Chapter 319: Disorderly Order
The wind is neighing, the horses are howling, the blood is roaring.
The sacrificial grandson, who was charging at high speed, slashed through the neck of a Han soldier, slashed over a person who fled with his back, and wanted to stab a third person in the chest with another knife.
But the ring-headed knife actually broke on the blade that hit the opponent.
The sacrificial grandson did not show any nostalgia, and threw the hilt of the knife at the Han army, directly breaking his appearance.
After that, the priest continued to gallop on his horse. As soon as he dodged a spear that stabbed him, he pulled an iron bone out of his coat and began to smash it on.
As for the Han soldier who was missed by the sacrifice of the grandson, he did not escape, and was killed by the Jinan Yellow Turban cavalry who followed the sacrifice of the grandson.
Not far away, Lu Zhi was sitting on the horse under the big curtain, surrounded by a curtain, and the front and back were full of armor soldiers in the middle of the army.
At this time, Lu Zhi naturally discovered the counterattack of a Qingzhou Yellow Turban Cavalry, but Lu Zhi didn't take it to heart.
He calmly watched the situation on the battlefield.
The left army and the central army of the thieves were defeated, and the only one who still maintained a stable formation was their right army, but it was also difficult to save the building.
There are also hundreds of cavalry rushing from the opposite side, and Lu Zhi also regards them as clowns jumping off the beam, so there is nothing to worry about.
Tens of thousands of troops have been defeated, what is the use of hundreds of people?
He had never seen anyone who could break through the barrier of the army and capture the flag. Besides, at this time, there were thousands of Yue cavalry on the opposite side of him, and an iron armor formation of 400 people, and there were 500 people under his account.
So, be calm and take control.
……
When Saisun and the others rushed past Yueqi, Zhou Zhong shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly blew the horn to dispatch troops to chase after Saisun and the others.
In the face of the Yue cavalry that bit up, there were constantly Jinan Yellow Turban cavalry after turning the horse's head and breaking it, so as to buy time for the sacrifice of Sun to break through.
But the charge of the sacrificial grandson also ran into trouble.
Directly in front of them was a four-hundred-man armoured army. Originally, the sacrifice of the grandson was going to spare the past, but this phalanx directly discharged a wide array, and the people behind the big circle were killed.
The sacrifice sun can no longer go around, and if it goes around any more, the whole horse speed will stop.
There was no way, and the sacrificial grandson rushed directly into the phalanx with the cavalry.
Fortunately, in order to discharge the wide formation, the thickness of the Han army's armored front was very thin. As long as you kill four or five people, you can kill through.
But this army can be selected by Lu Zhi as his own army, and they can also wear armor, how can they be ordinary soldiers?
When the sacrificial grandson rushed to the head, a Han pawn in front of him was not afraid, and he slashed at the head of the sacrificial grandson with a sword with an extended horse sword.
Fortunately, the sacrificial grandson wore an iron helmet, and he didn't learn from others and only brought a red flag, otherwise he would have taken the life of the sacrificial grandson.
The sacrificial grandson was also startled, and the slash on the slash was only a slight abrasion. He slammed his bones on the opposite side of his chest.
But this time, the sacrifice sun didn't hurt this person, at least on the surface. This person has armor on his chest, and he didn't draw a circle from behind when he sacrificed to his grandson, and his kinetic energy was not enough.
Subsequently, the sacrificial grandson's shoulder was hit by something I don't know what happened, and it also cut the armor, so there was no big problem.
He couldn't kill the armor soldiers in the front row, but the war horse under the crotch of the sacrificial grandson had already taken him to go deeper.
But after a few steps, he heard a wail from the warhorse, and then fell to the ground. I saw an enemy warrior holding a sword to cut off the horse's hooves of his mount, and the horse fell to the ground weightlessly.
The sacrificial grandson rolled to the ground, and the armor on his body didn't know how many swords he had blocked for him. But Rao was like this, and when the sacrificial grandson stood up, he was also dizzy, and his whole body was covered with blood and mud.
Thankfully, the cavalry companions who followed him also charged. In a brief collision with the ironclad soldiers of the Han army, they also fell to the ground like sacrificing their grandchildren.
Obviously, this Han army ironclad soldiers were specially trained to block the cavalry charge. This can be seen in their figures and the swords they wield.
But what is surprising is that the number of casualties on both sides in this brief impact is very small, and the total number of casualties may only be a dozen, and the number of wounded is estimated to be twice as high.
In the short engagement, the thick winter clothes and iron armor of the Jinan Yellow Turban helped them resist the slashing of many Han troops.
