Chapter 609 Plan Broken (1st Update)
Za Suhe, Borchi, and Mu Kun suffered defeat at the hands of the bladed soldiers led by Hou Mingfeng, and the anger in their hearts was hard to dissipate, and they were ready to transfer all the anger in their hearts to the ironclad infantry.
It happened that Zasuhe led the army to escape from the siege, and Borchi and Mu Kun did not have to continue to entangle the blade soldiers, so the two were ready to implement their previous plan, and before leaving, they would tear a piece of flesh from the ironclad infantry to vent their anger.
At this moment, the three troops are in three different positions, even if there are bladed soldiers led by Hou Mingfeng behind to pursue, as long as the three armies attack from three sides, the ironclad infantry will be difficult to care about, even if the formation seems to be strong, it will not be able to block the cavalry impact.
Sitting on a galloping war horse, looking at the ironclad infantry standing in the grassland in the distance, ready to attack, whether it is Borchi or Mu Kun, they all feel that escaping from the entanglement of the bladed warriors and solving the attempt to pretend to be a roadblock ironclad infantry, as long as they avoid the opponent's arrow array, it will be effortless.
Unfortunately, Zasuhe, who had never tried the arrows of the ironclad infantry, noticed that the road was blocked, and if he wanted to escape, he had to rush from the opponent, so he did not hesitate at all, and led the cavalry into the battle.
The army rushed dozens of paces, and Bolchi inadvertently, Yu Guang noticed that the cavalry led by Zasuhe to escape from the siege actually rushed head-on, and he had experienced the power of the ironclad infantry arrow array in front, and couldn't help but shout that Zasuhe was stupid.
If it is an ordinary cavalry, Zasuhe may have casualties if he attacks from the front, but the casualties will be controlled within the corresponding range, breaking through the opponent's sharp arrow defense, and killing the infantry.
However, no matter what the combat effectiveness of the ironclad infantry is, the continuous and impermeable arrow array alone will cause serious casualties to the cavalry.
At this moment, Zasuhe rushed forward head-on with the remnants of the soldiers like frightened birds, in a vain attempt to rush through the opponent's arrow array and kill the opponent.
What is the difference between this and a moth to a fire, not only can it not inflict heavy damage on the ironclad infantry, but it will also make the troops who have just escaped from the encirclement of the blade warriors directly face the test of the arrow array, and the slightest carelessness may cost them their lives.
His little remaining family wealth would be completely destroyed by Zasuhe's mindless charge, and he couldn't help but speed up and head towards the left flank of the ironclad infantry in an attempt to resolve the urgent need.
When Zasuhe led the cavalry to rush up desperately, the ironclad infantry quickly changed formation, pulled the repeater, and shot with a cold face.
The rain of arrows seemed to be pouring down, and the cavalry charging in front were all shot without exception.
Even so, in the dense rain of arrows, Zasuhe was still injured, his bare left arm was injured by two broken arrows in a row, and the galloping war horse was also seriously injured in the storm of arrows, even if he still galloped forward, he could no longer withstand the attack of the arrow rain.
Looking at the cavalry attacking next to them, many of them were in the charge, and they didn't have time to block the Yan army's sharp arrows, and they were directly shot.
Some people tried to draw a bow and arrows, a tooth for a tooth, but the rain of arrows flying in the air was endless, and some people hesitated a little, half-heartedly, and immediately became a dead soul under the arrow.
At this time, he finally experienced the power of the ironclad infantry arrow array
In the process of cavalry attack, the opponent was roughly divided into three waves, the first wave of soldiers fired, the second wave of fire followed, and then the third wave of arrows came quickly.
The continuous rain of arrows formed a seamless and coherent array of arrows in the air, which did not give the cavalry a chance to return the call.
Wave after wave of arrow rain, like a torrential rain, from scattered all over the grassland, all creatures on the ground, all baptized by the arrow rain.
Zha Suhe was shocked and jealous in his heart, but it was like eating a scale, and no one had the intention of retreating and giving up.
In vain, he tried to get up and straddle his horse and continue to charge.
He didn't believe that a distance of a few hundred paces, more than 30,000 cavalry, could not break through the arrow formation of 80,000 infantry.
The cavalry galloped extremely fast, hundreds of paces, and it was not a problem at all.
When he was about to move his body, a steady voice continued to be heard in the air, and the head that had just been exposed quickly retracted.
Poof, poof, the rain of arrows fell, and the sound of shooting wounded cavalry came and went on all sides.
Zasuhe witnessed the galloping war horse, after being injured, suddenly died uncontrollably, galloped more than ten steps away, fell to the ground, and the cavalry on it fell to death on the spot, or was directly crushed to death by the corpse of the war horse, or was directly killed by the rain of arrows before the war horse fell to the ground.
Looking at it, he was horrified in his heart, because when the second wave of arrow rain hit, he obviously felt that the body of the war horse shook even more, and he obviously suffered serious arrow wounds.
When he was worried, the galloping war horse suddenly leaned over, and Zasuhe's face turned pale, and before the third wave of arrow rain came, he quickly jumped up and pounced on the war horse covering in front.
As soon as he left, the war horse collapsed, flew out seven or eight steps, and died tragically on the ground.
Zasu couldn't help but be frightened, if he had hesitated for a moment, he would definitely have a similar ending to the cavalry he had just fallen to death.
