Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 46 Flanking!

While the Qi army was advancing, a team also gathered in the barracks in the south of the city.

Their once-strong bodies were thin and sickly, but the habits they had developed after decades of military career still prompted them to gather together, relying on their horses and antlers, to prepare for battle.

White-haired old soldier.

Those who were under 50 years old and in good health were all separated, leaving only the former soldiers who began to age after their [-]s, and those with missing arms and legs.They had a lot of actual combat experience but were old and weak. They were gathered together by Bilig Khan and placed in the south of the city. At the very least, they could lead the others to hold on for a while longer and buy enough time for the armies on both wings.

The soft arrow hit the large shield of the Qi army, and did not stop the Qi army's pace at all.

The watchtowers on both sides have long been destroyed by Xie Yong. Now, Xie Yong has also dismounted from his horse and handed it over to his own soldiers.

He Xie Yong was born as a general!

The two armies were getting closer and closer, so close that the old and weak behind the Juma could clearly see the cold light reflected on the iron clothes by the fire.

At 100 paces, some people kept organizing salvos, but all the good weapons were taken away. They only had small soft bows played by children and some old bows that were about to dry out for decades. It sounds pretty good on Iron Armor.

There was a lot of shouting and cursing in the team, some scolded the Qi army, but most of them cursed that Bilig Khan is not a thing, it is simply devoid of conscience.

At 50 steps, Xie Yong held it up and pointed straight ahead.

"All-army assault!"

The high-pitched suona sounded straight into the sky, and Xian Deng, who was still walking fast, started to run.

"Follow the Sajia!" Lu Da took the lead, and rammed into the past with a henna stick in his hand. With a sweep of the stick, he picked up a refusal horse, opened the gap, and smashed to death several Yuan troops hiding behind with several swings. He boarded the camp with Lu Da as the front, and plunged into the Yuan army's formation.

"The two wings and the rear army immediately deploy a defensive formation!" Xie Yong ordered when he saw that Lu Da led the team into the Yuan army's formation.

The trumpeter raised his suona, and blew a loud long and short sound first. Then, the trumpeter in the army also heard the trumpet from the position of the chief general. The trumpeter immediately began to sound the trumpet one after another until it reached the ears of the two wings and the general of the rear army.

The corresponding troops immediately hoisted the flag to signal, the trumpeter understood, and stopped after blowing it twice.

"The whole army is facing outward, and the car camp is defending!"

The generals who received the order immediately gave the order, and after the trumpeter passed the order in the same way, the subordinate officers of the various ministries who received the order led their subordinates to turn around.

The lower-level officers already knew the general plan, and they just had to wait patiently for the command of the general. When they heard the order to defend, the lower-level officers immediately led their subordinates to face outward, and the car battalion pushed the light vehicle to the forefront, and placed it in the front row. Yanyue Formation.Put down the support on the car, pick up the long gun and jump on the chariot, and aim the tip of the gun at the small hole reserved for the long gun on the front panel of the car.

Shieldmen and spearmen followed closely behind, defending the gap between the vehicles.The crossbowman also came behind the spearman, he pulled up the bowstring, held the crossbow arrow in his hand, and waited for the next cavalry attack.

In the east, the sun came up.

The ten thousand rays of sunlight shone on the endless prairie through the gaps in the clouds, covering the vast field with a layer of golden brilliance.

In the distance, the cavalry of the Yuan Army in Xiaguang rushed out from behind the city wall, turned a corner, and slammed straight towards the two wings at high speed.

. . . . . .

Before, when the eagle shooter saw his scout horse running back, he had already sent a message to the city. The two city lords in the east and west were dragged out of the bed by the messenger. The enemy attacked, and hurriedly pushed away the messengers, put on robes and armor indiscriminately, and at the same time let people wake up the young and strong who were still sleeping.

For a while, the gongs and drums in the camp outside the city woke up the young men and women who were still sleeping soundly. They immediately got up when they were sleeping in their clothes. Those who had horses picked up the saddles and ran towards their own horses. The others also rushed out of the tent, grabbed the spears leaning on the wooden frame, and gathered in the school grounds.

In just a quarter of an hour, the team barely stood up.

Without armor to wear, they stood unevenly together, looking like they were still awake. After being whipped for nearly half a month, this group of young men could finally understand simple instructions and form a simple army formation.

"The Qi army is attacking the southern city wall, everyone, follow me to the rescue!" After the general of the eastern city finished speaking, he mounted his horse and rushed out in the first place.

The regular soldiers and horse troops followed closely behind, and the young and strong horse troops also hurriedly followed.

Before long, there were only some half-grown children and younger brothers and sisters who were not as tall as wheels in the entire Eastern Army barracks.

