Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 342 Reinforcement (the serial number of the previous chapter was wrong, it should be 340, this chapter is 341)

The Mongolian cavalry, which was invincible in the world at that time, was famous for its well-trained, strict discipline and flexible tactics.Their cavalry units often consist of a column of heavy cavalry responsible for shock and two columns of mobile and flexible cavalry archers.

The two cooperated with each other, flexibly adopted different tactics according to the battlefield situation, and their combat effectiveness was once the best in the world.

The Ming Dynasty was able to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and drive the Mongols back to the grassland, so the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was naturally no less than that of the opponent.Especially the most elite Habayashi Guard, who has already mastered various tactics of Mongolian cavalry.

Now they are adopting the 'Mangudao' method of warfare that the Mongolian cavalry archers are extremely good at.That is to say, the horse archer shoots arrows at the enemy behind while fleeing.

The essence of this tactic lies in attacking the enemy from a long distance; attacking the enemy continuously; not giving the enemy a chance to fight back!

Under this kind of attack, no matter how strong the enemy's spirit is and how strong the armor is, it is only a matter of time before they completely collapse.

So the Ming army also called this tactic 'flying a kite'.

The Maitreya believers in front of them are basically infantry, and there are only a few dozen cavalry around the leader, which can be ignored.Their two legs can't catch up with the four-legged cavalry at all, no matter how brave they are, they can only be used as targets.

So under the leadership of the arrogant Jin Wang and the sullen King Yan, the Habayashi cavalry divided into two teams, and when the Maitreya army was about to rush forward, they passed by their left and right wings.

After drawing an arrow away, the Habayashi soldiers raised their bows and arrows one after another, but instead of aiming directly at the enemy soldiers, they shot their arrows toward the sky.The essence of this kind of shooting is the volley, the rain of arrows raining down from the sky like a hailstorm, which is very effective against the enemy troops gathered together.

But killing is not the main purpose, the purpose is to cause confusion to the enemy.

After three rounds of throwing, the Maitreya believers were in a mess like headless chickens.

King Qin, who couldn't hold back for a long time, immediately took advantage of the situation and charged.

How can the Maitreya Cult army, which is in a mess, resist these heavy cavalry men wielding maces?

Taking medicine is useless even if you are not afraid of death...

Under the mace of a hundred heavy cavalry, there is no single enemy; rushing from left to right, it is like entering the land of no one!
At this time, under the cover of smoke and dust, the cavalry archers on both wings outflanked the enemy's flanks and behind them, forming an encirclement together with the heavy cavalry.

"Four hundred surrounded three thousand..." Mistress Maitreya looked dumbfounded. He never expected that such a small number of Ming troops could surround his own troops.

This combat power is too outrageous, right?

As everyone knows, the Yubayashi cavalry is the strongest elite of the Ming army, the strongest in the world, and under the leadership of the three generals, under the leadership of His Highness, they are naturally even more powerful, bursting out with twelve points of combat effectiveness.

Facing the rabble of Maitreya believers, it is like a pack of wolves surrounding a flock of sheep, so what about the disparity in numbers?It was still a one-sided massacre.

But Maitreya believers are much better than sheep, they are not afraid of death!No matter how much the loss was, they still charged forward screaming.Being shot to the ground and continuing to crawl forward...

However, when they made great sacrifices and finally rushed to the Ming army, a whistle sounded, and Habayashi turned his horse's head again, opened the distance, and greeted them with bows and arrows.

After flying three rounds of kites in this way, more than half of the Maitreya believers, who were killed or injured, finally collapsed.Many believers who regained their senses began to drop their weapons and run away.

With such a small amount of troops, Habayashi Guard has no ability to stop them, nor is he interested in stopping them, and only concentrates on dealing with the stubborn resisters.

Seeing this, the leader of Maitreya knew that the general situation was over, and the cavalry troops had not returned to help for a long time.

He had no intention of sacrificing himself for martyrdom.In fact, the Daoist associations that have survived to the present and have not been wiped out all regard "keep the green hills there, don't worry about no firewood" as the golden rule.

"Let's go!" He shouted, and surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry soldiers, he ran towards Shanxi.There is the lair of Maitreya Sect.

"Want to leave? Did the King agree?" Zhu Di had already set his sights on him, and sneered when he saw this, he thrust the sharpened Daguan knife into the ground, and took the hard bow offered by his subordinates.

The bow was like a full moon, and the carved feather arrow aimed at the back of the heart of the Maitreya leader.

Then His Royal Highness King Yan shot it without hesitation!
At the sound of the bowstring, Hierarch Maitreya was hit by an arrow in the back and fell off the horse...

"The leader is dead!"

"The leader is dead!" This scene caused great shock to the Maitreya believers.Even the leader who claimed to be Maitreya, invulnerable, and powerful, was shot to death. How could they possibly defeat the Ming army?

So they dropped their weapons and fled...

The Habayashi guards stopped chasing and killing, and hurriedly searched for the injured comrade who fell off the horse, and prepared to retreat.

The enemy cavalry might come back at any time. They have already shot out their arrows and their horses are almost at their limit. If there is another fight, the casualties will rise in a straight line.

When all the hundreds of households reported that the search and rescue was over, King Jin shouted, "Let's go!"

Yubayashi immediately rode his horse south, heading towards the Qishui River ten miles away.

Sure enough, after walking half the distance, they saw smoke and dust rising from the east, and a large group of cavalry came straight.

"They're back, let's go!" Zhu frowned and said, "They've been going back and forth for a long time, and the horses are at the end of their strength. We just move forward and drag them to death!"

However, before they had gone far, the scouts who opened the way reported in panic: "From the direction of the Qishui River, a large group of cavalry is coming across the river!"

"How many?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"Say less than three or four thousand..." the scout said with difficulty.

Habayashi's atmosphere froze immediately.

The brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling unbelievable.

"Where are there so many cavalry?" The third child, who had always been calm, finally showed a frustrated expression. "If we don't play to death, we are not finished, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Di said in a low voice, "You lead your second brother and fifth brother to the west, and it will be safe to get into Taihang Mountain."

"What about you?" asked the youngest.

"I'll bring people to stop them." Zhu Di said lightly, as if he was talking about a very common thing.

"That won't work, I will never give you this chance." The stronger youngest immediately quit. "You take the brothers, I hold them back!"

"Everyone, shut up!" The second child also said angrily, "I, I'm the elder brother, I'll stay!"

"I'm the most useless, so let me stay..." Even the fifth child, who had never had a sense of existence, also spoke.

"Shut up, it's not for you to talk!" But the elders shouted in unison.

Just when the brothers were arguing about who to cut off, the second team of scouts came galloping again, this time with beaming faces, and shouted loudly:
"Your Highness, it was a false alarm, reinforcements have arrived!"

"Where are the reinforcements coming from?" The brothers were relieved at first, and then became nervous again.After several years of tempering by Boss Zhu, they already have the most basic vigilance, knowing that the current situation is complicated, and they can't trust anyone.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is personally here!" The scout replied hastily.

"What, the sixth child is here?" The brothers were overjoyed immediately: "Is that really the case?"

"It's absolutely true!" The scout pointed to the front and said, "Here, Your Highness is coming!"
