(33) Counterattack
The serial horse is what Bai Yunqi saw in "The Complete Biography of Yue". He has never seen the specific real thing Bai Yunqi has ever seen. In "Water Margin", the heroes of Liangshan also suffered from this. Later, relying on the help of the golden gunman Xu Ning, he got the help of Dadao Guan Sheng's group.
Bai Yunqi didn't know what the Shanhuan Horse looked like. Wangwen's business, this thing should be to connect the horses together and then put on heavy protection. As early as when he first entered Duliang, Bai Yunqi found Jie Donghai and Jie Dongping, and explained the general meaning of the Shanhuan Horse, and then asked Jie Donghai to think about it. Jie Donghai was indeed a talent in manufacturing. He quickly made a general idea. Bai Yunqi saw that it was almost the same, ordered large-scale production, and then assembled it on the cavalry, and was trained by the formation master Jie Dongping. Bai Yunqi kept hiding this thing, just thinking of fighting an opponent on the battlefield, and this decisive battle was related to the overall situation. Bai Yunqi lit up all the treasures of his family, and Lianhuan Horse was no exception.
Each group of serial horses produced by Jie Donghai is composed of five horses, connected by iron chains, and wrapped in heavy armor. This thing is simply the natural enemy of the infantry team. Before the battle, Baiyun estimated that Ningyuan would rely on the large number of troops and would definitely use all the heavy cavalry to attack his wings, so he decided to put the serial horses in the middle and waited for the two wings of Zhang Chu army to be frustrated and suddenly launched a middle attack.
A chain of horses composed of 30,000 cavalry was in the center, carrying out the main assault, and behind them were 10,000 infantry to cover and cooperate with the attack. There were 10,000 light cavalry in the Later Wei Dynasty and 10,000 Chinese light cavalry in the Later Wei Dynasty. These were the last cavalry in Baiyunqi's hands. The so-called light cavalry was just wearing some simple armor, and the light cavalry pursued a high degree of maneuver. Most of the weapons of the Later Wei Dynasty cavalry were spears, while the light cavalry built by Baiyunqi had the weapons on their hands were light and sharp sabers, and each had a crossbow. The purpose of the armed cavalry was very obvious.
Standing on the high ground, the white clouds rose, looking at the rolling horses, looking at the entire battlefield, I felt the magnificence of the war in this cold weapon era, countless flags fluttering, countless swords and guns, and how small the personal power is on this battlefield.
Ning Yuan, who was always paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, also discovered the strangeness of the serial horses, "What is this?" Ning Yuan said to himself. Soon Ning Yuan thought of the scene of this thing rushing around in the camp composed of his infantry, and the cold sweat suddenly came down.
"What should I do?" Ning Yuan kept asking himself, countless thoughts emerged in his mind, and a voice kept telling himself that the most obvious choice now was to retreat the entire army, but the two wings had already launched a charge, and there was no possibility of retraction. Bai Yunqi was fighting at the critical moment, both the timing and the choice of points. Once the central army was shaken, there was no need to fight this battle. "You can't retreat even if you die!" This is what Ning Yuan was talking to him.
"Tell General Niu on the right, I will give him an hour to defeat the defense line of the Wei army. Come to see me with your head. Order General Zhang on the left to attack with all his strength and get entangled with his opponent as soon as possible." This is the only choice Ning Yuan can make. All hope can only be placed on the heavy cavalry team on the Youlu. As long as he fights the Wei army, Bai Yunqi's troops will be alone and will not be able to win. Even if he cannot win, he can maintain an unbeaten situation. As for the serial horses in the middle, it doesn't seem to be many. I have 100,000 troops in the middle, and there are 30,000 reserve teams behind him. I drowned these serial horses.
On the right battlefield, Zhang Chu's second impact echelon finally hit the infantry defense line of the Later Wei army. Although the thunder chariot was firing desperately, there were too many opponents of cavalry, and thousands of thunder bombs were thrown out. The losses caused were not too great in front of the cavalry that was hit at high speed. It seemed that the effect of this thing to deal with the cavalry was still a little worse. It would be better to have hundreds of howitzers. Bai Yunqi could only yy like this now. It depends on whether the infantry in the Later Wei army had the courage to fight to the death. Considering the huge pressure faced by the Later Wei army, Bai Yunqi transferred the last 20,000 infantry to the left (the opponent's right), and now he had to resist with infantry.
"Kill!" The Zhang Chu cavalry, who was in a cone assault formation, slammed the leading Infantry Infantry, a thousand-man infantry in the Later Wei Dynasty, but no one took a step back and fought back with the spear in his hand. Those who were knocked down would poke the horse's belly with the spear in their hands. The entire Later Wei army burst out with a mortal aura. One thousand-man team was dispersed, and the other thousand-man team came forward. The scattered soldiers were still waving the spear in their hands to fight each other, and no one chose to escape.
