One of the squads, in violation of the officer's order, led his men and ran forward.
"Boys! Come with me! We will die together!"
"If the gold thieves break through the line of defense, we will definitely lose! Block these gold thieves!"
"Come back and line up!"
The commander behind was furious.
Such a loose team has no chance to resist against the cavalry.
But here comes the problem. The right wing that has not been assembled has a fatal gap. After the reinforcements are broken through, will the right wing have a chance to resist in the face of the terrifying Iron Buddha?
The so-called soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and this is the key.
The head of the charge who defied the military order may or may not have known, but he still rushed over with his team.
Seeing this, the teams behind followed immediately, and more and more people rushed forward.
The right wing no longer defended, let alone assembled, they quickly advanced towards the Iron Buddha.
Although the formation was not tight enough, everyone regarded death as home, intending to block the impact of Tiefutu.
As we all know, although the real heavy cavalry has powerful impact, its mobility is extremely poor, especially the Iron Buddha Tu, which is heavier than the hard army, and the hard army can also detour twice powerfully.
Tiefutu was like a wave, rushing over, and rushed the opponent away with brute force.
If they can't rush, the cavalry team will quickly squeeze together. After the horse loses the space to stretch, all the cavalry will stay in place stupidly, unable to even get off their horses.
At that time, the enemy only needed to surround them and knock down the cavalry of the Golden Army who were unable to move flexibly on horseback one by one.
Or use strong crossbows. Although strong crossbows cannot penetrate the armor of the Iron Buddha, if there are enough of them, they can form a powerful impact and rush the cavalry down from above.
In short, once the heavy cavalry stopped, it was equivalent to chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered.
In fact, the Yue family army in history used horse legs and heavy infantry to quickly compress the impact space of the Iron Buddha, causing this ace cavalry to be defeated on a large scale.
It's just that it's easy to read, it's easier to talk and laugh, it's easier to smack your head, it's easier to open the door, it's easier to get home.
However, it is difficult to accomplish a small thing in life, let alone such a big thing.
At this time, Han Chang's eyes were red and his blood was boiling.
The golden army is as majestic as a mountain, with the posture of gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas.
More Song troops were plowed away abruptly.
The Iron Buddha at the back took advantage of the trend and quickly strengthened the impact.
In this short period of time, the battlefield on the right wing has changed rapidly.
But it was such a difficult situation, the Shenwu infantry on the right wing not only did not retreat one by one, they pushed forward like a wave.
They saw the comrades in front of them fall, but they still did not retreat.
As a soldier, it is our duty to hold the front line.
It seems that Tie Futu has a tendency to take control of the battlefield as soon as he comes up.
But in fact, the situation of the battle is changing rapidly.
It was precisely because of the desperate blocking of the infantry that the overall impact speed of the Iron Buddha slowed down.
Just at this time, another Song army cavalry in armor entered the battlefield, which was the Beiwei cavalry brought by Yue Yun.
In fact, the Jinren's scouts had already spotted Yue Yun's cavalry, and they were going to report it to Han Chang.
It's just that at that time, Han Changchang's reinforcements of the Song Army's infantry had arrived and were gathering. He couldn't let the Song Army's infantry be assembled, otherwise he would pay a greater price.
His tactical judgment was not wrong.
In other words, he chose another plan, discovered the arrival of the back-wei cavalry, and fought head-on with the back-wei cavalry, but he may not be able to win.
Because once the infantry armor cooperates with the heavy cavalry, it can quickly advance up after the charge of the Iron Buddha is stopped by the back-wei cavalry, causing fatal damage to the Iron Buddha.
In short, Han Chang was too confident in Tie Futu, and wanted to seize the opportunity to completely tear apart the right wing of the Song army in one go, but unexpectedly, Yue Yun had already prepared a countermeasure.
Or in other words, most of the generals are in Han Chang's position, and once the opponent's flank has a fatal weakness, they will not hesitate.
But the real key lies in the combat effectiveness displayed by both sides at this fatal time.
As soon as Yue Yun's cavalry came up, they rushed towards the Iron Buddha at full speed.
Han Chang didn't expect that the heavy cavalry of the Song Army would attack suddenly at this time, and the killing move was so fierce, they first locked the surrounding area, and then sent vanguards to charge directly.
