Sweep the World

The Jin army has shortcomings of cavalry, but it does not mean that all the Jin army is waste. Otherwise, even if there is the Yangtze River as the sky, the Hu people should have eliminated the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

　　 The truth is that once the Jin army is commanded by the right people, then the combat effectiveness of the Jin army is actually worth looking forward to, especially in the battle of infantry. And this is actually a characteristic of China Civilization. In battle, the formation is used as a coordination hub. If you don't collapse on its own, you will lose the battle, but it is relatively rare to lose even your underwear.

Huan Wen was surprised to see that there were cavalry in the Jin army. The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a regular army of 200,000. Among the 200,000 cavalry, there were only less than 20,000. Among them, the number of the Jin army was even less. . But what did he see? The cavalrymen of the Jin army who came out of the village wore tie armor, and the front half of the war horse also had scale armor. It was not a sudden cavalry.

The Jin army’s cavalry went out to fight in the village that the Han army did not expect. Even if Huan Wen mobilizes his cavalry to engage with it, there will be delays. That way, it can only watch the Jin army’s cavalry rush to the Han army. Advancing away.

Approximately a thousand Jin army cavalry are already shouting, rolling forward with the sound of horseshoes. After they protrude, they slowly become a traditional cavalry charge in front of the army. The Jin army knights at the top are high Raising the small round shield to prepare for the defensive arrows, the Jinjun knights a little behind are holding a strong crossbow at a forty-five-degree angle and preparing to shoot.

The advancing Han army stepped to a halt. The tower shield soldiers and pikemen in front were shouting from the officers. The tower shield soldiers were busy building shields to organize the shield wall, and the pikemen used their own weapons to extend their shields. In the gap between the walls, a shield wall and a forest of spikes appeared soon.

　　 Behind the shield wall, the crossbowmen quickly dispersed, everyone was waiting for the order to shoot.

The crossbows in the Han army re-adjusted their firing direction. They were almost ready to be on standby. The crossbowmen in the formation had already obeyed the commander’s command and pulled the trigger. That was a strong recoil from their hands. There were bursts of bowstring humming and sharp piercing sounds, and then a dense array of crossbow arrows filled the sky.

The attacking Jin cavalry made a bend, becoming a semi-circular shape that can be used for most of the crossbow arrows launched by the Han army. Only a small part of the tail was "chewed off", and then they took advantage of the speed. Roundabout, their entire course of action is like a snake.

　　 "It's not a military commander of the imperial court." Huan Wen knew the virtues of the regular army of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He said: "It's a private soldier of the Xie family."

Family private soldiers south of the Yangtze River are not the same as the regular army of the imperial court, and there are certain differences between them. For example, the regular army of the imperial court and some family private soldiers do not need to garrison the land in a state of war, but some family private soldiers do not produce but only exercise and kill. Skills, such as the Yu family, the Xie family, the Huan family, and the Wang family all have similar private soldiers, but the number is definitely limited, and they are all elite cavalry.

The snake attitude of the Shanxi cavalry is very slippery. They have been trying to get close to their shooting distance. After repeated attempts, they have never had a chance. That is because the shooting frequency of the Han army's strong crossbow is much faster than Xie Shi imagined. Very many, they can't bear the huge cost of casualties and just mount and shoot after getting close.

　　 "Mingjin let the cavalry retreat!" Xie Shi finally lost a smile on his face, and replaced it with a full of solemnity, which was both puzzled and horrified: "Why can the Han army's strong crossbow shoot so fast?"

　　 The Jin Army’s strong crossbow needs about forty hurdles to reload after it is fired. It is a strong crossbow that relies entirely on human hands or pedals.

　　 The firing frequency of the strong crossbow of the Han army is about fifteen breaths per round, mainly because the crossbow is equipped with a winch component.

If there is a huge gap between the loading time of the Jin Army Qiangbow and the Han Force Qiangbow, and the Han army adopts an arrow pattern similar to the "three-stage shooting" rule, the shooting frequency will naturally exceed imagination, but I want to Adopting similar arrow array technology must have the advantage of sufficient number of strong crossbowmen.

　　 Xie Shi ordered his cavalry to withdraw in time, but they underestimated the use of the cavalry by the Han army, and even misjudged the shooting speed of the Han army's strong crossbow.

At the beginning, the Han cavalry were moving towards the Jin cavalry. Although the terrain they were on had restrictions on the speed of the cavalry, it should never be so slow. They were completely observing the direction of the Jin cavalry. Waiting for the signal of one's own infantry.

