Chapter 902: Peerless Battle, Destruction!
The Iron Horse Cavalry was unexpectedly hit like never before, and in just a moment, more than three hundred Iron Horse Cavalry fell under the horses, and the cavalry who fell off their horses were almost all stabbed to death by the pikemen in an instant.
The cavalry behind the iron horse rode without knowing what was going on, they only saw a large number of companions in front of them falling from their horses for no apparent reason, and they also saw those heavily armored horses fall like evil spirits, all of them showed rare surprise.
The Yan army did not give the iron horse time to hesitate at all, the shield bearer relied on his strong body and strong strength, protected his body with a shield, the mountain roared and the tsunami, and he advanced hard and decisively, and the hook and sickle gunners and pikemen followed closely to the left and right, using the huge tiger-faced shield as a cover, trampling on the corpses of the Wei cavalry, pressing forward step by step, and the spear was like lightning.
The strong iron horse rides, and at this time, the people turn over on their backs, and the unexpected defeat makes their formation chaotic.
"Forward!" The roar of Tie Kui, the commander of Linyang Pass, was heard in the Yan army's array, and this special legion, commanded by him personally, was full of energy and sounded like a tiger's roar.
"Stabilize the formation!" There was also a shout from the Iron Horse Riding Formation: "Chop the gun!" ”
Sure enough, it was worthy of being the strongest cavalry regiment in the Yan Kingdom, and after suffering a heavy blow, it only stabilized its surprise in a moment, and the commander of the Iron Horse Cavalry quickly saw the doorway of the Yan Army, and knew that the key to the problem was on the hook and sickle, so he shouted loudly, shouted, and ordered the Iron Horse to cut off the hook and sickle with a war knife.
The threat of the hook and sickle to the iron horse is almost deadly, not only can it break the horse's legs, so that the iron horse can ride without a war horse, but it can also tear off the helmet of the heavy cavalry.
One of the most terrifying reasons for the Iron Horse Cavalry is that the whole body is protected by heavy armor, and it is difficult for swords and guns to penetrate.
The reason why the Qing army was able to kill and injure the iron horse and ride hundreds of cavalry before was completely relying on some brave soldiers to drag the iron horse down alive, and then entangled with the iron horse on the ground, tearing off the helmet and killing, but the formation of the Wei army's iron horse riding was extremely rigorous, and they took care of each other and fought together.
However, the use of the hook and sickle can take advantage of the situation to tear off the armor of the heavy cavalry before they can react.
Advance with shield soldiers to protect the advance, the hook and sickle gunner broke the horse's leg and pulled the helmet, and the pikeman accurately assassinated the iron horse cavalry, the three of them must cooperate skillfully, and if there is a problem in any of the links, the attack power and effect will be greatly reduced, but the Yan army is fortunate that Xiao Huaiyu left the trinity formation at the beginning, this formation, so that Han Mo can use this technique to defeat the enemy in a short time.
Although the commander of the iron horse cavalry shouted to cut off the hook and sickle, but the Yan army was not easy to shoot, the shield bearer maintained the formation, one by one to advance forward, but there were casualties vacancy, and there were new soldiers and shields immediately to make up, the iron horse cavalry was afraid of the power of the hook and sickle, and for a while it was slowly retreating, but the formation was tight, and the retreat order was not given, not to mention that this is related to the reputation of the iron horse, so although the iron horse cavalry retreated slowly, it was not really to retreat, but to look for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to rush over, Open the notch.
The Yan army was merciless, from behind those huge tiger-faced shields, there were always hook and sickle spears leaning out coldly, although it was true that some of the hook and sickle spears were cut off by the cavalry of the iron horse horse, but most of the hook and sickle spears still ruthlessly broke the horse's legs.
Xiao Huaiyu has trained an army with strong combat effectiveness, and today, his successor Han Mo commands this iron-blooded army and is showing their bravery.
……
Xue Poye at the head of Nanyang Guancheng was already stunned at this time, he stood on a high place, and saw the situation on the battlefield very clearly.
The invincible iron horse cavalry, originally indomitable, tore a gap in the right flank of the coalition army, Xue Poye was proud in his heart, but he saw that his ace cavalry suddenly suffered a serious defeat, he couldn't see the specific situation clearly for a while, but he could clearly see that the cavalry in front of the iron horse cavalry was planted with men and horses, and a legion of the coalition army broke forward extremely bravely, and his iron horse cavalry fell one by one, and the formation went straight back.
"What's going on?" Xue Poye was taken aback.
At this moment, Lin Chengfei and Han Mo were both relieved.
The scouts came again and again to report that the iron horse riders had suffered heavy casualties and were retreating again and again, and the right flank of the coalition army suddenly reversed in the face of collapse, and actually had the upper hand.
The tactics achieved great results, which made Han Mo's heart suddenly rise with a sense of extreme excitement.
