139 cavalry assault
"Good opportunity, brothers, rush forward." Shangwu shouted loudly. He saw the most threatening crossbowmen being bombarded with ***, and the formation of the bombed was chaotic. Some of the *** even flew directly to the pikemen in the back. Although the casualties caused do not seem to be very large, the damage caused by more than a hundred *** is still small after all, but the problem is that ancient operations relied on formation operations, and once the formation was chaotic, there would be great chaos, and the soldiers largely came from the dependence on the formation type, and now this formation is chaotic. The morale of the soldiers was naturally disorganized. They themselves don't know if they can withstand such a crazy attack, you know, many soldiers just follow the orders of their commanders, and the intelligence of the soldiers, obeying orders and carrying out orders is also a big constraint.
"Kill. Kill. Shang Wu led the pikemen to kill directly, but the formation of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side was extremely chaotic, and some of the crossbowmen threw away their weapons and fled quickly, they knew that this time they were completely lost. Other soldiers resisted blindly, trying to shoot each other as they rushed at them, but there were too few such people. This is usually done by certain veterans, after all, just now, many soldiers who were bombed kept wailing, and even those soldiers who were not injured were constantly shouting at this time, it seems, this can reduce their pain. More soldiers were stunned as the loud noise from the explosion made their ears ring. There are also some people who keep rubbing their eyes, and the light that blows them up makes it difficult to open their eyes, and they don't know what kind of situation they encounter, but this situation has never been like this.
"Kill. Burst. Burst. Soon the martial pikemen rushed over. The plan was even better than Shang Wu had expected, and Shang Wu was so excited that he directly impaled a crossbowman with a spear, who was already shooting arrows with a bow. However, he could not pull the bowstring anyway. Because of the nervousness, the high level of tension made his arms stiff. The stiff arm couldn't exert his strength at all. Such things happen in situations of high tension, but unfortunately, the officer and soldier have no chance. Shang Wu assassinated the other party at once. At the same time, more crossbowmen were assassinated, many without resistance, and only a few soldiers kept retreating, but their rout brought even greater disaster. Because they were mixed with the ranks of spearmen, the spearmen had to withstand the attacks of the Red Turbans.
And the Red Turban Army wanted to destroy them, and the official army and the Red Turban Army actually caught those fleeing crossbowmen, and they became the biggest obstacle.
"Oops." Seeing such a situation, Huangfu Song suddenly felt that there was a great possibility of his failure. He didn't expect that the Red Turban Army would come to this hand, but even if he sent shield men, I am afraid that this situation will be difficult to stabilize, because they have never seen such an attack method at all, who would have thought that after the other party advanced five hundred steps, the distance of their *** attack could reach their side, and there was a ***, which exploded in the rear position of Huangfu Song, Sima in the army was very worried that if the Red Turban Army attacked like this again, their situation would completely collapse. When the Chinese army is defeated, the army will inevitably retreat frantically, thus forming a huge wave of retreat. By that time, it may be too late for them to retreat.
"Kill. Burst. Burst. "The crossbowmen became the best meat shield or pioneer of the Red Turbans, and the spearmen of the official army could not attack, because the opposite side was their own people, but behind them were the Red Turbans, and the Red Turbans were constantly advancing and killing them.
"** package, fast, quickly open the situation." Shang Wu commanded loudly. Ma Heng saw Shang Wu and stopped Shang Wu at once, at this time, it was very important to protect his commander.
"Throw. Throw. "The grenadiers threw out their hands, and the demomen, they threw **bags, and the power was huge.
"Boom. Rumble. Rumble. Yes. "The original fragile defense line of the official army was already fragile under the impact of the chaotic crossbowmen, and after such a fierce bombardment, many pikemen could no longer withstand such a huge explosion. Their extremely fragile defense line collapsed in an instant.
"Boom. Yes. "A series of explosions made it impossible for many officers and soldiers to withstand such an attack, and the explosions came from their rear, and a wave of air flew over at once, hitting their backs, and many people were blown by the strong wind. And the people who were blown up were even more miserable, they didn't have time to scream, they were killed all at once, their faces were blurred with flesh and blood, and the air was full of smoke. The burnt smell of the meat, and more of the blood. The smoke from the explosion temporarily obscured the battlefield, after all, the smoke was still very large.
