Chapter 1028 Counterattack (Part )

According to the usual style of the Mongols, when the two armies meet, the light cavalry will gallop back and forth, and at least shoot three to five rounds of arrows. If the enemy is strong, the harassment will be as many as dozens of rounds. Unless the enemy shows signs of wavering, the harassment will not stop, and no matter how strong the enemy is, it is difficult to persist under the endless rain of arrows.

Such tactics require extraordinary tenacity, patience and tactical accomplishment. These three skills are exactly what the Mongolians have practiced thousands of times since childhood, herding and hunting. This tactic has become the biggest reliance of the Mongolian army for its invincibility.

But the situation at this time was unusual and could not tolerate repeated harassment from the Mongols.

The main force of the Mongolian army was hiding, waiting for the Zhou army to rush south to rescue. The small army led by Tolui swept through many prefectures in the Central Plains in a short period of time, and was at a critical juncture where the troops were insufficient.

In the past two years, the Han people's morale has been very high. In the first few days, the soldiers and civilians in various places were frightened and confused, but after a while, they were not docile and obedient. There are some stubborn people in various places who will not stop rioting even if they are beaten with axes and swords. Since yesterday, the riots of Han people in various places have become more and more intense.

The Mongols were running around to suppress the rebellion, and were in a panic. They had already threatened to attack several military strongholds outside Guide Prefecture. The surrendered people fought hard, but their numbers were too small, and who could trust them now? If the new cavalry formed a response with the defenders, and the surrendered people turned against them, what would happen?

Therefore, the limited military force must be used to the greatest effect in the shortest possible time, just like killing a pack of wolves on the grassland. They must kill them fiercely and ruthlessly, and kill every group they encounter. Not only must they not give the wolves a chance to escape and breathe, or even to gather together, but they must also shock others with victory!
With this in mind, the Mongolian army's actions were extremely fierce. A large number of heavy cavalry were directly deployed at the forefront to find opportunities to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

Before the Western Expedition, only the Qiexue Army, which was directly under the Great Khan, had cavalry wearing iron armor and charging into battle. Most of the so-called heavy cavalry under the command of the Qianhu wore leather armor, and a small amount of lamellar armor was allocated to the elite. The leather armor was simply made of cowhide cut into a width of the palm, and tied tightly every three to four layers. It had a very high defense ability against arrows, but it was difficult to resist long spears and halberds.

The Mongolian army is much more powerful now than it was then. An ordinary thousand-householder can have hundreds of men wearing fine heavy armor from various sources. In addition to the Mongolians, these hundreds of men also include famous warriors from the Western Regions. Who can match their powerful attack?

The cavalry on the opposite side obviously wanted to give it a try, and they rushed forward at an accelerated speed!
Just give it a try, who doesn’t want to make a contribution?

When the enemy cavalry suddenly accelerated their charge, the few Western Region warriors at the front of the Mongolian army were not surprised but delighted, and shouted and rushed forward.

The warriors from the Western Regions who were added to the Mongolian army generally retained their original organization in order to make their command easier. For example, these warriors from the Western Regions were all from the Shali Kingdom in the Seven Rivers area, and they were a father and two sons.

The father was called King Shah, but he was not actually a king. His two sons were also very strong and brave because of his reputation for bravery. They once fought against the Mongolian army in Husiwoluduo City. Although they were defeated, their fierce performance was praised by Mongolian nobles, so they survived when tens of thousands of people were massacred.

Of course, just surviving is not enough. Now that you have become a member of the conquerors, you have to kill the enemies and win wealth. Seeing the enemy cavalry approaching, Sha Dalang, who is the most sturdy, swung his sword and chopped at their heads with a whistling sound.

As Sha Erlang moved, his burnt yellow hair and beard bulged, and his bloody mouth opened wide, looking like a human bear about to pounce on its prey. Even the mount under his crotch looked insignificant. In comparison, Yang Miaozhen was small in stature, and his arm circumference was probably less than 30% of Sha Dalang's.

Not only was their physiques vastly different, their strength was even more incomparable. Sha Dalang's heavy sword fell, hitting the tip of Yang Miaozhen's spear. The sword was too heavy, and the spear couldn't stop it at all, and it broke directly. The sword continued to swing almost without stopping, brushing against Yang Miaozhen's nose and falling, almost splitting his head in half.

