Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1688

I don’t even know that I can’t make an open fire when marching. It seems that the general ability of this Southern Ming army is just average. How could Temur know that the biggest battlefield in Hoek’s eyes is to suppress bandits. Naturally, you don’t have to be so careful when doing such things.

“Immediately order someone to report to the military seat by telegram and tell him that the enemy is likely to set up an ambush in lijiapo. In order to surprise them, our first and second divisions decided to take the initiative. I hope the military seat will arrange other divisions to encircle them immediately.” first division commander Temur said to the telegraph man who followed him.

After the telegraph operator finished recording the contents and went away, Temur said to Mr. Liu duo, “how about a competition?”

“Well, it depends on who plays harder and who kills more. Ha ha.” Liu duo smiled.

“OK, let’s go and get ready for battle. Put on your armor, take out the Seven Star crossbow and attack!” Temur galloped with his horse in the sound of laughter. For a time, smoke and dust rose with the wind like a tornado and rushed straight towards Li Jiapo.

On the official road, the yellow sand was rolled up all over the sky, so that it could not tell how many cavalry came from a distance. It could only be felt from the momentum of the war horse stepping on the ground that there were a lot of cavalry coming.

The so-called cavalry 10000, boundless, this kind of formation can be described without words.

General Hok, who was laying ambush in lijiapo, became excited when he heard the rumbling sound of war horses stepping on the ground. He knew that this was the main cavalry of the five-star army. When the cavalry arrived, it was equal to his opportunity to make great achievements.

He Ke, who was too excited, didn’t pay attention to the reaction of Nanming sergeants around him. This person is either from a military family. He usually focuses on farming and work, and has little training. Or they are strong men who are directly caught. Some people worked with hoes a while ago. Now they have issued swords and become soldiers. It is impossible to point out what good performance they can have.

This is not, when hearing the rumbling sound of war horses stepping on the ground, many people were already covered with cold sweat, and some were already scared, trembling and at a loss.

It is not too much to say that the first cavalry army in the world is a division of hundred battles. But he can be seen whenever there is a big battle to fight. With Yang Chendong, he fought in the north and south, laying a huge country. Many of the cavalry can be described as murderous. The alien cavalry and infantry who died in their hands don’t know how many times they have themselves. He Ke wants infantry to intercept these elite cavalry soldiers who even heard of the Warsaw first and want to flee. He is really an ignorant person who is fearless and doesn’t know how to write the word “death”.

In the final analysis, this can’t completely blame Hoek. After all, his biggest task before was to suppress bandits. When the five-star army of the Yang system became famous and constantly opened up territory, there were no enemies around Nanming. Even if they wanted to fight, they didn’t have this opportunity.

It’s just a general to suppress bandits. Where do you know the power of war horses? Even in the eyes of He Ke, it’s still what he knows, that is, as soon as the officers and soldiers come out and the number advantage is reflected, the horse bandits and mountain bandits will fall in the wind. The five-star army is also human. What should they do.

Their own strength is not strong, and underestimated the strength of the powerful pair, which has doomed the outcome of Heke, but someone doesn’t know it yet.

Ten miles away, the cavalry of the five-star army came quickly. Without hesitation, the leading troops plunged into Li Jiapo, and then saw the Nanming army not far away.

From a distance, there are a lot of people, which can even be described as a sea of people. Dozens of hundreds of anti horse stakes are placed in the middle of the official road, and many archers in the Southern Ming Dynasty are ready to shoot arrows. There’s a big picture. It’s a trap. Whoever gets in will die.

It was obviously an ambush, but in the eyes of Temur and Liu duo, these were like furnishings, which didn’t make them feel the slightest fear of the enemy. On the contrary, it also accelerated the forward speed of the war horse. The most avant-garde cavalry had taken out the iron hook and rushed straight towards the horse resistance pile in front of them.

“OK, we’re all in, we’re all in.” He Ke’s face was excited. He was afraid that if the other party saw the formation, he would immediately escape. In this case, his ambush would be useless. If he let the infantry fight with the cavalry in the plain, even if he had not seen the power of the cavalry, he knew that the situation would be bad for him.

The cavalry did enter the encirclement, but there was no trace of panic. Many iron hooks were thrown out and dragged the anti horse piles in front of them aside. I don’t know how many times the first cavalry army in the world has done such a thing. It is familiar that it is like the limbs of its own body, flexible and free.

