Chapter 256: Defeated in a battle
Before the actual contact between the two armies, the well-trained Taishan army had perfectly adjusted its formation, and the two wings spread out to the sides, first in a frontal formation, and then gradually changed into two oblique triangular attack arrays.
At the tips of the two triangles, a black dragon foal and a yellow horse are respectively, and under their leadership, the two iron triangles are unstoppable.
Han Juzi had not received training in the orthodox art of war in the Central Plains, but in his years of warfare, he still gained enough experience to make corresponding judgments on the enemy. There is no doubt that this formation of the enemy is not a random arrangement, but a mature tactic
If the enemy fully unleashes this tactic, the encounter will turn into a terrible disaster.
The two triangular attack formations, like two scythes, were pushed flat along the edge of the battlefield, and their own cavalry was like weeds, cut to pieces. If you're lucky, you might be cut off the battlefield and turned into skirmishers; Those who are unlucky can only be oppressed and gather in the middle of the two sickles.
But what is frightening is that the two sharp knives are not the most terrifying killing machine of this tactic, the real killing machine comes from the enemy's Chinese army! The Chinese army, which accounts for nearly half of the total strength, is closely connected with the tail ends of the two sharp knives, and the front platoon has successfully broken through, and the Jizhou cavalry, which is oppressed together, will become their target!
The enemy troops of the Chinese army came forward here, accompanied by the roar of heavy crossbows, sending the dead into the ranks of the Jizhou cavalry, exacerbating their confusion and taking away the lives of the unfortunate
As the distance approached, the riding bow also began to exert its power, and the power of the white feather was not as strong as that of the strong crossbow made of jīng steel. But the victory is in jīng quasi-and intensive.
The crossbow is like a heavy hammer, smashed down with a hammer. Unstoppable, the damage may not be great. But every time it is smashed, it will deal a major blow to your morale; And the white feathers flying in the sky are like continuous raindrops, pervasive, making it impossible for people to dodge. Every time you chase in the gap smashed by the hammer, you can reap a lot of results every time.
Han Juzi noticed that there were many white horses in the enemy's army! There is no doubt that this is the tactic of the Taishan army's jīng heart drill. In order to make up for the lack of Bai Mayi's weak ability to attack from the front, they adopted the method of using both bows and crossbows.
The tactic was successful.
Someone used a shield to mount, but he became the target of a strong crossbow, and the shield broke and killed;
Someone tried to escape, but when they turned their heads, they found that there were people in front of them, left and right, and where was there a place to escape?
Someone was desperate and let the war horse gallop on its own, and then. or crash into their companions, and turn into unjust souls together; Or hit the edge of the crossbow arrow, and fall into the dust with a splash of blood.
No one pays attention to the comrades who died tragically. No one has that time to spare, and in fact, the survivors of the chaos will soon follow in the footsteps of the Precursors. The enemy's ranged attack is not the only means. With the current situation, the moment of contact with the Chinese army fighting in the array. It's the moment when the whole thing collapses.
The only way to reverse the situation is to break those two scythes!
"If you don't work hard, you'll die. Come with me, they don't give us a way to live, let's fight with them! ”
Han Juzi had a chance to fight, but his brother blocked the way, and before he could run to the position to meet the enemy, the cavalry on both wings rushed up and was killed to the point of flesh and blood.
You don't have to think about it to know that in this tactic, the one who serves as the two-winged sharp knife must be a great general. Han Juzi even guessed the identity of one of them, the world-famous Wang Pengju, isn't he riding a dark horse and competing for the first place in every battle?
It was precisely because of this realization that he adjusted his direction once, avoiding the black horse and facing the yellow horse, but was blocked by the rebels, and he was unable to meet the battle for a long time, so he could only watch the brothers under his command being killed and bleeding and crushed!
"Fight! Fight! ”
"Don't run around the people in front, either face the battle, or retreat to the periphery, don't get in the way, don't get in the way!"
The guards shouted in unison, the steppe cavalry didn't pay much attention to the formation, as long as they ran in the same direction, even if there were some small stumbles, with Jīng Zhan's riding skills, they could be successfully overcome. But the current situation is that everyone's strength can't be used in one place, otherwise two troops of similar size, how could they be beaten so badly in one face?
"Cut!" Han Juzi snorted coldly, now is not the time for mother-in-law, you must block the enemy's sharp knife, if you can't open a gap, your thousand pioneers will be completely surrounded and slaughtered!
The vanguard battle had already been lost, but there were still a thousand cavalry follow-up troops behind him, as well as about 8,000 foot soldiers. It doesn't matter if you can't win by yourself, as long as you can delay for a while and wait for General Chunyu to come to reinforce you...... No, even if it is to give General Chun Yu time to take a breath and let him queue up!
If the vanguard collapsed like this, and let the Tarzan army cross the river with a great victory, and rush to the marching army after five days of rapid march......
Han Juzi shuddered violently, and a chill appeared on his back, quickly expanding to his whole body, freezing his skin, blood, and even bone marrow!
He would rather that his reaction was not so fast and his understanding of the art of war was not so deep, so that he could compete with Wang Pengju with peace of mind. It's not like now, before the fight, the body is already stiff, and the heart is half dead.
"Right wing, attack the right wing with all your might, break the right wing and you will survive!"
