Chapter 2137 The hot-blooded youth back then, today's hot-blooded youth
Yang Zhizhi killed the general of Western Liao, Xiao Chala Abu, and led his troops to annihilate all the remaining enemy troops under his command. Also located in another corner of the Ili Valley, another general of Western Liao, Erbus, suffered several attacks.
The powerful forces of the Qi army were also overwhelmed by the flanking attack, and they retreated in panic all the way. There were also fierce generals who blocked the retreat of the remnants.
However, Shi Jin, who is leading this army, is only in charge of the central army. If he had followed his past competitive temperament, he might have been unable to wait to lead the army to charge. However, after experiencing many battles and growing up, Shi Jin has a natural temperament.
He became much calmer. At this time, he was surrounded by a group of fierce military cavalry and stood up. After looking forward for a moment, he suddenly laughed loudly and said: "This boy has some skills!"
When Xiao Tang moved his troops back to the court, there were also military juniors who had studied military skills in the Martial Arts Academy of the Capital and the thatched cottage private school opened by Yue Fei. They had achieved success and were gradually transferred to the Western Regions to fight.
The younger boy named Wei Sheng was transferred to the tent to take orders. Shi Jin also had a similar temperament with him and was determined to promote him.
When Wei Sheng came to the military department to listen to the command, he had already made a petition to build a chariot that could accommodate fifty people, equipped with animal-faced wooden signs, felt curtains, soft signs, and dozens of large guns, and called it Ruyi.
Chariots. Each chariot is equipped with hooks on both sides, which can be separated or closed. It can be used to transport baggage and supplies when marching. When in battle, the chariots can be connected to form a camp. When fighting with the enemy, the chariots are outside.
, the artillery is in the center, and there are ballistas and chariots to attack, and the soldiers in the army and chariot formation defend the enemy with swords, guns, axes and spears, which can be used far or near, so they can be used for great purposes.
Now, according to the structure of the Ruyi chariot created by Wei Sheng, military commanders in the Western Army have also begun to imitate it. When Shi Jin saw that Wei Sheng was a talented person, he gave him full authority to teach him how to command several battalions of troops and horses.
Arrange the Ruyi chariots in the other direction and give Wei Sheng a chance to make a name for himself. Let's see if he can seize it!
Smoke and dust were billowing in the distance. General Erbus of the Western Liao Dynasty encountered Yang Zaixing, Zhang Xian and even the Khwarezmo national army who had defected to the Qi Dynasty and suffered a disastrous defeat. He also fled in embarrassment along the way. It was too early to see this place.
With the Qi army blocking their way, Erbus saw the troops and horses in Shi Jin's formation gathering together with great momentum, so he immediately decided to lead the remaining troops and rush toward Wei Sheng.
After all, there is a large enemy army chasing and killing behind the mountains and seas. Rather than crashing into the huge enemy formation on the other side, it is necessary to fight through the enemy's formation, which is only a few thousand rows from there.
You will be more confident if you break out!
The whole earth also began to tremble. Erbus' troops in Xiliao and the remaining tribesmen in Xiliao who were eager to break out still had tens of thousands of horses. When they urged their horses to speed up, their momentum should not be underestimated.
However, the chariot formation under the command of Wei Sheng remained motionless. Not only had all the soldiers in the battalions been in formation for a long time, they would not take this kind of formation seriously. The face of Wei Sheng, who was just starting out, was full of eagerness to try.
, the desire to achieve success has already been extremely intense!
Seeing the menacing enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, the light in Wei Sheng's eyes skyrocketed. He slashed forward with great force with the sword in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Fire!"
A moment later, several artillery pieces whose fuses were ignited by the gunners roared and fired almost at the same time. The falling shells hit the dense cavalry formation and exploded immediately. Not only were more than ten cavalrymen and their horses immediately killed by the bombardment, Death, the frightening power of such a shaking caused the Xiliao cavalry formation that was galloping and charging to scatter immediately!
