Chapter 782 It is easy to shake the mountain, difficult to shake the army of the Gao family IX
When the Iron Harrier Armor Cavalry first collided into the Song army's formation, Gao Yongnian and Cha Ge, the commanders of the two armies on the battlefield, both held their breath at the same time.
This is a line of life and death!
The impact of Iron Harrier is a one-time deal. If you fail, you will win a great victory. If you fail, you will start the most brutal hand-to-hand combat. If you want to fight hand-to-hand combat, you will not be sure of winning.
"Crash in!"
Cha Ge, who stood in the stirrup and stretched his neck to watch the battle, shouted loudly. At this moment, he had the urge to drive his horse forward to join the battle group.
Now that the "Khitan father" has ended in person, it is the time when the Dangxiang Warriors are at their highest morale and the Song army is most frightened. If the Song army cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop, then what hope does Dabai Gaoguo have?
"My boys, hold on!"
Gao Yongnian also shouted, because he had already seen Dangxiang Tiejiazi's war horse crash into the Song army that was in the formation.
The war horses neighed and rushed a person's body away. The shouts and screams were connected. There were signs of collapse in the center of the Song army's battle formation!
But... it hasn't collapsed after all!
Gao Yongnian gritted his teeth and rushed out, shouting loudly while rushing: "We are all dead! We can only seek to live in death. Those who have received the emperor's grace will follow me. Today I will fight against Liao Gou and Dangxiang Gou!"
The men in the northwest have always been able to withstand hard fighting. Even though they faced the Dangxiang Iron Harrier and the Khitan armored cavalry at the same time, most of the Song army on the battlefield still gritted their teeth and persevered. Seeing Gao Yongnian galloping with effect, the Song army's arrow formation, which had been broken through by Iron Harrier, gritted their teeth and held on!
The traditional arrow formation of the Song army is different from the horizontal formation of the new mansion soldiers. The arrow formation is roughly square, very thick, and has many layers, and can usually be lined up in more than a dozen rows. Although not a spear, it is not easy for the cavalry to defeat them in one fell swoop. If it were a fake sub-legion of Jurchen Gundam or Wu Haogu, the armored cavalry formed a team and launched a wall-type charge in turn, and a few or dozen waves, it would definitely be able to break away.
But Iron Harriers were not fighting like this, they rushed up in chaos. In this kind of impact that was not divided into layers and chaotic formations, the one that could really form impact was actually the Iron Harriers in the front. No matter how powerful they were, they could destroy a few layers of the Song army's array? That was the heavy infantry that formed an array!
After a burst of impact, the Iron Harriers did not retreat and attacked again, but began to fight hand in hand!
However, the melee fighting ability of these Iron Harrier cavalry, which was reincarnated by the Western Xia, is actually very ordinary Iron Harrier. They are not reincarnated! The imperial guards and archers in the Western Army's archery formation are not inferior to Iron Harrier in personal courage. They rely on killing for wealth and wealth. Even crossbow soldiers holding bows and crossbow machines can fight with Iron Harrier if they draw out their straight swords. Moreover, Gao Yongnian also brought two or three hundred functional armored soldiers to drive the horses into the battle.
These effects were all the dead soldiers raised by Gao Yongnian, who had led troops for many years, and they used them desperately at critical moments! They were divided into several teams and drilled into the gaps between several arrow formations, and launched a counterattack against the rushing iron kite.
All kinds of long-lasting weapons were rolling, and in a flash, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The iron kite, which had been blocked by the Song army's infantry with flesh and blood, suddenly lost its final impact. The soldiers on both sides started a life-consuming fight.
In the rest of the Song army's front, the garrisons in Xixia were responsible for attacking. Their combat power was a little worse than the Iron Harrier, and they did not have Qing Tang armor and equipment, so during the impact, they were killed by the Song army's arrow rain, and the impact power was even weaker. If it weren't for the high morale of the "Khitan Dad" soldiers who had increased their morale, they would have been repelled long ago. Although they have not retreated now, they cannot break the Song army's battle formation and are also trapped in a bitter battle.
At this time, Xiao Heda also rushed into the battlefield where the battle was so dark that it was so fierce that Gao Yongnian was clamoring for fighting.
Unlike the Dangxiang people on the battlefield, he knew very well how powerful the 6,000 armored cavalry under Yelu Otla was.
These 6,000 pieces of equipment were drawn from various palace guards. Most of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and they usually ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name more than when riding horses and shooting arrows. As for armored cavalry and other things, it seems that they are never the specialty of the Khitans.
Therefore, the main function of these 6,000 cavalry of the Great Liao Dynasty is to scare the Song people. As for the other 24,000 cavalry, it is even less useful. Among them, 4,000 are the light cavalry who serve as scout Yuanluozi, and 20,000 are the so-called Caogu soldiers and the guard camp soldiers, that is, the auxiliary soldiers.
