Chapter 274 [Martial Arts Team, Attack!] 】
On the plains, two peculiar formations were rumbling one after the other. One was a long line of skirmishers with a width of one and a dozen thicknesses, and the other was a mule-and-horse cart formation centered on eight cannons and sixteen small cannons, with numerous ammunition wagons, gunners, auxiliaries, and escorts.
The dragon roar cannon looks huge and heavy, but in fact it is only a few hundred catties, and a mule and horse is enough to pull it, and the speed is about the same as the infantry advancing on the battlefield. As for the Tiger Roar Cannon, it is lighter, even on rugged mountain roads, two people can walk with one lift, let alone on a flat field, dragged by a mule and a horse. That speed...... If it weren't for the sake of keeping in line with the dragon roar cannon, I am afraid that I would have rushed to the front of the Yuan army long ago.
The rolling wheels ran over the red flag, and the two peculiar arrays crossed the center line of the battlefield, getting closer and closer to the Yuan army's main array, and more than 100,000 yuan of sergeants began to commotion. Nine out of nine of these soldiers have never seen artillery, and they don't know its might, but these big guys roared over, and the hideous barrels, the black holes, and the huge gun carriages formed a powerful coercion that was really terrifying, and I don't know what kind of terrifying attack it would be in the next moment.
What's more, the horror of the musket killing array, everyone before could see it clearly, as soon as the strange straggler line approached, even if the overseer team was ruthless, they couldn't suppress the commotion of the array.
The commotion of the Yuan army, in addition to fear, was more of a surprise - why did the Song people have all been killed, but the army did not have the order to meet it? Could it be that he watched the Song people's musket strafe?
When they thought like this, there was a sudden rumbling sound of iron hooves shaking the ground and shaking in the rear of the large array, and billowing smoke and dust filled the entire rear formation, and tens of thousands of troops and Rulin banners were completely annihilated. The thunderous hooves like rolling thunder hit the hearts of every soldier of the Song and Yuan armies heavily, like an invisible sledgehammer blowing, making people's hearts explode.
"Cavalry, our cavalry ......"
"It's the cowardly Xue Jun! The cowardly army of the Great Khan! ”
"It turned out that the cowardly Xue army was going to be dispatched, no wonder there was no order to attack."
"Okay, if there is a cowardly Xue Jing riding out of the horse, he will definitely be able to crush the strange cannon of the Song people, and the musket killing array will not be able to stop it......"
As soon as the cowardly Xue army came out, the Yuan army's large array was even more agitated, but this time the commotion was more exciting, and the morale was greatly boosted for a while. Of course, the Inspectors will not suppress such a "commotion" and are happy to see it happen.
The Yuan army was behind the smoke and dust, and Zhao Lie saw it clearly for the first time, and blurted out: "Cowardly Xue Jun!" ”
"And the Tiefutu of Boyan's Hebi Red Army!" Ma Nanchun also exclaimed: "What does this mean, Boyan? Could it be that he wants to charge the battle with cavalry? ”
Zhao Hunt's chief guard, Long Feiyi, who was extremely experienced in combat, also lost his voice and said: "Cavalry charge? That's not how this cavalry is used! ”
Cavalry charges do exist, but most of them are heavy cavalry, while the Mongol elite cavalry is mostly light cavalry, which is longer than cavalry shooting. The most commonly used tactics to deal with enemy cavalry is "Mangu", flying a kite to grind the opponent to death; In dealing with the enemy's infantry formation, they often attacked from the flanks with cavalry and fire, like wolves tearing and biting, slowly bleeding, and tearing apart the infantry formation little by little. As soon as the formation dispersed, thousands of foot soldiers became two-legged sheep, and the cavalry was allowed to kill.
In this decisive battle, due to the deterrence of the Beiwei army, the deterrence of the musket killing array, and the fear of artillery, the Yuan army did not dare to put cavalry to implement wolf pack tactics. However, he didn't expect to be forced by the guns of the Song army like this, and Boyan actually sent a heavy strike force at hand - Tiefutu.
