Chapter 1: Armageddon (2)
In the rear, Wanyan Agu scolded angrily, and personally rode his horse to lead the mace to supervise the battle team and arrived behind the infantry formation.
"Listen to Lao Tzu. Today, you are only allowed to rush forward, not backward. Even if you die, you have to die for Lao Tzu with his face facing forward. Those who retreat will be killed. Whoever dares to retreat, I will kill the whole family. Your only chance to survive is to capture the enemy camp for Lao Tzu. Not only you, but also my Wanyan Aguda, if I take a step back, anyone can kill me. Wanyan Agu stared at the blood-red eyes, and shouted loudly with a mace in his left hand.
Today's battle is endless, the bayonets are red, and there is no possibility of retreat. Wanyan Aguda had already made up his mind, and any other worries had been thrown out of the clouds. What to preserve strength, what to retreat and destroy Liao in order to follow-up, is no longer in the consideration of Yan Aguda. When all these distracting thoughts were abandoned, Wanyan Aguda regained his former bravery and bloodiness. At that time, he had nothing, and he relied on his brave and bloody spirit to have the later weather. The strength is greater, and there are more concerns. In the past, he was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but now he is suffering from gains and losses, and he hesitates to think about it. Today, he was completely enraged by Lin Jue's actions, so he didn't care about anything.
The Warlord Horse Corps rushed to the front of the formation, bending their bows and arrows at the second-echelon infantry and horses that had routed and returned in front. Random arrows were fired, and the fastest soldier fell countless times. There is hell ahead, and hell is also in the rear, and the infantry has nowhere to escape, and the only way is to turn around and continue the attack. As their great leader said, it is possible to live if you attack, and you will die if you retreat, and the big leader will never be merciful.
"Attack!" Wanyan Aguda personally issued the order. The flag waved, and the third wave of 30,000 infantry began to attack, followed by the second echelon of infantry that had turned around and charged. So far, the 100,000 infantry on the battlefield have all been invested, and they are densely packed like ants covering the entire two battlefields in the northeast. There were people everywhere, blood everywhere, arrows everywhere. The dead bodies on the ground stained the grass red, blood soaked the ground, and the smell of fish permeated the battlefield. But all this has long been ignored by everyone.
The decisive battle lasted less than half an hour before it entered its first climax.
In fact, the situation on the battlefield is not very favorable to the situation of the defenders of the Luoyan Army, and the opposing infantry is actually currently divided into three echelons and all launched an attack. Within fifty paces of the camp wall, half of the 40,000 enemy infantry of the first echelon remained, and if it weren't for the obstacles such as trench spikes and horse spurs, they should have been able to attack under the camp wall. This part of the soldiers and horses cannot be disposed of immediately.
Although the second echelon shot countless rockets for a swarm, they turned around and attacked, and they were within the range of the arrows. Of these 30,000 people, there are still as many as 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they cannot be left untreated. Otherwise, they will rush to the front and strengthen the soldiers and horses attacking the camp wall. The camp wall was not tall and strong, and it was absolutely impossible to allow too many enemy troops to reach under the camp wall and get out of range of firearms. That would cause the camp wall to be breached and the situation to collapse.
And the 30,000 infantry in the third echelon is actually the most worrisome, and the defenders of the Luoyan Army must deal with the first two groups of infantry first
Three waves of infantry will rush under the camp wall unimpeded. Moreover, the 30,000 infantry of this third wave is the main force of the real Jurchen infantry. The first two groups of nearly 70,000 people, including Jurchens, Liao, Bohai, and Dazhou. To put it bluntly, it's a miscellaneous miscellaneous cannon fodder soldiers. And in the end, these 30,000 infantry are the elite of the Jurchen infantry. This can also be seen in their equipment. One of them was dressed in full armor, holding a real iron shield in his hand, and carrying a scimitar and a hook on his back. They were all young men. Unlike the 70,000 infantry in front of him, there were old men with gray beards, and teenagers of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Since he is determined to fight a decisive battle today, he has also used his brains in the arrangement of tactics, and he did not blindly rush and fight, but invested troops in a hierarchical and planned manner. It can be said that even if the 70,000 infantry in front of him died, Wanyan Aguda would not frown. Because his true strength is behind, those cannon fodder are consumables, and death is their destined fate.
At this moment, Lin Jue naturally saw all the situation. Standing on the high platform, he had already seen many details with a clairvoyant mirror. From Wanyan Aguda personally supervising the battle, to the changes in the equipment of the infantry echelon, it is clear to see. He knew that today's battle would not be known in a moment. Although he made Wanyan Agu suffer a lot in his own hands several times, Lin Jue did not despise Wanyan Agu like some generals in the army. A person who has developed from a small leader of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe to an invincible person in the northern region, a person who can let the Liao Emperor Yelu Zongyuan die in his hands, and a person who has hundreds of thousands of horse infantry troops, how dare you despise it? Despise such a person, and you will die without a place to bury.
