Chapter 620: Hexi (11)

"Straight motherfucker, these miscellaneous people have finally come out!" Han Shizhong, whose breathing was gradually becoming shorter unconsciously, narrowed his eyes slightly. ( .. There was an inexplicable hint of nervousness, joy and ...... in his eyes Not to feel like Atlas any longer?

Han Shizhong joined the army at the age of eighteen, and was always on the front line against Western Xia before the southern expedition to Fangla. Of course, these elite troops of the Tangut people are familiar, and they can't be more familiar. At that time, although the overall strength of the Western Army was stronger than that of these Tanguts, it was not comparable to the elite troops alone.

The reason is simple, the Tangut people occupied the horse-producing area of Hexi, and they had a large number of excellent war horses to use. Therefore, it is possible to assemble a large number of elite cavalry units. And because of the lack of horses in the Western Army, no matter how good and brave the sergeants are, they are helpless. After all, this era is the era when cavalry reigns.

Han Shizhong has been at war with the Western Xia for many years, and naturally countless relatives and friends of Pao Ze died at the hands of the Western Xia people. Many of his fellow villagers, who had a fateful friendship, did not know how many fell under the sword of the Western Xia cavalry.

In the past, Han Shizhong also looked at those homes with white flags hanging on the doors of their homes. I secretly swore in my heart that one day I must let those summer dogs pay for their blood debts! And among them, those iron harriers and the captivators are the biggest black hands! is also the person Han Shizhong hates the most!

In the past, Han Shizhong had nothing to do with those Western Xia cavalrymen who came and went like the wind. And at this moment, the strong Changsheng army gave him great confidence. Now it's finally time for revenge! Blood debts can only be paid with blood!

As I have said before, Western Xia is a small country, and the country is small and poor. They simply can't afford to equip large armies with metal armor that was so important in the age of cold weapons. Only resources can be concentrated to prioritize the supply of those elite troops. And among them, the most priority is naturally those iron harriers.

This heavy armored cavalry force, which has a total of only 3,000 people, is completely terrifying! Chain up several heavy cavalry to charge forward as unstoppable as a heavy tank! If you want to fight them, you must pay a great price.

And Han Shizhong is ready. can be as famous as Yue Fei in the history books, and is known as the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. He, Han Shizhong, is definitely not an ordinary character. At this moment, the Tanguts have already released the winning hand. But there was no movement at all from Yue Fei in this formation. Han Shizhong immediately understood Yue Fei's thoughts.

"It is worthy of being the person chosen by the prince, and I may not be able to do this courage and responsibility!" Han Shizhong said with emotion.

The number of 10,000 iron horsemen in the Western Xia broke through the formation, and the majesty was noisy. In other words, the first thing that any commander thinks of must be to use all means to block the enemy's vast offensive. That powerful cavalry unit should naturally be sent out at this time.

However, to do so would plunge the two sides into a massive war of attrition. It's all about the number and strength of the competition. In the end, the winning side will also pay a big price. Moreover, because the enemy army still theoretically retains basic organizational skills, it will be difficult to annihilate the enemy's living forces on a large scale, even if they win. To put it simply, it is easy for the enemy's elite troops to escape.

This brings us to another option. That is to let those Western Xia iron cavalry go to assault the strong infantry phalanx. Use the infantry phalanx to drain the cavalry charge while entangling the attacking troops.

After the assault cavalry lost its sharpness and was entangled by the infantry, the turning point on the battlefield came. At that time, you will release your own winning hand. More than 10,000 fierce cavalry carried the majesty of the sky and rushed straight to the trapped cavalry, and defeated them in one fell swoop!

As long as the cavalry forces of the Tanguts could be defeated, the war would essentially be over. The Western Xia army, which had lost its ability to maneuver, was left with the fate of being slaughtered at will by the powerful Changsheng army. And not far behind them is the Wuding River! Li Qianshun, who originally wanted to play a ruined boat, pushed himself into a desperate situation this time.

The premise of all this is that the hoplites in the middle can successfully resist the powerful assault of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry! If they don't stop it, the form will be reversed in an instant! Once the middle formation is strongly broken through, it is impossible to stop the crazy assault of hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops by relying only on more than 10,000 cavalry!

"General!" The guards on the side shouted loudly to Han Shizhong, who was in a slight daze, "The marshal ordered that all the central formations be commanded by the generals, and they must resist the surprise attack of the Western Xia people!" ”

"Good!" Han Shizhong is not a person without responsibility. Immediately, he slapped his leg on the face, and the metal gloves and armor made a dull thud. Laughed and said, "I also have a time when I command thousands of troops!" Hahaha! Come on! ”

Tens of thousands of heavy infantry of the five legions began to fine-tune under Han Shizhong's command. Taking advantage of the fact that the offensive in front of the Tangut people is gradually disappearing, the offensive behind is not yet a good time. The phalanxes are getting closer and closer. The sergeants who had fought for a long time in the front row retired after retiring, and the new recruits in the rear stepped forward to form a tight phalanx. The army is on standby!

