Chapter 1470 The iron cavalry protrudes from the sword
Wanyan Agu stood on horseback three hundred steps away from the battlefield in the west. He took in everything in front of him. His brows were furrowed and the muscles on his face were tangled and trembling. The opponent was so difficult to deal with, which was definitely beyond his expectation.
Outside. When the outer formation broke through, he was already prepared to charge in person. But the opponent actually had a second line of defense, which made him very angry. Everything had to be done again, and the casualties on his side had already made him a little bit
I couldn't bear it anymore. Although there was no specific number of casualties, Wanyan Agu knew that today he might have experienced the most painful casualties since the attack on the Great Zhou Dynasty. The number of casualties had definitely exceeded 20%. Even if some soldiers and horses were killed or injured,
It was nothing to Wanyan Aguda, but the casualties were as high as 60,000, which definitely exceeded his psychological bottom line. The opponent only had 70,000 troops, and it was a head-on confrontation in the field. Regardless of the situation,
No matter what, it is unacceptable.
"Big leader, I would like to request to lead the Iron Buddha to fight. If this continues, even if the opponent is finally annihilated, our army will have to pay a huge price. Isn't the purpose of establishing the Iron Buddha to destroy the opponent's formation? If all the army's soldiers and horses die
, what’s the point of keeping the Iron Buddha Tu?” Li Guochou on the side could no longer hold back, and asked for a fight in a deep voice, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
Wanyan Aguda nodded slowly. He did not want to use the Iron Buddha Tower in battle because he was worried that the opponent's firearms would cause damage to the Iron Buddha Tower. Although it was heavy armor, and although Li Guoqiu swore that the opponent's firearms would not penetrate the heavy armor,
But Wanyan Aguda still didn't want to take the risk, because Tiefu Tu was too precious.
However, at this moment, he had to let Tiefu Tu go into battle. If he continued like this, the losses would be too heavy. The opponent's formation was too lethal, and the cost of charging into the formation was too high. He could no longer afford to pay for it.
The price has been paid. If in order to annihilate Lin Jue's 70,000 troops, he only reduced his 300,000 troops to half or less, then he would probably have to withdraw his troops in despair immediately. Because even if the battle is won,
, and he is no longer qualified to compete in the Central Plains. If Lu Zhongtian's military strength is stronger than his own, will he still bow to him? Obviously not.
"The military advisor is right, then I ask you to immediately lead the Iron Buddha cavalry into the battle. I will personally lead 10,000 fine cavalry to follow you into the battle. My mace can't wait to smash something." Wanyan Agu said.
Said in a deep voice.
Amidst the loud sound of trumpets, the Tiefutu cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, finally appeared on the western battlefield. The morale of the Jurchen army, which was already slumped, instantly became high because of the Tiefutu's dispatch. Everyone knows that this horse in the army
Regarding the power of the heavy cavalry, they just complained about why the leader never sent out the Iron Buddha cavalry to attack the formation, and let them risk their lives. Now that they finally waited for the Iron Buddha to be dispatched, they no longer had to fight their opponents desperately.
The dispatch of the Iron Buddha is indeed extraordinary. The heavy cavalry, as black as an iron tower, are not very fast. They just come at a trot, but the entire cavalry formation seems to have a fierce evil aura. It is already late afternoon, and the slope is westward.
The spring sun shone from behind the Iron Buddha Cavalry, and the entire heavy cavalry formation seemed to be enveloped in a layer of black dazzling light. Because the sun was behind them, everyone on the battlefield looked at the Iron Buddha Cavalry as if
Seeing a group of black shadows in the sun, they were like ghost cavalry emerging from hell with black flames all over their bodies, making people shudder.
The fighting on the battlefield seemed to have stopped at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the battlefield on the west side. They were all focused on the thousands of iron pagodas. Even the officers and soldiers of the Luoyan Army looked at this one with dull expressions.
Many of them have actually known about the existence of the Iron Buddha Heavy Cavalry for a long time, but this was the first time they saw it today. When they didn’t see it, they might not think it was anything special, but when they actually saw it with their own eyes,
, is another feeling. That feeling is naturally despair and fear.