The best function of these 30,000 Liao soldiers is to shock the hearts of the Song army and boost the morale of the Dangxiang people. If you really want them to go to the battlefield, let’s forget it. If you are defeated by the Western Army of Song, you will lose all your money...
Therefore, today's fight still depends on the Dangxiang people themselves!
Of course, Yelu Otla knew what kind of virtue the master soldiers he brought with him were. He was not Yelu Yanxi, Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Sixian, who had reached the peak of his life without seeing a mountain of corpses and blood. He was the last general who had been fighting with Mogus on the Zhubu Grassland for many years, and had long known how the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty was so unbearable. Today, in the Great Liao Dynasty, only the 20,000 tribe soldiers of the Zhenzhou Jian'an Army stationed in the grassland were really able to fight, and the rest of the troops could only pretend!
So after leading the Liao soldiers into the northeast corner of the battlefield, Yelu Orat began to procrastinate, slowly deploying troops and advancing forward like a turtle speed. Although the horn was almost broken, the snare drums were beaten and the various military flags were even more cheerful. However, the armored cavalry that rushed to the battlefield was not ready for a long time... At the most intense time of the battle on the battlefield, the first Khitan general, Yelu Orat, who swept across the Bu grassland, waved his hand and ordered: "Calculate the horsepower!"
Yes, it’s just to accumulate horsepower. The horses are tired, so they have to let them rest for a while before they can impact.
What? Change horses? Hearing a subordinate suggesting a horse to rush forward, the old man snorted and rolled his eyes: Didn’t you see that there were already five or six thousand Song troops in front of him? They were elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had fought with the Dangxiang people for decades! Can you rush forward with those of you who are not good at fighting?
The old man withdrew his gaze, stood up in the stirrups, and began to squint his eyes and look at the battlefield ahead.
The sound of shouting, horse hooves, and golden drums rushed in! This formation was much more powerful than when the decisive battle with the Bukelie tribe on the grassland.
Although the warriors of the Krei tribe were fierce, their weapons were too poor. Not to mention armor, even the arrows of bows and arrows were mostly made of animal bones, so they didn't dare to fight the Khitan army. And if they really made a fight, they were not opponents of the well-equipped and fierce Zhenzhou Jian'an army.
However, the Song army in front of him was covered with iron armor, and its fierceness was not inferior to the slightest stopping the people. Even if they saw the Khitan's 30,000 troops and were attacked by the 40,000 Dangxiang Army, they would not retreat and fight to the death.
And such elite troops can only be considered second-rate among the Song army! If their most powerful Sanzhi Army came here, I am afraid that the Khitan and Dangxiang's 70,000 coalition forces would have been defeated?
When Yelu Orat was slowing down, Zhong Shiji's heart was in his throat. He was now mentally prepared to sacrifice his life for the country.
I'm sure I'm dying here today!
After all, there are powerful Khitan cavalry on the opposite side! And so many... It seems that this time I will really die in the battlefield!
Although I was so scared that I was dying, the old man was not afraid at all and shouted: "The Khitan dog thief is just like this. When he sees our arrow formation, he dare not move!
The brothers all yelled at me: Da Song... Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
"Wansheng..."
The cheers of the Song army rolled across the battlefield and reached Cha Ge who was watching the battle. He was almost dead and had already taken his personal soldiers to the front line. He directly inserted the royal flag behind the Iron Harriers, and Shang Fang Ling's hammer was also held in his hand. If anyone dared to retreat, he would hammer first and then play it.
His personal soldiers also pulled a long and sparse line in front of them with swords and axes. More than a dozen long spears were inserted into the ground, and each spear had a bloody head that had just been cut off! They were all the iron kites retreating without authorization and the heads of the garrison soldiers!
At this time, the garrison of King Chuancheng of Qin, Zhuo Luo and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, Cao Mian had already assembled the elite of 2,000 foreign soldiers from the tribe, and escorted 2,000 strong men picked out from the Quhan Army and formed four thousand-person staging formations.
After finishing the formation, the Han general of Xixia who had been guarding Qin Wangchuan City for several months drove his horse to Cha Ge and asked loudly for battle: "Master, let General Mo take his men to the battle!"
Brother Cha nodded vigorously: "Cao Tongjun, you can quickly take Erlang to the west of Song Camp to attack hard! You must create more momentum!"
"Here!"
When Cao Mian ordered the order to leave, Gao Yongnian was already found by Xiao Heda. However, the two did not fight one-on-one, and Gao Yongnian was not a brainless reckless man. It was enough for him to come to the front line. It would be irresponsible to go up to fight one-on-one with the barbarian. Moreover, he is an old man in his fifties, so he can't fight with Xiao Heda in his twentysomething, right?
However, his performance of fighting on the battlefield still made Xiao Heda know that he was a big shot. A divine arm crossbow picked up from somewhere had already been put on the arrow, held it in Xiao Heda's hand, and aimed at Gao Yongnian who had been dozens of steps away.
Xiao Heda pulled the mechanical bracket on the crossbow machine, and then there was a sound of metal and bowstrings.
