863. Iron Cavalry Charges
It's close.
It's close.
With this noisy dust, the cavalry of the Yuan army got closer and closer to the military formation of the Tiansu army.
In the end, he stopped at a place about two hundred meters away from the Tiansu Army.
It's a very particular distance.
In the field, the longest-range weapon in the army does not come from the ballista. And the effective range of the ballista is only two to three hundred meters.
The generals of the Yuan army are afraid that Mo is also inertial thinking. As everyone knows, the Great Song Dynasty army has already abandoned the use of cold weapons such as crossbow cars.
After all, although the ballista has a long range, it is too bulky and not suitable for flexible combat. In comparison, the grenadier is undoubtedly a hundred times stronger than the ballista.
More and more Yuan soldiers appeared on the official road.
They are out of the city to pursue, and naturally they will not carry heavy cold weapons such as ballistas.
Looking at the bunker with stones in front of the Tiansu Army, the face of the general at the forefront looked a little ugly.
Although the hastily piled up bunkers of the Song army did not look very solid, they would always affect the charge of his iron cavalry to a greater or lesser extent.
And the killer weapon of their Yuan army is the charge of the iron cavalry.
In the face of the Song army, it is only in this way that it is possible to win. If it is a competition for firearms, it is completely looking for abuse.
The horse slashed its front hooves restlessly.
The two armies are fighting each other.
After a few minutes, He Chenghua suddenly shouted loudly in front of the Yuan army: "Hey, if you don't attack again, Lao Tzu will leave." ”
The sound of laughter sounded in the Tiansu Army.
The face of the chief general of the Yuan army was even more ugly.
Of course he wanted to attack, but whenever he thought of Song Jun's firearms, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to gnaw on this hard bone.
It is no longer the era when their Yuan army is invincible.
At this moment, this general named Du Lei even regretted that he only led these 30,000 soldiers to pursue. It's just that they hurried into the city, but they couldn't mobilize more people.
Until now, there are still many soldiers escorting grain, grass, ordnance, etc., and they have not been stationed in Songxi County.
After looking at each other with the two captains on the side, Du Lei said, "Two, are we going to attack or not?" ”
Although he was a temporary commander-in-chief, the status of the two captains next to him in the army was not below him. At this moment, Du Lei is afraid that Mo also has the idea of sharing the pressure.
As long as you have asked the meaning of these two commanders, even if it is not good to fight with the Song army at that time, it will not be only him Dulei who needs to be held responsible.
And these two captains are not out of the ordinary, there is a different color in their eyes, and they instantly understand what Du Lei means.
Fighting well in this battle is a military feat. If you don't fight well, it's a sin.
But there was still a commander in silver armor who said: "Our army has pursued here, and if we go back like this, we will be punished by the commander." ”
This is nothing, more than 30,000 of them came out to pursue the Song army, and if they retreat like this, they will be laughed at by the whole world.
The other captain said, "Why don't we test the temptation for the time being." ”
Du Lei, who was five big and three thick, nodded lightly.
He didn't plan to let the two captains go to the top of this temptation, and directly ordered: "Iron cavalry in the army, prepare to charge!" ”
The ratio of cavalry in the Yuan army was the highest in the army of this era, and half of the army was cavalry. Even if Zhao Dongting exerted all the strength of the whole country, he only allowed the cavalry in the forbidden army and the garrison military region to reach this ratio. Raising cavalry is more resource-intensive than raising foot soldiers. Of course, for the Great Song Dynasty, what is more difficult to get is the war horse.
About 5,000 cavalry in the Dulei army slowly advanced more than ten meters.
Flags fluttered in the army. There are not a few generals in armor.
"Huh?"
He Chenghua watched the Yuan army in the position, but thousands of iron horsemen stepped forward, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
He could see that the Yuan army did not intend to launch a general attack directly.
He immediately ordered: "Order the battalion of mine-guides and grenadiers, and do not give orders not to move." ”
The heralds on the side didn't care so much, they just ran down to give orders.
Next to He Chenghua, there was a general wearing ink armor who looked quite bookish and said, "Old He, are you planning to show the enemy weakness first?" ”
Judging from his tone, it is obvious that he has a very good relationship with He Chenghua.
This person is Du Yuhou in the Tiansu Army, named Zhou Zhangqiang, who was originally a think-tank-level figure in the She People's Volunteer Army.
