Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 7 Hunting (1)
Just when Wufeng had high hopes for the war on the western front, the defense of the Northwest also officially kicked off. After the tentative attack was launched, it was followed by a frontal attack by Luo Bei's iron cavalry like a gun. After tentatively understanding the semi-curved defense system of Xijiang several times in a row, Tu Da soon discovered that the Xijiang Army placed their most powerful Gaoyue infantry division in the middle, which is the most A safe approach can support the two wings and protect the central army from being easily overwhelmed. However, it is difficult for only one Gaoyue infantry division to support the entire front, especially under the rapid and swift impact of its own cavalry. The northern and southern battalions that raided Linmen had no time to react quickly.
Kang Jianguo, who was in charge of the defense of the Tuqi camp, really felt the fierceness and bravery of the Luobei cavalry at this time, and Ling Tianfang, who entrusted all the defense to Kang Jianguo, also saw the transformation of Tu Da. The power of Robbie's heavy cavalry.
The Luobei heavy cavalry in the past was actually not a heavy cavalry at all. They wore rough mail armor, a low-quality iron helmet, and a long spear slightly longer than the imperial light cavalry. In the eyes of the empire and the military of the Liberian countries, those Luobei iron cavalry cannot be called armored cavalry or heavy cavalry at all, they can be regarded as mail cavalry at best , this appellation is obviously a kind of ridicule and ridicule or an insult to Luobei cavalry.
But the current Luobei iron armored cavalry is obviously different from the usual, although the tightness and quality of the iron leaf armor seem to be somewhat different from the imperial heavy cavalry, compared with the heavy armored cavalry of the Liberian countries The gap is even bigger, but after all, there is finally a decent iron leaf armor, which is already an essential improvement compared to the simple and shabby mail armor in the past, and the iron helmet also imitated those of the Liberian countries. The heavy cavalry has added animal mask to cover the face, which can not only protect the cavalry's face from being injured by arrows, but also enhance the psychological power of the cavalry itself. The biggest improvement is the appearance of horse armor. Although it is only a few pieces of leather armor that can barely be called horse armor, the improvement of the horse's protection ability cannot be underestimated. This kind of leather armor is equipped on the chest of the horse, The horse's belly and other important and vulnerable positions of the horse can play a very important protective role, especially the defense against the flow arrow is quite effective.
And the weapons have also been improved after imitating the heavy cavalry of the Liberian countries. At a glance, the spearheads made of all iron can be seen to be mostly from Indian, and the rich iron ore produced in the Hyderabad area in northern Indian There are rich mineral resources, but the Indians' poor technology in ironmaking has affected the quality of their wrought iron. However, under the restrictions of the surrounding areas, especially the export of refined iron in Western Xinjiang, the Luobei people have no way to do so. Choose, at least this kind of long iron spearhead is not as powerful as the original Luobei iron cavalry with a long wooden stick connected to an ordinary rotten spearhead. Of course, there are also a small number of iron spears that are different from the wrought iron produced in Indiana just by looking at the color and brightness. The black oil is bright and dull in color. Fang decided that this was the special spear for heavy cavalry imported from the Hansen League by the Luobei people through smuggling.
Although Ling Tianfang had already learned about Tu Da's plan to transform Luobei's heavy cavalry through the Military Intelligence Bureau, he was still surprised to see the improvement in the strength of Luobei's heavy cavalry. As a strategic planner, Ling Tianfang has never considered the use of tactics and on-the-spot command as his specialty. It is more suitable for these specific tasks to be handed over to those experienced generals. He only needs to determine the overall situation. It was enough, so Kang Jianguo took it for granted that he became the commander-in-chief of the front line, and he retreated behind the scenes to observe the changes of the Luobei cavalry as an observer.
Standing at the outpost of the South Camp, wearing heavy armor as an exception, watching the scene of the Luobei cavalry attacking, Ling Tianfang wanted to observe the changes in the combat effectiveness of the Luobei cavalry in the past few years with his own eyes. The formation of the Luobei light cavalry is still as flexible as before. The superb riding skills of the riders are the basis for them to dare to change their formation in front of their own army. These nomadic riders do have natural talents. It is also difficult to catch up, which is the ability given to them by their long-term nomadic living habits.
