Chapter 541: Storm and Clouds (2)
The installation process of the Divine Arm Crossbow is very cumbersome. ++ Even if these crossbowmen had undergone rigorous training, they would not have been able to be installed again in a very short period of time. It was not until the front battle fell into a bitter battle that the crossbowmen hurriedly completed a series of tedious tasks such as pulling the spring, loading the arrow, buckling the lock, and lifting the aim.
After the order to fire a salvo was issued, as the generals of the crossbow array roared loudly, under the continuous sound of "Woo Woo ~~~", there was a large wave of arrows like dark clouds suddenly rose into the air, whistling through the sky, flying towards the place where the two sides met.
The raging rain of arrows swept a large area in an instant. Whether it is a Jurchen armor soldier or a soldier of the victorious army, all of them are baptized indiscriminately. The area where the two sides were fighting was emptied in an instant, leaving only a dense pile of arrows like wild grass and corpses all over the ground.
The continuous impact of the Jurchen armor warriors like an endless tide was contained by the sudden rain of arrows. Once again, there was a brief gap on the battlefield.
Then on this rare opportunity, the victorious army hurriedly sorted out the battle line and filled the void. The cowards in the army formation were also quickly suppressed, and the entire battle formation quickly settled down.
Wanyan Zongwang, who had excellent eyes, shook the whip in his hand fiercely, and whipped one of the guards on the side off the horse. "Just a little bit!" Wan Yan Zongwang's face was flushed and panting heavily, and the teeth in his mouth were about to be bitten apart!
The good opportunity that had been made with such a big sacrifice and lost so many warriors was interrupted. By the time the armor soldiers in the back row pounced again, the main formation of the Changsheng army had already recovered its formation. The scene is back to the beginning. If you want to do it all over again, you'll have to pay for more lives!
Wanyan Zongwang didn't care about the lives of the soldiers, even if they were all soldiers of the Jurchen clan. However, there are not enough people! Playing in a formation with your life means a huge loss. Originally, the number of Jurchen armor soldiers was not as good as those heavily armored soldiers in the main formation of the Changsheng army, and the loss of charging the battle with their lives was greater, and this kind of combat method could not be used a few times at all!
Now he has no other way, although the new annexes on both wings have the advantage in numbers, they are not strong in battle. Although it was very lively, it was impossible to make a decisive breakthrough in a short period of time.
Wanyan Zongwang didn't want to send his own reserve team now, and it wasn't that time yet, so let's take a look. Hopefully there will be a breakthrough next time.
Gao Yang raised his hand, and the large number of heavily armored cavalrymen in armor behind him all stood with solemn expressions. Most of them are elite veterans of the victorious army, and they are not as flustered as the recruits after many bloody battles.
These veterans are determined and brave, ready to go, majestic and murderous. I was already ready for battle.
The fat and strong horses under the crotch opened their noses and neighed, their eyes were wide open, their ears were erect, and they kept shaking their noses and shaking their hooves. Everyone is waiting for Gao Yang's military order, ready to gallop across the battlefield at any time.
Gao Yang was nervously judging the situation on the battlefield. Although the two wings are still holding each other at the moment, they are obviously at a disadvantage. Although it can continue to hold out for some time now, if there is no decisive trend, it is only a matter of time before it is defeated.
This formation has now eased its footing. As long as they can hold on and inflict heavy damage on that Jurchen hoplite, it will immediately change the situation on the battlefield.
Once the victorious army was able to defeat the Jurchen heavy infantry units, they could sweep towards both flanks with the assistance of the crossbowmen. Cooperate with the two flanks to sweep away the new annexes that are large in number, but not strong in battle.
At that time, Gao Yang will personally lead the most elite cavalry troops to attack Yan Zongwang's main formation, completely establishing the victory of this battle!
After most of the day's exposure. Although the ground was still very wet at the moment, it was enough to allow the cavalry to run. Although it will be very dangerous, it is very likely that many cavalry will be lost before they can reach the enemy. But that's no longer the case.
Gao Yang is also waiting, waiting for the victory of this formation!
Courage should be something that comes out of nowhere. It may not be difficult to drum up, but it is difficult to keep it going. Not to mention the courage of not one person, but thousands!
After the first wave of ferocious pounces of the Jurchen armorers was interrupted by a rain of arrows, the morale of the remaining Jurchen armorers began to decline.
However, after all, they are the elite of the old battle, and they are also extremely brave in their nature, and after a short pause, the Jurchen armor soldiers in the rear team once again mustered up their courage and rushed towards the main formation of the Changsheng army, which had once again completed the formation.
Another bloody fight, life for life. The heavy armor on his body did not do much in front of sharp weapons. With his hands clenched and his waist and abdomen forced, he suddenly stabbed out with all his strength against the Jurchen armor who rushed in, and the result was enough to penetrate the double armor and wear those brave Jurchen armor soldiers on top of the long soldiers!
After the bloody battle, most of the recruits of the victorious army gradually quieted down. This is the case with human beings, who, in the face of extreme crisis, either die in silence or explode in silence.
Compared to the first battle, the main formation of the winning army has become stronger. Most of the sergeants are no longer panicked, and the roar and breath full of male hormones on the battlefield that make men's blood boil are enough to make people's heads heat up and forget their fears!
The surroundings are full of steel armor, all eyes are full of metallic luster, all kinds of noisy sounds are constantly echoing in the ears, and the breath of the battlefield is endless between the mouth and nose. How did the veteran come here? It's what you grew up on the battlefield!
The recruits of the victorious army grew up rapidly. The formation became stronger, the sergeants were braver, and the number of frightened people who wanted to flee was greatly reduced. Everything is moving in a good direction.
After all, the armor of the victorious army was heavily armoured, outnumbered, and formed a solid formation, supported by a large number of crossbowmen. When facing the Jurchen heavy armor soldiers, he was no longer as flustered as before.
The second battle of the Jurchen armor warriors was also interrupted by a sharp rain of arrows. After reorganizing the formation and easing the tension, the crossbowmen gradually began to exert their strength. It is no longer a one-time shooting of all the crossbow arrows, but a series of shots that are carried out in a layered and coherent manner, just like in training.
The continuous rain of arrows made it completely impossible for the Jurchen armor soldiers to organize a large-scale decisive assault. Even if a small number of brave men broke through the barrier of the rain of arrows, bravely rushing to the large array would not play a decisive role. In the face of a strict formation, it was just a matter of sending death in vain.
The continuous blows made the morale of the Jurchen armor soldiers begin to decline rapidly. "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." The Jurchens are brave and do not want to die. But they're still human!
As long as a person with a normal head faces this form, he will be disappointed, and then there will be despair! Those damned victorious crossbowmen are like their eyes are in the sky! Deliver a dense and deadly rain of arrows on their heads every time!
I can't attack it, I don't dare to retreat, and there is a deadly rain of arrows above my head. Jurchen morale began to plummet.
Originally, the Jurchens were just hunters in the deep mountains and old forests, and they had no systematic training and strict command at all. When he was fighting, he fought with a brave spirit that was not afraid of death and a good body that he had tempered in the deep mountains and old forests.
Before, whether it was facing the weakened Liao State or the Song army, which had no will to fight, they were able to achieve victory with their indomitable bravery. However, once the battle situation is unfavorable, the Jurchens who do not have systematic training and command will also be afraid!
Now it's not time for them to just leave the tiger water. At that time, they had no way out, no wealth, nothing, only a rotten life. Under the desperate fight, he actually fought a thousand miles!
Huge pies falling from the sky say this is the kind of thing. He destroyed the Liao State, captured Yanjing, and plundered the wealthy Song Dynasty in the south. Now each of them has his own wealth, his own felt tent, his own woman! They've learned to enjoy!
How many invincible armies in history have been destroyed in peace? People who have endured hardship are extremely persistent in enjoyment. They already have worries in their hearts at the moment. It's no longer the mentality that when I just left the tiger water, Lao Tzu had a bad life, and it was a big deal for everyone to die together.
In fact, I have to say that the life of the Jurchen clan is really good.
When the Tang Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, they escaped. When the Liao State and the Song Dynasty declined at the same time, the Jurchen Wanyan Department produced a Wanyan Aguta, unified the Jurchen tribes, raised troops to the south, destroyed the Liao, attacked the Song, and established a century-old Jin State.
Hundreds of years later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen Aixin Jueluo tribe rose again, unified the Jurchen tribes, and also raised troops to the south when the Central Plains Dynasty was in decline, and captured the great rivers and mountains.
This kind of luck can't be described as a good life, it's completely against the rhythm of the sky. Every time it rises when the Central Plains Dynasty is in decline, and every time it can be exchanged for the world of flowers at a very small price!
Don't look at the ferocity and abnormality of their fighting, claiming to be invincible. That's mainly because their opponents are in decline. If you really meet the strong army of the Han family that has left a name in the history books, such as the Han family feather forest, the Xuanjia tiger or something, it will definitely die a miserable death.
At this moment, facing the main formation of the ever-victorious army that is getting stronger and stronger the more they fight, the Jurchen armor soldiers who are still alive already have the intention of retreating.
"Huh?!" Gao Yang, who had been closely observing the battlefield, was keenly aware that the attacks of the Jurchen armor soldiers were obviously not as good as before. Compared with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles and being brave before, their assault has now become weak and weak.
"Here's your chance!" Gao Yang clenched his fists tightly!
"Attack forward in this formation, and move forward bravely!" Gao Yang turned his head sideways and shouted to the guards on the side. The time has come to strike. The Jurchen formation has begun to lose its fighting spirit, and the formation has become chaotic, and this is a good time for the army to attack!
The form on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and only those who can seize the opportunity and strike a fatal blow are a good commander! (To be continued.) )u