Since the restructuring of Zhao Dongting's army, each forbidden army has set up a chief and deputy commander, Du Yuhou, the chief and deputy army commanders are in charge of the war, and Du Yuhou is equivalent to a political commissar, in charge of life, logistics and so on.
In fact, all the people in the army are scholars, because managing logistics is really not something that those reckless men can do.
Hearing Zhou Zhangqiang's words, He Chenghua just chuckled: "What if you fight too hard and scare them away directly?" ”
Naturally, his target was not just a few thousand cavalry.
When Wen Tianxiang ordered them to abandon Songxi and Zhenghe, he emphasized that they would beat the Yuan army. Only in this way could the Yuan army directly launch a decisive battle.
Zhou Zhangqiang also showed a smile next to him.
He Chenghua shouted again: "Aim!" Get ready to shoot! ”
"Hit!"
The yellow dust was rolling in front of him, and when the Yuan army was only a few dozen meters away from the army formation, He Chenghua shouted.
Dense gunshots rang out.
The front row of soldiers of the Yuan army's iron cavalry were shot one after another and fell off their horses.
But the army behind still rushed towards the Song army's position one after another.
"Larley!"
The Yuan army that was waiting for the front was only ten meters away from the military formation, and He Chenghua shouted again.
The soldier who led the thunder suddenly pulled the lead in his hand.
Rumbling thunder.
Dust spreads.
The front instantly became a mess.
The Yuan army was afraid that thousands of iron horsemen were shrouded in this explosion, and people turned on their backs, and flesh and blood flew sideways.
In the back, Du Lei and the others just watched this scene coldly.
They knew more or less about the depth of the Song army, and naturally understood that it was impossible for the Song army to only use the Divine Dragon Gun for defense.
Perhaps even the thunderstorm was already in their expectation. And for this loss, Du Lei and the others are naturally mentally prepared.
"Blow the trumpet!"
Seeing that the dust and smoke in front of him gradually obscured his vision, Du Lei just ordered.
The trumpet of the Yuan army sounded.
The iron cavalry of the Yuan army, which had been flustered because of the explosion, regrouped and rushed forward again.
"Throw thunder!"
He Chenghua ordered again.
But he never intended to let the grenadier battalion fire.
The thunderbolts were thrown out by the Song army.
The losses of the Yuan army's iron cavalry were even heavier.
However, there were people in the Yuan army who ran the thunderbolt into the Song army's position.
This made the Song army also suffer a little loss.
The official road was so wide that it could only accommodate about five or six horses charging side by side. It doesn't look like this fight will end so soon.
Du Lei and others see hope.
With 5,000 iron cavalry alone, they had already rushed to the front of the Song army's position, posing a threat to the Song army's large array. Their army of more than 30,000 people seems to be able to completely eat this Song army.
Although, that is bound to come at a great cost.
But what is that?
Du Lei knew very well in his heart that even if he let more than half of the 30,000 soldiers die in order to destroy the Song Kingdom's Tiansu Army, the boss would definitely praise himself and would not scold himself.
After all, how many soldiers did the Yuan Dynasty have, and how many forbidden troops did the Song State have?
The difference in combat effectiveness between the two armies is also clear to these generals of the Yuan Dynasty.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Du Lei said to the two captains beside him: "The two generals are also ready to let the cavalry charge!" Destroy the Tiansu Army, and the boss will have a heavy reward. ”
There was a slight glint in the eyes of the two captains.
Du Lei can see it, and of course they can see it.
The gunfire continued.
The former official road of the Song army's position has been bombed into potholes, but the Yuan army's iron cavalry is still spreading forward.
Some even directly attacked the positions of the Song army.
But Du Lei and the others may not have noticed that even if their soldiers rushed to the position, the Song army did not show much panic.
The soldiers still just methodically fired their guns and threw mines.
This made the five thousand iron cavalry of the Yuan army, which took the lead in the charge, decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Yuan army had iron cavalry rushing out of the military formation.
"Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing was endless.
By the time night finally fell, the Tiansu Army had no idea how many human and horse corpses were lying in front of the position. But behind it, the Iron Rider still seems to be endless.
On such an official road, what is fought is a war of attrition. The narrowness of the battle surface is also destined to be lost not too quickly.
Until...... The last iron cavalry of the Yuan army finally pressed forward.
