Chapter 286: Snow Field Pursuit
"Save the wolves! If we don't make a move, they won't be able to kill a few Tartars! Xiao Gongchen pointed to the wolves who were fighting fiercely with the Mongols and said, "Let's help them!" ”
"Let's go and kill the Tartars! Bring them here! Cai Zhichao volunteered to stand up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Yuchen, Zhao Shiliang, Valentin, Unaji, Emohe, Harbal and others stood up and said that they wanted to attract the enemy, and several gunners also stood up.
Xiao Gongchen nodded and said, "Okay!" A few of you go over, shoot a few shots from a distance, fight a round and leave, remember, don't fall in love! Bring the Tartars here! Let's take advantage of our speed and use the Tartars' mangu tactics to slowly consume these Tartars! ”
"No!" Cai Zhichao and others clasped their fists and saluted.
Xiao Gongchen turned to Cao Lei again and said, "You bring a hundred sleigh carts and attack the tribe where the central banner of the left wing of Horqin is located!" The main forces of the Tartars are here, and you harass them from afar! ”
"No!" Cao Lei stepped back.
A hundred sleds were dispatched to attack the Zasak Division of the Left Wing of Korqin, among which were twenty rifled gunners, twenty cannons, and the remaining sixty were Rakshasa musketeers. One hundred sleds set out on the journey, went to the middle banner of the left wing of Horqin, and went straight to the old nest of Prince Darhan.
More than a dozen sleds of Cai Zhichao and others rushed to the Mongolian cavalry. The sky had cleared, and the bright sunlight shone on the white snow, giving a dazzling glow.
Prince Darhan and his Mongol cavalry were shooting at the wolves that were constantly pounced, and the Mongol cavalry on the perimeter suddenly noticed a group of men and horses on the snow a mile behind them.
"Great Khan, behind us! There's a team of people behind us! A Mongolian soldier rode to the side of Heta, turned over and dismounted, and reported to him.
He Ta turned his head and saw a small number of people and horses on the snow in the distance, but the opponent was very strange, they did not come on horseback, but in a car! The distance is relatively far, and the tower didn't see clearly what kind of car it was, and thought it was an ordinary car.
"Catching a car in the snow? Who the hell is that? He Ta wondered in his heart. How fast can you drive in the snow? You can't run at all, can you? Won't the wheels get into it?
Before the tower could come to his senses, the twelve sleds had stopped moving.
"Turn the front of the car and aim the rear at the tartar!" Cai Zhichao shouted.
At this time, they were still about 150 paces away from the Mongols, and more than a dozen sleigh carts turned around, and the rear of the cars was aimed at the Mongols. The ten rifled guns and two sub-guns on the car were aimed at the Mongols, and with a command, the rifled guns erupted fire, and the white smoke rose up, and a row of high-speed rotating bullets pierced into the crowd of Mongols.
Only a scream was heard, and the six Mongol cavalrymen spewed dazzling blood and fell from their horses.
Before the Mongols could come to their senses, there were two more roars, two clouds of white smoke erupted from the sled team, and two black cannonballs flew over and smashed into the crowd of Mongols.
One of the Mongol cavalrymen was smashed by a cannonball, and the whole horse flew up, and the knight on horseback immediately shattered and turned into a canopy of blood mist. The cannonball then crushed the second Mongol cavalryman, and then the cannonball fell in the snow, because the snow was soft, and the cannonball that had hit two horses in succession lost its energy, and after smashing into the snow, it only flicked lightly and stopped moving.
Another shell landed in the snow and bounced off with snowflakes, knocking over one of the Mongols. However, when the cannonball landed on the soft snow, it had no bouncing power, and after knocking over a Mongol, the cannonball sank into the snow.
"Is it a Rakshasa or a barbarian? How can a firebolt hit so far? The Mongols were stunned.
The waist knife in the hand of the tower pointed to the sled soldiers: "Sons! The Rakshasas are all knocking on the door! We steppe men can't be timid! Follow this king! Kill the Rakshasas! ”
One of the Goshkha asked, "Great Khan, the Rakshasas have come so much, are they in ambush?" Should we be cautious? ”
He Ta Leng snorted: "There are not many Rakshasa people!" What if they have an ambush? We are 5,000 children, and we are still afraid of such a little Rakshasa? ”
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Nagoshha had no choice but to bow his head.
And the tower pointed to the sleigh: "Sons! Kill! Kill all the Rakshasas! ”
"Kill the Rakshasas!" Five thousand Mongol cavalry mobilized, waved their whips, and rode their horses in the direction of the sledders.
The distance was so far that the Mongols could not tell whether the people who came were Russians or Han Chinese, but they believed that it would definitely not be Han Chinese who would come to their place, but a group of Han Chinese or other tribes who had been taken captive by the Rakshasas. The Mongols who had fled the previous night told Heta that some of the attackers were speaking the language of Han barbarians, some of them spoke Mongolian, and some of them spoke Rakshasa which they did not understand at all.
According to what the person who reported the news said, and the tower also judged that the people who came to attack their tribe must be Rakshasas, or at least the leader must be Rakshasas. Among them, the Mongols and Han people were definitely captured by the Rakshasas, otherwise it would be up to the Han and other tribes of Mongols to borrow 10,000 guts from them, and they would not have the courage to attack the Horqin tribe!
