Chapter 234
Chapter 234
The dark clouds in the sky were pressed very low, as if they could fall from the sky at any time, and the southeast wind kept blowing, spreading the awe-inspiring killing intent to every corner of the Luling Plain. Fun mini-games .
On the south side of the Luling Plain, hundreds of military flags of the Tianwei Army fluttered against the wind, all kinds of weapons and armor still reflected the infiltrating cold in this cloudy day, the left wing of the Tianwei Army was the Blade Army led by Ren Shuai, the right wing was the Lightning Army led by Du Bing, the Chinese army had Li Xiaoyun's Yulin Army, as well as the third regiment of the Black Panther Army veterans and Wang Xiaoer's fourth regiment, and the rear wing was Tang Yunlong's catapult troops.
In the center of the Tianwei Army's array, dozens of golden dragon flags formed a golden wave, which looked extremely conspicuous, a gorgeously decorated carriage was surrounded by golden waves, Qian Buli was dressed in military uniform, his face was neat, guarding the side of the carriage, Cheng Da led the murderous personal guards to protect Qian Buli's back, and then on the periphery was the three thousand Tianxiang army led by Wang Rui.
In this battle, the Tianwei Legion dispatched 30,000 troops, the first regiment of Meng Tietou and the second regiment of Fuliang of the Black Panther Army were kept as reserves by Qian Buli, and the armor-breaking army led by Sun Zhongde and Yu Chujie's rear army were also ready to go, and in the place where the scouts of the Tielang Legion were difficult, the Wind Army led by Zheng Xinglang was quietly circling.
Every soldier of the Tianwei Army stood there quietly, looking from a distance, it was like a huge and silent beast silently waiting for the opportunity to hunt, and the endless killing intent condensed and steamed in the heads of the soldiers of the Tianwei Army, and then dispersed to the four fields with the wind.
Gui Ming, the general of the Iron Wave Legion, finally decided to fight, in his opinion. This is a rare opportunity to defeat the Tianwei Army in one fell swoop! The day before yesterday, Ji Shengqing came to the Luling Plain with great fanfare, yesterday Qian Buli led the whole army out of the camp to challenge, and today is a cloudy day, Qian Buli even dared to come out to challenge, it is obvious that Ji Shengqing, who does not know the height of the sky, is borrowing his identity as a princess to exert influence!
Qian Buli thought that after Meng Tietou and Fuliang annihilated the infantry brigade of the Tielang Legion in the Nanling Mountains one after another, Gui Ming would inevitably draw troops from the battalion in order to protect the safety of the grain road. Who knew that Gui Ming made a judgment similar to Qian Buli. The number of Tianwei troops was originally small, and they also sent troops to lurk in Nanling. Therefore, the strength of the large camp must be weak, so Gui Ming transferred back 3,000 troops guarding the Chishui Bridge, and 8,000 people from the eight infantry brigades in Nanlingdi. The grain and grass stored by the Iron Wave Legion are enough for a month's loss, if the money is not left within ten days, it will still not be defeated. It's not too late to go back to guarding the grain road, and the decision to temporarily abandon the grain road can be regarded as a crazy decision, a decent general would not dare to make such a decision, of course, it is difficult for a decent general to sit in the position of a general.
Both commanders thought that the other party's battalion was weak, and the result could only be that both of them were surprised.
In response to Qian Buli's deployment, Gui Ming transferred five catapults to the left flank and ordered Liu Yongmin to lead the most elite 8,000 soldiers to set up tripwires, antlers, and thistles. Advancing slowly, the cavalry of the Tianwei Army was the most headache for Gui Ming, he never thought of annihilating the opponent's cavalry, as long as Liu Yongmin could stabilize his position and not let the cavalry of the Tianwei Army easily break through his line, Gui Ming thought that he had won.
Gui Ming ordered Li Xidao to lead 3,000 men to guard the right flank. In order to ensure that the right wing is not lost, Gui Ming transferred a thousand archers from the Chinese army to the right wing, and at the same time transferred the remaining more than 20 catapults.
