The struggle of the reborn prince

Liang E's idea was right. Less than half of the Baotai army's cavalry troops stayed in the camp, and the infantry accounted for more than half. One charge suffered heavy losses. If they continued to fight, the cavalry troops would suffer all casualties. The army is almost all cavalry, and it will definitely not win if you fight hard; if you forcefully break through at this time, return to the country a hundred miles away, and use the two legs of the infantry to fight the four hooves of the cavalry, the outcome is known without thinking; Relying on Dazhai's defense and waiting for reinforcements is the only safe strategy, but the ideal is good, but the reality is cruel. If Liang E is facing the traditional Song army, this plan is still feasible, but what they are facing is using firearms Armed army with sharp claws

When the horn of Xia Jun's withdrawal had just sounded, a group of Xia Jun cavalry rushed up like moths to the flame, Zhao Lian immediately realized that Xia Jun was going to hide in his old nest and defend his troops with the stronghold. Most of them are hussars, and they are good at field battles rather than attacking fortified positions. If Xia's army sneaks into the camp, it will take time and effort to clean them up. Try to keep Xia's army outside the camp, each of the machine artillery teams fired violently to intercept them, and the artillery battalion directly under the army used mortars to hoist the Xia army's camp, blocking their way back to the camp

Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Facing the Xia army who regards death as home, Gao Chong is extremely excited. He immediately ordered the whole army to mount and line up in a dense horizontal line with the capital as the unit. The waves rush towards Xia Jun

The distance between two arrows is only a moment for the charging cavalry. The artillery of the Dragon General fired two rounds of artillery fire in the fastest time, and the cavalry who blocked the charge bought time for the whole team, and then immediately withdrew from the position to give way to the cavalry. The machine gun teams assigned to each battalion on the exit channel shot crazily on the two wings, hitting the highest shot possible to cause the greatest damage to the Xia army, disrupting the enemy's charge formation, slowing down their charge speed, and reducing the impact until the two armies were about to When they collide with each other, they are afraid of accidentally injuring themselves, so they helplessly stop shooting

The violent artillery fire and continuous machine gun shooting caused a lot of trouble for the Xia army's broken cavalry. Those who rushed in the front rushed into the range and just drew their bows, often before the arrows were shot, they were swept to the ground. The Xia army was so terrified that they couldn't shoot their bows or cut them with their knives, so they could only brave the rain of bullets. They pressed their bodies tightly on the horse's back and charged the horses. Horsemanship and knife proficiency triumphed, but that was just a small trouble they encountered, and the biggest trouble came from their own mounts.

Horses are very smart animals. If they know that there is danger ahead, they will not run straight into it and die, even if they have been strictly trained. If there is a gap, they will sneak in cleverly, or at the last moment. They will lower their speed, turn around and run away. The Xia Army's horses have not been trained against explosions and fire like the Zhongyong Army's horses. Of course they have no resistance to such things. They will inevitably panic and fight timidly. Distribute most of the energy to control the horses. Under the double blow, there is not much energy to maintain the formation. . .

The cavalry charge of the Loyalist Army is a dense formation based on strict military discipline and cruel training, but the formation is not airtight from the beginning, and there is at least one horse's length between the horses before the charge It will be wider in the future. Such a distance allows them to interrupt their charge and turn at any time without causing confusion. It is convenient for bypassing obstacles on the road, and it is also conducive to shooting. The field of vision is also good, and they can maintain the formation well.

Their charge often starts from [-] paces away, which is far beyond the effective shooting range of infantry and bows at that time. Generally, the starting position of the charge will not be too far from the enemy, otherwise it will be a needless waste of horsepower. Take ten steps, then trot for a hundred steps, then jog, then gallop, and finally slow down for thirty steps, which is conducive to maintaining the formation and causing the greatest instant impact on the enemy's infantry formation. In the final stage of the charge, sometimes the second line will insert The gap in the first horizontal team makes the first horizontal team form a tighter formation, which is the so-called 'knee to knee', and the distance is about the width of a horse, which doubles the impact

The combat effectiveness of cavalry lies in the formation of formations. Cavalry without formation is the same as modern single tanks. Whether it is heavy cavalry or light cavalry, they must rely on formation to exert their combat effectiveness. Cavalry without formation can easily Being crushed by the neatly formed cavalry unit, comparing the two, the judgment is judged. . .

When the Cavalry Army and the Zhongyong Army, which had been beaten to death and wounded more than half, collided with each other, it was like an egg hitting a stone. Three or five people chased down a Xia army. Now that they have those Northwestern natives and Fan soldiers who are skilled in riding skills, their combat effectiveness has also risen in a straight line. The Xia army can't take advantage of it in hand-to-hand combat

Liang E painfully watched the [-] cavalry struggling and being destroyed by the guns and sabers of the Zhongyong Army, but there was nothing they could do. The cavalry of the loyal and brave army appeared. The infantry without formation faced the charging cavalry like a tiger in a pack of wolves.

