Chapter 571: Chariot Division(1/2)
"Central Army, stand firm!"
Chu Tian followed Cao Gui, who had the effect of making a single move, but Chu Tian did not intend to use Cao Gui's "to make a single move", but chose to defend and counterattack.
Tianshi was standing in Temujin's camp, and the Han army was in the lower wind, with sandstorm sweeping over, and it was not suitable to launch an attack.
The 150,000 Han troops contracted their defense line, and Song Chongbu formed a solid iron armored Great Wall with shields. The sand and gravel hit the heavy shields and Fiery Armor, and wore the surface of the Fiery Armor and brought out scratches.
Yellow sand is wearing golden armor in hundreds of battles!
Mu Guiying used his arms to block the gravel, and the Mongolian cavalry took advantage of the wind to launch a wave-like charge, probably trying to use the time to penetrate the Han army's formation.
However, the Han army was not easy to mess with. Five thousand Song Chongbu formed the first line of defense with the bonus of Mu Guiying.
The left wing and silver spear joints all form a defense line to serve as the Xiliang Legion to block the advancement of the Mongolian cavalry!
On the right wing, Qin Ruishi is in the front row and serves as the Great Wall of the Iron Armor of the Guanzhong Army!
Wang Jian personally sat in the middle of Qin Ruishi and stationed with his sword.
This group of Han troops who dared to go deep into the Western Regions to rescue Luntai City were not ordinary troops, and their morale was extremely astonishing and would not be easily defeated!
"The warriors on the grassland will destroy their formation!"
Temujin waved his horse whip and urged the Mongolian cavalry to launch a fierce attack!
There is no better time than this!
Huo Qing and the nobles of Cheshi Kingdom broke into cold sweats for the Han army.
The sandstorm from the west will make the Mongolian cavalry more fierce.
"Is it that Tianshi is on the side of the Mongolian Empire?"
"This must be the will of God."
The nobles of Cheshi Kingdom were afraid of Temujin and their determination was shaken again.
The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were fences and often swayed among the Han Empire and nomadic civilizations.
Huo Qing snorted coldly: "The general promised that he would definitely rescue Luntai City. I believe he would do what he said. Moreover, the Han Empire has stationed a million troops in Dunhuang. With an order, a million powerful troops will enter the Cheshi Kingdom!"
Huo Qing also saw the wavering of the nobles of Cheshi Kingdom, so he compiled lies to scare these people.
In fact, there were not many defenders in Dunhuang in the Han Empire...
The cost of a million troops expedition to the Western Regions is too high, and the Western Regions Protectorate may not be able to provide so much food and grass. The million troops will eat up all the food and grass of the Western Regions Protectorate...
So Chu Tian, Lao Qin and others decided to fight quickly.
This is not a matter of military strength, but a matter of supply.
If a million troops cannot supply food and crossbows, they can only give Temujin a head.
The nobles of Cheshi Kingdom did not know the truth and thought that Dunhuang County really had millions of troops from the Han Empire. After being frightened by Huo Qing, they immediately did not dare to act rashly.
"We must win..."
Huo Qing knew that she could not help the 150,000 Han Empire Expeditionary Force, and she would not cause trouble and provide food, grass and crossbows and arrows.
The Mongolian cavalry launched a huge wave charge, and the rain of arrows accompanied by sand and dust fell into the Han army camp where the sight was affected. The sound of sand, gravel, arrows and armor collided one after another!
"Shoot the arrow!"
Liang Hongyu ordered Jianyan crossbowmen to shoot volleys, and rows of crossbow arrows shot out, woven into an iron net, covering the Mongolian cavalry in front!
This time Temujin did not carry many servants, but instead used the main force of Mongolian cavalry in the north of the Mo to launch an offensive.
He had made up his mind to destroy the main force of the Han army in Cheshi Kingdom, once and for all!
Chu Tian, Lao Qin, and Xu Fengnian were night watchmen on the northern frontier of the Han Empire. If the three of them died here, then there would be flaws everywhere in the northern frontier of the Han Empire!
The Mongolian cavalry used the cover of sand and dust to attack from three sides, and at the same time attacked the Han Empire Expeditionary Force!
The Han army relied on the city walls, and the Cheshi King City deployed fortifications such as crossbows, catapults, arrow towers, etc. The Mongolian cavalry could not get around the back and could only choose to attack from the front.
At least, the Han army occupied the territory!
The Mongolian cavalry charged in the front row held sharp spears and stabbed the heavy infantry wearing sergeant armor, and then left with one blow.
The Mongolian cavalry in the rear then rushed over and attacked Mu Guiying's heavy-armored infantry in turn.
In addition to the spear, the Mongolian cavalry in the back row threw archery rain, pouring into the army of the invaders and soldiers!
The Mongolian cavalry charges one after another, trying to disperse the front row of the Han army.
However, this tactic could not shake Mu Guiying's army. Mu Guiying came forward in person and intercepted the Mongolian cavalry who immediately retreated after stabbing out the spear.
