The forty-eighth chapter, the strong man fights the wild man 1
Chapter 48: The hero is fighting against the Human (1)
Zhuan Si raised the sword in his hand high, which triggered the three thousand cavalrymen to respond loudly. He roared loudly, "Sinan Si people have been shaken! Let's fight, for the glory of the great sweat!" The cavalry loosened the reins and followed the main general to start small steps and run quickly.
Zheng Yunming stood at the top of the city and saw the cavalry formation on the front of the opponent actually unfolding into a cone formation. The cavalrymen opened up and rushed towards Wang Deng's trilayer formation, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Wu Qian said worriedly: "This formation is like a sharp blade, as if it is about to cut the troops led by Wang into two in the middle. Can Commander Wang really withstand such a powerful formation?"
Zheng Yunming showed a rare smile: "I think Jing Song will definitely win if the enemy charges in such a formation."
Sure enough, when he saw the enemy's magnificent cone cavalry rushing towards him like lightning, Wang Deng was not afraid at all, but instead showed a look of joy on his face. He said proudly: "The Hu people are wrong, the whole army is on guard! Prepare for the third round!"
Zhenwu Army also burst into deafening shouts. Archers and powerful crossbowmen rushed forward and fired a wave of arrow rain towards the front of Zhuosi and the veterans. The Naiman cavalry in front danced the gang cards on their arms to cover them one by one, pushing countless arrow rain away and flying away.
In a blink of an eye, the arrows of the cavalry brigade rushed to the front of the horse. They jumped over the horse and rushed straight towards the spears of the Song army's vanguard. The huge impact inertia of the cone formation and the skillful assassination movements of the vanguard cavalry played a role. This time the impact easily broke through the two rows of spears in the front row of the Song army, breaking a small gap in the formation.
Wu Qian was shocked and said: "It's not good, Commander Wang's formation has been torn apart by the enemy!"
Zheng Yunming smiled at Zhao Kui and said, "Wang Jingsong will definitely defeat the enemy!" Zhao Kui also nodded with a relaxed face.
Sure enough, Ge Huai's roar like a bell came from the city: "The first team is not allowed to move without any movement! The second team comes forward!"
The second spearmen rushed forward and built a second line of defense in front of the sudden enemy vanguard. However, the assault power of the cone formation was extraordinary. Taking advantage of the power of breaking through the first spear defense line, the arrows of the Naiman cavalry collided with the second spear defense line. After a moment of fighting and fighting, the second spear defense line was quickly tore open.
Ge Huai shouted without changing his face: "Third team, come forward!"
Wu Qian understood something at this time. Wang Deng slightly widened the distance between every two rows of spearmen, giving the enemy cavalry a certain buffer space for conflict. When facing the cone cavalry assault, these spaces will allow the front row to absorb the impact force caused by the cavalry speed and give the back row time to reorganize the defense. The essence of the cone formation lies in the combat power of the arrows, and arrows are a minority after all. If it cannot break the enemy formation with one blow, it will inevitably fall into the siege of layers of enemy infantry.
This is also what Tasi is most worried about. The disadvantage of the cone formation is that a large number of cavalry are crowded in the center of the formation and cannot contact the enemy. They can only provide the entire team with the 48th chapter of the heroes who have crossed the sword to control the Human (1)
There is enough impact force, but once this impact force is absorbed by the enemy's formation, they will gather behind the blocked arrows and fight in a hand-to-hand combat posture with the enemy on both sides of the breakthrough, which is not a good sign.
Sure enough, in a flash, the third spear array had been deployed, and this time the impact of the cone formation had dropped significantly. The Naiman cavalry, the forward, began to use cavalry spears and short axes to kill the rigorous spear soldiers, hoping to get rid of these annoying roadblocking ghosts. But after fighting at close range, they finally lost the advantage of the cavalry.
At this time, the spearmen and sword players of the fourth team rushed forward without waiting for the general's orders, and grew weapons to cross the shoulders of their companions in front of them, and stabbed them at the enemy cavalry who were in trouble. The Naiman cavalry who stopped in front of the spear formation was simply a straw man target that they trained on weekdays. The spears were restricted from their movements, and they were poked off their war horses one by one.
At this time, the archers also rushed up from behind and shot arrows in the gap between the spearmen. Even the musketeers began to shoot musketeers through the gap between the formation.
The battle line between the two sides became extremely chaotic in an instant, but Wang Deng knew that this chaos was the advantage for his side. The Naiman cavalry, who were blocked in front of a large number of infantry defense lines, could do nothing.
He has won this last third round.
"Incompetent!" Qu Qiu sat up from the sedan chair and whipped Zhuan Si's back with a fierce whip.
Bao Si's face was ashamed and lies on the ground without daring to move. After three clashes, the Song army gained nothing at all. Instead, it lost many elite cavalry. These were extremely precious cavalry in the grassland. Even if one of them was damaged, it was worthy of sweating and heartache.
