Chapter 147 The Great War
"They're still coming." Cao Huachun looked nervously at the right wing. The soldiers over there were already ready. The tall shields had formed a huge shield wall, which was several feet high. The infantry below them were extremely strong. Block these shields with your body and resist the cavalry's attack.

Behind the shield wall, there are hundreds of soldiers holding spears. These spears are inserted in the gaps between the shields. Looking from the outside, I can see hundreds of sharp spear points suddenly appearing on the shield wall, like a Like Mount Spear.Behind these spearmen, thousands of infantrymen are holding their bows and arrows, pointing at the sky with a cold light, waiting for the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry. They will use the sharp arrows in their hands to teach these Mongolian soldiers a lesson.

It can be said that this is a city wall made up of weapons, but that's it. Cao Huachun still showed fear on his face. In any dynasty, infantry were at a disadvantage against cavalry, unless they were defending the city, or When returning to the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army at that time was not afraid of death, and once defeated the Huns.Can the soldiers of the Ming army be compared with the soldiers of the Great Qin?Obviously unlikely.Cao Huachun obviously knew this.That's why he felt fear.

"General Hou, if that thief Li Xin doesn't come, we might be in trouble." Cao Huachun glanced at Hou Shilu on one side, and asked nervously.

"He's already here." Hou Shilu said softly.

"Here we come." Cao Huachun glanced around, but found nothing unusual. He was very surprised. Just as he was about to ask, he saw shouts of killing in the distance. When Cao Huachun looked around, he saw countless chariots flying in the distance. come rushing.

"It's a chariot!" Cao Huachun's expression was extremely strange, and even Hou Shilu looked into the distance in surprise. Although he knew that Li Xin was a military prodigy, he definitely knew that if he didn't show up, the Ming army would collapse, but he didn't expect that Li Xin would collapse. The leader of the letter turned out to be a chariot.What is a chariot?Chariots only appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The last time in history to use large-scale chariots was Han Xin, the God of War.Since then, the chariot has disappeared from the history of warfare.What I didn't expect was that at this time, Li Xin would actually use a chariot.Can the chariot withstand the Mongolian cavalry?Not only Cao Huachun was surprised by this, but Hou Shilu was also curious.

"Can this be done?" Hou Shilu muttered softly.

"Khan, you see a group of people and horses have appeared, they are chariots!" Lin Danhan in the distance also saw the large array of chariots coming.On the other hand, Chotu Khan was a little nervous.

"It's from Perak Villa." Lin Danhan said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, Khan, our Khalkha cavalry will definitely be able to solve this chariot formation." Although Quetu Khan was a little nervous, he still said to Lin Danhan.

"Chariots have disappeared from the history of warfare for many years. Chariots have always been inherited in the Central Plains. Now they are using chariot formations, so we should not underestimate them." Lin Danhan looked serious, and he never underestimated the military tactics of the Central Plains.

Soon, nearly a thousand chariot formations and Battelle's cavalry finally collided. The chariots are famous for their weight, while the cavalry wins with speed and agility. The two collided with each other, just like two high-speed rotating machines colliding together .The person who hit it all at once was thrown off his feet.

However, compared to Li Xin's army, although the two collided, it was the chariot that protected the soldiers. The huge weapon chariot next to the chariot rotated rapidly, tearing the horses that had collided into pieces. The Mongolian soldiers on the horses were knocked into the air, fell into the battle formation, and were soon trampled to pieces by these horses.

"Rush up, kill up." On the chariot, He Kegang was different from other soldiers. He held the command flag in one hand and the sword in the other. In front of him, there was another deputy who was driving the chariot. Under their command, they rushed across the battlefield, but while they were there, they saw soldiers of the Ming army following closely behind, and some good archers shot their bows and arrows.Anyway, Li Xin's soldiers were all hiding in the chariots, and they couldn't get on the soldiers at all.

The cavalry and the chariot met on the battlefield. Thousands of years ago, the chariot was eliminated by the cavalry, not because it was not as powerful as the cavalry. In a large-scale limited battle, the chariot is a tool that can exert great power, just as it is now In this way, the Khalkha cavalry is certainly very brave, but the chariot commanded by He Kegang is even more extraordinary. The huge impact soon makes the chariot break through among the cavalry, and the huge chariot gear will take away the blood of two cavalry every time it rotates. life.

"Kill!" Seeing this, the Ming army who followed immediately showed horror in their eyes. They had also seen the power of Lin Danhan's cavalry before, but Lin Danhan always broke into the Central Plains with a small group of cavalry to harass him. But this time the 10,000+ army went south, which was obviously beyond the expectation of the Ming army. When these soldiers saw the large-scale charge of the Khalkha cavalry, New China was still extremely frightened. Disappeared without a trace.Their eyes were red, their faces were full of murderous intent, and the bows and arrows in their hands could take the life of a Mongolian soldier.