And the ring head knife on the Yellow Turban rider was not much of a problem when it was cut on the Han army. Because the Han army is all armor and clothing, and some of them are physically outstanding, and they are also wrapped in several layers of armor.
But in the end, it was the Yellow Turban Cavalry that fell behind, not because they were inferior to the ironclad soldiers, but because their horses were mostly cut off by the opposite side, and most of them lost their mobility like the sacrificial grandson.
Dozens of swords were chopped, and hundreds of knives were returned.
Even without the war horses, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban in Jinan was still under the leadership of Qu Shuai and the grandson, and unswervingly moved towards the Yan Han Daxu.
The sacrifice grandson and these Qingzhou heroes have long had no other ideas, isn't it just death!
One husband begs for death, and thousands of people make it easy, not to mention these hundreds of heroes who stand up in the sky. As a result, the Han army's ironclad array was visibly retreating.
And more and more Yellow Turban heroes killed through the phalanx, embracing the sacrifice grandson and continuing to advance towards the Yanhan Dynasty.
The battle in front of him all fell in Lu Zhi's eyes.
The place where he stood was one of the few slopes on this battlefield, although it may not be more than a zhang high, but it was already the commanding height of this area.
Looking at the moth thief who was fighting hard and fearlessly seeking death at the bottom of the slope, Lu Zhi felt a little throbbing in his heart.
He stabilized his scattered mind and winked at the ghost face on the edge of the big sword. The ghost face general Yu Shi took two hundred soldiers down the slope, and the direction pointed directly to the position of the sacrificial grandson.
As soon as the ghost face moved this side, Lu Zhi stopped looking at this side, because he believed that with Yu Shi's combat power, the result was already doomed.
So, Lu Zhi looked at the center of the battlefield, where was the location of the Youzhou Raider.
Seeing his own assault on a rampage, Lu Zhi was so happy, but soon, he rubbed his eyes and looked into the distance in disbelief, and the horsewhip in his hand fell to the ground.
……
Youzhou Tuqi is really a shame this time.
This battle is called a smooth fight. Aside from the fact that he was accidentally attacked by the thief army and killed the deputy marshal sect member at the beginning, this battle can be described as wonderful.
First, the shooters attacked and shot the thief army from afar, and the opposite side was full of mourning. Then the infantry rushed to the opposite line and broke the strong formation on the opposite side. In the end, they made the final decision on the Youzhou assault and won the battle.
That's right.
This is the account of their Youzhou Raid, before in Xingyang, the reason why they were defeated was to blame the deputy marshal sect member for the layman commanding the insider, and they had to take their raid to directly rush to what kind of strong formation, so they had the previous shame.
Sure enough, I heard that the sect member was a southerner, so the southerners would also fight?
And this time is different, after the new commander Cui Jun took over the command and started to fight this battle, he will fight how to do it.
I heard that Cui Shuai is a famous family in our Hebei, and sure enough, his father is a hero and his son is a hero.
At this time, Captain Gai Tong of the Left Military Academy was leading a team of twenty people to knock over a group of routs, and then the knives and lances intersected, leaving a piece of severed limbs and stumps.
Wearing basin collar armor, Gai Tong became more and more energetic the more he killed.
He shot over one with an arrow and wanted to run away, smashed one with a hammer and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and as for another one who dared to resist stubbornly, he didn't need to make a move, he kicked the thief's chest with a direct back kick from the war horse under his crotch.
This will be him, how can he still have the resentment before the war.
Before the war, he was not angry why the fifty armored cavalry did not give him the command, but gave it to the boy named Gongsun Yue, whose hair had not grown.
On martial arts, on family background, on qualifications, what about Gongsun Yue and him? It's not even worth putting someone on him.
But Gongsun Yue became the rider of the heavily armed assault horseman. Look at the heavy equipment of the fifty horsemen, and look at it as a sharp weapon to capture the flag and worship the marquis. Now it's really a pearl.
But now Gai Tong is relieved. How resentful he was before, how happy he is now.
Sure enough, Lu Shuai still loves his family, knowing that this position can only be given to a young man like Gongsun Yue, without him, he can die and carry it!
Ha ha.
It's no wonder Gai Tong is so proud, just because as an important winner of Lu Zhi in this battle, the heavy equipment of the fifty horsemen is too miserable.
Fifty heavily armed assault horses are indeed extraordinary, and once they charge, the ground shakes and the mountains are unmatched. In the case that the left formation of the thieves on the opposite side was broken, he directly ploughed over the large array on the opposite side.
