Chapter 94: The Verge
The sun is like blood, and the sword is like snow! Guns and halberds are in a forest, and shields are stacked in a city!
"Uncle Liu Huang Tianhuang is a nobleman, a descendant of the Han Gaozu, and today's son Chrysostom Yuyan was crowned as the emperor's uncle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Uncle Huang said, Cao is anxious, I am wide; Cao is violent, I am benevolent; Cao Yichen, I am loyal; Contrary to Cao. Red represents brightness, enthusiasm, affection, vitality, this is the concept that Uncle Liu Huang and the Han Army adhere to, on behalf of the world's people with lofty ideals and the bright and beautiful future of the common people, we will be sincerely united, united as one to the golden iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger momentum swept the world, but also the Han a bright future, peace and well-being! Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and the stars were shining.
"A good boy of the big man! Loyal and brave soldiers! Shouldering the expectations of the people and the hope of the future of the Han Dynasty, pick up your swords and guns, for the sake of your family, for the descendants, for the country, for the honor of the soldiers, and for your dreams, fight bravely and kill the enemy! This battle will be won! The Han army will win! Zhuge Liang did his best to push the strong atmosphere of the mobilization meeting to a climax.
"This battle will be won! The Han army will win! The rebels will be defeated! ”
"This battle will be won! The Han army will win! The rebels will be defeated! ”
Liu Chan struck while the iron was hot, raised his sword and took the lead in shouting, and the Han army array erupted at the same time with an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound, soaring into the sky, deafening.
The emotions of tens of thousands of troops were fully mobilized, and the strong and intense atmosphere spread, accumulated, fermented, and fissioned over the endless ranks, penetrating into the powerful hearts and open blood vessels of the warriors, inspiring them to burst out with incomparably powerful combat effectiveness and invincible murderous aura!
Zhuge Liang didn't allow Xiahou Yuan to react, and the feather fan pointed at Cao Jun and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The flag commander of the Chinese army's Yuntai bucket command tower pointed the order flag forward.
The bucket is to set up several high shelves or a wooden pole near the camp or military formation, and a bucket is set up on it, and the flag soldiers in several buckets and the flag soldiers around the general form an information network. Use the flag language to command the whole army to attack, change the formation to defend, cavalry charge, attack direction, decisive assault, etc.
In an instant, the majestic sound of war drums and the sound of desolate trumpets suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the earth shook the mountains, which was amazing, and struck people's hearts mercilessly.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The soldiers of the Chinese army and the Han army on the left and right wings, with their swords hitting the shield, their faces were like cold iron, and their murderous aura was awe-inspiring, and they slowly moved forward, with momentum like a rainbow.
The wind roared, the yellow sand filled the sky, the murderous aura was permeated, the uniform footsteps and horses' hooves hit the ground, the mountains shook, and the blood-red sea moved northward.
Of course, Xiahou Yuan was not to be outdone, the black big sword was flying in the wind, his expression was solemn, he gritted his teeth, shook his sword and pointed ahead, and shouted first: "Promotion and fortune are today, and meritorious service is in this battle!" Soldiers, kill! ”
"Kill", "kill", "kill" Cao Jun's morale rushed to the bullfight, and made a tsunami-like shouting of killing.
At the place where the shields of the Chinese army were separated, all the armed black cavalry swarmed out, changing the formation with the command of the banner, and Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu led the tiger and leopard cavalry to rush out.
The Haw Par hoplites were dressed in knee-length chain-locking armor riveted with iron plates like fish scales, movable locks, weighing about 15-20 kilograms, and wearing conical iron helmets with nose guards, and their whole body was wrapped in thick armor. Carrying a crossbow and crossbow, a quiver filled with an armor-piercing cone, a long saber with a ring head, a short-handled battle axe, a short sword, and a halberd more than 4 meters long.
The earliest saber in China is supposed to be the ring-headed knife of the Han Dynasty. The blade body is slender, mostly straight ridge and straight edge, there is no clear distinction between the handle and the blade, and there is no guard. The handle of the knife is mostly clamped with a piece of wood, and the outside is wrapped with a thick rope. Easy to hold. Compared to the sword. The ring-headed sword has a blade on one side and a thick ridge on the other, making it more suitable for slashing when cavalry is on the offensive than a double-edged sword.
Under the seat of the cavalry is a tall and sturdy horse, wearing heavy armor, only the horse's calves are exposed, and the horse's eyes are also covered with blindfolds to prevent bow and arrow design, and the heavy armor is composed of a curtain, a chicken neck, a chest, a horse body armor, a saddle, a rope pedal, a hitch, and a parasitic body.
