- Chapter 543 [Victory at Lorton Plains]
"So, Panin won this battle?"
In the warm study room of the world-famous castle in Loulan City, Du Weiwei stood by the fireplace, staring at the blazing fire, randomly picked up a piece of firewood and threw it in, and asked in a low voice in an indifferent tone road.
Standing next to Du Weiwei is the middle-aged nobleman.
"Panin did win this battle."
Du sighed slightly: "Although with Panin's ability, winning a battle is not too surprising But I am still curious about how he won."
¡°Panin stayed in Nulin Province for half a year, and the biggest thing he did was to reorganize armaments.
After taking over the military affairs of Nulin Province, he did something that shocked everyone. He dismantled the two divisions of the Thunder God's Whip. The two cavalry regiments that were originally directly affiliated to the two divisions were transferred out, and the cavalry battalions of the division generals of the original two divisions were added to form these elite cavalry into a separate army. The temporary designation It's called the 1st ** Cavalry Regiment.
This ** cavalry regiment is a strengthened regiment, consisting of two original cavalry regiments from the Thunder God's Whip and the personal guard cavalry battalions deployed by various generals, with a strength of about 4,000. "
The middle-aged man said slowly in a very careful tone: "In addition, the second-line local garrison troops reorganized by Panin, as well as the original logistics and transport troops, have mobilized all the horses, and used the elite backbone selected from the second-line garrison troops. Another cavalry unit was formed. This cavalry unit is naturally far less elite than the one mentioned above. But after all, it is an elite unit selected from the second-line local garrison. Relatively speaking, its combat effectiveness is not as good as the one mentioned above. Not too weak.
This cavalry regiment¡¯s temporary designation is the Third Cavalry Regiment. The number of troops is approximately close to two thousand. "
At this point, the middle-aged nobleman's tone was a little funny: "Speaking of which, these measures of Panin once aroused the opposition of his generals. After all, the cavalry are all elites in the army. Especially when Panin forced the generals to Contributing all his own cavalry was equivalent to tearing out someone else's flesh. But all of this was accomplished by Panin's iron fist.
In order to gather more than 7,000 cavalry troops, he almost eliminated all the people in his army who could fight on horseback. Even when there was a tense moment, in the northwest theater controlled by Panin, only the messengers could still have war horse mounts. In other troops, no one could be found who could ride a horse. They were all infantry. "
Du frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Even if he spends all his wealth, the seven thousand cavalry he can scrape together can be used - well, I admit that the elite combat effectiveness of the Thunder God's Whip is still very good. The Thunder God's Whip could not stop me at the beginning. , purely because their commander was intimidated by me, and the army's combat effectiveness is still very good.
But even so with seven thousand cavalry fighting on the plains, even if they were to ambush and catch the prairie people off guard it would be difficult for them to achieve such a big victory. "
"Yes. According to the information we received, there is another key to Panin's victory. Just now I told you, these two cavalry teams under his command. The 1st ** Cavalry Regiment, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment."
Du nodded slightly: "Well, with the first and the third, then there must be a second cavalry regiment?"
"Yes." The middle-aged nobleman said with a bitter smile: "In fact, the information we have received is not much about the Second Cavalry Regiment. Now we only know that the Second Cavalry Regiment is led by Panin himself. Composed of the Guards Cavalry Troops."
"Even if he is a duke. But he has only been a new duke for a long time. How can he have so many elite cavalry escorts? A few hundred people would be enough. How can there be so many cavalry regiments."
"That's true. I heard that Panin used his own bodyguards to form this second cavalry regiment. The number has never exceeded 800. The most accurate guess from the information we have received is that the number is about Between six hundred and eight hundred.¡±
"Between six hundred and eight hundredthat's just a reinforcement camp."
"Yes, but the combat effectiveness of this reinforced battalion played a key role in this battle!"
¡¡
¡¡¡¡
"You don't know! That guy Ping Ning is really awesome!!"
Ad¨¦ sat on the chair, panting, picked up a cup of tea, took two sips, swallowed all the tea and tea leaves, smacked his lips, and quickly continued: "He has a cavalry unit under his command, all of them They are all Panin's own bodyguards.Success. This cavalry unit is known as the Second Cavalry Regiment, but its actual strength is only more than 700 people. But these more than 700 cavalrymen are really amazing!
