Chapter 389 Encounter
However, this time they were destined to return empty-handed, because they chased in the wrong direction, and it snowed heavily in the sky, and after a few days of marching, they were finally exhausted to the extreme.
Chang Yuchun knew that the soldiers had become the end of the crossbow. In desperation, he had no choice but to let the soldiers give up tracking. After a short break, they were ready to return to the capital.
However, what Chang Yuchun didn't expect was that he lost his way due to the heavy snow.
After all, Chang Yuchun is a southerner. He has never experienced the scene of ice and snow in the north. Moreover, these days are foggy, and he can't see the sun, and there is white everywhere, without any references, and there is no guide who is familiar with the terrain.
He fell into a military taboo. In a strange environment and a strange terrain, he put his army in crisis.
General Chang Sheng, Chang Yuchun, finally encountered something that made him unhappy.
He went in the opposite direction and went deep into the hinterland of the grassland.
However, just as he was about to run out of food, he met a Mongolian tribe with hundreds of sheep.
The Mongols bullied the Han people too hard. Although Chang Yuchun knew that the people grazing on the grassland were not the evil one in the Central Plains, but who let him also be a tar!
Chang Yuchun ordered all these sheep to be used as military food and slaughtered for his army to eat, so that he could last for a few days.
My army is going to starve, but I don't care so much about Chang Yuchun.
Eating mutton is more hungry than the fried noodles you brought. At least it's meat.
There is no way out. Chang Yuchun found a second tribe and captured thousands of sheep. In this way, there is no need to worry about food for the time being.
However, Chang Yuchun felt keenly that his army might bump into something, so when he marched, he arranged a lot of scouts in front of him.
As a result, the next day, his striker met the enemy.
This is the gathering area of the tribes on the grassland, and the army of Timur is expanding here for disaster relief.
The snowstorm here is very serious. However, with the help of the army led by the expansion, they moved to a reserved grassland covered with heavy snow. They picked up the snow and exposed the grass below. The sheep, who had been frozen for a long time, saw the grass and ate it.
The expansion knows that the snow disaster on the grassland is over. With this grassland, the sheep can survive this white disaster, and the lives of the same clans on the grassland will be saved.
However, just as they had just completed the task, the expansion scout found that in the distance, there was an army coming slowly.
Looking at their appearance, it is definitely not the Mongolian army.
Since it is not a Mongolian army, it is the enemy. The expansion of Timur's army is the last one in the court that can fight a hard battle. Without any mobilization, they immediately lined up into a defensive formation.
On the outside, it is a shield hand, and then to the inside, it is a spear hand. The spear hand can stab the spear out at any time, pierce the enemy rushing to the front of the battle, and then to the inside, it is an archer. Inside, you can use bows and arrows to constantly kill the enemy.
This typical defensive formation is actually not good for the Mongols. They prefer to ride a horse to attack, but in this kind of weather, in this kind of snow, it is impossible to ride a horse to charge.
This formation, but the southerners who are not good at riding and shooting are better.
In this terrain, the offensive and defensive sides have been replaced. The Mongolian army, which is the best at attacking, is defending, and the Han army, which is not good at attacking, is attacking.
However, Chang Yuchun's army is omnipotent, especially the defensive position of attacking this cold weapon era.
If it is any other army, then this defensive formation can also play a great role. This formation is a living meat grinder. However, for now, they have no chance to take action at all.
Chang Yuchun's men stepped on the sled and saw the defensive formation of the Tatar soldiers in front of them. They were very happy. They stepped through the iron shoes and had no place to find. It took no effort. Chang Yuchun thought that he had found the Tatar Emperor.
And the mutton they just ate has not been digested. They are in their best condition.
Rushing forward to the front of the opponent's defensive formation is undoubtedly the stupidest suicide. Chang Yuchun immediately ordered his men to line up as scattered soldiers. Starting from the side, he slipped past 200 steps away from the other party. At the same time, he used the sky in his hand to kill the other party!
So, the most depressing battle of expansion slowly began.
He saw the enemy's army in the distance and stayed there, but he did not move. He thought that the other party was afraid when he saw his formation. It was best. His team was already a little tired. As long as he scared the other party away, it was okay.
Who knows, soon, he saw that the other party seemed to have some strange time sliding through the snow. Is this what is often called flying on the snow in the middle of the earth?
Because he was far away, he did not see the sled under the other party's feet.
However, this is not over. The other party did not perform in front of their own formation. They began to shoot intensively two hundred steps away from their formation.
The leather shield can resist bows and arrows and saber slashing, but it can't resist the opponent's bullets.
With the sound of fire, his subordinates began to fall down constantly.
However, no one moved, and his military order was extremely strict. If he did not give the order, even if all of them fell, no one would move.
The other party kept crossing in front of his eyes and kept taking away the lives of his soldiers.
What should I do? I feel that I am in big trouble.
If you stay still like this, then the other party will keep shooting its own soldiers. If you move forward, there is no certainty of winning. Your army moves slowly and is not the opponent of the other party's flexible soldiers at all. If you retreat, the other party will definitely come over.
The expansion was hesitating, but he heard a violent vibration behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the strangest scene of his life: countless sheep were running over like crazy.
The dense gunfire just now scared the sheep. Some of the sheep's legs were weak and could not move, while some of the sheep seemed to be full of strength and kept running forward.
Although the sheep are not tall, thousands of sheep come over, which is not so easy to deal with. The taste of being trampled on by sheep's hooves repeatedly is definitely not good. The expansion immediately ordered the soldiers to dodge the channel and let the sheep flow rush out!
Let these crazy sheep harm the Han army opposite!
The Mongolian army opposite suddenly made a gap. Before Chang Yuchun ordered, they saw countless sheep running towards him.
The ancients had a fire bull array. The tattar army did not have cattle, so they replaced them with sheep? Such an idea flashed in Chang Yuchun's mind.
