Chapter 341: The Infantry Who Beat the Iron Float

Wang De's two flying cavalry brigades......

Behind Ginjuke, of course!

As the man behind Liu Guangshi, he alone supported the reputation of this pseudo-Zhongxing four generals, so that he could be ranked with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, not only could he charge with a big knife on the battlefield, but also could at least rank second in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At least not worse than Zhang Jun.

He is indeed acting, and his acting skills are clumsy.

But the purpose of this scene was not to coax Yinshuke's Tiefutu to cross the river at all, but to coax away his two-winged crutches and horses.

As for the Iron Float......

That's the duty of the Flying Cavalry Brigade.

Northwest of Shoushan.

"Can't the infantry destroy the cavalry?"

Yang Zhi, deputy commander of the First Army of the Changsheng Army, said with his axe and gun.

As the general of the Hebei Forbidden Army, and he is also stationed on the Great Wall, of course, he has only one choice to take refuge in Wang Yue.

Behind him was a huge formation, with more than 6,000 infantry from two galleries of flying cavalry, three-quarters of the armored spearmen in front, who didn't even need shields, this new type of armor was basically immune to direct fire from cavalry bows at close range. Five rows of spearmen were arranged two feet apart, they themselves were shields, providing protection for the axe-gunners and three-eyed gunners in the back, the archers, the three-eyed gunners part-time melee hand-to-hand combat, but they did not have three-quarters armor on them.

They are actually a helmet similar to a hat, but the military uniform on their body is considered cotton armor, but there is no iron plate in it, after all, they don't need to care about the front when they are hit by arrows.

There is a meat shield on the front.

The main thing is that the flying cavalry is the cavalry infantry, which is ridden by ordinary Mongolian horses, and does not move heavy armor, which can be reduced if it can be reduced.

In fact, only the first three rows of spearmen were three-quarters.

The last two rows are just half-body armor.

This is Wang Yue's Flying Cavalry Brigade, or Mounted Infantry Brigade, it is they who really deal with Tiefutu, Wang De's frontal attack is just to coax away Yinshuke's Kidnapping Horse, and the Flying Cavalry Brigade's long-range weapons are insufficient, so the Kidnapping Horse's bow and arrow threat is greater. At the same time, led by the native cavalry of Chi Zhan Hui's subordinates, two flying cavalry brigades bypassed the battlefield of Yanzhou from the western mountains, forming a formation behind Yinshuke, and the two flying cavalry brigades attacked, and the two elite cavalry under Chi Zhan Hui provided two wings of protection.

Of course, Wang De admitted that he had an element of gambling.

But......

Nothing but.

This is a war, you have to take risks, his goal is to completely annihilate the silver technique, at least most of it, so that an encirclement must be formed.

"Forward!"

Yang Zhi, who was also wearing three-quarters armor, stepped forward with an axe and gun.

"Forward!"

Countless shouts rang out behind him.

This huge formation is actually twelve platoons, with the first five spearmen, two three-eyed gunners, two axe-gunners, three archers, and the final core is actually spearmen.

Twelve people in a gang.

Thirteen of them, actually, because there was also a gang leader with an axe and gun in front.

Then three groups in a team, three teams and a sentry, three sentry and a battalion, three battalions and a brigade, at this moment all the officers are in front, Yang Zhi, the deputy commander, with the flag bearer and drummer in the front, the two brigade commanders in the back with the same flag bearer and drummer in front of the center of their respective brigades, behind them is the battalion commander in front of the battalion, the sentry commander is in front of the outpost, the captain is in front of the team, and the gang commander is the vanguard.

The deputies are all in the back.

Because the front post died, they automatically substituted.

This kind of compulsory regulation of Wang Yue did cause a high death rate among officers, but I have to admit that the morale bonus and the convenience of command brought by this arrangement are also obvious to all.

It's really different from rushing with me and rushing at me!

The huge formation of more than 6,000 infantry, under the protection of the cavalry on both wings, began to move forward in a neat pace.

And the silver art in front of them has already divided the troops to come, because most of the kidnapping horses have been coaxed away, and they can't be mobilized back in a short time, and it is difficult to transfer them back, and the two hussar brigades and the three thousand cavalry behind Chi Zhanhui will not let these kidnapping horses withdraw easily. But Yinshu couldn't ignore the frontal assault horsemen, he could only divide five hundred Tiefutu, take the three thousand crutches and horses who came back in a hurry, and form a separate legion, led by his younger brother Maji, to attack this side.

But when they caught up with the flying horse, Yang Zhi and his men were already approaching Yanzhou City.

Maji simply attacked head-on......

Six thousand infantry only.

There are not even chariots, there are not even shield walls, such pure infantry, and it is not a phalanx, what is so terrible about such infantry?

The bow and arrow crutch horse shoots a wave first, disrupting the formation.

"Forward!"

Yang Zhi roared in the rain of arrows.

In front of him, the kidnapping horse galloped sideways, and the cavalry on horseback fired sharp arrows.

