426 Xijiao made meritorious contributions
While the Duan army was singing and praying, the drums in the city gradually sounded, and then the door was wide open.
Under the banner of the word "plan" fluttering in the wind, Guozhao rushed out of the gate first, and behind him was a neatly arranged 3,000 vanguard army.
After leaving the city, the vanguard army of the Duan clan slowly approached the left side of the Duan army, and it was not until they entered the range of their bows and arrows that they finally established their footsteps.
At this time, the singing voice in Duan Ruqi's army, which was originally like a wail, also slowly subsided.
The drums in the city did not stop, and then the four hundred elephant soldiers commanded by the dynasty and the two thousand cavalry teams of the Chinese army went out of the city, and after the two thousand four hundred people left the city, they went to the left side of Duan Ruqi, and also stopped outside the range of the enemy's bow and arrow.
The drums sounded again, and slowly appeared outside the city gate were the 8,000 Xijiao foot soldiers.
Eighty percent of the 8,000 foot soldiers were armed with shields in one hand and short blades such as knives, swords, and battle axes in the other, and after leaving the city, they put on a defensive posture, and there were also more than 1,000 archers, hiding behind these more than 6,000 people.
Su You's banner appeared behind these 8,000 foot soldiers, and behind him was the artillery battalion.
With 300 artillery pieces, 600 wagons, 900 gunners, and 1,200 horses, their momentum was no worse than that of the 8,000 foot soldiers who went out of the city before them.
When the banner of Fu Guozhao appeared, Duan Ruqi talked about the fact that Su You was likely to be in charge of the Chinese army, but when he saw Su You's banner appear, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.
Over the years, every time I deal with Su You, when have I ever won?
What could slightly comfort Duan Ruqi's heart was that in Su You's army, he didn't see Dongjiao's banner, which made him feel that he could at least outnumber the other party.
It wasn't until the artillery battalion appeared that Duan Ruqi finally thought of the nightmare of the other day.
At this time, it is obvious that we should strike first and rush up to disperse the artillery team that has not yet formed a formation on Su You's side.
The problem is that the mounts and equipment of the vanguard battalion under the command of Zhao Guozhao can really blind his eyes, and there are elephant soldiers led by the dynasty who appeared on the battlefield for the first time.
If his 30,000-strong army attacked Su Youzhong's army with all his might, the two wings were likely to be killed by the Showa Dynasty.
The current formation, how does it feel like I've seen it before?
Duan Ruqi quickly thought of the scene when he retreated from the south gate of Funing City in the middle of the night six years ago, and immediately ordered loudly, "Put out a fish scale formation and go all out to kill the local army!" ”
The reason why he was in such a hurry to order the charge was also because Duan Ruqi was worried that Su You would order the cannon first, if this was the case, his side would only be beaten passively.
If the two sides handed over, Su You would obviously throw a rat trap, and then his secret weapon would be abolished.
Su You obviously thought of this, the camp of the artillery battalion would still be lined up, and he gave the order to launch an attack on the place.
Su You and Duan Ruqi's attack orders were issued almost at the same time, but unfortunately, the speed of the artillery was far greater than the running of the Dian horse.
The large array of fish scales composed of three people rolled towards Su You's Chinese army like a tide, with an indomitable momentum.
But the enemy's large array had just taken shape, and the first round of sixty shells on Su You's side had already flown out with the sound of "boom" firing.
After Duan Ruqi's soldiers had encountered Su You's baptism of artillery fire a few nights ago, they heard the sound of cannons again at this time, and one by two were suddenly frightened. Suddenly, the determination that many of the soldiers had filled their hearts with the prayer they had just prayed was gone.
At this time, most of the soldiers just want to leave the battlefield, the farther away the better.
Sadly, once the war machine is really in motion, the will of the individual is insignificant in it.
Most of Duan Ruqi's soldiers wanted to end this battle as soon as possible, but under the urging of the horn, they still rushed headlong towards Su You's Chinese army. The cavalry rushing forward was delighted to find that they had left the cannonballs in the sky behind, but the killing had just begun.
The explosion of the cannonball rang out, and it instantly blew away hundreds of foot soldiers in Duan's army, and the foot soldiers holding shields on Su You's side finally began to face Duan Ruqi's cavalry vanguard.
The advantage of the cavalry against the infantry was still obvious, under the pressure of dodging the shells, Duan Ruqi's cavalry vanguard quickly rushed into the infantry on Su You's side, followed by the fall of the infantry in rows
In an instant, the cavalry had rushed through the front three rows of shield-wielding soldiers in a crushing manner, and the counterattack of the soldiers began; At the same moment, the third round of fifty shells finally flew into the sky again.
After all, the horses under the vanguard of Duan Ruqi's side were not trained in the sound of artillery like the horses of the artillery battalion, and most of them stood up when the guns were fired, and they threw the knights on their horses one after another.
Many knights on Duan Ruqi's side were dragged by the stirrups, and it was much more pitiful to think about whether it was possible to leave the horses and fight.
