(The red ticket exceeded 6,000 yesterday, and a 6,000-word chapter was given, one chapter is worth two chapters)
The enemy's armored cavalry rushed towards them, but their bows and crossbows were unable to kill them. Teams from both capitals crossed over to intercept them. Both men and horses were armored, and they were the strongest foreign horses. Together with the man, horse and armor, they weighed almost six to seven hundred kilograms, as if they were moving one by one.
The hill came across, and although the flying contradiction carts had a certain blocking effect, the enemy cavalry charged at them with all their strength. The eight flying contradiction carts were overturned and crushed, and the sixteen soldiers responsible for pushing the carts clashed.
The huge force caused them to vomit blood, and they were dodging. Only some people were able to take off the swords and shields on the car to fight. However, the enemy's armor and cavalry continued to charge unabated. People and horses rammed into them, and people were thrown away after the impact.
The lethality of knives and spears against armored soldiers and cavalry was also greatly reduced. Although Mo Daoshou bravely charged forward with strong armor, no matter how powerful the manpower was, it could not compare to the rampage of men and horses working together. The array was scattered, and the rear wore light armor.
The swordsmen, shieldmen, and spearmen all fell down one after another when the enemy cavalry swung their swords.
The intercepting Liangdu troops were completely routed and dispersed, suffering heavy casualties and only able to dismount a dozen soldiers and cavalrymen.
Cao Ziang, who was standing on the platform of the Chinese army's main formation to observe and control the entire battle situation, saw that the charge of the captive soldiers and cavalry was so fierce that it was difficult to resist. He wanted to let Timur go, as there would be a chance to fight again, but he could not take the chance of being defeated by his own formation.
To avoid the risk, he ordered people to beat the gong, causing the troops in the front line to disperse.
The armored cavalry galloped over and joined Timur's light cavalry. Since the light cavalry were spread far apart, they almost fell into a melee in their own formations. Fortunately, the armored cavalry came to the rescue and dispersed the pressure on the rear, and breathed a sigh of relief.
, but if armored cavalry and light cavalry are mixed together, they will lose their impact.
Timur became murderous and refused to retreat. Seeing that there was no pressure from behind and the enemy formation in front was much weaker, he asked the armored cavalry to attack the Jiangdong soldiers' array with him and kill the Jiangdong soldiers. Then they would be able to defeat them.
Gain the initiative on the battlefield.
Cao Ziang could see clearly in this formation. After the enemy's armored cavalry lost the most threatening impact, he ordered people to beat the drums again. The dispersed armored soldiers suddenly gathered again when they heard the sound of the drums. There were not enough flying chariots, so he used heavy shields.
He carried the enemy cavalry and leaned down to attack, attacking with spears and spears, slashing with Mo Dao, and sweeping with long-thorned bamboo spears, trying to entangle the enemy cavalry. The scattered cavalry quickly regrouped on the two wings, preparing to rejoin the battle.
This is one of the advantages of downsizing the organization to five pawns.
On a chaotic battlefield, it is much more difficult to reunite fifteen people who have been scattered, no matter how well-trained they are, than to reunite five people. Even if the formation is torn apart by the enemy cavalry, with five soldiers
As a group, it is not easy to form a crushing collapse. If the flag leader of the fifteen soldiers is seriously injured or killed in battle, it will be even more impossible for the fifteen soldiers who were separated to regroup during the war, and it may even cause damage to themselves.
The square formation is a very destructive rout. A group of five soldiers is used as a group. If Mo Daoshou is seriously injured or killed in battle, the other four soldiers can also be organized into other combat groups of the squad under the command of the flag leader.
Similarly, a five-soldier formation requires three to four times as many experienced combat backbones as a fifteen-soldier formation. It is natural that the cohesion, combat effectiveness and resistance will be stronger. This is also what General Lin Fu does in his military training.
Extremely detailed expression.
Lin Fu also decisively gave up traditional array drills in daily training. With an array of about 3,000 soldiers, he did not have three to five months to practice it neatly. It was very difficult to practice it beautifully, but the actual combat effectiveness was quite poor.
With the capital team's 60 soldiers as a unit, the difficulty of formation training is greatly reduced, and there are no more complicated formation movements. The key is to take more time to practice group coordination of conflict, attack and defense, gathering and dispersing and other tactical actions.
This kind of training and formation formation are the tactics used by cavalry in the early stage.
The Donglu cavalry is still used to pulling back and forth to loosen the infantry formation, and then concentrate their superiority to clash and cut the infantry formation, eventually forming a crushing rout. Finally, the cavalry are released to harvest the defeated troops who have no resistance. The traditional infantry
The soldiers are almost organized into battalions. They have a set of tactics when fighting against cavalry guerrillas and conflicts. However, once the formation is loose, the combat effectiveness will weaken rapidly. Therefore, as long as the soldiers are patient enough, they can calmly find opportunities.
for their fighter jets.
