Chapter 384: Bloody Battle
In the battle on the battlefield, the first to do it will be the first to show the flaws.
Han Shizhong smiled.
In the confrontation on the battlefield, the Jin army lost a step in momentum, so it took the lead in attacking, and it was only too late to break the disadvantage in momentum.
What a victory!
Victory is a step by step, step by step. Constantly accumulate small victories, and finally transform from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, and completely lay the foundation for victory.
"Ready, the whole army is ready!" Han Shizhong shouted.
"The whole army is ready!"
"The whole army is ready!"
From top to bottom, orders are constantly passed on, and they are passed to the most basic squad leaders, squadron leaders, etc.
And the infantry in front, the cavalry in the rear, nervously waiting, the cavalry of the Jin army reached the firing range.
And at the forefront, there were five bronze cannons, and eighteen guns without conscience, and some musketeers with muskets waited quietly, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and then raised the muzzle, the muzzle, and looked closely ahead.
It is false to say that he is not nervous, the generals of the Song army, who commanded the artillery and musketeers to attack, sweat broke out on their faces, and their hearts were even more terrified. But I still suppressed the fear in my heart, and kept thinking about the strategy of attacking during training.
"The cavalry of the Jin army is powerful, our cavalry is far inferior, if you want to resist the cavalry of the Jin army, only firearms, only infantry and artillery coordination, only cavalry and infantry cooperation!"
"The artillery should be at the forefront of the battlefield, relying on the power of gunpowder, to give the cavalry a blow to the head!"
"The cavalry will be the best shield for the artillery and the gunners!"
Although before the battle, the simulation was trained countless times. However, this was the first time on the battlefield, especially in the face of a cavalry onslaught.
"Ready, launch!"
At one hundred and fifty paces. Five bronze cannons, with a roaring sound, one by one the cannons were ejected and shot out, and they immediately exploded in the cavalry, and where they swept, the war horses neighed, and the cavalry of the Jin Army rolled off their horses one after another. The so-called armor. The so-called cavalry, in front of the bronze cannon, looked like papier-mâché. Knocked down and destroyed.
In just one round of effort, nearly 100 cavalrymen of the Jin Army were killed or seriously injured.
And the sound of violent explosions. The sound of fire. It made Jin Jun even more frightened.
The casualties of 100 cavalry, for the cavalry of the 7,000 gold army, were only small losses, which were not at all significant, but the loss of morale was serious. And the soldiers of the Jin Army had a trace of fear, and the momentum of the forward impact gradually slowed down.
Distance from the Song army formation. It's less than a hundred steps.
And at this time, the conscience cannon was fired.
No conscience cannon when shooting. Instead of aiming at the front, he specially extended the strike, firing at the central position of the Jin cavalry, specifically killing and injuring the Jin army. Compared with the bronze cannon, the conscienceless cannon is more powerful and destructive, exploding in large pieces, the only drawback is that the range is too short.
Then there was the sound of firecrackers, and this was the fire gunner's attack.
These guns are very inferior, of very poor quality, with a limited range of within 100 paces, and after 100 paces, the lethality is limited.
"Bang bang bang!"
The musket made a crisp sound, the projectile had a strong ability to break armor, and if it didn't hit, it was enough, and the armor was pierced as soon as it hit, and a huge blood hole appeared, and one by one the cavalry of the Jin Army fell off their horses.
The shooting accuracy of these musketeers was extremely poor, but fortunately, the cavalry of the Jin Army was relatively dense and the lethality was still fierce.
And the distance of 100 paces is also the limited attack distance of the Jin army's cavalry with bows and arrows.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
It's the sound of bows and arrows going into the flesh.
At the moment when the firecracker hit the cavalry of the Jin army, the firecracker was also shot by the Jin army, and there was a taste of defeat and defeat, but he was hit by the firecracker, and he would definitely die; And was shot by a bow and arrow, as long as it is not critical, there is a possibility of treatment.
At this point there were already fifty steps.
At this time, the cavalry, which was behind the infantry, quickly dispatched, galloped on horseback, and rushed forward to kill.
Speed is the first priority of cavalry.
A cavalryman who has lost his speed is not much worse than a lamb to the slaughter.
And the distance of fifty paces made the Song cavalry rush away, rushed towards the Jin cavalry, and then fought.
There is a big gap between the cavalry of the Song army and the cavalry of the Jin army, and the biggest gap is cavalry shooting. Many soldiers of the Jin Army were able to gallop on horseback, shoot targets a hundred paces away, and shoot arrows very quickly; And the Song army rode on horses and shot fixed targets, which were inefficient, not to mention riding horses and shooting arrows.
And when the cavalry of the Song army and the cavalry of the Jin army clashed, the first round of accurate shooting of the cavalry of the Jin army would make the Song army lose a large number of people, the morale of the army would be greatly weakened, and the formation would be chaotic, giving the Jin army a chance to chisel through the big formation and break the big array!
The lack of cavalry and archery was the biggest deficiency of the cavalry of the Song army.
The improvement of the level of riding and archery takes a long time and is carefully cultivated; And after careful cultivation, it may be lost in the first battle; may have lost seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and eight, and did not win the battle, but collapsed for thousands of miles, and there was no pants left.
In order to make up for the lack of cavalry shooting, there were bronze cannons, fire guns, and conscienceless cannons.
Because of the lack of time, the bronze cannon may only be fired once, the fire gun may only fire one shot, and the conscienceless cannon may only fire one shot, but this is enough.