After all, in today's weather, the stability of the formation is not only related to the morale of the army. In the battle of forcible breakout, the cavalry troops must also form a dense array to launch a fierce charge against the local infantry formation. However, the smoothbore artillery that came out not long ago was also used by the ling The wind artillery, the golden wheel cannon, the mother-and-sonley cannon, etc., which are successively improved and built by Zhenzhen, are already extremely powerful. If this gun goes down, it will not only cause an explosion effect like that of thunderous firearms, but also projectiles. The fragments are scattered in all directions, and the killing effect is more significant. Such a long-distance bombardment is enough to disrupt the enemy's originally tight formation!
What's more, a moment later, on top of the Ruyi chariots linked by iron chains in the front row of the formation commanded by Wei Sheng, several heavy-duty crossbows were also triggered, and the giant arrows of crossbow bolts as thick as spears were cocked. Wei Sheng again With an order, the screams and roars that almost shattered people's eardrums also became one. The crossbow machine fired in succession, and the giant crossbow arrows roared out, plunging into the surging enemy cavalry formation and drawing blood. The fountain splashes!
Immediately afterwards, in the Qi army's chariot formation, the sound of bowstrings cutting and grooving was as dense as rain. Wei Sheng followed his tactics and used artillery, bed crossbows, and strong bows and powerful crossbows as the enemy troops approached from far away. .Launching a fierce attack also caused the enemy cavalrymen who were rushing into the formation to overturn their horses and suffered heavy casualties. The cavalrymen and horses in the front who were killed by artillery shells and crossbows fell to the ground, and their colleagues who came one after another from behind were unable to hold back. He stopped, which caused a large number of troops and horses to collapse and trample them. Although Erbus's army paid a huge price and finally rushed to the front of the vehicle formation, the originally dense and compact army formation could not help but collapse. , which makes it even more difficult to shake the solid formation arrayed by Ruyi Chariots...
Countless spears were thrust through the gaps in the Ruyi chariot and the crenellations on the chariot, and were stabbed into the flesh and blood of the Xiliao knights and their mounts who were rushing over. There were also heavily armored men above the chariot. The fierce infantry wielding Mo Dao, axes and other weapons were slashing and killing, and the scattered enemy cavalry could not break down the army formation here. At any rate, two to three hundred chariots were lying across the gravel hills between the Gobi. In this time, it was enough to withstand the momentum of the vast majority of enemy cavalry to break through. The remaining army horses of Western Liao were like a torrent of water, hitting the towering rocks, splashing water all over the sky in vain, and it was not enough to overwhelm them. The Qi army's chariot formation looks like iron barrels!
Erbus, who was anxious and impatient, never expected that the chariot array arranged by the Qi army could attack from a distance. Not only did it cause his own army to collapse, but the chariots were connected together and were solid and reliable. In desperation, he They had already decided to take a circuitous route and rush through the gap between the car formation and the surrounding hills. Now, under normal circumstances, they could not care about the scattered troops and horses under their command. However, at this moment, the iron locks of several Ruyi chariots on one side of the car formation had been opened. , the formation suddenly filled with a murderous aura. But it was Wei Sheng who personally raised the sword and urged the horse, leading a group of cavalry to form a tight formation, like a sharp knife thrust straight into the dispersed formation of the remaining Western Liao soldiers!
On the contrary, the sharp cavalry of the Qi army who rushed out of the cavalry formation roared and rushed forward, strangling the enemy cavalry who were caught off guard. Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, trampled by horse hoofs, and all the strong cavalrymen who rushed out of the cavalry formation fought hard.
Urging the horse forward, swinging the sword, slashing... The sound of weapons clashing with gold and iron was heard endlessly, and the shaking shouts of killing became more intense. A number of Xiliao Jia riders kept throwing themselves down and falling from their horses. Wei Sheng took the lead and waved his big sword.
The machete immediately burst out with powerful combat power, and blood surged wherever it passed. The sharp cavalry led by it immediately cut the collapsed enemy array into two sections!
Shi Jin, who was paying attention to the battle situation from a distance, immediately cheered when he saw this. He also raised the long knife in his hand and said loudly: "Now it seems... it's time for me to take action myself!"
