136 The Cruel Xiao Yunyang
When Xiao Yunyang confronted the Frank Empire, he naturally studied the unadvanced military composition mechanism of the Frank Empire.
The components of auxiliary soldiers are very complicated, including the security guards drawn by Emperor Charles the Great from various towns and big cities, as well as the peasant soldiers recruited from the territories of the noble private army, and the young and strong local people who were recruited through a small amount of money and grain or even forced.
In short, the combat power of the auxiliary soldiers is not equal, and the combat power of the auxiliary soldiers who can fight is not comparable to that of the military household soldiers of the Han Empire. What cannot be fought is the farmer who picked up weapons.
The only thing that the auxiliary soldiers of the Frank Empire is that their weapons and equipment are the same simplicity.
Xiao Yunyang looked around and saw only the vanguard wearing a shabby leather armor in the opposite army, while the rest were dressed in ordinary civilian outfits.
Moreover, there are very few people riding horses in this vanguard, either officers or commanders.
There is no established cavalry, even if it is just a light cavalry!
In addition to the advantage of having many soldiers, this vanguard of the Frank Empire was only a little stronger than the tribe soldiers Xiao Yunyang had encountered.
Obviously, such troops cannot expect them to list clearly hierarchical square arrays, but large groups of people gathered together and formed an uneven front.
The vanguards were holding shields, and behind them were spearmen, so they couldn't see clearly afterwards...
But there should be archers and crossbow archers on the streets.
When attacking the Pannonia province, Xiao Yunyang discovered that the soldiers of the Frank Empire were generally equipped with crossbows, greatly enhancing their long-range attack capabilities, so they rarely saw javelin weapons with a relatively short range.
Although the number of troops increased by 20,000, they could compete with the more than 20,000 military soldiers under Xiao Yunyang.
Military household soldiers are military soldiers who have received militarized training, but the military cultivation of soldiers is generally low.
In terms of arraying, it is better than the opponent.
Soon, the front lines between the two sides began to steadily approach.
On the opposite side of the Frank Empire's vanguard's auxiliary army, a large group of long-range shooters holding bows or crossbows were also begun to walk out of the group.
The crossbow is in front and the archer is behind, and a thin projection front is listed, and behind is the slightly loose main formation.
The military soldiers on Xiao Yunyang's side were not to be outdone. Archers were out of the list, but the Javeliners did not.
When shooting at the crossbow, the poor effective range of the javelin is a situation of being abused.
Both sides have very traditional methods of cold weapons fighting.
First, the long-range front line approaches, and then stops and continuously shoots towards enemy long-range troops that have entered an effective range.
However, there were a large number of crossbowmen in the projection troops of the Frank Empire vanguard on the opposite side, and the shooting distance could not be compared with the archers, so they walked a little longer.
It was at this distance that these crossbow soldiers were shot by the archers of the Han military household soldiers and cried and cried for their parents. They suffered heavy losses. They only shot one round of crossbows and retreated...
The retreat of the crossbow soldiers caused a riot in the front line of the Frank Empire's vanguard. Xiao Yunyang naturally would not miss this opportunity. The archers in the front row began to advance while shooting arrows, and the main formation behind was also advancing steadily.
When both sides were about to enter the range of the javelin, the archers ran back and drilled into the gap left by the main formation.
Then, more than 20,000 military soldiers on Xiao Yunyang's side suddenly burst out and shouted, holding their shields and began to jog forward and charge forward!
Inspired by the perfect military field, these military soldiers have the courage to fight. The most important thing is that the vanguard of the Frank Empire opposite is obviously a mob auxiliary soldier who is worse than them!
This naturally invisibly reduced the burden on the military households of the Han Empire and made them burst out with higher morale.
If we were encountering the elite infantry of the Frank Empire today, the military households of the Han Empire would never dare to launch a hand-to-hand attack so bravely!
As the shield formation jogged forward, flying axes and javelins were constantly throwing behind the shield formation, smashing the weaker Frank Empire auxiliary soldiers backwards step by step.
As soon as they retreated, the military soldiers of the Han Empire were even more imposing, holding their spears and shields and hitting them hard!
When a large number of vanguards were stabbed and killed by spears, the vanguard line of the Frank Empire suddenly sank. Within less than ten minutes of the fight, there were signs of collapse.
Fortunately, there are many pioneers in the Frank Empire!
The new force behind quickly came up and replaced the front row soldiers who had consumed a lot of physical strength, and continued to fight with the enemy.
Although this handover caused the Frank Empire's vanguard to retreat several hundred meters away, it stabilized the collapse.
Of course, there were also active soldiers on the front line of the Han Empire who were fighting with high physical energy.
This is a common routine for cold weapons combat.
Otherwise, how many people can be killed by the strongest people?
On the battlefield, exhaustion means death.
Although military household soldiers have the advantage, it is difficult to quickly break the enemy formation with 20,000 more troops with rapid replacement of new forces.
As a result, the front lines of both sides were pushing and fighting and stuck together.
If a battle of tens of thousands of people cannot quickly defeat one side, it will be difficult to end in a short period of time.
This does more harm than good for the Han army with few soldiers.
After all, the more soldiers, the delay will definitely take longer.
However, Xiao Yunyang looked at the battle soul on his personal panel slowly increasing.
Although the quality of the Frank Empire vanguard on the opposite side was very poor, there were still many brave people among them, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.
After these bloody brave men died, they often have a high probability of providing Xiao Yunyang with a battle soul.
As for the casualties and injuries of the military households who have paid more for this, Xiao Yunyang doesn't care at all. Even if the more than 20,000 white military households are killed, Xiao Yunyang will not blink his eyelids.
As the core of Xiao Yunyang's hired musketeers, he never stepped onto the battlefield from beginning to end.
Because Xiao Yunyang understood that once the hired musketeers were allowed to go to the battlefield, the gun would continue for several rounds, and with the fighting will of the Frank Empire's vanguard auxiliary soldiers, they would definitely be avalanche.
At that time, no matter how many people you kill, you will not be able to harvest the soul of the war...
Anyway, the Frank Empire vanguard on the opposite side did not have a cavalry team, and just watching the infantry on both sides consume each other is the most suitable way to harvest the war souls.
cruel?
No, Xiao Yunyang is no longer cruel to describe his attitude towards white people. In Xiao Yunyang's eyes, white natives are actually data one by one. What Xiao Yunyang needs to consider is how to maximize these data for his own interests.
Under Xiao Yunyang's intentional indulgence, more than 20,000 military households naturally could not defeat the enemy troops who were 20,000 more than him, and always maintained a slight advantage.
From early morning to evening!
