Chapter 1257: Yu Juluo loses first
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has a simple method of warfare, rushing straight and forcibly charging into battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Such a tactic is quite unreasonable, but it is extremely lethal.
With its heavy armor, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could almost ignore the feathered arrows thrown by the Han army. Even halberd spears do very little damage.
The Han army's vanguard battalion lacked defense skills, and had just experienced a bloody battle, and was no longer able to resist the enemy's re-onslaught, and retreating from the edge was the only choice for the Han army's vanguard battalion.
The second wave of the enemy's iron cavalry had begun to accelerate, and the Han army remained in place.
Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!
There was no order to retreat, and there was no order to prepare for defense!
Military orders are like mountains.
Without an order, the soldiers of the vanguard battalion of the Han army, as if all nailed to the ground, did not move!
Fifty steps!
At such a close distance, you can already see the hideous face of the enemy, and you can already feel the aura of death emitted by the weapons in the hands of the enemy!
"Longbow, withdraw!"
The order to retreat has finally been given!
The crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the halberders and spearmen, who had not yet received orders, were still standing!
"Spear Ministry, withdraw!"
"Halberd, withdraw!"
The order to retreat was issued one after another, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry almost rushed in front of them, and the vanguard battalion of the Han army quickly retreated!
"Whoa......"
The Han army fled without a fight, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry let out the roar of the victor!
"Ah...... Yes...... Yes! ”
As soon as the roar started, it suddenly turned into a burst of exclamations!
Lying in front of Xiliang Tieqi is a ditch!
The earth is bright yellow, apparently freshly dug up. It is no more than a foot wide, and no more than a foot deep. It was originally a small ditch, but for Xiliang Tieqi, it was comparable to an abyss!
Xiliang Iron Cavalry, heavy armor, can prevent arrows, can block guns and spears. Draped in heavy equipment, with the inertia of running, it produces a huge impact force.
Heavy armor creates an invincible attack power, and it also completely loses mobility.
The heavy equipment makes it impossible for the iron rider to jump over obstacles, and he must be more careful when going down the ditch.
The earthen ditch that is more than a foot wide and more than a foot deep is not an obstacle at all for ordinary cavalry. But for Xiliang Tieqi, it is like a chasm!
Although it is not impassable, if you want to cross this ditch, you must be cautious, the slightest carelessness may cause the horse to stumble and make people turn over on their backs.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry pursued the "fleeing enemy", the momentum was in full swing, the mood was refreshing, and all of them were quick to whip up, just wanting to kill more enemies and make great contributions.
Suddenly, I saw the gap in front of me, and everyone was shocked. screamed again and again, and reined in the horses.
However, due to inertia, the iron horse, which is like a rolling stone, cannot be restrained with the reins. Xiliang soldiers tightened the reins and sat down for a short time, but they couldn't stop.
The force of the forward rush can be slowed, and the momentum of the forward rush is difficult to stop. The hundreds of Xiliang Iron Riders who rushed to the front couldn't catch the momentum, and rushed into the dirt ditch with a scream!
Thanks to the Xiliang soldiers who have been on horseback for a long time, they are proficient in the art of control, and when they encounter accidents, they instinctively display superb control skills and try their best to control the war horse.
There are seven or eight percent of the iron horsemen who rushed into the ditch, and they were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe of people turning over on their backs, but there were still more than 100 iron horsemen, and they fell into the ditch.
"Poof...... Puff ......"
"Hiss ......"
"Ah......h
In order to pursue the ultimate in attack power, Xiliang Iron Cavalry is tied to people, people are tied to horses, and people, horses, and weapons are tied into a huge whole.
On weekdays, the Xiliang knight takes a lot of trouble to get on and off his mount, and even needs help from others. Now falling into the ditch and struggling desperately is also in vain.
And even more pitiful is the stumbling war horse. Carrying heavy riders and armor, a stumble of the hoof is a broken tendon, and it is either dead or disabled.