The two sides collided, and they were turned on their backs.
After the impact of Iron Buddha Tu encountered a stronger resistance, he was quickly forced to stop, and the distance between the front and rear horses shortened rapidly.
The Iron Buddha cavalry immediately lost the space to stretch, and the force of the charge was interrupted.
At this time, the infantrymen of the Song Army who surrounded them began to fight back.
This combination of cavalry and cavalry tactics made Tie Futu, who was alone, the turtle in the urn.
PS: Thank you for the question raised by the readers. The main reason is why the artillery was not left to deal with the Iron Buddha. I believe some readers have this question in their hearts.
Let me answer again: the mobility of the Iron Buddha is not high, but the mobility of the artillery is even worse.
The span of the battlefield is extremely large, and the artillery cannot be pre-arranged when it is not known which place the Kidnapper Horse and the Iron Buddha will attack.
After knowing it, it is difficult for the artillery to reach the battlefield quickly. When it arrives at the battlefield, the opponent's cavalry may have rushed over before it was fired.
In addition, it was not the appearance of gunpowder that the cavalry really withdrew from the battlefield. During the Napoleonic Wars, there were already many types of artillery, and the musket platooning tactics were mature, but the cavalry was still a very strong unit.
I also saw that some readers said that with gunpowder, it is easy to destroy the iron stupa. I think this is a high probability of being a prophet. They think that they can throw gunpowder at any time and place at any time, or that the iron stupa is very cooperative. They only know that you have gunpowder. You fry.
In addition, there are still readers wondering, why should people carry it?
why?
Do you want to ask Marshal Yue in history, why did you use people to carry it?
Because the Song Dynasty did not have artificial intelligence robots to participate in combat!
He said he respected the Yue family's army, but why did he ask the Yue family's army to tear up the iron pagoda and fry the iron pagoda with buns when it came to war?
Chapter 1446 The Scrapped Iron Stupa (Part [-])
Han Chang looked around, furious in his heart.
The current situation is the most critical time. Although the infantry of the Song army is reinforcing, they are only holding on. As long as he is given a little more time, even if it is a little time, he will be able to break through the infantry defense line of the Song army.
As long as the Song Army's infantry line of defense is broken, with the current state of the Song Army's right wing, it will be the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.
At this critical juncture, Han Chang looked to the west, where there was still the kidnapped horse who had been fighting with the Song Army cavalry before.
Moreover, there are not a few kidnapped horses on the right wing. The total strength of the kidnapped horses on the right wing is at least [-], and they are spread across this area for several miles.
This is Han Chang's first-hand preparation for himself in extreme situations.
How does the kidnapping horse help the current plight of the Iron Buddha?
Yes, and it works great!
The biggest advantage of heavy cavalry like the Iron Buddha Tu is the collective charge. Once the impact is formed, it is extremely terrifying.
But if there is no way to break through, the distance between the cavalry will quickly narrow, and the entire charge will slow down.
Once the space is compressed, the cavalry on horseback is a living target.
As a medium-sized cavalry, the Kidnapper Horse has extremely high mobility, and can assist the Iron Buddha to quickly clean up the surrounding enemies, tearing a hole for the Iron Buddha.
In the chaotic battlefield, there were screams and shouts of killing everywhere. Han Chang gasped for breath, and he vaguely saw the kidnappers and horses approaching here.
Han Chang, who originally wanted to dismount and fight, hesitated for a while and did not dismount.
But Han Chang seemed to have overlooked one point in such an urgent situation. Since there were enough kidnapped horses, had the kidnapped horses discovered Yue Yun's whereabouts in advance and had already sniped in advance?
Now that the premise was sniped, why did Yue Yun rush to the main battlefield so quickly?
The reason is very simple, because the two thousand heavy cavalry led by Yue Yun are too strong, and the sturdy kidnappers may be penetrated without even a single round against them.
In other words, the surrounding medium-sized cavalry of the Song Army also joined the battlefield, making it impossible for the kidnapper horse to turn around quickly with all its strength, and it was beyond its reach to support Tiefutu.
After a while, the space of Tiefutu became smaller and smaller, and more and more Song Army infantry rushed in front, forming row after row of new defensive depths.
Han Chang knew that if he didn't dismount and fight at this time, he would die here.
