Chapter 244: Armageddon (4)
Unlike other side cavalry, the cavalry unit of 2,000 men under Su Jiao is a heavy cavalry, that is, this is an assault force with armor and halberds as weapons.
High-headed horses.
Heavily guarded horsemen.
There is also a halberd that is twice as long as a bronze sword, etc., such equipment is expensive, and the cost of a set of combat equipment is equivalent to the cost of fifty foot soldiers, which is still based on the Qin army's foot soldiers, if it is based on the Han soldiers, a cavalry is equivalent to the cost of seventy to eighty infantry.
Only Li Yuan had the courage to equip heavy cavalry, even if it was the first emperor's Meng Tian side cavalry, it was mainly lightly armed crossbow cavalry.
Li Yuan's purpose, of course, would not be limited to the civil war in the Central Plains, his long-term plan was to train a Qin army that could fight the Huns head-on, so as to defeat Maudun's confidence.
Su Jiao was full of spirits, and he was appointed by Li Yuan as the chief general of the heavy cavalry, which made him feel refreshed from the bottom of his heart, and this feeling had not passed for many years after Meng Tian was killed.
The people of Shanyue shouted in fear.
It's not that they haven't seen horses as animals, Lingnan horses are generally only used as a means of transporting goods, such as the Hetao horse, which is a head taller than the Lingnan bantam horse, but the Shanyue people have seen it for the first time. At the same time, the Qin army's heavy cavalry concentrated the horses and launched a group charge in the plains, which also made the Shanyue people feel novel and incredible.
The heavy cavalry of the Qin army was like a black torrent, unstoppable.
Su Jiao took the lead and directly knocked over several stunned Shanyue soldiers, like a dagger, stabbing directly into the abdomen of Shanyue soldiers.
Torrents are like a tide.
After being torn apart by the Qin cavalry, the formation of the Shanyue people was scattered at once, Mei Juan's headquarters was still behind, and the more than 2,000 vanguard soldiers of Mei Niu Calf fell into the heavy encirclement of the Qin army's infantry and cavalry.
On their attacking side, Xiangshang, it was Gan Yong who steadied his retreat. Gan Yong, who had been unrelenting in front, immediately switched from defense to counterattack after seeing the Sujiao cavalry cut off the rear road of the Shanyue people, and the Qin army's foot soldiers, who had been oppressed for a long time, burst out with their greatest potential at this moment.
"Attack!" Gan Yong shouted the order.
"Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not be drained, and death will not be truce!" Under the horn of the attack, the war songs of the Qin army rose one after another, and the uniform desolate singing of the men in Guanzhong overpowered the messy screams of the Shanyue people and the shouts of the Han army, which were much larger than their own numbers.
The plum calf fell into despair.
He didn't expect that it was still a big haode situation just now. It was reversed in an instant, and the Qin cavalry that appeared on the back road was like a bolt of lightning, cutting off the attack that the Shanyue people were proud of.
"Quick, go back."
"We're surrounded, run!"
The helpless shouts of the Shanyue warriors made the plum calf extremely irritable, and he wanted to win the first merit and show off in front of Liu Bang, the king of Han, but now, he has become a laughing stock. That's a big gap.
The plum calf is in a bitter battle.
Soon after Su Jiao cut off the Shanyue army, Mei Juan also got a report from the former army, and unlike the ignorant Mei Niu calf, Mei Juan had heard of the cavalry of the Qin State.
How to deal with this Qin cavalry that suddenly appeared. This made Mei Juan very sad.
The chips in his hand, in addition to the Shanyue headquarters and 4,000 people, only Liu Bang transferred over to temporarily belong to the Han army under his command of more than 10,000 people, what is the combat effectiveness of this Han army. Mei Juan only took a cursory look, and then she no longer had any hope, a group of people holding wooden sticks and hoes. Even if the shivering peasants are driven to the battlefield, they will only be slaughtered, and they will not play the role of defending against the enemy at all.
"Wait, the object of the slaughter." When Mei Juan thought of this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Order, the Han army attacked, intercepted and killed the enemy's cavalry, without my order, you are not allowed to take a step back, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Mei Juan shouted loudly.
"The last will obey." Hearing Mei Juan's order, the three Han army generals who were sent over looked bitter, and were assigned to Mei Juan by Liu Bang, which is still to blame for their lack of hard backstage and low skills, and now Mei Juan's meaning is obviously to let them be cannon fodder and attract Qin Qi's attention at any cost.
――。
The battle situation on the right flank is tilting towards the favorable side of the Qin army.
Li Yuan, who commanded in the middle, put his mind at ease, Han Xin has gradually had the demeanor of a famous general when he was embattled and ambushed on all sides, what he needed was the opportunity to exercise and improve, Li Yuan hoped that in the battles again and again, Han Xin could further improve himself, and in the future decisive battle with the Huns, Han Xin would be the most trusted commander of the Qin army.
"Wuhou, the right flank is coming, the left flank of the Han army is very closely connected with the junction of the Chinese army, we can't find the breakthrough point for a while, and now the Chinese army of the Han army plus the left wing troops A total of 70,000 people are pressing our army head-on." The horse galloped, and Qin jumped off the horse and returned loudly.
The Han army's left flank commander Jin Shu acted very carefully, his left flank was almost on a parallel line with Liu Bang's Chinese army, which made Meng Hu, who hoped to open a gap at the junction, have to slow down the speed of the assault, once the 2,000 cavalry fell into the heavy encirclement of the Han army, even if there was an advantage in speed, the result was very dangerous.