The dense arrows are no longer chasing the advancing cavalry to shoot, but covering some of the Jin cavalry's possible retreat positions, forcing the Jin cavalry to choose those positions that are not covered, and then hit the oncoming Han army. cavalry.

Before the two cavalry were about to collide, Xie Shiqing, who was on the battalion's nest cart, couldn't help clenching his fists. What he saw was that the cavalry on both sides fired arrows at almost the same time. When the arrows were still floating in the sky, the two cavalry Each issued its own battle cry.

　　 The Jin army is shouting: "I am invincible!"

　　The Han army roared: "The Han army is mighty!"

When the sound fell, the arrows in the sky also fell. The cavalry at the forefront used shields to protect their bodies as much as possible. When the arrow rain fell, the "jingle" of arrows and shields could be heard endlessly. More It is the shot of the arrow that trembles on the ground. Naturally, the sound of people being shot and horses being shot is indispensable.

　　 Also in an absolutely safe position, Huan Wen, who was watching the battle, heard the battle cry of the Jin cavalry and said with a smile: "It really is a private soldier of the Xie family."

The private soldiers of each family south of the Yangtze River have their own battle horns. The Huan clan’s battle celebrity is "brave and fearless." Each has its own characteristics, a little bit of the "feudal characteristics" of the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. For example, the battle cry of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very targeted.

The opposite shooting only caused a small loss to both sides. The two armies collided quickly with the sound of horseshoes. It was the cavalry and the cavalry hitting each other and turning their horses on their backs, or the cavalry staggered and swung out weapons to kill each other. The cavalry wearing white and red shirts "eroded" each other, and knights became the dead souls of the battlefield at all times.

After the cavalry battle between the two armies, Huan Wen and Xie Shi made the same move, which was to mobilize the infantry. The difference is that Huan Wen needed his own infantry to be close enough to the defense line of the Jin army, and Xie Shi wanted the infantry to meet his own cavalry. Retreat.

　　 "We are well matched!" Yuan Qiao watched the cavalry confrontation with a single-tube telescope, and said, "Basically, we change one for one. We have a slight advantage."

　　 Han Tu cavalry no longer uses Zha armor, it uses a lighter plate armor style. Assembling the knights of the Han army with plate armor on the front chest and leather armor on the other parts, it is lighter and more flexible than the Zha armor style. It also reduces the load on the horses, and it has been repeatedly proven that the plate armor is not weak in protection. Yu Zhajia has more advantages in speed and endurance.

　　 Huanwen knew what Yuan Qiao’s words meant. It was nothing more than that the Han cavalry had an advantage in equipment, but the Jin cavalry had an advantage in fighting skills.

"We can afford it." Huan Wen said with reality and cruelty: "Even if the 1,000 cavalry with whom we were fighting is gone, we still have two thousand, and the Jin army’s 1,400 cavalry will not be damaged. Up."

In view of the importance of solving the Jin cavalry for the next battle, Huan Wen issued a shocking order, that is, let the approaching Han archers and crossbowmen cover the position of the cavalry indiscriminately, and let the spear The soldiers charged.

　　 There is a tactic in Europa. After the cavalry launches a charge, the archers in the rear do not care about the coverage of the enemy and the enemy. They use the corpses of the enemy and the enemy to create a barrier wall, and then the infantry meets the aircraft to form an encirclement and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

Xie Shi immediately slapped his palm on the guardrail of the nest car after discovering the indiscriminate coverage of the Han army's long-range troops. There was a loud bang, and he roared, "Shameless! Shameless! It is really shameless and beastly behavior!"

The cavalry on both sides covered indiscriminately, only a small part of them found that they could not be covered. After all, the current enemy forces that are more concerned in the fierce fighting, there is no spare time to pay attention to what is going on in the periphery, just thinking that the other side is enough. Powerful, they can shoot arrows even when they charge each other, even if they are shot to death, they are still unclear.

The Jin army’s infantry came out of the camp. They had to stop for more than a rigorous battle after walking for a distance. That was because the other two arrows in the Han army’s trident made a persecuting posture. If they didn’t stop, they would Moving forward in a loose formation, being hit by two cavalry units of the Han army not only caused heavy casualties, but also collapsed.

　　 Xie Ping, who organized the troops to prevent the two cavalry forces from succeeding, was ordered. He was asked not to stop, and to do his best to rescue his cavalry.

