- Zhang Mai was sitting on the building boat, listening to his men's report on the new formation of Modao Battle Ax to suppress bandits.
Going all the way north to wipe out the recently formed horse thieves and bandits was the "task" Zheng Wei "entrusted" to Zhang Mai, and it was also regarded as Zhang Mai's "reward" for contributing three ships to the merchants. At the same time, it is also a training exercise for the Modao Battle Ax New Formation.
For the backbone of the new formation, the veterans of the Modao Tomahawk Formation who had experienced the Battle of Huanma Highlands, dealing with these bandits was simply killing a chicken with a knife, so Zhang Mai never thought about victory or defeat, he just wanted to The combat effectiveness of this new army can be judged from the efficiency of suppressing bandits. For this reason, Zhang Mai even asked Liu Heihu to abandon the principle of "attacking with superior strength" and ordered the Modao Battle Ax New Formation to attack with equal strength under any circumstances in order to achieve the purpose of training courage.
Judging from the current feedback results, it is still good. Since ancient times, generals have been born in Guanxi. This group of men recruited from Qinxi have undergone formal and rigorous military training, and then are made of veterans who have spent their remaining lives in battles. They are fierce but lawless. Although some details It can be seen that the recruits' methods are not sophisticated enough. At this stage, they are not up to the level of the Modao Tomahawk Formation during the Huanma Highlands period, but Zhang Mai is already quite satisfied.
After all, the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation in the Huanma Highlands came from Anxi and traveled more than 20,000 miles to gradually expand the army. Both soldiers and generals are the product of the survival of the fittest in hundreds of small and large battles, so they are not suitable for use. standards to measure a new army.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mai couldn't help but judge the composition of his troops.
Guo Luo's men have always fought steadily and rarely suffered defeats, but they have never seen any "miraculous" achievements.
The troops trained by Guo Shiyong are the main force of the entire Tiance Tang Army in terms of quantity, and they have always maintained a stable and courageous state. It is the so-called Longxiang Iron Armor Army. In fact, most of them were trained by Guo Shiyong. Guo Shiyong continued his existing training system after his death. Zhang Mai usually only participated in military training, but was not a training general. Although he led the team during war, he never really commanded. His existence is just a dose of chicken blood. As the head of state and spiritual leader, he infects the soldiers and boosts their morale, so that his subordinates can exert stronger combat effectiveness.
Xue Fu's troops are not strictly speaking the "old tribe of Anxi", but his status as the prince of Dawan prevents him from being as close as Guo Yang. Although the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment is more intimate than the people returning from Hexi, they are not as close as Guo Yang. Under the "Pan Anxi System". But there is always a looming sense of crisis, so this unit usually tolerates it but performs powerfully in wartime**. Moreover, Xue Fu was stationed in Lanzhou to intimidate Hehuang, and the conflict with the Tibetan powerful had never stopped, so it was not surprising to Zhang Mai that the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment had such a record.
Yang Yi’s army has been active at the border, capable of attacking and defending. The one who can win can lose - the so-called person who can lose will never retreat when defeated. It retreats without dispersing, and disperses without collapsing. It is ten times more difficult for an army to reach the point where it can be defeated than to be able to win. After the Battle of Luntai, the Uighurs north of the Tianshan Mountains failed to recover and were unable to mount a counterattack sufficient to shake the Tiance regime. However, after all, this nation had been operating in the Western Regions for hundreds of years. Its foundation cannot be completely destroyed by a single war, so Yang Yi has never had any underground wars, and small battles have never stopped.
Strictly speaking, Shi Ba's men and horses were split from Zhang Mai's Guards. If the Iron Beast Army is transferred back to his side. Putting on the armor of the guards, it was completely a Dragon Knight Iron Armored Army with no risk of closeness and trust. However, as Shiba grew up, he himself became a new dose of chicken blood, the Iron Beast Army. It has become more and more unique in color, and after stationed at the border, it is also different from the Longxiang Iron Armor Army.
