Chapter 103: The Great War and the State (2)
"Artillery and catapults, suppress their cavalry!"
Hao 13 ordered, the ten artillery pieces on the city, the first explosion, plus more than 20 catapults threw huge stones, and the Mengyuan cavalry turned on their backs in an instant, and the impact of the enemy's cavalry was slightly weakened.
"Let Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng return to the team!"
Woo-woo-woo
The poignant horn flashed, and Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng were two cavalry that retreated to the front of the army, divided into left and right roads according to the instructions of the banner, and returned to their original positions.
"The front army is ready to attack!"
Woo-woo-woo
Two terrible horns flashed, the black banner and the blue banner in Hao Thirteen's army swayed left and right, and Yang Xu, who was at the front of the military formation, and the cavalry who were in the front of the military formation, followed the instructions of the banner, and the cavalry that was pressed in front of the military formation turned around to the left and right, revealing the thousand crutches and horses that were waiting for the battle.
Shan Jun, a thousand disciples of the former army, knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, and the time had come for him to use a crutch to link horses. He jumped straight with excitement, and the time had come to test the results of his military training and show his combat ability.
The infantry of the forward army blindfolded the horses of the Kidnappers, and then the infantry also retreated behind the Crutches horses.
"This is the first battle of your charge, the governor has an order, and if you rush through the three formations, you will be able to wash away all your sins, and the governor will also give a heavy reward!" Tu Danjun stood behind the abducted horse army formation, excited, and did not forget to cheer up the ace army in his hand.
A thousand crutches and horses, lined up in a well-organized military formation, in groups of ten, linked by chains, men and horses, all dressed in heavy armor, only the cavalry showed their eyes, and the rest of the place was all wrapped in heavy armor. The riders had long swords in their hands under their crotches, and spears eight feet long in their hands were as neat as a forest.
"Kidnappers attack!"
The enemy's light cavalry had already rushed to a point less than a hundred paces in front of the formation. Hao 13 saw that the military formation of the kidnappers and horses had leaked out, and the blue flag of the Chinese army pointed out, and a thousand heavy armored cavalry, spears forward, rushed over like a sea of mountains.
The Mengyuan cavalry, who was originally rushing into formation, where had they seen such a formation? In one confrontation, they were hit by the cavalry of the abducted horses and stabbed and stabbed, and suffered countless injuries, and the rest retreated like a tide.
Timur originally wanted to use 3,000 cavalry to follow the rangers of the Qingfeng army to break the formation, but he didn't expect that Hao 13 hid a kidnapping chain horse in the military formation, and his cavalry collapsed back in a confrontation, and the abducted horse followed his rout and came to break his military formation.
Timur was also shocked first, the impact of the chain of horses, when fighting with the light cavalry, has already been shown, if this is to rush into the army formation, then it will be worth it?
First of all, Timur did not want his retreating cavalry to rush into his own military formation, nor did he want the chain of horses to rush into his own military formation.
"Artillery, catapults, don't let them come close!" Also first Timur hurriedly commanded the army to counterattack.
"Lord Qizuo, the artillery has just been launched, and it is still cooling, if it is rashly loaded at this time, I am afraid it will be easy to explode, and it seems that the cavalry of the red turban thief has already passed the range of the catapult, and it is too late!" Tripping Ma Wanhu reminded.
This point was pre-designed by Hao Shisan.
The biggest threat to the kidnapping horse is hundreds of artillery pieces, ten horses in a company, if three or four horses are injured, that one company will lose its combat effectiveness.
Hao Shisan definitely didn't let Geng Zaicheng and Hu Dahai die in vain, or in order to attract Timur and release all the artillery, so that he would lose the advantage of artillery.
"Crossbowmen, hold down the formation, do not let anyone get close to the formation, and the pikemen move forward, ready to fend off the enemy's cavalry." Timur also ordered.
Like locusts, the crossbow arrows obscured the sunlight from the sky, like a dark cloud, and shot straight at the crutched horses and the retreating cavalry.
Timur's resistance was futile, the heavy armor of the kidnapper and the horse, the ordinary crossbow arrows could not break the armor at all, and the crossbow arrows filled the sky, but shot all the three thousand retreating cavalry in front of the army formation, and none of them were put back into the army formation.
