Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1111
In the battles before and after Pyongyang City, the Ming army thought they knew the style and tactics of the Japanese soldiers and horses, but when they arrived at the Byejo Hall, they found that their previous understanding was wrong.

The combat power of the Japanese pirate soldiers was not as bad as Liao Town had thought, and although there were a large number of infantry, there was also a sufficient number of cavalry. For example, the team that came to pursue them had almost [-] cavalry.

Zu Chengxun led his team to defeat the Japanese pirates in the front line, and when he continued to pursue, he was caught by the enemy's infantry array, and finally escaped, and saw the Japanese pirate cavalry that was pursuing.

The number of enemies is far more than myself, although the brigade in this formation has also started to move forward, but it can't quench the thirst of the near, so it is right to run first.

The horses after the charge couldn’t run fast, but the Japanese cavalry was a fresh force. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but they were really close. But Zu Chengxun and his gang were not very afraid. They all drew their bows and arrows on their horses, turned around and shot arrows, and they were close. The pirate cavalry were all shot and fell off their horses.

The most elite cavalry in Ming Dynasty are trained according to the Mongolian style on the grassland, especially pay attention to riding and shooting. The skill of shooting a bow on horseback is often the standard for evaluating whether a person is elite, but the Japanese pirates have obvious movements on horseback I was a little nervous. The Japanese pirates lacked horses. Such a large number of horses were probably obtained in North Korea. They are not safe to ride on horses, let alone riding and shooting.

Anyone who got close was shot and killed, and the distance between the two sides gradually opened up, but the Japanese pirate cavalry refused to give up like this, and followed outside the range.

Zu Chengxun's team was running, but he saw the big team in front of him. Zu Chengxun gave a sharp whistle, and regardless of whether the horse would fall, he turned the horse and ran to the other side Go, the rest of the people followed suit, not everyone has such a good mount as Zu Chengxun, such a good riding skill, the horses are tired and running in the mud, and more than a dozen horses lost directly If you lose your balance and fall to the ground, all the people on the horse can get up and continue to run
The Japanese pirate cavalry took advantage of this opportunity to close the distance, and the scattered Zu Chengxun department running in front suddenly deflected, revealing the hidden brigade.

Such a large-scale cavalry cavalry may not be unaware, but they focused on the deserters in front, thinking that they could catch up, but when they arrived, they found it was too late.

"Turn around, turn around!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates gave orders loudly, gesticulating with the spear in his hand, but even if the large group of people ran slowly, they could not just turn around. , turned around and ran, but it was difficult.

Colliding with each other, it was crowded, and it was chaotic, but the distance to the Ming army brigade was not short after all, some turned back, and some scattered. Being pulled close enough, no one can run fast on such muddy ground, and it may be difficult to catch up.

But the Ming army has bows and arrows, and the distance right now is already within range. The soldiers beside Li Rusong drew out the arrows from their quiver and shot them forward. , They all drew bows and set arrows, and shot out from their backs.

Arrows fell like rain, and the Japanese pirate cavalry in the rear team screamed and fell off their horses. A group of people fell down, and the Japanese pirate cavalry who ran in front ran faster. In terms of perspective, it also opens up enough space.

The battlefield chosen by the brigade of cavalry led by Li Rusong was actually on the right side of the Japanese army's formation. During the pursuit, he did not urge his men to charge or go faster, but he always ordered the brigade to move forward. Chasing the Japanese pirate cavalry in front is not important, driving the fleeing cavalry to disperse the Japanese pirate's own infantry formation, and then completely smashing the opponent's entire large formation, and then chasing and hacking among the chaotic army is the key. , which is the only chance of winning.

The Japanese pirate cavalry was not far away from their own team. Orders were transmitted from somewhere to the battlefield. In front of the Japanese pirate ashigaru spear array, there were warriors waving flags there rapidly.

Although it looks like an army of Japanese pirates all over the mountains and plains, there is a large space gap between every few thousand people, or every thousand or hundreds of people. Seeing the order of this flag, the Japanese pirate cavalry have long been prepared , is also to adjust the forward direction of the mount, and return to the rear row from the gap to prepare.

"Forward, forward, outflank Ming Kou!!"

The order was issued again, and the pirate warriors of each team shouted one after another, leading the ashigaru forward. In the paddy field terrain near the Bizhi Pavilion, there are many places where it is soft mud when you step on it. The pawns are more flexible, and the Japanese pirates of each team are forced to come up with a semicircle.

