Section 9 Hunting 3
readx;
Countless five-meter-long horse-repellent guns drilled out of the gaps in the tower shield, and in an instant, a dense forest of guns was formed, and the two-meter-high tower shields were arranged one after another to form a strong mobile fortress, and the Gaoyue soldiers were also until they would face the most ferocious charge of the transformed Luope Iron Cavalry, and this time the combat effectiveness of the Luope Iron Cavalry had far exceeded the situation during the last war with Luope.

Gritting his teeth, he pulled the shield with his arm, and even carried the shield diagonally with his shoulders to enhance the shield's resistance, and with the other hand, he inserted the horse pistol obliquely into the soil, maintaining an angle of thirty to forty-five degrees from the ground, arranged in echelons, pointing forward from afar, forming a thick defensive belt composed of the tip of the spear and the shield surface, if you want to break through such a defensive belt like a hedgehog erected all over the body, like the impact of light cavalry, even if you pay a big price, it is difficult to break through from the front, only heavy cavalry, They can rely on their own unique extra-long heavy cavalry special iron spear and body covered with iron leaf armor plus the spirit of not afraid of death to force the charge, as long as they can tear a hole, all the sacrifices of the heavy cavalry can be rewarded, and once the hole is torn and fail to make up for and control the situation in time, no matter how strong the hoplite is difficult to shake the hoplite who broke through the formation, and whether the first line of defense can break through and the length of time to break through will become the key to the victory or defeat of the heavy cavalry against the heavy infantry.
If the hoplites can't break through or the breakthrough takes too long and the loss is too great, it means the failure of the hoplites, on the contrary, if the break is easy or the breakthrough time is short and the price is small, it will be a big nightmare for the heavy infantry, once the main force of the heavy cavalry breaks through, the hoplites who are scattered and cannot assemble into a formation face the slaughter of the light cavalry that follows, and their fate is doomed.
If the spirit of the Luope people is commendable, they are obviously too inexperienced in the face of such a big war. When the hoplites swept in with a cloud of yellow dust, the first wave of attacks thrown from behind the waiting hoplite phalanx was not a throwing gun, but a wooden spear wrapped in tung oil and lit. From beginning to end, the dense wooden guns burned as soon as they were thrown, and were diagonally inserted in a circle less than thirty meters away from the hoplites, forming a somewhat strange wall of fire.
While these wooden spears did no real damage to the Rope hoplites who had not yet come into range, one can imagine what a nightmare this burning wall of fire would be for a phalanx of hoplites that had already increased their speed to the fastest. Livestock are afraid of fire is their natural surname, even trained war horses will still subconsciously choose to avoid this large wall of fire that suddenly appears in front of them, and the Luope people obviously do not have special training in this area, and the consequences are unprecedentedly tragic.
In this situation of rushing forward and surging upwards, the ironclad cavalry charged at the fastest speed and pace no longer had any time and space to dodge or pause, only to see that the first batch of ironclad cavalry did not even have time to really pose a threat to the Western Frontier Army and fell to the ground under the screams and sudden stops of the war horses, the heavy ironclad armor made them unable to stand up for a while, and the ironclad cavalry behind them could not stop their footsteps, in this case they could not stop, the consequence of stopping was to collide with their comrades behind them and die together, they could only move forward, but the sudden fall of a large number of comrades-in-arms in front obviously made the Luope cavalry unable to control their emotions for a while, and the panicked and scattered formation, even when they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, could not pose any real threat to the gun and shield defense line that had already been waiting.
Iron spears against repulsive rifles, similar in length, the impact forces interacted, and countless screams and screams mixed with the impact of weapons, immediately forming a human purgatory in front of the gun and shield defense line. The bloody limbs of the men and horses seemed to be thrown into a huge meat grinder at once, and in an instant, they turned into countless stumps and scattered corpses, like a full of blood suddenly collapsed, and the blood in the sky covered a few meters in front of the defense line in an instant.
Kurdo immediately trembled in front of the formation, and the enemy's infantry defense line in front of him was like an open demon's mouth, and in just a few breaths, it devoured the elite that thousands of marshals spent a lot of money to build, and even a little bit of substantial surname was not gained, and thousands of ironclad cavalry except for scattered dozens of horses escaped this catastrophe-like destruction collision circle horses fled from the flanks, and the rest were the wounded soldiers and war horses who howled and groaned in front of the towering gun and shield defense line.
