Chapter 409: You Come and I Go
The bows and arrows of the Ming army are much stronger than the soldiers, from Burma to Sichuan, these archers have almost not fallen in a battle, and they are generally in the rear of the military formation, the Ming army has never been defeated, so they are experienced and have little damage.
The archers began to pull the strings towards the sky and shoot at an angle, an age when there were no high-altitude images, so many of them didn't know they had missed their target.
But they didn't have to worry about this, and soon the banner of the army came, and many people looked up and knew that the bow and arrow just now had shot too far and did not hit anyone, and it was almost fifty paces away from people.
So they immediately followed the feeling that the second wave of arrows shot out again, and this time they knew that they had hit without looking at the flag, because there was already a scream from the front.
Then they habitually looked up at the flag, for they were not sure whether they had really shot the enemy or their own people.
Seeing that the flag was correct, the archers began to attack according to this feeling.
The place where the two armies in front of them fought was already full of fallen soldiers, some of whom were killed by their own bows and arrows, but many more were killed by the enemy's bows and arrows.
Relatively speaking, the damage of the Ming Dynasty's army is smaller, because the shield in the hands of their shield bearers is an iron shield, and the shield players under Wang Jinbao are not only few, but most of the shields are made of wood, which can only protect the head and neck, and they can't protect themselves, let alone protect the people behind them.
Because Wang ~ Fuchen is good at fighting with cavalry, infantry combat is not his strong point, so Wang Jinbao did not go all out to guard against the archers, so he suffered a big loss.
However, Wang Jinbao is also a general of the four Han Dynasty in Hexi, if he only has this ability, it is inevitably a bit exaggerated, he immediately sent the adjutant general next to him to report to Daniel Zhang: "Tell the marshal, transfer more cavalry, and the army formation here will immediately collapse." ”
Wang Jinbao's adjutant general rushed to the military formation, Daniel Zhang was already anxious, to be honest, the previous big victory made him selectively forget his fear of Wang ~ auxiliary ministers, and now this memory is slowly recovering.
Anyone who has read history knows that if Xiang Yu is given 800 people, Liu Bang is given 800 people, and the two of them are allowed to fight, Liu Bang will definitely be eaten by Xiang Yu to the bone. The effect of individual martial arts in a small area of combat is enormous.
But when the large-scale military array was fighting, Han Xin was able to fully mobilize his forces and exhaust Xiang Yu's sharpness alive.
Daniel Zhang now uses more than 20,000 people against the 15,000 people of Wang ~ Auxiliary Minister, which can be regarded as evenly matched, this is still because his ability is there, if he changes a general, it is estimated that he has been beaten by Wang ~ Auxiliary Minister.
So when he heard that Wang Jinbao was going to mobilize cavalry over, he frowned: "How many cavalry do you need?" ”
"Three thousand."
Daniel Zhang quickly summed up in his heart: "The maximum can send five hundred cavalry to support, if you send three thousand cavalry, the military array here will not be able to hold it." ”
The corners of the adjutant general's mouth were a little bitter: "Marshal, the cavalry of the military formation opposite us are all new melon eggs, as long as there are enough people, they can wipe out all their cavalry when they get there, and then their military formation will become lambs to be slaughtered." ”
Daniel Zhang stretched out his hand and pointed: "Come and see, if three thousand cavalry are taken away here, will I become a lamb to the slaughter?" ”
The adjutant general could only be silent, and then Daniel Zhang quickly transferred five hundred cavalry in the military formation, and said to the adjutant general: "Tell Wang Jinbao that he didn't have so many problems in the war, let him show his skills, if he is afraid of death in the war, it is better to go home and farm!" ”
The adjutant general returned to the army formation with five hundred cavalry, Wang Jinbao heard the words brought by Daniel Zhang, his face was red and white, but the adjutant general also said about the situation over there, Wang Jinbao knew that this kind of thing could not rely on the advantage of troops to devour the enemy army, and his own cavalry was not very many, so he immediately began to deploy.
His strategy is to devour the cavalry first, and then slowly consume the Chinese army, the cavalry has a natural advantage over the foot soldiers, as long as the cavalry side he controls, this battle should be able to eat.
But Cheng Xiaolian is not a fool, Wang ~ Fuchen's side of the war has his own ability to control the situation, after all, after so many battles, without him Cheng Xiaolian, Wang ~ Fuchen has withstood the same, so most of his attention is on his own military formation, seeing that Wang Jinbao has transferred cavalry again, he finally understands Wang Jinbao's thoughts.
"Meng Ke, charge!"
Cheng Xiaolian's idea is also very simple, since you Wang Jinbao want to destroy my cavalry first, then I will destroy your infantry first, as long as your infantry loses combat effectiveness, my cavalry can rely on the infantry to start fighting with your cavalry.
Then he shouted at Huang Fu Tong again: "Huang Fu Tong, take your cavalry and start going around in circles, not to kill, but to survive!" ”
Huangfu Tong felt this grievance in his heart, originally he thought that he was able to charge into battle with the cavalry, who knew that he would find the gap when he fought a hand, although these brothers around him had no problem riding horses, but they really had no experience in fighting on horses, and some people still thought about how to fight on the horse when they were foot soldiers, and as a result, they were killed if they couldn't go past a round.
But there was no good solution to this problem for a while, and their riding skills were good, and it was enough to go around in circles, so the cavalry on both wings opened the circle and began to go around.
Wang Jinbao would definitely not let the cavalry deal with the foot soldiers before he destroyed the main cavalry of the enemy, because at that time, it was easy to be killed by the cavalry on the opposite side, and then the victory would be defeated. So he ordered the cavalry to continue the pursuit of the enemy cavalry.
At this time, Meng Ke had reappeared in everyone's sight, a person's strength was limited, it was impossible to fire bows and arrows indefinitely, after seven or eight dials, the density of bows and arrows had decreased a lot, and Meng Ke took his Modao team and immediately began to charge.
This time he can make up his mind, he must go deep into the enemy's military formation, because only in this way, the local archers will not dare to release arrows, as mentioned earlier, this is all flat ground, the archers can't see the target at all, and then release the arrows, and most of the deaths will be their own people.
I saw Meng Ke wielding a double hammer and rushed into the military formation, those who had seen him just now, some of them had been killed by bows and arrows, so there were still many people rushing up, Meng Ke put his hands together, and the two hammers swept side by side, and the four or five soldiers in front of him didn't even have the ability to resist, and directly smashed their heads with sledgehammers.
The Mo Dao team behind him was not to be outdone, like a machine, took a step, and swung the Mo Dao out with a brush, and the row of people in front of him was directly cut off, and some of them did not die immediately, and a miserable cry immediately came from the battlefield.
