Chapter 255: The Pioneer Battle of the Bridge
"It's an enemy soldier! They're going to take the bridge! Someone exclaimed.
"That's fast!"
"Is it the Youzhou Army?"
"There shouldn't be a dark horse in the Youzhou Army, right?"
"It won't be ......," the soldiers speculated.
Listening to the chaotic discussion and exclamation, a fire of ignorance suddenly rose in his heart: "What are you yelling! Hurry up and form a whole team, the enemy is cavalry, the number will not be too many, even if General Chun Yu can't win, plus the backup will kill them! No, Hugh blames Lao Tzu for being welcome! ”
There were many veterans in the Jizhou army, and under the command of the overseers, they quickly woke up from the initial surprise, and under the command of the junior officers, they were rearranged into columns, and the elite quality was fully displayed.
But no matter how good the tactical literacy is, it is impossible to regenerate the lost physical strength, and after running a few steps, the soldiers are out of breath, and then, seeing the smoke and dust left by the main force gradually drift away, the smoke and dust on the opposite bank disappear from view at a faster speed.
In the sky ahead, countless reeds were trampled flat, and countless wild birds were startled and flew into the sky with their chirps, like a cloud that would happen.
After a long time, accompanied by the faint sound of shouting and killing, the high-pitched horn sound exploded like a dragon, shaking the small river, which was no more than a few feet wide and no deeper than one person
"It's a fight...... I wonder who has the upper hand? ”
"The Youzhou army also came from afar, and the physical strength should be evenly divided, and there are many of us ......"
"Don't forget, Gongsun Chan still has a partial division in the plains! If they had come, the journey would have been much shorter than ours. ”
Movement can be heard for miles, and shouts of killing can be heard. There are at least a thousand or more people, and it is clear that the two armies have already started to do so. With a bit of uneasiness. A little frightened, the soldiers turned their heads again.
"Don't say it. Let's save effort and hurry, look at the face of the Overseer, aren't you afraid of death? The old junior officer reminded everyone in a low voice.
When the brothers looked back, they saw that the face of the leader was pale, and he looked straight ahead, his lips trembling slightly, and he looked like he was trembling with anger. I don't know which unlucky guy was targeted by him! Everyone had a chill down their backs, clenched their weapons, and shrunk their necks to speed up their pace.
Overseers are not a big job. But since the chief general, General Chunyu, had entrusted him with the responsibility of collecting the defeated soldiers, he could exercise the commander's order to kill anyone he considered cowardly or hesitant in the name of deserters, and at this time, he must not touch his bad head.
In fact, if anyone dared to come closer, they would find that the Overseers were not trembling. Rather, it was muttering.
"It can't be him, it shouldn't be him, and even if he comes, it shouldn't be so coincidental......"
The military position is not high. But the military situation he knows is definitely much more detailed than that of ordinary soldiers, at least. He knew that Jizhou was facing the enemy this time. It's not just Gongsun Chan, there's also an uninvited villain!
Friend or foe. No one wanted him to come, and no one thought he would, but he did. After throwing Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and even Yangzhou into chaos, he unexpectedly crossed the Yellow River, and then disappeared into the 'man-made' wilderness of Bohai and Leling.
If there is no doubt who is most likely to appear in this most fatal place at this most fatal time......
After all, that person is famous for being good at grasping fighter planes, and similarly, the black dragon horse under his crotch has also burned Luoyang City.
The sound of the horn in front of us is getting louder and louder, more and more urgent, the sound is urging people to grow old, and the sound is shocking!
Pull's eyes widened violently, and he stood up from his horse, as if that way he could see the enemy clearly. Actually, there is no need to look at it, he already has an understanding in his heart, it is Taishan Army and Wang Pengju!
……
"It's not the Youzhou Army, it's the Taishan Army, it's the Taishan Army!" Han Juzi realized the truth earlier than Zhao Zhao, because the first horn was sounded at the same time as he and the galloping enemy.
While blowing the horn, he saw a large flag wrapped in smoke and dust, a large flag with the word 'Han' in black letters on a red background fluttering high in the middle of the procession, and two slightly lower flags accompanied by left and right, as if guarding the main flag.
In fact, in a sense, those two flags do complement each other with the Chinese character flag, the hussar general, the champion Hou, and the person who shoulders these two titles is the most loyal and reliable minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty, the Optimus Giant Pillar.
Even Han Juzi, who was born in half of the Huns, knows this, these two names are the nightmare of his ancestors. If there were no two names, maybe the Huns would still be at ease in the desert, and where would it be their turn to get the barbarians of Xianbei who could not be on the stage?
Trembling and fear enveloped him at the same time, Han Juzi clenched the scimitar in his hand, sweating profusely.
"General, there are a lot of empty horses in the enemy formation, at most a thousand people, similar to us!"
The captain of the scout and Han Juzi are of the same clan, and the grassland cavalry from Bingzhou is far superior to the riders of the Central Plains in terms of combat power and reconnaissance ability. You don't need to look at it with your eyes, you can tell the details of your enemies by just telling them from the sound of hooves
Measure.