Perhaps the Tangut people would feel that the assault of tens of thousands of cavalry would seem immense, but in fact it was not a big deal for these veterans of the victorious army. Fought so many tragic battles with the Jurchens, talking about the elite cavalry. The Jurchens were much stronger than these Tanguts.

Flag hunting, horses' hooves flying. Three thousand Iron Harriers took the lead, followed by thirty thousand captives. Behind them is the Proton Army of thousands of people. Such a huge and boundless cavalry force rushed straight and straight towards the Great Wall of Steel!

The Iron Harriers don't have too advanced tactics. They actually tend to use the scale formation when fighting. That is, three or five groups of random fights. It's just that they all use iron chains to connect several cavalry together, forming a huge moving steel fortress. Naturally, it looks extremely tough when it comes to assault.

For so many years. But whenever the Iron Harriers went into battle, the Tanguts never lost! In fact, except for the battle with the Mongols in the future, the Iron Harrier did not lose the battle. Each Iron Harrier was the strongest Western Xia soldier, and they were extremely confident. The morale is high, and he is not afraid of death!

It's just that today they encountered a victorious army that shouldn't exist in this plane. This is a powerful army built using the power of technology thousands of years later!

During the training camp, the recruits of the Changsheng Army would have an hour of study time after dinner every day. It is not only to teach the recruits to read and write, but more importantly, to instill the idea of brave combat in the sergeants. Gao Yang didn't mean to engage in any xxxx propaganda. Without actual benefits, who will really work for you? Gao Yang doesn't do that. He focused his efforts on training the morale and courage of the sergeants.

"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door, get promoted and get rich and go home to study." This is the slogan that the Changsheng Army played when it was recruited. A sergeant who dares to fight to the death can be regarded as a real soldier. And this is to be done, in addition to the daily training publicity. What's more, when you are on the battlefield, most of the people around you dare to fight to the death!

People have a herd mentality. When tens of thousands of enemy cavalry gallop towards you like a whistling tide, there are few people who are not really afraid at all. The one in front will definitely die! This is something that is completely confirmed.

At this time, if someone turns around and runs away, it will inevitably cause irreparable losses to the entire formation. Because there is only one life, no one wants to die.

The Victorious Army has done a very good job. Most of these regular soldiers are veterans who have experienced the brutal baptism of war. Even if they are afraid of death, they will never run for their lives. Because they know that running away or not is a dead end. But if you die in battle, you will be a hero, and your family will be properly taken care of. But if you run away, even if you really escape from the battlefield, it will be the fate of the marching law, and if you die, your family will be affected!

After most people choose to deal with it strongly, those who are uneasy in their hearts can only grit their teeth and persevere. At the same time, I prayed in my heart that God would bless me to live. Although there is very little hope.

Rulin's spear pointed diagonally forward, discharging a series of deadly gunshots. The sergeants in the front row were half-kneeling on the ground, holding their heavy shields with their broad shoulders. A spear, a shield. Each sergeant had fear and determination on his face. His eyes were full of despair and death.

"Oh~~~" The crossbowmen of the victorious army released the crossbow arrows in their hands. With the sound of a whistling sound breaking through the sky, a large area of deadly dark clouds rose from the rear of the steel phalanx!

The Iron Harrier is heavily armoured, and in the past he didn't care about ordinary soft bow shooting. But this time they encountered the Divine Arm Crossbow, a Divine Arm Crossbow that has been improved by modern technology!

Sharp crossbow arrows carrying powerful kinetic energy slashed through the sky and stabbed heavily into the bodies of the Iron Harriers! The shovel-shaped steel arrow tore apart the armor in an instant, and it burrowed into a living body!

A single salvo will knock at least hundreds of Iron Harriers to the ground! You must know that the total number of iron harriers who have been supported by the whole country of Western Xia is only 3,000!

The cavalry that rushed up was so fast that the crossbowmen of the victorious army could only send a rain of arrows. While the crossbowmen were still loading their arrows, the Iron Harriers rushed into the phalanx of the hoplites!

The spears were broken, the shields were crushed, and the brave sergeants were trampled into pulp by the flying hooves of the horses. The fearless knights were pierced through the body by spears, the blindfolded horses were shattered to the bones by steel shields, and the cavalry connected by chains finally lost their powerful impact after breaking through several great walls of steel!

Three thousand heavily armored cavalry poured into the formation of the victorious army like a tidal wave. In an instant, the queue of seven or eight platoons in front was destroyed, and the first half of the victorious army formation was mixed up. But that's the end of their impact. Blocked by rows and rows of shields and spears, he had to stop. (To be continued.) )