However, Timur found that the Jiangdong soldiers in front of him were very difficult to fight. The formation of the infantry formation was quite flexible. He led his light cavalry to roam around the periphery. When all sixty soldiers of the Jiangdong soldiers formed a formation, they dared to rush out to fight. The range of the entire array could be compared to
The traditional infantry formation against cavalry is four to five times larger, and there is no fear of cavalry cutting into it.
However, for these formations, the general and battalion commanders will put forward higher requirements for the difficulty of command and control of the capital troops during wartime. After all, instead of gongs and drums, flags can simply command the capital troops of thirty or forty units. In view of this
At the same time, Lin Fu set up a sentry team between the battalion and the capital team, and set up chief and deputy sentry generals to further improve the command system and strengthen the structural strength of the infantry formation.
Cao Ziang used his general as the center of control, always paying attention to the beacon signals coming from Wuokou Village. Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen each led an elite force to cover up the attack from both wings. However, the enemy armor riding over still put great pressure on this side.
Timur saw that Jiangdong's soldiers had regrouped faster than he imagined, and he did not dare to entangle with Jiangdong's left army. He could only take advantage of the pressure relief and led his cavalry to rush toward Wangdentai Mountain, killing three or four people back and forth.
He turned back and got rid of the entanglement. But when he looked back, he saw that there were still three to five hundred cavalry at the rear being entangled by the armored soldiers of the two capitals who suddenly appeared from the two wings in the shape of awls. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the team back to charge.
The formation of Jiangdong Zuojun's armor and soldiers advanced in battle as if they were peeled off from the two wings to cover up the front formation, and then peeled off and filled from the back to the two wings. The main formation of the Chinese army controlled the rhythm and advanced slowly, using gongs and drums, flags and messengers in various ways.
This method accurately conveys tactical orders directly to the capital team.
With Wang Dengtai Mountain in sight, Timur could clearly hear the sounds of fighting coming from the other two directions. His body was covered in sweat, perhaps because of the scars left by the whiplash.
After Ye Jinayan was annihilated in Cangnan, Timur followed Nahe Xiongqi and led his troops out of Dezhou on December 29. They counterattacked to Cangnan on the second day of the first lunar month. On the fourth day of the lunar month, they were deceived and pursued the enemy southward.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, more than a thousand cavalry were wiped out. On the seventh day of the lunar month, they returned to Cangnan and pursued them to Jinhai. It was the ninth day of the first lunar month. Timur did not have the opportunity to confront the Jiangdong left army head-on until the ninth day of the first lunar month. At that time, he was whipped.
He has not recovered yet. After all, he showed mercy during the execution and did not hurt his bones. He asked for a fight. Perhaps Nahe Xiongqi went out to fight. Until today is the eighth day. Although there were big battles, there were five small-scale contact battles, which made him profound.
I felt that the traditional Donghu cavalry with light armor, riding bows and short knives completely suppressed the Jiangdong Left Army, which was becoming more and more motivated and determined to fight. It was completely unable to take advantage of its superb riding skills and proficient bows and arrows...
Timur was worried about how to get rid of the entanglement and break away from the Jiangdong left army. Nahe Xiongqi personally led a cavalry to rush in from the left wing, braving the rain of arrows, and scattered a group of Jiangdong soldiers on the left wing. Timur was very happy.
Thinking that Nahe Xiongqi had defeated another group of Jiangdong soldiers and came back to support him, he urged the left and right to rush from the right wing, trying to overwhelm this group of Jiangdong soldiers from both wings with superior force.
However, the guards around He Xiongqi galloped up and shouted: "Retreat to climb Wangtai Mountain..." Before he could shout a second time, four or five crossbow arrows flew from nowhere and shot him off his horse. Jiangdong Zuo
Relying on its superior strength, the army always kept a team of crossbow archers in the main formation of the central army. They would shoot crossbow arrows when the gong sounded and the soldiers in the front line suddenly dispersed. Timur forced Yezier Khan to read the Han people's
In fact, he found a beautiful and literate woman to read the military book to him. He vaguely remembered that there was such a combat formation, but it was not as powerful as it was in front of him.
