Chapter 182: Defeat
Hoohoo hoo one
The giant crossbow arrows of the Thunder Chariot continued to shoot, and the arm-thick crossbow arrows roared through the dense crowd, all bringing out a puff of blood mist, and the severed limbs and arms were thrown away, and the terrible screams of tearing people and lungs continued to come out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Six rounds of giant crossbow arrows were fired one after another, and the ground in front of the Korean Mianguo army was full of mutilated corpses, which was unbearable to see, and at least six of the ten pavilions of the entire front army were broken, and the infantry phalanx was already in chaos.
The lethality of the giant crossbow arrow is too terrifying, and the range is long, how can this battle be fought?
Fear spread quickly in the army, and Rao, a well-trained elite veteran, couldn't help but be terrified, trembling, and his morale quickly fell to the extreme.
"Steady! Steady! Don't mess around! ”
The officer who received the commander's order brandished his sword and hissed loudly, trying to calm the soldiers in the courtyard.
Joke? Stabilize at this time? Stand and wait for the enemy's terrifying weapon to arrive?
The soldiers, who had been frightened and frightened, desperately retreated, and no one dared to stand in the front rows and wait for death.
Although the front army of the Korean Mianguo Army was in chaos, no one had escaped and caused the whole army to collapse, and it really deserved to be a well-trained elite division.
Li Jin, who was sitting on a war horse, couldn't help but sigh, if it was the motley army under him, it would only take two rounds of giant crossbows to break down and flee.
"Archer advance!"
Following his command, the archers in the array quickly advanced and fired a wave of arrows like locusts.
The front army of the Korean Mianguo Army had been slaughtered in a mess by six waves of giant crossbow arrows, without the cover of shields, a dense rain of arrows whistled and sprinkled, countless blood sprays were fired, and a large number of soldiers fell with screams.
Such a dense and chaotic target without shield cover, with eyes closed, can hit the target, and two waves of arrows are sprinkled, and the first phalanx of the former army of the Korean Mianguo can be said to be finished.
"Rush forward!"
The officer brandished his sword and shouted, "Kill that damn archer!" ”
There was no shield to cover them, and the enemy's archers were so rampant and arrogant that they could only rush closer, and those hateful archers would be slaughtered.
Some of the soldiers rushed forward with their swords, but they were shot like a rain of locust arrows, and many more soldiers flinched desperately, their courage already frightened by the terrifying lethality of the giant crossbow.
"No retreat......
Several officers shouted and tried to stop the retreating soldiers, but they all fell down with a rain of arrows.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the central army hurriedly ordered the cavalry on both flanks to attack in order to save the defeat.
The dense defensive phalanx of the front army was forcibly broken by the enemy, and this joke is a big joke!
No matter how powerful the five famous marshals of the Megatron Continent are, no one can defeat the opponent's front army, so they can only find fighters from both wings to break the formation.
was forcibly broken through by the enemy army, this face is lost!
The cavalry on both flanks attacked in order to cover the retreat of the three armies and avoid the rout of the whole army.
The rear army of the Mianguo Army of South Korea was changed to the front army, and slowly retreated backwards, and the Chinese army followed behind, and the front army, which suffered heavy losses and was already in chaos.
The commander flag of the army of the Mianguo Kingdom of Korea moved, and Bai Yutang, who had been waiting in ambush in the dense forest, raised the Yuanhong sword, pressed forward, and shouted loudly, "Sons, follow me, kill!" ”
10,000 cavalry poured out of the dense forest like a tidal wave, like a torrent of steel, crushing the enemy rear army in retreat.
"Oh my God, the enemy's cavalry ......"
"Array, pikemen, hurry up!"
The officers hissed and shouted, directing the pikemen to deploy their guns in order to hold back the onslaught of the deceased cavalry.
The roar of the powerful arrow flying through the air suddenly came, and with a thud, it pierced through the officer's open mouth and shot out a cloud of blood mist.
The knights of the Great Yan Kingdom saddled and jumped on their horses, raised their swords high, and slaughtered the enemy like a whirlwind, and the knights who rushed to the front stepped on their horses, straightened up, stretched their bows and buckled the strings, and shot round rounds of powerful arrows.
