299 brutal hand-to-hand combat
(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!) )
Zabek, though a murderous man, was not a reckless man.
At this time, standing behind and watching the battle, he saw that the White Dragon Army could make three salvos of bird's hand in a very short time, and directly beat the charging Tartar soldiers to heavy casualties.
At this time, he knew that this time they had encountered hard stubble.
With Alenha's men and horses alone, plus a servant army of 300 people, I am afraid that they will not be able to break through this group of Ming army chariot formation.
"Quick, order Alenha to retreat!"
"My lord, I can't retreat anymore, and now Lord Alenha has been entangled with the Ming army, and I can't retreat."
A Tartar officer next to him smiled wryly and said to Zabek.
On the battlefield, after the battle starts, it is not said that you can fight if you want to, and you can retreat if you want to.
When the two sides really fight together, one side can't retreat even if they want to, and once they retreat, they will never recover.
At this time, Zabek looked over and found that the men and horses led by Alenha were under the fire of the White Dragon Army's birds, which had paid a heavy price for casualties, but they still rushed forward.
In the three rounds of salvo fire of the White Dragon Army Bird Gunner just now, in fact, the Tartars who charged were not equal, and only lost more than a hundred soldiers.
However, there were still nearly 200 soldiers who rushed into the distance of 30 steps in front of the Ming army's car formation, and as long as they worked harder, they could rush into the Ming army's car formation.
At this time, the generals who had a little common sense of war knew that at this time, they could no longer retreat.
Once you retreat at this time, it is equivalent to giving up your back to the White Dragon Army, and letting the White Dragon Army's bird gunners treat them as live targets and practice marksmanship!
So at this time, instead of coming down and retreating, Alenha shouted from behind, ordering the Tartars to charge.
And the Tartar army was indeed fierce and belligerent, although the charging Tartar infantry army lost more than a hundred people, but there were still nearly two hundred Tartar soldiers, rushing to a distance of thirty paces from the White Dragon Army's chariot formation.
Although the Tartars who were shot and fell to the ground, screaming and wailing, caused a great psychological burden to the Tartars who continued to charge, no Tartar soldiers dared to disobey the order, retreat or stop without authorization.
And the dozens of archers who followed behind had already drawn their longbows and shot their arrows.
Dozens of arrows quickly fell behind the White Dragon Army's chariot formation, causing casualties to the White Dragon Army's bird guns.
I have to say that the bows and arrows of the Tartar soldiers were shot very trickily, and in this rain of arrows, more than a dozen bird gunners were shot and fell to the ground.
Moreover, the quasi-head of these Tartar archers is even more terrifying, and the position of the arrows in the hands of the White Dragon Army Bird Gun is either the face or the neck, all of which are the most lethal parts.
Moreover, the Tartars were also soaked in horse manure on their arrowheads, and the wounds of the enemy soldiers were easily infected after they were hit by their arrows.
In this era when antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are not available, once an infected wound develops, the wounded person often means death.
The bows and arrows of the Tartar soldiers were still as vicious and accurate as rumored, and they were full of strength, and they all greeted the enemy's face and eyes.
Although at this time, everyone of the White Dragon Army's bird guns was also wearing armor, but the first wave of arrow rain of the Tartar soldiers still caused casualties among more than a dozen White Dragon Army bird guns.
Shouted loudly, "First row of birdsmiths, on, shoot!" ”
Then the deafening sound of fire rang out, and the ears of the birds and hands rang incessantly.
When the birds shoot, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke emitted also makes them sneeze.
Fortunately, the new type of bird guns equipped by the White Dragon Army are well-made, and there will be no danger of exploding, so that the White Dragon Army bird guns can shoot with peace of mind.
The Tartar archers who had just finished shooting the first round of arrows had not had time to shoot the second round, and the white dragon army bird on the opposite side spewed out fire.
The Tartars, who had just put their arrows on their bows, fell to the ground one by one screaming, and only a few of the dozens of archers shot a second wave of bows and arrows.
The rest of the Tartar archers, many of them were shot, and the light armor they were wearing was easily torn by the projectile, and they covered their chests one by one, and fell without saying a word.
Even worse, it was the Tartar soldiers who rushed to the forefront, even if they had a wooden shield covered with iron in their hands, waving the heavy shield in their hands, and rushing forward desperately.
After flying over, the hot lead bullets flew over, within thirty paces, whether the Tartar soldiers were wearing two or three layers of heavy armor.
