Chapter 406: The Sharp Knife Battalion Appears and Makes Another Meritorious Service
I have to say that although Cai You has almost no knowledge of marching and fighting, his feeling today is still very correct.
Although the original intention of Lu Junyi and Guan Sheng was to join forces and exterminate the 80,000 forbidden troops under Cai You's command first, when Guan Sheng noticed that Cai You was unusually and turned to lead the army towards him, the two of them changed their minds.
The reason is very simple, this Cai You dared to take the initiative to attack, it must be the Li Gang army behind him who had something to do with it, and sent troops to support, wanting to use the 80,000 horses under Cai You's command to eat the 50,000 people who won the Guan Sheng.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty forbidden army Hu Yanzhuo has a deep experience, although the forbidden army it attacked and killed that day was physically and mentally exhausted and had no resistance at all, but the thousands of forbidden troops it captured also showed the demeanor of the forbidden army to everyone in the subsequent drills.
Speaking of which, it is just a useless shelf, just a decoration that is put in front of the emperor every day, and has not experienced the baptism of blood and war at all, but it is the same level as the auxiliary soldiers when they were in Liangshan before.
After realizing this, Lu Junyi turned the direction of the attack to the army sent by Li Gang, and confronted the Cai You forbidden army with Guan Sheng and the others, pinning down each other's attacks, and not letting them interfere with his attack on the imperial coalition led by Li Gang.
At the same time, Lu Junyi also sent people to guard the necessary road to the battlefield of Guan Sheng Cai You, waiting for Li Gang's army to support.
At this time, on the battlefield of the Guansheng army and Cai You's forbidden army, in addition to the joint operation of the three armies of the Shenwu Army, the Sharp Knife Army, and the Beiwei Army, in the outermost part of the battlefield, there were also five thousand heavily armored iron cavalry led by Luan Tingyu and Hao Siwen, surrounding the entire battle situation in the middle, constantly rushing back and forth.
Although the combat effectiveness of the heavy armored iron cavalry is extremely strong, in the midst of such a fight of tens of thousands of troops, there are no hills around, and it will greatly lose the mobility that the cavalry relies on.
Once the cavalry loses its mobility, it is equivalent to a bird without wings to soar in the sky, no matter how full its wings are, it cannot make a difference. Even if the soldiers of this heavy armored iron cavalry had the heavy iron armor protection, it could not play a role in killing the enemy.
Therefore, in order to allow the heavy armored iron cavalry to still maintain the mobility required by the cavalry on this flat ground, Luan Tingyu and Hao Siwen led their troops to wander around the periphery of the battle formation and sprint back and forth.
In this way, all the soldiers under his command can maintain the required mobility, and they can continue to collide and kill the lives of the Song soldiers in the rush to and fro, and they will not stop their pace of conquest because of the large number of personnel.
Although Luan Tingyu and Hao Siwen were not too public, the names of the two ironclad cavalry in the Liang army's camp were too loud, so that when Luan Tingyu and Hao Siwen led the heavy-armored ironclad cavalry to the battlefield, they were immediately noticed by Cai You and the soldiers of the Song army.
Cavalry charging back and forth requires enough distance to add mobility to itself, as anyone on the march knows. Therefore, out of fear of the combat effectiveness of the ironclad cavalry, these soldiers of the forbidden army involuntarily kept moving closer to the heavy armored cavalry on the periphery, wanting to reduce their sprint distance and eliminate their mobility step by step, so that they finally trapped the ace troops of the Liang army here.
Slowly, the focus of the battle on the entire battlefield was led away by the heavy armored iron cavalry that came later, compared to the more than 40,000 Liang army soldiers in front of them, those Song Dynasty forbidden troops were more afraid of the few 5,000 heavy armored iron cavalry.
However, if they thought that the Liang army only had these two ace troops, then they were very wrong. You must know that before this Sharp Knife Army was officially organized into an army, it was called the Sharp Knife Battalion, and its three commanders were the three of Gao Pet, Yu Yu, and Yuan Lang.
The reason why Shi Wengong ordered this strong and courageous three people to form the Sharp Knife Battalion was to enable them to penetrate deep into the enemy army and stab the enemy heart fiercely in the battlefield like a sharp knife.
Now among the tens of thousands of people in this stalemate, it is the time for the sharp knife battalion of the high-pet headquarters to show their skills in front of everyone.
I saw that the high pet played a few spears, and after killing all the generals of the Song army in front of him, he greeted Na Yu and Yuan Lang, "General Yuan, it's time to show the results of our original training!" ”
Yuan Lang and Gao Zhong have been running in for a long time, so they naturally know what they mean, and then, they saw the two nodding excitedly, and then they summoned a thousand soldiers from the previous sharp knife battalion headquarters.
The rest of the 1,000 soldiers were scattered, deployed in the shape of an arrow, and led by Gao Chong, with the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion Headquarters, like an arrow from the string, towards the heart of the Song army camp, that is, where Cai Yu was, and rushed to the past.
At this time, most of the attention of the Song army officers and soldiers was attracted by the heavily armored iron cavalry led by Luan Tingyu and Hao Siwen, and even the position of Cai You, the commander of the formation, was not discovered, and this was the reason why Gao Zhong temporarily summoned the soldiers of the headquarters to raid.
I saw that the three of them, one holding a tiger-headed golden gun, one carrying a mountain-opening axe, and the other holding two water-milled steel, in the Song army camp, they killed the generals like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, and looked at the entire Song army camp, there was no enemy of these three people.
After a short time, the three of them broke through the defense line of the Song army one after another and rushed towards Cai You. At this time, Cai You also discovered this menacing Gao Pet and others, and after seeing the eyes of the leader Gao Pet who seemed to be looking at a prey that could no longer escape, this Cai You was so frightened that he shivered.
However, at this time, no matter how Cai You temporarily dispatched troops and horses to protect himself, he couldn't stop the off-string arrow, that is, the thousand-middle sharp knife battalion led by the high-ranking Yuan Lang.
At this time, as if they had a sense of each other, when the three of them led the soldiers to rush to the high ground and walked to the side of Cai You, Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo and other generals scattered in other corners of the battlefield, and even Yue Fei and Luan Tingyu Hao Siwen who were fighting on the other side, couldn't help but look here.
At this time, the three of them also lived up to expectations, killed all obstacles, and walked to Cai You's side.
In the end, under the frightened expression on Cai You's face, Gao Zhong threw a shot from a distance, which just pierced Cai You's heart. The chiseled golden gun that passed through Cai You's body, and even carried Cai You's corpse, flew backwards a few meters away before it pierced deeply into the ground, and the tail of the gun was still shaking and trembling in the air with Cai You's corpse.
