The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 863
Nearly.

Nearly.

Accompanied by the noisy dust, the Yuan army's cavalry was getting closer to the Tiansu army's formation.

In the end, it stopped about two hundred meters away from the Tiansu Army.

This is a very particular distance.

Fighting in the wild, the weapon with the longest range in the army does not come from the ballista.The effective range of the ballista is only two to 300 meters.

The generals of the Yuan army are afraid that this is also inertial thinking.As everyone knows, the cold weapons such as crossbow carts have long been abandoned in the Song army.

After all, although the ballista has a long range, it is too bulky and not suitable for flexible combat.In comparison, grenades are undoubtedly hundreds of times stronger than ballistas.

More and more Yuan army soldiers appeared on the official road.

They were going out of the city to pursue them, so naturally they would not carry such heavy cold weapons as ballistas.

Looking at the bunker made of stones in front of the Tiansu Army, General Yuan at the front looked a little ugly.

Although Song Jun's hastily piled up bunkers didn't look very strong, it would more or less always affect the charge of his cavalry.

And the trump card of their Yuan army is the charge of cavalry.

Facing the Song army, only in this way can it be possible to win.If it's a firearms competition, it's all looking for abuse.

The horse scratched its front hooves restlessly.

The two armies confront each other.

After a few minutes, He Chenghua suddenly shouted to the front of the Yuan army: "Hey, if you don't attack, I will leave."

There was a sound of laughter in the Tiansu army.

The general of the Yuan army looked even more ugly.

Of course he wanted to attack, but every time he thought of Song Jun's firearms, he was worried that he would not be able to chew on this hard bone.

Now is not the era when their Yuan army was invincible.

At this moment, the Yuan general named Dulei even regretted that he just led the [-] soldiers to pursue him.It's just that they rushed into the city, but they couldn't mobilize more people.

Until now, there are still many soldiers who are escorting grain, grass, ordnance, etc., and have never been stationed in Songxi County.

After looking at each other with the two captains beside him, Du Lei said, "You two, shall we attack or not?"

Although he was temporarily appointed as the chief general, the status of the two commanders next to him in the army was not inferior to his.At this moment, Du Leibaomo also has the idea of ​​sharing the pressure.

As long as you have asked the meaning of these two ten thousand captains, even if it is unfavorable to fight with the Song army, he will not be the only one who needs to take responsibility.

And these two ten thousand chiefs were not unreasonable, there was a strange look in their eyes, and they instantly understood Du Lei's meaning.

In this battle, a good fight is a military achievement.If you don't fight well, it's a crime.

But there was still a captain Wan who was in silver armor and said: "Our army has already chased here, if you go back here, you will be punished by the commander."

This is not a big deal, more than 3 of them came out to pursue the Song Army's [-] people, and if they retreated like this, they would be ridiculed by the whole world.

The other Chief Wan said: "Why don't we test it for now."

Du Lei, who was tall and thick, nodded slightly.

He didn't intend to let the two captains go to the top of this probing matter, and directly ordered: "The cavalry in the army, prepare to charge!"

The ratio of cavalry in the Yuan army is undoubtedly the highest in the army of this era, and half of the army is cavalry.Even if Zhao Dongting tried his best in the whole country, he could only allow the cavalry in the imperial army and the garrison military area to reach this ratio.Raising cavalry costs more resources than raising infantry.Of course, for Da Song, the more difficult thing to get is the war horse.

About [-] cavalry in the Dulei army slowly advanced more than ten meters.

Flags in the army fluttered.There are not a few generals in armor.

"Ok?"

He Chenghua couldn't help being slightly surprised when he watched the Yuan army's few thousand cavalry step forward in the position.

He could tell that the Yuan army did not intend to directly launch a general attack.

He immediately ordered: "Order the detonator and grenadier battalion, do not give orders and do not do anything."

The messengers on the side didn't care so much, they just ran down to pass the orders.

Next to He Chenghua was a bookish-looking general in black armor, and said, "Old He, are you planning to show the enemy your weakness first?"

Judging from his tone, it is obvious that he has a good relationship with He Chenghua.

This person is Du Yuhou in the Tiansu Army, named Zhou Zhangqiang, who was originally a think tank in the She People's Rebel Army.

