Chapter 626: Zombie Siege: The Rise of Dragoons
"Everyone, it's time to take it slow. At the next military meeting, I will give you tactical guidance. At about the same time, Yang Xiaoshuang held a centralized meeting and said this to the leader of the Young People's Army.
But it was useless, after only one day, one of the Shaomin United took the lead in attacking, and the others followed suit.
At this point, Yang Xiaoshuang was very helpless, so he had to follow. Rapidly advancing to the Siming and Siling areas, most of the lost territory has been regained, and at the same time, the Shaomin Coalition Army encountered the first head-on attack of the Jiaozhi Army, and unfortunately encountered the "war elephant troops" of the Jiaozhi Army.
The scale was not very large, more than 3,000 Cochin troops followed, with about 40 war elephants in front, they were equipped with a coulter-like thing on the noses of the trained war elephants, and the war elephants flicked their noses from side to side, just within a valley, causing casualties and internal stampedes of the Shaomin coalition army.
"Retreat! Fall back! Don't send to death, don't fight hard! Pay attention to order, otherwise the more chaotic the situation, the slower the retreat! The more people will die! ”
Under the situation of the horse being frightened and kicking, Yang Xiaoshuang commanded the envoy to shout wildly on the high ground in the rear. But after the chaos has already arisen, it has little effect on such an unorganized and undisciplined formation.
This is the reason why Lu Huiqing did not turn the Song Army's 300 dragoons into the commander of the coalition army, because it was useless, and unless there was enough training and adaptation process, it was equivalent to the "300 dragoons" who had no attack.
"General. We can't save these mallets, let's retreat and rethink our strategy. When facing war elephants, our war horses are not too easy to control, and it is estimated that something will happen. There is no way to undo it. An adjutant suggested Yang Xiaoshuangdao.
As a member of the guards in the Funing Army back then, Yang Xiaoshuang, who was very tough, always observed the battle situation from a high place, and Shaoqing shook his head slightly: "No, the casualties are incalculable if it goes on like this, and the Supreme Instruction of the Great Demon King: Don't ignore them, don't stand by and watch their mistakes." They were wrong, but they believed us and organized a bloody war of resistance among the young people. If you stand by and watch the hearts of the people, the cohesion will be dispersed after this battle. This is definitely not the will of Lu Huiqing. ”
"Ready for battle! No matter what, we must find a way to contain the war elephants and buy time for the roundabout retreat of the Young People's Alliance! ”
As soon as this came, only one battalion of Song troops stood up and mounted one after another. Fortunately, these horses are not very explosive, but they are Dian horses, and these horses are less cold to war elephants, and they are not as panicked as the horses in the eastern region.
"Rush!"
At this moment, the trumpet of the charge sounded, and the Song army, which was supposed to retreat, instead began to charge from the flank of the high ground towards the war elephant army of the Jiaozhi people.
At this time, the first-line Shaomin coalition army in the valley was still chaotic, but some of the Shaomin troops who had withdrawn in advance were stunned
Shouting "slow" before the start of the battle, the seemingly cowardly Song army actually charged at this time when everyone was crying to each other, trampling on each other, and running for their lives?
Before this, everyone thought that the melody of their military horns was really undeniable, and only now did they understand that this is called discipline and courage, and they deserved the prestige of the three hundred dragoons.
Some of the young people who had evacuated Kamikochi saw with their own eyes that the 300 cavalry of the Song army took the initiative to enter the narrow valley, and began to detour around the edge, constantly gathering fire at the war elephants from the flanks, limited by distance and limited to the power of flintlock pistols, unable to penetrate elephant skins, but able to attract the attention of the elephant herd to a certain extent.
In this way, the cochin tamer kept directing the elephant to advance, but the elephant was always distracted by the fire, and the old elephant was reflexive, so as if it was schizophrenic, but it also slowed down the elephant's advance, and won some buffer time for the retreat of the young people army at the narrow valley pass.
"Stay mobile, don't stay, keep going roundabout! Straight to the people's army to withdraw from Guzikou! "Wandering around while releasing guns on a limited position, Yang Xiaoshuang just gave such an order.
"General! It can't go on like this, the elephants are sluggish, the Cochins are infantry, but they are numerous, and their bows and arrows are also a great threat to our army. The depth here is limited, it lasts too long, and once the depth is sealed by their infantry, we are dead! The adjutant admonished again.
"Then don't be surrounded! Is there a way to snipe the Cochin Man Animal Tamer? Yang Xiaoshuang asked again.
"It's hard, they hide behind the elephants for cover, it's too far away to hit!" The adjutant made such a tactical prediction.
