0920 Fierce battles inside and outside
The battlefield outside Kim Yong Shing was divided into two parts, the inner and the outside, by the long wall of the sand bank. In the inner circle of the long enclosure, many walls of different lengths were added, which were uneven like dogs' teeth, and looked very ugly.
At the beginning, Hu Lujin didn't know very well what the significance of the enemy army building these walls was, after all, he had made up his mind to stick to the city before, and he had no intention of going out of the city to fight and break through.
But now that his troops were out of the city, he suddenly felt the malice of these jagged walls. The construction of these walls is chaotic and irregular, and if the army wants to launch an attack on Changwei, the formation will inevitably be divided and scattered, which is not conducive to the overall scheduling and change of the battle array.
Therefore, Hu Lujin did not rush to order an attack, but let his son outside Changwei take the lead in attacking the enemy formation, trying to find the key to the enemy's military formation through the change of the enemy's position.
As the battle began, although Hu Lujin could not intuitively see the battle scene outside the long wall, when he heard the tsunami-like cheers and cheers of the enemy army, Hu Lujin's face couldn't help but change suddenly, and he felt bad.
"Attack from the front, capture the enemy's right position, and send another 2,000 armor soldiers to Tushan!"
Fearing that the battle outside the Changwei would be unfavorable to his side, Hu Lu Jindang even ordered an attack on the enemy formation.
The enemy's battle formation in Changwei was set up relying on the sand bank of Changwei, and the battle formation on the right side echoed each other with Tushan, and the number of troops arranged was also the largest, reflecting the importance attached to Tushan, the siege point and the Heyang artillery and other ordnance above.
Hu Lujin originally wanted to attack here after the battle progressed and a part of the troops were withdrawn, but the battle outside the long fence did not seem to be going well, and only by attacking the enemy position here could he contain the most enemy forces.
As the drums and horns of the attack sounded, the soldiers in the front of the Qi army rushed towards the enemy formation. At the front of the line were hundreds of heavily armored cavalry, these elite soldiers in armor were weapons of killing on the battlefield, once they moved, they were unstoppable, and the iron hooves made a thrilling muffled sound on the ground, and the rear phalanx followed behind these armored cavalry, and the whole battle formation was full of tension.
Seeing the enemy charging with heavy cavalry, the faces of the Wei soldiers in Changwei also became quite serious, and they quickly adjusted their battle formations, retreating the lightly armored and unarmored crossbowmen to the area protected by the Changwei sand bank, and taking pikemen as the first in the battle formation. In the spearman array, there are heavy infantry armed with long-handled weapons such as sabers and battle axes.
As the king of the battlefield and the elite of the elite, as long as the heavy cavalry appears on the battlefield, it will receive a high degree of attention and vigilance from the enemy. Because of its staggering destructive power, it often becomes a key force in determining victory or defeat. The fact that the defenders of Kim Yong Cheng sent such an important force at the beginning of the war also shows Hu Yujin's eagerness to seize the initiative on the battlefield as soon as possible.
Soon the hundreds of moving steel fortresses came to the front of the Wei army, and the huge sense of oppression also made the frightened faces of the soldiers in the front line pale, and the only action they remembered was holding the spear in both hands to resist the horse, and the blade of the spear pointed diagonally in the direction of the front.
Click, click!
The heavily armored knight of the Qi army who rushed to the front directly collided with the blade of the enemy's gun, and the sharp blade first sparked sparks and made a sharp sound on the surface of its heavy and strong armor, but after all, it was still difficult to pierce this high-quality armor, or was directly knocked aside, or simply broken by the huge impact force!
The Northern Qi Dynasty was strong, and the craftsmanship, especially the building skills of military weapons, was also the best in the world, and even many famous ministers and generals occasionally had to be sent to Jinyang Jiafang to work.
As the elite of his country, the Jinyang soldiers also enjoy the ration of the most sophisticated ordnance and armament, and in this round of heavy cavalry charge, no one has broken the armor, which also shows the good quality of the armor of these Jinyang soldiers.
As the enemy's heavy cavalry rushed into the formation, the Wei army's battle formation here seemed to be smashed out of a shocking depression by the iron fist, and the originally neat and tight battle formation was broken in an instant, and many front row sergeants were directly knocked out, their bodies were still in mid-air, and blood was constantly gushing from their mouths and noses, and after they landed, their bodies convulsed, vomiting blood and died.
Although this first collision caused heavy casualties to the Wei army, it was not completely without effect. At the cost of dozens of lives
Later, the momentum of these heavy armored cavalry was also stopped. Without the blessing of speed, the deterrent power of the heavy cavalry on the battlefield will be sharply reduced.
"Kill!"
