The impact of the cavalry's flesh and blood body is also huge. If the spear with its tail pressed against the ground does not rely on the groove of the ground, a person would not be able to withstand the impact. The tough spear is under the huge impact.
The bottom was bent into an arc. The crackling sound of breaking could be heard everywhere, and countless spears were unable to withstand the fierce impact of the opponent and broke apart.
Under the huge inertia, even with the spear in front, the cavalry could not stop. The cavalry and war horses rushed into the Luoyan Army crowd with huge impact, and the sweeping force caused the Luoyan Army soldiers to roll over.
The ground is difficult to avoid, causing chaos in the formation of the Luoyan Army.
Generally speaking, the spear formation was able to offset the opponent's charge. Hundreds of cavalry just hit the tip of the spear, and their bodies were penetrated like candied haws on it. The Luoyan Army's formation was also on the opponent's side.
Under the huge impact of the cavalry, everyone was shattered. There was chaos in front of the formation. Many people resisted the spear with all their strength, but they were hit with blood spurting from their mouths.
Fortunately, the impact did not last long. If the horse could not break through the opponent's formation, the subsequent cavalry would not be able to continue the impact. After withstanding the first wave of charge by the cavalry, the goal for the Luoyan Army was
has been reached.
"Kill!" Lin Jue roared loudly and swung the long knife forward.
"Kill!" the officers and soldiers of the Luoyan Army shouted in unison, and rushed forward with their swords drawn. The situation soon entered a melee stage between cavalry and infantry. The officers and soldiers of the Luoyan Army were good at hand-to-hand combat, and after offsetting the charge of the cavalry,
, then it was time for them to show off their skills. Even if they faced cavalry on horseback, the Luoyan Army was not afraid at all. The power of the cavalry lies in charging and killing, not in melee combat. The cavalry cannot exert the power of charging and maneuvering.
The power is actually very limited.
The Luoyan Army's daily training subjects include hand-to-hand combat against cavalry. The cavalry sits on a horse and is condescending, which is definitely an advantage for the infantry. How to resolve this disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat is an important issue.
Topic. The Luoyan Army's response strategy is to not only strengthen martial arts training and make their bodies more flexible, but also actively implement the principle of killing people first. Once the high-ranking cavalry have no mounts, they are just infantry.
That's all.
Therefore, once they entered into hand-to-hand combat, a large number of war horses screamed and fell down. The Luoyan Army soldiers immediately launched an attack on the horses. The swords hit the horses' legs, and there were many broken hoofs on the ground. The war horses
When he fell down with a mournful cry, the cavalry on the horse had no time to jump down. He and his horse fell to the ground, and then they were chopped down with swords and died violently.
When the formations of both sides rolled over each other, wherever the Luoyan Army soldiers went, there were few upright horses. I only saw the cavalry charging the infantry formation, and the infantry fell down like straw. Today, the situation was reversed, the infantry rushed in
In the cavalry formation, the cavalry fell down one after another like cutting leeks. It was really incredible. The cavalry on horseback waved their swords in vain and leaned over to kill. However, the opponent's soldiers were too flexible and could not jump around at all.
They couldn't hit the target. Instead, they were limited by the limitations of the horse's back. For the first time, the cavalry felt that the horse under their crotch was a burden. This was a feeling they had never had before. You must know that riding a war horse and chasing down the crying and fleeing infantry is the responsibility of the cavalry.
patent, but today everything is reversed.
The battle only lasted for less than a stick of incense, and the cavalry in the rear felt something was wrong. Seeing the brothers in front falling one after another, and no war horse could stand on the ground wherever the opponent went, it felt like
Horror and despair. Finally, some people began to turn their horses and think about escaping between the mountains and fields. This escape was a big rout. There was a dead end behind and a dead end ahead. Their only choice was to escape.
Between the mountains and fields on both sides. However, the place was full of rolling hills, forests, thorns, ravines, and weeds. It was getting dark again. Within a dozen steps, both men and horses fell down. There was no way to escape.
The battle came to an end after an hour. The battle actually lasted less than half an hour, but it took a lot of effort to hunt down and capture these cavalrymen who were running around. They held torches and searched everywhere for the Forbidden Army lying in the ravines, weeds and woods.
The cavalry is not an easy job. Lin Jue just conducted a symbolic search and then announced his evacuation. There was no need to capture all these people. The main thing was to seize all the remaining horses and equipment. This is what Lin Jue wanted.
Things. As for those cavalry, there is no need to kill them all. Let them hide in the grass and thorns and shiver in the cold autumn night. Let them go back alive to promote the bravery of the Luoyan Army. Those who are against Luoyan
Military is beneficial.
The entire blocking operation lasted less than two hours. Zhao Yuankang's 10,000 cavalrymen were left with more than 7,000 people and fled in a hurry. The Luoyan Army suffered less than 300 casualties, captured 900 horses, more than 400 prisoners, and 3,000 weapons and armor.
It can be said that it was a complete victory. More importantly, this battle greatly affected the morale of the Luoyan Army. After this battle, the Luoyan Army withstood the test. Many soldiers gained valuable confidence and experience and moved towards becoming a
A solid step for a true army.