Battelle saw it clearly, but there was nothing he could do. Although the cavalry was very powerful, the opponent was a formation of chariots, which was enough to stop the cavalry for a while.

"This time I was fooled. The men and horses of Perak Mountain Villa are actually here, and they even set up a chariot formation. Now we may not be able to support the Chinese army in time." Battelle glanced at the left wing, but saw that the left wing of the Ming army was still fighting with Mongolia. The armies are fighting, and the war is still stalemate.

"It's all right now, Li Xin's soldiers and horses have appeared." Cao Huachun saw that Li Xin's army on the right had resisted Battelle's attack, a stone fell from his heart, and his face relaxed a lot.

"It's better to be careful." Hou Shilu saw that the left and right wings had resisted the attack of the Mongolian army. Not only did he not have any joy on his face, but his face became more dignified. He only heard the horsewhip in his hand pointing at the opposite side, and said: "The opposite side There are still tens of thousands of troops, let alone whether our infantry can block the enemy's attack, I am most worried about Li Xin."

"What happened to Li Xin?" Cao Huachun asked in surprise.

"Don't you find it strange?" Hou Shilu pointed to the chariot on the right wing and said, "Li Xin's chariot did not come out from behind the Mongolian cavalry, but from the other side. He didn't surrender to the Mongols, and he didn't rush out of the Mongol army as he said, he was using us." Hou Shilu couldn't hear the sorrow and joy in his words, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart at the moment .

It's just that Cao Huachun on one side has a gloomy expression, thinking that he is an eunuch himself. Although he is friendly with the Donglin party members, his eunuch essence has not changed. He usually plots against others, but today he never thought that he would be plotted against by Li Xin In the past, he didn't understand military affairs, so he didn't know the mystery, but now it's different. After Hou Shilu said this, how could he not understand that he was tricked by Li Xin.Even, the Mongolian army's attack on him was also related to Li Xin.Thinking of this, Cao Huachun gritted his teeth against Li Xin. If Li Xin wasn't here, otherwise, he would have lost his temper.

"It's also fortunate that Li Xin can still think of himself as a Han Chinese, and he can rush out at the most critical moment for our army. Otherwise, we can only flee in embarrassment at this moment." Hou Shilu said somewhat fortunately.

"Hmph, General Hou, you are too sincere. Do you think that Li Xin will support us because they are Han people? He is for himself in the end." Cao Huachun sneered: "Once our army is defeated, Li Xin's Then a little army can deal with Lin Dan Khan? Can he defeat all the Mongolian tribes and unify the grasslands? He is using our power to consume Lin Dan Khan and our power. In the end, Lin Dan Khan If we failed, we fled back to Mobei, and we lost our troops, so we won’t come to the grassland to trouble Li Xin again.” I have to say, it’s a trick after all, so Cao Huachun’s plan for Li Xin can still be seen in his heart.

"Lin Danhan will probably take action this time." Hou Shilu on the side didn't pay any attention to what Cao Huachun was thinking, and now the left and right wings of the army are in a stalemate.The Ming army still has [-] main forces, and there are tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers.If Lin Danhan wants to win this war, he must break through from the middle, otherwise, he can only withdraw his troops now.It's just that if we withdraw our troops in this way, the losses will be even greater.

"Huh!" There was a soft sound, but it was the north wind.

"It's snowing." Cao Huachun suddenly felt a chill on his face, and his complexion changed slightly.

"Lin Dan Khan is going to attack." Hou Shilu suddenly said loudly, his eyes brightened.Now that there are snowflakes in the sky, it means that heavy snow is coming, and the coming of heavy snow is not good for both sides in the war. Whether it is Lin Danhan or Hou Shilu, they must resolve the battle in the shortest possible time.

In fact, as Hou Shilu said, when the left and right wings of the army were blocked and could not break through the defense line in a short time and entered the Ming army's central army, Lin Danhan was in a tangle. In the confrontation, he still went all out, inserted into the Chinese army, and fought to the death with the Ming army, but when the snowflakes fell, Lin Danhan finally knew that he couldn't afford to wait at this time, and immediately ordered the entire army to press on.He wants to fight Hou Shilu to the death.

The north wind blew violently, and the snowflakes in the sky slowly fell. Lin Danhan finally drew out the treasured sword at his waist, and roared loudly. The tens of thousands of cavalry behind him finally rushed out, roaring down like a mountain torrent, and killed the central army of the Ming army. past.This army is Lin Danhan's headquarters, quite elite.Apparently, Lin Danhan felt that he had no way to retreat. Only by solving everything in front of him could he hope to become the master of the grassland.