He was the first to dismount, swung the blunt weapon in his hand, and smashed it on the head of a Song Army cavalry horse in front. The horse wailed and fell to the ground.
The space is squeezed, and it goes both ways. The Tiefutu has no room to stretch, and neither does the Beiwei Army.
Since they could no longer use the cavalry charge, the Beiwei army also began to dismount and fight on foot.
Regarding the matter of cavalry dismounting and fighting on foot, it is extremely difficult for ordinary cavalry, but it is not difficult for back-wei cavalry and Iron Buddha.
Moreover, cavalry can dismount and fight on foot, which is definitely a ruthless killer in the battlefield.
For example, there is a record in history: Xi Nilie and Yicibu, Autunsawu, Cui Yin, and Pugensakhu came out with five thousand soldiers along the trench, and the rest of the soldiers fought on horseback. Go ahead knight, go.Therefore, before riding the horse, charge with a long spear, and after riding a horse, shoot with a strong bow.Liang Fu's soldiers were slightly defeated, Xi Nilie took advantage of the victory, withdrew his horses, and broke his seven formations.
It means that the Jin people found that there were rejecting horses around the Song army's phalanx, so all the cavalry dismounted. After driving away the Song army's cavalry, they took away the rejecting horses, and finally defeated the Song army.
Of course, the situation was different at this time. Tie Futu could dismount and fight on foot, and so could the Beiwei army.
Moreover, there are still a large number of infantrymen in front of them, so Han Chang can't take advantage of dismounting and fighting on foot.
For a few miles, the scene once fell into a melee.
The war horses are in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by soldiers in heavy armor, all of them are holding blunt weapons, such as hammers, axes, maces, iron bones, spears and so on.
The sound of iron objects colliding with each other can be heard everywhere.
The most tragic war is to use the most brutal and simple method.
The Kidnapper Horse and the Song Army Cavalry could no longer intervene.
The eyes of both sides turned red.
With the advantage of the number of Song troops, Tiefutu soldiers suffered significantly more casualties, and more and more infantry came out from the right wing.
At this time, the forward infantry of the Jin army, led by Xiao Lishu, advanced to the center of the battlefield. They passed the corpses of the dead soldiers and advanced towards the forward infantry of the Song army.
"Report! Meng'an! Han Dutong's cavalry is blocked five miles southeast and needs reinforcements!"
When Xiao Lishu heard the words, he immediately led the people towards the southeast, and the speed was obviously accelerated.
According to the military regulations of the Kingdom of Jin, if a superior officer dies in battle, his head will be beheaded.
Xiao Lishu almost ran wildly. According to the plan, he originally attacked the Song Army infantry from the front, but now he couldn't care less.
But Xiao Lishu started too late after all. When he approached the battlefield, most of Tiefutu had been killed and injured, and his combat power was almost completely suppressed by the infantry armor.
It can be said that the trump card of the Golden Army along the way was scrapped by Yue Yun.
But Yue Yun, who killed people like blood, didn't have time to look back at the glory here, and he didn't continue to stay where he was, but got on a horse and began to charge through the crowd with all his strength.
As soon as he got on the horse, a large amount of blood rolled down from the scarred iron armor, and his personal followers, holding the general's banner, followed him closely, and blew the horn of the cavalry to gather again.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also began to get on their horses.
At this time, do you care which horse is your own?
Let's ride it first!
The cold wind blows in front of us, and the wind smells of iron and blood.
Yue Yun looked around, he determined the direction, and then began to charge at full speed.
There is the direction of the enemy's main force.
Exploding the Iron Buddha, the war is not over, and the Jinren may counterattack at any time!
He wants a war to completely end the Bazhou battlefield.
The cavalry behind were a little scattered at first, but quickly gathered together while running, like countless streams coming together to form a rushing river.
The frenzy of charging once again formed on the battlefield, and the sound of iron hooves shaking the ground returned again.
This time it was Song Jun!
Although they no longer had the original two thousand soldiers, these people who had just been killed from hell were burning with fighting spirit.
They roared, holding weapons still stained with blood and bones.
Xiao Lishu, who had just rushed over, soon saw cavalry charging towards him hundreds of meters away.
His expression changed abruptly, and he immediately ordered the infantry to stop moving forward and form formation quickly.