Although it was not as exaggerated as the arrows raining down, hundreds of powerful arrows were whistling and scattering, and the soldiers of the Great Han Mianguo who were not protected by a shield became a live target, and the soldiers at the front fell down with a scream.
Li Jin used to like to read history books, and the Mongolian cavalry rode a few horses, running thousands of miles, and the mobility of the cavalry was vividly wielded, invincible in the world.
He told Bai Yutang everything he knew, and Bai Yutang's eyes widened when he heard it, and he was so impressed in his heart that he threw himself to the ground.
The boss is not a man, he is a god!
Li Jin's words made Bai Yutang's thinking leap to a completely new space, which made him ecstatic, and he devoted himself to training his cavalry troops, almost crazy.
Mounted archery, is his cavalry unit in every soldier must train a course, everyone must learn to ride archery, horse, foot combat can be competent, otherwise it will be eliminated, the intensity of training is by no means ordinary people can bear, in the words of later generations, the cavalry unit trained by Bai Yutang has belonged to the special forces in this era.
He also has a heavy cavalry formed according to the Western heavy cavalry according to Li Jin's prompt, but the selection of personnel and the selection of war horses are very strict, and in three years, his heavy cavalry unit has only trained 1,000 people.
The selection of personnel is relatively easy, to select qualified war horses, it is very difficult, a thousand particularly fat and strong war horses, it is hard to find.
This is his secret weapon, and it is his life's work, he was reluctant to use it, he left it in Yishui and did not bring it, and was scolded by Li Jin for hiding his secrets.
When the cavalry attacked, they first came to shoot a few rounds, killing and injuring not many enemies, but they could cause great psychological pressure on the enemy, lead to low morale, and then collapse.
Even if the enemy lays a tight spear formation, the cavalry does not directly attack, but only rushes to the front of the spear formation to bypass, and shoots one after another, as long as the formation is chaotic, and then wait for the opportunity to attack and break the formation, it is indeed very powerful.
The cavalry in the full impact shot one after another, which did cause great psychological pressure to the Korean Mianguo army, the soldiers just stood in formation with spears several meters long, but the arrows fell down miserably, and they hurriedly changed their formations in the retreat, which was already a little chaotic, and several waves of strong arrows were sprinkled, and the spearmen were not able to lay down the spear formation at all, and the enemy's cavalry had already rushed closer.
The whirlwind of iron cavalry slammed into the chaotic crowd like a torrent of steel, crushing the soldiers who blocked the impact.
The terrible screams of their companions and the rumbling sound of iron hooves galloping out of thousands of iron horses were earth-shattering, crushing people's hearts, making people frightened and frightened.
Countless iron horses chiseled into the formation, the snow-bright steel knives flew, shooting out a puff of blood mist, the war horses slammed into it, the human body flew and tossed, and the entire rear army of the Korean Mianguo Army was like an ant colony that exploded its nest at once, and with a coax, it completely collapsed in the blink of an eye.
The frightened soldiers threw away their weapons and rushed to flee, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs.
The battle between the armies pays attention to the morale of the soldiers, even if it is a well-trained elite division, once the morale is low to the limit, it is doomed to the fate of defeat.
The defeat is like a mountain, which is also the true portrayal of the battlefield.
The rear army of the Mianguo Kingdom of Korea collapsed, and the frightened soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, and this fear spread rapidly, infecting the whole army like an infectious disease, and the whole army was coaxed, and the officers waved swords to block them, and even slashing and killing the deserters was useless.
The enemy's cavalry has rushed to the front, don't run away and wait for death?
The frightened soldier threw away the weapon in his hand, took off the armor on his body, and tried his best to reduce the weight on his body and rushed to flee for his life, only hating his father and mother for having two legs and not being able to run a four-legged war horse.
The cavalry of Bai Yutang formed a fan-shaped attack formation, like a torrent of rolling steel, impacting the fleeing soldiers into a flying air, rumbling iron hooves and stepping down, and the bones were gone.
The cavalry attacking on both flanks of the Korean Mianguo Army felt bad and wanted to turn around, but Li Jin ordered the whole army to attack at the right time, and the cavalry and infantry all attacked and crushed forward.
