Chapter 442: Heavenly Tilt 6
"Qi Li...... Put"
Standing at the front of the queue, the deputy general of the guest battalion was among the divisions, erasing the blood marks on his face that had been scraped by the stray arrows, and raised the halberd wrapped in the ribbon in his hand and shouted loudly.
With the sound of the command, the majestic queue suddenly resounded one after another of continuous strikes, constituting an overwhelming rain of bullets, wave after wave alternately poured on those scattered ranger queues that rushed forward.
As the saying goes, "the projectiles and guns fly together, and the swords, spears and guns are the same color in the sky,"
It is like an invisible giant scythe whistling in the wind, constantly hitting and overturning the running figures, harvesting the lives of the people and horses, and driving and forcing them to run wildly in the battlefield involuntarily, not daring to stop for a moment.
And in the case of this momentum, even the arrows that fought hard to shoot from the horses became sparse and weak, and lacked the accuracy they should have. Occasionally, some of them fell into the crowd, and they could only cause a fraction of the tens of casualties.
Behind them, there were more formations, small phalanxes composed of countless long and short cold soldiers and firearms, and formed large phalanxes that were not very regular and marched alternately.
It was like a large piece of heavy iron felt and millstones that slowly swam across the field, smashing and twisting the swarms that swarmed and penetrated the horses like mosquitoes and flies that smelled blood.
In the white and boundless Heluo Snow Plain, the large corpses of people and horses left along the way and the spreading blood-colored road slowly and resolutely approached the direction of Heyang Bridge.
The envoy sent by Liangshan, Zhu Wu, the son of Shenji, was also arranged on the high platform of a certain mobile cart for some special reason, and was able to carefully observe the queue and change of formation of the army.
However, he felt that his brain was already in a mess, and some Yan zhòng was not enough, because this was obviously not any kind of formation and tactic he knew, but it was self-contained and wonderful.
These guns of the new army of the Southern Dynasties, which look like they are not too different from the traditional bow and crossbow, are not too different in principle and range, and even when fighting in small groups.
However, as soon as it was scaled, it seemed to be reborn, relying on the basic multi-layer line column and hollow phalanx, it exerted a more powerful cluster killing advantage and effect than the traditional arrow array and crossbow column.
At least the bows and crossbows are fired by the soldiers' arms, and the strength arms can no longer fight, compared to the guns of the army is only the courage and courage of the enemy in formation, and a little strength to take the medicine. Even the thin and weak can be trained to win, and even the disabled with sound upper limbs can attack the enemy on the spot.
And after dozens of hairs, there is still no risk of exhaustion, but because of the skillful release of hands and feet, it is more and more aligned, which is the so-called late coming, endlessly.
In addition, among the sword soldiers and guns, there is still an artillery team to follow, which can wait for the opportunity to bombard and suppress those enemy soldiers who are far away, so as to interrupt and disrupt the momentum of the enemy's impact. In close quarters, they had to withstand the explosive oil bombs thrown by the grenadiers in the column, and then the soldiers of the long and short armery columns engaged in battle. At this time, it was enough to shoot many rounds.
In other phalanxes on the flanks, there were cavalry corps that were just in time, and when they were not engaged, they led their horses in the middle of the brigade on foot, in order to reduce consumption and save horsepower.
As soon as they were given the corresponding orders, they would turn and accelerate at a trot along the short lanes between the phalanxes, and deal head-on blows to those who rushed in, as the case may be, with roundabout side attacks or back attacks, to reduce the whole into zero harassment and containment, and even to grow out to pursue those defeated enemies.
If you fall behind the wind or the situation is unfavorable, you can retreat into the inner circle of the infantry phalanx under the cover of the gun, and then plan after getting rest. Although there are still many slightly rough and blunt aspects of the various tactical qualities and coordination, they are already relatively skillful in application
Therefore, once the formation is completed, it can only be specifically described as defending like a rock and attacking like a landslide.
It's just that the consumption between the battle formations is also very large, so it is necessary to be accompanied by heavy baggage vehicles of the brigade under heavy protection in order to ensure basic combat efficiency, but these baggage vehicles are not ordinary vehicles, but the products of additional reinforcement of the wheel axle plates.
Although there is a sacrifice of load and capacity, it also provides some kind of screen to shield the long-range arrows, and once connected in place, it is a ready-made simple vehicle formation, which can be used to march and camp, and also provide battlefield rest.
As long as there is the corresponding carpentry and a small amount of material spare parts, it can be held on site for a long time.
Therefore, the only weakness that can be attacked is the horse's animal power used to pull the cart and carry the weight, so they are all attacked in the open terrain that is easy to be attacked, and the marching formation is tightly protected in the hollow interior.
Unless the outer screen is forcibly defeated, there is a chance to damage and threaten the baggage and mules and horses inside, but this delay is enough for the nearby friendly formations to come to the rescue or outflank and truncate tactical opportunities.
