0423 The roadblock is ahead, and the mad cow herd continues
It was also after a heavy rain, and the air was filled with a humid and refreshing night.
On the banks of the Surabaya River where the moon and stars are scarce, the white-haired commander in the tent.
Staring at the twelve holy decrees, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "One city has three holy decrees, and one holy decree is equal to one head." ”
"I haven't lived in vain in this life, and the value of a person's top twelve heads. ”
Then he shouted: "Yanhuan listens to the order......"
It suddenly occurred to me that the confidant who followed him was going to be sent out.
laughed at himself: "Hey, my head is going to be separated, and I can't be sober for a while." ”
Today's Kui Bai seemed to have a convulsion, and he laughed out loud after laughing at himself just now: "The rainstorm is good, God help me." ”
Kui Bai ordered: "Set off immediately and go to the highlands." ”
"Throw away the grain and grass and leave not a single one. ”
"The tent was thrown away, and there was not a single one left. ”
"If you dare to disobey, you will be decided. ”
One order after another was issued, and the entire barracks totaled about 400,000 troops. In the silence, the camp remained unchanged, and the 400,000-strong army quietly withdrew.
At the top of the hill where the 400,000 troops had withdrawn, clusters of torches suddenly lit up. At the same time, a Kong Ming lantern flew into the night sky.
In the extreme distance, also on the top of the mountain, Ji Leng looked at the light of the stars from afar, and sighed: "Dayi is defeated." ”
Fireworks took Ji Leng's hand and smiled: "Isn't it just what you mean?"
Ji Leng couldn't be happy, and sighed: "The cruel war, the two sides plus a million army, I don't know how much will be left after tonight." ”
"In the Seven Killings World, which is already rampant, how many more Yin Things have been created after the First World War?"
At the camp of the Dayi Army, the commander Zhao Si hurriedly ran out of the camp tent. Seeing the torches lit up at the top of the mountain opposite, he first wondered and said to himself: "Is Kuibai crazy? The top of the mountain is far away from the water source, and a single fire can wipe out his entire army." ”
"Now that I have revealed my position again, is it waiting for my army to be overwhelmed? ”
"Hahaha. ”
Zhao Si's laughter just came out, and the next moment came to an abrupt end. He slapped his thigh hard, remorseful: "It's not good, water attack." ”
He shouted, "Evacuate immediately and run to the high ground." ”
Where Zhao Si is located, it is a plain area near the water source. The closest hill to here is where Ji Leng stands.
As if to fulfill Zhao Si's guess, as soon as the words fell, a rolling roar like thunder suddenly started.
Zhao Siyi sat on the ground and regretted: "It's over, it's over, no wonder the Surabaya River has been almost dry recently." I foolishly thought that the Great Khan was caused by someone cutting off the river upstream. ”
The roaring roar was getting closer, and water, dirt, and gravel were mixed. It's not just floods, it's even more terrible mudslides.
There is a grudge here, and there is joy, and Bai Kui, who is standing on the top of the mountain, is calm and calm.
An adjutant general came to dissuade him: "Commander, order the troops, and in the evening, Zhao Si will run away." ”
Kui Bai shook his head slowly: "Wait, the mudslide doesn't have long eyes, it can crush Zhao Si's team, and it can also crush our army." ”
The adjutant general was unwilling and continued to dissuade: "The military merits are in the front, and the loss of some soldiers and horses is worth it." Please ask the manager to order ......"
"Enough. Kui Bai interrupted sharply: "Our military forces, which one has no wife and children, and which one is not a good man of my Great Liang Country." ”
"Why are they sent to death if they are alive, is military merit more important than their lives?"
In the eyes of this adjutant general, military merit is indeed more important than the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops. If he can kill Zhao Si, he Zhu Ming can remove the deputy character of the deputy general.
Zhu Ming knew the existence of the Twelve Holy Decrees, and if he killed Zhao Si, he would make a great military exploit. It is more likely to take his place and become the commander of these hundreds of thousands of troops.
Zhu Ming did not hesitate to take risks and insisted: "The boss is benevolent and righteous, and the last general will not dare to agree." Since the commander was reluctant to send troops, the last general personally led the army to kill. ”
"If Your Majesty blames, I will bear all the guilt with all my might. ”
After that, Zhu Ming was about to turn around and leave.
