After all, Mount Saihan was not the target of the military attack this time. The first thing to do was to take down Dalu City and open up the passage from Shicheng to Beiming.With Yang Chendong's personality, once he sets a goal, he must achieve it, and everything else must give way to it.
Even though Yang Chendong said no need, Yang Er knew that it was pointless to fight, so he nodded and said, "Master, there is news from Hutou that he plans to attack the city tomorrow, do you have any other orders?"
"According to the plan, I have no special orders." Yang Chendong shook his head again.Before he set off, he had talked with Humang about what to do. He had been with him for so long, so he knew the best in his heart.
Humang really knew what Yang Chendong was thinking.If it weren't for the special geographical location of Talu City, with the [-] Tatar troops, it really wouldn't be possible to be oppressed by such a large army.All Yang Chendong wanted was a safe passage.
Even so, Dalu City must be captured, not only that, but it must not be destroyed too seriously, otherwise, how can an abandoned city house the army and the people?At this time of ice and snow, even if you want to rebuild the city, the conditions are not enough.
So after setting up the camp, Humang called him, Su He and other generals to express his intentions. "Siege the city tomorrow, and try to deal with the enemy outside the city as much as possible. Even if you enter the city, as long as you are not a rebel, don't kill people easily. We must try our best to maintain the goodness of Talu City. What we need is a A city that can house people and garrison troops. This is what the Sixth Young Master means, do you understand?"
Hearing that it was Yang Chendong's intention, the officers, who were not concerned at first, immediately became more serious, and then nodded one by one, expressing that they would definitely abide by the military orders, try not to destroy the city as much as possible, and would not kill people indiscriminately in the city.
In the camp, nearly [-] mercenaries had a good night's rest. When it dawned the next morning, there was smoke from the kitchen. From a distance, it was foggy, like a fairyland on earth.
On the top of the city of Dalu, Amugulang looked at everything in front of him and sighed, "What is supposed to come will come eventually, if that's the case, let me go out of the city to see how powerful they are."
"General...be careful." The lieutenant at the side, Shebie, wanted to persuade him to defend the city with him, but thinking that cavalry can only form effective combat power when they hit the open ground, he finally suppressed the words in his heart. . "Hehe, it's okay, people are always going to die. For a general, it's a blessing to die on the battlefield, isn't it?" He rode on his horse and left the city with five thousand cavalry.
Under the city of Dalu, the two sides have already set up their formations. From a distance, they all have neat military appearances and horses standing horizontally, like two huge monsters, standing in the sky and the earth.
The snow had stopped in the early morning.For this battle, the two sides sent soldiers to clean the road to ensure that the cavalry could give full play to their greatest advantage, and the cleared ground in the middle of the field will undoubtedly become the final place for the two sides to fight .
Humang, Su He and the others were also riding on the horses, looking at the five thousand Tatar cavalry who were also in uniform in military appearance, an aura of fear of death seemed to rush towards them.
"This Amu Gulang is also a master of army management. It's a pity that such a person should become an enemy." Humang said with emotion as he watched all this.
Su He on the side understood Humang's meaning, and also saw his opponent's desire to accept this good general. Because of this, he shook his head and said: "It's useless, Hutou, this Amu Gulang It is absolutely impossible to surrender because of the favor of Tuotuobuhuahan."
"Yes, if he doesn't surrender, he will have to die." Humang also knew that in the face of Su He's persuasion, the other party didn't even have any intention of talking to each other, which already explained everything.That being the case, the battle is over.Since we can't be friends, we can only be enemies.
At this time, Amu Gulang was also scanning the mercenaries directly opposite.When he saw that the opponent's army was also neat and orderly, and when he looked at it from a distance, a chilling air came to his face. From the looks of it, the cavalry of many grassland tribes can only do so much.
"Hmph! A good formation and a strong momentum don't mean you really have a strong combat power. Come on, everyone, get ready, today we will break the myth that the God of War is invincible, everyone obeys orders, and follow the general ——Rush!" Still holding a two-meter long knife in his hand, with a loud shout, Amugulang swung the sword forward, and the horse under his seat seemed to understand his words, and he was the first to leave the team and move forward rushed out.
The Tatar iron cavalry moved like thunder, and under the city of Dalu, they formed a fan and killed the mercenaries.
They seemed to know that the mercenaries had such sharp weapons as bursting muskets, and the five thousand Tatar iron cavalry charging forward were not too concentrated, but very scattered, keeping a distance of more than three meters between each cavalry, killing them directly. come.
