Chapter 173: Red and Blue Flags

Those who are good at attacking move above the realm, and those who are good at defending are hiding under the nine earths!

Although the light cavalry of the Sui army was mixed with about half of the recruits, most of them were also from Orion, and they all had some horse shooting foundations. This movement, although it cannot be said to be above the Nine Heavens, is also like a thunderous attack, and the momentum is overwhelming.

Tudi originally had a good idea, and he relied on his large number of soldiers and horses, and planned to make a four-bread raid and besiege this Sui cavalry. They can't do siege warfare, but they are proud of their riding and archery skills of the boar skin mòhé cavalry.

As long as he outflanked this riding grass, in his opinion, there was no need to waste his mind thinking about the next situation. As far as he knew, the Sui army in the city was only about 4,000 people, and at the moment there were about 2,000 cavalry.

Since this cavalry stupidly came out to fight with them outside the city, of course he was extremely happy, as long as he surrounded and annihilated these two thousand men and horses. At that time, there will only be 2,000 men and horses left in Buyeo City, and it will undoubtedly be very difficult to defend such a large city with 2,000 men.

At that time, he has more than 10,000 men and horses, even if he lacks siege skills, he will be confident to take it.

Maybe they won't even have to wait too long for them to spend the night in the city before dark. Heaps of treasure, food, and women were waiting for them.

But the cavalry in front of him surprised him, and a torrent of steel rolled like a sharp arrow. The whole heaven and earth seemed to be the sound of the roaring horses' hooves of the Sui riders, and as far as the eye could see, there were bursts of billowing smoke and dust stepped out by the horses' hooves.

The speed of the cavalry was astonishing, no worse than that of the mòhés they had been riding and shooting since childhood. And those crossbow arrows that could fire in bursts caused heavy losses to the entire unsuspecting Mòhé cavalry, and five or six hundred knights fell off their horses in an instant.

And they rode proudly, and he only saw dozens of people on the other side falling, which made him completely incredulous.

Cavalry hedge, just around the corner!

In the face of the endless three crossbow arrows, riding bows, round shields, and riding spears from the Sui cavalry, for the first time, he suddenly felt that the wild boar skins on their bodies were so simple, and even made him feel a little angry. Why did their bravest mòhé wild boar skin knights only wear wild boar skins, while those damned southern Sui people were all wearing black sè bright light armor, and the big bronze mirror could still reflect the faint bright light.

The long lance was so sharp, and the little round shield could hold off their arrows without mercy.

The four breads were encircled, but at this time, they became a ridiculous dispersion of forces, and they were calmly and sharply penetrated by the Sui army like sharp arrows. When the Sui cavalry had already penetrated the entire Chinese army formation, the several troops sent out by Tuli to join the siege had just arrived, and they did not even catch the horse hair of the Sui cavalry.

In just one round, they fell six or seven hundred mòhé boar-skin knights, while the Sui cavalry they left on the battlefield was only a few dozen. Such a large comparison of battle losses is something that has never happened in Tuli since he inherited the patriarch of the Sumoshui tribe. They are known as the strongest tribe in Mòhé, but the elite cavalry of the clan is only a few thousand, and now in only one round, they have lost six or seven hundred cavalry in a cavalry battle of more than 10,000 men against 2,000 men.

Rollin rode straight at the horse, holding his lance flat, and the flag officer and the flag guard closely followed him beside him. After more than a year, the three brothers of the Li family put on their armor again and went into battle, originally thinking that these two thousand soldiers and horses mixed with half of the recruits would fight against those mòhé wild boar skin knights from the nomadic people outside the city. But until they rushed past Mòhé's array, they couldn't believe what was happening.

Their 2,000 men easily broke through the array of scorpion cavalry, and more importantly, they found that their own men and horses were basically not damaged, while the mòhé cavalry fell in large numbers. As the cavalry captain of Zuo Yiwei Central Cavalry a year ago, they are no rookie in cavalry warfare. They even fought the kind of cavalry battles with the Turks with more than 10,000 people, but even that kind of big battle did not have the same impact on them as the battle in front of them today.

The three brothers were shocked, Luo Lin was only a sixteen-year-old young man, and his ability to lead and command troops was not at all as good as his performance in the army, which they had honed for many years in the army.

After Rollin led his troops through the formation of the Mòhé people, he did not immediately turn back and continue to charge. Instead, he continued to rush forward with his soldiers and horses, and after a long way of running, the herald beside him took two flags, held them high, and played a group of flags. ,

When the Sui army was fighting, it was originally the commander-in-command of the respective Chinese army to command the overall situation, and then through the drummer and trumpeter beside him, he sent orders to the army. In addition, there is a special team of standard-bearer heralds to give orders to the generals in several directions in the formation, and the generals pass on orders to the soldiers and horses of each unit through their own standard-bearer heralds. This is a complete set of three-level herald combat methods.