And the Chinese army on Su You's side has nothing more to do than raise the blade in his hand to harvest the enemy's life.
When it comes to life and death, no one will be soft, unless he is impatient to live.
The first batch of Duan's vanguard troops who rushed close to the Soviet army suffered heavy casualties, but advancing was the only thing they could do, because behind them rushed wave after wave of comrades dodging the shells.
Under the enemy's sacrifice of life and death, the Chinese army on Su You's side has been crushed by the eighth platoon.
In the stalemate, the first 1,000 cavalry of the Duan clan also perished, and the number of Duan soldiers killed by archers and artillery also reached 5,000.
Su You couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Duan Ruju's soldiers charging down desperately, and there were Chinese infantry soldiers who couldn't support it, and immediately ordered the Showa Dynasty to start attacking.
Su You's order also means that the artillery battalion has really entered the stage of playing soy sauce; Although they still have shells, it is clearly not time for them to perform.
The team led by the Showa Dynasty of the Shoguo Dynasty had already been itching when they watched the Chinese army and the enemy's cavalry facing the enemy just now; But they also knew that as soon as they made a move, Su You's artillery battalion would be timid.
And now, they can finally make a difference.
He couldn't remember the last time he stood at the front of the line, but now, he stood up again.
Jian Guozhao took a deep breath and said loudly, "Children, let the envoy also see our combat effectiveness, our goal is Duan Ruqi's banner!" ”
There were all kinds of voices in the battlefield, and not all the soldiers he commanded could hear what he said, but they still followed the point of his spear and understood what it meant.
In the end, he finally roared, "This battle will be won!" ”
The shouts of the three thousand soldiers finally echoed him with their roars, "Victory!" Win! ”
"Forward!" He once again grabbed Duan Ruqi's banner, and then the three thousand well-equipped cavalry on tall horses finally began their first performance.
At the same time, the elephant soldiers led by the dynasty also officially went to the front line, but their purpose was to rescue the Chinese army.
The elephant ran, and the soldiers on the elephant rushed forward with black balls the size of their bowls, and when they fell into the enemy's ranks, there was a rumbling sound that had only stopped for a short time.
Four hundred elephants are like four hundred moving artillery, of course, the power of their hand/grenade is not comparable to that of cannonballs, but their mobility is incomparable to artillery.
It was just a cup of tea, and the Duan Ruqi cavalry that rushed to the Chinese army on Su You's side had been torn open a big mouth of hundreds of feet.
Duan Ruqi's army obviously had no way to deal with this armored behemoth like an elephant; As for the soldiers on the elephants, although they had no armor on them, the whole person was hidden behind a large shield.
Mixed with the elephant was the 2,000 cavalry arranged by Su You, these cavalry could not bend their bows and arrows on their horses like the Lincang cavalry, but they could attack with crossbows. In the face of a mixed class of elephant soldiers and cavalry with long-range attacks at close range, Duan's vanguard army could only cry for his father and mother in addition to being passively beaten.
The Fish Scale Array, in front of the modern weapon hand/mine, is like a piece of paper pasting a window.
Break in one bucket.
The mixing of dynasties was wrong, not only disintegrating the formation of the Duan army, but also destroying the speed of their cavalry charge.
The so-called elimination of one and the other, Su You's Chinese army was suppressed for a while, and after ushering in a helping hand, he finally began to slowly move forward with a big shield.
Under the pressure of Su You's Chinese army and the dynasty's reinforcements, the formation of the Duan army's army has tilted towards Su You's right hand, and they have no backhand ability except for a slight parry.
It was only a matter of time before Su You's side defeated Duan's side, unless a miracle occurred.
In the next second, a miracle really appeared, but this miracle was only the last straw that forced Duan Ruqi's army to rout.
"Duan Ruqi is dead! Acquaintances put down their weapons and surrender quickly! Duan Ruqi's Chinese army suddenly burst out with a shout, which was first shouted by Jian Guozhao.
In order to vent his excitement, Jian Guozhao even shouted in his throat, and then it was his soldiers who made this shout resound in the sky and fill the entire battlefield.
Duan Ruqi's Chinese army also felt the threat of death again and again in several rampages of Jian Guozhao, until they watched Duan Ruqi's escort camp be scattered, until they saw Duan Ruqi's royal flag being trampled
At this time, they could only fall to their knees and wept bitterly.
When the voice of Fu Guozhao spread throughout the battlefield, the soldiers of the Duan clan, who were already on the verge of despair, turned their heads one after another, and looked at the rear from a distance, prostrate on the ground, mourning all over the field.
The rear is that the soldiers have all surrendered, and what is the insistence of the front?
The defeat was like a mountain, and the surrendered soldiers also threw down their weapons and fell to their knees as if they were infected with influenza.
"Is Duan Ruqi really dead? Hope. Su You muttered to himself, and immediately made a gesture to stop the attack.
The next thing to do is to clean up the battlefield.
