Chapter 121: Advancing Like a Wall
On the teahouse in the south of the city, Chen Kefu, Li Benlei and others, who were overlooking the south city gate, looked at it in surprise for a while, and they didn't believe the scene they saw in front of them.
It was so shocking that the seemingly slow movement of the hoplites, and the lack of huΔ tactics, had received a completely shocking result. That row of 10,000 walls went down, and the men and women who stood in front of them, young and old, were still wearing armor or not, and even some of the Liao people who were behind were still riding war horses, but it was not gorgeous at all 10,000. Everything is split in half. Even the knight on the war horse was the same, the sword cut through the upper body of the knight on the horse, then cut through the entire body diagonally, then through the neck of the war horse, and finally came out of the body.
And the knight on the horse suddenly split in two, and even half of the horse's body suddenly fell off the horse, and the war horse still carried the habitual xìng, four hooves with a headless horse body, and the knight who only had half of his body left rushed forward a few steps before falling.
Along the way, everything that stands in the way of the hoplites is really a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha. The long sword that was more than a foot long, the edge of the blade reached more than four feet.
This is completely more advantageous than the horse lance used by the cavalry generals!
Chen Kefu clearly heard the teahouse on the battlefield full of tearing sounds, and there was a brief silence.
"Goo-dong!"
I don't know who swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Chen Kefu himself also felt a little itchy in his throat, and he hurriedly followed with a mouthful of saliva.
turned his head to look at the generals next to him, but found that the general and his performance were similar, and even Li Jie and others were even more surprised.
"Is that really a heavy infantry brigade? Not the officers and men of the heavy cavalry brigade that broke the barracks? Li Jie asked suspiciously.
Old man Li Benlei nodded: "Then it is indeed the soldiers and horses of the heavy infantry brigade below, which I arranged with my own hands." The two people in front were Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, the colonels of the first and second regiments of the heavy infantry brigade. β
"It's incredible! The heavy infantry brigade is a new recruit unit, and the 5,000 people, except for the more than 400 veterans of the broken barracks, are all selected from the civilian battalions, and not even from the auxiliary battalions. How can they be so difficult? β
Chen Kefu rubbed his face, and gradually recovered, "This appearance of the heavy infantry brigade is indeed quite shocking, but they were raiding just now, and the attack was not a Liao soldier.
Most of the Liao near the city gate were slaves and fΓΉ widows, so they should be nothing. If you really fight with the Liao people, whether you can maintain this formation at that time is two words. However, it can be seen that these heavy infantry are of good quality. β
Lu Shishen seemed to have woken up from a dream, and said loudly, "Straight lady thief, it's so cool."
It's all a bunch of killers, general, they're holding the Mo knife you said, right? β
Chen Kefu shook his head and said with a smile, "There are not all more than 2,000 swords, I asked the craftsman battalion to process the horse chopping sword that walked over, the blade is more than four feet long, and the handle is more than five feet long, and the total length is one zhang." Later, the craftsman urgently hit a batch of them, and the new one was the Mo knife, which was much heavier than the processed horse chopping sword, with about twenty-four catties. Moreover, the blade has also been lengthened by about a foot, and the two-edged blade of the Mo sword is five feet long and the handle is five feet long, which is the most suitable weapon for infantry to deal with cavalry. As you can see, like a wall pushing forward, slashing in two. However, the real use of the Mo knife still depends on the formation and the cooperation of multiple arms, not only the infantry to cooperate, but also the cavalry to cooperate? β
Lu Shishen said with some disbelief: "My mother, just now they scared him to death with that way of playing." Such a wall of knives is cut down one by one, which one can hold it. Could there be a better way for the Commander? β
Everyone in the teahouse turned their heads to look at Chen Kefu's Modao combat method of the heavy infantry just now, which had already shocked them, could it be that Chen Kefu really had any better combat methods?
"Actually, the better way is very simple, it is to mix the arms. When a major battle is fought, the infantry crossbowmen are lined up in front of the formation, and the enemy is close to one hundred and fifty paces, the crossbowmen immediately fire arrows.
When the enemy formation was about sixty paces, the crossbowmen retreated, and the infantry men who stood by behind them fired arrows. If the enemy formation reaches about 20 paces, all the crossbowmen and archers abandon the arrows, and the Mo sword soldiers will advance the Mo knife formation like a wall, and the archers and crossbowmen will abandon the bow and crossbow, and hold spears and horizontal knives with the Mo Wan team to kill the enemy formation, and the short soldiers will be handed over. When the momentum of the infantry such as the Mo Dao soldiers was blocked, the cavalry covering the flanks and the reserve infantry entered again. And the crossbowmen, the Modao team temporarily retreated, regrouped, and the infantry was ready to reinforce, using both infantry and cavalry, and had duties in attack and defense. The infantry is the vanguard, the cavalry is the side auxiliary, the infantry is equipped with bows and crossbows, and the cavalry is responsible for the assault and pursuit of the infantry after the battle. This is the best way to use the Mo knife. β,
Li Jie listened to Chen Kefu's words, frowned and thought for a while, and couldn't help but admire Chen Kefu a little. The most difficult thing about the emergence of this new class of troops is the cooperation with the old ones. As Chen Kefu said, although the Mo knife is strong, it also has limitations, the number of people is not large, and second, the speed is slow. If you take it out to fight, although the individual combat power is strong, it is also easy to be restrained by other troops. However, as Chen Kefu said now, if we use multiple arms and mixed operations, we will be able to maximize the combined combat power and give full play to the advantages of each branch of the army.