Gui Ming's tactics are quite clear, the left and right flanks are advancing slowly, concentrating on breaking through in the middle, as long as the location of the Golden Dragon Banner is captured, the defeat of the Tianwei army is a foregone conclusion! Gui Ming is very experienced. Only observed for a moment. He saw that the Chinese army with money was only 20,000 at most, and his own middle army reached 40,000. It's a win!
It's a good idea to capture the thief and capture the king first! Gui Ming led Xue Haifeng, Chang Shuang, Tian Dayu and other generals out of the camp, and led the soldiers to set up a formation, and the two sides were at once.
A burst of war drums suddenly sounded in the Tianwei army, and the left, center, and right armies of the Tianwei army slowly pressed forward, just when Gui Ming was puzzled and stunned, there was a sudden sound of gongs in the Tianwei army, and the three-way army retreated back and stopped in place.
Gui Ming and the generals glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "It seems that . . . Today, there are two main generals in the Tianwei Army! Gui Ming said with great emotion, he remembered the battle orders given to him by Ji Shenglie, the cabinet, and the military department one after another, all saying that the generals would not be subject to the king's orders, but since ancient times, how many generals dare to do it? The result of the audacity is that no matter whether the war is won or lost, it will not escape death! Now the money is inseparable . A bitter stomach, right?!
"I wish I knelt down in front of Her Highness and poured out my heartfelt gratitude. Tian Dayu said with a smile, and the generals laughed loudly, today's money is not supported by that strange weapon, and the military is unstable and has different orders, if it is not defeated, it is simply unreasonable.
"The victory and disgrace of my Iron Wave Legion is in today's battle! Everybody.... Gui Ming said slowly.
"In!" The generals agreed in unison.
And the money in the army in the Tianwei Legion is not leaving, he still looks calm, calmly looks ahead, and raises the telescope on his chest from time to time, this thing is good! Not only can you see the layout of the Iron Wave Legion, but even the expressions of the opposing generals.
"No, what were you doing?" Ji Shengqing, who innocently assumed the name of laughter, asked softly at the car window, to be honest, she didn't know anything about military strategy before, but she has been in contact with money for a long time, and she also understands a lot of common sense. Fighting a war is not a child's game!
"It's nothing, I'm saying hello to Gui Ming. Qian Buli chuckled.
"You man . . . . It's not serious at this time! Ji Shengqing squeezed his nose. It's a pity that through the car curtain, Qian Buli can't see Ji Shengqing's cute expression, and even if he sees him, he can't come over and make love at this time.
"Wang Rui, you take the Tianxiang Army to shoot!" Seeing that the first infantry of 5,000 people in the Iron Wave Legion was approaching, Qian Bu left the order.
The right flank of the Iron Wave Legion was almost standing still, and the left flank was advancing very slowly, which could be clearly seen from the telescope. The left wing of the Iron Wave Legion has devoted great enthusiasm to the work of setting up antlers, tripping horses, etc., and it is obvious. Gui Ming used mopping tactics on the left and right flanks, he wanted to make a breakthrough in the middle, and these five thousand people were just here to test it.
Wang Rui's Tianxiang Army was a cavalry trained according to the training method of rangers, heavy cavalry shooting and light charging formation, scattered as pervasive scouts, gathered into another arrow battalion of the Tianwei Army, although their riding and archery attainments were still not comparable to those of Zamuhe and other warriors who grew on horseback on horseback. But they are better than having a light armor, the manufacturing process of the longbow in their hands has reached the highest level in the world, and they have a simple crossbow in their hands, whether it is long-range, medium-range or short-range, the Tianxiang Army has huge lethality, of course, their level of hand-to-hand combat is not as good as that of the Wind and the Lightning Army.
The Tianxiang Army is a blueprint created by Qian Buli's painstaking efforts, and it is the guarantee for the future to impact the grassland and ride with horseback. And the only problem that keeps money on the side is logistics. Prairie horses are low, but hard-working, they can eat grass for a year in a row and do nothing, and Ji Zhouguo's war horses will have diarrhea if they eat grass for half a month in a row, in other words. The food and grass supplied was not for the soldiers to eat, but to feed the war horses.