"Young master, let's go quickly, the camp cannot be defended," a family general shouted, holding the reins of the beam forehead of the army who was going back to rescue the former army.

"Let go, the camp is lost, how can we gain a foothold, how can we receive the prince?" Liang E whipped the general and shouted

"Young master, the old patriarch was killed. If the young master is injured again, we can't explain to the tribe. Now that the Song army is attacking fiercely, even if we return to the camp, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on until the capital commander comes to help. It is better to break through as soon as possible." Pulling the rein of the horse and not letting go, weeping bitterly

"Breakthrough?" Liang E smiled wryly with tears in his eyes. The general's words were just to comfort himself, in other words, to escape, but the cavalry might be able to escape, what about the remaining ten thousand infantry

"General, the gate of the camp is blocked. The army cannot enter the camp. The enemy's attack is fierce. Please make a decision." Just as Liang E and his family were arguing, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

At this time, the gate of the camp had become a sea of ​​flames. The tents were on fire, and the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in. The Song Army cavalry on the two wings quickly formed an outflanking formation to block the way back, and Xia, who couldn't return to the camp, The army had to stop, re-arranged to fight, and turned around to resist. They had basically lost their mobility.

If the formation of the Xia army is not scattered, the cavalry of the Song army will disperse and turn to the side, and then return to their own side to regroup and charge again. The cavalry of the Song army stabbed by the spear was under the impact of the horse. The horse corpse and the cavalry smashed into the infantry of the Xia army like a bowling ball, and caused a large gap in the enemy infantry formation. Do it, you must know that the cantering speed of a horse is equivalent to a human's full sprint. If a charge fails, the cavalry will use multiple waves of shocks. This repeated attack is carried out continuously, because the teams are far apart and do not need to be too strict , the formation of the loyal and brave army is easy to regroup after being far away from the enemy. If it is well mastered, the enemy will have no chance to reorganize the formation, and the loopholes in the formation will become bigger and bigger

Under this kind of uninterrupted attack, it is difficult for both the infantry phalanx and the cavalry phalanx to fight back quickly at this time, and it is necessary to keep the formation tight. An attack from the flanks of the enemy is more powerful than a frontal attack, while the cavalry can attack from all sides, forming a centripetal effect. At this time, the enemy's infantry formation will be under great pressure

Liang Er saw that his formation was constantly being attacked by the Song army. As a general, he knew that even though his army was well-trained, he couldn't resist the frequent attacks. The morale of the army is shaken, and the formation is chaotic. Once the Song army breaks through a breakthrough or some soldiers in the formation escape, the cavalry can insert the loopholes in the formation, and then disrupt the formation, directly sweeping the infantry formation of one's own side, which is the end of the annihilation of the entire army. . .

Leopard General Zhao Hui led the army to attack the left flank of Xia Army according to the order. Xia Jun used strong bows and crossbows to block their attacks several times, and killed or injured twenty or thirty sergeants. He immediately called up two locomotives 'Attack again, the current carriage has been further modified and strengthened, the horses pulling the carriage are wearing heavy armor, and the carriage is also covered with bunkers covered with iron plates, which not only can prevent the shooting of bows and arrows, but also have a certain impact force

The addition of two locomotives immediately changed the situation of the battle. The fierce firepower immediately tore a gap in Xia Jun's left flank. Wu Taoying, who cooperated with the attack, quickly attacked from the gap. There was no way to stop it, the left wing began to collapse, and the entire formation began to shake

"General, the left wing is lost"

"General, the Song army is approaching the Chinese army"

"General, the right wing is broken"

"General, the men and horses supporting the camp were scattered and fled, and the camp fell."

"General, the Song army breaks through the central army, please general..." Liang E continued to dispatch troops to seal the gap, but the army was defeated like a mountain and was broken everywhere. There were only less than a thousand guards left beside him. With no soldiers to send, he slashed down the panicked general of the Chinese army, and he would know what the words were even if he didn't listen to them

"Today, my Liang family is destroyed. Both father and son died in Song Dynasty. It is considered loyalty. The generals will follow me to kill the enemy..." Liang E looked up to the sky and sighed, took off his helmet and threw it aside, drew his sword and shouted, but Sudden pain in the back of the head, blurry eyes, shaking twice, fell off the horse

"Liang Qian, you take the young master to break through the siege to the north, and I hold the handsome flag to the south to attract the attention of the Song army. Remember to send the young master back to the capital to let the sage understand today's defeat. I, the Liang family, wiped out the clan, all because Brother Cha is conceited, because he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward." A family member knocked Liang's forehead unconscious with a palm, and ordered his subordinates to say, after saying that, he took the handsome flag and led a hundred people to rush to the south without hesitation (to be continued)
