Chapter 215: I'd rather die than retreat

Of course, you have to stop it! But the original Czech army was sent to the officer. Many people have never even seen what heavy cavalry looks like, let alone combat experience. According to historical data, the method of the Yuejia army to deal with the Jin army with heavy cavalry was to use the heavy infantry army to rush into the formation with large swords and giant axes, and cut off the legs of horses. Now it seems that this argument is obviously untenable, people are not a few horses together, besides, even if you are a heavy infantry, before the mobility of the cavalry is not lost, why do you break into the formation of people? The horrible force of the impact will crack your guts apart!

"How did you deal with the party's heavy cavalry before?" Xu Wei asked quickly.

Wang Yan shook his head: "There is no other way, mainly rely on bows and crossbows." However, the Xia Army's iron harrier has extremely high protection, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to cause effective damage, and they have to use a divine arm bow and a stepping crossbow. ”

Yang Jin, the hornless cow, saw that the chief and deputy commanders had come over, walked quickly to meet him, and said anxiously: "Two adults, it's time for us to get on, right?" ”

Xu Wei didn't have time to answer him, Tiefutu wanted to attack my right flank, and the big array must be adjusted immediately. After a little summary with Wang Yan, it was immediately decided to gather all the heavy infantry together and protect them in front of the crossbowmen. However, as soon as the herald ran out, the Iron Float began to attack. They are at most 100 steps away from the Hujie army formation, and they can rush to the front of the formation with two soaks of urine. Xu Wei was a little flustered, and shouted sharply: "Quick! The first command all foot soldiers to protect in front of the bow and crossbow, no matter what, block the onslaught of enemy horses! ”

Hujie Shifeng didn't know what "Iron Floating Tu" was, and of course they were fearless. Turn around as ordered, face east, and line up in a dense formation. However, there were a large number of crossbowmen, and it was difficult to fully convey military orders for a while, and due to the limited communication conditions, they could only be dictated by heralds one by one. Seeing that the six or seven thousand crossbowmen had not yet realized the approaching danger, Xu Wei's eyes were red. At the other end of the formation, the heavy infantry, which had just received the order, was gathering to the right.

It's too late! The terrifying roar suddenly sounded, and Xu Wei turned back suddenly, only to see that the "Iron Floating Slaughter" had rushed to a distance of five hundred steps! Sure enough, the men and horses were all heavily armoured, and only the four horsemen's calves were exposed. And the cavalry also abandoned the scimitars they always used, all the pikes! This huge weight plus the degree of running, once it hits the Tiger Jie Infantry Army, the consequences,

Xu Wei had never panicked so much before when he set up a trick to put the pistol on the table, and the deafening sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, and even Wang Yan couldn't help but change his face. Jun hurriedly said to Xu Wei: "This place is dangerous, all the commanders are commanders, it is advisable to retreat!" ”

Xu Wei didn't seem to hear him. His eyes were fixed on the Iron Float, which was already within range of the Divine Arm Bow. But at this time, the Divine Arm Archers at the end of the large array had not yet received orders.

In fact, they also saw a strange cavalry coming from the flank, but they didn't have a military order, who would dare to fire an arrow indiscriminately?

Seeing him like this, Wang Yan shouted to his soldiers like thunder: "Protect the Zhijun!" Several of Xu Wei's personal soldiers were eager to try, but after all, they couldn't muster up the courage to be rude to the chief. Wang Yan was so anxious that he was helpless, and roared "offended" and reached out to grab him. Xu Wei made an astonishing move at this time, snatched the bow and arrow from one of his own soldiers, and shouted: "Lift me up!" The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses, snatched the shields from the heavy infantry, and knelt on the ground with their hands raised. A few shields fought, Xu Wei jumped up, waited for the soldiers to lift him behind the scenes, opened his bow and arrows, and shot straight towards the rushing Iron Floating Tu!

Xu Wei is not good at using a bow, so this arrow naturally did not hit. But most of the soldiers saw it really, and the last one who commanded the Divine Arm Bow in the big array saw it, and asked the soldiers around him, "What does this mean by knowing the army?" Don't you let us release arrows? ”

How dare an ordinary soldier get involved in this? Lou De shook his head again and again and said that he didn't know, but he saw that the enemy had already ridden nearly three hundred steps, and he hesitated again and again, but still did not give an order. The reason is that if the commander does not mean this, then he will commit the military law of disobeying the order and be executed on the spot without consultation. Therefore, he really did not dare to take this risk.

When he was struggling, he suddenly saw the herald galloping forward, and before he arrived, he shouted: "Let's play!" Shoot the enemy rider on the right flank! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

When they heard this, they knew something bad was wrong, and they jumped and shouted in panic: "Quick! Adjust your bearings! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

The first commander of the heavy infantry at the forefront finally saw the galloping iron float, the men and horses were shrouded in iron armor, and the cavalry was holding a large spear more than a zhang long. Seeing such a terrifying iron horse for the first time, the soldiers couldn't help but be a little frightened, looking around and looking at each other, and they all saw the same panic in the eyes of their comrades as they were. Someone saw the trend of this row of rivers falling into the sea, and their bodies involuntarily shrank back. As soon as he moved, his comrades around him followed suit. As a result, more than a thousand

At this moment of urgency, the Divine Arm Bow was finally powerful! As the whistling arrows flew over their heads, the hoplites somewhat regained some courage. But then, something that shocked everyone happened.