However, although the Sui army at this time used war drums and horns to give orders... And supplemented by the order flag to pass the order. However, the order clan of the Sui army was divided into several different banners according to the establishment of the troops in the army. Relatively speaking, it is still a little backward compared to the ordinary flag language of later generations, and Chen Kefu made some changes according to the flag language of later generations after studying the flag language of the Sui Army. There is a special herald flag-bearer, who holds two flags, one blue and one red, and has a complete set of gestures, and different combinations of gestures represent different meanings.

For specially trained heralds, they can pass on many military orders according to the flag, but Chen Kefu considers that it is impossible for everyone in the army to carry such a complicated thing. He divided the flag into two sets, one complete version, with dozens of gestures, which could clearly convey complete military orders to the heralds of another unit in the distance. The other set is a simplified version, which is specially used by the combat units of the troops, and like the drums, there are not many orders, only a dozen simple commands such as charging, stopping, left, right, and turning around.

But no matter what, this can also clearly convey the commander's orders in the rumbling hooves, especially when the cavalry troops are fighting, it is impossible to bring a full set of war drums, horns, gongs and other guys to the Sui army. The flag is lightweight and can express more meaning, so it is easy to use during the day.

The cavalrymen who continued to rush forward with Luo Lin saw the herald give the order to turn around, form a team, and charge in a triangular formation. One by one, the cavalry began to slow down without hesitation, turned around, and the rear team changed to the front team, completing a formation change in the run, and a triangular arrow formation full of black sè was formed again.

Although Luo Lin is younger than the three brothers of Li Chengyi, and even has less than a year of experience in the army, he has been following Chen Kefu for so long. He has always been Chen Kefu's personal guard captain before, and Chen Kefu has never been stingy in teaching this young personal guard captain, basically Chen Kefu's cavalry tactics that combine ancient and modern with three and two halves, Luo Lin almost can.

For Chen Kefu who likes to use Jingfeng's equipment advantage to hit the enemy, he has learned a trick that he does not fail. Although it was a cavalry battle, he did not blindly engage in hedging engagement, but after each charge, he tried to widen the distance between the two sides as much as possible, and then rewound the crossbow arrows to adjust the somewhat scattered formation in the high-speed charge engagement. And then again, I began to repeat the previous tactics of using a repeater with a repeater, then a bow, and then a rifle at a distance. Anyway, he just wouldn't stick to the knights of Mòhé boar skin.

What he really dealt with was not their long, sharp spears, but the crossbows in everyone's hands, against the mòhé knights who were only dressed in boar skins and had little iron armor.

This is the sharpest and most convenient way.

On the tower of Fuyu City in the distance, Li Benlei and several battalion commanders were actually watching the battle, watching Luo Lin below complete a round of charge so without delay. The old man couldn't help but be happy and said, "Luo Lin, this little cub is good, he already has a little bit of the handsome's method of using soldiers, it seems that he has been with the handsome for so long, and it is not in vain." ”

The other battalion commanders all looked at Luo Lin below with some envy, according to their qualifications in the army, several of them were also old men who broke the barracks. And when Luo Lin was the team, they were also the team, but Luo Lin was lucky, not only did he become the captain of the marshal's personal guard, but also promoted several levels in a row, and now he has become the commander of the elite light cavalry independent regiment, commanding two thousand elites. Maybe it won't be long before he can rise one step further and hang up the rank of brigadier general. Looking at them again, they are still lieutenant colonels and battalion commanders, and they can't help but be a little envious.

"General, let me lead a battalion of men and horses into battle. Now that Commander Luo has the upper hand, as long as there are two more rounds of charges like this, the morale of these wild boar skins will almost be gone. At this time, we went out of the city to attack them, crush them in one fell swoop, and then destroy their equipment. Wei Shanhu, the battalion commander of the divisional reconnaissance battalion who was transferred from the second division, couldn't help but plead.

Watching others gallop and make meritorious contributions there, but they could only watch themselves, this undoubtedly made them officers a little unable to sit still.

Li Benlei's eyes have been staring at the two warring sides, and his eyes are constantly searching for the locations of his three grandsons in the team. It's a pity that they are too far away, except for the vague battle armor that can be seen in one sè, and the rest can't be seen clearly which one is his grandchildren.

Fortunately, Luo Lin's kid played well, and after fighting for a long time, he didn't see many Sui riders fall off his horse, which also made his heart settle down a lot. At this time, when he heard Wei Manshan's request for battle, he muttered for a while and said, "Okay, you lead the people in the camp to prepare first, and when the time is right, you will be ordered to fight." …
