Chapter 953: Desperate to the Death
He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Regardless of the sound of the Khitan horses' hooves like thunder, shouting and shouting to kill, the forbidden army only cared about shouting "Tiger!" Tiger! Tiger! Pressing the beat of the drum, push forward.
There is nothing surprising about the tactics of the forbidden army.
The iron-plated carriage served as a mobile horse repellent in front, followed by a row of sword and shield men, who specialized in drilling into the gap between the carriages and cutting the legs of the enemy's horses. As for the crossbowmen and musketeers, they were in the back in order, forming three columns. In addition, there are pikemen to the left and right.
On both flanks were cavalry, with an artillery array in the center. In order to prevent a sneak attack, a chain carriage was also arranged.
"Hey, the Khitans have learned to be good!"
When the doctor saw the arrows thrown into the sky by the Khitans, they actually carried a little firelight, and immediately understood. These are grease arrows that, once ignited, do not extinguish even in the air. Such an arrow does not have much direct lethality, but it can cause riots in the army.
"They've learned to attack with fire, too!"
This is the common aspiration of the forbidden soldiers, but when it comes to this, who dares to retreat? Even if you want to, there are people behind you who arch you forward, and you can't retreat at all.
The Khitans are braving the flowering bombs to charge, and their fierce strength is not afraid of death, which makes the forbidden army feel a little shy.
But war is like this, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Once you are cowardly and retreat, if not 100%, 90% will be defeated.
However, the role of artillery is obvious, and the bombardment of hundreds of sub-mother cannons, shrapnel flew all over the sky, harvesting the lives of the Khitans one by one. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a thousand Khitan cavalrymen had already died under the artillery.
Finally broke through the artillery blockade, and the gunfire rang out again.
This dense gunfire, as if it never stopped, ruthlessly took the lives of one Khitan cavalry after another.
Stay a little closer, and the forbidden army's divine arm crossbow will also be powerful. The crossbow arrows that were thrown out, under the acceleration of gravity, easily penetrated the leather armor of the Khitan cavalry. Only a few cavalrymen in iron armor were not so badly wounded.
It's a pity that the gap between the cavalry charges is too large, and even if they strike uninterruptedly, there are many fish that slip through the net.
A moment later, the Khitan cavalry, who were lucky enough to survive, began to fight back.
Grease-stained rockets were constantly thrown into the battle formations of the forbidden army. There were even a few upright Khitan cavalrymen who really crashed headlong into the chain carriage array.
Needless to say, horses must have broken their muscles and bones. But the man rolled on the ground, and drew his saber by the way.
Brave to such an extent, he even nodded at the clinic: "The Khitan people's physique is indeed stronger than that of the Han people." But the strength is also limited, except for poor horsemanship, the forbidden army will not lose to them! ”
There are not a few such Khitans.
Although as soon as they rushed in, they were cut to the ground.
But with the continuous impact, the chain carriage array has been loosened, even if it adds an extra layer of heavy armor sword and shield soldiers, it can't withstand the impact of hundreds of catties!
"This ...... Such a brutal work, only these barbarians can do it! Some generals looked at each other, although they called the Khitans "barbarians", but their expressions were shocked and admired in their hearts.
Yang Huaiyu couldn't hold it back for a long time, and shouted: "How can the Khitan people be reasonable? Look at my Yang family's guns, knock them over one by one! ”
Wang Shao saw that he was eager to try, and hurriedly grabbed him: "You want to disobey the military order?" ”
Their task is to guard the wings, afraid that the Khitans will come and harass them. Yang Huaiyu was a little discouraged when he heard this: "The Khitans obviously put all the heavy troops in front, and they still need to guard the two wings!" ”
"There's nothing wrong with being careful!" Wang Shao said calmly, "The Khitan people will have a future!" ”
Yang Huaiyu was disdainful, but he could only hold his temper and wait for the battle of the front army.
Casualties on both sides, mutual climbing. The fire attack of the Khitans has achieved certain results. But unfortunately, it can't make the forbidden army chaotic.
When the forbidden army was exercising, what scene had you not seen? Fire attack, water attack, almost even firearms were used. Treat yourself so ruthlessly, and are you afraid of the enemy?
The doctor frowned and watched the stalemate of the war. What worried him was not the battle situation in front of him, but the clear sky, and a large dark cloud slowly drifted in.
The weather in the steppe, unpredictable, one moment is a sunny day, the next moment there are too many examples of violent storms. Implant diagnosis is the commander of the first army, and he must consider the problem from the overall situation. Although the forbidden army can still retreat into the camp, in this way, the time spent on weakening the morale of the Khitan people before will become useless. The Khitan people's morale is greatly boosted, coupled with Yelu Hongji's personal expedition, which will win and which will lose, it is really difficult to say.
The forbidden army is also a transnational operation, and the logistics supply line is long. The Liao army replenished soldiers and horses anytime and anywhere. The forbidden army is one less dead, if this battle is not won, if it wants to make a comeback in the future, the difficulty will be doubled.
"Fight to the death!"
The seed doctor suddenly shouted, "Pass on the military order of the marshal, fight to the death!" ”
An army that can't fight a tough battle, what kind of elite is it?
Since the forbidden army is an elite, it must be mentally prepared to fight the most arduous battles, to sacrifice the whole army, and even more to be mentally prepared to fight to the death and not retreat!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The heavy drumbeat sounded, the morale of the forbidden army was boosted, and the Khitans were suppressed.
But the good times didn't last long, and after only a while, the wind picked up on the grassland.
Immediately afterwards, the raindrops the size of beans fell, and the forbidden army's heart shrank suddenly: "It's raining!" ”
This is the worst result, at the moment of the decisive battle, it actually encountered a rainy day.
Sure enough, the Khitan people who were charging on their horses shouted louder, and their joy was beyond words.
A tragic atmosphere spread among the forbidden army.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!! Death Battle!! ”
As the officers led by example and took the lead in counterattacking, the non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army gritted their teeth, clenched the weapons in their hands, and shouted loudly, "Tiger!" Tiger! Tiger! Then, braving the heavier and heavier rain, he shot the arrows and shot the buckshot out.
Stormy, this time really stormy. The pouring rain turned the cannon into a pile of scrap metal. Many Hongxiang rifles can no longer be ignited.
But even so, every forbidden soldier did not have the word retreat in his eyes. After brainwashing, they have long understood the concept of the country, and they also have the pride and ambition to sacrifice their lives for the country, and they have no worries!
Since it is a decisive battle, how can it not fight to the death?
Even if the Hongxiang rifle did not ignite, the musketeers silently followed the three-stage shot, quietly loading the bayonet as they stepped back to reload.
Even if the sub-mother cannon was dumb fired, the gunners all drew out their swords on their waists, and there was no excitement in their expressions, only the determination to defend the sub-mother cannon as if they were dead.
What is even more touching is the officers, they have no grandiose words, only take the lead and are willing to be a pawn.
How can such an army be defeated casually?
