Chapter 196 Breaking the Serial Horse

Overwhelming.

The first rejection had no effect on the chain horses, and with the speed of the wind and lightning smashed the rejection horses, and then there was a deafening sound on the ground between the first and second rejections, and most of the first row of chain horses were killed, and the living horses were also thrown to the ground by the other dead horses.

The unstoppable second row of horses followed, stepping over the fallen men and horses, repeating the encounter of the first row of horses in front of them with the sound of explosions in front of them. And the chain of horses behind did not dare to stop, otherwise they would be dragged off their horses by the horse team that followed and trampled to death.

The chain horses entered the minefield of Liangshanbo, and the forty paces between the five horses were covered with mines. In addition to paralyzing the officers and soldiers, there is a more important reason for piling up low mounds and erecting horses to prevent them from being injured by mines that have not been triggered when cleaning the battlefield.

After the minefield, there will be four trenches three paces wide and three paces deep, with small clubs and covered with grass and earth, in which the chain horses will be stopped.

It was only forty paces, but it was a bridge of horses, and a team of men and horses fell, and a team of horses stepped forward on their bodies, and the living people and horses did not have time to bark, and were trampled by the latter group of horses. In just forty steps, more than a dozen rows of the chain of horses fell to the ground, and only the life of making fertilizer was lost.

They thought that the minefield was a nightmare for the horses, but they didn't want to go through the minefield to start their nightmare. The first group of horses that rushed before the pit bore the brunt, a few horses jumped over the pit, most of the horses fell into the pit, and the horses that jumped over the pit while pulling each other were also dragged into the pit.

The second team of chain horses saw the bare pit and jumped up to rush through the pit, but some of the horses fell inside. Because the men and horses who fell in front of them filled the pit, the horses that jumped over were not dragged down the pit, but they pulled each other to a halt.

The third and fourth teams kept coming and entangled with the horses in front of them, as if they were twisting ropes, and at a sudden pause, the cavalry fell from the horse's head to the ground, and then was trampled into flesh by the chaotic horses. Some of the cavalrymen were busy cutting chains with their swords, but they were dismounted by the chain horses behind.

The current chain of horses is like a mess that can't be unraveled.

At this time, the chain horse team was less than sixty paces away from the Liangshanbo army, and such a short distance was an entangled target, which was a good opportunity to practice target shooting. Stout arrows spat out of the crossbow, and although they could not pierce through three layers of armor, they could be shot into them. As a result, the entangled people gradually lost their original vitality.

The chain of horses filled the first trench with flesh and blood, and tried to rush to the second trench, only to be a repeat of the first trench. At this time, nearly 2,000 chain horses have been dispatched, Hu Yanzhuo saw it in his eyes, pain in his heart, the thieves are scheming, it seems that all the chain horses will not be able to rush in front of the thief infantry, and I don't know what kind of conspiracy the thieves will have in the future.

Hu Yanzhuo ordered the chain horses that did not set off to stop temporarily, and those who rushed out could not be recovered, and it seemed that they did not have many arrows, and when the chain horse team attack was over, let the cavalry storm the two wings, and the infantry attack the middle, and really fight for their lives.

Fortunately, Hu Yanzhuo did not bet on all the chain horses, and a large number of bombardment teams prepared tens of thousands of grenades, which would be the terminators of all the chain horses that rushed through the pit.

In the slaughter, the chain of armored horses gradually decreased, and finally all of them were destroyed before the third pit. At this time, Wu Yongling, who was in the same army as Song Jiang, waved the command flag, and the infantry immediately changed formation, only to see the long-range heavy artillery hidden in the middle of the team exposed, and the artillery immediately adjusted the heavy artillery.

There were three rows of heavy artillery in Liangshanbo, and after the test firing, the three rows of heavy artillery were debugged and fired, and suddenly the explosions in the ranks of officers and soldiers were heard one after another, needless to say, it was already in chaos. The soldiers did not listen to the order and ran in all directions, dodging the shells.

The most uncontrollable thing in the formation was the chain of horses, at this time the horses were disturbed and ran around, but rushed into the formation of the officers and soldiers, rampage, the team was even more chaotic, and there were not a few soldiers who died under the hooves of the horses.