As for Guo Wei's troops, they were originally a few miscellaneous forces. However, under this genius commander, their troops are becoming more and more organized and powerful. Now they have become a group of infantry, cavalry, chariot, A legion with bows, fire, and a complex and complete system. Yang Yi once wrote to Zhang Mai privately, saying that he was not sure about facing Guo Wei. Where to start. This army was formed the latest - it was not considered an army until after the Luntai War, but it grew stronger the fastest. In the war situation in the East after the Luntai War, it was almost this army that played the leading role in dealing with Dang Xiang, Shi Jin, and others. Meng Shu, even against the Khitan, Guo Wei never let Zhang Mai down.
At the end of the evaluation, Zhang Mai suddenly discovered that among the Tiance Tang Army's armies, the Longxiang Iron Armor Army had fought the least in recent years! This is also a natural thing. For Tiance Datang, the Longxiang Iron Armor Army is the forbidden army of this emerging country. If there is a problem in the river, Guo Luo will solve it; if there is a problem in Luntai, Yang Yi will solve it; if there is a problem in Suiye, Shiba will solve it; if there is a problem in Hehuang, Xue Fu will solve it; if there is a problem in Guanzhong, Guo Wei will solve it. As for the permanent residence of the Longxiang Iron Armor Army - Ganliang, where life has become better and better after the establishment of the Tiance regime, how many things can happen?
After the Luntai War, although the Longxiang Iron Armor Army often fought in the east, west, north and south, most of the timeThey all exist as a deterrent. The really dangerous and troublesome close-quarters combat and siege and death battles have mostly been solved before the Longxiang Iron Armor Army arrived. Some generals and colonels have not even experienced it for up to two years. The battlefield—even Shiba has been in this state.
Although regular training has never stopped, training is not actual combat after all. Especially after you have achieved success and fame, it is naturally more difficult to regain your sense of death.
This is a force with the best average physical fitness, the best equipment, and the most generous rewards. Most of their soldiers have families and businesses in Hexi, and almost all of them have their own pastures at the captain level and above. When Xiao Shitou was in Hexi, his wife even raised him to be a little fat boy for a while.
Even Zhang Mai himself, who was training with the Modao Battle Ax New Formation during this period, also found that his energy and physical fitness were not as good as during the Eastern Expedition.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mai’s heart was not filled with emotion, but with joy!
"It is right to send the Longxiang Iron Armor Army to Mobei!"
The people who are born with meat are happy, but it is a unfortunate start for a army. Although they are his closest comrades who have shared weal and woe together, Zhang Mai still does not want these comrades to one day become the "800,000 forbidden army" of the Dashu Dynasty that is about to collapse!
For ordinary people, pampering may be a dream life, but for a proud warrior, it is the most unacceptable and gentle end!
"Under the red satin blood spear, there is no room for a paper tiger with arrogance and arrogance!"
"Or, resurrect in the blood of iron. Just like a small stone, wear off the fat and turn into stone again."
“Either, let this myth, which cannot be touched except by me, be shattered in my lifetime and sound the alarm for future generations!”
even so. Zhang Mai is still unwilling to give up his expectations for his former colleagues.
"I believe you will not let me down!"
——————————
Zhang Mai is not the only one who is well aware of the special nature of the Longxiang Iron Armor Army. In fact, Yang Yi and Li Bin have also been worried about it for a long time.
Fortunately, the leader of the army in the Mobei battle was Yang Yi, who was Zhang Mai's brother. None of the Longxiang generals dared to show the slightest domineering attitude towards Ying Yangqi. For other troops, the Anxi veterans of the Longxiang Army may still be arrogant, but facing the old comrades under Yingyang's banner. We all came all the way from Lingxi, so we know each other well, and no one knows who the other is!
After experiencing thousands of miles of travel in Mobei, this Tiance Forbidden Army did not disappoint Yang Yi. Many generals found it difficult to move thousands of miles to fight after ending their comfortable life. Some people's hands and feet were obviously not as agile as those of their comrades in the Yingyang Army, but again No matter how hard it is, no one will cry out - whoever shouts out will be the greatest insult to themselves! Even Zhang Mai was embarrassed!
