"Young Marshal, the north gate of Mirror City is open! An army is coming out... It looks like there are about 30,000 troops."
Yun Yi suddenly turned around and reminded Yun Zheng loudly:
"I saw it." Yun Zheng replied calmly and then turned around and said to the ordering soldier: "Send the order, the front army and the center army will go around in a circle and form an eagle formation."
When Yun Yi heard this, he looked happy and asked for orders: "Young Marshal, the last general will lead the central army!"
Yun Zheng smiled slightly: "Okay, you can lead the main force of the Chinese army. When the opponent enters our encirclement, immediately use the force to break the army and lead the main force of the cavalry to roll up through the camp. Be sure to destroy the invading enemy in one fell swoop!"
"Don't worry, young marshal, Yun Yi will not make it easy for them!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! - The drums were beating faster and faster, and the blood of the soldiers on the battlefield also rose with the speed of the drums. Murderous aura spread among the two armies. Jin Jiajue led 30,000 people under his command to come out.
At that moment, I saw the enemy troops in red shirts suddenly dispersed to both sides, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised: Don't they dare to fight with me?
But this idea was immediately overturned by himself. He planned to attack the city with 20,000 people. How could he be so cowardly that he didn't dare to fight with him? Taking a closer look, Jin Jiajue was so angry that the enemy actually displayed an eagle.
He raised his formation as if he was going to surround and annihilate his 30,000-strong army.
Even if Jin Jiajue thought that Yingyang Wei was powerful, he would never think that 20,000 of them could encircle and annihilate 30,000 of him. There were at least three ways to break the Yingyang Formation, but Jin Jiajue directly discarded the first two and chose the third.
: After directly breaking through the opponent's central army and defeating the main force of the enemy's central army in one fell swoop, the encircling formation will naturally be resolved. At that time, the battle will be settled with a U-turn and a single shot of the carbine.
When Jin Jiajue's troops were strong, especially the seven thousand cavalry under his command, Yun Yi, who was on horseback in front of the Yingyang Guards' formation, laughed three times with joy: "This is like giving pillows to people when they want to sleep. I am worried about them."
If the 30,000 people are spread too far apart, the effect of rolling up the camp will not be enough to deter them. I didn't expect them to be so cooperative and immediately concentrate the soldiers on the central army... Hehe, it's really hard for anyone in the world to play hedging with our Yun family army.
As long as the seven thousand cavalry are eliminated, these bandits will no longer have the ability to attack."
----------------------------------------More than a dozen generals at the level of commanders made plans one after another.
The horse came to Jin Jiajue's horse and shouted: "General! Give the order quickly!"
Jin Jiajue carefully observed for a long time, and after repeatedly confirming that the enemy had no ambush except the Yingyang Formation, he suddenly drew out his sword and raised it above his head while shouting at the top of his lungs: "Warriors of the Suyi Army! When you make contributions to the general,
Here we are! Kill...!"
"kill!--"
"kill!--"
"kill!--"
The seven thousand cavalry of the Suyi Army shouted wildly. The horses of this cavalry were bought from the Jurchens when Goryeo was still financially wealthy. Now there are not too many such cavalry in Goryeo. Jin Jiajue then put the sword in his hand to
Seven thousand iron cavalry were swung forward with all their might, and suddenly they began to roll forward like a torrential flood.
Suddenly, the seven thousand cavalry were divided into three groups. Four thousand cavalry were deployed from the front, forming a frontal assault formation of eight hundred cavalry. The remaining three thousand cavalry were divided into two groups, each forming two small groups.
The assault formation circled around the left and right flanks of Yingyangwei's front army and central army.
At this point, you can see the difference in quality between this cavalry and the rest of the rebel army.
The people who participated in the uprising were basically those who had some strength and were tenacious by nature, and dared to resist the tyranny of the imperial court. However, although these people were tough by nature, they could only be regarded as amateur militiamen after all. There was no order in either the marching formation or the assault formation.
