Chapter three hundred and fifty nine: melee
Seeing the flag of General Huo on the opposite side, Tie Nige couldn't help but feel a layer of contempt in his heart. Wang Haogu's troops themselves had good combat effectiveness, but when the Mongolian Yuan fell, their morale dropped by a notch.
Defeated again at the hands of Jian Shu and Yun Zhao, the entire army
They were all defeated and broken. It is not easy for a broken army to reintegrate. To actually use such a force to compete with the Meng Yuan cavalry, Yunzhao probably wants to use his own hands to consume these miscellaneous troops.
!Tenig’s choice was not without malicious intent.
I'm happy to help! Tienige thought happily. In the past two years, he had suffered several losses in front of the Anqing border army. It was just the right time to use this remnant of Wang Haogu to vent his anger and increase his own army's success.
morale.
"Attack and crush them!" Tie Nige issued the order easily. This was just a battle for his cavalry to practice. If Yun Zhao really wanted to fight, the one who appeared in front of him should be his third battalion or
It was the first battalion. The relaxed Tienig left the three thousand infantry attached to him on Chrysanthemum Ridge.
Now the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has also begun to pay attention to the training and equipment of infantry. Although the cavalry has strong combat effectiveness, it also consumes considerable resources. Moreover, many battlefields are not suitable for cavalry assaults, and the cost of raising an infantry is smaller than that of a cavalry.
Much more. Moreover, the coordination of infantry and cavalry is more suitable for a long-term war with the Dayue Dynasty. Under this concept, the Meng Yuan Dynasty started a war for the first time.
An infantry battalion was established on a large scale, and the person responsible for the training and recruitment of the infantry battalion was Han Zhong, who was the first to surrender to the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty. Han Zhong was an advocate of the concept of cooperative combat between infantry and cavalry. The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry were invincible.
Dai Viet came out with comparable infantry to the guards. Then, in future wars, Dai Viet would no longer be able to match the Mongolian Yuan on the frontal battlefield.
Of course, while proposing this idea, Han Zhong also mixed his own thoughts. In the Mongolian and Yuan court, no one who was familiar with infantry drills could control him. As long as the emperor agreed to this idea, then this general
The person in charge will inevitably be himself. As one of the founders of the Mongolian and Yuan infantry,
His importance in the Mongolian and Yuan court will increase infinitely. To put it bluntly, in this recruitment and training process, there is too much room for him to play. His tentacles will be able to extend to all armies.
Increasing your influence in the military will be the only way to ensure your status.
Han Zhong didn't mind that Emperor Wuda of the Meng Yuan Dynasty would see his little thoughts. Similarly, he believed that letting the emperor understand his thoughts would make him feel more confident in using him, and he would not have to directly control the military power.
However, his influence on the military is omnipresent. This is exactly what he wants.
The three thousand infantrymen in Juhualing were the first batch of soldiers trained by Han Zhong. Among them were Mongolians, but most of them were former Dayue people who occupied the area. The officers were basically Mongolians.
However, the supreme commander of the infantry was one of Han Zhong's former subordinates, a Zhenwu Colonel named She Chongwen. Of course, he had now become a general.
The Mongols do not yet have this concept of coordination between infantry and cavalry. In Dai Viet, due to too few cavalry, although some people have studied these tactics, they cannot be formally used on the battlefield. Strictly speaking, Han Zhong's entire set of concepts,
He compiled it after summarizing the experience of some military strategists before Dai Viet and adding his own exploration. He very much expected that his research results would shine on the battlefield.
But what he didn't expect was that because Tienig looked down on Huo Zhenting on the opposite side and blindly trusted the cavalry charge, he didn't even think of using infantry in this battle. In his opinion, using these infantry to guard Juhualing
The position above may be more appropriate.
Huo Zhenting knew that he had to win this battle. He, Pu Demeng, Wan Shichang and their group of old Wang Haogu generals could not afford to lose this battle. If they win this battle, they will win more than just
It's trust and respect. In fact, he also knows in his heart that although Yun
Zhao handed over the vanguard to himself, but in his heart, he had no idea how successful he could be. Otherwise, he would not have placed the third and fourth battalions behind him, ready to rush forward to replace him at any time.
, and Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion was also assigned to his command.
In fact, with Yun Zhao's current military strength, he can launch an attack on Juhua Ridge, Jishan and Baishu Slope at the same time. This will be more surprising. After all, he is still a little worried about his unit!
Huo Zhenting has this consciousness. After this battle, everything will change.
"Shichang, be careful!" He stretched out his hand, shook Wan Shichang's big hand vigorously, and nodded at him.
"Don't worry! I can't die!" Wan Shichang laughed and waved the iron rod in his hand, clamped the horse's belly and rushed towards the front of the formation. He was the first general to attack.
"We must win!" Pu De fiercely clasped his fists and bowed, and then rode away.
The sound of horse hooves shook like thunder, and the ground trembled slightly. Thousands of war horses rushed from the direction of Juhualing, and behind them, at every stone's throw, more than a thousand cavalry came in formation.
