Even if you are born to kill embryos, you still have to blink and shudder when you see blood for the first time.
After all, Xiao Shilue was still a general's disciple, so his legs wouldn't tremble, but it was normal for him to swallow and spit. When he heard Li Jing ask him, he straightened his back immediately: "I'm not afraid!"
The guards around him all smiled.
We all know how we felt when we went to the battlefield for the first time.
Don't be afraid, that's just showing off.
Li Jing smiled and looked up ahead.
Li Xingchen did not let them follow him this time. Even all the imperial guards with swords followed him onto the battlefield. As part of the Imperial Guard, they were directly arranged by Li Ping on the north side of the main formation to fight the enemy one step ahead.
The more than 10,000 people who arrived were outflanking the cavalry on the north side.
In fact, Li Jing himself was a little nervous.
Even the commander-in-chief Li Ping's mentality was not calm.
For those of them, the so-called "Qianniu Guards", who are almost never rotated with the rest of the Imperial Guards around Li Xinchen, they have not had the opportunity to go to the battlefield in recent years, whether it is Li Ping or Li Jing.
, naturally there is no chance to lead the army alone.
Especially Li Ping, as the general, although he is the general of the Imperial Guard, in terms of actual experience, he is not even as good as Chun Yucen and Lu Shixiong, who are his left and right deputies, so he does not compete with the two of them.
He personally led the army to cover the flanks of the army, and left the main force to the two of them to confront the enemy head-on.
The drums sounded intensively again.
Although he had never led an army on the battlefield, Li Jing had already thought about what to do many times.
"Han army, fight!" Li Jing yelled, his voice still a little immature, but no one would disobey it because the soldiers of the Imperial Guard had been waiting for this order for too long.
Almost at the same time, the other generals, commanders and generals also issued such orders. All the soldiers clenched their swords and looked at the enemy with murderous intent in their eyes.
The rumbling sound of artillery in front has dissipated, the smoke and dust are blown by the wind, and the battlefield ahead suddenly appears in the field of vision.
In order to avoid the artillery fire, the Northern Zhou cavalry had already moved to the right. According to the traditional tactics of the Xianbei cavalry, they should have outflanked and advanced from both wings at the same time, forming a cross attack on the enemy's formation. However, the number of the Northern Zhou cavalry was only four to five thousand.
Therefore, facing tens of thousands of Han troops, it is obviously unrealistic to outflank them from both sides. The Han troops have a large number of arrows and muskets. For the scattered Northern Zhou cavalry, the Han troops can calmly use arrows and bullets to kill them.
It was submerged, so the Northern Zhou cavalry still chose to advance in a roundabout way.
Of course, this also shows that facing the Han army's military formation, the Zhou people have become less and less confident. In the past, the Zhou people's cavalry would have even dared to rush in from three sides, because they knew that when their horses' hooves stepped down,
The enemy is already frightened.
Even though it was a roundabout way, the Zhou people arrived at a slow pace, and at this time they were only six or seven hundred steps away from the Han army's formation.
The Han cavalry did not wait for their own crossbowmen and musketeers to fire at so many enemies. It was very dangerous to suddenly put their crossbows and muskets within the range of two or three hundred steps away from the battle. They directly left the left wing of the army formation and faced the Northern Zhou cavalry.
direction to shoot out.
The sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded in the charging queue. After all, the firecrackers carried by the Han cavalry had a range advantage over the crossbows of the Northern Zhou cavalry, especially when a large number of soldiers and horses from both sides faced each other for a large-scale charge.
There is no need to aim at all, as long as you release as many bullets and arrows as possible, you will definitely be able to harvest more lives.
The Northern Zhou cavalry kept falling, but the people behind were still working hard to push their horses forward, and tried their best to use their riding and archery skills to send arrows to the enemy. But unfortunately, purely in terms of technology, these Han people were
Obviously, the Lord's Northern Zhou cavalry could not shoot arrows calmly while galloping like the Xianbei cavalry, and could even follow the Lord's orders to send dense arrows into the enemy's formation neatly and uniformly.
The arrows fired by these Northern Zhou cavalry were scattered, and many of them were not even used with all their strength. When the arrows reached the Han army's formation, they simply floated over, and the Han army cavalry could even grab them with their hands.
Catch the arrow that is about to hit the ground.
Of course, there were also a few who penetrated directly into the chests of the oncoming Han cavalry, but these were only a few after all.
"The Yulin Cavalry, charge forward!"
This group of cavalry has a total of about 3,000 people, which is smaller than the Zhou cavalry. The main component of this group is the Yulin Cavalry.
The Yulin Cavalry, the "special forces" of this era that Li Xingchen personally formed, are the best among the elites of the Han Dynasty. Of course, as the scale of the Yulin Cavalry expands, the mission Li Xingchen gives to this army no longer
It was just an unexpected "special operation". As its name suggests, the Yulin Cavalry expanded the cavalry force and equipped it with the most sophisticated equipment of the Han Dynasty. It existed as a whetstone for the Han armies and was also a sharp blade in Li Xinchen's hand.
If the previous Yulin Cavalry could only be used as hidden arrows in Li Xingchen's hands because of their small number, then the Yulin Cavalry with the expanded cavalry part can not only be used as hidden arrows, but also can be used as open spears. Of course, Li Xingchen will not waste it until it is used.
The special warriors act as cavalry to hedge against the enemy's large formations. These Yulin Cavalry are separate from the Yulin Cavalry that performs operations behind enemy lines. They belong to different formations of the Yulin Cavalry and will not be swapped in ordinary times.
Now, Yu Linqi's combat teams behind enemy lines had actually gone north with the cooperation of Baipao as early as the beginning of the war. Only these front-line combat teams remained in the establishment of the Imperial Guard. Of course, the establishment belonged to the establishment, without Li Xinchen's order.
, no one can command this His Majesty's personal "sword".
"Throw the spear!" Cheng Feng yelled.
The galloping cavalry took out the spears on their backs and threw them fiercely at the enemy.
The Northern Zhou cavalry in front obviously did not expect that the Han army had such skills. The Northern Zhou cavalry, who had originally thought that they would fight against each other next, were gathering in the middle. The spears were thrown at their heads and faces, and they were immediately confused.
The distance between the two sides was already very close, and the force of the spear thrown was even more powerful.
Just like the iron arrow fired from the crossbow, after the spear pierces a person, it will not stop at all, but will directly hit the person behind with this person!
The cavalry formation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty suddenly became chaotic. Many cavalrymen turned their horses hurriedly to avoid the fallen Paoze in front. However, turning their horses' heads when the cavalry concentrated on charging forward was a taboo for military strategists. It is very possible
It will cause your own array to be completely confused.
After all, the things that each Han cavalry can carry are limited. Especially the Yulin cavalry itself is not built according to the heavy armor cavalry, so it is impossible to hang everything on the body. After all, the weight has to be calculated.
