The 52nd 8,000 Sword Halberd Company Battalion (3)

Although such scattered attacks were not strong enough to break a well-defended infantry formation in the first assault, they were able to threaten the enemy's line from multiple directions, making it easy to detect where the enemy's line was weak.

At this time, Wang Deng felt that his front was full of weak links. In order to cover the Tulong Army, which accompanied the car formation, the line of the Zhenwu Army had to be stretched very long. Each spearman was at least three or four feet away from his companions, and the loose flanks were nothing more than paper tigers, which could not frighten the battle-hardened Mongol cavalry, and even more so the opposing commanders.

As soon as the enemy's heavy cavalry brigade was activated, the Zhenwu army arrays on both flanks hurriedly moved closer to each other, returning to the mode of spears.

Behind them, the spear array of the Earth Dragon Army was already able to refill it, covering the exposed flanks. The infantry formation on the front line protruded slightly outward in a half-moon shape, and the crossbowmen and firearms of the Earth Dragon Army pressed down on their feet, waiting for the onslaught of the enemy cavalry with full attention.

The firearms and archers of the Zhenwu Army rushed forward and re-launched the three-fold formation, but this time it was too late to set up a rejection horse in front of the formation. They must use their flesh and blood to block one or more assaults of the enemy cavalry, buying time for the formation of vehicles behind them. The enemy army was the first to enter the firing range of about a few dozen cavalry, and Wang Deng estimated the distance between the two armies, and these vanguard squads were just bait used to lure the Song people into consuming bows and arrows. They were completely ineffective against the Zhenwu Army, whose principle was to prefer the enemy to rush a few steps closer than to let the full power of bows and arrows and firearms be unleashed.

The Naiban cavalry was getting closer and closer, and soon approached the range of the three-fold array. Zhu Sheng gave an order, and the archers began to shoot arrows at the enemy troops coming from the clash in front, and the first round of shooting was followed by the second round, and the third round of shooting. Five rounds of firing were completed before the enemy approached, and after the smoke-smelling musketeers were withdrawn from the front, only three rows of spearmen and the final collision of the enemy cavalry remained.

The same ending was played out again, if there was any difference from the first shock spear formation, it was that the spearmen of the Zhenwu Army were more energetic this time after a tense first battle. And the Naiban cavalry no longer blindly rushed, but used the horse pistol in his hand to open the dense spear and then assassinated, but no matter how the victory or defeat is obvious, the Song people's spears will definitely have an advantage in length over the horse spears used on horses, and as long as the standing Song army does not collapse, it will always be an insurmountable wall in front of the impact cavalry.

Three consecutive charges of the whole team, the barbarian cavalry found nothing, which was the result of speculation, and all he needed was to use the rotation of the charge to reduce the strength of the spearmen. As for where the limit of the Zhenwu Army is, Copying knows it clearly.

As long as they survive seven rounds, they will have a chance to defeat the infantry of the Zhenwu Army in one blow at any time!

But at this time, he was now Zhenwu's army and began to retreat in an orderly and gradual manner. It is to be in the fifty-second round of the 8,000 sword halberd battalion (3)

Do you want to return to the city to repair before you run out? No, it was only at this time that the Song people had already established a large-scale chariot formation behind the infantry.

At this time, the Song people's vehicle formation is the protective formation that is really applied in the field. Hundreds of partial vans were photographed into a circular line of defense according to the pattern of the city. Each of the two side vans was connected by a rejecting horse, and the antlers and rejecting horses were placed outside the partial van, and the perimeter was sprinkled with thistles, and a lookout with a wooden pole was erected in the car formation, and it was ready to meet the enemy's attack.

This kind of chariot formation is completely different from those chariot formations formed by large carts in a hasty chain of vehicles encountered by Copyi in Hebei and Shandong, even from a distance, he can see the hole in the wall panel on the outward side of the side of the van, which is a cannon hole for the release of large firearms, such a well-guarded chariot fortress is definitely more difficult to overcome than the spear formation formed by the infantry.

But fortunately, these behemoths will not take the initiative to attack his cavalry. As long as they stayed out of the reach of the generals of the guns and bamboos, the chariot formation did not cause the slightest damage to the Mongol army. He just watched the foot soldiers of the Zhenwu Army retreat into the chariot formation in an orderly manner. Once they were all retracted into the chariot formation, the Nabarian cavalry was helpless against them.

Wu Qian stood on the city wall and witnessed the progress of the war, and he said to Zhao Kui: "The tactics of the deputy commander are too negative, how can our army take the initiative to attack but can't come out of the chariot defense line by itself?" Is he going to stay in the car all day? ”

Zhao Zhizhi obviously didn't pay much attention to the question of the first staff member in Xiangyang City, and only replied after a while: "This is definitely not the case, the Mongols should attack the chariot formation immediately." ”

"But the Mongols took the initiative to attack the chariot formation, which was to fight short and long," Wu Qian said: "Even a scholar of Wu can see that this deal is not cost-effective." ”

Zhao Kui said: "Don't you see Zheng Yunming's intention to make a big move? Pay attention to where he lays out the formation! ”

Wu Qian raised his eyes and looked, two miles away from the city gate, Zheng Yunming's six giant car formations stretched all the way south along the city wall, after leaving the city, the Zhenwu army's formation deviated from the city gate for more than a mile, and when the car formation was deployed, the entire formation was spread all the way along the southwest. It was not so much to approach the Mongol base camp to the west as to the Mongol trebuchet position in the southwest corner.

