Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 72: Tabo is killed
But Tapo quickly adjusted his attack route - giving up the flank attack on the Tiger Wing Army, and all the cavalry went straight to the disintegrated right-wing front of the Song Dynasty. After defeating this place, they could seize part of the enemy's fortress.
In this way, if the whole body is mobilized, the Song Army's camp may completely collapse.
Watching groups of Seljuk cavalry howling, under the brave command of Tapo, they rushed towards the retreating right-wing front of the Imperial Song Army. On the high tower where stone bullets continued to fall, the inner palace guards asked the emperor, "Are the allies' troops advancing too far?"
Gawain raised his arm, calmly and calmly raised a miniaturized short tube lens and looked at it for a moment, put the tube lens down, and then said calmly, "Let the Seljuk cavalry in the rear of Kobuha, Go to respond; in addition, send a signal to the imperial guards on the second line in the center, asking them to rotate to the left and prepare to respond to Tapo's team. "
Then Gao Wen used a tube lens to carefully observe the battle lines of the Song Army's forts, and seemed to see cavalry in gold and silver armors shuttled behind the side signs and barrier cars.
"Are the Song's cavalry and Congma Zhi?" A smile appeared on the emperor's lips. In fact, he already knew something about the military system of the Song Dynasty from Guo Yaoshi's previous confession. However, due to the covert work of King Ping Ping ( Even if it is against vassals), there are at least two things that Gao Wen did not expect. One is that the Emperor Song also has rapid-fire light artillery, although it is not the same as the technology tree of the Roman Empire; the other is the fortress tactics of the Emperor Song. It's done very well, you can advance, you can attack, you can retreat, you can defend.
"Ask Walter to bring out 5,000 reserve border guards, and form a vertical assault formation with the chariots, starting from the left wing of our army. I want to thicken the blade of the left wing. In addition to the Seljuk cavalry, we will also add border guards to penetrate the imperial army. Song’s line of defense!”
Then Gawain rotated the telescope to his right wing, and saw that two large brigades of his own side, plus Paulist soldiers, were fighting inextricably with the 5,000 enemy Jingxi troops. In the gap between the shootings, there were already A small group of heavily armored soldiers from the Tiger Wing Left Army began to attack Paul bravely. Coming from the Paulist line, this group of soldiers carried light horses and heavy armor. They held mace cannons and fired randomly at first, and then swung them like hammers and charged and struck hard. For a time, many Paulist soldiers He retreated to his own camp and did not dare to fight against him again.
At this time, Tapo and thousands of Seljuk cavalry had already rushed to the front of the right-wing fort of the Song Dynasty. Tapo could already see the flags waving on the opponent's fort. In front of his galloping horses and scimitars, there were several rows of forks beside them. On the ground, the large Nestorian cross flag carriage with the lotus pattern behind it is very conspicuous, surrounded by a group of inconspicuous Nestorian infantry.
"Chop them to pieces!"
"Clog the air and shatter the mountains. This is the Sword of Allah!"
The hoofs of the Seljuk cavalry raised up huge haze, and like a strong wind, they arrived at an area more than a hundred feet away from the side sign. As long as they were given three to five seconds, they could kill all the Nestorians and kidnap them. Their crosses were taken as trophies.
At this time, countless sharp bamboo spear blades suddenly popped up on the grass in front of the horses' hooves. Countless blood splashes flew out from the chests and bellies of the Seljuk cavalry's horses. Immediately, the horses and men screamed in agony and rolled on the ground!
This is the "trap and ambush spear method" used by the Song Army to kill enemy cavalry. Rows of caves were dug in the ground, "fire-forged bamboo spears" were buried in the caves, and the blades of the spears were held in place with extremely elastic bamboo rings. In the cave, the head rope was tied and covered with grass and mustard to hide it - once the Seljuk cavalry's horse hooves touched and kicked over the head rope, the fire-forged bamboo spear flew up and shot out, just enough to pierce the war horse. The softest parts with the least protection.
The cavalry in the front row were killed by the ambush and fell to the ground in groups. The cavalry in the rear row could not restrain their mounts, and they collided and trampled each other front and back. Tapo's army was in chaos.
At this moment, the side cards of the Song Army's right wing rotated: Tong Guan's three commanding infantrymen who had been hidden behind them were holding fire guns, yellow birch bows, and divine arm bows and half-kneeling behind them, facing the chaotic Seljuk cavalry crazily. Shoot.
Another elite infantryman under command, armed with rows of sharp swords, rushed out of the "key pass" between the fortresses with a loud noise. When they encountered the Seljuk cavalry, they cut off the riders from above and the legs of the horses from below. They were unstoppable.
The barbarian cavalry that originally retreated, together with the Song Wu cavalry cavalry that also rushed over, came back again. The horses' heads rushed in in columns, and one after another they shot Tapo's cavalry under their horses.
In an instant, more than a thousand of Tapo's men were killed and injured, and the corpses of men and horses piled up one after another. Tapo himself was lying low on the chaotic battlefield. At this time, the sky became darker and the snow and fog filled the air. Soldiers from both sides often relied on the flashes of fire cannons to fight. Identify the direction.
Tapo panicked and didn't choose a way. He saw the dark shadows of men and horses fighting around him, so he just knew to run towards his own position.
The sound of horse hooves thundered. Tapo raised his eyes and saw many horses' mouths spraying white breath in the mist. Countless cavalry came holding the shadowy dog-tooth flag. Someone in the formation shouted, "Dear Shah among Shahs." "His Royal Highness Tapo, where is he?"
"It's the second group of cavalry from Kobuha who came to meet us. I am Tapo!" Tapo stood up and shouted excitedly to the group of cavalry.
As a result, a row of arrows flew like meteors, and several of them hit the Sudanese uncle who was asking for help. Tapo raised his forehead where the arrow was hit, turned over and fell off his horse, lying in the grass with a dead expression on his face.
Countless horse hooves passed by him, and the last few Iqta knights jumped off their horses, carried Tapo's body onto a stretcher, lifted it up and walked back, shouting "Descendants of Malik Shah Khan, the great and brave Tapo ascended to the eternal land of Allah during the battle. He was shot in the front while charging to kill the enemy, and he was worthy of the title of Ghazi. "
Although Tabo "died in a heroic battle", after Kobha's second cavalry took over, they tied with Song's Wuqi Army again.
A correct version can be found in 16-9 Book Forum!
At this moment, in the fog, the border army, accompanied by the chariots of the Keqi, came to kill.
Over there, the Imperial Song Dynasty also dispatched wheeled chariots, but unlike the Roman Empire, the Song army launched "single-shaft meteor charge artillery carts" and "fortress carts".
The single-axle meteor charge artillery cart has only one axle, and is very light. There is a pair of yokes on the front curved balance, which can be pulled by mules and horses, and can also be hung with bullet-proof and arrow-proof wooden signs. The back is a two-wheeled carriage, on which a copper cannon that can fire shotguns is mounted. When the battle is about to begin, two soldiers can push this car as fast as flying, and the other two gunners are responsible for continuously firing the cannon, and there is a fortress cart loaded with ammunition behind it - the fortress cart is a horizontal vehicle with felt curtains and leather shields hanging on three sides. Four people push it, one person stands on the car with a long gun to fire, and more than 20 people fight on the left and right sides with spears, axe guns, and crossbows. There are also iron chains under the car that drag on the ground and make a sound, which can connect the vehicles for defense.
The fortress cart instantly formed a constantly moving fortification, and the single-axle meteor charge artillery cart sandwiched between them continued to fire rounds of artillery fire, which was invincible!
