Chapter 731 Rolling
(Thanks to Xiao Buzhen superstar, Mengmeng Mengmeng Mengmeng, Lin Biao is here, everyone is strong 520 for your support, thank you everyone, please like it!)
Guo Wei yelled, and all the hundred people charged forward bravely.
During the melee, he caught a glimpse of the new mount of Qiu Shengong, the leader of the Leopard Cavalry, who had just taken a horse, fell to the ground and died, but he jumped away. Mo Dao danced, and a Huai Army who wanted to take the opportunity to pick up a cheap one was chopped in half. The new recruit who had just been added to Song Chengxin stabbed a Huai Army to death with an eight-foot spear. The first killing made him stunned. In this moment, he was nailed to death by a Huai Army officer. The head of the team behind him roared and threw the spear in his hand, nailed it into the chest of the Huai Army officer, avenging his brothers.
At this time, a rain of arrows fell on their heads, and I don’t know which side it shot from. Guo Wei was not sure. Fortunately, the Qin army was wearing pot-shaped steel helmets and half-armored body. The rain of arrows did not cause much harm to them. Guo Wei raised his shield, and the Qin army beside him raised the round shield and hid under it, avoiding the rain of arrows.
Under the impact of the cavalry of a battalion led by Qiu Shengong, the gaps in the Huai Army array became larger and larger, and finally became countless breaches.
The hedgehog gun formation gradually collapsed, and the Huai army could not stop the Qin army's fierce stance and cavalry attack, and began to retreat one after another.
Guo Wei saw a Huai army running slower and left the team. He was frightened and turned crazy and rushed towards Qiu Shengong. Before he could rush over, Guo Wei, who was standing in front of him, had raised his sword and waved it. The sword, like a battle axe, hit the chest, penetrated the armor, leather, muscles, sternum, and lungs, and died immediately.
The blade was stuck in the chest of the Huai Army, and several more Huai Army rushed forward. Guo Wei took off a double-edged battle axe on his back, swung his left hand and split the swallowtail card that rushed to the front of the Huai Army in half. The man flew backwards.
The heroic sword in his right hand finally pulled out. Guo Wei's battle axe with his left hand and the heroic sword in his right hand collided with each other, and his body was covered in blood, making a terrifying cry.
At this time, Qiu Shengong changed another horse to kill, and the Huai army immediately died under his sword.
On the high slope, Li Jing was far away from the entire battlefield. Under the mist of morning light, the dense Qinhuai army and the two armies fought on the front of the river plain more than ten miles. However, it can be clearly seen that after the wave of the Huai army hit the Qin army's front, it was broken and then rolled back. The formation was no longer solid and began to scatter.
"Your Highness, do you let the cavalry attack?" Liu Xun, the leader of the Shengjie army, said beside him.
Letting the cavalry attack means letting the Black Flag Army and the Feather Cavalry on the left wing attack. Li Jing couldn't help but remember the rumor in the army. Once the Black Flag Army attacked, it means that there will be no change in the battle.
However, the current situation can indeed be used to dispatch heavy cavalry and give the Huai Army that is not defeated.
Li Jing nodded, "Let Li Cunxiao lead the black flag heavy cavalry to attack, defeat the enemy's formation, and block the Huai Army's attempt to reorganize the formation. Let Wang Yanzhang wait a little longer."
"Woo woo woo woo!" The horn sounded rapidly.
Li Jing's messenger rode his horse with a flag on his back and quickly arrived at the left-wing position to convey the latest battle order.
"The Qin King's Army Order, order Li Cunxiao to lead the Black Flag Army to attack immediately!"
Li Cunxiao, wearing heavy armor, sat on the ground with his eyes closed and resting, jumped up immediately and was very excited. "Black Flag Heavy Cavalry, get on the horse immediately!"
Wang Yanzhang walked over with two iron spears. "What about our feather cavalry?"
Li Cunxiao laughed: "Second brother, our Black Flag Army will come first. When we defeat the Huai Army, you will come up and clean the battlefield."
The commander of the cavalry said expressionlessly: "The King of Qin ordered General Wang to lead the Yu cavalry to continue to stand by on the spot." After that, he went back and reported his life directly.