However, nervous to nervous, he still rode on the horse and galloped quickly, in his opinion, the advantage of the ironclad infantry lies in the arrow array, as long as it breaks through and then rushes through more than 100 steps, the ironclad infantry in order to seek self-protection, must be prepared for hand-to-hand combat, at that time, it will be the world of cavalry!
The third wave of arrows rained down, and more cavalry charged on the way, and many people might not have continued to charge if it weren't for Zasuhe's persistence.
After all, the casualties of this charge are too great, anytime, anywhere, I don't know where there will be a deadly rain of arrows, and the next moment, I may be shot alive.
However, during the gallop, many cavalrymen also found a trick, like Zasu Hede, sideways under the belly of the war horse, for a while, the number of casualties was greatly reduced.
If you notice that there is an abnormality in the war horse, it will quickly pounce on other war horses and try to escape.
However, there were always many horsemen who were not skilled in horsemanship, or who were unlucky, who were killed by a rain of arrows when they changed horses.
In a short period of time, many coalition troops were killed in battle, but even with heavy casualties, no one chose to retreat.
Zhao Hongru saw that the coalition army was not afraid of the impact of life and death, and at least nearly 10,000 people died tragically under the rain of arrows of the ironclad infantry, but the other party showed no signs of stopping or retreating, and he sincerely admired this army in his heart.
admired it, but he didn't show mercy to his subordinates, he knew what the meaning of the other party was in the rain of arrows and forcibly charged.
In the past, regardless of the Jin State or the Zhao State, many cavalry generals had similar ideas to Zha Suhe, and felt that cavalry had a natural advantage over infantry.
After dozens of battle formations, the ironclad infantry is still fighting on the battlefield, and those former generals have either become prisoners or died on the battlefield, buried in the loess.
Paying full attention to the speed of the opponent's march, estimating the distance between the two sides, the cavalry was getting closer and closer, and it was almost the zero point of preparing the blade and hand-to-hand combat, Zhao Hongru smiled and commanded sharply: "Prepare for battle!" ”
Suddenly, the infantry in front of him with a repeater quickly withdrew his repeater, but instead of drawing out his saber, he took out a lot of thistles from the cloth bag he carried with him, and quickly threw them more than ten steps away in front of him.
Only then did he quickly draw his saber and hold it tightly in front of his chest, ready to fight at any time.
In addition, the infantry behind did not stop firing, and the broken arrows continued to shoot out, as if there was no intention of stopping.
One of the usual methods used in ironclad infantry combat is to use the arrow array to shoot the opponent's living force in the early stage, and wait until the opponent suffers more than half of the casualties, or the cavalry breaks before the ironclad infantry.
The first three rows of infantry will quickly scatter thistles, and when the cavalry approaches, they will take damage in a surprise manner, severely delaying the opponent's march.
The infantry in the rear still insisted on shooting the cavalry, and when the horses lost their owners and became frantic under the rain of arrows, the cavalry would be severely hindered.
The cavalry shock advantage will gradually be lost, and then it will be time for the ironclad infantry to put on the battle.
Borchi always paid attention to the trajectory of the Zasuhe army, and saw that Zasuhe was not afraid of life and death, attacked quickly, and after paying a heavy price, he was about to come into contact with the ironclad infantry.
The Zasuhe army quickly approached the ironclad infantry, and he and Mu Kun led the cavalry forward, killing from both wings, and they would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the ironclad infantry.
Unexpectedly, the ironclad infantry on the edge of the two wings always paid attention to their marching trajectory, and when the two of them led the team closer, they met some of the ironclad infantry of Zasuhe, and they quickly changed direction and formed a tight defense at the edge of the two wings.
If Borchi and Mu Kun dare to charge forcibly, a sharp and powerful arrow array will beckon them, whether they live or die, it all depends on the luck of the other party.
In today's battle, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, and when he felt that there was a chance to inflict heavy damage on the ironclad infantry, Borchi would never let go of the opportunity for revenge.
The closer he got to the Blade Warrior, Borchi's heart was happy, and his worries gradually decreased.
However, just like the mechanized ironclad infantry, after the cavalry rushed into the range of the repeater's crossbow, the crossbow was pulled with a brush, and the short arrow quickly flew out, and the cavalry in front of him was shot on the spot without accident.
At this time, in order to annihilate the ironclad infantry, Borchi felt pity for the casualty cavalry, but did not order the cavalry to stop the charge, he almost had the same mind as Zasuhe, thinking that through the arrow array, he could kill all sides.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and several waves of arrows rained down many casualties under Borchi's tent, and suddenly, Borchi's mind to continue charging was shaken.
He only had Mu Kun under his tent to distribute nearly 10,000 cavalry, if he didn't care about the casualties, these people would all become the souls of the opponent's arrow rain sooner or later.
Glancing at the pursuing blade warriors behind him, this time, Borchi was the first to flee, avoiding the infantry arrow array and heading east.
Along the way, I was annoyed in my heart, this time, if I hadn't been too persistent, many cavalry wouldn't have had to charge at all, and they wouldn't have died in vain.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, a mistake is a mistake, and there is no chance to change it at all.
Borchi is humiliated, resentful, and only hopes that one day, he will come back and avenge this sea of blood!