What's even more terrible is the first confrontation between the army and the enemy when they entered the city of Xiangyang. It was a morale boost to the military and civilians of the Southern Dynasty. Even though they were so far away, they could see the flags shaking on the city wall. It was the Southern Dynasty celebrating its first victory.
He said in a deep voice: "Hu Duhu, go and fight! Let these Sinan Si people see what the real Mongolian cavalry is!"
Standing at the lower head, the short and stout Tu Mianhu Hu Duhu hugged his hands and turned around and prepared.
Tasi's thick black eyebrows frowned, and he whispered to the bend on the sedan chair: "Hu Duhu's command may not be above the scribble, and letting him challenge him may not be effective."
"Huduhu grew up on our grassland." Qu Chu waved his hand and said, "He knows how to deal with difficult opponents!"
Tasi was not good enough to say anything, so he had to turn around and continue looking at the military formation. King Qu Chu had always liked to decide on himself in front of the formation. Although he was seriously ill and kept saying that he wanted to transfer command to Tasi, he could not help but make decisions when it came to the confrontation.
Not to mention that he is sick at the moment, even when he was healthy last year, his command was not very clever. Of course, these words cannot be said in person.
But when I heard it, I suddenly turned against the quiver again. Chapter 48 of the heroes who beat Hu Man with a leap (1)
He ordered: "Go and catch up with Hu Duhu and tell him not to rush to attack first. Let Shi Tianze take the lead!"
This is a clever way. Ta thought about it. After all, Qu Chu is not a stupid person, and he still remembers how to fight.
When the Mongolians used troops, they were used to using foreign troops as the front drive, and the troops of the headquarters were left to be used in the final use. This was to have doubts about the loyalty of these foreign troops, and the second was to avoid the casualties of the Mongolian army in the headquarters. Since the conquest of the Song Dynasty last year, all Han people charged forward, and Mongolian soldiers followed him to attack.
This time, the Naiman soldiers were in the forefront in order to defeat the Song Dynasty's army that was leaving the city when it was full of energy and seize the courage of the soldiers and generals who defended the city. Unexpectedly, the war was not going smoothly, so we had to use last year's moves step by step.
Wang Deng widened his eyes and looked at the Northland cavalry who were retreating and reunited in the distance. The sweat on his cheeks penetrated into the iron armor along his neck and didn't bother to wipe them.
This is the tenth round. After the Naiman cavalry retreated, they experienced seven more rounds in the repeated battles of the ferocious and fierce northern Han cavalry.
The civil and military officials and soldiers guarding the city watched these seven thrilling rounds with their own eyes, and there was no extra word to express shocking mood.
Zheng Yunming looked at the already scattered military formation under the city with a solemn expression. For the first time in his life, he sincerely felt that it was his luck to have such a group of subordinates. He would rather not choose to escape or to be comfortable, as long as he could advance and retreat with such an army.
There were many gaps in the square formation, and corpses were everywhere. The injured gritted their teeth and endured the severe pain in their bodies and waited for the next wave of attacks from the enemy. Although most people did not receive serious injuries, they reached their limits in physical and mentality. At the most critical moment, Ge Huai personally led a team of soldiers to rush forward and chopped the enemy cavalry's legs with heavy axes. He pulled his hands and fought, and pushed back the Hebei cavalry who had already rushed into the hinterland of the formation. At this time, Ge Tongzheng, who had never been tired, was also sitting on the ground and gasping for breath. But he was gasping and laughing: "It's better to fight another hundred rounds!"
Wang Deng knew that it was impossible to fight another hundred rounds, or even another round. Outside the time Zheng Yunming asked, he and his Zhenwu Army had already supported five more rounds. Each extra round was a proof of an excellent army built by ruthless training and strict discipline over the past year. The premise of maintaining an ever-winning army in this era is that the core of the army must be veterans with more than ten years of experience in the battlefield, and they can adjust themselves when the commander is careless. The hasty Zhenwu Army obviously cannot do this, but being able to stand up for ten rounds in front of the enemy's cavalry is enough to prove that they are trusted troops in Xiangyang City.
The most surprising thing is Shi Tianze. During the southern expedition, Shi Tianze was determined to wash away the shame he suffered in Laoya Mountain last year. Chapter 48: The hero was fighting against Hu Man (1)
, with his outstanding military achievements to make himself stand out among the Han generals, Zhang Rou's invincible performance last year had surpassed everyone. Fortunately, this time he was sent by Qu to the De'an line to carry out the task of sweeping the flanks. He could face the Song army under Xiangyang City.
But this Song army made him feel like he was back to the embarrassing situation a year ago. Those who could maintain his formation after seven rounds under the ravage of his iron cavalry were rare even among the million-strong army of the Jin Kingdom. His northern cavalry had never failed in front of the Mongolian Xuanmai. This time, he had not taken down the enemy for so long. It is conceivable that Qu Chu and Tasi, behind him, had rapidly decreased the evaluation of the army and horses in the headquarters. The two guys Yan Shi and Liu Yi who were watching must have been happy in their hearts.