The other three thousand light cavalry of the Black Flag Army were also on standby this time, and they helped the heavy cavalry assemble the vests.
Although there are fewer two thousand heavy cavalrymen in this battlefield with more than 100,000 people, this is an ace force. Once it strikes, it will launch a fatal blow.
Two thousand black horses, black armor, black robe, black armor, black helmet, black flag, heavy cavalry, standing like hills of steel.
The breeze blows on my face with drizzle, and the black flags float!
Li Cunxiao danced with a muddy iron spear in his hand, and the cowhide drum behind him beat like thunder, and the horn of the charge was rapid and long!
Two thousand heavy cavalry formed a storm formation, Li Cunxiao took the lead, and behind him was his flag-holding officer holding up the black flag.
Two thousand black flag tigers went down the mountain, and dragons went out to sea. They put down their armor, held horse spears, and rumbling iron hooves, like a sharp sword, piercing the Huai Army on the front from the left wing.
The wind is howling, the horse is neighing, and the earth is shaking under your feet.
The two thousand heavy cavalry ran faster and faster, and finally rushed towards the Huai Army like an arrow leaving the string.
"Forge a formation, block them!" Gao Yu, who was trying to retreat and re-arrange the array and then organize the charge, couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw the black cavalry full of murderousness. He saw it, and also thought that this cavalry should be Li Jing's treasure, the heavy cavalry black flag army piled up with countless money. This cavalry rarely goes to the battlefield, but every time he goes out, it will end the opponent.
Why didn't he expect that Li Jing actually transferred the heavy cavalry to Huainan. Huainan is not suitable for cavalry combat, and it is even more suitable for heavy cavalry combat.
But at this time, here is an open plain on the river bank.
Yu Gongchu, Yao Guili and other Huai Army generals also knew how powerful the cavalry attacked, not to mention that the opponent was still heavy cavalry. No one dared to retreat at this time. Facing the heavy cavalry, although he knew that head-on confrontation would be a life-and-death death, he would only die faster. If the entire military formation was broken by heavy cavalry, there would be no room for resistance.
"Pulley array"
"Shield Array"
The earth trembled under the feet, and the black flags were getting closer and closer!
The Huai Army is worthy of being the unit led by Gao Pian to fight the north and south. Although many of the soldiers in this army are recruited in Huainan, most of the officers inside are veterans following Gao Pian. They have defeated the Dangxiang cavalry, the Southern Barbarians, and the thieves and riots. They have fought many wars. Although they are shocked at this time, they are still quickly lined up on the spot under the orders.
Rows of iron shields were raised, and countless spears were inserted straight into the ground, and the tips of the spears were shining with a cold light and pointed at the sky.
The Huai Army infantry knelt on the ground with one foot, squatted with one foot, and held the spear mark with both hands. Rows of infantry raised their spears obliquely. In a blink of an eye, the Huai Army had already arranged countless iron spear square formations.
Facing the iron-armored cavalry, Gao Yu's scalp was numb. Heavy cavalry that had long been supposed to withdraw from the stage of history, but Li Jing spent money to accumulate two thousand cavalry. Speaking of which, Li Jing spent countless money to get this heavy cavalry, choose the best war horses, and treat the best, but there are only a handful of battles. If he were in other vassal states, who would have raised such a cost-effective army that seemed extremely powerful but rarely used?
None of the vassal states in the world have such heavy equipment. Even if there are, they only have dozens of horses and hundreds of horses. They will never be like Li Jing, who has a heavy equipment of two thousand horses.
But at this time, when Li Jing's heavy equipment attacked, Gao Yu had to admit that the attack of two thousand heavy equipment cavalry even had the effect of more than 10,000 or even 20,000 light cavalry.
Although light cavalry is strong, infantry is not unable to defeat cavalry.
As soon as the heavy cavalry is released, the Huai Army has no means of restraint. When dealing with heavy cavalry, light cavalry should be the best opponents, sporting heavy cavalry, fighting for endurance, and using riding and shooting. The first thing that cannot be held on is heavy cavalry.