The earth trembled like a mountain shaking like a tsunami, making people unable to regain their composure before.Seeing the enemy knights approaching in such a high spirit, Humang raised his right hand unhurriedly, and ordered loudly: "The six musket battalions of the independent regiment obey the order, and shoot after the opponent has rushed to 600 meters. Before that No one is allowed to act rashly without a military order, otherwise, the military law will punish it."
How to deal with the five thousand Tatar iron cavalry, a decision was made during the meeting last night, that is to use muskets to severely injure the opponent.
Chapter 773 Repaying Grace with Your Body
Although it is not difficult to deal with five thousand Tatar cavalry with an independent regiment and a Tatar cavalry regiment, Humang still made a decision to use muskets to defeat the enemy.He quoted Yang Chendong, "Since we can pay a smaller price, there is no need for the soldiers to suffer desperately."
For this decision, Su He, Xin Honghai and others naturally agreed, but they were not without worries. For example, the effective distance of Bayi Bar is about 800 meters, and the best shooting distance is before 200 meters to 600 meters. Then if the opponent is allowed to rush to this distance, will the army be in chaos without attacking?After all, the morale of one side is like a rainbow, and the other side wants to stand still, which is a test of people's hearts. If it is not done well, the morale of the army may collapse.
Regarding this worry, Humang just smiled and said: "You have to have confidence in the soldiers below us. Why is this not a test? If they can't even stand this little test, then they He is not worthy to be a member of the mercenary army, nor can he be considered an elite teacher."
Under Humang's insistence, he made the final decision.Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer now, no matter whether it was Su He, Xin Honghai and the others, there was a hint of worry on their faces.They even observed the reactions and emotions of the surrounding soldiers more than once, for fear that some people would be frightened by this momentum and turn around and run away.
The enemy is attacking with all his strength, and the murderous aura is rushing towards his face, but he has to wait in place. This is indeed a test.Especially when the enemy is getting closer and the neighing of the horses is heard more and more clearly, many soldiers waiting on the spot showed anxious expressions on their faces, and even some of the horses under their seats began to feel a little nervous. Nodding his nose anxiously, he walked around on the spot with his four hooves raised lightly.Perhaps these war horses are reminding the master, should we also attack?
Anxiety can be seen on everyone's face. Some soldiers with not very good psychological quality turned pale, but fortunately, there was not a single deserter.Although the iron cavalry on the opposite side was getting closer and the pressure was increasing, most of the people were still staring at the front, without even giving orders, and they didn't even pull out their sabers and held them in their hands.
Humang was also paying attention to the army's reaction all the time, and couldn't help smiling when he saw that although the soldiers' faces had changed, but the formation was still stable.It is said that the battlefield is the best place to test and train a fighter, and it seems that this is true.
Of course, Humang is still very measured in his work, and he knows the truth that he has never done enough.Seeing that the pressure on the soldiers had reached a peak, he finally issued the command, "Everyone obey the order and draw their swords."
As soon as he said this, the trumpeter next to him immediately blew a very shortened bugle sound.This is also a characteristic of mercenaries. In most cases, they replaced the traditional command flag with loud bugle sounds.Compared with the command flag that has to be stared at closely, the sound of the bugle can be heard more clearly, allowing people to make correct judgments and actions at the first time.
"Shua!" The sound of drawing swords came out in unison, and thousands of cavalry made the same movement in unison, which felt very imposing.Just this one action instantly raised up the soldiers who had been depressed.At this moment, the Tatar iron cavalry on the opposite side has reached 800 meters and is still flying forward.
Amu Gulang, who was rushing into the team, turned red and was a little excited.
Originally thought that he was inferior to others in this battle, and he would definitely lose.In fact, this time he came here with the mentality of seeing death as home, the difference is just to see how many opponents he can kill in the end.But Wan did not expect that the mercenaries would be so entrusted with their own strength, allowing them to lead the troops closer. Could it be that the opposing general didn't know that if the cavalry wanted to show their strength, they needed constant impact and speed. Rely on the advantage of speed to enhance the power of the sword?
Cursing the idiot of the enemy general in his heart, Amu Gulang, who was getting more and more excited, saw the hope of victory.He believed that as long as he was allowed to charge forward, once he entered the mercenary camp at high speed, at that time, even if the opponent had muskets, he would have nothing to do with it.Maybe he will really become the first grassland army to defeat the mercenaries.
Amu Gulang was overjoyed, and the cavalry who followed him were also excited and excited. They swung their horses with all their strength and increased their speed to the highest level, in order to rush into the unprepared mercenary barracks, and then severely injured them, winning the final victory. victory.
The speed was increased to the extreme, and the distance of 200 meters was just gone in one stroke. When the distance between the front troops of the two sides reached 600 meters, Humang's gaze was also concentrated, and he loudly issued the military order to shoot.