Relying on these firearms, he did not seek to kill the enemy in seconds, but only to offset part of the power of the cavalry's cavalry, and then the cavalry rushed forward and played hand-to-hand combat with the cavalry of the Jin Army, playing chisel piercing. Relying on the cavalry in hand-to-hand combat, relying on the numerical superiority, the Jin cavalry was consumed to death, which was the best strategy for the weak cavalry and the strong cavalry.
"Boom!"
Like a raging flood, like a rushing river about to sweep away everything.
The two cavalry forces collided in an instant.
In this era of the prevalence of cold weapons, if you want to completely defeat the enemy and completely destroy the enemy, you can only fight hand-to-hand combat, rely on blood bravery, rely on murderous spirit, rely on the spirit of not being afraid of death, slash and kill the enemy, move forward bravely, and crush the enemy with supreme courage.
And so it is a victory.
And in the battle, as long as one side shows fear, shows fear, as long as it is caught by the enemy instantly, this fear will be magnified. Huge psychological pressure is formed, which leads to the collapse of the enemy, and then it wins.
The cavalry of the Song army stormed. The weapons are unified and simple, the combat method is direct and clear, and the spear in the hand is flat, assassinating the cavalry of the Jin army. You don't need to use strength, you only need to use the inertia of the war horse, and the impact is enough, and the powerful impact is enough. Enough to pierce enemy cavalry.
And under the huge force of the shock, the gun head will fall off, eliminating the force of impact on the arm.
And then. The horse moved forward, and the saber in his hand slashed and slashed at the cavalry of the Jin army.
This is the two-plate axe of the cavalry of the Song army, no matter what tactics and means the cavalry of the Jin army adopts. It is to use these two tricks to attack the enemy. One spear, one sword, know the enemy.
The cavalry of the Song army formed a cone-shaped battle formation in groups of three, and rushed forward, breaking all obstacles.
The cavalry of the Jin Army, which came from the impact, was screaming, and the weapons in their hands were varied. Some are spears, some are halberds. Some are heavy, some are maces, and there is no corresponding formation, all relying on the tacit understanding of ordinary time.
This is also one of the characteristics of Jurchen.
The Jurchen cavalry fought with few battle formations and few clear tactics, relying more on the tacit understanding between each other and the experience of hunting and killing in peacetime.
It looks chaotic and unorthodox, but it hides a killing intention, and as long as it runs slightly, it will burst out with a strong destructive force.
The cavalry of the Song army fought by strict discipline, the courage to rush and kill, and the explosive power of thousands of people combined into a whole in a simple and direct way of fighting; The cavalry of the Jin Army relied on the experience of rushing and killing, the tacit understanding formed for a long time, and the confidence in the cavalry charging and killing.
"Boom!"
The two cavalry rushed together, spear stabbing, long knife slashing, all kinds of weapons flying, cold-blooded and cruel, violent and simple.
Every moment, there are soldiers who fall off their horses and go to death one by one.
Life is cheap!
Death is insignificant!
The fierce fighting continued, and the blood and fire burned fiercely.
The two golden armies collided, with a baptism of blood and fire, passing by, and the formation was slightly scattered.
But both sides did not get too entangled, but passed through the enemy formation, in the blank area, gathered again, the sword flashed, the murderous spirit soared, turned the horse's head, and fought together again.
The cavalry is always after speed, and without speed, the cavalry is nothing.
"Whoosh!"
At the moment of turning the horse's head, the cavalry on both sides pulled their bowstrings one after another and shot at their opponents.
Some of the cavalrymen, after being shot, still rushed forward with arrow feathers on their bodies; Some cavalrymen were shot in the vital position and fell off their horses and died.
The two sides brandished their weapons and charged together again.
Rushing back and forth, casualties, and deaths, until one side lacks persistence and goes to rout, or is completely wiped out.
Some of the flavor of spelling chess pieces!
But on the battlefield, who is not a pawn?
And at the moment when the cavalry of the Jin Army returned to their bodies and rushed to kill. A stream diverted from it, and about a thousand cavalry rushed towards the Song infantry, trying to kill the Song infantry.
At this time, more than 3,000 Song army infantry quickly contracted the formation, forming a hedgehog formation, and defending closely.
More than 1,000 spears stood outside, about three zhang, and the spearheads pointed directly at the outside, intertwined with each other, avoiding the front, avoiding the back, dense with each other, as if sealed. As long as the cavalry of the Jin Army dares to attack, then be mentally prepared to be pierced.
If the cavalry attacks the spear array, the huge impact force will certainly pierce the cavalry, but it will also kill the spearmen.
This kind of confrontation is itself a burning of jade.
It's just that cavalry is worth more than spearmen relatively speaking, and this kind of jade burning is not cost-effective in itself.
The cavalry suffered somewhat!
The Jin cavalry urged the war horses to spin outside, and a stalemate was formed for a while, obviously these Jin cavalry were still afraid of death, or they still did not have the courage to burn the jade and stones, and they did not have the courage to desperately attack the spear array.
It's just that on the periphery, constantly wandering, constantly shooting with bows and arrows, trying to break the fighting spirit of the Song army's infantry formation.
"Whoosh!"
One by one, the spearmen fell to the ground and were accurately shot by the Jin cavalry.
After the death of a spear, there was soon a substitute, so that the spear formation, which remained rigorous and unbreached.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
And at this time, the bronze cannon was powerful, specifically bombarding the cavalry.
And the fire gun sounded more frequently, sending out to shoot the cavalry of the Jin Army.
The battlefield quickly tugs into a stalemate! (To be continued......)
