Chapter 838: Heavy Casualties

"Whew, Whew......"

Blood flowed down Cao Chun's arm, panting.

Cao Chun, as the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, joined hands with Cao Xiu and inevitably suffered heavy losses.

Compared with Cao Chun, Cao Xiu's situation is not optimistic, covered in blood, like a bloody person.

A solid bullet fell on Cao Chun's side, killing the tiger and leopard rider beside Cao Chun, and his head was broken, and Cao Chun, who was red-eyed, couldn't help but be shocked.

Don't let Cao Chun worry too much, the horse lance of the Dragon City Iron Rider has already stabbed in!

The eyes of the Xianbei cavalry were cold, and they wanted to put Cao Chun to death, and the half-meter-long blade of the horse lance stabbed straight at Cao Chun!

Cao Chun waved his heavy arm, struck the four-meter-long horse lance, and the spear pierced through the armor of the Xianbei cavalry, assassinating it!

Cao Chun even picked it up and threw it aside.

The weight of the Longcheng Iron Cavalry itself was at least two hundred catties, but it was easily provoked by Cao Chun and smashed into another Longcheng Iron Cavalry.

Xiahou Yuan held a longbow and shot the Dragon City Iron Cavalry on the opposite side in the midst of the chaos.

Xiahoudun also charged.

Cao Cao personally swung his sword and slashed, and the Qingyu sword pierced the equipment of the iron cavalry of Longcheng and assassinated the cavalry inside!

From time to time, solid bullets fell, and even Cao Cao could be killed by the red-clothed cannon.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the tiger and leopard cavalry had been killed and wounded by a third and thousands of cavalrymen had been killed since the beginning of the battle.

Cao Cao also had blood on his face, and the pungent smell filled his head.

"Murong Ke's chain iron horse has never moved, just watching from the wall, it can't be ......"

"Murong Ke's target is not the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but the Chinese Army's Shenji Battalion?"

Guo Jia and Xun You did not participate in the battle because of the lack of force, and they have been observing in the rear.

They keenly discovered that Murong Ke's chain of iron horses was like a great wall of steel, not moving at all.

The deterrent power of the chain iron horse is no less than that of the Hongyi cannon.

"If it is really to attack the Chinese army, then the Chinese army will be quite dangerous."

"You must send someone to inform the lord, otherwise the chain of iron horses will break through the Chinese army, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Under Guo Jia's order, an Iron Eagle scout cavalry immediately wrote important news on a slip of paper, ordering the War Eagle to convey the news to Chu Tian.

"Sure enough, maybe the chain iron horse is the killer feature of Mingguan, and the red-coated cannon as a trophy is just a disguise, and there may not even be many solid bullets......"

Chu Tian thought that the red-coated cannon was just a trophy brought back by Mingguan from the Battle of Songjin, and he might not be able to produce solid bullets by himself, so he probably realized Mingguan's intentions.

After all, in the game, the destructive power of high-level heavy cavalry is no less than that of red-coated cannons.

"Khitan Legion, cover the Shenji Battalion from the flanks!"

Chutian sent the Khitan army of Yelu Hugo and Yelu Xian to enter the battle.

The Khitan cavalry used cavalry to charge the Liaodong infantry on the opposite side, trying to shake the phalanx composed of the Liaodong heavy infantry.

A cavalry rushed out from the opposite side.

When Jerushuge and Jeruh-slant saw this cavalry, they were greatly shaken.

The leather room army, the most elite cavalry of the Khitan civilization!

This is also the exclusive class of Yelu Abaoji!

The two Khitan commanders, Yelu Hugo and Yelu Xian, were the old troops of Yelu Abaoji, and when they saw the exclusive troops of the old master, their expressions couldn't help but change.

It's just that the commander of this cavalry is no longer Yelu Abaoji, but Lan Yu, the general of Mingguan.

"Brother Jeruxiu, are we going to attack the Leather Chamber Army? This is the Leather Room Army. ”

Yelu slanted his gaze at Yelu Xiuge, another Khitan general.

Yelu even knew some of the commanders and soldiers of the leather room army, and after these people were captured by Mingguan, they surrendered to Mingguan.

In other words, the Khitan tribe was suppressed by the princes of the Han Empire and divided into two, one part was captured by Chutian and the other part was captured by Mingguan.

"The King of Liao is dead, and the Pi Room Army has defected to the King of Ming, and he is already an enemy, so there is no need to worry about it!"

Jeluxiugo commanded the cavalry, but without any pressure, he attacked the leather room army!

The civil war of the Khitan tribe broke out, and the two cavalry fought fiercely, and the cavalry continued to fall from their horses!

Under the command of Lan Yu, the leather room army confronts Yelu Hugo!

"Li Chengliang, you lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to break through the formation of the Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion has already consumed a lot of black powder. ”

Mingguan sent Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry, equipped with a three-eyed firearm, appeared at the front of the battlefield, and the cavalry was hideous, with the goal of destroying the Shenji Battalion that was cool in summer.