"Tiefutu" is the Song people's name for the heavily armored cavalry. The Mongols were good at galloping with light horses, and their armies were dominated by light horses, but that doesn't mean they didn't have heavy horses. In fact, the Mongols had a lot of heavy cavalry, or strictly speaking, "heavy cavalry infantry", which were heavily armoured, like iron cans, mainly used as a decisive force in the siege.
The Yuan army fought fiercely with the Southern Song Dynasty for decades, and more often launched siege warfare against the cities of the Southern Song Dynasty. Charging can be ridden, but it is naturally impossible to ride a horse during the siege, so these heavy armor soldiers came into being. Often, as soon as these heavily armored soldiers enter the city, the battle is about to end.
Boyan's guard "Hebi Red Army" has an iron floating map of about 2,000 men and horses, which has captured many cities in the battle of the Song Dynasty, but has never been used in field battles. Because the heavy cavalry charging into battle is the act of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, although it can often play a decisive role, but looking at the entire Southern Song Dynasty, no army can make Boyan do this.
Today, the Dragon Bird Army, to be precise, the artillery battalion of the Dragon Bird Army, forced Boyan to use the Tiefu map of the Hebi Red Army and the Cowardly Xue Army.
In the face of the musket killing array of the Dragon Bird Army, the slow infantry formation will definitely not work, and how many will die; The light cavalry was also not good, although it was fast, but the defense was weak, and even if it could tear apart the musketeers, the losses would be heavy. Only the Iron Float can have both speed and defense.
Quickly rush to the musketeer formation with Tiefutu, desperately tearing apart the dragon sparrow army with losses, as soon as the army formation is broken, the artillery battalion will lose its protection and be destroyed under the ravages of heavy cavalry. As soon as the Dragon Bird Army was destroyed, the Guangnan and Minnan armies were not the opponents of the Yuan army at all, and in this decisive battle, the Yuan army won - this is the strategy of Boyan and Sudieer. Even if they hadn't seen the way of artillery attack, the basic common sense that long-range weapons were most afraid of close quarters, as a commander, how could they not know.
Similarly, as soon as the Tiefu map came out, Zhao Lie and Ma Nanchun also understood the Yuan army's intentions at once.
Zhao Lie's eyes flashed, and he said decisively: "Long Feiyi!" ”
"The end will be."
"Lead the martial arts team and attack!"
Long Feiyi was just about to respond with his fists, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Your Majesty, no!" The mission of the martial arts team is to protect His Majesty, and if it is all scattered, this Chinese army will be empty......"
Ma Nanchun also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Commander Long said is extremely ......."
Zhao Lie raised his hand to stop, and said indifferently: "Do you think that under such circumstances, the Yuan army can still threaten the Chinese army?" ”
Ma Nanchun said solemnly: "Your Majesty is a member of the community, and you must not have the idea of taking risks." ”
Zhao Lie looked directly at Ma Nanchun: "How can there be a war that is not risky?" Ma Qing, you and I have been going all the way, which time did we fight a smooth battle? If we only seek stability, how can we defeat the strong with the weak and get to where we are today? ”
One sentence brought Ma Nanchun back to the turbulent years of the sea of blood, and he was excited for a while, and said in a snarling voice: "Your Majesty ......"
Zhao Lie took a deep breath and tightened the guardrail with his palms: "This is a decisive battle, if you defeat the remnants of the Red Army and the Cowardly Xue Army, take advantage of the chaos to break the formation, then the Yuan Army will be defeated." If our army wins, only then can I, an official, be truly thoughtful; If it fails, it will be a big deal! At that point, what good will it do if I don't lose a single hair? ”
Ma Nanchun and Long Feiyi bowed deeply: "Your Majesty is bold and courageous, and he is really a saint from afar." ”
"Go ahead." Zhao Lie stared at Long Feiyi and the other generals of the martial arts team, "Remember, the more ferocious you fight, the safer I am." ”
Long Feiyi, Jueyuan, Ding Xiaoyi, Zhang Junbao and others were all enthusiastic, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we are the strongest martial arts team in the world!" It is the deadliest weapon in the hands of His Majesty! But if one is still alive, there will never be an enemy horseman before His Majesty! ”
Rumble!
There was a loud earthquake, and everyone turned their heads in unison - the dragon roared, roared.