"You dare!" Kui Bai squeezed out from between his teeth, and then said one word: "Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law." ”
"Come on, take Zhu Ming down for me first. ”
After all, Kui Bai is the commander of the army, and as long as he is still in the day, no one can disobey him.
The roar faded and the road down the hill was muddy. There are still ankle-length mudslides flowing slowly.
Kui Bai was in high spirits and gave an order: "The whole army will attack." ”
At the same time, 50,000 cavalry troops suddenly appeared in the rear of Zhao Si's army. Yan Huan gave an order: "Kill."
Zhao Si heard the roar of horses' hooves, and his already ugly face was as white as frost.
"Where is the heavy cavalry, go out to meet the enemy. ”
"The light cavalry assembles and waits for the Kuibai army. ”
"Hmph, I still have 200,000 cavalry, it doesn't matter if you have any losses, Kuibai, if you dare to come, I will dare to let you die. ”
"Ahhh
Zhao Si underestimated the loss of this mudslide, 200,000 cavalry troops, and the reintegrated combat power was a little more than 100,000. has lived up to the name of the real 200,000.
And sending out the heavy cavalry army was the second major mistake of his expedition.
The heavy cavalry, the military armor on horseback, and the war horse under the crotch are also covered with armor. It can be said that it is really armed to the teeth, and even the horse's face is protected by metal.
Metal represents weight, and the heavy cavalry lives up to its name. Of course, it doesn't matter if you fight on weekdays, but it just rained heavily today.
There are no stone roads in the wilderness, they are all dirt roads, and they are bound to be muddy after heavy rains.
In addition to the impact of mudslides, muddy roads are fatal flaws for heavy riders.
The dirt barely touched half of the horse's leg in one foot, and it was extremely laborious to pull it out, let alone gallop the horse.
Yanhuan's light ride is different, the speed has slowed down, but it can still play to the advantage of speed. And he had prepared for it, and the horse's hooves were tied with cotton cloth to slow down the smoothness of the mud.
The first wave of cavalry battles did not need to draw their swords at all, and the two sides collided head-on, and the stronger and weaker immediately saw which was superior. The weak will naturally be overwhelmed by the formation.
At the same time as the forward charge, the rear cavalry was covered with bows and arrows. At this time, knowing that it is death, you have to rush forward.
It is unknown how many cavalry fell from the bow and arrow passes, as is the case in war, and victory is also piled up with corpses.
"Da-da-da-da. The sound of horses' hooves approached, and the man and the horse galloping at the front collided violently. Whether it is a man or a horse, it will be smashed into meat puree in an instant.
Even if the heavy cavalry is protected by iron armor, it is still difficult to unload the huge momentum. After colliding with shattered iron armor, it will even become a sharp blade that cuts itself, counter-damaging the protected heavy horseman.
There is no such thing as winning or losing, and the collider is dead. It depends on whose corpse has fallen back more, and the formation has been opened.
The advantage of heavy riding is fully revealed, although the speed has been slowed down, it is still on par with the light cavalry fighting at high speed.
The Dayi Heavy Cavalry is stupidly waiting for the second wave of impact, and it has been calculated again.
Under the cover of the first wave of cavalry charges, Yan Huanshuai's soldiers divided into two roads and killed both sides of the heavy cavalry in a roundabout way.
The cavalry does not need to swing the sword vigorously, and the momentum of the horse's forward rush gives the sword unparalleled power. Swords and armor collided with sparks, and the iron armor was torn apart.
Military warfare does not pay attention to bells and whistles, and the places where they are cut are all throats. The mouth does not need to be deep, and it can take the life of the enemy if it does not penetrate the skin.
The muddy road once again became the shortcoming of the heavy cavalry, and before a countermeasure could be made, Yanhuan's five thousand light cavalry from both sides docked with each other.
They don't turn the horse's head and charge, which will greatly slow down the impact of the horse.
Instead, they staggered each other after they were connected, drawing an arc and continuing to hunt on the periphery. In this way, a terrible encirclement was formed, encroaching on the heavy cavalry army from the outside in.
