Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 381
Chai Lin said: "Niugao, it's all right, the arrow is not bad."

Niu Gao was a little proud, and said: "Of course, I am a natural archer."

Dian Zhengnan said: "You child, if you praise you for a few words, you will be lost. I will throw out a painting halberd and knock down five or six."

After a while, Pang Wanchun and others also came up. Now the enemy is completely finished, the vanguard officials have been killed, only more than a thousand rebels fled in all directions.

"Zhengnan, Niu Gao, lead troops to guard around and guard against the enemy's sneak attack." Chai Lin ordered.

"Yes." These two people led troops to guard, even if it was a home game, they should not be careless, otherwise they might die.

"Wanchun." Chai Lin looked at Pang Wanchun, who was in blood-stained armor.

"How about your battalion casualties?"

"The casualties were heavy. The recruits lost more than 200 veterans to the veterans of the Liao Kingdom, and their morale was a little low," Pang Wanchun said.

Chai Lin said: "Now the Liao soldiers have been beaten and fled by the special warfare battalion, but there are more than a thousand people, it is a good time for you to regain morale. Don't follow too closely, chase and beat them with bows and arrows, remember to let them escape for a few hundred people."

Pang Wanchun said, "Understood."

Turning his head to the front of the team, he ran back and forth twice.

Said: "The enemy has already fled in embarrassment, and there are less than 1000 people. Just now the general soldier asked me if I dared to chase, and you said, would I dare?"

They are all 23-year-old men, full of vigor, dare not chase, who do you look down on?
"Dare, dare. Go after them and beat them hard." The light cavalry roared.

There are three thousand light cavalry battalions and four lieutenants, among which Ma Lin is the best. The overall lineup is still nothing to say, and the soldiers are equipped with sufficient weapons.

"Chase."

Pang Wanchun hung up his gun and changed his bow, and took the lead in chasing up. More than 2000 cavalry swarmed up behind him, chasing in the direction where the enemy was fleeing.

The area around Gaoyang is full of plains, and it's just after the autumn harvest, and the enemy troops are running around in the fields like sown millet.

Originally, he came to hunt Caogu, robbed some money, silver and other supplies and went back. Who would have thought that the two pioneers, the principal and the deputy, would be finished.The generals at all levels are almost wiped out, and now it is no longer an organizational system. Everyone has only one idea, so run home.

The Liao soldiers rode tall horses, tall and long-legged, and weighed about [-] catties, which was [-] catties heavier than the smaller grassland horses. The battle started in the morning, and they haven't rested yet, and their horsepower is also exhausted.

Feathered arrows swished towards him behind him, and cavalrymen continued to fall off their horses.

This group of defeated soldiers planned to go to Jizhou. There was their team near Jizhou, and the distance between the two armies was only more than a hundred miles.

Pang Wanchun led his men to chase for fifty or sixty miles, and the horses were sweating and steaming, and they were boiling.

Pang Wanchun waved his hand and shouted: "Stop chasing and rest where you are. Ma Lin leads people to be vigilant."

"Yes." Ma Lin led hundreds of people to spread out to be vigilant.

Suddenly hundreds of people came from the direction of the village, Ma Lin became nervous, who is this.

When I looked at it clearly, I found that hundreds of villagers came here carrying hay, boiled eggs and steamed buns.

Ma Lin asked: "Fellow townspeople, why are you here?"

"You are fighting the Liao soldiers, and we are here to deliver food. There is everything for people to eat and horses." Everyone said.

"Guys, go back. It's too dangerous here. Enemy soldiers may come over at any time. When you return to the village, close the village gate to guard against the enemy. We have food and fodder here. Take them back," Ma Lin said.

How can everyone agree, "You fight the Liao soldiers, we can't help you with anything else, it's okay to get something."

Seeing that Ma Lin couldn't shirk, he had to ask everyone to put down their things and return to the village quickly.

"Okay, put things here, let's go back."

The villagers hurriedly put their things on the ground and turned back to the village.

