Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fighting for Life
Those who have heard of 'Shuo Yue' know that the Tiefutu and the kidnapping horse, the Tiefutu soldiers wear iron helmets, wear heavy armor, and the war horses are connected by leather cords, and the horses are rejected, which is the trump card in the Jurchen cavalry. In the field, Tiefutu was responsible for the frontal assault on the enemy's formation, passing through an iron wall, Jedi dust, overwhelming, and there were light cavalry composed of fine cavalry and knights who were good at fighting, running and shooting on both wings.
Tiefutu has always been the existence of the personal soldiers of the commander of the Jin army from all walks of life, and will only be dispatched in the decisive battle, first surrounded by two wings of light cavalry, and then Tiefutu is put into battle from the front, and the frontal breakthrough is implemented. Since the Jurchen army, relying on the cavalry cluster composed of Tiefutu and light cavalry on both wings is invincible, and it exerts the mobility and assault power of the cavalry to the extreme.
Zhao Yong had seen the same equipment of the Xia Army's Iron Harrier, at that time, the prince did not dare to use the tactics of attack, but avoided its edge and introduced it into the valley, hungry for more than ten days before moving, but when the Xia Army broke through with it as a striker, he still did not dare to fight hard but let the road open the road to kill it with artillery, and only then did he destroy the Xia Army's Iron Harrier.
Zhao Yong looked at the Tiefu map, which was also reloaded, and found that there was still a difference between the two, the iron harrier used a leather rope to tie people to the horse's back, and even if he died, he would not fall off the horse, and still charged forward. Tiefutu, on the other hand, uses a leather cord to connect the horse's chewing mouth, but such a small leather cord can make the horse unable to change its direction no matter how panicked it is when it is disturbed by the impact. In this way, the strong impact of the heavy cavalry phalanx was ensured, so that they could repeatedly win more with less.
There are many iron horses rolling in the face. The veterans of the Krüd Army from the Loyalists remained calm, while those recruited were uneasy. kept twisting his butt on the horse, but with the power of military discipline, he still maintained a battle formation and didn't dare to move. But in the Liao State, the new soldiers had long heard of the prestige of Tiefutu, and now they were panicked, on the verge of collapse, ready to flee at any time.
In fact, in addition to the real swords and guns, the charge of the heavy cavalry group also has a powerful secondary effect, that is, a huge psychological shock to the opponent. Not daring to use its direct confrontation made these soldiers flee from the battlefield. If the opponent's training level is not high and the discipline on the battlefield is lax, it is very likely that the opponent will be intimidated by this overwhelming formation, so that the formation will be scattered and the enemy army will completely collapse, and the retreat will occur, and the opponent's heavy cavalry and its follow-up troops will rush into the formation without any confidence to do any resistance.
"Zhang Ting. You lead the 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade Hussars to prepare to attack with me, remember to line up in a loose formation, don't hedge, and drag the iron float on the front! Zhao Yong looked at the rapidly approaching Jin Jun Tiefutu and said with a frown. Zhang Pu, you lead the dragon cavalry to block the light cavalry of the Jin army with a goose wing array, and cover the Guiyi army and other troops to withdraw from the battlefield immediately. Retreat to the Valley of the Hundred Wolves to meet us! ”
"Du Shuai, you lead the dragoon to go first. Zhang Ting and I blocked the pursuers! As soon as Zhang Pu heard this, he knew that Zhao Yong wanted to risk his life to buy time for them to retreat. But riding lightly against riding heavily is a matter of life and death!
"No need, just have me here, you all go!" Zhang Ting stopped the two brothers and said, they are all in Beifu, and their relationship is quite good.
"Execute the order, if I die, tell the prince, I miss him!" Zhao Yong looked at the two of them with cold faces and said, "Take the gang as a unit and attack with me!" Zhao Yong no longer paid attention to the two, lifted his horse forward, drew his knife and shouted, and his personal soldiers immediately lined up behind him, forming a charging formation.
"Take care, you have something to say, you should tell the prince yourself!" Zhang Pu looked at Zhao Yong and knew that he had made up his mind, so he dropped a sentence and commanded the whole dragoon to get on the horse and prepare to meet the enemy.
"Take care, everyone!" Zhao Yong looked at the two subordinates who had adjusted their formations, and said silently in his heart, he knew that there were many auspicious battles in this battle, especially the hussars behind him, but he had to do this, and those new troops were about to collapse. Experience taught him that the time when the two armies suffered the greatest casualties in a confrontation was not the time of battle, but the moment of retreat, that is, the food on people's plates, how to eat as they wanted, and to retreat, someone must block the pursuing enemy.
The first to rush out was the motorwheel convoy, their task was to block the rapidly approaching Tiefutu with heavy fire, the reason why the cavalry was invincible was by its powerful impact, and speed was the basis for increasing the impact, as long as the Tiefutu could not raise the speed to the maximum, then its power would be greatly reduced.