The cavalry under his command had the Hun cavalry from Bingzhou, and the original cavalry of Jizhou, after discovering the traces of the enemy, he brought all the surplus war horses, left nearly half of the Jizhou cavalry, and took the grassland cavalry to take the lead.
By the time the cavalry suspected of being Taishan arrived, the Xianrui under the command of Han Juzi had already passed the dilapidated boundary bridge and completed the formation on the east bank of the river.
Finding that the Taishan cavalry was getting closer and closer to him, and getting detailed information, Han Juzi naturally had no reason to retreat, he waved his hand violently and took the lead in attacking the enemy.
Cavalry fights against each other, and speed comes first. If you stick to the bridgehead and watch the enemy crash into you, before reinforcements appear, the vanguard cavalry will be crushed by the enemy's horses' hooves.
But both sides pulled up the speed to hedge, and the results were very different. Ordinary training, the equipment of both sides, the quality of the mounts, and the commander's dispatch level will all be the decisive factors in victory or defeat.
In these aspects, Han Juzi is very confident, even if the enemy he faces is the world-famous Taishan Army.
The steppe people, but they all grew up on horseback, how could they lose to the Taishan army, which even had to borrow cavalry, than cavalry?
Riding and shooting? That kind of tactics is to bully and bully the infantry, not to mention the half-hung Taishan people, even if it is the legendary white horse righteous servant, there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Kill, kill!" Han Juzi brandished his war knife and roared loudly.
Close, close.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had narrowed from five or six hundred steps to two hundred steps.
Suddenly, something felt wrong, the enemy's ranks were getting looser and looser, and the gap between the horses, from about two feet at the beginning, was widened to two feet, and it continued to increase, wider and wider, more and more sparse, and the gap was bigger than he could have imagined.
Cavalry battles, in loose formations?
Does the other party know how to use soldiers?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw that the gap suddenly became larger, no, it should be said that the entire queue of the enemy formation was neatly divided into three parts, the two teams on the flanks rushed forward, and the middle lane dragged all the way back, like a poisonous scorpion wielding a giant claw!
The tactics of controlling the cavalry and gathering and dispersing freely surprised Han Juzi first, but what surprised him even more was still behind.
The exposed Chinese army actually began to slow down!
Slowing down while hedging? The enemy's head must have been trampled by the horse's hooves, or he would have liked to be trampled on himself, otherwise how could he have made such stupid moves one after another? However, as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, Han Juzi's eyes suddenly widened!
It wasn't an ordinary cavalryman, but a moving jungle of steel, a big hedgehog! If your own cavalry hits it stupidly, you will definitely be hit to the head and bleed, and you will be bruised all over your body!
"Raise your shield...... No, dial the horse! Completely instinctive, Han Juzi howled loudly, and while shouting, he flicked his horse and quickly rushed to the opponent's flank, trying to turn into a crab as well, avoiding the enemy's Chinese army.
"Dial the horse, dial the horse......" The speed of the cavalry battle was too fast, and the banner was of little use, and the soldiers shouted in unison, spreading Han Juzi's order.
In an instant, thousands of grassland cavalry turned around, either following Han Juzi himself and facing the enemy's left flank, or in a hurry they ran against Han Juzi.
The technical content of changing formations in the charge is very high, and it is undoubtedly tragic to want to imitate it without practicing it beforehand. Some people judged the wrong direction, some people reacted a little slowly, and they didn't have time to turn their mounts, and they all ended up in the same way, and rushed to the war horse in front of them in a daze, knocking their companions out of the air, and broke a proximal end.
Of course, they themselves were not much stronger, and in the mournful roar of the war horses, they fell with a bang, and the smoke and dust were mixed with blood, like mist.
No one would complain about Han Juzi's indiscriminate command, especially those who rushed to the front row, and the orders given by his own general were quite timely and correct. The Chinese army dragged behind by the enemy did not hold a cavalry spear or a lance, but a strong crossbow!
The crossbow bolt reflected the cold light, revealing a cold murderous aura, and no one would doubt the huge lethality brewing in it.
In order to deal with the cavalry of the Youzhou army, Han Juzi made sufficient preparations, and the riding shield he prepared was much more lenient than the usual one, and he also explained a lot. Although it is a wooden shield, the thick cowhide covered on the shield surface turns the wooden shield into a composite shield, and the defense power is greatly increased.
However, the goal of his defense was to mount a bow, not a strong crossbow.
At a distance of about 100 paces, unless you are holding an iron shield or a large oar, nothing can stop the killing of a strong crossbow!
Dealing with Han Juzi, who was in chaos, the Taishan Army had no intention of leaving his hands at all.
"Collapse, collapse, collapse!" The sound of the pine strings like Huang Zhong Dalu sounded sharply, and the crossbow bolts made of stainless steel swept the death storm into the ranks of the Jizhou cavalry, turning their already chaotic formation into a pot of porridge.
Blood splattered, and along with the rising dust, turned into a pink mist and rose in a curling way.
The two wings of the Taishan army formed a dense array of sharp arrows, and with the momentum of lightning, they plunged headlong into the red mist.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker. (To be continued.) )