The pear gun stabbed forward, and the two Mongolian light cavalry had no time to retreat and were killed by Mu Guiying on the spot!
The left wing, Xu Fengnian's general, Yang Shihou's silver spear was attacked by the waves of the detective Ma Chi and suffered heavy losses.
Mu Huali led the four pioneers of the Probe Ma Chi, with the Probe Ma Chi as the main force and the Mongolian cavalry as the auxiliary, and also adopted a wave-like attack, continuously putting pressure on the Silver Gun Effects. Many infantrymen died under the Mongolian bow.
"It's not a big bunch, you lead a team of heavy cavalry and cut the corners of the formation!"
"Abide by the order!"
Kuokuobuhua, one of the five tiger generals of the Red Horse, led three thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry to attack one of the four corners of Silver Spears, like peeling potatoes, and attacked one after another, killing rows of Silver Spears, infantry soldiers.
"Where is the crossbowman?!"
Yang Shihou shrunk the Yin Gun Xiaojiedu military formation. Only by relying on fierce shooting of crossbowmen can the Mongolian cavalry continue to charge.
The range of step bow and step crossbow is generally greater than that of horse bow.
"The line of sight is affected, and the arrow is against the wind, so it is not easy to hit!"
Xiliang crossbowmen were hysterical.
People who are new to the Western Regions have no experience with the wind direction.
"Ask the lord to dispatch heavy cavalry, otherwise the silver spear will be wiped out!"
Yang Shihou shouted at the top of his voice, and the strong wind teared his battle robe.
As gun-carrying infantry, Silver Gun Feijie is both awesome and has amazing combat power. It is one of the most powerful legions in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods.
However, even the Silver Gun Effects cannot withstand the successive consumption of the Battle of Xiliang, the Battle of Yumen Pass, and the Battle of Cheshiguo.
If this continues, Yang Shihou believes that both him and his silver spear will be removed from the Han Empire.
Years of war have caused many famous generals and elite legions to be removed from the list.
Sima Dekan's Xiaoguo Army and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army no longer exist at this time.
As the commander of the Xiliang Legion, Xu Fengnian saw that Yang Shihou was in trouble, so he issued an order to Wang Yanzhang: "Send the Longxiang Army to defeat the Mongolian Iron Cavalry that attacked the horn of the formation."
"Receive the order!"
Wang Yanzhang's Longxiang Army has fought to this point, with only more than a thousand cavalry left, but he dared to take the initiative to launch a counterattack against the three thousand Mongolian cavalry that attacked the Yin Gun Xiaojiedu formation!
With the iron cavalry, Wang Yanzhang took off the iron spear.
This battle may die!
"kill!"
Wang Yanzhang led the Longxiang Army to break into the enemy formation, swung his iron spear, shattered the skull, and a war horse wearing heavy iron armor was actually shot to death by him!
The galloping war horse fell heavily, and the cavalry on the horse's back was thrown out by the war horses, and the subsequent Longxiang army trampled it into meat paste!
Wang Yanzhang knew that the situation was extremely critical for the Han army. Only by fighting hard to die can there be a glimmer of hope.
Put it to death and live!
The iron spear was regarded as a blunt weapon by Wang Yanzhang, and it swept across and hammered. The Mongolian cavalry were knocked away, fell into the galloping war horses, and trampled to death!
With one charge, Wang Yanzhang killed forty-seven cavalry out!
"Kill him!"
Kuokuobuhua was trying to cut into the Yin Gun's military formation. At this time, he saw Wang Yanzhang showing his power, so he ordered the Mongolian Iron Cavalry (Fourth Level) who was bonused by Temujin to attack Wang Yanzhang!
The targets of more than 2,000 Mongolian iron cavalry changed from silver spear to Longxiang Army, and violently attacked Wang Yanzhang and his cavalry!
Groups of Mongolian cavalry rushed over, and the spear three or four meters swayed, and the spear blade was shining with a cold light!
If you are stabbed multiple times, even a powerful general will be killed.
Wang Yanzhang was not afraid at all, and the Longxiang Army followed him and then got into battle!
"kill!"
Wang Yanzhang shouted again, and the oncoming Mongolian cavalry trembled, and then the hundred-pound iron spear had already stabbed!
The heavy and sharp iron spear penetrated the heavy armor of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry. Under Wang Yanzhang's attack, the armor was as weak as a piece of paper!
Wang Yanzhang swung hard, and the cavalry on the horse flew away and hit another Mongolian cavalry.
In the rear, the Longxiang Army attacked with neat horse spears and exchanged life with the Mongolian cavalry!
The fourth-level Mongolian Iron Cavalry belongs to ordinary troops, but with the halo bonus of Temujin and three full army, the actual combat power can be compared with the Dragon Horse Army.
However, with Wang Yanzhang's force, the Longxiang Army broke through this Mongolian iron cavalry!