The same is true of the barracks in the west city.

. . . . . .

Meng Gen was a Taiji from a small tribe of the Tumet Department. He was favored by the Great Khan and appointed Tumian Nayan of the Eastern Army to command the entire Eastern Army's horse army.

This has nothing to do with him being the nephew of Tumed Huntaiji Ombu Chuhuer, it is all because of his bravery in fighting.

Although he became Tumian Nayan at a young age that no one else dared to imagine, Meng Gen was not at all happy.

Don't look at him leading an army of [-] horses, which seems very imposing, but Meng Gen knows exactly what these people are like.This group of people has only been together for less than half a month, and most of them are young and energetic young men and aggressive girls. Although they look very docile when they are whipped during training, they are holding back a feeling of selfishness in their hearts. stock fire.

It is estimated that everyone is very powerful in fighting with the wind, but once the attack is blocked or broken up, it is estimated that they will abandon themselves without saying a word and run away as an organization.

How could this group of young men from different tribes have gathered into an army so easily if it hadn't been for the orders of Hun Taiji from their respective tribes.

The prestige of Bilig Khan?Not worthy yet.

Meng Gen shook his head, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, and stared at the formation of the Qi army.

"Let's go!" Meng Gen ordered, and the Yuan army behind him followed closely behind, and followed Meng Gen straight to the Qi army.

As for why not use Mangudai.

Their cavalry bows could not shoot as far as the powerful crossbows of the Qi army, but they shot faster.

Their bows can hit 180 steps upwards with light arrows, but they can't break through the Qi army's armor. Although heavy arrows can break through armor, their range is even closer.

The Qi army's standard crossbow can hit nearly [-] paces, and when they rushed to the effective range and shot the arrow before leaving, the Qi army would have shot several rounds if they were fast.

The most important thing is that even if the Qi army can be killed with Mangu, in this period of time, the Qi army can break through the city for several rounds. The attacking party is the Qi army and not them!

We can only rush to the Qi army's formation!

Meng Gen held the reins tightly, kicked the horse's belly, and increased his speed.

. . . . . .

Li Cang, commander of the right army, stared at the Yuan army charging straight ahead, calculating the distance in his heart.

When the Yuan army approached more than 400 steps, Li Cang drew out his saber.

"Shoot!" The trumpeter next to Li Cang immediately blew the sound of releasing arrows. The crossbowmen ordered them to raise their crossbows in unison. The assistants next to him quickly put arrows in. The crossbowmen raised their crossbows and pulled the trigger. , A round of arrow rain covered the sky and blocked out the sun, shooting at the Yuan army who was rushing towards them.

The crossbowman immediately put the front end of the crossbow on the ground. The assistant leaned over and stepped on the stirrup together with the crossbowman.

"Shoot!!" Li Cang yelled again!
The crossbowmen once again finished releasing arrows, firing them, and winding them in unison.

"Shoot!!!" Li Cang yelled again as the veins on his neck popped up!
The crossbowman fired again, winding.

The overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the Yuan army!

"Raise your shield!"

Meng Gen, who charged straight forward with a spear in hand, shouted towards the rear without hesitation!

Maybe it was the effect of training, or maybe it was an instinctive defensive reaction. Everyone behind them raised their round shields, shrinking their heads and bodies behind the shields as much as possible.

Soon, the first round of arrow rain fell on the Yuan army.

The round shield had little effect, even if it blocked the body, there were still horses exposed to the rain of arrows.

A crossbow shot straight through the horse's head and fell to the ground in an instant, throwing the knight on his back flying, and fell silent on the ground.Those who were lucky enough to be alive were also knocked down by the friendly army behind them, and trampled into a pulp by the huge horse army.

The rest were those who penetrated the shield in the middle of the sky and were stunned and fell off the horse. Some shields were lifted too high and were shot in the torso, killing them on the spot.

The arrow rain was gone, and when everyone looked up at the sky to observe, they found out in despair that the next wave of arrow rain was coming again.

The companions who were still laughing and laughing in the morning were already lying on the ground without making a sound, and the lumps of meat paste on the road further broke down the psychological defense of the follow-up Yuan army. Half a month ago, they were still honest herdsmen, respectful and professional. They were grazing in fear, and as a few "smart men" slowed down their horses, the others followed suit and slowed down, watching the situation carefully. If that dog-like Meng Gen penetrated the Qi army , then they will become the bravest Battelle, otherwise, they will preserve their vitality...

Meng Gen, who rushed to the front, didn't know what his good subordinates were thinking. Fortunately, the crossbow arrow just hit his chest and was blocked by the brass heart guard. Now, except for the pain in his chest, the rest No injuries at all.

"Changshengtian still loves me!"

