Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!
Chapter 84 A bloody battle to the end
After Lan Guifang issued the order, he felt a little regretful.
Obviously, the situation on the opposite side today seems ordinary, but it actually contains a lot of hidden secrets.
In the distance, General Cheng Jushu was also worried about Prince Zhao going to the front to break into the enemy camp. After all, he was the son-in-law of his good brother, Prince Zhao Xin. If something really happened to him, how would he explain it when he returned?
But everything that just happened seemed like a morning dream, passing by in a flash!
"You saw it clearly, tell me if this is true?" Cheng Jushu asked the guards around him.
To be on the safe side, more than 10,000 people were ambushed behind Zhao Sheng's team to prevent the new army from being defeated and to rescue them.
"Yes, General, Prince Zhao's fighting style is really novel!" The guard beside him answered in time.
Last night, Cheng Jushu received a private message from Li Xin, which roughly meant that Zhao Sheng had lived in Shangjing since he was a child and had no experience in leading troops in battle, so he hoped to be taken care of.
After reading the letter, Zhao Sheng had already said what he wanted to say, and if he made any temporary changes, he might not be convinced by the generals in the army.
But the current situation is clearly planned. The attack is organized in a clear layer, leaving no room for the enemy. The most crucial thing is the weapons they use.
From a distance, I saw powerful crossbows and bows, but something felt off. Why did they make explosive noises when they fell?
Lan Guifang had the same idea and thought to himself: This group of 10,000 cavalrymen will never be able to return!
According to their previous battle examples on the grassland, at this time they can only fight a large number of people, and they can kill the enemy by piling up their numbers.
According to the conventional formation, the three columns should have a formation of about 15,000 people. According to the military organization of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is equivalent to the standard of a lieutenant general or a general of the central army.
Lan Guifang made up his mind and immediately released two more 10,000 cavalrymen to rush towards the enemy's two left and right camps, and asked them to speed up.
In order to increase the probability of insurance, he sent a team of 10,000 cavalrymen to charge the central army to prevent the front team from failing and give the other side some breathing time.
This shows that Lan Guifang is quite experienced in combat. With such a large-scale human wave tactic, no one can escape between the valleys.
A similar scene started from the central army, but unexpectedly, when they saw corpses and wailing wounded soldiers all over the ground, they unconsciously split into two teams and launched an attack.
There will be a gap in the middle of the V-shaped battle formation. On the one hand, it is reserved for temporary reinforcements to rush forward, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the troops to disperse and fight during the battle.
For infantry to fight against cavalry in this way, it is basically giving away heads, or relying on numbers, if it is a large plain, such a formation can have more than 100,000 people.
After the first group of Hun cavalry attacked the central army and separated, they did not escape the fate of being hit by a rain of arrows, but they were relatively better off than the previous group, and the casualties were only a small number.
Because they were separated, they inevitably got close to the two armies on the left and right. The riflemen at the front of the row saw that they were within their shooting range and hurriedly aimed at the Hun cavalry and fired.
With the crossfire between the central and border troops, the entire army was once again annihilated.
However, the cavalry attacks on the border troops from two directions came one after another, causing the new troops on both sides to panic.
After all, they were a new army, and it was their first time on the battlefield. During training, the instructors told them many times not to panic on the battlefield, and even asked them to stand under the rain of arrows and not dodge the flying arrows to increase their determination in facing death.
But on the actual battlefield, facing the tall and powerful Xiongnu cavalry, and their speed was so swift, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous. Some people took a long time to install the bullet wheel hub.
Fortunately, the first round of defense was arrows and archers. Even with the rain of arrows, the cavalry still used their shields to block it. The explosion completely destroyed their courage, and they thought to themselves:
Oh my god! I want to go home and find my mom!
A famous person in the Central Plains once said: Those who make mistakes must be punished. If one punishment is not enough, then punish them several times. No one who has been punished can escape death.
After a burst of explosions, the border troops on both sides were met with a burst of rifle fire.
The barbarian army was beaten dizzy and didn't know whether they should move forward or retreat for a moment. After all, they didn't have many people left.
At this time, the last cavalry of the Nalan tribe came over. They originally wanted to charge the central army, but seeing the piles of corpses in the middle blocking their progress, they decided to go around it.
Seeing the cavalry coming from behind, the few remaining soldiers followed and continued to move forward.
The crossbows on both sides had run out of arrows and had no time to restring them, so they could only pick up their weapons and prepare to meet the enemy. The archers were quick to reload and still fired a round.
If this kind of contact-exploding arrow does not hit the target, even if it explodes, it will not cause much harm, but will scare the horse.
The front row soldiers had also run out of bullets in their guns, and there was no time to change the magazines. After all, at high speed, cavalry could reach a speed of 80, so a range of 200 steps could be reached in less than ten breaths.
The vanguard quickly formed up. Each red flag had an iron spear head on it, and the back was wrapped with a one-meter-long iron sheet. The spear head was facing forward. Only a fool would ride a horse and charge into it.
As a second best option, they slipped into the gap and immediately discovered that countless halberds were pointing at the horse's head, with hooks in the middle of the halberds aimed at the horse's legs.
Many horses did not react in time and were stabbed in the head and legs, or had their legs hooked.
The advantage of the halberd is that it has a side block on the front stab, which not only acts as a hook and sickle spear, but also prevents the halberd from piercing too deep, making it impossible to pull out the halberd, and the enemy will chop off your head with a counterattack.
Even if there were enemies with quick reactions, their horses would neigh when being gored, and they could jump down, grab the enemy's spear, and swing their swords at the enemy.
"Danglanglang!"
The knife hit the man's head, but he found that the helmet was extremely hard. Sparks flew between the blade and the helmet, but the man was not hurt at all. Instead, he was stabbed by the long spear from behind and was pushed back to the horse's back.
The musketeers retreated to reload, and some climbed onto the roofs of the carriages, raising their guns and shooting at the wandering cavalry.
The Xiongnu cavalry also drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the archers on the roof of the car.
They were warriors on the grasslands, heroes who once shot eagles from the sky, and could hit the target with a single arrow from a hundred paces away. But today they found that the arrows they shot had no effect on them at all.
Even if there were experts who could use armor-piercing arrows, they were unable to shoot these people down.
The last 10,000 warriors of the Nalan tribe rushed into the gap between the T-shaped formation, and soon they discovered that there were at least 10,000 people in each square formation.
After they were separated, they were quickly trapped by these iron-armored men. Long spears stabbed at them, and swords slashed at them. There was no hope for those who were still alive.
Destruction! In an instant, everything went black and the battle was over.
Soon, slogans of lining up were heard from the team, and the team stood in the shape of a V again.
The team did not continue to move forward, but instead artificially formed a path two arms' length on both sides of the team, where the injured people were just being sent out.
Behind the center of the new army was Zhao Sheng, his medical staff, and a personal guard of more than a hundred people.
Not many people were carried out. Some of them could be said to have not been injured, but just felt pain in their muscles from overexerting themselves. After removing their armor, they discovered that it was just a misunderstanding.
