Chapter 581: The Fall of the Famous General (I)
Looking from the front, the eyes and faces of almost all the sergeants of the victorious army were very calm. A few people who looked abnormal were just a little too excited in their hearts.
This is the quality of veterans who have experienced the brutal baptism of war. They are brave and fearless, not afraid of life and death! No matter what the current battle situation is, they can exert their combat power to the greatest extent. Definitely won't break down easily. This is the quality of a strong army.
It is not too difficult to have such an army. Well-equipped, rigorously trained, and high morale. And there is a constant victory!
The army is a monster, a terrifying monster that needs to be fed with victory and glory!
At this time, the morale of the victorious army was extremely high because of the successive victories, and it was not afraid of the enemy at all. Even if their numbers are inferior, in their hearts, it is just a matter of wielding a few more weapons per person.
Countless pairs of huge horses' hooves beat the ground and trampled the grass. The dull thunderous sound shook the depths of everyone's hearts at the same time.
There was no noise in the huge steel phalanx, only the clanging of heavy armor and the sound of heavy wheezing. Everyone's eyes were extremely determined, and when they were about to embark on the battlefield of life and death, they only had the figure of the enemy in their eyes!
......
"Is it going to end this time?" Wanyan Zonghan stared at the steel army that was slowly moving forward on the opposite side. His eyes fluctuated, and there was a strong sense of helplessness in his eyes.
As a battle-hardened commander, how vicious is Wanyan Zonghan's gaze on the battlefield? Just feeling the terrifying momentum that soared into the sky on the other side was enough to make him despair.
At this moment, it is no longer the invincible army under his command in the past, but a rabble of cowards and fools!
If the Left Route Army under his command is still there, there will be a big battle today! It's a pity, it's a pity. The invincible army that destroyed Liao and attacked the Song Dynasty and swept the world has long been wiped out, and there is not even a trace of scum left!
Now for this kind of moment. Wanyan Zonghan didn't know what else he could do. Perhaps the only thing he can do is to do his best to die with the victorious army. It can be regarded as his last contribution to the Jurchen clan.
"That's it." Wanyan Zonghan raised his head slightly and looked at the clear blue sky. Take a deep breath. He whispered, "That's all I can do." ”
Indeed, for Wanyan Zonghan. He couldn't do anything else now. The only thing I can do is to fight for my own life!
Tens of thousands of troops lined up in a huge formation and slowly approached, this scale was very large, covering a very large area. It is simply impossible to see behind.
Both sides stopped almost simultaneously at a distance of more than two thousand paces. Large dark clouds drifted in the sky, slowly obscuring the afternoon sun.
The wind gradually blew, and the grass danced in the open space between the two armies, and the banners were hunting. There was a hint of freshness in the air.
Before the battle began, there was an eerie silence on the battlefield. Only the restless horses snorted from time to time, occasionally shaking their huge hooves.
"Huh~~~" Gao Yang looked at the army opposite indifferently. Take a long sigh of relief. Along the way, many Jurchen celebrities have been picked off one after another. The two Jurchen armies that swept the world were also wiped out by him. At this moment, the only opponent who can really be called is the Wanyan Zonghan King opposite.
"Won today." Gao Yang stretched out his hand and patted the war horse under his crotch, turned his head sideways and smiled at Chen Fangliang on the side, and said, "After going back and resting, the army will attack and fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens!" ”
"What the prince said is extremely true!" Chen Fangliang, who was wearing heavy armor, bowed slightly and said in response.
Gao Yang smiled and waved him to do his own thing.
"Fight well. You have to win. Looking at the back of Chen Fangliang riding away on his horse, Gao Yang raised his head with a somewhat gloomy expression and said softly, "I have been fighting non-stop during this time. It seems that it hasn't stopped much since I came here. I'm still a little tired. Saw too much dead and blood. My heart is a little numb. ”
"Why are you so emotional? It's not like your style. Yuan asked in a puzzled voice.
"Style?" Gao Yang laughed silently, "What style am I?" I don't even know it myself. Listening to your tone, is it my style to kill people while talking and laughing, and still not change my face? ”
"Isn't it normal to be a commander in chief of an army to destroy the enemy? Doesn't you think you want to go to war anymore? He asked softly.
"I don't want to fight, I'm a little tired." Gao Yang nodded, and re-cast his gaze on the Jin Army formation in the distance. Whispered, "It's time to end it." After defeating the Jurchens, there was nothing left in the land that could threaten the nation. Leave it to them to do the rest of the work. I need a vacation. ”
"You don't want energy points anymore?" Yuan asked with some confusion.
