Chapter 346: Battle of Shilipu ()
Yun Zhao's target was not Tuotuo. He seemed to be rushing forward fiercely, but the angle of entry was extremely clever. He kept adjusting the direction of his advance at a very small angle during his journey. At first glance, he seemed to be moving forward on a straight line, but as he moved closer and closer, he suddenly realized that from the location when the other party set out, Yun Zhao had already deviated hundreds of meters away. This deviation avoided Tuotuo's thickest central military force far away.
When Tutuo discovered this, he was no longer able to change this fact. The rushing cavalry was like a violent tide. Once it was launched, it was extremely difficult to turn around, and it was to turn the direction. It was difficult for such a large-scale cavalry to turn the troops in hasty.
The boat is small and can turn around. Yun Zhao's five hundred cavalrymen do this, and it seems easy to do it with premeditation in advance. Chapter 346: The Battle of Shilipu (6). He was too difficult to get out of the dilemma, either continue to move forward and turn a big bend to pursue Yun Zhao, but in this way, his back was completely sold to the Anqing infantry who was rushing behind Yun Zhao. If you don't care about Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao's purpose was undoubtedly his main force who was fighting on the top of the slope.
In an instant, Tuotuo's thoughts took several rounds and finally decided not to care about Yun Zhao and defeat the infantry behind him. He placed his hope on the one thousand cavalry of Lacason. At this time, he was extremely grateful to old Lacason for his persistence, otherwise he would have to swallow the bitter fruit now.
Yun Zhao was as powerful as a bamboo shoot. The breakthrough point he chose was Tuotuo's weak flanks. Beside him, whether it was himself or briefly, Jiang Xu and Yan Xiaoyi were all powerful generals. With the four of them as the arrows, this huge arrowhead of 500 people directly broke through the flank of Guoluo. Along the way, people were tilted up and overturned, screaming endlessly. In a flash, they had broken through the enemy formation. In the past, Yun Zhao grabbed the horse's belly, and the dark clouds nippled on the snow. He shook his head and tail, and accelerated again with great excitement. In the fierce battle just now, it bit its hooves and fucked more than a dozen war horses. Chapter 346: Battle of Shilipu (6) was proud!
"Happy!" Jianshu wiped the blood from his face and laughed to the sky. His thigh was dragged by a saber. If it weren't for the excellent quality of Kaijia, it would be very likely that his entire thigh would have been cut off. At this time, Kaijia was cut out a crack, and the blood was oozing out. The black cone's belly dyed red.
Five hundred cavalry rushed out of the enemy formation at a very small price. Yun Zhao looked back. Familiar faces appeared one by one and nodded with satisfaction. "Brothers, move forward!"
"Go forward!" A thunderous roar came from behind.
"Go forward!" Jianshu also shouted loudly.
Yun Zhao rushed forward quickly by destroying the horse, briefly following closely.
"General Jian, good kung fu!" Yun Zhao gave a thumbs up.
"It's far worse than you!" Jian Shu said with a smile.
"Come again?"
"Come again!"
In front of them, Lacasson led a thousand cavalry to rush up. Lacasson left a thousand cavalry, which was just a habit. He never expected that Tuotuo's four thousand cavalry could not even block the opponent. The opponent had just an extremely simple tactical change, so he successfully deceived Tuotuo, cut off one of his own corners, got rid of Tuotuo, and rushed out. At this time, Lacasson had already understood what the opponent meant. They were going to give a fatal blow to the already exhausted Mongolian army and defeat his main force on the gentle slope.
There were not many people on the other side, but they were extremely elite. Such a new force suddenly rushed from behind, enough to become the last straw that broke the camel's back. Now, the task to stop them undoubtedly fell on him. Seeing that Tuotuo did not turn around, he understood that it was all up to him.
"Hold them!" Lacasson pulled out the saber that had not been unsheathed for a long time, but his arms were a little sore. "After all, I'm old!" Seeing the enemy who was rushing towards him like a storm, Lacasson sighed silently in his heart.
On the slope, seeing the main force of Anqing appear, Ding Qiu, Meng Yao and their soldiers were all excited, and their bodies were once again filled with energy. The critical time came, and now it depends on whether Yun Zhao and the others rushed out of the enemy's obstacle first, or the enemy on the slope would blow over them first.
"Kill the barbarian dog!" Ding Qiu's voice was hoarse. He tried his best to hear the words he shouted, but only a few people around him could hear them, but everyone understood what Ding Qiu meant. They shouted wildly, erecting long spears, sweeping the round shield, holding daggers, and rushing to death. Luo Huazhang's crossbow soldiers had already shot all the crossbow arrows. At this time, they threw the crossbow to the ground. They pulled out the horizontal sword from their waists, and some picked up the spears from the ground, and roared and rushed up. The morale of the top of the slope was greatly boosted, and it actually expanded the circle again. In the center of the circle, a small school holding the general with the Meng character in his hand hung dozens of arrows, like a hedgehog, but they still stood firmly in the center.