But even Mobei. The Longxiang Iron Armor Army has not yet taken on the most dangerous mission - until now, the biggest test for this army has come.
Li Bin’s eyes widened. Watching the Khitan's heart rush towards Long Xiang's iron-armored army - at this distance, he no longer even needed a telescope.
The two formations are facing each other, and the two cavalry are facing each other!
"Very good!" Li Bin let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the cry of killing!
Long Xiangjun is not timid!
——————————
Even in the era of hot weapons, even after the emergence of artillery warfare, do you dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat? It is still a necessary standard to judge whether an army is elite, because it best reflects the training and will of an army.
In later generations, the Song Dynasty, which lost the place where war horses were produced, had only powerful crossbows, giant shields and heavy armor to deal with nomads. The powerful crossbow keeps the distance, the giant shield provides close protection, and the heavy armor is the final protection for the body. However, these three pieces of equipment. It all revolves around two words: defense! Two more words were revealed in the defense: cower!
Because of fear, they retreated. After the martial soul was lost, no matter how elite the weapons were, they became useless. The biggest reason for the defeat of the Song Dynasty was not the lack of horses, but the lack of souls. The most common situation among nomadic cavalry is that after a round of bows and arrows, they find that they cannot stop the enemy's horse hoofs. When the cavalry approaches, they collapse and flee before they can take the sword. It is rare that they can still fight tenaciously against horses - if they can If there is widespread hand-to-hand resistance, then even if there will be defeats one after another, it will be enough to force the Northern Horse to advance with continuous bleeding wounds, and it will be impossible to collapse thousands of miles.
——————————
The opponents of the Khitans outside Shangjing City are Tang people, not Song people! Zhang Mai is not Zhao Gou!
All bows and arrows and shields have never been regarded as dependent. The former is just an appetizer to weaken the opponent, and the latter is a tool to reduce casualties. Yang Yi has never thought of hiding behind the shield wall to defend the enemy from the "shield" , from the beginning, they??Get ready for a tough close battle!
The three major depths of the Tiance Tang Army were originally in the Chuyue formation - strong at the two tips and thin at the center. The goal from the beginning was to defeat the two wings of the Khitan first. The task of the central force was to neutralize the Khitan's impact. This This is Li Bin's tactical plan of "blunting his edge and breaking his wings". When the two wings are broken, the Tang army will gather together and be able to surround and annihilate the Khitan's most elite troops.
But if the Khitan dared to use this cone formation, it must be with the intention of "cutting out the heart and beheading", which means that Yang Yi's head is the ultimate goal of the Khitan! Before the decisive battle, the rangers harassed them, and during the decisive battle, they "beheaded and ripped out their hearts." These were the customary skills of the nomadic cavalry in Mobei. This was true in the battle of Luntai, and in Mobei's fight against Shiba. It even became a habit that lasted until Temujin period.
For the Tiance Tang Army, Yang Yi was the most courageous person in the army. Having him in command would greatly boost the morale of the entire army. But at the same time, Yang Yi could not afford to lose anything. If he died, not only would the morale of the tens of thousands of Tang troops be greatly boosted, After being hit, there is no guarantee that the hundreds of thousands of vassal troops who have just surrendered will not defect before the battle!
It is difficult to say who is better than the other in the tactical arrangements of Tiance and Khitan. It can only be said that both sides have their own plans. The final result will depend on the performance of both sides on the battlefield.
The Khitan could complete at least two rounds of central breakthroughs, which was within Li Bin's expectations. But he didn't expect the Khitan forward to break through so fast!
"The two depths have been broken, but the casualties in the core area are less than a thousand, the horsepower has not been exhausted, and the connection between the forward and the wings has not been severed. If the attack in the core area is allowed to continue, the third depth can be broken through. Then push it directly to Yang Yi!
Although Yang Yi is determined to fight, Li Bin cannot take the risk!
The battlefield is dangerous, who can guarantee what will happen!
Therefore, he temporarily changed the deployment of combat power in the third layer, turning the first moon into a quarter moon, increasing the depth of the center of the third layer of military horses, and using the elite of Longxiang Iron Armor as a counterattack.
