Chapter 918: Ninety-Three-Six: Hope
The weapons in his hand were even more terrifying, because all the weapons in the arsenal looked like children's toys in his hands, even those big axes and heavy hammers, so Dong Ce let him take a wolf whisk.
Yes, that's right, it's the kind of wolf that is common in the mandarin duck array.
It's just that his wolf whisk is much bigger than the others. The wolf whisk is two feet two or three feet long, the handle of the wolf whisk is the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and there are many branches on the wolf whisk in addition to the main trunk, and on this wolf whisk, even the branches are about the same thickness as the general spear, and it is also very strong and straight, and the tip of the branch is also inlaid with a sharp spearhead.
I don't know what kind of wood this wolf is used and how it was chosen. After Dong Ce got his hands, he also asked people to put a layer of iron on it, this wolf weighed more than forty catties, but it was light in the hands of Alatan Ula.
Alatanula was obviously quite satisfied with this weapon, and kept it with him all the time, even when he slept.
When he turned over and got on the horse, Dong Ce found that the war horse under the crotch of Alatan Ula was obviously pressed down a little shorter.
The size of this war horse was already the best among Mongolian horses, but Rao was a little unable to bear the weight of Alatanula. You must know that the Alatan Ula it is carrying now is more than 500 catties, even with people with armor and weapons.
Dong Ce glanced at Alatan Ulan and said with a smile: "It's time to turn around, I'm going to get you a Shire horse." ”
"Sharma? What is that? A good horse? I've never heard of it. ”
Alatanula had never heard of the name of such a horse, and asked in surprise.
Don't say it's him, I'm afraid that now in the Ming Dynasty, not many people have heard of this name, and the Shire horse is the best horse used as a heavy cavalry war horse in the world. The war horse of Alatan Ula is considered to be very large among Mongolian horses, even compared to the Hequ horse, it is also very good, but in the Shire horse, this is only a very average or even small size.
The particularly huge shire horse can even reach more than two meters in height, and the weight is two or three thousand catties, which makes people exclaim that it is simply a war horse of the size of a 'baby elephant'.
At this time in Europe, the glory of the heavy cavalry had gradually faded, and in the most glorious era of the heavy cavalry, their favorite mount was the Shire horse.
It's just that it is estimated that at this time, Da Ming should not even have a Shire horse. Now among the Europeans in the Ming Dynasty, the largest number is the missionaries, and those missionaries will naturally not take Sharma across the ocean and come here thousands of miles if they have nothing to do.
"It is a very large war horse, produced in the far west, and some shire horses are about as tall as you." Dong Ce said with a smile.
"As tall as me?" Alatan Ulla couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Dong Ce nodded, he looked at Alatan Ula and exclaimed: "Alatan Ula, you are really as powerful as a god, that kind of Sharma is the most suitable for you." ”
Alatan Ula smiled: "Thanks to the armor you helped me find, Lord Dong, a physique like mine will never be able to buy an armor in the Chahar Department." ”
Dong Ce laughed: "It's only now where to go, when you follow me to my territory in the future, I will let someone measure your size, and then give you a set of stronger and stronger plate armor." ”
Alatan Ulla wanted to ask what the plate armor was, but Dong Ce had already turned his head, facing his family, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go, you just need to follow me, where the big gun in my hand is pointed, you will follow me to kill!" ”
"Yes!"
The crowd was in an uproar, the voice was not loud, but it was deep and powerful.
Dong Ce led people over the small hill, and then killed Li Zicheng's department, which was only two or three miles away in front of him.
The direction in which he killed was the flank position of the thousands of people under Li Zicheng, and this position was undoubtedly very weak.
He no longer had the slightest disguise, and directly accelerated, beating the horse and galloping.
The movement here naturally couldn't hide from Li Zicheng and the others, and seeing the smoke and dust rising from the south, and constantly approaching this side, Li Zicheng was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. He thought it was a cavalry that he had placed farther away, and was approaching this side at high speed at the moment.
When the smoke and dust got closer and closer to this side, and after seeing the team's outfit clearly, Li Zicheng's face immediately changed greatly, and he realized that something was wrong.
This army could never be his own subordinates, as can be seen from the way they are dressed. His own subordinates, even if they are the elite of their own subordinates, cannot achieve a Ming standard cotton armor per person, and the war horses under the crotch are definitely not so sophisticated. And the banner of these people is clearly the banner of the official army!
