Chapter 733

Facing the harassment tactics of the Chinese army, the Ming army had no choice but to hold together and let the people outside carry out negative defense with shields, and then rolled forward all the way, ready to directly attack Xiangyang City.

However, the Chinese cavalry is like psoriasis that can't be thrown away. They stick to the periphery of the Ming cavalry. As long as the other party shows a little flaw, they will use bows and arrows to shoot in from a tricky angle and kill their people and horses. Although the Ming army has carried out full defense, people fall or get injured all the time.

At the critical juncture of the war between the two armies, falling off a horse and being injured means death.

When Ma Xianglin turned passivity into initiative and prepared to attack Xiangyang City, they were not afraid and passive, and still used this general tactic.

Ma Xianglin thought he would turn passivity into initiative. Who knows, after arriving at Xiangyang City, he found that the gate of Xiangyang City has been closed, the walls are full of archers, and the soldiers are ready.

Looking at Xiangyang City, which is high and deep, Ma Xianglin has no siege equipment in his hands. His head is big. He knows that there is no way to capture Xiangyang City anyway.

Their quick attack is to attack the enemy with less than a tentacle. The other party is on guard and is ready. Only two thousand cavalry want to win the other party's well prepared Xiangyang City. This is impossible.

Ma Xianglin and others scolded loudly. They didn't scold the Chinese army for being cunning. The two armies had to do everything when they fought. The other party used all means to kill them, which is also the practice on the battlefield.

They scolded Fei Yangguang, the governor of Xiangyang City, and others. They scolded the general army and general in the city. These people let the other party take the city of hundreds of thousands of people with 18 people. They let the other party take it down with 18 people.

When they launched a large-scale counter offensive, they were bleeding under Xiangyang City, and their casualties were extremely heavy. After they killed and injured so many people under Xiangyang City, they didn't even touch the edge of Xiangyang City.

The cavalry of Ma Xianglin's department are the elite of the Ming army and the main force, but they are still light cavalry. The role of light cavalry is to attack each other's weak links, not to rush into battle on the battlefield.

Don't think that light cavalry is low gear. In those days, Mongolian iron cavalry dominated by light cavalry. All their tactics are the peak of light cavalry tactics, and the soul of light cavalry lies in speed.

Ma Xianglin also understood this. Seeing that the opportunity was bad, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

But when he retreated, he knew that the Mongolian cavalry was powerful.

They are like psoriasis, staring at them. As long as they reveal any point, even a small flaw, their bows and arrows will look at the opportunity like poisonous snakes, shoot in and hit the target.

When the two sides fight, once they are shot, they basically fall off their horses and then die.

When Ma Xianglin came, there were more than 5000 people, but after a fierce battle for a long time, the number of people was getting smaller and smaller. He saw the power of the other party's tactics.

Ma Xianglin is very angry, but he has no choice. The other party is bullying you outside your range.

When Ma Xianglin commanded his cavalry to retreat, the other party didn't want to let them go easily. They immediately formed a queue and pursued them, just like wolves chasing antelopes.

This is called the enemy's advance and retreat, the enemy's retreat and pursuit, and the enemy's stay and fight, which annoyed the Ming army. However, when the Mongolian army pursued, Ma Xianglin thought the opportunity came and immediately ordered his cavalry to prepare for the war and prepare for the impact of the other party.

Ma Xianglin was beaten by the other side for a long time. They were always pressed and beaten by the other side. They were very oppressed. They were thinking that if it was a frontal battle, they would not lose so miserably. They would certainly give the other side a good look.

The other party hides like a mouse. They have no way, but if they dare to jump out and fight, let them know how powerful they are.

So Ma Xianglin immediately ordered his horses to line up to fight against the Chinese army.

This time, the Chinese cavalry did not dodge, but rushed directly, but they still did the same old trick. After a hundred steps, their bows and arrows were like raindrops and shot at the enemy, ruthless and accurate.

However, the Ming army fought with them for a long time, which can be regarded as understanding their combat methods. They protected the key places around them with shields and rushed forward bravely.

The Ming army believes that as long as they rush close and fight together, they can win.

The two sides are very close. Even with the strength of Mongolian cavalry, they can only shoot an arrow and are about to fight.

The two sides quickly approached fifty steps.

But when the two sides approached 50 steps, the cavalry of the Chinese army became a demon again. They took down grenades from their bodies and threw them one after another.