Qianxu came to ride, which may not sound like much, but those who are really immersed in the scene will find that it is a black attack that seems to occupy the entire field of vision. The tremor caused by the charging of a fast horse will never be there unless it is there.
Nor can I experience the feeling of being unable to stop it with human power.
In the face of this kind of impact, no matter who it is, they feel like they are blocking the car.
Countless generals in Dai Viet knew clearly that if they wanted to challenge the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry head-on in a field battle, they really needed the soldiers to have iron nerves.
Wan Shichang was keenly aware of the fear in the hearts of the soldiers formed around him. The tight formation showed signs of loosening, and he couldn't help but frown. He did not roar or reprimand, but instead raised his iron rod and struck a big blow.
Bu walked out from the center of the formation and walked to the front of the formation. He stood proudly at the front of all the soldiers with his legs spread apart and the iron rods on the ground.
Seeing Wan Shichang's actions, the soldiers behind couldn't help but make a commotion. The flag officer held the flag high and ran all the way behind Wan Shichang. He raised the flag high with both hands. The strong wind blew the flag suddenly.
Noisy.
"Fight the ***!" A soldier suddenly shouted, picked up his spear and ran to Wan Shichang's side. Another soldier followed.
"Fuck you!"
"Kill all these fools!" All kinds of obscene words rang out in an instant, and the formation began to loosen. The soldiers moved forward one after another, rushing to Wan Shichang's side, in front of him, behind him, and even some
While the soldiers were shouting and shouting, they took long strides and rushed to the front.
The vanguard of the Mongolian army, Bo Tu, saw the formation of the Anqing border army in the distance. It was tightly organized and there was no gap to take advantage of. He felt a little frightened. He had fought many battles with the Dai Viet army. It seemed that the cavalry had not many ways to deal with this kind of formation.
It was very difficult to penetrate. But in this instant, he discovered that the opponent's military formation began to loosen and became chaotic.
Botu was overjoyed. Sure enough, as General Tie said, the troops in front of him were not the real Anqing border troops. Under the pressure of the cavalry charge, they began to become timid.
"Speed up, speed up, rush up and crush them!" Botu, who discovered the opportunity, was willing to let go of such an opportunity. He pinched the horse's belly and rushed forward like an arrow.
Wan Shichang glanced back at his military formation. It was very chaotic and shapeless, but the fear on the soldiers' faces was gone, replaced by another emotion, anger.
There would be nothing without a military formation! As long as you are not afraid of death, you can defeat the enemy without a military formation.
He raised his iron rod high, roared, "Kill the enemy!" and rushed forward with strode.
"Kill the enemy!" Wan Shichang's three thousand infantrymen all shouted and charged forward with their spears straightened.
In the distance, Huo Zhenting's face turned grim. What was going on with Wan Shichang? How could he give up the military formation and confront the cavalry? Wasn't he seeking death? Waving the command flag, the drums beat loudly, and he hurriedly ordered Pu Demeng to rush up to respond.
The cavalry and infantry collided with each other, causing everyone to flip on their backs. The soldiers who were knocked away flew up into the air with their hands and feet staggered. The horse with its spearheads swayed and fell. The knight on the horse flew forward with the inertia. Shang
Before it even landed in mid-air, it was pierced by a spear and turned into a sieve.
Wan Shichang took a step sideways to avoid the charging horse in front of him, and swept the iron rod across, smashing the horse's head into pieces. The knight on the horse fell down, and he didn't bother to pay attention. He just jumped forward with the roar of the tiger, one after another with the stick.
He only smashes the horse's head. As for the fallen cavalry, there are soldiers to deal with it.
This was a complete chaos. Bertou's cavalry did not penetrate the opponent's formation as expected. Instead, they were swept in by the tide of people. Riding on the horse and looking around, it seemed that they were surrounded by the opponent's soldiers.
The horses' hooves stabbed the horses' bodies and smashed their heads. There were even fierce ones jumping on the cavalry's horses and wrestling with the cavalry on the horses.
Pu Demeng led his troops to rush over quickly. The chaos on the battlefield exceeded his imagination. But what surprised him was that Wan Shichang was not at a disadvantage. He looked at the opponent's second wave of cavalry that was rushing towards them in the distance.
, Pu Demeng did not rush forward rashly, but firmly established his formation. The second wave of enemy troops were not fools, and would not rush into the mess in front. They would definitely bypass the battle in front and attack directly from both wings.
Pounce over.
He placed the archers and crossbowmen in his army on both wings.
In the distance, Yun Zhao looked at the situation on the battlefield. Ma Yigong beside him said a little strangely: "General, how come they don't see them using the demon-suppressing crossbow you gave him?"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Good steel must be used on the blade. Huo Zhenting wants to use this thing to give the enemy a fatal blow at the most critical moment. If he uses it now, he will not be able to catch big fish!" (Unfinished)