This enemy moves quickly!

Sha Dalang didn't care about his regrets. He roared and exerted all his strength, ready to swing his sword backwards.

Before the invasion of the Mongols, many local forces and tribes were fighting each other in the Hezhong area of ​​the Western Regions. Sha Dalang's martial arts were honed through countless horse-riding battles. They were not fancy, but very effective. At this moment, the two horses crossed their stirrups and the two men crossed each other. He only needed to strike back, which was enough to cut the enemy in two at the waist.

At this moment, Yang Miaozhen turned her face and smiled slightly.

The knight was covered in dust, but his smile was very beautiful. He didn't look like the ferocious man he was in a fight. But why was he smiling?

The distance between the two cars was very close, and Sha Dalang could see it clearly, and suddenly this thought came to his mind.

Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and the scenery in front of him turned blood red. In the next moment, his vision became pitch black again.

It turned out that although Yang Miaozhen's spear was broken, she did not lose control. The spear shaft spun in circles between her outstretched fingers and palms without any stagnation. While the spear head used the force to return to the back, the tip of the spear tail turned to the front like a spirit snake.

There was no need to use any force or thrust. The speed of the two horses' collision naturally made the spear go as fast as lightning and penetrated into Sha Dalang's throat.

The moment the spear flew up, Sha Erlang already felt something was wrong. But the short distance between him and his brother seemed like an insurmountable chasm, and he could only watch with rage as his brother's sturdy body fell on his horse's back, causing the white tasseled spear to tremble.

Sha Erlang shouted angrily, and followed King Sha from the left and right. Sha Erlang raised his mace to hit, but Yang Miaozhen turned around and pulled out the spear, throwing it fiercely.

The spear passed in front of him in an arc, and the spear tassel exploded into a myriad of threads, blocking his vision. Sha Erlang subconsciously dodged to the side, and the strong wind had not yet subsided in his ears. The King of Sha beside him screamed in agony, having been pierced in the chest by the spear, and fell to the ground with his hands and feet stabbed.

In the blink of an eye, his father and brother were all dead, and Sha Erlang was furious. He raised the mace in his hand straight up, not caring about his own safety, and just wanted to use all his strength to beat the skinny knight in front of him into a meat pie.

But the knights behind Yang Miaozhen had also arrived. At a distance of only two meters, they were able to calmly draw their bows and release heavy arrows, instantly turning Sha Erlang into a hedgehog.

These knights were the most elite remnants of the Red Coat Army, and had fought in Shandong, northern Xinjiang, and the Central Plains. They had not left their horses in the southern mountains until they settled in Huaidong.

They had responded to local requests to suppress bandits, and often served as long-distance escorts for caravans, fighting against numerous bandits, and always maintained the status of professional soldiers, making them unique in the Song Dynasty. Because of their abundant financial resources and high level of training, their ability in small-scale cavalry conflicts was already perfect, and was no less powerful than that of the Mongolian army.

The knights from the Western Regions did not expect to encounter such a strong opponent and immediately suffered a great loss.

Yang Miaozhen pulled the spear back from King Sha's body and continued to charge without stopping.

Her pear blossom spear skills were taught by an alien, and she was said to be unrivaled in the world, which was true. When she saw the spear dancing, her body was like falling snow, and silver light shone everywhere; wherever she went, the enemy cavalry's blood gushed out like a fountain. Although there were only a dozen cavalrymen, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers could not stop them at all!
Such a brave charge is the best way to boost morale. The knights who caught up with the rear team had traveled a long distance and were already exhausted. At this time, they all fought bravely, roared forward, and suddenly collided with the Mongolian cavalry.

Zheng Rui, who was in the military fort in the distance, had been staring at the battlefield. He jumped up at this moment and said, "Those who can still move, follow me! Follow me!"

After a while, urgent drum sounds were heard from the direction of the city.

After Guo Alin led his troops out of the city, the generals who stayed behind were very cautious, but being cautious did not mean missing the opportunity. At this moment, the Mongolian army was attacked from the rear, but could not make an effective response, and its weakness was exposed. The garrison immediately opened the city and attacked!