Even the wooden shield with iron cover could not stop the attack of the lead bullets fired by the new bird guns.
After the buckshot hits the human body, it directly penetrates the layers of heavy armor and shoots into the flesh and blood of the enemy.
At this time, the lead bullets that were shot into the enemy's body had long since lost their shape, and all kinds of strange buckshot bullets were rolling in the enemy's body.
These Tartar soldiers who were shot, under their heavy armor, all had a large hole the size of half a fist in their bodies, and such a wound would be fatal to anyone.
At this time, the Tartars rushed over, and the distance between the two sides was already very close.
This makes it possible for the White Dragon Army's bird gunners to almost not have to aim, and they may hit someone by pulling the trigger in front casually.
In this round of shooting by the White Dragon Army Bird Gunner, more than a hundred Tartar soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and falling down meant death.
At this time, Liu Chong saw that there were less than a hundred Tartar soldiers left, but they had already rushed to their thorn car formation.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties among the Birdmen, Liu Zhong issued a new order, ordering the Birdmen to stand back and let the pikemen go up.
As Liu Chong's order was given, the front row of gunners immediately retreated behind the pikemen, and at this time, they became pikemen standing in the front row.
On this short eighty-step road, the Tartar soldiers fell more than 200 people in just two or three minutes of charge, and finally only a few dozen people rushed in front of the thorny chariot of the White Dragon Army.
The Tartar soldiers who rushed to the front of the chariot originally wanted to push the thorny chariot away so that the cavalry behind could rush in.
But what they didn't expect was that the White Dragon Army actually connected these thorny chariots with iron chains to each other.
Now those Tartar soldiers don't dare to untie the chains with swagger, they know very well that if they dare to stay where they are for a few more moments, they will become a live target in the next second.
At this time, Alenha also led two hundred Tatar cavalry to cut in from the two wings of the White Dragon Army's chariot formation, and Liu Chong immediately ordered the bird gunners to change the formation to deal with the White Dragon Army cavalry, which was the most threatening on the two wings of Qi.
On the frontal battlefield, Zhou Dazhu had already commanded the pikemen, and they killed the Tartar soldiers who rushed into the car formation.
At this time, there were less than a hundred Tartar soldiers who rushed to the front of the White Dragon Army, and according to Liu Chong's idea, they were to eat these Tartar soldiers quickly.
didn't give the Tartar army behind him a chance to rush up, so Zhou Dazhu took the initiative to lead people to rush up.
Zhou Dazhu, who was holding a spear, shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!" ”
Zhou Dazhu rushed out first, the flag bearer beside him waved the flag, and two guards also followed him closely.
The first row, with two hundred pikemen, rushed forward with Zhou Dazhu, and the two sides quickly collided together.
"Kill!"
Soldiers from both sides collided and slaughtered together.
At the beginning of the battle, it was extremely cruel, and the screams of soldiers on both sides sounded on the battlefield from time to time.
After Zhou Dazhu led people to rush up, he happened to face a Tartar infantry soldier, and as soon as the two sides met, the ferocity and courage of this horse armor soldier surprised Zhou Dazhu.
In the past two years, the White Dragon Army has been looting around Yongcheng, and he has already come to him countless times in hand-to-hand combat, but it is the first time he has encountered such a fierce enemy as this Tartar infantry soldier.
The Tartar warrior in his waistcoat, armed with a short-handled axe and a heavy shield, was undaunted by the siege of three White Dragon soldiers.
Dancing a heavy shield so vigorously that it was almost impossible to get in, Zhou Dazhu led two soldiers of the White Dragon Army, and the three spears couldn't get close to him.
This made Zhou Dazhu, who was fighting hand-to-hand with the Tartar soldiers for the first time, very surprised.
After half a year of hard training, Zhou Dazhu's marksmanship has improved greatly, and the other two White Dragon Army soldiers have also undergone strict training, and their marksmanship is simple, direct, and deadly.
Now the three of them were blocked by a Tartar infantry soldier with one enemy and three enemies, and at this time Zhou Dazhu had to admit that the Tartar soldiers were indeed very elite.
"him."
Zhou Dazhu didn't want to continue this stalemate, so he shouted at the two White Dragon Army soldiers next to him, and then rushed forward first.
After listening to Zhou Dazhu's shout, the three of them stabbed at the Tartar infantry soldier from three different directions at the same time.
Soon, a loud "clang" was heard, and the iron spears stabbed by the three of them were all blocked by this Tartar infantry soldier with a wide heavy shield.
