- The guest was an unknown person. Although everyone in the mission heard his exclamation, they didn't pay much attention to it. Most of them were still looking around, looking left and right. A few musketeers took off the muskets on their backs and prepared to reload ammunition——
At this time, Mu Jingyan also shouted: "There seem to be more than thirty cavalry!" Although Mu Jingyan could not tell whether the horses' hoofbeats were from the Jurchens' cavalry in Jianzhou, he could guess from the jumble of hoofbeats that they were riding on them. Approximate number of people.
Zhang Yuan immediately shouted: "Return to Yaowang Temple quickly!"
Yu Yan and other Korean envoys hurriedly retreated to Yaowang Temple. Ruan Dacheng was also a little panicked at this time. He had never experienced such a scene, so he quickly dismounted and followed Fan Tongshi and others to retreat to the ruined temple.
Zhang Yuan turned around and looked around, glancing at a musketeer loading gunpowder. Because of the strong wind in the mountains, the gunpowder was blown away by the wind as soon as it was poured into the fire door. Moreover, the rain had not completely stopped, and the wind was mixed with tiny raindrops. Fire rope can easily get wet from rain.
"Leave fifty musketeers holding Rumi guns to use the carriages to cover the wind and rain to load ammunition. When the enemy's cavalry approaches a hundred paces, they will light the fire and let off the cannons. The remaining musketeers holding bird cannons will retreat to the temple gate and prepare to fire off the cannons - don't do that. Panic, don’t panic.”
Zhang Yuan did not follow Ruan Dacheng back to Yaowang Temple. Instead, he jumped off his horse and commanded loudly. The team of musketeers sent by Chen Qianhu of Lianshan Pass were equipped with two kinds of muskets. One was an ordinary matchlock gun. The effective range was One hundred steps, that is, about 120 meters. The other type is the Rumi gun. The Rumi gun has a slightly longer range than ordinary bird guns and the ammunition is slightly more powerful. Zhang Yuan asked these gunmen holding Rumi guns to As a vanguard, this musketry team was not equipped with the trumpets, flags and trumpets necessary for a formal march, so it could only give orders verbally.
As the sound of hoofbeats approached, Mu Jingyan said anxiously: "Sir, the enemy's cavalry is only two miles away from here and will be there in a moment. Your Excellency, please go back to the temple to hide."
Zhen Zidan also asked Zhang Yuan to quickly return to Yaowang Temple, where he can take command. His sixty Jinyi Guardsmen with swords have already drawn their swords out of their sheaths and are ready to face the enemy.
Zhang Rushen, the merchant of Eunuch Lu, only cared about his thirty carts of goods and ordered the cart driver and his assistant to drive the cart back to the open space in front of the temple——
Zhang Yuan shouted: "These carriages are not allowed to move without permission, just stop them here to stop the cavalry attack of the slaves."
Zhang Rushen scratched his head and said: "Sir Zhang, I have lost my goods and silver. I can't show my respect to Mr. Lu.
"" He winked at the rickshaw drivers and asked them to drive away quickly.
The sound of horse hooves on the back mountain was getting closer and closer, and they would soon turn around the col and gallop towards him, but the eunuch was still here. Zhang Yuan shouted angrily: "Get out of here!" The tall and tall Ma Kuoqi stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Rushen by the collar and threw him aside.
Zhang Rushen had never seen Zhang Yuan so angry and was frightened. Two men helped him up from the mud and retreated to Yaowang Temple with the other drivers and men of the caravan. At this time, they wanted to unload the horses from the carriage. It was too late, a group of cavalry had already roared out of the back hill and rushed towards this side.
