Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 519 Spear and Shield 【Subscription】

After two rounds of arrow rain, the Khitan cavalry in the front line skillfully hung up their bows and arrows, and took off the weapons hanging from the rings.It's either a mace, or an iron bone, or it's just a thick iron rod.The Khitan cavalry in the front row are equipped with heavy weapons.

Because they knew that the Han army they were dealing with had a solid defense, they had heavy shields and long shields, all of them were wearing heavy armor, and there was even a circle of carriages full of food on the outermost side of the front line.If you want to break the formation with one blow, you can only use heavy weapons!

At the same time, the sword players at the forefront of the Liangshan Army are also preparing for the battle.

They bit their lips tightly, stepped steadily, with their long cards slanted on their shoulders, and their bodies turned slightly.Just waiting for the impact to come!But they did not approach the array of wagons, but seemed to make them only a hindrance.

The arrows flying in the sky continued, like dark clouds covering the sky, and like buzzing swarms of bees, always floating above people's heads, and constantly causing casualties.

An infantry soldier who can still stand under the impact of the cavalry group, a strong force like the Liangshan Army, caused extremely terrible casualties to the cavalry.Not mentioning the damage caused by the speed of the collision, just talking about the previous bow and crossbow is enough to make a small group of cavalry drink a pot!
But today the situation is reversed.Those with few people are infantry, and those with many people are cavalry.

The cavalry in the front row had become sparse under the rain of arrows and crossbows. When they came to the carriage line, they had to bear a round of throwing weapons such as hatchets and spears.

Of the three or two hundred cavalry in the forefront, only three or four out of ten were able to rush to the front of the carriage against the rain of arrows.But these casualties can only be said to be drizzle compared with the entire cavalry group.And this simple obstacle defense line is obviously impossible to stop the surging Khitan cavalry.

However, the damage that the Khitan cavalry had to suffer earlier was what the cavalry had to go through when they charged.If the Liangshan army is fully prepared, and the same number of infantry is taught to stick to one place, it is impossible for the same number of cavalry to impulsively form such an army.

But the advantage of cavalry is speed. They will not attack the well-prepared infantry formation, and at the same time they will not give enough time for the infantry to form slowly.Like now!
There is not enough time to pull away the livestock, arrange the carriages in front of the formation, and assemble the soldiers.Therefore, the formation of the Liangshan Army seems to be out of joint, with shields, walls and guns in the front, and heavy infantry in the rear.At the same time, the carriages in front of the array and on the left and right are too thin.

However, in the field battle, isn't the cavalry fighting just a time difference?
like now.The Liangshan Army, who hastily faced off, took advantage of it at first glance, but their rain of arrows could not stop the galloping cavalry from charging.One by one Khitan cavalry galloped forward, piercing the rear of the horse with their blades, and then slipped off the back of the crazy horse like apes, and was pulled up by the following companions.Then, the war horses slammed into the carriage fiercely in the midst of madness, just like a violent and stormy wave hitting a weak embankment.Destroying the entire dam bit by bit!The arrows and crossbows of the Liangshan Army could not restrain their charge.

But flames can!

When a large group of Khitan cavalry rushed across the carriage line and hit the shield wall and gun forest some distance later, rockets suddenly fell from the sky, knocking away the carriages one after another, and throwing bags of The sack that was thrown into the air was completely ignited.These places where firelighters such as sulfur and saltpeter were placed, or where they were soaked in grease, were instantly ignited.The raging fire instantly rose between the two armies!

On the battlefield, a loud bang directly overwhelmed the sound of horseshoes.

This was a big collision between the cavalry group and the infantry battle line. Blood was splashed everywhere, screams were endless, and countless lives were lost in this collision.

Countless figures flew up and landed in the army formation. There were flying Khitan cavalry, and there were also soldiers who were knocked into the Liangshan Mountain.At the moment of the collision, they were all punished according to the eternal physical rules of the material universe.

Human strength cannot stop galloping war horses, and when the flesh and blood of a horse faces a spear, only the horse will be destroyed.

The blood was like rain from the sky, spilled wantonly.

The sound of screams and fractures continued continuously.

Just a face to face!
The cavalrymen were pierced by the spears and spears one by one, and the horses were picked off; the horses were also stabbed to the ground by the spears and spears, and the speed and damage were always relative.Even if a car hits a person, there will be traces left on the iron shell.Now the horses of the Liao army hit a 'wall'.

Under the inertia of physics, while the big spears and spears were broken one after another, the war horses also finished their "horse life" with a sharp wail.Along with them, the cavalry on their backs, and the Liangshan saber players behind the shield wall, and even the infantry in heavy armor holding big spears and spears, died together.Even if the high-speed war horses are pierced into a honeycomb by a big gun and spear, the power is relative. When their dead bodies rush into the infantry formation at a very high speed, the Liangshan army armored soldiers on the opposite side will inevitably be killed. The bones and tendons of the collision were broken, which was terrible.

The cruel and bloody scene and the powerful impact of the cavalry were clearly revealed at this moment.

The neat shield wall in the front row was smashed to pieces at the moment of contact, and countless gaps appeared.At the moment when the subsequent Khitan cavalry risked their lives, the front line of shields, walls and spears of the battalion-level infantry array was obviously too fragile.

