Chapter 112: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
Among the more than ten commanders and deputy commanders of the six infantry battalions in Tianshu City (including the logistics and logistics battalion and the newly established garrison battalion), Zhang Li is one of the most personal experiences of the Jin army's tactics of kidnapped horses.
On that day, when Zhang Li and Chen Gui led two thousand towns to the north to serve the king, they encountered a large group of Jin soldiers outside the city of Weishi. In less than half an hour, the two thousand kings were completely defeated by the Jin soldiers and the entire army was completely destroyed.
The tactic used by soldiers is to use two-winged crutches.
This tragic failure was the most shameful page in Zhang Li's twenty-seven-year career.
Zhang Li was captured after failure, but it does not mean that his command ability and combat quality are not good. In fact, in the history of another time and space, Zhang Li's record in bandit suppression was quite outstanding. Zhang Li's failure was the most important
The reason is that most of his two thousand township heroes were formed by volunteers who had not undergone any basic training and rushed to help the royal army. With such a "boy scout" that was more fragile than the newly hatched eggs, they were in harmony with their own affairs.
The Jin army, who had been fighting for hundreds of battles and killed people, can be imagined with his heels.
In history, only strong soldiers can make famous generals. Soldiers are a group of soft-legged shrimps, and it is useless to be fierce in the main general. War is not a performance of one or two fierce people, but a manifestation of group strength.
Can a lion defeat the wolves with a group of sheep? The answer is impossible! At least, a lion must bring a group of goats to defeat the wolves - because the goat has bent horns and has a certain aggression, and the sheep's screws
The same angle...
After several months, when Zhang Li faced the Jin soldiers again, the kidnapped horse that had caused countless Song soldiers to lose their courage, his mood had already undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. Now he is full of confidence.
Whether it can avenge the past will depend on the present day!
Zhang Li shook the flag again, which was a green flag, and the flag was clicked down once. The green flag represents the crossbowman team, and the one-pointing means only one round to launch. With the previous lesson, coupled with the Golden Cavalry's sprint ratio
The new affiliated army was faster and more fierce. Therefore, Zhang Li did not dare to be careless and only asked the crossbowmen to fire a round of arrows and immediately withdraw from the formation.
Swish! Swish!
First, there was a round of divine arm bows, and then to the two rows of flat crossbowmen's continuous shooting. Within just ten breaths, one hundred chisel arrows and two hundred triangular heavy arrows were like a frightened and furious hornets.
The scream of death penetrated into the flesh and blood of man and horse...
In just one terrifying rain of arrows, one-third of the lives of nearly fifty Jin soldiers were taken away. The powerful strike of long-range crossbow arrows is worthy of being the nemesis of the cavalry.
Unfortunately, it can only end here. The Jin cavalry has rushed within a hundred steps, and at the same time it has begun to shoot bows and arrows...
At this time, the crossbowman had no time to shoot, so he had to retreat quickly, but the archer could still shoot in the previous round. However, Zhang Li did not issue such a combat command. Because while the archer shot and killed the enemy cavalry, he was also in the process of being in the middle of the archer.
Within the range of enemy arrows, this kind of thing that can be easily killed by killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred of them is something that any qualified commander should try to avoid.
Eighty steps... The Jin soldiers raised their bows together, pointing to the large formation of the new army in Tianshu City.
Seventy steps... The Jin soldiers' cavalry bows were as full as the moon, and the next moment, they were about to be launched...
At this moment, Zhang Li's finger fell, and the trumpeter behind him cast a red flag with a ball of flame embroidered on it.
The red flag represents the musket team. The fifty musket soldiers who had already put up the ammunition and set the shooting ruler, with the command of the team, extended the muzzle from the dense side shield array and pulled the plate machine together.
.
A cluster of dazzling flames erupted one after another, and the smoke filled the gunpowder, and the projectiles were as numb as hemp.
Seventy steps, approaching the limit of the musket's aim, but that's for infantry. Now the shooting target is a cavalry that is twice as big as a person's body, and the hit rate is naturally increased.
More than 20 Jin soldiers threw their bows and fell, some of which were shot by horses, and they rolled on the ground with people and horses, causing dust to fly, mud and blood to splatter, and the sound was very terrifying. Due to the frightened gunshots and fire,
Especially the amplification of the echo in the canyon caused many of the Jin soldiers to be frightened, forcing some of the Jin soldiers to give up firing and drive away the frightened horses with all their might.
Fifty steps... This is the regular range of the Jin soldiers' five-dou cavalry bows. At this distance, the Jin soldiers can play the greatest advantage of the crooked horse, galloping back and forth, constantly shooting arrows, killing, weakening, eroding, and shaking little by little
The enemy. Like wolves on the grassland, they surrounded but did not attack, and they bite hard from time to time and bleed little by little. In the end, the prey was exhausted, lost its fighting spirit, and killed them...
