Chapter 714: Dragon Slaying (83)
Jianghuai Xiaoguo's strength was far inferior to that of the Northern Army, and field fighting was not its strength. The bow and crossbow, which was originally proud, fell into chaos when it failed to exert its power, and the situation was even more disadvantageous for Laigoer. It was outnumbered and lost the opportunity to strike first, so it could only delay and wait for change. According to Laihu'er's idea, he used his own military skills and the lives of these thousands of Jianghuai disciples to try to maintain the war situation at all costs. Hold on until dawn the next day, or if there is a holy decree in the city of Jiangdu, as long as the morale of the rebellious army collapses, you can organize a counterattack, or there is hope that it will collapse without a fight. Otherwise, he would sacrifice his life to fight for a glimmer of life for the saint, at least he could leave the river and not fall into the hands of the rebels
。 With such thoughts as to meet the enemy, it is natural to be cautious in the use of troops, for fear that there will be a leak in the defense line for the rebels to break through. Especially after entering the white blade of the two armies, they fought with each other purely by force, and the Jianghuai army was in an even more disadvantageous position. Rao is to come to Liulang Yong to crown the three armies, and fight
Regardless of leading troops to counterattack, he still can't reverse the situation from the general trend. No matter how good Laihu'er is at using soldiers, he has no divine power to return to heaven at this time, so he can only constantly put his soldiers and horses into the front line to fill the vacancies, and strive to maintain the integrity of the front. In such a situation, Lai Hu'er naturally can't take out too many mobile troops to act at any time, and he is even more powerless to guard against all directions. Besides, in Laihu'er's opinion, there is no need for this. The rebel army killed Jiangdu from the direction of Jiangdu Dongcheng, as long as he firmly guarded the choke point and did not let the enemy rush through, he didn't need anything else
Be careful.
This elite soldier who killed from behind exceeded the expectations of the guard, and for the children of Jianghuai, it was a catastrophe. It's not to blame Laihu'er, he has too little money in his hands, and it is impossible to waste the soldiers and horses in useless places. In his opinion, although there are unforeseen events in Jiangdu City, there is the Son of Heaven in charge after all, and his subordinates not only have the foot of the armed palace and the Xiaoguo on duty, but also Shen Guanghe to drive the envoy camp. With those Guan Long families and their subordinates in the city, it is impossible to turn the sky upside down. As long as you can block the rebel army here, there will be nothing wrong in Jiangdu City. Neither he nor his subordinates had any
thought that there would really be a team of men and horses to kill from behind, and I didn't expect that the main general with the troops would actually be Yuwen Chengji. The Yuwen family's plot against it is a top secret, and no one including Lai Hu'er knows about it, let alone these military men. Even if the Northern Army has rebelled, these soldiers still think that heroes like Yuwen Chengji must be loyal to the Great Sui, and many people even count on it
Chengji led the troops to quell the rebellion early, but it was the evil star who didn't want to wait. There are about 200 people in Yuwen Chengji's department, and the whole army is neatly clothed and everyone has horses, although they are not as good as those heavily armored iron horses, but they are not comparable to ordinary infantry. The land south of the Yangtze River is not conducive to the galloping of war horses, but this area of engagement is flat and there is no one around
Surrounded by water, the cavalry could barely let their horses charge. Even if it is not as convenient as the northland plains, it is enough to make the southern army suffer. These armored cavalry are not the main army of the imperial court, but whether it is the armor and weapons or the foot strength of the cavalry, they are superior to ordinary Xiaoguo troops. The source of the soldier and the training method are also similar to Xiaoguo, and its combat power should not be underestimated, even if it is with Xiaoguo armor
Riding and killing, the number of wins and losses is also in five or five. What's more, it is Yuwen Chengji who is now commanding this team, and the team with him as the arrow is like an incomparable sharp knife, easily piercing into the rear army of Jianghuai Xiaoguo.
The unguarded Jianghuai army had no time to react, and was smashed by the rushing armored cavalry. Some generals even thought that Chengji was here to help in the war, but it was not until the spear penetrated through his chest that he realized that the other party was not only not a savior, but the king of Hades.
This era was still the era of cavalry, and the infantry, which had not been pre-arranged to resist horses and set up spear formations, did not have the ability to resist armored cavalry. Coupled with being caught off guard, it is inevitable to suffer. The horses rampaged through the formation, knocking the unsuspecting infantry to pieces. Different from the wall formation of the Xuanjia cavalry, the Yuwen armored cavalry that charges in a scattered formation maintains a distance between the feet and strength, so that the knights can wave their hands and slash without affecting each other
Interference. These armored cavalry first slammed the spears in their hands towards the infantry's body, and hurriedly let go of their hands before the spear shaft burst, and then pulled out their straight knives to urge the war horses to start trampling towards the Jianghuai soldiers and horses. Under the control of the knights, the well-trained war horse men stood up, raised their huge iron hooves and then slammed them down, and many Jianghuai Xiaoguo lost their lives or lost their combat power. On the battlefield right now, the number of people killed by knives and guns on the spot is not too many
The main casualties came from the wounded. After all, the number of Lang Zhonghe medicinal herbs is limited, and the nobles and generals in the army can barely be treated if they are injured, and ordinary soldiers can only resign themselves to fate. For soldiers, if they are injured, they can only depend on their own lives, and it is up to God to decide whether they can survive or not. Yes
Even if you don't die by luck under the trampling of iron hooves, you are at least crippled, and there is no difference between death on such a battlefield. The cavalry wielded straight knives from side to side, killing people as casually as harvesting crops. Rao is such an elite as a child of Jianghuai, and he can't fight in a hurry without any precautions. can only let the cavalry trample their own army formation to pieces, with their own robes
Ze's flesh and blood anoint the blade.