The spearmen in the battle formation roared and cheered each other on, and the spears in their hands spurred at the enemy soldiers. While most of the blades were difficult to stab, the force of the stabbing also severely limited the movement of these enemy horses, making it difficult for them to gallop their horses again.
Although the speed was limited by the enemy pawns who were not afraid of death, the movement of hands and feet was still unrestricted, and the horse lance in his hand was waved up and down, like a sickle that harvested human life, and the surrounding enemy pawns were constantly killed under the horse. Even if it is protected by armor, after being smashed by a lance, it will inevitably fall to the ground with casualties.
Under the charge and fighting of hundreds of cavalry, the battle formation here was also constantly thinned and retreated, and when the rear foot soldiers entered the front to connect the offensive, the pressure on the enemy formation suddenly became greater. Rao is Wei soldiers are also fighting back bravely, and the formation is still inevitably defeated.
However, just as the battle of the Qi army was getting better, new elements appeared on the battlefield. A heavily armored cavalryman had just killed several enemy soldiers with spears and spears, but what appeared in front of him was not another enemy team, but a hard wall of sand.
When the knight saw this, he struggled to strangle the horse under his crotch, but the huge weight of the horse's armor was too great, and the difficulty of controlling the horse was several times greater than that of the light horse.
The sand bank was several feet wide, with hard ice at the top and bottom, and the bottom was frozen tightly with the ground, and after withstanding this heavy impact, although the surface was mixed with sand particles of ice splinters, the wall was not too damaged.
On the contrary, the knight who had struck the sand bank was in a very bad condition with his horse, and the horse's neck was twisted directly, and the whole horse collapsed under the wall, and the knight on horseback was also knocked down, and the sand on his head was also thrown to one side.
The knight held back the pain in his body, and stood up with both hands on the ground, and suddenly felt that his vision was in a trance, and when the vision was fixed again, he saw a headless steel body supporting the ground in a strange posture, and blood gushed out from the neck cavity that should be connected to the head, and then the world fell into a dead silence.
In addition to the fact that these sand banks and walls caused great trouble to the actions of the enemy cavalry, the Xiangyang army itself also had a deployment of heavy cavalry.
Although the heavy armor can provide very tight protection for the horses, the various attack forces it receives cannot be counteracted, and it still needs to be borne by the flesh of the centaurs wrapped in iron armor. When the power of this attack is large enough to a certain extent, even if it does not break the armor, this huge concussive force is enough to kill.
Heavy weapons such as tomahawks and cones are suitable weapons for heavy cavalry, but they require extremely high physical qualities such as arm strength and physique.
These elite soldiers who are also dressed in strong armor are distributed between the battle formations, once the enemy cavalry is entangled in the face of the attack from all sides, these elite soldiers will bully the front of the horse, wave the long Ke battle axe in their hands to the enemy's head, chest, back, waist and other vital points, as long as the axe is solid, the enemy will often lose combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
In the battle array, a heavy-armored young general struggled to cut the tomahawk into the back of an enemy pawn, and the enemy soldier led the horse forward violently, and then collapsed directly on the horse's back.
"Good skills!"
Li Ya, who was also fighting hard in the battle formation, saw this scene and stabbed at the enemy on the opposite side, and did not forget to give a thumbs up to the young general.
"It's already the seventh!"
Han Baohu, who was also a close confidant in the tent of the king of Taiyuan, grinned when he heard this, and proudly made a gesture representing "seven" to the robe around him, and then carried his Changke battle axe and went towards the fierce battle. These elite axe soldiers have a great right to mobile combat on the battlefield, and they do not need to obey orders to advance and retreat on a certain battlefield.
Li Ya and the others heard about it
Han Baohu's record was so strong, he couldn't help but be envious and jealous for a while, his eyes looked at the dwindling enemy heavy cavalry on the battlefield, and kept approaching under the cover of the robes who were fighting around him.
In the melee, Li Ya saw that an enemy heavy cavalry actually had a gold belt around the waist, and his heart suddenly moved, seeing that the enemy general reined in the horse and turned to fight, he got up and quickly approached the past, but when he struggled to cut out an axe, the enemy horse suddenly jumped horizontally, and an axe that should have been cut on the back of the enemy fell on the horse's hind foot, and the huge force directly smashed the horse's foot through the armored curtain, and the enemy general also fell straight down from the inclined horse.
"The dog thief will not hurt my lord!"
Soon, several enemy horsemen who cooperated with the enemy general noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly jumped into the front to help.
After Li Ya heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up again, ignoring the enemy lance stabbed in the oblique, and he waved the battle axe and slashed at the front heart of the enemy general, seeing the blood in his mouth like a spring, he smiled with relief, and then his body was picked up by the enemy lance and flew out, and the entire left half of his body was paralyzed and hot, and after landing on the ground, he directly smashed into the pile of corpses of several people, and fainted unconscious.
