ps: Thanks to Brother Zong. Heng for the reward, thanks to Lantern, Siegfried, Yutongren, Mengxia, Stinky Fish Bones, mp5, Zihu’s monthly pass, I would like to express my gratitude!
Huolu sent a messenger to report to Raoleshan that the Yingzhou Army's troops and horses were found outside Dayakou. After careful observation, it was found that the Yingzhou Army had about 4,000 troops, including about 500 auxiliary troops.,! These Yingzhou Army
The army is divided into six divisions, each with a general's flag bearing the surname of the general. According to the composition of the Yingzhou Army that was discovered in advance, it is believed that it contains five battalions of soldiers. There are also more than a thousand people who should be in the central army, because this army
Always following the general's banner, after identification, the large characters embroidered on the commander's banner were "Li, the Governor of Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty". Therefore, Huelu was convinced that Li Chengzhong was also in the army, and this army should be the Yingzhou Army.
All the main force., all text typed by hand
Huolu reminded Rao Leshan that what was inconsistent with his previous judgment was that the Yingzhou Army had a thousand more soldiers in addition to the five battalions of soldiers. Since it was the central army, Huolu believed that its combat power should not be underestimated.
After the messenger left the camp, his cousin Huage said to Huolu: "Brother, we are too close to the enemy, which is not conducive to our army's escape. Can we tell the warriors to get up early after dawn, so that we can break camp before the Yingzhou army and fight with the enemy?"
Put some distance?"
Huo Lu shook his head and said: "We will evacuate immediately after the battle. I'm afraid the Yingzhou Army will not follow easily." Read the latest chapter
Huage was confused: "Brother, you want to fight Li Chengzhong?"
Huo Ludao: "Exactly. Li Chengzhong is said to be victorious in every battle. I want to test his foundation. He has won consecutive victories over Pinbu and Wukui before, but you and I both know that these tribes are not very powerful. As for Bohai
Human beings are even more vulnerable, so no one knows how the Yingzhou Army is doing."
After a pause, Huo Lu said with a confident smile: "Now I have two thousand warriors in my hands. Our Hema Infantry Army has a reputation that has been achieved through hard work. In the battle of the Guangbian Army, the descendants of the Gao family brothers from behind were unable to do anything.
If we brothers can't do it, I don't believe that the Yingzhou army can compete with the children from the back of the mountain. This time he came with the whole army. If we can defeat them in one battle here, do we still need the painstaking planning of my brother in the rear?
"
Huage said: "But if we don't win, if we lose too much, it may be detrimental to future wars."
Huo Lu nodded and said: "Don't worry, it's just a try. I won't send out our two thousand warriors easily. With the Adahe tribe in front, it's enough to see the opponent's clues. Besides, there are still many soldiers from the Rites Division.
.Even if we fight them all, we won’t break our bones.”
The initial purpose of Huolu's battle was to conquer the Kumoxi and Adahe tribes. However, with the sudden death of Yue Shilu, the situation on the grassland became more and more obvious. The root of everything pointed to Raoleshan and the Yingzhou Army.
The time for the decisive battle has arrived. So Huelu received an order from Abaoji to delay the war and attract the Yingzhou army to find opportunities for a decisive victory in the future.
Turning around, Huolu mobilized the army to march out and invited the Yingzhou Army to fight. Naturally, Li Chengzhong would not refuse and also put the army out. Both sides deployed their main forces to form a decisive battle.
The two armies met, three hundred paces apart. As soon as he saw the formation of the Yingzhou Army, Hue Lu was dazzled by the gorgeous armors worn by the opposing soldiers! The rows of spearmen in the front were all made of iron armor, and look!
They still look like Mingguang armor! Not only are they wearing armor, but even their helmets are made of iron. Each soldier's helmet is also equipped with a visor. There are cold and lifeless faces, and there are iron statues shining with cold light.
Standing in front of the military formation, they are like iron walls!
Huo Lu was riding on a tall horse. He raised his neck and looked hard at the rear of the Yingzhou Army. He saw that the enemy's rear formation seemed to be fully armored. Although it was not iron armor, but looking at its thickness, one could tell that most of it was heavy armor.
Armor, even the archers who hold bows are wearing armor!
Full armor formation!
Huo Lu couldn't help but swallowed, feeling shocked and envious at the same time.
Huelu did not dare to attack such a military formation rashly, and let his Hema infantry attack such a military formation. God knows how much damage would be suffered! But Huolu was more interested in trying it. If he could defeat the opponent, such a
Seized, I'm afraid he will be too excited to sleep for many days in a row, right?
Since the Adahe tribe has newly surrendered to Huolu, they must have the consciousness to become cannon fodder. Unsurprisingly, Zhubulu Qijin received the order from Huolu to lead his headquarters to take the lead. Zhubulu is really the leader at this moment.
Helpless, his tribal warriors suffered heavy losses when attacking the Kumoxi people. Now there are less than a thousand capable warriors, but he can only bow down and accept the order. Not to mention the surrender of Huolu just now, and he has to lead the troops again.
Whether the other party believes it or not, the fact that the members of Adahe tribe have been transferred to Raoleshan a few days ago and become hostages in the hands of Abaoji, Huolu and others makes Zhubulu wholeheartedly follow Huolu.
Lu will do it to the end.