Yang Xiaoshuang was slightly stunned, and Shaoqing said: "Hold off the gun, load all the ammunition as preparations, and wait for new tactical opportunities!" ”
After the order was given, Yang Xiaoshuang began to accelerate, "Follow my footsteps, accelerate along the edge area, in the opposite direction towards the valley mouth, make the pace that we want to 'break through the battlefield in reverse', and wait for the reaction of the Jiaozhi people." ”
Seeing that the Shaomin army had withdrawn a lot, and after the unconventional action of the Song army, the first thought of the Jiaozhi army was: the Song army wanted to run.
"Go up, go up, surround and die, you can't let this Song cavalry run away!"
At this point, the Jiaozhi people were not slow to respond, and the Jiaozhi army in the rear did not step forward after seeing the command of the military flag, and began to spread rapidly to the side, trying to use the terrain to completely block the cavalry squad of the Song army.
"Here's the opportunity, follow my steps and don't fall behind, turn to the direction of the target group to maneuver, this is a certain risk, but it is also an opportunity to take advantage of their dispersal period to take out most of the animal trainers in one round!"
Taking advantage of the mobility of the cavalry and the lag of the Jiaozhi infantry, Yang Xiaoshuang led the team to make a sharp turn and assault towards the elephant herd in the central area.
"It worked! Damn it, three hundred dragoons, they succeeded! ”
Many of the retreating Shaomin soldiers saw with their own eyes on the high ground that the Song army had really broken into the most dangerous centerland, and after killing most of the animal trainers in one round of fire, the already impatient elephant herd went berserk, regardless of whether it was a Jiaozhi person or someone else, but anyone who was nearby was swept away by the elephants.
"Crazy, crazy, elephants! the boys, run too! ”
The nearby Jiaozhi infantry knew that this was an opportunity to surround and kill the Song cavalry, but the Song cavalry was not large, and they could use their mobility to make a detour near the elephant.
"Interspersed with breakouts, there is no other way!"
Yang Xiaoshuang continued to take the lead in rushing towards the herd, sprinting and firing his guns to attract the herd of elephants.
With the help of such an opportunity, as long as the Shaomin Alliance Army is still alive, it has basically successfully withdrawn from the valley.
The defeated Shaomin coalition army couldn't care about their own injuries, they were all shocked, and watched the Song cavalry break through in a roundabout way in the crazy elephant herd on the high ground, some succeeded, but some failed and died.
Behind is the valley and thousands of Jiaozhi people, so the Song army has no other way, only one go.
In the end, with nearly 20% of the battle losses and the Song army sacrificing more than 60 people, they also successfully crossed the elephant herd position and retreated to the high ground.
"Dragoon...... Dragoon ...... Dragoon Ride Dragoon! ”
The remaining 9,000 young people coalition army worshiped and was ashamed, and after someone took the lead in raising their hands and shouting, they brought a warm trend on the high ground, so far they really obeyed.
The expressions of the Song soldiers were different, but none of them spoke.
Yang Xiaoshuang didn't care about this trend, but looked indifferently at the elephant herd in the canyon after going crazy and calming down on the high ground, and muttered: "There is a first time, there is a second time, we have to find a way to kill these damn elephants, I have a hunch, next time we will encounter more war elephant army." ”
A deeply ashamed young man came out and said: "Don't worry, general, we have the means to deal with war elephants, but we are panicked because of insufficient preparation this time." In fact, as long as you wear a ghost mask, accompanied by fire and smoke, you can restrain the war elephant. ”
Yang Xiaoshuang said coldly: "Nonsense, this is the old yellow calendar hundreds of years ago. If it's that simple, then why do I need 300 dragons to ride into Quang Nam? In the actual battle this time, I found that these war elephants were more difficult to deal with than I imagined, and after special training, even if they were set on fire by flintlock pistols, they did not mess up, even if the death of the animal tamer caused them to go crazy, but with their eyes open, now they quickly recovered their emotions and retreated with the cochins. The world is changing with each passing day, which means that the taming technology of animals is being upgraded, and the methods of dealing with it must also be upgraded. ”
"That's what the general said." Several young leaders looked more and more ashamed, and said again: "I heard that our Great Song Dynasty has a more ferocious artifact called the fire dragon, if the general can apply for a batch, the war elephant can be broken." ”
Yang Xiaoshuang thought about it and shook his head: "The fire dragon is easy to apply, but as long as the field unit has a demand, it will definitely be able to get it." The problem is that there is no one, only the Song army can operate the fire dragon, and my 300 cavalry is all the support of Quang Nam. There is no fire dragon, and even if there is, a battalion is only a few gates, and it is impossible to have a great effect on the war elephant cluster. ”
"How is this good?" The Young People's Alliance looked at each other and became embarrassed......
