【Chapter 421】The number of the white-clothed army is also tens of thousands!
(0421) [Make up for yesterday's ......]
"Damn, Xu Xingxia is here!" Tai Chiwu subconsciously cursed. 【】
Tai Chiwu is definitely not a stupid person, and when he found such a sharp archery, he knew that Xu Xingxia was coming. In the steppe, if you want to say that in the past, the most powerful archery must be the Tatar arrow god Mo Yuegen. But now, the most taboo for everyone is this Xu Xingxia. Because, there are too many people who died under this Xu Xingxia's arrow.
Since the rise of Xu Xingxia, whether it is the Tatars or the Mongols, they are quite afraid of Xu Xingxia's archery. Especially after the extinction of the Helkin tribe of the Tatars, ordinary people did not dare to provoke Xu Xingxia at all. There's no way, that's a character who even Mo Yuegen has to suffer! If you make an enmity with him, if you are not careful, and you are conspired by the arrow, it will be over. This time, it was a big man like Lin Danhan who dared to get along with Xu Xingxia. If it was Tai Chiwu, he would most likely avoid Xu Xingxia's edge.
Bows and muskets are completely different. Generally speaking, the hit rate of the musket is relatively low, and it is difficult to hit beyond the distance of 20 zhang. Of course, this is in the case of smoothbore guns. In fact, the original rifled gun may not be very accurate. Beyond the distance of 30 zhang, there is no guarantee of a 100% hit. Moreover, when the musket is fired, it makes a loud noise and emits white smoke. All of this will expose the presence of musketeers. Even if the musketeers succeed in their plot, there is basically no possible surname that he can escape.
Few people would take such a stupid suicidal sneak attack, unless it was deadly. Therefore, unless you have made up your mind to die, it is simply impossible to sneak up with musketeers. I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to sneak up on each other with musketeers. Since the invention of the musket, more often than not, it has been the method of intensive shooting. Sporadic shooting is basically non-existent, unless it is to harass the opponent and exhaust the opponent.
However, bows and arrows are different. When the bow and arrow are shot, they are almost silent. By the time you hear the sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air, it's likely to be too late to react. Of course, the speed at which the arrow flies cannot be faster than the speed of sound. However, people's reactions are still relatively slow. A clever archer can easily hit the target at a distance of twenty zhang. Like a pervert like Xu Xingxia, thirty feet away, he can accurately shoot his target. Can this not be taboo? No one wants to die on the battlefield without knowing it.
In fact, there has been no clear statement on whether Mo Yuegen was shot or not. This is simply a headless public case. Xu Xingxia has never responded positively. Mo Yuegen also seemed to have disappeared and never appeared. To be honest, Xu Xingxia himself didn't know whether he shot Mo Yuegen at that time. His feeling at the time was that the arrow had indeed hit the target. However, this may also be a delusion! Maybe it was the war horse that shot Mo Yuegen?
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, three more black feather arrows were fired.
Along with this, three more Mongol cavalrymen fell to the ground one after another.
Xu Xingxia's serial arrows were so fast and ruthless that others couldn't see his shot clearly.
The Mongolian cavalry who tried to go up to capture Gao Jie fell in a blink of an eye, and the other Mongolian cavalry had to stop their horses. If they don't stop the horses, what awaits them will be black arrows. What Xu Xingxia shot was not an arrow, but a black lightning. This hand really frightened some of the crazy Mongolian cavalry. Because, the craziest people were all shot down by the arrows.
For the reaction of his subordinates, Tai Chiwu did not scold in the slightest. Because, he himself was the first to stop the war horse. Threatened by the "black lightning", it is understandable for anyone to strangle the horses. No matter how great Tai Chiwu's ability is, do you have Mo Yuegen's ability? Therefore, there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. On the contrary, if he rushes up to death rashly, it is a real stupid act, and it is estimated that Lin Dan Khan does not want to see it.
From afar, Tai Chiwu saw Xu Xingxia. In fact, Xu Xingxia's body is indeed not very prominent, even compared with his Tai Chiwu, it is too far away. He Tai Chiwu is at least half a head taller than Xu Xingxia. In the words of the Mongols, he is a standard little white face. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have been able to believe that in Xu Xingxia's little white face body, there was such a terrifying power. Black lightning can actually shoot a target fifty or sixty feet away, what kind of pervert is this?
If there is anything on Xu Xingxia's body that is the most attractive, it is probably the big bow in his hand. At this moment, the big bow in Xu Xingxia's hand just hung down, and he had no intention of continuing to release the arrow. Tai Chiwu estimated that this one was his usual iron tire bow. As for the other dragon bow, it doesn't seem to have appeared. By Xu Xingxia's side, there was no one for the time being, as if he was the only one who appeared in the prairie.
