Chapter 782 Shaking the Mountain, Shaking the Gao Family's Army is Difficult Nine
When the Iron Harrier Armored Cavalry took the lead in crashing into the Song army's large array, the commanders of the two armies on the battlefield, Gao Yongnian and Brother Cha, both held their breath at the same time.
It's a line between life and death!
The impact of the Iron Harrier is a one-shot deal, and if it is broken, it will win a big victory, and if it can't break the opponent, it will start the most ferocious hand-to-hand combat. If you want to fight hand-to-hand, you can't be sure of victory.
"Crash in!"
Standing on the stirrup and stretching his neck to watch the battle, Chage shouted loudly, and at this moment he had an urge to drive his horse forward to join the battle group.
Now that the "Khitan Dad" has personally ended, it is the time when the morale of the party warriors is the highest, and the Song army is the most panicked. If the Song army can't be destroyed in one fell swoop, then what hope does the Great White High Kingdom have?
"Boys, hold on!"
Gao Yongnian also shouted, because he had already seen the war horse of the Iron Harrier of the Party slammed into the Song army that was in formation.
The war horse neighed and slammed a human body into the air. The shouts and screams were all in one. The center of the Song army's battle array suddenly showed signs of collapse!
But...... After all, it hasn't collapsed yet!
Gao Yongnian gritted his teeth violently, hit the horse and rushed out, shouting loudly as he rushed: "We are all dead!" I can only survive in death, and those who have received the emperor's favor will come with me, and today I will fight this life with Liao Dog and Dangxiang Dog! ”
Northwest boys have always been able to endure hard fighting. Even though the Iron Harriers facing the Party and the armored cavalry of the Khitan pressed at the same time, most of the Song troops on the battlefield still gritted their teeth and persisted. Seeing Gao Yongnian galloping towards with utility, the Song Army's arrow array, which had been broken through by the Iron Harrier, also gritted his teeth and held on!
The traditional arrow array of the Song army is different from the horizontal formation of the Xinfu soldiers, the arrow array is roughly boxy, very thick, with many layers, and can usually be lined up in more than a dozen rows. Although it was not a spear in each person's hand, it was not easy for the cavalry to crush them in one fell swoop. If you change to the dummy army of the born girl Zhen Gundam or Wu Haogu, form a squad of armored cavalry, take turns to launch a wall charge, and rush a few or more than a dozen waves, it will definitely be able to break away.
But that's not how the Iron Harriers fought, they swarmed up one after another. And in this kind of impact that is not divided into levels and the formation is chaotic, the real impact force is actually the iron harrier at the front. No matter how powerful they are, how many layers of Song Army's array can they overcome? That's an array of heavy infantry!
And after a burst of impact, the iron harriers did not retreat to attack again, but began to fight hand-to-hand!
However, the hand-to-hand combat ability of these Iron Harrier cavalry, which was relied on by Xixia as the reliance of Mount Tai, is actually very ordinary - Iron Harrier is not a competition, but a reincarnation! And the forbidden army and archers in the Western Army's arrow array are not weaker than the Iron Harriers in terms of personal bravery, but they are fighting men who rely on killing people for wealth. Even a crossbowman with a bow and arrow crossbow machine can fight with an iron harrier with a straight knife. Moreover, Gao Yongnian also brought two or three hundred utility armor soldiers to drive horses into the battle.
These effects are all dead soldiers raised by Gao Yongnian who has led the soldiers for many years, and they are used desperately at critical moments! Seeing that they were divided into several teams, they drilled into the gap between several arrow arrays and launched a counterattack against the iron harriers that broke through.
All kinds of long blades swirled, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways. The Iron Harrier, which had already been resisted by the infantry of the Song army with flesh and blood, suddenly lost its last impact. The soldiers on both sides started a hand-to-hand fight that consumed human lives.
In the rest of the Song front, it was the Western Xia garrison that was responsible for the assault. Their combat effectiveness was a little worse than that of the Iron Harrier, and they did not have Qingtang armor and equipment, so they were killed and injured by the Song army's arrow rain in the process of impact, and the impact was even weaker. If it weren't for the high morale of the "Khitan Dad" soldiers, they would have been repulsed a long time ago. Although they did not retreat now, they could not break the battle formation of the Song army, and they also fell into a bitter battle.
At this time, Xiao Heda also rushed into the dark battlefield with his own soldiers, and rushed straight to Gao Yongnian, who was shouting and fighting.
Unlike the party leaders on the battlefield, he knew very well how good the combat effectiveness of the 6,000 armored cavalry under the command of Yeluyerat was.
These 6,000 outfits are all drawn from the various palace guards, most of them are still on the battlefield for the first time, and they usually eat fasting and chanting Buddha more than when they are riding horses and archery, as for the armor and cavalry charging into battle or something, it seems that it has never been the work of the Khitan people.
Therefore, the main role of the 6,000 Great Liao's iron horsemen is to scare the Song people. As for the other 24,000 cavalry, it is even more useless, of which 4,000 are light cavalry serving as scouts, and 20,000 are so-called grass and valley soldiers and garrison soldiers, that is, auxiliary soldiers.
The best role of these 30,000 Liao soldiers is to shock the hearts of the Song army and boost the morale of the party members by the way. If you really want to let them go to the battlefield, forget it, if they are defeated by the Great Song Western Army who jumped over the wall in a hurry, it will be a loss in the whole game......
Therefore, today's fight still has to rely on the party members themselves!
Of course, Yelu Utra knew what kind of virtue the old soldier he was carrying, he was not a guy like Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, and Xiao Sixian who had reached the pinnacle of life without seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He has been competing with Mogusi for many years on the Prairie, and he has long known how unbearable Da Liao's iron cavalry is. In today's Daliao, only the 20,000 tribal soldiers of the Zhenzhou Jian'an Army, which has been stationed in the grassland for a long time, can really fight, and the rest of the departments can only pretend!
Therefore, after leading the Liao soldiers into the northeast corner of the battlefield, Yeluyutera began to grind, slowly arranging the troops, and advancing at a high speed. Although the horns were about to break, the snare drums were beating loudly, and all kinds of military flags were shaking happily. However, the armored cavalry that charged into battle was not ready for a long time...... Just when the battle on the battlefield was at its most intense, the first general of the Khitans, Yeluyute who swept across the grassland, waved his big hand and ordered: "Accumulate horsepower!" ”
That's right, it's horsepower. The horses are tired, and they have to rest for a while before they can attack.
What the? Changing horses? Hearing that a subordinate suggested changing horses and charging into battle, the old man snorted, and threw a roll of his eyes: Didn't you see that there were already five or six thousand Song troops in front of him who had set up an arrow array and a gun formation? People are the elite of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty who have been fighting with the party for decades! Can you be impulsive with these unfortunate things?
The old man withdrew his gaze, stood up on his stirrups, and began to squint at the battlefield ahead.
The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of golden drums came in bursts! This formation was much more vigorous than in the decisive battle with the Hindu Keret tribe on the steppe.
Although the warriors of the Kereb tribe were fierce, their weapons were too poor. Not to mention the armor, even the arrows of the bow and arrow are mostly made of animal bones, so they don't dare to fight the Khitan army. And it is really set to fight, and it is not the opponent of the well-armed and ferocious Zhenzhou Jian'an Army.
But the Song army in front of him was covered with iron armor all over his body, and the degree of ferocity was not at all under the obstruction, even if he saw the Khitan army of 30,000 and was attacked by the 40,000 party army, he did not retreat and fought to the death.
And such an elite can only be regarded as second-rate in the Song army! If their most powerful three-straight army comes here, I'm afraid that the 70,000 allied forces of the Khitan and the party will only be defeated, right?
When Yeluot dragged on slowly, the heart of the planter was hanging in his throat, and he was now ready to sacrifice his life for the country.
I'm definitely going to die here today!
After all, on the opposite side is the powerful Khitan Iron Cavalry! And that's so much...... It seems that this time it is really going to die on the battlefield!
Although he was scared to death in his heart, the old man's mouth was not frightened at all, and he shouted loudly: "The Khitan dog thief is just like this, and he doesn't dare to move when he sees our arrow array!"
The brothers all fucking yelled at me twice: Da Song ...... Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
"Wansheng ......"
The cheers of the Song army swept across the battlefield and reached the ears of Cha Ge, who was watching the battle. He is also dying now, and he has already taken his own soldiers to the front line. Directly planted the Wang Qi in the back of the iron harriers, Shang Fangling also pinched the hammer in his hand, if anyone dared to retreat, it would be hammered first.
His own soldiers also carried knives and axes and pulled out a long, sparse line in front, and more than a dozen spears were stuck in the ground, each with a bloody head that had just been cut off on the tip of the spear! All of them are the heads of iron harriers and garrison soldiers who retreated without permission!
The defender of Qin Wangchuan City, Zhuo Luo and Cao Mian, the commander of the Southern Military Division, had already assembled the elite of 2,000 foreign soldiers at this time, and held 2,000 strong men selected from the negative army, and put up a four-thousand-person infantry formation.
After finishing the battle, the general of the Western Xia Han people, who had been guarding the city of Qinwang Chuan for several months, drove his horse to Cha Ge and shouted for battle: "King, let the last general take his sons into battle!" ”
Brother Cha nodded vigorously: "Cao Tongjun, you quickly take Erlang to detour to the west of the Song camp and storm it!" Be sure to make more noise! ”
"Whoa!"
When Cao Mian shouted the order to leave, Gao Yongnian had already been found by Xiao Heda. However, the two did not fight alone, Gao Yongnian is not a brainless reckless man, it is enough for him to go to the front line in person, and it would be irresponsible to go up and fight the barbarians. And he's an old man in his fifties, why can't he fight with Xiao Heda, who is in his twenties?
However, his performance on the battlefield still let Xiao Heda know that he was a big man. A god arm crossbow that I didn't know where to pick up had already been loaded with arrows, held in Xiao Heda's hand, and aimed at Gao Yongnian, who was dozens of steps away.
Xiao Heda pulled the bracket on the crossbow machine, and then there was a sound of metal and bowstrings.
The crossbow arrow came out of the string, and it shot right in Gao Yongnian's right chest impartially, and the crossbow arrow broke through the armor, Gao Yongnian screamed miserably and fell on the horse's back!
