Chapter 556 Yelu Dehai, Commander of the Pishi Army
Following the issuance of Xia Jie's order, the blood gun guards immediately extended their hooks and sickles under the cover of their shields. Dozens of Pishi soldiers fell off their horses without any precautions.
Due to the scarcity of resources in the grassland, even elite troops such as the Pishi Army are unable to wear armor protection on their war horses.
Of course, even if the grassland resources are rich enough, it will be difficult for the Pishi Army to equip them, because even heavy armored cavalry cannot even protect the horses' legs.
Just like the original Tiefutu, this was a heavy armored cavalry. When dealing with the Song army, which was mainly infantry, it was simply a battlefield meat grinder.
But even so, this army was still unable to protect the horse's legs. In the end, Yue Fei seized on this flaw and eliminated it in one fell swoop.
However, if you only look at the results, you will often overlook the difficulty involved. After all, when a war horse charges, with the reaction speed of an infantryman, it is definitely very difficult to hit the horse's leg.
Just like the current situation, if the Wushuang death camp in front had not paid the price with their lives, causing the speed of the Pishi Army's attack to slow down, the losses of the Blood Spear Chiyun Army would have been even greater.
However, it was precisely because of the Wushuang Death Battalion's fearlessness that they gave other soldiers a chance to defeat the enemy.
In this way, under the calm command of Xia Yu, the leader of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army.
Song Yi, the leader of the Wushuang Death Battalion, Duan Yan, the leader of the Broken Camp, and Xia Jie, the leader of the Blood Spear Guards, cooperated with each other to bring out 200% of the elite strength of the three infantry units.
The Pishi Army, an elite cavalry force, instantly became miserable.
It can be said that the two sides have not yet come into close combat, but the Pishi Army has already lost a lot of people, but even so, using infantry against cavalry still gives people a tragic feeling.
…………
"The Blood Spear Red Cloud Army has heard of its name for a long time, but I didn't expect that we would meet on the Hetao battlefield today." Yelu Dehai snorted coldly, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
After all, the shadow of the famous tree and the prestige of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army were all shot out more than ten years ago. If their commander is still the same person who slaughtered Duan Xi this time, then they will
Basically, there is no possibility of victory.
Fortunately, the current leader of this powerful army is the Han general Xia Yu. Although this person is also known as a famous general, he is still much different from the deceased Duan Xi.
"Brothers, follow me."
Yelu Dehai gave a cold shout, and after pinpointing the location of the center of the enemy formation, he immediately led his cavalry to charge away. Behind him was Yelu Qishang, who had the strength to become the God of War for the first time.
Both sides are fighting against elite troops.
However, the three elite troops of the Han army, under the command of Han general Xia Yu, achieved a perfect degree of coordination.
Because of this, even if they fought with infantry and cavalry, they still did not lose. On the contrary, in the process of fighting, the Pishi Army under Yelu Abaoji became the side that suffered relatively many losses.
However, the Pishi Army is cavalry after all and has an inherent advantage over infantry.
In terms of numbers, there is basically no big difference. The cooperation of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army under the command of Xia Yu, no matter how good it is, a temporary advantage cannot become a lifelong advantage.
If the fight continues for a long time, the Blood Spear Chiyun Army will definitely be overwhelmed by the Pishi Army, so that the one who will take advantage in the end will definitely be the elite cavalry Pishi Army.
However, Yelu Dehai had no such plan. The current battlefield situation was already in a stalemate, and he was urgently needed to reopen the situation and bring upward morale to the grassland coalition forces.
Therefore, even if both sides fail to achieve results, they have no intention of retreating because this is a battle involving honor.
The Pishi Army represents the dignity of Yelu Abaoji, and the Blood Spear Chiyun Army does not represent the dignity of Duan Xi.
Although the three elites, including the Broken Camp, the Unparalleled Death Battalion, and the Blood Spear Guards, are infantry troops, many of them followed Duan Xi in the war against the Qiang people. The military's sense of honor is very strong.
If the Pishi Army, an elite cavalry unit like this, were allowed to cross the Blood Spear Chiyun Army and rush into the battlefield of the front army, it would be impossible for the ordinary infantry in the Bingzhou Army to block the Pishi Army's charge.
By then, the defeat of the front army will become a foregone conclusion, and may even affect the entire battlefield.
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of the overall situation of this battle, Xia Yu, who is the commander of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army, will never retreat, and Song Yi, who is the commander of the three major infantry battalions, naturally has no possibility of retreat.
.
More than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Pishi Army, accompanied by Yelu Dehai, the leader of the Pishi Army, launched a fierce charge towards the three elites under the command of Yelu Dehai.
"Han Army, suffer death." I heard Yelu Dehai shout loudly, and kept waving the serrated Feilian machete in his hand. Every time he waved the weapon in his hand, he would always bring up a smear of blood.
In terms of personnel quality, there is not much difference between Duan Xi's carefully trained Blood Spear Chiyun Army and the Pishi Army.
After all, as the two armies are elite battalions of our own army, they naturally spend a lot of resources to train them, and this leads to the fact that even if there is a gap between them, the gap is not to an outrageous level.
If the advantage of the Blood Spear Chiyun Army lies in their tight cooperation, then the advantage of the Pishi Army lies in the charge of the cavalry.
At this time, Yelu Dehai led his men Diguli, Shalichitu, Nianmohu, Corvet and other fierce generals, and led a group of 800 leather-chamber cavalry, like an arrow, pierced into the formation of the trapped camp.
middle.
Among the three battalions of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army, Duan Xuan's broken camp was the outermost unit, so he naturally received a lot of attention from Yelu Dehai.
Duan Xuan's eyes tightened at this time. An expert would know if he was there as soon as he made a move. He considered himself to be good in strength, but it was only good. In front of a real master, his strength was vulnerable.
The Yelu Dehai in front of him was definitely a master among masters, because the aura he revealed gave him the feeling that he was no weaker than Xia Yu, the leader of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army, and might even be stronger.
However, Duan Yan was also a calm person, and he immediately used his specialty, which was to command the soldiers in battle.
Staying calm in the face of danger is the most important quality of a general.
In these days, Duan Xuan fought many fierce battles with his brother Duan Xi, and naturally developed his own composure.
At this time, when he saw the enemy general Yelu Dehai leading his cavalry to kill him, instead of showing any worry, he was secretly happy.
