Chapter 554: The wolf rides to show its might
After seeing a group of cavalry rushing out of the army of the island country, Zhang Liao not only felt strange, but was a little excited in his heart.
There are not many good horses in the island country, so there are few cavalry. But the island army does not mean that there are no cavalry, on the contrary, as long as you see the island country soldiers on horseback, it must be the elite soldiers of the island country. However, even if it is an elite soldier, Zhang Liao will not take it in his eyes.
And the state wolf rides, when have you ever been afraid of the elite?
Is it less than the elite who died under the iron hooves of the wolf riding in Bingzhou?
Those cavalry of the island country also have their eyes on the top of their heads, where do they think how amazing the cavalry of this big man is that comes out in front of them. On weekdays, even the most elite warriors of the island country would not be in their eyes, so how could they possibly put the wolf rider in their eyes.
The wolf riders in Bingzhou saw the enemy, and they also knew that the other party was an elite soldier, so at this time, these wolf riders were full of war intent in their hearts. As for the cavalry of those island countries, they were incomparably light at this time.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, those island cavalry were dumbfounded. They have always been unscrupulous in the island country, but they found that in front of the wolf rider, they were like children, and they had no power to fight back.
Although they are also good at martial arts, they have not experienced any baptism of war after all. But wolf riders are different, they have been trained on the battlefield from the beginning, and they live to exist for the battlefield.
Therefore, after the battle, the cavalry of the island country was defeated and retreated, and there was still a trace of the elite of the island country.
Although the cavalry of the island nation is numerous, it is really fighting at this time. but the judgment is made.
As for the sergeants of the island nation who attacked the northern camp. Under the bombardment of the artillery of the North Battalion. Nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded. As for the rest of the people, even if they were unharmed, the courage in their hearts had been blown away.
A group of soldiers who don't have half the courage, no matter how elite they were before, can't break through the camp guarded by a group of old and weak. What's more, those soldiers in Beiying are also the elite of the Han Dynasty, and compared to the soldiers of the island country, not only are they not far behind. Even a little braver.
Of course, compared to the soldiers summoned by Oda Nobunaga, they are still a little worse. After all, as long as it is a person, it is impossible not to be affected by emotions, but the soldiers who are summoned will not.
Oda Nobunaga watched coldly as the cavalry blocking Zhang Liao was defeated and retreated, and the soldiers attacking the northern camp were repulsed again and again. However, Oda Nobunaga did not react at all, all this, in his opinion. It's like a normal phenomenon.
However, now it is in the upper hand. It's not an island sergeant.
Oda Nobunaga didn't show any dissatisfaction, but he still took action. Since the soldiers of the island country could not break through the northern camp, they would directly send the most elite group.
However, Oda Nobunaga did not put all the bets on it all at once. At the same time, in Oda Nobunaga's opinion, a thousand elite soldiers summoned were enough to break through the gate of the northern camp. Of course, at the same time, Oda Nobunaga also sent a team of 10,000 people again.
At this time, the artillery in the northern camp had already fallen into hoarseness because of the roar for too long. After all, although it is very cool to bombard the soldiers of the island country's army for a long time, those artillery will not be able to stand it after all. After overheating, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of exploding.
Without the help of artillery, it was obviously more difficult for the soldiers in the northern camp to repel the attack of the island army. Especially after the army of the island country sent more soldiers, the number of casualties among the soldiers in the northern camp suddenly increased dramatically.
Fortunately, the soldiers in the northern camp were on the defensive, and they could use some equipment or traps that had been prepared before. Therefore, despite the intensified offensive of the island army, the soldiers in the northern camp were still able to hold on.
And more than 20,000 soldiers is also the largest number that the island country can invest at one time, not that the army brought by Oda Nobunaga is not enough. But the scale of the North Camp is only so big after all, even if Oda Nobunaga sends someone up, then he can only wait obediently in the back, why bother?
The attack and defense of the North Camp seemed to be in a balance for a while. It's just that this seems to be a balance, but it consumes several lives every minute.
In contrast, the wolf rider led by Zhang Liao was much easier. Facing the elite cavalry of the 5,000 island countries, chopping melons and vegetables drove them away.
After Oda Nobunaga saw the incompetent performance of his soldiers, he almost didn't directly scold. On weekdays, these soldiers consume a lot of his resources, but when he goes to the battlefield, he is so virtuous.
In fact, it's no wonder that these island cavalry are too cowardly.