A small earthen ditch has become a ditch of calamity in a blink of an eye. The wounded man wailed, and the wounded horse neighed incessantly......
I wanted to break the enemy with one blow, but I ended up with someone on my back and turned over. The second shock wave of the Xiliang Army is not tragic......
……
There was a sudden change in front of him, and the fish were shocked. Urgently ordered the light cavalry team of Chang Diao to rush to the rescue. The main force of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also all activated, if the Han army dares to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, it will fight to the death of the net, you live or die!
The Han army did not counterattack.
There's no certainty of victory, there's no need to take risks.
Guo Kan ordered that all departments take turns to cover and retreat one after another, allowing the Xiliang Army to rescue the disabled soldiers and horses who fell into the ditch......
……
The Han army retreated several miles and returned to the camp.
The Xiliang army packed up the remnants and also retreated to their own barracks.
In two waves of attacks, Xiliang Iron Cavalry showed its strong attack power, but it also paid a lot of price. Riders, war horses, hundreds of casualties.
The Xiliang army has no shortage of riders, nor is there a shortage of war horses. What worries Yu Juluo the most is the loss of iron armor and horse armor.
The heavy iron cavalry is the magic weapon for winning the battle with the Han army, and it is the root of Yang Guang's life. Every pair of armor is staggeringly expensive. Although it can still be used after repair, the logistics support of the Xiliang Army is weak, and if the Han Army is like this today, it will be dragged into a lame ride in Xiliang sooner or later.
Yukura's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
The battlefield confrontation is clearly a battle between the soldiers of the two sides, but in fact, the coach is fighting wits and courage. This confrontation with Guo Kan is undoubtedly a loss.
Shouldering the heavy responsibility delivered by Yang Guang, he suffered a setback at the beginning, and Yu Juluo was restless, hesitating in the big tent.
Wang Shuang was straightforward and anxious, and today he sought the vanguard order to fight, but he failed to cut the generals in front of the battle, nor did he break through the Han army's formation, he was quite annoyed, and complained: "The surname Guo is a coward!" If you don't dare to fight in front of the battle, you will make a bad move! If you fight again tomorrow, you will definitely cut off the head surnamed Guo! ”
Wang scolded as he spoke, and Yu Juluo's face became even more ugly.
Chang Diao suspected that Wang Shuang didn't know the depths, glared at him, and stepped forward to comfort Yu Juluo and said: "Marshal, according to the opinion of his subordinates, today's mutual test of reality and reality, our army has suffered a small loss of soldiers and horses, which is not a bad thing." Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, be careful in the future, and don't fall for the enemy's tricks. ”
"Oh! General Chang is right! Wang Shuang also came over to persuade: "How can you fight without dying, hundreds of soldiers and horses, it's nothing!" Let me say that our deaths and injuries of hundreds of soldiers and horses are not only not a bad thing, but also a good thing! ”
Wang Shuangxin was straight-mouthed, and he didn't care about Chang Diao's secret eyes at all, and continued to take care of himself: "If the surnamed Guo hides this bad trick and uses it in the decisive battle in the future, we will be miserable!" Tens of thousands of horses will die, and I can't say for sure! ”
"Wang Shuang, don't talk nonsense!" Chang Diao hurriedly stopped Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang's words are not coarse, and there is some truth in what he said. However, in the barracks, there are many taboos, and those who open their mouths and close their mouths will die, and they will lose their heads!
Fortunately, Yu Juluo was quite tolerant of his subordinates, and he knew that the king was open-mouthed, just waved his hand and didn't care.
Chang Diao suggested: "Marshal, the enemy is well supplied, and our army's support is weak. If it drags on for a long time, it will be beneficial to the enemy and disadvantageous to our army. ”
"General Chang is right!" Wang Shuang's mouth is always faster than his brain. "Give the surname Guo a war book, fight again tomorrow, and fight to the death!"
Yu Juluo suddenly stood still, turned around suddenly, and said hurriedly: "Not good! Just go! ”
Chang Diao Wang didn't know why, looked at each other, and looked dumbfounded......
