Chapter 588 Han Family Iron Cavalry VS Mongolian Firearms Four Full 150 votes
"Kill! Kill the Tartars and go to heaven! β
"Kill the Tartars!"
Thousands of sword and shield bearers, including those of the Ming army and those of the Tang army, all stood up violently when they heard the sound of the charging snare drums and military trumpets, and began to rush without saying a word.
According to the regulations of the Ming Army, the sword and shield bearers must be the elite of the infantry, not only outstanding in martial arts, but also in battle. So they all know that this opponent is easy to deal with - the gunners, no shields and long-handled guys! The Gun Lifter is not a hand-to-hand fighter, and the formation that the Gun Lifter excludes is very scattered, which is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat at all. Isn't it taking credit to fight such an opponent?
This color is also a tartar! The head can also be exchanged for meritorious promotion!
"Not good! The thief charged! β
Ali Hague, who was riding on a camel, was the actual commander of the battle, he was born in a cowardly manner, and he had been through dozens of battles, even if there was smoke in front of him, he knew everything with just one ear.
"Fortunately, there are only a thousand people at most." Ali Hague's brows loosened and he let out a sigh. If the enemy is more than 3,000, he will have to order a retreat.
"Pass on the order of a certain general, abandon the gun and draw the sword......" Halfway through his order, his brows furrowed again, where did his subordinates have knives? There is only one mace - this thing is indeed very powerful, if a Mongol with a thick arm could use it, the enemy would not be able to carry it even in steel armor!
But the problem is, the arms of those third-class eyes don't look very thick!
"Abandon the sword, draw the sword...... Pull the hammer! β
When Ah Lao Wading was worried about where to find the root stab, the hundred household officials above gave a new order.
Abandon the gun! Hammer ......
Old Wattin is the master of the hammer, whether it is an iron hammer or a wooden hammer. He's all playing. But this mace ......
Old Wattin had already carried a three-foot-long, oddly shaped hammer in his hand. The portion is okay, and Ah Lao Wadin, who is used to blacksmith work, is still very strong. But the question is...... Old Wadin doesn't know how to fight. He hadn't practiced much eitherβthe reason why he had been sent to a ten-household chief to take charge of the three guns was because ordinary soldiers couldn't mix H medicine accurately, and these guys had never fully mastered the art of loading firearms, so they needed to be taught by a master like him.
Just when Old Wattin didn't know how to use this mace to kill, thousands of horizontal knives and ring hand knives, carrying the strong wind, crashed straight into the hand-to-hand combat formations that had not yet been listed. These horizontal knives and hand knives tore through the leather armor and the chain mail inside, piercing the third-class eyes of a famous military commander. Spat blood from his mouth and fell down screaming.
In the blink of an eye, these warriors of the Tang Army of the Ming Army had already withdrawn their broadswords, and then stabbed them out again!
Anyone who has been on the battlefield several times knows that in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield, direct stabbing is definitely the most effective means of killing. Faster and more effective than slashing. Therefore, in the combat drill of the Ming infantry, the first choice of the big horizontal knife in the infantry fight is to stab!
Moreover, the length and straight shape of the large horizontal knife also determine that it is a very efficient assassination tool!
The pop of a sharp blade piercing into the human body, the sound of blades colliding, suddenly burst out. Silenced the sound of everything!
Hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, not to mention in the 13th century, and even in the Russo-Japanese War in the early 20th century, was a very important means of battlefield fighting. An army that does not dare to see red with bayonets. It is not combative.
And the main role of firearms, especially artillery, for a long time was not to kill the enemy. Instead, it blasted the opponent's formation apart. Because the power of hand-to-hand combat is far greater than that of hand-to-hand combat.
The sword and shield hand of the Ming and Tang armies. Although there was no dense phalanx, not even a horizontal formation of three or four columns. Just a long line of thin lines rushed up. But it still made the color-eyed soldiers who were not in formation suffer a big loss. As soon as the two sides collided, the soldiers were no longer able to stand, and they were rushed backwards, and the ones in the last row even collided with the camels behind them. Cause even more chaos!
The firearms unit of more than 10,000 people was actually swept away by thousands of hand-to-hand soldiers, and the whole line was shaken.
However, after all, there were only a thousand sword and shield men sent by the Ming and Tang armies, and they were not elite steel-armored soldiers. Although their onslaught could shake the other side, it was not enough to collapse the more than 10,000 people of the Colored Eye-Lifters.
Hand-to-hand combat, and then it began.
Unfold between a broadsword and a hammer!
Ah Lao Wattin looked at the hammer in his hand, and then looked at the rows of Semu soldiers rolling and retreating in front of him, and his heart was suddenly full of powerlessness.
"Why a hammer? Why did the Mongols now switch to hammers instead of using good scimitars? How can they not use a hammer in Baghdad......"
