Turbulent Times Chapter 1499: The horror of landmines

Looking at the opponent's superb riding skills, he was able to easily complete the action of changing horses on such a fast horse, and the change of formation was also completed during the sprint, the fighting spirit on Li Xuanba's face became stronger, But then there was another look of pity.

Changing horses and forming formations during the sprint is nothing to their Stormy Bear Battalion, or even all the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army. However, the cavalry of the Wagang Army can reach this level, and it is indeed one of the most powerful troops in the world. At least among the original soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, only the elite can achieve this.

"It's just a pity..." Li Xuanba muttered to himself, and then said loudly: "The order will go on, the sound may be louder after a while, pay attention to control the horse."

Seeing that the distance between the two sides has narrowed by five or six hundred steps, and the cavalry of the Far East Army still remained motionless, while You Junda was ecstatic in his heart, he also secretly cursed that Li Xuanba had a brain problem as the legend said.

Then he looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind, thinking that even God is on his side!

At this time, the wind is blowing towards the opposite side, and they will definitely raise dust during the galloping process. When the wind blows, the dust will hit each other's faces, and it will also make people feel painful. Hit it in the eye, hey, that's more fun.

……

……

"These terrifying weapons that Master made are powerful, but I still like to charge and kill on the battlefield, killing people with one knife and one gun!" Li Xuanba looked at the Wagang Army cavalry charging towards them, his expression full It's a weirdly regrettable color.

Almost as soon as Li Xuanba finished speaking, there was a sudden change.

When the Wagang Army cavalry was about 400 steps away from them, a series of explosions suddenly sounded from the feet of the Wagang Army cavalry horses.

But You Junda didn't know that Li Xuanba didn't lead the bear battalion cavalry to charge at the first time, not because he was inexperienced, let alone because he had brain problems, but because of Wang Junlin's plan, Arrangements have already been made to plant hundreds of mines where the Wagang Army cavalry passed.

The Violent Bear Battalion itself is the wolf cavalry beside the Turkic Khan, and naturally they have no shortage of combat experience. Unlike Li Shanfei's 10,000 people, they don't need to be tempered, but they have to do everything possible to preserve themselves.

So according to Wang Junlin's personal instructions, a hundred new mines designed by Nie Xiaoyu were used.

The Wagang Army went down from Li Mi and Xu Shiji. Although the army had heard about the power of the Far Eastern Army’s gunpowder weapons from the inquired information, the so-called "hearing is believing is believing" has not been personally experienced, or Saying that without a solid experience, they will never or do not know how to really deal with the situation.

There was a loud bang, and flames rose from the battlefield.

The explosion directly caused the casualties of 4,000 to 5,000 cavalry of the Wagang Army who had just charged in a dense formation.

The most important thing is that the sound is too loud. Although Xu Shiji specifically confessed to You Junda and asked them to plug something into the war horse's ears, this time the sound was really too loud, and it was accompanied by a certain sound. The shock wave and the ground trembled.

So, the war horses of the unsuspecting and never-before-experienced Wagang Army cavalry were all frightened, running and bumping around, and the soldiers on the horses were all buzzing in their ears, swaying to and fro, with a look on their faces. frightened.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Wagang Army were stunned.

The 10,000 cavalrymen in the Stormy Bear Camp opposite had earplugs in their ears. They were earplugs specially made by the Yancheng Weapons and Equipment Production Base of the Far Eastern Army.

In addition, they already had a certain ability to adapt to this kind of explosion, which had little impact on them. As soon as the explosion was over, they took out something from the ear of the horse under their crotch, and followed Li Xuanba's order He stepped down and charged the Wagang Army cavalry who had already been out of formation.

This battle lasted only half an hour, and the 30,000 elite Wagang Army cavalry were defeated, and it was a big defeat in a muddleheaded manner.

The 10,000 cavalry of the Far Eastern Army pursued all the way to the foot of Fengyang City, and then led the troops back to the back mountain of Huangshizhai before the reinforcements in Fengyang city left the city, cutting off Cheng Yaojin's back road from Huangshizhai again.

In this battle, the 30,000 cavalry of the Wagang Army killed more than 17,000 people and injured more than 2,000 people. You Junda was seriously injured because he rushed to the front, and was rescued by his own soldiers desperately.

On the other hand, only 342 of the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army were killed and nearly 100 were injured.

This is a serious victory.

…

…

Huangshizhai Perseverance

After a long time, at noon, Huangshi Village was attacked by Li Shanfei and his men.

Cheng Yaojin did not wait for the planned reinforcements, and led more than 4,000 remnants to escape from the mountain road leading to the back mountain prepared in advance, and came to the flat ground leading to Fengyang City.

There are even five thousand war horses that Cheng Yaojin sent someone to hide in advance. As long as their more than 4,000 soldiers are on horses, they are all excellent cavalry, and they can quickly withdraw to Fengyang City.

Li Xuanba, who felt that he hadn't enjoyed killing enough, returned to the vicinity of the back mountain of Huangshizhai immediately after beating and repelling the reinforcements of the Wagang Army, thinking only of killing one more time.

So, when Cheng Yaojin led more than 4,000 remnants of his troops just riding on the horses that had been hidden in advance, and heaved a long sigh of relief, the cavalry led by Li Xuanba had already appeared in their field of vision.

Looking at the cavalrymen of the Violent Bear Battalion who rushed up silently, Cheng Yaojin knew that he not only lost this battle, but also lost badly.

Behind them there were nearly ten thousand infantrymen of the Far Eastern Army chasing up along the mountain road, and there were cavalrymen blocking the way in front of them, and rushed towards them excitedly.

Cheng Yaojin found in despair that there were nearly ten thousand cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army coming from the front, and the vanguard troops had already rushed into his formation, while the opponents were still pouring in endlessly at the end of his field of vision.

How could this happen? According to the previous plan, Xu Shiji will send at least 30,000 elite cavalry reinforcements, and according to the military information they have inquired before, the Far Eastern Army's Stormy Bear Camp and Li Shanfei's personnel are only 50,000 people. That's more than 45,000 people.

Except for the more than 20,000 people who besieged Huangshizhai, there are also 20,000 troops stationed at Xiaohedao Mountain Pass. Even though the Far East Army had expected that Xu Shiji would send reinforcements over, they could at most mobilize 10,000 people.

No matter how strong the Far East Army is, even if the 30,000 fine cavalry reinforcements sent by Xu Shiji cannot defeat the 10,000 Far East Army, they can persist until he leads people to escape from the back mountain of Huangshizhai!

However, they couldn't see any reinforcements now, and looking at the number of cavalry from the Far East Army blocking their back, it was almost exactly 10,000.

Could it be that Xu Shiji didn't send reinforcements as planned at all?

Cheng Yaojin had a lot of thoughts in an instant, but the current situation does not allow him to think about this issue.
