Chapter 158: Battle after crossing the river
After the 30,000 troops of Wenchou crossed the Yellow River, the first to encounter was Chun Yuqiong, who was Yuan Shao's southern general, and led 10,000 heavy troops to intercept Wenchou, accompanied by Jiang Yiqu and Han Juzi.
Chun Yuqiong saw that the back road had been cut off, and she was annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't stop scolding her mother! If you don't pay attention, you will be tricked! But it was because Wen Chou's army made a detour behind him, and there were no less than 5,000 infantry coming in front of him!
Chun Yu Qiongqiang fixed his mind, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but feel a wide in his heart. Kindness! Fortunately, the enemy army only has a few thousand foot troops! Scatter them and you'll win!
In order to boost morale, Chun Yuqiong turned his horse and said in a loud voice: "The rear retreat has been broken, and if the soldiers do not fight to the death, they will die and have no place to be buried." The enemy army in front of him was only a few thousand foot troops, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Rush over and kill! ”
"Kill!" 10,000 cavalry soldiers shouted in unison and began to charge the enemy troops in front! In the terrain of today's plains, how powerful and imposing these soldiers will be when they charge! But there are only 1,000 cavalry out of 10,000 cavalry! Most of them were infantry.
800 steps!
700 steps!
500 steps!
When he reached 300 steps, Captain Han Meng shouted: "The first tun of the Iron Gun Battalion, the defensive formation!" Gun Preparation! "This is a military camp newly trained and formed by Han Meng when he was stationed in Yingchuan under the guidance of Wen Chou, and the same military camp was also formed in Lu Liang's army, which has also been stationed in Yingchuan for a long time, and it was replaced by a flying spear battalion, all of which are based on throwing iron spears and javelins! The number of people is not very large, but there are only 1,000 people each.
The pikemen at the front immediately arranged their formations in the same way as they had been in their usual training formations. The 250 men were divided into two teams of 125 men each, one group of soldiers stood still, and the other group of 125 soldiers took half a step back at the same time and crouched down. Then two rows of soldiers neatly stabbed a spear in their hands. There was a shout in his mouth at the same time
"Kill".
In two rows, 250 spears very densely blocked the narrow road.
"Two, three, four, throw the gun in hand, ruler six (with the horizontal line as the ruler zero, directly above the ruler nine, each ruler is 10 degrees in geometry. In gun throwing training. In order to enhance the accuracy and power of projection, Wen Chou specially introduced the ruler into the training and taught the soldiers to project according to the ruler). The enemy rode to 100 paces and listened to Han Meng's orders! Cast together! Han Meng shouted again.
200 steps!
150 steps!
Chun Yuqiong's vanguard cavalry drew closer and closer, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves gradually approached. After all, the soldiers of the first company of the Iron Spear Battalion, who were responsible for blocking the attack, had not experienced a fierce heavy cavalry charge, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes, and the spear in their hands trembled slightly. When Han Meng saw it, he personally came to the front row with a spear. He shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet as a forest, immobile as a mountain!" ”
Hearing Han Meng's calm voice, he saw the captain come to the front row in person. The soldiers gradually settled down, their spears clenched in their hands, their eyes fixed on the approaching heavy horsemen.
100 steps!
Han Meng raised the spear in his hand to the sky and shouted: "The enemy army in front of the target, the 'rain of guns' tactics!" The second tun, throw a gun! The third fade. Shoot the gun! Fourth, throw a gun! ”
Three neat waves of throwing spears covered Chun Yuqiong's cavalry in the charge like a torrential rain. In a flash. The cavalry in the charge fell, and because of the excessive concentration of the Chun Yuqiong army, the 750 throwing guns were almost missed. Although the Heavy Rider was dressed in chain iron chain mail, the spear that fell from the sky with great momentum could pierce the iron chain mail without much effort. Some cavalrymen were killed on the spot with five or six guns in one person, while others were nailed together by two throwing guns. The ground is full of wounded soldiers and dead horses!
Only one round was projected down. More than 100 cavalry have been killed or wounded by a thousand cavalry, and Chun Yuqiong's eyes are red when he sees it, and he is furious! Damn! Han Meng wants to kill you all! Chun Yuqiong's mind was already filled with angry killing intent, and he couldn't care about this major casualty, so he shouted angrily: "Keep rushing for me." Rush ......"
Since it was the men and horses in the middle who were attacked by the "rain of guns", Chun Yuqiong's army was divided into two sections, most of the heavy cavalry was separated from the back, and there were only more than 300 horsemen in front. Hearing Chun Yuqiong's order, more than 300 horsemen in front of him rushed forward.
Okay, there's less than 100 steps left, and you're ready to go on a killing spree in no time! The hearts of these cavalrymen are already excited! But when they reached 20 paces, they were stunned by the sight before them, as the soldiers in front of them suddenly protruded 250 glittering spears, becoming a merciless trap that summoned death.
Knowing that there was a forest of spears in front of them to harvest life, these cavalry could no longer contain their momentum, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to charge forward. Getting closer and closer, the soldiers on both sides can clearly see each other's faces! A neat voice roared from the mouths of the soldiers of the two opposing armies at the same time!
…… Kill!
"Kill!" More than 300 cavalry of the Chun Yu Qiong army raised their spears in their hands and rushed forward like wolves foraging for food.
At a distance of 10 paces, 1,000 pikemen of the "Iron Spear Battalion" set up a tight defensive formation, the gun formation, under the leadership of Captain Han Meng, and a thousand spears with a length of one zhang spread out in front of them like a dense forest, and the sharp spear heads shone with cold light.
300 cavalry VS 1000 pikemen! The result is obvious, it is a heavy loss of cavalry! Of course, Han Meng's pikemen also suffered casualties, and at the moment of contact, nearly 100 soldiers sent were violently knocked away by the cavalry, but that's all, the pikemen quickly stabilized the situation, and the cavalry's charging power was also exhausted. And on the other hand
But it's "poof", "poof", "poof"!
The charging cavalry ran into the pikemen of the Iron Lance Battalion, and the cavalrymen were saddened to find that their spears were about three feet longer than their own cavalry, which was enough to make the heavy cavalry hate it. First of all, the horses under the seat were stabbed by dense spears, each horse was at least eight or nine shots, blood gushed like a spring, many horses fell to death immediately, and the cavalry who fell off the horse was not spared, the opponent's spears were two rows up and down, and people rolled down from their horses, just slammed into a row of spears below, and the result was either dead or seriously injured. As soon as the cavalry in front fell, the cavalry in the back rushed up again, and the same result happened again......
The sprinting heavy cavalry came in waves like a tidal wave, and the pikemen of the Iron Spear Battalion stood still like a rock. It didn't take long for the 300 cavalry to lose more than 140 horsemen, and the corpses of men and horses began to block the intersection, the ground was red with blood, and the surrounding air was full of bloody winds. The remaining 160 riders watched in disbelief as their companions in front of them continued to fall, and couldn't help but forcibly stop their horses. Then, I don't know which one was the first, turned the horse's head and fled behind, and the rest of the people turned back one after another as if they had come to their senses. (To be continued.) )