Lin Jue stood on the high platform in the center of the circular formation, squinting and using his hands to block the dazzling sunlight, looking at the heavy cavalry coming slowly outside Li Xu, and he admired himself in his heart. The majestic heavy cavalry team was like steel.
The majestic appearance of the approaching torrent is indeed awe-inspiring. Possessing such a heavy cavalry should be the biggest dream of every leader.
Lin Jue naturally also thought about the dream of letting the Luoyan Army have a heavy cavalry, but the cost was too high and there was really not enough financial and material resources to get heavy cavalry. Between firearms and heavy cavalry, Lin Jue obviously
Choose the former. No matter how powerful the heavy cavalry is, it is still a cold weapon type. In fact, what Lin Jue really wants is the combination of heavy armored cavalry and firearms, which will definitely be an invincible existence. However, both of these are extremely resource-consuming.
With the Luoyan Army's financial resources, it would be very difficult for him to have just one thing. He couldn't have his cake and eat it too, so Lin Jue had to make a choice.
At first, Lin felt that he was a little frightened when he learned that the Jurchens had a heavy armored cavalry called Tiefutu. The Jurchens actually knew how to build a heavy armored cavalry that was invincible in the field. This was very visionary. Later I learned that he was a
The southerners who defected to Zhou Dynasty offered advice and helped the Jurchens build this heavy cavalry. Lin Jue could not help but be very interested in this man. However, there was not much background and information about Li Guoqiu, and Lin Jue was mainly concerned about the iron cavalry.
The battlefield performance of the Tiefutu Cavalry. In the Jurchen invasion of the south, the heavy cavalry was indeed powerful. The Northwest Army was defeated by the Tiefutu. This Tiefutu cavalry was indeed invincible in the field.
But for Lin Jue, the Iron Buddha did not make him particularly worried. Because Lin Jue had his own killer weapon. Lin Jue was secretly grateful for his wisdom. If he had insisted on working on the Shenwei General Cannon, he would have studied it.
If it were a cannonball that could explode when it landed, I might have gone astray. Fortunately, I and Huanqiu were playing in the lotus pond of Luoyan Lake that day and saw the budding lotus buds, so I was inspired to make a melon grenade. Obviously, I was inspired to make a melon grenade.
, Little Melon is the best choice to deal with these Iron Buddha Cavalry.
In today's battle, Lin Jue strictly ordered not to use any firearms other than the bastard box, and only used some battle formations and practical tactics to deal with the opponent. He even sacrificed the lives of many Luoyan soldiers, horses and infantry without using small melons to save them.
situation, the main reason is because of the iron pagoda.
As the saying goes, killing ordinary Jurchen soldiers and horses is far less heartbreaking than killing the Tiefutu heavy cavalry, because this heavy cavalry consumed Wanyan Agu's too much financial and material resources and carried all the heavy cavalry.
Yan Agu had too many expectations. Destroying the Tiefu Tu would be like stabbing Yan Agu in the chest. It would definitely cause him heartache. This would cause him more pain than annihilating his 100,000-strong army. Moreover, Lin Jue wanted to
Wanyan Aguda thought that the heavy cavalry that he thought was the most invincible was just a scumbag in front of his Luoyan Army. This would definitely severely damage Wanyan Aguda's confidence and ambition. This was also more effective than killing some Jurchen soldiers and horses.
Because of this, Lin Jue strictly prohibited the use of small melons, because he did not want Wanyan Agu to know the power of small melons and not dare to dispatch the iron pagoda cavalry. Wanyan Agu was really tolerant and did not dispatch the iron pagoda until now.
Cavalry, this caused the Luoyan Army to lose thousands of soldiers and horses in vain in the previous battle, which really made Lin Jue heartbroken. But now, the Tiefutu was finally dispatched, and Lin Jue not only had a faint smile on his face
, the time has come for the Luoyan Army’s thunderous methods to be used without reservation.
