2356 Thunder in the Silence (10)

Surabaya River beach, tens of thousands of cavalry across the river can be described as spectacular, against the opposite side of the fierce arrow clusters, the grassland cavalry like a landslide and tsunami pressed, people crowded people, horses stacked horses, the length of the crossing is three or four thousand meters, only to see an order, the horse's hooves splashed a slight splash of white water, in the torrent-like forward queue, the grassland people began to take out the bow and arrow,

"Ready"

Countless grassland horn bows were raised at the same time, the arrows were cold and shimmering for thousands of meters, and under the hooves of the thunder horses was an avalanche-like splashing scene, and tens of thousands of cavalry marched in unison with the killing intent that swept up in the face, and hit Yang Zi's cold cheeks with a chill, he didn't expect that the grassland army would be directly the most tragic force.

He has ordered the archers to pour a large number of arrow clusters towards the river beach area, still unable to suppress the other party, the arrow clusters are staggered in the air, dense as leeches, but the effect of the road can be taken is very limited, compared with the dense river surface behind, the number of cavalry clusters can not be counted, the first step on the river beach of the grassland cavalry front army is full of a tragic feeling, can serve as the front army is naturally not afraid of death of the elite, these grassland cavalry against the rain of arrows madly jumped on the river bank, as if holding back enough strength to burst out, their combat beliefs, only left forward, forward, looking at the front row of dense like a forest erected horse rejection guns, carrying a war horse, he didn't hesitate to bump into it,

The five-meter-long horse rejection gun stabbed into the belly of the grassland war horse, and the running war horse was stabbed by the horse rejection gun, and immediately let out a miserable scream, and the horse's hooves that rushed forward couldn't step out, and the grassland cavalry above was hit down by inertia, and was killed by countless stabbed spears.

The two of them were able to hold the Zhongbia rejection rifle tightly, and the soldiers who were also hit by the huge anti-shock force rolled backwards, but they were still able to stand up again, which made Yang Zijun's soldiers' morale soar, I didn't expect this thing to really have a miraculous effect! Although it is still inevitable that there will be damage. But compared to the previous when almost all the soldiers in the first row were finished, it was already a miracle that they could still keep two-thirds of the people alive, "Go up!" Finding that the grassland cavalry was not so terrifying, Yang Zijun's courage came up at once,

The soldier with the rejecting rifle in his hand shouted, the rejecting pistol team at the front. With the iron gun in his hand without hesitation, he frantically stabbed and directly pushed forward the corpse of the grassland man and horse that was killed in front of him.

The repulsor pistol was fully elongated to a length of five meters, and the head of the spear in front was only one and a half feet, and behind the sharp head was a circle of round Titos. To ensure that the tip of the spear can pierce the target in front of it forcefully, how can the weapons of the steppe cavalry not reach a length of five meters, and they began to panic a little, and the person who proposed to use this extended iron spear to deal with the steppe cavalry is the first general in Central Belgium, Long Yang, the general of Central Belgium who has been fighting with the Western Continent for decades, and proposed a horse rejection rifle similar to the Dragon Rifle of the Western Continent to the Central Biya court, which is eager to have a weapon that can target the cavalry.

The Sino-Belgian army did not lack manpower, but lacked war horses, and since it was impossible to fight in the field, it would bring the strength of the infantry into play. According to the carbine, it does not require any too technical forging ability, nor does it require soldiers to train for a long time, but it is a cheap class of troops with the lowest cost and can also play a good role in a short time. There are even generals in the court who believe that in the battle of Dijing, if there are 100,000 rejection of horse guns. The grassland people can't enter the Dijing Plain at all, and Longyang sits and watches the Sino-Belgian War, although there are weapons that can turn the tide of the war, they hide them privately, which is simply harboring evil intentions.

The first batch of 2,500 such rejecting guns forged were all given to Yang Zi, who was on the front line.