Huangfu Song is extremely not optimistic about the situation. After all, his first mistake had already appeared. And the other party seems to have grasped this, and they have no intention of letting go at all.
"Immediately establish a second line of pikemen defense. Order those retreating routs to withdraw from both flanks of the battlefield, or else, they will be killed. Huangfu Song gave such an order. Sima Du was very surprised, this kind of order was too murderous. But Huang Fu Song knew that if such an order was not given, the routed crossbowmen and pikemen would constantly retreat and attack the second line of defense that had just been established behind. In that case, it would be useless to build a third line of defense.
"Immediately protect the Chinese army with axes. The cavalry on both flanks quickly protruded. "Huangfu Song knows that the entire central government has been torn open by the other party, and it is already difficult for the rear army to play a role. First, their orders can no longer be communicated, and second, the officers and soldiers have been disconnected, and it is difficult for them to exert their due combat effectiveness, in the face of such a situation, Huang Fu Song can only pin his hopes on the pikemen, and at the same time he let the knife and axe men form a third line of defense, Huang Fu Song also saw it at this time. The Red Turban Army's goal was very direct, to surprise its own Chinese army. Break through his own line directly from the front, alas, he has a lot of troops, and he can build more defensive lines. The superiority of the officers and troops is also obvious. Since this is the case, the Red Turban Army chose to break through from the center, so Huangfu Song also chose to defeat the Red Turban Army from another angle. The cavalry on both flanks on the battlefield began to launch a bombardment. This is the greatest advantage of the officers and soldiers.
Jia Xu in the rear is in charge of the temporary command, the *** battalion that has been launched has been withdrawn, and even the small carts have been recovered, and after the retreat, they will be quickly transferred. Leaving here, the second reloading of *** is still very troublesome, and without an hour, it is still difficult for these *** small carts to continue to play a second combat role.
"Strategist. Look, cavalry. Xiaodouzi came to Jia Xu's side anxiously, and he hoped that Jia Xu could give him the order to attack. Unfortunately, the order was still not given. He could only wait patiently. The soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade were annoyed to watch the other brothers kill the enemy at the front while they themselves took rear. They would love to fight. But their command was, wait patiently for the signal. This made a lot of soldiers restless.
"Well, order the light cavalry to attack." Jia Xu ordered. Immediately, the only two wings of four hundred light cavalry immediately attacked, they were all armed with spears, ring-headed swords, and of course some hands, which were weapons that would only be used at extremely critical times.
"Brethren, it's time for our cavalry to get up. Come on. "Tetsuko can't wait for a long time. He immediately waved the spear in his hand and launched an attack, their tactics were very direct, impact, like a spear to impact the opponent, not to give the other party a chance to fight, at this time the cavalry combat, although already equipped with a certain spear, ring head knife, large-scale impact tactics are also formed, but not mature enough, the main reason is that the cavalry, the knight must have a high riding skill to do this, after all, when the impact, they have no focus. This will be a very bad reason for them.
"Rush." Tiezi took the lead and rushed out first. The light cavalry of Shangwu is a lancer, and weapons such as the ring-headed knife are still too luxurious for the martial cavalry, because they don't have too many iron tools to provide them, casting, and creating a large number of stirrups, and the horseshoe has consumed a certain amount of iron resources, as for the ring-headed knife, the amount consumed is still relatively large, and there are certain requirements for technology. Shangwu could not meet such a requirement of the cavalry at all, and in desperation, he could only equip the cavalry with these spears, but this is also a major feature of the Shangwu cavalry, they decided to adopt corresponding tactics to attack according to the tactics of heavy cavalry, assault, and charge.
I saw that the infantry had run ahead of them. Tiezi is also in a hurry. Although they did not have a lot of cavalry, and once the two wings were separated, there were only more than two hundred cavalry, but they were cavalry after all. They have a natural advantage over the infantry.
"Rush. Rush straight over. Tiezi shouted loudly. The cavalry of the Red Turban Army was like a sharp arrow that was fired. Straight towards the opposing cavalry.
"Crazy. They're crazy. How could the cavalry rush directly over. A Sima next to Huangfu Song shouted in surprise, this kind of tactic has never been done before. Because both of them are high-speed impacts, the impact will hit the cavalry to pieces, even the Wuhuan cavalry will not do this, they are good at archers on horseback attack, the first time they faced such a tactic, they were suddenly frightened by these cavalry who directly impacted.