Ding Qiu was as powerful as a mad tiger. Every time the heavy Mo knife slashed, the blood light that soared into the sky suddenly rose. It was noon, and when a person was in full swing, his head was cut off, and blood soared into the sky like a fountain. Along the defense circle of the Third Battalion of Anqing, the bodies were built into a circle.
Su Dingfang looked at the cavalry of Tuotuo Guoluo who rushed over, and his face was not vague. All of this was Yun Zhao's previous plan. Since Yun Zhao had made the decision, this battle was already a victory. Seeing the fierce cavalry coming, Su Dingfang ordered in a low voice: "Ding!"
The infantry of the first battalion quickly formed the array, and almost at the same time, the second battalion, which came side by side with the first battalion, stopped. The two troops arranged the array at an extremely fast speed. While arriving, the two battalions dragged dozens of bed crossbows from the array at the same time. Cleverly, the crossbows on both sides were arranged obliquely, and the direction pointed by the crossbows just blocked the impact path of the opponent's cavalry.
"Let me!" With a command, the buzzing sounds of hundreds of bed crossbows covered the people on the battlefield and neighed the horses. The two-meter-long crossbow arrows gathered in the air to form a black storm, shooting towards the dense cavalry.
"Bed crossbow!" All the cavalrymen of Guoluo team changed their expressions.
The crossbow was heavy and not easy to carry, but in Anqing, Jiang Feng summoned a group of carpenters and installed these crossbows onto two-wheeled flatbed trucks. In this way, a pack horse, a donkey, or two or three soldiers could easily pull up a crossbow and run, greatly improving the shortcomings of the crossbow that was not easy to be used in field combat before.
Hundreds of bed crossings crossed the battlefield, and the momentum it caused was frightening. Its power was far more than thousands of feather arrows. Everyone understood that if you hit a feather arrow, as long as you don’t hit the vital point or shoot on the armor, you will suffer a little injury at most. If you are lucky, you may not even wipe off the oily skin. However, this kind of bed crossbow will be killed when you hit it, and you will die when you wipe it. Although it is extremely easy to die when you hit it, even if you are thrown by his tail, you will inevitably be seriously injured and fall off the horse.
The black storm swept across the battlefield, and the galloping cavalry suddenly sank into a large area, screaming endlessly. Someone was hit by a crossbow arrow. The huge crossbow shot the chest out of the hole as big as a bowl, through the human body, and then shot at the second person. Because the power was too great, the soldier who was shot through the chest was still riding on the horse and galloping forward for several steps before falling off the horse. The person who was hit the second time, because the power of the crossbow had been weakened and he was unable to penetrate directly like before. Most of the powerful crossbow shot into the body. The powerful impact force was only manifested at this time. The crossbow arrow flew out from a distance with the knights, smashing the knights behind him into chaos. The charging horse team became messy under the first round of crossbow arrows.
"Accelerate, accelerate!" Tuotuo's voice changed a little. Just now, a crossbow arrow flew over him, shooting several personal soldiers around him. "The bed crossbow fires slowly. If you don't want to die, you will accelerate the charge and rush forward."
The crossbow has extremely slow firing speed, but its range is extremely long. The range of up to thousands of meters allows them to shoot two to three rounds in an orderly manner, which depends on the personal quality of the launching soldiers.
After two or three rounds of shooting, the enemy cavalry had already been about four hundred steps. The crossbow was quickly dragged into a row, forming an obstacle in front of the infantry. Beneath the two long handles of the flatbed cart, there were two drooping pointed cones. The crossbow soldiers pressed the handlebars down hard, nailing the two pointed cones deep into the soil under their feet. The crossbow raised the high, raising the obstacle a little again.
The bed crossbow is also an extremely precious long-range attack weapon for Dayue soldiers. Generally speaking, after the attack cannot be carried out, they will retreat behind the infantry. However, after Yun Zhao was in charge of the Anqing border army, this military routine that had been pursued in Dayue for hundreds of years was broken.
"No matter how precious the arms are, they are not as good as the lives of their brothers!" Yun Zhao told his soldiers, "The crossbow is broken and broken, and all they lose is silver. As long as there is silver, we must buy and repair it again, but if the lives are gone, no matter how much gold and silver you have, we cannot buy back."
Therefore, after the bed crossbow lost its long-range strike effect, it became the first obstacle to the attack of the enemy cavalry among the Anqing border army. This change also made Tuotuo feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing the bed crossbows horizontally in front of the army, the cavalry's horse speed decreased independently.
Rows of spearmen stood up and placed the spear about three meters long on the crossbow. Su Dingfang stood side by side with the remaining Mo Daomen. Withstand the opponent's attack, as long as Yun Zhao succeeded, Tuotuo had to turn back to rescue. At that time, it was the time when the Anqing border army harvested.
Yun Zhao once again pulled out Pojun, took an iron arrow, and circled Pojun with force. The arrow pointed to the opponent's central army flag moving rapidly towards this side.
With a muffled sound, the iron arrow broke through the air.
"Kill!" Lacasson's white hair flew away and shouted loudly.
With a loud noise, the screams of the personal soldiers came from beside him. Lacasson's heart sank. When he turned to look, the central army flying high behind him broke the flag pole from one to two, and knocked the flag down with a rustling sound. (To be continued.