It was still the light cavalry of the Luobei people who attacked in the early stage. Facing the Xijiang army who set up camp, if the Luobei people wanted to break through the camp, the first thing they needed to solve was the trench with a width of three meters and the trench behind the trench. Luzhai and Juma Zhuang, and then we can talk about these two barriers behind the wall. The Luobei cavalry, which swept towards the patches of dark clouds, immediately stirred up waves of **** waves in front of the camp. The second division of the Terok Legion, which had been waiting for a long time, took on the heavy responsibility of defense this time. Ballistas and catapults The continuous rolling launch immediately made the rushing Luobei cavalry taste the taste of injury, coupled with the longbowmen lined up to welcome, each wave of baptism is like a scythe for harvesting wheat, and the fallen pieces are like stubble Like Robin cavalry. The dark red blood quickly solidified in the sun, and the **** battlefield almost made people vomit. When Ling Tianfang saw with his own eyes a Luobei cavalryman's head was pierced by two crossbow arrows, his white brain was mixed with scarlet blood. He couldn't help but twitched when the blood plasma collapsed thirty meters in front of him, spilling red and white flower shadows as coquettish as a goddess scattered flowers.
The efforts of the Luobei people were not without rewards. The first batch of light cavalry raids were just to attract the attention of the western border defenders, while the second and third batches held round leather shields to protect their horses and carried earthbags in an attempt to throw them into the trenches. Filling up the trenches was their real purpose. The soil bags that fell like raindrops quickly filled up several tens of meters long trenches, which was equivalent to opening the first gate for attacking the camp.
Ling Tianfang observed carefully. The appearance of round leather shields by the Luobei light cavalry was another highlight. This kind of leather shield originated from the Western Continent is light and flexible, although it cannot resist powerful punctures such as spears and crossbows. Weapons, but it has a very good effect on preventing ordinary arrow attacks, which is much more convenient than the generally used infantry shields.
The Luobei light cavalry who opened and closed quickly rolled up bursts of smoke and dust outside the southern camp. While people shouted and horses neighed, the Luobei light cavalry continued to launch offensives, and repeated successive waves of attacks brought considerable damage to themselves. At the same time, the damage caused certain losses to the defending western frontier army. The Luobei people's riding and shooting skills are outstanding. Even if the main purpose is to fill up the trenches, they still use the riding and shooting ability to give the defending soldiers inside the wall It caused a lot of damage, and Ling Tianfang saw with his own eyes two soldiers and many archers around him fall in the rain of Luobei people's arrows. The cruelty of war is unavoidable for any side.
This is only the first day, and the war is so fierce. The Luobei people seem to realize the importance of time to them. The Mote and Tubu cavalry organized by Zhou Tinggui on the East Tengger Grassland obviously played a role , the Luobei people who had been silent for so long finally broke out. It seems that their purpose is to avoid the middle road, break through their own defense line from both wings, and finally form a joint attack. The power of Gao Yue's heavy infantry left them a lot Deep impression, it seems that they do not want to repeat the same mistakes.
Just as Ling Tianfang predicted, the Fourth Division of the Terok Corps, which was responsible for the defense of the Northern Camp, was also under tremendous pressure. However, although this infantry division composed mostly of Gao Yue soldiers is not a purely medium-armored infantry division, but because a large number of Gao Yue soldiers joined, the division commander Ze Berlin retained a heavy infantry regiment in addition to the mixed division. In addition, he deliberately applied to the Military Affairs Administration to change a light armored infantry regiment into a heavy infantry regiment, and an archer regiment was replaced with a spearhead regiment with Gao Yue's characteristics. It has gone far beyond ordinary infantry mixed divisions.
In the face of the crazy Luobei cavalry, archers, crossbows and catapults still played the main role. There are many, and the combat effectiveness is also stronger. The light cavalry charged continuously, throwing soil bags without risking their lives. Sometimes a cavalry could only repeat twice before being hit and killed by dense arrow rain and stone bullets, but This does not dispel the determination of the Luobei people in the slightest.
The spearmen played the role of the armored cavalry nemesis. More than 4,000 spearmen were divided into two waves of throwing in turn. The strong physical strength of Gao Yue's soldiers was fully displayed at this time. Steady and free, and the screams of thousands of fast-flying spears are simply ear-piercing. Even the Kamanian's heavy cavalry can only back away from such spears that can pierce stones and trees. How can the Luobei cavalry take the lead? However, the courage of the Luobei people was fully demonstrated at this time. Despite the damage caused to their own side by throwing spears and piercing, the Luobei cavalry were not intimidated. The huge advantage in numbers and the scattered formation won them a lot of points. The trenches, deer villages, and horse-rejection posts in the northern camp were leveled even faster than the southern camp, and the armored cavalry assembled into a phalanx quickly launched a full-scale attack based on the breakthrough.
There were not many Robbie infantry following the heavy cavalry charge, but they made good use of the cover of their companions, they did not participate in the attack, they only started to play when they were under the wall of the zone It works, but the hard work of the Xijiang side on the walls and fences is specially used to deal with the infantry on the strong walls of the Xijiang people. Waiting for defensive killing and ambushes, and also soaking the giant logs that built the wall with water every day, this made the Luobei infantry who tried to burn the wall to achieve their goal return without success, and paid a huge price in vain.
