Chapter 194: Retreat from the enemy

The nomadic light cavalry pays attention to cavalry and archery is closely related to its own equipment, because there is no heavy armor protection, once the opponent enters a stalemate, the light cavalry loses its flexible mobility, and has to fight with the opponent in close combat, and the stationary cavalry fighting is the situation that the light cavalry does not want to see. At this time, if you fight in close combat with another cavalry, the victory or defeat depends on your personal quality, and the side with tall people, large horses, thick armor, and fast swords will naturally have the advantage.

Since Zhao Ta opened up the trade routes in Hexi, a large number of Hui people poured into Hedong and Hezhong to do business, bringing a large number of Hui horses, this kind of horse is taller and faster than the Mongolian horse and Liaodong horse, so the loyal army purchased a large number of equipment dragoons, and the special unit of the Guards Brigade naturally has priority, and they are the first to choose the good horses.

The Guards Brigade not only bears the responsibility of protecting the prince, but also the face of the palace, and of course has a soft spot for tall and upright physique when selecting, and it does not lose its strength, and it has an innate advantage against the enemy, and the probability of survival on the battlefield is also high, so in addition to special posts and needs, the officers and men of the Guards Brigade are half a head taller than ordinary people.

As for the armor, they don't have much advantage, they are all equipped with leather armor and iron helmets, but the speed of the knife is certain. Since a large number of Tangut craftsmen 'joined' the military workshops in the palace, the quality of their swords and guns has been upgraded to a new level, comparable to the famous 'Tangut Sword', representing the highest level today. The weapons and equipment of the Jin army are mainly from the Liao State, which is naturally not on the same level as them, and the cold weapons of the loyal and brave army are mainly sabers, which are much more flexible than spears in fast horseback melees.

In addition, the Guards Brigade had the advantage of having one more revolver than the others. In the American Westerns that once swept the world in modern times. The rider galloping through the Western Wasteland with a six-shot revolver has become an iconic image of American warriors. But this is the weapon that appeared as a weapon of self-defense. Changed the way the cavalry fought.

In the Mexican-American War, two companies of 300 dragoons of the U.S. army were attacked by 800 Mexican lancers. The revolver, which could shoot continuously, immediately defeated the spears, and the Mexican lancers lost almost three hundred men, while the American cavalry lost only fifty men.

The battle heralded a new era, with the Colt revolver becoming the world's first hot weapon capable of defeating spears and sabers in cavalry melee. Since then, American cavalry has often shown an unequal superiority over both the Mexicans and the Indians...

The surprise soldiers who pulled out the speed leader were suddenly attacked and there was a gap, and the Guards Brigade lined up in a sharp arrow formation and rushed over with this as a breakthrough, and the Jin army certainly did not sit still, and tried their best to urge the horses to respond. Thirty paces away in an instant. When they drew their knives and prepared to fight, they were plotted.

The sergeants of the Guards Brigade opened fire before the enemy and killed the enemy who posed the greatest threat to them, and when the two horses were staggered, they were already holding their swords in their hands, and they relied on their horses to cut the oncoming enemy off their horses, tearing a hole in the ranks of the Jin army. As the influx of the brigade of men and horses, the breakthrough became larger and larger, and Shengsheng cut the Jin army into two sections.

After coming out of the formation, the guards immediately separated from the left and right, and turned into two teams to outflank from both flanks, cutting off the Jin army of the brigade, forming two encirclements. They rode around the formation, like two long snakes entangled in their prey, constantly tightening their bodies, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. Trap the Jin army in it.

The room for movement is getting smaller and smaller, and the Jin army, which is trapped in the center, loses its ability to maneuver, and pulls out the speed to try to break the predicament. Several times he tried to lead the crowd to break through, but he was beaten back. All that was left was a bloody corpse. Looking at the enemy troops marching around the formation on horseback a hundred paces away, he suddenly found that this scene was like a hunting scene for himself and his brothers. It's just that they have become trapped beasts that are rounded up, and the fate that awaits them is to be slaughtered.

'Smack! As soon as a gunshot rang out, a Jurchen soldier fell again, and his face convulsed a few times involuntarily, he couldn't fight and couldn't go, and his companions fell under the enemy's cold gun one by one, this kind of cat-and-mouse 'play', they felt like a noose around their necks and could kill themselves at any time.

These Jurchen soldiers have been fighting for many years, and it is said that they have seen through life and death, but the process of 'strangulation' is too unbearable, shame, fear, unwillingness, and other emotions make them breathless, and the sense of suffocating oppression tears the nerves and makes people crazy, and some soldiers finally can't stand this torture and rushes up madly, but he soon knows how to write the dead word.

He tried to calm himself down and looked for the weaknesses of this group of gods. These people are not only super strong in battle, but also ruthless, they will kill people when they shoot, and they are not opponents in group fighting, and it is estimated that it is difficult to defeat the winner in a game... From the beginning of the battle to this moment, it was only more than half an hour, and more than half of his gang were killed and wounded, and he no longer hoped to sneak attack people, but pondered his own way out.

