Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 9 Hunting (3)
Countless five-meter-long horse-repelling guns drilled out of the gaps in the tower shield, forming a dense forest of guns in an instant, and the two-meter-high tower shields were arranged side by side to form a solid mobile fortress The Gaoyue soldiers also knew that they would face the most ferocious charge of the remodeled Luobei iron cavalry, and this time the fighting power of the Luobei iron cavalry had far exceeded the situation in the last war with Luobei.
He gritted his teeth, held the shield with his arms, and even carried the shield with his shoulders obliquely to enhance the shield's resistance. The five-degree angles are arranged in steps, pointing far ahead, forming a thick defensive belt composed of spear points and shield surfaces. Even if they pay a high price, it is difficult to break through from the front. Only the heavy cavalry, they can rely on their unique super long iron spears for heavy cavalry and their bodies covered with iron leaf armor. The spirit of death forcibly charges, as long as a hole can be torn, all the sacrifices of the heavy cavalry can be rewarded, and once the hole is torn, and the situation cannot be made up for and controlled in time, no matter how strong the heavy infantry is, it will be difficult. The heavy infantry that broke through the formation was shaken head-on, and whether the first line of defense could break through and how long it took to break through would be the key to the victory of the battle between heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.
If the heavy cavalry can't break through or it takes too long to break through and loses too much, it means the failure of the heavy cavalry. A big nightmare, once the main force of the heavy cavalry breaks through, the heavy infantry who are scattered and unable to form a formation will face the massacre of the light cavalry who will follow, and their fate will be doomed.
If the fearless spirit of the Luobei people is commendable, but their combat experience in the face of such a big battle is obviously too lacking. When the heavy cavalry swept up with waves of yellow dust, the first wave of attacks thrown from behind the heavy infantry phalanx was not a spear, but a wooden gun covered with tung oil and lit. The densely packed wooden guns started to burn when they were thrown from the beginning to the end, and they were inserted obliquely within a circle less than 30 meters away from the hoplites, forming a somewhat strange wall of fire.
Although these wooden guns did not cause any substantial damage to the Luobei heavy cavalry who had not yet entered the range, it is conceivable that this flaming wall of fire would be a threat to the heavy cavalry phalanx that had already increased its speed to the fastest. what a nightmare. It is their nature for livestock to be afraid of fire. Even trained war horses will still subconsciously choose to avoid such a large wall of fire suddenly appearing in front of them, but the Luobei people obviously have no special training in this regard. But the consequences were unprecedentedly tragic.
Under such circumstances, the armored cavalry who charged at the fastest speed and pace no longer had any time and space to evade or pause, and it was only seen that the first batch of armored cavalry had not even had time to really confront Xijiang. The army posed a threat and fell to the ground under the screams and sudden stops of the horses. The heavy iron leaf armor made it impossible for them to stand up for a while, and the armored cavalry behind could not stop their footsteps either. They couldn't stop their steps even if they stopped. The consequence of stopping would be to collide with the comrades behind them and die together. They could only move forward, but the sudden collapse of a large number of comrades in front obviously made the Luobei cavalry unable to control for a while. Their own emotions, the panic and scattered formation, even when they rushed forward stepping on the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, could not pose any substantial threat to the waiting gun shield defense line.
The iron spear is the same length as the repelling carbine, and the impact forces interact with each other. Countless screams and screams mixed with the impact of weapons, immediately form a human purgatory in front of the gun shield defense line. The **** limbs of the people and horses seemed to be thrown into a huge meat grinder at once, and in an instant, they turned into countless stumped limbs and fell down, like a dam full of blood suddenly collapsed, and the blood all over the sky covered the defense line in an instant A few meters away.
Kurdo's body and heart trembled immediately in front of the battle. The enemy's infantry defense line in front of him was like a demon's mouth wide open. The elite didn't even get any substantial gains. Except for a few dozen scattered cavalry who escaped the destruction and collision like a natural disaster, the horses escaped from the flanks. In front of the towering gun shield defense line, the wounded soldiers and horses howled and groaned.
Although his heart was full of unwillingness and anger, Kurdo still had to admit that he really lacked some experience in fighting against such a cunning and vicious Western Frontier Army. It was unheard of, but it was this kind of weird tactics that caused him to suffer miserable defeats repeatedly, but now he had to swallow this bitter fruit.