The enemy cavalry will fight in formation, but the Jianghuai army, which is completely defenseless, has no time to line up at this time. Even if a few generals wanted to gather their subordinates to form a formation to resist, they would be rushed in front of Chengji and killed. At this time, no one stood up and raised their arms to control the three armies, and the brigade of men and horses became a plate of scattered sand, and they could only let the enemy cavalry rush and kill at will in the army. Compared to the direct killing of this cavalry, it is for morale
The blow is even more impressive. The Jianghuai army was already suspicious because he had not seen the holy decree for a long time, did not know the situation in Jiangdu City, and did not know whether he was a king or a rebel, but now he was slaughtered at will by Chengji with armored horses, and the fear in his heart was even stronger. Before supporting the whole army to lay down their lives
There is not much left of the bloody courage of fighting at this time, and these Jianghuai athletes are also the heroes who choose one out of ten thousand, but at this time their courage has dissipated, and most of the people's minds have changed from desperately killing the enemy to trying to survive. Several battle flags were thrown on the ground indiscriminately, and the soldiers holding the flags were brave and powerful men in the army, but they actually threw down the battle flags and ran wildly. Although there are not many such people, and it is not enough to shake the morale of the whole army, but for the children of Jianghuai, such things are still such things
The first time it happened.
Laihu'er stood on the horse and saw all this clearly, only to feel a wave of dizziness and almost fall off the horse.
This is the means of the fighter! He knew very well that even if his soldiers and horses responded to the battle in a hurry, they would not be so bad. The reason why tonight is so embarrassed is that the key lies in Chengji. If it is on a normal battlefield, no matter how brave Chengji is, he will always be alone. big
The army opened the formation and fired arrows in unison, and even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult for him to break through the military formation. But tonight, the army's morale was sluggish, and he was attacked by Chengji and broke the formation, and he picked up a big bargain. Now that it has successfully collided with the formation, it is the turn of its own soldiers and horses to suffer. Ordinary generals are simply not enough to stop its edge, and even if they want to block Chengji's charge a little, it is completely impossible. Seeing that it was rampage with a fast horse and a big lance, no one could control it, and he was self-conscious
No matter how much he can use his troops, he will not have time to divide his troops and deploy them to bring them to fruition. At this moment, Lai Hu'er's face changed suddenly. He has rich experience in using troops and square battle formations, and at this time he has already realized Chengji's intentions. It does not rely on bravery to fight wildly, but has its own calculations. The direction of its charge is exactly where it is, it seems
Remember your own head. It is true that cavalry has an absolute advantage over infantry, but the soldiers have no fixed position and no long shape, and cavalry does not necessarily mean that they will be able to win against infantry. The advantage of cavalry lies in speed, galloping back and forth to defend at will, when attacking, it is like destroying and decaying, and when retreating, it is also as fast as lightning and can leave calmly. When the infantry loses the first opportunity, they can only be restrained everywhere. On the contrary, once the cavalry is greedy for merit and falls into the infantry formation, and loses the speed that it is proud of, it will easily fall into a sea of people and lead to destruction
。 Moreover, the total number of men and horses of Yuwen Chengji is only two hundred, and there is a huge gap between the strength of Jianghuai Xiaoguo, no matter how brave the cavalry is, it is impossible to defeat such a number of opponents.
When it comes to the use of soldiers, Lai'er is far above the foundation, don't look at the current chaos in the army. As long as it takes a while, Hu'er will be able to clean up the men and horses and resume command, and then it will be Chengji and his men who will be unlucky. From a common sense point of view, Chengji should be the same as Lai Quancai at this time, take advantage of it and lead his subordinates to break through and retreat, and then look for flaws to launch a surprise attack. Even if he no longer leads the iron cavalry to collide with the formation, as long as this cavalry is in hand, he can make the Jianghuai infantry army like a thorn
back, unable to go all out. This is the right way to war, and it is also a common means for cavalry generals to deal with infantry. However, Yuwen Chengji did not plan to withdraw his troops at this time, but led the cavalry to assault all the way and rushed towards the Chinese army where he was.
The erector is too deceitful! Laihu'er's heart was nameless, and he hit the top beam in an instant. The first rank of the main general in the army of 10,000 horses can indeed be decided with one blow! But where is it so easy to do such things? Not to mention the interception of soldiers and horses along the way, how can it be just the martial arts of his father and son
Slaughtered? When the time comes, your own soldiers will fire with knives, and you are afraid that you will not kill him? If it weren't for the fact that he was a little older and his health was not good in the past few years, his skills were not as good as before, and Laihu'er would have already urged him to step forward at this time, so that Chengji could see how powerful he was. But now that he is old and weak, he can no longer fight like a young man, only
Hao Chao, who had just put down the water bladder, said: "Liulang, can you still fight now?" ”
"Don't worry, the child, I'll take Chengji's head!"
He shouted loudly, then put his waist knife back into the sheath, took a spear from his side, and rushed straight away with his own soldiers to meet Yuwen Chengji's men and horses. Immediately Cheng Jima came down to rectify, and the two rivals had fought more than once in Jiangdu City. Because of the different skills of the competition, there are winners and losers for each other. Lai Cheng never thinks that Chengji is really stronger than himself, but there are always two martial arts competitions and fights
What's more, both of them have left their hands, and they can't tell the difference. Tonight is a good opportunity for Laicheng, not only to let go of the fight, but also to really fight to the death with Seunggi, so that people can know who is the first person in the Xiaoguo army. Tonight is not only a victory or defeat, but also a life and death!