This is not only a test of the combat strength of the cavalry, but also a tacit understanding between each other. To achieve such a seamless hunt, it can be seen that the Liang cavalry is not formed for a day or two.
It must be a long-term run-in to achieve such a tacit understanding.
It almost became a slaughtering feast, and the light cavalry army commanded by Yanhuan hunted on the periphery. Regardless of whether the knife hits or not, there must not be the slightest stagnation, just ride the horse and continue to run forward according to the designated route.
Naturally, someone will make up for it later, even if the corpse can't find a living person, you have to make up the knife on the corpse, so as not to give the enemy a chance to live.
But he said that Kui Bai had a good budget to deal with heavy riders, and naturally there was a way to fight the light riders with his feet.
The army in front of the girder is neatly shaped, and the shields more than one person high are lined up. Between the gaps, spears poked out. There is no need to exert force, just wait for the opposing cavalry to rush up by themselves.
The Great Liang Army has a shield cover, which greatly reduces the damage caused by passing arrow feathers.
The light cavalry army of Dayi on the opposite side was not so lucky, and the closer they got to the Daliang army, the more soft and slippery the muddy roads became.
The advantage of cavalry speed is greatly slowed down, which means that the greatest advantage is lost.
The longer the forward rush, the more feathers you will face. Nearly 100,000 archers took turns to shoot, and the arrows were as dense as raindrops.
The black pressure is like a dark cloud pressing on the top, and the moon and stars are scarce and invisible.
The warrior can't withstand this kind of offensive even if he has the wind protection, and the internal force will eventually run out.
What's more, the archers are also mixed with warriors, and the arrow feathers can also contain Gangfeng to break barriers.
As long as an arrow feather penetrates the protective Gangfeng, it can instantly disturb the martial artist's opportunity.
In such a dense offensive, the slightest negligence is a fatal blow. The martial artist will never be given a second chance to gather the Gangfeng Protective Body, and the endless arrow feathers will follow.
The result can be imagined, even people and horses have no second choice except to be tied into hedgehogs.
Standing on the top of the hill behind, Kui Bai could make out the change in military force by the torches in the camp.
As the commander of one side, stratagem is one of them. When fighting with the enemy, commanding the battle formation is the second.
Kui Bai can be the commander of the 400,000 army of the Great Liang, and naturally he has his uniqueness.
His strategy had not been shown before. To be a commander-in-chief, it depends on the command of the army.
According to the rumors, Kui Bai can be as fine as the subtle transfer of thousands of people. It is equivalent to dividing an army of 400,000 into 400 independent individuals.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Kui Bai ordered, "The barricade attacks." ”
Behind him, the torches changed according to the form of the established drill, and in different positions, they were constantly extinguished and ignited.
Among the 400,000 troops, 3,000 soldiers of the Barrage Tiger Battalion changed into night clothes.
In pairs, they bent down to sneak out of the camp carrying the barricades, and rushed into the front silently through the night.
A barricade is a wooden stake with a thick arm, sharpened in the front and inserted directly into the ground in the rear.
Fixed wood, even if sharpened, is actually not very lethal. But the horse that couldn't stand the high-speed gallop ran straight into it, and even if it was slow now, it was enough to poke a hole out.
There are no immortals in war, and even if a famous general leads and commands, casualties cannot be avoided.
There are 3,000 troops in the Barricade Battalion, and those who can come back alive are only four or five hundred.
You have bows and arrows, enemies too, cavalry can't dodge arrows, and your feet without a shield will be hit.
Their efforts are worth it, even if they exchange ten people for one person and one horse, it is also beneficial to the Liang army where the cavalry is in a weak position.
Kui Bai at the top of the mountain had an expressionless face, listening to the footsteps of the other horseman's army getting closer and closer.
He nodded slightly: "Assault battalion, attack." ”
As the torches around Kui Bai moved, the faction below kept changing. Divide into several squares, leaving several paths that can be used to run through the front and back.
Each road has more than two feet, and there is no obstruction.
Groups of sturdy cattle were driven into the camp and crossed the road to the front of the camp.
After a crackling firecracker, the scalper turned into a mad cow.
