Chapter 101: The Iron Horse
On the high slope outside Shouzhou City, the majestic wind blew the military flag, Hao Shisan was wearing a silver-white fish scale armor, with a treasure knife under his crotch, only sitting on the horse, Yang Zhiyu and Wang Manchen took a group of female soldiers, as well as the Chinese army guards Qianhu Wu Liujiu and Tu Danhu took all the guards of the Governor's Mansion, and the guards like a great enemy were behind Hao Shisan.
"Report to the Governor, the former army of the Governor's Mansion has been completed, please check it!" Shan Jun, a former soldier of a thousand households, immediately took out the long Miao knife in both hands, stood the knife on his chest with one hand, and reported loudly.
Hao 13 asked: "I don't know what kind of military formation Master Tu Dan has cultivated, and it has wasted so many twists and turns!" ”
Hao 13 wanted to send his apprentice Shan Jun and Fu Youde to capture the east of Shouzhou together, but he was told by Shan Jun that the new army had not been completed.
"If you go back to the governor, this is called 'Kidnapping Chain Horse', please instruct whether to start the drill or not!" In vain, Shan Jun replied.
Hao Shisan heard the 'Kidnapper Serial Horse' and remembered two allusions, one is Yue Fei's Yuncheng victory, and the broken Golden Vulture completed Yan Zongbi's Abduction Serial Horse, in "Water Margin", Wu used other tricks to earn Xu Ning to go up the mountain, in order to use a hook and sickle to break Hu Yanzhuo's abducted serial horse, however, there is no "Water Margin" yet.
I never thought that the former army under his command Qianhu actually organized such a team, but he didn't know what the combat effectiveness was. Tu Shan Jun was born in a Jurchen military household, and grew up listening to the story of their god of war, Wanyan Zongbi, and according to legend, it is not surprising that he trained an army.
"Start practicing!" Hao Shisan coldly gave an order.
"No!" Ordered by Danjun.
Woo -
Woo -
Woo -
There was a terrible horn in the air.
Knock -
Knock -
Knock -
Immediately afterwards, the impassioned war drums slowly sounded.
At the foot of the hill, to the rhythm of trumpets and war drums, a military formation of 2,500 men was slowly listed, of which 1,500 infantry were at the front of the ranks, and 1,000 heavy cavalry were at the rear.
The infantry of 1,500 people has not changed much, the blue suits of all colors, the armor is still the original standard bull-headed armor, and the 1,000 cavalry behind is the highlight of Tu Danjun.
The 1,000 cavalry, armor and horses were captured by Li Chahan last time, and the soldiers were also the best of the best among the prisoners of Li Chahan and the Chuzhou army, they looked quite strong, people and horses, all wearing heavy armor, leaving only two eyes and nostrils to breathe, everyone in their hands, is a unified equipment, a heavy spear in his hand, and a long Miao knife across his waist and hands.
Ten horses were joined in groups, connected by iron chains, and at the junctions, there were maces three feet long, and each of them had a chain tied to his waist, which was fastened to his waist, and he was chained to his waist, and ten men were joined by ten horses.
When the array was finished, a horn flashed in the army, and the infantry in front turned around, blindfolded their horses with black cloths, divided into two teams, and flashed to both sides of the cavalry, making room for the cavalry to charge.
As soon as the drums in the army changed, a thousand cavalry urged their horses together, and the cavalry shouted together, and rushed out like the spears of the forest.
Fifteen hundred infantry, drawing an arc, closely followed the heavy cavalry, also in a charge-like stance, pretending to be the heavy cavalry in front of the enemy to disperse the enemy's formation, and the infantry behind followed up and slashed. The 1,500 soldiers, all with big axes and maces, and long swords across their waists.
"Good!" Hao Shisan cheered loudly, "Cover the horse's eyes, the horse will not be afraid of anything encountered in front, even if people are cowardly and locked on the horse's back, they can only be killed with the horse!" ”
Li Chahan's heavy cavalry suffered a big loss from Hao 13 last time, and the most important factor was that they did not cover the horse's eyes, and the horse was afraid of the fire of the pear flower spear.
Hao 13 already has tens of thousands of troops, and he is about to cooperate with some friendly forces to fight a big battle, and the number of troops dispatched is often tens of thousands, relying on a single branch of the army, it is definitely not possible, and all arms need to work together.
"I don't know how Lord Tudan can train such an army!"
"Back to the governor's words, these are all prisoners, they have killed and injured many of our soldiers, and they deserve to atone for our crimes, ten people in a team, one person makes a mistake, the whole team sits in a row, I don't know how many people are killed, so I trained these many soldiers!" Shan Jun said complacently.
"Tell your heavy armor soldiers, as long as they charge for the Pontus Governor three times and do not die, the Pontus will forgive their sins, go and stay at will, and leave those who are willing to continue fighting for the Pontus, and there will be a generous pension for the death of the Pontus!" Hao Shisan said sharply.
Tu Shan Jun said reluctantly: "The governor is kind-hearted, 'mercy does not lead soldiers, kindness does not raise wealth', you need to know that it is not easy to train this army, and then you can do it, I don't know how many people will be killed!" ”
Hao Shisanxin said: "Although this kidnapping horse is powerful, it is not that there is no way to break the armor, and after using it once or twice, it will become famous all over the world, and it has long been found by the enemy to crack the way, if you don't give these people a little favor, I am afraid that you will defect and rush to your own army." He didn't explain it to Tu Danjun, but comforted: "Master Tu Dan don't worry, the governor of Pontus has his own plans!" ”
Tu Shan Jun pondered for a moment, and said: "What the governor said is also that the biggest disadvantage of this kidnapping horse is that it can only rush for a while in a battle, and it can only go all the way forward, and it is not easy to turn around. ”
"This type of heavy cavalry is best used in combination with light cavalry, which is fast enough to protect the rear flank of heavy cavalry. Supplemented by infantry, it is very easy to cut off the connection between the replenishment and the heavy cavalry by the enemy's army, if the enemy's light cavalry chases the kidnapping horse, and the kidnapping horse is inconvenient to return to the army to rush and kill, the situation is not good! ”
"What the Governor said is very true!"
After a long time, I saw the infantry of the front army, the escorted bound cavalry came back, the horse went to the vest, and the sweaty ran out of strength, and the people were also generally embarrassed, bringing a heavy armored cavalry to come closer, Hao 13 ascended the heights and announced:
"You have killed and wounded many of my soldiers in my hostile camp and in the army, according to the will of Lord Tudan, you all deserve to die, and the governor of Pontus has good thoughts, as long as you are willing to rush through the three formations for me, the governor of Pontus will forgive you for your sins, and give you a heavy reward, if you are willing to fight for the governor of Pontus, the governor of Pontus will reward you heavily, and if you do not want to continue to fight, go and stay as you please!"
Three charges? Who knows how many more will survive in the three charges? As soon as the abducted horse soldiers saw a glimmer of hope of escaping the clutches of the disciple Shan Jun, they were grateful to Dade and knelt on the ground and thanked: "Thanks to the grace of Lord Dudu, I am willing to fight to the death!" ”
Hao Shisan called Tu Shan Jun and whispered in his ear: "This army, don't wear armor every day, don't participate in training, it has been detected by the enemy, and it has already found a way to crack it, and it is not easy to use on the battlefield." ”
"Obey the teachings of the Governor!" Tu Shan Jun received the order, and won a heavy reward from Hao Shisan, and drove to Luzhou overnight, just waiting for this battlefield surprise soldier to play a big role on the battlefield.
