Chapter 1470 The Iron Cavalry Stands Out with Swords and Guns
Wanyan Agu Dazema stood three hundred paces away from the battlefield to the west, and he could see everything in front of him, his brow tightly locked, and the muscles on his face tangle and trembled. The other party is so difficult, this is definitely beyond his expectations. When the outside broke through, he was ready to charge and kill in person. But the other side actually had a second line of defense, which made him very angry. Everything had to start all over again, and his own casualties were already a little unbearable for him. Although there is no specific number of casualties, Wanyan Agu knows that today he is afraid that he has experienced the most tragic casualties since the attack on the Great Zhou. The number of casualties has definitely exceeded 20%. Even if the casualties were nothing to Wanyan Aguda, the casualties were as high as 60,000, which definitely exceeded his psychological bottom line. The opponent only has 70,000 soldiers and horses, and it is a field situation of a head-to-head duel, which is unacceptable in any way.
"Great Chief, I am asking to lead the Iron Floating Slaughter into battle. If this continues, even if the opponent is finally annihilated, my army will have to pay a huge price. Isn't the significance of the establishment of the Iron Floating Massacre to destroy the opponent's formation? If the army is dead, what's the point of keeping the Iron Float? Li Guoqiu on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and asked for war in a deep voice, and there was a sense of complaint in his tone.
Wanyan Aguda nodded slowly, he didn't want to use the Iron Float to fight, because he was worried that the opponent's firearms would cause harm to the Iron Float. Although it was heavy armor, although Li Guoqiu swore that the opponent's firearms would not penetrate the heavy armor, Wanyan Aguda still didn't want to take the risk, because Tiefutu was too precious.
However, at this moment, he had to let Tiefutu fight, and if he continued to consume it like this, the losses would indeed be too heavy. The lethality of the opponent's formation is too strong, and the price of the strong charging formation is too great, and he can't afford to pay this price. If in order to annihilate Lin Jue's 70,000 soldiers and horses, only half or less of his 300,000 soldiers and horses were left, then I am afraid that I would have to withdraw my troops immediately. Because even if this battle is won, it is not qualified to compete in the Central Plains. Then Lu Zhongtian's strength is stronger than himself, will he still bow to himself? Apparently not.
"The military advisor is right, then please immediately lead the Tiefutu cavalry to charge into battle. I personally led 10,000 elite horsemen to follow you into battle. My mace can't wait to smash something. Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice.
At the sound of the earth-shattering horn, the Iron Float Cavalry, which had been preparing for a long time, finally appeared on the battlefield in the west. The morale of the already declining Jurchen army instantly rose because of the dispatch of the Iron Floating Massacre. Everyone knows the power of this heavy cavalry in the army, and they just complained about why the big leader never sent the Iron Floating Cavalry to attack the formation, but let them fight for their lives. At this moment, I finally waited for the dispatch of Tiefutu, and finally I didn't have to fight desperately with my opponent.
The dispatch of the Iron Float was indeed extraordinary. The black tower-like heavy cavalry was not fast, they just rode their horses and trotted, but the entire cavalry formation seemed to have a fierce aura of its own. At this moment, it was already the end of the afternoon, and the spring sun on the west slope shone from the back of the Tiefutu cavalry, and the entire heavy cavalry formation seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black dazzling light. Because of the sunlight on their backs, everyone on the battlefield looked at the Iron Floating Cavalry as if they saw a group of black shadows in the sun, and they were like ghost cavalry emerging from the hell with black flames all over their bodies, which made people shudder.
The fighting on the battlefield seemed to have stopped at this moment, and all eyes were focused on the battlefield on the western side. All concentrated on the thousands of Iron Floating Slaughter. Even the soldiers of the Luoyan Army looked at this heavy cavalry with blank faces, many of them actually knew about the existence of the Tiefutu heavy cavalry for a long time, but today was the first time they had seen it. When you don't see it, you may not think it's a big deal, but when you actually see it
, it's a different feeling. That feeling is, of course, despair and fear.