The sky is clean after the rain, and the red sun has just risen over Phoenix Mountain in the east. This group of cavalry in armor is extremely distinctive. It is exactly the armor style of the Nurhachi Eight Banners Soldiers. Mu Jingyan estimated accurately that this group of cavalry Thirty-two riders were not charging very fast because the road was muddy after the rain. They could be seen on horseback with their bows and arrows drawn -
Fifty musketeers armed with Rumi muskets and sixty imperial guards were guarding the northern foot of Fenghuang Mountain, which was shielded by dozens of carriages. Zhang Yuan stood on the side of the carriage farther back. The horses of this carriage had been untied. After taking off the yoke of the chariot, he was protected by Ma Kuoqi, Sheba, Hong Ji, Hong Xin and Wang Zongyue. Ma Kuoqi held a long spear with a white pole, Sheba held a narrow-edged sword three feet long, Hong Ji, The two Shaolin monks Hong Xin and Wang Zongyue each held a spear in their hands. In addition to Tai Chi, Wang Zongyue was especially good at Tai Chi spear.
Mu Jingyan leaned a big gun against the edge of the carriage, held a hemp-backed bow in his hand, and placed a pot of arrows on the shaft of the carriage. When he set off from the capital, he was not wearing a bow and arrows. To borrow from a household, Ke Guang first stood beside Mu Jingyan holding a long-handled sword.
Zhang Yuan also has a knife in his hand, which is Jinyiwei's Xiuchundao. At this time, the right palm holding the knife is full of sweat. This is his first time against Nurhachi's Eight Banners soldiers. He is not nervous. I am afraid that it is fake.
The enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, but their speed gradually slowed down. They must have seen the intercepted carriage here. When they were about fifty feet away from here, the leading cavalry reined in their horses and stopped. That position was where Rumi's gun was effective. Out of range.
Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "Don't be in a hurry to fire the musket. Wait until they are approaching a hundred steps away before igniting it." Although the maximum range of the musket is 120 meters, these Jurchen cavalry are all armored soldiers, and the range is 60 meters. The maximum power of the musket can only be exerted at a distance of 80 meters.
As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly heard the Jurchen armored soldiers fifty feet away shouting in unison, and one by one they urged their mounts to rush towards this side.Then there was the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air. These Jianzhou cavalry took the lead in attacking with bows and arrows outside the range of muskets. The horses intercepted by Zhang Yuan made a "swish" sound. It was Jiannu's eagle. The feather arrows hit the walls of the carriage, and most of the arrows hit the horses driving the carriage. The horses were hurt and neighing, and refused to be quiet. They dragged the carriage and rushed around. Many of the musketeers and Jin Yiwei who were originally lurking behind the carriage were Immediately exposed——
Zhang Yuan shouted: "Kill the horse!"
Ke Guang first wielded a long-handled sword and chopped to death an injured horse that was dragging the carriage around. Zhen Zidan and other Jinyi guards also quickly killed the struggling injured horse and stabilized the front. However, in such a short period of time, ten people died. More than a dozen musketeers and imperial guards were killed and wounded by the Jiannu cavalry. The lethality of the Jiannu cavalry's bows and arrows was truly terrifying!
A musketeer saw his comrade fell to the ground with an arrow. He was so frightened that he lit the match without waiting for Zhang Yuan's order. With a "bang" sound, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the musket was fired without aiming at all. I don't know where the gun went. Hearing the sound of the gunshot, the other musketeers also lit fires and fired their guns. For a while, there was a constant "bang bang" sound, and the rising smoke made Zhang Yuan unable to see the incoming enemy. It was not known whether this row of Lumi muskets had any damage to the Jiannu cavalry. Zhang Yuan shouted: "The musketeers in the front team reload their ammunition immediately, and the rear team is ready to shoot."
The fifty bird gunmen near the temple gate were already in full formation. They were condescending and could see more clearly. They saw that the thirty-two Jurchen armored soldiers were rushing forward with all their strength under the fire of Rumi's gun. Three of the horsemen were hit and fell over. On the ground, the rest quickly approached the carriage defense line of the Ming mission.
