The impact of the Khitan military equipment and armored cavalry was actually an iron cavalry with an iron cavalry, spears and spears, like a wall!

Khitan people can also learn and improve!

The power of wall impacts has been repeatedly tested on the battlefield. Of course, Yelu Yanxi will not turn a blind eye. As early as last year, when preparing for the Battle of Arthur, he ordered the armored cavalry of the palace guards and the royal tent pro-army to start training for wall impact.

The Khitans are a people on horseback, and equestrianism is good enough! As long as you practice with your heart, there is no reason why you can't learn. Even if it is not up to the level of the armored cavalry of the Republican Army, it can be used improvised. At least it could be used against the light cavalry and artillery of the Republican Army.

The half-armored light cavalry of the eighth general of the Republican Army, who was dismounting and shooting arrows around the dismounted cavalry of the Liao army in a mess, has now encountered a strong enemy!

Wu Yan, who found that something was wrong, hurriedly shouted to withdraw his troops, and a trumpeter who followed him also sounded the horn of retreat. But how could a force that was at war with the enemy say that it would retreat? It's chaotic on the real battlefield, not playing computer games, and everyone runs together with a click of the mouse. The horn of retreat was blown, and many of the cavalry who had risen up did not hear it at all.

Therefore, Wu Yan couldn't run away after giving the order, and he also galloped around the dismounted cavalry of the Liao people, shouting retreat while running. After shouting for a while, many cavalry heard his order and began to withdraw from the battle.

Wu Yan saw that it was almost over, and also turned around, trying to withdraw before the enemy's armored cavalry rushed up. There is also no need to withdraw too far. All it was necessary to retreat to the rear of the gun formation formed by the parent gunners, and at this time there were 12 pikemen on the battlefield, with nearly 1,500 pikemen. Even the Republican Army's own iron cavalry did not dare to rush out into the phalanx of 1,500 pikemen.

But Wu Yan never thought that his good luck had come to an end. Just as he galloped on his horse and approached the spearmen who were forming a phalanx, the horse that was sitting suddenly fell forward!

It turned out that his war horse slipped on the ice, maybe tripped over something, and turned over!

Wu Yan didn't even have time to react, so he was thrown out, reversed his body, rushed down with his big head, and smashed on the ice. The seemingly hard ice layer was forced into a large hole by his helmeted head. All of a sudden, he couldn't bear it even if he was an iron man, so he immediately lost consciousness.

The cavalry who retreated with him saw their main general fall from their horses and rushed to the rescue. Some cavalry did not run away, but desperately fired arrows at the Liao Guogu armored cavalry behind them, trying to buy a little time so that their companions could rescue Wu Yan.

After such a toss, Wu Yan, who had long been angry, snatched it out and ran in front of the saddle of a cavalryman and ran towards the republican spear array. But the light cavalry behind the palace became victims, and dozens of them were stabbed over at once!

The situation on the ice has been reversed once again......

……

Wu Yan was actually killed!

When he was brought back to the hollow phalanx of pikemen, he was already a corpse. My neck is broken!

The republican army is up and down, probably no one would have thought that the first battle of the battle of the Liaohai Ice Plain would actually be defeated.

The eighth general is about to die on the battlefield......

Ma Zheng, who had just arrived at the battlefield, was a little crying and laughing when he heard the report of Zuo Changyu, the deputy general of the eighth general. Couldn't Wu Yan be careful? The general of the first army, the soldiers under his hands and a small 8,000 people! How can you charge into battle on your own?

Now it's okay, my neck is broken, my life is gone, and I'm so tired that the Republican Army has lost for a while, and now the situation on the battlefield is that the victory or defeat is not scored, and the loss of the general is of course defeated.

"Order Wutian to send a dummy knight to cover the withdrawal of the eighth general's troops to Huangjiagou!"

Ma Zheng had no choice but to withdraw the spear phalanx of the eighth general first, and then start to rearrange the formation.

At present, there are a total of ten generals under the command of Lushun Soldiers and Horses, including eight infantry generals, two cavalry generals, and two independent artillery departments.

Among the eight infantry generals, one was placed in the mountain city of Daheisheng, one stayed behind to guard the city of Lushun, and the other guarded the city of Lushun and the military port of Lushunkou. There are five more, and now they have arrived on the battlefield one after another. And the two cavalry generals, all arrived at the front. The two artillery units were also pulled into the field with 54 1,500-pound field guns!

In other words, in the hands of Ma Zheng, there are seven generals and two departments, with a total strength of about 60,000 people! There are more than the roundabout Xiao Fengxian.

However, Xiao Fengxian still has the main force of Yelu Yanxi behind him, and Ma Zheng has no capital behind him.

Oh, it's not that there is no capital at all, and there are still twelve "truth"-class battleships staying in the Port Arthur military port.

Ma Zheng has asked Hu Yanqing, the commander of the Republican fleet, to send a fleet around the direction of the Liaohai Sea and use naval guns to assist in the battle...... 12 battleships had 108 cannons that could fire at the same time. With the addition of 54 1,500-pound cannons, Ma Zheng can put in a maximum of 162 cannons!