The soldiers took the corn pellets on their horses, but the grassland horses still like to eat grass, and they came to eat grass one by one.

Pang Wanchun asked someone to check the hair, and found that there was no problem with the food and fodder, so he was relieved.

Pang Wanchun held an egg and said, "Have you seen this? This is the power of the masses. The masses support us and will give us various kinds of help. So we must love the people and not bully the people."

The soldiers' self-confidence returned. In the one-hour pursuit just now, more than 500 enemies were annihilated, and more than 500 horses were captured.

After a while, the time for the Intelligence Department arrived.

Pang Wanchun didn't like this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheek guy, but he couldn't learn his skills by himself.

Shi Qian said: "Battle Commander Pang, pass on an order to my brother to choose a dangerous place to set up camp, and stop chasing him."

Pang Wanchun said, "Why?"

"A hundred miles ahead is the main force of the enemy army. Wu Yanguang's general Kou Zhenyuan led [-] troops, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. There are also thousands of newly surrendered Jizhou Xiang troops, which should not be underestimated. .”

Pang Wanchun scolded: "These bastards can't fight, they surrendered very quickly."

"It's not far from Jizhou, Battalion Commander Pang paid more attention." After Shi Qian finished speaking, he returned to Gaoyang City.

Temporary camps will definitely not be camped. The group found a place to leeward, buried pots to make food, and fed horses to feed them.At night, the soldiers took the small quilts on the horse's back and leaned on the cat overnight.

This is the difference between light cavalry and infantry. Infantry marching overnight requires camping, digging trenches, and burying horses.

Besides, in Gaoyang City, Chai Gang led the transport team up, with 6000 people and [-] carts.

When I came to the battlefield, I was dumbfounded. At least 8000 horses were killed, mainly from long-fire guns, artillery and bows.

"My God, why are there so many horses killed in battle?" Chai Gang said.

Chai Qiang said: "It's easy to break after a long time, let's clean it up quickly."

The logistics of the home game are still very good, and the carts were mobilized, and they were all brought back to Chaijiazhuang to make smoked horse meat.

Gaoyang City was narrow, and the army still spent the night in the camp. In the evening, Wu Song led the Five Thousand Hengdao Battalion to come.

Cangzhou City is actually empty now, but there are more than a thousand defenders and hundreds of arrests.

But Chai Lin is still very confident in the reconnaissance battalion, and there are no enemy soldiers slipping past, so Cangzhou City is safe.

In the evening, in the White Barracks, the faces of all the generals were filled with joy. Today we have won a big victory.Except for the light cavalry battalion, which suffered hundreds of casualties, the other battalions suffered very few casualties.Only a dozen or so were killed in the two heavy cavalry battalions, which is relatively small.

Chai Lin said: "Today's big victory is the result of the hard work of all the brothers. Although a lot of supplies have been seized, the biggest gain is that the soldiers have been trained. No matter how long the soldiers train, they will be recruited without going through the flames of war."

Everyone was very happy, Sun An said: "Brother, can our heavy cavalry use the long fire blunderbuss?"

"Not yet. The recoil of the long-fire gun is very strong. If you use it while running, you will easily fall off the horse. The precise range of the wheel gun is only 30 meters. It is not as good as a bow and arrow. It can only be used as a melee weapon. You can give The heavy cavalry is equipped with a small amount, which has no output, high cost, and high consumption." Chailin explained.

Lin Chong said: "Our assembling of weapons is already extremely high. The cost of the revolver is high, and the light cavalry is only partially assembled."

Lin Chong counted according to the traditional iron armor. This kind of iron armor for heavy cavalry is a family heirloom no matter in Xixia or Song Dynasty, and it is not sold by three thousand families.This burden is too heavy. "

Normally, one heavy cavalry consumes more than ten light infantry, and one heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with an auxiliary soldier and a spare horse.The consumption can be said to be huge.

However, the heavy cavalry is known as the god of the sea on the battlefield. Unless it is a well-formed infantry, it will not be able to withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry.
