2355 Thunder in the Silence (9)
The number of the grassland army is increasing dramatically, when the number is like a dark cloud covering most of the visible area on the opposite riverbank, the corners of Yeluguda's mouth began to show a touch of hideousness, as the former army of the grassland army is 50,000, of which the Baihe army of the Yelu family accounts for more than 30,000,
War horses crowded with war horses, rows of wooden shields with iron bones in their hands, people stacked on top of people, horses stacked on horses, black pressed armor cold, like a whole, group swimming, is the usual way for the grassland cavalry to cross the river, that is, swimming, encounter a large river, cross with the way of people piling people, in the rapid flow of water, after a few people and horses blocked, it will appear that there is no strength, not to mention that the Surabaya River beach in front of you is only thirty meters wide, the river is just kicking, in front of tens of thousands of cavalry clusters, is a small ditch, with the order issued, a team of steppe archers stood out from both sides, began to pull out the horn bow in their hands, neatly raised in the direction of the river bank, countless cold light arrows like a starry sky,
At this moment, the other side of the river, where people and horses were still screaming just now, quieted down suddenly, no one spoke, only the wind by the river blew the military flag of the grassland army fluttering, and in the silent air, there was a huge force that made people feel amazing, even if it was a war horse, it seemed to feel this inexplicable pressure, and it was completely out of biological instinct to choose to tense the body
The steppe man's horn bow was able to shoot eighty meters, enough to cover the opposite riverbank,
Although the grassland people take the cavalry as the main force, it does not mean that there is no infantry, especially in the first battle of Yanzhou, the grassland army found that the cavalry attacked rapidly, but once it encountered the Zhongbian people's defense of the city, there was no way at all, so many lowly slaves were organized into infantry, the main role of these slave infantry is to release arrows, cooperate with the cavalry to attack small fortresses, and the weapons equipped are mainly simple wooden shields and scimitars. There is no armor on the body, the slightly better is the thin leather armor, in order to let these slaves out of their death force, Yelu Hongtai released the latest order, kill the slaves of three Zhongbia soldiers in the battle, not only cancel the status of slaves, but also get three sheep, one male and two female, two cows and one male and female, which is in the eyes of ordinary grassland people. It is the first prototype of a family
Most of these slaves were steppe people, prisoners of war among the various ethnic groups,
Hearing such an order, all of them had red eyes, these grassland light infantry who had already seen blood in Yanzhou had begun to show the ferocious nature of the steppe wolf, and since entering the Dijing Plain, they have swept all the way, and the weakness of the Sino-Biya army. and the non-resistance of some small cities, so that these grassland people, who were still a little speculative at the beginning, and felt cramped about to enter the rumored richest Dijing Plain, suddenly found confidence in their hearts. The people of Central Africa are nothing more than that, no wonder the imperial capital has been breached! What a good pasture, what a beautiful woman, and a large number of goods. Since the Central Biyans can't keep these things, then give them all to us!
The thinking of the grassland people has always been that of the jungle, direct and cruel. Yelu Hongtai painted such a big cake for 300,000 grassland people, and the bitter battle in Yanzhou made the grassland people begin to doubt this cake, but now, the imperial capital is in front of him, and the cake is no longer a cake that fills hunger, it is enough to make people crazy Rich women, now they look at the Central Belgian army opposite, their eyes are red,
"Kill, kill! Kill to the Imperial Capital!"
This is the idea of all the steppe people, the motivation of this spirit gathered, there is almost no need to encourage any morale, the steppe people are like ants smelling the sweetness of candy, desperate, countless horses' hooves, so fearlessly stepped into the rolling white waves of Surabaya in front, and the water hit these steppe cavalry violently,
The water flow is agitated like a landslide and the ground cracks, rolling up a large area of white, many cavalry were swept off their horses by the waves, but they were blocked by other horizontal columns to "help" the water nature of the steppe people is not good, even if it is temporarily blocked, it is only struggling and fluttering in the water, and the mouth is filled with a large mouthful of river water, and it can't float for half a day, and the hands are scratching around, which has nothing to do with bravery, it is completely a normal survival reaction of the human body,
"Poof" A steppe cavalryman raised his scimitar in his hand, and without hesitation, he cut off the hand of a man who fell into the water and grabbed it around, watching the person who fell into the water with a broken hand desperately being beaten away by the torrent, the bright red blood pulled out a striking red line in the water, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and no one of the steppe cavalry next to him stretched out his hand to drag it
Wearing such thick armor, falling into the water is almost the end of the day, not to mention that the person who fell into the water has already panicked and does not care about anything, whoever dares to pull a handful will definitely be pulled into the water by the other party, and it is better for one person to die than two people! Poof! Blood continues to appear on the surface of the river, and there are constantly severed hands floating, and the owner of the severed hand has long since not known where it has gone.