"The last general is willing to command a cavalry and break through the enemy formation!"

The first fierce general under Mingguan often met spring and volunteered.

"It's not time yet...... Zu Dashou, you command a cavalry and go to replace Murong Ke. I want Chu Zimou to see if his legions can be stopped when groups of cavalry take turns to attack. My cavalry corps is the most powerful cavalry corps. ”

Mingguan ordered one after another.

Zu Dashou was ordered to lead the cavalry to move towards the Murong Legion located in the left army.

"King Ming ordered you to command the cavalry to attack the backbone of the Xia army."

Murong Ke received Mingguan's order, hesitated slightly, or commanded the chain of iron horses, and moved towards the Chinese army according to Mingguan's order.

Murong Ke seemed to be talking to himself: "In this battle, the chain of iron horses, may be wiped out." ”

At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already stormed the defense line of the Shenji Battalion, and the three-eyed fire gun shot at the infantry armor soldiers commanded by Mu Guiying in front!

Neither the shield nor the foot armor could resist the penetration of the firearm, and he was shot by the three-eyed firearm.

Mu Guiying desperately resisted the advance of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and fought with the Guanning Iron Cavalry!

After the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry shot, he used the three-eyed firearm as a blunt weapon to hammer the foot soldiers along the way!

The three-eyed firearm smashed into the pawn's helmet, and Song Chongbu's head was concussed and he lost consciousness in an instant.

Mu Guiying's spear swept and killed several Guanning iron horsemen.

Guan Ning Tieqi's three-eyed fire bolt smashed in, and after being knocked away by Mu Guiying, he picked it off!

Liang Hongyu's Jianyan crossbowmen and shooting sound battalions cooperated with the Shenji battalion, which was cool in summer, and shot in the rear. Li Chengliang's Guanning iron rider turned on his back.

Buckshot and arrows rained down, and the cavalry fell like harvested crops.

Even the Guanning Iron Cavalry, equipped with armor that could not withstand the dense rain of lead bullets and arrows, constantly fell from the horse of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and died.

Xia Liang stood on a high place, no longer commanding in person, after years of experience, she already had an indescribable temperament.

Chu Tian has always respected him, and as a veteran-level player, he is cool enough to be alone in summer.

She's keeping an eye on the loss of the Divine Machine Battalion, and she also has permission to see the panels of the Divine Machine Battalion.

"The number of the Shenji Battalion has dropped from 5,000 to 3,751, and the morale has dropped to 79, I don't know the data of the opposing legion, compared to their losses, it must be not small."

Cool summer quickly analyzes the state of the regiment under jurisdiction.

After the engagement, the morale and physical strength of the various legions decreased.

Morale and physical strength are also important factors that affect victory or defeat.

If a major incident occurs, it may shake the morale of the military.

For example, Guan Yu crusaded against Xiangfan, the rear was attacked by Eastern Wu, Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, Guan Yu's morale declined, and when he arrived in Maicheng, there were only a few soldiers left.

Not to mention physical strength, many fierce generals are exhausted of physical strength and are captured by the other party.

"The cavalry attacking by the Ming army seems to be equipped with a more primitive musket than the arquebus, do you need me to send Polish hussars to help your Shenji battalion resist the enemy army?"

Catherine knew that this battle was related to whether Chutian could unify the Han Empire, so she temporarily put aside the grievances with Xia Liang.

"Not yet, the Tiger Army has already stepped forward."

Xia Liang noticed that Chu Tian ordered the Lingling General Xing Daorong to be instructed by Chu Tian to command the Tiger Ben Army to meet Li Chengliang's Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Xing Daorong's cavalry was naturally not provided by him with a legion bonus, but Chu Tian's two cavalry characteristics played an effect, sealing the wolf Juxu and the blue wolf Bailu.

Xing Daorong carried the axe, rushed to the front, cut down with an axe, and was blocked by the three-eyed firearm of Guan Ning Tieqi, the heavy and sharp mountain-opening axe left a visible cut mark on the three-eyed firearm, and the three-eyed firearm was deformed and pressed down by Xing Daorong!

The second axe, Xing Daorong and the cavalry with the three-eyed fire gun were cut in two!

"In this battle, the five tigers of the Northern Army will be famous!"

"Good brother, Beihai Wu Anguo is here, and he often comes out to die in the spring!"

Wu Anguo raised the war hammer and hammered four or five people in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was already incredible.

The ninth-order cavalry has about the force of the gold-level military general Mi Fang, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, as the seventh-order heavy cavalry, is equivalent to a bronze-level military general or a silver-level military general.

The Tiger Ben Army is an eighth-order heavy cavalry, the number is less than that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but the individual combat power is stronger, with the main general bonus of Chutian, as well as the halo of the whole army "Heroine Linchao" of Xia Liang and Xiao Sui, the halo of the whole army of Wei Qing "Marquis of Changping", as well as Sun Bin's auxiliary characteristics of the military division, as well as various bonuses of official positions and military books, becoming a sharp dagger and tearing off the Ningning Iron Cavalry.

