While Chaerhan shouted loudly and asked the cavalry to attack fiercely, he quickly thought about countermeasures. Soon, he found a loophole in the opponent's formation. The opponent's troops and horses were arranged in a "qi" shape. This strange formation seemed
There is a huge loophole. That is, there is a huge gap of more than 300 paces wide between the two Luoyan Army cavalry. Deep in the gap is a dense square formation of Luoyan Army infantry. The front is currently occupied by the Luoyan Army.
The cavalry withstood it, and the opponent fought very bravely. It was impossible for them to collapse in a short while. The two cavalry on the flanks were already approaching. When they outflanked us, this battle would definitely end with a great victory for our side.
. However, he has made no achievements as a forward general. I am afraid that I, the temporary forward general, have come to an end. I must do something to save the situation.
Chaerhan quickly made a decision. He would rush in through the gap between the two troops of ten thousand people and massacre the infantry formation of the Luoyan Army in the middle. The heads would be credit, and the opponent's infantry were soft persimmons, so why should he?
Put all your manpower into the firefight with the opponent's cavalry, and let the credit go to the Liao cavalry and Yalu Buhua on both wings. If you can annihilate the opponent's infantry, you can greatly reverse the situation of frontal frustration.
Charhan made up his mind, and immediately gave an order, personally leading 10,000 cavalrymen to penetrate through the gap of more than 300 steps wide between the two Luoyan Army cavalrymen, and rushed towards the infantry formation in the center of the enemy's formation.
At this moment, the Jurchen cavalry that were outflanking and attacking from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest had faced off with four Luoyan Army cavalry troops of 10,000 people. Chaerhan had to deal with the 20,000 infantry before his friendly forces came to get a share of the pie, so he
Without even paying too much attention to what the opponent's infantry was doing, they led ten thousand cavalry to charge fiercely.
The infantry launched a counterattack with bows and arrows, and the powerful bows and arrows rained down. Thousands of cavalrymen fell on their backs and were killed. But this could not stop the cavalry. The 10,000 cavalrymen led by Chaerhan broke through the land of Lixu during the tea time, and from
The two Luoyan Army cavalrymen rushed to the front of the Luoyan Army's infantry formation. The cavalrymen could defeat ten of them. This was no lie. The twenty thousand cavalrymen in front of them could be defeated by just a few thousand cavalrymen charging and trampling them, let alone eight or nine thousand cavalrymen.
.In Chaerhan's view, the other party is already meat on the chopping board, a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, just when the Jurchen cavalry's iron hooves were about to step on the heads of the Luoyan Army infantry, when the distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, the soldiers on both sides could even clearly see each other's ferocious expressions.
The formation of the infantry of the Luoyan Army suddenly changed. The infantry who were standing on the ground shooting arrows without any cover only turned around and suddenly disappeared behind a wall that was as tall as one person. The entire infantry formation in an instant turned into a tower with walls on the outside.
It looks like a square city with walls as high as one person. This is a variation of the infantry and horse-rejection formation, and it is one of the formations used by Luoyan Army infantry to prevent cavalry charges. The horse-rejection formation in front of the infantry formation is a form of defense against cavalry charges.
Commonly used methods, the Luoyan Army changed Juma into a movable Juma wall. The reason why it is called a wall is because the pointed ends of the sharpened logs facing outward are spliced together to form countless spikes.
A wall. All these spiked logs are installed on a three-dimensional triangular horse, with wooden wheels installed below. During combat, just quickly assemble them to quickly form a wall full of spikes.
This is actually not an innovation
Newly, the Luoyan Army just made some changes to make the horse-rejecting wall stronger, more lethal and protective, more flexible, and reusable. It can even be used as a simple bunker at critical times.
It is actually not difficult to make such a horse-rejecting spiked wall. Countless logs are harvested in the Funiu Mountains. This kind of thing does not require any level of craftsmanship. Ordinary soldiers can build it by themselves. You only need to coordinate the size and height of each other.
That's it. But on the battlefield, this kind of infantry has this item, and its impact resistance is greatly enhanced.
The actual battle in front of us is proof. The distance of twenty or thirty steps is only a distance that can be reached in the blink of an eye for the sprinting cavalry. There is almost no room for maneuver. The Jurchen cavalry rushed towards the horse-rejecting wall with both men and horses. It was huge.
The impact of the impact slapped them on top. The screams were accompanied by the sound of broken muscles and bones, which was horrifying. Although the blunt sharp points of the logs could not penetrate their bodies, they could break their muscles and bones. The Jurchen Cavalry
Just like big white fish being thrown heavily to the ground, they were jumping around, but they were already half dead. Although there was no scene of flesh and blood flying around, the injuries suffered were all internal injuries, which were not much worse than the external injuries of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Moreover, because the Juma Wall was angled upwards, many cavalry flew up from above Juma Qiang, screaming and falling into the infantry formation of the Luoyan Army. Naturally, what greeted them was a forest of swords and guns, which were not yet in mid-air.
When he landed on the ground, he was chopped into bloody pieces.