The horns of the steppe people have never been broken, and a group of cavalry drove into the river, starting from the first more than 1,000 people who stepped into the river, and gradually began to have more steppe cavalry riding horses and stepping in, and the number of them made the scalp dizzy, as if a huge gate was suddenly inserted on the surface of the river for thousands of meters, and the river was separated, and instead there were countless horse heads, human heads, grassland cavalry with scimitars in their mouths, and dense wooden shields like scales. This kind of barbaric practice, like the spectacular sight of the great migration of the wildebeest antelope on the African savannah, is even more shocking.
The Sino-Beyan army on the opposite side unconsciously clenched their weapons, feeling a little cold on their backs, looking at the scene on the river, those veterans who participated in the battle of Dijing are okay, they know what kind of virtue these steppe people are, and there are also some new recruits who have been scared silly, are these still people? "You know a fart!"
The veteran next to him spat on the ground with a disdainful expression, raised the heavy iron barbed gun in his hand, and said coldly." The grassland people went to the battlefield, then they are not people, you know, these grassland people from the bitter cold north are not afraid of death, in the grassland natural disasters and wars in such an environment, human life is very fragile, so they believe in immortality, they no longer expect what this life is, what they are pursuing is to die, is to return to immortality, death, in their eyes is like returning to the arms of their mothers, so these madmen can kill their compatriots very calmly, or they can kill us very crazy, do not want to die. Only more ruthless than them, knowing that in the original battle of Dijing, hundreds of thousands of people were defeated, but we have no reason for the collapse!" "What is the reason" The recruit asked a little stupidly, flattering the Zhangwu army was defeated by the grassland army in the Hanling River, covering dozens of miles along the way, I heard that more than 200,000 people were killed, and only Yang Zijun's troops were not defeated, and they rarely retained part of their troops, which was also after the Zhongbian court went south. The reason for handing over the defense of the entire Dijing Plain to Yang Zi is full of courts, and there is only such a person left who can fight with the grassland people a few times, and the emperor did not hesitate to promote Yang Zi from a general of the flattering army to the position of the deputy general of the imperial capital guard, and the position of the deputy general of the flattering army, it can be said that he is the highest military commander in the imperial capital combat area.
As for the reason why Yang Zi was not defeated by the Grassland Army. , There are all kinds of rumors, some people say that General Yang Zi is the god of war in the sky. Specializing in these grassland people, so when the grassland people heard that General Yang Zi's troops were in front of them, they all consciously walked around, and some people said that Yang Zi was a white tiger star. is more fierce than the steppe people, and the steppe people dare not provoke it,
It's because I've heard all kinds of rumors. Recruits only joined Yang Zi's flattering army, the Dijing catastrophe, not only the Dijing people died, but also the Zhongbian people in many nearby cities, there is no shortage of young people in Zhongbiya who are full of hatred, Yang Zi is the guardian of the imperial capital, and absorbs these young people into his army, although these young people lack combat experience, but they will not be afraid to fight when they see the grassland people, at least it will not happen that the incident that happened in Hanglin a few days ago lost the face of the entire flattering army, "Do you see the thousands of heavily armored swordsmen behind the general?" The veteran looked at the place where the military flag was located with a strange face, and gave the recruit a look, unconsciously revealing a trace of fear, "Heavy armor knife hand?" The recruit looked over in surprise, only to see that under the military flag, thousands of long swordsmen wearing Zhongbia heavy armor were listed in four teams, all of which were thick armor like iron piers, with thickened iron plates on the arms and shoulders, and the weapon in his hand was a single-edged machete with an extended handle, the head of the knife was heavy and thick, and it was definitely the kind that could split the armor with one sword.
Being able to be placed under the military flag, it is naturally a heavy soldier in the army, and it is also a bargaining chip that is released at a critical moment, seeing these heavy armor sword soldiers who almost do not look like people, the recruit looked at the thin weapons in his hands, took a deep breath of cold air, and said to himself, "No wonder, there are such heavy troops here, and the grassland cavalry of the day will not be able to break down even if they are killed!" "Hehe, where are your eyes, do you see this? In vain, I have so much saliva, and I don't know how to die later." When the veteran heard the recruit's words, he was so angry that he wanted to hit the recruit with the weapon in his hand, and said angrily, "Who told you that these heavy-armored sword soldiers are used to deal with the steppe cavalry! You will know later?" "What do you mean? The recruit's eyes bulged wide, could he have said something wrong?"
"Do you think these guys in heavy armor can resist the front line? Don't be kidding, the impact of the cavalry cluster, even the iron lump will be trampled on, not to mention that there are people inside!" The old soldier's voice paused, "If you want to block the charge of the cavalry cluster, there is no other way than to fill it with human lives, the position of those heavily armored swordsmen is the position in the ranks of the army, and the people in front of them will only make a move."
