Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 73 Random Shooting
Soon, two chariot barriers were quickly formed on Gao Wen's left wing and the Imperial Song Army's right wing:
Thousands of border soldiers commanded by Old Walter were linked together with forty armored tanks equipped with shotguns and large muskets with cooked cowhide ropes to form a vehicle phalanx, followed by more than a hundred relatively short frames. The carts were like wings stretched out on both sides of the phalanx, and the archers and gunners of the border people were crouching behind the carts. Covered the Seljuk cavalry and reorganized their formation behind them;
The bicycle carts on the right wing of the Huangsong Dynasty directly formed temporary fortifications on three sides of the road. About three soldiers under the command also lay behind them, and cooperated with the independent-column meteor charging artillery carts that locked the "array gate" at intervals, and also There were crossbows brought up, and they were facing off with the Roman Empire's border troops about three hundred feet away and firing at each other - the commander of the Imperial Song Dynasty's chariot array was Guo Cheng, and the military cavalry The commander of the military capital was Guo Zude, one Shen Yong, the other brave, and they were sworn brothers; there was also Liu Yanqing's son Liu Guangshi, who was only in his early twenties at the time. The general's flag was wrapped in armor, and he held a horse made of white wax poles. He stabbed left and right, and shouted boldly, "The responsibility for killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds all lies with me, the young Tai Sui. Follow me to bind the enemy's general!"
The fifty cavalry soldiers behind them, all wearing heavy armor, shouted in unison to cheer up Guangshilai - these fifty cavalrymen were like steel knives, cutting through the snowy ground, regardless of the fire, muskets and bows of the Roman border people. Blocking the attack, there was a burst of neighing, like a dragon colt, it crossed the carriage, drew its sword and slashed, waved the iron whip, and threw the iron mace. The cavalry troops behind them rushed in bravely. In an instant, the right wing joint of the old Walter's formation collapsed. danger.
At the critical moment, Old Walter personally boarded the armored command chariot, raised a red flag, and directed the gunmen around him to fire continuously, "Aim at the enemy's armored cavalry and hit them hard, and don't worry about the others!"
"Come on, Lao Ge (veteran), come down and compete with Little Tai Sui!" Liu Guangshi held up the horse's hat and galloped in front of Old Walter. He raised the golden horseback covered with snow and frost, and his red hat tassel swayed, showing off Bai Sensen's wolf-like teeth provoked him, and he stuck the horse in his hand and took out the carved bow to shoot.
Old Walter stood motionless at the front of the car. The shooter wearing a black felt hat hidden next to him stared at Liu Guangshi, squeezed the trigger of the long blunderbuss, and a puff of smoke exploded:
Liu Guangshi's mount was shot and he died instantly;
Meteor-like arrows also passed by Walter's side, and the flag bearer next to him fell down in response.
Liu Guangshi, who landed on the ground, rolled on the spot, danced his horse again, and shouted loudly, "The enemy's flag has fallen, the enemy has been defeated!"
In the flying snow, the soldiers of the border army who followed were turning their iron forks and spears to push the retreating defeated soldiers back to fight with the cavalry troops brought by Liu Guangshi.
On the left side of the chariot formation, Guo Zude led 300 armored cavalry and personally rode his horse through the snow to charge into the formation, killing the border residents behind the chariot and retreating steadily.
The Seljuk cavalry, who were about to reorganize their formation, actually became frightened and began to flee towards the camp in twos and threes. Kobuha shouted loudly with his saber in hand, but it seemed that the chaotic situation could not be restored.
At this moment, Guo Cheng, who was behind the bicycle in Song Junzhai, saw that the sudden cavalry had opened up the situation. When the time was right, he waved the command flag in his hand - five hundred warriors holding long-handled swords, shouting, straightened the sharp blades, and raised their swords. He jumped out of the car barrier and attacked the Walter car formation which was in a melee.
On the windy and snowy Gaofu, Zanji lay at Gawain's feet and asked the emperor's 1,500 brigade of attached cavalry to dispatch, together with the Imperial Imperial Guards, to rescue his left flank.
"Why panic!" Gawain scolded in a deep voice, and then he looked at all his formations. Snow particles mixed with the howling east wind were blowing on his face and wreaked havoc on all his formations. At this moment, the wind direction Unfortunately, after thinking for a while, he calmly issued a series of orders:
"The Paulists on the right wing of our army and the two large brigades are ordered to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's left wing regardless of casualties!
The spear formation of the three-wing brigade firmly defended the line and cooperated with the shooting army. They were not allowed to retreat in any way. Military discipline was immediately enforced on those who caused disturbances.
Philomelon and Yevanduni's brigade reserves are not moving, yes, they are not moving!
All attached cavalry are immobile!
The Royal Tomb Imperial Army is responsible for supporting the left wing, and the Omiya Imperial Army is responsible for commanding the right wing, blocking the enemy's offensive, and choosing the opportunity to launch a counterattack, trying to mobilize the enemy's two heavy armored infantry armies (Tiger Wing Left and Right Armies), and then obey my general offensive order! "
"But..." Zanji raised his head, understanding that the left wing could completely collapse in an instant.
Before he finished speaking, Gawain struck him hard in the face with a whip, "Remember young man, your father's cavalry and archery regiment is making a dangerous and critical roundabout attack. Everyone is not fighting for the survival of a certain army. It’s about winning the war.”
After saying that, the emperor told Zanji, "Go back and stick to your front. There is no need to continue to make noises here. From now on, your mission of delivering orders is over. If the battle goes against you, you will die on the job."
"Your Majesty," Zanji said, letting blood ooze from the whip marks on his face, and without looking back, he climbed onto his horse and ran back to his own side of the battlefield.
Then the emperor turned back with a stern and horrifying expression. Markiania's feet suddenly froze, "What are you still doing there? Send my instructions to the right wing."
"Yes, yes." Macianias stuttered a little, but did not dare to neglect.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Then Gawain gave an order to another inner palace guard, "Mobilize the entire battalion of left-behind personnel, including the wounded, to push out all the artillery, regardless of importance."
He then shouted to the third guard, "Go to the central front and tell the shooting army to enter the stage of 'combined shooting', and the spearmen should not worry about the enemy's shooting and bombardment, and defend their positions."
The so-called "combined shooting" order requires the shooting army soldiers to give up the volley shooting in formation, and since three or four people or more than ten people form a small wing, they disperse and freely fire at the enemies who break into the shooting range.
Unexpectedly, Gao Wen's order played a very critical role. The central front of the Song army, which was mainly composed of heavy infantry, was soon tied down by the random shooting of the Romans: if they advanced a little, the spearmen of the three-wing brigade would ignore the artillery fire and stick out their spears like a forest, blocking the front; and once the Tiger Wing Army tried to detour from left to right, they would be shot and bombarded from all directions, and had to return in defeat after many failures.
At this time, Tong Guan, who was always commanding the entire army under the green umbrella, was also always in control of this tragic and grand battle. At present, the battle on the right wing, which concentrated the elite cavalry, was the most successful, and almost achieved the goal of breaking through the enemy's front line; in the left wing Jingxi Army, the cavalry commander Xin Xingzong and the infantry commander Wang Bing also fought quite well, and the enemy's military advantage was blocked; and the most troublesome thing was the central front. The enemy relied on the coordination of "sealing the line" and "random shooting", which was actually equivalent to trapping the hands and feet of the Tiger Wing Army and the Control Crane Army.
How should Master Tong dispatch to break such a situation?