The sound of the bugle firing broke the tranquility of the battlefield again.The soldiers of the six independent regiments holding the Bayi Bar are riding on horses one by one, holding their guns, and have adjusted their breathing a long time ago. They even aimed at their right index fingers. Appeared.
blah blah blah...
There was a loud gunshot, and the flying golden bullets faced the Tatar iron cavalry that was approaching at high speed. The two sides collided together on their respective impact roads, attracting blossoming flowers and splashes of blood.
The bullets entered the human body, under the powerful force, some bullets would directly sink into the human body and destroy the tissue, and some simply rushed out again, pouring into the No.2 cavalryman behind him, causing continuous harm.
The sudden sound of gunfire made Amugulang's heart groan.But he didn't know much about the new type of continuous fire gun, so he thought that the mercenary on the opposite side was like Daming's Shenji Battalion, and the musket could only hit about a hundred meters away, and the opponent's shooting now was just to cause a burst of fire. This kind of momentum only brought huge pressure to his soldiers' psychology.
It was precisely because he didn't care about it in his heart that when he heard the gunshots, Amu Gulang immediately cheered and shouted to the cavalry around him: "Everyone, don't panic, their muskets can't hit that far, but it's just for scare...uh!"
Said that he hadn't completely finished speaking, or it was only halfway through, the scene in front of him had already shocked Amu Gulang. He unexpectedly found that many of his soldiers fell down immediately at this moment, and some people Although he didn't fall off the horse, there was already blood on his body, and it flowed more and more. In the end, he lay on the horse and didn't know whether he passed out due to excessive blood loss, or died of blood loss.
"fire!"
Seeing that the muskets made great achievements, and the wave of enemies who rushed to the front from afar suffered countless casualties, Humang was determined.At this time, if he leads the army to fight back, he already has the chance to win, but since he still has cannons in his hands, he must make good use of them. The Sixth Young Master said that it is extremely shameful to waste them.
The new military order was issued, and the loud bugle sounded again. The two 100mm sniper guns placed at the rear, which could hit thousands of meters away, were loaded with shells immediately, and flew out of the gun bore two seconds later, heading towards the morning. The land with the adjusted coordinates fell down.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two deafening, even eardrum-shattering sounds sounded, falling on the central area of the Tatar cavalry.Without the slightest precaution, the cavalrymen in that area were turned on their backs and turned dizzy.Especially in the place where the shells landed, a few unlucky cavalrymen came with no bones left, as if they suddenly disappeared between the sky and the earth.
If the gunshots were just an appetizer, which greatly blocked the forward momentum of the Tatar cavalry, then the sudden artillery fire that followed was like a hammer, hitting people's hearts heavily, causing everyone An unprecedented panic.
"Blow the charge horn, charge." Seeing that the opponent's formation is in chaos, even many cavalry are circling in place, not knowing where it will be safe, and when they are like headless chickens, Humang knows that it is time to charge When the opportunity came out, they immediately shouted loudly, and when the loud charge horn sounded in front of the vast land, countless mercenary cavalry charged forward, shouting, shouting, and releasing just now Unhappy in his heart, he waved his saber and rushed straight to the formation of the Tatar cavalry who had already been in disarray.
At the rear of the Tatar cavalry, as the attack direction of the two artillery pieces extended, two shells landed here, making the cavalry who walked last and thought they were the safest feel threatened.The two shots went down, causing at least nearly a hundred casualties.
When had the Tatar cavalry seen such a powerful weapon before?
The rear army is in chaos, and the central army is also in chaos. This bad sign began to spread to the audience, and they didn't say what bad consequences their chaos would cause, but only said that without the support of the central army's rear army, the front At this moment, Amu Gulang of the army seemed to be a lone army. Looking at the less than five hundred cavalry around him and the countless mercenary cavalry coming from the opposite peak, he seemed to be walking into a dead end. Like a fugitive, there is no way to go to heaven.
"General, what should we do?" Seeing that the Chinese army had lost contact with the former army, a soldier guarding Amu Gulang asked eagerly.
A resolute look appeared on Amu Gulang's face at this moment, he gritted his teeth, and made the last decision in his life, "Kill, kill with me, and fight them."
At this time, Amu Gulang made the decision to repay his kindness with his own body. With Tutuo Buhua Dahan's care for him before, he could not choose to surrender to the mercenaries like others.Even so, the only way to go is to fight to the death.
Chapter 774 Fighting to the Last Drop of Blood
"Kill!" After making a decision, Amu Gulang was the first to ride his horse and whip, and rushed towards the countless mercenaries, and beside him, the five hundred Tatar cavalry seemed to be infected , rushed forward with him with a loud roar.
