Chapter 140: Oishi's domineering
If the evening glow turns all the scenery into crimson music. The rows of knives and guns, the tense bowstrings, are the beating notes, which converge into an increasingly exciting rhythm.
The battle between the two sides is very clear, behind Yelu Dashi is three hundred iron cavalry, and behind Han Wang is four hundred foot soldiers and two hundred light cavalry.
The elite cavalry of the Liao army was arranged into three horizontal rows of 100 people, and the barricades were all loosely straddled on their horses. One person and two horses, each horse has a number of knives, guns, bows and arrows, rope sheaths and other weapons, standard elite configuration.
Although the Southern Korean army on the opposite side was twice as large as his own, the barricade army did not have any pressure at all, but giggled and laughed.
Dashi knew that the exterior and interior of a strong army could be completely different, and each of the more than 200 people under his command was experienced in a hundred battles. Don't look at the naïve way of laughing now, when it comes time to really attack, it will become a group of man-eating demons.
The army of the Southern Dynasty in front of him, although he defeated 200 Liao army light cavalry at Xiaozhuang River, repelled 1,000 Han troops at Doumi Village, and successively captured two cities in Xiongzhou and Baozhou. It's not that Yelu Dashi underestimates it, these fledgling recruits are still not enough to look at in front of the veterans of a hundred battles.
Not to mention 600 people, even 6,000 people, Dashi is also confident that he will defeat them, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, just like he did in Xiongzhou. But in the shadow of Dashi's heart, the commander of the Southern Dynasty always felt a little strange, was he arrogant, proud, or wise and foolish?
Understand the enemy first understand the enemy's commander, this Han Wang is like a meteor, extremely dazzling among the pedantic officials of the Southern Dynasty, so he simply made an appointment to meet in the middle of the formation to see what kind of character he was.
Han Wang also wanted to meet the legendary King of Western Liao for a while, urging the war horse to come to the center between the two armies. The two stopped at a distance of about a kilometer, looked at each other, and the soldiers on both sides shouted in unison, cheering for their commander.
Yelu Dashi's stout figure left a deep impression on Han Wang, tall and strong, a typical northern man. Fortunately, it is this good body, otherwise the wind and rain, exposure to the sun, and the ice-like body in the Western Regions would really not be able to bear it.
Han Wang has a well-proportioned figure, a tall skeleton, a handsome face, and a pair of eyes that always have a smile, and he looks like a harmless big brother next door. How can such a young man be invincible?
"I'm here, just say something," Han Wang spoke first.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little curious" Dashi smiled a little slyly, he spoke Chinese really well
"Xiaozhuang River, Doumi Village, Xiongzhou, Baozhou, four battles and four victories! It's amazing. However, XX is about to start the expedition to the west, and I desperately need your special armaments, and I wanted to negotiate a good purchase, but it turned out that I got a war to meet each other, which was not XX's original intention."
"Well, I understand, so three hundred people are surrounding my barracks and steel factory, do I want to thank you for your care and love?" Han Wang also gave Dashi a roll of his eyes, "But it's okay, I invited more than 100 of you to dinner, and now I want to invite you back to drink together."
"You're so confident before the war started?"
"There's no way, I've been using Rejoice"
Dashi's head is full of question marks, what is fluttering? It's all about his nonsense. "Well, a certain barricade army is also invincible, if you don't try, you won't give up. I believe that in the future, you will not want to meet them on the battlefield."
"So domineering? Don't regret it," Han Wang turned his horse's head and returned to his own formation.
Han Wang pulled out his sword, "Four hundred steps bow and crossbow ready!" ”
Four hundred people stretched out their bows and arrows and adjusted the Wangshan to four hundred paces, this distance can already produce lethality, especially the cavalry itself still has speed, so it is estimated that the damage will be further improved.
Over there, Yelu Dashi was also preparing for the attack, "Be careful of the opponent's crossbowmen, their bows and arrows are very damaging, as long as you can rush over, you can defeat the southerners."
"Go, defeat this army of the Southern Dynasty, wait for you to come back, drink"
"Lin Ya, let's bring back the enemy's head to you, roar~woo~"
The barricade army attacked in a very orderly manner, with one person for every two people in the first row, thirty-three people in the first wave, and thirty-three people after thirty paces. And so on, three hundred people, divided into nine waves to attack, so that they can avoid the killing of the Southern Dynasty arrow rain to the greatest extent.
Han Wang still ordered to shoot, there are bows and arrows, even if a hundred arrows kill one, it's good, fighting is money, just exchange the bow and arrow for your life, if you can't shoot people, shoot horses, in short, it's okay to disrupt your offensive rhythm.
Therefore, the 400 people are divided into four waves to shoot, so that they can attack the blocker army continuously and increase the success rate of killing. Each person carried twenty crossbow arrows, and Han Wang's request was to shoot them all and fight with knives and guns.
The barricades had apparently experienced this kind of attack for a long time, with two horses in one person, their bodies pressed against the back of their horses' necks, listening to the sound of breaking wind, and dodging waves of arrows faster or slower.
The first and second waves of barricades were shot with a large number of bows and arrows, and at least thirty people were lost. However, the losses in the next few waves were not very large, and in general, 300 people rushed to the front of the winning army, and the casualties were only more than 40 people.
The first wave of the barricades was deliberately slowed down, and the last wave was the fastest, so that a dense group of cavalry could form when approaching the enemy. Then, break into the enemy's line and slash the footmen, pass through the formation, turn around, and repeatedly charge the battle until the enemy army collapses.
However, Han Wang gave Han Shizhong the power to self-determine, and he could attack whenever he saw fit. Han Shizhong led more than 200 light horsemen to insert diagonally and pounced on the flank of the barricade army.
The barricade army looked down on the Song army's light cavalry at all, and it was difficult to charge and fight, and there was nothing else to talk about except for speed. The flanks of the barrage army automatically rushed over and more than forty horsemen hedged against Han Shizhong.
How could Han Shizhong let such a few people entangle him, and ordered sixty or seventy horsemen to withdraw and continue to pursue the Blocking Army Brigade. In any case, try to hold back as many people as possible to reduce the pressure on the infantry army. Sure enough, the barricade army had to draw out more than 20 people to deal with the light cavalry that was pursuing.
The cavalry melee here began, and the barricade army was worthy of being the elite of the Liao army, fighting, fighting, riding, and the movements were extremely concise and effective.
After two rounds, Han Shizhong found that the situation was not good, although he killed more than a dozen horsemen of the blocking army, the battle damage ratio was as high as three to one, and he also lost nearly 50 people. It can't be said that your subordinates don't work hard, but hard work and skill are two different concepts.
Han Shizhong looked at the sixty or seventy horsemen who pursued the past, and now there were only more than forty horsemen. No, if this will be broken by each other, they should work together to fight against the blocking army, so they no longer entangled the more than 20 horsemen, and turned around to chase after the rear wing of the blocking army.
If Han Shizhong is embarrassed, then Han Wang, Wang Gui, and Yao Zheng can be described as dangerous. The attack power and techniques and tactics of the Blockade Army really gave the infantry a hard blow, and after one round, Han Wang suffered more than 60 casualties. If you continue to fight like this, you will almost run out. (To be continued.) )