Lin Jue stood on the high platform in the center of the circle, squinting his eyes and shielding the dazzling sunlight with his hands, looking at the slowly coming heavy cavalry outside Li Xu, and admired himself in his heart. The majestic and majestic heavy cavalry, approaching like a torrent of steel, is truly awe-inspiring. Having such a heavy cavalry should be the biggest dream of every leader.
Lin Jue naturally also thought about the dream of letting the Luoyan Army have a heavy cavalry, but the cost was too high, and he really didn't have enough financial and material resources to make a heavy cavalry. Between firearms and heavy cavalry, Lin Jue obviously chose the former. No matter how powerful the heavy cavalry is, it is still a cold weapon after all. What Lin Jue really wanted was a combination of heavy armored cavalry equipped with firearms, which would definitely be an invincible existence. However, both of these were extremely resource-intensive, and with the financial resources of the Luoyan Army, it would have been very difficult for him to have one. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, Lin Jue can only have a choice.
At the beginning, Lin felt that after knowing that the Jurchens had the heavy cavalry Tiefutu, he was still a little frightened. The Jurchens actually knew how to build an invincible heavy cavalry in the field, which was very discerning. Later, when he learned that it was a Nanren who defected to the Great Zhou to offer advice and help the Jurchens establish this heavy cavalry, Lin Jue couldn't help but be very interested in this. But there is not much background and news about Li Guoqiu, and Lin Jue is also mainly concerned about the battlefield performance of the Tiefutu cavalry. In the southern invasion of the Jurchens, the heavy cavalry was really powerful. The Northwest Army was defeated head-on by the Iron Float, and this Iron Floating Slaughter cavalry was indeed an invincible existence in the field.
But for Lin Jue, Tiefutu didn't particularly worry him. Because, Lin Jue has his own killer weapon. Lin Jue secretly congratulated himself on his wisdom, if he insisted on working Shenwei's cannon and delving into the explosive shells that could be exploded on the ground, he was afraid that he would have embarked on a crooked path. Fortunately, that day, I and Huanqiu played in the lotus swing of Luoyan Lake and saw the budding lotus buds, so I had the inspiration to make a melon grenade. And obviously, the little melon is the best choice to use against these Iron Floating Cavalry.
Lin Jue strictly ordered that he was not allowed to use any firearms other than Wang Ba's box in today's battle, and only used some battle formations and practical tactics to deal with the opponent. Even at the cost of sacrificing the lives of many Luoyan army horse infantry, he did not use small melons to save the situation, and the main reason was because of the Iron Floating Massacre.
As the so-called beating snakes and hitting seven inches, killing ordinary Jurchen soldiers and horses is far less painful than killing the heavy cavalry of the Tiefu Tu, because this heavy horse has consumed too much financial and material resources of Wanyan Agu, and carries too many expectations of Wanyan Agu. Destroying the Iron Floating Slaughter is like stabbing Wanyan Agu Da in the chest, which will inevitably make him feel painful. It was more painful for him than to annihilate his army of 100,000. Moreover, Lin Jue wanted to make Wanyan Aguda think that he thought that the most invincible heavy cavalry was just a scum in front of his Luoyan army, which would inevitably deal a strong blow to Wanyan Aguda's self-confidence and ambition, which was also more useful than killing some Jurchen soldiers and horses.
Because of this, Lin Jue strictly forbade the use of the little melon, because he didn't want Wanyan Agu to know the power of the little melon and didn't dare to dispatch the Iron Floating Slaughter cavalry. Wanyan Agu Da was really able to bear it, and it was not until this moment that the Tiefutu cavalry was dispatched, which made the Luoyan Army kill thousands of soldiers and horses in vain in the previous battle, which really made Lin Jue feel sad. But now, Tiefutu has finally been dispatched, not only did Lin Jue's face show a faint smile, but the time had come for the Falling Goose Army's thunder methods to be used without reservation.
