Yunnan's terrain is full of mountains and forests, and there are few flat terrains like the Hexi Dao Plain. Wynn dismounted his horse and bent down to grab a handful of dirt, and found that it was mixed with fine sand.
"This must have been a riverbed before." The red crows in the marching team also stopped and looked around.
Wynn threw away the sand in his hand and said, "The terrain here is flat. It seems that we won't encounter any ambush?"
"It's hard to say~~ I'm afraid of being plotted by these guys." Wu Chengjiao also rode up and came forward: "How many times have we been ambushed since we set off from Liangdu Town? Who can count?"
"We encountered a total of twelve ambushes, each time on the dangerous pass, and we lost more than 2,000 people in total. This does not include the time someone threw huge rocks at us on the mountains in the Grand Canyon yesterday." Ms. Liu
Counting on her fingers, her hands were also decorated.
Wynn was stunned for a while and didn't speak. Everyone knew that he felt very uncomfortable. These hard-trained soldiers all died under the attack of hidden arrows, falling rocks, and iron square rolls. Almost none of them were fighting face-to-face with the enemy.
Those who died bravely in battle, Wynn felt that their death was not worth it. But the pass was difficult to pass, and someone had to die when it was time to sacrifice, which made him feel helpless. Yesterday, he braved the falling boulders from the top of the mountain to perform Qing Kung Fu.
He climbed up the mountain and smashed the enemy soldiers who plotted against them into powder, but this did not make him feel better. He felt melancholy on the top of the mountain with corpses everywhere.
If only I could change the direction of the war. He suddenly had this idea. He thought of the unfathomable and god-like Li Qiu Shui in Tianya Hai Pavilion. If I had her strength~~~
"Sir, there must be a large number of enemy troops ahead!" Xiang Fei interrupted his thoughts and abruptly brought him back to the cold reality.
Wynn saw that the water on the surface of a small puddle on the roadside was trembling slightly. It seemed that a large number of cavalry were coming! And they were definitely not his own! His own cavalry had long stopped and rested on the roadside.
He suddenly became anxious: The enemy has a large number of cavalry, and this place is dangerous to defend. Can his infantry hold up? The number of cavalry is too small for the enemy to fight head-on. Whose troops should we let take the lead? It seems that there will be a battle today.
A bloody battle!
The sound of horse hooves that shook the earth was getting closer and closer! Wynn ordered the sword army and infantry in the front, Huo Tong soldiers in the rear, Wu Chengjiao and Xiang Fei's cavalry were arranged on the left wing, and their base camp
He took the baggage and put it on the right wing.
Because Wynn, who often dealt with horse thieves in the desert, knew that when large groups of cavalry attack infantry, they usually attack on the left wing, because most people are accustomed to using their right hands. Attacking from the left wing can make the person being attacked use a very awkward posture to face the enemy.
, making the already disadvantaged infantry even more passive.
He looked back at his army, thinking that maybe half of them would feel very uncomfortable after this battle. He urged himself to think of better tactics against the enemy, but he didn't know that the boy who couldn't calm down set off a fire system and a gun.
The sound suddenly woke up Wynn.
"Dayong! Bring all my big guns over here!!" Wynn decided to make a bold attempt. He ordered all the fire commanders under his command to stand in the front line! Then he sent the three thousand forbidden troops to catch up with them as quickly as possible.
He dug small holes in the sand. Seeing the enemy troops approaching gradually, he raised the flag and all the imperial troops in front of him ran back as hard as they could!
Wynn personally held a torch and stood in front of the newly produced large weapon "Longwei Cannon". He felt his heart beating fast. Can this thing be used against cavalry? He didn't know.
This kind of Dragon Power Cannon was modified by Wynn based on the Fire Dragon Ball, and its power is several times greater than before! However, firearms are generally used for sieges and large fixed targets. High-speed targets like cavalry, Wynn feels
He could only try his luck, not knowing how effective it would be. He decided that even if the firearms method severely damaged the enemy, the fire commander in front would use the fire commander to kill as many enemy troops as possible, and then send the cavalry to fight with the enemy.
, thus losing the impact. At this time, the infantry and the Sword Army insert themselves from behind~~~This should be a tactic that can minimize casualties.
But he still felt very uneasy. After all, this was the first time he used this thing!
It was Shi Yuan's ace elite cavalry who came.
This elite cavalry are all ruthless warriors who have been rigorously trained. Each of them is equipped with three weapons: hunting crossbow, saber and spear. The horses they ride are all well-bred Dawan horses purchased from the Western Regions at high prices. This kind of horse
It has a thin head and tall neck, slender limbs, thin skin, light steps, great strength, fast speed, and strong endurance. It is suitable for long-distance marches. In the past, the Mongolian cavalry, which was the most powerful enemy in the world, rode this kind of horse across the Eurasian continent.
The leader of the army, Bai Lang, had already seen the enemy's vanguard. After some thought, he ordered a thousand cavalry to stay on standby, while the remaining nine thousand or so cavalry rushed toward Wynn's front line with billowing dust and smoke!
They could already see clearly that the front line of the enemy army on the opposite side was actually the Huo Tong soldiers! Xiao Ao, the vanguard deputy general under Bai Lang, almost laughed when he saw it: Isn't this looking for a cut?
With a sudden smile, he suddenly stumbled and was thrown out! The cavalry horses in the front row also fell down with broken legs! The fallen cavalry was instantly trampled into meat patties by the companions behind him! Xiao Ao was lucky enough to escape.
After passing the horse's hoof, before he could stand up, he heard a burst of gunshots like fried beans coming from the enemy formation on the opposite side. Seeing that the enemy cavalry had entered the shooting range, Wynn's fire commanders still formed three rows and took turns to shoot.
