In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 235 The chariot shows off its power
In Yunzhong County, on the north bank of the Yellow River, two cavalrymen, one east and one west, launched a desperate charge like two groups of angry bulls.

"Warriors, the blood debt must be repaid with blood. Kill all these Han and Mongolians to avenge the dead tribesmen!"

"Kill!"

"rush!"

Looking at the Han cavalry and carriages charging from a distance, the leaders all drew their swords and shouted loudly. The [-] cavalrymen also became red-eyed. They frantically urged their horses while raising their scimitars and howling loudly.

"kill!"

The five thousand dragoons here also aroused the desire to fight in their bodies, and each one turned into a bloodthirsty demon, but they always followed the chariot.

Two hundred chariots were divided into two rows, front and rear. Each of the huge chariot wheels, lubricated by the bearings, rotated rapidly together with the bronze axles, splashing the snow on the ground.

At such a high speed, the driver of the car still kept flying his whip to drive the two horses.

The two scythe hands under the umbrella cover were both full of energy. They were holding the scythes in their upper bodies. Although they were shaking from side to side, their lower bodies were in a lunge posture, firmly stabilizing their lower body.

Looking at the returning cavalrymen who were getting closer and closer, they were all nervous and unparalleledly excited. Many of them had big beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads in the freezing cold wind.

It’s no wonder they had such a reaction. The charioteers had all driven chariots against enemies before, but the sickle-hands were all older girls who were riding in sedan chairs for the first time.

Although they have killed people, they have never used this weird weapon to harvest any lives while standing on the chariot.

I usually cut the scarecrow during training.

So we are all looking forward to it. When the sharp and curved blade cuts through the bodies of war horses and people, will it be like the straw before, and the head will be broken off?

However, the Huihui cavalry who rushed at the front quickly rushed into the gaps between the chariots. Before countless cavalry could react, their heads suddenly separated from their bodies and fell to the ground, while their bodies But he still controls the horse to run forward.

Of course, some scythes held their scythes too low, causing the cavalry's bodies to hit the blades.

As a result, his body was broken into two pieces like tofu, his internal organs were spilled all over the floor, and bright red blood was splattered everywhere.

There were also those whose hands were sore that the sickle almost fell to the ground, leaving a long bloody gash on the horse's abdomen, which was equally bloody.

The cavalrymen obviously did not expect that there would be soldiers holding such long weapons on these high-speed carriages. The key was the sharp blade. After cutting off the heads of the cavalry in front, the cavalry behind them could not react at all, and the necks were the same. Hitting the blade was really like cutting wheat.

And those scythe hands don't need to swing the scythe at all, they just need to keep the scythe level and the blade forward, and the cavalry will keep bumping into them.

Almost none of the returning cavalrymen within ten meters of each chariot could continue to charge forward. Those who got closer only had their legs cut off by the blades inserted in the chariots, and those who were a little further away were all killed. Divided into pieces.

With just two hundred chariots, the [-] Huihui cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Although the Huihui cavalry also discovered the power of the chariots, it was too late to avoid them and could only continue to rush forward with the flow.

And the Hui Hui cavalry who finally broke out from the middle of the chariot bumped into the charging dragoons.

There were screams again for a while, and there were constant clicking sounds. All the spearmen were seen holding their spears levelly. The moment the spears stabbed the cavalry back, the huge inertia broke the spear shafts directly from the middle.

The moment the spearman received the force, he loosened his grip on the gun shaft and let the spear fall from his armpit to prevent the whole person from falling backwards and falling off the horse due to the huge inertial impact. After the spear was fired, the spearmen quickly drew out their sabers.The same is true for pikemen, and in order to protect their spears and prevent them from being broken when stabbing people, pikemen react faster. As soon as the tip of the spear penetrates the flesh, they decisively let go of the hand holding the spear, so many spears do not Instead of breaking, it went directly through the Huihui Cavalry's chest and then nailed it to the ground.

With the filtering of chariots and spearmen, the pressure on the sword-shielders and longbowmen behind them was undoubtedly much less, but the number of returning cavalry was after all several times greater.

So after the two sides crossed each other, only about 3000 of the 30 dragoons were left, more than [-] of them were killed, and more than [-] of the [-] chariots were overturned. There was no way, the speed was too fast. .

Of the 3000 cavalrymen, more than [-] were killed, half of them were killed by chariots, and the other half were killed by dragoons.

The remaining [-] people were all turned into bloody men. They were carried by war horses and continued to run forward. Then they had to meet [-] Mongolian cavalry, without any chance to breathe.

Although it was seven thousand against ten thousand, it was not much weaker in terms of numbers. However, after the baptism of chariots and dragoons, the charging formation of the returning cavalry had long been scattered and sparse, completely losing the momentum that the cavalry should have.

On the contrary, the [-] Mongolian cavalry were in a typical cone formation, and they were very dense.

Under such circumstances, the outcome of the collision between the two cavalry can be imagined. After 1000 cavalry rushed through the dense group of Mongolian cavalry, only a few [-] people were left on horseback.

However, only more than 3000 Mongolian cavalry fell.

The remaining 1000 or so cavalrymen only looked left and right, then back, with frightened and horrified expressions on their faces. They did not know what to do until someone reminded them, and then they all turned their horses' heads and fled towards the ice of the Yellow River in the south. .

At this time, the chariot rushing at the front had slowly stopped, followed closely by the remaining dragoons, and then the seven thousand Mongolian cavalry led by Hubbell.

While the Mongolian cavalry were all in shock, looking at the extremely bloody battlefield behind them and grieving for their dead companions, the dragoons were much calmer.

Because before the two sides even engaged in battle, they already knew that many of their companions would die in such an unreserved direct charge, and most of them themselves would die as well, so they were mentally prepared for it.

This kind of knowing that you may die, but still not flinching, still can't wipe out the overwhelming fighting spirit, only the true elites of hundreds of battles can do this.

"Fifth Princess, the other party has more than 1000 riders who have escaped. Do you want to pursue them?" The battalion commander wiped the blood on his face, patted his horse and came to Habeer and asked.

It was obviously the first time for Hubbell to experience such a bloody and cruel cavalry charge, and he has not yet come to his senses.

Although her father and some elders in the clan had told them since they were young about how terrifying it was when cavalry and cavalry charged each other, after all, they were just hearsay, far from what they could experience in person.

When I charged just now, I only focused on controlling my horse, lowering my head to dodge, and swung my sword again and again. I didn't feel anything at all. After calming down now, I only felt a chill on my back and my body couldn't stop shaking.

After all, Hubbell is considered experienced in many battles. She all looks like this, not to mention the other Mongolian women and teenagers. They are all carrying bloody scimitars, their teeth are cut from fighting, and their legs are also injured. It kept shaking, and I couldn't control the horse at all.

Seeing their reaction, the battalion commander had no choice but to speak out again: "Fifth Princess, why don't the army dismount and rest for a quarter of an hour?"

"Okay, let's get off the horse and rest for a while." Hubbell nodded subconsciously, then turned over and jumped off the horse. As a result, his legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground, simply lying straight on the snow.

The other Mongolians also dismounted and lay down on the ground. The older Mongolians kept comforting the young girls around them.

Obviously, for these young boys and girls who were on the battlefield for the first time, the impact of such a bloody and cruel battle was too great.
