Chapter 56 Decisive 1
With the Guanning army who blocked the way to get out of the way and instructed these Luoyang defeated soldiers to retreat to the front, Liu Dapan and these defeated soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief like amnesty. It's none of their business to suppress bandits. They can only do this. If they are forced to fight again, they would rather die in Here, I won't go out either!
Just now, with a little blood courage, they rushed to the front of the thief army, but the blow they suffered along the way made them not want to meet this thief army again in their lives. There is no such a way to fight in this battle. They have never seen how powerful Jiannu is, but in their opinion, this thief army I'm afraid it won't be weaker than Jiannu.
Looking at these Luoyang soldiers and horses retreating, Zu Kuan took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at the two armies. He could only see the open space between the two armies. At this time, it was almost like a slaughterhouse. There were seven and eight corpses lying everywhere, and some wounded people didn't have time to grab it down and lie on the battlefield. There was a desperate wailing. It was not until their blood dried that the wailing slowly lowered. Several soldiers with broken legs lay on the ground and slowly climbed in front of the officers and soldiers, shouting for help, leaving a bloody road behind them, which was unbearable.
Zu Kuan took a deep breath and said angrily, "If I don't believe it, there is nothing I can do with this thief army!" After passing the order, Liu Qian's whole team waited for me. I personally led the troops to rush to defeat this damn thief army before dark! Let's go to Yongning County!"
Although the generals are a little worried, after all, these Guanning soldiers have never been defeated in Henan in suppressing bandits in the past two years. They have long developed an arrogant temper. In their opinion, except for Jiannu, no one in the world is their opponent in the first battle. Although this thief army has performed quite well. But they still stubbornly believe that as long as their army is pressed up, it can never be their opponent. They are the only ones who laugh to the end of this battle.
So the generals answered loudly and began to pass the order. After hearing the order, the Guanning soldiers immediately answered the order loudly, tightened the leather rope of the horse's abdomen, checked their respective armor, turned over and jumped on the horse's back one by one, and shouted loudly.
Zu Kuan lifted the rein of the horse, slowly galloped out of the array, and then waved the whip and began to accelerate in front of the battle. Looking at the first team of generals who had already put on the armor, he finally pulled the rein and shouted at the Guanning army under his command, "The children of Guanning army have heard it! Have you ever been defeated for such a long time?
After hearing Zu Kuan's question, these Guan Ning soldiers straddling on the horse's horse's questions, even if they waved their arms together, they shouted, "Better win...Better..." The soldiers showed an arrogant look on their faces. This look can only be possessed by the victorious army that has experienced hundreds of battles, although they are building In front of the slave, there are more defeats and less wins, but looking at the Central Plains in the south, he really doesn't pay attention to any soldiers and horses.
Zu Kuan grabbed the rein of the horse and glanced at the proud soldiers under his command with satisfaction. After the sound was lowered a little, he roared again: "That's right, although the opposite thief army is also an elite soldier, it is not enough in the eyes of our group! It was just a small match, nothing! Follow me, no one is our opponent. Step over them and kill them all! Kill it!"
In the face of the arrogant Zu Kuan, his generals were encouraged again, so thousands of soldiers waved their weapons again and roared wildly again: "Kill..."
A team of officers and soldiers began to slowly start up under the leadership of Zu Kuan in the sound of the drums, and poured into the battlefield like an iron stream. Thousands of horses were also infected by this atmosphere. They hit their noses hard, stepped on their iron hooves excitedly, and began to walk slowly forward with their knights. , gradually formed a formation of rushing one by one, and pressed towards the Xing Tianjun.
Looking at the cavalry of the Guanning army that began to start, they gradually formed an iron wall. The officers and soldiers flashed a cold light under the sun. No matter who they were, when they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but look sideways. Even the Xingtian soldiers who had just won a big victory and were like a rainbow in morale. It began to be slightly nervous. With the gradual start of the officers and soldiers, a slight tremor began to appear on the ground. The sand grains on the ground gradually began to vibrate under the collective acceleration of the officers and cavalry.