At this time, turning the horse's head was simply giving way to the enemy, and the cavalry of the Great Yan Kingdom rushed like a whirlwind, like a sharp blade, chiseled into the cavalry that had been delayed due to the turn, and for a time the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams were endless.
The front, middle and rear armies of the side have all collapsed, and they are still playing a ball?
The cavalry attacking on both flanks also completely collapsed in an instant, their psychology collapsed, and they were still hairy, and it was important to escape.
Those cavalry galloped on horseback, knocking and flying the fleeing infantry and ignoring them, now that their lives are at stake, who cares about whom?
There are enemy troops rushing in front and behind, and they can only run to two lines, and they can survive by burrowing into the woods, and there are also those who are dizzy, either running forward or running backwards, either being cut down by random knives, or being hit by war horses, and countless iron hooves have stepped over their bodies, and there are no bones left.
The 50,000 soldiers of the completely collapsed Han Mianguo only rushed to flee for their lives, without even the slightest resistance, and the soldiers of the Daeyan Kingdom pursued and killed behind, and some fell down with swords in their hands, and some raised their hands to surrender and save their lives.
Bai Yutang's 10,000 iron cavalry were in a fan-shaped attack formation when they attacked, and the range of the attack was very wide, and many of the fleeing soldiers of the Han Mianguo Kingdom were either thrown up by the war horses, their muscles and bones were broken, or they were trampled into meat cakes by iron hooves, or split in half by the knight's swords, and they were killed and wounded.
At the time of the two pillars of incense, this one-sided slaughter battle finally ended, and the corpses of the dead were all over the ground, the abandoned weapons and armor were everywhere, and the wounded were struggling and rolling, and there were bursts of bitter cries of pain.
The soldiers of Dayan Kingdom happily cleaned up the battlefield and picked up military materials such as weapons and armor, war horses, grain and grass abandoned by the enemy.
Dead corpses everywhere, dig a few big pits in the forest, just throw the corpses into the pits, simply bandage the minor injuries, obediently become prisoners, seriously injured, basically no medical rescue, directly lift, throw into the dead body pit, no matter how you curse and shout, all buried as dead.
The results of the battle were soon reported, and there were more than 28,000 corpses alone, more than 17,000 prisoners, and only about 4,000 lucky ones who ran fast escaped into the dense forest.
A large amount of weapons, equipment, grain and grass and other military supplies were seized and transported to the city.
Seeing the motley army under his command happily carrying the spoils back to the city, Li Jin couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile.
When the battle is going well, these guys are fiercer than the other, if they are at a disadvantage, I wonder if these guys will break up in a hurry?
Bai Yutang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, if you fight a few more battles, these guys will be almost the same." ”
Well, after the training of blood and fire, Bo Biao should have become an elite old grass coin worthy of a battle earlier, otherwise against the Feifeng Legion of Shangfeng Shuai, only the share of being beaten would be miserable.
The Flying Phoenix Legion and the Eagle Yang Legion are two invincible lions that have been tempered by years of bloody battles, and their combat effectiveness is terrifyingly strong, even if they have secret weapons, they may not be sure to win.
However, he doesn't have to worry about confronting Feng Shuai now, the 400,000 army of only the dead stick, and the 250,000 army of the tiger cavalry general Xu Fang should be enough to contain her for a while.
And he only has this time to conduct actual combat training, and what kind of training he can achieve depends on luck.
Now, what he has to worry about is the battle in a few days, Luocheng must be taken, so that he can cut off the supply of the two dangerous passes of Longnan and Tiantang, and force the enemy to collapse without a fight.
However, it is impossible to raid Luo Cheng, so you can only storm and rely on the power of the Thunder Chariot to deter the enemy, hoping not to pay too much price.
The army rested for a day, and Li Jin handed over the Bailin Pass to the lieutenant Deng Yuan to guard, leaving 30,000 infantry, and led the army out in the early morning of the next day, and went straight to Luocheng.
According to the report of the scouts, the Dianjing Station, which pinned down the enemy army near Luocheng, successfully ambushed a grain transportation team of the Korean Mianguo Army, killed 1,000 enemies, burned a lot of grain and grass, and also attacked several market towns near Luocheng, killing and wounding some enemies, and stirring up the entire Luocheng army and civilians to panic.