In the battle of Dijing, the flattering Zhangwu army was defeated miserably across the board, and the city was abandoned, how tragic, only Yang Zi's army was preserved in this turbulence, and this combat power was quite dazzling, Yang Zi's prestige rose rapidly in Central Bia because of this battle, and was known as the only one in the 400,000 flattering Zhangwu army who could fight a hard battle with the grassland army, the emperor made an exception and was promoted to three levels, and was transferred from an ordinary general to one of the important ministers of the Dijing guard, you must know that in the era of peace, the Dijing town guard is at least the top three positions in the military cabinet, although it is not as good as before, but the status is becoming more and more important, the emperor is broken, that is, Jiangnan, so the court naturally stuffed any weapons and equipment to Yang Zi's side without hesitation, hoping that this Yang Zi general would block the grassland people.

If it weren't for the fact that in the face of the horseshoe of the steppe army going south, it would be a burden for the new troops to be sent, and the court would even send more than 100,000 recruits who had been rectified in the south to the imperial capital.

Although the south is picturesque, it is not the foundation of the empire after all, the Dijing Plain is the most important area of the empire, and the population here is half of the empire, which is not confused by the young emperor of Central Bea, so this time the grassland army made a big move into the Dijing Plain, and the military cabinet gave Yang Zi an order to defend Surabaya, Yang Zi's army is not fighting alone, the Central Belgian military cabinet has ordered the return of 60,000 Luzhou troops to be transferred to support, and the 100,000 flattering army that is being repaired also urgently drove out of Hanglin, and rushed madly in the direction of Surabaya on the Dijing Plain, and even the western army far away in Yanzhou received an order, asking for immediate assistance from the direction of Yanzhou to aid the Dijing Plain,

These reinforcements, Yang Zi has learned from the order sent by the military cabinet that the military cabinet requires himself to defend Surabaya, waiting for reinforcements, according to the opinion of the court, the three-way army galloped to aid the Dijing Plain, as long as Yang Zi's army can drag the grassland army, there may not be no possibility of encircling the grassland army in the Dijing Plain, if it can really be realized, this will be the biggest victory in Zhongbia since the defeat of the imperial capital,

So Yang Zi decided to gamble, using his 30,000 troops as bait to drag the grassland army to death on this Surabaya River beach, laying down a prestige for the ages

Standing under the banner of the main formation in the army, Yang Zi looked at the battle that broke out on the river bank with a cold expression, the effect of rejecting the horse gun was good, the grassland people were really a little overwhelmed, they just grabbed the shore, and they were pushed into the river force, and they didn't ease their breath for a long time, but the bow shooting of the grassland army made the casualties on their side not small, and a round of arrows smashed down like a torrential rain, and the queue of the horse pistol team almost fell in pieces

These horse-repellent pikemen wore only ordinary armor, and the steppe people's horned bows, the heavy arrows sent out at a distance of sixty paces, could not be stopped unless they were covered with two layers of armor.

These steppe people were already quite well-equipped, and the infantry shooting array was as if they had been swept away by a strong wind and fell down, and the grassland infantry archers on the other side of the river bank were lined up in an array of six or seven layers. In some places, the last row was shot through, and through the cracks, some improvised catapults could be seen assembling "a bunch of bastards!"

Yang Zi's pupils tightened suddenly, his face became ugly, and his fingers clenched violently, how could a weapon like a catapult appear here?

The steppe people have never been in the habit of using siege machines in field battles, and there is no doubt that it was not the steppe people who operated these catapults, but the Central Biyans. I heard that some of the small towns in front of them surrendered without resistance, and not only did a large number of fine ordnance fall into the hands of the steppe people, but even catapults and the like were used, but the use of catapults in the field was the style of the Central Belgian army, not the steppe people! In other words, if the Central Belgian army surrendered to the steppe people? What should we do? Let the horse repelling rifle team withdraw, it is impossible, and it has been completely entangled. As soon as it withdraws, it will collapse, and it will even affect the people behind it

That's it, it seems that the only way to sacrifice the rejecting pistols is to be sacrificed!

