Chapter 69 leaning on the river (continued)(2/2)
On one side, Hu Hongxiu was silent. Even though the whole army was shocked by the momentum of the Dangxiang colliding, no senior officer made objections.
This is because anyone with some military experience, especially those with military experience in the Western Army, understand that the so-called army like the Crazy Lang, whether it is Han or Dangxiang, is essentially cannon fodder and consumables. Generally speaking, there are only three functions. One is to bet that this wave of charge can shake the formation and force the other party to dispatch it to form flaws; the other is to actively find the flaws of the other party's military formation through such large-scale contact; and there is no need to say much about the last one, everyone knows that it is to consume arrows and damage the sword.
No matter how sharp the knife is, it can't be cut off a few times when the bones of the master are. The arrows are penetrated into the flesh, so don't think about using them again.
In the face of this kind of offensive by this army, the first thing to do is to stabilize the formation rather than be dispatched by them. Once they remain stable and persist, these people will suddenly disintegrate due to casualties.
However, I don’t know if it was because of the later ruler of Xixia, or because there were too many, this wave of collision seemed to be particularly resistant to fighting.
Although the staggered Song army array formed concave formations everywhere and relied on military discipline, armor, equipment, and formations that caused a lot of damage, these Dangxiang people still further hit the crossbow formation.
Fortunately, even the crossbowmen on the periphery were wearing armor, which did not cause too many casualties in the crossbow formation. However, there was no doubt that this greatly reduced the killing efficiency of the Song army, and seriously hindered the speed of the Song army's armor in the rear, and directly affected the forward movement of the military formation.
When this shape is in sight, I don’t know if I feel that I have seen a glimmer of possibility. In my view, there are already a small number of Xixia soldiers who are not capable of breaking into the military formation under the cover of these men.
"Let the sword and shield wear armor and then leave the gun array to attack." Yue Fei looked at the densely packed group of Dangxiang cannon fodder soldiers and finally frowned. "But you are not allowed to go out to pursue! You are only allowed to clean up the surroundings of crossbowmen to prevent the Xixia people from entering the formation! The big flag follows me, no matter how slow you go, you must move forward step by step."
After the military order was passed, some of the sword and shield soldiers who had already corresponded to the current situation immediately attacked... These soldiers with armor and sharp blades faced these Xixia infantrymen who had no armor and spears in a dense formation, which was simply a massacre.
It can be imagined that as more and more armored swords and shields attack, the attack of the men and the men will eventually collapse, and the speed of the Song army will recover quickly, but before this, the bloody massacre will not stop... In fact, even the Dangxiang clan's collision men and the men and women will be red in their eyes and lose their minds... While the swords and shields attack, there were a small group of Dangxiang infantry everywhere seized the gap in the formation, successfully crossed the defense line, and poured into the military formation, but they were also greeted with dense Song army armored cavalry, foreign cavalry, cavalry and cavalry bows.
When they flocked in, their hope of survival was about zero, but they still flocked in.
However, in the melee, anything can happen, especially when the base is large, miracles will inevitably come.
Probably for several days, the Arctic Knights were ordered to shrink into the formation, and they couldn't help but feel excited. Therefore, facing a rush of Dangxiang's collision with the son, the Arctic Knights actually made a short Dangxiang man wearing a felt hat magically cross the line of defense.
The man was covered with blood from half of his body, and he kept waving his spear, and rushed towards the four-character flag that was moving continuously. He also opened his teeth and claws, shouting strangely, as if he was crazy.
However, considering this person's equipment and figure, it is more funny than horrible.
There was no need for Yue Fei to say anything, and even Yue Fei didn't even look at this person, nor did Qu Duan and Hu Hongxiu say anything. One of them was ready to take several riders to meet him, ready to cut off the person with one shot.
Then a miracle appeared again. The cavalryman, who had excellent martial arts and had a long battle formation, was about to come to the front and was about to stab him with one shot. He instinctively stopped, and then let the short Dangxiang man escape from his gun and continue to rush under Yue Fei's flag.
He was about to wake up and catch up immediately, but Qu Duan was already angry, and actually pulled down his cover and rode the iron elephant in person... Let's talk about it, the iron elephant is well-known in the world. Although Qu Duan had been in the military for twenty years, although even Wu Jie could not defeat him, he could not resist his figure strong enough. So at this time, he was arrogant, with a heavy armored spear, an iron-faced divine beast, majestic, and faced with a short Dangxiang who was facing him, like a ghost and god facing an ant... In fact, the man came towards him and was completely panicked when he saw this, but finally recovered his mind, and then turned his head and fled in a hurry.
But how could there be a chance?
He was going to shoot the man in front of him and easily stab the man to death, then dismount and cut off his head, throw down his broken felt hat and bow to the iron elephant, saying that he was guilty.
However, Qu Duan looked at the head and was stunned for a moment, but did not pursue the mistakes of this subordinate. Instead, he turned his horse's head without saying a word and returned to the central army's flag that was still moving slowly.
"Why not correct military discipline?"
Yue Fei frowned and spoke. "Even if you have a warning, you should have it."
"It's understandable." Qu Duan put down the cover, and it was rare to be solemn. "It's a woman with a Dangxiang, an old woman, all her hair is white..."
Yue Fei was finally stunned, then he pulled his horse for a moment and took a serious look at the white-haired head. At the same time, the flag behind him who was loyal to the country was finally stopped.
This is the first time that the Song army commander's big cage has stopped since I saw the white-haired cage today.
However, after a moment, the flag continued to go north.
Not only that, as the Song army stabilized its formation, the entire line of infantry was killed and injured everywhere. After leaving behind thousands of corpses, tens of thousands of Dangxiang Crazy Men still suddenly dispersed as all the soldiers knew about it.
The outside Dangxiang Fanqin could only barely cover half of the people in front of him, and the rest were too lazy to stop them.
Of course, the Song army, who were observing military discipline, did not chase them out. Under the supervision of their respective marching commanders, they immediately adjusted their formation, restored their previous marching formation, and continued to move northward.
"Uncle Emperor." Seeing that the Song army did not chase after him, but continued to move forward. After the collapsed strolls all over the mountains, Li Qianshun obviously couldn't hold back, so he changed his name on the spot. "Have you ever seen the Song army's flaws? You must let them stop!"
"There is one thing that I don't know if it's considered a flaw, but it must be the weakest part of the Song army!" Wei Ming Anhui held the reins of the horse and turned his head to face each other. "I put it away and hit the man, and I will press it all up this time. I personally lead the team to that place."
"I will lend the white cow banana to Shangfu!" Li Ganshun did not hesitate at all when he heard this. "Today's business, I'll ask Shangfu!"
The white-haired Wei Ming Anhui nodded and without saying a word, he personally pulled forward. The officers and tribal leaders of the armored cavalry who could hear clearly were followed, and dozens of golden-armored warriors also guarded the white cow and followed.
Looking at the King of Liang who was leaving, Li Ganshun, who was standing in the green seedlings, gradually felt hot... At the same time, the Song army also saw that the Xixia army was re-adjusted, but it was not surprising, because yesterday, the Jinshi and the military officials conveyed to every soldier for the officers. Everyone knew that the Xixia people would definitely try their best to stop them, but now they just smashed them out and hit the emperor.