At such a close distance, it is impossible for the crossbowman to shoot against the rider. The reason is very simple - others are moving targets, and they are extremely fast; while you are fixed targets, or you are still standing still
That kind of... After playing like this for a few rounds, who will die faster? What's more, there are several armies in this world that can persist in shooting against the enemy without any protection and being unable to dodge?
Diesel was in the front, and he was lucky to be shot and arrowed. However, looking around, he felt sad inside: more than 150 fast riders charged, and when it was his turn to take action, only half were left.
Although he was heartbroken and sad, Diesu was an old army after all, and he could quickly adjust his mentality. Moreover, this was a battlefield. The battlefield only believed in blood, not tears!
"The warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom, shoot your arrows of revenge!"
He howled hoarsely and let go of the bowstrings. With this as the beginning, more than fifty sharp arrows in front of him and behind him flew away, and rushed towards the musketeers fiercely... Yes, only five
More than ten Jin soldiers could shoot arrows in their hands, and more than twenty cavalry were competing with the frightened war horse under their crotch...
If the crossbow team standing in front of the formation at this time, there would undoubtedly be heavy casualties. However, the musket team was completely different. This difference is reflected in the different shooting methods of the two weapons.
Crossbowmen, especially archers, must open and close, and draw a bow and shoot for a long time. Under such a big move of stretching and closing, it is impossible to use side cards to protect them. As we all know, crossbowmen's armor has always been
It is mainly light and convenient, or half-body armor. How can such armor block the strong shooting at a strong bow from a close range?
Where is the musketeers? They almost don’t need any space. As long as they can stand down, they can get on bullets and fire guns. Now the musketeers of the Fourth Infantry Battalion are hiding the layers of heavy armored infantry in the first and second rows
In the stacked side-card shield array, only the barrel is placed on the sharp-bottom trapezoidal groove. After pulling the plate machine, the barrel is retracted and the soldiers hide in this temporary and simple "fortress"
"Within the time, continue to load the medicine and ammunition, and prepare for the next launch...
With such strict protection, you can imagine what the result will be if the arrow shoots up.
First of all, I have to praise the Jin soldiers! They shot very accurately - more than fifty times, at least forty pieces were inserted on the side cards; and they were very strong, and the hard cowhide layer of the side cards was shot.
After all, it is only blocked by the inner bamboo and wood layer. If the Jin soldiers use hard bows of more than eight dou, they can definitely use the side cards to kill the enemy after layers of protection.
The Jin soldiers and cavalry rushed forward and came in full force. After being hit by attacks, they finally showed their fangs - but this first round of attacks had little results and was frustrating. It was comparable to the achievements made by the new army in Tianshu City.
It is simply a sky and an underground. The only highlight is that it holds a hard bow and penetrates a side card, shooting a musketman's shoulder blade, causing him to lose his combat ability.
"Roar! Rush! Rush, we have no time, we will fight for a bloody road! I am invincible, life and death! Kill!" Disu turned the tactic of the crutch horse into a real cavalry rushing formation.
Using light cavalry to rush into heavy armored soldiers is a helpless choice.
As Diesu said, they had no time - they could even hear the heavy and neat steps coming from afar. Just a few dozen metal tubes are so terrible. If the main force of the enemy behind them is pressing up
There are hundreds of metal tubes...
Diesu didn't know that if he collided head-on, the best consequence was that both sides suffered losses, and it was almost impossible to break through a bloody road. However, he had a trace of luck in his heart - the enemy on the opposite side was a new army after all
.They are good because they have powerful equipment, but they may not have the courage to fight against the equipment; under their hard shells, they may be fragile souls. Just like the original owners of those equipment - those Song soldiers
Same……
Since there is no choice, Diesu can only gamble! Bet on his own life and the ultimate fate of his cavalry. I hope that the God of Canglang can bless its people as always...
"It's finally my turn to speak." He Yuanqing slashed the saber in his hand, and a ferocious look appeared on his face. He and Zhang Li each performed their duties, and Zhang Li commanded the two battalions of long-range attack troops, while He Yuanqing and Shi
Zhihe commanded the heavy armored swords and axe soldiers of the third and fourth infantry battalions respectively. He had always watched the long-range attack troops show his power, but now he finally had the opportunity to show the heavy armored swords and axe soldiers.
He Yuanqing had turned back to the back of the formation at this time. This batch of rushing cavalry was different from the three-legged cats in front of him who couldn't even sit steadily on the back of the horse. He wouldn't be stupid, just stand in front of the formation with his own strength.
To endure the baptism of the Jin soldiers' arrow rain and collide with the flying cavalry. Speaking of which, during the special training of the teaching camp, the chief instructor gave them more than once a few people who could run horses on their arms. The commander of the first battalion was
At the rear, the commander's duty is to find ways to win a battle, not just to be satisfied with gaining several heads with his own hands.
A general has the glory of a general, and a soldier has the glory of a soldier. As a commander, there is no need to work part-time, and do all the work of a general and a soldier.
Thirty steps...
With a long sword, the bannerman behind him immediately beat the black red flag and shook it desperately.