Able to be in the Great Defeat of the Imperial Capital. Yang Zi, who ordered the heavy armor swordsman to kill thousands of defeated troops, did not value the lives of soldiers in the first place, how could a general who had his eyes on the overall situation worry about the lives of several soldiers. If this is the case, what kind of war will be fought, and fighting a war is killing people! Killing the enemy. Kill your own people, as long as you can achieve victory in the end! Surabaya is the first blocking line, and there are three more behind it, if they are all consumed here, how can they fight in the back, there are catapults on the opposite side, and the Surabaya river beach can no longer be defended, but fortunately, most of the grassland army is still in the river, and after crossing the river, it must also be prepared, and it is impossible to quickly launch a pursuit, or it is really a bit troublesome

Yang Zi's eyebrows frowned, Surabaya Beach is empty, but there is no acceptable terrain, it was not the main battlefield he set, but it was because of the order of the military cabinet that he was exempted from giving it a try, since the grassland army used catapults, then the evacuation is understandable, he raised his hand and said coldly to the herald cavalry behind him

"Order the Chinese army to begin an orderly retreat and abandon the Surabaya beach! The whole army will withdraw to Wulingpo, the second line of defense."

The Chinese army, which had received the order, began to retreat slowly, and the horse-rejecting gunners who had already killed red-eyed in front did not notice this,

Soon, the huge slings began to whistle and smash over, and were desperately resisting the cavalry's rejection of the rifle formation, bearing the brunt, all kinds of water chestnut throwing stones crossed the arc, smashed down from the top of the head, and saw that the companion's brain was split in an instant, and the two soldiers holding the rejection rifles disappeared at once, only the falling stones were full of broken meat,

The sudden blow was like digging a piece out of the horse rejection array, and the horse rejection array was almost completely defeated at this moment, "Resist!"

Even if the soldier door subconsciously stood in the array and did not dare to retreat, but he didn't know what to do at all, once the length of the rejecting rifle was opened, it was destined to be unable to turn, the side was a dead hole, and when he saw the vacancy, the steppe cavalry immediately swarmed in like a tide, the scimitar slashed desperately left and right, blood sprayed from the headless chest to the sky, and the remaining Zhongbia soldiers just stared blankly at the corpses piled up layer upon layer around their bodies, as well as the wounded who were desperately struggling and wailing, and they didn't know what to do for a while! I thought that I could still have a certain upper hand, and after covering the formation, Zhongbiya rejected the horse gun, and it was immediately broken like a devastation!

"What about our people?" The bloodied recruits lay in a pile of corpses, their eyes looking in the direction of the departure from the rear, dead eyes, 3,700 horse-rejecting gunners, dead in this battle, "My lord, the Sino-Belgian army has withdrawn!" A steppe cavalry galloped to Yelu Hongtai's war horse,

"Withdrawn?" Yeluguda was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately reacted, "Immediately order all the troops who cross the river to pursue with all their might!"

"Quick, line up and pursue"

On the river beach, the flags around are shaking, the horns are blowing one after another, the grassland cavalry is desperately adjusting their own array, the fierce battle just now, although the front army of the Central Belgians was killed, the price paid by the grassland army is not small, more than 3,000 people died on the river beach, and more than 1,000 were drowned by the river rapids, the most important thing is that the people and horses have consumed a lot of energy to cross this torrent rolling river, at this time, it is not easy to give the order to pursue,

A steppe centurion roared loudly, brandished the weapons in his hands, boosted the morale of his subordinates, drove his men and horses, and crashed into the bloody river beach full of dead people in front of them, and stood still in the sound of armor clashing, and all kinds of weapons burst forward like a forest. Like rows of fangs stretched out from the beast, it quickly drove forward

"Your Excellency. It has already passed Surabaya, the situation ahead is unknown, if you pursue it without authorization, there may be a situation!" "The leader of the grassland army also has a few shrewd people, and he feels that the withdrawal of the Zhongbiya army is a little strange, if he does not withdraw, this battle is really difficult to say, this is the most brutal battle they have encountered since they entered the Imperial Plain, although it is not long, but it is tragic. This also made them put away a trace of looking down on the Central Belgians, if the Central Belgians are so tenacious, it is really a bit troublesome,

"Forget it, stop the pursuit and clean up the battlefield!"

