Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Kidnapping Horse (2)
The bolts disappeared into the crowd of enemy riders like phantoms. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Jurchens were still charging at high speed.
The scene in front of him was familiar, as if Plainstown had shot the Rogue army. It's just that at that time, because there were too many enemies, the dead didn't have time to fall at all, and they were swallowed up by the tide of people coming from behind. And this time, it was because the Jurchens were struggling to endure it. These soldiers from the Northland were savage and strong, disregarding the enemy and their own lives.
"Why didn't you shoot, why didn't you shoot?" Beside Wang Shen, Du Shu shouted in surprise. He didn't know anything about military affairs and didn't know what he was supposed to do. From the beginning of the Sizhou army, he followed Wang Shen nervously, as if he could only feel at ease when he saw him.
As for the other Weizhou scribes, they were already scattered among the infantry, each with a spear in hand, and leaned forward with force.
Before Wang Shen could answer, in front, Lu Can in the crossbow array shouted again: "Crossbowman, lower your finger and shoot flat!" ”
In the past month, this set of tactics has been practiced countless times a day, and it has already become a part of the soldiers' body memory. There was no time to think about it, and all the crossbowmen flattened their bows and fired at the same time.
"Answer" finally heard a dull sound of falling horses, followed by the war horses falling to the ground and rolling, and the harmony neighed. The first platoon of the enemy's cavalry group was loosened, and the fallen horses and human corpses slammed into the ground, wet mud and human blood sprayed into the air, and the white gas coming out of the mouths and noses of the men and horses was replaced by a piece of red.
"Okay, shoot the Tartar, shoot the Tartar!" Du Shu shouted excitedly, and even had some inexplicable thoughts in his heart: Isn't this girl really so difficult to fight, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, she only knows how to rush forward, and she doesn't know how to dodge, and she is not even as good as last night's Liao dog.
There are not many enemy horsemen, and a few more volleys will wipe them out.
However, it was as if he had not heard the thoughts in his heart. Ahead, Lu Can shouted: "Crossbowman, retreat!" ”
Immediately, all the crossbowmen put away their weapons and stepped back.
At the same time, the cavalry of the enemy's second platoon accelerated sharply, overtook their companions in front, and slammed into the Sizhou military formation.
At this time, Du Shu suddenly understood that the distance between the two armies was only two or three hundred paces, and this distance, the fast horse was coming in an instant, and there was only time for the crossbowman to shoot two arrows.
The loud barrel of the gun snapped, the horse's hooves stepped on the shield, the human body rolled to the ground, and the crisp sound of swords and spears stabbing the flesh was heard. Before the big array, a crowd turned their horses up. Relying on the shield to protect the front, and then stabbing straight with a spear, the state army barely withstood the onslaught of the enemy horse.
No matter how brave and fierce the Jurchens were, and they lost their impact speed, they left about twenty corpses, roared, pulled out their horses' heads, swept flat in front of the large array, and ran away.
Du Shu couldn't help but cheer: "Repelled, repulsed...... ......" made his heart tremble, and hot liquid gushed out of his eyes.
Yes, the Jurchens were shot and killed about a dozen or so during the charge, and more than 20 people were stabbed to death by a spear in one contact just now, and they suffered a lot of losses.
However, the Sizhou army was no better. I saw that the brand players led by Gu Lie in the front row of the large array basically fell to the ground, and in the pool of blood, the broken shields were scattered all over the ground, and the soldiers who were not dead were slightly twitching on the ground. Their bodies were horribly twisted, apparently broken by the heavy weapons in the hands of the enemy. Some of the armor on their bodies had been torn to shreds, revealing the broken internal organs inside, which was a mace.
These brand players have been practiced by Gu Lie for the past month, undressing, pushing food, and practicing with one hand and one foot, which can be said to be like brothers. After last night's fighting and the ferocious impact of the Jurchens just now, more than half of them have gone.
I saw that the big scar on Gu Lie's face was beating violently, and his eyes were full of tears.
Not only the brand players, but also the spearmen also suffered a lot of losses. Many of them had broken spears in their hands, and they couldn't stop spitting blood from their mouths, and some people just lay quietly on the ground and stopped breathing.
Among the grief and indignation, only Wang Shen's face remained unchanged. He shouted to boost his morale and shouted, "Very well, the first wave of the Tartar attack has been crushed by us." However, the enemy did not use all their strength, and their cavalry walked away after being blocked, apparently only a test, and then the real chapter will be seen. Set up your formation and prepare for the second round of battles. Lu Can, go up! Our army is limited in numbers, and the sword and shield men have been completely lost. Don't retreat back into the formation after you have shot two rounds of arrows, and make up for the Gu Lie team, which is the first barrier for our army. Do not be afraid of sacrifice, your sacrifice is worthwhile. ”
"Yes, General!" Lu Can shouted: "Crossbowman, crossbowman, follow me!" ”
The crossbowmen were again at the front, lined up in three rows, and raised their weapons aloft.
At the same time, after a short period of confusion, the infantry formation of the Sizhou army converged towards the center at the same time and became tight again.
It's just that it's smaller than before.
Seeing the crossbowmen standing silently in front of the formation and Wang Shen with an expressionless face, thousands of goosebumps erupted on Du Shu's body. This Wang Daosi, his heart is so cold! The armor on the crossbowmen is the thinnest, and how can they resist the enemy's fast horse collision, after this round of fighting, I don't know how many of these men are left.
