Chapter 153: Demonstrations
Based on the scout's evaluation of the horse thief camp, Ma Jun looked at the leader of the scout and said, "If you are allowed to infiltrate the camp and kill the leader of the horse thieves, can you do it?" ”
"It can be done." The scout team looked down and thought about it, and then answered, he had just entered the camp of horse thieves with a few good men, and the defenses inside were very loose, and it was easy to avoid those horse thieves who were patrolling the night.
"Nope." Leon stopped the horse's order, and as soon as he spoke, all the officers turned their eyes to him, and after killing the leader of the horse thieves, launching a night attack was the best tactical option for them, which would minimize the morale of the horse thieves, and no
method to form effective resistance.
"Don't forget the ultimate purpose of our streak of operations." Ignoring the stares cast from all around, Leon explained his reasoning, "Our purpose is to defeat these horse thieves who are watching and make them take refuge in the 'Liaoyuan Fire', and kill their leader, only to let the 'Liao' burn."
Primordial Fire's easier to co-opt these horse thieves. ”
Listening to Li Ang's explanation, those officers understood, and at this time they knew where the gap between themselves and the Qianhu in front of them was, they paid too much attention to the battlefield and ignored things outside the battlefield, to put it simply, they just considered it from the perspective of 'general'
, and Li Ang stood in the position of 'handsome'.
"Half an hour later, we attacked, and the scouts took out the horse thieves' guard before we attacked." Leon gave his first battlefield order, and the scouts took the order, while the other officers gathered around the simple map of the horse thief camp and discussed
Attack in detail.
Look at those energetic. As the young officer discussed the details of the tactics, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the Great Qin Legion. With such an excellent group of officers, it is no wonder that Great Qin can maintain absolute military superiority over the countries of the world for one hundred and fifty years, Great Qin
The legend of the Legion's invincibility is not for nothing.
The group of officers born from military families always has a vigorous attack**, and they are also supporters of chauvinism in the great powers, as long as this group has always existed. Then Great Qin will always maintain a military strength above the level. Leon thought to himself
A few smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Soon, half an hour was coming, and by this time the officers had already returned to their units and awakened the repaired soldiers, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the three thousand soldiers of the Dragoon Army had woken up, and they began to organize their armaments
The horse thieves were too lax in their fortifications, and they only took longbows and sabers. As for the repeater. It's not worth wasting precious crossbows for these horse thieves.
The dragoons led their horses, led by their respective officers. Assemble in three directions, and after they have mounted their horses, they put their sabers on the saddle, and adjust the bowstrings of their longbows, and when they have made all the preparations, they begin to ride their horses on the three thousand households
under the leadership. With a team of three thousand, they moved from different directions to the horse thief camp in the distance.
The dragoons did not run with all their might from the beginning, but rode their horses at a third of the speed to the horse thieves' camp in the distance, and it was not until they were within five miles that they began to gallop their horses to the horse thieves' camp with all their might.
As soon as the horse thieves in charge of the sentry camp felt the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, death befell them, and the dragoons lurked in the sentry towers of each horse thief, and at the same time, they killed all the horse thieves.
The distance of five miles. For the dragoons charging at full speed, it was just a meal. Moreover, the war horses under their crotch are the horse breeds carefully bred by Daqin in Wanzhou, Wanzhou horses have always been known for their speed, and their endurance is also very good, and they are the best light cavalry in Daqin
War horses, the world-famous riding and archery tactics of the dragoons, half of the credit should be attributed to Wanzhou horses.
In fact, it wasn't until the dragoons arrived at their camp that most of the horse thieves had just been awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, staring at each other with sleepy eyes, not knowing what was happening
Only a few experienced horse thieves knew that they had been attacked at night, and began to roar with all their might, so that those who had not yet figured out what was going on.
The dragoon army is known as the unparalleled light cavalry in the world, its archery skills have always been the first of the cavalry of the Great Qin, especially its running skills, it is even more exquisite, three thousand teams of dragoons, in the three different directions of the horse thief's camp began to shoot, each thousand people to three
A battalion of 100 men took turns, constantly plucking their longbows and shooting out dense feathered arrows.