Wu Qian is a smart person, and without waiting for the envoy to continue to explain, he has already seen Zheng Yunming's true intentions. His aim was not to storm the Mongol camp, but to clear the enemy's perimeter of catapults and obstacles. Although destroying the enemy's vital force is the only way to break the siege of the city, the number of cavalry in Xiangyang City is limited, and the training is not well-trained, and the forward pressure of the infantry brigade alone will not only not help to annihilate the more than 10,000 cavalry outside the city, but will quickly wear down the morale and consume the body under the repeated impact of the enemy cavalry, and finally can only collapse under the repeated and patient gallop of the rangers. You must know that the most disciplined and well-organized Zhenwu army in Xiangyang City can only fight eleven rounds in front of the Mongols and the fifty-second round of the 8,000 sword halberd battalion (3)

Nothing more.

Therefore, the purpose of the Song people's attack was actually to outline the trenches, low walls, small fortresses and fences used to block their movements, and to destroy the Mongol trebuchets. The real protagonist of this battle is Wan Wensheng, the commander of Jing and Hubei, not Zheng Yunming, the most powerful. Zheng Yunming's elite troops were nothing more than a decoy to contain the main force of the enemy army at Ximen.

But for the trebuchet troops in the south and southwest of the city, Zheng Yunming's chariot formation also completely cut off their connection with the camp in the west. When the bulky trebuchet faced the Wanwen Sheng's army that frantically fought out from the south gate, it could only retreat to the mountains of Nanshan in a hurry. This is undoubtedly a dead end.

Wan Wensheng's team quickly dispersed the attack of more than 1,000 horsemen at the south gate, safely spread out the formation in front of the enemy, and used the infantry crossbowmen to suppress the enemy's archers with desperate shots, trying to drive them far away.

The only way to save the fate of the trebuchet force was to tear through Zheng Yunming's cart defense line from the front and break a way for the cavalry to reinforce the south. Of course, the Mongols had another option, which was to risk bypassing the cart line or rushing in front of the two carts. However, there have been three rejection horses between the car formation, sprinkled with thistle terrestris, the Song army has the support of the car formation, and the fortifications are more relaxed, and if they take a detour, they can only climb over the hillside on foot, and they will also be shot by the Song people in the car formation with strong bows and firearms. Rather than this, it is better to have a strong duel between the front and the car.

Gluing Chongshan couldn't stop urging and thinking: "Attack quickly!" The stone-throwing mechanism in the south of the city is not easy, if it is destroyed by the Song people, I don't know how long the siege will be delayed! ”

Copying Si was silent, his eyes were full of disdain, who didn't know that the purpose of the Song people was to exchange victory for time, as long as they kept delaying the process of the Mongol attack, when the heat of the early summer heat rose, they would only retreat. And if you want to capture Xiangyang, the trebuchet in the south of the city can't be destroyed by the Song soldiers like this. They must save the trebuchet troops south of the city, or at the very least, if they can't keep the heavy trebuchets, and rescue these valuable craftsmen and gunners. Without Craftsmen and Artillerymen, the siege will almost come to a standstill. But how to attack and defend such a tight car formation, how can it be decided in a hurry?

If the Jurchen troops were there, he could drive these Jurchen soldiers to take the lead and rush through the Song army's large array in foot combat, or the Han army could also use their forces to carry out hand-to-hand combat and strangulation. However, the Han army followed the king of Tath to the south, and they were responsible for clearing the cities and fortifications in the south. And the commander-in-chief who commanded the siege of the city was the marshal of the bond, and it was impossible to expect the Jurchen soldiers to take the fire for him.

He gritted his teeth, and it seemed that the only way to do it was to use his countrymen for a brutal infantry assault. If the people of the grassland headquarters were used to carry out such a dangerous mission, even if they were lucky enough to win, they would be able to carry out the 52nd 8,000 sword halberd battalion (3)

You may be punished in front of Qu De. Because the population of the steppe is too small, and the land they occupy is too vast. So much so that the life of a steppe warrior cannot be wasted. But if the Song people were allowed to wipe out the catapults and artillerymen, he might face more than just reducing the number of households or the punishment of the cane. As a conquered tribe, the Nabarians were better off than the Han and Jurchen Khitans, but they also needed to live a cautious life. They could not afford the punishment of defeat.

Copying Si waved his arms vigorously and shouted at the herald in front of him: "All the armies dismount and form a marching formation!" ”