As far as his words are concerned, the enemy's tentative attack just now has caused heavy losses to the Sizhou army, so I don't know what a tragic scene it will be next.
As if he knew that he couldn't stand it today, an old soldier from the Western Army sang in a low voice: "Take the twelve prefectures of Shanxi first, and other elements will beat the head of the ya." Looking back at Qinsai, he was as low as a horse, and gradually saw the Yellow River flowing straight north. ”
Then came the second person, the third person, and the hundredth person: "Tianwei swept across the Yellow River, and the Qiang people sang all the Han songs." Huangyan crosses the mountain and flows backwards, and goes from the west of the church to make Enbo. ”
"The horsetail huqin follows the Han car, and the music is still self-complaining. Bend the bow and shoot the geese in the clouds......"
Soon, the singing was covered by the fierce sound of horses' hooves.
Then, it's time to shoot from the sky.
The bow of the divine arm pierces through the armor, through the heart, through the horse's head, and breaks the bones......
After shooting two rounds of arrows, the crossbowman threw the divine arm bow in his hand, turned around and ran back to the front of the formation, drew his waist knife, picked up the shield on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Dog Tartar, my Sizhou army would rather die than retreat!" ”
"Great Song, Great Song!"
An even more fierce whirlwind of horses' hooves struck, but there were figures in the air that had been knocked up.
Short and violent, after a surprise attack by the enemy horsemen, they swept in front of the formation, ran away with impunity, circled in the distance, and formed a group again in preparation for a third charge.
It was still a great sacrifice, and everyone opened their mouths wide and their chests rose and fell violently.
The snow fluttered and swirled in the wind, covering the head and face, and the banner hunted and waved, and the vision was chaotic.
Hundreds of men had turned white on their heads and bodies, and even their hair and beards were frosted.
Jiangnan in the middle of winter in the third year of Jianyan was so cold.
"Divisions, shrink, regroup!" Wang Shen's cold voice sounded again: "Yue Yun." ”
"The last general!"
"Can you charge on horseback?"
"The end."
"Okay, our army has six war horses, you and me, and four more."
Du Shu exclaimed in surprise: "Daosi, what are you going to do?" ”
Wang Shen shouted: "Come and don't be rude, if you want to break the cavalry, the best way is to break the cavalry." Who's okay, come here! ”
"I will!" Gu Lie replied loudly.
"I will!" Three more men came over, all officers in the army.
"Okay, hand over your command to the deputy, hehe, wait a minute, let's meet the world-famous Jurchen kidnapping horse!" Wang Shen shouted loudly: "Lu Can, you stay in command of the Chinese army, and when I disrupt the enemy formation, the whole army will be pressed." Straight lady thief, Lao Tzu can't be beaten so passively anymore. To fight back, at all costs. ”
"Yes!" Without waiting for Lu Can to answer, all the soldiers shouted in unison.
The reason why the cavalry became a nightmare for the infantry, in addition to the powerful impact power, was even more terrifying was his high-speed maneuvering. With fast horses, the cavalry can choose to attack at the right time, in the right place, and at the right opportunity. Even if the battle doesn't go well, it can get out of the battle for a while, and it doesn't give you a chance to fight hard at all.
To win this victory, to annihilate the enemy, you have to slow them down, drag them down, entangle them. Only when everyone is wrapped together can it be regarded as a fair contest, and only then can they win a glimmer of life for themselves and the Sizhou army.
Otherwise, if they continue to fight so aggrievedly, the Sizhou army will be consumed by them sooner or later.
Kidnapping horses, sure enough, are one of the strongest cavalry in this era! Whether it is the soldier's riding skills or tactics, it is pure and terrifying.
Only by taking the initiative can the fallen warriors of the Sizhou Army not die in vain.
The six horsemen silently broke out from behind the formation and ran to the three hundred paces behind, secretly accumulating strength.
Including Wang Shen, everyone was serious. Yue Yun took out a few pieces of jerky from his arms, put them in his mouth, chewed them heavily, and swallowed them with the help of wine. From last night to now, everyone has not eaten a grain of rice, and their physical strength is on the verge of collapse.
This little child, the first time he went to the battlefield, was calm from beginning to end, and his heart was terrifyingly strong.
The wind was roaring, and ahead, the Jurchen horses' hooves roared.
Little Six rode in the wind and snow, and seemed so small in the vast wilderness, it was easy to be ignored by the Jurchens.
And this is exactly the time that Wang Shen is waiting for.
"Let's go!" With a low shout, Wang Shen rushed out first.
Beside him, Yue Yun, Gu Lie and other five horsemen protected him in the heart, and also bowed their heads and galloped.
The six of them made a big circle behind the infantry phalanx laid out by the Sizhou army, went around the back of the Jurchens, and entered with the trend.
The eyelids were already frozen, itchy with cold, and the snow couldn't stop hitting his face, but Wang Shen still tried his best to keep his eyes open.
A Jurchen rider felt a cold wind coming behind him and turned his head suddenly.
Before Yue Yun Gulie and the others could make a move. Wang Shenxin's two-meter-long, two-finger-wide, ten-pound long-handled ring-headed steel knife had already been cut out.
Fight right away, this kind of ring-head knife is much better than a heavy drop knife.
The sharp blade slashed the throat, stopping the screams of the enemy in horror.