Delayed until late October, Quang Nam was dominated by overall military discipline, and at the same time, Yang Xiaoshuang continued to send scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the Jiaozhi army, and intelligence showed that the Jiaozhi army was still mainly defensive, and a larger army of war elephants was assembled in the Lang Son generation.
The defeat of the Lang Son position of the Jiaozhi Army is a top priority, and it is to cooperate with Lu Huiqing's policy of economic strategy and Thang Long Fu, which is time-limited, and the current Lu Huiqing's aura is not ordinarily strong.
However, at the same time, Yang Xiaoshuang's hanging heart also fell, and at this time, a military document forwarded by Lu Huiqing was sent to Yang Xiaoshuang's hands: the Pennsylvania Air Force Base has been completed, the first batch of tactical bombers have been stationed in Pennsylvania, and the Air Force can provide tactical support to Yang Xiaoshuang's troops under certain conditions.
The so-called specific conditions, now communication and navigation do not have a good solution. This requires Yang Xiaoshuang to work out a specific combat time of a quarter of an hour according to his own situation, and must put enough smoke signals into the enemy's positions as the "guidance" of the tactical air force. The two sides must work closely together.
And there is also the possibility of failure of cooperation, which requires running-in, and Air Force pilots are complete recruits.
Based on this, Yang Xiaoshuang made a decision and ordered: "With the honor of the Guangxi Shuaisi War Department, the Pennsylvania Air Force is invited to conduct the first joint exercise between the two armies in the Qianlong area in three days, and launch a general attack on the Langshan position in seven days." As long as the tactical air force does not drop the chain, my 300 dragoons will be able to fight to Thang Long Mansion within the scheduled time, fully cooperate with the confidence of the Great Song Dynasty, and provide morale for the decisive battle of the army in the Northeast! Boost morale for the Royal Navy's Pacific campaign! ”
"Yes!"
The heralds hurried to Wangu, because the telegraph line only led to Wangu, but fortunately, it was much faster to get from here to Wangu than to Penn.
Thinking about it, I was excited, the first assist of the Great Song Tactical Air Force, the pilot was Quang Nam. The big devil said that he would let Guangxi be self-reliant, but in fact, it was taken care of, and the first batch of tactical air forces had now been deployed to Pennsylvania, and such execution was powerful.
The Shaomin army has not obtained this information for the time being, and is afraid that it will cause passivity after the leakage of secrets. It is true that the fire dragon they envisioned at the time would not participate in the war, but when the time comes, they will appreciate the power of the fire god.
Yes, the code name Vulcan of the first generation of tactical bombers. But the "Demon King" continues to crawl, and there is news that they named the first generation of strategic bombers "Demon King", but now there are still many technical problems that have not been solved.
What's even more awesome is that the first generation of breech guns was sent to Guangxi to let Yang Xiaoshuangbu change his outfit because of the small batch, and the bull was very awesome, but after hearing that it was made by Ye Wushuang's factory, the three hundred dragoons were like the bottom of the pot, and they were worried about what to do if it was a pit?
To this day, Ye Wushuang's Northwest Investment Bank is still very famous, and it is considered a top enterprise in many fields.
It's just that the main officers of Yang Xiaoshuang's troops were all from the Funing Army, and the Funing Army was stationed in Funing County at that time.
Therefore, the preconceived concept makes the people of the Funing military department always regard the Northwest Investment Bank as a copycat. But in fact, there is no big problem after testing, it is very easy to use, and the combat efficiency has been greatly improved.
What's even worse is that I heard that the fixed ammunition was made by Cao Ji, Yang Xiaoshuang wanted to cry and faint in the toilet, so it seems that the army is really raised by the mother, and the shells for Mao's navy are produced by the Industrial Department and are copper shells?
Yang Xiaoshuang, who is a good hand at fighting, didn't figure out these trivial issues for two days, and he was still struggling with whether to change his clothes, he was really afraid of paper bullet shells. If one of your teammates blew themselves up with a bullet in their arms, it would be a big problem.
If there is such a breech gun in the last game and the Battle of Yongping Valley, then even if the Shaomin Alliance Army is instigated, Yang Xiaoshuang will dare to fight with three hundred cavalry and two thousand Jiaozhi troops under the mixing of war elephants, and the cost will be even lower than that of interspersed war elephant positions.
"Will you cheat on your father, do you want to change your clothes, general, what do you think?" The adjutant is also from the Funing Army and is very worried about this.
"Accept your fate, change your equipment, fighting a war is a very face-saving thing. The big demon king personally caught this matter, and the two cottage factories should not dare to play tricks. The quality won't be very good, but the pit daddy shouldn't be. Also, I heard that negative and negative are positive, what do you think? ”
Yang Xiaoshuang could only sigh, and the Amway team members changed their clothes......
