Seeing that the opponent's riding skills were so superb that he could easily change horses on such a fast horse, and the change of formation was also completed during a sprint, the fighting spirit on Li Xuanba's face became even stronger, but then
Another look of pity.
Changing horses and changing into formation during the sprint is naturally nothing to their Bao Xiong Battalion, or even all the cavalry of the entire Far East Army. However, if the Wagang Army cavalry can reach this level, it is indeed considered to be one of the most powerful armies in the world.
At least among the original soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, only the elite could do this.
"It's just a pity..." Li Xuanba murmured to himself, and then said loudly: "Give me the order, the sound may be louder after a while, be careful to control the horse."
Seeing that the distance between the two sides had shrunk by five to six hundred steps, the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army was still motionless. While You Junda was ecstatic in his heart, he also secretly cursed that Li Xuanba really had something wrong with his brain as the legend said.
Then he looked up again at the flag that was blown by the wind, thinking that even God was on his side!
The wind at this time happened to be blowing in the opposite direction. As their horses galloped, they would definitely stir up dust. If the wind blew up again, the dust would hit each other's face, which would also cause pain. If it hit their eyes,
Here, hey, that would be more fun.
………
………
"These terrifying weapons master has created are very powerful, but I still like to charge on the battlefield and kill people with one knife and one shot!" Li Xuanba looked at the Wagang Army cavalry charging towards them with a strange look on his face.
The look of regret.
Almost as soon as Li Xuanba finished speaking, something strange happened.
When the Wagang Army's cavalry was still about 400 steps away from them, a series of explosions suddenly sounded from under the Wagang Army's cavalry horses.
But You Junda didn't know that Li Xuanba didn't lead the Storm Bear Battalion cavalry to charge immediately, not because he was inexperienced, let alone because he had a brain problem, but because Wang Junlin had already arranged people to do so in his plan.
Hundreds of mines were laid where the Wagang Army cavalry passed.
The Storm Bear Battalion itself is the wolf cavalry beside the Turkic Great Khan. Naturally, they have no shortage of combat experience. Unlike Li Shanfei's 10,000 people, they do not need to be tempered. Instead, they must do everything possible to preserve themselves. So according to Wang
Jun Lin personally instructed to use a hundred new landmines designed by Nie Xiaoyu himself.
From the time of Wagang Army to Li Mi and Xu Shiji, although the army had heard about the power of the Far Eastern Army's gunpowder weapons from the intelligence they obtained, the saying "hearing is false and seeing is true" has not been experienced personally, or in other words, it has not been experienced personally.
After a solid experience, they will never know or know how to truly deal with such a situation.
There was a loud bang and flames rose up on the battlefield.
The explosion directly caused 4,000 to 5,000 casualties to the Wagang Army cavalry who had just charged in a dense formation.
The most important thing was that the sound was too loud. Although Xu Shiji specifically told You Junda to put something in the ears of the war horse, the sound this time was really too loud, and it was also accompanied by a certain shock wave and
The ground trembled.
Therefore, the horses of the Wagang Army cavalry, who were unprepared and had never experienced anything before, were all frightened and ran around wildly. The soldiers on the horses all had their ears buzzing and swayed this way and that, with frightened expressions on their faces.
At this moment, the Wagang Army soldiers were stunned by the bombing.
The 10,000 cavalrymen in the Storm Bear Battalion opposite all had earplugs in their ears. They were specially made by the Yancheng Weapons and Equipment Production Base of the Far Eastern Army.
In addition, they had already adapted to this kind of explosion, and the impact on them was minimal. As soon as the explosion ended, they took out something from the ears of their horses, and following Li Xuanba's order, they fired at the explosion.
The cavalry of the Wagang Army, which had been disrupted in formation, launched a charge.
This battle only lasted for half an hour, and the 30,000 elite Wagang Army cavalry were defeated, and it was a complete defeat.
The 10,000 cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army pursued them all the way to Fengyang City. Then, before reinforcements from Fengyang City left the city, they led the troops back to the mountains behind Huangshi Village, thus cutting off the retreat from Huangshi Village to Yaojin.
In this battle, the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Wagang Army killed more than 17,000 people and injured more than 2,000 people. You Junda was also seriously injured because he was at the forefront, and was rescued by his own soldiers desperately.
However, the Far Eastern Army's 10,000 cavalry only killed 342 people and injured nearly 100 people.
This is a serious victory.
…
…
Huangshi Village persisted for half a day. At noon, Huangshi Village was attacked by Li Shanfei and his men.
Cheng Yaojin did not wait for the planned reinforcements, and led more than 4,000 remnant troops to escape from the mountain road that had been prepared in advance to the back mountain, and came to the flat land leading to Fengyang City.
There are even 5,000 war horses that Cheng Yaojin sent people to hide in advance. As long as their more than 4,000 soldiers are mounted on the war horses, they are excellent cavalry and can quickly withdraw to Fengyang City.
Li Xuanba, who felt that he was not satisfied with the killing, immediately returned to the back mountain of Huangshi Village after defeating and repelling the reinforcements of the Wagang Army, hoping to kill again.
Therefore, when Cheng Yaojin and his more than 4,000 remnant troops just rode on the war horses that had been hidden in advance and breathed a long sigh of relief, the cavalry led by Li Xuanba had already appeared in their sight.
Looking at the silent and silent cavalrymen of the Storm Bear Battalion, Cheng Yaojin knew that he not only lost this battle, but also lost miserably.
Behind them, there were nearly 10,000 Far Eastern Army infantrymen chasing them along the mountain road. In front of them, there were cavalry blocking the way, and they excitedly rushed towards them.
Cheng Yaojin found in despair that there were nearly 10,000 Far Eastern Army cavalry coming from the front. The vanguard troops had already rushed into his own queue, and the enemy troops were still coming in an endless stream from the end of his field of vision.
How could this happen? According to the previous plan, Xu Shiji would send at least 30,000 elite cavalry reinforcements, and according to the military information they had previously obtained, the Far Eastern Army's Bao Xiong Camp plus Li Shanfei only had 50,000 people, plus these days
The loss was more than 45,000 people.
In addition to the more than 20,000 people who besieged Huangshi Village, there were also 20,000 troops from the Baoxiong Camp stationed at Xiaohedao Pass. Even though the Far East Army had long expected that Xu Shiji would send reinforcements, they could only mobilize a maximum of 10,000 troops.
No matter how powerful the Far Eastern Army is, even if the 30,000 elite cavalry reinforcements sent by Xu Shiji cannot defeat these 10,000 Far Eastern Army, they can still hold on until he and his men escape from the back mountain of Huangshi Village!
However, now they could not see any reinforcements, and looking at the number of Far Eastern Army cavalry blocking their retreat, they found that they were almost exactly 10,000.
Did Xu Shiji not send reinforcements as planned?
Cheng Yaojin had a lot of thoughts in an instant, but the current situation did not allow him to think about this issue.
