Chapter 135: Recovering Hexi (6)

After Wan Yi signaled the cavalry corps to start moving, he led the frontal Chinese army to rush forward with the Modao battalion and the heavy cavalry battalion, and at this time, the heavy cavalry battalion had already relied on its advantage as a horse heavy cavalry, and began to break away from the contact with the Modao battalion and crush the coalition cavalry that was driven away by himself.

At this time, Yige also began his own mobilization, asking his adjutant general to transfer his direct troops to the front line, and urged the two coalition groups behind him to carry out a Jedi counterattack on the spot. But the reality at this time was that after the defeat of the first group was reversed, the entire front-line scene was already chaotic, and Yige's command was difficult to convey to the front-line generals.

However, it has to be said that Yige was able to organize this kind of temporary coalition cavalry to defeat the enemy several times, and his own control over this chaotic miscellaneous army was still good, so after 20,000 cavalry at the end of Wen were urgently dispatched to join these two groups, the commotion was slowly quelled, and those defeated soldiers were directly killed on the spot, and the bloody heads also temporarily shocked the order of the front line, and began to organize the soldiers and horses to prepare for local resistance and stabilize the situation.

But after the front line stabilized the situation, he suddenly found that Tieliang's heavy cavalry battalion had arrived in front of him, and this northwestern man who had been fighting with the Wen people since he was a child was no stranger to the Wen people, so he didn't care about being out of touch with the rear, and led the heavy cavalry straight towards the two subsequent groups of the coalition army. The dull and loud sound of horses' hooves crushed Yige's hope, the charge of the heavy cavalry battalion brought an indomitable momentum, the 20,000 heavy cavalry battalion was divided into two, instantly entered the battle formation, suppressed the opponent's counterattack momentum, the blood-stained iron spear wore all the opponents along the way into a sugar gourd, and every hoof of the war horse under him fell, which would bring a bloody breath, and the murderous aura that rushed to the sky instantly destroyed the opponent's morale. The weapons of the coalition soldiers are basically useless to these steel armor monsters, and the defense power of this new type of steel armor carefully built by Li Xuanqing has made a qualitative leap compared to the previous armor, and because it is made of stainless steel, it adopts some concepts of later generations, which is more lightweight, making the heavy cavalry relatively flexible and increasing the survivability of the battlefield.

This time, Tie Liang's tactics were no longer the previous unscrupulous way, but the most basic impact method of the heavy cavalry was restored, and after impacting a certain distance, it began to return in two ways, left and right, and the follow-up troops began to advance along the road opened up in front of them, receiving the return of the front army, and at the same time crushing the opponent's counterattack. And after the return of the former army, it will attack again, and so on. The 20,000 heavy cavalry battalion blocked the large array of more than 100,000 troops of the two groups of the other side in a short time, and waited for the Modao battalion and the infantry battalion to arrive in time.

"Give the order to the heavy cavalry battalion, the left wing corps will be dealt with by them, and the right wing corps will be handed over to the Modao battalion. The infantry battalions were arranged left and right to increase support, and the artillery battalion gave me all the shells. After seeing Tie Liang's move, Wan Yi began to adjust his deployment, letting the heavy cavalry battalion deal with the 70,000 people on the left flank alone, and the 30,000 men of the Modao battalion joined the battle group to block the right flank corps with all his might. The artillery battalion of the accompanying Chinese army began to set up projection vehicles for long-range bombardment to deal with the follow-up forces, and Qian Laoliu's infantry battalion also began to accompany the two main corps into the battlefield.

"Marshal, Yige has already put his direct troops into the battlefield, and now there are only about 30,000 people around him." Just after Wan Yi gave the order, a deputy general beside him suddenly noticed something strange and said, "Boss, please see, it is the unique bullhorn banner of the Wen Mo people, which has appeared on the left and right wings." ”

"Great, damn Yige, it's finally moving. If he doesn't move, even if the hundreds of thousands of people on the front line are killed, it will not be of much effect. What about the cavalry corps? Why hasn't it moved yet? How did Hou Yong do it? Wan Yi was overjoyed and began to let the horn team blow the horn again.

At this time, Yige didn't fail to find that the Tiance Army was only infantry-based until now, and the rumored cavalry corps had not been triggered. But in his position, it was also a helpless move to mobilize the army directly under him to participate in the war, he did not expect that the opponent's first round of blows would come too fast and too fierce, so that the more than 60,000 coalition cavalry that consumed the opponent's strength in the first wave did not play the expected role at all, but was completely disrupted by the opponent's formation, and in desperation, he had to have the elite team in his hand to suppress the formation, hoping to rely on the number of people to fight out all the strength of the opponent's frontal army after deterring these coalition forces, and then concentrate all his strength to deal with the opponent's cavalry corps, Completely destroy your opponent with your own elite iron cavalry and coalition soldiers.