There was another burst of intensive musketry, and the fifty gunmen in front of the temple opened fire. It was unclear whether they hit the riders or the horses. This row of gunshot ammunition was shot out, and four more of Jiannu's horsemen fell to the ground, but Seven more people on Zhang Yuan's side and among the Jinyi guards and musketeers in front of the temple were shot by Jiannu's sharp arrows. Even Ma Kuoqi received an arrow, but fortunately it was only on the shoulder and no vital parts were hurt. Jiannu The lethality of bows and arrows is far greater than that of Ming army firearms.
At a distance of a hundred steps, the cavalry charge only took a few breaths to arrive. The Rumi gun had no time to reload its ammunition. The galloping hooves were already approaching the carriage defense line. The sound of the sword being drawn was heard. The Jiannu cavalry had already put away their bows and arrows. , pulled out the tiger tooth knife
Mu Jingyan shouted loudly, and jumped out from the back of the carriage with a big gun in his hand. A Jiannu cavalry was rushing towards him. Mu Jingyan's spear was like a dragon emerging from the water, and he fiercely shot at the captain from bottom to top. The armored soldier was about to stab him in the chest. This long-armored soldier was very skilled in riding. He twisted on the horse and managed to avoid it. The tiger-tooth knife in his hand used the momentum of the mount to slash down diagonally. It was unparalleled. If this had been the case. A guard or musketeer must have lost his head under this sword. Jiannu's cavalry was not only superb in archery, but also extremely lethal with long swords on horseback. The Ming army's defense line was often suppressed by bows and arrows first. Then the cavalry collapsed with one charge——
But Mu Jingyan is not a person who can take it easy. He has already planned his escape route. With a quick and dexterous move, the Changjia Army's tiger-tooth knife could not hold back and rushed over to chop off a corner of the carriage. Mu Jingyan looked at the flaw and held it in his hand. The spear retracted and stabbed, and the poisonous python came out of the hole and knocked the Jiannu long-armored soldier off his horse.
At this time, other Jiannu cavalry had also arrived. Seeing that this long-armored soldier was picked off, they were all shocked and exclaimed loudly. Zhang Yuan heard that the person they were crying out was "Lord Huerhan". It seems that This Huerhan is the leader of this team of Jiannu cavalry.
Seeing Mu Jingyan's prowess, Zhen Zidan jumped out of the carriage and shouted, "Kill the enemy!" He led the Jinyi guards to fight head-on, while the Jiannu cavalry reined in their horses because their leader was killed by Mu Jingyan. You cannot rely on the momentum of your war horse to swing your sword——
Zhang Yuan saw that several of the musketeers in the front row had already loaded their ammunition. At this time, they no longer paid attention to orderly shooting, and shouted: "Fire the muskets!"
With a few "bang bangs", several Jiannu cavalry dismounted from their horses. The distance was so close that it was too easy to aim. At this time, Jiannu's advantage of bows and arrows could no longer be used because Mu Jingyan and the Jinyi guards were fighting with them. , they couldn't free their hands to draw their bows and arrows.
There are only about twenty Jiannu cavalry left. Mu Jingyan, Zhen Zidan and their Jin Yiwei are already three to one, and there are also the musketeers who are lying behind the carriages and ready to fire muskets at any time. These Jiannu Changjia troops are no longer No matter how fierce he was, he was also afraid at this time. One of them blew a sharp whistle. During the whistle, seven or eight Jiannu refused to retreat but advanced. They charged fiercely with their swords. Three Jinyi guardsmen were killed immediately. The whistle-blowing cavalryman rushed over and suddenly leaned down from the saddle. He stretched out his arms and dragged the man on the ground onto the horse's back. He turned the horse's head and tried to escape -
The man these Jiannu cavalry fought desperately to capture was Hu Erhan who was knocked off his horse by Mu Jingyan. He was not sure whether he was dead or not. How could Mu Jingyan let them escape? He threw it violently and pierced the back of the Jiannu cavalry who had snatched Hu Erhan. The horse carried the dead body and ran for seven or eight feet before the dead body on the horse rolled to the ground.
