The Broadsword Team is a heavy sword unit. This unit was specially thought up by Lin Heng in order to increase the lethality of the infantry. In the Broadsword Team, he abandoned the armor and switched to leather armor to reduce the weight of the sergeants. At the same time, he
This increases the weight of the weapon in the soldier's hand, that is, the broadsword. The handle of this broadsword can be held by both hands, and the blade is thick and weighs more than thirty-three kilograms. If the sword is struck, even if it does not die, it will still be seriously injured.
There are not many members in the Broadsword Team, only more than 3,500 people, but each one is a carefully selected person with great strength. Whether they are defending the city or attacking, they have huge lethality.
Guo Jing carefully handed over his messengers and asked him to go down and give orders to the swordsmen, cavalry, archers, sword and shield soldiers to stand in front and prepare to face the Mongols.
On the Mongolian side, it was as Lin Heng thought. After they lost some more cavalry, they immediately realized that the Song army had dug a trap here, so the cavalry stopped and the infantry behind them began to move forward.
Soon, as the infantry advanced slowly, the other two hooks arranged by Lin Heng were destroyed. These two hooks were set up by Lin Heng just in case. They were the same as the second one, but they did not work.
It just works.
When the two infantry armies confronted each other, the archers took the lead in showing off their power, shooting dense rain of arrows at the opponent's array. In this regard, the Mongols had some advantages due to their large numbers and strength, but they themselves also suffered heavy losses.
Because for this bow and arrow battle, Lin Heng specially selected many martial arts people to join the army as archers.
Everyone knows that martial arts people are definitely stronger than ordinary people. Even soldiers are incomparable. The Mongols do have many advantages among soldiers, but when facing martial arts people, they have no advantage, especially between the two armies.
Martial arts practitioners shooting arrows at each other during a duel.
"Charge!" The Mongolian general saw that he did not have much advantage in archery, so he immediately waved his whip and shouted.
The densely packed infantry began to advance slowly under his command, and the same was true for the Song army. When the two armies were about to encounter each other, the cavalry hidden in the two armies began to attack.
Combining infantry with cavalry is a very simple strategy, but you have to say that cavalry has an advantage over infantry. If they really charge, the queue will be absolutely chaotic. Therefore, even if it is an infantry battle, it must be
There are cavalry to cooperate. The Song Army also has cavalry, and they are not weak. However, in such a big battle, the Song Army's cavalry of only about two thousand people cannot play much role at all, and if they are allowed to attack the enemy's ranks, they will definitely be useless.
Well, because there are too many enemies, it’s impossible for you to come out again if you rush in.
Therefore, their task is to collide with the enemy's cavalry and prevent them from charging into battle.
The cavalry of the two parties entangled and began to strangle each other, as did the infantry. In front, the sword and shield soldiers held their shields and waved their swords and collided with each other. When the armies merged, the sword team prepared by Lin Heng began to show off their power. They
They gathered together, rushed into Mongolia, and killed them with a sword.
The power of the Broadsword Team is really amazing. With one swing of the sword, even the soldiers holding shields were beaten back, unable to hold the shield in their hands, and then killed. The Broadsword Team also took advantage of this to break into the Mongolian army and kill them.
Quartet.
After the two sides are strangled together, command is useless. At this time, it depends on the strength and morale of both sides. The morale of the Song Army is not high, but it is not low, especially after they have just defeated the Mongolian army.
, and their morale was even higher. Therefore, facing the Mongolian army, they fought equally. However, as time passed, the defeat of the Song army was revealed.
Compared with the Mongolian army, the Song army still had too few people. For this battle, the Song army sent more than 15,000 people, while the Mongolians had more than 20,000 people. Although they could not run up at the same time, they
After one person died, they immediately added another person. This increased the pressure on the Song Army. At first, the pressure was not obvious, but when you kill again and again and find that you can't finish the kill again and again, you will naturally feel in your heart.
The intention to retreat.
Later, Lin Heng kept paying attention to the morale of the army. Seeing that the Song army was about to retreat, he immediately signaled to Guo Jing. Guo Jing nodded, raised the formation flag again, summoned the messengers, and ordered the second captain's spearmen to cooperate with the heavy spearmen to attack.
The 10,000-strong Song Army once again walked out of the army column and came behind the Song Army. At the same time, the order to retreat was sounded, and the fighting Song Army soldiers immediately began to retreat.
Seeing this, the Mongols immediately pounced on them, but when they pounced in front of the pikemen and heavy pikemen, they were neatly blocked.
Needless to say, everyone knows about the pikemen. Here I want to talk about the heavy pikemen. This is also Lin Heng's invention. The so-called heavy pikemen are actually the soldiers holding big guns in front of them. The difference from the previous team is that this
This time they actually had spears installed in the trees they held high.
The first pair of heavy spearmen is to stop the horses. It doesn't matter whether they have iron guns or not, but the second team is different. They are to stop the infantry. If you don't have iron guns, you can't kill people at all. Then a family can hold a tree.
