Chapter 197: Wall Charge
"Sure enough, it's attacking both wings!"
After watching the Hu people of the two divisions prepare to attack the left and right flanks of the Xixiang cavalry respectively, Liu Ye showed a meaningful smile.
"Now that it's here! Don't try to leave easily! I hope you enjoy the gifts that you have prepared for you. Liu Ye muttered.
"Beat the drum and raise the flag! Passing on the Decree! Act according to Plan A! Be sure to defeat the main force of the Hu people. I don't want to annihilate them all, but I want to kill more Hulu. Liu Ye ordered to the attendant next to him.
After the number of troops exceeds 1,000 people, it is somewhat inappropriate to use yelling, heralds, etc. to convey orders. Not to mention that the efficiency is too low, and it is easy to delay the fighter. The ancient people of Shenzhou noticed this problem very early, so the method of issuing orders with the sound of drums and trumpets appeared in the army. In addition to boosting morale, the main purpose of drumming and trumpeting is to convey military orders.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......""Woo! Woo! Woo! ......" sounded. The Saigo light cavalry on the left and right flanks formed a sharp formation under the leadership of their respective officers and began to jog, trot, and run in the middle, and finally rushed towards the Hu people who were also galloping on the opposite side with all their might.
Although the left and right flanks of the Saigo Army were all charging in arrows. But if there is a God's perspective to find out. The left flank of the Saigo cavalry was much denser than the right flank. Yes, this is a big cavalry tactic that Liu Ye brought to the Xixiang cavalry. The 'wall charge' that modern cavalry is most proud of. The wall charge was not very effective against the archers. However, due to the problem of the bow strength of the cavalry, the cavalry archers had not yet risen, and the cavalry was the main force of the army. But in the face of the assault cavalry, the Saigo light cavalry army with a wall charge was not intimidated at all. However, the wall charge was somewhat difficult to train, and the entire Saigo cavalry was only learned by the A brigade.
Cavalry in high speed, which moves very fast, and the battle is carried out very quickly. The two armies met, and in a short time, hundreds of people were killed and wounded.
"How is this possible?" Looking at the Commander of the Headquarters who had been pierced by that strange cavalry, Lord Houwu couldn't believe it.
The dignified steppe wolf would be defeated by the weak Zhao people with the same military strength. Lord Hougobu didn't dare to imagine it before the war. If it weren't for the sound of fighting and screaming in my ears from time to time. Lord Atsugobu would even think he was dreaming. Actually, it's a matter of luck on the part of Lord Gobu. Who let him meet the only group A in the Saigo cavalry that can charge against the wall. If you change to another Saigo Cavalry (except for the Xiao Cavalry). The roles of both sides will definitely be reversed.
"Brother, it seems that your people can't do it! Would you like me to help you? Looking at the deflated Lord Atsugobu, Lord Tutunube smiled. Compared with the Houwu Division, the Tutunu Division's assault is progressing very smoothly. Although the Saigo cavalry was much more numerous than the Tutuno army, it was clearly at a disadvantage.
'Damn bastard! ’
Although he hated Tutunubu very much, he didn't dare to show it. After all, he is now under the fence and has to bow his head. However, in his heart, his hatred for Lord Tutunu increased.
"Don't bother the brothers! The blood of the warriors of my Houwu tribe is not yet cold. You can fight again! Lord Ago said with the same smile.
"Uru, you go and reorganize the part and attack again!" Immediately afterward, Lord Hougobu ordered to a sturdy Hu man next to him.
"No!" Uru replied. Immediately afterwards rode away.
Looking at the rushing Uru, Lord Tutunubu's heart was very complicated. Ulu is a condor archer of the Houwu Department and is very famous in Langya County. For Ulu, Lord Tutunu is greedy and has always wanted to take it for himself. When Lord Hougo fled to the Tutunu Ministry, Lord Tutunu also wooed him several times, but he was rejected by the loyal Uru. This made Tutunu beloved and hated at the same time. In fact, the Tutunu tribe also had warriors with the name of Uluqi. But in the last battle against the Xixiang Army, he was beheaded by the goblins. However, Lord Tutunubu is not in a hurry, after all, the Houwu Department has been destroyed, and the Lord of the Houwu Department is already a rootless duckweed. As for whether he can win over Ulu, Lord Tutunubu is very confident.
Uru, the Condor Archer, was not only a strong individual, but also had a hand in commanding cavalry. He could see the power of this strange cavalry. Therefore, after regrouping the team, he did not choose to continue to fight this strange cavalry, but attacked the rest of the Saigo cavalry. The intention was to mix with the rest of the cavalry on Saigo's left flank and engage in a scuffle. to counteract the charge of this monstrous cavalry.
I have to say that Uru's choice is not wrong, if he continues to hedge, in the face of the wall charge, the Houwu Department really has no chance of winning. But now, Ulu is facing a new problem. That is, after losing the speed of the horse, the assault cavalry is not much stronger than the ordinary Saigo light cavalry. And the Houwu Department will face the siege of several times the Saigo Light Cavalry. This made the adults of the Houwu Division, who were watching the battle in the rear, scold the Ulu waste.
