Chapter 1941 1617. Elegy(1/2)
Outside the valley.
It is not enough to deal with the Yuan army's iron cavalry that continues to emerge from the valley alone with the power of the Tiangang Army.
The Light Cavalry soldiers who rushed out first were now in chaos with the Yuan army ahead, and the losses were very heavy.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the soldiers of the special forces to change the situation by relying on their own efforts.
The cavalry of the Yuan army rushed to the Tiangang Army's infantry formation, and formed several strands, advancing towards the Tiangang Army's infantry formation.
The whole scene was messy.
The sound of gunfire kept ringing.
Yellow dust rolled, filling the entire battlefield.
There was no choice but to lead Tianman, Tianli and Tianping Army to fight.
After rushing over, their Light Cavalry soldiers rushed into the Yuan army's iron cavalry and fought with the Yuan army's iron cavalry.
This finally stabilizes the situation temporarily.
Tang Fu's army left 20,000 troops in the valley, and at this time there were only more than 60,000 cavalry under his command.
Such troops are not as many as Su Quandang's army at this time.
With Tianman, Tianli, and Tianping, all three armies joined the battlefield. Although they used infantry to deal with the cavalry, they still blocked the charge of the Yuan army's iron cavalry.
In terms of strength, the four imperial guards' corps are definitely more than 60,000 cavalry of Tang Fu's army.
However, it is obvious that the battle cannot be decided in a short period of time. The Tang Fu Division's goal of restraining the army of Jiankang Military Region was still achieved.
Before, Su Quandang had no intention of withdrawing his troops. Now that the two armies have completely strangled, it is even more impossible to withdraw their troops.
Because even with the elite of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, retreating under such circumstances would inevitably lead to heavy losses.
The flags of the army move.
The light reflected by the shields passes by the rolling yellow dust, and wherever they go, people often turn over and over.
At this moment, Master Tang Fu was inevitably frightened by the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty imperial guards on the hillside, and his face also showed a little anxiety.
He was really worried that if Zhan Butai was slow to lead his army, would the iron cavalry he led would be killed by the Song army.
This cavalry, which they were originally proud of, seemed so unbearable to fight in front of the Song army.
Mr. Tang Fu even used the most commonly used "dog fighting" tactics in the past, but the results were very little.
The dog fighting tactic is a tactic that the cavalry of the Yuan army used to attack Europe and repeatedly received miraculous effects when fighting against European troops.
To put it bluntly, the troops in front pretend to retreat, and then the troops on both wings took advantage of the situation to surround the pursuing enemy troops and concentrate on annihilation.
And here, there were indeed light cavalry soldiers from the Song Dynasty who were trapped and chased them up and rushed to the depths of the Yuan army's iron cavalry.
But when the Yuan army wanted to chew them, they found that they had chewed them to the iron plate.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty could stand firm anywhere. Even if they were surrounded, there was no sign of collapse and they were still closely reunited to fight the enemy.
The Yuan army's "dog fighting" tactics made their situation a bit worse.
At this time, Master Tang Fu also heard a lot of gunfire suddenly in the Shenxian Ridge Valley.
This naturally made him excited again.
He believed that as long as Taiwan led the army to arrive, the Song army would be able to destroy it.
And by then, even if all the cavalry he led was killed, it would not matter.
Because the victory of this battle belongs to them.
Such victory was never achieved by the Yuan army since Zhao Dongting came to power.
The sound of killing seemed to become more and more intense.
As more and more soldiers from both sides entered the ranks of fighting, the battlefield became increasingly chaotic.
In the entire wilderness, the soldiers on both sides were fighting and moving.
It is still impossible to see who has the advantage or who has the disadvantage for a while.
However, as the garrison troops in Shaoxing, Lin'an and Luzhou gradually approached the battlefield, the situation was a little different.
In terms of military strength, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had surpassed the Yuan army.
A hot air balloon spreads into the Shenxian Ridge.
Su Quandang did not stay in the military camp at this time, and followed the Lin'an garrison army and rushed towards the battlefield.
He suppressed all his troops in this battle. As a marshal, he had no need to stay in the barracks to command the overall situation.
Perhaps his big crow appears here, which is the best tactic.
Because his big crow is undoubtedly the most motivating.
But at this time, the situation between Tianying and Tianfu armies of Gu Nei was extremely bad.
No matter how powerful an army is, it has its own critical point.
The original more than 20,000 Yuan army, plus the more than 80,000 people led by Taiwan at this time, is undoubtedly beyond the limit of Tianying and Tianfu armies.
For less than 20,000 people want to resist so many troops, unless the two sides still use firearms as before, while the other side still uses cold weapons.
And that era has completely passed.
As more and more infantrymen spread to the hillside and then rushed down the official road, the two armies of Tianying and Tianfu were finally firmly surrounded.
In every direction around the soldiers of the two armies, there were dense Yuan troops.
Bullets and shells were fired from each direction.
Countless soldiers died under artillery fire.
Even Jin Hao and He Fangsong were already in a very embarrassing position at this time.
Jin Hao was injured in his left arm.
Several holes were pierced by bullets on both large claws.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers gathering around them.
The soldiers who were originally scattered around wanted to move closer to them, but were often covered by the Yuan army on their way forward.
The shouts of killing have become tragic.
At this moment, even ordinary soldiers understood that it would be difficult for them to return to the Song Dynasty this time.
The Yuan army that kept emerging around could only seem to be killed but could not be killed.
At some point, the scenery in front of me had turned red as blood.
Tan Puyu and others led the soldiers of the hot air balloon group to provide artillery fire assistance to the soldiers below in the air.
Now, the shells have been used almost all the time.
Moreover, some Yuan army had already begun to set up sky-storm cannons and were shooting at them.
Balls of hot air balloons exploded in the air.
Tan Puyu held the edge of the hanging basket with one hand, stood in the hot air balloon, looked at the scenes below, and slowly closed his eyes.
All the thunderstorms in the hanging basket have been thrown down.
"Go down!"
When he opened his eyes again, Tan Puyu ordered to the soldiers in the hanging basket.
In fact, these hot air balloon soldiers still have the chance to leave the battlefield in the air. Before, they could leave as soon as they wanted, but no one planned to abandon their robes.
We spent those unforgettable years in the army together, even if we died, we wanted to die together.
The soldiers in the hanging basket said nothing, but just turned the flames down and let the hot air balloon slowly fall down.
However, before the hot air balloon landed, a shell shot straight into the hanging basket.
A rumbling sound.
The hanging basket exploded.
Tan Puyu and the soldiers in the hanging basket were all swallowed by the fire and then fell down.
At the moment of death, Tan Puyu's eyes were still concentrated below.
Around them, there were other hot air balloons falling towards the descent, and were also hit by shells.
This is a battle of death and life.
At this moment, He Fangsong and others knew very well that they could no longer hold on until Su Quandang led the army.
They are still fighting here, just trying to buy more time for the army.
On the distant hillside, Zhanbutai and others watched the scene with only a cold look on their faces.
It is really hard to bear to fight between the two armies.
Tianying and Tianfu's bravery made them admire their brilliance, but this does not mean that they will be willing to leave a way out for the two armies.
To be continued...
