Chapter 504: It's a mess


The war horses began to gallop, and the Jiannu knights on the horses picked up the bows, which was their ability to ride and shoot.

The Han people lack war horses, but they do not lack combat experience, in the face of the rising and dying nomads of the steppe for thousands of years, the Han people have studied a complete set of various formations to resist the cavalry, but for the restraint of the nomads' cavalry no matter in which battle, they must rely on the will to resist.

This time was no exception.

But this time the exception is that it is Jin Hengguang's Ming army that suffers, because according to normal battles, when the large corps faces the nomadic cavalry battle, the Ming army has to carry all kinds of firearms that have developed to the point of metamorphosis, all kinds of longbows and short crossbows, what tiger guns, general cannons, fire rockets, bed crossbows, three-armed crossbows, eight-bull crossbows, that is like no money to greet those cavalry and archery enemies from a long distance first, but this time Jin Hengguang did not, except for the gun in his hand, there was almost nothing.

Originally, a brigade was equipped with half longbowmen, but this time, in order to adapt to street fighting, only a hundred longbows were left, and the rest were replaced with swords and shields.

Now, when I faced the enemy this time, I suffered a big loss.

The streets are narrow, there are not so many longbowmen, and it is impossible to cover and kill the unfolded surface of the attacking enemy, but accurate shooting is not the training subject of these longbowmen at all.

Seeing Jiannu rushing along the long street, Jin Hengguang loudly ordered the few longbowmen: "Prepare to release" The first batch of only twenty giant arrows rose into the air, and the result was nothing more than four or five Jiannu people with arrows from their horses, and they tumbled to the ground.

"Second batch, put" Twenty more huge arrows flew out, this time slightly better than the last time, but it was only five or six down, but more Jiannu cavalry rushed over, and they rushed to within the distance of the cavalry, and shot the bows and arrows in their hands.

Jiannu's cavalry is accurate, rushing in the first row are all experienced white armor soldiers, they avoided the Ming army's tightly protected rattan armor, and the feather arrows went straight to the face and throat of the Ming army brothers, just a shot of the six war horses in front of them, so that the five brothers were killed on the spot, and the horse pistol array blocked on the long street immediately fell down in a row, so that the horse formation leaked flaws.

The Red Armor that followed the White Armor also shot their bows and arrows, killing the four brothers, and the first column of horses was already in tatters.

Zhao Quan was no longer panicked at this time, calmly watched his brothers being killed, and calmly gave an order: "Second team, make up the formation." ” The second squad of spearmen mechanically followed the order and made up for the missing first formation.

"The third team makes up the second team."

The third team strode forward and filled the second formation, and so many substitutions made the long street again full of guns.

"Longbow shooting."

"Longbow shooting."

Jin Hengguang kept repeating the monotonous order with red eyes, row after row of giant arrows flew into the sky, and pieces of Jiannu continued to be killed by arrows, but on the long street, the war horses had no room to turn around, and the surviving Jiannu had no intention of escaping, so they bumped into the horse pistol formation without hesitation.

The sound of the gun breaking, the mournful screams of the war horses, and the screams of the soldiers on both sides immediately rose into the sky.

The war horse fell, and the Jiannu on the horse rushed into the gun forest, and was immediately penetrated by the outstretched spear, but those who did not die waved their knives at the last moment of their lives and slashed at the spearmen, but as a result, their knives could only cut through the vine armor of their brothers, and the damage caused was minimal.

But the cavalry in front used their lives to open a gap for the comrades who came from behind, and immediately a steady stream of Jiannu rushed into the gun array, launching a massacre, yes, a massacre, in the face of this small area, a thin defensive line, the spears suffered a big loss in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, Chen Che immediately made a decision and yelled at the brothers after the second formation: "Retreat ten steps back and line up." ” This is a good way, the brothers in front used their lives to make Jiannu's war horses no longer gallop and attack, and now they can arrange the formation again, and the power of the spear formation can be revealed.

The brothers in the second row followed the order and strode back ten steps, and then lined up a thick gun array, one by one with red eyes, just watching the thirty brothers of the first team being slaughtered by Jiannu in front of them.

Jiannu killed all the spearmen in front of him, and when he looked up, ten paces away, another forest of spears was erected.

The horses could no longer run, and the soldiers on the horses had no advantage, but the battle continued, and the other party must be eliminated to avenge the more than fifty brothers who died under the terrible giant arrows when they just charged.

Seeing that all the thirty brothers were lost, Jin Hengguang's heart was dripping blood, he attacked hastily in this battle, and immediately lost hundreds of brothers, how can this be explained to his mentor Lu Hanqiang.

Chen Che's military report deliberately slowed down a step, giving Lu Hanqiang a time difference between his actions, and when Lu Hanqiang received the military report, Jin Hengguang's troops had already set off for a long time, and even if they wanted to catch up and withdraw the military order, it was too late.

Under Lu Hanqiang's majestic gaze, the messenger who delivered the letter had to tell the truth about the process, and Lu Hanqiang's hand holding the military newspaper was trembling slightly, which was a kind of yang and yin violation, his heart was commendable but his deeds were hateful.

"How many troops to send" Lu Hanqiang took a long time to sink his heart, and asked seriously, since it can't be stopped, you have to think of a remedy, anger will not solve the problem.

"The first and second brigades are all dispatched, and the three brigades and the supplementary team remain behind."

The herald glanced at the overseer with a blushing face, and whispered in return.

"How to arrange" "At the beginning of the research, Chen Che joined the army and gave two plans, one was to attack Gaogezhuang at night, and the other was to ambush halfway, but Jin Shoubei thought that the halfway ambush would hurt the people, so he chose to attack Gaogezhuang in the middle of the night."

Hearing this choice, Lu Hanqiang nodded lightly with satisfaction, Jin Hengguang still loves the people, so his face softened: "Staffing." ” "All spearmen, longbowmen into sword and shield soldiers."

"Nonsense."

Wang Dazhuang didn't wait for Lu Hanqiang to speak, and smashed his fist on the arm of the chair, and suddenly stood up and yelled.

The shout startled the herald.

"Longbowmen are our biggest reliance on the Jiannu cavalry, and let the longbowmen who have been trained for a long time be converted into sword and shield soldiers, these archers have not undergone much sword and shield training at all, this is a self-cutting arm, how can we give up the strengths and weaknesses, this is suicide."

Lu Hanqiang closed his eyes in pain.

According to the military report, what Chen Che detected was only Jiannu's Niu Lu 300 people, and these 300 people and horses were already a big enemy, and it was almost impossible for Jin Hengguang's 2,000 men and horses to solve it.

And the most terrible thing for them is to miss the Goryeo stick, the coated slave of the Jiannu. t1706231537:
