Chapter 173 Red and Blue Double Flags
Chapter 173 Red and Blue Flags
Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, while those who are good at guarding hide below the nine earths!
Although the light cavalry of the Sui army was mixed with about half of the new recruits, most of them were hunters, and they were all riding and shooting at the base. When they moved, although they could not be called moving above the nine heavens, they also attacked like thunder, with a powerful momentum.
Suddenly, he had a good idea, but he believed that he had many troops and horses, and planned to surround the Sui cavalry. They could not do it in the siege, but they were proud of the cavalry of the wild boar skinned cavalry.
As long as he surrounded this cavalry, in his opinion, there was no need to waste his brains on what would happen next. As far as he knew, the Sui army in the city was only about 4,000, while the cavalry now had about 2,000.
Since this cavalry came out to fight them in the field outside the city, of course he was extremely happy. As long as he surrounded and annihilated these two thousand men, then there would be only two thousand men left in Fuyu City. It would undoubtedly be very difficult to guard such a vast city with two thousand men.
By then, his more than 10,000 troops, even if he lacks the skills to attack the city, would have confidence to take it. Maybe they wouldn't have to wait too long, and they would be able to spend the night in the city before dark. Piles of treasures, food, and women were waiting for them.
But the cavalry in front of him was shocked, and a torrent of steel rolled in like a sharp arrow. The whole world seemed to be filled with the sound of the Sui cavalry's rumbling horse hooves. Within the sight, there were waves of smoke and dust stomping out of the horse hooves everywhere.
The speed of the cavalry was shocking, not inferior to that of the mars who had been riding since childhood. The crossbow arrows that could fire continuously caused heavy losses to the entire defenseless mars cavalry. In an instant, five or six hundred knights fell off their horses.
As for their proud riding and shooting, he only saw dozens of people falling down on the other side, which made him completely unbelievable.
The cavalry hedge comes in a flash!
Facing the Sui cavalry's endless three consecutive crossbow arrows, bows, round shields, and guns, he suddenly felt that the wild boar skins on them were so simple, which made him feel a little angry. Why were their bravest wild boar skins only wearing wild boar skins, while the damn Southern Sui people were wearing black bright light armors, and the big heart-protecting bronze mirrors could reflect a faint bright light.
The long rifle was so sharp that the little round shield could block their sharp arrows without mercy.
The surrounding area was surrounded by a ridiculous force at this time, and the Sui army was penetrated calmly and sharply by the Sui army like a sharp arrow. When the Sui cavalry had already penetrated the entire central army formation, several troops sent by Tuli had just arrived, and even the horses of the Sui cavalry were not caught.
In just one round, they fell down six or seven hundred wild boar skin knights, while the Sui cavalry left on the battlefield by them only had dozens of cavalry. Such a large battle loss comparison is something that Tuli has never happened since he inherited the patriarch of the Sumoshui tribe. Their Sumoshui tribe is known as a strong clan in the Mart, but there are only a few thousand elite cavalry in the clan. Now there are only one round, and their more than 10,000 people have lost six or seven hundred cavalry to fight against two thousand people.
Luo Lin rushed straight, holding a horse spear, and followed him closely by the flag officer and flag guard team beside him. After more than a year, the three brothers of the Li family put on armor and went into battle again. They originally thought that the two thousand soldiers mixed with half of the recruits would fight against the hardships of the wild boar-skin knights from the hunting nation outside the city. However, until they rushed through the array of the Marines, they still couldn't believe the situation in front of them.
Their two thousand people easily broke through the array of the Mart Cavalry. What's more important is that they found that their own troops were basically not lost, but the Mart Cavalry fell in large numbers. As the cavalry captains of the Left Guard a year ago, they were no longer rookies in cavalry warfare. They even fought a large cavalry war with more than 10,000 people with the Turks, but even such a war was not as great as the battle in front of them today.
The three brothers were all very shocked. Luo Lin was just a sixteen-year-old boy. His ability to lead troops was no longer as good as his performance as they had been tempered in the army for many years.
After Luo Lin led his troops to rush through the formation of the Marines, he did not immediately turn back and continue to rush forward. Instead, he directly led his troops and horses to continue rushing forward, and after a long distance, the messenger beside him took two flags, raised them high, and started a set of flag words.
