Cao Xueyang's Guards Battalion is the most elite troops in the Longwu Army. Half of the soldiers are male and female. All of them are good at riding and shooting, and are proficient in marksmanship. They were trained by Cao Xueyang according to the original standards of the Tiance Army's dragon cavalry. Soldiers and horses.
Although it is called the Guards, it is actually the strongest cavalry in the Longwu Army. It can fire arrows with ten powerful arrows, shoot from left and right, and shoot on Pegasus. Its combat power is comparable to the iron cavalry of the Tiance Army.
Using it to rush forward and take advantage of the victory to break the formation is nothing less than aspiration.
"Okay!" Cao Xueyang said without the slightest hesitation, "I will transfer you 5,000 elite soldiers from the Guards Battalion and give you 7,000 cavalry, making a total of 12,000 cavalry."
Mrs. Yang Si was also very high-spirited, "I will bring the enemy's heads to see you!"
The chief governor of the Longwu Army was famous for beheading generals. In the Battle of Cangyunguan, Khan Kuochu of the Wo Kuotai Khanate was beheaded. In the Battle of the Northern Territory, Antu Timur, the Seventh Prince of Beigan, was beheaded. In the Battle of Jinyang, he was beheaded. Nurha Chi, Prince of the Later Jin Qing Dynasty.
Because of this, the most important achievement in the Longwu Army is to kill generals!
In the previous battle, Mrs. Yang fought against the fierce general Zhu Shihong of King Zhao's army. This man was a powerful general in King Zhao's rebel army and could be called King Zhao's right-hand man.
He and Zhang Shimei were both talented in literature and martial arts.
The fourth lady Yang killed Zhu Shihong, which greatly boosted the morale of King Zhao's rebels.
But in the battle just now, Cao Xueyang did not take advantage of Zhu Shihong's death.
This is a trump card that Cao Xueyang hid in order to use it at critical moments. Zhu Shihong's head and his big ax are the best symbols of his identity.
When the battle between Long Wu's army and King Zhao's army reaches a critical stage, showing Zhu Shihong's head and big ax will definitely have an unexpected effect.
…
"Woo~~~" As the horn sounded, the brief silence on the battlefield was broken again.
Zhao Wangjun launched another attack.
"put!"
A hail of arrows flew from King Zhao's army and fell towards Long Wu's army, accompanied by huge rocks thrown by dozens of catapults.
This boulder looks very powerful, but in fact it is not as powerful as expected.
Only three of the twenty-five stone bullets hit the Longwu Army's formation, and the others fell between the Longwu Army and Zhao Wang's Army without causing any damage.
Siege is really a technical job, and making siege equipment is even more technical job.
The predecessor of King Zhao's army was the Youzhou garrison, which was specifically responsible for fighting against Houjin. They were good at shooting and killing people, but they were not proficient in the technical work of siege.
What's more, Hou Jin didn't have any strong cities to conquer.
After two generations of restructuring by Kublai Khan and Yelu Chucai, Beigan learned the culture of the Central Plains and began to build cities and fortresses.
Later, the Jin Dynasty was still in its primary stage, and it was still dominated by nomadic tribes. Apart from its capital Shengjing, there was no decent big city.
In this case, the general would naturally not issue corresponding siege equipment to King Zhao's army.
The siege equipment in King Zhao's army was all made by themselves. Compared with the catapults in Longwu's army, which were specially designed for attack, the difference is the difference between flint cannons (early artillery) and rifled cannons. .
Long Wujun's tactics were very simple. After reading it once, Zhang Shimei wanted to use his methods to retaliate.
It's a pity that the Longwu Army's tactics require the support of equipment.
Facing the sudden and changing offensive of King Zhao's army, there was no confusion among the Longwu army. Under the command of the captain, they immediately launched a counterattack.
The arrows and flying stones of King Zhao's army caused about 200 casualties of Longwu's army, but what followed was an extremely sharp attack by Longwu's army.
Thunderbolt Flying Stone Chariot, as the name suggests, naturally comes with the word "Perak".
The stone bullets are specially made, with a large amount of fuel attached to the surface, so they can be easily ignited. And because of their special material, they will explode when they hit the ground. The flying gravel is enough to cause huge damage to the enemy.
Just one round of thunderbolt and flying stone chariot attacks caused more than a thousand casualties to King Zhao's rebels.
This is not over yet, as soon as the flying rocks hit the ground, the arrow rain from Long Wujun arrived again!
This wave of counterattack allowed King Zhao's army to finally boost its morale and let it out again.
There is nothing more uncomfortable than equipment generation difference. If there is, it is a bigger equipment generation difference.
Not only were the Longwu Army's arrows denser than those of King Zhao's Army, they were also more capable of breaking armor. In one round, thousands of people were injured.
"This kind of terrible battle really can't be fought!" A team member of King Zhao's army slammed the saber at home on the ground.
"His grandma, these little turtles from the Confederate Army know how to shoot arrows. Do they dare to fight your grandpa with real swords and guns?!"
The captain on the side also looked livid. If we fight in this way, let alone an army of 300,000, even an army of 500,000 may not be able to win.
These lower-level officers could see that the war situation was unfavorable, and of course the generals above could see clearly that these were the powerful generals who followed King Zhao and fought out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the north.
Everyone knows that the frontal confrontation with Long Wu's army was just a feint attack, in order to attract the attention of Long Wu's army and create conditions for Zhang Wenbi and Tan Yuan on the left to break through.
"Damn it! This battle is too frustrating!" A fierce captain immediately asked for orders, "General! Give me three hundred warriors who dare to fight, and I will take my brothers and take advantage of the opportunity for the Longwu Army to reload arrows.
, rush forward! As long as we can break through to their formation, we can fight in!"
No one can stand a battle in which you can only take a beating but cannot fight back!
"Okay! I will give you 800 warriors and 800 pieces of armor!"
"No need! General!" the captain said immediately, "The arrows of the Longwu Army may seem round and blunt, but in fact they are unparalleled in breaking armor, and the armor cannot withstand it. These armors are actually a burden. I took my brothers with large shields,
Move forward lightly!"
I have to say that this captain is a sensible person. After several rounds of arrow rain, he has clearly seen that the Longwu Army's arrows can even break through chain armor and chain mail. Only plate armor can withstand it. Wearing armor in battle can only
Slowing down the speed of your assault is not as good as civilians going into battle, who are still light and agile.
"Okay! Then I'll give you eight hundred shields!"
"Thank you, General!"
Although the general of the forward battalion seemed very pleased, he actually had no confidence in this subordinate.
It's just that this captain's bravery deserves encouragement. Furthermore, even if he fails to break through the enemy's formation, he can still cause all kinds of trouble for the enemy on the front.
As Long Wujun's attention on the front was less, Zhang Wenbi and Tan Yuan were more sure of breaking through Long Wujun's formation with their side attack.
"kill!"
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, this school captain, shirtless and armed with a steel sword and a large shield, charged towards the front line of the Longwu Army!
Behind him, there was also the reflection of a bright steel knife.
There are brave and brave men no matter what camp they belong to.
