Chapter 764 Chapter 705 Iron Fire (6)
Chapter 764 Chapter [-] Iron Fire ([-])
On August 25th of the second year of Jianshuo, around [-]:[-] p.m. at night, the first collision between the Black Banner Army and the Jurchen West Route Army took place in the hills northeast of Yanzhou City.
As the two sides fighting for the first time, there are not too many bells and whistles in the battle.With the sudden bright fire of the Jurchen camp, the Jurchen elite riders came surging like a stream of water, and their momentum did reach the peak in an instant. However, facing such a scene, everyone in the Huaxia Army was only tense in an instant. The heartstrings were struck, and when the arrows flew and fell like raindrops, the soldiers on the periphery had already raised their shields, and in accordance with the posture they had trained countless times, let the arrows falling from the air crackle down on the shield.
At this time, the drums of war were already beating.The formation of the army pushed forward and stretched forward. The pace did not speed up too much, but it was firm and firm.A regiment led by He Zhicheng was in front, Sun Ye's fourth regiment was on the left and rear, and more than [-] infantrymen from Lu Liangshan were on the right.To the southeast of the battlefield, the two thousand cavalry led by Han Jing had already moved to meet the cavalry led by Mandu Yu.
To the south, Yan Zhenguo's army was nearly collapsed, and there was only chaos on the huge battlefield.The war drums in the north alarmed the night, and many people's attention and eyes were attracted to the past.The three hot air balloons in the sky were already flying over the walls of Yanzhou City, and the soldiers on the balloons looked at the battlefield from a distance.If the arrows shot by the Jurchen cavalry are like a rushing tide, the Black Flag Army at this time is like a giant ship against the tide. It breaks the waves and pushes firmly towards the Jurchen camp on the hillside. past.
The cavalry formations that threw arrows were still spreading.In the southeast, Han Jing's cavalry and Manduyu's cavalry began to project each other, and in the south, the hot air balloon dragged by the horse team moved closer to the Huaxia Army's rear formation.The thousands of Jurchen elites who came out of the camp have already run to the two wings, and the formation of the Huaxia Army is like a huge living body, constantly deforming. The cavalry team fought back, but the entire team kept pushing towards the Jurchen camp.
Fighting infantry against cavalry, in terms of tactics, there is not much to choose from.The cavalry moves quickly and the formation is scattered. When the number of people is similar, the accuracy of the infantry archery is too low, but the cavalry does not have armor and shields. Although long-range shooting can give people pressure, against a rigorous formation, all they can rely on is the initiative. .
This is the normal state of the Jurchen cavalry fighting against the Wu Dynasty troops. The Wu Dynasty troops often retreated with the tactics of retreating, and then reported the winning rate to the top. In the end, the winning rate accumulated to as much as 80.00%. However, once the Jurchen cavalry really saw the right time and decided to charge, Even if the troops of the Wu Dynasty had a complete formation, they were always defeated in desperate fights.This has nothing to do with tactics, it is purely the result of an army that has no determination to die on the battlefield.
However, the Huaxia Army is not the same...
***********
boom!
boom!
Boom!
The sound of drums, accompanied by the footsteps pushing forward, shook the night sky, surrounded by arrows like raindrops, with flaming light spots flying and falling from both sides, people seemed to be at the bottom of the arrow rain.
The sound of the order, the shouting of the officer, followed by the sound of the sound, and sometimes, even the laughter of people was very absurd.
The black flag was hunting, Qin Shaoqian rode on his horse, and from time to time he turned his head to watch the surrounding situation. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army were advancing in units of companies, and the mighty Jurchen cavalry was in the distance.The horse team dragging the hot air balloon has come up from behind.
Without an eye, it is sometimes inconvenient.
He frowned, no one knew that such a thought flashed in his nervous mind.
When people are nervous, sometimes they will flash some inappropriate emotions.Jurchen... This is not the first time he has faced Jurchen. The battles in the past were tragic... It can't be said to be a tragic battle, it can only be said to be a tragic defeat and massacre, and countless screams outside the city of Bianliang. It seems to be still circling in his mind, the desperate struggle.Every time at this time, his father's face, the gray-haired look flashed before his eyes, and his brother's face...
At home, he was not a pillar of the family. His elder brother was the one who inherited his father's mantle and knowledge.Fortunately, there are fathers and brothers to teach, but it is not too ignorant.The father and brother Lu, who had a family background, were about to come to an end, so he went to join the army. First, he was rebellious, and secondly, it was because of the arrogance in his chest. Since he knew that he could not surpass his brother on the road of literati, he could not be too inferior.
If a man always looks at the back of another man and moves forward, the idea in his heart may be that he hopes that one day, in another direction, he will become a man like his father.It's a pity that the corruption of the army and the ignorance of his colleagues quickly buried the thoughts in his heart.
What about the prosperous Wu Dynasty, singing and dancing, and the army having problems?The bandits were still suppressed.His promotion in the army was not without the help of his father-brother relationship, but so what, if the world was peaceful, it would be nothing to live like this for a lifetime - but the world is not peaceful after all.
The Jurchen headed south, putting the weight down.He charged desperately with his trusted companions around him, and what he saw was the tragic death of his companions. The Jurchen was devastated. Fortunately, there were heroes like Liheng, the struggle of father and brother, and the sacrifice of more people, and he was defeated. Jurchen's first time.
At that time, I thought there would be hope...
And this time, he brought this different team to the front of the Jurchen formation again.This time, there is no Wu Dynasty, no father and brother, no thousands of Li people behind him, no righteous name, and nothing.
If my father and brother were alive, they might not like their current state too much, and they might not like Liheng either.But they are gone after all.
Without one eye, the world is different...