Four thousand Tiefutu cavalry were arranged in a neat square formation, and the horses walked in neat steps across the bloody battlefield full of mutilated corpses. They looked calm and impressive. They approached the Luoyan Army's circular formation one hundred and fifty steps away.
At this time, Li Guoqiu shouted loudly
After giving the order, all the Iron Buddha cavalry reached out and pulled off the fine iron masks under their helmets in unison. Then everyone became a monster with an iron face and fangs, and no part of their body was exposed.
The speed of the heavy cavalry also accelerated a lot in an instant, and the huge fine iron spear also changed from being vertical in the air to being held flat in front of the enemy. It was already a fighting posture facing the enemy. The rolling torrent quickly entered the range of the opponent's bow and arrow.
.And the bows and arrows of Luoyan Army also arrived as promised.
Buzz! Swish! Countless arrows shot through the space of a hundred steps, and the armor of the Iron Buddha cavalry made a dense clanging sound. The opponent's crossbows were like sudden bursts of summer heat.
There was a violent storm, but the iron pagoda cavalry remained motionless, unscathed and galloping through the rain of arrows. Those crossbow arrows could not hurt them at all.
"Hahaha, you must be dumbfounded." The Jurchen generals and soldiers on the battlefield shouted loudly, with excitement on their faces.
Behind the Tiefutu cavalry, Wanyan Aguda, who was following closely with a mace and leading 10,000 elite soldiers, did not have much smile on his face. Bows and arrows were nothing. What he was most worried about was whether the opponent's firearms could cause damage to Tiefutu.
Hurt. He can't be happy right now.
Charging in the rain of arrows, Tiefutu quickly reached within fifty steps of the opponent's circular formation. Even Li Guoqiu tensed his nerves. Although he concluded that shotgun shells could not break heavy armor, when the time came to see the end,
, he was still very nervous. Through the eye holes of the mask, he saw hundreds of the opponent's cavalry already lined up behind the horse-rejecting wall, holding black objects in their hands and pointing them at his team. He knew that it must be a firearm.
.
As Li Guoqiu expected, more than 600 cavalrymen equipped with bastard boxes had already gathered in front of the iron Buddha formation. The ammunition was loaded and ready for bombardment. Lin Jue actually also wanted to know whether the power of shotguns was
Penetrate the opponent's heavy armor, so he decided to give it a try. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to test the power of the bastard box. Moreover, Wanyan Aguda was a cunning person. He knew that he had firearms, but if he didn't see him
If firearms are used for bombardment, suspicion may arise. If the Iron Buddha is standing still fifty steps away, the small melon cannot exert its full power at this distance. After all, the small melon thrown by human power can only be thrown to three or four targets.
The distance is ten steps away, and those with strong arms may be able to reach fifty steps away. If he wants to let the opponent's iron pagoda cavalry taste the melon, Lin Jue needs them to rush to the front of the formation without any suspicion. Therefore, even if
In acting, the tortoise box is also an indispensable supporting role.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A continuous deafening roar sounded, like the sound of spring thunder rolling down the earth. In the rising black smoke, hundreds of firearms fired at the same time was a spectacular scene. If nothing else, it was spectacular.
, the roar and smoke alone made many Jurchen soldiers and horses terrified. Not to mention that they all knew that what was ejected from the smoke and fire were dense iron bullets that could penetrate armor and break bones and flesh.
Just thinking about it makes your scalp numb and your body weak.
Six hundred firearms were fired in the same direction at the same time, immediately forming a dense barrage as light as black mist in the air. The dense barrage that crossed the Juma Wall first gathered into a group, and then turned into an overwhelming barrage.
The large net covered the front line of the Tiefutu heavy cavalry, which was more than 200 steps wide.
The next moment, it is like countless copper beans into the pot, as if the rain falls on the lotus leaves on the lotus, the scratching sound of Ding Ding Ding is sounding. The even more amazing scene accompanied by these sounds appeared in everyone.
In front of me, countless sparks burst out from the bodies of the four to five hundred heavy armored cavalry in the two rows in front of the Iron Buddha. Every sound was accompanied by a burst of sparks. The dense sound was accompanied by countless sparks shooting out, just like the night sky.
