Chapter 1032
Cao Xueyang's Guards Battalion is the most elite troops in the Longwu Army. The soldiers are equally divided between men and women. All of them are good at riding and shooting, and are proficient in marksmanship. They are soldiers and horses trained by Cao Xueyang according to the original standards of Tiance Army's Youlongqi.
Although they are called Guards, they are actually the strongest cavalry in the Longwu Army. They can fire arrows with ten powerful arrows, shoot from left and right, and shoot from Pegasus. Its combat power is comparable to that of the Tiance Army's cavalry.
To use it to rush forward and take advantage of the victory to break the formation is nothing short of aspiration.
"Okay!" Cao Xueyang said without the slightest hesitation, "I will transfer you 5,000 elite troops from the Guards Battalion and give you 7,000 cavalry, making a total of 12,000 cavalry."
Mrs. Yang Si was also very high-spirited, "I will bring the enemy's heads to see you!"
The chief governor of the Longwu Army was famous for beheading generals. In the Battle of Cangyunguan, Khan Kuochu of the Wo Kuotai Khanate was beheaded. In the Battle of the Northern Territory, Antu Timur, the Seventh Prince of Beigan, was beheaded. In the Battle of Jinyang, he was beheaded. Nurhachi, Prince of the Later Jinqing Dynasty.
Because of this, the most important achievement in the Longwu Army is to kill generals!
In the previous battle, Mrs. Yang fought against the fierce general Zhu Shihong of King Zhao's army. This man was a powerful general in King Zhao's rebel army and could be called King Zhao's right-hand man.
He and Zhang Shimei were both talented in literature and martial arts.
The fourth lady Yang killed Zhu Shihong, which greatly boosted the morale of King Zhao's rebels.
But in the battle just now, Cao Xueyang did not take advantage of Zhu Shihong's death.
This is a trump card that Cao Xueyang hid in order to use it at critical moments. Zhu Shihong's head and his big ax are the best symbols of his identity.
When the battle between Long Wu's army and King Zhao's army reaches a critical stage, showing Zhu Shihong's head and big ax will definitely have unexpected effects.
…
"Woo~~~" As the horn sounded, the brief silence on the battlefield was broken again.
Zhao Wangjun launched another attack.
"put!"
A hail of arrows flew from King Zhao's army and fell towards Long Wu's army, accompanied by huge rocks thrown by dozens of catapults.
This boulder looks very powerful, but in fact it is not satisfactory.
Only three of the twenty-five stone bullets hit the Long Wu Army's formation, and the others fell between the Long Wu Army and King Zhao's Army, without causing any damage.
Siege is really a technical job, and making siege equipment is even more technical.
The predecessor of King Zhao's army was the Youzhou garrison, which was specifically responsible for fighting Houjin. They were good at shooting and killing people, but they were not proficient in the technical work of siege.
What's more, Hou Jin didn't have any strong cities to conquer.
After two generations of restructuring by Kublai Khan and Yelu Chucai, Beigan learned the culture of the Central Plains and began to build cities and fortresses.
Later, Jin Dynasty was still in its initial stage, and it was still dominated by nomadic tribes. Apart from its capital Shengjing, there was no decent big city.
In this case, the general will naturally not distribute corresponding siege equipment to King Zhao's army.
The siege equipment in King Zhao's army was all made by themselves. Compared with the catapults in Longwu's army, which were specially designed for attack, the difference is the difference between flint cannons (early artillery) and rifled cannons. .
Long Wujun's tactics were very simple. After reading it once, Zhang Shimei wanted to use his methods to retaliate.
It's a pity that the Longwu Army's tactics require the support of equipment.
Facing the sudden and changing offensive of King Zhao's army, there was no confusion among Longwu's army. Under the command of the school lieutenant, they immediately launched a counterattack.
The arrows and flying stones of King Zhao's army caused about 200 casualties of Longwu's army, but what followed was an extremely sharp attack by Longwu's army.
Thunderbolt Flying Stone Chariot, as the name suggests, naturally comes with the word "Thunderbolt".
The stone bullets are specially made, with a large amount of fuel attached to the surface, and can be easily ignited. And because of their special material, they will explode after landing. The flying gravel is enough to cause huge damage to the enemy.
Just one round of thunderbolt and flying stone chariot attacks caused more than a thousand casualties to King Zhao's rebels.
This is not over yet, as soon as the flying rocks hit the ground, the arrow rain from Long Wujun arrived again!
This wave of counterattack allowed Zhao Wangjun's morale to be boosted with great difficulty, and it was released again.
There is nothing more uncomfortable than equipment generation difference. If there is, it is an even bigger equipment generation difference.
Not only were the Longwu Army's arrows denser than those of King Zhao's Army, they were also more capable of breaking armor. In one round, thousands of people were injured.
"This kind of terrible battle really can't be fought!" A team member of King Zhao's army slammed the saber at home on the ground.
"His grandma, these little turtles from the Confederate Army know how to shoot arrows. Do they dare to fight your grandpa with real swords and guns?!"
The captain on the side also looked livid. If we fight in this way, let alone an army of 300,000, even an army of 500,000 may not be able to win.
These lower-level officers could see that the war situation was unfavorable, and of course the generals above could see clearly that these were the warriors who followed King Zhao and fought out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the north.
Everyone knew that the head-on confrontation with Long Wujun was just a feint attack, just to attract Long Wujun's attention. Create conditions for the breakthrough of Zhang Wenbi and Tan Yuan on the left.
"Damn it! This battle is too frustrating!" A fierce captain immediately asked for orders, "General! Give me three hundred warriors who dare to fight. I will take my brothers and take advantage of the opportunity for Longwu Army to reload arrows. , charge forward! As long as we can break through to their formation, we can get in!"
No one can bear a battle where you can only take a beating but cannot fight back!
"Okay! I will give you eight hundred warriors and eight hundred pieces of armor!"
"No need! General!" the captain said immediately, "The arrows of the Longwu Army may seem round and blunt, but in fact they are unparalleled in breaking armor, and the iron armor is difficult to withstand. These armors are actually a burden. I took my brothers with large shields, Move forward lightly!”
I have to say that this captain is a sensible person. After several rounds of arrow rain, he has clearly seen that the falling arrows of the Longwu Army can even break through chain armor and chain mail, and only plate armor can withstand it. Wearing armor and going into battle can only slow down the speed of your assault. It is not as good as going into battle in civilian clothes, which is lighter and more agile.
"Okay! Then I'll give you eight hundred shields!"
"Thank you, General!"
Although the general of the forward battalion seemed very pleased, he actually had no confidence in this subordinate.
It's just that the captain's bravery is worthy of encouragement. Furthermore, even if he fails to break through the enemy's formation, he can still cause all kinds of trouble for the enemy on the front.
The longer the Long Wu Army focused on the front, the more confident Zhang Wenbi and Tan Yuan would be in breaking through the Long Wu Army's formation with their side attack.
"kill!"
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, this school captain, shirtless and armed with a steel sword and a large shield, charged towards the front line of the Longwu Army!
And behind him, there was also the reflection of a bright steel knife.
There are brave and brave men, no matter what camp they belong to.
"kill!"