A series of cavalrymen couldn't hold back their forward momentum, and crashed into the Juma Wall with a roar. The Juma Wall was a connected whole, with wooden stakes driven underneath and fixed to the ground, which was extremely strong. Even so, they were all blocked by
The huge impact of the opponent's flesh and blood caused the opponent's body to shift loosely, and was almost knocked open. This shows the great impact of the cavalry charge. In a short period of time, thousands of Jurchen cavalry fell outside the tall horse-rejecting wall.
, the ground was full of Jurchen cavalry and war horses rolling and screaming.
What's even more terrifying is what's behind. When the Jurchen cavalry in the rear saw the tragic situation ahead, they quickly reined in their horses and stopped their charge. They finally stopped their galloping horses in front of the Juma Wall, but they didn't have time to rejoice. In the middle of the Juma Wall
The pointed logs were quickly pulled away, revealing countless holes with the mouth of a bowl laughing. The next moment, countless crossbow arrows shot out from these holes, mowing down a circle of nearby Jurchen cavalry like cutting leeks. This was exactly
Another use of the modified wall is that it can be used as a simple fortification. By pulling out the special wooden peg slot at the back, you can pull out several pointed logs on each separate wall. This way, there is no need to expose the wood.
, you can use crossbows or spears to shoot and stab at the enemies outside.
Chaerhan cursed loudly and was almost on the verge of crying. Only then did he regret his hasty decision. How could the other party place 20,000 infantry in front of the battle without any means of defense and let the other party's cavalry charge and slaughter him? It was obvious that he was too young.
They were too eager to make meritorious deeds and failed to consider everything thoroughly. In addition, the opponent's wall formation of resisting horses was really clever, and it was actually connected into a whole in a very short time. If it were not for this structure, the ordinary formation of resisting horses would have to pay the price of part of the troops.
It can also break through the defense line. This was within the scope of Chaerhan's consideration. He had considered the opponent's bow and arrow block and the possible horse-rejection spear formation, but he never expected that the opponent would actually build a horse-rejection spear formation.
create a connection
The wall was raised up. Such a ferocious impact failed to open a gap. However, the casualties of one or two thousand cavalry who fell in front of the formation were meaningless.
After all this, the 10,000 cavalrymen had killed and wounded more than 3,000 people. Chaerhan had to make a decision, whether to continue attacking the infantry formation or to retreat immediately. Chaerhan made his decision in a very short time
Choice, because he knew that facing this wall of spikes that resisted horses, there seemed to be no way to get over it. Instead of standing here helplessly and being beaten, it was better to quickly make amends and retreat. Even if it was to use the remaining six thousand cavalry to attack the head.
It would be better for any 10,000-man army to support the frontal fight on its flanks than to be shot to death by the opponent here.
"Turn the horse's head around, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" Chaerhan ordered loudly.
The Jurchen cavalry cursed and hurriedly turned around to evacuate. However, they discovered at this moment that the gap of 300 steps between the two cavalry teams of 10,000 people had been blocked by soldiers and horses. That was a team of 1,000 people.
The rest of the cavalry appeared in the rear passage at some unknown time. At this moment, they were not interested in the battle situation around them. Their target was the troop of troops that Charhan broke into the formation.
"Charge, kill them all." Chaerhan found an outlet. He couldn't break through the infantry formation. Was he still afraid that the more than a thousand cavalry would block the way? He thought this must be one of the two Luoyan armies in front of them.
They came to intercept us. Do they still want to surround us and eat us? This is simply wishful thinking.
But at the next moment, Chaerhan realized what kind of dilemma he was encountering and what kind of cavalry he was facing.
Those were the more than a thousand cavalrymen from the personal guard firearms battalion led by Lin Jue and Sun Dayong. I don’t know when they detoured to the rear of the opponent’s cavalry, or perhaps they had already been prepared and were waiting for the opponent to do so.
They threw themselves into a trap and broke into the battle formation. At this moment, it was the time for them to hunt down these lost lambs that broke into the formation.
The Guards Firearms Battalion Cavalry is the most powerful among the Luoyan Army Cavalry. Even without firearms, they are the most skilled, well-equipped, and most powerful troop because they are responsible for protecting their commander, Lin Jue.
They are all loyal, powerful and selected from thousands of people. What's more, they are equipped with more than 600 firearms, and their combat effectiveness has increased several times.
More than 600 guards cavalry holding bastard boxes were the first to charge. Firearms roared and bullets rained down. Wherever they went, people fell on their backs and their horses were invincible. Behind them were more than 400 guards without firearms. Although they did not have firearms, they were equipped with weapons.
The long sword and crossbow can shoot at long range and cut at short range. They are used to follow the firearms cavalry to catch fish that have slipped through the net.
In the eyes of the Jurchen cavalry, these Luoyan Army cavalry are as frightening and awe-inspiring as heavenly soldiers and generals holding thunder in their hands. The firearms in their hands roar with bright flames, as if they have mastered the thunder.
The power is like that of a god. The lethality of those firearms is even more frightening. After the roar and fire, large areas of our own troops fell down, with dense bleeding wounds everywhere on their bodies. It was simply too horrible to look at. Cold weapons and hot weapons.
The battle is obviously destined to be helpless. Although the Luoyan Army's tortoise box is not a real hot weapon, in the face-to-face battle between the two sides, it will definitely crush the opponent. No matter how powerful your opponent is, in the
Under intensive shotgun attacks, they will inevitably end up being slaughtered.