"We can't let the inner circle rush in front of the Governor!"
This is the only general order issued by Li Bin!
————————————
The black dragon that pulled Duo Kuo and sat down with him was already in the best condition. Black Dragon was already sweating slightly, and so was Lala Duokuo himself. He knew that both man and horse were at their most excited. He adjusted the huge ax with an extended handle that could be used as a mace or a broadsword, and looked excitedly at Tang Qi, who was charging towards him from the opposite side.
In the eyes of Lala Duokuo, the tribal cavalry who have joined Tiance's banner cannot be considered Tiance's cavalry, and the Ganliang recruits they just encountered cannot be considered the real Tang army. The one rushing towards him is the real ace Tang cavalry!
Five hundred steps!
The 1,500 Khitan cavalry who completed the central breakthrough and rushed to the front howled like wolves!
“Woooooo——”
The sharp howl penetrated the roar of horse hooves and spread throughout the battlefield!
Standing at the top of Shangjing City, Yelu Deguang couldn't help but raise his fist. Beat the city wall and go up to the capital. Tens of thousands of people responded at the same time——
"Ohh Ohh ohh——"
The echoes and howls seemed to have merged into one even though they were miles apart!
By this time, both Shi Jian and Guo Zhang had arrived at the central battlefield, but the two wings of the cone formation were very tough. Shi Jian continued to mobilize troops, and Guo Zhang continued to kill and injure the Khitan right-wing cavalry with cavalry fire. But coupled with the two tips of the Chuyue formation, it is not possible to complete the "folded wings" for the time being!
At this moment, the Longxiang Iron Armor Army must face Lala Duokuo at his peak!
"The Tang Dynasty is invincible!"
"My man! Mighty!"
The Longxiang veterans shouted slogans, and there were only a hundred steps left!
The cavalry on both sides sped up at the same time!
A powerful black dragon carrying heavy loads. When he ran to this point, he also showed that he was faster than ordinary war horses, and even slightly separated from the cavalry cluster behind him!
Fifty steps!
Captain Long Xiang, who was at the forefront, gave the order: "Die Feng!"
The running speed of the five cavalrymen accelerated at the same time, and a small piece protruded from the entire crescent moon cavalry formation. Their armors were all Mingguang armors, their horses were all sweat-blooded horses, and their people were all above the rank of captain but had no leadership tasks. A cavalryman who is still a cavalryman!
The five will form a concave semicircle, with a knife in the center and four shots on the left and right, forming a lock!
This is a moving trap, coming directly to drag Duo Kuo!
In the rapid cavalry charge, the distance of fifty steps passed by in a flash!
Ten steps!
The four lance cavalry suddenly joined forces from left to right, and the four spears were launched at the same time. Two spears stabbed at Lala Duokuo from the left and right, with the purpose of locking Lala Duokuo.With Kuo's action, two spears were aimed at the black dragon at the same time. The captain in the center of the formation, his saber was ready to go!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can move as fast as thunder. The interaction of the five knights is as flexible and unified as the five fingers of a person. It is actually possible to form such an almost unsolvable formation while galloping! How many times of training does it take to achieve this tacit understanding!
By now, everyone knows how powerful Dragola Duokuo is. With his amazing explosive power, no one can defeat him in battle. Once he gets close, he will be swung by his giant ax, even if his armor can't resist it, he will be cut in half in an instant. , several times even people and horses were beheaded together, so this "breaking attack" not only required skills, but also courage - the courage to not be afraid of death even though you knew you might be cut in half!
Even if he dies, as long as one of the guns restrains him or kills the black dragon, La Duokuo will become a victim under the sword!
The Khitan is sharp and will be broken!
The battlefield will be tilted towards the Tiance Tang Army!
The four-gun general is already mentally prepared. Two of the four on his side may die, but so what!
Just die! On the battlefield, you must put yourself to death and survive!
Those who are greedy for life are prone to death, but those who are not afraid of death can live. These lessons have not been forgotten because of the two years of affluent life.
The Marshal treats himself well, and Datang treats himself well!