"Damn Rakshasas! In the past few years, the Rakshasa people have become more and more ferocious, and they were still in the Ningguta area, but now the Rakshasa people have actually come to our Horqin to spread wild! He Ta said scoldingly.
Heta knew that his cousin Biltahar tribe would soon arrive, and the entire Korqin grassland already knew about the Rakshasa people's attack on the Korqin tribe, although the prince of Zhuoliktu, Biltahar, had already gone to the capital, but there were still 2,000 grassland heroes in his tribe, plus his own 5,000 men and horses, a total of 7,000 Mongolian cavalry, it would not be a problem to destroy these hateful Rakshasa people at all.
He Ta believes that if so many tribes can be destroyed, there must be about 3,000 Rakshasas. So many Rakshasa people invaded, this matter is not trivial, he has already sent people to the capital to report, and the elimination of the Rakshasa people is also a great credit.
Seeing the Mongolian cavalry rushing over, Cai Zhichao and they definitely won't fight.
"Let's go!" Cai Zhichao shouted.
The Ming soldier in charge of driving the car waved his horsewhip, and the Don River pulled the sleigh and began to accelerate on the snow. It wasn't fast at first, but it quickly picked up. Originally, the Mongol soldiers had already chased within one hundred and twenty paces, but after the speed of the sled increased, it was pulled to about one hundred and thirty paces.
The Ming army driving the carriage drove the war horses, and the Ming soldiers sitting in the back leaned against the carriage board, facing the back, nervously loading gunpowder and bullets.
There were relatively fast Mongol cavalry chasing within one hundred and twenty paces, and those Mongols who rode good horses were also very good at archery, riding on bumpy horses, stretching their bows and arrows, and shooting several feathered arrows.
"Whoosh" arrows were fired, and the Ming soldiers sitting behind the sleigh picked up their shields to block the arrows. Only a few arrows were tied to the shield, and most of the feathered arrows were shot in the snow.
In fact, even if you are shot, it is not much of a problem, you can shoot an arrow on horseback, shoot a hundred and twenty paces away, and chase the opponent to shoot an arrow, and the arrow will not have much strength when it flies. The most powerful mangu tactic of the Mongols is to turn around and shoot arrows, and the opponent pursues them on horseback, and they crash into the feather arrows themselves, so that the attack power is high. If you shoot an arrow in pursuit, the power of the feather arrow is much reduced.
"Boom" The two sub-cannons spit out fire, and the shotgun rained down on the Mongolian cavalry one hundred and twenty paces away. Originally, the shotgun hit so far that it was not very powerful, and the accuracy was also very poor, but the Ming army was firing from behind, the Mongols were pursuing, and the war horses were hitting the muzzle of the gun by themselves, which was virtually equivalent to shortening the distance.
Shotguns burrowed into the crowd, and at least seven Mongol soldiers were shot and dropped from their horses.
The Ming soldiers on the sleigh had already finished loading, the rifled guns roared again, and a row of gunfire sounded, and the four Mongol cavalrymen spewed blood mist and fell from their horses.
Because the gun is fired in high-speed movement, the rifled gun accuracy is not too high.
Losing troops in a row, Heta stared at blood-red eyes and shouted, "Damn Rakshasas! Catch up! Kill them all! Not a single one to stay! ”
The Horqin Mongols continued to chase the sled, while the Ming army running in front slowed down slightly, allowing the Mongols to close the distance a little and give them a glimmer of hope.
"Not good! There seems to be an ambush ahead! "One of the Mongols suddenly noticed that a row of sleds appeared in front of them, and the back of the sleds was facing them, and the muzzles and muzzles of black holes protruded from them.
"Boom Boom" The sub-cannons arranged on both flanks roared, and the shells formed crossfire and penetrated into the Mongol formation. Dozens of sub-cannons fired at the same time, and the shotguns formed two intertwined fans, and after a round of shells, dozens of Mongolian cavalrymen were immediately beaten into a sieve and fell off their horses.
"Bang bang bang" rifled guns and rakshasa muskets roared, white smoke rose up, and in this round of shooting, dozens of Mongolian cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.
The rounds of fire from the sub-cannon and musket caused more than 100 casualties among the Mongol soldiers in just one round. However, the casualties of more than 100 people were only a drop in the bucket for 5,000 Mongolian cavalry.
The Horqin Mongol soldiers who died in battle aroused the anger of revenge against Heta.
"Kill!" The Mongols, with their bows in their hands, galloped their horses, and their horses raised snowflakes in the snow and chased after the sledders. Because the snow was two feet deep, the speed of the cavalry was actually greatly affected, and it looked spectacular, but the speed was not too fast.
The Ming army sleigh has begun to move, the Don hippo spreads its hooves and runs on the snow, the sleigh begins to move, and the snowflakes flying behind it are raised.
On the thousands of miles of ice field, there was a picture of two teams of people chasing after me. It looks like the Ming army is retreating, and the Mongols are pursuing, but if you look closely, it is obvious that the Ming army has adopted Mangu tactics against the Mongols! The pursued Ming sledders were almost unscathed, but the pursuing Mongols fell one after another.
"Great Khan! You can't fight like this! We can't catch up with the Rakshasas, the Rakshasa people's firecrackers are too powerful! A goshha shouted out of breath and caught up with him. (To be continued.) )