The accompanying tribal officers, looking at the dragoons riding on their horses, the dense rain of arrows that kept rotating, looked stupid, such an uninterrupted and continuous rain of arrows, they asked themselves if they could dismount and shoot flat, but they wanted them to ride their horses, while maintaining movement, also
To achieve the dense coherence of the rain of arrows has been accurate, they feel that they will not be able to do it in their lifetime.
By the time each dragoon had fired ten arrows, the improvised fortifications on the outskirts of the horse thief camp were already full of dead men, and the horse thieves had no power to resist under the sudden and dense fire. Almost at the same time, three dragoons of a thousand troops, to
The precise formation, like the camp of horse thieves, broke in, those simple and scarce antlers to resist the horses, could not stop their advance at all, at this time the horse thieves camp was already in chaos, there was no way to form an effective counterattack, the dragoons in a team of thirty
Six people as a unit, began to intersperse and divide the entire horse thief camp.
Several elite cavalry teams, guided by the scouts, slaughtered and set fire to the warehouses where the horse thieves stocked up on grain and grass. Seeing the burning grain and grass hoarding ground, the leader of this gang of more than 2,000 horse thieves was about to go crazy, and the foundation he had worked so hard to build was here
He burned the fire cleanly, but he had no choice, and the military flag raised by the dragoons who set fire to and slashed everywhere let him know that he was finished, and with his henchmen, he didn't care about the rest of the people, and fled directly.
"What a guy who doesn't have much responsibility." Looking at the fleeing leader of the horse thieves, Ma Jun and Li Ang rode side by side into the chaotic horse thief camp, at which time the dragoons began to gather together and released their way to the panicked horse thieves. See that there is a way to live, those
Originally gathered together. Desperately resisting, the horse thieves soon scattered and fled.
The whole battle, in just half an hour, had already ended, and the original horse thief village was turned into a pile of ruins in the raging fire. Under the rising sun,
They regrouped, led the herd of camels and horses, and headed for the next horse thief.
In three days, Leon led the dragoons to run six hundred miles, and defeated five horse thieves' dens in succession, and they could have wiped out all the horse thieves, but each time they left a way for the horse thieves to survive, and after burning their grain and grass, they burned their lairs to a white ground.
Those horse thieves who fled in all directions. Some fled to the 'Prairie Fire', while others became rogues. The tribes scattered in the desert began a frenzied raid, but these rogues without exception did not dare to go to the sphere of influence of Hongyun Mountain
The desert knew that the dragoons were suppressing bandits.
Those horse thieves who were watching were all frightened, and no one knew if they would become the next target of the Great Qin Dragoon. Some of the horse thieves simply abandoned their nests and simply fled to the 'Prairie Fire' with all their food and grass.
On the hillside, the dragoon scouts with binoculars saw their prey again, "Go back and report to your lordship, just say that twenty miles to the west, there is a group of horse thieves, numbering about five thousand people, judging from the flag, it seems to be a mixed team of three horse thieves." "Put down the binoculars. The scout team was speaking to the scouts next to them, telling them to go back and report back. I stayed on my own.
Under the hot sun, the red wolf looked at the desert as far as the eye could see, and cursed the dragoons in his mouth, because of these terrible Qin people, he had to take all his belongings and two other groups of people to the 'Liaoyuan Fire', thinking that from now on, he would listen
Ordered by others, he felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, but he didn't dare to stay in the lair, in the past half a month, the terrifying Great Qin Dragoon Army has broken through eleven groups of horse thieves in a row, and all the guys who escaped said that they didn't meet people, they were more terrifying than demons
Army, thinking of those horse thieves who were defeated in broad daylight, he couldn't help but shudder, looked at the vast team behind him, and his heart settled down a little.
In a hidden valley twenty miles away from the horse thief brigade, after listening to the scout's reply, Li Ang immediately gathered all the officers, and the current dragoon army became more terrifying than half a month ago, when they saw blood.
"The progress of this sweep has been beyond my expectations." Li Ang looked at the officers sitting around and said in a deep voice, "Most of the remaining horse thieves have already begun to move towards the territory of the 'Liaoyuan Fire', and it can be said that we have no fixed targets to strike. ”
"Now twenty miles west of us, there is a mixed gang of horse thieves, about five thousand men, which is far more numerous than in any of our previous battles." Li Ang glanced at all the officers, "The terrain around here is extremely flat and vast.