The front line of the army slammed into the front of the Jurchen camp, and the shield array moved forward. In the Jurchen camp, a fire lighted up, and the next moment, a rain of arrows with flames rose into the sky.
The rain of fire fell down, and the tight shield remained unmoved. It was the end of autumn, and the arrows and rain ignited the withered grass on the ground.
Liu Chengzong waved his hand, and the artillery array pushed forward.
If it is said that in this moment of confrontation, the Jurchen is as fast as the wind and swept as fire, and the Huaxia Army is shown as Xu Rulin and immovable as a mountain.Facing the rain of arrows and harassment, push the opponent directly to the place where they will save, and blast open your door directly, cavalry just play!
At this moment, on the corner of the camp wall of the Jurchen camp, Wanyan Loushi was looking at this scene with a solemn gaze. He was interested in the opponent's firearm and the big Kongming lantern. The guard next to him said, "This is indeed the most aggressive Wu Dynasty army I have ever seen."
In the formation of the Huaxia Army, Qin Shaoqian raised his head and frowned slightly: "Wait..." he said.
In the sky behind the army formation, there was a sudden change. A Hai Dongqing flying in the night avoided the arrow and grabbed a hole on the outer wall of the hot air balloon in the air. The balloon is falling slowly.
In front of the formation, the soldiers who saw this scene lit the fuse, and the salvo of artillery suddenly tore the night sky. In a moment, countless explosions rose up, shaking the ground!Standing on the side of the wooden wall, Wanyan Loushi witnessed the power of the artillery for the first time. He smashed the wooden wall in front of him with his fist, turned around abruptly, and left.
**************
The light of the fire rose with the explosion. Standing in front of the queue, Chen Libo could feel the shaking of the wooden camp gate.He was the company commander of He Zhicheng's First Regiment, First Battalion and Third Company. He was standing in the second row in the shield formation, and his companions were already clenching their knives.Seeing the explosion, the companion beside him tilted his head, and Chen Libo clearly saw the other's clenching his teeth.
"So what if the cavalry is strong, the enemy must be defended. No matter how many Jurchen cavalry is, there will be no baggage. Let's see what he will do with Wanyan Loushi."
"The hardest part is later, don't take it lightly. If it's like what the class said... uh..." Chen Libo was stunned for a while, suddenly thought of something, and then shook his head, it's not going to happen...
At this time, the artillery salvo had been completed, and half of the camp gates of the Jurchen camp in front were collapsed, and the rest were burning with flames and crumbling.The surrounding soldiers are already secretly inhaling, ready to charge.The next moment, the order came suddenly, and it was the cry of the loud-sounding messenger: "Messaging all departments, hold steady—"
Chen Libo raised his head and looked at the top of the wooden wall not far away: "What is that!"
With a bang, a Jurchen soldier threw a wooden barrel down, and then saw the long camp wall, all the wooden barrels were pushed down, some rolled down the slope, and some smashed directly. It smashed to the ground, the black liquid fell to the ground, and the pungent breath came over after a while.This hillside is not steep, and the black liquid will not spread to the place where the Huaxia Army is located, but after a while, the flames are burning fiercely, and what spreads in front of the Black Flag Army is a huge wall of fire.
That's kerosene.
In the Jurchen camp, Wanyan Loushi had already carried their guns and mounted their horses. The Jurchen soldiers who threw away the kerosene ran to their horses. The horn sounded.To the south, a total of [-] Jurchen cavalrymen had heard the signal and began to reverse and merge, forming a huge flood.
The more than [-] people in the Huaxia Army's rear formation suddenly began to shrink their formation. The shield in front was slammed into the ground, and the rear was supported by iron rods. Until it was too crowded to move.
The army's centerline and flanks had begun to rush back, and the soldiers of the special regiment pushed back the big bubble frantically.And the seven thousand Jurchen cavalry had merged into a tide, and the arrows rained down.
"Steady-"
A huge, hysterical cry--
Go back a moment in time, before firing.Qin Shaoqian looked up at the sky, at the speckled firelight in the distance, and frowned slightly: "Wait..." he said.
"The number of arrows is too small..."
This is the first confrontation between the Black Flag Army and the Jurchens. All strategic considerations are based on the Jurchen's almost invincible super combat power. They have their own self-confidence and pride, and Wanyan Loushi, It has the most dazzling record in almost the whole world.But the Black Flag Army had no reason to back down—because there was no way to back down. With artillery, the Black Flag Army resolutely chose the toughest way to play. Everyone calculated many possible situations, but There are always some things that are hard to imagine.
Wanyan Loushi really considered the Black Flag Army as an opponent, and even took the precaution of artillery and hot air balloons with unimaginable importance. Before the first confrontation, he evacuated the entire camp's baggage and infantry...
If you attack the enemy, you must defend it. If you think about it the other way around, will he stop defending?
On the right side of the front line, the sound of hooves was heard, not only under the hillside, but also on the side of the burning Jurchen camp. A cavalry was circling from the side. This time, the Jurchen came in full force. .
Chen Libo laughed suddenly, and he said to the surrounding subordinates, "It's not that simple."
"Evolution--"
The dense shield formation began to change direction, the spear forest was pressed down, and the simple iron horses were pushed out in front of the formation!Someone shouted: "What are we!?"
Countless people shouted.
"Hua! Xia—"
At this time, a wall of fire was spreading on the hillside, and not far below the hillside, the seven thousand Jurchen cavalry had already formed a charge, with no way forward, and there were chasing troops behind.
Chen Libo exhaled the breath in his chest and laughed horribly: "Stupid Jurchen..."
he thinks.
Ahead, the charge of the Jurchen cavalry has become more and more clear—
……
form a collision.