However, this time, Lord Tutunu did not laugh at him, because at this time, the Tutunu Troop also fell into the siege of the right-wing Saigo Army. The right-wing Xixiang Army counterbalanced the speed of the Tutunu troops with more than 100 cavalry casualties. Then the Saigo cavalry on the right flank swarmed up and engaged in a melee with them. What's even worse is that Saigo's Xiao cavalry army is eyeing them. With Liangjiazi as the core, plus some elite cavalry, the cavalry army is formed. Its combat power is not inferior to that of the Hu people. Plus equipment that far surpasses the Assault Rider. In the face of the cavalry army, the Hu people were very uncomfortable. And compared to charging, the cavalry is better at melee combat. After the cavalry joined the battlefield on the right flank, the Tutunu tribe's cavalry immediately fell into disadvantage. And over time, the disadvantage will grow.
"It can't go on like this! Brother, we have planted this battle today. Withdraw! Seeing that the form was becoming more and more unfavorable to the party, Lord Houwubu hurriedly said.
"Okay! Brothers! Fight again in the future! Lord Tutunu nodded in agreement.
"Look, my lord! An enemy general is rushing towards us on a single horse! ”
"Riding alone?" "What an arrogant Zhao dog!" Tutunube-sama said angrily. Although they lost. But there are nearly 100 guards around him, and all of them are elite cavalry. How could a little Zhao dog deal with it? Feeling that he was being underestimated, Lord Tutunubu was very angry, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would make this Zhao dog pay the price of his life.
However, when he looked up and saw the commander of the horseman, Lord Tutunu was surprised at first, and then frightened in an instant.
"White Wolf Silver King?" Lord Tutunubu shuddered.
Familiar silver armor, familiar silver helmet, familiar silver horse, familiar silver halberd......
These familiar things evoked memories of fear in the hearts of Tutunube. He still remembered that the strongest warrior of the Tutunu tribe had been strangled by her with one hand.
"Quick, quick, retreat! It's the Wolf King. Everyone immediately retreated. Watch out for her witchcraft and don't look into her eyes! Lord Tutunu didn't dare to give the order to resist, and hurriedly shouted. Then he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away.
It was the first time that Lord Hougobu, who was on the side, had seen Lord Tutunubu so panicked. But he's not stupid. Although he hadn't seen the White Wolf Silver King with his own eyes, it was definitely not something simple to make Lord Tutunu scare like this. For the sake of safety, Lord Hougobu also immediately pulled out his horse and ran. This made the goblin chasing after him very depressed. But since they wanted to escape, there was nothing the goblin could do. In order to protect the Wind Chaser, the goblin equipped it with a vest. Although the defense has gone up, it is not suitable for long-distance pursuit. If these Hu people blindly want to escape, the little goblins will definitely not be able to catch up. The little goblin could only carry the silver halberd back to vent his anger on the turquoise riders who had not yet fled.
Half an hour later, the biggest cavalry battle since the formation of the Saigo Cavalry finally came to an end. The Saigo cavalry defeated the Tuhou coalition army at the cost of more than 200 casualties. More than 300 cavalrymen were killed and wounded, and a small victory was achieved.
In this battle, the Xiao Cavalry showed their strength as the elite of Saigo. Inflicted heavy damage on the Tutunu trio. More than one hundred and fifty levels of decapitation. It accounted for half of the entire Saigo cavalry. However, its brilliance was overshadowed by the A Brigade of the Light Cavalry. With the same military strength, defeat the Assault Cavalry that is far stronger than them head-on. This is not an easy task. And for the first time, the power of the wall charge is truly on display in this strange era.
……
Just when Liu Ye was fighting with the Tuhou coalition army. In Sili's Xinhui, a decisive battle was also fought between the Liang rebels and Shi Zhao's conquest of Li Nong, the governor of the capital.
It is different from Liu Ye's small-scale group warfare with only a few thousand people. The two sides brought together more than 200,000 troops. It's an authentic large-scale group war.
At the beginning of the battle, the situation was in Shi Zhao's favor. Shi Min, the general of the conquest, held a double-edged spear and stepped on a vermilion horse to challenge.
As the later King of Ran Wei, Shi Min at this time couldn't beat the goblin (theoretically). But its courage can be passed down through the ages, and it definitely does not come out by blowing. Shi Min rode alone in front of the Liang Qian array and beheaded five rebel brave generals in a row. The morale of the rebels dropped again and again.
But wars are never decided by individual heads-up. Although Shi Min greatly damaged the morale of the rebels with his personal bravery. But the performance of Shi Zhao's army in the ensuing battle was quite unbearable.
All kinds of selling teammates, all kinds of not saving them, all kinds of not obeying orders, and so on. In the rebel army with Liang Li, Shi Zhao's army can be regarded as a one-touch collapse. In order to preserve their strength, many Hu generals ran away without even fighting. was so angry that the commander Li Nong scolded his mother loudly in the Chinese army.
After the defeat of Xinhui, Li Nong regrouped his forces in Luoyang to prepare for another battle. When the battle damage of Xinhui was counted afterwards, Li Nong was so angry that he once again stomped his feet. In the entire Xinhui War, Shi Zhao's army only lost less than 3,000 in total. Can you believe this kind of war damage? You know, this is a battle of more than 200,000 people! This shows how hard this group of people must have escaped.