When the Sui army was fighting, the commanders of their respective central army commanded the overall situation, and then passed orders to the army through the 12 drummers and 12 horn hands beside them. There was also a special team of flag bearers who sent orders to generals in several directions in the formation. The general also sent orders to soldiers of each unit through his own flag bearers. This is a complete set of three-level command combat methods.
However, although the Sui army at this time used war drums and horns to send orders, and supplemented with the orders of the orders, the Sui army's orders were divided into several flags of different colors according to the organization of the troops in the army to command. Relatively speaking, it was still a bit behind the common flags in later generations. After studying the flags of the Sui army, Chen Kefu made some changes based on the flags in later generations. He had a special order flag soldiers, who held two flags, one blue and one red, and had a complete set of gestures. Different gesture combinations represented different meanings.
For specially trained messengers, they can pass on many military orders according to the flag language, but Chen Kefu considered that it was impossible for everyone in the army to carry such a complicated thing. He divided the flag language into two sets, one complete version, with dozens of gestures, which can clearly convey complete military orders to the messengers of another unit in the distance. The other set is a simplified version, which is specially used for combat units of the troops. Like the drum sound, there are not many commands, only including a dozen simple commands such as charge, stop, left, right, and turn around.
But no matter what, this can clearly convey the commander's orders in the rumbling sound of horse hooves. Especially when the cavalry troops are fighting, it is impossible for the Sui army to bring a complete set of guys such as war drums, horns, and gongs. The flag is light and can express more meanings, making it convenient for use during the day.
The cavalrymen who kept rushing forward saw the orders of the messenger turning around, forming a team, and charging in triangular formations. The cavalry began to slow down without hesitation, turn around, and the back team turned into front teams, completing a formation transition while running, and a triangle arrow formation filled with black was formed again.
Although Luo Lin is younger than the three brothers Li Chengyi and even has less than a year of experience in the army, he has been with Chen Kefu for so long. He has always been Chen Kefu's personal guard captain. Chen Kefu has always been generous in teaching this young personal guard captain. Basically, Luo Lin can almost do the cavalry tactics that Chen Kefu has combined ancient and modern times.
Chen Kefu likes to use elite equipment advantages to attack the enemy, and he learns a single move. Although it is a cavalry battle, he does not blindly engage in hedging and engage in battles. Instead, after each charge, he tries to widen the distance between the two sides, then restring the crossbow arrows, and adjusts the somewhat scattered formation in the high-speed charge battle. Then, he starts to repeat the previous tactics of using a crossbow from a long distance, then use a bow, and then rushing past with a rifle. Anyway, he just refuses to stay in stalemate with the wild boar skin knights of the mars.
What he really deals with the wild boar skin knights was not their long sharp rifle, but the crossbow in each person's hand. When dealing with the Mars Knight who was only wearing wild boar skin but not much iron armor, this was the sharpest and most convenient way.
On the Fuyu City Tower in the distance, Li Benlei and several battalion commanders were watching the battle. Seeing Luo Lin below completing a charge without any delay. The old man couldn't help but say happily, "Ro Lin is a good boy. He has already had some skills in using military force. It seems that he has been with the commander for so long, and it's not in vain."
The other battalion commanders looked at Luo Lin below with some envy. According to military qualifications, they were also old men who broke into the military camp. Moreover, when Luo Lin was the team leader, they were also the team leader, but Luo Lin was lucky. Not only did he become the captain of the commander of the commander's personal guard, but he was promoted to several levels in succession. Now he has become the commander of the elite Light Cavalry Independent Regiment, commanding two thousand elites under his command. Maybe it won't take long to be able to advance and take the rank of brigade general. Looking at them, they are still the battalion commanders of the lieutenant colonel, they are a little envious.
"General, let me lead the first battalion to fight. Now Commander Luo has the upper hand. As long as you charge two more rounds of times, these wild boar skins will be almost out of their morale. At this time, we just went out of the city to attack them, defeated them in one fell swoop, and then destroyed their batch of equipment." Wei Shanhu, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion who was drawn from the Second Division, couldn't help but ask.
Seeing others galloping around and making contributions, but I could only watch it, this undoubtedly made the officers, unable to stand still.
Li Benlei's eyes were always staring at the battle sides, and his eyes were constantly searching for the positions of his three grandchildren in the team. Unfortunately, they were too far apart. Except for the ones who could see the same black blurry armor, the rest could not see clearly which one was his grandchildren.