Therefore, although the 20,000 cavalry of the late Wen Dynasty had appeared in the two major armies on the left and right, they had not participated in the battle so far, but played more of a surveillance role.

What does Yi Ge think, Wan Yi has no intention of guessing at the moment, he really knows too much about the characteristics of the two main heavy armies in his hands, the heavy armor corps is invincible on the frontal battlefield and can play an invincible role, but this type of army cannot last, although the new armor has done its best to reduce weight, but it cannot fundamentally solve this problem. Therefore, for Wan Yi, grasping the rhythm of the war and controlling the time in his own hands is the secret to victory.

Therefore, compared to the cavalry troops of Yige who were still preserving their strength to deal with the Tiance Army, Wan Yi had no reservations at the moment and sent all the troops around him to the battlefield. Qian Lao Liu's infantry intercepted the opponent in the Modao Battalion and the Heavy Cavalry Battalion, so that the cavalry could not be attacked, and then also entered the battlefield, and began to use the flexibility of the infantry to be active on the battlefield. These days, the infantry of the Tiance Army is no more vague than the previous Lingwu Army, and the squad mode of three-person has penetrated into every corner of each soldier's body. The killing and chaos they caused was no weaker than the main force around them, not only supporting the charge of the Modao Battalion and the Heavy Cavalry Battalion, but also inflicting great casualties on the opponent.

The two armies were at a standstill at this moment, and compared to the Tiance Army's side, which desperately played a surprise attack considering physical factors, trying to complete the strategic goal before the main force's combat strength was exhausted, the coalition army completely relied on human life to resist the opponent's attack. The explosives package of the artillery battalion exploded in the crowd as if it did not need money, the thick smoke on the battlefield came and went, the sound of explosions continued to sound like muffled thunder, and the smoke blown away by the wind even blurred the entire battlefield, and after the other party concentrated manpower, the lethality of the explosives package was also greatly enhanced, often after an explosion, more than a dozen people were lifted into the sky, and the severed arms and stumps flew all over the sky.

And with the billowing smoke filling the battlefield, one after another dense vibrations began to loom to the soldiers on both sides. But the two sides that have completely killed the red eye have not taken these things into account at all. In this case, Hou Yong's cavalry battalion quietly appeared on the battlefield, with a total of 40,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks, and 10,000 people quietly detoured to the left flank, attacked from behind, and fought a battle of annihilation with the heavy cavalry battalion. The remaining 30,000 people, under the personal leadership of Hou Yong, suddenly appeared in front of Yige's Chinese army, and threw themselves into the battlefield in the stunned eyes of their opponents.

The 10,000 party cavalry battalion that attacked the left flank was not inferior to the party members of the steppe warriors, and under the surprise of the opponent, relying on the horseman's riding and archery skills, they easily broke into the opponent's back, galloping like a long dragon.

However, soon, the party cavalry found that the difference between the cavalry that gathered soon after being dispersed by themselves was bloodthirsty, ruthless, and even bloodier than themselves, and the most important thing was that they were able to organize a counterattack in such a short period of time after being dispersed by themselves, which made Toyota, the son of the party commander who led the team, have a heart of competition, and when the next one turned over, led the cavalry battalion under his command to turn back and fight within the left wing corps.

The two teams fought again, the scimitar was bright, only a moment to show the difference, Toyota led the leader of the party cavalry, but the opponent did not fall behind at all, his soldiers and their own soldiers are very disciplined in the knife fighting method, which can't help but surprise him, but also stimulate his blood, began to take it seriously. The two cavalry of their left flank fought within the corps, which made the corps completely chaotic, the command center in front and rear was interrupted, some of the tribal generals began to shrink their forces to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the party cavalry, the other part ignored the continuation and the heavy cavalry battalion in front of the fight, and a very small part turned their horses to find an opportunity to leave the battlefield.

This upheaval also made Tie Liang, who was on the front line, aware that the opponent's confusion had relieved him of great pressure, and the heavy cavalry battalion was finally completely released, and Tie Liang asked the infantry battalion to then protect his rear, forming a huge arrow of 20,000 people, forming a shock formation again, and rushing towards the center of the left wing corps.