In accordance with your instructions, I have been working as a liaison officer with Panin. That position of 'military observer' you mentioned. To be honest, I really don't know what to do. Anyway, I only have one thing. Panin walks over there, I followed him there. Whenever Panin fought, I would be there to watch him fight.
This battle is so exciting! ! "
Ade was so speechless that he was vomiting
¡¡
¡¡¡¡
Next, according to Ade¡¯s description, Chen Daolin had a general understanding of the ambush in the Luoton Valley.
Panin deliberately replaced a group of second-line garrison troops on the Roton Valley defense line to show weakness. He deliberately allowed the grassland people to break through the defense line at this point and took the initiative to expose a big flaw in his originally complete western defense line. The prairie cavalry finally got a coveted breakthrough.
And behind this torn hole is a flat area that seems to be very suitable for prairie people to fight!
The flat area that is thirty miles long is enough for the prairie people to spread their iron hooves and fight.
With this bait, you won¡¯t be afraid that prairie people won¡¯t take the bait!
In fact, the prairie people did take the bait.
The grassland people broke through the defense line in the Roton Valley in the morning. In order to prevent the counterattack of Roland's army, the grassland people did not make any delay and quickly crossed the defense line, and the army entered deeply.
This thirty-mile-long valley and small plain are enough for prairie people to swallow the bait.
Around noon. More than 30,000 prairie cavalry entered the Roton Valley.
The most important thing is that the prairie cavalry entering the Luoton Valley are all troops directly under the royal court of the Prairie King!
?That is to say. This cavalry is the most powerful among the tribes in the grassland. The king's army of the prairie king.
The grassland is still a tribal system, and there is no concept and system of the so-called central government army. Every tribe, large and small, has its own people and horses, and the so-called royal court of the Prairie King is only the most powerful tribe among them. Because of his strong soldiers and horses, he was able to make other tribes surrender and make him their king.
The royal court of the Prairie King directly possesses the military strength. It is said that Wang Ting's own tribe controls one hundred thousand cavalry - this is of course an exaggeration, but there are still sixty or seventy thousand cavalry.
For other tribes on the grassland, if a single tribe can have 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry, it is considered a top-notch large tribe.
Therefore, the military strength of the Prairie King's court is enough to make other tribes tremble and surrender. This is the biggest reason why he can secure the throne.
In the previous battle, it was the Prairie King¡¯s Royal Court Headquarters cavalry team that stormed in the direction of the Roton Valley. Because the Roton Valley has always been the main direction of the prairie people's attack, the reason is naturally behind the defense line in the Roton Valley. That thirty-mile-long river valley plain!
In the concept of prairie people, whoever can break through the defense line here will then enter the thirty-mile-long plain. Naturally, it was like driving straight in to cut melons and watch vegetables - of course the Prairie King left such a good thing to his own royal court headquarters.
In fact, this is how things developed.
The prairie people move forward very quickly.
By the afternoon, more than 30,000 cavalrymen poured in through this opening and entered the thirty-mile river valley plain that they considered to be the "place of victory."
Here I want to talk about the terrain of the Lorton Valley plain, which is very interesting.
From the map, this is a very interesting sandwich cookie-like terrain.
It looks like the word "three".
The top horizontal line. It's the Lorton River, which is not too wide.
A horizontal line in the middle. It is equivalent to this plain, which is about thirty miles long. The widest part reaches five or six miles. Resembling an irregular long flat area.
The bottom horizontal line is a typical loess hilly terrain in the northwest. The interlocking loess slopes are located in the northwest wilderness. The terrain is complex and rugged. Most places are covered with various large and small loess hills, with mountain roads in between. It is winding and winding, and is not suitable for the army to deploy and fight.
After the prairie people's 30,000 royal cavalry rushed into the valley plain, they advanced all the way east with a very fierce momentum - after all, they had just wiped out the Roland defenders on the defensive line in front of the Roton Valley.
