Chapter 804: Sunrise in the East (29)
No matter how well-trained a war horse is, when faced with a bright spear tip, it will naturally have a sense of fear, and will spontaneously make some deceleration or evasive actions. However, the front-line attacking team of the Palace Guards, they The war horses all wear blindfolds, and their movements are completely controlled by the knights on their backs. They rely on the tacit cooperation between the owner and the war horse to complete the most difficult blow.
Just like the soldiers at the front of the Zhengdong Army, they had already put life and death at risk. These knights were also dead soldiers. Facing the spears that shone with cold light, they rushed forward without hesitation. The horses under their crotches had no idea that in front of them was the scythe of death. Under the constant urging of their masters, they accelerated forward until the sharp spear penetrated deeply into their bodies.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the knights on horseback swung heavy throwing weapons such as chain hammers and iron bones with the sound of howling wind and hit the thickest part of the team. After completing this blow, they were also powerfully The inertia threw them into the air, and then they fell into the forest of spears. It goes without saying that almost no one fell to the ground, because under their bodies were all the spears raised high, and most of them were held up like this. in the air, with dozens or even dozens of spears attached to his body.
At that moment, what Mei Hua saw was his brother who was at the front. The spear in his hand was broken into several pieces with a snap. Some people flew backwards, some were intercepted on the spot, and some were pressed by the heavy body of the war horse. Under the body, the sharp edge at the front ceased to exist almost within a moment of meeting each other.
Both the enemy and ourselves suffered huge losses.
"Blow the horn, intercept. Change the formation!" Mei Hua calmly gave the order. After experiencing the bloody battle in the Loop, he had long been calm about such things. Maybe it would be him in the next moment. But while you are alive, you still have to complete your tasks
The army is composed of individual individuals. When these individuals are twisted into a huge machine and each man does his part to complete his job, the machine will become an extremely efficient killing weapon.
The Donghu cavalry's attack did not stop, relying on their superb riding skills. The knights at the rear jumped over the obstacles in front of them and continued to launch another attack forward. The third battalion also suddenly took several steps forward with its wings amidst the beeping of the trumpet, moving left and right. The middle was squeezed inward, and at the last moment, another sharp arrow was formed in the center of the position, but this sharp arrow was thicker than the first one, and the two wings pointed forward. Pocket out. This makes the formation of this arrow more similar to a three-pointed two-edged knife.
The sound of bugles continued to sound between this sharp edge and the main body behind it. Suddenly a space area of more than ten meters appeared. Mei Hua held a short javelin in his hand and roared: "Throw the spear"
Dozens of tall and strong soldiers rushed out of the queue. Each one of them, like Mei Hua, held a heavy iron gun about one meter long in their hands. Use all your strength,
Throw forward
The javelin drew a beautiful arc in the air. Accompanied by the sound of squeezing into the flesh, dozens of javelins were fired. He shot down dozens of enemies who rushed into battle.
A dozen people ran back, and one of their companions had already handed over the javelin again, and another round of shooting began.
After three rounds of projections, hundreds of Donghu cavalry fell down with howls. However, just after these three rounds of projections, the sharp edge in front was once again overwhelmed. The scattered soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army retreated and cleared the space of more than ten meters. After filling it once, they raised their spears again
After several back and forth attacks, the formation of the third battalion was tens of layers thin, allowing the Zhengdong Army cavalry to rush forward for tens of meters. However, the road of these tens of meters was full of blood and corpses of the enemy. People's belongings are mixed together without distinguishing each other.
On the other side of him, the fourth battalion led by Wu Ya was in a similar situation to him. At this moment, both sides were almost exchanging lives for lives. The Donghu Palace Guards wanted to break up the enemy's array, and then use the cavalry's The advantages were divided and surrounded, while the Zhengdong Army was using its lives to slow down the enemy. When the palace guards' rapid impact was blocked, they lost their speed and impact advantage. They faced the spears and swords specially used to deal with cavalry. , their advantage will no longer exist. On the contrary, the huge individual of the war horse will become the target of key attacks.
Yang Dasha stared intently at Mei Hua and Wu Ya who were at the front. These two heroes he valued very much had lived up to his expectations. Although the team was being thinned layer by layer, the lineup was still compact. , the soldiers stood side by side, holding their spears tightly in their hands, not at all frightened by the opponent's wild impact.
"First Battalion, Second Battalion advance," Yang Dasha calmly gave the order. The pressure of the two battalions towards the center will force the other side to speed up the attack. When one's own defensive lineup is not in chaos, this kind of attack will , will increase their casualties
"Crossbow on bed, crossbow on arm, shooting at intervals!"
After issuing a series of orders, Yang Dasha looked back at Guo Laowen's second division behind him. The two of them usually fought and often had unpleasant quarrels, but in fact they were the best friends. There is a tacit understanding of cooperation, almost no need to say anything, just a look or a gesture, each other can understand each other's meaning. Even Gao Yuan is very surprised, how can these two guys with very different personalities become good friends? In the end, it can only be attributed to the complementarity of their personalities.
Guo Laowen's second division is pressing forward, filling the gap left after Yang Dasha moved forward.
Yang Dasha chuckled, stretched out his hand to pull out the Mo Dao stuck in the ground, and looked around at the five hundred Mo Dao players around him. This was the guy at the bottom of the first division, and it was Yang Dasha who didn't snatch it from Guo Laowen's hand. After arriving at the soldiers in Baiyang Village, I formed a team through hard training.