At this time, Wan Yi, who was far away in the rear, also discovered Tie Liang's move, and after a little thought, he suddenly understood the other party's intentions, and immediately began to adjust the artillery battalion, concentrating all the firepower on the right flank, and helping the Modao battalion to open up the situation in advance. At this time, the artillery battalion, which was originally evenly arranged, began to tilt all the firepower to the right flank, and the sound of the explosion became more rapid and violent for a while, and the right wing corps, which had doubled its firepower, was blown upside down in an instant, and the stones and sand stones that burst out became the most lethal weapon on the battlefield, so that after the end of the war, many of their own soldiers were run to the marshal tent to complain about the artillery battalion, which made Wan Yi cry and laugh and began to think about how to avoid accidental injuries on the battlefield.

However, at this time, the artillery battalion's full force projection explosives package greatly reduced the pressure on the Modao battalion, so that this hoplite also entered the rhythm of crushing the opponent like the heavy cavalry next to it, and the continuous explosion made the coalition soldiers completely lose the courage to fight, this kind of divine punishment weapon that fell from the sky made them have no way to deal with it, and many soldiers were even unwilling to fight, and knelt directly on the ground and prayed in a low voice, hoping that the gods and Buddhas could forgive their mistakes.

This change made Shi Jian's face change, and after struggling a few times, he suddenly made an unexpected move, and later it was also a move that became the accelerator of this war, and began to divide the Modao battalion into three ways and cooperate with the infantry battalion that followed from behind to catch the prisoners on the battlefield, accompanied by continuous explosions, at this time the capture of the prisoners was unexpectedly smooth, more than 40,000 people almost did not waste any strength to bring the soldiers of all ethnic groups in the encirclement together, the infantry bent their bows and arrows, and ordered these soldiers to dismount and squat in place, Then a group of soldiers of the Tiance Army collected the weapons and horses of these men. During this period, the 10,000 Wen Mo cavalry sent by Yige to supervise tried to counterattack, but they were violently shot by the Modao Battalion, and every step forward of the Xueliang Sword Light Array would be accompanied by the rolling heads, and the 10,000 people who couldn't make any splashes in the crowd were killed by the Modao Battalion. The struggle of the Wen Mo cavalry, who had lost their reliance, at this time gave the most profound lesson to the coalition soldiers who had surrendered, and the bloody killing of the Tiance army finally brought the best deterrent effect, and this group of people finally did not dare to move in the slightest in front of the heads of people all over the ground, and were obediently taken away by Qian Laoliu's infantry battalion one by one, and escorted to the rear camp.

The unexpected settlement of the right wing corps also brought about dramatic changes in the battlefield ahead, and the free Modao battalion began to join the siege of the left wing corps, and the combined efforts of the two sides finally caused the left wing corps to completely collapse. Wan Yi, who rushed to hear the news, began to command on the spot after arranging for manpower to cooperate with Qian Laoliu to take care of the prisoners, and asked the red-eyed Toyota to lead his troops to support Hou Yong, and handed over the front battlefield to Tie Liang and Shi Jian.

And when Toyota had just played against the Wen cavalry, Hou Yong had already fought with Yige's direct troops, and the two sides were 30,000 against 30,000, both of which were their own elite cavalry. Compared with the late Wen, they relied on their skilled cavalry and archery skills and cavalry combat experience. Hou Yong relied more on the cooperation of the battle formation and the sophisticated weapons equipped to them by the logistics department.

This should be the first time Hou Yong commanded the cavalry corps to fight, so as soon as he went to the battlefield, he instantly put the car hanging array, and the appearance of this legendary cavalry array in the northwest battlefield also means that the cavalry of the Han army is qualified to confront the steppe nomadic cavalry head-on for the first time after a hundred years of decline.

This kind of ancient formation, which was like a gear from a high place, completely beat Yige, and was caught off guard for a moment in front of the new battle formation, like a piece of fat that was cut little by little by the bright sword light of the Tiance Army.

According to Ma Laosan, the car suspension array is the cavalry tactics created by Huo Qubing to deal with the Huns in the Western Han Dynasty, and it should be best implemented by the cavalry, so this time the car suspension array is more powerful than the last time the infantry outside Chang'an City is arranged, and the speed of the cavalry ensures that the gear on the outside of the car suspension array has unparalleled lethality, and no matter how Yi Ge commands the counterattack, he can't stop the blade of the gear that rotates forward. And around the center of the gear is the long-range strike force personally commanded by Hou Yong, equipped with a small chain of crossbows can already do five arrows in a row, the hurried crossbow arrows make those rushing up Wen Mo cavalry frightened, this kind of almost spaced shooting effectively blocked the opponent's behavior of relying on the number of people to impact the large array.

There is almost no suspense in the war here, and Yige's face is as gray as ashes, his old opponent has won this time after all, and there is no point in staying here by himself, the top priority is to find a way to rush out with the team, so after hesitating for a while, Yige began to arrange the retreat.

But at this moment, a deafening shouting of killing suddenly occurred behind him, which made him completely stunned.
