Chapter 968: Changing Ways Halfway
Zhao Xiaoming, the commander of the cavalry brigade of the Heavenly Army, used the right tactics at the right time and in the right place, and made a contribution in one fell swoop!
With only four swords, he cut down a large group of powerful and brave enemies, killing a total of 16,000 enemies!
Twenty-five thousand warriors came, only nine thousand ran, and the rest were all resting on the yellow earth under their feet!
Seeing that the enemy was fierce when he came, and the wolf was unbearable when he went, Zhao Xiaoming laughed loudly!
The warriors also laughed out loud!
Of course, instead of laughing at the enemy, they rejoiced in their own joyful victory.
This saber is so powerful! This battle is very good!
They heard that these are all standard weapons that Mai Ke insists on developing, building, and equipping!
More powerful than any shotgun or flint gun!
Such a victory was also staged in the same way in the other twenty-nine commandos, but none of them were as neat and neat as Zhao Xiaoming's here, without dragging their feet!
If you want to say that there are many people, you have to say that you are the descendants of the ancient Xiongnu.
Together, they numbered almost 100,000 men and assembled in the heart of the battlefield.
Although the Heavenly Army's water, fire, and gold opened the way, dividing them into several small pieces, and the passage in the middle was broken into by the Heavenly Army, they were still able to maintain their scattered forms and spirits, and they were not divided into orders.
In other words, they are still a whole, and they all obey the command of Boyan Nemohu.
And the army attacking by the Heavenly Army, this central part is also under the personal leadership of Hu Yihuang.
So the two of them fought again in a narrow area to the art of commanding.
If you want to talk about formal training and professional background, of course, Hu Yihuang is much more powerful, he is Mai Ke's classmate in the military academy!
And the actual combat experience, although Boyan Nemohu is very young, the people on horseback have grown up on horseback since childhood, and of course they are richer.
They grew up on horseback. It's not about eating, sleeping, and playing on horseback, it's about fighting!
If you don't fight on horseback, you don't count as on horseback!
The two of them did their best, and they fought equally.
The cavalry of the descendants of the ancient Xiongnu is actually roughly divided into two types, one is the light cavalry that mainly uses bows and arrows. One is heavy cavalry, which uses heavy weapons.
The heavy weapons of the so-called heavy cavalry are mainly wide and tough long swords and battle axes, and there is also a spear with barbs, which is actually a variation of hook and robbery.
The user's hook-and-grab cavalry is actually somewhere between light cavalry and heavy cavalry with bows and arrows.
The dead and wounded in the front cracks were all hook company robbers and light cavalry, and now the opponents are heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry of the Celestial Army, because of its saber quality and power, is equal to the enemy's heavy cavalry, and its agility and mobility are equal to the enemy's pikemen.
Also, as a nomadic with a long history. They also had their most skillful harnesses, which they could use to lasso and pull them off their horses in battle.
Therefore, when fighting with the enemy of Ge, you must always pay attention to the horse trap given by the sky.
Even when the enemy escapes, he can't keep chasing too closely, and he doesn't know when he will return to the horse. Instead, they were caught.
Now Hu Yihuang is leading the main force of the Heavenly Army, about 80,000 people. is fighting against these descendants of the ancient Huns!
The heavenly army's horse chopping sword, wielding the silver light in the sky, slashed at the enemy like a knife, and the opponent was able to use the broad-bladed sword or battle axe in his hand to block the powerful horse chopping knife!
It only shook the war horses on both sides and screamed.
Actually blocked?
Again!
"Bang!"
Blocked again?
Come back!
"Bang!"
What, dare to block!
Come on!
The sound of "......" is like a mud cow entering the sea!
Didn't hear anything!
It turned out that everyone's ears were deafening, really deaf!
Although it may only be temporary.
The three swords of the Heavenly Army with all their might. Finally knocked the enemy back!
This shows that the heavy troops of the Heavenly Army are slightly higher than those of these ancient Huns!
The heavenly army will not let people go, and will not let go, and take a step forward. Then swing the saber and slash!
"Bang!" "Bang!"
After three slashes, the enemy rider took another step back!
Although the heavy army of the ancient Xiongnu tribe was stronger than the heavenly army in many aspects, it was inferior to the heavenly army in terms of the use of weapons.
The Gain Heavenly Army slashes the saber every day, and the standard requirement is to rivet enough strength every day to cut a hundred times in a row!
So the few knives they cut out at the right time can only be regarded as a piece of cake.
Then, the face of the Heavenly Army went through another round! In the fourth round, the heavy soldiers of the ancient Xiongnu tribe finally couldn't resist it and were split into two pieces with one sword!
Immediately afterwards, these exhausted ancient Xiongnu heavy soldiers were sentenced to death one after another by sabers!
At the same time, the Cossacks, Kasaka, Ulaanbako, as well as the descendants of Donghu and Xianbei were also approached by the swords of the Heavenly Army.
They are not only inferior in weapons, but also inferior to the heavenly army in terms of body and horse strength!
In this way, about half of each of their tribes was killed by the Heavenly Army's sabers.
All the people who were saved trembled under the swords of the heavenly army!
Not only did God take it, but it was exhausting!
Even the most courageous ancient Hun heavy soldiers fell into the same tragic situation!
Not to mention the Turghut cavalry that was tightly locked by Zhao Xiaoming's cavalry brigade.
If this development continues, these Manchu cavalry will have only one way, and they will be killed here by the heavenly army's sabers!
At this moment, an order from Mai Ke came down, and this order was not common for the heavenly generals.
But this order, for the light cavalry, was wonderful news for the pardon of the death penalty.
What is this command?
The air was resounding for the second time: "All the soldiers of the Heavenly Army are here, and the Great Governor of the Heavenly Kingdom, Mai Ke, has ordered: From now on, when fighting with the enemy, you must use your sword to face the enemy, and it is forbidden to use the blade, so as not to cause too much damage!" After this order is issued, it will be executed immediately until this order is lifted!"
Mai Ke used gas elements to deliver this order to every corner of the battlefield.
Mai Ke was not idle, he was operating the spirit rhino to transport all the dead and wounded to him to determine whether they were completely dead.
Team without dead people. Immediate treatment is needed to reduce the number of deaths.
The same is true for the treatment of the enemy, but according to the emergency procedure, the Heavenly Kingdom of the same level is given priority, and only after the wounded of the Heavenly Kingdom of the same level are rescued, it will be the turn of the Qing army.
Treatment. Mai Ke saw that as long as he was slashed by the heavenly army's slashing knife, there was little hope of survival.
Because this method of killing people is too violent, it is either cut horizontally at the waist or vertically by slashing the living.
Because the Lingxi Yidong has an automatic recording and tracking function, all the people who were snatched from the battlefield have been diagnosed by the Lingxi Yidong, and the ratio of dead and alive and the specific person are clear at a glance.
By now, the number of wounded in the Celestial Army is 12,000. The death toll was five hundred and sixty-seven.
The number of Qing soldiers has been as high as 80,000 from the beginning to the present, and the number of wounded is less than 10,000.
In other words, the attrition of the Qing army was basically death.
There is also a situation that the wounded personnel of the Celestial Army, after treatment, have completely recovered, and these people can immediately return to the battlefield.
And even if the enemy's wounded are healed, it is impossible to go back.
And Mai Ke if he wants. A large number of them will join the Celestial Army. After all, their lives were resurrected from the dead by the heavenly army.
However, none of this is a priority.
The top priority is the Qing army that is still surviving in the swords of the Heavenly Army!
If left unchecked, they will be cut in half in a short time, just like their dead companions!
So, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, Mai Ke gave the order to face the enemy with his back to the knife!
This is also a common practice of the Celestial Army.
Chopping the saber to strike. If you want to kill the enemy, use the blade, and if you want to leave the enemy alive, use the back of the knife!
With the back of the sword, it can also subdue the enemy, but only spare their lives.
And under the power of the spirit rhino movement. Injuries caused on the back of the same knife, no matter how strict they are, can be treated.
The military order was like a mountain, and Mai Ke's military order was issued, and all the swords were turned one hundred and eighty degrees, turning the knife against the enemy.
This knife went down, although it still caused the enemy's bones to be broken, but no one died.
The wounded were quickly carried to Mai Ke, and after the diagnosis and treatment of Lingxi, no one died.
At this time, on the side of the Qing army, whether it was the commander-in-chief Boyan Nemohu or ordinary soldiers, they already knew that the heavenly army was open to them.
From the order of their chief manager called Mai Ke to the resolute compliance of all the soldiers of the Heavenly Army on the battlefield, many people who had already reached the Ghost Gate were able to survive again.
Although he was still injured, there was always hope.
With gratitude in mind, the fighting spirit drops sharply, and there is no longer the motivation to work hard.
Boyan Nemohu knew that there was no way to fight this battle, and if it took another half an hour, even if no one died, the whole army would be annihilated.
Therefore, he decisively decided not to retreat, and to retreat!
So, he gave the order to stop the fighting and the whole army to retreat!
Then, under the escort of his guards, he took the lead and rushed out.
At this time, the Celestial Army and the Qing Army were still in a state of melee, and if the enemy wanted to leave, there was no way to stop it, so after a little blockade, the enemy was allowed to leave.
Hu Yihuang did not order the Heavenly Army to resolutely block it, because it was beneficial for the Qing Army to take the initiative to retreat at this time!
If they are resolutely blocked, it will inevitably make them trapped in the beast, and the crazy pounce before death can also cause the heavenly army to suffer great damage.
At the same time, since Mai Ke gave the order to turn his back on the enemy, it was obvious that he wanted to open the net and leave them a way to live, so it was best to escape.
With such a deserter, the Celestial Army has a hundred ways to wipe them out!
Hu Yihuang even thought that even if they didn't run, they had to be prompted to run!
Where can such a remnant army run away?
Clearly, they have chosen a path that is even more detrimental to their own.
Hu Yihuang waited for them to all embark on the escape route before giving the order with ease.
"Chase!".