Since the reorganization of Zhao Dongting's army, each forbidden army has set up a chief and deputy commander, Du Yuhou, who is in charge of the battle, and Du Yuhou is equivalent to a political commissar, in charge of life, logistics and so on.

Therefore, the Marquis of Du Yu in each army is actually a scholar, because the management of logistics is really not something that reckless people can do.

After hearing Zhou Zhangqiang's words, He Chenghua just smiled lightly and said, "What if you beat them too hard and scare them away?"

Naturally, his target is not just the thousands of cavalry in this area.

When Wen Tianxiang ordered them to abandon Songxi and Zhenghe, he made a point of explaining that they would beat the Yuan army.Only in this way can the Yuan army directly launch a decisive battle.

Zhou Zhangqiang also smiled a little beside him.

He Chenghua shouted again: "Aim! Get ready to shoot!"

"beat!"

Yellow dust billowed ahead, and He Chenghua yelled when the Yuan army was within a few tens of meters of the formation.

Dense gunshots rang out.

The soldiers in the front row of the iron cavalry of the Yuan army were shot one after another and fell off their horses.

But the army behind still charged towards the Song army's position one after another.

"Larry!"

He Chenghua shouted again when the Yuan army who waited at the front was only ten meters away from the army formation.

The soldier who led the thunder suddenly pulled the fuse in his hand.

Rumbling thunder.

Dust spread.

The front became extremely messy in an instant.

Thousands of cavalry from the Yuan army were probably engulfed in the explosion, turning their backs on their backs and flying flesh and blood.

In the back, Du Lei and the others just watched the scene coldly.

They knew more or less the depth of the Song army, and they naturally understood that it was impossible for the Song army to only use Shenlong blunderbuss for defense.

Perhaps even the thunder formation was already within their expectations.As for this loss, Du Lei and the others were naturally already mentally prepared.

"Blow the horn!"

Seeing the dust and gunpowder smoke in front of him gradually covering his sight, Du Lei just gave the order.

The Yuan Army trumpet rang.

The iron cavalry of the Yuan Army, which had been flustered by the explosion, regrouped and charged forward again.

"Throw mine!"

He Chenghua ordered again.

But he never intended to let the grenadier battalion fire.

Thunderbolts were thrown out by the Song soldiers.

The loss of the Yuan army's iron cavalry was even more serious.

However, someone in the Yuan army ran Hong Tianlei into the Song army's position.

This caused Song Jun to suffer a little.

The official road is so wide that it can only accommodate about five or six horses charging side by side.It seems that this battle will not end so soon.

Du Lei and others see hope.

With only five thousand cavalry, they have already rushed to the front of the Song Army's position, posing a threat to the Song Army's formation.With an army of more than [-] on their trip, it seemed that they could completely eat up the Song army.

Although, that is bound to pay a huge price.

But what is this?
Du Lei knew very well in his heart that even if he killed more than half of the [-] soldiers in order to destroy the Song Kingdom's Tiansu Army, the commander would definitely praise him, not scold him.

After all, how many soldiers were there in the Yuan Dynasty, and how many forbidden troops were there in the Song Dynasty?

The generals of the Yuan Dynasty also understood the difference in combat effectiveness between the two armies.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Du Lei said to the two elders beside him: "The two generals are also going to let the cavalry charge! If you destroy the Tiansu army, the commander will definitely reward you."

The eyes of the two ten thousand captains were slightly shining.

Dolley could see it, and they could, of course.

The sound of gunfire continued.

The official roads before the Song army's position had been bombed to the point of being potholed, but the Yuan army's iron cavalry was still spreading forward.

Some people even charged directly into the Song Army's position.

But Du Lei and others may not have noticed that even though their soldiers rushed into the position, the Song Army did not show much panic.

The soldiers still just fired their guns and threw mines in an orderly manner.

This made the five thousand cavalry of the Yuan army who charged first decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Yuan army rushed out of the army again on cavalry.

"kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing continued.

When night finally fell, there were already countless human and horse corpses lying in the Tiansu army's position.But in the back, the cavalry seems to be endless.

On such an official path, what is fought is a war of attrition.The narrowness of the battle area is also destined to prevent the loss of soldiers on both sides too quickly.

Until... the last iron cavalry of the Yuan army finally all came forward.