Kurdo is not a person who casually admits defeat. The self-esteem of the Luobei people and the expectations of the commander on the Northwest Front forced him to continue taking risks. He lost the battle himself.
When the first wave of impact encountered the wall of fire, Kurdo already had a premonition that his first wave might not be able to achieve the desired effect, and for the second and third waves of charges, he even ordered to shorten the distance and open the distance at the same time. Also let the cavalry pay attention to the attack area of the opponent's fire javelin. It should be said that the effect of the second wave of javelins is not the same as that of the first wave. For one thing, there are still many javelins burning ahead, and the second wave of cavalry horses who launched the charge obviously adapted to this. , and the widening of the distance also allows the Luobei cavalry enough space to adjust their positions in an emergency, and the fire javelin does not cause much damage in essence. When passing through this area, it only needs to be swept away with a light swing of the iron spear.
The second wave of impact can be called a real desperate fight. The combat effectiveness of the Luobei heavy cavalry has been fully demonstrated in this wave of impact. The heavy iron spear demonstrated its power in front of the thick tower shield , many tower shields were shattered after being hit by a sudden blow. Of course, the Luobei people first had to pass through the dense gun forest before completing their all-out blow, and there were often not many lucky people who passed this encounter. Most of them played the role of pawns in front of clearing the shield line of defense. But even the few survivors brought a sense of crisis to Shanzhu, and the rapid improvement of Luobei's combat effectiveness made him, the leader of the so-called Iron Wall Division, feel the pressure.
The third wave of shock arranged by Kurdo was just right. When the second wave of attack opened several passages in front of the shield wall, the third wave of cavalry concentrated their forces to break through along the passages opened by their comrades. , but they were greeted by giant wooden carts filled with mud and covered with iron sheets. This was an emergency method Shanzhu came up with to prevent the enemy from breaking through in an emergency. Although the huge wooden carts could not withstand the heavy cavalry It's a waste, but it can buy some time for the defense line to re-stabilize after all, and at this time, time is almost as important as life.
It can be said that the various flexible methods of the Western Frontier Army have caused the Luobei cavalry to suffer a lot, and even almost affected the effect of the third wave of shock, but after all, this is only a sporadic phenomenon. Under the strong impact, the defense line undertaken by the First Division is still being weakened little by little, although the speed of this weakening is very slow. However, there is no such good result in the defense line undertaken by the other Indian Third Division. Although the defense line they undertake is only one-third as long as the First Division of the Second Army, the sharp-eyed Robbie People quickly discovered that this was the best place for their breakthrough.
If we compare the defense line in charge of Shanzhu to a piece of iron, it is thin but tough, and the third division of the Indian Army is obviously difficult to adapt to the attack of the Luobei cavalry~IndoMTL.com~ Later, except for a few The cavalry is holding back the First Division of the Second Army from the front. Almost all the heavy troops have been used to break through the defense line of the Indian Army. It is like a thick but slightly porous wall. The Luobei people are fierce every time. The impact of this wall will always make this wall collapse. Although it will be refilled immediately, it is obvious that this filling speed is far from keeping up with the damage caused by the Luobei people. The huge pressure brought by the light cavalry not only compressed the entire western border defense circle, but fortunately, there were 20,000 cavalry reserve troops attacking from time to time to reduce the pressure on the frontal defense line, otherwise the situation would get worse.
At this time, Kurdo regained his confidence in victory. Seeing that the opponent's defense circle was being compressed step by step by himself, although the resistance was getting stronger and stronger, he believed that this was just a flashback. When they are completely defeated by their own heavy cavalry, it is the time for their doomsday. Maybe the 20,000 cavalry reserve team can escape, but this is irrelevant. As long as these two infantry divisions, especially the so-called The "bronze wall and iron wall" Xijiang ace division was wiped out, and Kurdo was satisfied.
When the attacking group that attacked Anyanji rushed to the battlefield and eagerly joined, Kurdo was already sure that he had a chance to win. No one can change the outcome of this war. Once the battle here is over, he can rest assured It is up to the general to decide whether the bold long drive to the north is to teach those Mott and Tubu people who do not know the heights of the sky and the earth, or to immediately cooperate with the main force that has already achieved brilliant results on the Tuqi Plain.