There is no place for us to launch a raid, and this time it will be an encounter. ”
"After this battle, we will go back, let us fight this battle well, and let everyone know what a real cavalry is." Li Ang said in a deep voice, "Now, go back to the whole team and tell the soldiers that this is the last battle, and there is no need to spare the arrows and do not have to stay."
Hand, what we have to do is to kill those horse thieves as much as possible, to shock all the people, and to make them fearful. ”
"Whoa!" The officers replied loudly, the battle in the past half a month had already aroused their killing intent, in the previous battles, they always stopped at the end, that feeling made them very depressed, and now they were excited to hear that they could fight without scruples
up.
"I'm going to go on a killing spree!" Ma Jun looked at Li Ang, in the past half a month, he basically didn't make a move, after all, those horse thieves were too weak, and the soldiers of the Dragoon Army alone were enough to kill them.
"It's not a killing, it's just a demonstration." Looking at Ma Jun, Li Ang smiled, "Sometimes exaggerated rumors can ruin the morale of an army that is not so aligned. ”
"It's a painful thing to be an enemy with you." Ma Jun shook his head, "If the group of people who burned the prairie fire took the initiative to attack from the beginning, they might still have some chances, but they chose to wait for death." ”
"The fire has to wait for death, those horse thieves who defected to him certainly made them powerful, but they are also an unstable factor, to truly unify all the horse thieves who defected, they need time, and there are a lot of them." Li Ang said disapprerovingly, "Hold your ground,
It was his inevitable choice. ”
"Your gun looks good, I'll see it later." Looking at Li Ang, who connected the three guns together, Ma Jun lifted his iron gun and pointed.
"You won't be disappointed." Li Ang loaded the head of the gun and looked at the iron spear in Ma Jun's hand, "Speaking of which, I have never seen you wield a spear before, I really want to see how strong your Ma family's spear skills are." ”
"You'll find out later." Ma Jun picked up his gun and got on his horse and smiled at Li Ang, "Do you want to have a try?" ”
"How do you compare?" Li Ang also got on the war horse, and he also had a bit of a war-like mood after not doing much in the past half a month.
"The banner of the Chinese army of horse thieves, whoever arrives first will win." Ma Jun replied, saying that he rode his horse with Li Ang and led the three thousand dragoons out of the valley.
"Okay, do as you say." Leon agreed, and he had a new understanding of his spear skills during this time, and he happened to try his hand at those horse thieves.
The red wolf's eyelids jumped, "What a obscurity! Looking at the black banner suddenly raised in the distance, he cursed, and at this time, the entire team of horse thieves was in an uproar, and the legendary Great Qin Dragoon finally found them.
"What a howl!" The red wolf angrily whipped a panicked horse thief in the face of a panicked horse thief beside him, and reprimanded loudly, although he himself was a little timid in his heart, but he could not show a little fear, otherwise, before the battle was fought, the hearts of the people would be scattered.
Like the red wolf, the leaders of the other two groups of horse thieves also suppressed the commotion under their respective commands, and they sent messengers to contact each other, and finally the leaders of the three horse thieves who were on the road together gathered together and discussed countermeasures.
"Send someone over first to see if you can get a way out." The red wolf didn't want to get involved with the dragoons, in his opinion, if he could, it was the best choice to surrender directly to the dragoons, after all, with the 'fire', not only could he lose his authority, but he would still be
Still a thief, there is no future to talk about.
Looking at the red wolf, the other two horse thief leaders finally nodded together and agreed with his idea. Chapter 153 Fierce Battle, Ranger Attack!
The editor asked Lao Bing to fight for a monthly pass, sweat first! It's still the same sentence, right, I really don't like canvassing, and I feel a little sorry for everyone.
Under the black banner, Li Ang glanced at the kneeling horse thieves in front of him, looked at the team of horse thieves formed in a circle in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell your leader that I refuse to accept their surrender!" His voice was cold, and the kneeling horse thief unconsciously struck him
With a grim face, he stood up, jumped on his horse, and galloped away.