Even Xiao Tianjian himself, when he saw a large number of officers and soldiers starting to act, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene of ten thousand horses galloping in front of him. He couldn't help but feel such a shock in such an era. In such an era, the advantages of cavalry are still quite obvious. Moreover, their impact and mobility on the battlefield are unparalleled at present. The Ming Dynasty gathered the strength of the whole country to create such a soldier and horse. Unfortunately, it can be said that there is no success in the north. On the contrary, it was taken by the court to deal with the domestic opposition forces and became the internal control of the Ming Dynasty. The vanguard, it was a little sighing to think about it. Feeling the tremors from the ground, even the war horses in the Xingtian Army sounded their noses one after another, and some **.
When the other generals of the Xingtian Army saw such a scene, they also put away the contemptuous mood generated by the two battles just now. They couldn't help but begin to look solemn. They all tightened their bodies and grasped the weapons in their hands. Some were timid, and even involuntarily their legs and stomachs began slightly. I jivered.
The people who watched the battle behind just now looked at the battle in front of them with a smile and shouted for Xing Tianjun loudly. However, when they saw Guan Ningjun's iron cavalry fighting collectively, they were still scared by such a scene. Their faces suddenly turned pale, and there were two fights. War, the laughter stopped abruptly, and even some people had simply begun to move back quietly. When they saw that the situation was not good, they ran away.
But even if Xiao Tianjian swayed in the center of his heart, he was more or less uncertain, but his face did not show a little. He still maintained a faint expression, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly sneered.
He was so calm that the people around him couldn't help but feel much more at ease after seeing it. Some people even thought that they had seen any battles with Xiao Tianjian. Since their generals were so calm, what should they do?
After the start of a team of Guanning iron riders, the cavalry will skillfully control the speed of their horses, gradually accelerate, follow the back of their respective officers and step into the battlefield. This time, they did not take a dense formation, but each The horses kept a certain distance, made more space for the movement of the horses, and threw themselves into the battlefield with a decisive attitude.
These cavalrymen were divided into several routes and gradually accelerated to the Xingtian Army, and gradually formed a three-way front arrow. They stabbed the two wings and the middle of the Xingtian Army from the left and right directions. Zu Kuan personally dispatched in the center and also rushed to the front of the team, but there were dozens of men in fine armor. Around him, he ran straight to the middle of Xing Tianjun.
Although the generals of the Xingtian Army have more or less returned to a state of tension after seeing the power of the Guanning Army, after all, they are not a rabble. In the face of such a large number of cavalry, the generals of each array still maintain their due calmness.
At this time, the officers had begun to order order one by one, and the firemen had also nervously completed the preparations for the launch. They puffed their cheeks and carefully blew the fire rope of the birds, staring at the oncoming officers and cavalry.
After a period of silence, the artillery team also rumbled again at this time, waving three-pound projectiles in front of the two armies. They fell heavily into the cavalry array of the officers and soldiers, and suddenly set off a regiment of sand and dust in the cavalry.
However, the effect of this bombardment is not as good as the dense infantry array in Luoyang just now. Although it has also been captured and several horses that are starting to charge at high speed, because the cavalry dispersed a certain distance, the vast majority of the shells seem to have fallen into the enemy group, but failed to hit the target. After the ground shells jumped up on the solid ground, most of them flew between countless horse legs until they lost all their kinetic energy and rolled on the ground without causing any damage. In this way, they also completely exposed the shortcomings of artillery in this era. Solid projectiles were dealing with such targets. , it's still hard to catch.
Obviously, these Guanning troops have considerable experience in dealing with such shelling. After all, where the battles they have experienced from north to south are, and they also know very well how to deal with artillery, so from the start, they open their formations with each other. In this way, they restrained the Xingtian Army artillery. Advantages.
"One hundred steps! ... eighty... sixty... fire!"
An officer of the Xingtian Army, who was responsible for observing the distance of the enemy, shouted and informed the officers' distance to the firemen in the army. When these large number of officers and cavalry rushed 60 steps in front of the Xingtian Army again, he waved the general's knife forward.
With the officer's roar, a row of firemen immediately commanded the next step forward in the first platoon, and then put down the bird gun on his shoulder. After aiming at the target, they began to fire.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see that the front of the whole Xingtian army is like an open pot, spewing out rows of gunpowder smoke. After the sound of birds, the roar is continuous, and the pop beans ring in the array.
The most front-line officers and soldiers who rushed to the Xing Tianjun array suddenly seemed to hit the wall, making a scream and horse hiss. Suddenly, a horse made a sad hiss and hit the ground.
