Chapter 185: Cutting off the enemy formation
Seeing that the enemy army retreated farther and farther, leaving the range of artillery, and was regrouping there, Pan Jie raised his waist knife and said sharply: "General order, all infantry, advance!" If there is any cowardice, cut it! ”
After speaking, the drummer on one side turned up the war drum, the drum beat lightly, and Pan Jie waved the steel knife in his hand: "Forward!" ”
With the beat of the drums, three phalanxes, huge Song infantry formations, moved forward. This was the first time that the Song army fought against the enemy with infantry without the protection of artillery fire.
Zhang Qi looked at the attacking infantry formation, held the telescope tightly with his hand, licked his lips, and felt extremely nervous. Infantry attack, of course, was learned in military schools, and it was practiced countless times, but it was not really used in real combat. For the first time, he used musket infantry formations to attack the enemy. If this attack is successful, it will block the Iric in front.
With the beat of the drum, Pan Jie looked at the Black Khan army formation in front of him, and inexplicably felt a little blurry. At this time, the sun is rising, although the cold wind is cold, the sun above the head is hot and a little weird. As an officer who was made up from the forbidden army, Pan Jie studied at the Wudu Military Academy for nearly a year, and this was the first time he participated in a battle. Without the atmosphere in the army in the past, Pan Jie always felt that the army of Hequlu was weird, this kind of weirdness, it was only felt at this time.
In the past, as long as the battle really started, except for the talented characters, most of them blindly followed the people around them, numbly carrying guns and going up step by step. After a few battles, he was lucky enough not to die, and he became a veteran, and only then did he know how to fight. Now it's different, from the moment you take the first step with a knife and a gun, your mind is clear, and you have to be awake all the time. If not, your team will be a mess. Musket troops, messy how to fight.
In the binoculars, Du Zhongxiao saw that the Song army abandoned the artillery and let the infantry go directly to kill, and said: "In the past few big victories, the role of artillery was great. This time, Zhang Qi did not use artillery, but directly used musketeers to attack the enemy formation, which was the first time. What the result is, it will have a enlightening effect on the future leaders of the troops. The range of the musketeer is longer than that of a bow and crossbow, and the bayonet in front is equivalent to a short spear, which is considered a combination of long and long-range. After a melee with the enemy, what to do is appropriate, to be honest, there is no definite conclusion until now. ”
Fu Bi said: "What's the doubt about this? The musketeers approached, and when they reached the distance, they just fired. ”
Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "It's not that simple. The lieutenant, after the musketeers fired, the enemy retreated, and it was good to say, what if the recoil? In particular, how should our side respond to the fact that the military formation is no longer strictly maintained and the stragglers are used to counterattack? Once the army formation is disrupted, the follow-up enemy rushes up and melee with our army, then it becomes a hand-to-hand fight, and the musket is useless. Therefore, when the enemy counterattacks, there should be a part of the army, at a suitable distance, fighting with the enemy with bayonets. The other centaurs must quickly block the enemy's follow-up troops. At this distance, how many personnel there are, it depends on the quality of the commander. ”
Fu Bi did not enter the military academy and was not familiar with the specific operations of the army, so after listening to Du Zhongxiao's words, he nodded and held up the binoculars.
Zhang Qi saw the army attacking in the telescope, but he felt that his mouth was dry, and he couldn't wait to put on his armor and rush to the front of the team. He was born as a fierce general, and when he used to fight, he always rushed to the front. Now I can only watch from afar, and I feel that I am not comfortable.
Illic saw that the battle of the Song army was not as dense as his own army formation, so he couldn't help clenching his fists and said to Asir: "Command the men and horses on both wings, the Song army has come out of the artillery range, let them rush up and fight desperately with the Song army!" Without the protection of the infantry, artillery is useless! ”
The artillery was so powerful that I didn't have it, so I couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so I could only stand obediently and be beaten. Now the Song army is attacking directly with infantry, without the cover of artillery fire, and it is the time for a decisive battle. The loss of men and horses just now is nothing, his own strength is almost twice as much as that of the Song army, and what is the death of a few people. As long as the Song army is finally defeated, all the losses will be worth it.
Stepping over the corpse of a black sweat soldier, Pan Jie felt that his head was a little empty, and all he could think about at this time was to fight the enemy. The beat of the drum is consistent with the pace, and even the heartbeat seems to be strangely connected to the beat.
Ten paces from the enemy's formation, the enemy's bows rained down. However, the armor of the Song army was distinct, and only three people fell to the ground, and the military formation was not chaotic.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's first round of arrow rain stopped, Pan Jie stopped and shouted: "End the gun!" - Launch! ”
As the gunshots rang out, the first row of men and horses in the front of the Black Khan army had all fallen to the ground. Some people were frightened and involuntarily ran backwards and rushed into disarray. Some of the military formations were thrown into chaos, and some grassroots military exploits even used spicy hands to cut off those who ran back and stabilized their positions.
The first platoon of the Song army retreated, and the second platoon went up, and another round of guns was rounded.
Three rows of soldiers took turns to step forward, taking turns firing their guns, and after a while, the Black Khan army formation in front of them thinned out. Pan Jie secretly sighed, raised the steel knife, and said sharply: "Forward!" ”
The Song army followed the sound of drums and pressed forward again. At this time, Hei Khan's formation was already chaotic, the archers behind were scattered, and the rain of arrows became very sparse, posing no threat to the Song army. The Song army followed the beat of the drum and unswervingly leaned towards the Black Khan army formation.
Pan Jie looked at the military array next to him, and the original commander Li Conglin was gone, replaced by Wei Liangtao. I don't know if Li Conglin was injured or killed, or if something happened when he was commanding, and Wei Liangtao came up from the next level.
The resistance of the Black Khan army just now was not fierce, it was just a round of arrow rain, and the damage was not great. In particular, they did not organize a charge, which gave the Song army time to attack calmly and gave the Song army the opportunity to fight step by step.
Du Zhongxiao was on top of the city tower, watched the two wings slowly move forward, let out a sigh, and said, "Okay, the Black Khan army has been forced together, and it is difficult for Illik in front to retreat now." By the time the two armies converged in the middle of the Black Khan's formation, the battle would be decided. ”
Fu Bi said: "Black Khan still has many soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that they will fight back." ”
Du Zhongxiao said: "Musket infantry, the difficult thing is to attack, where will you be afraid of them counterattacking?" The military formations in the rear have begun to transform into facing the enemy in front and rear, protecting the attacking military formations. Now like this, the Black Khan army has run out of options. Unless, Illic can make up his mind and immediately break through with his soldiers and horses. But can he make up his mind? In his opinion, he hasn't fought us well yet. ”
Cold weapon combat, in the huge battlefield, in fact, there is not much real contact, often a small number of elites continue to fight, constantly adding people and horses to it. Only when one side could not support it and began to rout, then a large number of people died. Unlike thermal weapons, once divided and surrounded, guns can take a large number of lives. Illik first came into contact with Song Jun and did not have that awareness.
Zhang Qi watched the left and right wings slowly converge, splitting the Black Khan's camp into two, and let out a sigh of relief. Although there were many people on the flanks, the formation was not good, and there were not many troops attacking the two flanks, and when they reached the rear, the formation was completely out of order.
Seeing the two wings of the Song army converging in the middle of his barracks, Ilik stomped his feet: "It's useless, the soldiers on both wings are useless!" Just let the Song army attack like this, don't you know the counterattack?! Hurry up and bring two generals here, I'm going to punish him heavily! ”
(Happy National Day to all!) )
