Chapter 111 Repairing Fushun Pass (5)
Watching the Korqin Mongolian cavalry rushed up, the knife player in front blocked a round of bow and arrow shooting, he immediately retreated. The spearmen behind him stepped forward to make up for the position, and the three-eyed spearmen followed closely behind the spearmen.
The archers and crossbowmen shot a round of arrows, and the arrows pierced into the dense formation of Mongolian light cavalry, shooting down at least one hundred Mongolians. At the same time, the light Franchise aircraft on both sides spewed out flames, and solid shells pierced into the cavalry crowd, stirring up a blood mist. The Korchin light cavalry, together with their men and horses, fell down again.
The light Franco gunner who had fired solid shells held an iron hook in his hand, hooked out the sub-gun in the abdomen, and replaced it with a sub-gun that had been loaded with a shotgun.
The light cavalry sprinted very fast. At this time, the Korqin light cavalry was only more than twenty steps away from the first horse-repelling. The war horses were spiritual animals. Seeing the shiny spearheads aimed at them in front of them, the horses in front wanted to retract their feet and dared not rush forward. The Korqin cavalry clamped their feet, and the spurs pierced into the horse's belly, driving the war horses to forcibly rush to the horse's rifle formation.
The Korqin cavalry who rushed in the front bumped into the first row of the squad rifles. With the sound of the gun bar breaking, the first Korqin cavalry who hit the squad rifles was immediately tied into a horse's nest, and the Korqin cavalry on the horse's back was also tied into a squad squad by the squad rifles. The war horse, which had lost its life, fell to the ground, continued to rush forward under the action of inertia, and broke several squad rifles.
The second war horse hit the horse-resisting rifle. The dying war horse was in pain and rolled forward. The Korqin cavalry on the horse's back flew up, flying in the air, dancing and flying into the formation of the Ming army's spearmen.
"Puff" a row of long spears entered the flesh, and the Korchin cavalry flying over were picked up in the air by several long spears.
Another war horse rushed over. With his extremely exquisite horsemanship, the Korqin cavalry jumped up with his men and horses, flew over the horse-rewarding rifle formation, and flew into the Ming army's spearmen crowd behind the rifle.
A row of spears was diagonally towards the sky, and the falling war horses were stabbed into the belly of the horse by spears. Only a row of spears were heard broke, and the body of the people and horses, which was about 500 kilograms, smashed into the crowd of spearmen, and two spearmen were killed.
"Boom boom boom" light Franchise aircraft and turtledog guns spewed out flames from both wings, and the shotguns formed cross fire. The Korchin light cavalry, whose speed decreased in front of the rush, fell down a large area, and human corpses and horse corpses piled up into a hill.
The barrier of the corpse forced the Korqin cavalry to slow down. The Korqin light cavalry behind bypassed the pile of corpses in the middle and continued to rush towards the Resistant Armor.
With the sound of a series of gun bars breaking, all the Korqin light cavalry rushing in front were hung on the snatch gun, but they did not die in vain. All the snatch guns were broken and flew away, revealing the formation of the snatch soldiers behind them.
The Mongolian cavalry behind rushed up, but heard a series of neighing horses, and the war horses fell to the ground one after another.
"Damn it! Iron caltrops!" A Mongolian centurion discovered that the Ming army had scattered the subway caltrops on the ground at some point. After seeing the horse-rejecting rifle being broken, the Mongolian cavalry behind rushed forward, but did not notice the iron caltrops. The war horses stepped on it, and people were overturned, and a large area fell down.
The Korqin cavalry behind stepped on the human and horse corpses in front and rushed towards the Ming army's spearmen who had no obstacles in front.
The Ming army's spearmen in the front were half-squatting on the ground, with their spears diagonally upwards, and their guns were pierced to the ground, and their spears held the guns. The second row of spearmen stood still, with their spears diagonally upwards, and their guns were pressed against the ground, and their hands were tightly held onto the guns. The spears in the third row of spearmen pointed straight ahead, and the spear head was slightly raised by an angle.
In fact, the three rows of spearmen in the front are also the spearmen with the highest death rate. Although the war horses that hit at high speed will be killed by spears, the corpse will continue to rush forward, and it is likely to knock out two-layer spearmen, or even three-layer spearmen.
The archers and crossbowmen kept firing arrows, and the loaded light Franchise fired again, killing the Korchin light cavalry without protection as much as possible, reducing the pressure on the spearmen.
Mongolian cavalry fell one after another, but a row of Korqin cavalry who rushed through the fire net hit the spear formation. The first row of spears broke one after another. The cavalry, who were tied into meat skewers, continued to rush forward under the action of inertia. Some knocked away the first row of spearmen, some stopped until the second row of spearmen flew away, and some even directly crashed into the third floor!
Therefore, if the thickness of the spearmen is too thin, it will not be able to block the impact of the cavalry.
However, Gao Shixin's spearmen formation is more than six layers thick. The Korchin cavalry is not a heavy cavalry. Generally speaking, it can only break through the first layer of spearmen. Very few people can break through the second layer, let alone break through the third layer.
In front of the first row of spearmen, the human corpses and horse corpses of the Korqin Mongols piled up into a small hill. The Korqin cavalry behind rushed forward and continued to crash into the Ming army's spearmen like moths to a fire.
The Korqin cavalry paid the price of losing more than 200 people (plus being killed by long-range weapons) and knocked away the first-level spearmen, while the Ming army only lost more than 20 people.
These spearmen in the Ming army were half-aged children, but everyone was fearless. A row of spearmen in front was knocked over, and the spearmen behind were half-squatted down, and the spear head was aimed at the Korchin cavalry rushing towards them, waiting for the enemy to bump into them.
The Korqin Light Cavalry jumped over the pile of corpses and hit the formation of the spearmen again. A large area fell down in one go. The formation of the spearmen was also broken by the Korqin Light Cavalry. However, the gap was quickly filled by the spearmen behind, and once again formed an unbreakable spear formation.
The formation of the spearmen was getting thinner and thinner at the naked eye, but the speed of the Mongols falling down was much faster than the speed of the spearmen's formation becoming thinner.
As the bodies in front piled up higher and higher, the speed of the Korqin light cavalry quickly slowed down. The three-eyed gunmen behind the Ming army's spearmen walked up with three-eyed guns. They held the wooden pole with one hand, grabbed the fire rope with the other, and poked it into the fire gate. Only the roaring sound of guns was heard, and the white smoke spread out rose, and the Mongolian light cavalry who were blocked ten steps fell down in pieces.
The crossbowmen and archers climbed onto the chariots on both sides and galloped past the wings. The Korqin cavalry who were shooting light arrows shot away the dense rain of arrows, and brought down countless Korqin cavalry passing through the wings.
Because both wings of the Ming army were chariot formations, the Korqin cavalry did not dare to directly attack the heavy chariots, so they only used cavalry bows to harasse the shooting when they ran over the two wings, but were killed and injured by the arch and crossbow machines, with heavy casualties.
He saw with his own eyes that more than a thousand Korchin cavalry were almost all over, but the formation of the Ming army's spearmen was still moving, and Mangguertai gasped: "Why are these Ming dogs so powerful?"
If it were other Ming troops encountered by the Later Jin army, the Ming army would have collapsed long ago with the charge of the Korqin cavalry. However, this strange Ming army caused almost all of the Korqin light cavalry to fall in front of the spear formation, and the Ming army's formation was not at all chaotic.
"Belle, the Korqin people have suffered too much loss. We can't fight anymore. Let's restrain Minggou here. When the main army of the four Beile arrived, we will launch an attack again!" Muktan advised.