The thief's saber could not hurt them in the slightest, but was crushed into pulp by these fifty horsemen, and the effect was surprisingly good.
In fact, at the beginning, the soldiers of the Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry were not optimistic about these heavy horses. It's not that I think this kind of army is bad, but I think that fifty horsemen can be very useful!
Tens of thousands of people fought, and they were tired to death by relying on these fifty horsemen.
But now that I used it, I found that this heavy horse was so useful in breaking through the enemy line in an assault. Because everything should be urged, the thief formation will be shattered as soon as it is touched, although there are not many people killed, but it can stir up the only remaining formation of the thief army.
However, the next fifty horses were miserable.
Because the horses descended quickly, these iron horses were directly overturned to the ground by the angry Jinan Yellow Turban, and then seven or eight people were grabbed and stoned to death.
Even Gongsun Yue, who was the leader, was not because the crotch horse was a divine horse funded by Gongsun Zhan, and he still had the spare strength to rush out with him, otherwise he would have died in the battle.
This is the first appearance of the Han army's heavy assault cavalry, although it is extraordinary but the ending is tragic.
In fact, the death of these heavy riders is still to blame for these Youzhou raiders, just because they don't know how to cooperate with these heavy riders.
Generally speaking, the mature heavy cavalry tactics are arranged around the heavy cavalry of each class.
Because of the armament ability of heavy cavalry, neither light cavalry nor light armored cavalry can compete with it.
The crossbowman may also be able to defend himself against the charging heavy cavalry with arrows in his hand, and if he hits the weak point of the cavalry or the armor of the horse, the heavy cavalry will also break the horse, but this is too unlikely.
Because in the face of heavy cavalry charges, not many archers have the courage to stand still, and most of them have to run away before the heavy cavalry has rushed in front of them, otherwise they will not be able to run. At such a distance, the arrows fired by these archers were of little use.
Therefore, as soon as the heavy cavalry appeared, it became the king of the battlefield and the decisive force that dominated the trend of the battlefield.
But heavy riding is not without disadvantages, that is, the endurance is short, and the knight's ambulance ability is weak after falling off the horse.
Because the men and horses are all wearing armor, the galloping time of the war horses is short. Once the horse's speed stops, it is easy to be pulled down by enemy infantry.
And once the armored knight fell off his horse, it was impossible for him to stand up again on his own strength, and at that time he was a shelled snail meat, which could be easily picked and killed.
Therefore, generally speaking, in the establishment of heavy cavalry, there must be auxiliary troops.
This auxiliary class can be the same number of foot soldiers, choose the light and swift soldiers of the whole army, and can pull a knight after the heavy horse falls.
But in this process, the requirements for auxiliary troops are high, on the one hand, they can keep up with the speed of horses, and on the other hand, they can fall in love with the knights and have a true brotherhood.
Because giving one's life to one's comrades-in-arms is not something that ordinary people can do. If the knight falls off his horse and his companion runs away, he is doomed.
In the same way, these knights are basically looking for their own companions of life and death. These people may be their own brothers, their own disciples, or even the children of the family. But never look for strangers in the army.
After all, it is too difficult to achieve mutual trust.
But these, neither Lu Zhi nor the soldiers of the Youzhou Commando, or even the heavily armed Commandos themselves did not realize it.
So, after their horses dropped and they were left behind, there was no one to save them. Those Youzhou turks are still chasing the north there, how can they have no time to control them.
In this way, the heavily armed assault riders who had made great achievements in this battle could not enjoy their moment of glory, and ended in the melee.
But who can be blamed for this?
No one is to blame, because whether it is a new technology or a new mode of warfare, when it first appeared, users basically used it according to the old method because they did not understand it.
It's all the fate of new things.
Not to mention, the fall of the Youzhou Heavy Cavalry, after all, they have also completed their mission.
only said that Gongsun Zhan, the captain of the white horse who was fighting, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his brother's brother return with a horse, and then continued to fight.
This will be, the thief army's big array has been chaotic, but the angry thing is that the three formations on the opposite side are still standing there, and they will continue to drive the thieves to rush to the side of the big army.
These last thieves are so tenacious.
The dead before the battle are all piled up with corpses, and if you don't surrender, are you really not afraid of death?
When he sighed about this, Gongsun Chan still had a layer of gloom in his heart.
That is, he did not forget that there was also a Taishan thief who came to attack with these moth thieves. Although these thieves have withdrawn, who knows if they will appear later?
Just when Gongsun Chan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
He put down his horse and listened suspiciously in the direction from which the voice came, which was the east. The voice followed the east wind, becoming clearer and clearer.
