953. Mountain Warfare
As everyone knows, under the influence of Zhao Dongting, the Great Song Forbidden Army did not regard war horses as important as soldiers.
Although it is true that for cavalry, war horses are their partners, but war horses are war horses after all, and human life is human life after all.
Soldiers should cherish the war horse, but to regard the war horse as more important than their own life is to put the cart before the horse.
It wasn't until they saw the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty approaching the mountain like a cloud that the Dali army on the pass finally understood their intentions.
A general exclaimed: "They are trying to break through the mountains!" ”
Although the peaks on both sides of Jiumao Pass are dangerous, they are not impossible to climb.
With the exclamation of the general, the Dali generals around him all changed color in an instant.
Immediately, after the generals hurriedly discussed, a Dali general led his subordinates to the mountains.
They also came with a lot of thunder.
Just because the military composition is quite mixed, it is naturally unlikely that they will be as condensed as the Great Song Iron Cavalry. It seems to be a confluence, but in fact, it is still independent.
Under the command of Feng Hebi, it was composed of 20,000 troops from Shanju County, 30,000 troops from Shicheng County, 30,000 troops from Jianchang Prefecture, 10,000 troops from Dongchuan County and Huichuan Prefecture, and 10,000 Dali forbidden troops. The military horses of these counties have their main generals, and their subordinates are composed of soldiers from various departments, and each has its own commander. Mo said that it was the temporary united front commander who was sent to guard Jiumao Pass, even if he was sealed and provoked the displeasure of those tribal generals, he might not be able to command them.
It was good that the main general guarding Jiumao Pass could command these guys to go to the mountains to resist the Song army, but as for how to fight during the battle, it was really not something he could control.
And under the various factors that heavy firearms cannot make a contribution, and the armies are doing their own thing. This battle made the Great Song Forbidden Army create a miracle.
After Shi Kangsheng, Gu Junying and others led the army to Deshanli, they continued to the west, and encountered the Dali army in a short time.
Gunfire rang out in the mountains.
The Dali army did not have such a divine object as the dragon gun, although it was several times the strength of the Great Song Forbidden Army, but after the confrontation, it was quickly defeated and retreated.
Except for the grenadiers, there were very few other things that could pose a threat to the Great Song Forbidden Army. This made their losses far greater than those of the Great Song Forbidden Army.
There was a raging flame spreading through the mountains.
In this dry summer, the forest is so easy to ignite.
This makes the whole mountain even more chaotic.
The Dali army was beaten to the point of crying and crying for the mother.
In a short time, the army was completely defeated and retreated to Jiumao Pass. And the master of Jiumao Pass watched this scene, and he could only be anxious.
Two hundred hot air balloons soared up the mountain. But this did not stop the spread of gunfire in the mountains.
Shi Kangsheng and the others led the fight from below to above, and suddenly found that the Dali army in the mountains was much easier to deal with than they imagined.
These stragglers are really just like chickens and dogs under the dragon's gun.
After tasting the sweetness, they simply did not lead the army to break through directly to the west. Instead, he fought with the Dali army in this mountain.
The tide of battle turned dramatically.
Originally, the Dali army swore here that they wanted to block the Great Song Forbidden Army, but at this moment, many troops were being chased by the Great Song Forbidden Army.
The dragon made them suffer.
I don't know how many Dali military horses were lost in this deep mountain.
And it was under such circumstances that Jin Hancai led the exterminating army, as well as the Fourth Light Cavalry Regiment of the Tiangu Army, which was fighting with him in Chenxi, also rushed to this Jiumao Pass.
They did not meet the scouts sent by Gu Junying, and led the army from here to return to Zhenxi Village, which can be said to be a coincidence.
After rushing to the pass, they heard the sound of guns and cannons in the deep mountains, and looked at the billowing smoke, and they were all slightly stunned. Immediately reacted.
This must be a robe that is breaking through.
The Dali army occupies Jiumao Pass, and they can also see it.
And the sound of the dragon is unique to the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
Immediately, Jin Hancai and the others did not hesitate, but also abandoned their horses one after another, and led the army to the mountain to kill.
Although they stayed awake all night, they were undoubtedly a new force at this time.
When they arrived in the mountains to gather with Shi Kangsheng and others, this made the Great Song Forbidden Army unstoppable.
More and more Dali troops retreated to Jiumao Pass.
The entire mountain was gradually dominated by the Great Song Forbidden Army.