"General Meng, you quickly lead the cavalry of your headquarters to reinforce General Su Jiao, and crush the Shanyue people in front of you, so you don't have to worry about the task of taking over Liu Bang and Jin She here." Li Yuan ordered.
The advantage of cavalry lies in the assault, since Liu Bang has taken precautions, Li Yuan decided to plan and transfer the Menghu side cavalry to the side that can play the most role, and the Shanyue people are very afraid of the unfamiliar type of cavalry, which is the biggest winning weapon of the Qin army on the right flank battlefield.
"Order Zhang Ping, Feng Xuan, and Cao Xin, each leading the men and horses of their headquarters, and go out with Benhou to meet the enemy!" Li Yuan let out a loud shout and urged the fiery red sweaty horse under his crotch to gallop forward.
The two armies faced each other.
The brave wins, since the crossing, Li Yuan has always rushed to the front, with his own battlefield performance to inspire the soldiers under his command to move forward bravely, bravely kill the enemy, after becoming the Shenwu Marquis, the general small battle basically does not need him to fight on the battlefield again, Han Xin, Wang Shang and other generals can directly level the opponent, this time with the Han army's decisive battle, Liu Bang is going to be desperate, Li Yuan decided to fight in person, to inspire the morale of the soldiers.
"Wuhou, Wuhou, invincible! Invincibility! Seeing that the Qin army's "Li" character was moving forward, the Qin army's generals raised their arms and shouted one by one.
At this moment, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army, Li Yuan was not a high-ranking Shenwu Marquis, but a young man who rushed to kill in the enemy formation with a team of generals on a white horse, a young lieutenant who fought back-to-back with soldiers at the head of Xingyang City, and a bloody man who dared to kill Xianyang with only a few thousand men.
Zhang Ping's blood was boiling, his chest was like a big drum beating, he opened his mouth wide, panting heavily, but he couldn't shout a word.
He only knew that the pace needed to be fast, and if he was faster, he must line up in front of Li Yuan, and if the Han army wanted to assault the Chinese army, he had to ask him if he agreed.
After the victory in Wollongong, Zhang Ping was promoted to the line of fire because of his military exploits, as a partial general, his foot soldiers in his hands were now restored to two captains, a total of more than 10,000 people, among the infantry generals, only Wang Shang and Jiang Yu were below, and this time, Wang and Jiang did not go out with the army, Zhang Ping led the heavy responsibility alone, and once again took on the heavy responsibility of heading the enemy.
"Lao Zhang, you are running too slowly, I am the best at this." A young and energetic voice sounded in Zhang Ping's ears.
Ba people, this is Feng Xuan's troops.
Zhang Ping glared back viciously at Feng Xuan, who ran in front of him, and finally shouted: "Feng boy, what are you angry, no matter how fast you Ba people run, you can only knock piecemeal on the side, and it is still my foot soldier who blocks the enemy in the front." ”
Zhang Ping was promoted, and Feng Xuan, who made greater contributions than him, is the same, the son of Feng Quji, the general of the Qin State, has now completely walked out of the shadow of his father and uncle being killed, and his experience in Ba County has made him grow from a noble son of Guanzhong to a trusted leader of the Ba people, not long ago, Luo Shi, one of the seven surnames of the Ba people, has married his daughter to Feng Xuan, and this marriage will undoubtedly increase Feng Xuan's prestige among the Ba people.
――。
Liu Bang frowned.
The unfavorable news of Mei Juan's engagement made him feel uneasy, and this uneasiness was an intuition after many battles, and even Liu Bang himself couldn't tell if it was weishenme.
"Ah Ying, there is nothing changed in Jin She, right?" Liu Bang asked.
"King, General Jin is not far from our Chinese army, and the last general has already sent a sergeant to go, so he will not let Qin Gou take advantage of the loophole, this time, even if he uses people to fill it, he will have to make Qin Gou pay the price." Xiahou Ying stared at the bloodshot bull's eyes, and replied with a hoarse voice.
The Han army had 50,000 troops.
Xiahou Ying was divided into ten divisions, each of which was commanded by a school captain, except for one left to protect Liu Bang's safety, the remaining nine were all incorporated into the attack queue by Xiahou Ying.
Liu Bang nodded and ordered: "Ah Ying, wait a while, you will lead an army to rush up, be sure to find the Qin army's Daxu, I don't have to worry here." ”
"Ah Ji, you be more careful, the Han army will move with me, when the time comes, if you can't see it, just retreat!" Xiahou Ying's expression was complicated, and she lowered her voice and called Liu Bang's nickname.
"You and my brother, in today's battle, we should live and die together, how can we retreat!"
Liu Bang shook his head, and said solemnly: "Ah Ying, Li Thief has always won with odds, and it is estimated that he will repeat his old tricks in this battle, we have suffered several losses, and we can't eat it again this time." You will attack, don't care about me, just keep an eye on the Li thief, this battle, if the Li thief doesn't risk his life, it is his luck, if he dares to venture into the battle, it is all the blood, and it is worth it to replace him. ”
For Li Yuan, Liu Bang has a monstrous hatred in his heart.
This kind of hatred, with the suppression of repeated defeats, with the death of Fan Xu, Cao Shen and other Han army generals one by one, became more and more intense, which also made Liu Bang become like a patient who was exhausted, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