, the firepower continued to shoot at the cavalry in the front row, and cavalry kept falling down. Originally, the fire commander's hit rate when shooting the galloping cavalry would not be too high, but the White Wolf's cavalry were so crowded that there was almost no gap.
, so that if you just fire a gun into the crowd, you will hit it. In addition, the horse pits just made the cavalry subconsciously slow down a little. No one wants to fall off the horse and be trampled to death by their own people before the fight begins. Hope.
Facing Wynn's front line that was getting closer and closer, White Wolf's elite cavalry had already lowered the tips of their spears, preparing to scatter them all at once!
At this moment, he only heard a few loud noises! White Wolf suddenly saw a terrifying scene: dozens of cavalry around him suddenly flew into the air! The cavalry around the explosion site were also affected by the impact and staggered around, unable to stop behind them.
The cavalrymen in the rear group who were staying in the car were hit so hard that they fell off their horses!
Bai Lang was stunned for a moment: What kind of magic is this? What kind of firearm has such great power?
The three "Dragon Power Cannons" were fired at the same time, hitting the densest enemy group at once, causing the enemy's cavalry to trample on each other, causing casualties.
The most important thing is that the fire system and the Longwei Cannon caused the enemy's cavalry formation, which was charging with all its strength and having a huge impact, to be blocked and slowed down. White Wolf's reaction was not slow, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to disperse and charge!
Wynn seized the opportunity and waved his flag! The four thousand cavalry on the left wing rushed over! They clashed head-on with White Wolf's cavalry!
I saw that many of the cavalrymen rushing in the front row were knocked off their horses by the opponent's spears, and some were directly thrown into a crowd. For a time, the cavalrymen on both sides had their claws broken and their wings broken! Wynn understood that this is the cruelty of war.
, you can use all your tricks to reduce the damage in this kind of battle, but you will definitely not be unscathed. Even the bravest soldiers may be killed by the enemy who ambushed from behind or hidden arrows, no matter how brave they are and how superb their riding skills are.
The cavalry may also be picked off by random guns in a confrontation with a large number of enemies.
Soon the cavalry of both sides were in a stalemate. White Wolf's elite cavalry abandoned their spears and replaced them with sabers. Xiang Fei's Huo Tong cavalry did not forget to wait for opportunities to use their Huo Tong to plot against the opponent in the chaos.
Seeing that the time was right, Huai Enling waved his flag and charged the whole army! Even the fire commanding soldiers drew their single swords and charged forward, because the cavalry of the enemy and ours were already fighting in a mass and they could not tell the difference.
In this way, White Wolf suffered a big loss. The cavalry that lost its charging power could no longer be considered cavalry and was not much better than the infantry. And on his side, he injured nearly 3,000 people after several rounds of artillery bombardment and fire attacks!
Wynn's cavalry was only slightly damaged, and the total number was almost 4:1. Is this a fight?
He ordered the flag bearer to wave the flag, and a thousand cavalry from the rear followed the order and surrounded him from the flanks!
Wynn screamed inwardly when he saw the outflanking cavalry! The most feared situation for the fighting troops is to be outflanked. This will shake the morale of the soldiers who are concentrating on the battle and lead to the collapse of the entire army! The worst thing is that he has already
When you give an order to the center of the entire army, your own soldiers are already fighting with the enemy. If you give an order again, even if the soldiers hear it, they may not be able to get out.
He suddenly rushed over with his hundreds of armored cavalry! He was determined to intercept this enemy force and ensure that the large force could annihilate the enemy's main force! Red Crow and Fei Man in the rebel army were shocked when they saw this.
He quickly followed him on horseback!
Wynn's was much faster than the others, and he rushed to the front.
He suddenly jumped up on the horse! The black ice thorns that had already formed in his hands shot towards the enemy with great force!
In an instant, dozens of enemy elite cavalry fell from their horses, and their armor was pierced by black ice thorns!
But in front of thousands of enemy troops, this casualty was nothing at all. After landing, Wynn put his hands together, and saw that his whole body was shrouded in blue light, and a huge black ice shield quickly formed in front of him! He moved up
The black ice shield continued to condense and expand with all his strength, and dozens of cavalrymen who rushed over hit the ice shield and fell off their horses! Seeing this, the enemy cavalry in the rear were so frightened that they reined in their horses and stopped to watch.
Wynn suddenly shouted loudly! The power of the Netherworld Ghost Claw spurted out, shaking the black ice shield and smashing the broken ice into the enemy! In an instant, many enemy soldiers were knocked down, and some of them were knocked down together with their men and horses.
At this moment, Wynn's personal bodyguards, the armored cavalry, came and fought with them. Red Crow and Fei Man also rushed into the enemy's formation. Red Crow had a thin-edged dagger designed to cut the enemy's throat and joints. He jumped off his horse and faced the enemy.
The cavalry group moved around at extremely fast speeds, and the numerous enemy troops looked like lambs to be slaughtered in his eyes.
The enemies around Fei Man were constantly hit by his hidden weapons and fell to the ground dead. At this time, his hidden weapons were full of poison, and if he scratched a little skin, they would die. The hidden weapons in his hands shot out like locusts.
, like a heavy rain, and like stars in the sky. Although the enemy soldiers all wore fine iron armor, Fei Man, a cunning man, shot them at their legs and heads. After they won the bid, they regretted why they didn't wear leg armor.
At the same time, Wynn's large troops had tightly surrounded White Wolf's main cavalry. White Wolf personally led the troops to attack left and right, but still could not move at all. Seeing the enemy troops coming towards him like a tide, he suddenly put a small bottle in his hand.
He took it out and found that it contained bone-rotting termites. He threw the vial forcefully towards the place where the enemy troops were most concentrated!
