Unexpected crash

"Whoosh ......"

With the sound of a bowstring trembling, arrows drew arcs in the sky and flew towards the city.

The Mongols have been using bows and arrows for more than 500 years, and the most important feature of this composite recurve bow made of wood, horn and tendon is that it has a particularly long range, and the best archers can shoot arrows with special longbows that can reach a distance of more than 300 meters.

While this distance is almost indistinguishable from tickling for an armoured soldier, an arrow can be fatal for an unarmored soldier.

"Aggressive ......"

Arrows hit the battlements with a dull sound, interspersed with wails of pain, the screams of the unfortunate ones who had been struck by the arrows.

"The siege is over...... The Ming people attacked the city...... "Seeing that the Mongol cavalry finally attacked, and as soon as it came up, there was a dense rain of arrows, Karui for a while

A little confused, he had never experienced a battle before, he had seen such a scene there.

Although he has killed countless compatriots today because of his orders, the experience of killing and being killed is completely different, seeing the dense arrows flying towards him, listening to the screams of people around him from time to time, he only felt cold hands and feet, and his face became extremely pale.

"Archery...... Shoot arrows! ”

I heard the screams of the officers, and in the roar, arrows were also shot towards the city, and for a time the two sides were shooting back and forth very lively.

And at this time, it showed that the Mongolian cavalry was powerful, don't look at the performance of the Mongolian cavalry in the past when fighting with the Jiangning army, the performance of the Mongolian cavalry was not very good, and almost every time they were beaten to heavy losses, but to be honest, this really can't blame the Mongolian soldiers.

It's really that the cold weapon army is really at a loss when it comes to the hot weapon army, and after working hard for more than ten or twenty years, and then putting on three layers of heavy armor, after being hit by a lead bullet, it still has to rest.

Not to mention the Mongols who have been lonely for more than two hundred years, even the Manchus, who were supposed to unify the Central Plains in another historical time and space, have now been killed by the Jiangning army, let alone them.

However, after taking refuge in Yang Feng, the army under Wu Keshan regained its vitality. Dressed in light and sturdy armor, armed with a modern society's machine-made scimitar, and equipped with a compound recurve bow, the Luzon army on the city walls that was only equipped to suppress the common people was not enough.

A group of cavalry galloped under the city wall, and arrows continued to shoot on the city wall, suppressing the soldiers of Luzon who did not dare to show their heads at all, and this set of tactics was also the usual cavalry tactics of the Mongolian cavalry in the past.

"Duh...... Aggressive ......"

Two arrows flew past Castro's ears and struck the wall behind him, startling him and several officers who were watching the battle.

Castro, who had been hovering between life and death, had a very ugly face, and he didn't expect the other party's arrows to shoot so accurately, even he was almost hit.

Mitchell stooped over and pulled out an arrow pinned to the wall, and handed it to Castro.

Castro took the arrow and observed, and the officers around him surrounded him.

It is a wooden arrow with a small and sharp arrow, which is suitable for long-range shooting.

Castro looked at it for a few moments and then said to the officers around him, "Guys, I think it's time to leave, it's no longer safe here." If we don't want to be a prisoner of the Ming people, I think we should get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Mitchell nodded: "Mr. Colonel, I think you are right, judging from the performance of both sides, that idiot is not an opponent of the Ming people at all, and the fall of Apari is only a matter of time." ”

Castro nodded: "Okay, since there is no objection, let's get out of here now." ”

"Understood!"

There was no nonsense, after all, this was a matter that had been decided yesterday, and several Spanish officers took advantage of the chaos in the city to sneak down the city walls and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Although Castro and the others slipped away, the attack of the Mongol cavalry did not stop, and under the cover of a burst of arrows, the Mongol soldiers carrying the ladder rushed to the city wall almost unscathed.

A series of ladders were pushed up the city wall, and then a Mongolian soldier who had already sharpened his sword began to climb the city wall.

"Quick...... Shoot the arrows, you fools...... The Ming army is coming up! Come on and get all these ladders down for me! ”

Karui on the city wall saw that the ladders had been erected, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

As a person who cherishes his life, he has definitely not forgotten what the Ming man said yesterday, the consequence of refusing to surrender is that the whole city will be slaughtered, including him, of course.

But it is a pity that the soldiers of Luzon, who have never experienced a battle formation, are like babies meeting strong men in front of these Mongolian soldiers who are used to fighting, and what is even worse is that the walls of Apari are too low, less than two zhang (three meters) high, which is a matter of a few steps for the besieging side.

Although the Luzon soldiers on the city wall also knew what the consequences would be for these Ming soldiers to rush up, and they did try to stop them, many Luzon soldiers also rushed to the battlements and prepared to use various weapons to knock down the soldiers who climbed up, but these people forgot about the other group of people who were staring at them under the city wall.

Three meters is so easy for a skilled Mongol soldier that they will never shoot you in the right eye.

Under a flurry of arrows, the "brave" Luzon soldiers were shot one by one, and in the end, no one dared to show their heads.

When the first Mongol soldier with a scimitar and a shield leaped up to the top of the city, he was amazed by what he saw. Less than three meters away from him stood two Luzon soldiers armed with spears, looking at him with horror in their faces.

"Kill!"

Without any nonsense, the Mongol soldier unthinkingly raised his scimitar and rushed forward.

However, something even more incredible happened to him, the two Luzon soldiers in front of him saw him coming, not only did not resist, but let out a scream at the same time, and invariably turned backwards, and slipped away with oil on the soles of their feet.

Mongol soldier: "............"

What the hell is going on?

Looking at the Luzon soldiers who were running fast, the Mongolian soldier was completely stunned.

In fact, it was not only he who was confused, but many Mongolian soldiers who successively climbed the city also encountered the same situation.

Yes, the defenders on the walls collapsed, and they who did not dare to resist threw down their weapons and became deserters. This situation is the same as the end of the Ming Dynasty in another historical time and space, when Li Zicheng's army attacked the capital, the Ming soldiers defending the city immediately became deserters, and Li Zicheng almost easily captured the entire capital.
