability created by the living environment.
An archer from a thousand-person team began to fight back, and the feather arrows flew into the sky and then fell on the stone wall. The Black Flag Army soldiers guarding the city immediately fell down to a layer, and the hundreds of archers in the front row almost lost more than 80%. When the soldiers fell down, the people behind immediately filled up. The feather arrows were so dense that they collided in mid-air, and the white feathers landed on the ground seemed to be covered with weeds.
"Pin tap!"
Xiahou Baichuan ordered loudly: "Put the nail to pat!"
Five feet long and three feet wide, put down the slap with wolf tooth nails nailed on it, and slapped the wolf cavalry under the base of the wall to death. Then the Black Flag Army soldiers slapped the wolf cavalry and pulled it up again, and then put it down. The wolf cavalry's helmet, which was more than one foot long, easily pierced the wolf cavalry's helmet, and then pierced the head. When the nail was pulled up, there was even a corpse of the wolf cavalry hanging on it.
"Cut off the rope!"
Zhe Liebi roared behind, but his voice did not clearly reach the ears of the wolf cavalry in the front. The wolf cavalry who was not familiar with the siege battle was frightened by the power of the nail slap. No one could react at the first time to cut off the ropes of the nail slap. So when I put the nail on the first time, I didn't destroy one.
When the corpse was piled up under the wall, the first ladder finally lay on the stone wall. The moment the simple ladder leaned against the wall, the wolf cavalry actually burst into cheers, as if they had seen hope for victory. Unfortunately, the Han soldiers who were so familiar with the defense city that they could not be familiar with were not nervous at all. They pushed the ladder up and pushed it out with the hook, and the ladder smashed down fiercely with the soldiers hanging on it.
The ladder falling from the sky smashed the dense formation behind the scenes out of the space, and the soldiers under the ladder immediately started to wail.
From the beginning, the war did not test directly into a fierce battle. The wolf cavalry were eager to return home, but the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were eager to take revenge. Such a battle was destined to be extremely bloody. No one took a step back under the blow of feather arrows, and attached his hatred to feather arrows to vent.
Xiahou Baichuan couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the tragic battle more than three years ago. The Han soldiers who had lost their command began to collapse, but dozens of them and hundreds of them formed small counterattack arrays, and few surrendered.
The blood of that battle covered the entire Mandu flag grassland. The blood of this battle today was destined to fill the entire canyon.