"The Ming army should have the aura of the whole army of Mingguan and Xu Da, except for these two people, Chang Yuchun may not have the aura of the whole army...... Murong Ke and Yuwentai may have the aura of the whole army. In any case, the opposite side will definitely be able to make up the upper limit of the three all-army auras. Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, I don't know if there are auxiliary characteristics similar to Sun Bin, and as for the book of soldiers, I really don't know if Mingguan also has ......"

Chu Tian knew that the Liaodong Army had always been strong, with a fierce and fierce style, and it was easy to destroy the Goryeo Kingdom.

Only by really engaging the Liaodong Army can you feel the aggressiveness of Mingguan.

Obviously, it was Chutian who took the initiative to attack Liaoxi, and now on the frontal battlefield, the cavalry of Mingguan couldn't wait to launch rounds of attacks.

The strategist who worked for the slave emperor Shile observed the situation on the entire battlefield, and he had a special ability "hunch".

This trait, like the "Son of the Plane", is a metaphysical trait, and no one knows when it will take effect.

But when the two metaphysical properties are paired together, the upper limit can be very high and the lower limit can also be very low.

Sun Bin and Zhang Bin stood side by side, and the two military divisions shot at the same time, paying close attention to every move of the Ming army.

"I have a premonition of uneasiness, please be careful of the cavalry of the Ming army."

Zhang Bin seemed to have grasped some premonition and reported to Chutian.

"Exactly?"

"My subordinates can't say it, it's a feeling like being drowned by the waves."

“……”

Chu Tian knew that Zhang Bin had abilities similar to those of the prophets of Western civilization.

There is a delicate balance of power between Eastern and Western civilizations, so many heroes have similar abilities between them.

For example, the Chebao tactics of the military general of the Bohemian Kingdom of the Holy Roman Empire, Jieshika, were similar to the Han Empire's Northern Army General Liu Yu's Moon Formation.

Chu Tian has always attached great importance to Zhang Bin's occasional premonition, so he took Zhang Bin with him as one of the masterminds.

During the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, there were many master-level think tanks, which were not inferior to the Three Kingdoms period, Cui Hao, Zhang Bin, Wang Meng, Xie An and others were all temporary kings.

This time, Chutian also brought Cao Di, and Cao Di's "one-shot" characteristic has never been used.

Not only that, but the ability of Joan of Arc, Liang Hongyu, and Li Xiuning to boost morale was not used by Chutian.

Before his morale dropped to a certain level, Chu Tian had not used all his strength.

He waited for the end of the Ming army's offensive and his morale and physical strength were low, and then decided the victory in one fell swoop.

Joan of Arc held the fleur-de-lis banner, and as far as the eye could see, the number of dead troops on both sides of the war had already exceeded 100,000, and there were quite a few elite cavalry among them.

"Jieshika's Chebao has been transferred to deal with the Jurchen tribe, otherwise it can play a big role in this battle."

Chu Tian looked indifferently at the battlefield strewn with corpses.

In this battle, hundreds of thousands of soldiers may be killed or wounded.

The real great princes fought hard, and the casualties could not be less.

In addition to the battlefield in the western Liaoning corridor, Prince Yan and Hu Ma attacked Yuerhai, and the number of cavalry invested in the battlefield there may also be millions.

Therefore, because the soldiers killed in the Great War in the North may be in the millions.

In a great war, the number of dead and wounded is the entire strength of a medium-sized civilization.

Not many civilizations can afford such losses.

Even Chu Tian was a little distressed about the loss.

After the Great War to unify the Han Empire, it is estimated that there will be several years to recuperate.

The ongoing war also has a great impact on the people's morale.

"Urgent! Guo Jia and Xun You, the two military advisors, noticed that Murong Ke's chain iron horse was secretly moving towards the backbone of the Ming army, and the target was most likely the backbone of our army! ”

"Sure enough, the red-coated cannon was just a thunderstorm and a small raindrop, used to attack the tiger and leopard riders, trying to attract my attention. Cavalry is the winning hole card of Mingguan. ”

Combined with Zhang Bin's hunch, Chu Tian probably guessed that Mingguan wanted to use continuous cavalry offensives to break through his Chinese army.

"The foot soldiers, including the women's army, have changed into infantry armor and infantry lances and long axes."

After guessing Ming Pass's intentions, Chu Tian immediately ordered his soldiers to replace their iron armor with stronger defense, and at the same time equip them with long weapons to attack heavy cavalry and war horses.

The defense of the infantry armor and the attack power of the long axe are very amazing, and there are also disadvantages, that is, the cost is expensive, and the speed of physical consumption will be increased to varying degrees, and the mobility will decrease.

Generally speaking, Chutian would not force the light infantry to change to the equipment of the heavy infantry.

But this time, Chu Tian's wealth was abundant, so he asked each light infantry to change into heavy armor and heavy weapons, and specifically dealt with the heavy cavalry in Liaodong in this battle.
