Chapter 166 The Battle of Linjing (End)

Amidst the singing of more than ten thousand soldiers of the Northern Army, more than twelve thousand Hu Qi finally crossed this blank distance, and their sharp sabers were raised in pieces, releasing a dazzling cold light.

kill!

Hu Qi's torrent slammed into the official army, as if it had hit a mountain, and the Northern Army was unmoved at all. The sword and shield players in the front row are all carefully selected strong men in the army. They raised a shield as high as a man and forcibly resisted the impact of the tall horse.

The condescending Hu Qi brandished his saber, and just as the thin blade penetrated into the gap of the shield, the rhythm was suddenly disrupted by the spear protruding from it.

One inch long and one inch strong, the long knives that are usually used freely on the horse are almost useless when facing the three-meter-long spear. It came out through the body, passing through Hu Qi's back with a layer of bright red.

The war horse under his crotch raised its head and neighed, and the spear still mercilessly pierced the war horse's neck and fell to the ground.

There are also many unlucky Huqi who saw with their own eyes that the spear pierced through the neck of the horse, and pierced it upwards fiercely. People and horses are tied together in a string.

Some spears pierced deeply into the horses and horses, and they couldn't be pulled out for a while, and the horses in the back layer rushed up, so the spearmen in the first row simply let go and retreated. After the battle.

Anyway, these spears are all wooden poles and iron heads, so they are worthless at all. Besides, after the victory, they can seize the ordnance again, so don't worry about it.

The spearmen in the first row retreated, and the spearmen in the second row took over immediately. The layers are in order, and the quality of the elite can be seen from this. The biggest difference between stragglers and elite soldiers is nothing more than It is order. Without order, no matter how brave an army is, it is just a straggler. A good army is one that obeys orders.

The spearmen in the second row quickly stepped forward to hand over, while the Hu Qi in front of them rushed up in a wave, and the spearmen in their hands sent out the spears without hesitation.

Pooh!

The sound of sharp knives piercing into flesh came one after another, together with Hu Qi's screams and the roar of war horses, it was like a sonata.

Li Wenhou did not change his face. He is not like an officer in an inland state or county. Since ancient times, there have been countless small battles on the northern frontier. It is not uncommon for him to have seen more tragic scenes than this, but thousands of casualties are nothing. .

"Kill! Take Huangfu's head directly."

These Hu Qi are also brave and courageous. Seeing their companions injured, instead of shrinking, they greeted them with knives. Some brave men jumped directly from their horses, crossed the shield wall, and rushed into the Han army formation.

Many Hu cavalry rushed into the shield wall, causing a little confusion to the Han army.

Huangfusong ordered the flag bearers to wave the flag, and when even a tall and powerful general stepped forward, behind him were more than a hundred soldiers wrapped in iron armor and holding knives and axes.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not stupid. Not all the money he got from selling official porridge was used for pleasure, but he also forged some weapons. This matter also started with Tang Zhou, a traitor of the Yellow Turbans, who reported the secret. When Emperor Ling heard about it, he arrested Ma Yuanyi, the leader of the Yellow Turbans near Luoyang, and was surprised when he heard about the scale of the Yellow Turbans.

Despite the heartache, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still released the war horses in the Shanglin Garden and ordered skilled craftsmen to make ordnance, and the fish scale armor worn by the soldiers under Huangfusong was forged during that period.

The defense of the fish scale armor is extremely strong, especially the defense against bows and arrows is very effective. The layered fish scale-like leaves are very tough.

Even under Huangfusong's command, there are only a mere 1,000 armored soldiers. It's not that Emperor Ling of Han went bankrupt and produced a total of 1,000 sets of fish scale armor, but a total of 1,000 sets were allocated to Huangfusong, because the value is so precious .

These more than a hundred armored soldiers rushed up aggressively, and the knives and axes in their hands were aimed at Hu Qi and fell down. Although these Hu Qi were also wearing armor, they were all leather armor, and their defense was quite limited. The ax is also a heavy weapon. When the ax fell, Hu Qi was cut down and turned on his back.

The Han army was orderly and well-coordinated, with three-dimensional coordination between layers of arms. Although Hu Qi had a great impact, facing the Northern army, it felt like a tiger swallowing the sky and had nowhere to go.

"Push!"

When the ban on drinking is issued, commanding infantry within a thousand can basically be done by roaring.

The spearmen forcefully handed out the spears in their hands and pierced through the Hu cavalry in front of them. Due to the small number of people, the 700 men in the Forbidden Office were basically either swordsmen or spearmen, and many spearmen also had part-time bows and arrows. hand.

"Draw the knife!"

Hu Qi rushed into the formation, with the sword and shield holding his arms against the wooden shield, he drew out the ring-sword at his waist and slashed at Hu Qi, the formation was quite stable.

"Arrange densely, don't leave a gap, and move closer."

Yu Jin observed that the soldiers in the headquarters were separated by the Hu Qi who broke into the formation, and immediately ordered to approach the handsome flag. Fighting alone is not what a famous general does.

Seeing Yu Jin approaching him, Huangfusong nodded slightly.

"Command! Shrink the formation, don't give Hu Qi the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Why did the wars between the Song Dynasty and the North always fail? In fact, the technology tree of the Song Dynasty is very high, and it can be regarded as the most economically developed dynasty among the Central Plains dynasties. The infantry armor of the Song Dynasty can be called a human tank, and it is really armed to the teeth.

However, the Song Dynasty lived in a corner of the Central Plains and lost the horse-producing land in the north. Once the cavalry of Liao, Jin and Mongolia broke up the infantry formation, it would be a big defeat and a massacre.

Why did Yue Fei win every battle? Isn't it just relying on capturing a horse farm in Xixia to form an elite cavalry unit. These days, if you want to fight a war, you have to play comprehensively. Those with long legs and short legs, and those with long hands and short hands are indispensable.

Hearing Huangfusong's order, the soldiers of the Northern Army who had been killed by Hu Qi leaned together and retreated slowly, forming a strong fortress again.

But Li Wenhou was not discouraged, and continued to attack with his army.

Taking advantage of the infantry's entanglement with the cavalry of the Han army, he had to command Hu Qi to attack all the way, attacking under the banner of Huangfu, and beheading Huangfu's old man with his own hands.

Now it is time to fight the war. Li Wenhou led the cavalry to defeat Huangfusong first, and that would be the victory of the rebels. Huangfusong formed an infantry formation to resist the Hu cavalry's cloud-like offensive, and when the cavalry returned after the victory, it would be a victory for the Han army, just like Napoleon was waiting for Grouchy's reinforcements in the Battle of Waterloo.

"kill!"

Under Li Wenhou's order, Hu Qi's brave temper was aroused.