Timur reined up his horse and charged back. With the support of Nahe Xiongqi, he didn't have to worry about his tail being bitten again. He galloped to the north foot of Wangdengtai Mountain, and Nahe Xiongqi also came with his horse dripping with sweat. From a long distance away,
Then He Xiongqi shouted urgently: "The southern wing is only temporarily free from the entanglement. The fighting strength of the remaining troops in Jinzhong is somewhat unexpected. It is far stronger than what was previously scouted. Lin Fu is afraid that he will have two thousand more troops."
Come, this battle cannot be fought forcefully. I can only send more than a hundred dead soldiers in the northeast to desperately delay..."
"Japanese mother, the outposts on the northern front are still sucking her mother's milk!" Tamerlane scolded angrily, "Two thousand more soldiers will make this war a waste!"
"We cannot blame the poor reconnaissance on the northern front," Na He Xiongqi said. "We did not estimate the Jiangdong Left Army's ability to supply the remnants of the Jinzhong Army. The two battalions of generals who came out of Wokou Village were all well-armed and equipped with infantry and bows.
The formation of salvo coverage should be the reinforcement of supplies for Jiangdong Zuojun after they arrived at Jinhai. King Khan said that factional fighting in the Southern Dynasties was fierce, which was normal, but we must also consider that there are some special cases, and this Lin Fu is special
Example, so we suffered some hardships. Now the distance between the three Jiangdong soldiers is less than four miles. At most, we will be given half a stick of incense time. Breaking through to the northwest can meet up with the Grand Prince, but in the northwest, Jiangdong's left army
There is likely to be an ambush. You lead your troops to break out to the southwest while protecting the injured..."
"You lead your troops and leave first, I will come to the rear." Timur said loudly.
"You dare to disobey my order? Believe it or not, I will chop off your head right now?" Na He Xiongqi said angrily, "Don't let hatred go to your head. You have to remember that after you rush out, you will go back to the west of Qingxian County.
Continue to delay the Jiangdong Left Army and prevent it from rushing into Taihang Shandong. At least keep an eye on it until the Grand Prince receives reinforcements from the Confucius Society. If anything happens, no matter who survives, they must follow the Jiangdong Left Army's tactics.
Yejier Khan and the Grand Prince stated in detail. The left army in Jiangdong only had 3,000 soldiers, but it was so sharp. If it had 30,000 soldiers, this battle would be unwinnable. Next time if they break through the border and invade the invaders, they don’t have to guard against others. Jiangdong soldiers will definitely
Be on guard!"
"You damn thing, come back alive! Otherwise, I will suffer the iron whip of King Khan!" Timur roared.
"I'm so sad. If Jiangdong soldiers want to keep me, they must have this ability..." Nahe Xiongqi pretended to whip Timur with a whip and urge him to leave quickly.
Na He Xiongqi regretted that he was too hesitant. When he saw that Jiangdong's left army had the intention of fighting in Wuokou Village, he should have decisively abandoned the baggage and ordered all the troops to break out alone instead of retreating to Wangdentai Mountain.
.Now it seems that Lin Fu seized on this weakness in his thinking. The Jiangdong Left Army and the remnants of the Jinzhong Army seemed to be divided into three groups, but in fact they came to Wangdentai Mountain in a fully planned way.
, and their retreat to Wangdengtai Mountain was just a cocoon to trap themselves, giving the Jiangdong left army a situation of encirclement and battle.
The Jiangdong Left Army is at its peak and its troops are superior to this side. Nahe Xiongqi will naturally not fight with the Jiangdong Left Army in this situation. Moreover, if the cavalry is forced to the inner circle, the battle will be unusually passive; in this case,
A hasty battle is the stupidest choice. However, the camp is crude and Lin Fu has a precedent of using fire in Xiaobotou Village. He Xiongqi did not dare to evacuate the entire army into the camp and insist on waiting for reinforcements, so he had to break out. Jiangdong has not yet
Forming a complete encirclement, the cavalry has a natural advantage in breaking through. If the baggage and food are lost, the worst that can happen is that if you go hungry for a day or two, you will have to go to the eldest prince to ask for it. If you have thought this way for a long time, then it is useless for He Xiongqi to take regret medicine now.
I can only lead my troops back and charge again, and rescue as many rear cavalry as possible.
After Lin Fu's victory here, he gathered the remnants of the Jinzhong army and further formed a superior force, which was bound to penetrate westward; its threat to the north and south fronts was greater than at any time, and Na He Xiongqi wanted to do everything possible to
It is possible to gather the troops and go to the west of Qingxian County to intercept the Jiangdong soldiers.
Yang Yihang and Ma Yi led their troops to attack, about four miles away from Wangdentai Mountain, and were entangled by a group of captive cavalry. This group of captive cavalry only had more than a hundred people, and they attacked the Jinzhong soldiers' marching array regardless of casualties, braving the rain of arrows.