However, the current wind direction is not very good, and the "Truth" class is a sailing ship, and I don't know when it will be in place? In addition, the ice on the sea is now as much as ten miles, and the shells fired by the 12 truth-class ships may not be able to reach the Liao.

So what Ma Zheng can count on now is his own troops.

……

"Chief, the Liao people have set up a long snake formation, they should be afraid that the ice will not be able to withstand the dense formation." Wu Tian also arrived at Ma Zheng's Chinese army on the slope of Huangjiagou Mountain and began to introduce the situation, "In addition, the infantry of the Liao people has some combat strength, and they are equipped with three battles, and they can exchange bows and arrows for spears and swords and shields in front of the battle...... So we can't shoot arrows at close range with crossbowmen.

The armored cavalry of the Liao people also learned our way of playing, advancing like a wall, and spears like a forest. However, the formation is not tight enough, and the speed of the impact is relatively slow. ”

"The Liao people learn quite quickly!" Ma Zheng shook his head, "Fortunately, we have another killer skill that they can't learn." It's all up to you to defeat the enemy! ”

In fact, the Liao people learned the tactics of the republican army in vain. Even the battle they had just had with the eighth general was only evenly matched. In terms of casualties, there are still more Liao soldiers. How many Khitan talents are there? How many people does Youzhou have?

Even if one is exchanged for another, Yelu Yanxi can't afford to die! Moreover, because Wu Tian was afraid that his cavalry would fall into the sea of ice, he did not launch an iron cavalry attack. Otherwise, Xiao Feng's long snake formation would have been washed away!

Luo Gang listened to Ma Zheng's words, but frowned a little.

"What? Your cannon is dead? Ma Zheng asked.

"This ...... Cannonballs will smash through the ice. "The current ice is not enough to block the shells, so after the shells fall on the ice, they will directly smash through and fall into the water, unable to form ricochets." ”

The so-called ricochet refers to the shell that bounces off the ground and flies at an altitude of more than one person for a certain distance before falling. If the shells flew right past the enemy forces forming a dense formation, they would cause huge casualties. During exercises, it is not uncommon for a single shell to sweep a dozen straw figures.

However, the shell hit the ice and pierced it directly, so naturally there was no ricochet, and the lethal effect of the shelling was greatly reduced.

"Defeat the enemy," Wu Tian interjected, "can your cannon shatter the ice?" ”

"Smash the ice?" Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "In this way, the Liao people will fall into the water!" ”

"I guess so!" Wu Tiandao. He was always worried that his cavalry would fall into the water, so it was easy to think of letting his family fall too......

"It's hard to say." Rogan shook his head, "I haven't tried. ”

"Then try it, gather all the cannons, and place them between Bohai Fort and Huangjiagou." Ma Zhengdao, "54 cannons fire together, how can you smash a big hole in the ice!" ”

"Good! I'm going to give it a try. ”

Rogan nodded, took the order and went to set up the artillery.

And at the same time, Xiao Fengxian, who won for a while and was in a good mood, also discovered the terrible Youzhou Army big tube!

Although he already knows that the Youzhou big tube is not witchcraft, but "truth", but witchcraft can find monks to chant scriptures, what about the truth? There is no such truth on the Liao side!

So after thinking about it, I had to send cavalry to rob it...... If you can get a few back, maybe you can get the craftsman to imitate it.

"Naye," Xiao Fengxian called his son to him, "do you see their big tube?" ”

"See, my lord, the child will call the Flying Dragon Iron Rider and the Shunguo Girl to go straight and grab it!"

"How do you grab it now? Don't you see their pikes covering? ”

Of course, the Truth Cannon had to be well protected, and before it was deployed, two divisions of soldiers were protecting, and a spear array was set up in front.

"Then the boy waits for them to fire and then let people charge, they can't let the pikemen stop when they fire, right?"

"That's it, go and let the Shunguo Nuzhi and the Flying Dragon Iron Rider prepare. Be careful. ”

"Adults, children will be careful."

Xiao Yu got the order, and immediately went to mobilize the Shunguo Nuzhi and the Flying Dragon Iron Horse. He didn't let them ride horses, but led them quietly forward. Arrived at the rear of the dismounted cavalry line of the Liao army, which was facing the artillery positions of the republican army.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

As soon as Xiao Yu's men and horses were in place, the cannons began to roar.

54 cannons! The momentum is really scary.

The Khitan soldiers and horses facing the artillery positions of the republican army were in chaos, although these shells smashed through the ice and fell into the water, and did not cause many casualties, but many timid Liao soldiers still messed up, and some even turned around to run. The officer who led the team immediately shouted and cursed, trying to restore order.

Xiao Yu saw that the opportunity was coming, and immediately summoned the two kings of the Shunguo Nuzhi and a Xiangwen of the Flying Dragon Army to him, "The privy minister has an order, telling you to take the three of you with the cavalry to rob the Han people's big cylinder!" If you grab one, you'll be rewarded with millions! Give 100 horses of silk! ”

Millions of money, 100 horses of silk is not a lot of money in Tianjin, but it can be regarded as a huge amount of money for the birth of a daughter and for the soldiers of the Liao army who are not very rich.

Under serious injuries, there will naturally be brave men!

The first decisive battle between cavalry and artillery in history is about to begin!