However, Taichiu knew that this was impossible. As the supreme commander of the White Army, it is impossible for Xu Xingxia to appear here alone, just as it is impossible for Lin Dan Khan to appear alone. By Xu Xingxia's side, there must be other people. To be precise, it was Xu Xingxia who appeared, and the main force of the White Army should also appear. They'll be there soon. The war that broke out because of the battle for the Bayannur grassland will also kick off.
"Da Da Da!"
Sure enough, behind Xu Xingxia, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
A moment later, by Xu Xingxia's side, the white-clothed cavalry of the brigade appeared like a tide. Well, it can't be said that it is a brigade, it should be said that it is all over the mountains and fields, boundless! Xu Xingxia's figure was soon submerged by the sea of white-clothed troops. The tide-like white-clothed army continued to surge forward, and the mighty and huge momentum forced the Mongolian cavalry in front of them to retreat a short distance.
Depending on the troops, the white-clothed soldiers were wearing azure uniforms, hats of different colors, and some were wearing white cloaks, which stole the attention of all the Mongols at once. To be honest, this is the first time they have really seen the true face of the White Army. Before, the number of Eagle Cavalry, Eagle Cavalry, and Mastiff Cavalry was too small to show the strong appearance of the white-clothed army as a whole, nor could it leave a deep impression on them. Now, the white-clothed army rolling in all over the mountains and fields suddenly showed all this vividly.
Many Mongols wondered why the white-clothed army was not wearing the uniform of the Ming army. They are very familiar with the uniforms of the Ming army. This is not only because they often deal with the Ming army, but also because they almost became a member of the Ming army themselves. At the beginning, the iron lance cavalry equipment given to them by the Ming court included a full set of Ming army uniforms. However, the Mongols only wore the helmets and armor of the Ming army, and used the weapons of the Ming army, that is, they did not wear the military uniforms of the Ming army. These uniforms are still kept in a yurt.
Originally, Lin Dan and the Ming court agreed that all the Mongolian iron lance cavalry would wear the military uniforms of the Ming army. For the Ming court, I think this suggestion is not bad. If you put on the military uniform of the Ming army, it means that you are also part of the Ming army! This is attachment in a sense. It just so happened that at that time, Lin Dan Khan desperately befriended the court magnates, gave them all generous gifts, and paid a lot of good tribute to Emperor Wanli, and the court thought that Lin Dan Khan was a good person. So, they didn't think much about it and approved the equipment of these 50,000 people.
However, unexpectedly, they were put on a stand by Lin Dan Khan. After Lin Dan Khan got the equipment, he changed his mind and made excuses that the uniforms of the Ming army did not fit well, and refused to wear the uniforms of the Ming army. This time, his ambition was exposed. This is also the fundamental reason why Lin Dan Khan's idea was frustrated when he later wanted another batch of 50,000 iron lance cavalry equipment. The Ming court is not an idiot, you put one way, and you put a second way?
"Grass! So many people! ”
When Tai Chi Wu saw this scene in the back, his first reaction was to turn around and run. As a famous fierce general under Lin Dan Khan, Tai Chiwu is definitely not a stupid person. He has a basic common sense judgment. The cavalry of the white-clothed army appeared like a tidal wave, and at first glance, there would be no less than three thousand people. With such a small amount of Mongolian cavalry on his hand, confronting the cavalry of the 3,000-strong white-clothed army was simply sending him to death. Knowing that it was something to send to death, he would not do it. Because, in such a situation, there is no point in rushing to death.
There were so many white-clothed troops that the shore could hardly be seen at a glance. The preliminary inference is that 3,000 people are still less. Judging from the formation of the cavalry of the white-clothed army, it is definitely a posture of tens of thousands of people. The 3,000 Mongol cavalry led by Tai Chiwu, after a long distance of tracking and chasing, the team was already sparse and uneven. Those who rushed to the forefront were estimated to be only three or four hundred. Three or four hundred Mongolian cavalry, facing thousands of white-clothed cavalry, is simply looking for death!
In fact, they are indeed looking for death. The white-clothed army urgently reinforced the steppe this time to deal with Lin Dan Khan. When the so-called enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed. Lin Danhan wants to kill Xu Xingxia, why doesn't Xu Xingxia want to kill him? At this moment, the troops of both sides met, and they entered the battle state without any greeting at all.
The white-clothed cavalry in front of them all turned over and dismounted, and quickly lined up in a dense horizontal formation. All the muskets, all raised, were aimed at the Mongol cavalry in front. This is to shoot a collective salvo and give the other side a small dismount.
"All squadrons!"
"Ready!"
"Put!"
Zhang Quanfu categorically ordered.
The cavalry troops, who came to the steppe for the first time, pulled the trigger one after another, and their first salvo broke out. The cavalry has five squadrons with a full 1,500 men. A salvo of 1,500 muskets is as powerful as you can imagine.
