Wudemen was breached, and all the rebels saw the hope of victory, and gathered like crazy towards Wudemen. Countless rebels surged in like rising tides, and the rebels in front rushed into the gate.
The rebels followed closely behind, forming a huge whirlpool in front of Wudemen.
However, before more people could rush in, they saw a group of armored cavalry suddenly coming out of Wudemen. These cavalry were in black helmets and black armor. Their men were like rainbows and their horses were like dragons. The huge impact knocked the surrounding rebels directly.
Flying, and then a violent rush seemed to rush into the rebel formation gathered like this, rampaging and killing wantonly. Wherever they passed, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and mutilated limbs were everywhere. Countless rebels were frightened and cowardly, howling like wolves, and scurrying away with their heads in their hands.
The infantry, which even lacked leather armor, were helpless in the face of the armored cavalry who were armed to the teeth. They were knocked around by the huge impact and were killed by sharp sabers.
They are running rampant, rushing back and forth to kill, but they can only run like wolves and pigs, and mice scurry with their heads in their hands.
More than five thousand rebels gathered in front of Taketoku Gate, but they collapsed under the impact of the armored cavalry...
Yuchi Gong, who was not far away, saw such a scene with his eyes split open. It was clear that victory was within easy reach after breaking through the palace gate. However, such a cavalry force suddenly turned the situation around. Now it was not that they could capture the Wude Palace, but if they could not stop it.
If a group of cavalry charges and kills at will, it is very likely that one's own morale will collapse and the morale of the army will be weakened.
Once the rebellion reaches a large scale, it will cause the entire army to collapse without a fight. When the defeat is overwhelming, there will be no way to recover...
However, even in such a dangerous situation, Yuchi Gong remained angry and undisturbed. He ordered: "Get out of the way, everyone, and let the enemy troops rush over!"
After saying that, he picked up the reins and led his troops to disperse to the left and right. As long as the armored cavalry passed from his side, they would run into Li Daozong's sternly waiting army, and his move would be blocked. At that time, he would lead his troops to attack the generals from both sides.
It was tightly trapped, so that it could not use the mobility of the cavalry. Naturally, it could only be left to be slaughtered, and it was easy to kill at the neck.
Yuchi Gong, who has been in battle for a long time, naturally knows the power of the armored cavalry once they charge. They can only outwit, not defeat, so he arranged a "pocket" according to the situation. As long as the armored cavalry gets into this pocket, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy with his strength advantage.
Even if he is trapped, the grinder will grind him to death!
However, before that, the rebels had to withstand a fierce attack by armored cavalry...
Fang Jun was covered with armor and stomach, leading the horse. The horse in his hand was flying up and down like a poisonous dragon out of the sea, stabbing, stabbing, picking, and sweeping. Every time he made a move, the rebels would scream for death. The horse was like a rainbow and the horse was like a dragon, running freely in the rebel formation.
rush ahead.
Guards left and right, with a thousand cavalry behind them, suddenly shot out from the Wude Gate, like a sharp arrow cutting through the waves of the rebels, charging rampantly from the front of the Wude Gate to the Wude Hall.
In a relatively wide area, they were running rampant, and everyone was fighting, and wherever they passed, the ground was covered with blood, and blood flowed into a river, which was unstoppable.
In less than half an hour, Fang Jun led his armored cavalry through this area and fought straight to the vicinity of Yu Chigong's Chinese army.
Seeing the dense rebels in front of him suddenly evading to both sides without any hesitation, it was obvious that he was deliberately trying to lure him forward. However, Fang Jun ignored it and headed straight towards the rebels gathered near Zhaode Hall.
Go behind the formation.
He knew that Li Zhi and other major rebel figures were now taking command in Zhaode Hall. As long as Zhaode Hall could be captured in one go, without the need for Li Jing, Xue Wanche and others to enter the city, the mutiny would be over.
Wherever the cavalry passed, the elite guards on the right side all gave way, causing Fang Jun to drive straight towards Zhaode Hall, moving forward unstoppably.
Yuchi Gong and his soldiers watched the armored cavalry rushing past him, and quickly ordered to stop, so that the troops on both sides could merge in the middle to block the rear formation of the armored cavalry, trapping them in the formation, but suddenly he felt
The green bricks underfoot were trembling slightly, and the soldiers around him were in an uproar at first, then screamed and started to commotion.
Yuchi Gong looked at him in astonishment, and saw the armored cavalry rampaging in front of him, leaving corpses all over the ground and flowing blood, heading straight towards Li Daozong's military formation, but behind him, two thousand black helmets, black armor, and heavy armor were armed to the teeth.
The infantry were trotting along the road where the cavalry had charged. Their formation was neat and murderous. They killed the right guard soldiers who were trying to close the gap in the middle. They followed the cavalry closely, making it impossible to tighten the gap.
.
"Mother! Go ahead and cut off these heavily armored infantry!"
Yuchi Gong was panicking. If he could not hold back and trap the armored cavalry, then even if Li Daozong could complete the interception, the armored cavalry could turn to both sides and continue to attack the Hedgehog troops gathered near Wude Hall. With its powerful impact and
With its lethality, I don’t know how many soldiers will be trampled by iron hoofs!
Waving their swords, they rode towards the heavily armored infantry, trying to cut them off so that they could not protect the rear cavalry.