Seeing this, Hu Yanzhuo shouted to cut the chains, and the cavalry took out their machetes and struggled to cut the chains. In this chaotic situation, Liangshanbo's artillery fire also stopped, and before the officers and soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, Liangshanbo's cavalry launched a charge from both sides of the pit. Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly ordered Peng Qi and Han Tao to lead the army to resist, and he stopped the chaotic team first, but the chaos of the army could not be stopped in an instant. After a while, the officers and soldiers who had no fighting spirit were defeated by the Liangshanbo cavalry, and Peng and Han reluctantly led the army to retreat. Hu Yanzhuo saw that he was unable to return to the sky, so he and Peng Han could only lead the remnants of the army to flee. 90 look

Wu Yong saw that the defeat of the officers and soldiers had been decided, and with a wave of the handsome flag, all the cavalry of Liangshanbo went out to pursue, and they pursued for nearly ten miles before collecting the troops.

After the war, the soldiers of Liangshanbo cleaned the battlefield, all the arrows were recovered, repaired and reused, and all the armor of people and horses was taken back to the furnace to create the armor that belonged to Liangshanbo himself, and the dead and wounded horses were taken back to be eaten as meat.

Groups of captives saw a touching scene.

The lightly wounded officers and men followed the team after being bandaged by the Liangshanbo medical personnel, and the seriously wounded officers and soldiers were carried back to the village on stretchers after being bandaged, just like the wounded warriors of Liangshanbo.

This ······ Incredible, but full of human warmth!

Hu Yanzhuo's mood was depressed to the freezing point.

Collect the defeated soldiers, count the men and horses, more than 20,000 soldiers, now less than 10,000. In the past few years, the killer ironclad serial horses that have become famous have all been scrapped.

Ay! What is the face of Jiangdong's fathers.

The commander hung his head, and the other sergeants were like walking corpses. They went from impassioned at the beginning of the war to restlessness in the middle of the war, and from restlessness to despair, and then, after the war, they became ecstatic and lived like years. As if they were delirious, they would always suspect that thieves would come out of the cracks in the ground, or fly down from the sky, killing them with rivers of blood and rats running away.

Seeing the low morale, it aroused Hu Yanzhuo's arrogance, a hot-blooded soldier with lofty ideals, a general who was ready to save the Great Song Dynasty in the turmoil, how could he be easily defeated by others? Even if he fails, his spirit will never give in, and his fighting spirit will always fill his body.

Hu Yanzhuo immediately inspected the entire camp, and he wanted to convince the soldiers that the defeat was only temporary, and that they had the ability to make a comeback and be disgraced. So the camp was sprinkled with shadows, visiting the wounded, greeting the sentry, and eating with the soldiers······ He is like a seeder, sowing the seeds of strength into the hearts of every soldier.

Han Tao and Peng Xi saw that the army's heart had dispersed and it was difficult to gather again, and Hu Yanzhuo was strong and hard to support, so they said: "General Hu Yan, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. In this battle, the morale of our army has been dispersed, and in the opinion of the last general, the whole army should be stationed in Jeju City to rest and recuperate, in order to follow! ”

Hu Yanzhuo sighed and said: "Two virtuous brothers, I, Hu Yanzhuo, have been studying military books since I was a child, don't I know the stakes!" Retiring to Jeju to rest and recuperate is a face-saving statement, and at worst it is an escape. When the army enters Jeju and stays in a beautiful haven, it will be safe and sound, but then the morale of the army will be completely lost, and the sergeants will no longer have fighting spirit! Two virtuous brothers, I also have to do it as a last resort! In the comfort zone, the will will only be consumed, and what the soldiers have lost must be recovered on the battlefield, so that they can grow into a true warrior! ”

Peng Xi and Han Tao had nothing to say, just sighed silently. Peng Xi said: "General Huyan, how to report the battle situation to the imperial court, when we come, we will all make a sure victory, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent." ”

Hu Yanzhuo pondered for a while and said, "Suppress it for the time being!" Those powerful ministers are looking for opportunities to fight, and if they tell the truth, they will definitely not have the good fruit of our brothers to eat. At that time, all kinds of pressures will follow, and our brothers will become victims, so let's wait for the achievements to report to the court! ”

The two sighed: "That's all!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo said: "Now that many generals have died, the two virtuous brothers can directly bring up the brave soldiers in their headquarters and let them pacify the soldiers. We all went to the middle of the team, shared the ups and downs with them, and tried to raise the low morale, and we could not be defeated again! ”

The two surrendered their orders and retreated silently.
