Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 481 Take it as your duty to protect the governor (seeking subscription!)

...

There is a very wide space in the middle of the conical formation formed by the coalition forces.

Using this vast space, the [-] fine cavalry led by Wu Yanguang can fully accelerate, so that the [-] fine cavalry can exert their maximum combat power.

However, Wu Yanguang did not rush to charge, but kept pressing the [-] spirits under his command to make them move forward slowly.

In the land of three arrows, ride slowly, thinking of persecution.

With one arrow, charge the horse to defeat the enemy!
This is the common sense of Mobei cavalry combat.

At this moment, the [-] fine cavalry led by Wu Yanguang can still be so calm.

Coupled with the powerful momentum shown by the [-] elite riders.

Let Liu Kai and the front-line commander Han Shizhong feel like they are facing the enemy.

At the Land of Three Arrows, the [-] elite riders finally began to run, and the ground shook accordingly!
There is no war drum, but the power of thousands of galloping horses is more shocking than the war drum. The rumbling sound is like tens of thousands of thunders erupting together!
Seeing this, Han Shizhong immediately used his last resort, that is, a small crescent formation composed of [-] heavy armored infantry and [-] firemen, preparing for the most critical stage of this battle.

After receiving Han Shizhong's order, tens of thousands of horses were immediately mobilized in an orderly manner.

Not long after, the small crescent formation was let out by others.

The formation was commanded by Wang Gui, Guo Hao, and Yang Congyi.

Wang Gui commanded the central army, while Guo Hao and Yang Congyi commanded the left and right wings.

Wang Gui, Guo Hao, Yang Congyi and others divided the [-] heavy cavalry into [-] groups, each with [-] heavy armored infantry, and [-] sabers and heavy axes were dragged upside down on the ground. In the decisive battle, the fire soldiers were divided into a thousand groups, interspersed among the heavy infantry in a chaotic and orderly manner.

The two sides have not yet officially confronted each other, but the murderous intent of mutual indifference has spread...

……

The big detour of the first battalion was not as smooth as expected.

The right wing of the coalition forces ran obliquely to the northeast for five or six miles.

If the first battalion wanted to circumvent this direction from the outside, it had to march at least fifteen or six miles north-northeast, and then it was possible to circle behind the coalition forces.

The first battalion walked all the way, waiting for the Liao army to send people to intercept them.

Yang Zaixing and others believe that this is almost certain to happen-they don't believe that the coalition forces will allow them to reach behind it safely.

But the fact is still beyond the expectations of Yang Zaixing and others!

They have all walked nearly ten miles, and there is no army to stop them!

However, although the coalition forces did not send troops to stop them, the road became more and more difficult.

At first, they just felt like stepping on it like mud.

In the end, it was just one pit after another!

After a while, when I looked around, I saw that there were potholes in front of my eyes, just like the fields that had just been plowed.

Moreover, some pits are big and some are small. The small pits make the knight feel swaying from side to side, and the big pits can directly break the horse's legs. Occasionally, some huge pits can even eat people and horses!
It was quickly judged that this was a trap for the Han people to deal with the nomads.

Back then, Song Guo used this trick to deal with the Liao cavalry in Hebei.

Unexpectedly, the Liao Kingdom actually learned this trick.

Looking at the endless pit formation, Yang Zaixing and others finally knew why the coalition forces didn't send troops to stop them - if they insisted on passing through the trap formation and going around behind the coalition forces to use Millennium Kill, I'm afraid that the war will have come to an end by then, and the role they can play will be very limited.

……

A stone's throw away!
Wu Yanguang finally started to take the lead in running quickly, and quickly approached the small crescent formation of the Liangshan Army—although he could see that the formation on the opposite side was extraordinary, but the confident Wu Yanguang still led the army led by Ali without hesitation. The sharp knives formed by Qi, Qiongyao Nayan and other fierce generals directly wedged towards the small crescent formation!

At the moment of the battle, Wang Gui decisively ordered: "Cut!"