After Zhubulu took over the order, he asked an elder who was good at fighting to lead the attack: "I will give you three hundred soldiers. Be sure to entangle the enemy from the front. I will lead people to support you. Lord Huelu just reminded me that I heard that the camp
The arrows of the state army are very powerful, so you have to be careful. You should bring all the shields this time and let the warriors cover them, so as to reduce casualties as much as possible. Remember, we have no way back, even if we can't win, we still have to
Show us the courage of our Adahe tribe."
The elder nodded solemnly. Before leaving, Zhubulu couldn't help but warn him again: "That evil beast of mine has brought shame to the Adahe tribe. If we don't do our best, I'm afraid the entire tribe will be in danger!"
The two hundred warriors of the Adahe tribe gathered all the shields in the tribe, mounted their war horses, and launched a charge towards the Yingzhou Army array. For thousands of years, the tactics of the prairie people who lack heavy armored cavalry have never changed.
The method is to accelerate to the front of the opponent's formation on horseback, and then dismount to fight on foot. Light armored cavalry cannot effectively attack before setting up the formation. A tight infantry formation is never afraid of the charge of light armored cavalry.
Therefore, Zhubulu's tactics remain unchanged. He plans to lead a group of warriors into the battle, endure the baptism of arrows and get entangled with the enemy. Then he will lead the main force to join in, relying on the bravery of the warriors to open a gap.
.As long as he can open a gap in the enemy's formation, he believes that Master Huolu behind him will know what to do. However, he hopes that Master Huolu can issue the order for the entire army to attack earlier, so as not to consume too much energy from the soldiers of Adahe.
many.
After Huolu's reminder, Zhubulu already knew that the arrows of the Yingzhou army in front of him were powerful. This was not surprising to him. For hundreds of years, when the Tang army went out to conquer the pass, its arrow formations were extremely powerful. That was the result of their ancestors.
This was a warning passed down from generation to generation, so he handed over all the shields to the first batch of warriors, and at the same time estimated an acceptable number of casualties. He estimated that he might lose fifty to fifty soldiers under the opponent's arrows.
Eighty warriors.
However, when the Yingzhou Army's arrows were actually fired, Zhu Bulu realized just how powerful the Yingzhou Army's arrows were! In addition to the range being far beyond his imagination, the lethality also achieved an extremely astonishing effect. Not only
He did not expect, not even Huo Lu who was behind him. Huo Lu stared at the rows of big arrows flying out of the opponent's formation with his eyes wide open, shattering the shields held high by the soldiers of the Adah tribe, and stabbed them.
Wear it, and then pierce it through the soldiers' bodies, nailing them to the ground together with the horses under their crotches!
The warriors of the Adahe tribe formed a very dense formation on horseback, so they suffered severe blows from the big arrows, causing a crowd of people to fall on their backs at a distance of 200 to 150 steps in front of the Yingzhou army formation.
The soldiers of the Adahe tribe who rushed into the formation had already made up their minds to die. They knew that the fate of their tribe would be decided at this moment, so everyone did not hesitate and continued to rush towards the Yingzhou Army formation.
The second wave of big arrows arrived again, knocking over the area like a huge wave. The remaining people finally woke up, and they dispersed under the shouts of the leader, hoping to avoid being covered by the big arrows again.
The combat procedures of the Yingzhou Army are as tight as a machine. This combat method was formed after repeated exercises countless times. Its biggest feature is that when facing a battle, the commander does not need to issue too many instructions. Senior officers only focus on
For battlefield adjustments, all specific tactical details will be delegated to the grassroots officers at the capital and corps levels. The grassroots officers have already formulated various response plans during the training and issued them according to different situations.
According to different orders, soldiers choose different tactics according to the instructions of grassroots officers. These tactics have been practiced countless times and everyone is extremely skilled.
The training methods of this era were not systematic. The training simply focused on the individual prowess of the soldiers. Some military generals also paid attention to the drill of large formations during military training, requiring the soldiers to form tight and compact formations and to hold together during combat.
They cannot be easily dispersed, which is the sign of a good general. A few military generals who are strict in managing troops will also pay attention to the courage of their soldiers during military training, pay attention to the execution of orders and prohibitions, and use various methods to make the soldiers only move forward when fighting.
Retreating, this can be regarded as a truly famous general. Because in the eyes of most generals, the real elite soldiers are fought on the battlefield. Only those soldiers who have survived hundreds of battles are the essence of an army. This way
Soldiers are usually taken by the generals and become their personal guards, entering the battlefield at the most critical moments.
As for the cooperation between the ten soldiers in each group, the coordination between the groups in each team, and the support between each battalion, few people have touched on it. Therefore, when later Qi Shaobao refined the training subjects to each group,
When every soldier was seeking cooperation in tactics, the Qi Army's mandarin duck formation immediately became the best in the world!
According to common practice, when the soldiers of the Adahe tribe dispersed under the attack of the big arrows, the higher-quality troops would continue to shoot arrows in strict accordance with the previously issued orders. The third wave of big arrows would arrive as scheduled, even if the effect was not good.
There will be no change at all; while an army with lower quality will appear a little confused under the sudden change, and the soldiers will not be able to help but stop and wait for the general's order when they know that they are aiming at nothing.
In the Yingzhou Army, due to the large amount of training and many training plans, and because of the decentralization of power during combat, grassroots officers at all levels immediately ordered to stop shooting big arrows. Almost at the same time that the big arrows stopped, the back row
The ordinary archers of the archery battalion immediately heard orders:
