At the same time, the two cavalrymen from the right group of the Lulong Army flashed out from the right direction, bypassed the direction of the Xuanwu Cavalry's charge, and went straight behind the opponent. Ren Sui'an's gang leader and corps leader each led two cavalrymen, equally divided.
Run left and right, heading towards the two sides of the Xuanwu Cavalry.
Captain Liu was riding around while shouting: "The right group is falling, the middle group is preparing its crossbows, the left group is moving closer to the right group...Ren Jia Erlang - Ren Jia Erlang! Return to the team!"
The team leader is a veteran from Liucheng. He was originally from the horse carriage of the Waiyo Allied Army. He was later transferred to the left carriage horse camp of the Youzhou Army as a corps commander. He participated in the junior officer training at Bailangshan Military Academy last year and was ordered to form a cavalry army.
Zhao Ba is going to the Zhaozhou Army to take up the post of captain. Captain Liu participated in the Battle of Raoleshan and fought under Zhao Yuanping, so he has rich experience. Amidst his constant shouts, the new recruits in the group suppressed
After getting rid of the panic in his heart, he started the battle with the Xuanwu Army cavalry according to the tactics used in daily training.
The cavalry tactics of the Lulong Army were different from the large-scale cavalry charge of the Hedong Army, and even more different from the formation combat of the Xuanwu Army's cavalry. The cavalry tactics of the Lulong Army were very complex, starting from ten cavalry, to hundreds of cavalry, to thousands of cavalry, and there were different battles.
At the same time, many tactics were developed for assaulting infantry formations, cavalry battles, and small team patrols, and they were practiced one by one during training.
In the encounter at this moment, Captain Liu adopted the tactic of patrolling with a small team. This tactic is the most commonly used tactic of the prairie cavalry. That is, instead of confronting the enemy face to face, they adopt a cruising method and rely on their riding and shooting skills to consume the enemy.
Army. The Zhaozhou Army is a newly established army, and its riding and archery skills are naturally not very good. However, relying on the advanced three-arrow repeating crossbow, it can also fulfill this tactical requirement.
Ren Sui'an's initial panic gradually calmed down amidst Captain Liu's shouts. He did not bother with the arrow stuck in his left shoulder, but reluctantly rushed towards his second rider to meet with him.
After that, he fell to the side of the Xuanwu Army cavalry and waited for Captain Liu's order.
The grassland warfare method chosen by Captain Liu was very effective. After the cavalry dispersed, the Xuanwu Army cavalry did not know how to deal with it for a moment. Should they disperse and chase one by one. Or should they continue to maintain a complete formation and kill only one party?
This is a question that requires time to think about.
While the Xuanwu Cavalry was hesitating, the Lu Long Army cavalry had completed the formal encirclement of the enemy. Several cavalrymen scattered in the middle group ran to the left and right flanks of the Xuanwu Cavalry, took out their hand crossbows, and waited for the crossbows to be fired.
opportunity.
The Xuanwu cavalry also quickly took off their bows and arrows, but fighting on horseback, mounted archery is a very challenging job. The Xuanwu cavalry also just put the arrows on the bow strings without firing. They were also waiting for the opportunity.
Just as the two sides were confronting each other, Captain Liu took out the horns, and a "whimpering" sound was heard, spreading far away in all directions. This was in accordance with the previous tactical agreement, not to fight the enemy head-on, but to summon nearby friendly forces.
.
Of course, the Xuanwu Army Cavalry also understood the intentions of Lu Longcavalry. After a moment of hesitation, they immediately chose to break out of the encirclement on horseback and fled towards the west, regardless of their dead companions.
Faced with the Xuanwu Cavalry that chose to evacuate, Captain Liu did not order a hard stop. Instead, he followed the requirements in daily training and exercises. He called the brothers in the group and divided them into two groups. He and the corps leader each led one group, from the north to the south.
They ran together with the retreating Xuanwu Cavalry in this direction, trapping the Xuanwu Cavalry in the middle.
While running, Captain Liu ordered his brothers to rush to the Xuanwu Cavalry from time to time and shoot crossbows at the opponent. The two groups from the north and the south took turns to fight, and after just running for more than half a mile, they each achieved the result of shooting down a cavalry.
.
After chasing for a long time, Ren Sui'an discovered that there were very few riders in the Xuanwu Cavalry who could turn around and shoot back on the galloping horses. It seemed that only the leading officer could do it. Captain Liu also discovered the opponent's problem, so he ordered the riders to step forward and shoot crossbows.
At that time, the brothers were asked to go around to the rear of the Xuanwu Cavalry to avoid the Xuanwu officer's shooting angle.
Ren Sui'an stepped forward and fired twice. The first time, all three crossbow arrows failed. He had to retreat to his own team and load the crossbow again on the running horse. When it was his turn to step forward and shoot for the second time, he finally wounded one person.
, it can be considered a small achievement, but it is a pity that it was not able to shoot the man off the horse. The back armor of the Xuanwu cavalry in the crossbow was slightly thicker. Although the crossbow arrow penetrated, it can be seen at a glance that it did not penetrate deeply into the flesh.
The sluggish battle of the Lulong Army cavalry greatly slowed down the escape speed of the Xuanwu Cavalry. The annoyed Xuanwu officer ordered to turn back and kill Liu, but it was of no use except wasting more time. Liu took the
The brother evaded and did not fight with his opponent, leaving the Xuanwu Army cavalry with no choice but to continue fleeing westward.
Along the way, Captain Liu blew the horn twice more to indicate the direction of interception to the nearby friendly troops. Soon, Lu Long cavalry appeared in front of the left and right sides and gradually blocked the fleeing Xuanwu Army cavalry.
Come down.
Looking at the Lu Longcavalry galloping around, the officer of the Xuanwu Cavalry was cruel. He commanded the remaining seven men under his command to launch a desperate charge towards the Lu Longcavalry blocking the front. His bravery added value to the chase.
Somewhat tragically, under the fire of dozens of hand crossbows, the Xuanwu cavalry fell powerlessly in the last rays of the setting sun. The Xuanwu officer at the front was covered with no less than ten crossbow arrows and had already died.
He also fell to the ground and gasped feebly like a hedgehog.
Only the Xuanwu cavalry following the team was protected from the crossbow. He waved the lance in his hand and rushed forward, trying to rush into the Lu Longcavalry queue, but was quietly approached by a Lulong Cavalry from the side and rear.
The famous Lulong Cavalry came from Huaiyuan. He was a herdsman who had grown up on the grassland since he was a child. His lasso suddenly shot out, covering the head of the Xuanwu Cavalry with great accuracy, and suddenly pulled the Xuanwu Cavalry from the horse.
Come down.
The Xuanwu cavalryman cursed angrily, but his curses only added more scars and pain to himself. He was dragged backwards by the lasso and dragged on the mud for hundreds of steps, and his curses were replaced by cries of pain.
, and then the dragger dismounted and tied him up easily.
This was the first battle that Ren Sui'an participated in after joining the army. Although the battle was not fierce, it took more than half an hour. Ren Sui'an felt weak in his arms and legs, and his clothes under the armor were soaked with sweat. The Lulong Army won this battle.
It was very easy, and the 10-0 record made the hundreds of brothers in Jiadu cheer in unison. Under the command of the officer, they began to clean the battlefield.
Only two war horses were intact. This was the first capture of Jiadu. Some armors and ordnance were also captured. The captured Xuanwu cavalry were taken aside and personally inspected by the two highest officers in the army, Dutou and Jianjun.
After questioning, not long after, there were bursts of screams coming from over there.
Jiadu was at least five or six miles farther than the original search distance, which was equivalent to a large area protruding forward during the three-way search. Whether to withdraw to the original camping site, or to camp here, it still needs to be
Ask for orders from Commander Zhao in the middle. At the same time, the details of this encounter need to be reported to Commander Zhao immediately. Therefore, the two brothers mounted their horses and galloped toward the southeast.
The two teams were commanding the brothers to send out sentry posts while the rest of the team ate on the spot and waited for the next order.
The bonfire was quickly lit, and large chunks of fresh horse meat were cut off and grilled on the fire. As the only injured person, Ren Sui'an received special attention. Several brothers rushed over to help him take off his armor.
He took off his clothes to check the injury. In addition to the brothers in his group, many brothers from other groups also came over to help. They asked a few questions with concern and were busy handing out hot water and white horse towels. At the same time, they had deep eyes.
The curiosity made Ren Sui'an feel ashamed.
Doctor Wang attached to Jiadu took out a small medical bag, mixed it with hot water that had just been heated to make a paste, and then carefully checked the depth of the arrow into the flesh. He asked Ren Sui'an about the situation of the arrow at that time, and then he
Other questions were raised, including joking and laughing, asking Ren Sui'an what he was thinking when he encountered the enemy, whether he was nervous, whether it hurt after being injured, how he survived such a long period of time, and a series of other questions.
Doctor Wang asked questions quickly, and Ren Sui'an often asked the next question before he could finish answering the previous question, making Ren Sui'an's mind spin rapidly. Just as Ren Sui'an was trying to recall the situation at that time, Doctor Wang
With a sudden move, he turned the arrow shaft forward and pulled it out. The unsuspecting Ren Sui'an immediately screamed in pain.
While Ren Sui'an was screaming, Doctor Wang quickly stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, then took the hot iron spoon handed to him and pressed it on the injured area, making a heart-wrenching sound.
, and at the same time there was a burning smell. Several brothers desperately pressed Ren Sui'an to the ground to stop Ren Sui'an's convulsions. Doctor Wang took the opportunity to apply the ointment mixed into a paste on the wound, and wrapped it with a white linen towel around his shoulder.
After a few strokes, it was tied into a dead knot.
"Okay, let him go. Erlang Ren, this is a small injury. The arrow does not penetrate deeply into the flesh. Otherwise, I would not dare to pull out the arrow for you right here... Don't touch the linen towel in his mouth and let him go again."
Bite for a while... Everyone must also remember that you cannot pull out the arrows by yourself without some kind of medical care... Change the dressing once a day, and soak the linen towels in boiling water... Okay, let's disperse, stay
Two people are feeding Ren Erlang..." Doctor Wang was packing his backpack while instructing the Jiadu brothers who were watching.
Ren Sui'an, who was sweating profusely, gradually felt better. The burning pain in his shoulder seemed to be mixed with a little chill. He thanked Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang smiled softly and shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary. At this time,
Dutou, the soldiers and the officers from the left and right teams all came over and surrounded Ren Sui'an.
Ren Sui'an said sarcastically: "I was careless and received an arrow from a thief..."
Dutou comforted him: "It's normal to be injured on the battlefield, so don't worry about it. I heard Liu Huotou said that at that time, the Xuanwu thieves were hiding under the slope for a sneak attack. You only received one arrow, which is considered smart... After that
It is very courageous to insist on being created and fight... This battle is the first battle in Jiadu. Even though it is a small victory, as a rule in the army, it is necessary to make a distinction. You guys should be remembered for the first meritorious service, and you, Ren Erlang, in addition to
In addition to rewards for military merit, you can also receive five hundred coins for injuries." (To be continued...)