As a fan of military books and military classics in the past, he couldn't help but see Hunter Xinxi deducing in his mind how to counter the means and strategies of these firearm phalanxes, but found that in most cases, it was still unthinkable, or there were not too many opportunities to trick up.
Unless it is an overwhelming advantage, regardless of the sacrifice and casualties, a forced frontal breakthrough, and an all-out defeat of one of them in order to leverage the overall situation.
Otherwise, most of the terrain on the plains and rivers, it will be difficult for the traditional means of attacking and harassing, surprise troops, and stratagems to shake their position and order, and the cost will be high or even outweigh the losses.
Now, these guerrilla and warlike clusters outside the Humal are making the same mistakes and paranoia. Like moths gathered by the lights, they were dragged by the marching brigade and caught in a blind attack that lacked a combined force.
Although it seems to be a large number, the cavalry itself needs enough galloping space to build momentum, and it is scattered on multiple points by the battle array itself, which makes it difficult to form an effective joint force and sufficient concentration advantage in one place to withstand and resist long-range projections.
Then, in the process of repeated front impact and galloping, he was bled and consumed little by little, until he completely lost his fighting spirit and strength, and had to withdraw from the battlefield in despair.
Along the way, the army has captured or collected at least 20 or so abandoned battle flags and Dasu from various subordinate accounts. Among them, there are various totem shapes, from wolf heads, mink tails, falcon crowns to sheep skulls, and horns.
But all kinds of messy attacks have never stopped, and they have been knocked to the ground with men and horses in waves, and they have rushed to attack in waves, endlessly as if they are testing and wearing, attacking the will and endurance of the marching military formation.
therefore
Some experienced troops will even briefly fine-tune into an inclined plane in front of the formation to face the enemy who is trying to hold together and cover each other, so as to increase the density and durability of each platoon.
Don't underestimate this subtle change and the extra moment between breaths, in a fan-shaped engagement surface, it is likely that there will be dozens or hundreds of additional casualties, and further morale suppression and weakening.
Further, it will cooperate with the frequency of adjacent arrays to try to spread the damage of the intersection as much as possible, which is commonly known as targeted fire. For example, a Hu cavalry team of hundreds of people accidentally fell into the cross-firing range of at least three arrays.
The alternating volley fire in an instant turned the people they hit on their backs, almost as if they were drowned in the blood gushing out of their own bodies, and only a small group of people and horses in the middle who relied on the cascading corpses to cover them were spared for the time being, but they were knocked down one after another on the way to escape without looking back.
The more experienced non-commissioned officers and veterans will even try to predict the trajectory of the enemy's rush and shoot some kind of advance nature to inflict more hits and casualties.
This kind of thing seems quite mysterious, but in fact, it is very simple to stay away, just enough daily shooting offset training and enough battle formation sharpening, plus the generalization and experience promotion in the army.
Could this be the truth and origin of "Man Wan is invincible", Zhu Wu thought with complicated thoughts again.
"Is this a Corner Formation? ……”
Zhu Wu's face suddenly changed slightly, and he explained to the people around him
"The most used tactics of the Kumoxi people......"
"This is the wing strike formation, and it is what the White Mountain Eagles are good at......"
"This suspension and charging method hidden in the armor and horse is the characteristic of the middle of the Yellow Head Chamber......
"Cart charge? This is the old wisdom of the Tiele people, wasn't it enough to be burned by Li Weigong back then......"
"Wave Run Tactics! , the Uro Protector is also here? ”
Of course, for me, the basic tactics of the nomadic cavalry are still the same as before:
It is nothing more than to disrupt and contain the battle formation with cavalry and shooting from a distance, supplemented by the means of provoking and luring anger, dragging down two feet with the mobility of four feet, waiting until the opponent's formation is tired and revealing flaws and gaps, and then galloping close to the light cavalry assault, little by little encroaching on the wolf pack tactics of separation.
Then, according to the regional products, equipment and production and living habits of each tribe, more unique tactical details are derived.
This is the environment and conditions of the Cold Weapon Age, and in the plain areas suitable for cavalry activities, it can be said that it is an old tactic that has been tried and tested. However, it's a pity that they encountered my command this time, and the durability and lethality of the battlefield are different from usual, spanning about half an era of highly firearms troops.
It has become a kind of collision of times and battlefield trials that have been advanced, especially for me, this is more like a kind of rehearsal and battle in the grassland in the future
"Report, the vanguard pacesetter corps has recaptured the site of the Shangqing Palace camp......"
A speeding signal soldier shouted
"The remnants are being cleared, the remaining materials are checked, and the team is invited to get closer and take a break on the spot......"
"Quasi-......"
I threw out an arrow.
"This formation is the central axis of the military flag in China, and the formation is deflected to the northeast ......"
"Alternate battalions to cover ......"
"Hunting Cavalry Battalion, Teaching Team, Pro-Direct Regiment Standby Counterattack ......"
"The 1st and 4th Auxiliary Army Brigades, cover the rest of the stragglers to enter the camp first, and repair the fortifications at the camp site on the spot......"
