In the Luoyan Army formation, many soldiers who had witnessed such a big scene for the first time began to tremble. As Lin Jue said, although the Luoyan Army has experienced long and arduous training, it has also undergone psychological construction and
However, once you get to the real battlefield, you will know the difference. The enemy troops rushing over the mountains and plains in front of you, the deafening shouts of killing, the dazzling brilliance of the weapons, covering the sky and the sun.
The sight of hunting flags was a scene and shock that they could never imagine in their imaginations. These Luoyan Army soldiers were also somewhat unlucky. They were unable to gain experience and psychological construction step by step from small battles, and were forced to
Forced to face such a suffocating scene directly, how could they not be frightened.
However, although they were shaking nervously, they did not collapse on the spot. Because beside them, the veterans and generals of the Luoyan Army stood like mountains on horseback, standing in the formation, without any trace of timidity or fear.
Fear. They can also see that their coach Lin Jue is sitting on the back of a five-flowered horse, holding a long sword in his hand without fear. Those backbones of the Luoyan Army, those who have experienced the iron-blooded years of the Luoyan Army,
The generals and veterans who have experienced the baptism of battle are standing on the coast like rocks at this moment, welcoming the enemy's troops and horses coming like a sea wave. Their calmness plays a role in stabilizing people's hearts and playing a role in military affairs.
The function of the backbone.
"Get ready!" Next to Lin Jue, as Sun Dayong shouted, a red flag was raised high in the air, bright and eye-catching.
"Get ready!" Each formation of the Luoyan Army responded immediately, pulling out the bow strings and setting up the bows and arrows. The springs of the crossbows clicked, and the quivers full of crossbow arrows were quickly loaded.
The overwhelming Jurchen cavalry took less than half a stick of incense to rush into the front line of the Luoyan Army's two thousand cavalry troops. At the same time, the red command flag of the Luoyan Army's center waved violently, accompanied by three red
Fireworks rocketed into the sky with a screaming sound, and the Luoyan Army cavalry began to snipe with bows and crossbows at the oncoming enemies.
Arrows as dense as locusts covered the sky and the sun, and the buzzing sound of the bow strings was like a swarm of bees. When the repeater's spring was fired, a short and powerful clicking sound was heard. In the short few breaths of time the opponent entered the shooting range
, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were shot, and they all poured into the opponent's formation.
Blood bloomed in advance like spring flowers. The strikes of strong bows and repeating crossbows caused countless bloody flowers to burst out from the Jurchen cavalry formation. Screams and moans, and the sad hisses of war horses were mixed with the terrifying whooshing sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air.
, and a deep popping sound that penetrated the flesh and blood. Countless Jurchen cavalry were shot to the ground under the dense rain of arrows. The war horses rolled on the ground, stirring up real black grass and mud. The knights on the horses were thrown away.
In the air, people bared their teeth and screamed in agony. Some of them were shot into porcupines by the dense crossbow arrows before they landed in the air. Those who landed had no good fruits to eat. Even if they were not hit by the arrows, they could not escape the trampling of the cavalry's horses' hooves.
.
In a very short period of time, more than 3,000 Jurchen cavalry were shot off their horses. Some were shot directly, while others were trampled to death by the hooves of their own cavalry who did not stop. Fortunately, the Jurchen cavalry had abundant cavalry charge skills.
Based on their experience, they adopted a skirmishing formation and a deep echelon attack instead of a swarm attack. Otherwise, they would die from the rain of crossbows and trample on each other, and the casualties would be greater. But even so, in just one short period of time,
The rain of arrows caused thousands of casualties, but the Luoyan Army's long-distance blocking ability was still extremely amazing.
.
But all this failed to stop the Jurchen cavalry from attacking. Being blocked by bows and arrows during the charge has long been something the cavalry must face. Especially after entering the opponent's range, all they can do is not evade, because there is no way to evade.
Instead, they have to rush forward even more desperately until they break through the opponent's defense line. Therefore, although the opponent's sniper firepower is fierce, the Jurchen cavalry charge faster.
The effective range of the crossbow is only more than a hundred steps. This distance of more than a hundred steps is only enough time for two rounds of shooting under the rapid charge of the cavalry. Although the Luoyan Army cavalry has abnormal long-range attack weapons such as repeating crossbows,
More than ten crossbows in the quiver can be shot empty in a short time. However, the number of repeating crossbows is limited after all. The entire Luoyan Army cavalry is equipped with less than 5,000 repeating crossbows, and the rest are all ordinary bows and arrows. This thing is too manufactured.
It is complex and exquisite and cannot be easily copied in large quantities. Five thousand repeating crossbows are already a very large number. But at this moment, it is obviously not enough to stop the Jurchens' attack.
In the blink of an eye, the Jurchen cavalry on the front had already rushed within fifty steps. At this moment, the Luoyan Army cavalry had just had time to shoot out the second round of arrows. The closer they were, the better their accuracy and the stronger their lethality. This
As a result, more people fell off their horses, and more Jurchen cavalry were shot and rolled off their horses. However, after paying the price of more than 6,000 casualties, the Jurchen cavalry in the front also rushed to the front. The Luoyan Army cavalry in the front could no longer
When they had the opportunity to fire arrows, they were already face to face with the charging opponent, and had to engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
In the rear, Wanyan Aguda looked nervously at the situation on the battlefield after his own cavalry rushed within fifty steps. Although he saw the scene of his own soldiers being shot and killed, with their bodies lying on their backs and flying everywhere, Wanyan
Aguda burst into laughter unexpectedly.