And just about in the afternoonAt about three o'clock, the steppe people were ambushed by Panin's long-planned ambush.
Panin¡¯s attack is very interesting.
At the top, he dispatched a fleet!
Yes, that¡¯s right, it is indeed a fleet! !
The northwest is a place lacking water, but Panin has built a fleet in the northwest! !
This fleet is not large in size, with only a dozen small and medium-sized ships.
This fleet came down from the upper reaches of the Roton River. The ships were all civilian ships and even small commercial fishing boats that Panin found from the Lancang Canal and the eastern part of Nulin Province!
He organized these boats into a team and sailed to the Roton River. There were not many soldiers on the boats, but they were loaded with many weapons.
Ballistas, long-range longbows, and even a few larger ships, Panin actually sent people to load a small sling!
It is said that this small catapult is assembled. It is the latest product of the Imperial Military Academy in recent years and has not yet been mass-produced.
This fleet, on the Roton River, began an intrusive attack on the prairie people on the plains on the bank.
Bows and arrows, ballista
This plain was originally a long strip. The widest place was only six miles, and the narrowest place was only two or three miles Two or three miles was only one or two kilometers. There was almost no need to consider ballistas and longbows. range issue.
The prairie people who marched on the shore were attacked from the water.
This gives the prairie people a headache.
The grassland people lack long-range and heavy weapons No, to be precise, it¡¯s not that they lack it, but that they don¡¯t have it! At least this cavalry does not Their combat purpose is to advance eastward as quickly as possible. To ensure the strong mobility of the cavalry, where can they carry heavy and long-range weapons?
The result isthe prairie cavalry on the shore did not fight, but they had no way to fight back!
Panin¡¯s fleet of extraordinary troops. They fought happily on the water, firing ballistae and bows and arrows at the heads of the prairie people walking on the shore.
This has brought a great degree of confusion to the prairie people - the situation of being beaten and unable to fight back makes the prairie people somewhat at a loss.
after all. They can't just ride their horses and swim into the river to fight.
Use fleets on the water to attack and harass the grassland people and slow down their progress. At the same time, it brings chaos to them.
Panin¡¯s fleet was very bad. When the prairie people ran on the shore, they followed them on the water. Run all the way, fight all the way.
Such an attack, probably in the evening, arrived*!
Being in the northwest, and it¡¯s winter again, it gets dark very early.
Around four or five o'clock. The sun has basically set.
At this time, the fleet on the water began to use small slingshots to project a type of firearm into the prairie people's team on the shore!
It was a kind of gunpowder pot, a black clay pot. When thrown out, it was like a bomb. When it fell on the ground, the gunpowder exploded.
To be fair, this kind of thing looks a bit scary, but its lethality is actually limited.
I can¡¯t bear it, it¡¯s already night!
It¡¯s a dark night. The light was originally dim, but I saw fire jars exploding from all directions, causing fire everywhere.
The grassland people themselves are not a real professional army. Lack of a complete professional army establishment. If in the army of the prairie people, those at the general level rely on their personal bravery and prestige to lead the army, then the quality of the professional army that these prairie people lack most is: command!
After being attacked by several rounds of such explosive bombs
When the chaos of the prairie cavalry reached a certain level, Panin¡¯s trump card came!
At this time, the large army of prairie people had already arrived at an area predetermined by Panin.
This is the ambush place prepared by Panin for the grassland people! Panin's cavalry, which had been hidden in the hills of the loess slopes below the river valley, rushed out from the ambush! Launched a charge towards the prairie people from the flank!
? One is calculating mentally but not intentionally. At the same time, in the darkness, the prairie people did not know how many cavalry troops the Roland people were attacking so the prairie people's resistance seemed panicked.
The 1st ** Cavalry Regiment, plus the mixed 3rd Cavalry Regiment, simultaneously launched a charge towards the prairie people from the flanks.
The war has reached here. In fact, it was just a stalemate between the two sides.
Although the prairie people were flustered, after all, the prairie people had a strong cavalry force. More than 30,000 kings?The elite iron cavalry will not collapse so easily.
And Panin¡¯s cavalry. There are only 7,000 people in a full attack, and the combat effectiveness of the mixed third cavalry regiment is indeed not very good.