The ratio of casualties between the two sides is staggering.
Although there were also people in the Great Song Forbidden Army who died under the thunder of the Dali Army, there were definitely not many of them.
This made the Dali master who had to guard the Jiumao Pass completely annoyed.
As more and more of the rout retreated into the pass, and he could see that the Song army was spreading to this side, he was probably so angry that he let the artillery cart fire at the mountain.
When you land, countless thunderbolts fell into the mountains.
Then there is the hot air balloon in the sky, which has the meaning of leveling this mountain.
This is indeed blocking Shi Kangsheng and them.
Although the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army has armor, it is also flesh and blood, and it is impossible to block the thunder with its body.
Seeing that the artillery fire of the Dali army was so dense, Shi Kangsheng and others no longer circulated, and led the army to cross the mountains and continue to move west.
At this moment, there is no breakthrough or no breakthrough, because except for those Dali army hot air balloons in the air, there is no Dali army in front of them at all.
That's how they went over the mountains.
In Jiumao Pass, the master of Dali caused a lot of trouble.
When he gave the order to open fire, some of the tribesmen were still retreating towards Jiumao Pass. The shells were not long-sighted, and many of them actually fell into their army.
The brothers under his command were killed by the army of Dali, who can bear this?
After a general led the crowd back to the pass, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately turned against the main general.
And as more and more of the defeated troops hit by artillery fire converged on the pass, the unrest gradually became unstoppable.
After all, there are Dali sabers facing each other in Jiumao Pass. The bombardment just now is afraid that it will hook up the new and old hatreds in their hearts.
In the past, these soldiers of various departments may not have seen that they had not fought. Before Duan Xingzhi intimidated the entire Dali, the various tribes in Dali turned their faces in order to compete for interests.
Shi Kangsheng and the others did not kill on the Jiumao Pass, but the Dali army on the Jiumao Pass killed each other.
And because this main general is not a feudal combination, nor is it Duan Shi, his status in Dali is not too high, and he can't suppress the army, which makes the chaos gradually spread.
In the end, the fight continued from Jiumao Pass to Guannai.
The armies of Dali rushed to kill each other, and the chaos was not in shape. More and more people are falling in pools of blood, and the hatred is getting deeper and deeper.
It's a pity that Shi Kangsheng and others have already led the army far away at this time. Otherwise, if he led the army to rush back at this time, the Jiumao Pass would almost be self-defeating.
When they were about to get out of the mountain, they saw that the Dali hot air balloon was still in the sky, so they simply did not run out of the mountain. In the mountains, the armies scattered to their own devices.
Seeing Song Jun like this, the hot air balloon in the sky knew that there was no point in blowing it up again, so he had to turn back to Jiumao Pass.
And after they returned to Jiumao Pass, they were stunned when they saw the mess in the pass. The following armies come from all over the world, and they don't know who to help.
Almost at the same time.
Yang Kanglong's Frost Regiment, as well as the Third Light Cavalry Regiment of the Tiangui Army and the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment of the Tiangu Army rushed to Luoxian Pass, which was more than ten miles away from Jiumao Pass.
The situation of this Luoxian Pass is similar to that of Jiumao Pass.
The Dali army has already deployed heavy troops here.
In fact, Yang Kanglong and others originally planned to return to Zhenxi Village from Jiumao Pass, which was discussed before departure. came here, but because he was driven by the Dali army that went out of the city from all counties.
Their situation is naturally much more dangerous than that of Shi Kangsheng and others. It is really that there are tigers in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and the troops are far less than Shi Kangsheng and them.
Outside the pass, I saw that the Dali army was heavily defended. The faces of Yang Kanglong and the other generals were all a little ugly.
It's hard to break the level!
It is also difficult to rush back and kill and fight with the Dali army behind!
In the end, Yang Kanglong and other generals did not choose to break through like Shi Kangsheng did. Instead, he turned around and headed towards Jiumao Pass.
They didn't see Shi Kangsheng, Yin Yongning and the rest of the army here, so they knew that they must have returned to the village from Jiumao Pass as originally planned.
Although it is not easy to rush to Jiumao Pass at this time, it is much better than forcibly breaking through the level and fighting with the Dali chasing soldiers behind.
Yang Kanglong and the others thought that as long as they could get together with the army of Shi Kangsheng and others, and the Zongjiumao Pass was also guarded by the Dali army, they might also be able to break through.