Among the entire division, five hundred people were carefully selected. They were all big-waisted and tall. Mo Dao weighing tens of kilograms was as easy as a toy in their hands. In the military camp beside Jishi Lake, , this Mo Dao team could not return to their beds to rest until they finished chopping a thousand wood piles every day, so that all the cooks of the Young Guards stationed at Jishi Lake welcomed this firewood chopping army, because These chopped firewood. Saved him a lot of effort
Cut them in half, this is what Yang Dasha wants from them
"Brothers, it's our turn." Yang Dasha raised the Mo Dao with one hand and twirled a flower in the air, "Cut him in half. Cut him in two!"
"Break it in two!" five hundred men shouted in unison
"Guards, move forward!" Yang Dasha walked to the center of the team and ordered loudly
The sound of drums sounded, and along with the sound of drums, 500 swordsmen lined up in a neat line, pushing forward.
Mei Hua swallowed. Holding the Mo Dao tightly in his hand, his nerves were highly tense. The palace guards' attacks came one after another, like a sea wave that seemed to never stop. When he looked at it from this angle. Everywhere he could see were cavalry, and by this time, his team had been thinned by four or five layers. In just one stick of incense, at least three hundred soldiers fell.
Long Bin died in the battle. In the previous attack, the most elite first company of the third battalion was at the forefront. At this time, together with their company commander Long Bin, the second company with no one left had already pushed forward. Also more than half of the casualties
"It's my turn!" Mei Hua raised his sword and looked at his left and right wings. The third and fourth companies had been squeezed by the cavalry to the side of the second company. The three companies were crowded together. Although their defense power was increasing, But again. The casualties will be even greater, until now. The palace guards finally gained some space, allowing them to circle around the Eastern Expeditionary Army's formation in search of fighters. Spotting the opening, he swooped in and took a bite. While leaving a few corpses behind, he also took away several lives of the Zhengdong Army.
"Blow the trumpet, move closer to the fourth battalion, and convey the message to the fourth battalion. The two battalions merged. Mei Hua, commander of the third battalion, asked to take over the command!" Mei Hua said loudly
Hearing the bugle message coming from the direction of the third battalion, Wu Ya took a sip, "You idiot, you took advantage of me again. He blew the bugle and moved closer to the third battalion. The two battalions merged, and the fourth battalion accepted the third battalion." command"
The two battalions, which suffered heavy casualties, moved closer to each other with difficulty. When they finally cleared the enemy cavalry between the two battalions and gathered together, only half of the more than 2,000 people in the two battalions were left. Fortunately, the first and second battalions have already pressed forward.
The space left for the Donghu cavalry to move is still extremely limited.
The battle in the middle was still stalemate. Although the casualties of the Eastern Conquest Army were higher in comparison, considering that they were fighting on foot against cavalry, and their opponents were the world-famous Palace Guards, the Eastern Conquest Army was already proud enough, at least. Until now, their formation has not been messed up at all, and the tactical purpose of the Palace Guards has not been realized yet.
Compared with the battle in the middle, the battle between the cavalry on the two wings was even faster. The cavalry on both sides collided at high speed, slashing at each other with their swords among the lightning flints. With one strike of the sword, they would survive if they cut down the enemy. If they were struck by the enemy, they would be pulled down.
On both wings, there are three thousand palace guards on each side. Compared with the palace guards, the cavalry of the Eastern Conquest Army is indeed inferior, but it is not far behind. The six thousand cavalry of the infantry have been engaged in constant battles since their establishment. They fought for a full year in Daijun, and their continuous training made the cavalry's riding skills greatly improve. Their enemy was the Zhao army again, and the cavalry was led by infantry. Their fighting style was even better than that of the Donghu army. The two sides have the same tactics, and the competition is about personal combat power. In this aspect, the Eastern Expeditionary Army obviously suffered a disadvantage, but fortunately, the infantry had 6,000 cavalry, which was enough to match the enemy he faced. Twice, the casualties were greater, but he was not inferior in the scene.
In contrast to him, the 10,000 cavalry commanded by Shangguan Hong inherited the tactics created by He Lanyan. The 10,000 cavalry were divided into several impact formations. Each formation was kept extremely close and completely used team tactics. This is due to the shortcomings of the newly formed Young Guards Cavalry's personal abilities. They use their own strengths to make up for their own shortcomings, and his numerical advantage is greater.
Thorpe looked at the three battlefields, all of which were stalemate, and his face became increasingly ugly. This is the palace guard. This is Donghu's magic weapon. It should not be like this. Once the palace guard appears, the enemy It should fall apart, instead of being inextricably linked like now.
What's the use of killing more enemies? The Eastern Marching Army is in Ningyuan, and Jingyuan has assembled an army of 100,000 people. What's more, if you kill a thousand enemies and damage yourself by 800, with this kind of strategy, I am afraid that all the palace guards will die in the end, but the Eastern Marching Army is still strong.
Will you devote all your troops to fight? No, no, although he still has 20,000 cavalry on hand, Gao Yuan has more available troops. Luo Weiran's 20,000 troops are still unmoved. Behind them, there are 20,000 Yan troops commanded by Kumamoto. , although the combat power of these 20,000 people is quite different, but even if there are 20,000 pigs, if you want to kill them all, you will have to cut the knife with a curled blade.
If he put all his troops into it, Gao Yuan would do the same. The battlefield was still stalemate. Gao Yuan was not afraid of death. Even if he died here, as long as he used up all his strength, he would have won. And he himself? Without the troops at hand, how could he defend Helin?
He could only hope that the palace guards would make a breakthrough at the next moment
But the expeditionary army blocking the center of the battlefield seemed to be shaky, but it always stood up miraculously. When he saw the two completely disabled expeditionary armies merged together and re-established a military formation, Thorpe almost spit out blood
Every time a palace guard fell, it seemed to stab him in the heart (to be continued)