If there was no burning fire, the follow-up Khitan cavalry would never waste the results of the battle that the former army comrades had exchanged with their own lives and blood.

They would step on the corpses of the soldiers and horses of the two armies without any gap, swarm in from the gap, enter a sharp iron chisel, and chisel towards the inside of the formation without stopping.Until the formation of the Liangshan Army was penetrated, crushed, and eliminated.

At this time, this battle has become a contest between sharp spears and shields.Spear and shield, this metaphor is very suitable for the Khitan cavalry army and Liangshan army.

And the result will be determined, the spear will win.Because the number of Liangshan Army is really too small.

It is enough to prove that the shield, wall and gun forest at the front was submerged by the cavalry after failing to last even a quarter of an hour under the crazy impact of the Khitan cavalry.

The surging Khitan cavalry stopped before the fire.Animals are afraid of flames, this is their nature, and no one can change it.

Yelu Yu saw that he wanted to go crazy, this was not what he had imagined.The scene he imagined was - after the iron hooves passed, the battlefield was like a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood, all the Liangshan troops fell to the ground, and the corpses of all the soldiers and horses were trampled to pieces, making them inhuman.Even some have really turned into meat paste.

Blood stained the whole earth!

But now they had to dodge before the fire, Liang Shanjun's move caught them by surprise.In this way, a large group of Khitan cavalry can only pass through the space of the zigzag array.

Arrows fell like rain, and all the people in the three separate battalions were drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the fastest speed.

Li Ying took a deep breath.His general flag has just disappeared, but he is not dead.His high-strength martial arts allowed him to survive the charge of the Khitan cavalry.After being baptized by the Khitan cavalry, not to mention what happened to the other two battalions at the first level, just look at the current array where the flying eagle is located, half of the shields and spears in the front row have fallen.

In the short collision, at least a hundred people were killed here.

The sword-shieldmen and heavy-armored spearmen deployed in front of Li Ying were almost wiped out, so he was violently attacked by the Khitan cavalry.

Most of Li Ying's personal guards were also killed or wounded, and the few remaining people gathered around him like bloody men holding swords and shields.

At this moment, Pu Tiandiao's feet were not on the stirrups, but on the ground.Helpless, facing the crazy offensive of the Khitan cavalry, he was lucky to be able to take care of himself. The horse under his crotch was hit on the forehead with an ax without realizing it, and the entire head was almost split in half.It was also because he saw the opportunity quickly and slid straight back down the horse's back, so that he was not crushed by the horse's corpse.Later, under the desperate cover of the personal guards, he gained a firm foothold!

And when he swiped three throwing knives and was about to kill the last three Khitan soldiers, he realized that his general flag had been cut off by a certain Khitan cavalry.

The flag was chopped off, whether it was capturing the flag or not, it was very demoralizing.But the morale of the Liangshan army did not change much, because at that time they were doing their best to deal damage to the outside world.

The forest of shields, walls, and guns at the front was smashed to pieces, and then a group of heavy armored infantry gathered. They had not experienced the strong erosion of the Khitan cavalry flow. Bending the bow and shooting arrows with all their strength, who still has the heart to see the general flag?

This is a small formation of 500 people, not a large formation of 5000 or 5 people!
Whether Li Ying died or not, you can know if you yell.What's more, there is not only Li Ying in the army, but also the battalion commander and battalion deputy.

Three hundred heavy armored infantry gathered densely, this is the best way to deal with the cavalry attack, if the flames at the front cannot stop the Khitan cavalry.This is planning for a rainy day.

It is also the choice that Zhao Song Bujia will make when facing the Liao army and the Xixia army since the Northern Song Dynasty.When they are full of strength, when they are full of energy, when their number reaches a certain number, even if there is no shield, wall and gun forest in the front line, the cavalry will only walk away when they see them.It will definitely not be the kind of fearless slamming head-on just now!
A tide of cavalry passed by, submerging the three small battalion-level military formations, and the dust was flying around, blocking sight, and it seemed that everything was about to settle.But when the smoke dissipated, it was like a sea tide passing over the rocks on the shore, and the extremely fast horses passed by, and the rows of Liangshan Army infantry were revealed again.

The tide can submerge the reefs, but they will eventually recede, and in this case, the solid reefs will be revealed again.

This is a common scene when infantry and cavalry collide. After the tide washes, the infantry may suffer a lot of losses, but it will only be the sandcastle that will be completely destroyed by the tide, not the hard rock.

None of the three camps lost much, not just the current one.The three battalions are combined, and the specific loss is only 200 people.

Seeing that Yeluyu didn't look back, he led the Khitan cavalry towards the north, without turning around in a big circle, and without galloping fast towards the way they came.Even the herds of cattle, horses and livestock behind the zigzag array were ignored.

What can't you figure out now?The Liangshan Army's ability to deal with it like this is obviously luring the enemy, luring them to attack.

At this time they have been tricked!
But at this moment, going back the same way is definitely the stupidest and stupidest choice. It is a wise decision to go north quickly and tear this trap.

Yelu Yujian could only rejoice in his heart that he attacked early enough instead of waiting until the Liangshan Army was on the west side.The consequences of that are even worse, because there are too many mountains and hills on the west side of Nanjing City.Available for infantry to block.