This experienced Tartar infantry soldier stepped forward first, and the short axe in his hand slammed into the shoulder and chest of the white dragon soldier.
The heavy sharp axe split the entire shoulder of the white dragon sergeant in two.
The moment he was slashed by the heavy blade, the white dragon sergeant immediately let out a heart-rending scream.
The white dragon sergeant let go of his spear and fell to the ground covering his wounds and wailing, losing his combat effectiveness in an instant, but he did not die immediately.
The Tartar infantry soldier had a smug look on his face, obviously he was very confident in his skills.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that he had more than one opponent, and that when his axe slashed at the White Dragon soldier's body, his defenses were exposed.
One of the most burly white dragon sergeants let out a violent roar, and an iron spear stabbed hard along the flaw he leaked.
Fast as lightning, fierce as a dragon, the spear pierced like a poisonous snake, with lightning speed.
The head of the spear made of stainless steel, with a deep blood groove on it, was easily broken, and the two layers of heavy armor worn by the Tartar infantry soldier pierced deeply into his body.
The pain was so intense that the Tartar infantry soldier's whole body twitched, and he felt life flow rapidly from his body.
He roared loudly, mustered the last of his strength, raised his short-handled axe, and slashed at the white dragon sergeant in front of him.
At this moment, in the heart of this Tartar soldier, there is only one thought, that is, to pull a cushion on his back when he is dying.
But his wish was disappointed, and there was another shout from the side, and another spear stabbed at him.
The tip of a sharp spear stabbed him directly in the throat this time, and the momentum of this shot was extremely fierce, directly stabbing him to the ground.
At this time, similar battles were taking place in other directions.
The Tartar soldiers, with their superb personal skills, rich combat experience and fierce spirit, are fighting with the white dragon soldiers, while the white dragon soldiers rely on skillful cooperation to fight with the Tartars.
At this time, it was only Zhou Dazhu who rushed up with the first row of two hundred pikemen who fought with the Tartar soldiers.
After a short battle, more than twenty of the nearly 100 Tartar soldiers who rushed into the car formation immediately fell, but the White Dragon Army's side almost paid the same casualties.
Seeing such a scene, Li Zixiao's face couldn't help but twitch fiercely, the fierce field combat ability of the Tatar soldiers is indeed powerful.
Liu Chong, who was commanding the battle in front, also quickly realized this and gave a new order.
After receiving Liu Chong's new order, the herald immediately shouted to the front: "The first platoon of pikemen retreats, and the second platoon goes up!" ”
With this order given, the pikemen, who were originally inseparable from the Tartar soldiers, covered each other very tacitly and retreated.
Without waiting for the Tartars to pursue, the second platoon of pikemen met them, and the two sides began to fight fiercely.
At this time, if the White Dragon Army wants to eliminate these Tartar soldiers as soon as possible, it is not suitable to use the spear formation, so it can only take the initiative to attack and besiege these Tartar soldiers who rushed into the formation.
One of the infantry soldiers of the Tartar soldiers, when he saw another row of pikemen of the White Dragon Army coming in front of him, he roared wildly, brandished his heavy shield and the long knife in his hand, and rushed forward with his shield.
He lifted his shield tightly over his shoulder, ducked behind it, and slammed into several stabbing spears.
With the shield block, the spears couldn't hurt him at all, and the long knife in his hand, with a skillful blow, slashed at the neck of a pikeman.
The pikeman's neck was immediately cut open with a bloody hole, and blood gushed out like a fountain, and the pikeman's mouth spat out Bobo's blood in severe pain.
The white dragon soldier grabbed the Tartar soldier's long knife like a madman.
I didn't care that the sharp blade would cut off his hands, and blood kept gushing out of his hands, and I didn't care about it, so that the Tartar soldier couldn't pull back the long knife for the time being.
The Tartar soldier was also stunned, and then stretched out his foot and kicked the white dragon sergeant on the body, kicking the dying white dragon sergeant to the ground.
But in such an instant, several pikemen next to him seized the opportunity, and three or four spears took advantage of the free time for the Tartar soldier to kick people, and stabbed him in the lower abdomen.
The sharp tip of the spear, after stabbing into the Tartar's body like lightning, was quickly withdrawn with lightning speed.
With the withdrawal of the spear, the blood groove opened on the head of the spear directly brought out the intestines in the lower abdomen of the Tartar infantry soldier.