After the initial panic, the grassland people gradually stabilized the situation, and the two sides fought in the dark. It was a draw.
When the situation became tense, Panin put in his last trump card.
The 2nd Cavalry Regiment!
That¡¯s the cavalry regiment with only six or seven hundred people!
¡¡
"This Second Cavalry Regiment is really awesome!" Ade said with great joy: "I don't know where Panin got so many good things from! These 700 cavalrymen are all covered with armor! That kind of full body armor Armor, it looks thick and tight! It¡¯s like wrapping a person in an iron can! But I tried to carry it, and it¡¯s actually not as heavy as I thought. I guess it¡¯s probably heavier than the ones in our military. The weight of the full-body armor is half the weight!
I heard that this is also a good thing developed by the Imperial Military Academy. It should be the latest military steel armor. It seems that they haven't invested in the equipment yet. Panin's entire family wealth can only get a few hundred sets of armor from the imperial capital.
Not only the cavalry, but also the horses are armored! Not to mention that these 700 war horses are all carefully selected and the most majestic horses. In addition, they are covered with vests and even heavy armored cavalry This rush is as if they are on the ground. It's like a rolling boulder!
Seven hundred heavily armored cavalry formed a team and were fighting inextricably on the battlefield when they suddenly rushed out of the darkness!
My God, at that time, the momentum of these seven hundred cavalry charges was as loud as thunder in the sky! The momentum is so scary!
I have never seen such a fight!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????What's the point of calling it a war if they charge forward? It¡¯s just a crushing ride! ! The team in front of the prairie people was overwhelmed without even stopping them! I stood on the top of the mountain and saw these seven hundred riding on the plains! The grassland people couldn't resist at all, they were washed to pieces!
Panin personally led the charge again. He ran at the front of the 700 riders, and he was simply invincible.
The team of prairie people may seem huge, but in front of these 700 riders, they are like tofu, breaking into pieces upon impact!
How can we fight this time?
Soon the prairie people had completely crossed over, and the large groups of prairie people began to collapse. There were more and more people, so keep running westward!
Panin¡¯s team started chasing, chasing all the way from east to west, without even stopping to pick up the stragglers of the prairie cavalry.
I saw with my own eyes that many defeated troops from the grasslands were overtaken by Panin's team. The grassland people jumped off their horses, knelt on the ground and raised their knives to surrender. But Panin's people didn't even look at them, and just chased all the way to the west. Went down.
That didn¡¯t look like a pursuit. For a while, I even wondered if Panin¡¯s cavalry had made a mistake and were racing against the prairie people.
After chasing like this, Panin's team stopped chasing when they reached the defensive line on the west side of the Roton Valley that they had missed. The warship docked on the river, and a group of infantry disembarked and reoccupied the defensive line. He even lifted all the ballistae and bows and arrows down.
Then the Panin cavalry began to turn back and clean up the battlefield.
This time is the most cruel. The grassland cavalry scattered in the river valley plains had been dispersed before. Now that their retreat was blocked, they no longer had the heart to resist. In addition, Panin brought the 700 heavy cavalry to block the murderous god. God-killing. The prairie people could hardly form much resistance, and when they were defeated to the extreme, the prairie people began to surrender in droves.
Panin is so ruthless. He gathered the defeated troops of the prairie people and first captured them in batches.
After taking the prisoners, collect the weapons and horses, and let the army retreat. Then the cavalry went up and massacred!
There is no need to kill people in this massacre, just use the cavalry to charge at the captives and drive them into the river!
That scene was so tragic!
Almost 90% of those grassland people are landlubbers. There are no rivers on the grassland. Not many can swim.
Being driven by the cavalry with swords and charging, the prisoners of the brigade were killed and all rushed to the river!
I saw the river was full of people! It's all densely packed with heads. Struggling, yelling, crying
After more than half an hour, I gradually stopped hearing any sound!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This guy Panin is tooGot it! He didn't even bother to use a knife and just drove the prisoners into the river!
¡°I estimate that in the past two days, many, many corpses will appear in the lower reaches of the Roton River" (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