Although the lone Tianxiang army did not dare to circle on the flanks for fear of being encircled, their longbows still swung with great power, and rows of arrows rained down into the enemy's formation, and there were always some unlucky ghosts who were injured by the arrows and let out a miserable scream. The sword and shield men in the front row of the Iron Wave Legion charged faster and faster, trying to cut into the cavalry formation, while the Tianxiang Army slowly retreated while shooting arrows to widen the distance between the two sides.
"Xue Haifeng, Chang Shuang!" Gui Ming snorted coldly.
With Gui Ming's order, the Iron Wave Legion launched a second wave of offensive in the blink of an eye. Only fools use fueling tactics. That can only be to send your own soldiers over and let the other party kill them! Given that the Chinese army was only about 20,000 men, Gui Ming made an almost risky decision. The second wave mobilized 20,000 troops to attack, Gui Ming was not worried, he still had a reserve of 15,000 people, enough to deal with any accidents, and he also gathered the scouts and formed a thousand cavalry team, don't think about any losses in the decisive battle, all for the sake of victory, when it comes to the critical moment, he can send this cavalry team out without hesitation, even if it is sent to death.
The momentum of 20,000 people forming four phalanxes approaching forward is quite spectacular, although their footsteps are not to the extent that thousands of horses gallop and make the earth tremble, but the heavy footsteps are like heavy drums, knocking on the hearts of the soldiers of the Tianwei Army, if it is not for the money to sit in the town, all the soldiers of the Tianwei Army think that they are the victors of course, maybe there will be a few people who are out of control.
Seeing that their own side was beginning to attack, the right flank of the Iron Wave Legion threw several stone bullets forward, as if to warn the blade army opposite them not to act rashly! The left flank of the Iron Wave Legion was still slowly approaching, and continued to set up various obstacles to prevent the cavalry from charging.
"That's also called projection? Gui Ming, let you see the scene of future wars now! Qian Buli sneered, looked down at the telescope, and shouted angrily: "Catapult, raise the flag!" ”
Qian Buli jumped vertically from the soldiers behind him, grabbed the rope, pulled a few, and raised the flag of the catapult, Tang Yunlong, who was standing on the watchtower on the rear wing of the Chinese army, had been holding back for a long time, and quickly waved the order flag in his hand. Tom tom . . . . In addition to the heavy footsteps, another terrifying sound suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.
A row of stone bullets broke through the air, drawing arcs full of terrifying power in the air, and smashed into the infantry phalanx of the Iron Wave Legion, and for a while, the blood mist of the stumps flew all over the sky, and the ground was smashed and trembled. Withstood the attack of this stone bullet, and either died or fainted. There was no chance to scream, and the soldiers who screamed indiscriminately were unharmed, frightened by the horrific attack, but their screams were quickly cut off by the Warlords: "Those who disturb the hearts of the soldiers. "The general of the overseer team didn't say the word 'chop', he stared blankly at the sky, because the second row of stone bullets had already smashed down on them, and the casualties just now were not the end of the nightmare. Rather, the nightmare begins!
In this world, catapults are the supreme weapon for siege and siege. But few generals use catapults in field battles, to be precise, on a large scale in field battles, because catapults are too slow, and after one round, the enemy has rushed to the front and has no chance to shoot a second round. And it takes more than a dozen soldiers to operate a catapult in wartime. If it is transported over long distances, plus the transportation of stone bullets, maintenance and refurbishment, a catapult will occupy more than 50 soldiers, not including cattle and horses, and most importantly, the degree of dragging down the advance of the army. Instead of using fifty men on catapults, let them be the simplest shields, and can a catapult kill fifty people in a field battle? You can't kill it! It is perfect that a stone bullet can cause more than a dozen casualties in a single stone, and there are many times when the catapult releases empty bullets and does not even hit a single person. To the people of this world. This is a very simple arithmetic problem, fifty shield-bearers can't kill one of them, right?
