Chapter 172: The Destruction of the Baotai Army
"I'm going to kill him!" As soon as Gao Biao's words fell, Xu Biao behind him replied loudly, Gao Biao just nodded, and before he could say a few words, Xu Biao had already urged the horse out of the battle and rushed out of the army two feet away. k update
"Drum cheers!" Gao Zhong looked at the back of his own general, raised his hand and shouted, but he made a mistake in his busyness, forgetting that the prince in his army thought that thing was cumbersome and inconvenient to carry, and under normal circumstances, he did not use the drum as a trumpet, but used the trumpet to communicate with each other. He shouted out today, and his subordinates were stunned, we don't have this activity? Fortunately, the captain of the pro-soldier who sat down was clever, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his communication soldiers to blow the brass trumpet in unison, and came to a 'victory song', although it was not as shocking as the drum, but it sounded a little imposing, and it was finally not cold.
According to the equipment configuration of the loyal army, the cavalry weapons are only equipped with a short-handled Lianzhu carbine, a sabre, a dagger, and a number of bullets, and the captain and above officers have an extra revolver, and when they reach the command level, there is no carbine, and no one has a long-handled cold weapon from top to bottom.
Xu Biao's guy is known as the first stubborn in the loyal army, a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, no one in the whole army dares to talk back to the prince except him, of course Zhao Xin is not counted, but this does not mean that he is stupid, on the contrary, this kid is still very smart, good at using his brains, or the prince will not let him lead the teaching team, out of the battle he remembered that he had a saber on his body, and forgot to borrow weapons from General Gao, but at this time he had already run dozens of steps, and he couldn't go back to get it! Otherwise, when it comes to the confrontation between the two armies, he is ready to fight alone without bringing weapons, and he went back to get it again, and it doesn't make people laugh and drop his jaw, how can he be in the loyal army in the future, he Xu Biao can't afford to lose that person, so he simply rushed up without even pulling out the saber.
"Let's get the name together!" On the other side, Xia Jun watched an empty-handed second stunned man come over on horseback, stood on his horse, and pointed a knife at Xu Biao with one hand and shouted.
"Xu Biao, the first commander of the Dragon General of the Great Song Dynasty, who are you?" Xu Biao also reined in the horse twenty steps away, and replied with his fingers Xia Jiang still looking like a hanger, but when he saw the big knife in the other party's hand that was long and two palms wide, he knew that he was afraid, and he couldn't help playing a small drum in his heart, and his feet were sweating.
"I am the first general of the Xia Guobao Thai Army Division, try your best to fight Guli, do you dare to fight with me!" Trying to make a loud reply, the momentum was overwhelming.
"Oh, a little shrimp dares to be arrogant, even Brother Cha cut off his head like Lao Tzu here!" Xu Biao pulled out the saber and shouted, but looking at the saber in his hand compared to others like a toothpick, the momentum was much weaker, I really wanted to pull out the pistol first like the prince and collapse the one opposite, but I felt that my face was thinner than the prince, and I really couldn't make it, so I could only make a louder voice and be stronger, thinking about how to take this kid down with a knife.
"You all aim at the opposite Xia general for me, if Commander Xu is in danger, give me a shot and kill him!" Gao Pet took the telescope to see the situation on the battlefield clearly, as a general from a traditional military general, he knows the truth that an inch is long and an inch is strong, not to mention the strength of the horse, that is, the two are cut on the ground, whether in weight or power, the saber is not a one, and it has to be split under one move, and Gao Pet has to take some precautions.
But Gao Biao's worries were superfluous, Xu Biao, this kid pulled around, regardless of whether people understood the vernacular or not, provoked the desperate Guli to jump like thunder, slapped it on the horse's ass with a big knife, and rushed up. In addition to the left-handed, in order to facilitate the control of the knife, the knife is generally right hand and left-handed, and the effort Guli is also an ordinary person, the flat-end big knife came up, and the Song general in his eyes is a clay pot seller, holding a knife and daring to fight with himself, he does not chop or cut, as long as the moment when the two horses are in the stirrup, he hands the big knife forward, and he can use the horse's momentum to cut the Song general's waist into two sections, and he thinks so and does so. …,
Seeing that the other party moved, Xu Biao immediately urged the horse forward, and the distance of twenty steps was instantaneous. According to common sense, the two generals are taking over from the right, but when the two horses are about to collide, Xu Biao suddenly pressed the horse's head to the left, and suddenly hit the direction, and the moment when the two horses staggered became to take over from the left, he threw the saber in his right hand, took the knife with his left hand, and waved it back. Where did he think that Song Jiang would be cunning and cunning, would play with a piece of soup, and wanted to change his moves, but the long knife with the handle of the weapon was heavy, and it was in the opposite direction, how could he have time to return his hand, only to feel that the back of his neck was cold, and he was dizzy, and he saw the horse's hooves running in front of him!
"General Xu, mighty!" The loyal warriors saw that Xu Biao had beheaded the enemy general in only one round, morale was greatly boosted, and the cheers were like thunder, Xu Biao used the 'knife changing technique' to cut off the opponent's head, and his body was also covered in a cold sweat, if he missed this time, it would not work next time, and he could only win the opponent like the prince 'shameless', he went back to the stirrup to hide and bent down to pick up the head of the man who tried to make the coulee and tied it to the horse's neck, and the horse returned to his own phalanx, and the war horse of the coulee carried the headless corpse and walked away...
