905. Chapter 905: The Battle of the Jedi 6
Shanzhen is also the elite unit of the Xia Army, and each supervising military department has a Shanzhen establishment, and the equipment is also excellent, but the scale is not large. Please search and read the most complete and updated novels They have leather armor made of cowhide, and their defense is not satisfactory, but they can also defend against strong bow shots.
However, it is not possible in the face of the Divine Arm Bow, and if he is hit within 200 steps, he will either die or be injured, and he will not be spared.
The burden is the auxiliary of the regular soldiers, they carry food and grass, give support to the regular soldiers on the battlefield, and collect the corpses of the dead in battle, and can also fight on behalf of the regular soldiers.
They withstood the blows of crossbow arrows, and snatched back corpses, some of them were mountain-clad and some of them were terrifying, some of them were deeply armoured, some were bleeding, some were still screaming for help, some were prostrate or prostrate, or limbs were incomplete or headless, all on horseback.
Due to the obstruction of the baggage cart, the iron harrier rushed to the front of the Song army's military formation, had to stop, became a live target, was shot at close range by a strong crossbow, or was knocked down by a horse chopping knife, and was crushed to death by an axe and hammer, which made Gu Lihei very anxious.
The bed crossbow and the divine arm bow are too much for the iron harrier, especially in the narrow combat space, and the lethality of the crossbow arrow is doubled.
You must know that the Iron Harrier is the elite of the Xia Kingdom, and Li Qianshun attaches great importance to Cheng Dรน above the Proton Army, and the Xia Kingdom is known as the Iron Harrier galloping, attacking from the mountains, and covering with strong crossbows, and any casualties among these elites are not something he can bear.
"Put on your clothes." He decisively asked the Iron Harrier to withdraw and use the lives of the Han people to consume the resistance of the Song army.
However, there are still some iron harriers who cannot be withdrawn, they have been entangled by the Song saber and axemen, and the terrible battle has just begun.
The crisp sound of axes and hammers hitting iron armor and the dull sound of iron maces and maces smashing heads and foreheads were intertwined in front of the military formation.
The Song army was obviously trained to deal with heavy cavalry, with swords and axes in groups of three, chopping sabers specifically to call war horses, big axes and iron hammers directly killed the cavalry who fell off the horse, or directly smashed the war horse with an iron hammer, so that the cavalry was thrown to the ground heavily, and could only watch the knife and axe fall on the head.
The horses continued to neigh in pity, and the heavily armored cavalry was thrown to the ground, but they could not break free from the rope and stand up.
Then came the iron armor that had its neck cut off by a large axe or smashed by a hammer sank deep, blood spurting wildly and flesh splattering everywhere. Without exception, their eyes were round-eyed, hateful and godless, full of helpless despair, and among them the fear of despair before death.
The battle did not last long, more than 20 Iron Harriers were all slaughtered, and thousands of pretending to be ordered to go on the offensive, and it was another tragic battle.
The Song army struggled to keep the defensive line intact, and the crossbow bolts were fired again, knocking down the first wave of rushing Linglang head-on.
Dang Yi is the younger brother of Dang Xiong, but it is completely two families, his family has lived in Huanqing since the time of Zhenzong, and has been stationed at the border for the imperial court for generations.
Although he is a member of the party, the biggest enemy of his family is the party member, and the children of the party family have been border generals of the court for generations, and there are thousands of people who have died on the battlefield.
He also joined the army with the road of the elders, and became the battalion commander in his thirties, and the forbidden army was reorganized into the 46th Brigade Town, and the two horse battalions were all surnamed Dang. However, there is a competitive relationship between them, due to the internal contradictions between the children of the party family, and even more so for their respective branches to compete for the family, but they can also support each other.
However, the relationship between their brothers is very good, and they both serve as battalion commanders in the 46th Brigade Town, which belongs to the kind of blood-supported relationship.
He took advantage of the fact that there was no siege and went out, regrouped his troops, and annihilated three Xia army ranger troops in a row. Wandering around the encirclement for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to find a weak point, hoping to open a way and rescue the main force.
He also made an attempt to divide the Ma army into two ways to fight and make a tentative attack on the Xia army's encirclement.
However, the Xia army had an army of 70,000, and the Song army was surrounded like an iron bucket, and with his hundreds of horse troops, he had no chance to kill through the encirclement, so he could only retreat helplessly.
At this time, he looked at the main battlefield not far away, and his resolute face looked solemn, and his two thick eyebrows were tightly locked, revealing a deep anxiety.
It's already sunset, everything that should be done has been done, he can't take hundreds of brothers to make senseless sacrifices, it's worth it for people to die, it's not good that he sent a distress signal at the first time, hoping that the follow-up troops can receive it, but I don't know what the life and death of my brother is
"My lord, there is a team of horses due south."
Dang Yi immediately looked south, but saw that there was not much dust and smoke in the southern sky, there should only be a few hundred horsemen, it may be the vanguard of reinforcements, and there are also horse troops in the 52nd Brigade Town, he really hopes that it is reinforcements.
After a little hesitation, he immediately ordered the whole battalion to assemble, divide into three teams and retreat south, if the reinforcements are then converged, if the enemy is killed, it is already the last moment, and it is worth it to give the enemy the maximum damage.
As the horse camp galloped southward, he didn't feel very good, and faintly saw that the dust and smoke raised in the southern sky were by no means something that hundreds of horsemen could lift.
couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart, he was not afraid, as a general, he was responsible for the lives of hundreds of robes, and there must be no sloppiness. Just when he was more than a thousand paces, he asked the horse army camp to form a formation and wait for the other party to arrive.
"What is it, what is the military number?"
Four or five cavalrymen in crimson red uniforms and black lacquered mountain armor galloped forward, vigilantly wandering at a distance of twenty paces and questioning.
Dang Yi can understand the other party's vigilance, who can tell who you are on the battlefield, even if you are wearing your own armor, he shouted: "The commander of the left battalion of the 46th Brigade Town Horse Army, the captain of the Imperial Insult Dang Yan, which forbidden army are you waiting for" It is clearly the grizzly bear crescent white vest of the 52nd Brigade Town, but what should be asked is still to ask, anything can happen on the battlefield.
"It turned out that I was the commander, and I was waiting for the 52nd Brigade to explore the horses in the Zhenma military camp, I don't know what is going on ahead" A middle-aged general's expression relaxed.
"Captain Lian was surrounded, and asked Captain Li to rescue him quickly." The party is in a hurry, and the rescue of the soldiers is like fighting a fire, and there must be no delay.
Li Shifu, the commander of the 52nd Brigade and Town, has heard of it, a very famous general in the Western Army, and he has been praised by Wang Xiu.
The brigade town is known to be equipped with crossbow chariots, and at the beginning of the formation of a horse battalion, four chariot battalions, two baggage battalions, and an infantry battalion, with chariots as the core, horse military battalions and infantry battalions as the support of the troops, it is also a brigade town directly under the Western Servant Army, but it belongs to the level of the middle brigade, and its status is lower than that of the 46th brigade town.
Chariots, this thing is really an obsolete thing, and the generals all understand that they use baggage chariots to line up, and they have to do it as a last resort, which almost means that the shape is very critical, but it is not the first choice for war.