After tearing back and forth twice, although they killed thirty or forty cavalry, they still managed to break into the formation, causing chaos in the marching formation.
The cavalry's swords are short, and they need to lean less when slashing. While slashing, they also give the soldiers here a chance to kill. However, this time the dozens of cavalry who rushed into the formation completely gave up the chance to slash, and just
Peeping into the gap or where the rebels gathered, they rushed with all their strength. Maybe they were stabbed by spears and couldn't get away, and then they struck out with the first sword. These more than a hundred cavalry were completely dead soldiers who came to block the march here.
In addition to the cavalry on both wings and the infantry of the Jidu team dispersed in time, the charging array in the center was completely disrupted and entangled for a stick of incense. There were more than thirty cavalry in the middle who rushed left and right and were not killed. However,
These thirty or so cavalrymen also began to consider breaking out of the encirclement.
Naturally, the Jinzhong soldiers formed a small group of fifteen soldiers and a capital group of sixty soldiers. Yang Yihang, Ma Yigong, and Wei Zhonglong respectively controlled six to eight capital groups to pursue in a cone-shaped assault array. They also contacted Jiangdong on both wings at any time.
The left army's formation was scattered by the enemy's cavalry, and its ability to regroup was far worse than that of the Jiangdong left army.
Yang Yihang, Ma Yigong, and Wei Zhonglong were all experienced military attachés. They kept spreading the formation, leaving enough space for the inner circle of generals to encircle and kill the enemy's cavalry, completely surrounding more than thirty cavalry.
Yang Yihang and Ma Yigong each led their unbroken formations to continue their attack on Wangdengtai Mountain, leaving Wei Zhonglong to stay and surround and kill the enemy cavalry. They collected the scattered troops and then rushed forward. Almost half of the troops were delayed.
Yang Yihang and others led their troops to attack, and they also sent people to contact the Jiangdong Left Army on both sides at any time. They knew that the two Jiangdong Left Army were delayed by more than 900 people at most, and the more than 1,500 captives and cavalry were quite relaxed and powerful enough to kill the enemy.
They all felt deeply ashamed. They claimed to be old soldiers in Jinzhong, but more than a hundred captive cavalry held back nearly half of their troops. If three to five hundred captive cavalry came to attack them, they would probably have to fight on the spot.
It's a tough battle, and it can't reach the level of Jiangdong Left Army's one pawn against one light cavalry. The poorer armor than Jiangdong's Left Army is a factor, but it is not the decisive factor. When Jinzhong's soldiers and armor were complete, Jiangdong's Left Army must have
With such a high level of fighting, it is completely impossible for them to fall into the situation of being completely surrounded and annihilated.
Yang Yihang and Ma Yi led their troops to the foot of Wangdengtai Mountain. Ao Canghai and Zhao Qingshan were leading their troops to fight with Nahe Xiongqi's rear cavalry. Nahe Xiongqi personally led not many cavalry, only more than 500, but the tactics
They were more flexible, and even in the rain of arrows, they were not given a chance to encircle them. Yang Yihang and Ma Yi's troops rushed in, and Na He Xiongqi passed through the gap between Ao Canghai and Zhao Qingshan's troops and directly attacked them in a hurry.
The troops of Yang Yihang and Ma Yigong who arrived left dozens of corpses behind. They also passed through the formations of the troops of Yang Yihang and Ma Yigong who had collapsed, made a roundabout route, and fled to the northwest with their horses.
After fighting for most of the day, it was only in the afternoon. At this time, a stick of wolf smoke was lit in the direction of Wukou Village and went straight into the clouds. I don't know what Jiangdong Zuojun added to the smoke. The smoke actually showed pink among the black and gray.
Nahe Xiongqi looked back and saw him fighting at the foot of Wangdentai Mountain. The mixed infantry and cavalry seemed to have received the order from the wolf smoke. The mixed infantry and cavalry quickly separated into lines, and the cavalry gathered at the foot of the east side of Wangdentai Mountain. There were actually six or seven
With the size of the Hundred Cavalry, Na He Xiongqi instantly understood that the wolf smoke was pointing out Timur's breakout direction and instructing them to pursue here.
Timur broke out with injuries. If he was entangled by the enemy's cavalry, his injuries would inevitably be saved, and Timur was not someone who could abandon his injuries and escape first. In order to avoid a hard fight between Timur and the Jiangdong Zuojun
, Na He Xiongqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back to fight, entangling the two forces and giving Timur more time to break out.