If you don't want to kill them, Lin Heng had people hollow out the center of the trees and install iron guns inside to increase the lethality.
The dense trees and iron spears blocked the Mongolian army. They wanted to go through a gap, but immediately rows of bright silver spears pierced out from there, blocking them back again.
Seeing this, the Mongolian general immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows, but he had already thought of Lin Heng, so before he could shoot arrows, a large amount of arrows rained down from the Song army, and then groups of sword and shield soldiers
Holding a big shield, he stood in front of him.
"Damn it!" After several rounds of arrows were fired, the Mongolian general saw that he had no advantage and had to order the troops to retreat.
The two sides fought twice. Although the Song army was in a weak position, the Mongols were the ones who suffered. In the first battle, they killed and injured about 3,500 people. In the second battle, they killed many Song troops, but they also lost 4,000.
Many people. With such a huge loss, even if they advanced a certain distance, it would still be a failure. It is conceivable that when the Mongolian general under this command returns to the camp, he will definitely be cursed by Brother Meng.
Originally, he was unwilling to retreat, and wanted to retreat from the infantry and attack with his iron cavalry, but the Song army immediately retreated a hundred steps, and then the attacking Mongolian army fell into the trap again.
In this regard, he was very helpless and cursed the Song army general opposite him as despicable and shameless, but what was the use of it?
After the two battles, it was almost noon. As soon as the Allied forces retreated, they retreated into the camp. However, many soldiers were left on the road they occupied to prevent the Song army from coming back again.
Seeing this, Lin Heng and others gave up the idea of attacking again, and instead quickly asked everyone to rest and eat.
In the afternoon, the Mongols did not attack again. Instead, they sent a large number of Mongolian teams into the woods and mountain roads on both sides. Lin Heng knew that the Mongols were frightened by his tricks and wanted to see if there were still enemies ahead.
There is a hook.
At this, he smiled and secretly cursed the Mongols for being stupid, and then continued to discuss the next war with Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Hong Qigong and others.
In one day, seven or eight thousand Mongolian combat power was consumed, and the loss was almost the same. This is definitely rare. According to Lin Heng's previous method, they need to withstand here for three days to consume the Mongolian military power, and then return.
Withdraw five miles, use the traps behind to continue killing and hindering the Mongolian army, and bring back injured soldiers and some veterans, while also bringing in some new soldiers from the rear to supplement the combat strength.
Today is the first day, and judging from the results of this day, Lin Heng's method is effective, but just in case, they still have to sum up their experience and lessons and strive to do their best.
This night, both armies spent sleepless. The camps of both sides were constantly patrolled and guarded incredibly tightly. The Song army was afraid of the Mongolian cavalry entering the camp. The Mongolian army did this because they were obviously frightened by Lin Heng's trap.
.
Early on the next morning, loud singing came from the Mongolian military camp opposite. Lin Heng, Guo Jing and others stood on a high platform and looked at the Mongolian camp from a distance. There, they were lining up their troops.
Group after group of Mongolian soldiers slowly walked out of the camp. Lin Heng saw that at the front was a group of sword and shield soldiers. They held shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, walking forward firmly. Behind them
, is a group of spearmen, and then archers. On both sides of the army are two long teams of iron cavalry.
The densely packed formations were lined up like an overwhelming wave, and the fierce murderous aura rushed towards them in silence.
"The Mongols are going to be tough!" Lin Heng sighed softly and shook his head.
When the two armies fight, they usually start by testing each other, so not too many people are sent. Lin Heng used their form to set up traps and defeated the Mongols twice. But everyone is not stupid, especially those who have been fighting all year round.
The Mongols were not idiots. After their rudeness on the first day, they knew that the Song army could not be defeated by charging with cavalry and a small number of infantry. So on this day, they directly sent a large number of infantry, preparing to attack directly.
Charge the center of the Song Army, and the iron cavalry on both sides are used to attack the two wings of the Song Army.
"Brother Guo, are we ready?" Lin Heng turned his head and asked Guo Jing.
Guo Jing nodded and said: "Brother Lin, don't worry, I have already done it according to your method. Wouldn't it be too cruel to do this?" Guo Jing looked a little unbearable, but Lin Heng just smiled and didn't
Answer Guo Jing's question.
Lin Heng doesn't like the battlefield, but now that he's here, he must use his full strength. Here, only victory or defeat is needed, no conscience is needed.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng and Guo Jing got off the high platform, stood at the front of the army, and began to make arrangements. Compared with the Mongolian army, the Song army had an additional type of chariot soldiers, but these chariot soldiers were not mounted on carriages.
It is a unit that operates trebuchets.
The trebuchet is an ancient cannon. It is a very sharp weapon whether it is attacking or defending a city. Many trebuchets are installed in cities such as Xiangyang. The Mongolian army also has this kind of weapon, but this time,
They're just useless.
"You don't have to be lucky, this time, I will show you what a mountain of swords and a sea of fire are?" With a sneer, Lin Heng waved his hand, and the army moved slowly, and crashed into the Mongolian army rushing in front.