Although his heart was full of unwillingness and anger, Kurdo still had to admit that he really lacked some experience in fighting with such a cunning and vicious Western Frontier Army, and it was unheard of to suddenly throw a fire javelin tactic, but it was this strange tactic that made his side suffer repeated painful defeats, and now he had to swallow this bitter fruit.
Kurdo is not a man who will accept defeat casually, and the pride of the Rope people and the expectations of the commanders of the Northwest Front make him have to continue to take risks, although this shock has brought heavy losses to his side, but this does not mean that he has lost this battle.
When the first wave of the charge encountered the wall of fire, Kurdo already had a premonition that his first wave might not achieve the desired effect, and in the second and third waves of charge, he ordered the distance to be shortened and the distance widened, so that the cavalry could pay attention to the area of the opponent's fire javelins. It should be said that the effect of the second wave of fire javelins is not the same as that of the first wave, one is that there are still many fire javelins in front of them, and the second wave of cavalry horses that launched the charge are obviously adapted to this, and the widened distance also allows the Luo Pei cavalry enough space to adjust their position in case of emergency, and the fire javelin does not have much damage in essence, except for some impact on the mood of the war horse, the Luo Bai cavalry only needs to use the iron spear to sweep away when passing through this area.
The second wave of impact can be called a real desperate fight, the combat effectiveness of the Luo Pei heavy cavalry has been fully demonstrated in this wave of impact, the heavy iron spear in front of the thick tower shield to show its power, many tower shields just suffered a sudden blow and shattered, of course, the Luo Pei people first need to pass through the dense gun forest before completing their full blow, and the lucky ones who pass through this are often not many, most of them play the role of pawns to clear the shield defense line in front of the horse gun forest. But even if these few survivors brought a sense of crisis to the mountain pillar, the rapid improvement of the Luope's combat effectiveness also made him, the leader of the so-called Copper-walled Division, feel the pressure.
The third wave of impact arranged by Kurdo can be called just right, when the second wave of attack waves opens several passages in front of the shield wall, the third wave of cavalry also concentrates on breaking through along the passages opened by their comrades, but they are greeted by a huge wooden cart full of dirt wrapped in iron, this is an emergency method that the mountain pillar came up with in order to prevent the enemy from breaking through in an emergency, although the huge wooden cart can not withstand a few spoils from the heavy cavalry, but it can buy some time for the re-consolidation of the defensive line after all, and at this time, time is almost as important as life。
The various workarounds of the Western Xinjiang Army can be said to have made the Luope cavalry suffer enough, and even almost affected the effect of the third wave of impact, but this is only a sporadic phenomenon after all, under the strong impact of the Luope cavalry roaring and swarming like a black cloud, the defense line borne by the first division is still being weakened little by little, although the speed of this weakening is very slow. However, this did not turn out so well on the line taken up by the other Indean 3rd Division, which was only a third the length of the 1st Division of the 2nd Army, but the sharp-eyed Ropes soon discovered that this was the best place for them to break through.
If the defensive line of the mountain pillar is compared to a piece of iron, it is thin but tough, and the third division of the Indean regiment is obviously difficult to adapt to the attack of the Rope's cavalry, and later, except for a small number of cavalry in the front to contain the first division of the second corps, almost all the heavy troops have been used to break through the defense line of the Indean corps, it is like a thick but indeed slightly loose wall, every fierce impact of the Ropes will always make this wall collapse, although it is immediately refilled, but it is obvious that the speed of this filling is far from keeping up with the damage brought by the Rope, coupled with the huge pressure brought by the Rope light cavalry that constantly surrounds and harasses from both flanks, so that the entire western defensive circle was not only compressed, but fortunately, there were 20,000 cavalry reserves from time to time to relieve the pressure on the frontal defense line, otherwise the situation would have become even worse.
At this time, Kurdo regained his confidence in victory, seeing that the opponent's defensive circle was compressed step by step, although the resistance was getting stronger and stronger, but he believed that this was just a return to the light, when the Indian division was completely defeated by his own heavy cavalry, that is, when their end came, maybe the 20,000 cavalry reserves could get away with it, but this has nothing to do with the overall situation, as long as these two infantry divisions, especially the so-called "iron wall" Western Xinjiang ace division, Kurdo will be satisfied.
When the attack group that attacked An Yanji rushed to the battlefield and couldn't wait to join, Kurdo was already sure that he was victorious, and no one could change the outcome of this war.