"The first and second battalions of the tiger will meet the enemy!" Zhao Lian sat in the middle army, watched the left flank of the Xia army dodge by, and about 2,000 Xia cavalry rushed out in formation, launched an attack on his right flank, and ordered the tiger generals defending the right flank to be on guard.
Seeing the Chinese army's cyan flag flashing, Liu Bao and Zhou Jun immediately mobilized the troops and horses to camp the ground, the first two columns of soldiers dismounted, squatted down 20 steps forward to prepare for shooting, the battalion artillery team stepped forward to fix the gun position to load ammunition and light the torches, and the machine gun team arranged the position with a density of one every 20 steps, and arranged a defense line 100 steps wide.
The land of two arrows is only more than 300 steps, the effective range of the foot bow is only 100 steps, the range of the cavalry is shorter than the foot bow, the cavalry of the Xia army must rush within 100 steps to cause damage to the enemy, so as soon as the cavalry comes out, they rush forward, and their tactic is to use the bow and arrow to cause confusion to the opponent, once there is a weak place in defense, they will take the opportunity to rush into battle, break through one wing, and break the entire large array.
In the past, the Song army used infantry as the main force, and this tactic was very effective, but today they are facing a loyal army with firearms as weapons, and this tactic is debatable. The cavalry of the Xia army is indeed a good hand on the horse, within a short hundred steps, the horses have changed from slow to fast pace, and the horse speed has been increased to the fastest within two hundred steps, it is really a thunderous hoof, and the momentum is like a rainbow, if the opponent's military discipline is slack, at this time it was frightened by this unstoppable momentum and panicked, and abandoned the formation and fled.
The junior officers of the Loyal and Brave Army are all veterans who have been in battle, while constantly repeating the password, while comforting the nervous recruits, reminding them not to panic, more than half a year of harsh training, military discipline has been deeply rooted in the minds of every soldier, intensive training allows them to instinctively operate the guns according to the command, and the officer's composure also makes them feel at ease.
The red flag flashed, and the twenty guns of the two battalions took the lead in firing, because they were hussar battalions, so they were equipped with rapid-fire guns that were easy to maneuver, and the first round of firing was a solid bullet, and the fist-sized iron ball whistled out, making several bloody alleys in the charging ranks of the Xia army. This is really who meets who is unlucky, next to it is a death, hit the head and become a headless ghost, hit the chest is cold, the power of the iron ball on the ground is still undiminished, touch the horse's leg immediately it becomes lame, next to the horse's belly is intestines through the belly rotten. At this time, the speed of the war horse is like the traffic on the highway, the front one brakes sharply, and the rear one wants to stop but it is not easy, that is, a series of rear-end accidents, but the car has become a war horse.
Although it was hit suddenly, but the Xia army's offensive did not abate, in the bump and bump in the Xia army cavalry rushed forward fifty steps, this time next to each other was a rain of bullets like locusts, in the salvo of machine guns and rifles, more people fell off their horses, the deafening sound of guns made the war horses panic, even the war horses arranged in the rear army of the Fuzhong cavalry were shaking their heads and irritable. The cannon was reloaded, and within a hundred paces its power was exerted to the extreme, and countless small projectiles erupted from the muzzle of the cannon once again exerted its might, shooting the attacking Xia soldiers into a sieve and the horse into a colander. …,
"Stop shooting!" The Xia army that can enter the front of the loyal army is already one of ten, and because of the sparse Xia army formation that has changed too much, the power of the artillery has also decreased, and the Xia army knights were also stunned by the tragedy in front of them, and finally reined in the horse, turned the horse's head and galloped back, the bullets and shells here were not blown by the wind, and the shooting was stopped in time, and some of the recruits who 'entered the play' also pulled the trigger again, and the officers had to give these people a whip.
"It's over, that's it!" Liang looked at the panicked remnants who fled back, and couldn't believe that in front of him, in less than a quarter of an hour, there were so many people left, but they couldn't even touch the opponent's hair.
"Commander, what to do!" Liang E's subordinates pushed down the commander, who had not yet recovered from the shock, and asked.
"Immediately send someone to ask the prince for help, the loyal army appeared in the camp, we immediately withdrew into the camp, held on to the village, and waited for reinforcements!" Liang Er's heart is bitter, his point is not an ordinary back, the tragic situation on the battlefield made him understand, this is the legendary 'heavenly thunder', he is the real loyal army, the main force of the Song army, their first battle target is selected in the army to leave the camp, the main force westward, their own isolated when appeared, indicating that people are prepared, the purpose is to eat their own soldiers and horses, the retreat must have been intercepted, if you blindly break through, being chased and killed is a dead end, returning to the camp is the only choice for self-preservation.
Resentment replaced reality, and the Song army on the opposite side saw that their army was retreating, and the whole army had already gone out of the battle, and the horses rushed into battle, "Yang Jin, you lead three thousand cavalry to break off, cover the army back to the camp!" Liang sighed, looking at his subordinates, he could only sacrifice them to buy time for himself...
