Chapter 111: The demise of the newly attached army
As the longest-range individual weapon in the Song army with the longest range and the most powerful, the Divine Arm Bow was originally used to deal with cavalry of different ethnic groups. Therefore, its arrows are different from ordinary crossbows, and are "chisel arrows" with a shovel head shape, wide
About half a palm, weighing 1 pound and 2 liang. If an arrow passes, you can cut off a person's neck completely. If you hit a horse, cut off your hooves, shovel your neck, or go to the horse's chest.
It's no problem to open a big hole in front.
In just this first round of shooting, the New Army suffered more than 30 cavalry deaths and injuries, with a death rate of one fifth. This is because the divine arm archers of the Tianshu City Army had only one hundred people in the first row and two teams.
The second and third rows are flat-shooting crossbowmen holding horse-yellow crossbows and jumping crossbows. The effective range of these two crossbows is less than 200 steps, so they cannot form continuous shooting. Otherwise, three hundred heavy arrows will cover them.
With only two rounds of powerful shooting, the more than 100 cavalry had not yet rushed to the front of the formation, and it was probably almost gone.
The first round of attacks of the Divine Arm Bow, the bloody and cruel scene, had already scared the new affiliated army to death. If they could choose, they would definitely turn around and run away. But sadly, they were already in control at this moment.
The moment they rode on the war horse, they were tied to the "chariot" of fate. Life and death are based on fate... no, life and death are based on horse...
The horse tribe had rushed to 150 steps, and at the same time, the second round of attacks from the Divine Arm Bow came again...
A sharp roar that made the scalp numb, dripping through the air and hitting the target. Then there was a loud noise that kept coming. The sharp shovel surface cut the muscles, cut off the bones, disturbed the internal organs, and even cut the head directly... For a moment, blood was done
The rain was flying, and the broken limbs were broken. The internal organs of the scrofula were thrown around, and then they were trampled into mud by the iron hooves. I couldn't tell what organ it was...
A pungent bloody smell filled the entire canyon.
As the distance between the two sides was closer, the divine arm archers were much higher than the first time, so the effect of the second round of shooting was even more amazing. But in just a moment, there were at least fifty riders.
Flesh and flesh fly, body and soul die.
Too fast! In just two short rounds of shooting, the new affiliated cavalry was knocked out half. After paying such a heavy price, the only result was that he rushed within a hundred steps.
The bloody and cruel scene shocked the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Infantry Battalions.
Among these nearly a thousand soldiers, before they were recruited into the army, most of them were good families. Although they were physically good, some even had a little bit of fists, feet, guns, and sticks, but few of them had seen blood. Suddenly,
Seeing this tragic scene, the strong vision, taste and psychological impact made many soldiers feel weak all over and almost unable to control the weapons in their hands; and even worse, they actually started to retching on the spot...
Fortunately, the soldiers have been trained for several months after all. Especially in the past half month, 400 tutors in the teaching battalions have been added to each battalion to serve as leaders of non-commissioned officers of all sizes. These are the first batch of people who were loved by Di Lie.
, it is also the only group of students. They copied the teaching battalion and trained the new soldiers to death. Although they are fashionable and short, and their quality is of varying quality and not very obvious, the minimum order is to be enforced
Can do it very well.
Just like at this moment, although many soldiers looked pale and vomited even more, they were still firmly nailed to their own positions, and the large array remained relatively intact and remained unmoved.
In the era of cold weapons, the first priority is to complete the formation. If the formation is not broken, the enemy will have no choice but to take advantage of it; if the formation is dispersed, it will be not far from defeat. From this point of view, the first time of the new army in Tianshu City
The performance in field battles is basically qualified.
Shi Zhihe, who was commanding the crossbow formation on the front line, was very dissatisfied. At this time, he was yelling with his loud voice as loud as a temple bell: "The archer of the god arm is about to retreat, the crossbower comes forward! Two and three rows of crossbows
Have you spit enough hands? If you don’t launch them again, the Saga family will swallow all the scum on the ground after the war!”
The crossbowman team's team leader, the commander and the squad leader also yelled and scolded each other, finally letting these new guys who were very excited by the blood to recover.
Finally, the slow soldiers started shooting... This time, they used horse-yellow crossbow and jumping crossbow. Both crossbows were sluggish crossbows, that is, they stepped on the copper ring at the front of the crossbow body with their feet and hooked with their belt iron hooks.
A bow string is a powerful crossbow that uses the power of the waist and legs to wind the string. Although the lethality cannot be compared with the Divine Arm Bow, it is much stronger than the lifting crossbow (winding the string with the hand).
Less than a hundred steps, it is exactly the most powerful distance of the Ke Zhang Crossbow.