"Marshal, can you use a melon grenade? They will soon be under the camp walls, and we only have 30,000 archers, so it will be difficult to stop them from arriving. Liang Qi galloped from the front of the formation, raised his head and shouted for his life under the command platform.
Lin Jue waved his hand and shouted, "Go back to your post." I haven't seen this commander's banner, what are you anxious about? The show has just begun. ”
Liang Qi was helpless, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and left.
Sun Dayong, who was standing beside Lin Jue, said in a deep voice: "Commander, if they attack under the camp wall and don't use grenades, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist." The opposing follow-up infantry rushed to the camp wall. I'm afraid it's going to be broken. If you don't want to lead the personal guard battalion to the city wall to support, let them taste the power of our thousand Wang Eight Boxes. ”
Lin Jue said coldly: "Joke, with these tens of thousands of infantry, do you want me to use the personal guard firearms battalion?" With a swarm of bees, it has already given them enough face. You go and give an order to Ma Qingshan, and ask him to send 5,000 cavalry to prepare for the camp, all carrying crossbows and strong bows. Obey my orders, hurry out of the camp and attack the opposing infantry. Cut off the siege of the next 30,000 infantry. ”
Sun Dayong was stunned, and Lin Jue shouted: "Go quickly!" ”
Sun Dayong hurriedly agreed, and quickly ran down the command platform to give the order, thinking to himself as he ran: "Amazing, the big handsome is too bold, send cavalry out to intercept at this time?" Who would have thought? It's a miracle soldier. ”
Command platform
, Lin Jue ordered the flag soldiers to issue a flag: "A swarm of bees bursts into five rounds, and it must not stop." ”
A swarm of bazookas began to fire frantically at the fire, and countless rockets dragging the pyrotechnic tail flame pierced the air, leaving a dense trajectory to fall in the opposing infantry group. The sound of explosions on the battlefield was endless. Fireworks gathered, sparks were everywhere, and the pungent and suffocating fireworks caused the entire battlefield to be obscured in a very short time. In the midst of the fireworks, the desperate Jurchen infantry groaned and cried, and ran around like headless flies, as if they were in hell.
Sixty-four consecutive shots, within ten breaths. Shoot all the rockets, thirty swarms of bazookas, and five rounds in succession. These numbers speak for themselves. In less than a cup of tea, a swarm of bazookas poured towards the battlefield. Epsom. Tens of thousands of burst rockets. There were only 300 men to operate the bazookas, including the drivers who transported the parts of the arrowheads. And if these three hundred men were all archers, they would have to shoot ten thousand arrows in a row for thirty rounds. Any archer is afraid that there is no way to bend the bow and shoot arrows thirty times in a row, I am afraid that he has already lost his strength. This is the power of technology, this is the innovation brought about by gunpowder.
Although these 10,000 rockets only shot and injured more than 4,000 people in the second echelon of Jurchen soldiers and horses in the end, their terrifying ability to control the battlefield and their powerful deterrent power were undoubtedly revealed. Moreover, the most important thing is that what Lin Jue wants at the moment is not their precise killing ability, which has never been the strong point of a swarm of bazookas. What Lin Jue wanted was their ability to suppress and cover.
The flag waved, and the gate of the Dongying camp opened. Five thousand elite cavalry of the Luoyan Army rushed out of the camp gate and rushed to the battlefield under the cover of smoke. The first-echelon enemy infantry, who had rushed dozens of paces away at close range, were stunned when they saw this. At such a time, the other party actually opened the camp gate and released the cavalry? Crazy? They wanted to warn the rear, but when they turned around, they found that the entire battlefield was full of smoke, and they couldn't see the rear brigade at all. Although the smoke will soon be blown away in the summer wind, it will be too late by then, and the opposing cavalry will probably have already rushed to the battlefield.
When the five thousand cavalry appeared on the battlefield, most of the Wanyan Agu in the rear were stunned. He watched in amazement as a group of cavalry rushed out of the smoke on the other side, divided into two teams along the battlefield, and began to gallop sideways along the front of the charging third-echelon infantry, and when the crossbows rained down and carried out a frenzied slaughter, Wanyan Agu was so angry that he almost suffocated. It's humiliation, it's great humiliation. Under his own onslaught, the other party actually used cavalry to come out to kill, what contempt for himself, what an insult this is?
Wanyan Aguda quickly understood Lin Jue's intentions, he wanted to cut off the charging formation of his infantry and delay the charge of the follow-up infantry. In this way, they can calmly wipe out all the infantry in the first two echelons. In this way, there will be no situation where a large number of soldiers and horses rush under the camp wall and pose a threat to the camp wall.
Knowing this, although Wanyan Aguda was extremely angry in his heart, he also had to admit that Lin Jue's mind was clear and he was bold in his use of soldiers.
