Chapter 744 Invincible Invincible Captain Gao
The Battle of Tongwancheng has already affected the life and death of the Dabai Gao Kingdom! It also vaguely involves the rise and fall of the Daliao Kingdom.
When thousands of arrows were fired in Tongwan City, the army of 20,000 Dangxiang was galloping southwest along the Wuding River. The sound of thousands of horses galloping seemed earth-shaking on the desolate northern Shaanxi land.
Xiao Heda was right in front of the entire army, wearing a helmet and armor, and was vigorously energetic, and he couldn't help but cheer up the soldiers around him with a hoarse voice.
Although Xiao Heda tried his best to conceal the news of Tongwan's defeat, when his troops passed by near Tongwan City yesterday, everyone saw the fire ignited in Tongwan. As long as they had a little brain, they could guess that something was wrong.
However, Xiao Heda's own emotions were not much higher. Because he also knew that the situation was very bad! Not only was Tongwancheng miraculously captured by the Song army, but also because the most powerful force of Xixia, the Iron Harrier, was severely damaged in the north of Tongwancheng! Although the loss was not big, the loss was ugly.
The cavalry, which was famous for the armored cavalry attacks in the world, was actually defeated by the assault of the armored cavalry of the Song army. Moreover, after only a while, they defeated more than 200 Iron Harrier Cavalry!
Xiao Heda, who is an expert in cavalry, understands the significance of it very well! The Song army already has the best armored cavalry in the world! No wonder everyone says that Zhao Ji is a Khan of the Heavenly Khan. He now has even the Xuan Armored Cavalry!
In fact, even the Khitan did not have the armored cavalry that could crush the Iron Harrier. The Khitan cavalry mainly focused on cavalry shooting, and was characterized by "light but not regular". They were not good at frontal assault. The Khitan warriors in the early years may be able to attack armored cavalry assault, but this Khitan did not have such ability.
But the Song army has such an armored cavalry! It’s really terrible to think about it!
And what's even more terrifying is that there is actually no suspense in the outcome of the Battle of Tongwan City.
At least in Xiao Heda's view, the possibility of King Cha Ge of Jin regaining Tongwan City is almost non-existent.
Because there is Gao Qiu, the first general of the Song Dynasty in Tongwan City! There is also the three emperors in the imperial front that Gao Qiu trained, and the Song army is still under the stake. Why can Brother Cha win?
Therefore, besieging the city and attacking aid is the only opportunity to severely damage the Song army. Although it cannot save the defeat of Tongwancheng and the Eastern Front, it can delay the pace of the Song army's advancement and win a turning point for the Dabai Gaoguo.
However, Dangxiang people who lost the Wuding River Basin and the Hetao land could never establish a country in Xingling Second State. The so-called turning point was just an opportunity to move west calmly.
But who will own the Xingling two states that Dangxiang people gave up?
Return to the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty?
Xiao Heda, who was full of worries, did not notice that several cavalry came running towards him. He hurriedly tied the reins until his close friend reminded him.
"Tongjun!" A leading scout cavalry shouted loudly on the horse's back, "Report to the commander, twenty miles west of the Sanchakou in front, the traces of the Song army were found!"
It's indeed here!
Xiao Heda suddenly stood up in the stirrups and shouted loudly: "The warriors of the Great Bai Gao Kingdom, Song Gou's soldiers are coming to Sanchakou! We also work harder and occupy Sanchakou before them! Grab Sanchakou and beat Song Gouwang!"
Sanchakou is also on the banks of Wuding River, located between Youzhou, Hongzhou and Tongwancheng. There is an official road leading to the three places, so it is called Sanchakou. In addition, the terrain around Sanchakou is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to attack and aid.
Xiao Heda shouted, slightly arousing the morale of his subordinates. Everyone unconsciously responded: "Snatch the Sanchakou and beat Song Goubing!"
If you beat Song Gou, you can relieve your hatred even if you shout!
...
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy..."
When the neat slogan sounded, the spear like a forest and the palace soldiers like a wall replaced the warriors holding bows and arrows, and appeared at the gap in the east wall of Tongwan City.
"Long spear?"
Brother Cha, who was standing in the stirrup and stretched his neck to watch, couldn't help but mutter, with a little surprise.
The spear soldiers are usually not the opponents of the sword and shield soldiers. The Song army has very strong combat power but does not use the sword and shield soldiers, but uses the spear to fight against the garrison troops holding sword and shield... It seems that the Buddha is blessing the Great Bai Kingdom!
"The first row, the second row, the spear is flat!"
With the shout of commander Wu Song, the nearly 100 spearmen commanded by Wu Jian all flattened the spears that were as long as one and a half feet long in their hands.
"The third row, the fourth row, raise your gun and move forward!"
Then Wu Song issued an order to another spearman.
Because the organization and officers of the Dragon-Yulong Weizhi and the Dragon-Yulong Weizhi have been standardized to a certain extent. Therefore, each command subordinate is interchangeable. Now, the two warriors under Wu Song have been subtracted and two spears have been added.