The spear array is also in vain!
The 1,000-man crutches of the horse army array, at the moment of collision with the Mengyuan army array, made a huge impact sound, and instantly tore out a big hole in the army formation of Timur.
The riders of the chain horses were very brave, no matter what kind of weapons attacked, they did not dodge at all, but just relied on the momentum of ten horses as a whole, and swung the spears forward, and the Meng Yuan soldiers who had no time to dodge were either knocked down by the horses, or were crushed by the giant mace dragged by the chain horses, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The spear of the Mengyuan soldier poked on the abductor chain horse, and it was impossible to break the armor, and it was impossible to poke the rider off the horse, the rider was locked on the horse, and the horse would not fall if it did not fall down.
"Good!" Hao 13 looked at the effect of the crutch chain horse charging into battle, applauded loudly, and smashed his fist on the head of the city. "The cavalry attacked, protected the two gaps, and the whole army attacked!"
Timur's army was in the chaos of being hit by the chain horses, and all the focus was on the chain horses, so the army formation of Hao Shisan's follow-up charge did not encounter too much bow and crossbow catapult strikes, and it was in close contact with Timur's army.
The pear blossom spear spewed out a scorching and dazzling fire, pressing the outside of the military formation, the sword and shield soldiers protected the military formation, and the earth-shaking thunder hand threw the earth-shaking thunder into the enemy's dense military formation, and the archers who followed behind made the bow and arrow shoot at a large elevation angle.
The circular formation of the left and right armies of the Red Turban Army is two meat grinders with full horsepower, strangling countless enemy soldiers in front of them.
Yang informed the 2,000 cavalry of Tu Dan Hu to rush back and forth and drive the Mengyuan soldiers to the front of the Lihua Spear Army.
Tu Danjun led 1,500 large axes and mace troops, followed closely behind the cavalry, slashing and killing.
At the beginning, the balance of war was tilted in favor of Hao Shisan.
The enemy's army formation was very wide, and the abductor chain horse opened a large opening two miles wide in the center of the army formation of Yexian Timur, and although the army formation of Yexian Timur was in chaos, it did not retreat.
The military formations of the left and right armies of the Red Turban Army coordinated the pear flower spear and the earth-shaking thunder perfectly, and advanced two miles forward with the general's array, and the Timur people were killed before they turned over on their backs, and the corpses were floating all over the field.
However, the Mengyuan army of Timur withstood the huge pressure of casualties and died without retreating. The battle lasted from morning to noon, and the army of the Red Turban Army gradually could not support it, and Hao Shisan's personal drumming and cheering could not turn the situation around.
The Red Turban Army's Pear Flower Gun and Heaven-Shaking Thunder were not replenished in the Japanese War, and the Pear Flower Gun Cartridge and Sky-Shaking Thunder were gradually used up, and the Red Turban Army outside the city lost the advantage of weapons, and the disadvantage of numbers was highlighted.
Timur's army was too numerous, and Timur also realized that this was a life-and-death contest, and he could not recapture and defeat Hao 13 to recapture Hezhou, and tens of thousands of troops were homeless. Therefore, Timur personally killed dozens of cowardly soldiers, and fought to the death in the face of huge casualties.
This battle is also equally important to Hao Shisan, who cannot break the counterattack of Yexian Timur, and can only be driven into the Yangtze River by Yexian Timur to feed the finless porpoise.
So he came out of the empty nest and personally led the army responsible for defending the city, and all of them filled the battlefield, and the position was finally stabilized.
Hao 13 and Yexian Timur are both two gamblers who gamble with red eyes, and they are all worth their lives.
"The Chinese army will attack and support Wu Liuqi's right army!" Hao Shisan's eyes were red, and he gave an order to Zhang Poyu, a thousand households of the Chinese army beside him.
"Boss, if the Chinese army presses up, the city will be empty, if the official army and the navy come from the meeting......" Zhang Poyu said helplessly, he didn't want to see the effect later.
"Execute the order! If you can't be defeated, Timur first, we all have to go down to the river to feed Wang Ba! Hao 13 said coldly.
