Chapter 128: Response and Change of Formation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The sun has risen high, there is no wind, and the arid rice fields have been trampled by people and horses, and the dust has risen high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is like a fog, chaos is not clear.
Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in front of them, all the Kong family soldiers widened their eyes in panic and pushed each other. It seems that in the next moment, there will be thousands of monsters like the previous ones jumping out of that yellow patch and choosing people to devour.
Prior to this, Kong Yanzhou was very unimpressed with Wang Shen's great prestige and outstanding achievements. In his opinion, the Jurchens and Khitans are the most fierce warriors in the world, especially the Jurchens, who are simply fierce beasts. Compared with them, the Song people are really weak, and a few Jurchens dare to fight with more than a thousand Song troops.
When Wang Shen was in Jiankang, he only had a battalion of men and horses at hand, so he dared to boast that he had repelled Yelu Ma Wu, and he led five hundred kidnappers and horses to pull out quickly, and the cowhide was not blown like this.
Later, I heard that Wang Shen was the doorman of Du Chong's bastard thing. Moreover, his wife and brother also married a woman from the Du family, and Kong Yanzhou suddenly realized - it seems that those so-called merits should be made by others, and Du Chong helped him take all the merits away in order to promote him as a cronie - this lucky boy who met a nobleman!
After taking Qizhou, seeing that Wang Shen was hiding in Huanggang City and did not dare to come out, he was humbly asking for peace and marriage, and Kong Yanzhou despised him even more.
But at this moment, seeing the strength of Wang Shen's cavalry, he was stunned to find that he had encountered an enemy who was not overwhelmed by the Jurchens and Khitans. Yes, these riders are so clever at riding that they are like Mongols who grew up on horseback.
Lao Tzu was deceived by him, and he deceived him so badly.
Kong Xian, who had been shouting exaggeratedly before, quieted down, and looked ahead thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see through the smoke and dust in the distance.
This kid is a little quiet.
Kong Yanzhou couldn't help but shout: "What are you looking at?" ā
Being reprimanded by his father, Kong Xian's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Daddy, daddy, my son just thinks that this army is already in chaos, and it is not good to say that Wang Daosi's cavalry is about to turn around and rush over, come again, we are afraid that we will be defeated." ā
"It makes sense." Kong Yanzhou immediately ordered: "Maintain the battle team, and cut down all the people who were in chaos when they encountered the enemy just now." ā
"Ah, Daddy, don't!"
"The military master, the military master, in a big war, how can you kill soldiers?" Everyone was shocked, Kong Yanzhou was thirsty for killing, and this time he moved the knife, I don't know how many brothers want to fall to the ground.
Everyone hasn't received their military salaries for a long time, and there is no reward money for this time, so they are already full of resentment, and they should be appeased. If you go under the knife again, doesn't this make everyone's hearts cold?
Moreover, the soldiers went all the way to Qihuang, and most of them were related to their relatives, and they rashly moved their swords, for fear that the troops would make an uproar in the future, and it would be difficult for this soldier to bring.
To manage the army and lead the army, we pay attention to both grace and power. If you have power but don't be kind, who will die for you?
"Kill, less nonsense, or I will cut you together!" Kong Yanzhou ordered again and again with a blushing face.
The sword light flickered, and in an instant, more than ten heads, dozens of generals and foot soldiers rolled to the ground, and the chaotic right wing of the large array was relatively stable.
Kong Yanzhou suddenly felt a little happy in his heart: fortunately, there were not many cavalry surnamed Wang, and they were all light horses. If he had had had given him a few hundred more white spurs and heavy horsemen, and rushed along the collapsed right flank, there would have been no need for this battle.
Cavalry, cavalry, those four-legged beasts under Wang Shen are so annoying, I have to find a way to break them.
Looking around at the group of sergeants under the banner of Shuai, his heart moved: "You all get on the horse, wait and go with me, Lao Tzu wants to give Wang Shen a little color to see." Kong Xian, you will fight with me! ā
Although Kong Yanzhou did not have cavalry, he was also the commander of an army of 30,000 people. There are still three catties of nails in the ship, there are still good horses in the army, and there are officers from all armies, and their personal guards also have horses.
In a hurry, you can also gather a team of cavalry, and if it is used at a critical moment, it will have a miraculous effect.
"Ah, Daddy......" Kong Xian's face changed color in fright.
"What, something that wasn't planted?"
"Father, the child was kicked by you before, and his heart hurt so badly that he couldn't do it." Kong Xian's shaved bare head was covered with sweat, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or afraid.
"Don't talk nonsense, your heart doesn't hurt sooner or later, it hurts at this time. Hugh as much as you want, or cut off your head and shock the whole army. Kong Yanzhou smiled and pulled his son to him, and said loudly to the people around him: "Fight the tiger brothers, go into battle with father and son, wait for my only son Kong Xian to rush to kill in front, you just need to kill the enemy with your life." ā
"Yes." Only then did everyone respond.
The sun was very strong, and it hurt hotly on the scalp, but Kong Xian felt a chill in his heart.
"Straight to his mother, Wang Shen, I'll let you see how powerful Grandpa is later, don't think that a four-legged beast can do whatever he wants in front of someone?" Kong Yanzhou spat out a mouthful of green purulent phlegm fiercely. Spit onto a soldier's helmet and hung down sticky.
ā¦ā¦
"How?" At this moment, Wang Shen and the five hundred cavalry had already rushed back to the banner of the Chinese army, and he laughed loudly.