"It turns out that firearms are so powerful, and they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own people!" Not to mention that he really saw something wrong when he calmed down like this, he found that the enemy troops around him were very cautious in using firearms, and there was no need and certainty that they would never fire, so his opportunity came.

"Sons, follow me forward and fight out!" As soon as he figured it out, he immediately took action, and he was also worried that if the time dragged on any longer, his men might surrender. Because he knows that the Tao is respected by the strong in them, and it is not a new thing that they will be defeated and surrendered today, and they will follow the new owner to fight in the east and west tomorrow!

The besieged Jin Jun suddenly crashed into the north like a swarm of bees like taking stimulants, Shang Hu was startled, watching them burst out one by one, and his eyes were red to know that he was really desperate this time. He originally wanted to surround for a while and wait for the Jin army to finish their strength before attacking, so as to reduce his casualties, but he didn't expect them to be impatient first.

However, the speed of pulling out is good, if it is easy to cause accidental injury with firearms interception, Shang Hu urgently ordered to get out of the way of a passage to kill the enemy's edge, and then use a two-way attack to pursue, and then peel off the skin layer by layer, and divide the enemy into squads to annihilate the tactics in the movement, so that although it takes a little effort but once the gap is opened, the enemy will be in a hurry to flee, then there will be no more fighting spirit, only the part of being slaughtered!

This side was surrounded and pulled out of the speed to 'break through', Lin Shuo learned a lesson, no longer playing the game of grinding with running for his life, and launched an attack on the enemy with the squadron as a unit, they were like a sharp knife to quickly cut the remnants of the Jin army into several sections one by one to annihilate them. Of course, there are also those who take advantage of the chaos to run away, but Lin Shuo is not worried at all, there are still a bunch of 'non-human' things from the special combat team waiting outside, none of them will be kept, and they will lose their temper when they go back, so they should comfort them...

It soon got dark, but the battle ahead continued. Under the command of the light, the armies launched attacks on the Jin army again and again by means of wave attacks. When the two armies approached, the light cavalry behind the large formation formed two groups and advanced through the gap between the two columns of heavy cavalry in front, and then concentrated their firearms to fire heavily at the Jin army. Then, while still maintaining a neat formation, the first two columns of heavy cavalry withdrew, and then the light cavalry retreated in turn, and if the Jin army still did not retreat, then the order was given to let the light cavalry retreat, and the heavy cavalry would charge. Under the fire of the light cavalry, the formation of the Jin army will also be shaken by the attack of this prepared dense firepower, and sometimes the enemy can be scattered by this attack, and there is no need to carry out a surprise charge.

"Marshal, our army has suffered heavy losses, and we can no longer fight hard with the Khitans!" Wan Yan Lou said to Zong Han, who had a hideous face, that is, he was beaten back and forth, that is, he barely maintained it by relying on the strong strength of several tens of thousands of troops to fight in turn according to the battalion, but he had no power to fight back.

Now the Jin army of 50,000 troops has participated in the battle, and now more than half of the casualties of the Wanyan Tuhe Speed Department have been captured by 1,000 people, and they have been disabled and unable to fight again; Wanyan Saili was in slightly better condition, but it was also nearly a third of the casualties, and the main general Seri was wounded by a stray bullet and struggled to command the battle; The five divisions of Yeluma are now in front, and they are also complaining again and again, and have been broken through by the enemy several times, and if it were not for their own protection, the Chinese army would have been almost crushed; Pulling out the speed department as a rearguard, but the main general Qibing was ready to surprise the enemy's flank, but now he gave the signal several times, but there was no response from there, which made people wonder if he was still alive.

"Donglu Han has already taken Yanjing Mansion, and the troops have reached Zhongshan and Zhending, but we are stuck and still wandering in Xijing, what face do we have, should we give up attacking the Song Dynasty?" Zong Han said angrily, if it is really necessary for Han to not grab the jackpot, but he has nothing, where will he still have the face to sit in this seat.

"Marshal, now that the Khitan offensive is in full swing, we should avoid its edge, choose the opportunity to fight again, and don't be rash!" After Yan Lou persuaded again, he found out that after Zong Han was in power, he became more and more obsessed with power, and he fought to the death with the enemy regardless of casualties, to put it bluntly, he didn't want to lose all this.

"Yes, marshal, we can't fight so hard anymore, even if we can win, we won't be able to fight again, how to attack Song in the south!" Wanyan Xiyin also persuaded that he was smarter than Wanyan Lou, and saw that Zong Han was actually retreating, but the battle was like this, he couldn't go down the steps, so he quickly found an excuse for him.

"Well, but the enemy army is pressing forward step by step, once we retreat, its tail will follow, it will be more passive, and the battalion will be difficult to protect!" Zong Han pondered for a moment.

"Marshal, we can send a formation to retreat slowly to Baishuikou, where the valley road is narrow, and it is difficult for the brigade to spread, and we will definitely be able to get rid of the enemy army!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"The last general is willing to lead the army to the rear and cover the retreat of the whole army!" Seeing that Zong Han spit out, Wan Yan Lou hurriedly asked Zhan Dao, Zong Han sighed and finally nodded... (To be continued......)