Coupled with the lack of high-quality low-level officers to dispatch and command, their changes in formations and directions during marches and assaults were very chaotic, and they were basically a group of stragglers.
Moreover, due to lack of war experience, these ordinary rebels can easily collapse when they suffer a major blow or sudden change.
But these seven thousand cavalry are different. As a regular cavalry team that the Goryeo court focused on cultivating at the time, first of all, both their men and their horses were covered in mail armor. The protective power of the mail armor was much stronger than the leather armor of the average Jurchen cavalry. Secondly,
They are all composed of battle-hardened veterans, and they have a large number of high-quality junior officers. Whether they are marching or assaulting, they are very orderly.
The most important thing is that this cavalry also has a relatively strict organizational structure, as well as a relatively useful command system summed up from previous wars to suppress chaos. On the battlefield, its general's command of the entire cavalry can be said to be
Like an arm, very efficient
The iron hooves rolled, and the grass flew everywhere
The seven thousand cavalry were like two giant langs sweeping in from the front and both wings, and their momentum was actually stronger than the charge of the more than 20,000 troops behind them.
Opposite Jin Jiajue's army, Yun Yi was fully clothed, holding a square halberd in his hand, and riding a tall horse. He stood proudly in the central army formation. The two hundred guards around him seemed to be facing a powerful enemy, and they surrounded him on three levels inside and three outside.
Protected tightly in the middle and further out are the already prepared Yingyang Guards, the absolute main force of the First Guard, with 5,600 officers and soldiers forming a rigorous square formation with Yun Yi as the center.
On the front of the Yingyangwei phalanx are 3,000 soldiers armed with repeating hand crossbows. There are three rows at the front and rear, with 800 people in each line and another 600 people as reserves. There are 1,000 soldiers holding repeating hand crossbows on each side of the left and right wings.
Similarly, there are three hundred people in each of the three columns at the front and back, and several hundred people as reserves.
In front of the Yingyang Guards
The cavalry of the Korean rebel army that rolled over were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the slowly advancing cavalry began to accelerate. Countless swaying horse heads raised high manes behind them, and the faint sound of hoofbeats suddenly gathered into thunder in the sky.
Even the big ones under my feet began to tremble slightly.
"Everything is available, halberd ready!"
The commander of the Ying Yang Guard standing in the front row raised his iron halberd and raised it high above his head, looking up to the sky and roaring at the top of his lungs.
The cold-looking Yingyang Guards officers all raised their halberds and quickly held them in their hands. Thousands of sharp single-sided halberds instantly intertwined into a cold forest of death. Even without the suppression of the archers, even without the sharp bursts of fire.
The veteran guards armed with crossbows and eagles were confident enough to block the assault of the Goryeo cavalry!
"Rong, long, long..."
Amidst the deafening sound of horse hooves, four thousand Korean cavalry swept in from the front and were the first to rush into the range of the repeating hand crossbow.
Standing in front of the formation, the captain of the Yingyang Guard raised his waist knife and suddenly slashed it down, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The first team... shoot!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A dazzling silver light flashed, and the sound of the crossbow strings seemed to be resonating, and it actually resounded through the sky. In front of the Ying Yang Guard Formation, murderous intent surged into the sky.
The first row of Goryeo cavalry, which was sprinting forward at extremely high speeds, suddenly fell on their backs. More than a hundred Goryeo cavalry fell in the first round of shooting from Yingyang Guard.
In the face of flying crossbows, the protective power of mail armor is not much better than the leather armor of Liao and Jurchen cavalry.
However, the quality of the Goryeo cavalry was still higher than that of ordinary rebels. The casualties of more than a hundred cavalry did not have a great impact on the entire cavalry formation. The remaining cavalry in the first row quickly moved closer to the center and re-formed a rigorous assault.
