Chapter 458: Fighting the Earthquake Army (Part II)
ChineseHorses are very intelligent animals and social animals, and they can be trained to be disciplined. Please search (@¥) to see the most complete! The fastest updated and the war horses in the army have been selected and bred, and they naturally retain the excellent qualities of restraint, bravery, and agility.
However, this time is different from the past, in the past, the war horses were at most facing cavalry and infantry charges, but this time they were facing the slaughter of hot weapons.
"Dashuai, it's too late!" The Xixia general next to Brother Cha sighed: "The bow and arrow have been shot, how can they be recovered!" ”
Two thousand iron harriers and four thousand light horsemen have rushed towards the Song army, and the battlefield situation is instantaneous, and at this moment, they are in the midst of the chaos, how can they recruit back.
If you can't fight, you can escape, why do you say that the Western Xia cavalry has become a lamb in front of the Song army's firearms, this has to start from the terrain where it is located, the road from Dingbian City to the Zhenwu Army is between the mountains and mountains, and the terrain that Cha Ge chose to face the Song Army is the most open and flat place between the two cities, which can give full play to the advantages of the Western Xia cavalry, but I didn't expect the Song army to suddenly appear such a powerful firearm.
At this moment, the most elite iron harrier in Western Xia has lost its combat effectiveness, and the remaining four thousand Western Xia light cavalry have come up with a nest of fronts, forming a dense charging formation, and will become the target of the Song army's firearms.
The Tangut people have always been martial, and the soldiers are even more well-trained. The four thousand Western Xia light cavalry quickly gathered their formation, bypassed the chaotic and uncontrollable iron harriers, and began to charge towards the Song army.
Whether it's a bed crossbow, a trebuchet, or an archer's bow and arrow, Lotte doesn't want to shoot a firearm at the enemy's body, but only to be able to throw it in the enemy's charging formation.
Although the power is a little smaller, with the high density of bows and arrows, the damage caused by a single shot is not much smaller than that of a bed crossbow or catapult.
In war, arguing about the number of casualties on both sides and the superiority of command is actually inferior, even if the time and place are taken advantage of, if there is no peace, the advantage will be lost. In ancient times, morale was the most important thing in the use of troops, and the casualty rate and loss rate of the army could hit morale the most.
It is an unbreakable law that the troops will inevitably collapse when they are damaged to a certain extent. Fighting to the last soldier is just a slogan of determination and courage in later films, television and reality, and it can never be reality. When part of the casualty rate reaches a certain level, the troops naturally fall into collapse.
In the overwhelming firearm attacks of the Song army, the Western Xia soldiers, who were good at horseback and were familiar with cavalry and archery, could not give full play to their strengths, and those war horses who were frightened in the rumbling explosion were even more frantic and did not listen to the control of the riders, running wildly and neighing to get out of the attack formation.
In the rumbling roar, the first to be attacked by the firearms of the Song army, the already chaotic iron harrier war horse could no longer stand the attack of firearms, and a team of war horses that were no longer controlled by the knights in the first row suddenly turned their horses' heads and withdrew from the battlefield, rushing towards the Western Xia army behind them.
The Iron Harrier is not only used to deal with the foot soldiers, but also to deal with the cavalry, relying on the huge impact force, the Western Xia heavy cavalry began to rush towards the cavalry of the army. The light cavalry of Western Xia is the opponent of the iron harrier, and the people who were immediately hit turned over on their backs, and the soldiers and horses trampled on each other and died even more.
At this moment, Brother Cha's face was difficult to see, but he was helpless. Seeing the front of the two armies, their own front army was completely in chaos, and many war horses turned around and rushed back because they were frightened and not controlled by their riders.
The Iron Harrier is not in vain, and it is impossible for the Western Xia army to kill the people and horses of the headquarters, Brother Cha has red eyes, and finally nodded helplessly, and then ordered the gong to withdraw the troops, and led the army to retreat in the direction of Zhenwu City.
Hearing the sound of the gong of Mingjin to withdraw the troops, the Western Xia soldiers who were in a dilemma were amnesty, and they turned their horses' heads and ran towards their own camp, and those frightened war horses, no matter how the knights on horseback whipped, either stood still in place, or rushed in the opposite direction of the Song army.
After all, it's the most important thing to save your life.
"Dashuai, the Xixia people have retreated!" Seeing the Western Xia soldiers retreating, some soldiers who climbed on a high place to look out hurriedly reported to Liu Fayu.
Qu Jin, who was waiting beside Liu Fa, hurriedly said: "The end will be!" ”
"The last will be ordered!" Qu Jin gave up, and then went out of the camp and began to clean up the battlefield with more than 1,000 cavalry in the Song army.
"This battle was fought happily, our army had almost no casualties, and the thieves were wounded by hundreds, and even left five or six hundred horsemen!" Brushing his gray beard, Liu Fa laughed out loud, and even the wrinkles on his face stretched.
The laughter fell, and Liu Fa ordered the captain next to him: "Invite Master Le!" ”
In Liu Fa's eyes, Lotte is not only his life-saving benefactor, but also a general who loves to use his brains, otherwise his current saint would not have intentionally cultivated Lotte and sent him to the Western Army to familiarize himself with military affairs.
Signaling Lotte not to be polite, Liu Fa smiled and said: "Don't be polite, this Lord Le has made great contributions, and the old man must ask the court for Lord Le!" ”
Yang Weizhong, who covered the flank of the front army, but had not been put to use, stepped forward at this time and arched his hand to Lotte: "Lord Le, it was Yang before, and now Yang is compensating you!" ”
Seeing this, Lotte hurriedly replied: "General Yang should not be polite, this battle can be won by the lower officials, and there is too much luck mixed in the meantime!" ”
After the politeness, Lotte Zhengse and Liu Fa said: "I wonder if the marshal has the idea of annihilating Brother Cha to avenge the revenge of Ancheng?" ”