A large number of grenades, like raindrops, fell into the ranks of the cavalry of the Ming army, which blew them up and caused heavy casualties.

Just now, Mongolian soldiers used bows and arrows to attack. They can use shields to protect the key points, but when the other party threw so many grenades, they were unable to defend themselves. One of them was blown up, and the casualties were very heavy.

The fierce cavalry of the Ming army were in chaos. Even Ma Xianglin couldn't control the chaos. Originally, they stabbed each other like a huge front arrow, but the front arrow was directly blown up by the other party with a grenade. They had no impact ability and attack ability at all.

At this time, the Chinese cavalry, like tigers and wolves, rushed into the cavalry team of the Ming army, washed them out, and then slashed and killed in their array to harvest the enemy's head.

The confrontation between the two sides ended with the victory of the Chinese cavalry. The Chinese cavalry stormed the queue of the Ming cavalry, threw the other side into chaos, and then cut and kill them to reap the fruits of victory.

At this moment, even if the Ming soldiers were unwilling to admit it, they had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese cavalry was very strong, far above them. They were not the opponent of each other whether they were light cavalry fighting or charging.

The cavalry of the Chinese army who rushed into the Ming army array rushed left and right like wolves and tigers, like entering a deserted land.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Ma Xianglin immediately ordered his cavalry to get out of the battle and not get involved with each other.

But if you are bitten by Mongolian cavalry, do you want to retreat? The other party will bite them to expand the results and kill them.

At this point, Ma Xianglin's cavalry was really defeated. Before they set out, they were arrogant and thought they could win Xiangyang at one stroke. As a result, they asked the cavalry of the Chinese army to teach them how to be a man. Before they even touched the edge of Xiangyang City, they let the other party fall flowers and water.

Ma Xianglin led his cavalry and fled in confusion. After losing four or five hundred cavalry, he finally got out of the battle.

When they withdrew more than ten miles away, they found that there were less than 1000 people around them. What was even more frightening was their pioneer General Ma Xianglin, who rode a white horse, wore silver armor and white robe. He was very outstanding and natural. At the moment, he was very embarrassed. His white cloak had fallen off and his whole body was covered with dirt, What's worse is that he was hit by an arrow in his eyes. His face was covered with blood and looked very ferocious.

Ma Xianglin was seriously injured, but he still stood up and led the soldiers to retreat.

After they broke away from contact, the Chinese cavalry did not let them go, but after shooting the wounded and outdated cavalry, they began to chase after them.

They didn't rush up to kill the cavalry of the Ming army, but they didn't mean to let each other go. They followed each other closely and stuck to each other. They couldn't get rid of each other if they wanted to, and couldn't go if they wanted to.

This feeling is that when you are injured, a wolf always follows you, peeps into everything about you, and attacks at any time.

When you run away, he will follow. When you slow down, he will follow. When you show your flaws, he will rush up and bite your throat hard.

At this point, Ma Xianglin knew what it was like to have days outside the sky and people outside the people.

Before he set out, he was in high spirits and promised Zhu Xieyuan not to break the Xiangyang oath. Even if he couldn't win, he could give the other party a huge blow. Who knew he was so embarrassed.

At that time, his mother warned him that this was: "there are people outside people and there are days outside the world. You must not underestimate the enemy in war."

In fact, in today's World War I, Ma Xianglin can not be said to underestimate the enemy. All his decisions are in line with the standards. Even if there are many enemies, he makes such arrangements and responses. Only the strength of the Mongolian army exceeds their imagination, and the other party's various means of attack make them miserable and unable to respond.

This is what Liu Bu said, crushing each other with strength and tactics.

After defeating each other, the Chinese soldiers chased and bit each other all the way, which put great pressure on the cavalry of the Ming army. They were not opponents and suffered losses under each other's hands, so they could only retreat quickly.

It's actually very easy for the cavalry to escape. It's just that the cavalry are chasing him, which is a little embarrassing.

The war horses of the Chinese army are basically Mongolian horses. They are tall, strong and fast. They are far better than the Yunnan horses of the Ming army. Therefore, it is not easy for the other party to escape.

He couldn't win and escape. The other party chased them closely. Ma Xianglin was very upset, but at the moment he was also afraid. He knew that he couldn't take it lightly any more. He must take all the remaining hundreds of people back, or even if he escaped, all his subordinates died. It's estimated that the commander wouldn't let him go and cut him down.