Just now, the distance between the divine arm bow is too far, so it is often used to shoot. Arrows go down the air, and there are people with middle men and horses. At this time, the distance is less than 100 steps, and the crossbowmen use flat shooting, in order to achieve the best results.
It is possible to accurately hit the enemy, and the targets are basically aimed at the huge horse.
Two rounds of arrows swept past, but the man did not shoot several, but at least 30 or forty horses fell down. In the case of "man and horse integration" in the New Army, the horse fell down and the man was naturally finished.
.
Less than fifty new cavalrymen remained successfully rushed to a distance of fifty steps from the crossbow formation. At this distance, if the horsepower is sufficient and sexually active, it will take less than ten seconds to
Rush to the front.
At this time, the new crossbowmen in Tianshu City exposed their lack of experience in facing the enemy for the first time - many soldiers subconsciously stepped on the string and prepared to take another arrow. If they were archers, they could indeed shoot one or two more times.
But the crossbow bow is too slow to lift, wait for the string to be launched, then turn around and run back into the formation, but it is too late - in ten seconds, you can count on a crossbowman who has only been trained for a few months, skillfully
Complete this series of actions?
But at this time, Zhang Li, who was commanding behind, had already tried his best to slap the banner of crossbowmen's retreat. Shi Zhihe, who was commanding in front of the formation, also shouted and urgently ordered the team commanders of the crossbowmen's teams, including Shi Zheng, to conquer the subordinates, to conquer the subordinates.
, retreat immediately.
After such delay, there was a gap, and the crossbow team did not retreat into the large array in time. If the new cavalry of the affiliated army did not diminish at this time and rushed over, at least some of the crossbow soldiers would be killed or injured.
However, this is the new army rather than the Jin soldiers. They are also a pink and tender new man, and their training, military discipline, and morale are far from being compared with the new army in Tianshu City. Even the new army is itself
The cruel scenes caused by their own hands were shocked, not to mention the new army in this Shura field.
As early as when the Divine Arm Bow was shot in the first round, these new soldiers wanted to turn their horses and flee. When the second round of arrow rain fell, most of the new soldiers were desperately using their arms.
Rotate the horse's neck backwards. Although their horse control skills are equivalent to zero, repeatedly strangling the horse's neck with both arms and pulling it backwards can still allow the trained war horse to sense the rider's intentions and slow down slowly.
So, when the third and four rounds of arrows were shot, more than 40 surviving new soldiers successfully rushed to the front of the crossbow formation fifty steps; at the same time, they also successfully stopped the war horses...
"Damn it! Bastard! Waste! Coward! A rabbit-like southerner..." Diesu, who was watching the battle in the distance, spurted out all the dirty words he could imagine. If Wang Ju was still
If you are by your side, I am afraid that he would have whipped his face with a horse whip and beaker.
He really couldn't understand. At such a heavy price, the weakest part of the enemy's formation was within reach. But at the critical moment when the results were about to be harvested, everything ended abruptly... Is there any more ridiculous battle than this?
?Soldiers from the Southern people are indeed not the most trashy, only even more trashy!
The "cliff" move of the new army soldiers in Tianshu City caused the new army to retreat safely to the formation.
With the order of the Musketeers, "Milketeers, fifty steps away, ruler 2, launch!"
Bang bang bang! The flames emitted by fifty muskets became the last blow to end the remaining New Affiliated Army.
There were more than ten fish that escaped the net, and some of them successfully turned their horses and fled to their original formation; some of them were dizzy and died, and they hit the third infantry camp. As a result, heavy armored swords and axe soldiers
Before he could try it, he was depressed for a long time and his hands and feet were itchy. He Yuanqing cut him over with one knife.
The seven or eight new soldiers who fled back to their own formation also failed. Just as they were glad that they had a happy life after the disaster, Diesu waved his hand expressionlessly, and the front team of the Jin army raised their bows together and flew with arrows.
The last surviving new army and his horse were shot and killed.
The new army in Tianshu City made a big mistake because of lack of combat experience; but the new affiliated army offset the mistakes of the new army in Tianshu City with a bigger mistake and eventually completely ruined itself.
The outcome of a war depends on which side makes fewer mistakes than the opponent.
Trust!
The destruction of the new affiliated army is not at all cost. At least it can be seen that there is a new army opposite, and the experience of the battle and the mutual cooperation between various troops is still lacking. It is just the enemy's crossbow and the strange metal.
Guanzi is very powerful, but fortunately, his opponent doesn't seem to have many such amazing weapons. Otherwise, the only thing he can do now is to order his troops to abandon their horses and cross the mountains and escape.