Anyway, someone will definitely take care of my wife and children in Ganliang. They could never forget the teasing look in Comrade Ying Yang's eyes when he looked at them during the Mobei roundabout.
"You have been pampered for so long, can you still fight?"
No one said this, but that’s what that look meant!
This battle is not just for Tiance, not just for the marshal, but also to avenge oneself!
Let the world know. They are wrong!
The thousands of miles of detours in Mobei have worn away all the flesh of Longxiang's iron armor!
And now, everyone in the world must know: Long Xiang is still Long Xiang, and is still the backbone of Tiance Tang Army!
Under the red satin blood spear, there is a glory that no one can despise!
——————————
Six cavalry are staggered, and the siege is complete!
The subsequent cavalry plexus in the heart will arrive in two snaps of the fingers, and this siege will only last for two seconds - but that's enough!
The intertwined moment. Four shots were fired, and the saber was ready to go!
Raised the huge ax of Duola Duokuo and swung it to the right! He shouted loudly, it was the soul-chasing song from hell!
The four cavalry generals roared fiercely at the same time, as if they wanted to call out their entire lives, and all the strength of their bodies ran through their hands. In the pre-war training, this shot was powerful enough to penetrate the iron armor!
Even warriors wearing iron armor and horses wearing iron armor. Don't even think about escaping from this shot!
Almost at the same time, the two captains on the right hardly needed to look at each other. I can already feel the strong wind blowing against my face! The giant ax is coming!
"Is it us?"
At that moment, they had a premonition of death, but they did not flinch!
"Just die!"
"For the success of my colleagues!"
——————————
With a snap, the explosive force of pulling Duo Kuo was so great that it was terrifying, even in normal practice. He once cut three wooden men wearing iron armor in half at the same time in one breath. At this time, he faced a life and death threat, and his burst of power was doubled than usual!
However, at this moment, an arrow came faster than the gun!
The feather arrow pierced the throat of the second cavalryman on the left, and then pierced the shoulder of the first cavalryman on the left!
The Condor Shooter! Kill two birds with one stone!
Who is he? Being able to display such magical skills while a horse is galloping!
The giant ax came so violently that before the spear hit it, it slashed the first knight on the right through his neck, including his head and shoulders. Because the force was too strong, he continued to chop off without any stagnation. The horse's head of the second cavalryman on the right, the second cavalryman on the right rolled off his horse, and the spear's aim was lost!
The moment before, Duo Kuo was dragged to death!
In the last moment, four shots will kill two and injure two!
The black dragon did not stop, and continued to charge forward with the strong wind. The captain's eyes were red with the sword, but he still swung the sword back, but the giant ax was swung back. This time it was a smash! Instead of using the edge of the axe, he used the back of the axe. The huge ax of more than 80 kilograms, with the strong wind like rushing a car, shook the war saber and twisted it. Without a single hit, the black dragon had already hit the bloody horse. They were almost the same, but the man on the Sweat-blood mount was already shaken to the point of being unable to sit still. At this distance, long weapons were useless!
The captain of the Ma-Zhan Sabo instantly abandoned his long sword and drew it horizontallyKnife, the whole action is completed in the blink of an eye, and to be able to make such a judgment in such a dangerous situation, no one must be a veteran of many battles to do it!
??????????? Drag La Duokuo did not dodge, and let the horizontal knife penetrate his armor. The sharp tip penetrated the iron armor, but it only penetrated half an inch of the flesh before he was forced to go in and could no longer penetrate! The muscles of the Xi clan general in front of him were as hard as black iron!
"It's good to hurt me!"
At the same time as he uttered a very unfluent Chinese sentence, La Duokuo stretched out his left arm like an ape, and his left hand was like an iron claw. His fingers actually pierced the eyes of Captain Zhanma Dao. In the piercing cry, his whole body was shaken. He was lifted off the saddle and dragged to the ground, with blood flowing all over his body. Life and death were uncertain!
The giant ax was swung again, cutting off the sweaty horse's trick - he didn't need to kill the horse, but at this time, Lala Duokuo seemed to have entered a state of madness. With human blood and horse blood splashing at the same time, Lala Duokuo was Kuo's whole body was stained red, and there was even a piece of intestine hanging from his shoulder! The whole state is like a demon from hell!