The curtain is a long, narrow metal shield with eye holes on it, which mainly protects the horse's face; The chicken neck is a pair of armor on the neck of a horse, made of armor pieces with a buckle on the front that can be fastened; When the chest, the horse's body armor, and the back of the horse, it is a large piece of armor in the front, middle and back of the horse; Parasitism, on the other hand, is a broom-like thing that is placed upwards on the tail of a horse.
In view of the fact that more than 1,000 of the tiger and leopard cavalry were annihilated by the Han army, in order to restore combat effectiveness and boost morale, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun promoted more than 1,000 people from the cavalry, supplemented the tiger and leopard cavalry, and restored the 5,000 establishment.
Headed by Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shangdian, under the command of Cao Chun's banner soldiers, the tigers and leopards riding with heavy armor were orderly and quickly lined up into a cone-shaped battle formation, like a black fortress, which was daunting.
The Chinese army of the Han army, which was still moving forward just now, saw that the tiger and leopard were riding strongly, so they actually stopped, and the formation was in chaos, and many people pushed back, Zhao Yun and Liu Chan saw this and hurriedly ordered to stabilize their position.
Seeing the chaos of the Han army, Cao Chun was overjoyed and shouted: "The Jingzhou army is terrified of our tiger and leopard cavalry, and we have not yet attacked the army, they are already in chaos without a fight." Hahaha, don't wait for me, brothers rush with me! Capture Zhuge Villager alive! ”
Cao Chun shouted, taking the lead, five thousand tigers and leopards rode like a huge black arrow, whistling and shooting at the Han army, more than 20,000 horses' hooves knocked on the ground together, raising a big dragon of sand and dust, whistling towards the Han army.
Liu Chan looked at the tiger and leopard riders who were surging like a tidal wave in a lifetime, with a playful smile on his face, and hummed a little song in a low voice: "Come on!" Come on! Tiger rides and leopard rides. The master will definitely make you disappear and become a dream......"
In fact, the so-called chaos of the Han army was just a trick by Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan to lure the enemy, and Cao Chun, who wanted to lead the fire to attack the heart, took the bait. Sure enough, Cao Chun, who was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, had a plan!
The yellow sand roared, the wind blew strongly, and the earth trembled, like an earthquake.
Seeing that the five thousand tigers and leopards were riding violently, they came fiercely. Zhuge Liang feather fan looked down, the Han army team that had retreated more than ten steps immediately stopped, quickly set up the formation, the sappers discharged four rows of horses, the sword and shield soldiers used the square shield to form a black city wall in front of the formation, followed by the pikemen holding four-meter-long spears to form a phalanx, and the crossbow archers opened their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.
Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun smiled contemptuously when they saw this, in their eyes, what the poorly equipped Han army did was simply a praying mantis blocking the car, and in front of the invincible and powerful tiger and leopard riders in the world, everything they did was futile and useless, and they couldn't change the fate of failure.
According to the conventional method of warfare, the Chinese army generally deploys infantry, and the cavalry is divided into left and right flanks, taking advantage of the cavalry's high-speed mobility and waiting for opportunities to flank the attack.
Previously, Cao Chun had also used this tactic many times to defeat the enemy. For example, in the ninth year of Jian'an, in the battle of Nanpi with Yuan Tan, Cao Chundu Tiger and Leopard rode from the siege of Nanpi, attacked it urgently, and Chun's command rode to behead Tan. In the twelfth year of Jian'an's northern expedition to Wuhuan, Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and together with Zhang Liao, he beheaded Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Chun conquered Jingzhou, pursued Liu Bei in Changsaka, won the baggage of his second daughter, and accepted his scattered pawns.
This time, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun saw that Zhuge Liang's Chinese army was all infantry, and the cavalry was distributed on the left and right flanks, while the cavalry strength of Cao's army was far above that of the Han army, with 5,000 light cavalry on each wing. Therefore, on the contrary, the powerful tiger and leopard cavalry was deployed in the Chinese army, and with its powerful impact force, the Chinese army that defeated the Han army was defeated in one fell swoop, and Zhuge Liang was captured, and then the troops were divided into Zhang He and Li Dian to attack the enemy's two wings, and they would win a complete victory.
Judging from the history of the conquest of the tiger and leopard cavalry, there is indeed no army in the world that can resist this devil's division, even the Wuhuan cavalry, which is good at riding and shooting, crisscrossing the northern desert, and almost invincible, was also defeated by the tiger and leopard cavalry whose number is far less than his own.