Ten cars seem very small in the thousands of horses, but they are the real killing gods of this era, they line up in a crazy spray of bullets, and the oncoming golden army galloping on horses is constantly swept down. Tiefutu is connected by three horses, charging side by side to improve the impact force, a horse in the formation was shot forward and fell, his companion immediately did not hesitate to draw a knife to cut the connected leather cord, the group is still forward, the most pitiful is the rider who fell off the horse, he is wearing nearly a hundred pounds of double iron armor, even if he is not injured, without the help of his companions is not able to stand up at all, the horse is like mud is his final destination.
Chen Cong personally operated a machine gun, this veteran who had followed the prince from the army in Xiangyi still remained calm in the face of the overwhelming enemy army, as if he was just a flock of sheep on the grassland, and the earth-shaking sound of the horse's hooves beating the earth was like a 'rumbling' war drum, as a veteran who had experienced the bloody battle of Yamato Fort, he knew that he was facing an unprecedented crisis today.
Although the Jin army's Tiefutu men and horses were wearing heavy armor, they were still unable to resist the whistling bullets under the frantic strafing of the machine guns, and the fallen war horses became a natural obstacle, but the war horses connected to each other could not be so flexible, in order to maintain the formation, the Jin army riders had to slow down and dodge.
"Captain, the trumpet sounds, let them withdraw!" The ammunition man on one side shouted loudly in Chen Cong's ear, according to the plan, when they were about to collide with the Jin army, they should quickly turn around and return to their own team from both wings.
"Get out of the car!" Chen Cong shouted to the ammunition man and driver, who was still manipulating the machine gun and did not stop firing.
"Captain!?" The pilot and the ammunition man looked at their captain in surprise, but there was no trace of fluctuation in his face blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, and several other motorcycles had begun to slow down and turn, but the captain did not have the slightest intention of turning around, and jumping from the high-speed chariot was also a matter of death.
"Get out of the car!" Chen Cong shot the last bullet in the chamber of the gun, got up and replaced the driver, "Brothers, live well, and say hello to me when I see the prince!" The two realized something, but before they had time to say anything, they had been pushed down by Chen Cong, and the wheeled car rushed forward quickly towards the Jin Jun horse team, and the other retreating motorcycles saw that some comrades had fallen off the horse, and immediately approached to rescue the two, when they looked back at the captain, they saw that the captain had already driven the carriage towards the Jin Army General Flag, and the carriage staggered and ran for a while after hitting a team of iron floating figures, and a huge explosion sounded under the flag of the enemy general.
In order to protect the secret of the machine gun, each machine wheel is equipped with an explosive device, and once the machine gun has to be abandoned, it will be blown up.
"Kill..."Zhao Yong witnessed the whole scene of Chen Cong's sacrifice of life and righteousness, drew his knife and shouted, and immediately rushed forward to rush out.
"Kill...", the comrades-in-arms used their own sacrifices to win a rare fighter plane for everyone, all the people in the crowd of grief and anger roared, and followed the commander to rush out of the army, now only two hundred steps away from the enemy, the sergeants of the first brigade and one battalion rushed to the front with the fastest speed to shoot every bullet in the gun, the horse speed to the highest, drew out the war knife and braved the rain of arrows to meet the Jin army...
The two armies finally collided together, the collision between the Kryu army in leather armor and the Jin army wrapped in the iron shell was like an egg hitting a stone, and the casualties of the battalion rushing in front reached 80 percent, and the commander of 400 people, less than 50 people survived, and it was already abolished, but it was this collision with the determination to die that also blocked the pace of the Jin army's charge!
"Oh, this... This is truly an outlaw army! Wan Yan Xian was also shocked by this amazing collision, since Tiefutu became an army, no one dared to wipe its edge, and fled in despair, but this army dared to fight for their lives, which had to make people respect.
"Dutong, the enemy army has routed the cavalry on the left flank and broke through to the east!" Just as Wan Yan Xian was also sighing, the dragoons of the Krup army also began to move, and the first brigade and three battalions launched a surprise attack from the flank under the leadership of the commander Peng Jun, cutting the outflanked Jin army light cavalry into two sections, opening a breakthrough; At the same time, the 2nd Brigade blocked the Jin Army from the right flank, covering the Shunyi Army and other units to break out.
"Hold on with the whole army, defeat the enemy in front of you, and pursue the enemy!" Wan Yan Xian also listened, and understood that the enemy army wanted to drag himself and cover the escape of the brigade, so he immediately ordered the whole army to rush up and quickly defeat the frontal enemy with the momentum of Mount Tai.
"Capture the thief and capture the king, follow me forward!" Zhang Ting saw the Jin army handsome flag swinging, the Jin army soldiers immediately divided into several teams to surround them, once Tiefutu lost the speed advantage, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, think about wearing a hundred and ten pounds of armor, where is there any flexibility, it won't take long to exhaust the physical strength, but it has become a group of clumsy iron people, now the terrible thing is the infantry army that is pouring up, if the cavalry is deep in it, it will also become fish and meat to be slaughtered... (To be continued.) )