But at present, although Gao Yu had a light cavalry, the number was too small. As long as the Qin army's heavy cavalry rushed straight to the infantry and ignored the light cavalry, he was still helpless. It was also a helpless move to set up a spear formation to deal with the light cavalry.
Gao Yu knew that he had lost this time, and he was so defeated. If he had known this day, he would have stayed in Huaiyin to fight against the raided Qin army and regained the camp.
But now everything is too late, and he is completely trapped in Li Jing's calculation step by step.
The heavy cavalry were getting closer and closer, so close that they could see the cavalry even slim faces, like cans of iron. The other party's face could not be seen, and all they could see was the dark armor, even the war horses were shrouded in the iron armor. The entire cavalry looked like the underworld ghost riders emerging from the Nine Nethers, making people feel cold and grey.
"Shoot the arrow!" Yu Gongchu yelled loudly, and a horn sounded from behind.
Suddenly, the archers protected in the middle of the gun array set off their bows and opened arrows one by one, and shot arrows at the black cavalry that was running towards them.
The arrows were like rain, but the cavalry opposite ignored them. The rain of arrows fell on the heads of the heavy cavalry. There was a burst of tiny sound, and most of them failed to break the armor. They left a white mark on the armor and then slid to the ground. A few drilled into the connection of the armor, but there was also a silk battle robe and a rope iron armor inside, which could not penetrate these three layers of arrows.
The heavy cavalry rushed into the infantry formation from the left with no speed dropping.
Although there were countless spear thorns in front of him, the heavy cavalry were not afraid at all and rushed straight up with the horse.
When the steel plate and the iron spear collided, there were a series of harsh sounds. Countless spears could not withstand the weight of heavy knights, horses and armor, and they were bent and broken. Then the iron horse stepped directly into the infantry formation with an unstoppable momentum.
The heavy cavalry crashed into the formation with a huge impact. The Huai army infantry in the formation was trampled by the heavy cavalry's iron hooves. They were injured when touched, and died when stepped on.
The heavy riders behind continued to attack, like mountains hitting the upper array.
It is like a mountain collapse, like a tsunami, like an earthquake, like an end of the world.
Although many heavy cavalry were killed in battle under the blockade of countless spear forests, even if each heavy cavalry died, it could directly destroy half of the square formation.
Li Jing stood on the high slope and watched as the steel hedgehog formations of the Huai Army were constantly breaking and collapsing under the impact of two thousand heavy cavalrymen. In such field battles, especially ambush battles, the Huai Army had no morgues, no deer feet, no caltrops, no horses, no village walls, no catapult carts, and heavy crossbows. Therefore, the heavy cavalry at this time was almost invincible.
If you hit it, you will be injured and if you hit it, you will be killed. Two thousand cavalry faced the tens of thousands of Huai troops, it was like going deep into a no-man's land, rushing violently and crushing.
Then one by one, the infantry formations cried under their iron hooves, surrendered, and were defeated...
Li Jing watched quietly, waiting until the heavy cavalry attacked for half an hour, completely shattering the infantry formation of the Huai Army. After the Huai Army began to disperse and flee, he nodded with satisfaction, "The heavy cavalry's endurance is almost over. Call them back, and send Wang Yanzhang to lead the feather cavalry and the black flag to attack."
Heavy cavalry is like a heavy hammer. No matter how strong the square formation is, it cannot withstand its hammer, and it will inevitably be broken. But what is strong is explosion and what is lacking is endurance. They can break the formation, but it is difficult for them to annihilate the enemy. Heavy cavalry cannot fight alone, and light cavalry must be followed by relaying and pursuing the enemy.
"The Huai Army is just like this." Liu Xun couldn't help but chuckled when he saw the Huai Army retreating like a tide.
Li Jing smiled. When fighting, hardware is very important, and well-trained soldiers and excellent equipment are required, but software is also very important, and tactics are very important. It is not impossible to defeat the strong with less and defeat the strong with weak. The Huai Army has a good foundation, but in this battle, they were defeated in tactical competition and completely fell into Li Jing's calculations. How could they not be defeated?
"The navy commands the net to close the net." Li Jing let out a sigh of relief. He was sure to win this battle.
