From Chief to Ball

The sound of the infantry stepping forward and the ground trembled. It looked like a moving wall. The musketeers in the gap hadn't fired a single shot yet, but the bows and arrows from the opposite side couldn't hit them, not yet. Engagement distance.

However, after the light artillery was quickly deployed, the iron balls could be smashed into the Awayake coalition army formation at a distance of [-] steps. The black guard on the left wing moved forward slowly, and it seemed that they were preparing for a wave of shock.

In this situation, the 600 people are like abandoned children, not only counting on them to hold back the impact of Habayashi Guard, but also continue to shrink before they completely collapse, leaving a part of the troops to guard the rear.

It will take time to mobilize archers and soldiers from the center and redeploy the right wing.Now the archers and an additional [-] infantry are moving towards the right flank. Because they have not been impacted or shelled, the speed is not bad, and the formation is still fairly neat, but it still takes time, and they don't fly over directly.

woo woo woo...

A horn sounded, and Habayashi once again launched an impact. The archer who had a six-hundred-step stroke chose a long-distance projectile. However, the number of people was too small, and the power of the projectile could not be displayed at all.

The whizzing feather arrows flew high and landed on the grass in a mess, only wounding four horses. A sharpshooter might be able to pierce a hundred paces away, but most archers might not even be able to pierce a sheep.

The Habayashi guards were gradually accelerating, and the ground kept shaking. After the archers shot an arrow at fifty paces, they could no longer bear the shock of the cavalry's impact, and retreated towards the back of the spearmen.

Plains, dry, no mud, no deer villages, pieced together must learn the Xia army model, [-] spearmen who have not been trained against cavalry, and [-] shock cavalry with stirrups who have been training hard for a long time.

The result is obvious. This group of people did not survive the chaotic battle they expected, but was directly swept away by the wave.

The horses charging at full speed can knock away these soldiers who are not strictly trained just by relying on their chests. The infantry no longer care about any military orders. Even though they know that running backwards is easier to die, they still throw down their weapons and run around.

After the Habayashi guards dispersed the infantry, they continued to pursue, trying to rush through the right flank of the Awatake coalition directly from the side.However, the disintegration of these 600 people was not meaningless. The period of time when they were abandoned was shortened, and the flank defense line was deployed.

The infantry archers in the back line of defense shot with feathered arrows, and the more rigorous and larger number of infantry behind them gave them peace of mind, and somewhat suppressed their flustered emotions.

Even though Habayashi Guard's General Lang shouted and blew the horn to turn away from the battlefield, there were still more than 40 stunned Habayashi Guard cavalrymen who plunged into the second line of defense.

These cavalrymen were trained hard, and each of them cost several times the infantry's money and food. They were regarded as the elite and treasures of the entire Xia army.

Habayashi Eiro will grit his teeth, stop caring about the more than 40 colleagues who are in a daze, and lead the remaining 200 people around the battlefield, and flee back.

More than 600 infantry have been disintegrated, trampled and assassinated by cavalry, running around like headless chickens, and finally less than a hundred of them ran back to the army behind.

Including the three hundred light cavalry that had been scattered before, this was a considerable result, but it was only a partial victory and did not have enough impact on the entire battle situation. It also proved that these cavalry were not the decisive force for the Xia army. Unfortunately, Su Yue did not Not judged.

Those habayashi guards who were stunned held their spears, leaned on their horses, and lowered their heads very low to prevent being shot by feather arrows.They knew that they had no way to retreat, and turning around at this time would become the target of the archers, so they could only silently recite various results they wanted in their hearts.

More than 40 people were shot to death three, five horses were shot to death, Habayashi guard who landed drew his bronze sword and rushed into the enemy line with the cavalry in front.

This is a meaningless shock, but the effect is not meaningless.

The death attack of more than 30 people was squeezed among the dense infantry, only two people rushed out, and the rest were all trapped among the enemies, waving bronze swords for the final resistance.

The two people who rushed out were covered in blood, with several wounds on their legs, and a feather arrow stuck in their arms.

They looked back at those comrades who were still fighting, and the two looked at each other without looking back. They clamped the blood-soaked sticky spear and shouted: "Orphan Habayashi, attack!"

The two horses were already tired, or maybe they were scared. The owner had never stabbed himself with the iron spikes on his shoes, but this time he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, so he raised his hooves and moved towards the far away, standing Avalokites allied army. Rush to the place where the big banner is.

The two are orphans in the true sense, because they know who their father is. Back then, their parents came to Onozawa as escaped slaves, and led them to live in Onozawa who were destined to be slaves at birth.

From Jibai to Onozawa to teach them how to use herbs, to Jixia to Onozawa to teach them how to count and change candy, and then to riots, being a man, having a surname, and their parents following Jixia's expedition to Dongyi and dying in battle.They have experienced suffering, so they understand better what Xia Guo is, and also understand what is hatred and what is love. It is not just the honor repeated in the textbook, but also the love and hatred in the heart.

Wings for the country, the country in their eyes is not illusory, nor is it a country with a certain surname, but a country that is their own and worth their own lives.

Two men, two horses, two spears.

Just like this, he rushed towards the unreachable big banner, was shot by the feather arrow and landed halfway, bleeding out, and remained motionless.

Su Yue and the others looked at the two utterly dead people in the distance, and everyone on the side was terrified. The two people couldn't rush to their side, but this kind of momentum was never seen before.

No one wants to talk, these two people are still far away from the big banner, but it seems that a sharp sword has been inserted into the hearts of these people, and they are extremely depressed.

After a long time, Su Yue broke the dullness with a big laugh, and said with a smile: "If Xia's army is like this, then there is no need to fight this battle. Xia's elite army is on my right, and Jixia's defeat is set!"