The horn sounded, and in the blowing wind, it was transmitted to the four fields, and the three thousand teams of the dragoons lined up in front of the horse thief's team in an inverted zigzag. Then the battle cry of the Great Qin Legion rang out like a thunder tide, "Wind-gale, wind-gale, wind--
Gale! "This war cry of the Western Qin, which follows the Warring States Period, resounded in the sky, and it was more shocking than the beating of war drums.
"Great Qin Wuwei!" Leon roared loudly as he watched the galloping horse thieves rush back to his team, and then the sound of furious hooves drowned out all sounds, and the dragoons rushed to the horse thieves in the distance, and the longbows in their hands began to run in the river on which they depended
Archery array.
From the thousand-step range of the longbow, the horse thieves in the formation were attacked by a covering array of arrows from the outside to the inside, from the soldiers with rudimentary leather shields on the outermost part to the horse thieves near the inside of the circle were all rounded by the concentrated shooting of the longbow.
Five hundred paces away, the thirty thousand men of the Dragoons stopped, a distance that was the limit of the range of the bow and arrow in the hand of the horse thief, while the soldiers of the Dragoon could continue the covering arrow formation with the longbow in their hand.
Although the horse thieves only killed and injured more than 300 people, compared to 5,000 people. It's nothing, but their morale is extremely low. The bows and arrows in their hands couldn't shoot those dragoons at all, but the other party could shoot with a distance of nearly a thousand at will
Arrows, can only be beaten but not fought back, such a battle has no chance of winning at all.
Looking at the shrinking horse thief formation, Li Ang gave the order for the whole army to shoot, and the dragoons began to stop concentrating on shooting. Instead, they began to gallop sideways, looking for their respective targets, and shooting arrows from the ground in their hands.
There was no longer the terrifying oppression of the black-pressed arrows, but for the horse thieves in formation, the dragoons who began to shoot were even more terrifying, because they didn't know when a feathered arrow would be nailed to their heads or pierced through their points
The horse thieves on the periphery began to riot, and their rudimentary leather shields could not withstand the longbows and arrows fired within five hundred paces.
The red wolf listened to his subordinates and looked at the silent horse thief leaders. "We must send out cavalry and attack them. If we keep shrinking like this, we will be slowly played to death by them, and the people outside are already about to mutiny. ”
"Attack, is it your land or mine." Listening to the red wolf's words, one of the horse thieves raised his head. This may be the common problem of these people, even if they are dying, they still think about their own belongings.
"They're in three directions, one of us." The red wolf had a fierce light in his eyes, he didn't want to sit still, "If you continue to wait, you don't need them to rush over, the little cubs under our hands will be scared, what do you think will happen then?" ”
"Okay, listen to you. Let's fight with them on one side. The other horse thief leader jerked his head up. said loudly, "Since they don't give us a way to live, let's fight with them." ”
In the horse thief formation, the horse thief leaders began to encourage the people under their hands, hearing that they had no way to live, and the Great Qin dragoon on the opposite side wanted to drive them all out, and those depressed horse thieves were aroused to be ferocious, they red eyes, got on their horses and rushed out of the formation
went and killed three dragoons in different directions.
"Divide the troops, are they crazy?" Looking at the three horse thieves who rushed out of the horse thief formation, the tribal officers who had already learned some of the art of war muttered to themselves in amazement, in their opinion, the horse thieves who planned to compete with the dragoons
It's just looking for death.
"It's a cunning tactic!" Seeing the horse thief's actions, Ma Jun shook his head and muttered to himself, and Li Ang on his side also showed a mocking expression, and the pro-soldiers around them also laughed disdainfully, dividing their troops to entangle them who were scattered, and then stayed in the formation
Two thousand horse thieves chose a dragoon army of 1,000 people as the object of encirclement and annihilation, the idea was good, but it was a pity that they ignored the huge gap in combat power. The horse thieves seemed to have forgotten that.
"Show them what a real cavalry is!" The thousand households of the two dragoons on the left and right shouted, and the dragoons under their command began an exquisite cavalry tactical movement, and they galloped backwards, stretching the line into a moon arc, and the rushing horses
The thief kept a distance of four hundred paces, beckoning them with his longbow.
