Chapter 508: Heavy Riding and Destruction [Two in One]
"This ...... How can it be! ”
Meng Huo exclaimed, his body trembled, and he almost fell off the horse.
At the same time, Han Tong, who was far away in the Vermilion Bird Legion's main formation, always paying attention to the battle situation, had a smile on his face, and even when he looked at the army of the Cloud Kingdom, he was extremely disdainful in his heart.
Originally, as the commander of the First Army, he must not be proud of the enemy, and he himself understands this.
But now I can't take it anymore.
This is the extreme pleasure that comes from using stratagem to defeat a powerful opponent.
Moreover, this object is still the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Cloud Country.
Although Han Tong didn't know how many troops the other party had in total, from a careful observation through the binoculars, he could deduce from his years of experience that there were about 300,000.
Coupled with those heavy cavalry, there are definitely more than 300,000.
"Is this an attempt to defeat our army in one fell swoop, and then kill them all in one go?"
Han Tong guessed that the reason why Meng Huo gathered so many troops even though he had 50,000 heavy cavalry was that he expected that 50,000 heavy cavalry would be able to defeat the Vermilion Bird Army in one fell swoop, and then he could just pursue and kill the rest of the Vermilion Bird Army.
I have to say, it's a very good idea.
In this way, not only can the siege of Yunguo be relieved, but also the road to expansion can be cleared, and even a large area of the old land of Chu can also take the opportunity to be pocketed.
"It's too greedy, and it's this greed that will bury the entire Cloud Country."
Han Tong sighed, and then continued to set his eyes on the battlefield.
At this moment, on the battlefield ahead, the battle situation has shown a one-sided situation.
In the case of being defenseless, the heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom, who only knew that they were charging forward, inevitably suffered a great blow, and the heavy cavalry that was pressed by Meng Huo and the high-level of the Yun Kingdom with all their hopes was like the wind blowing wheat waves, and wave after wave fell to the ground, and countless war horses let out a terrible scream, throwing out the cavalry on horseback.
And that's just the horseshoe pit!
Soon, the heavy infantry came out.
Like the Iron Armor Soldiers, the appearance of the heavy infantry is extremely shocking.
The uniform pace, the cold light of the spear, I can't see the expressions of the people in the armor, like puppets.
Extremely shocking!
Countless heavy cavalry, lost their lives in despair, and died without blinking.
Countless warhorses were completely crippled, screaming and neighing, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
It can be seen that none of the soldiers who fell to the ground were able to get up, and the heavy armor gave them strong impact and defense at the same time, but also made them lose their due flexibility, and they could not get up at all in a short time.
The inferiority of the heavy cavalry has finally been completely exposed!
Fatal flaw!
From the birth of the heavy cavalry to the present, it has been more than a year in total, and all countries are only attracted by its great power, but ignore its shortcomings.
Or rather, in the past year, not a single war has exposed this fatal flaw.
In the final analysis, there is too little actual combat.
Up to now, that is, the Yun State has defeated the army of the Chu State twice with its heavy cavalry, and each time it has been very smooth and returned with a great victory.
Even the senior generals of the heavy cavalry corps have always believed that if the heavy cavalry removes the defect of bulkiness, the rest can be regarded as almost perfect.
But it was precisely this thing that they considered a flaw, the death hole of the heavy cavalry.
A dead hole that can be discovered with a little verification.
It's a pity that the heavy cavalry in the past was too smooth, even if it was only a small defeat in the past, it would not suffer such a painful loss now.
"Boom—"
The heavy cavalry of the rear team did not understand the reason, and they could not stop the momentum at this stage of the charge, and the countless heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom widened their eyes in horror, but they had no choice but to watch the war horses under their crotches rush straight over, tripped over by the war horses in front and behind, and even the corpses on the ground, and then threw themselves out.
This is like a reincarnation, the cavalry and war horses that have been thrown out act as another barrier, tripping the war horses in the rear again......
Steady stream......
is like a moth to a fire, no matter how frightened it is, it can only rush to the end of the road one after another.
The pity is that the heavy cavalry who were thrown out by the horses under their crotch, and before they even realized what was happening, they were trampled by the horses that followed closely behind them, spitting blood.
"Stop the charge! Stop, stop!"
The generals of the heavy cavalry realized that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly with all their might.