　　 Xie Ping only hesitated for a moment, and the next moment he shouted: "Go ahead!"

　　The cavalry of the Jin army who attacked was the private soldiers of the Xie family, but the infantry was the army of the court. Even if Xie Ping could not bear the heart, he could sacrifice the court army and rescue the private soldiers of the family. There was no need to think about how to choose.

　　 "Oh!" Huan Wen was full of gloat: "Look, as long as there is a chance to be saved, that kid will definitely decide to sacrifice the court's army."

　　 There is nothing to laugh at. The clan or family of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a virtue. Not only Xie Shi would do it, but any family member, including Huan Wen or Yuan Qiao, would be that choice.

"The enemy general is in chaos." Yuan Qiao kept observing the overall situation on the battlefield and suggested: "Our cavalry should be divided to threaten the left and right wings of the enemy's defense line. chain."

　　 Huanwen accepted Yuan Qiao’s suggestion without any hesitation.

　　The sound of war drums began to be heard from the Han army. It was a signal of general attack. The troops in the front received instructions to attack more aggressively, while the troops behind began to move forward.

Before the two cavalry fought, the soldiers on both sides who were not killed in the battle unconsciously discovered that their space for activity was getting smaller and smaller. There were piles of corpses made up of people and horses everywhere, and the dead cavalry men or horses were filled with With arrows, it is more like a dense jungle of arrows suddenly growing on the ground.

　　 The heads of the surviving cavalry were basically blank. The Han cavalry suddenly discovered that there were their own pikemen in the battlefield, which appeared from the gap between piles of corpses, and then proceeded to harvest.

The Han pikemen who entered the battlefield raised their guns shoulder to shoulder and trot forward. When they encountered the surviving Jin cavalry, they were stabbed with more than one pike in an instant. They were there in all directions, killing the bewildered enemy army. Send the injured soldiers who fell to the ground for the last time.

The Han army fully pressed in, and the two wings of the Jin army’s defensive chain were threatened. First, the first Han army broke through the Jin army’s defensive line, followed by the second and third... until the first line of defense arranged by Xie Shi Completely lost, the isolated Jin army lost direct connection with the rear.

Xie Ping came to the side of Xie Shi who had retreated to the rear in blood. He had no extra nonsense, and immediately shouted: "Our army in front has been flanked and will soon be unable to support it. The second line of defense cannot be sustained. How long will I lead people to hold the Han army as much as possible, and the little master will lead people to break through!"

　　 After the development of self-reality became unfavorable to the Jin army, Xie Shi was in a state of tinnitus and dullness. He actually didn't remember how he retreated to the back, and he didn't know how far the situation of the battle was. He stared at Xie Ping in a daze~www.wuxiamtl.com~ There was a long ringing in his ears, he could not hear Xie Ping's voice and only saw his mouth moving.

　　 It wasn't until Xie Ping asked Xie's private soldiers to hold Xie Shi, at this time Xie Shi was a little awake from the state of complete daze.

　　 "We have lost?" Xie Shi's expression was abnormally pale: "No! We occupy the absolute advantage of the geographical position, and the force is more than the Han army. Shouldn't we fail!?"

Xie Ping ignored the Xie Shi who seemed to be talking to himself, and shouted at the family private soldier: "What are you doing? Take the little master away, and after leaving the battlefield, look for a chance to send the little master back to Jiankang! "

　　 "No, no. No!" Xie Shi began to struggle and roared: "Impossible, how can I fail? I will not go, I will definitely not go, and I can fight the Han army for another 300 rounds!"

　　 As the private soldiers of the Xie family who directly guarded Xie Shi, they must be strong and powerful. If they were not worried about hurting Xie Shi, Xie Shi could not twist his body at all. They glanced at Xie Ping, and one of the guards slashed Xie Shi's stamina with a hand knife, directly causing Xie Shi to snorted.

It is not a simple matter to want to escape from the battlefield, especially when the two armies are completely entangled. If you want to escape from the battlefield without being caught, it absolutely depends on the timing. The best way is to find someone who can hide first. The place is concealed, instead of rushing out rashly.

　　 Xie Shi woke up again and found that he couldn't see anything. When he was about to yell, his mouth was covered. The next moment he knew what he was in. He should be hiding in a cellar without light. His next move was to touch his waist. It was ashamed and resolute to want to kill himself, but he didn't touch anything...
