Chapter 241: Support
Although since the era of the Jinfan Army, the infantry under the command of Wu Yingying has attached great importance to anti-cavalry training, but it is already extremely difficult for Ping Su to invite a commander of 500 cavalry to cooperate with the infantry training, where can the entire cavalry army be excluded from thousands of cavalry to cooperate with the infantry training. At this moment, thousands of iron cavalry of the Song army, Longwei and Xiaowu rushed in formation, and even the commander of the Jiaorong army, Chase was also worried.
"We must hold our ground!" Chase pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted: "The lord is behind us!" Bai Sheng, the captain of the Modao Battalion, stretched out his hand to pat Wang Wufu, the newly recruited sergeant in Hexi, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid?" Wang Wufu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Life and death are things that happen in an instant, if it falls into the hands of such a Tibetan barbarian, it is better to die here." Bai Sheng nodded appreciatively, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, even if you die, you have to die." The Han soldiers who had been fighting hard for a long time encouraged each other a few words, the spearmen in the front row firmly clawed the barrel of the gun, the back half of the spear had been pierced in the soil, the back row of sword and shield hands held the shield against the back of the front row of soldiers, and the Mo knife hand in the middle of the spear bowed his body slightly, reducing the chance of being assassinated by the first blow of the cavalry.
Like the iron cavalry of the Song army rushing forward, the faces of the first row of cavalry are clearly visible, and the iron hooves of the war horses turn up large pieces of dirt and splash everywhere. The Tooth Camp sergeant with his spear raised held his breath. At this moment, the front row of Dragon Guard cavalry rushing at full speed suddenly split left and right, and swept sideways in front of the Han army's spear formation like swallows picking up water. Because the archers had all drawn their swords and joined the skirmish, the Praetorian cavalry running sideways along the spear array suffered few casualties.
"Not good!" Chase secretly screamed, and from behind the separated dragon guard cavalry, two pairs of cavalrymen dragged ropes and threaded wood, each of which looked to weigh hundreds of pounds, and the wood was inlaid with thick iron nail spikes. The cavalry of the Song army was coming at full speed, and when they were about to approach the Han army's infantry formation, the two cavalrymen let go of their hands at the same time, and the heavy and thick sassal wood smashed into the Han army with a huge wind under the action of huge inertia. Many of the tooth battalions who stood up for the enemy, and the sergeants of the Modao battalion were hit on the spot and their brains burst out, and their flesh and blood were blurred. The rest also stumbled and couldn't stand up, and the originally well-organized military formation was suddenly a little chaotic.
The cavalry in the back row took advantage of the chaos of the Han army's formation, the prancing horse forward, this group of forbidden cavalry accustomed to the impact of the infantry formation succeeded, immediately desperately urged the horse to rush into the Han army formation, some held big guns, specifically according to the key points of the Han army sergeants, some held short iron rods, smashed around, even if there was an iron helmet to cover the head, to hit it to lie down.
The Han army suddenly suffered a big loss, caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties, and even the commander of the Jiaorong army, Chase Si, picked up his horizontal knife and shouted: "Fight to the end!" and the guards around him desperately went forward to prevent the Song army from continuing to rush in. For a while, "the lord is behind him," "don't retreat!" The sound of orders came and went, from the captain to the centurion, and the officers at all levels gave up their command, turned to raise their blades, and threw themselves into hand-to-hand combat with the cavalry of the Song army, so as to boost the morale of those affected by the sudden thunderous blow of the Song army.
In addition to the cavalry in the front row who were entangled by the Han army's foot soldiers and couldn't get out of their bodies, Yao Jixun constantly organized wave after wave of cavalry to accelerate to the extreme outside a hundred paces and then impact the Han army's front.
Seeing that the left flank defense line was already difficult to support, Wu Yingying pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, stepped forward and led the remaining dozen or so guards towards the left flank line, shouting: "Shoot the cannon, beat the drum, wave my flag, and tell the brothers on the left flank that I, Wu Yingying, will fight side by side with them!" The left-wing sergeant, who was already a little lax, watched Wu Yingying personally lead the guards over to help in the battle, and no one had the idea of retreating. At this moment, the left flank front was already like a pot of boiling porridge, more and more Song cavalry and Han army infantry were intertwined, the two sides stabbed each other, slashed and slashed, the sonorous gold and iron resonated to make a piece, and the flesh and blood splashed, dyeing the military robes of both sides red.
"The commander makes the lord with us!" Bai Sheng, the captain of the Modao Battalion, took the opportunity to shout loudly, the advantages of the Modao in the melee were vividly reflected, whether it was chopping or sweeping, it always had to bring up a piece of blood, but it was a pity that this blade was too physically demanding, if the reinforcements came a little slower, I am afraid that the Modao fighters who had lost their strength in the battle would only have to explain all of them on this battlefield.
With two bangs, the fireworks prepared in advance rose into the sky, and the two armies of Baiyu and Bai Yu moved in response to the sound of galloping in the southern border wall of Liangzhou.
Yu Furen Liang leaned on his horse tightly, pointed to the right flank where the Yinzhou Party was located, and shouted: "Raise the flag of our army and tell them that the White Feather Battalion is coming." Behind him, several military flags hung on the cavalry spears were held high, and the cyan military flag depicted a white carved feather, which was synonymous with warriors in the five states of Dingnan. Behind the military flag, five thousand elite horsemen followed behind Fu Ren Rail like five thousand arrows from a full bow.
The galloping hunting army led by Luo Youtong went straight to the right flank, and the border wall of Liangzhou was still some distance away from the preset battlefield, and he didn't know what the outcome of the battle would be. He was still full of anxiety behind the wall over there, and after getting on the horse and carrying a big gun, he left everything behind and shouted: "Expelling the Tartars, recovering Hexi, just look at this battle, all the kings will kill the enemy with me!" led the galloping hunting army straight to the direction where the cannon was raised, that was where the flag of Wu Yingying was, since the surrender of the Guiyi Army to Wu Yingying, Wu Yingying did not look at it differently with a new attachment. Among the newly established six armies, the generals of the Guiyi Army were given the position of commander of two armies, and the officers at all levels were used according to their talents, and after the formation of the army, the sergeants were assigned to the shade and their status was respected, so they were all convinced, and they were also grateful, and they were eager to perform in front of Wu Yingying.
Cai Keyuan, who was directing the party cavalry to attack the right flank of Wu Yingxing's army formation, sounded the farsighted cannon, and his heart was shocked, and soon, the sound of neat and rhythmic horse hooves rumbling came from the land in the south, which was the unique sound of ten thousand horsemen galloping, how could the party nobles who had been dealing with cavalry since childhood not know, without waiting for Cai Keyuan's order, the iron harriers stopped the order to urge the cavalry to attack, and looked at Cai Keyuan. "It's not good, this Wu hero is hiding an ambush!" Cai Keyuan thought of this instantly, and before he could speak, the party troops below shouted in an uproar: "Bai Yu Battalion, it's Bai Yu Battalion here!" With fear and panic in his tone, many cavalry had begun to look at each other, look at each other, and then look at the commander of the army, and the intention of fighting was undoubtedly revealed. Even the war horse under the crotch, feeling the fear of its master, began to snort uneasily and hover.
