Chapter 614: Those Who Descend Don't Kill
Five miles in front of Bapanling, Tai Shici held the spear tightly in his right hand, held the reins of the horse with his left hand, and looked forward with cold eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBapanling's strategy has obviously begun to be implemented, so there is no need for these enemy forces pursuing themselves to continue to keep. The right hand was slowly raised and slammed down.
"Meet the enemy!"
With Tai Shici's loud shout, the Youzhou soldiers who were still running away in embarrassment suddenly changed their momentum, and their bodies were full of unparalleled fighting intent. The soldiers of Youzhou have been living a very aggrieved life these days, and they have been spending time in defeat and retreat, as an elite division, how could they endure such a battle. It's just that this is an order from their superiors, and they, as soldiers, can only obey it. And now, Tai Shici has finally spoken, and he can fight without any reservations.
"Kill!"
"Let these thieves know how powerful our Youzhou warriors are!"
The 50,000 Youzhou soldiers, like tigers in trouble, with fierce fighting spirit and murderous aura, holding blades, brazenly collided with the pursuing enemy army.
Nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses pursued Tai Shici, the largest of which were the soldiers of Nanwofu. As a tribal state, the orders of the patriarch and the young patriarch are like the Mandate of Heaven. Walton asked them to pursue Tai Shici, and they naturally did not hesitate to carry it out, so after these nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 were Nanwofu's soldiers, and it can be said that more than half of Nanwofu's troops are here. The remaining 20,000 soldiers were divided into soldiers from Buyeo, Hao, Lou Ru and other countries, but there were few soldiers in Goguryeo, and most of them were due to Gao Rendao.
"Stop them, and our army will be ready to come to their aid!"
"Kill Tai Shici, and you will be promoted to become rich in front of you!"
Nearly 40,000 allied troops of the Six Nations also came towards Youzhou soldiers and horses with great momentum, and in their eyes, these Youzhou soldiers were all trophies that could make them promoted and rich. At this moment, the Youzhou soldiers stopped running away and turned to fight them, they naturally couldn't ask for it, and how could they think about whether there was anything strange in it.
"Boom!"
The two soldiers and horses collided together in the blink of an eye, and these soldiers of the six countries who could run at the front of the team were naturally cavalry. Of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Tai Shici, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. According to normal circumstances, it is not too easy to destroy 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry of these nearly 40,000 cavalry. However, the reality is that it has not developed according to normal conditions.
The remaining 40,000 infantry, of which 10,000 shield soldiers were divided into two teams, stood at the front, the first team of 5,000 soldiers put their big iron shields on the ground, and the second team of 5,000 shield soldiers stood at intervals, ready to fill the gap; the shield soldiers followed the pikemen, and the 10,000 pikemen were also divided into two teams, the 5,000 pikemen put their spears on the large iron shield of the shield soldiers, and the other 5,000 pikemen put their spears at their feet and supported the spears together with the other spear。 Even if the impact of the cavalry dares to collide, it must be dead or alive, and the pikemen will not be knocked away, the two pikemen jointly master a spear, disperse the impact of the other horse's cavalry from each other, and can also reduce the impact of the other party; after the pikemen, there are 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, the sword and shield soldiers are not the same as the shield soldiers, the shield soldiers are professional meat shields, they hold the big shield at the forefront when they start the war, blocking all attacks; and the sword and shield soldiers are a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, and the shield in the hands of the sword and shield soldiers is only less than half of the shield in the hands of the shield soldiers, and can carry out small-scale defense, and can also attack, which is a relatively mediocre type of troopsThe 10,000 sword and shield soldiers did not make any move, and all stood silently in formation, as if they were superfluous people. However, it is clear that every soldier on the battlefield is precious, and there will never be superfluous, and now they have no action, obviously when they have not yet been used, and in the rear, naturally, are the archers, as an indispensable long-range unit on the battlefield, consumption is their greatest role.
"Archers prepare, attack!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
With Tai Shici's order, the archers who had already been preparing to be in place also assigned their teams and began to attack the enemy in turn.