"The fifth row, draw the sword and supervise the battle!"
"The rest of the warriors, bows and arrows are ready..."
With Wu Song's orders, the command of less than 500 people suddenly seemed to be a little difficult to shake. It was in sharp contrast with the Xixia garrison's garrison's garrison's garrison's garrison's garrison, which was charging with feather arrows shooting from the city walls on both sides.
"rush!"
Wu Song shouted loudly.
The harsh whistle sounded, and the soldiers holding the spear immediately began to charge forward with neat steps!
"This formation is also..."
The Dangxiang Garrison Army's team, when Ali looked at the spear that was moving towards the wall, suddenly felt like his scalp was numb.
Although the spear is long, it is not flexible. If it is one-on-one, a sword (sword) and shield soldier with better martial arts can defeat the spear soldiers.
But hundreds of spears formed a wall, how should we break it?
There are many Dangxiang fighters who want to ask about the same question, but they will never get the answer in their lifetime.
Because the spear that was entering like a wall came to them in a blink of an eye!
They either run away or... go to die!
Fang Dang Ali really wanted to escape, but the Xixia army still had military discipline. Today, it was King Cha Ge of Jin who supervised the battle.
Retreat without orders is also a dead end. One is death in battle and the other is beheading for crimes. For families, it is completely different treatment!
Thinking of this, he had to roar: "Those who retreated will die... kill Song Gou!" Then he raised his shield and rushed forward against his scalp.
Wu Jian's subordinates were also fighting against the battlefield. The fighting will of the palace soldiers could not be compared with the warriors. They were recruited as military soldiers at first, and there was no special reward. Most of them had not even practiced martial arts seriously.
Apart from the formation, raising guns and slapping spears, they had no other combat skills. As the saying goes, those who are good at craftsmanship are not very good at martial arts, so they naturally have less courage. During the previous battles in Tongwan City, there were several incidents where pike soldiers refused to follow orders and refused to rush to the formation.
Therefore, the military command was adjusted, and the spearmen and warriors were mixed together, and the warriors holding swords and shields were arranged behind the spearmen. Once they were in charge of the spearmen, if the spearmen retreated without orders, they would be killed without mercy!
Secondly, these sword and shield warriors must also go forward to fight with the enemy after the spearmen's rush to expand the results of the battle, and also cover the spearmen's retreat.
The effect of spearmen rushing in dense formations or squeezing the enemy is undoubtedly good, but soldiers holding spears more than ten feet long cannot go to the battlefield alone. Archers and sword and shield soldiers must provide cover and support, otherwise after the rushing ends, they will easily become the targets of the opponent's sword and shield soldiers.
The bloody collision happened in a blink of an eye! The tips of hundreds of spears, carrying the strong wind, came with an unstoppable momentum through the inertia generated by the gunman's running. He rushed to the room in the first row. When Ali raised his shield to block the oncoming spear. But then there was a crisp sound. Ali knew it was not good and wanted to dodge, but he was half a beat slower. His wooden shield was pierced by the spear, and the pointed and long spear tip then pierced into his leather armor and pierced into his body.
The severe pain came from his right chest. Fangdang Ali screamed. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or the fear. He couldn't use all his strength at all. He couldn't even hold the knife. He grabbed the spear that pierced his body with one hand, but he didn't know what to do?
Can I still rescue my spear if I pierce my chest?
At this moment, the spear began to pull back and forcefully. The power of the retraction was very strong, and Ali couldn't hold the spear at all. As the tip of the spear was pulled out from his right chest, blood also shot out. Ali fell down with his wounds, and severe pain and fear lingered in him. He cried and screamed, hoping that someone could save him, but forgot that he was actually dead!
When the spearmen retreated, the warriors who were originally the supervisor team divided into two groups and rushed out from the left and right of the spearmen, like tigers down the mountain, slashing at the completely stunned Xixia soldiers and driving them away from the broken corner of the city wall.
At the same time, more warriors shot feather arrows in rounds, trying to suppress the firepower of the Western Xia archers.
"How could this spear be so powerful!"
Brother Cha witnessed a crushing defeat ahead, his face turned pale and his lips trembled a little.
The Song army not only had sharp cavalry but also invincible warriors, but now even the simplest spear is so easy to play.
The spear advanced like a wall and retreated like a wind, leaving only dead bodies on the ground, and it took a lot of effort to repel the garrison's charge!
Then the sword and shield soldiers rushed up to finish the sword, and the cooperation was perfect!
This set of tactics looks better than your own style of playing. If you can't do it, you can't fight stupidly.
"Ming Jin!"
Brother Cha gritted his teeth and ordered, and then called Li Liangfu and Ji La Arong to the front of him.
It is impossible to give up the attack, it has just begun! How could Brother Cha admit defeat and leave? But he can learn from the enemy.
Chapter completed!
