Chapter 25 Mongolian Mounted Shooting

After a thousand cavalry, they were already endless and out of sight. The impact of more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry gave people a visual shock. More than 40,000 horses were trampled on the ground, with amazing momentum, earth trembling, smoke and dust rolling, and people shouted and neighed.

"Hurry, let's form a formation!" In the Shanxi merchant guards, a Jurchen white-armored Bayala, wearing white-armored armor and a lightning rod helmet, shouting and urging Fan Ming and others.

There are also many capable people in the Shanxi merchant guards. They have fought with horse thieves more often on weekdays and have some experience in fighting cavalry. But this time, the ones who came to plunder themselves were not the dozens or hundreds of horse thieves on weekdays, but tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry! The Shanxi merchant guards only had more than 3,000 people.

There are more than 200 Jurchen soldiers in the guard team, which is the backbone of the guard team, especially the ten white-armored Bayala soldiers, who are even more elite among the elite.

"Lapsman, swordsman formed a formation!" More than a dozen trusted masters from Shanxi merchants and more than a dozen white-armored soldiers from Yuetuo shouted and commanded the guards to form a formation.

Wang Kudeng looked at the Mongolian cavalry that was coming like a tide, and his legs were trembling. It was not that he had contacted the Mongols. The Chahar Mongols had intercepted the Shanxi merchant transportation team many times before, but before, Lin Danhan was at most extorted, putting some blood on the Shanxi merchant transportation team and leaving a batch of supplies to transport the few remaining goods to Liaodong. But today it was different. The Chahar Mongols came with more than 10,000 cavalry at once. Judging from this posture, they wanted to eat their caravan without even leaving any bones.

Under the command of the trusted masters and white-armored soldiers, the Shanxi merchant guard formed a formation. At the front was the square shield hands, rows of large square shields were stood up to cover the Mongolian arrows. On the ground in front of the square shield, a row of snatched a row of snatch guns were inserted diagonally. Hundreds of snatch guns who had stabbed snatch guns half-squatted behind the snatch guns, holding the snatch guns with one hand. Behind were snatch soldiers, and the spears more than one meter long stretched out from the gap between the square shield and the square shield and pointed forward.

Behind the shield and spear, more than 200 Jurchen soldiers took down their bows and arrows, put their fingers on them, and pointed the arrow at the Mongolian cavalry that was rolling in. Seeing the Mongolian cavalry rushing within a hundred steps, more than 200 Jurchen soldiers let go of their fingers pulling the bowstring. Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring, more than 200 feather arrows flew into the sky in a parabola, shooting towards the Mongolian cavalry.

Arrows plunged into the Mongolian cavalry crowd, screams of people and neighing from war horses mixed together, and more than a dozen war horses rushing in front were shot into hedgehogs. The front hooves of the war horse were bent and the rear hooves were raised high, lifting the cavalry on the horse's back off the horse. The dozens of horses behind were also covered with arrows, and fell from the horse's back one after another.

Fifty or sixty people were lost, which had almost no effect on the Mongolian cavalry of tens of thousands. The cavalry behind rushed up like a whirlwind on the grassland. Even the fallen companion in front was trampled into meat paste, and tens of thousands of cavalry galloped away in the formation of the Shanxi Merchants Guard.

Two hundred Jurchen archers shot a light arrow again, and the rain of arrows fell into the crowd of Mongolian cavalry. Although Chahar Mongolia is the largest Mongolian tribe, like the Mongolians of this era, they do not have excellent armor. Most people only have an ordinary cotton coat, and only a few people have a cotton armor.

The Mongolian cavalry, which had almost no protection, was hit by a rain of arrows, and dozens of other people were shot off the horse.

Seeing that the Mongols had rushed into fifty steps, the Jurchens replaced the heavy arrows and attacked the Mongolian cavalry in a direct manner.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" Two hundred heavy arrows pulled a low and straight arc and crashed into the Mongolian crowd. The group of Mongolian cavalry rushing in the front were either shot through the throat by arrows or penetrated their entire bodies. Some people even had their horses shot to death. Did people shout? At least one hundred Mongolian cavalry were caught in the arrows and fell off their horses.

The Mongolians were about to rush to the Shanxi merchant guards, but they did not hit the sirens straight, but slowed down and suddenly deviated to both sides. While the troops were divided into two groups, the Mongolians opened their bows and shot rows of light arrows on the back of the horse.

The distance between the two sides is only twenty steps. At this distance, the cavalry's cavalry bow still has a considerable lethality against the infantry.

The light arrows shot by nearly 10,000 people were blocking the sky and the sun were pressed down like dark clouds. The sword player and square shield hands of the Shanxi Merchant Guard raised their shields to cover them. Many arrows drilled into the gap between the shield and the shield, pierced into the guard crowd, and only a series of screams were heard. Many Shanxi Merchant Guards were shot by arrows and fell heavily on the grassland.

However, the arrows shot by the Jurchen powerful archers with their step bows also left more than 100 Mongolian cavalry.

The Chahar Mongolian cavalry kept archery and harassing the two wings. In just a few breaths, each Mongolian cavalry shot at least three to four arrows, and had already shot hundreds of Shanxi merchant escort spearmen.

The Mongolians whistled, turned their horses to charge again.

The Shanxi Merchant Guard looked at the Mongolian cavalry that rushed over again, and saw that they seemed to be brave and brave when charging forward. They were unstoppable. At the last moment, they suddenly separated their wings and swept over the sides of the Shanxi Merchant Guard Guard's spear formation. While running, they shot out light arrows with their cavalry bows, one arrow after another. In just a few breaths, each Mongolian soldier shot three or four light arrows.

The casualties of the Shanxi merchant guards were getting worse and worse, but they still dared not relax. Once the formation was chaotic, the feint attack of the Mongolian cavalry would turn into a rushing formation.

After about a quarter of an hour of stalemate, the Mongolians changed their tactics again and divided 10,000 people into three batches. More than 3,000 people went up to harass the Shanxi merchant guards, and two other groups of more than 6,000 people rested and recovered their horsepower. After a while, they replaced the first batch of people and replaced the second batch of people to harass and shoot arrows, and then replaced the second batch of people and then replaced the third batch of people. This would keep the horses full of horsepower.

Li Laoer and his seven hundred cavalry remained unmoved. He was originally a role in playing soy sauce today. Only after the Mongols broke the formation would he bring people in and earn some advantage.

"The Mongolian tactics are to constantly harass and drag down the opponent. When the opponent has a flaw and launches an attack, you can break the formation in one sentence." Han Dashan said as he looked at the Mongolian cavalry who rushed up again and again to harass the Shanxi Merchants' Guards.

Li Laoer thought to himself: The Mongols were invincible in riding and shooting, and their tactics were used like fire and pure. So why did the Mongols lose so badly against the Jurchens? The lack of armor is one factor. Do the Jurchens have stronger skills to restrain cavalry? In fact, the Jurchens are more like heavy infantry riding horses than just cavalry.

In fact, the showdown between cavalry and infantry is extremely long, and the process is very boring. The competition is patience. The Mongols have repeatedly attacked each other, but they have never really rushed to the spear formation and have been harassing and waiting for an opportunity.

However, the Shanxi Merchant Guard, which had more than 3,000 people, was shot badly by the Mongols' bows. The Mongols rushed forward seventeen times, and each time they rushed to the front and shot arrows on both wings. After seventeen rounds, although the Shanxi Merchant Guard had armor on their bodies, they had lost more than a thousand people.