Since the enemy's trump card is insufficient, I may not be able to fight. As long as there is enough time... one hour, no, in just half an hour, Disu is sure to spread the "killer horse formation" on both wings, using the wind
The heavy rain arrows tear open a gap in the enemy's formation and rushed out. Of course, judging from the long-range strike capabilities the enemy has, it will cost a considerable price to do so, but it will be better than the end of the new affiliated army.
generally……
But at this moment, a yellow cloud rose from afar on the horizon behind the Jin army. Anyone with a little bit of common sense in the battlefield knew that there was a large number of people approaching quickly...
The muscles on Diesu's face twitched twice, and he clenched the whip with both hands. A voice in his heart roared in grief and anger: Why! Why don't you even give me this time!
Diesu rode his horse in a tragic expression and slowly patrolled in front of the formation, shouting passionately: "The warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom, among you, there are Khitans, Bohai people, Xi people, and Jurchen people...
No matter which tribe you are from, you all have one thing in common - they are all enemies and mortal enemies of the Song people! It was you who destroyed the Song people; it was you who captured the Song people's kings; it was you who robbed the Song people.
Human wealth, women and land! I am proud of you because you are strong! We do not need to pity the cowardly Song people, just like the eagle above the grassland, and never pity the rabbits that are only worthy of it as food... Now
, Let us warriors like eagles teach the people of the same rabbit with the bow and arrow in our hands!"
"Woohoho!" More than a hundred Jin soldiers were like chicken blood, dancing the bow, sword, axe and rod in their hands on their heads, and their morale suddenly burst out.
Successfully aroused the desire to unite against the enemy, and he took the opportunity to wave his whip forward. More than a hundred horses rushed forward under the driving control of skilled riders, and the huge thunder-like roar made the entire canyon full of
The tremor.
At the moment when the mind was trembling and the sight was fascinated by the smoke and dust in the sky, more than 150 cavalry and Jin soldiers took off their cavalry bows and drew feather arrows from their archery bags with their skillful combat instincts...
The Jin army will not use the kind of heavy cavalry that rushes forward and rushes against the hostile enemy. Because there are not many heavy cavalry in the Jin army, that is, the "Iron Float" and the Jin army has the most powerful force.
At that time, the total force of Tiefutu did not exceed five thousand. This was not only because the heavy cavalry was covered with heavy armor like iron towers and the equipment worn by war horses were difficult to forge, but also because they could bear such a heavy burden.
And it is really hard to find a good war horse that can gallop quickly.
The origin of the Jin army's war horses is mostly Mongolian horse breeds. This kind of horse has good gravity and strong endurance, but it is short and short, so it is not suitable for rapid charges. It can't hold a few hundred kilograms of iron armored knights and horses all over the body.
The only thing that can meet the requirements is the Hequ horse of Xixia, and it must be the best horse among them. However, it is difficult to meet the needs of the army by relying on the tribute from Xixia alone. It is precisely because of these factors
As the ultimate killer weapon of the Jin army, Tiefutu rarely appears on the battlefield. Once it appears, it will be a decisive life and death kill.
The most common fighting method used by the Jin army is to use light cavalry in leather armor to form left and right clasp horse formations (i.e., two wings encircled), and the arrows of rain hitting bananas from the flanks, and the tactics of attacking enemy infantry arrays.
. Especially when facing the Song army infantry formation that was extremely lacking in war horses, this kind of abuse and killing that came and went like the wind and was omnipresent often caused the Song army, which had gorgeous equipment and excellent weapons, but had severely lacked training and courage.
Under the pressure of repeated torture and fear, the soldiers eventually became in chaos and even collapsed on their own.
Since the invasion of the South, the Jin army has used such seemingly simple but difficult to crack tactics to deal with the Song army. It has been tried and done every time and has been invincible. However, only cavalry and crossbows can fight against the Jin army's tactics of horses. The Song army has almost no cavalry.
There are many powerful crossbows. But... I'll go back to the cliché issue: insufficient training!
The training of crossbowmen and maintenance of crossbow bows is not easy, and there is also the so-called "no three arrows to defeat the enemy". Without enough courage and military discipline, how can you face the wind without any cover and protection?
The enemy's arrows ravaged?
Now, Diesu, the more than a hundred Jin soldiers who fought hard for survival, once again sacrificed the "magic weapon" of the Jin army's cavalry battle: the tactic of the kidnapped horse. How will the new army soldiers in Tianshu City deal with it?
Zhang Li's decision is exactly the same: if you use the old tactics, I will use the old tricks.
Since the nemesis of the kidnapped horse is a strong crossbow, I'm sorry, there are not many other things in our two infantry battalions, but they are strong crossbows and strong bows. You have warriors in the Jin Kingdom, and I, the Central Plains, are also not short of strong men; you will die in battle.
We also have the ambition to die gloriously on the battlefield.
Let’s have a gorgeous collision between the goshawk and the white deer!