"Ahh
Nearly 40,000 cavalry of the Six Nations, such a dense charge, they can all be hit without aiming. Besides, foreign countries have no resources and no technology, and even if they are cavalry, they are mostly covered with armor, so how can they block the penetration of arrows? The first round of the offensive of 3,000 archers made the opponent fall nearly 1,000 cavalry, but, among the 40,000 cavalry, it was not too eye-catching, and still failed to stop their charge;
After two rounds of archer fire, the opposing cavalry finally rushed to the shield men. Two rounds of shooting, the other side was injured and there were also six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, but this was a mixed soldier of the six countries, plus the command of the generals who did not have enough prestige, they did not notice this situation at this moment, and they still rushed forward without fear of death.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
The soldiers on both sides were shouting, and the fighting spirit was awe-inspiring. The cavalry's charge was indeed fierce, even if they desperately resisted, nearly half of the shield soldiers were knocked away, and they fell to the ground spitting blood, obviously suffering a lot of injuries, and it seemed impossible to enter the battlefield again; The pikemen behind the shield soldier shouted in unison, and the spears in their hands stabbed forward, and one cavalry after another fell. And at this moment, the momentum of the opposing cavalry's charge has obviously weakened.
"Sword and shield soldiers come forward, prepare!"
Tai Shi Ci gave the order again, and five thousand shield soldiers cut through the middle, making way for two or three people to pass through. Seeing this, the cavalry of the six countries rushed in from this road to kill, but they were greeted by the counter-killing of the sword and shield soldiers.
"Sword and shield soldiers attack!"
The sword and shield soldiers divided into two groups quickly rushed towards this road, two by two, one shield to the left and one shield to the right, perfect coordination, resisting the attacks from the left and right, and do not forget, in addition to the shield, they also have long knives, one hand shield to block the attack of the opposing cavalry, the other hand of the long knife, is fierce slashing the enemy in front of the enemy. At this moment, the cavalry of the six countries has not charged, and can only rely on the guns, knives, axes and other weapons in their hands to attack the front sword and shield soldiers, but their inferior weapons, want to break through the excellent shield in the hands of the sword and shield soldiers, obviously a little not enough, under the fierce sprint of the sword and shield soldiers, the cavalry of the six countries can not stop the attack of the sword and shield soldiers, and they are cut a road from the middle by the sword and shield soldiers. As a result, only about 30,000 cavalry of the Six Nations remained, and they were separated into two battle circles.
The cavalry of the six countries belonged to different camps, coupled with the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies, without any cooperation, in the face of the sophisticated equipment and perfect cooperation of the Youzhou soldiers, there was simply no resistance. In just a quarter of an hour or so, the cavalry of the Six Kingdoms suffered casualties and fell nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, only about 20,000 remained, while the Youzhou soldiers suffered no more than 1,000 casualties, most of them were wounded, but very few were killed in battle.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
At this moment, there was a earth-shattering sound from the rear, like a landslide cracking, followed by a loud noise, and then a sky-high fire rose, even without any words, the remaining cavalry of the six countries also knew what was going on, obviously the rear troops had entered the ambush circle of the other party, and they finally understood at this moment why it had been so long, their reinforcements had not yet arrived, and it turned out that they had been ambushed by the other party.
"We don't have support, what should we do?"
"Are we going to die here, I'm not reconciled!"
One after another wails sounded, and the troops behind were ambushed, which dealt a heavy blow to these already inferior cavalry of the Six Nations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Some of the soldiers with poor mental quality had already started crying, and some of them were even more unbearable and fainted. Of course, although it was a little humiliating to faint, it was saved from being killed by the soldiers of Youzhou, but some of the unlucky ones were trampled to death by their own cavalry.
"No, we can't beat it, let's run!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
Finally, the cavalry of the Six Nations reacted and retreated with a loud shout. It's just that now their back road has been blocked by boulders and fires, and the shield soldiers of Youzhou are blocking in front, and the middle is divided by sword and shield soldiers, and they can only run to the sides.
It's just that, don't forget, before, Tai Shi Ci divided 10,000 cavalry into two teams and scattered them on both sides to prevent the situation at this moment.
"Brothers, prepare!"
The officers who led the two teams of cavalry saw the signal sent by Tai Shici on the battlefield, and at the same time their spirits were shocked, and they shouted, and all the cavalry held their horses' heads and raised their spears in their hands. Unlike the chaotic equipment of the cavalry of the Six Kingdoms, the cavalry of Youzhou is all equipped with unified light armor and cavalry spears, and the lethality of the cavalry is mostly in the charge, and the one that can cause the most damage under the charge is undoubtedly a long weapon such as a spear, and a short weapon is not the best choice for the cavalry. Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the Mongolian cavalry in history, they mostly used short scimitars, but don't forget that the Mongolian cavalry are uniformly equipped with bows and arrows except for short scimitars. Whenever they faced the enemy, they first rode their horses and shots, and after the enemy's formation was crushed, they began to charge and harvest the heads with short scimitars, which few cavalry in history could achieve except for the Mongol cavalry. Needless to say, those specially built are naturally needless to mention, such as Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, etc., although they can also do it, but these cavalry are built by them at a great cost, unlike the Mongolian cavalry, this kind of riding and archery is necessary and can be popularized to every Mongolian soldier. In this way, the legend of Mongolia across three continents has been created. And historically, no one other than the Mongols has been able to do this with cavalry alone.
Youzhou also has two elite cavalry, one is the Dongping Iron Cavalry commanded by Han Sui, and the cavalry and archery methods are still being trained, and the other is the Bao family army commanded by Yu Ban, the cavalry of the Bao family army is Bao Xin's soldiers and horses, which cost a lot of money to build, and is the elite of the cavalry, compared with Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, it is only weaker. The reason why Cao Cao established the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was also because of Bao Xin's cavalry. Therefore, although the cavalry of the Bao family army was not accustomed to riding and shooting before, after a short period of training, they were able to use such methods skillfully. This time, as one of the commanders of Yu Ban to pacify the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula, 5,000 Bao Jiajun were naturally brought by him, and among the 10,000 cavalry, 3,000 were Yu Ban's Bao Jiajun.
"Cavalry attack!"
The officers of the two cavalry teams gave an order at the same time, and the cavalry slapped their horses under their crotches, held their spears, and charged towards the defeated cavalry of the Six Kingdoms; while the cavalry of the three thousand Bao family army was arranged in half of the two cavalry teams, and when they charged, the three thousand cavalry of the Bao family army, in the amazed eyes of the other cavalry, took their bows and wound them one after another, without any command or any aim, as if after thousands of tempering, the arrows on the bow shot towards the cavalry of the six countries like a meteor, and each arrow could hit the opponent's cavalry or the opponent's war horse。 When they were about to approach, the 3,000 cavalry of the Bao family army inflicted nearly 6,000 casualties on the other side, twice their number. It can be seen from this that the cavalry can ride and shoot while galloping, what a powerful means, and it is no wonder that with the ferocity of the Mongols, they can become the overlord of a period of history for a period of time, and there seems to be nothing impossible with such means.
"Ahh
Under the sharp spears of the Youzhou cavalry and the strong fighting spirit, the defeated cavalry of the Six Nations did not have any resistance at all, and fell one after another like cutting wheat.
In fact, there are still about 20,000 cavalry in the Six Kingdoms, and each battle circle has 10,000 troops, while the Youzhou cavalry is divided into two battle circles, each with 5,000 people, under normal circumstances, 10,000 cavalry is a huge advantage. It's just that, first of all, the gap in equipment is self-evident; secondly, the other party has been defeated at the moment, and the morale has plummeted; also, these cavalry are soldiers and horses of different forces, and they have no cooperation with each other at all, plus there is no one to command, in the face of the attack of the Youzhou cavalry, they are just barely resisting, and they are more thinking about how to get out of the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that they were defeated so quickly and suffered such heavy casualties!
Tai Shi Ci raised his eyes and glanced at the battlefield, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!" (To be continued.) )