"Kill the Tartars! Go to Heaven! β
The Chinese roar interrupted Old Wadin's thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that the straight knife had already flown towards him.
How do you use a hammer to resist a straight knife that is more sharp than half a person?
The correct answer is to use a round shield of willowwood, of course, it is better to use a sickle to open the horizontal knife, and then use a hammer to smash the opponent's helmet or steel armor...... But in his hand he had only a hammer, no shield, and no sickle.
"Dead!" Ah Lao Wattin looked at the big knife that stabbed him, trembled, and even raised the hammer to block it, and his mind was full of one thought: Death! And if you don't get seventy-two virgins as prizes, you will probably go to hell...... For he did not die in the duty of the holy battle of Jihad! He is now serving the enemies of the true God!
The Mongols slaughtered Baghdad, killed the caliphs, and embraced Buddhism and Christianity, they were all Kafir!
"God, forgive me!" Old Wattin closed his eyes, let out a final roar with all his strength, and then fell to his knees with his legs limp, and threw the hammer in his hand aside.
However, the Han Chinese broadsword did not pierce him in the chest. The broadsword just rested on his neck, and then the sound of gongs and Chinese conversations rang out.
"Caught a Lustful Tartar! Do you want to slaughter it? β
"Don't slaughter, take him back, there is still a merit for a beheading, and you can sell him for some money to spend......"
In the end, the Han people are benevolent and righteous, and the enemy who lays down his arms, even if it is Semu, will not be killed. If he is captured alive, it can be regarded as a beheading, and he can also be sold for two dollars - the current Ming Dynasty, of course, has a thousand evils of slavery (capitalism is evil, and slavery is said to be less evil than capitalism). It's just that the Han people are not slaves, and the Semu Tartars captured on the battlefield are a talking property!
β¦β¦
"We repelled them! Thank God that we have repelled them! β
Seeing the opponent's sword and shield hand holding the captured captive, he swaggered away with the head that had just been cut off. But Justin shouted with joy. The enemy, after all, is retreating!
"Don't be too happy!" Ali Hague's face turned pale, and he looked around with wide eyes. Today is a windless day, and the smoke that permeates the battlefield is very slow, and it has not completely dissipated yet. So visibility on the battlefield is not too high. But Ali Hague can still see the tragic situation of his 10,000-strong team.
There are no less than 2,000 people lying on their backs everywhere! Some of them had no heads, and blood flowed out and froze in the snow, forming all sorts of strange patterns.
There were also some people who were dying, lying on the ground, or sitting on the ground, also bleeding from the ground, and some were still holding their hands to something, and there were weak wails and cries for help. It looks so miserable and panicked!
Most of the remaining people, who were not injured or dead, stood in a daze, neither helping the wounded nor rebuilding their formation, as if they were completely frightened and stupid.
If it weren't for the fact that these Han people retreated too quickly, this 10,000-strong army would definitely collapse on the whole line!
Ali Hague rode quietly on a camel, staring at the tragic situation in front of him in a daze, and his mind was blank.
He never imagined that the Eye-Lifter Army, which he had worked so hard to train and organize, and had almost exhausted his sweaty money bag, would be so vulnerable! Not to mention how much success those bombardment efforts have achieved, just by relying on the opponent's basic impact of 1,000 people, almost the entire 10,000-person team has been destroyed, you can know how indiscriminate this kind of soldiers are.
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if the ground trembled, and then there was a series of thunderous hoofs.
"Cavalry! The cavalry is coming! β
Someone shouted, Ali Hague woke up violently, and then there was a wave of despair.
The cavalry of the Han people charged! And you don't know what to do?
Hammer cavalry with a three-foot-long mace?
It's a joke! No, this so-called Raising the Gun is a joke at all!
Thousands of horses, like a torrential rain, had crashed into the stinging sergeants who had not yet recovered from the blow. The owners of these lances are naturally the most elite Xuanjia knights of the Tang Army!
The Xuanjia cavalry can be said to be a product of the peak era of the Han family's armed forces! It was a combination of the strongest samurai in the world at the time, the best war horses, the finest armor and weapons. It appeared hundreds of years earlier than the Polish hussars of Pingduzhenlu, which were similar in European history.
Such cavalry is an elite that can charge the enemy's infantry phalanx!
It's a pity that such a powerful cavalry corps ceased to exist in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and in another time and space, the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry never ushered in a time of revival.
But now, the Xuanjia cavalry is back! It seems that hundreds of years ago, when the Han warriors crisscrossed the desert of the Western Regions, they directly crossed back, and at the highest speed, they slammed into the depths of the formation of the Semu spear-raising army, wielding a horse lance and whipping it in all directions. Such a fierce impact gave these color-eyed spearmen a fatal blow! (To be continued......)