It's a pity that their shouts are not at all as loud as the roar of ten thousand horses galloping, and even though they shout loud warnings, there are still countless heavy cavalry in the rear, rushing forward without knowing what.
Team by team, row by row, one after the other.
It's so tragic that it's like purgatory on earth.
Everyone who sees it can't help but tremble.
This is a fear that stems from the bottom of people's hearts.
Gradually, the heavy cavalry behind could already vaguely sense that something was wrong ahead, and some generals began to order their subordinates to stop.
However, in this way, it is even more confusing.
Stop, stop, slow down, rush, and a small number of heavy cavalry in front of them turn around.
Gradually, most of the heavy cavalry lost their way.
Loss.
In the rear, those generals who had been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield and had been excited to see how the Suzaku Legion was crushed were completely confused.
After watching their soldiers die one by one, these generals gradually sank to the bottom.
Compared with the 200,000 Vermilion Bird Army, the 300,000 army of the Yun Kingdom has no advantage at all, or due to the relationship between equipment and the quality of the soldiers, the Yun State army is still at a great disadvantage.
In war, although the number of people is important, it is the least important number.
Otherwise, the two sides will directly set up their own phalanxes, and whoever has fewer people will surrender directly.
In a big war between the two armies, the layout and tactics are very important, and even if the enemy is several times larger, the appropriate tactics can be used to achieve victory.
At this time, Meng Huo was like crazy, shouting to retreat in pain, and on the other hand, he could only watch the heavy cavalry under his command die one by one.
At this time, he didn't even think about what means the enemy used to make the 50,000 heavy cavalry under his command so embarrassed and suffer such a devastating blow.
After a long time of incense, the tragedy of the heavy cavalry gradually stopped, and at the end of the entire cavalry ranks, there were still a small number of cavalry.
At most, there are only more than 10,000!
Of the 50,000 heavy cavalry, only 10,000 cavalry remained, what kind of fiasco was this!
On the battlefield, starting from the area where the Suzaku army had laid traps, and extending to the back mile, there were corpses of heavy cavalry and horses everywhere, as if it was broad daylight, dragging a group of corpses to the flat ground to bask in the sun.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
In fact, the reason why the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry in the back survived was only because there were too many dead people in front, the sound was too loud, and the corpses everywhere served as a buffer, so they were able to survive.
And the surviving heavy cavalry all looked dazed.
At this time, they didn't believe that the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood in front of them turned out to be heavy cavalry, those brothers and sisters who got along day and night, lying on the ground one by one, the corpses were leaning on the corpses, and countless people were only left with severed limbs, and countless corpses had already been unrecognizable.
Faintly, I could still hear some weak cries from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses in front of me.
If you take a closer look, I don't know when the crossbow chariot of Cangguo actually moved slowly, cooperating with the 20,000 light cavalry of the Suzaku Legion, surrounding the 200,000 troops who had participated in the melee before.
It can be seen that the central part of the Vermilion Bird Legion has long been withdrawn from the state of melee, with rows of high shields and spears, like a high wall covered with iron thorns, and those heavy infantry in armor have solemn expressions, like wolves staring at their prey.
On those repeater chariots, I don't know when they threw each other's tripwires and blades......
We...... All surrounded?
All the soldiers of the Yun Army, whether they were ordinary foot soldiers or the tens of thousands of surviving cavalry, were in a cold sweat, their hearts were cold, their legs were weak, and they didn't know how to fight.
Because it is obvious that the current Vermilion Bird Legion is waiting for work, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yun Country are all fish and meat on the chopping board, and they can't beat others at all.
Originally, the nearly 200,000 foot soldiers of the Yun Kingdom did not leave a way for themselves to retreat, nor did they think that they would fail, so they were all in one go, attacking towards the Vermilion Bird Legion, which was conducive to the heavy cavalry charge behind.
Now, the rout of the heavy cavalry is equivalent to blocking the retreat of those foot soldiers.
swallowed his saliva, and on Cao Wuwu's forehead, sweat poured out.
He realized that he had been completely surrounded before.
The light cavalry of the 20,000 Suzaku Legion could lock their retreat on the one hand, and block reinforcements on the other.
They've been trapped in this small place.