Seeing the retreating dragoons, the horse thieves were stunned, and then they howled, and chased after them even more respectfully, they did not realize in the slightest that although there were no terrible arrows that were overwhelming, but those feathered arrows that were fired from time to time were terrifying, almost every four or five arrows, he
Some of them were shot by arrows and fell. By the time the leader of the horse thieves who led the group came to their senses, they were already far away from their main formation, and at this time, the thousand-man team of dragoons, who had thinned the formation, began their real attack.
With the sound of the horn of the changing formation, the dragoons who had been retreating suddenly turned their horses back, like a big wave against the current surging towards the horse thieves chasing behind them, and the cavalry formation that had already formed a half-moon arc completed the encirclement of the horse thieves almost instantly.
"Kill out, their front is so thin!" The leaders shouted, after all, the depth of the dragoons surrounding them was too thin, but they had forgotten the crossbow of Great Qin, the Qin crossbow that was powerful in the world.
The crossbow used by the dragoons can be pierced within one hundred and fifty steps, ten per barrel, and it is also very convenient to change the barrel, in the face of the horse thieves who rushed intensively and tried to break through the encirclement, the dragoons pulled the crossbow machine in their hands, and then removed the quiver, and then buckled the crossbow machine after replacing it.
Before the horse thieves rushed within a hundred paces of them, they shot four barrels of crossbows, and forty thousand short crossbows shot the horse thieves who were charging in a dense formation, and the horse thieves who had been hit by the arrows fell to the ground with their horses, and were trampled into a blur of flesh and blood by the horses that rushed behind
Regiment.
Under the repeated blows of longbows and repeaters. Half of the horse thieves were killed or wounded, and the powerful speed of the Wanzhou horses ridden by the dragoons also made them understand what it means to be an iron horse that comes and goes like the wind. No matter how much they tried to escape, they couldn't escape the dagoon's appearance
The thin encirclement and annihilation front, under the repeated unsuccessful impacts, they began to despair, and
The casualties were as high as 60 percent.
Killing and wounding nearly sixty percent of the enemy army with a bow and crossbow can be used to launch a charge melee battle, which is the tactic followed by the dragoons. Like cats playing with mice, after torturing the enemy army to the point of near collapse, the dragoons began to shrink their line and then began their high speed
Breaking through, dividing, interspersed, the only remaining horse thieves were cut into small pieces of remnants under the swift charge of the dragoons, doing the last futile battle of the trapped beasts.
The two thousand-strong teams of dragoons on the left and right used such ranger strangulation tactics to completely encircle and annihilate the horse thieves who were entangled. Unlike the dragoons on both wings. In the face of the onrushing horse thief team, Leon and the horse army did not attack with any bows and crossbows. but
The whole army fought with them in an assault formation.
Li Ang, Murong Ke, Feng Sha, Hu Luguang, Huang Yuan, Ma Jun. The attack of the seven Thule men, as the arrows of the entire cavalry, was almost terrifying, and under their onslaught, only a moment after the two armies intersected, they completely cut through the horse thief field and divided it
Cut it open, and then began to intersperse, and carried out the tactic of cutting the flesh.
Leon waved the spear in his hand, and the trembling silver spear stabbed forward like a torrential rain, and almost all the horse thieves in his way lost their lives after seeing a dazzling phantom. They were either pierced in the throat or shot through the chest. Fundamental even counterattacked
They died before they had time to do it.
Ma Jun is different from Li Ang, his family's fierce spear skills are extremely fierce marksmanship, not as brilliant as Li Ang's inner marksmanship, some only have strong power that can break through the mountains, and every time he shoots out, there will inevitably be a horse thief killed, accompanied by his wild howl
screaming, the ground horse thief who stood in front of him lost even the courage to fight him.
Looking at the team that was constantly being encroached upon, the horse thief camp finally stirred, and the red wolf and the other horse thief leaders looked at the melee dragoon army, showing a resolute look, they blocked all their hopes in this battle, and they personally took the rest
Less than 2,000 horse thieves were killed, and as long as they could completely annihilate the thousand-man team of the dragoons in front of them, they could survive.
Looking at the rushing horse thief army, Li Ang ordered people to blow the horn, even the melee dragoon army, still maintained its strict formation, a team of twelve people, all in a group of three, each group can maintain a state of mutual support at any time, listen
At the sound of the horn, they began to use the repeater that had not been used, and under the intensive fire of the repeater at close range, the horse thieves who were entangled with them had no power to fight back, and could only be shot into hedgehogs by the terrifying weapons in this short distance.