Gao Yang waved his hand and lowered his eyelids slightly. Whispered, "It's not a conflict. Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't go to war myself? Now the scale of operations is getting bigger and bigger, and individual martial arts are not of much use. I didn't have to go to the battlefield myself. Later wars. It's a matter of training and logistics. It's good for me to stay in Bianliang City and control the situation. ”
"Forget it." Yuan Dian: "You can do whatever you want." It feels like you're starting to get a little weird when you get married. I'm starting to feel sentimental. It's not as vigorous and resolute as before, and it's a bit forward-looking. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Gao Yang laughed and said, "I'm still me." When did you get sentimental? I just don't want to go into battle in person. What's in it? It's the same without me on the battlefield now. ”
"What about the modern plane?" Yuan asked aloud, "I can't see anything for a while, but you can feel it, right?" How do you say it, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings? When the time comes, what will you do if someone really wants to attack you? ”
"We're not talking about the same thing at all." Gao Yang stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I didn't say I could tolerate this." Whoever dares to have an idea for me, without their hands, as long as I know, I will definitely strike first. It's not the same as when I'm fighting for a long time and getting a little tired and wanting to take a vacation. ”
"Hmm." The origin replied and said, "It's good that you can understand this." It's okay to rest and don't forget about your own situation. ”
"Huh." Gao Yang chuckled lightly and said, "What situation can I have?" Isn't it just that I have something good to be remembered? What's the big deal? If you dare to stretch out your claws, just chop them off. Worrying too much is making yourself uncomfortable. ”
After a pause, he looked at the huge Jin army formation in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression gradually turned cold. Pursing the corners of his mouth, he said in a cold voice, "Before that, you have to solve all the Jurchens first!" Cutting grass must be eradicated! Once these savages are given a chance to turn over, it will inevitably be a disaster in the future! ”
"You've won." The origin said in an affirmative tone: "Even if Yan Zonghan's tactical attainments are much stronger than yours. But he doesn't have the right strength in his hands. The only result can only be a regrettable ending. This may be the sorrow of famous generals? ”
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." Gao Yang put on a metal helmet and slowly pulled down his armor. Tapped the mask with his left hand with a metal glove. Buzz said: "A truly strong army does not need famous generals. The so-called victory over the strong with the weak is just the sorrow of the weak. Now, it's time to send Yan Zonghan on the road. ”
......
When cavalry fights infantry, if the infantry is in a neat formation, it has a strong bow and a crossbow inside. Under normal circumstances, even a heavy cavalry corps does not necessarily dare to charge to the death. Cavalry often used their high mobility to spin in all directions, using bows and arrows to consume infantry. Instead of going and fighting with the infantry.
The reason is simple, the training of cavalry is very expensive. A man should be strong, burly, and strong. This must be carefully selected, and then it must be eaten well and to the fullest. At the same time, equip them with sturdy armor and sharp weapons.
It's the same with war horses. Selected horses require rigorous training before they can go into battle. The horse is a delicate and easily frightened animal. If you don't go through strict training, the gongs and drums on the battlefield are noisy and the military horns are sounding, and it is very easy for the war horse to get out of control. Moreover, war horses should also eat good feed to maintain their body fat. Before the war, I had to eat concentrate to replenish my strength. That's a lot more than people eat.
In the era of cold weapons with low productivity, cavalry was definitely an extremely costly species. This is one of the reasons why the honorable title of knight appeared.
And these, for the Jurchens and the nomads of the north, there is no difficulty. Almost all of them are born herders. There are as many horses as there are, and those herdsmen who have grown up on horseback since childhood have taken weapons and mounted horses, that is, natural cavalry.
Since the smugglers smuggled tea and salt into the grasslands in large quantities, the herdsmen who solved the problem of water and soil adaptation became a thousand-year-old nightmare for the Central Plains Dynasty.
These herdsmen, who rode a large number of horses and possessed great mobility, were a great threat to ordinary armies. One hit missed, and it was dozens of miles away. No matter how many the infantry were, it was useless because they couldn't catch up.
The herdsmen on horseback could harass the infantry with bows and arrows until they collapsed. The Central Plains Dynasty was forced to choose to build the Great Wall to resist these bandits who came and went like the wind.
In fact, the nomadic herders are not very combative. They are usually just a group of herders herding sheep and horses. They have not undergone rigorous training, nor have sophisticated weapons and equipment, let alone firm conviction and determination to fight to the end. They're just a bunch of robbers.
The best way to fight these herdsmen is to assemble a strong cavalry!
In the history of the Central Plains Dynasty, such as the Yulin Army and the Xuanjia Tiger Ben, which are powerful armies that have left their names in the history books, are all powerful large-scale cavalry clusters! (To be continued)