Even, without the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion charging, just a rain of arrows can take the lives of ten thousand soldiers.
At this moment, Cao Wuxian finally understood that in the past few days, he has faintly felt that something is wrong in his heart, where did he come from.
On the one hand, the Vermilion Bird Legion had long known about the existence of the heavy cavalry of the Cloud Kingdom, and also understood the plans of the Yun Kingdom army.
On the other hand, Cangguo, as the pioneer of heavy cavalry, knew the way to restrain heavy cavalry early on, and deliberately sold such heavy weapons to various countries, taking the opportunity to set up a trap while collecting money.
He was finally able to understand that with the financial and material resources of Cangguo, it was no problem to equip each legion with tens of thousands of heavy cavalry, but why the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion were not equipped.
It's not negligence, but I knew from the beginning that this class is a chicken rib, very dangerous, and destined to be a class that was created and destroyed by Cangguo himself!
Throughout the battlefield, the atmosphere became a little weird.
The trapped soldiers of the Yun Kingdom were terrified one by one, showing a defensive posture, and no one dared to speak, because they were extremely nervous, and they didn't know when the Suzaku Army would give the order to attack.
On the side of the Suzaku Army, the soldiers from all directions, no matter what kind of troops, are all waiting with bated breath and abiding by military regulations and general orders.
At the headquarters of the Chinese army of the Vermilion Bird Legion, Han Tong sighed slightly.
At the beginning, at the beginning of the prestige of the heavy cavalry, he proposed to His Majesty the Emperor that he wanted to form a heavy cavalry in the army, but the fold was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
After that, he wrote a few more excerpts and submitted them, but there was no news.
Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor was annoyed, and on the last excerpt, a few words were written - read, chicken ribs.
After that, although he was puzzled, he never raised the matter again.
Then, just after the imperial court decided to meddle in the affairs of the Chu State, these main generals were all summoned back to the imperial city, and Emperor Yang Mu personally watched a drill with them.
The content is how to restrain the heavy cavalry.
That exercise can be said to have shocked all the generals, and they understood for the first time that it was so simple to restrain heavy cavalry, and there were loopholes everywhere.
At that time, at least a dozen methods of restraining the heavy cavalry were demonstrated, and this time the Suzaku Legion used three of the simplest of them.
Today, after calculating the 50,000 heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom so easily, it was easy to trap the army of the Yun Kingdom in the encirclement.
Cangguo created heavy cavalry, but also buried heavy cavalry with his own hands.
This is an indescribable feeling in his heart, a person who once admired heavy cavalry very much and has always been very eager to establish a heavy cavalry team in the army.
This is equivalent to him personally knocking the myths of the past from the top to the cliff, and stepping on the beliefs of the entire army in the world in the mud at once.
There is loss, but also excitement.
"Well, I don't want that." Han Tong shook his head to himself, and then ordered: "Counterattack, order the armor team to start attacking, stop after a quarter of an hour, and then blow the trumpet, and the whole army will launch a general attack!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, although our army has the advantage, but the enemy army is too large, it is not suitable to attack hard, the lives of our Vermilion Bird Army soldiers are much more precious than them, remember the method of encircling three que, open a hole in the southeast, and slowly chase and annihilate."
"Yes!"
The commander's order was handed down, and the generals of all armies immediately obeyed the order and ordered a general attack.
"Whoa—"
"Woohoo—"
"Woooo
Arrows rained down, fire bullets were like meteors, and there was a sound of piercing the air.
As expected, after the siege of Sanque Yi, the remnants of the Yun Kingdom defeated will frantically break through to that gap, and are slowly slaughtered by the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army who are slowly chasing behind.
It's a game.
If these soldiers were going to beg for surrender at this time, the Suzaku Army would not agree.
After all, the destruction of those 50,000 heavy cavalry was like a nightmare, and even if these people surrendered, out of identity recognition, there would always be a shadow in their hearts, and they would not be able to truly surrender to the Suzaku Army.
However, the Suzaku Legion is going to continue to attack.
Receiving this group of captives is a curse.
Therefore, it must be completely crippled, without the heart of resistance, and without any threat to the Suzaku Legion, so that it can be received, and then sent to reform, and finally become civilians.
……
The two-in-one chapter, it is not divided into chapters, the chapters are coherent, and I really don't know where to start.