But with the drums of the drummers beating the drums, the infantrymen in the line ignored the arrows, and continued to follow their officers, marching forward in a normal rhythm, except for the archers behind them, who continued to shoot on their backs as they went, and shot at the attacking abject horses with their bows, which were clearly more powerful than the cavalry bows. These archers are also Wang Yue's key training, the infantry bow in their hands is at least one stone, and the actual combat bow is not low, the strength of the archer is not the same as the actual combat bow, they practice one by one with thick arms and thin arms.

The losses of the kidnappers were significantly greater than those of the flying cavalry infantry.

The latter's losses were really minimal, after all, the spearmen of the first three quarters of the first three rows were like moving the walls.

"This arrow is a bird!"

Deputy Commander Yang roared.

Then an arrow hit him in the chest, and it was ricocheted off by a carburized plate as thick as three millimeters.

The soldiers behind him erupted in a demonstrative roar, and at the same time the three-eyed gunners crowded from behind to the front, and the kidnappers who had tried to keep close were frightened away, having already experienced the power of this weapon many times.

The defenders on Peach Blossom Island next to it have this.

Ten zhang of cold forging armor could not be stopped, and these bows and arrows who did not even have armor did not dare to enter for twenty zhang.

At this moment, the flag waved at Maji's place.

The kidnappers immediately retreated.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than half a mile, and Ma Ji on the opposite side simply dispatched the Iron Floating Tu, accompanied by the sound of the horn, five hundred mounted cavalry began to move forward, these people were equipped with horses, and even their faces were protected by their necks, and the real iron horsemen who only showed their eyes were holding cone guns on horseback, and they crashed like steel walls. The flying cavalry infantry that was originally moving forward immediately stopped, and all the spearmen supported their spears, the front row was supported on the ground, and the back supported the front and the other hand pressed the tail, and the spears of nearly six meters quickly turned into a terrifying dense forest.

And Yang Zhi and those officers quickly drew a line in front of the formation, and then leaned into the gap next to the formation of their respective subordinates.

But still tied with the spearmen in the front row.

Then the three-eyed gunners were ready, pointing their three-eyed guns forward in the dense forest of spears, and the axe-gunners in the back row also stepped forward, side by side with the spearmen, and everyone silently watched the Iron Float coming like a wall, and even the archers behind them stopped shooting for the time being, their arrows could not penetrate the armor of the Iron Float at a long distance.

The Five Hundred Iron Float continued to move forward.

And then keep accelerating.

Soon they were less than 100 meters away from the thunderous sound of horses' hooves......

"Steady!"

"Steady!"

……

The shouts of the officers rang out incessantly.

The Three-Eyed Hands waited silently, and from time to time someone blew their arquebuses.

Soon the front row of Tiefutu was less than twenty zhang, but there was still no fire on this side, and in the blink of an eye the distance became ten zhang, but no one had fired yet, although those soldiers were also trembling, but the strict discipline kept them restrained.

Eventually, the front row of the Iron Float stepped over the line drawn by the officer.

"Put!"

The first roar rang out.

The Three-Eyed Gunners pushed their arquebuses into the ignition hole as fast as they could, and the next moment countless flames erupted in the dense forest of the spears, and they were sprayed one after another, short and fierce shots, so that the entire formation was instantly filled with gunsmoke, and even blocked the soldiers' sight. In fact, no one cared about the results of their battle, because the firing distance was too close, and the moment the three-eyed gun's shot ended, in the sound of people shouting and neighing, rolling and impacting, one by one the escaped Iron Float crashed into the dense forest of spears.

But the five rows of spears were enough to stop them, and with the sound of the spears breaking, these already small iron floats crashed to death in the spear forest one by one.

"Kill!"

Yang Zhi suddenly roared.

Then he raised the axe gun in his hand and instantly slashed at the thigh of an Iron Float on the opposite side.

Almost at the same time, the officers shouted and raised their axes, and together with the axe-gunners, launched a counterattack against the follow-up Iron Float, who had actually been forced to stop, and all of them were killed by the Three-Eyed Guns, and in front of them were the corpses of men and horses pierced by the spear forest. It was impossible to charge, so they could only get close to the back and condescendingly stab with their spurs, but their skews were no more than six meters long, and these Iron Floats were visibly panicked and overwhelmed by the stabbing of the spear forest.

Then the big axes of the axegunners fell.

Yang Zhi, who had enough force value, swung his axe and gun like a fierce beast, and frantically slashed and slashed in the stopped Iron Floating Slaughter.

Chop the horse's legs.

The duty of the axegunner is to cut off the horse's legs.

Spears are assassinated on the top, and axes and spears are cut off on the legs of horses.

Tiefutu not only had to block the spears that almost drowned out the field of vision, but also because the charge was contained and he was in a panic, how could he care about hand-to-hand combat with these fierce beasts, the officers of the victorious army were all extremely high in personal force, and the archers behind were also aimed at them, so at a distance of more than ten meters, those infantry bows comparable to longbows easily penetrated their armor.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Iron Floating Tu in front of the formation was in a miserable scream.

But before they could get up, the axes and hammers of the Three-Eyed Hammers fell.

These are the cameos of hand-to-hand combat soldiers, their weapons of their own choice, but most of them are hammers or axes similar to fire axes, but with longer pointed axes, and there are also those who like pickaxes and short pickaxes, these messy murder weapons smashed to the ground Iron Floating Slaughter blood and flesh......
