The ninth chapter will hunt (3)
Countless five-meter-long horse-rejecting rifles emerged from the gaps of the tower shield, and in an instant a dense forest of guns formed. The two-meter-high tower shields were arranged one after another to form a solid moving fortress. The Gaoyue soldiers were also facing the most fierce charge of the transformed Luobei Iron Cavalry. This time, the Luobei Iron Cavalry's combat effectiveness was far greater than the situation in the last war with Luobei.
Gritting his teeth, holding the shield with his arms, and even holding the shield diagonally with his shoulders to enhance the shield's resistance. The other hand inserted the cavalry into the soil diagonally, maintaining an angle of thirty to forty-five degrees from the ground, arranged in a staging manner, pointing far ahead, forming a thick defense belt composed of the tip of the gun and the shield surface. If you want to break through such a defense belt like a hedgehog standing up all over your body, like a light cavalry, it is difficult to break through from the front even if you pay a great price. Only heavy cavalry,
We can rely on our unique ultra-long special iron spear for heavy cavalry, body covered with iron leaf armor, and the spirit of fearlessness to forcibly charge. As long as we can tear a hole open, all the sacrifices of heavy cavalry can be rewarded. Once the hole is torn open and the situation is not compensated and controlled in time, no matter how strong the heavy infantry is, it is difficult to shake the heavy infantry that breaks through the formation. Whether the first line of defense can break through and the length of the breakthrough will become the key to the victory or defeat of the heavy cavalry against heavy infantry.
If heavy cavalry cannot break through or take too long to break through, it will mean the failure of heavy cavalry. On the contrary, if the breakthrough is easy or the breakthrough is short and the price is small, it will be a huge nightmare for heavy infantry. Once the main force of heavy cavalry can succeed in its breakthrough, the heavy infantry that has been dispersed and cannot be assembled into a formation will face the massacre of the light cavalry that follows up. Their fate will be destined.
If Luo Beiren's spirit of fearlessness is commendable, they are obviously too lacking in combat experience when facing such a war. When heavy cavalry rolled up waves of yellow dust and swept over, the first wave of attacks thrown from behind the heavy infantry phalanx that was waiting for was not a gun, but a wooden gun covered with tung oil. The dense wooden guns burned from the beginning to the end, and inserted obliquely into the circle less than thirty meters away from the heavy infantry, forming a strange fire wall.
Although these wooden guns did not have any substantial damage to Luobei heavy cavalry that had not yet entered the range, it is conceivable what kind of nightmare this burning fire wall would be for the heavy cavalry phalanx that had increased its speed to the fastest. It is their nature to livestock fear fire. Even trained war horses would subconsciously choose to avoid this large fire wall that suddenly appeared in front of them. However, Luobei obviously did not conduct special coping training in this aspect, and the consequences were unprecedentedly tragic.
In this situation of surging forward and upward, the iron-armed cavalry that charged at the fastest speed and pace no longer had any time or space to avoid or pause. The first batch of iron-armed cavalry fell to the ground before they even had time to pose a real threat to the Western Frontier Army. The heavy iron-leaf armor made them unable to stand up for a moment, and the iron-armed cavalry behind them could not stop. In this case, they had no way to stop. The consequence of stopping was to collide with the comrades behind them and died together. They could only move forward, but the storm of a large number of comrades in front obviously made the Luobei cavalry unable to control their emotions for a while. The scattered formation even when they stepped on the comrades' bodies, they could not pose any substantial threat to the long-awaited gun and shield defense line.
The iron spear was similar in length to the storm, and the impact forces interacted with each other. Countless cry and scream mixed with the impact of weapons, and immediately formed a human flesh purgatory in front of the gun shield defense line. The blood limbs of the human horse were thrown into a huge meat grinder, and instantly turned into countless broken limbs and spilled down, like a dam full of blood suddenly collapsed, and the blood in the sky covered a few meters away from the defense line in an instant.
Kurdo's body and heart trembled in front of the formation. The infantry defense line in front of the enemy was like a demon's mouth. In just a few breaths, he swallowed thousands of elite soldiers who spent huge sums of money to build. He did not even get any substantial gains. Except for dozens of cavalry who escaped this destruction collision circle like a natural disaster, the remaining were the wounded soldiers and war horses who were screaming and groaning in front of the towering gun shield defense line.
