Chapter 179 This is War
Although the Three Hundred Manchu Banner cavalry stormed the Sui Army's Chinese army, the sturdy cavalry lost their sharpness like a dragon in a quagmire.In the dense forest-like formations of the Sui Army, the speed advantage of the light cavalry vanished.Once the cavalry is unable to rush, the cavalry sitting on horseback is not much different from the stabbing handle of the long-handed man who usually trains during the week.
Thaler is brave enough, and his mace is heavy enough.From rushing into the Sui army array to the battle to death, he sent at least a dozen Sui army soldiers into Yincao Difu.With his martial arts, there should have been more dazzling achievements in the upcoming battle.But ... he was so easily and simply swallowed by the Sui people's formation.
He died in arrogance, but the strength of the enemy ’s army was not the main reason for killing him.
This was the first war between the two most powerful empires in the world in more than 100 years. The Mongolian cavalry who had been in the Western world had never encountered anyone who dared to rebel against them.In other words ... The Meng Yuan people are more strange to the war than the Sui people.Wherever the Meng Yuan cavalry went, no one dared to bow his head.Although Thaler had killed many people before, it was not massacre at all.For a long time, no one dared to resist and let them develop a very arrogant character.
In their view, those Sui people who didn't even have war horses, just like those weak tribes, as long as the cavalry rushed over them, they would kneel and surrender.Thaler looked at the Sui people as if a tyrannical slave owner treated the humble and ugly slave.But there is no doubt that the Sui people are not his only slaves.
Three hundred Jingqi, failed to rush into the Sui Army ten steps.
In the distance, the Mandu wolf frowned slightly, and his face gradually became dignified.
"Without a warhorse ... Sui people can have such a fighting power."
He sighed softly, then shook his head again: "Fortunately, the brave Thaler and his three hundred cavalry used their lives to prove the tactics of the Sui army. Although he died, he still set himself Great merit. You help me remember, after going back, kill two women from North Liaodi and a horse rider to bury for Talle. "
His personal soldier responded immediately.
"The weapons used by the Sui people are very long. If our cavalry cannot fly like an eagle, once they are entangled with them, they will become unable to fight back. This is not good ..."
The Mandu wolf pondered for a while and then commanded: "Zhana, Teli, each of you with five hundred cavalry to attack the two wings of the Sui army. Remember, don't rush into the enemy's formation and bring the cavalry on their body The side swept like a wind. Then greet them with spiked arrows and let them experience the archery of our Manchu Banner Warriors! "
"Huha!"
The two men of the Mandu wolf, Zina and Teli, were led out of the array with five hundred cavalry.
Li Xiaozong looked at the enemies who died in battle, his expression was serious.
It seems that the first attack of the Mongolian cavalry was neatly resolved.Three hundred sturdy prairie rides, even the army did not rush in ten steps.But Li Xiaozong also saw another thing, making his worries more and more serious.Three hundred light rides, he was expected to be trapped to death.But ... the number of people lost by the Sui Army was no less than that of the Mengyuan people. From this point, it can be seen that the Mengyuan cavalry has a strong fighting capacity.
The trapped cavalry can still destroy almost the same number of enemies.
"Twenty steps back!"
Li Xiaozong shouted the flag and commanded loudly.
As the horn sounded, the formation of more than two thousand people quickly moved back 20 steps.In this way, those corpses left after the fight were let out, and these corpses can also play a role in blocking the enemy cavalry charge.The formation had just retreated, and the cavalry opposite Mandu Qi launched an offensive again.The two cavalry rushed over from left to right, seemingly to strike the wings of the Sui Army.
"Archer ready!"
Li Xiaozong waved the flag, and the archer who had previously retreated moved forward again.The soldiers on both wings quickly changed their formation from square to round.The shield player and the long-handed player are ready, and the moment the archer withdraws, they can quickly move forward.
These formations have been trained countless times on weekdays.As soon as the commander's flag was moved, the soldiers hardly need to think about it, and they could run the position subconsciously and complete the change.The reason why the infantry of the Sui Dynasty was able to win countless foreign wars has a lot to do with their ever-changing formation.Whether it is offensive or defensive, the Sui army has many formations available.
However, the Manduqi cavalry's second attack made the Sui people suffer.
The enemy has no intention of stepping into battle.
Thousands of cavalry soldiers swept past the wings of the formation, about forty steps away from the formation. Those Manchuqi cavalry screaming like wolves kept pouring spikes of arrows into the Sui formation while flying .Prairie cavalry bow horses are skilled, and they can easily control war horses by relying solely on their legs.Compared with the infantry bow of the Great Sui infantry, the prairie cavalry's cavalry bow is closer in range and is made of boxwood, rather than composite materials like the Great Sui infantry bow.
Although the boxwood bow looks smaller than Da Sui's step bow by at least one, it has a faster rate of fire.When the arrows are fired at the same time within the distance of seventy steps, the time when the prairie cavalry shoots three arrows, the Sui infantry who used the step bow shot at most two arrows.
The cavalry skimmed across the sides of the formation like the wind, and the Sui army outside the general formation was layered off like a knife.Dense spear-like arrows flew into the Sui army formation, and the archer of the big Sui fell down with a wail.The standing Sui people became targets, but the archers of the Sui people had difficulty catching the passing enemy riders.
Soon, the two cavalry skimmed the sides of the formation, then crossed the rear of the Great Sui formation, and washed the Sui ranks with feather arrows again.
"General!"
A personal soldier eagerly shouted to Li Xiaozong: "If you continue this way, our people will be shot down by the cavalry of the Mandu Banner before long!"
Li Xiaozong's brow furrowed and his lips were almost bitten.
