Chapter 132: Pretty Enough
There are living places and there are battles, but the way of fighting has been changing, from the earliest throwing of stones and wooden sticks to each other, to the later bronze and iron horses, and cold weapons
lasted for an extremely long time.
Even if hot weapons appear, they must gradually replace cold weapons, at least in the fifth year of the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, the proportion of cold weapons is much higher than that of new firearms.
Take the Southwest Army as an example, although the Ningzhou Army and the Hanzhou Army in the Southwest Army each have firearms battalions, the number of firearms battalion officers and soldiers is far inferior to that of conventional troops, and whether it is Mu Ying or Li Shuo, they are all generals who can wear armor and charge into battle!
After the two sides fought together, if the formation of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was loosened, it would be fought by the Ningzhou Army in a group, so the command of the Forbidden Army quickly adjusted the formation, and met with the Ningzhou Army in accordance with the battle formation of close combat.
Compared with the formation of the forbidden army, the formation of the Ningzhou army is much tighter, the three soldiers of the Ningzhou army are a team, and they take care of each other when they rush into the formation.
Although he had never been a soldier in his previous life, he had somewhat learned some knowledge about war, and knew that this kind of three-person squad was one of the most efficient combat formations.
Li Shuo rode on a horse and also rushed into the battle array, this slightly fair-skinned general, seeing that the formation of the forbidden army had been densely packed, immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "The whole army listens to the order and retreats towards the main formation!" ”
At this time, on the battlefield, the Ningzhou army still had a slight upper hand, but these Ningzhou army officers and soldiers quickly reflected their military quality, after Li Shuo gave an order, these people immediately began to retreat in an organized manner, and after the separation of the human hall, the retreating formation was not chaotic, and did not cause a large number of casualties to their own side.
The position they fought was only a few hundred steps away from the formation of the Ningzhou army, and after only a while, they withdrew to their own formation, and the people of the forbidden army chased after them like maggots attached to the bones, and when they were only about fifty steps away from the Ningzhou army, Li Shuo's voice came again: "Throw the thunder, throw the thunder!" ”
At this time, the formation of the forbidden army was no longer loose, and the grenadiers who had been waiting in the formation finally waited for the opportunity, and immediately threw off their arms and threw the ignited thunder into the formation of the forbidden army.
The thunder in the southwest is much more powerful than the thunder in the imperial court, dozens or hundreds of thunderbolts are thrown down, so that the slightly more concentrated forbidden army formation is immediately chaotic, several rounds of thunder are thrown down, chasing the forbidden army in the camp of the Ningzhou army, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and quickly ordered to retreat.
At this time, where was Li Shuo willing to let them go, a few rounds of thunder came down, and when the forbidden army retreated in embarrassment, the Ningzhou general personally led people to chase after them, and chased and killed these elite of the forbidden army!
However, these Gyeonggi forbidden troops, once they withdrew from the enveloped range of the heavenly thunder, began to turn back and counterattack, collided head-on with the Ningzhou army, and cut off their firearms, these forbidden troops were not afraid of the Ningzhou army.
The two sides just come and go, and the battle situation is extremely stale!
At the same time, Li Xin, who had cleared the cavalry of the forbidden army on both wings, also arrived at the frontal battlefield with hundreds of firecrackers, and Li Xin quickly ordered these firecrackers to stand in front of the grenadiers, and the direction of hundreds of firecrackers was all aimed at the direction of the forbidden army.
Li Shuo led people to charge the front line, and the command of the rear was taken over by Li Xin, who led hundreds of firecrackers and nearly a thousand grenadiers, and began to be guarded by shield soldiers, no longer holding the position, but slowly advancing forward.
Once they are shrouded by the firearms of the Southwest Army, these Gyeonggi Forbidden Army will slowly retreat, but as soon as they withdraw, Li Shuo and others will find an opportunity to bite hard.
After a few rounds, the formation of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army slowly became a little scattered.
Finally, in the afternoon, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was a little unable to support it, and the general in charge of leading the troops this time waved his hand, and the Forbidden Army began to sing gold.
At this time, the situation in Ningzhou on the battlefield was completely good, the formation of the forbidden army was scattered, and it was impossible to pose any threat to the Ningzhou army camp in a short period of time.
The battle of tens of thousands of people is extremely spectacular, that is, one of the parties wants to withdraw, because the number is too large, it is impossible to say that it will withdraw, the forbidden army is under the command of its general, leaving thousands of people behind, and the others slowly retreat to the capital.
Li Shuo was unforgiving, his face was covered with blood, he led people to bite the tail of the forbidden army, and after more than an hour, two or three thousand people in the forbidden army died in the hands of the Ningzhou army.
Even so, the battle lasted from morning to evening, and when the sun had almost set, the Southwestern Army gave up the pursuit and began to retreat slowly.
The sun was setting in the west, shining on a messy battlefield, and as far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was corpses, except for the scorched earth.
Li Shuo, who was covered in blood, fought for a whole day, although he rested a few times halfway, but he was still a little out of strength, and after the soldiers of the two sides completely disengaged, the general of the Ningzhou army, breathed air violently, and his body was a little weak and collapsed on the ground.
Li Xin, who was wearing black armor, walked over, he bent over and squatted beside Li Shuo, first checked the injuries on Li Shuo's body, and after finding no particularly large wounds, he asked, "Is it okay?" ”
"It's fine."
Li Shuo sat on the ground and gasped: "Big ...... Mostly enemy blood. ”
Ordinary people who have not been trained, fighting for life and death for a quarter of an hour, under the burst of adrenaline, may have to lose their strength, not to mention that they have been fighting almost all day like Li Shuo, unless it is a natural fierce general like Ye Mao, it is already very rare to be able to do Li Shuo like this.
Even Li Xin, who has practiced family boxing for more than ten years, leads the troops to rush into battle, and most of them will not be much stronger than Li Shuo.
"You are the general of Ningzhou, just sit in command in the rear, there is no need to be like this...... Desperately. ”
Li Shuo sat on the ground, he had already recovered a little, his voice was a little hoarse because of dehydration: "Brother said, the Ningzhou army should fight more beautifully, and the Hanzhou army can't be allowed to gossip......"
"The generals of the Ningzhou Army... Most of them are the old departments of the army back then, and I don't take the lead in rushing, they ...... Refuse to die. ”
Li Xin frowned, untied the water bladder from his waist, handed it to Li Shuo, and said: "Since you know this, you can't use all the people in the army as generals, the Hou Mansion has disappeared, you Li Shuo is not to rebuild the army, use it that should be used, don't use it if you don't use it, you are the general of Ningzhou, you should control people, not people." ”
Li Shuo took a long sip of water, then covered it with a water bladder and gasped.
"Brother... The lesson is. ”
At this time, he looked left and right at the battlefield, and said with a wry smile: "The elite level of the forbidden army is far beyond my imagination, they can stubbornly resist the firearms and still rush forward, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have taken people out to fight with them." ”
Speaking of this, he looked up at Li Xin and asked, "Brother, this battle ...... How's it going? ”
General Li looked in the direction of the capital and muttered.
"Perhaps...... It's pretty enough. ”
