Chapter 582: The Fall of the Famous General (Medium)

The cavalry confronted the cavalry, and it was a very tragic battle. Because everybody has speed, and all have organic power. Win or lose, it's hard to retreat.

At such times, it depends on who has a firmer will to fight, better training, better equipment, and better tactics. The Central Plains Dynasty, which was far more organized and disciplined than the nomads, as long as it could raise a strong cavalry, it would inevitably be the result of sweeping everything.

At this moment, on this battlefield, the victorious army with nearly 15,000 cavalry and the Mongol cavalry with more than 30,000 men were such an asymmetrical confrontation.

It is not unfounded to say that there is no suspense about victory. Except for the number of people, the two sides had the upper hand in every aspect, or the absolute upper hand. Gao Yang and Wanyan Zonghan can see this.

And the reason why Wanyan Zonghan chose to launch an attack in a desperate way was in addition to the despair of the entire battle situation and his own situation. Another important point is that his body is dying.

What is his physical condition, Wanyan Zonghan himself knows best. He knew he didn't have much to last. This time the losses were heavy, and even if he was able to get rid of his responsibilities after he returned, there was almost no hope of leading the troops to fight again. And he can't wait any longer.

Wanyan Zonghan is a military general, and he is also a Jurchen general. Jurchen men who live in the mountains and old forests all year round rarely die of illness in hospital beds. What's more, it is such a famous general as Wanyan Zonghan.

Seriously, Wanyan Zonghan can be said to have put aside everything this time and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his final battle. As a general, he deserves to die in battle. The horse leather shroud is the final return of the famous general.

"Fight!" The pale Wanyan Zonghan covered his chest vigorously, and after relieving his breath for a while, he calmly gave the final order to fight. This will most likely be his final battle.

Thousands of elderly Mongol cavalrymen in the front team began to move their horses away from the battle formation and charge towards the victorious army opposite. They were followed by young, able-bodied herders.

This is also a characteristic of the steppe peoples. Because of the lack of supplies, the best things are usually reserved for young people and children. They are the present and the future. And the old people who are gradually losing their role. In the end, many of them are cannon fodder at this moment. For consumption. This is a very incredible thing in the eyes of the Central Plains people, but it is just an extremely normal thing for these nomads.

These tens of thousands of cavalry were not crowded together, and rushed over in a daze. It would be a great waste to do that.

They were divided into different phalanxes. Each phalanx was composed of thousands of cavalry, one by one, who were put into the battlefield. In this way, the depth of the thick front can resist the almost invincible terrifying impact of the victorious army.

Wanyan Zonghan stayed at the rear with thousands of Jurchen cavalry. This is the reserve in his hands, and it is also the overseer.

The will of the Mongol cavalry to fight was simply terrible. Wanyan Zonghan must use bloody killings to deter them. He himself has no time, how can he still be soft on these people? Who is a person who has been playing with his life on the battlefield all year round, and who will be a kind-hearted person?

As a commander-in-chief. Indifference in heart, disregard for life, and unscrupulous means for victory can be considered qualified!

"Interesting." Gao Yang put down the binoculars in his hand, chuckled and said, "Sure enough, it's a famous general." This brings the power of the hand to the extreme. Layer by layer came like a wave. If I choose to hedge against him, if I want to completely penetrate so many layers of battle formations, the loss will definitely not be small. Wanyan Zonghan probably meant that he wanted me and those Mongolian cavalrymen to consume human lives. Looks like he wasn't going to win. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Dian replied and asked aloud, "Then how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Gao Yang lowered his head slightly, stretched out his hand and stroked the mane on the neck of the war horse. No expression could be seen on the hideous visor, and he whispered, "What else can I do?" It's hard to hit. There is no one-size-fits-all tactic at this time. The only way is to punch through his strongest place with his own fists! ”

"The strongest place?" Origin wondered.

Gao Yang raised his head and looked at the huge cavalry cluster rushing like dark clouds in the distance. The two black holes in the visor shone with a cold, fanatical light. said in a cold voice: "Wanyan Zonghan's tactic is to use the wide depth to weaken my impact. I finally had to stop and be surrounded again. After that, it will be entangled in hand-to-hand combat. What he meant was to trade my life with the Mongols, who were numerous. I have to say that this is indeed the best method he can choose. ”

Extend your arms to your side. Holding the handle of the war knife, with a sharp unsheathed sound, he slowly pulled out the sharp and snowy war knife.

"Then I'll concentrate my strength and penetrate all his depths! Didn't he himself stay at the rear? The whole army was closer. Pull out the arrow formation, pierce them like a sharp sword, and smash the Yellow Dragon! We have only one goal, and that is to finish Yan Zonghan! Those Mongols. Just ignore them. Gao Yang loudly gave orders to the surrounding generals. The surrounding generals bowed in response, and instigated their horses to return to their respective camps.

Gao Yang's chosen tactic was simple, using the most powerful heavy cavalry as arrows. The hussars followed. Discharge a formation that is almost long arrows, and use strong destruction to penetrate all of Yan Zonghan's wave tactics.

After penetrating that layer of Mongolian cavalry, he directly confronted Yan Zonghan himself! This is also Gao Yang's ultimate goal, to kill the enemy general! Once Yan Zonghan was killed, the Mongol cavalry, who had no combat effectiveness, would inevitably flee in all directions.

And without Wanyan Zonghan, the last hope for the Jurchens, then the Jin army will no longer have the strength to threaten the Changsheng army. The threat here is not the outcome of the war. It's about minimizing your own losses as much as possible.

The Changsheng Army, which has advanced communication equipment, is easy to contact, and it is very quick to issue military orders and change formations. The trumpet sounded, and the thousands of heavily armored cavalry who took the lead slowly rushed out of the queue, pulling out seven or eight battle formations of more than 100 people to meet the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side.

They were followed by Gao Yang and his guards. Behind Gao Yang were more than 3,000 heavily armored cavalry. Behind them were the tens of thousands of light cavalry.

The more than 10,000 cavalrymen lined up in a long line of arrows, began to gradually accelerate, and went straight to the opposite Jin army. As for the foot soldiers and crossbowmen further behind, there was basically nothing to do with them in this battle.

After the war horse galloped, the wind whistled in his ears. The sound of the horse's hooves, which was heavy and dense, like thunder, pierced the ear drums. As far as the eye can see, all around are steel cavalry reflecting a metallic sheen. Being in it, you can quickly fall into a state of blood boiling!

The whole battlefield was in an instant with hustle and bustle. Two huge torrents kicked up a cloud of dust and began to hedge towards each other at high speed.

Because he was at the back, Wanyan Zonghan didn't know how Chang Shengjun would respond to his attack. In fact, even if he knew it now, there was nothing he could do. The charge has begun, and the army has set out. At this time, even the chief general could not adjust the combat method in a short time. You know, that's tens of thousands of troops!

Even in modern time and space, if an army of this size wants to give an order to change the original battle plan in time, it will not be possible to complete it in a short time.

The two sides first warmed up their horses at a slow trot, and when the distance was within a thousand paces, they began to speed up almost simultaneously. As the speed gradually increased, the two sides also entered the final state before the engagement.

A must-have routine before engagement. Both sides released their bows and arrows almost simultaneously. After that, he picked up his weapon, raised the speed of the war horse to the highest, and greeted the fierce collision forged with life!

As in the previous battles, after the engagement, the cavalry who collided with each other instantly shattered their bones and flesh open. The end of the cavalry that rolled over and fell to the ground was tragic. So many horses' hooves were enough to trample them into a pulp.

The war horses staggered by, and the weapons in their hands flew wantonly, harvesting fresh lives. People shouted and neighed, weapons clashed, blood was shot, and corpses were everywhere! The entire battlefield was boiling in an instant. It's life and blood that is tormented here!

The two sides are not proportional in every way, except for the number of people. The Mongol cavalry were more open in formation, because they were not highly trained and could not maintain a relatively dense formation when charging at high speeds.

On the other hand, the victorious army has always maintained a relatively complete formation, and the sergeants are relatively close to each other. In this way, you can effectively support your robe. Protect your flanks and behind you to greatly increase your chances of survival.

And those who did not understand this tactic at all, and the stupid Mongolian cavalry scattered more widely. It was clear that they had the advantage in numbers, but in the local area of the engagement, there was no one to support the individual cavalry. encountered the victorious army that skillfully used tactical maneuvers and fought alternately, and suffered heavy losses.

Well-trained, well-coordinated, and well-equipped Chang Sheng's army swept away the weak Mongol cavalry after the engagement. A clean area was cleared around the massive arrow.

This is Wanyan Zonghan's helplessness. These Mongol cavalry under his command really can't do anything. Because he had no training, he could only put on this kind of loose formation that he used to deal with infantry. But after encountering the elite ever-victorious army, it has been penetrated in an instant!

Layer after layer of Mongol cavalry formations were penetrated. In the place where the army of the victorious army passed, there were corpses all over the ground. The terrified Mongol cavalry staggered by, and most of them chose to use bows and arrows against the victorious army. There are not many who really dare to step forward to block it.

Originally, this tactic was not wrong. However, they were met by a well-armed and victorious army!

How could it be possible for their floppy bows and arrows to shoot through the victorious army whose horses were clad in armor?

The sergeants of the victorious army ignored the bows and arrows that could not fly and charged forward with determination.

Suddenly, the front row of the victorious sergeants suddenly opened their eyes. In front, a huge black flag stands in the middle not far away. That's Wanyan Zonghan's home formation! (To be continued.) )