Zhao Yuankang immediately ordered the evacuation of Bowang Town after dark. He did not dare to have any more thoughts. It was even more dangerous after dark. Who knew where the Luoyan Army would appear to ambush them. The cavalry was very dangerous at night.
It is difficult to exert combat effectiveness. Even if it is difficult to explain to Guo Xu, Zhao Yuankang can only bite the bullet and return to life.
At the second watch, Zhao Yuankang was defeated and returned to the army camp. Guo Xu, who was already lying down to rest, heard the news that Zhao Yuankang was ambushed and defeated in Bowangpo and cursed angrily. Zhao Yuankang repeatedly accused him and kowtowed under the tent.
Begging for mercy. Guo Xu originally wanted to severely punish him, because the army suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle, which really damaged morale. But thinking that the war was imminent, and Zhao Yuankang was the commander of the army personally selected by himself, it was taboo to kill and change commanders before the war.
So I can only grit my teeth and endure it.
However, Guo Xu told Zhao Yuankang that he had remembered all the heroic words he said before the war and the poisonous oaths he swore. If he could not atone for his sins later, he would fulfill his wish and shoot him with random arrows. Zhao Yuankang repeatedly
He said yes, feeling extremely depressed.
Although this unexpected defeat in the battle made Guo Xu extremely angry, it also aroused Guo Xu's greater anger and desire to win. It was obvious that his plan was discovered by the enemy, and then Lin Jue
He understood his own intentions, so he set up an ambush. Guo Xu understood the gap between himself and Lin Jue, but he just refused to admit it. However, this defeat did not affect the overall situation. The 160,000-strong army only suffered superficial injuries.
That's all, since the strategy is not as good as that of the opponent, there is no need to play fancy things. Attack the East Valley honestly and go straight to Luoyan Valley. This may be the final solution to the problem.
The reason why he made the decision to raid from Shiren Mountain Pass was that Guo Xu did not want to use a stupid attack strategy, and he also wanted to show off his own methods and let the world know that he was more superior to Lin Jue's strategy.
.But after being frustrated, Guo Xu calmed down and decided to attack Dongshan Pass in a disciplined manner. In the face of absolute strength, it is actually difficult for the opponent to resist the attack of his own army. The more fancy things he plays, the easier it will be.
If Lin Jue caught the loophole and bit him, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Guo Xu couldn't sleep anymore, so he immediately passed down the decree and the army set off immediately. All the soldiers cursed in their hearts, it was really annoying that the emperor wanted to march in the middle of the night. But since the imperial edict was issued and the military orders were like mountains, they did not dare to disobey. All
People had to get up and pack up, and it wasn't until early in the morning that the army was ready to leave Qichen.
It is not far from Funiu Mountain. After crossing the Baihe River and entering Nanzhao County, it is already within the scope of Funiu Mountain. When the sun rises, the army is already in the wilderness before the Dongshan Canyon of Funiu Mountain.
Lower camp.
Guo Xu personally led the generals to climb the hill in front to check the terrain ahead. The Funiu Mountain in front of him looked particularly tall in the early morning light. Countless mountains near and far were hidden in the morning mist. Two tall mountains outside Li Xu were
It is steep, with a canyon in front between the two mountains, deep and wide. This canyon is the natural passage from the east side to the north side of Funiu Mountain, and it is also the only way to Luoyan Valley Dazhai.
The hillsides on both sides of the canyon are lush and densely wooded. Although there are no defensive soldiers and horses on the outside, everyone knows that on both sides of the canyon, there are countless Luoyan Army soldiers and horses as well as defensive fortifications and arrow towers hidden. This seemingly
The thoroughfare of Dongshan Canyon is actually full of murderous potential and extremely dangerous.
"When will my baggage and equipment arrive?" Guo Xu put down his clairvoyance and turned to ask the people around him.
Zhao Yuankang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "It is inconvenient to cross the river with equipment. A pontoon bridge is being built on the Baihe River. It will be reached soon, in about two hours."
"Two hours? I can't wait any longer. Zhao Yuankang, please tell us how we should fight," Guo Xu said.
Zhao Yuankang had already learned his lesson after what happened yesterday, and he held up his hands and said: "I will fight as the emperor says. The emperor's strategy must be brilliant, and I will not show my shame."
Guo Xu sneered and said: "You can shirk it. But I really don't need your advice. I have already thought about it. Come here, pass my order and send three thousand cavalry into the canyon and attack forcefully."
"This..." All the generals were stunned.
Guo Xu frowned and said, "What? Is there any problem?"
"Your Majesty, aren't you asking three thousand cavalry to die?" a general said boldly.
Guo Xu laughed loudly and said: "General Bai Qi, you have led troops in border towns for many years. Don't you know how to lure the enemy? At this moment, we don't know how many ambushes and arrow towers the other side has, so we have to lure them out.
.These three thousand cavalry are the bait to lure them to take action. You are right to say that they will die. They may be annihilated in the canyon, but I know how many people they have ambushed, so I can respond. Understand.