The powerful crossbow soldiers used the cover of the flesh-and-blooded city built by infantry and fired desperately. The thunderbolt chariots were constantly shooting bombs. The fierce Zhang Chuzhong cavalry kept rushing forward. Although they were very powerful, they were blocked by tens of thousands of Later Wei infantry. Seeing that Zhang Chu cavalry was about to break through the last infantry defense line, the 20,000 infantry dispatched by Bai Yunqi blocked again. The Zhang Chu cavalry was still fighting desperately, but the momentum had been severely damaged. The attack of 50,000 cavalry, and at most 30,000 were still fighting in half an hour.
In the middle, Bai Yunqi's high hopes of the chain horse finally approached the enemy formation. Facing countless spears, the chain horses hit the front-end Zhang Chu army in a drizzle. Zhang Chu's strong slave soldiers took advantage of the opportunity of the chain horse's descent and began to greet the opponent with the most dense rain of arrows, but something disappointed them happened. The crossbow arrows were jingling on the chain horse, but there was no effect at all. The infantry team's spear formation only put a few chain horses at the front. What hated the most was that even if the cavalry was poked down, as long as one group of chain horses had another cavalry, they could control the chain horses to continue to attack. Even if all the cavalry were stabbed down, the chain horses continued to rush forward.
This shocked Zhang Chujun. What kind of thing is this? It is so powerful. Teams of Zhang Chu infantry were in chaos under the impact of a chain of horses, and were soon trampled into meat sauce by the chain of horses behind. The chain of horses, as a killer weapon, played the expected role. Zhang Chu's army's position began to shake under the strong impact.
On the left battlefield, when Zhang Chu's army launched a charge, the Chinese army began to retreat in a planned manner. The heavy infantry team broke the rear, and the thunderbolt chariot retreated and launched the thunderbolt chariots. Tens of thousands of troops could even be orderly in action. This was all thanks to Bai Yunqi's queue training. The left army steadily fought and retreated, and stuck to the opponent tightly. Although Zhang Chu's army wanted to rush to the opponent, the dense infantry storm-shaped type was the best target for the thunderbolt chariots. It exploded continuously and exploded one by one to break up one neat team. It was impossible for Zhang Chu's army to organize a decent charge. Even if a few people ran fast to catch up with the Chinese army, they were hit by the strong blockade of the heavy infantry and became the target of the crossbows behind the heavy infantry.
Ning Yuan did not expect that the battle would be like this. Not only did the cavalry attack on the right side did not work, but the left side was now in a situation where they could not advance or retreat, and the middle side was also turned upside down by their opponents. In the past, the vulnerable Later Wei army did not know what Bai Yunqi had eaten for them. They could still remain calm under the repeated attacks of 100,000 cavalrymen. Looking at the Later Wei soldiers, they all seemed crazy. Even the dying soldiers fell to the ground and dying soldiers would use the guys they could find to give them a try.
Ning Yuan suddenly felt a shock. He thought that Bai Yunqi had fallen into his trap, but now he realized that Bai Yunqi was actually following the flow. Bai Yunqi hoped to have a decisive battle more than he did. After all, Zhang Chu is the largest country in the four Central Plains. As long as he practices patiently for three to five years and joins the Huns, it is impossible for China to withstand the attacks on both sides. It seems that this time the king ordered the attack on Qizhou to supplement his own plan by plundering is likely to be a failure.
Time could no longer allow Ning Yuan to hesitate. Seeing the middle road shaken, one infantry team after another was like a tile in front of the serial horses, and the ten thousand infantry following the serial horses could always take advantage of the situation in time. It seemed that there was no possibility of victory in this battle.
"Order the right side to retreat, the cavalry retreat while fighting, and the right reserve team immediately reinforces the middle lane to fight the infantry that cooperates with the attack. Order the left side to quickly get rid of the opponent, the middle lane, all the reserve teams will be given to me, and you must block these weird cavalry."
Ning Yuan is worthy of being the rising star among Zhang Chu's army. Seeing that there was no hope of winning, he immediately stopped and a series of orders were put into practice.
The Zhang Chu cavalry on the right quickly relied on the speed of the horse and quickly left the battlefield. Seeing that Zhang Chu's reserve team came up, Bai Yunqi could only helplessly order the middle army to retreat. The serial horses stopped and continued to attack and began to retreat. After an hour of continuous attack, the serial horses reached the limit of their physical fitness. It was time to retreat.
Although Ning Yuan's order was very good, the army retreated and could not leave as soon as they wanted to. Especially Zhang Chu's left side, he was discovered by Bai Yunqi just when he wanted to make some moves. At this time, the 20,000 light cavalrymen in Bai Yunqi's hand came in handy.
"Brother! Take 20,000 cavalry and intercept Zhang Chu's retreat on the left side." Bai Yun called Bai Yunfan, and the final counterattack was finally about to begin.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Bai Yunqi didn't take the airs of his elder brother. After saluting, he turned over and got on the horse. The 20,000 cavalry were eager to try. Bai Yunqi called the elder brother who had always taken great care of him and said, "Take care!"
Bai Yun nodded slightly and showed a smile.
"Rise the sword!" Ten thousand Chinese cavalry raised a shining sabers, and another ten thousand Later Wei cavalry said that they were spears, and swords and guns shone in the scorching afternoon sun, and a momentum of unyielding appeared in this team.
"Kill!" After a roar, the three armies shouted together, and 20,000 cavalry rushed out like a whirlwind.