After three days of marching, the army forced to the city of Luocheng, set up camp, trapped the three gates of the north, west and south, rested for one night, and attacked the city the next day.
According to the information provided by the Demon Queen, there are only 30,000 defenders in Luo City, and counting the strong men temporarily recruited in the past few days, the number is at most 50,000 or 60,000.
Only three city gates were trapped and the east gate was left alone, so that the soldiers and civilians defending the city had a trace of life, so that they would not have the heart of death and live and die with the city.
After dawn, the army gathered under the north city wall, and the Han Mianguo army defending the city did not go out of the city to fight, and it seemed that there was a plan to rely on the fortified city to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
Three hundred thunder chariots were pushed to the bottom of the city, stopping outside the range of the stone thrower, and with the officer's order, the soldiers of the three thousand divine machine battalions were busy operating, shooting giant crossbow arrows with thick arms.
In a series of whirring sounds, the giant crossbow arrows made a strange roar that made people shudder and crash against the thick and solid city walls, making a loud sound of expansion.
The solid walls of the big bluestone walls were pierced by huge crossbows for several inches, and cracks appeared, and the rubble shot out, shaking the entire city.
The soldiers guarding the city were so shocked that they were bombarded, and they were afraid that there would be no more than ten rounds, and this section of the city wall was about to collapse, and the enemy's weapons were so terrifying, how could this battle be fought? It's not on the same level at all......
The Thunder Chariot only bombarded six rounds in a row and then stopped, and Lu Lu successively returned to the camp for repairs, although this thing is powerful, but it can't be shot for a long time, and the worn parts have to be replaced.
Of course, the Thunder Chariot is not only limited to six shots, the reason why the attack is stopped is to let the soldiers defending the city feel the terrifying power of the giant crossbow arrows, so that they are afraid and cold, demoralized, and it is possible to slip in the middle of the night.
In short, as long as the soldiers defending the city are demoralized, it will be much easier to attack tomorrow, at least without paying too many casualties to capture Luocheng.
The section of the city wall near the city gate was bombarded with huge crossbow arrows, and nearly a thousand arm-thick crossbow arrows were inserted into the city wall that cracked the cracks, and the entire section of the city wall was already crumbling.
Moreover, the last round of giant crossbow arrows was fired at the city wall, which smashed many buildings in the city to pieces, killing and injuring many innocent people.
War, there are always dead people, depending on who is lucky.
The bombarded north city wall can be seen by anyone, and after a few more rounds of bombardment, this section of the city wall will be blown down.
Fear crept through the defenders.
In the middle of the night, the only unblocked east gate quietly opened, and countless black shadows desperately fled out by the hazy moonlight, hiding in the dense forest opposite.
By the time the officers on patrol arrived, the situation was out of control, and the avenue at the east gate was crowded with residents who wanted to flee outside the city, mixed with many deserters who had given up and trembled and did not dare to stay and fight.
The patrol officer shouted loudly, trying to deter him, and forced him to draw his sword and cut down several deserters.
In this way, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the deserters and the people, and I don't know who cast the cold arrow, and the arrow hit the officer's face, and the officer fell down with a miserable scream, and Lin Nu trampled on him with one foot, and was trampled into a meat pie in an instant.
More and more soldiers threw away their weapons and armor to join the fleeing crowd, and more residents also packed up their gold and silver and fled with their children and daughters.
The scouts' successive inspections made Li Jin and other generals smile very happily, and if this continues, it is a miracle that there will be 10,000 soldiers left in the city at dawn.
He ordered to continue to closely monitor the movements of the east city gate, strictly ordered the cavalry in ambush not to attack, and allowed the people in the city to flee, only to beware of the enemy's deception, and to use mobile night attacks.
When the sky was white, the army had already gathered under the northern city, three hundred thunder chariots rumbled closer, and the three thousand soldiers of the Shenji battalion were busy operating, preparing to shoot giant crossbow arrows with thick arms.
"Look, sir."
The guards around him exclaimed in surprise and pointed to the head of the city. Li Jin looked up and couldn't help laughing.
At the head of the northern city, the full moon battle flag of the Korean Mianguo has been lowered, replaced by a white flag representing surrender.
I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect the city to surrender, which is really unbelievable.