Zhong Tabai also laughed: "Kong Yanzhou, waste one, the military envoy's tactics, I'm waiting!" ā
"Get out of the ground and let the horses breathe." Wang Shen jumped off the ground and ordered loudly: "You also change into heavy armor spears, and there will be another bloody battle soon." ā
"Yes!" Everyone took the armor buns that the groom had carried, and with their help, they quickly put the intricate armor on their bodies.
Even the war horses were draped in a large blanket for simple protection.
In a sense, this light ride has been transformed into a monkey version of the mounted horse.
There is no way, there are only so many resources at hand, and the cavalry not only has to take on the task of harassing the formation, but also is responsible for charging the formation.
Only when you have accumulated enough horses in the future can you divide them into two classes: light cavalry and heavy cavalry. But the cavalry has to be honed on the battlefield first, and it is better to wait for people and equipment than to let equipment wait for people.
Although there are not many cavalrymen, they are a monster who eats money. Weekday training and maintenance require a lot of manpower and material resources, a cavalry has two sets of armor, one light and one heavy, with spears, short axes, sabers, divine arm bows, bones, and chain hammers. Even if you go to the battlefield, you need to carry two grooms with you.
At the moment, the soldiers are busy. Some people are wearing armor, some people are hurrying to fill their mouths with food, and some people are opening their skins to hydrate the sweaty war horses.
War horses are a strategic material that is very expensive, it is a water hyacinth, and it needs to drink a lot of clean water after charging. Otherwise, you will get intestinal obstruction. In addition, the cavalrymen were all strong men, and after strenuous exercise, they were hungry very quickly.
This time, Qin Sizhao was also brought over by Wang Shen.
The little guy was not afraid, and immediately ran forward to take the reins of Wang Shen's war horse and dragged it aside, unsaddled it, and loaded it on another spare horse: "Father, please change horses." ā
"Okay."
"Tighter, tighter." Beside him, a horseman as thin as a macaque grandson roared loudly at the horseman.
The horseman tugged at the belt on the armor with both hands, and bared his teeth hard: "Fang Yuhou, you are too thin, the size of this armor is wrong, it can't be tight at all!" ā
That's right, this person is Fang Wurong, and today is his first battle.
Wang Shen looked funny, stepped forward, took the belt, stretched out his foot and kicked on his vest, and finally tightened his armor: "Fang Irong, how is it?" ā
"I've seen the military envoy, but my subordinates don't understand."
Wang Shen: "How did you feel when you went into battle for the first time?" ā
"The military envoy doesn't need to worry, this is not the first time that his subordinates have fought with others, and everyone will be punished for their rebellious ministers and thieves. The last general will be determined and will not show the slightest mercy. ā
"Okay, wait a minute, it is estimated that we will rush into battle, there will be casualties, don't be afraid, just follow the team."
"I am willing to die for the military envoys!" Fang Irong said loudly.
Today was his first time in battle, but this scholar had no fear at all, riding on the undulating horseback, looking at the raging cavalry array, his heart swelled with a heroic feeling unique to literary and artistic youth.
It's really romantic, this is the romance that belongs to men. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion, if you are a scholar and a marquis.
"Lao Guo."
"What does the master command?"
Wang Shen pointed to Fang Irong in the distance: "This Fang Irong is strictly speaking, today is his first battle, you are optimistic about him." ā
How did Lao Guo know that Wang Shen attached great importance to the officers and non-commissioned officers who could read and write in the army, and such as Fang Irong, a brave newcomer, was even more regarded as a baby bump, so he said: "Don't worry, the villain will be optimistic about him." ā
"Go and call Yue Yun...... No, let Huyan pass. Wang Shen's mind moved: "Ordered Yantong to temporarily hand over the command to the deputy general." ā
After a while, Hu Yantong rode from the front army formation to the banner of the Chinese military commander: "Military envoy, what are you doing when you shout the last general?" ā
Wang Shen glanced at him and couldn't help but nodded: "What a fierce general, would you like to be my escort and charge into battle with a certain cavalry?" ā
I saw that Hu Yantong was wearing a heavy iron armor, and the helmet and armor leaves were also coated with tung oil, which looked shiny and shiny, and it was simply a giant heavenly cow. He carried a long spear in his hand and an iron whip pinned to his back. If you guessed correctly, this set of equipment should have been handed down by the ancestors of the Huyan family.
Hearing that Wang Shen let himself charge with him, Hu Yantong was overjoyed: "Naturally willing!" To tell the truth, the reason why he was able to be the former leading general of the Sizhou Army was mainly because of his high position, and Wang Shenyou saw that he was loyal and good. In fact, the officers and men of the former army were not convinced.
There is an unwritten rule in the Sizhou army that the generals in the army must fight from the battlefield. After several bloody battles, the officers of the unit suffered great sacrifices, which can be said to be a small half. Now the officers in the Sizhou army, not to mention all the heads above, even the generals and captains below, who has not had the blood of the enemy on their hands?
Hu Yantong is a person with a short temper, how can he see the disapproving expressions of his soldiers, and he is also eager to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, so that others can see if Hu Yantong is a good man. He had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
Now he wants to follow the king's army to charge into battle, how can he refuse.
"Okay, it's up to you later, follow me, don't disappoint you."
After that, Wang Shen turned over and shouted to his subordinates: "Everyone has rested enough, go, kill for a while!" ā
The five hundred cavalry were launched again, this time everyone was heavily armoured, and the sound of horses' hooves was more sonorous than before.
The rumbling thunder echoed through the wilderness again.
