Chapter 346: Guanning Iron Cavalry Attack
The combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry made the Xia cavalry feel terrified.
The Xia cavalry, which has always fought in the southwest, has never encountered a strong opponent, and in the first battle into Shanxi, they finally met, as if they had just walked out of the novice village in the game and met a full-level boss, and the Xia cavalry deserved to be beaten.
Not only is the combat experience incomparable to the other party, but even the horses under the crotch can't match, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was quickly killed under the obstruction of the Xia cavalry, and Nanzhang Bowang Guangxing was smashed by the three-eyed gun in the melee, and the helmet was concave with the skull, and the brain burst out.
With the excellent performance of the war horse, after breaking out of the encirclement, the Guanning Iron Cavalry quickly got rid of the pursuit of the Xia cavalry, and went towards the handsome banner that was protected by layers of soldiers and horses.
As long as the commander of the Xia army can be killed and the flag of the commander can be cut off, the morale of the Xia army will plummet, and the victory of the Zhou army in this battle will definitely be a sure thing.
As for the layers of soldiers and horses guarding the periphery of the Shuai Banner? He was not afraid, he dared to carry the Jurchens who were once called invincible, how could he be afraid of the army composed of Han Chinese?
As long as this victory can be achieved, even if he and the more than 1,000 Guanning iron horsemen under his command are buried and sent in, they will not hesitate.
Rumble –
Su Dingyuan watched Guan Ning's iron cavalry kill all the way in the direction where he was, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he calmly ordered Tan Hong to lead the army to line up to block it, so that the rocket artillery turned around and aimed at the cavalry rushing towards this side.
Rocket artillery can deter cavalry, and it is extremely suitable to use it against cavalry.
However, it will also take time for the rocket artillery to be redeployed, which requires Tan Hong to lead the army to resist the Guanning Iron Cavalry and buy time for the redeployment of the rocket artillery.
At the same time, the participation of the Guanning Iron Cavalry also inspired the morale of the Zhou army, who could not shoot against the Xia army, and turned to hand-to-hand combat with it - the Zhou army's bird gunners were no match for the Xia army in the counter-shooting, and in order to eliminate the advantage of the Xia army's sharp firearms, the Zhou army launched a charge with a salvo.
They originally thought that the Xia army was good at firearms and neglected close combat, and would definitely not be able to compete with the Zhou army in hand-to-hand combat, but what they didn't expect was that even in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat, the Xia army would still be able to kill them back and forth.
Regardless of the stalemate on the infantry battlefield for the time being, the Guanning Iron Cavalry galloped all the way, blocking the infantry led by Tan Hong, Marquis of Xinjin, on their way to Shuaiqi, and the infantry began to line up to meet the enemy, standing their shields diagonally on the ground, and their spears on the shields, ready to meet the cavalry charge.
Wu Guoying has seen this kind of posture many times, whether it is the green battalion of the Qing army or the Dashun army and the Ming army behind, no matter how bluffing their posture looks, until the cavalry rushes to the face and does not collide, they will be defeated by themselves.
Everything that followed was as Wu Guoying expected, although the soldiers and horses under Tan Hong's command joined the Xia army, they were still rotten warlord troops in essence, and they were not blessed by the system, and their morale was not as high as that of the system soldiers.
When the Guanning Iron Cavalry was about to collide, they finally succumbed to fear, dropped their inconvenient shields and spears, and turned and fled.
Tan Hong was caught off guard by the sudden rout of his subordinates, but when he saw the Guanning Iron Cavalry attacking like a sea of mountains, his brain turned quickly, and he decisively abandoned his subordinates and wanted to escape from here.
But the war horse under Tan Hong's crotch was also a short southwest horse, plus he was caught in the crowd, and his speed couldn't be improved, so he was soon caught up by the killed Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Guan Ning Tieqi also took a fancy to this general on horseback at a glance, and they knew that the identity of the person who could ride the horse must not be low, so one of the knights directly waved the three-eyed gun and smashed it heavily into Tan Hong's helmet when he chased after him.
Tan Hong realized that something was wrong when he heard the sound of horses' hooves and the heavy sound of breaking the air behind him, and his survival instinct allowed him to dodge the blow that hit his head in an instant, and although the three-eyed gun did not hit his head, it still smashed Tan Hong's shoulder.
Hearing only a crisp sound of bone cracking, that Tan Hong screamed miserably, the whole
The man fell from the horse's back and fell heavily to the ground, and before he could recover from the pain of the fall, he saw a horse's hoof enlarge more and more in front of his eyes, and at last he felt only a pain in front of him, and he completely lost consciousness.
Tan Hong is dead.
He died under the horse's hooves, his face sunken by the horse's hooves, and he was not at all recognizable to him if he was not distinguished from his armor.
In the chaos, no one found that Tan Hong was dead, this Xia army was completely defeated before it could meet the enemy, and fled in all directions, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was like a hungry wolf rushing into the flock, wantonly slaughtering this rout, many of the rout soldiers fell miserably under the horse's hooves, and the blood spurting from them stained the white earth, in stark contrast to the white snowflakes.
Wu Guoying did not participate in this senseless massacre, he ordered his subordinates to stop killing and accumulate physical strength to deal with the next battle, but at this moment, the Xia army in front of him suddenly erupted in flames, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and dozens of rockets flew into the air and flew towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which had not yet been separated from the rout.
Wu Guoying looked at this scene in amazement, he didn't expect that the Xia army would ignore those defeated soldiers and launch this indistinguishable rocket at them, the rocket roared towards the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and a few seconds later, the rocket smashed head-on into the cavalry formation and exploded.
The violent explosion and the jet of flames instantly engulfed the cavalry around the rocket, and the piercing sound also frightened the horses under the crotches of the knights.
Even the elite Guanning Iron Horsemen couldn't help but be terrified, and the war horses under their crotches were even more uncontrollable after being frightened, neighing and raising their horses' hooves to gallop around, completely ignoring the scolding and whipping of their masters.
The attack of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was directly disintegrated under this round of rocket fire, and the remaining cavalry could not maintain the charging formation, no matter how Wu Guoying shouted and wanted to reorganize the formation, it had no effect.
Although this is not the first time to see the power of rockets, Su Dingyuan is still intoxicated with the feedback after the rockets fall into the enemy formation, and it is his order to give up those routs who are still fleeing to shoot directly, in his opinion, those routs are not worthy of continuing to be a member of the Xia army, and there is no psychological pressure to give them up.
As it turned out, his order was correct, and the offensive of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was thus disintegrated.