Zhu Xiaoyan looked at Han Mo, his eyes showed a strange look, and finally said, "This method...... How did you come up with it? ”
Han Mo's solemn expression was already a lot more relaxed, "In the face of a powerful enemy, if you want to win, you must know his flaws." The iron horse rides the whole body armor, and the only flaw is on the four horse legs, since there is such a flaw, we naturally have to make good use of it! ”
Zhu Xiaoyan groaned slightly, and said: "The hook and sickle gun is not unique to you, it appeared very early. But it is rare to use it against cavalry, how did you come up with the idea of using a hook and sickle to break iron horses? ”
Han Mo shrugged, smiled, and said, "It's just wisdom!" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan thought about it and nodded slightly, he had to admit that Han Mo's wisdom was indeed very high, and this person did seem to have some kind of talent in military affairs.
The Iron Horse Rider suffered heavy losses, but for a time he could not retreat.
Because once they retreat at this time, not only will the morale of the Wei army suffer a major blow, but also the left flank of the Wei army will inevitably collapse on the whole front, and the entire battle situation will suffer a devastating blow.
Many knights on iron horses still resisted bravely, and there were indeed many knights who cut off their hooks and sickles and broke into the Yan army's formation, causing great casualties to the Yan army, but the Yan army was arrayed into four factions, and they could break through the first and second formations, but they could not break through to the third formation at all.
In the middle of the battlefield, the Wei army had the upper hand and suppressed the Qing army, while on the left flank, the Yan army and the Wei army were locked in a bitter battle and stalemate.
The fierce battle continued, and the three thousand iron horse cavalry were actually in the battle of the blood station, and most of them had been lost, and Xue Poye finally knew at this time that there was a strange Yan ** regiment ambushed on the right flank of the coalition army, this army had a hook sickle spear, and the main reason for the heavy damage suffered by the iron horse horse cavalry was because of the existence of the hook and sickle spear.
Xue Poye's face turned blue.
He looked at the loss of most of the iron horse cavalry, and his heart was like a knife, and at this time, several generals around him had already persuaded him: "General, the iron horse cavalry must be withdrawn, otherwise the iron horse cavalry will be wiped out!" ”
Xue Poye didn't want to withdraw.
However, he knew very well that with the order to retreat, the battle would inevitably end in failure, and Nanyang Pass would also be lost, and a large number of strategic materials stored in Nanyang Pass could not be transferred at all for a while, so they could only be left to the coalition forces.
If you lose, the consequences will be severe.
"Dismount, assault!" Xue Poye was silent for a moment, seeing that the iron horse rode with heavy losses, and finally ordered.
The flag was unfurled, and the iron horse riders on the battlefield immediately received the order to dismount and fight on foot.
Since the Yan army hooked the horse's legs with a hook and sickle, it may not be a way to abandon the horse and fight, as long as the iron horse cavalry disrupts the formation of the Yan army, there may not be no chance of turning defeat into victory.
But Xue Poye obviously overestimated the ability of the Iron Horse Rider to fight on foot.
The reason why iron horse riding is frightening is that people and horses are one, with strong defensive power, strong attack power, and stronger mobility.
But without the war horse, the heavy cavalry of the iron horse riding is equivalent to expending some of its physical strength on foot, and the heavy armor, although it does protect the warrior's body, also makes the warrior's movement seem sluggish and clumsy.
In order to keep his left wing from being broken through, Xue Poye made a fatal mistake in a hurry.
When the Iron Horse Cavalry dismounted and advanced, the Yan Army Formation Order Flag waved, and the Yan Army soldiers automatically separated a gap, and then surrounded them from both sides, and the Iron Horse Cavalry was among them.
Soon, the cavalrymen knew how foolish they were to abandon their horses, and they were surrounded in the middle, trying to fight, but all they saw were shields on all sides, and the pikemen probed their spears into the glasses or mouths under their helmets, and when they swung their swords at them, the hook-scythes were already cunning in pulling at their helmets.
There were less than 1,400 soldiers on iron horses, who were surrounded in the middle by several times the Yan army, and the Yan army on the periphery was even more arrayed, blocking the attack of the Wei infantry and light cavalry.
Compared with the heavy cavalry, the fate of those light cavalry was even more miserable, as long as they cut off their horses' legs, they didn't need to hook their helmets at all, and the spears of the Yan army were enough to send them down to the Yellow Spring.
Xue Poye watched his iron horse ride fall deep into the Yan army's formation, and then fell one by one, and finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake, his face turned blue, and he punched the wall, which actually cracked the stones, and his fist was also a blur of flesh and blood.
His heart was bleeding.
Three thousand iron horses to ride, that is exhausting Sima Qingtian's countless efforts, that is the trump card in the hands of the Wei army, but he never thought that just today, this hell cavalry, which once made the soldiers and horses of the world frightened, was actually lost on this battlefield.
He clearly remembered that when Sima Qingtian inspected the iron horse riding, he was proud of the spring breeze, and said very boldly: "He will break through the capital one day, and the first army to step into the Qing Palace will be my iron horse horse!" ”
It's a pity that the Iron Horse Rider not only did not set foot in the Qing Palace, but also did not even cross the Longshan Mountain Range, and was completely annihilated on the plain outside the Longshan Mountain.
Alas, iron horse ride!
Hate, Han Mo!