The more Meng Gen thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes turned red, and he felt that the Qi army's chariot in front of him seemed to be smashed with a single shot.

Longevity gives me strength!

Soon it was close to two hundred steps away from the Qi army.

"Fire arrows!"

Meng Gen shouted, took out his bow and arrow and shot.

The people behind followed suit, quickly took out their bows and arrows, and played their lives with archery.

After six rounds of volley, Li Cang ordered the crossbowmen to retreat, and the crossbowmen retreated in an orderly manner. The flailman holding the flail quickly made up his position and stood behind the spearman.

Some of the chariot soldiers squatting on the car and some elite archers stood at the front, shooting and killing some Yuan troops.

As Tumian Nayan, Meng Gen's armor is naturally extraordinary. Even the war horse under his crotch is assigned a part of the vest, covering the head, neck and chest.

Meng Gen, who was all over excited, seemed to have forgotten the pain, and his reaction speed was greatly increased. people.

The rain of arrows came, the shield hand raised the shield, the gunner and the flailer also lowered their heads, and pressed the round shield tied to their arms to their heads.Only the sound of clanging strikes could be heard in the Qi army's formation. The Yuan army's first round of attack used light arrows that could not penetrate the Qi army's armor.

Soon, the second and third rounds of arrow rain also fell, each time getting heavier and heavier.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and they knew that the most terrible fourth round of arrow rain was coming.

Meng Gen drew out a heavy arrow, threw it out again, and instantly penetrated the helmet of an unlucky Qi soldier, lay on the ground convulsing, and died.

Seeing this, the surrounding Qi Jun shrank again.

Seeing that he had reached fifty paces, Meng Gen immediately put his bow back into the bow pouch, grabbed the spear hanging from the saddle, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed towards the carriage camp.

"Hold on, hold on, all the gunners get ready!" the leader of the car battalion yelled at both sides, and the gunners squatting on the light vehicles tightly held the guns in their hands, so nervous that they swallowed wildly.

Yuan Jiang, who was running wildly from a distance, was getting closer and closer to him, and gradually, he could see the hideous face with his tongue sticking out.

Meng Gen quickly searched for the weak spots in the car camp, but unfortunately, there were spearmen filling in the gaps between every car and car.

Meng Gen accelerated again and rushed straight to a gap, getting closer and closer, Meng Gen could even see the astonishment on the faces of those Qi soldiers.

The gun heads intersected with each other, and Meng Gen suddenly slapped hard on both sides, and a small space that could accommodate a man and a horse appeared in front of Meng Gen.

"Hahaha, Qigou is dead!" Meng Gen swept hard, and the spearmen's throats were slit in an instant, opening a gap. Seeing this, the Yuan army behind rushed towards the gap like crazy.

Boom!
Before he had time to be happy, Meng Gen flew up, and fell heavily on the ground with the wailing of his beloved horse. The shield hand beside him was overjoyed, raised his big shield, and slammed the bottom of the shield on Meng Gen's neck .

With a click, Tumot's Taiji and Tumian Nayan Menggen fell silent.

The Yuan army rushing to the front saw what happened to Meng Gen, and they tightened their horses in horror and wanted to turn away, but the Yuan army behind did not see what happened to Meng Gen, and only thought that the brave Tumian Nayan had already Rushing into the army formation of the Qi army, he bumped headlong into those comrades who wanted to abduct them. The Yuan army in front looked desperate, and even the man and the horse ran into the iron chain between the two cars. Watching the iron chain forcefully squeezed into his chest...

Squeak!

After all, the two chariots were forced to retreat a few steps by a powerful impact. The iron rods supporting them were smashed into the ground, and the people in the chariot were also knocked out and fell to the ground. They were quickly dragged into the shield by the robe behind them. In the formation, it was moved to the rear.Finally, after the iron chain was continuously squeezed, the steel nail nailed to the car at one end collapsed and fell limply on the other car.

Fortunately, the speed of the Yuan army also stagnated, and it was completely unable to form an impact to attack the army formation.

"Brothers, hold on! Their second charge is coming!" Li Cang yelled, picked up the saber and rushed forward.

The second wave of Yuan army was about fifty steps away from the first wave of Yuan army. Seeing that the former army had broken through the Qi army's defense line, they decided not to charge. Yan drew out his bow and shouted behind him:

"Mangu evil!"

After finishing speaking, he hit the horse's head from the left and turned sideways to face the formation of the Qi army, and began to shoot arrows.

The army behind them followed suit, drawing their bows and arrows and shooting at the Qi army.

"Haha, that idiot Meng Gen created an opportunity for me!"

Minhan laughed loudly, and when he circled to the left and wanted to shoot again, he saw a flash of cold light, and a Yanyue knife chopped on his chest.