I saw that an enemy was hit by an arrow, but I didn't see half a person fall off the horse! What kind of power is the Divine Arm Bow, even the strongest tree like elm can shoot half an arrow into it! What kind of armor are these enemy horsemen wearing, and can't even do anything about them with the Divine Arm Bow? Come to think of it. The soldiers couldn't help but shudder! Lianqi County robbed a share of grain. In the face of the veterans who had never wavered in the impact of the cavalry of the five or six thousand gold army, their hands began to tremble.

The earth shook, the mountains shook, the earth cracked, and the waves crashed on the shore, all the words were not enough to describe the terrible scene when the heavy cavalry moved and attacked. This scene made Xu Wei suddenly seem to return to the Sichuan earthquake before the crossing.

Wang Yan was desperate. Fei pounced forward and tore down Xu Wei, and shouted hysterically: "Someone! Take the Zhijun away! The pro-soldiers did not hesitate at all, rushed up, set up Xu Wei, and desperately dragged the Chinese army. Xu Wei watched as Tiefutu collided with the heavy infantry army of the first commander in this regressive gaze......

He had always been proud of the tenacious style of the self-bow army, but at this time, in front of the Iron Floating Tu, he understood what it meant to destroy the withering and decaying. More than a thousand infantry in full armor. Although they were in a dense phalanx, they were caught off guard and fearful, and their formation dispersed, so that when the Iron Floating Massacre rushed over with ten thousand powers. Easily tore through the right flank of the Tiger Victory array. Weight plus equipment. The heavy infantry, which weighed more than 250 pounds, was hit and blood sprayed wildly, and flew straight out! And the crossbowmen in the back needless to say,"

This Iron Floating Massacre, which was less than a thousand horses, was like entering a no-man's land in a dense array several times its own, and the Hujie soldiers were knocked away. Or trampled, there is simply not the slightest power to fight back. The sound of wailing filled Xu Wei's ears"

"Protect the intellectuals! Protect the Intellectuals! The soldiers carried him to the north to avoid the onslaught of the cavalry. But how can a man have a horse that runs fast, and a horse comes with a storm of blood and rain. The personal soldier who had followed Xu Wei from Xujiazhuang pushed him suddenly, but he was knocked to the ground, and the iron hooves of the Jurchen war horse stepped on him mercilessly. A terrible scream made Xu Weiru wake up.

He suddenly struggled away. Rushing forward, staring at the Iron Floating Slaughter that had just rushed past him! He could see very clearly that there was a bloody hole in the back of the horseman's chest, which was obviously a wound caused by the Divine Arm Bow! Moreover, the cavalryman was already lying on horseback, apparently dead, but why did he not fall from his horse?

He couldn't think too much about it, the chaotic soldiers were in shock, and they were in dire need of encouragement. Xu Wei took a sip, and a pair of eyes were already red, almost dripping blood. With a blushing face, he vigorously pushed away the panicked soldiers in front of him. Desperately ran in the direction of Shuai Qi. Now, we must let the soldiers know that he is still alive, he is still alive, he is not dead, and he has not escaped!

Running on the drum cart and holding the handsome flag, the scene Xu Wei saw made his eyes crack! The formation of the Hujie army has been clearly scattered. Tiefutu rushed over from the center of the formation, and this Xuan was still reckless, and he was about to rush out of the formation. They did not stop for the slightest, but rushed forward in a straight line, and although they carried a cavalry spear more than a foot long, they rarely saw them stab.

There is a way to be blessed. Misfortune is not good, just when the formation was scattered by the Iron Floating Massacre, Xu Wei saw a scene that he didn't want to see the last thing he wanted, a thousand steps away, the infantry of the Li Jin coalition army had begun to sweep in, this is the infantry and cavalry cooperation.

Xu Wei's hand holding the flagpole has no strength for a while, is it possible that I will be defeated at the foot of this Xiaoxi Mountain today? Although victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but if I lose, one government and three states will inevitably fall into the hands of thieves, and the entire Hedong will also fall. Although Zhao Huan and the imperial court have given up on the two rivers, that is their business, and Lao Tzu can't watch this treasure land fall into the hands of Li Zhi!

Wang Yan snatched it up. Asking aloud how to cope. Xu Wei shook his head violently for a while, looked at the Li Jin infantry in front of him like a tide, and looked to the left, where the Iron Floating Slaughter had already stood out. The entire Hujie array was very scattered, but the cavalry on the two wings was still neat. Seeing this, he shouted: "Order Mattei, at all costs, rush over for me!" Win or die today! ”

Although Wang Yan responded loudly. But he knew in his heart that he had already fought to this point, so where could he win? However, they must not flee, as soon as the Jurchen light cavalry Hujie army shows signs of retreating, they will immediately cover up and kill them. In almost all major battles, the greatest casualty is not the fight between the two armies, but the rout of one side, while the other side takes advantage of the situation to chase and kill with light horses, and the fleeing side will often ambush the corpse for dozens of miles, (to be continued)