He shouted loudly: "Brothers, another dog officer and soldier have come to kill you, hurry up and fight!" ”
Then one after another orders came out of his mouth, and he instructed the herald to tell the officers on the flank, telling them to quickly turn around and meet the slain army.
And when Li Zicheng and the others saw this killing officer army, Cao Wenzhao and others naturally saw it, and Cao Wenzhao, who was already heartbroken and ready to commit suicide, was shocked in his heart, and the fire of hope was rekindled. In fact, this person has a violent personality, is ruthless, decisive, and is also a person with a strong desire to survive. Fang Cai was just surrounded by people three layers inside and three layers outside, feeling that there was no hope of breaking through, the general trend was gone, and in despair, Fang was about to commit suicide.
At this time, he only saw a little hope, so he immediately rose up and struggled to earn a way for himself.
He was never the kind to sit back and wait.
Seeing that Li Zicheng ordered the heralds to give orders to the soldiers and horses on the flanks, Cao Wenzhao immediately captured the key to this battle situation, and whether he could kill it or not, he made a move here.
He immediately shouted, "Brothers, kill me, let's do it with these thieves!" ”
shouted, brandished a big gun, and killed the array of the invading army.
Behind him, his own soldiers followed, followed by the other cavalry. Originally, Cao Wenzhao and his men were very close to Li Zicheng's men, but now they suddenly killed them, and in just an instant, the two armies had already killed together.
Cao Wenzhao didn't want to kill the enemy much, nor did he want to break out of the encirclement with his own strength, he knew very well what he should do at this time: entangle the cavalry under Li Zicheng so that they have no time to be distracted to deal with the officer army that killed them, and then the officer army calmly attacked Li Zicheng's flank, in order to dig a big hole in the array of cavalry under Li Zicheng and pick himself out.
In other words, at this moment, he Cao Wenzhao became an auxiliary, and the main attack was the official army that came over.
Cao Wenzhao only needs to bring people to entangle Li Zicheng's men.
I have to say that Cao Wenzhao is really a general, his eyes are very vicious, and he saw that key point at once. Li Zicheng didn't expect Cao Wenzhao's eyes to be so vicious and so fast, and when he reacted, he found that his subordinates were already entangled with Cao Wenzhao and others. The heralds who had just gone to the flank with his orders did not know where they had been charged, and they might have been caught up in the chaos and killed.
The more than 1,000 people led by Cao Wenzhao were entangled with the more than 2,000 cavalry under Li Zicheng. Because the distance between them was not very far, and Fang Cai Li Zicheng and the others were almost stationary, it was just that Cao Wenzhao led people to launch a wave of rather short-distance charges, so the two sides were not the kind of formation formed after a large-scale cavalry hedged and collided. It's like two pieces of kraft candy stuck together, so that you have me criss-crossed.
Almost all the forces of the two sides in this area were divided into a small piece, which was cut by each other and fought with the enemy in front of them. Li Zicheng has the advantage of troops, and the personal combat strength of these cavalry under his command is not very bad, but no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to kill all the more than 1,000 cavalry under Cao Wenzhao in a short time.
These cavalrymen under Cao Wenzhao are not stupid, and they can see that if they don't work hard at this time, they will definitely die here today. As the saying goes, trapped beasts are still fighting, they are trapped beasts one by one at this time, fighting their greatest strength, the last blood bravery, to tear apart the enemy in front of them, and struggle for themselves to find a way out!
In this case, no matter how many ways Li Zicheng has to deal with it, he can only do it in vain.
Because almost all of the troops under his command have been cut into small pieces by the officers and soldiers, and he has even lost effective command over these subordinates. Now his orders can probably only effectively cover the three or five hundred people around him.
And Cao Wenzhao has already taken the most elite soldiers under his command to fight a bloody way out of the heavy army, and came straight to Li Zicheng.
Now the distance between Cao Wenzhao and Li Zicheng is only about ten steps.
Li Zicheng has no time to care, he has to at least deal with Cao Wenzhao first, otherwise, it is possible that Cao Wenzhao will kill him directly, which is too wronged.
Cao Wenzhao brandished a big gun and shouted: "Wu Na thief, give Lao Tzu his life." ”