The blade was as bright as snow, and it slashed at the cavalry on the opposite side like a wind wheel!
Soon, the two sides collided, and the [-] coalition troops led by Wu Yanguang, Ari Qi, Qiong Yaonayan and other fierce generals wedged into the small crescent formation like a steel cone!
This first round of impact relied more on the momentum of the horse than the strength of the human arm!
The two tips of the small crescent formation came into contact with the enemy earlier than the concave ones in the center. Under the command of Guo Hao and Yang Congyi, the long knives and heavy axes slashed and killed the elite cavalry of the coalition forces in pieces.

But the central part, the situation is not good.

Relying on their high martial arts skills and the momentum of their horses, Wu Yanguang, Ali Qi, Qiong Yaonayan and other fierce generals quickly broke through the first line of defense, then the second line, and the third line...

Those who act as sharp knives with fierce generals such as Wu Yanguang, Ali Qi, and Qiong Yao Nayan, the worst ones have the courage of a hundred men.

Relying on the momentum of their horses, they were invincible at the beginning of the battle.

The central army of the coalition army immediately sounded the drums to boost morale.

Inspired by the sound of the drum, the entire coalition army charged forward.

For the Liangshan army, the good side is that the coalition forces are getting deeper and deeper, and if they can win this battle, the victory will become bigger and bigger. He rushed to the central army of the Liangshan Army, then beheaded Li Yan, and then lost the battle, lost the current good situation of Shuibo Liangshan, and even brought disaster to Shuibo Liangshan, a force with an infinite future.

In other words, this is the most critical part of this battle.

Seeing that there seemed to be an unstoppable trend, Wang Gui ordered the death squads that had been prepared long ago to prepare for a counterattack, and at the same time ordered the fire soldiers to attack freely.

The fire soldiers distributed in the small crescent formation were ordered to use the flames from the fierce fire oil tank to burn the elite cavalry of the coalition army.

The flames ejected from this fiery oil tank can sputter, adhere to and continue to burn, and those who are hit will not die immediately, but die screaming in pain while burning, causing a huge psychological shock to the surrounding soldiers.

Therefore, the fire soldiers put a lot of psychological pressure on the Jingqi of the coalition forces, so that many Jingqi hesitated to move forward.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Gui sent Yao Zheng to personally lead a death squad with explosive packs to meet Jingqi and counterattack.

The Death Squad, from Yao Zheng down, all hold the belief that they must die: "No matter what, let their speed slow down, otherwise the life of the governor will not be guaranteed!"

In the crescent formation, the two tips are strong and the center is weak.

Choosing to use this formation is to first defeat the two wings of the coalition forces as the goal, and the task of the central force is to dispel the impact of the coalition forces, which is "blunt its edge and break its two wings".

When the two wings of the coalition army are broken, the Liangshan army will be able to surround and annihilate the most elite troops of the coalition army.

But the coalition forces dared to use the awl formation to fight, and what they were holding was "beheading from the heart". In other words, Li Yan's head was the ultimate goal of the coalition forces, and it was also the key to their victory.

Ranger harassment before the decisive battle, "beheading and digging out the heart" during the decisive battle is a common trick of the nomadic cavalry in Mobei, and it will continue until the Mongolian cavalry era in the Temujin period.

And the Great Governor is the soul of their power. Once the Great Governor is beheaded by the coalition forces, then their power may collapse, not to mention, they will definitely lose in this battle, and then all of them will be these Mobei nomadic cavalry No one can go home, even if they are lucky enough to go back, they will not be able to escape the ruthless military law of the Military Justice Department.

This was instilled in them repeatedly by the Political Department at the beginning of the war.

Therefore, the entire Liangshan army took it as their duty to protect the governor.

After the death squads rushed up, they fought desperately at first. If they died in battle or were injured in battle, they themselves or the firemen waited for an opportunity to detonate the explosives on their bodies.

The Jingqi of the coalition army had never seen such a terrifying attack before, and they were stunned. The previous indomitable momentum slowly receded, and the [-] Jingqi, including the coalition army behind them, slowly slowed down...
