Chapter 734: The Strongest Cavalry in Goryeo (3)
To be honest, just before the two armies collided head-on, neither really took the other side seriously.
Take the Goryeo border army as an example, the arrogance of the eight guards of Kaijing has long been learned in their long military career. And logically speaking, it is these border soldiers who are desperately fighting on the front line who are clearly sheltering this country, but these old soldiers who basically don't fight much are treated better than anyone else, which is precisely the worst thing that people can't be calm.
In fact, when the Goryeo border army faced the Goryeo Gyeong, which had a natural sense of superiority, it was mixed with a complex feeling of inferiority and pride. Low self-esteem is an innate and unavoidable by-product of survival in a hierarchical society with strong barriers, while pride is an acquired psychological advantage that arises after surviving countless tug-of-war with the Jurchen tribe.
It's just that in the past, everyone belonged to the same camp, and even if the contradictions were deep, it was impossible to draw a sword against each other. Fortunately, at this moment, the opportunity for the border army to sweep away the grievances has come.
Since you will inevitably become an enemy, then wash away your invincible arrogance with blood! This is the true thought in the minds of the vast majority of border troops at this time. Externally, they are always trembling, but internally, they are more sure than anyone else, and they are all open.
As for the more than 1,000 Song troops among the opponents, it turned into a secondary contradiction. One opponent is too few to pose a threat. The primary purpose of the ambush was to form a strong psychological deterrent to the rebels who were not strong-willed and wanted to join the Song army:
The mutineers must die!
"Boom!"
The sharp cone finally crashed into the torrent of war horses approaching at high speed, and in the wailing of countless war horses and the muffled hum of soldiers, the elite of the Han army, as the sharp knife of the Song army, pierced the charging formation of the Goryeo border army.
The experience gained in the confrontation with the Jurchen tribes, who were always weak in numbers and maintained considerable flexibility, made the Goryeo border army suffer an unspeakable dumb loss at the beginning, and the deliberately very loose formation could not withstand the impact of the dense cone formation of the Han army, and soon the center of the forward of the Goryeo border army began to dent.
That is, when the advance of the Song army had been inserted into the position of the enemy's more than a dozen horsemen, the commander of the Goryeo border army realized that he had made a big mistake, that is, to apply the experience of "hunting" the dexterous tribal alliance to the standing army of a huge country. What a stupid thing it must be.
The Song army, which was originally used as an embellishment by the opponent, seized the fighter plane and instantly burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness, from the forward as the tip of the cone to the bevel of the wings, it was simply sharp. Every time the loose Goryeo cavalry crashed into the front, it was as if they had hit a moving Great Wall of flesh and blood, and the ending ended in tragedy.
Countless individual tragedies were staged one after another, gradually rising to the level of the entire Goryeo border army. As the supreme commander of the battlefield of the Goryeo border army, General Shenhuwei couldn't hold back anymore and was about to scold. Suddenly, I saw his whole tense body relax again, and he said to himself: "If you don't make up for it, you won't be worthy of my position!" ”
"Close! Close! ”
The screams sounded one after another, so that the torrent of "fat" cavalry marching at high speed gradually began to "slim down", in the end, it was the Goryeo border army with rich actual combat experience, this kind of temporary change of formation with a great danger factor, it is not possible to have already messed up before the results have been achieved. However, the tactical literacy shown by the Goryeo border army at this time is worthy of making them have the capital to despise the Goryeo Jing army.
"Dog offal. It's a bit chewy! ”
After a small victory at the beginning, it was only at this time that the real pressure was overwhelmingly pressed towards the Song army's cone salient, and these elites of the Song army, who had followed Shi Wengong to seize the city yesterday, had gradually begun to suffer small casualties in the face of the recovering Goryeo border army. If Shi Wengong is here, he will witness his own casualties. I'm afraid that I will be so distressed that I will go back. These are all the top people he took a lot of effort to grab among the Liangshan field leaders in the tiger and wolf forest! If you lose one, you will lose one, and you can't find a target if you want to replenish it, because it is impossible to meet such a good source of soldiers again.
But war is like this, bloody and cruel, and it is not diverted by human will.
At this time, the scene of people turning on their backs is constantly reproducing every moment. Finally, the indomitable Song soldiers began to realize that their opponent was not at all the Minzhuang temporarily summoned in Wang Jingcheng. In the flash of light, many people have guessed the beginning and end of the matter, and they are likely to face the killer feature that the Koreans have been hiding all along.
"You can die, you can't coax!"
I don't know who burst out of his chest this declaration of death, and immediately received a strong response from his comrades, whether it was a rabble. It's still the killer weapon of the Koreans, they are all sticks in the mouth of the marshal! Can you still admit that the stick can't be coaxed?
At this time, the thunderous momentum of the two battalions of the Han army's iron cavalry actually overshadowed the Goryeo border army, which exceeded their number by more than fifteen times, and it was not until this time that this group of Goryeo people deeply realized what kind of people their opponents were!
"Phew, I'm afraid that each of you is a general of Mian Ni, and there are only a thousand people! It's hard to see how long you consume energy! ”
A general of the Goryeo border army who had worked hard to finally break through the corner of the Song army thought unexpectedly, at this time his idea was very representative, after all, the overwhelming superiority of 15,000 cavalry in numbers would definitely allow them to achieve the final victory. It's just that God is fair, and there is a certain gap between the ideas of the two sides and the actual situation, and the next scene suddenly made this person's jaw drop.
The reason why Shi Wengong handed over the main force of the army to Su Ding was not because he was forced to do so. This kind of rather bold delegation of power is definitely out of unreserved trust in Su Ding, after all, the two of them have been partners for a long time when they were still in Zengtou City, and Shi Wengong definitely knows this brother better than anyone else.
At this breathtaking moment, Su Ding, who had been hiding behind the Han army with the Goryeo cavalry, finally showed his fangs at this time. I saw that under the leadership of this cavalry general nicknamed Xiao Tianbao, the 2,500 knights of the Goryeo battalion actually broke away from the frontal battlefield and went to kill the Goryeo general who was watching the battle!
For a moment, everyone was stunned!
How so?!
Could it be that these thousands of menacing people are just a façade?! Song Jun, that's too extravagant!?
Divide the troops! Only the division of troops!
This is no longer a matter of tactics at all, but has risen to the question of whether it is right or not in politics.
The Lord will be attacked, who will dare to slacken? is to completely annihilate the group of Song people who broke into the battle, where can they withstand the bad impression of seeing death and not being saved? Although the general had 5,000 cavalry with him, it would undoubtedly be too naïve to think that he could remain indifferent on this basis.
As a result, such a spectacle appeared on the battlefield, behind Su Ding's 2,500 cavalry. Trailing with no less than 5,000 horsemen and hurriedly retreating from the frontal battlefield, the Goryeo border soldiers. Moreover, at this critical juncture, the main general of Goryeo moved, to be precise, the cavalry under his command moved, and there were about 3,000 cavalry guards, led by a strong general, separated from the main general's side. began to take the initiative to intercept Su Ding's strange army, and for a while it became a two-sided attack.
Su Ding, who was in a dangerous situation, saw this. is not surprised, because he knows that the fighter that turned the tide has finally appeared!
"Five hearts are uncertain, there is death and no life! Let's see who is the strongest cavalry on the peninsula! ”
All the planning, all for this moment, like the two battalions of Han troops fighting fiercely in the enemy's formation, his mission has been accomplished. Now the only hope is to see the main general Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong, who was carefully lurking behind the high ground, really lived up to Su Ding's expectations, and after keenly smelling the rare fighter, he finally rushed out of the hiding place like a cheetah, and flew towards the prey locked by him.
It turned out that the frontal breakthrough of the Han army. Su Ding's halfway attack, this qiē is just a pretense. He alone is the ultimate executor of the fatal blow.
……
"It's a pity, with such an outstanding general, he was also overwhelmed by the Khitans with the overwhelming power of Mount Tai for a hundred years, and it seems that there is no one in the Song Kingdom. It's that such people often don't have the opportunity to show their faces, and they all die of loneliness! ”
As a veteran of 30 years of military experience and the commander of Li Ziqian's hoeing plan, the new Shenhuwei General is not the kind of half-bottle of water with empty eyes, at least the opponent's reaction in the harsh environment still won his respect.
"No matter how good a general is, isn't he being played by the general?" The lieutenant sent a slap in the air at the right time.
The commander of the Goryeo border army glanced back at the lieutenant general and said slowly: "We have taken the lead. There is an overwhelming advantage in numbers, if it is five thousand against five thousand, I am not sure of victory, this person's expression is really surprising to me! ”
"In that case, General, let us bestow upon him the greatest honor for a soldier!" The adjutant general smiled maliciously, and it was obvious that the greatest honor he was referring to undoubtedly pointed to the "Horse Leather Shroud".
"Try to catch them alive! Such an outstanding general may be the favorite general of the Song Emperor, and killing him will only make the Song people's revenge more violent! ”
The surprise of the Han military camp has already shocked the general's heart, and it is rumored that Tuo Junjing, the first general of Goryeo, was defeated by the tricks of the Song people, and he himself was convinced before. But today, when I met its might, I knew that the legendary cowardly Song army still had a trace of the Han and Tang dynasties in him.
Looking at the lieutenant general's ignorant reaction, the general knew that the other party was not good at this martial artist, so he didn't say much at the moment, but said:
"That's it, and capture this person alive, maybe you can exchange it for an opportunity for peace talks!" After speaking, the general drew his long sword, looked back left and right, and said, "Kill the enemy with Ben!" ”
When the deputy general saw that the main general was going to go into battle in person, the whole person was stunned for a moment, this is not a negotiated road at all! No, there are still 3,000 elite horsemen in the team fighting with the Han army waiting for orders at any time!
"When encountering such an opponent, if you don't personally separate the male and female with him, and watch him die at the hands of a pawn, I will feel uncomfortable!" There was a scorching flame in the general's eyes, which was the instinctive reaction of a strong man when he encountered an opponent of equal weight.
Seeing that the main general exuded a strong fighting spirit, the deputy general did not dare to persuade again, after all, the last two thousand cavalry on his side at this time were the core of the core of the whole army, the elite of the elite, even if he encountered the 1,000 Song troops who broke through in a cone formation, it was difficult to say who would die. However, at this time, if it is used to solve the 1,000 sneak attacks of the Kaijing rebels, it is more than enough. Even if the opponent is Xiang Wang Reborn, I am afraid that he will be powerless.
Ha! It seems that King Xiang killed himself on the edge of the Wujiang River, and if he can force the Song Junmeng, who has the surname Shi, to kill himself on the side of the Han River, it will be a good story in the future.