After drinking, Han Juzi slammed the reins, brandished his scimitar, and slashed head-on at a cavalryman who was frightened and was scurrying around.
The sharp blade of the snow shredded the leather armor of the rebels like a long whip, leaving a two-foot-long cut on the opponent's chest. Blood spurted to the ground, and the wounded screamed and swirled, falling down, and blood splashed all over Han Juzi's face like a waterfall.
"Cut, those who stand in the way, those who escape, all of them are cut by Lao Tzu!" He wiped a handful of his face with his left hand, roaring wildly, and his face was hideous.
"Kill, kill!"
The blood of the incorporated steppe cavalry was stimulated, and more and more cavalry followed behind Han Juzi, and at the moment when they faced the enemy general, nearly three hundred cavalry actually joined the counterattack, and in terms of numbers, they had already surpassed the enemy's right flank. Like a mace, it slammed viciously into the sharpest point of the scythe.
Through the blood-red mist. Han Juzi saw the enemy general, that was his inevitable goal!
The other party doesn't look like a rider in the usual sense. It's not that he doesn't know how to ride, or that he can't do martial arts, the fur of that yellow horse has lost its original light, and it is about to turn into a jujube red horse. The blood was all dead in the robes of the enemy generals! This man is undoubtedly a fierce general.
It's just that, as a general who commands the light cavalry, there are too many bits and pieces on him.
He held a spear in his hand, and a crescent halberd hung on one side of the horse's body, and a mallet on the other. Behind the thick shoulders. The halberd blades of several short halberds were exposed, swallowing cold light as the war horse jumped. In addition, he had a bow hanging from his waist and an arrow on the other side.
After fighting for so many years, Han Juzi has met many opponents, including Han people, Huns, Qiang people, Xianbei people, etc., and he has seen all kinds of strange enemies. I have never seen such a weapon that is not enough.
Riding a battle is just a knife on a horse, with so much burden, is it enough to eat and support? Perhaps, this person is a halfway monk? Martial arts are good. But haven't experienced actual combat?
Han Juzi had hope in his heart, his legs were clamped violently, and the war horse under his crotch neighed. At top speed, accelerate again. Like lightning, he pounced on the enemy.
The main general took the lead, and the morale of the Jizhou cavalry was greatly boosted. Shouting loudly, he followed behind Han Juzi like cháo water, rushing forward.
"Good time!" Seeing the enemy's main force coming head-on, Tai Shici was not surprised, raised his hand and waved it violently, and the spear in his hand turned into an angry dragon, roaring and pounced on the enemy formation.
Without waiting for Han Juzi and the others to try to resist, Tai Shici wiped his hands behind his back, and in the flickering cold light, several short halberds were already in his hands, and then, the cold light spun violently, turned into a storm, and let out a terrifying 'whine' sound, rolling and chasing after the angry dragon.
The next moment, he leaned down, and his hands were copied separately, and the crescent halberd and the horse lance were already in his hands, and then, with a loud shout, he urged the yellow horse to crash into the enemy formation like a tiger on the mountain.
How fast the cavalry hedged, all this happened between lightning and flint, Han Juzi and his cavalry neither reacted nor could parry.
Han Juzi was first pierced through the chest by the angry dragon, and with a puddle of blood, he flew up from the galloping warhorse, drew an almost straight line of tricks, and slammed into the guards behind him, knocking the latter off his horse together.
Before the cavalry could exclaim, the tornado of halberds arrived. With the power of rotation, the halberd roared, and with the sharp halberd blade, it cut through the leather armor on the cavalry, swept the blood into the wind, and smeared a layer of bright red on the periphery of the tornado.
The next moment, Tai Shici, who was combined with halberds, came, like a howling hurricane.
"If you're not afraid of death, just come up!" Tai Shi Ci shouted a fierce battle. With a swing of the halberd in his left hand, he knocked several scimitars handed to him into the air; The lance in his right hand thrusted, picking up the red-eyed cavalryman who was at the front, and threw it at the other cavalrymen who were slightly behind, smashing them on their backs.
"Prancing Horse, happy, happy!" The blades of the lance and the halberd stabbed out a brilliant silver flower in the sunlight, and there was no one in the place where they passed.
He led the team, rampage through the enemy formation, and wherever he passed, the blockers were invincible!
The cavalry under his command is as majestic as a tiger and as imposing as a rainbow!
In cavalry warfare, the most important thing is speed, with the unstoppable Tai Shi Ci rushing forward, although the cavalry on the right flank faced a relatively tough enemy, the advance speed was not slower than that of the left flank.
Suffering heavy losses and dying, Han Juzi could only watch his horse being cut down by a sickle, then collapsed under heavy pressure, and finally turned into meat under the hooves of the enemy's Chinese army.
Those who were lucky enough to escape scattered in all directions, and did not dare to turn their heads back, completely losing their courage.
And the enemy's cavalry had no intention of chasing and killing, but after defeating the main force of the Jizhou vanguard, they quickly formed a team, crossed the tattered boundary bridge, and met their own follow-up troops.
And then ......
No more, Han Juzi swallowed his last breath and fell into endless darkness.
However, the outcome of this battle was nothing hidden for him, he had predicted it long ago, and like his own fate, there was no light at all. (To be continued.) )