In addition, the gap between the front and rear rows of the Korean cavalry was very large, thirty or forty steps, so the following Korean cavalry had enough reaction time to jump over the fallen corpses of their companions.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Another dense row of crossbow arrows roared towards us. This time, more Goryeo cavalrymen fell. At least 300 cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood.
After two rounds of crossbows, the first row of Koryo cavalry had less than 300 riders left. However, the remaining 300 Koryo cavalry did not collapse. They moved closer to the center again, re-formed a tight cavalry formation, and stared at them one by one.
With blood-red eyes, he galloped on his horse with all his might, a sharp saber already raised high...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The third row of Yingyangwei's crossbows roared towards them. The first row of Korean cavalry fell again, and more than two hundred cavalry fell. Only a dozen cavalry were left who were still charging forward fearlessly because they lost the human shield cover of the first row of cavalry.
, this time the second row of Korean cavalry also suffered a lot of casualties, at least more than a hundred cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
The vitality of the elite cavalry is no more tenacious than that of ordinary rebel soldiers. Even if they are covered with mail, it is useless. The only thing that makes this cavalry stronger than ordinary rebels is their courage. The cavalry of this era are proud, and their pride comes not only from
In terms of their equestrian skills, and more often than not, it comes from the bravery of the cavalry. If those ordinary rebels were charging here, they would have collapsed long ago. But this cavalry did not, they are still charging forward tenaciously.
!
In the distance, the Goryeo rear formation
The muscles on Jin Jiajue's face were twitching. The Chinese army's four thousand cavalry were still at least a hundred steps away from the enemy, but they had already killed nearly a thousand cavalry! The casualties this time were not the rebels who had just put down their hoes and turned into soldiers.
, but the elite of the entire rebel army!
Although nearly a thousand cavalry casualties were incurred, the charge of the Goryeo army continued
After two more rounds of crossbows, more than half of the second row of Korean cavalry had been killed. However, the last remaining Korean cavalry in the first row finally rushed to the front of the Yingyang Guard Formation, and slashed hard with their sabers raised high, killing one of them.
The heads of the Yingyang Guards soldiers were separated in an instant, and the Yingyang Guards in Northern Xinjiang finally suffered casualties.
However, the Koryo cavalry did not cause any disturbance to Ying Yangwei.
The Korean cavalry had a good psychological quality, but the psychological quality of Yingyangwei was only stronger than them. Soon three Yingyangwei soldiers separated from the shooting formation and surrounded the Korean cavalry in a "pin" shape.
, the Goryeo cavalry reined in their horses and spun around, aiming their raised sabers at the neck of an Yingyang Guards soldier and slashing at him again.
The Yingyang Guard soldier dodged quickly. At the same time, the other two Yingyang Guard soldiers took the opportunity to thrust forward with their halberds. At the same time, they hit the cavalry on horseback. The locks on the Goryeo cavalry were
Zijia can protect against knife cuts, but it is difficult to protect against the thrust of the front edge of a single-sided halberd. With the crisp sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh and bone, the abdomen and waist of the Goryeo cavalry were pierced at the same time.
"Ouch..."
The Goryeo cavalryman screamed miserably, and then fell straight down from his horse. Three Yingyang Guard soldiers quickly surrounded him, and their sharp unilateral halberds stabbed him continuously, stabbing one after another in his chest.
Bloody holes, they didn't stop until this Goryeo cavalry was completely dead.
In front of the two armies, the fierce battle continues
When more than half of the Koryo's third row of cavalry suffered casualties, the following cavalry was finally seriously disturbed. The corpses of men and horses lying on the ground had formed a continuous obstacle. The last two rows of cavalry could no longer continue their sprint. Although Yingying
Yang Wei was already close at hand, but the Korean cavalry had to slow down their sprint to avoid being tripped by the corpses of their companions.
At this moment, a large number of black dots suddenly flew up from the Ying Yang Guard Formation and hit the heads of the fourth row of Korean cavalry.