This is not a battle at all, this is a massacre! Not violent, but brutal! Not brave, but barbaric!
Even Li Bin, who has been in battle for a long time, felt sick to his stomach when he watched it on the viewing platform.
Incomparable blood filled the entire battlefield.
But after the subsequent cavalry group arrived, the black dragon screamed and charged again.
The blood they were subjected to summoned wildness, barbarity, and a devil that makes people’s hearts break with fear!
The 15,000 cavalrymen who have broken away from the second depth are like turning into 15,000 evil ghosts, continuing to charge forward and continue to slaughter!
Dragon Duo Duo inverted the Tomahawk in his right hand, dragged the body with his left hand, and the Mobei tribal cavalry on both sides seemed to see this non -human existence.
The cone formation inserted into Longxiang's iron-armored army with great power!
The forward cavalry plexus in the heart of the heart has taken control of the entire battlefield!
In the distance, at the head of Shangjing City, Yelu Deguang put down his telescope and laughed loudly!
He knew that the Khitan was going to win and that the inner circle was about to win a big victory!
In such a Shura scene, few enemies can survive without collapse!
As long as the morale collapses, the enemy will be overwhelmed!
————————————
At this moment, a low chant sounded like a song but not a tune, like a song but not a song!
It seems like a low chant, but also like an elegy.
Yang Yi was among thousands of troops. Hearing this song, he couldn't help but feel shocked!
——————————
The wild grass is so vastthe poplars are also swayingthe frost is in the middle of Septembersend me out of the suburbs
There are no people living on all sidesthe high tombs are craggythe horses are raising their heads to the sky and roaringthe wind is sluggish
The quiet room has been closedit will not return to the court for a thousand years
——————————
This is Tao Yuanming’s elegy. It is also a funeral song that Guo Luo takes the lead in singing in the city or beside the bonfire.
That was the first and most difficult battle for the Tiance Tang Army, and it was also the first cornerstone that laid the foundation for the spirit of the Longxiang Iron Armor Army.
——————————
The thousands of years will not be over Xianda has no choice but to send each other each returned to his family
Relatives or remnants of sorrow Others have also sung What's the point of dying The body is in the same mountain
"What's the point of dying supporting your body on the same mountain"
——————————
The song is full of compassion but not majestic and mighty. Such a song should be very demoralizing!
But why couldn’t Lala Duokuo feel the low morale of the Tang army?
As a member of the Qianyan family, Lala Duokuo can feel direct encouragement, but Tao Yuanming's deep sorrow is beyond his ability to feel.
"The long funeral songs are silent for the dead. Ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye. The deadly battle in Deng Shangcheng has become an honor for the dead, but it is a responsibility for the living!
A responsibility we cannot live up to!
??Singing so low that it is almost silent, with longing, facing death!
Lala Duokuo suddenly discovered that although his battle ax was powerful, it was stuck in the quagmire!
His slaughtering performance, which was like the demon god Rahu, did not collapse the morale of the Longjian Iron Armor Army. Instead, it stimulated them to greet him as if they were willing to die!
It is still a large conical formation composed of cavalry, falling into the dragon's iron armored army step by step, advancing step by step, bleeding step by step!
The huge ax that pulled Duo Kuo had already cut through countless Mingguang armors, but the former followed the latter! This feeling of dying gradually dispelled the barbaric wantonness, and finally with a click, the giant ax was born.A gap appeared, and the black dragon also gasped!
In anger, Lala Duokuo let out a loud roar. The giant ax that had lost its sharpness was completely used as a mace, and he smashed a gap!
The third depth was breached!
——————————
But at this moment, Yang Yi, with his eyes closed, seemed to hear some kind of breath that others could not hear, and whispered: "That's enough, Khitan is tired!"
The tree eight feet long is erected!
The fourth deep Yingyang cavalry army is ready to go!
"Come on, brothers! Tell the Khitans to die! Don't spare any of them! Kill them!"