The infantry of the Jinzhong Army are no better than the armored soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, but the cavalry, a more technical unit, is stronger than the cavalry of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. Yang Yihang and Ma Yi lead the attacking infantry and cavalry, and the cavalry
There were more than 300 people, and the horses were naturally the steeds given to them by Lin Fu. When they first came, Na He Xiongqi was caught off guard, and they were very angry. Seeing Na He Xiongqi's comeback, they didn't wait for Ao Canghai.
According to the order, each led his cavalry to insert from the two wings of the Xiongqi tribe of Nahe. Ao Canghai watched the time and ordered the armor soldiers to line up with eight flying contradiction vehicles in front, covering the armor soldiers from between the two wings of Yang Yihang and Ma Yigong to Nahe.
Xiong Qi charged head-on.
Nahe Xiongqi's tribe was immediately killed and dispersed. Nahe Xiongqi, surrounded by dozens of cavalry, rushed out and went to the periphery to collect the scattered soldiers. Only to find that this time, more than a hundred people were knocked off their horses due to an oversight. Nahe Xiongqi
Qi was much calmer than Timur. Seeing that he could not save the wounded, let alone retrieve the bodies, he led his troops to flee to the northwest. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he turned to the southwest and headed toward Timur.
Er led his troops to break through and galloped in the direction.
Na He Xiongqi was heading towards, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan, Yang Yihang, and Ma Yigong ignored him. Wokouzhai Langyan directly instructed the main force of Luqi to break out in the southwest. They led their troops to bypass Wangdentai Mountain and turn to the southwest.
, also detached a section to climb Wangshan Mountain and establish observation posts to monitor the movements of the enemy and ourselves in the southwest.
There were scattered horses all around Wang Dengtai Mountain. The Nahe Xiongqi tribe broke out in a hurry and naturally could not maintain a marching array of one person, two horses or three horses. Most of the people could only take care of the horses under their crotches when they were being chased and fled for their lives, that is, riding.
It is difficult for a person who is skilled in shooting to take good care of two or three horses in the life-threatening rush of a large army. The extra horses are left scattered in the wild and become the capture of the Jiangdong Left Army.
When Nahe Xiongqi arrived five miles southwest of Wangdengtai Mountain, Timur was entangled again by Cao Ziang's troops, and the other troops of the Jiangdong Left Army and the remaining cavalry of the Jinzhong Army rushed here to strengthen the troops here.
Cavalry combat capabilities. Nah Xiongqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward again. After relieving Timur, he broke out in two groups again.
Repeatedly, he fought until dark with almost no feeling. Looking at the bright moon in the sky and the snow all over the fields, He Xiongqi also felt that the sky was not helping him and that the night was taking advantage of the opponent to pursue him. He felt exhausted and his crotch was sweating.
Chu Rujing was afraid that he would be ruined if he ran again. He thought that Timur should be able to escape while it was dark. Although he guessed that Lin Fu would lay an ambush in the northwest, the gap in the northwest was very large, so he might not be able to hit him.
to the ambush.
There is no way. Although Jiangdong soldiers are infantry, they control the trend of the battlefield. The infantry pursues in a straight line and rarely wastes physical energy. This is the advantage brought by controlling the battlefield, and it can also be seen that Lin Fu's behind-the-scenes command is very efficient.
Gao, let go of the outposts, cover the cavalry, and only let them carry the wounded and relatively slow-moving main force. Na He Xiongqi led the covering cavalry to rush left and right. At the end of the day, I don’t know if there were more soldiers than Jiangdong soldiers.
Run several times the distance.
Under this situation, Nahe Xiongqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and break out to the northwest. He sent two teams of cavalry to search in front. He followed them with the main force and broke out to the northwest.
By midnight, except for a small number of scouts from the Jiangdong Left Army, Na He Xiongqi did not encounter any strong resistance, but a feeling of despair filled his heart.
Lin Fu couldn't be arrogant enough to encircle and annihilate them all. He would definitely focus on interception and pursuit operations. There was no interception force here, which meant that Timur, who was rushing to the southwest, would be the focus of the Jiangdong left army's outflanking.
At this time, it was already a hundred miles away from Wangdengtai Mountain, and even further away from Timur's tribe. Nahe Xiongqi looked at the men on the left and right, and saw that there were almost no perfect men. They were all covered in blood, and the horses under him were also extremely short, so he had no choice but to give up.
Looking back for Timur's tribe, I can only hope that Timur will have more luck and pull more people out.
Nahe Xiongqi sent dozens of remaining cavalry to the south to collect the defeated troops. He led the seven or eight hundred cavalry who followed him to break out of the encirclement and continued to the northwest. Prince Ye Ji Luorong should send reinforcements, thinking that he would follow him first
Let’s talk about it after the reinforcements from the northern front are reunited.