Before the attack of the horse thief army, the dragoon army had already defeated the horse thief team that was fighting with them, and under the orders of officers at all levels, they reorganized the formation in a very short time, and once again met the surging horse thief team with an assault formation.
Li Ang and the horse army looked at the banner of the Chinese army at the same time, and at the same time rushed out, and under the leadership of their leading soldiers, the dragoon army rushed towards the horse thief team twice their own number with a terrifying momentum that was no return.
Blood fluttering, Leon used the 'pick' spear technique, a shot pierced the throat of the first horse thief, his arm violently forced, the horse thief flew in the air, and smashed heavily into the horse thief team on the side, this terrible shot, made the horse thieves who witnessed it tremble, and
The soldiers of the Dragoon Army looked at this gun and cheered loudly, Li Ang's spear skills were exactly the same as those of Zhao Yun, the founding general of the Dragoon Army one hundred and fifty years ago.
Legend has it that Zhao Yun was in the Persian Iron Cavalry Army, even picked a hundred people, beheaded the general to capture the flag, killed the Persians frightened, after this battle, Emperor Taizu personally composed music for it, made a war song, and named it the general of Zhennan, the title of duke.
"If thousands of troops and horses are idle, the heroic wind is sharp and the enemy is cold. A robe is stained with blood, and the battlefield is often dedicated to this heart pill. Zilong, Zilong, unparalleled in the world, the famous general of Zhennan. ”
Watching Li Ang pick a few people in a row, a dragoon officer sang this war song with a lot of blood, and then the dragoon soldiers beside him also sang in response, "If thousands of troops and horses are idle, the heroic wind is fierce and the enemy is cold." A robe is stained with blood, and the battlefield is often dedicated to this heart pill.
Zilong, Zilong, unparalleled in the world, the famous general of Zhennan. ”
Soon the battlefield resounded with the echoing battle song, and listening to this war song of unknown meaning, every horse thief who fought was terrified, and they found that the dragoons who sang the war song became even more terrifying, they did not care about life and death, and the officers who used their guns almost all used
The 'picking' spear technique that made them tremble, watching their companions be impaled through the body, and then being picked into the air, falling hard, the huge sense of oppression made the horse thief who witnessed it on the verge of collapse.
After overthrowing the twenty-one people in a row, Li Ang was already a little exhausted, he couldn't think of how strong Zhao Yun, the general of Zhennan who picked 100 people in a row, thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but be more divinely at the era of the Great Western Expedition with fierce generals like clouds and strategists like rain
In the past, in Central Asia, Celestial Asia, Western Europe, and Africa for 50 years, these fierce generals and strategists were afraid that they had taken away the heroic spirit of Great Qin for a hundred years, and there was never such a large number of fierce generals and strategists since then.
Looking at the figures flying up from time to time in the distance, Ma Jun knew that the officers of the descendants of the Zhao family in the team once again fell into a fanatical reverence for the achievements of the ancestors, and when he thought of the Yunlong Iron Cavalry in the dragoon army, which was all formed by the children of the Zhao family, Ma Jun's eyes showed a little bit
With a nostalgic look, when those people charged, they were even crazier than they were now.
The children of the Zhao family all look quiet and quiet, but when they go to the battlefield, they are even more crazy and war-hungry than their Malu family, just like their ancestor Zhao Yun, the grandfather of Zhennan, under the peaceful appearance is a fighting heart eager to kill. Pull out the iron spear, Ma Jun looked
Seeing the horse thief who fell in front of him, he looked around the four fields, looking at the Zhao officers who disregarded their bodies and used the 'picking' spear technique, he couldn't help but think like this.
With a crazy fighting spirit, a fighting spirit that ignores life and death, and a will not to retreat, the horse thieves finally understand why those defeated horse thieves would call Daqin's army a demonic army. They are more terrible than demons, their eyes are cold, and they can't see fear or fear
Stirred up by blood, all they see is cool madness and the killing power that destroys everything.
Despair spreads among the horse thieves, who are gradually forced out of the closest side of human nature to the beast, and they begin the final battle of the trapped beasts without risking their lives.