Su Yue is very cautious, this is a deadly battle that will determine the outcome of both sides, and they are all feeling uneasy.The previous few battles Xia Jun fought were basically undefeated. Even if the number of field battles was superior in the first few times, even if the number of field battles was insufficient, they were discouraged or refused to defend like turtles or fled to attack places where the defenses were empty. At least overall, Xia Jun's combat power is still very intimidating.

Because Su Yue wanted to rely on the right wing to resist the impact of Chen Jian's main force, and then use those chariots to attack when the chaos was confirmed to be unable to support.

Now throwing the chariot to the right wing to attack the black guard Habayashi, the two sides must be in a chaotic battle, which is meaningless-just like these Habayashi guards who seem to have frightening results, the power to decide the victory in the chaotic battle cannot be defeated. Turning the tide of battle but only achieving a small victory is considered a failure.

In Su Yue's view, Xia Jun's main force was undoubtedly concentrated on the left wing, but the left wing's movements were too slow, and Xia Jun's dullness could be seen here at a glance.

If Xia Jun attacked from the left wing when Su Yue was hesitant before, Su Yue felt that the collapse of his right wing was inevitable, because at that time no one thought that Xia Jun's cavalry had such a strong impact.

But the dull Xia Jun's left wing did not seize the opportunity, but attacked slowly.

Even if Habayashi defeated 800 people, what's the point?Neither let his right wing completely collapse, nor did it cause shocks across the board, but gave himself enough time to push the archers and more infantry to the right wing, so that Xia Jun's vain tactics of attacking left and defending right became useless. meaningless.

Su Yue felt that this was nothing. If he took out his elite chariots and warriors, he could defeat the Xia army's pawns one by one, but if it couldn't cause the collapse of the whole line, what's the use of a partial victory?He can throw away a thousand people as sacrificial sons. As long as the front line is stable and the number is still dominant, what these thousand people get is the stability of the right wing and enough time to change. From this point of view, Habayashi has already lost.

"Now the main force of Xia's army is on the left wing, and the central and right armies are bound to be empty. Once the right army engages in battle, the left wing will not be able to defeat us in one fell swoop. When Xia's army is in a bitter battle, the chariots and warriors will attack. Ji Xia can only attack from the front. Defeated. He wanted to gather Habayashi and the two guards in black to defeat our right wing first, but now it seems that he can't break through!"

"Order! The left army charged, the right army defended the archers and refused to shoot, the Chinese army's chariots and warriors prepared to defeat Xia's army in one fell swoop!"

Chapter 137 The Final Battle ([-])

It is true that it would be foolish for a sharp steel awl not to try hard to pierce the iron sheet on the opposite side, but to rely on its own hardness to grind it away from the edge.

What Chen Jian wanted was not only to win this battle, but also to tell the world through this battle: infantry who have practiced for several years can become the main force of the army.

In other words: warriors, nobles, feudal knights, good archers, nobles in chariots, full-time warriors, slaves, private soldiers, household servants...all of these may appear, rule the battlefield with a few people, and decide the war with a few people There is no need for a system that treats the majority of people as pigs and dogs because of victory or defeat.

Before the advent of gunpowder, it could appear but it was difficult to maintain. There was a natural gap in strength between people, there was a gap in acquired training, eating meat or eating grass, and naturally there was a huge gap on the battlefield.

But no matter how strong a man is, he can't stop a direct shot of lead bullets.

The gunpowder blasted away not only castles, forts, earth fences, the armor of the Chinese calendar, and the gentle temperament, but also the economic foundation of all these, the violent foundation of all formal and formal feudal land ownership-there is no lip service. use.

As the Spring and Autumn Period moved towards the Warring States Period, it was the rise of the infantry that smashed the chariot officials. Whoever smashes the most hard will be the strongest, and whoever smashes first will be the first to become rich.

So the ethnic group in the previous life once again took a big step forward: land is privately owned and allowed to be bought and sold. At least in form, this is the request of the bourgeois revolution for the reform of the land system, but the productivity is insufficient. The bourgeois land system on the surface Eventually it became the feudal land system inside.

Precocious civilization is gratifying: before the realistic painting is fully understood, one goes to the pursuit of the highest state of artistic conception; Pursue poems to describe people's joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sustenance feelings—you must know that words first have physical fish and sheep, and then they have the freshness of inner feelings; Beauty that goes beyond the physical meaning and is related to, but not just delicious.

If a chariot, a knight, a group of samurai, and a Batulu can always defeat a hundred, then it is useless to say anything, because if you can't beat it, naturally there is no need for any system changes. The series of all ages.

Gunpowder, blast furnace iron, paper, printing, this is the real hectare of the aristocratic lineage, theocratic interpretation of ideology to imprison thought, and so on.

As for how to use it, that is a human problem, but without these as a basis, some best method cannot succeed.With it, it may be bad, it may be fighting, it may be darker for a while, but one day there will be light through continuous attempts.

Before the population exceeds the capacity of the arable land that can be reclaimed, first destroy the violent soil where the feudal aristocrats live, and guide them not to take scientific detours, and perhaps a little less blood will be shed in the future.

Because this is not just a battle of hegemony and unity, nor is it just a battle of sanctity of blood. If a battle is given more political missions, the protagonists of political missions will be needed as the main characters in the fight.

Therefore, when Xia Jun's left wing showed its strength, using Su Yue's knowledge of the art of war, he was convinced that the left wing was all the elite of Xia Jun, and forced Su Yue to mobilize more infantry and archers to strengthen his right wing, Chen Jian finally relieved.

Once transferred, it is not easy to come back.