Although he was full of reluctance and anger, Kurdo still had to admit that he really lacked some experience in fighting with such a cunning and vicious Western Xinjiang army. Such a tactic of suddenly throwing a fire javelin is simply unheard of. However, it is this strange tactic that has caused his side to suffer repeated miserable failures, but now he has to swallow this bitter fruit.
Koldo was not a casual person to admit defeat. Luo Beiren's self-esteem and the expectations of the general on the Northwest Front forced him to continue taking risks. Although this impact caused significant losses to his side, this did not mean that he had lost this battle.
When the first wave of impact encountered the firewall, Koldo had already felt that his first wave might not be able to achieve the expected effect. In the second wave and the third wave of charge, he ordered the shortening of the distance and at the same time to increase the distance, which also made the cavalry pay attention to the attack area of the opponent's fire javelin. It should be said that the effect of the second wave of fire javelin is incomparable to the first wave. First, there are still many fire javelins in front of them, and the second wave of cavalry war horses that launched the charge were obviously adapted to this. The widening distance also gave the Luobei cavalry enough space to adjust their positions in case of emergency situations. The fire javelin did not have much damage in essence. In addition to having some impact on the mood of the war horses, the Luobei cavalry only needed to sweep it gently with an iron spear when passing through this area.
The second wave of impact can be called a real desperate battle. The combat power of Luobei's heavy cavalry was fully demonstrated in this wave of impact. The heavy iron spear showed its power in front of the thick tower shield. Many tower shields were shattered just by a sudden blow. Of course, before completing their thrust attack, Luobei people first needed to pass the dense gun forest. There were often not many lucky people who passed this time. Most of them acted as the pawns who cleared the shield defense line in front of the horse gun forest. But even the few survivors still brought a great sense of crisis to the mountain pillar. Luobei people's combat effectiveness improved so quickly made him, the leader of the Iron Wall Division, feel pressure.
The third wave of impact arranged by Koldo was just right. When the second wave of attack opened several passages in front of the shield wall, the third wave of cavalry concentrated its forces along the passage opened by their comrades to make breakthroughs. However, what was greeted were giant wooden cars covered with soil covered with iron. This was the emergency method that Shanzhu thought of to prevent the enemy from breaking through in an emergency. Although the huge wooden car could not withstand the few spoils of heavy cavalry, it could win some time for the re-stabilization of the defense line. At this time, time was almost as important as life.
The various adaptations of the Western Xinjiang army can be said to have caused the Luobei cavalry to suffer a lot, and even almost affected the effect of the third wave of impact. However, this was just a sporadic phenomenon. Under the strong impact of the Luobei cavalry roaring like black clouds, the defense line undertaken by the First Division was still weakened bit by bit. Although the speed of this weakening was very slow. However, there was no such good result on the defense line undertaken by another Indian-Germany Third Division. Although the defense line they undertake was only one-third of the first division of the Second Army, the sharp-eyed Luobei people soon discovered that this was the best place for them to break through.
If the defense line that the mountain pillar is responsible for is a piece of iron, it is thin but tough, and the Third Division of the Indian German Legion obviously finds it difficult to adapt to the attacks of the Luobei cavalry. Later, except for a small number of cavalry to restrain the First Division of the Second Legion, almost all the heavy troops have been used to break through the defense line of the Indian German Legion. It is like a thick but indeed a little loose wall. Every fierce impact of the Luobei people will always make the wall collapse. Although it is filled immediately, it is obvious that this filling speed is far from keeping up with the killing brought by the Luobei people. In addition, the huge pressure brought by the Luobei light cavalry that is constantly surrounding the two wings, the entire Western Xinjiang defense circle is not only compressed, but fortunately there are 20,000 cavalry reserves from time to time to reduce the pressure on the front line, otherwise the situation will become even worse.
At this time, Koldo regained his confidence in victory. Seeing that the opponent's defense circle was compressed step by step by step by step, although his resistance was getting stronger and stronger, he believed that this was just a return. When the Indian and German division was completely defeated by his heavy cavalry, it was time for their doomsday to come. Perhaps the 20,000 cavalry reserve team could escape, but this had nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as these two infantry divisions, especially the Xijiang ace division known as "copper walls and iron walls", Koldo would be satisfied.
When the attack group attacking Anyanji arrived at the battlefield and couldn't wait to join, Kurdo was able to confirm that he was sure of victory. No one could change the end of this war. Once the war was over, he could safely and boldly drive north. Whether to teach the Mot and Tubu people who were ignorant of the sky or immediately cooperate with the main force who had already achieved brilliant results on the Tuqi Plain depends on the general.