"The Japanese pirates are not good. We can only attack one team. If a team of Japanese pirates disperses, they will be trapped by other teams. When the time comes, our cavalry will not run fast, and there must be disaster!!"

For the generals of the Li family, although such a big battle situation is stressful, it is not enough to make them lose their composure. Li Rusong is still in the same state immediately, commenting on the previous situation, and the lieutenant general Guerrilla and others are also in a similar state , Li Sanshi asked and said:
"General, there is still a short run, do you want to turn back!!"

Li Rusong shook his head, raised his voice slightly and said:
"You can't turn around in this muddy place. Once you turn around, it will be a dead end. Give me the general order. At two hundred paces, use a swarm of bees to shoot the enemy into chaos. Let's charge again!"

Under the order, the messengers and banners all follow the action. These four thousand cavalry are the elite veterans of the Li family, and they all execute the military orders quickly and accurately. A group of people accelerated the speed of their mounts and rushed forward.

The distance between them was widened, and the cavalry who rushed out quickly dismounted after running for a certain distance. Several people hurriedly unloaded the box from the pack horse. There was a wooden tripod under the box. With great force, several people plunged the tripod into the mud, and pointed the open end of the box at the coming Japanese pirate teams.

At the end of the opening, rows of arrows can be seen overlapping, which looks like an ordnance container containing bows and arrows, but at the other end, honeycomb holes are also opened, and the lead wires are pulled out and twisted into strands.

After finishing one place, they yelled loudly. Although the brigade behind was full of horses, they were still approaching. More than a hundred boxes were placed everywhere. During the process, some people used fire to break the fire. The media lit the pine torches that had been prepared long ago, and everyone got on their horses.

Someone yelled, and the cavalry of the Ming army used torches to light the fuses, and then returned to their own team. The Japanese infantry brigade over there was getting closer and closer.

The sound of "Sisi" could not be concealed on this noisy battlefield. As soon as the sound disappeared, the fuse was about to burn out, and those wooden boxes suddenly began to tremble, and arrows flew out rapidly with smoke, and there was a sharp whistling sound. Immediately resounded through the battlefield.

The arrows are propelled by gunpowder, and they are clustered and launched in a wooden box, which is called a swarm. Because of the thrust of gunpowder, the flying distance and power of the arrows are farther and greater than that of bows and arrows. There is no aim. However, on such a battlefield, there are large groups of enemy troops everywhere, as long as they aim in the general direction, there will inevitably be large-scale destruction.

The Japanese pirates who were advancing did not expect such a weapon at all. When the arrows screamed and burst out, many people even stayed there.

The cloth clothes, leather armor, and bamboo armor on them could not stop the swarm of rockets. The pawns running in the front rows all fell down, and some lucky ones were not shot, and they immediately turned around screaming. They were all terrified by such a scene.

A swarm of rockets shoots for a short period of time. After being blocked by the companions in the front row, the people behind can actually dodge by bowing. All the people are running.

This chaos lasted for a short time, because the front team broke up, and the cavalry that had been organized behind acted as a supervisory team. At a further distance, there was no chaotic formation, and these teams also had the nature of a supervisory team.

The disintegration soon stopped, and the fleeing soldiers turned back again. Li Rusong had already drawn out his long knife, and he could see the Japanese pirates being swarmed by a volley this time. In the chaos, but looking at the larger whole, this large formation that scattered and responded to each other was still maintained. Li Rusong took a deep breath, kicked the horse's belly fiercely with his boots, and swung his knife forward.

This is the order. From the front to the back of the cavalry of the Ming army, everyone shouted and roared, and everyone drove their mounts forward. The cavalry is about to charge! !

The Japanese soldiers hadn't recovered from the rockets flying and howling on the battlefield just now. Suddenly the ground began to tremble violently. The cavalry brigade of the Ming army rushed forward like a tidal wave. Not to mention the ashigaru, some warriors didn't After reacting, he sat down on the muddy ground.

The rocket just now made them panic, but now the cavalry charged, but they didn't know how to deal with it. Many people just stayed there, and there was no way to escape. The infantry couldn't outrun the cavalry in this state. Do, being forced into this desperate situation, some people are also crazy, yelling and waving their weapons to come forward.

Many people in the cavalry of the Ming army raised their bows and set up arrows, and another rain of arrows poured down, drowning those lunatics who dared to charge forward, and then swung their knives forward. Being trampled under the horse's hoof, it turned into mud, and the entire front of the Japanese pirates was about to collapse
