Chapter 893: Assault, Showdown(2/2)
, the casualties were too great. Zhu Biao simply couldn’t bear it!
The cavalry he wants to have are not only powerful in cavalry combat, but also very good in infantry combat.
Therefore, this seemingly powerful trick was not developed by the Hedong Army. Now, it has been developed by the Cizhou Army and the Wenzhou Army.
In front of the battle, the deafening sound of killing continued, and row after row of people fell down. Unknowingly, within a hundred steps to Zhao Zhen's left and right, corpses were piled up. There were allied soldiers lying on the ground struggling and screaming, and there were still flesh and blood.
A blur of wounded horses neighing and running wildly.
The sky suddenly disappeared before his eyes. It turned out that he had broken through the enemy formation, and black clouds were rolling in. The sun hung in the sky, mostly obscured by the dark clouds. The blood was rushing, and there were shouts of killing, and the strong smell of blood was smelt. Zhao Zhen's face was filled with emotion.
Smiling, raising the spear high.
"Continue the attack——"
Amidst the high-pitched shouts, a deep horn sound came from the enemy camp, and then the passionate war drums sounded again.
Densely packed coalition infantry stepped forward.
In the confrontation just now, the coalition forces were obviously at a disadvantage in terms of cavalry, but neither side had any intention of stopping. The coalition forces also did not want to use their few remaining cavalry to collide with the Cizhou Army's weird cavalry array, so they could only mobilize and catch up.
The arriving infantry join the battle.
But in the same way, Zhao Fang did not want to use the best among the best in the whole state, so he took out the three thousand elites to meet the queue in a serious formation. After calling the cavalry to turn back, Zhao Fang took a deep breath and ordered: "Nan Le
The battalion is out of line."
"No." The flag of the flag soldier waved, and immediately a battalion of armored infantry emerged from the array and entered the battlefield.
The war is not about rushing forward head-on. There must be a reserve team in the hands of the coach, who can continuously invest fresh troops into the battlefield, adjust the situation of the battle in an attempt to tilt it towards one's own side, and gradually spread it out.
The battlefield is so huge that you can't see the edge at a glance. Only by standing on a slightly higher platform can you grasp the battle situation.
This is also the importance of high ground in classical warfare and the necessity of the commonly known name of Point General Tower.
The coaches of both teams were very good at commanding, and gradually put most of their efforts into the battle for victory.
First, there were strong crossbows and hard bows in front. After a burst of shooting and wounding, the archers of the two armies ran out of strength and retreated. The Pu swordsmen and spearmen rushed forward to engage in the battle. The entire battle line fell into bloody melee, and the two armies could not start fighting at this distance.
To two quarters of an hour.
Crossbowmen are not musketeers!
On the battlefield, the Cizhou elite cavalry and the two thousand Cizhou ordinary cavalry continued to clash under the leadership of Zhao Zhen. The infantry defense line leaked out from the coalition forces repeatedly, and there was almost no one to stop them. The coalition soldiers on the front line continued to clash.
, especially among the peripheral soldiers in the diagonal area, panic continued to spread.
"This general is Zhao Zhen? Zhao Fang's nephew?"
Under the commander's banner opposite, the coalition commander pointed at Zhao Zhen, who was wearing silver armor and a white horse, and his heart tightened with annoyance.
You are so capable, how come you surrendered without fighting when the Han army encountered you? Now you are really getting better.
"That's Zhao Zhen. Isn't there a traitor Zhao Fang's banner on the opposite side?" A general responded from the side and swallowed his saliva.
The front line, which is nearly three miles wide, is criss-crossed. The Cizhou Army's armor-wearing rate was beyond expectations. Along with the crossbowmen, all 70,000 of them were wearing armor. Although some of them were equipped with so-called 'paper armor'
, but the upper echelons of the coalition forces knew that these seemingly ridiculous paper armors actually had good defensive capabilities.
Yes, Zhu Biao has been fighting in Cizhou for half a year. While training the Cizhou army with his left hand, the other side is to enhance the armament of the Cizhou army. Unfortunately, Cizhou is not rich in refined iron, and Zhu Biao is not willing to go all out to arm the Cizhou army.
, after cleaning up the original battle armor of the Cizhou Army, and cooperating with the capture of the Liangwang bandits, 70% of the 80,000 Cizhou Army were equipped with iron helmets and iron armor. For the rest, Zhu Biao thought of paper armor.
.
At worst, soak the paper armor with water before going into battle. It's better than leather armor!
Therefore, many soldiers looked like they had been stabbed, but were not injured, or were only slightly injured, and could still continue to fight.
"Damn it..." the leader of the coalition army cursed secretly. He obviously had half more troops than his opponent, but he couldn't form a superior strategy at all. How could the Cizhou Army become so capable of fighting all of a sudden?
Not to mention that the cavalry is strong, but the infantry is also very good. Those groups of soldiers obviously form a small battle formation. A group of twelve people can fight and resist, the damage is amazing, and they are also durable. The leader will be
The headache is endless.
Compared with our own army, the only thing Cizhou Army still lacks is bows and crossbows.
Bows and crossbows are both unusually powerful and uniquely high-cost. More importantly, Zhu Biaotian is so capable that he can quickly achieve this.
Because the compound crossbow, according to the standard configuration, requires at least dozens of processes to make the six materials of the bow, and it will take a certain amount of time to complete, at least more than a year, and a good bow will take several years. Therefore, Ci
The state army's bows and crossbows were obviously weaker than those of the coalition army.
It is also based on this that the coalition commander has the confidence to continue fighting!
Although the Cizhou Army was really tough, "What a resilience!" the general said with emotion in his heart.
During these moments of the war, Zhao Zhen's assault and the performance of the Cizhou Cavalry Army were very eye-catching. But in the eyes of the general, the Cizhou Army was more proud of its outstanding low-level officers.
No matter whether we win or lose this battle, "My son will lose!"
The Cizhou Army was defeated, and the coalition forces would also suffer heavy casualties. His own son had his muscles moved, but Zhu Biao was unscathed. He could build another Cizhou Army with a stroke of his pen! Because Zhu Biao's foundation will always be those 100,000 Han men.
Chapter completed!
