Chapter 260: Battle
The Beiwei cavalry who returned to the Song army's main formation were greeted with heroic cheers. The main general, Shi Yang, also personally rode over to congratulate Zhang Ba, who had won the victory.
Zhang Ba tore off his helmet vigorously, not caring about the blood stains on his face, and looked at the more than fifty brothers on horseback, his face was heavy.
Shi Yang sighed in his heart, cavalry combat is worthy of being the combat method with the largest casualty rate. Their dragon and bird army cavalry was originally few, and it was distressing to die a single one, but this battle must be fought, not only for the safety of the wing army, but also to prove to the Yuan army that the Song army cavalry has the ability and strength to resist the Mongolian cavalry. If you are suppressed on the cavalry, it will be difficult to fight in the later battles.
If it is the Dragon Bird Army going into battle, it is not afraid of the Mongolian cavalry at all, whether it is harassment or charging into battle.
In this short cavalry encounter, the Mongolian cavalry was indeed defeated, not in terms of combat effectiveness, but because of the inability to afford to be injured - every Mongolian cavalry is an elite who has been tempered thousands of times, and it is difficult to replenish the death of one. However, it was relatively easy for the cavalry of the Song army to replenish, and there was no need to be able to ride and shoot, and there was no need to wield a knife and a gun immediately, as long as they rode steadily, obeyed orders, and pulled the trigger.
Through the two short rounds of confrontation just now, Zhang Ba knew very well in his heart that no matter riding skills, cavalry shooting, or cavalry battles, his back cavalry was indeed inferior to the Mongolian cavalry, and he purely relied on handcuffs to draw this game.
Handcuffs are better at close range, while riding a bow is better at long-range killing, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and no one has an overwhelming advantage.
At the beginning of the establishment of the cavalry of the Song Army, the core theme was very clear. Purely cold-weapon cavalry warfare, it was difficult for the Song army to confront the Mongol cavalry. The only thing that can be done is to use weapons to smooth out the gap, and then use a huge population base to fill it - pull the war from fighting to fighting potential, use bullets, use human lives, and heap to kill you!
How many Song people are there? How many Mongolian talents are there? If you can really fight one by one, it is estimated that only one percent will be able to extinguish the Mongols...... Therefore, the Song army is not afraid to fight, but the Mongols are afraid that they will not dare to fight.
Obviously, the Mongols will also settle this account, so they obviously still have combat power, but they have to endure and retreat.
Soon, the Yuan army galloped to the front of the formation, waving a white flag, and asked to collect the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry in front of the Song army.
The Song army agreed, but stripped the Mongols of their armor, weapons, and horses, and returned only a sleek corpse.
When forty or fifty corpses of stripped pigs were lined up under the hill where the Yuan army was located, Baijianu's eyes almost erupted with fire, and Wang Weiyi's face behind him was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.
Well, it's amazing to be able to say the same thing in two completely opposite ways.
Armored cavalry, almost every general of the Yuan army above 10,000 households has it, even if a new attached army like Wang Weiyi, who has a relatively average status, has a team of armored cavalry to escort it. But he is also an armored cavalry guard, and his Han cavalry is far inferior to the Mongolian elite cavalry of Baijianu.
Baijianu wanted to win this first battle so much that he sent the most elite Mongol cavalry at hand. He knew that the infantry of the Dragon Bird Army was powerful, but he never expected that the cavalry would also be so powerful. To be precise, it is not the cavalry of the Song army itself that is powerful, but the weapons equipped by the cavalry.
Look at the shocking bloody holes on this corpse - such a horrible wound, it is only hell that you can survive. Even if it is hit in the limbs, it is crippled on the spot, and in such a fierce and bloody cavalry battle, being crippled is no different from dying on the spot.
The arrows of the Mongolian cavalry in the hands of Baijianu are very powerful, and the lethality of the heavy three-edged arrows is also terrifying, but the arrows are arrows, and its material itself determines that unless you hit the vital point, you will not have to die with three or five arrows. And the large-caliber handcuffs of the cavalry of the Song Army, with just one shot, will die if you hit it, and cripple it if you rub it - how can you fight it? Even if you can fight, how dare you fight?
After a long time, the servants of the hundred families took a deep breath, waved their hands, and carried the corpse away with their own army attendants.
Wang Weiyi said in a low voice: "Although we lost the cavalry battle for a while, the key to the decisive victory in this battle is still in the infantry army. The Song army on the other side is not the forbidden army 'Dragon Bird Army', but the Xiang Army She soldiers in southern Fujian, as long as these barbarians are defeated, the final victory of this battle still belongs to us. ”
Baijianu looked at the cavalry on both sides of the Song army's formation from a distance, and there was a deep unwillingness in his cruel eyes, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay!" You personally commanded the three formations of the front army to attack. ”
Wang Weiyi understood that this was the only chance for him to atone for his sins, and he didn't dare or shirk, so he bowed down to receive the order, turned around and shook his head, and strode away from Xiaoshanbao.
Knock knock knock!
With the heavy drumming of slaughter, the three formations of 6,000 sergeants of the front army of the Yuan army began to press towards the Song army.
Shi Yang, the chief general of the Song army, was observing the enemy situation with a clairvoyant mirror on the rear earthen fortress general platform. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this was the first battle, Shi Yang would not have been very willing to command this battle. From the day he became a general, he has always commanded the powerful firepower output of the Dragon Bird Army to fight, and his command style complements it, it is all so fiery and ferocious. However, at present, among the more than 10,000 troops, except for less than 500 cavalry and a battalion of 500 musketeers directly under him, the others are all cold weapon troops, and their firepower is unprecedentedly weak, which cannot satisfy his strong desire to sweep away the enemy.
What's more, before the war, Zhao Lie instructed him that his mistake was a last resort, and he tried not to use the musket barracks, after all, this was only the first battle, and he was mostly tentative, and tried not to expose the fighting methods of the firearms troops - although many Yuan troops had fought with the Dragon Bird Army, the commander of the Yuan army and most of the generals under his command had not really seen it, and some things were better than seeing them with their own eyes even if they heard them a hundred times.
Zhao Lie didn't want to let Boyan and Instigation open their eyes for free in vain, and then think of ways to deal with it. Want to open your eyes? Yes! Pay tuition, it's not okay to pay less, at least the 10,000 miscellaneous new annexes in front of you are not enough!
"Wang Weiyi, the new attached army is indeed not enough." Shi Yangqiang suppressed the strong battle intent in his chest, snapped back the clairvoyant mirror, and shouted, "Left and right army, which of you is going to meet the enemy?" ”
Huang Hua and Li Zifa stepped forward at the same time and saluted: "The last general is willing to go." ”
"Huang Hua, you have always boasted that your Toutuo army is powerful, so I will give you a chance to prove it to Your Majesty and show me and others." Shi Yang grabbed a fire pick from the lottery next to him and threw it, "The right army is fighting!" ”
Huang Huayang took it and said in a loud voice: "General Shi, you just look at it." ”
Huang Hua's army has a good reputation in southern Fujian, and its subordinates are all tattooed with broken hair, gray scarves and heads, and they fight fiercely, and they are known as the "Toutuo Army". It is precisely because of its outstanding combat strength that it can stand out among the 80,000 Han She Army and become a front-line unit facing the powerful Yuan Army.
"Toutuojun, attack!"
"Ho-ho-ho-ho!"
With a tsunami-like roar of the mountains, the Song army's war drums were excited, and the right army "Toutuo Army" came out of the formation and brazenly greeted the new annexed army of the Yuan army.