The generals and guards around him were all confused, thinking that the leader had taken the wrong medicine. Seeing that his own cavalry suffered such heavy casualties, he still smiled with gloating? Could it be that he was stupid. Only Li Guochou knew about Wanyan Agu.
Why did Da Da laugh so happily? Because, it was still crossbows that shot the Jurchen cavalry in front of the battle, not the firearms of the Luoyan Army that worried Wanyan Aguda the most. Within a distance of fifty steps, it was the shotguns that were at their best.
At such a powerful distance, there was no roaring sound in front of the formation, which shows that the opponent's ordinary soldiers and horses are really not equipped with firearms. What Li Guoqiu said is right. How could the Luoyan Army be equipped with such complex and expensive firearms? That day
The attacking soldiers and horses should be the only cavalry equipped with firearms in the Luoyan Army. The number cannot exceed a thousand. A big stone in Wanyan Agu's heart finally fell to the ground. As long as the opponent does not have a large number of such firearms, everything will
It's already under your control.
The hand-to-hand combat started in the front. Relying on the powerful impact, the Jurchen cavalry quickly rushed into the Luoyan Army's frontal formation. The two cavalry teams of the Luoyan Army in the front were naturally not good at fighting. They were commanded by Shen Tan and Ma Qingshan respectively.
When the opponent rushed forward, Shen Tan and Ma Qingshan were already ready. With an order, the cavalrymen had already drawn out their long, narrow and sharp Greedy Wolf Swords to fight. The two sides instantly intertwined their formations and fought.
together.
The Jurchens grew up on horses and were excellent at riding and shooting. The Jurchens were said to be the second most powerful cavalry in the world, but no one dared to say they were the first. The Liao people were said to be the best cavalry in the world, but they were beaten to death in front of the Jurchens.
The prototype. Therefore, in the minds of the Jurchen cavalry, they take it for granted that they are the best in the world. Anyone who dares to compete with themselves
Opponents who fought on horseback were overestimated. Therefore, they did not pay attention to the Luoyan Army cavalry from the beginning of the battle. They thought that once they entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat on horseback, the Luoyan Army Cavalry would quickly collapse. Because it is ridiculous.
What is there to fear about the cavalry of the Southern Zhou people? What’s more, it’s a rebel that is said to live in the mountains.
However, as soon as they fought, the Jurchen cavalry felt something was wrong. The Luoyan Army cavalry were not weak at all. The weapons in their hands were different from all the opponents they had encountered. They were long, narrow, and sharp. Compared with those used by the Jurchen cavalry,
The crescent sword was more than a foot long. Both sides slashed at each other, but the crescent sword could not reach each other at all. The two sides slashed at each other, and the Jurchen cavalry fell off their horses one after another. Those who were slashed by the sharp Greedy Wolf Sword were turned upside down, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Jurchen cavalry immediately used their best tactics. They got close to the opponent and ran on the opponent's horse like monkeys. They wanted to use their flexible skills to engage in more personal combat. This was also their specialty. They could ride on the opponent's horse.
On the opponent's shoulders, stuck to the opponent's back, then cut the opponent's throat with a knife blade, gouge out the opponent's eyes with fingers, and bite off the opponent's ears and nose with teeth.
However, they were surprised to find that this kind of tactics was simply a way to die. The Luoyan Army cavalry all had close combat skills, and they were not at all inferior in close combat. The Jurchen cavalry who jumped on the opponent's horse encountered a lot of trouble.
Unprecedented defeat, each of them had their joints broken, their fingers and wrist joints twisted, their necks strangled by the opponent, and they were ruthlessly slaughtered after losing the ability to fight.
Lin Jue had seen the Jurchens' fighting techniques. Especially on the south bank of the Daling River, Lin Jue had witnessed an ambush battle between the Jurchens and the Liao people. He had witnessed with his own eyes how the Jurchens were biting like wild beasts.
To defeat the Liao people through hand-to-hand combat. After returning to Funiu Mountain, Lin Jue of course had to carry out targeted defenses. The best defense method was to teach the Luoyan Army soldiers the art of close combat. For this purpose, Lin Jue hired
A dozen martial arts figures with high martial arts skills, including Bai Bing's master Bai Yushuang, were recruited as instructors of the Luoyan Army. They taught the soldiers of the Luoyan Army targeted close combat techniques to separate muscles and bones. It doesn't take much, just focus.
Just choose the most practical dozen tricks and can implement them on horseback. Some people naturally think that this is not necessary, but Lin Jue insists on doing this to prevent such a day from happening. Unexpectedly, this move turned out to be true today.
It came in handy.
I originally thought that the opponent's formation would break up as soon as they rushed, and it would soon become a one-sided hunting time. However, the frontal battle between the cavalry was hindered. The Jurchen cavalry attacking two Luoyan Army troops of ten thousand people not only failed to defeat the opponent, but suffered a terrible encounter.
A huge loss. But fortunately, the Jurchen cavalry had a large number of soldiers and horses. Although the 50,000 cavalry on the front suffered a lot of losses, they still had an absolute advantage at this moment, and they would not panic to the point of defeat.
The forward general Cha'erhan was extremely anxious. He was only able to become the forward general because his superior Hulu was killed by the Luoyan Army two days ago during a surprise attack. He took over Hulu's position before taking over.
In fact, in terms of qualifications, he is not qualified. So he really wants to perform well and not let the big leader down. Because he, the forward general, is only temporary. Once the battle fails to satisfy the big leader, he will be replaced immediately.
Before the battle, Chaerhan had patted his chest to defeat his opponent. In the current battle, his 50,000 cavalry had already lost eight or nine thousand men, but he was blocked by the opponent and made no progress at all. This is unacceptable.
The big leader must have blown his beard and glared.