You must know that the Bingzhou wolf rider is one of the most elite light horses of the Han Dynasty. Even the white horse righteous servants led by Gongsun Chan may not be able to compete with the wolf riders of Bingzhou. Of course, the White Horse Yicong, who is now under the command of Zhao Yun, has this confidence.
Zhao Yun is not as good as before, although he has the title of the leader of the White Horse Righteous Servant, but he only handed the White Horse Righteous Servant into the hands of Zhao Yun when Gongsun Chan needed it.
Now, Gongsun Chan directly handed over Bai Ma Yicong to Zhao Yun, and he didn't even ask. All this was also earned by Zhao Yun through his own hard work, and at the same time, it was related to the fact that Gongsun Zhan did not have many henchmen.
Although Zhang Liao's martial arts are not as good as Zhao Yun, compared to training light cavalry and commanding cavalry to fight, it is not inferior to Zhao Yun.
Although Oda Nobunaga was very angry with the cavalry under his command, he still sent 10,000 foot soldiers to help those cavalry. After all, if Zhang Liao and the others really rushed to the middle of their ranks, the impact would be secondary, and the main impact would be the morale of the army.
It's just that, seeing that 10,000 foot soldiers were killed in the army of the island country, would Zhang Liao be afraid?
The answer, of course, is no, since Zhang Liao dared to set up an ambush on the plain against the island army, he should now lead three thousand wolf cavalry to attack the main position of the island army.
The 10,000 island army that rushed out was not a random patchwork, among these soldiers, there were 3,000 pikemen, 2,000 broadsword soldiers, and 5,000 archers. Against cavalry, it can be said that this is undoubtedly the best configuration. Of course, it would be even better if you added the previous shields.
However, for the sake of mobility, Oda Nobunaga still did not send a thousand heavy shield soldiers to drag him back.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao just waved the spear in his hand, and the flag officer beside him understood what Zhang Liao wanted to do. As a result, the battle flag flew in a burst, and the three thousand wolf riders suddenly turned into three strands and scattered.
Seeing the wolf riding apart, Oda Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, and then he was also slightly worried. But what can he worry about, he still needs to sit in the Chinese army, and there is no way to personally command those foot soldiers. Everything can only be seen by the captain.
However, how can a mere captain be Zhang Liao's opponent.
If he was like the soldiers in the northern camp, with the help of the previous preparations to fight a defensive battle, maybe the captain would be able to resist for a while. But how could the captain command a group of foot soldiers to defeat a group of bloodthirsty light horsemen in this field?
After the wolf cavalry dispersed, Zhang Liao personally led the middle one to rush towards the camp composed of 10,000 soldiers. However, before they could reach the range of the archers surrounded by pikemen, a thousand arrows flew from the wolf rider to the camp of the island army.
The camp of 10,000 troops is still a camp to guard against cavalry, and you can imagine how much damage those 1,000 arrows caused to those island soldiers.
By the time the archers of the island country counterattacked, Zhang Liao had already twisted the reins and led the wolf to run away.
Zhang Liao and the others had just run away, but the other wolf rider was concocted in the same way. And the archers of the island country had already shot the arrows on their bows at this time, and by the time they took their bows and shot again, the wolf riders had already run away.
After going back and forth a few times, the army of the island nation will no longer be fooled. It's just that at this time, the pikemen sent by the island country are already dead. Even the broadsword soldiers behind the pikemen also suffered a lot of casualties.
Before the confrontation, the arrows carried by the archers were consumed a lot, not to mention the loss of so many soldiers. All of a sudden, the morale of the army plummeted.
Zhang Liao will not give up the opportunity to strike because the enemy's morale has dropped sharply, but after Zhang Liao discovers this opportunity, he will change his formation again.
After seeing the order conveyed by the flag officer, the wolf rider quickly gathered around Zhang Liao. Then, the wolf rider turned into a conical array, and the wolf rider in front of the cone array took off an iron-covered shield from his horse, and Oda Nobunaga, who was watching it, was terrified.
The wolf rider behaved like this, Oda Nobunaga still didn't understand, and the 10,000 soldiers were all explained here. But fortunately, at least the 10,000 soldiers were involved in the footsteps of these wolf riders, giving them enough time to break through the northern camp. Although, at this time, Beiying was still under the control of the Han soldiers.
As for the cavalry of the island country that was sent to block the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao at the beginning, there were less than a thousand left at this time. Moreover, watching the wolf riders wantonly slaughter those who were insufficient, they didn't dare to come up, they only dared to watch from a distance, watching the wolf riders led by Zhang Liao teach them a good lesson.