"What if the people in front of you can't stand it?"
The recruit's face is ugly, his position is in front, although it is not the first line, but it is also the second and third line, and he finally knows where he is wrong, so heavy troops, the general will naturally not choose to throw it the first line, the idea of the recruits, but also represents the idea of most of the recruits, when it comes to killing the grassland people, one by one looks excited, it seems that a knife can sweep a large area, the head of the enemy chief in the army, what a heroic dry cloud, what a glory, but really see the cavalry clusters of the grassland people overwhelmingly cover up, most of the recruits, are holding the weapon with one hand, but everything is down in the crotch, and the legs are swinging uncontrollably, It's good to be able to stand with it,
"Those who retreat are naturally killed!"
The veteran's eyes narrowed into a line, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, revealing half of the missing front teeth, the recruit remembered that the veteran said that this half of the front teeth was knocked out by the war horse of the steppe cavalry and knocked off the stones on the ground, and the look of the veteran in front of him seemed to think of some very unbearable memories, showing a trace of chills that made the recruit feel cold,
"Archer launch!"
The recruits heard a shout from the direction of the military flag's main formation, and countless clusters of arrows burst up from behind the military formation, densely packed, covering the entire sky
The recruit's face was shocked, so that his eyes unblinkingly watched this black cloud tear open the queue of the steppe people on the river in an instant, the feeling was not surprise, joy, but there was a trembling chill through the bones, the killing was so intuitive, a puff of bright red and dazzling red, exploding on the river, and the arrow pierced into the body The sound was like the tearing sound of a beast violently tearing apart the tendons with its sharp teeth,
In order to avoid the bow shooting, which the steppe army is best at, the position of the Central Beian army is not close to the river, but 60 meters behind the river, and if the opponent's archers want to shoot at this position, they must step into the river and kick the rushing river
But this short-term advantage can only be maintained when the opponent's cavalry has not yet landed, the hooves of a steppe war horse firmly stepped on the opposite bank of the river beach in the rapids, the arrows were full of wooden shields of the cavalry on horseback, and the armor on the body was also full of a lot, like a hedgehog, but this cavalry rushed up like this, and it was so fierce that people wondered if it was human
"Balu Thousand Knife Tent has landed!" Seeing this scene, the figure of the steppe cavalry was shocked, it seemed that at this moment, everyone's fighting spirit was agitated, and the hand holding the reins of the war horse invariably stirred a few more times in the hand, even to the extent that even if you let go of the hand, it will not fall off, as long as you land on the shore, you can use the horse to rush, and you will not die!
"Bastard, it's our Zhongbia's dragon scale armor!" The recruit heard the angry scolding of the veteran soldiers around him, and sure enough, he saw that the steppe man who rushed ashore was dressed very familiarly, and it turned out to be a dragon scale armor that only Zhongbiya could only be equipped with at the general level, and he didn't know which Zhongbia general it was taken from.
"What are you still doing in a daze, the front army is advancing!, drive them down!"
At this moment, the Sino-Belgian army began to advance, the heavy iron spear was lifted together, the impact of the cavalry was very large, the general wooden gun barrel could not bear it at all, even if the cavalry could be stabbed down, the gun was broken, and it was impossible to resist the impact of the second wave, so after learning the lesson of the Dijing fiasco, Yang Zijun began to equip genuine iron spears, each iron spear was five meters long, and two infantry were required to cooperate, a bit similar to the dragon spear with Obaro
The entire front queue moved, and once all the steppe cavalry landed on the shore, it would be the end of the Yang army
The old soldier looked at the new soldier who was in a trance, and snorted in a low voice, "Remember, even if you die, don't retreat! The heavy armor knife is extremely sharp, and one knife is two! It's good to die, I'm afraid that the remaining half of my body will survive and I can't ask for death! Roll in the mud, I can't take care of you at that time!"
"Yes!" The recruit shuddered, his face was pale, it seemed like he saw a half-cut person crying in the blood stains all over the ground, and nodded vigorously, at this time, there was no repentance pill to eat, his eyes could only stare at the huge front line that crossed the river, like a rolling wave, the front end of the front line suddenly revealed a cold light like snow, just a scimitar biting in the grassland population, there is such a light, even if it is far away, the recruit also feels that the temperature around him has dropped a few degrees, and the recruit has a feeling that these grassland people are not people, they are beastsIt's not the knife that shines, it's the fangs of the beast!
"Kill, kill the steppe people!" The veteran suddenly shouted in the loudest voice, and countless voices sounded around him, "Kill, kill the steppe people!" The recruit tried hard to open his mouth, but was hit in the face by a hot pool of blood, and hit his mouth, across the river, countless arrows broke through the air, and an arrow pierced the head of the person in front of him, (to be continued......)