The troops that originally avoided the two sides generally converged towards the middle as a tide, and collided with the advancing heavy-armored infantry. However, it was like waves crashing on the rocks, causing blood all over the sky, but the rocks remained motionless...
Yuchi Gong led his troops to charge, but a chill arose in his heart.
In the past few years, Youtun Guards have risen from being ordinary to becoming the most powerful among the Sixteen Guards. It was when Fang Jun became the general. Fang Jun reformed the military system in Youtun Guards and replaced it with a recruitment system.
He established the government military system and wiped out all the forces left by his predecessor in one fell swoop. Everyone from top to bottom was his confidant and obeyed his orders. The soldiers he recruited were strong and of excellent quality, making the Youtun Guards more powerful.
increased significantly.
However, the biggest reason why Youtunwei was able to conquer the north and west and remain undefeated was its unique equipment advantage.
Needless to say about firearms, equipped with muskets, artillery and weather permitting, the combat power of Youtunwei is enough to dominate all directions and crush the contemporary era. Any army under the fierce attack of firearms can only be annihilated.
fate.
The popularity of armored stomachs and the excellence of weapons are also factors that cannot be ignored.
I don’t know where Fang Jun got the new iron smelting technique. It can not only greatly increase the output, but also improve the quality of refined steel, allowing the Fang’s Iron Works to overtake the Changsun’s Iron Works. This also indirectly makes the Changsun’s
The strength of the army was not as good as before. Later, a foundry bureau was set up and water-powered forging hammers were used on a large scale to forge armor stomachs and weapons, which made the combat power of Youtunwei suddenly increase.
Yu Chigong knew that Fang Jun must have a reserve force, and that this reserve force must be strong and well-equipped, but he never imagined that in such a battle situation, Fang Jun would actually hide a thousand armored cavalry and two thousand heavy armored infantry.
.
While other people's troops only have two or three hundred armored cavalry, the number of armored cavalry in Youtunwei has reached 20 to 30%. Especially these armored soldiers are concentrated to form an undefeated armored cavalry, armed to the teeth.
How can we fight this battle with heavy armored infantry?
He led his right guard forward bravely in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the armored cavalry. However, although the soldiers fought hard and looked forward to death, it was really difficult to shake the array of heavily armored infantry. Not only did he fail to do so, the entire position was even blocked by armored cavalry and heavy armor.
The infantry tore out a huge hole one after another, exposing the Chinese army behind them and even Zhaode Hall not far away to the front of the armored cavalry.
The situation of the battle reversed instantly...
…
Li Daozong, who led his soldiers to sit in the middle army, was also shocked by the charging speed of the armored cavalry. You must know that there are at least nearly ten thousand troops gathered on the battlefield outside Wudemen. With Wudemen as the center, on the east and west sides,
The battle line that stretched for more than a hundred feet took turns to launch fierce attacks. As a result, Wudemen had just been breached, and before the whole army could jump for joy, the armored cavalry suddenly charged out, and then dug through the position, leaving mountains of blood and corpses everywhere.
The sea, the bloody wind, was killing him in front of him.
The position composed of thousands of soldiers was as vulnerable as a paper lake clay sculpture under the iron hooves of the armored cavalry...
"Form up and meet the enemy!"
"You only need to withstand the first wave of enemy charges to launch a counterattack. No one is allowed to retreat!"
"Whoever dares to step back even half a step will be killed without mercy!"
Li Daozong drew his horizontal sword and personally led the battle formation behind the central army. He ordered the soldiers behind him to beat the war drums and prepare to attack the armored cavalry.
"Boom!" The vanguard of the armored cavalry suddenly entered the formation. The armored war horses stood up carrying the huge kinetic energy, and the iron hoofs as big as bowls kicked hard on the rebels' shields, leather armor, and bodies.
, countless rebels spit out blood donations and flew out upside down, knocking the battle array around them into a mess.
Immediately, the spear in the cavalry's hand penetrated the rebel's body with the help of huge inertia. The sharp spear tip easily penetrated the rebel, and even still had the strength to continue to penetrate the second, third... until a series of
The rebels were pierced into blood gourds, then gave up their spears, drew their sabers, jumped into the formation with their swords, and hacked and killed them wantonly.
The rebels were knocked dizzy by the huge impact of the armored cavalry. They finally stabilized their position and began to counterattack after suffering heavy casualties, but found that the weapons in their hands could not cause much damage to the enemy who were heavily armored.
How can we fight this battle if we can only take a beating but can't fight back, can't advance or retreat? The rebels are in chaos.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Daozong shouted at the top of his lungs: "No retreat! No retreat! Everyone rushed forward and attacked the horse's legs with heavy weapons!"
At this time, you must not take a step back. The armored cavalry is in full swing and your own morale has plummeted to the extreme. Taking a step back may cause a chain reaction, causing the entire army to collapse and be defeated like a mountain.
Only by entangling the armored cavalry with huge casualties, waiting for Yuchi Gong to cut off their retreat from behind, and then attacking from both sides, could it be possible to defeat the enemy.
The soldiers under Li Daozong and the Yuancong Forbidden Army originally stationed at Xuanwu Gate were indeed the elite among the elite. Even at this moment, facing the brutal killings of armored cavalry, they were under great pressure and gradually stabilized their position under Li Daozong's urging.
The strategy of using heavy weapons to attack the horse's legs did somewhat curb the offensive of the armored cavalry.