Li Benlei looked at Chen Kefu with a smile and nodded very happily, "The general is really getting wiser and wiser, not only has the foresight to form such a surprising hoplite, but also invents such a powerful weapon. What surprised me even more was that after inventing Mo Wan, he could still come up with a matching supreme battle method. What a convincing sight! β
Chen Kefu smiled, "Weapons and equipment are dead, and only people use him." No matter how strong the armor is, it has to be a good soldier to play a role. Especially this Mo knife, if you want the hoplites to exert their powerful combat power, the requirements for the infantry will be very strict. As long as the hoplites are really trained, then they must be the best force in foot against horse. I look at the hoplites led by the two Li Shimin brothers, and it is indeed good. I heard that these two boys have been learning the art of war with General Li Jie recently, and it seems that all this has been taught by Chief of Staff Li. β
Li Jie smiled helplessly, "These two little taro are really hardworking, especially Shimin, unlike ordinary children of families, who are willing to endure hardships, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future." However, at the beginning, I came up with this simple set of tactics based on the characteristics of this horse sword and heavy infantry armor, and I didn't expect this Mo knife to be such a sharp weapon. It's still good that the commander just said the Mo Dao combat method, it seems that he will have to ask your brother-in-law for advice in the future. β
"I'll have to get a strange knife in a while, straight lady thief, this thing is much more terrifying than a horse lance." It's a little shorter, but the horse lance is three feet long. Well, I'll go back and ask the craftsman battalion to give me a strengthened one, and also get a three-long, straight lady thief, this thing to the battle array, and which one can't be cut off the horse. β
In this temporary command headquarters set up in the teahouse, Chen Kefu and the others were discussing Modao while watching the situation on the battlefield below.
Although the recruits behaved in a mess at first, fortunately, it was an ambush war, and under the command of those elite backbone officers who broke the barracks, the Sui army quickly mastered the situation. According to the previous battle plan 1, the officers followed the routine that had been practiced several times yesterday and followed the same steps step by step.
First of all, the soldiers with large shields poured out of the shops and houses on both sides of the street as soon as they heard the sound of the dwarf. Quickly form a wall of shields. Constantly squeezing towards the Liao, squeezing them back into the open space at the South City Gate.
Followed by all the archers who can wield bows and crossbows, they occupy all the high positions, city walls, roofs, and desperately go to the battlefield one by one, regardless of whether they hit or not. Many of the archers were fighting for the first time, and they didn't know where the first few arrows had gone.
Fortunately, after the first moment, these people finally began to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield.
When he shot an arrow with a bow again, mE was at the same level as before. As the Liao people fell to the ground one by one, most of the soldiers who had completed the killing business for the first time were pale. Some people can't even overcome the fear of killing someone for the first time, and they can't stop vomiting.
At the beginning, Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian thought that Gao Jianwu wanted to annex them and set up a trap to ambush them. He also sent people to explain to Gao Jianwu non-stop and ask for a truce. When he found that the men and horses over there ignored them at all, he slowly finally discovered that the army in front of him was not Gao Jianwu's men and horses at all, and it was not even Goguryeo's soldiers and horses. The ambush soldiers who poured out of the house were all wearing the armor of the Sui army.
After thinking about it, the two also found that things were big. One possibility is that the withdrawal of the Sui army was just a trick of the Sui people, they pretended to retreat, but arranged a group of soldiers and horses behind, as a result, as soon as Gao Jianwu went out of the city to pursue, the Sui people immediately took a detour and took the opportunity to seize Gao Jianwu's Liaodong City, and Gao Jianwu may not know it yet.
There is also a possibility that it is not, after Gao Jianwu, who left the city, was surrounded by the Sui army, he sent a team of soldiers and horses to rob Liaodong City, and even Gao Jianwu was defeated and died, or fled.
But no matter which one it is, the result is that Liaodong City has fallen into the hands of the Sui people. Thinking that the Sui army had millions of men, the faces of the two of them, who had always been scared, also began to have some panic and fear. They came this time for the purpose of taking over Liaodong City, but they didn't think about dying here.
Gao Zhen looked at his own soldiers and horses that were constantly falling, as well as the large array of shields that formed an iron wall, and was constantly squeezing his men and horses into the open space of Nancheng. I also felt that something bad was going on for a while, so I carried a horse lance and shouted, "The cavalry is moving closer to the general, the cavalry is moving closer to the general, brother, come closer, stand out, we have been ambushed by the Sui people, and this Liaodong City is already Sui." Everybody come closer, stand out! β