Gradually, Gongsun Chan heard clearly, that is:
"Raise the sword soldiers, change the peace, and call the world back to Qingming!"
……
"Raise the sword soldiers, change the peace, and call the world back to Qingming!"
……
Gongsun Zhan's whole person froze, hearing this familiar war song, he didn't know that it was the Taishan Army, the enemy of his life, who had arrived.
He looked at the sky, and estimated that it would be half an hour before it got dark, and this would be one step away from defeating the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, what should I do?
This will, in the east of the battlefield, not only Gongsun Zan heard it, but the entire Youzhou Turquoise cavalry also heard it, and even the Wei soldiers and Zhao soldiers who were killed together also heard it.
When Wei Junbing heard this voice, although he had not encountered it head-on, he had heard it from the former robe, and this was the battle song of the Taishan army.
At this time, the enemy joined the battlefield, but the soldiers of Wei County had no courage to take revenge, and many people panicked and hurriedly picked up the armor of the robe that died on the ground, so as to arm themselves with another layer.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the invincible prestige of the Taishan army are effective at this moment. The Han army began to waver, and many people looked at their commanders and evacuated from the battlefield.
Even a tiger general in the army like Gongsun Chan was shaken by his fighting spirit, and looked at the position of the Chinese army behind him to see what Lu Zhi commanded.
It was at this time that Lu Zhi's soldiers appeared in front of the Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry covered in blood and conveyed a strange order to them.
Lu Shuai actually said:
"Youzhou suddenly rode forward to block the Taishan thief, and Zhao Guobing will arrive later."
This order is very inexplicable.
The order was given to Cui Jun. Lingbing found Cui Jun under that conspicuous battle.
At this time, Cui Jun was spotless with people and horses, and when he received Lu Zhi's military order, he didn't understand it at all.
Because in Cui Jun's position, he couldn't see the so-called Zhao Guobing at all, and there were only Youzhou Tucai scattered on the east side of the battlefield nearby.
And Lu Shuai actually asked him to take the rest of Youzhou to ride to stop the Taishan thieves who came over?
What are you kidding?
They didn't get a single grain of millet in Youzhou, and the limited dry food was also fed to the war horses, and then they fought for an afternoon, how many people were so tired that they couldn't get on the horses, and let them snipe?
Besides, how many of them can still be in Youzhou Turquoise, and how many can they summon at a time? And then go to rush the Tarzan thieves who are famous for their strong formations? That's to let them ride to death in Youzhou!
Therefore, Cui Jun regarded Lu Zhi's order as a chaotic order and ignored it completely, but instead blew the horn of gathering troops, signaling the nearby Youzhou Raiders to move closer to him, and Cui Jun planned to take them to evacuate the battlefield.
Xu knew that the first military order was a bit chaotic, and Lu Zhi's second military order followed.
Another soldier who was covered in blood and had an arrow stuck in his shoulder said:
"The commander hopes that your troops can cruise and harass the Taishan thieves, prevent their troops from joining the battlefield, and take Daxu away. The Viet Cavalry has moved to the left flank of your division and will fight with you. Action"
Lu Zhi's second military order, Cui Jun understood.
But he was a little incredulous.
Because although Lu Zhi transferred him to a Yue cavalry army, he asked them to take the Taishan thief's Daxu? This Lu Zhi can't help but look up to him too much.
But this time, the last two words of Lu Zhijun's order, Cui Jun heard the killing intent. I know that if I ignore it, I may behead him next time.
So, Cui Junzong was no longer happy, so he had to obey the military order.
At this time, the nearby Youzhou Raiders continued to gather under his Daxu, looking at these elite soldiers, Cui Jun made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life:
"Turn the horse's head and charge east with me!"
Youzhou Erlang died without fear, listened to the boss's order, wiped off the blood, and sang proudly.
Subsequently, the 1,200 Youzhou Raiders who had been gathered together galloped towards the east without looking back after a short rest.
There is the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Taishan Army that is about to join the battlefield, with 3,000 steps and 500 cavalry.
And if Cui Jun can be a little more patient, he will receive a third military order, which tells him to evacuate the battlefield with the Youzhou Raid.
It turned out that all this was to blame for the second commander who passed the wrong military order.
The Da Xuan that this commander said was not to let Cui Jun take any Taishan thief Da Xuan at all, but to let Cui Jun withdraw with the Da Xuan of Youzhou Raid when he couldn't do anything.
Because the Youzhou Tucai is the strongest weapon of the Han army, its symbol must not fall into the hands of the enemy.
And these were all miscommunicated by the nervous commanders.
And so, a tragedy began.