Yelu Guda raised his hand, and he also felt that the front would not be simple, he had already known from the local officials in the occupied area that the imperial defense force opposite was Yang Zi, the general of Zhongbiya. In terms of ability, it is definitely the first class of the Central Biya side, and its best thing is defense, and the first Central Bia failed miserably. was able to use 8,000 infantry to withstand the four waves of all-out attacks of His Royal Highness the Third Prince without rushing away, causing the Third Prince to almost miss the opportunity to enter the imperial capital, how could such a person be a coward who would collapse at the slightest touch, hiding a needle in his face. This is the name of the steppe people for this Central Biya general, and the Surabaya Beach is not a good place for a decisive battle, and Yeluguda also sees this. How could the iron hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry be blocked by the river surface of thirty meters?

The grassland army cleaned up the battlefield, the bodies of the dead were separated, the corpses of the steppe people were thrown into hundreds of fire pits lined up along the river, burned to ashes, put into jars and sent back to the back, the corpses of the Central Biya people were collectively thrown into the river, and the blood stained the river red, Yelu Guda wanted to use the corpses of these Central Biya soldiers to deter the entire Dijing Plain, the Surabaya River from north to south, across the Dijing Plain,

"My lord, we found something strange"

The head of a tribe found Yelu Guda with a strange face, according to the customs of the steppe people, half of the loot belongs to the tribe, and half of it has to be handed over, this time the loot is still very good, at least the more than 1,000 all-iron horse rejection guns, it is very popular with the tribal leaders, each horse rejection gun is five meters long, weighs more than 30 catties, all of them are fine iron, after melting it is two pieces of armor, four or five scimitars, if it is melted into a heavy arrow, it is enough to fill three arrow baskets, how not to let the grassland head people not be red, after handing over seven hundred, the rest are divided among the tribes, just when everyone is searching around, The head man found fifteen Thor doors located on the flank of the military formation in the woods, yes, fifteen intact Thor guns, the leaves covered on them were not removed, and there were stacked Thunder God shells like finished piles,

Yang Zi didn't take these thunder gods seriously at all, and when he ordered the evacuation, he still cared about these things, the thunder god was too heavy, in that case, who cares about these iron camels weighing thousands of pounds, according to the Zhongbian people, this kind of stupid and stupid thing should not be made, and the grassland head people don't know the thunder god, but they just think that the Zhongbian people put these iron pipes here, which is definitely not a good intention

Such a heavy iron pipe, melted to be able to forge five pairs of armor, the head man happily circled around a thunder god, touched the cold barrel with his hand, I don't know what this is for, according to the rules to hand over half, this thing is not easy to divide, since it is not good to divide, can you change it to something useful to him, this is how the head thinks, in the army going south, there is already a situation where the looting materials are not complete, so there is also something of equal value to go to the Yelu army to exchange, the head man thinks that this thing can be exchanged for three or four hundred cattle and sheep, if he knows what he is considering now, which was exchanged for 500,000 taels of silver by the court of Central Belgium, it is estimated that it can go crazy on the spot

Found Yelu Guda, put forward the conditions in his heart, Yelu Guda didn't feel anything, agreed to the request, sent soldiers to move the dozen or so iron objects to his camp, made a record and sent someone to the base camp where Yelu Hongtai was, he didn't expect that it was only in the afternoon, Yelu Hongtai rushed over, followed by Yelu Qiye Light, as soon as he got off the horse, he asked where those things were, Yelu Guda was startled, and hurriedly took the two to the place where these iron objects were placed,

"That's it, it's too heavy, it's not easy to carry, why don't you just send a craftsman to melt it!" Yelu Guda said with a relaxed face, turned his head, but saw his sister, Yelu Qiguang looked at the dozen pieces of iron dumbfounded, and inhaled in his mouth,

His father, the right minister who has controlled the royal court for thirty years, looked at these iron objects with a pair of eyes glowing green, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Providence, this is Providence, with these, what is the Imperial Capital!" (To be continued......)