On the opposite side, Mandu wolf couldn't help laughing, and all eyes were proud: "Infantry vs cavalry, as long as they don't touch ... Li Xiaozong, why do you win?"
...
...
Less than a mile from Lang Ru Mountain Canyon, Zhao Sen waved weakly and issued a military order: "Slave from the flanks, don't rescue Pan Mei! Charge towards the canyon, and in no way can the Mongolian Yuan block the canyon!"
"Hello!"
The soldiers responded loudly, then changed their formations and tried to evacuate the regiment.Pan Mei was trapped too deep, and Zhao Sen ’s strength in the Zhuangchong Battalion could not tear open the enemy ’s siege to rescue it.From the periphery, Pan Mei's team is not even visible.Under such heavy siege, Zhao Sen didn't have the slightest assurance that his 1,220 soldiers would break through the enemies layer by layer.
Seeing the Sui army in the periphery trying to withdraw, the Meng Yuan of the brigade urged the horse to separate from the team surrounding Pan Mei and chase Zhao Sen.
"I-fuck-he-mom!"
Pan Mei, who was trapped in the middle, scolded and sipped his bloody smear.He looked at the enemies rushing forward like crazy, and there was a flash of fear in his eyes.Although he was resentful when he withdrew, he still maintained the most basic quality of a general Sui.His march into the marching queue quickly rushed to the canyon, and as he was about to rush to the mouth of the canyon, he was surrounded by the Mengyuan people who came up from all sides.
That's not a soldier!
When Pan Mei saw that there were countless herdsmen around, he didn't care too much.Among those herdsmen, he even saw women and half-old children who barely reached his shoulders.Such a group of people, even if there are so many, what is terrible?
But as soon as the two sides contacted, Pan Mei knew he had made a big mistake.
Li Xiaozong reminded him before that the folk customs on the grassland were fierce.Boys dare to climb on horseback when they are four or five years old.Those women with dark skin and strong bodies are no worse than men when wielding scimitars.They screamed, and the wolves gathered around to swallow the Sui people layer by layer.
A large Sui Youwei guarded soldier in Zhechong Camp was surrounded by at least 10,000 herdsmen.And those nomads seem to have no fear of death.Although they are very tough, they are facing the well-trained Sui Youwei guards.They can shoot horses and shoot arrows, but their killing skills cannot be compared with the soldiers of Da Sui.But even so, at the cost of killing two herdsmen or even three or four people to fight a big Sui soldier, none of them was scared by blood or dead bodies.
"The enemy divided troops."
A sharp-eyed soldier shouted loudly at the discovery in front of him. He could see smoke rising behind the herdsmen's team, which was a sign of the enemy's rear team leaving.
"There are reinforcements to save us!"
Pan Mei's eyes lit up, and then pointed at that direction with his long hair: "Front lineup, kill it!"
The remaining five or six hundred Sui army soldiers, using Pan Mei as an arrow, were killed towards the slightly weaker siege formation.Pan Mei now regrets that he has not listened to Li Xiaozong's words, and has not been able to obtain all the knowledge of the enemy without going through a real war.
Li Xiaozong said that the herdsmen were soldiers when they took the scimitar.But Pan Mei didn't care at the time. In his view, the people were the people, and the knife they gave them was the most gangster.
But now he understands that when a country is invaded by the enemy's army, the people often can explode with the same fighting power as the army, even crazier.
He can't remember how many people died from his stabbing, including old people, women, and half-old children.But he didn't have a little bit of tolerance in his heart, because this was the battlefield, and all the enemies were opposite.If you have a soft hand because the other person is a child, then that child will cut the machete into your throat without hesitation.
Why hasn't it merged with outsiders yet?
Pan Mei stabbed to death a Mongolian woman with blood on her face. The woman had a bucket-like waist and an ugly face.When she fell, the expression on her face was particularly fierce.Pan Mei saw hatred in her eyes, which made his heart tighten.
If the rescuers outside are fighting, why haven't they seen their battle flag?
Pan Mei had doubts in her mind, but quickly found the answer.
Yes ... the people outside are not here to save themselves, their goal is to guard the Qingxia, relatively speaking, their lives seem insignificant.
I can only rely on myself.
Pan Mei took a deep breath, and poked the oncoming herdsman off the horse.But just as he drove towards the premise, his horse was cut off by the two herdsmen.The horse lost his center of gravity and threw forward, and Pan Mei was thrown out.The long chap in his hand flew out, unreachable.
A herdsman saw the enemy general drop the horse and roared and jumped from the horse's back.Holding the scimitar in both hands, he pierced fiercely into Pan Mei's chest.
"Go away"
Pan Mei kicked the herdsman out with one foot, and then tried to pull out the horizontal knife under him.But the horizontal knife was too long to lie on the ground.At this time, a nomad who had passed a horse leaned over and cut Pan Mei's shoulder just sitting up.
Blood splattered out, and inertia threw Pan Mei's belt forward.
The herdsman jumped off the horse and waved a scimitar towards Pan Mei.Pan Mei climbed up with pain, pulled out the horizontal knife, stabbed it into the herdsman's abdomen, and kicked it away with another foot: "Vicious barbarian, go!"
He scolded, but his back was cut open by the enemy.He fell again and was immediately suppressed by the rushing herders.One, two, three ... Five or six herders squeezed Pan Mei underneath.Countless fists smashed, and the knife stabbed into it again and again.
"Go away ... you guys ... slow ... barbarians!"
The intermittent shouts came from below, and at last it was faint and hard to hear.
When the herdsmen stood up, the dead enemy in front of them was beyond recognition.Under the armor, the thick blood ran out of the gap between the armor.
The herdsmen froze for a moment, then threw up again, frantically pulling down the armor on the dead body.
No one looked at the pair of dead eyes, and no one ignored the unwilling expression.