It has become a popular belief that catapults can only be used to siege the city, and Gui Ming, who is experienced in Rao, has only prepared more than 20 catapults, and Qian Buli has taken advantage of waiting for work at ease, and has prepared more than 200 catapults, thousands of stone bullets, and subway balls the size of a mountain fist. From the analysis of this huge reserve, Qian Buli simply wants to become famous in a war and make himself the originator of modern artillery warfare.
Every twenty catapults were in a row, forming a ten-row array, echelon projection, which was a way to extend a small area to cover the shooting without changing the range of the catapults. When the enemy sees the people in front of them being smashed to pieces, they will naturally retreat backwards or stop in place, and naturally become the target of the next row of stone bullets.
Strictly speaking. The casualties caused by the catapults caused by the money-inseparable catapults to the Iron Wave Legion were not large. Stone shells are not shells after all, although the formation of the Iron Wave Legion is compact. But the number of direct casualties has only just reached a thousand. However, mentally speaking, twenty stone bullets in a row, as if they were shooting in an eternal way, brought great terror to the soldiers of the Iron Wave Legion, and their morale plummeted. It's nothing to rush up in the rain of arrows, hiding under the shield will turn the corner, maybe hiding behind will be injured by stray arrows, but the shadow of the stone bullet is still sliding in the air ahead, that thing is not something that the shield can block, who wants to turn into a mess of mud?
The right wing of the Iron Wave Legion stopped shooting stone-throwing, and after seeing the real stone-throwing, they couldn't help but look at the main battlefield blankly. And the left flank of the Tielang Army also began to rectify in situ, Liu Yongmin's vision is very powerful, the key is in the main battlefield, if the Chinese army's attack is unfavorable, he must defend the position, and the cavalry of the Tianwei Army cannot be interspersed with the main battlefield.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Iron Wave Legion were gradually shrinking back, and they couldn't even control the battle team, Gui Ming, who was watching the battle, was furious: "Tian Dayu! Give you 2,000 people to be the overseer team, and if you retreat, you will be able to kill it immediately! ”
"Yes, General!" Tian Dayu agreed and rushed out with his headquarters.
Dozens of war drums in the Tielang Legion's main formation sounded together, and the drums shook the sky, after all, the soldiers of the Tielang Legion had experienced a lot of battle formations, although they were still nervous in their hearts, but they still reformed the formation under the shouting of the Shangguan. It's a pity that when they charged, they were in chaos again, they scrambled to rush through the death line in front, and rushing over in time represented peace, although it was temporary peace.
The entire Iron Wave Legion charged, and the Tianwei Legion's car formation was naturally all projected, but this time it was not a stone bullet, but an iron ball. Each catapult has twenty iron balls in its nest, which is not much, but two hundred catapults are projected together, which is four thousand iron balls! At the moment when the iron ball rose from the ground, the already dim sky suddenly became darker, and four thousand iron balls occupied a whole part of the sky, rushing down like ten thousand birds throwing into a forest, and the iron balls kept colliding and rubbing between them, and there were dull or piercing chirps, splashing one after another of dead blood flowers in the crowd of the Iron Wave Legion, although the blood flowers were shorter than the epiphany, they looked extremely lush and dense, and almost everything was dyed red.
"Catapults are flying at half-mast!" Qian Buli is a person who will never let go of any opportunity: "The Yulin Army, the Tianxiang Army, and the Black Panther Army raise the flag!" ”
The Tianxiang Army, which retreated to its own formation under the advance of the Iron Wave Legion, shouted and rushed out from the right flank led by Wang Rui, while Li Xiaoyun led the Yulin Army to rush up, fighting with the strikers of the Iron Wave Legion who were half-shot and frightened by the tragic scene of reinforcements, Fang Laosheng and Wang Xiaoer's Black Panther Army outflanked from both wings and wrapped this team of forwards inside.