The first day of the Battle of the Tuqi Plain ended with a complete victory for the Western Xinjiang side. After paying a huge price, the Luobei people only filled up part of the trenches and deer villages. They met in front of the tall and strong wall To break the blood flow, the Luobei people need to invest more power to break through this point. But this is only the first day, the war will continue, and there is still plenty of time. Tu Da, who thinks he has figured out the opponent's details, is quite satisfied with his side's performance this day, especially what the armored cavalry showed when covering the infantry. Bravery and fearlessness made Tu Da very comforted. This army that he personally forged was finally able to take on more important tasks.
Looking at the gradually dimming sky in the west, Tu Da's mood was not relaxed. He was not worried about the battle situation in front of him. For those few pictures, the time for their armored cavalry to really play a role has not yet come. As long as they break through their wall, they will have to rely on their soldiers' bodies to fight against themselves. At that time, it will be the decisive battle that will really test their strength. The enemy's Gaoyue heavy infantry is not many, and in this kind of confrontation, no matter how powerful the Gaoyue infantry is, they can only passively defend against the impact of the heavy cavalry. It is only a matter of time before this continuous camp is defeated.
What made Tu Da a little worried was his rear and the southern line. The supply line in the rear was constantly harassed by the Mote and Tubu people, and the scale and extent were getting bigger and bigger. He had to mobilize two Wanqi The elite team has strengthened the defense of the supply line, but it seems that the effect is not very good. As the masters of this land, the Mote people are no less familiar with this land than the Luobei people, although this land has long been used as two However, at this time, it became another main battlefield for the confrontation between the two tribes.
But this was not the main reason that worried Tu Da. What worried him most was the southern line. Although Kurdo's sophistication and composure is already a great responsibility, but thinking about it, he is going to face He Lianbo, a wild man who was born as a mountain king. Never let go of that ray of worry. Judging from the battle reports from the early stage, Kurdo's arrangement and handling of military affairs should be remarkable. The Western Frontier Army's attempt to use its terrain advantage to curb its own side's harassment did not play a big role, and it used its mobility advantage more flexibly. As a result, the Western Frontier Army fell into a circle of exhaustion. If they relied on infantry to intercept their own cavalry on land, unless they had a cavalry force comparable to their own and a suitable geographical location, only then would they have a chance , but Tu Da didn't think that the people of Xijiang had such strength in the land of the Western Regions.
Tu Da did not intend to interfere with Kurdo's command. Since he authorized him, it proved that he recognized the other party's command ability, and the results of the previous battles also proved this point. It seems that the defenders of the Western Regions in the Western Regions have no better way to deal with the harassment. In this case, Tu Da has higher requirements for Kurdo. After all, if a hundred thousand cavalry can conquer one or two cities in the Western Regions Or an influential big market town, which will also be of great benefit to arouse the confidence of people in the Western Regions to resist Li Wufeng and to attack Li Wufeng's prestige in the mainland.
After receiving the letter from the intelligence officer who ran in panting, Fang Ming gradually knew that this battle might be the most difficult since he joined the Western Frontier Army~IndoMTL.com~Two Luo Bei The attacking group is already in place, and it is quickly pressing on Anyanji. As the defender of Anyanji, he has only one division to use. How can Anyanji, a market town with neither walls nor defensive facilities, organize its defense? Beads of sweat ooze from his forehead, and now there is only one fight. Fang Mingjian is not afraid of death. He has participated in several tragic offensive and defensive battles with the Northwest Army, which was still an opponent at that time, and he is considered a veteran He is a veteran of the battle. He has been born and died several times, and his blood has come and gone. Hell has never taken his own life. Now fighting with these nomadic barbarians on the grassland, is he still afraid of death? What made Fang Ming gradually feel pressure was the order from the headquarters and the legion to stick to Anyanji, and Anyanji must be defended. This is a market town with no shelter, it is not a city with walls and defensive weapons!
As a veteran who has been on the front line since the beginning of the Taiping Army and is now the commander of the division, Fang Ming gradually understands how difficult it is to defend this market town, especially when the opponent concentrates all at once. They formed two attacking groups, which were 40,000 cavalry. Just the charging of these 40,000 cavalry was enough to crush An Yanji to pieces. Fang Ming gradually didn't think that he would be able to withstand the opponent's attack by leading a division of soldiers. , and the reinforcements are far away in Wusun, and it will take at least a day and a half to arrive. How can I persist in this day and a half? !