“We can’t let them remove the stakes and shoot arrows.” the reaction of the cavalry of the five-star army was beyond Hoek’s expectation. He thought these things would damage the cavalry and even cause chaos, so he could take advantage of the situation to hide. But now, seeing that the stakes were removed one by one and the road was about to be emptied, the cavalry would be in front of a flat river. He was worried, whether it was within the range of the bow or arrow, even if he shouted loudly.

The recruits of the Nanming army, who have long been frightened by the prestige of the five-star cavalry, just habitually obey the general’s orders. They don’t care whether the bow and arrow will hit their opponent or not. They just know that releasing the bow and arrow can strengthen their courage and scare the enemy.

At that moment, countless bows and arrows flew out from the front, just because they were far away, they couldn’t reach the cavalry of the five-star army at all. Not to mention that some recruits have limited strength and instinctively have no archery, that is, they can’t shoot from a long distance and have no accuracy.

A burst of bows and arrows hit, powerlessly falling dozens of steps away from the front of the cavalry of the five-star army. At first, Temur and Liu were stunned. At first, they thought it was what the Nanming army was doing and what new attack method it was. After seeing that the bows and arrows did fall down and did not cause any damage, they realized that their feelings were the archery of the recruits of the Nanming army.

“Ha ha, I’m afraid these recruit dolls don’t have enough to eat.” Temur laughed up.

The commander of division Liu also smiled, but his mind was still very clear. First, Temur gave the order to attack and charge.

“Shit, Lao Liu, if you don’t pay attention, you’ll do it first. Brothers of the first division, rush.” seeing that the cavalry of the second division rushed out first, Temur was worried. He didn’t want to lose in Liu duo’s hands, so he waved his saber forward, and the cavalry of the first division also began to move wildly.

Another piece of yellow sand covered the sky, giving people a feeling of blocking out the sun. Dozens of arrows pointed at the front of the Nanming army array naturally appeared. He Ke’s roar came again, “put arrows, put arrows, shield hands in the first row, spearmen in the second row, defense, defense. The soldiers behind are ready to meet the enemy at any time!”

Perhaps because of excitement, or too anxious, orders were shouted out by He Ke. Then the Nanming army became a little confused.

Although they had a short training before going to the battlefield, it was just a passing scene. Everyone knows that if soldiers want to train, they have to keep up with food. They don’t have enough military spending and food, or all these are under the supervision of civilian officials who despise military generals. Recruits have never really trained at all.

Once a military general has a request and wants to train elite soldiers, the civil servants in charge of logistics will stand up and refuse on the grounds that this is not a battlefield and need not be so strict and serious. In the final analysis, we don’t want soldiers to waste more food because they consume too much physical strength for training.

This is the result of making martial arts with literature. In front of these scholars who boast of being superior to others, fighting and killing is only a thing that reckless men can do. Such people naturally have a life as cheap as a dog and are not worth a lot of investment.

Due to insufficient training, many recruits were confused on the battlefield. In particular, Hoek’s orders were issued one after another. Many people didn’t even figure out what was going on with the previous order, and the latter order came down. This has led to self confusion on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, every minute of delay may miss a good opportunity and lead to a big mistake. Facing the impact of the world’s first cavalry army with extremely strong combat power, the Nanming army even had a scene of self confusion. As the second Cavalry Division in the front, how could it give up such a good opportunity. At the same time, they held a seven star crossbow in their hands.

This kind of melee weapon that can be fired repeatedly is very powerful except that its range is not as good as that of a musket. It was with this thing that the first cavalry army in the world completed the campaigns of winning more with fewer and completed the seemingly impossible tasks.

Two hundred… One hundred and fifty… One hundred… Eighty… It’s getting closer and closer.

The bows and arrows of the Nanming army flew out again and fell in front of the warriors of the first army of the world cavalry. It caused some casualties, but it is very random when you look at it carefully. In addition to the cavalry’s skilled horse skills and various evasion and actions on the horse to avoid bows and arrows, their armor plays a great protective role. This kind of armour, which is much thicker than ordinary armour by three centimeters, can block most bows and arrows from entering the body. Even if it is shot, it is only a minor injury as long as it is not in a critical position.

Especially at about 60 steps, the damage of the bow and arrow seems to begin to increase. The tips of several arrows in front were hit by the arrow, so they had to step back and rest. But that’s all the damage. When the distance was only fifty steps and closer, the Seven Star crossbow became powerful.
