Chapter 207: Ming Army Infantry Cavalry vs Tile Thorn Cavalry
Chapter 207 Ming Army Infantry Cavalry VS Tile Thorn Cavalry
Cheng Guogong's status is precious, although this big defeat, Cheng Guogong's fate will not be easy. But Chengguo Gong is the leader of Jingnan after all.
How much his latent power is, people like Yang Hong who have been in the army know too well.
Even if Cheng Guogong is bad, this force will not be uprooted. So if Yang Hong knew the news of Cheng Guogong and Cheng Guogong was already dead, then that's fine.
Now that you know the news, even if you are pretending, you have to save it.
What's more, Yang Hong also wanted to find out the strength of the tile spur cavalry, what was the reason why the elite of the Beijing camp could sink into the sand.
Yang Hong always wants to get to the bottom.
As the so-called art masters are bold.
Yang Hong is such a person, but his boldness is not nonsense, it is based on his experience in fighting horses. He could see that the remnants of the Ming army were demoralized, but the people of the Tile Spur Headquarters were not much better.
What is the Tile Thorn attached to the tribe is the point of waving the flag and shouting, and the one who can really fight is the four Vetra headed by Queros.
The Tile Thorn itself is a combination of four Weitra tribal alliances, and the total total is only a hundred thousand elites.
Therefore, the ones who can really fight a tough battle with the Ming army are just these hundreds of thousands of elite horsemen.
In this great war, no matter how many tribal followers died, in Yexian's mind, these tribal soldiers were cannon fodder, and they did not need to be counted in the casualties at all.
The Tile Spur Elite has already suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
It doesn't seem like much, but for the Shingles, it's a lot.
This kind of repeated conquest, the tile spur cavalry is also tired a lot, starting from Jining Haizi, almost non-stop to fight, the tile spur soldiers are also tired, without repairing for a few days, it is impossible to recover the original combat effectiveness.
And the Tile Thorn people seem to have forgotten that if the cavalry really hedged, were the Ming cavalry afraid of the Tile Thorn cavalry?
Therefore, Yang Hong dared to bring 30,000 cutting-edge divisions to outnumber. As soon as the fight began, it was like a pendant, piercing deep into the tile spur cavalry.
The Tile Thorn cavalry was taken aback, and those who were defeated for a while wanted to retreat, and the cavalry behind wanted to rush over. It is precisely the organizational chaos that has not yet been sorted out.
And Yang Hong saw his goal and went straight to the place where Chengguo Gong was.
Cheng Guogong has no horses, he is trapped on a small hill with hundreds of soldiers, he is holding a big flag in one hand, this is not his handsome flag, his handsome flag does not know where to fold. Cheng Guogong picked up a big flag from the side again.
The other hand, holding a long sword, is the Heavenly Sword.
This long sword, as expected, is a divine weapon, extremely sharp, at this moment has saved Chengguo Gong several times, the blade of the tile spur cavalry, one sword and two breaks, even stabbing people, can also break through the armor.
Of course, this is also because although Cheng Guogong is not physically strong, he is still a general, and he is also very skilled in the use of various weapons. Having this long sword can save him a lot of effort.
What was not necessarily possible to do with ten percent of one's strength before, can be done with fifty percent of one's strength at this moment.
And several times the blades are connected, the general blades have to roll or open the gap, but the Yitian Sword is only at the junction, there is a sense of suddenness, you can't feel it if you don't taste it, as long as you polish it carefully, it will recover.
As for the soldiers under Chengguo Gong, that is, the corpses of horses and people are piled up on the ground, forming an obstacle, if the tile spur cavalry attacked, they could only fight with them.
This is also the reason why Chengguo Gong was able to persist until this time.
Seeing this, Yang Hong immediately turned over and dismounted, came to Chengguo Gong, and said: "The last general Yang Hong is here to pick up Guogong, the soldiers here are in danger, please follow Guogong and his subordinates." ”
Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong looked at Yang Hong's gaze, a little complicated.
Cheng Guogong said: "Why do you come to save me, I am a sinner of the country." Why do you have to sacrifice your son for me? ”
Yang Hong said: "Guogong, the last general will save the country, not for anything else, but for the dignity of the country, the war has come to this point, we don't know how to explain to the world, do you want to let the tile spur have one more record of killing the Ming Guogong." ”
"But where is my Ming face?"
Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong was silent for a while, smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "I can't die casually if I want to die." He said, "Let's go." ”
Immediately, more than 100 war horses came out of the army to protect Chengguo Gong in the core, and Yang Hong rushed all the way south with his men and horses.
Before, because of the chaos between the tile spurs themselves, Yang Hong was caught off guard.
But at this moment, if the tile spur does not react again, it will be too damaging to the demeanor of the tile spur country.
Therefore, it is easy for Yang Hong to come in and difficult to get out.
The tile spur soldiers pressed over in two ways, Yang Hong did not panic at all, and fought and retreated. Tumbling all the way to the south.
Before all, it was very difficult for the cavalry to besiege the cavalry.
It's the same now, although it looks dangerous, but Yang Hong responded calmly and killed to the south step by step. I don't know how many rounds I rushed, and suddenly I heard the cannon in front of me, one after another, and the tile spur cavalry in front suddenly dispersed, but it was the Ming army formation that was waiting for it.
Seeing Yang Hong come back, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and several partial box trucks immediately pulled away, releasing a passage, allowing Yang Hong to take the cavalry of his headquarters into the military formation.
Yang Hong's gaze swept over the entire military formation. There was a secret sense of admiration in my heart. I have to admit that although he feels that his ability may not be below Wuxing, but in terms of arranging troops, Yang Hong feels that he is not as old as Wuxing.
Now the Ming army is a phalanx.
Originally, on both sides of the foot soldiers escorted the baggage side of the box car, the part is outside, become the first obstacle, between the side box car and the side box car, some are connected together with iron cables, just like the city wall, some are vacant between each other, where there is a vacancy outside the box car has a phalanx of firearms.
The firecrackers lined up outside, and the firecrackers mixed with small cannons were ready to be activated at all times.
Once the Tile Thorn cavalry rushes over, they are responsible for the first wave of damage, and then immediately retreat into the phalanx through the gap, and then there is the Odd Soldiers, which are also armed with cold weapons, and they come forward, with long spears and swords and shields like mountains, blocking the gap, and the firearms and artillery, which can also be on the side cart, continue to shoot outside.
Although there is no cannon that can bombard several miles, this infantry phalanx can be said to have no gaps.
What amazed Yang Hong was that it was not Wuxing who arranged this phalanx.
After all, this kind of arrangement is a common practice in the military, and even in martial arts, it is necessary to talk about basic tactics. What amazed Yang Hong was that when he sent troops to rescue Cheng Guogong, at that time, it was still a marching sequence, that is, there were partial box carts on both sides to prevent the cavalry from impacting, and the foot soldiers were hiding inside.
But in less than an hour or so, Wuxing arranged all this.
With this kind of formation change speed, Yang Hong thought to himself that he had to be in a hurry.
The whole phalanx is not in the right direction, but in a long shape adapted to local conditions, a little longer from north to south, a little narrower from east to west, and in the middle, there are several partial box cars put together a lookout, two people high, with a wooden shelf on it, which can accommodate one person to go up and look.
And at this moment, Wuxing is on it.
In this place, you can see all four directions. When he saw Cheng Guogong from a distance, he immediately came down, saluted and said, "The last general will pay a visit to Guogong." ”
Wuxing should have etiquette, there is still to be it. After all, before the imperial court officially ordered it, Chengguo Gong was always Cheng Guogong. It's just that the respect in the tone is gone.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only today's defeat, whether it is the defeat of Xu Daling North or the defeat of Qiu Fu, has not been so miserable. Xu Da just attacked unfavorably, the army still came back head and tail, and Qiu Fu just advanced lightly by himself, and the army did not die on the grassland.
Before, Wu Xing also felt that even if Cheng Guogong was defeated again, it would be impossible to lose too many soldiers and horses, so he knew that out of 150,000 people, only more than 30,000 people came back.
Wu Xing has been a veteran for a lifetime, how can he accept it, his circle of life is also in the army, it can be said that Wu Xing does not know how many children and nephews are in the army, and he can guarantee the most basic etiquette at this moment, which is already his temper.
Cheng Guogong said in a low voice: "Old General Wu, you can get ready." The Tile Thorn army was in the rear. ”
Wu Xing said: "I have been prepared for a long time. ”