Four thousand Iron Floating Cavalry marched in a neat phalanx, and their horses walked through the battlefield full of blood stained with stumps and corpses. It seems calm and unhurried, and the momentum is calm. When approaching the one hundred and fifty steps of the Luoyan Army's circular formation, Li Guoqiu let out a high-pitched voice
Drinking the order, all the Iron Floating Cavalry reached out in unison and pulled down the fine iron masks under the helmets. So everyone became monsters with iron fangs, and there was no longer a place in their bodies exposed.
The marching speed of the heavy cavalry also increased a lot in an instant, and the huge fine iron spear also changed from standing in the air to holding it flat in front, which was already a posture of fighting against the enemy. The torrent quickly entered the range of the opponent's bow and arrow. And the bows and arrows of the Falling Goose Army also arrived as promised.
Buzz! Whoosh! Countless arrows pierced through the space of a hundred paces and shot at each other, and the armor of the Iron Floating Cavalry made a dense clanging and critical sound. The opponent's crossbows were like a sudden summer storm, and the Iron Floating Cavalry stood still, galloping and charging through the rain of arrows unscathed. Those bolts didn't hurt them at all.
"Hahaha, dumbfounded." The Jurchen generals and soldiers on the battlefield shouted loudly, their faces full of excitement.
Behind the Tiefutu cavalry, Wanyan Aguda, who was carrying a mace and leading 10,000 elite soldiers to follow closely, did not have too many smiles on his face. Bows and arrows were nothing, and what he was most worried about was whether the opponent's firearms could cause damage to the Iron Float. He couldn't be happy right now.
The Iron Floating Tu, who was charging in the rain of arrows, quickly approached within fifty paces of the opponent's circular array. Even Li Guoqiu tensed his nerves, although he concluded that the shotgun could not break through the heavy armor, but when it came time to see the difference, he was still very nervous. Through the eyes of the mask, he saw that hundreds of cavalry on the other side were already lined up behind the horse rejection wall, holding black objects in their hands and aiming at his own team. He knew it would be a firearm.
As Li Guoqiu expected, more than 600 cavalrymen equipped with Wang Ba boxes had already gathered in the front position of the Tiefutu charging formation. The ammunition was loaded and ready for bombardment. Lin Jue actually wanted to know if the power of the shotgun could penetrate the opponent's heavy armor, so he decided to give it a try, after all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to test the power of the Wang Ba box. Moreover, Wanyan Aguda was a cunning man, and he knew that he had firearms, but if he did not see himself bombarded with firearms, he might be suspicious. If the Iron Float was unable to move forward fifty paces away, Little Melon would not be able to exert his full power at this distance. After all, the small melon thrown by manpower can only be thrown to a distance of thirty or forty steps, and the arm strength may be as far as fifty steps away, if you want the opponent's Tiefutu cavalry to taste the taste of melon, Lin Jue needs them to rush forward without any suspicion. Therefore, even if it is acting, Wang Ba Box is also an indispensable supporting role.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A continuous deafening roar sounded, like the sound of spring thunder rolling down the earth. In the rising black smoke, hundreds of firearms opened fire at the same time was a spectacular sight. Not to mention anything else, the roar and smoke alone made many Jurchen soldiers and horses tremble. Not to mention, they all knew that the smoke and fire were spewing out dense iron bullets that were enough to pierce the armor and break bones and flesh, and the thought made people's scalps tingle and their bodies weak.
Six hundred firearms were fired in the same direction at the same time, and a dense barrage as faint as black mist was suddenly formed in the air. The dense barrage that crossed the wall of the Horse Rejection Wall first gathered in a group, and then turned into an overwhelming net, enveloping the front line of the Iron Floating Tu Heavy Cavalry, which was more than two hundred paces wide.
The next moment, like countless copper beans entering the pot, and like a shower falling on the lotus leaves in the hall, the screeching sound of ding dong crackling sounded. An even more shocking sight appeared before everyone's eyes with these sounds. The four or five hundred heavily armored cavalry in the first two rows of the Iron Floating Slaughter burst out of countless sparks, each sound was accompanied by a little burst of sparks, and the dense sound was accompanied by countless sparks bursting, as brilliant as brilliant fireworks in the night sky.
