Chapter 48 The Price
Because the Jurchens were born in a mixed economic form of fishing, hunting and nomadic economic form, the equipment in the army was more important. The reason why they were particularly fond of heavy cavalry construction was that in addition to the characteristic of their nomadic peoples lies in riding horses, they mainly had too many military resources.
So they took advantage of the advantages of multiple leather to develop heavy cavalry with great attack potential. The heavy cavalry is indeed revitalized in their hands, and they also like to fight directly and die directly. The main weapon of the Jurchen cavalry is bow and arrow
"The bow is only seven dou, and the arrow is six or seven inches long, and it is like a chisel, and it cannot be used when entering or leaving." "The sword does not make any quick profits." The Jin Dynasty had this fierce cavalry, which was better than the original Liao Dynasty.
And the Western Xia cavalry. The Jurchen cavalry were almost invincible and never suffered serious defeat.
Zhao Yong's troops are now 3,000 on the battlefield, including the First Brigade of the Mercenary Corps and his personal guard battalion, a baggage team and a staff team. According to the organization, each brigade has four battalions, including two cavalry battalions and dragon cavalry battalions.
, but they were not satisfied with the unit. Each battalion had only more than 400 people, and the direct team only had one machine gun team. Compared with the Loyal and Brave Army, they lacked heavy weapons such as artillery and other light cavalry, so they were not only the number of people and the firearms in their hands, but they were also the Jin army.
He doesn't have much advantage in comparison, and he doesn't want to win a miserable victory in the first battle.
Zhao Yong drove the phalanx to approach slowly. Seeing that the enemy had already arranged a formation, he stopped three hundred steps away. He picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite side, and found that the opponents were all cavalry, with each fifty people listed as a team.
The twenty people in front were all equipped with heavy armor and held stick guns; the thirty people behind were all bows and riders, wearing light armor, but compared to the leather armor on them, they were considered heavy armor, and they bent their bows and arrows to cover them.
. However, the formation of the Jin army was not as neat and strict as its own side, but was divided into scattered groups, with light and heavy cavalry mixed together, similar to the overlapping formation of the Song army.
"The dragon cavalry is protecting the two wings, and the cavalry is in the middle!" After seeing this, Zhao Yong understood the opponent's intention. First, he wanted to use the heavy cavalry as the forward to rush forward, and wait until the opponent's formation is stormed and the arch cavalry is behind the back to kill; second, he used a bow to use a bow to block the attack;
The rider takes turns to harass him, and after discovering his weaknesses, the heavy rider rushes to the formation. The changes are all due to the opponent's general adapting to the situation. However, depending on the opponent's posture, he wants to take the power of the initial victory. If both sides hedge, his side will definitely suffer a loss. Therefore,
He chose a conservative tactic.
Meng'an (the commander of the thousand men) who led the Jin army was worthy of being a long-standing battlefield. When Zhao Yong's formation moved, he was immediately noticed. When changing formations, it was often the most fragile time. He seized this opportunity and immediately launched an attack.
The Jin army rushed to the front, all wearing heavy armor, called the "Hard Army". These people have the lowest status and the worst equipment in the army, and they serve as vanguards. They are no different from the dead army, but the Jin army has clear rewards and punishments.
If they survived in battle, they would often change their destiny, so they would not hesitate to die. Behind the hard army is the main army, these people are better equipped, and the hard army breaks through the gap, so they are responsible for expanding the breakthrough.
Expand the results of the battle.
The Jin army started with thousands of people. They were used to fighting battles with fewer people and had a natural psychological advantage over the enemy with the number of people. The sound of the horns came and rushed over. The two armies were only apart with three arrows.
The Jin army was fighting desperately, and they had to increase the speed of the horse to the highest level within such a short distance. In this way, the powerful impact of the horse was fully utilized. After a hundred steps, the Jin army knights took their bows and took arrows one after another.
, but it is not triggered.
Zhao Yong was stunned. The reason why he set up the Yanyue Formation was to surround the Jin army with his superior forces. However, the Jin army opposite seemed to be ignorant of life and death. Instead of retreating quickly, he launched a counterattack. He actually wanted to fight them directly.
But now is not the time to think about the Jin army's psychology. The opponent will rush to their formation in just a few breaths at such a close distance. At this time, the counterattack has lost its chance. If it is a collision, it is not as easy to use static to control it.
The Jin soldiers who were covered in iron armor were charged with human shells, and they could even kill them.
The soldiers who were re-arranged were also frightened. They were all people with combat experience and knew the consequences of the chaos of the formation. The real cavalry in the face-to-face melee casualties were not decisive. On the contrary, when one side did not support the retreat, they would be
The pursuers behind them cut and slashed. But no one dared to attack without permission, because the military sticks and swords had taught them that they had no orders to act without mercy. So although they were panicked, they still changed their formation according to their orders and their eyes were all
It focused on the generals under his command.
"Stop shooting!" Zhao Yong did not expect that as soon as the battle began, he forced himself to use his trump card. He urgently ordered the machine gun team to step forward and intercept.
'Dada...'The cavalry tactic of the Zhongyong Army is to first use artillery bombardment to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then use wheeled vehicles to open the road. The cavalry then launched an attack. Zhao Yong wanted to do this just now, but he didn't expect the Jin army to take the lead.
He ordered, and the wheeled convoy that was on standby immediately started shooting in front of the formation...
The fierce gunfire suddenly rang, which still scared the attacking Jin army, but it was only a moment. They were deeply confident in the iron armor on their bodies. Even ordinary bows and arrows within a hundred steps were difficult to penetrate, and they would not be right.
They cause damage, and as long as they have a few more breaths, they can rush to the front of the enemy within fifty steps. That is the distance where the bows and arrows in their hands can exert their maximum power. These enemies who only wear this leather armor will definitely not stop them from shooting.
Rain of arrows.
The Jin army soon found out that they were wrong. The lead balls shot out of the smoke that could not be seen at all created tragedies that they could not imagine. They understood that a lead ball shot through at lightning speed.
What happens to the human body? First, it will leave a small hole as thick as a thumb on the skin at the front injection point, and then the lead ball forms a huge force when passing through the body, causing internal organs to be damaged, and at the same time it is unhonest and constantly rolls, raising the muscles
Tear and blood vessels are cut off. If you are lucky enough to not touch the hard bones, it will spread out of the human body at a slightly slow speed, but it will leave a wound as big as a bowl in the place where the bullet is released.
If you hit the head and happen to be wearing a helmet, then congratulations on becoming an unknown martyr, no one can recognize who you are from your face. The wounds created by bullets are even more terrible. It will overturn your skull.
It's beyond recognition. If you just break your artery, it's not bad. At least you won't feel pain, because under the strong pressure of the heart, you will lose a quarter of your body's blood within a few seconds and you won't feel it
If you suffer, you will be over, but your comrades within three feet will taste the taste of your blood!
If you hit your exposed limbs, go into a small hole, and the bullets fly out with bones, leaving a big hole, muscles and blood vessels in a mess. Under the medical conditions at that time, even if you could save your life, it would be a missing arm or legs.
It’s disabled, and there will never be any heroes who pull out the arrow and eat their eyes. It’s okay to pull out the arrow!
If you are lucky enough to just be hit by a bullet and the bullet fails to penetrate, don't think it's safe. You will feel as if you were hit hard by a hammer, and you will involuntarily fall backwards. At this time, it may
A few ribs will be broken, and due to head inertia, the weak neck nerve will be crushed and the person will faint. Unfortunately, you are racing on the horse. What will happen if an unconscious person will be? Pigs know
.The helmet is the strongest part of the armor, and lead balls are generally difficult to penetrate. It will hit a small round cake on it, but even so, the deformed helmet will crush your skull or break your neck.
The dragon cavalry who adjusted their formation quickly joined the ranks of blocking the shooting. The Jin army's "hard army" could not be hard either. They rode their horses and ran left and right in the rain of bullets, and could not get rid of the dense fire nets, and they could not get rid of the dense fire nets.
The horse-bearing was knocked down by the horse's hooves from behind, and the invisible obstacle was trampled into a meat paste by the companion's hooves.
The leading hard army was almost wiped out, but failed to reach the best range of bows and arrows. Meng'an, the leader of the Jin army, couldn't help but regret it at this time. He secretly hated that he underestimated the opponent's strength, and rashly ordered the entire army to suppress it, and wanted to defeat it in one fell swoop.
The opponent, but now there is only regret and deep fear of the weapons in the enemy's hands. He ordered the front army to turn back and plan to reorganize the formation and fight again.
According to the daily combat rules, a team of people will often be left behind when attacking. Once the attack fails and retreats and rests, they will be pursued by the enemy, and the people left behind will come in handy. The Jin army soon discovered that they are for themselves.
The pride paid the price. The opponent did not give them a chance. When they scattered and tried to run out of the battlefield, the opponent moved. Instead of forming a scattered formation like they did, they lined up in neat rows
The charge started, like wave after wave of storms chasing behind!
The attacker became chased and the murderer became killed. Meng'an, the leader, no longer hoped to reorganize and fight again. He just wanted to escape, but at this time the Jin army was proud of the iron armor.
It has become a burden for them at this moment. The power of heavy cavalry is not as powerful as that of light cavalry. No matter how they whip the war horses, it is still difficult to escape the opponent. Some people return to the horse with the determination to die, but they cannot stop the rolling rolling at all.
Even if some people who came to Tieliu could escape from the blade of the first row of pursuers, they would be immediately slashed off the horse by the second wave that arrived later. They could not resist it at all. They could only watch the other party's Yanyue
The array gradually closed.
"Kill..." Zhao Yong shouted loudly, his sword was unsheathed, and he waved in the air, and rushed towards the Jin army in the encirclement. The Jurchens, who were usually like wolves, have now become lambs to be slaughtered, whether they dismounted and surrendered, or
Those who fought desperately were cut off their heads without exception. He did not need prisoners in this battle, but blood. He wanted to establish his authority and use their blood as a sacrifice to prove the rise of a strong army. These
