Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 322 The Defense of Tokyo 10
It has to be said that Gao Sheng is worthy of Wushu's value. Among the Han generals under Wushu, his status is second only to Han Chang, and he is definitely a fierce figure.

He rode his horse and killed three Song cavalry in a row, and came straight to the pennant. In his eyes, only the enemy's chief general was in sight. Once he killed the opponent's chief, it could be said that victory was in sight.

Wang Xiu is not a weak scholar either. Well, for a weak scholar, it should be in the Ming and Qing Dynasties hundreds of years later. It is true that the scholars of the Song Dynasty were not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties, but many people still uphold the tradition of the Six Arts and are no strangers to riding and archery. He is an outlier among this kind of scholars. He was ridiculed to learn riding and archery from martial arts in his early years, but now he is really playing on the battlefield. I really don't know what Zhang Qiyuan thinks.

The two are getting closer and closer, just like fate!

However, He Rusuo never expected that this Song Army unit would be so tenacious. He led the cavalry to the front.

It turned out that Jing Bo led the cavalry team to arrive, and a counterattack swept the group of new appendages into chaos. Halfway through his mission, he led the cavalry team to gather quickly.Then, the newly attached troops were scattered and faced with the spearmen holding the gleaming spears. These spearmen formed a dense line of defense, so that they could not escape and had nowhere to hide. The old soldiers were fine, so they hurriedly hid Let others stand on top of the cylinder, and those who are inexperienced will be directly passed through the chest, and they will die tragically at the point of the gun.

Jing Bo's army is a mixed force of horse and infantry. The cavalry he leads has more than [-] cavalry. They are very powerful in combat. They don't love to fight after a successful blow. In this formation, let the outer big cards, spears and crossbowmen close in the front direction, and then cooperate with Bubazi to divide this group of golden troops.

It has to be said that the long-term military career has changed Jing Bo a lot. He is no longer a fierce general who only knows how to charge and kill, but has grown into a standard general.Even though he is just a general, far away from the commander in chief, so what?A country needs not only excellent generals, but also generals who are used to fighting. Without any of them, it will not be powerful and weak.

The re-closing of the army formation allowed the front to restore the interception force. Following the orders of the generals of each team, the Song Army's crossbowmen were still listed in three rows, speeding up the rhythm as much as possible to ensure the shooting effect to the greatest extent.

The footmen of the 78th general were half of the heavy infantry wearing heavy armor. With the cooperation of the cavalry, they divided and killed these new Jin army troops.

"Forgive me, I am the long line of the imperial court."

"I'm a villager from Xiangzhou."

"No, no, I don't want to die."

"The thief bird who forgot his ancestors and classics, kill me."

"It's you bastards who killed it."

In the shadow of the sword, the head, the stump, the broken arm, the blood, and the howling, formed a frightening killing scene. These people who betrayed their country were finally punished. Some were forced to surrender, but the haircut Betrayal, on the battlefield, no mercy, no time to explain.

When these poor people were almost wiped out, Helusuo's cavalry came to kill them. The power of the heavy cavalry of the Golden Army was formidable. They rolled up the billowing smoke and roared towards the front, and the momentum was heartbreaking. .

As the army formation had just been closed, the crossbowmen's cooperation was not in place, and they were quickly killed by the roaring heavy cavalry, and the Song army officers and soldiers panicked for a while.

"Leave the battle." Following Qiu Fu's order, the five-party flag waved, and the horn made a unique sound. The spearmen, swordsmen, and crossbowmen in the front row formed a circular formation as usual, with shields outside and spears. Surrounded by soldiers, supported by bows and crossbows, the heavy cavalry of the Jin Army roared past.

Hand-to-hand combat is the heavy cavalry's forte. They can crush the forces who dare to resist them layer by layer.

However, the Song Army Bubazi did not compete with them at all. The guard troops on the two wings remained the same, but the frontal army formations scattered into one after another independent circle formations that could support each other. The stabbing makes people even harder to guard against.In an instant, more than a dozen heavy cavalry fell from their horses. The lucky ones were killed immediately, and the unlucky ones fell to the ground with injuries. They struggled hard, but the officials who flashed out cut their throats alive with knives or were smashed by copper hammers. Broken head.

This was a lesson Wang Xiu taught Qiu Fu and others when he was about to become an army in 78, and he drew a diagram of the changing formation for them to master flexibly.In fact, it is very simple. It is a change between a large formation and a small formation. It is most appropriate to describe the formation with an outer square and an inner circle. It is infinitely close to the skirmish formation of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and it is very effective against heavy cavalry.

Between the circles, effective cooperation can be carried out, and the heavy cavalry can be slaughtered wantonly.However, the cavalry of the Golden Army were all wearing heavy armor, and they were not proficient in infantry combat.

These Song Army Bubazi were able to kill quickly, and they killed them very smoothly. They hardly needed to worry about themselves.

The cavalry of the Golden Army on both wings rushed into the formation at Helusuo, roaring like beasts at almost the same time, stepped up their horses and rode their horses vigorously, and attacked the Song Army formation from the side, trying to defeat the formation in one fell swoop.

The soldiers of the Song army still used the old routine. The guard troops on the side used three rows of crossbow arrows to shoot in turn, and sniped the enemy approaching. It was a matter of life and death for the entire army. Within more than ten steps, they still maintained their superb tactical literacy, calmly and calmly stretching their crossbows, nodding arrows, aiming, shooting, and retreating a series of actions.

If you want to rush in, you can!I will make a way out, and once you rush in, I will form a defensive line again, and snipe and kill other golden cavalry who dare to approach, so that you can deal with the coordinated circle inside.

The Golden Army's attack wave after wave, wave after wave of attack, made it unbearable for them.

For the soldiers, the test of life and death has long passed. Those who are not afraid of death have become more crazy, and those who are afraid of death have become numb. The lucky ones are still alive, and the unlucky ones have already died in battle.

The robes kept falling down, and the corpses were carried down one by one. I didn't know whether the next one would be myself or someone else.No one dared to think about it seriously, at least when the battle was fierce, there was no time to think about it. The price of a distraction was life, and no one could afford such a high price.

With a strong body and a handsome face, Cheng Jiao held a black lacquered bow, gritted his teeth, and shot deadly arrows at the cavalry who came into his range.

Even though he was just an ordinary soldier, his strong bow and arrows never failed. Every time he shot, a cavalryman of the Golden Army almost fell down, which aroused the applause of his comrades in arms.
