Chapter five hundred and sixty second ambush attack
"There's an ambush!" Wu Yue soldiers shouted, panicking and forming a mess.
Puff puff puff!
Arrows continued to shoot down, and there was no defense on the riverbank to block the line of sight. There was no way to avoid it, and it was easy to be shot.
After each archer shot three arrows, hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground, with blood flowing.
The Wu and Yue soldiers behind began to turn around and retreat towards the other side of the river.
As for the Wu Yue soldiers south of Danshui, some archers also began to fight back, trying to suppress the archers here.
"Wu Yue soldiers want to escape, use cavalry to attack them and rush them down the river."
Su Chen gave the order.
"Here!" The herald immediately issued the military order. After receiving the order, Ma Chengcheng immediately charged out with his cavalry.
"Kill!"
The cavalry attacked, taking advantage of the speed and impact of the horses to rush over from a high position.
Some Wuyue soldiers were trampled to the ground mercilessly, making a dull sound of impact and fractures, and the desperate screams of the soldiers, which boiled and filled the river beach.
When the Wuyue soldiers saw the cavalry rushing over, they all gasped and felt very troublesome!
Because war horses come from the north, the cavalry is powerful and invincible. However, the south has many boats and naval forces and few horses, so there are not many cavalry.
Some of the cavalry horses in the Southern Tang Dynasty came from the Northern Song Dynasty, and some were horses purchased by the Khitan through foreign trade in the Western Regions.
Therefore, the cavalry of the Tang Army had horses of different heights and varieties, which could not compare with the elite cavalry of the north.
For example, the Khitan cavalry of the Liao army will have heavy armored cavalry, which is to install some armor on the horses. This armor has the ability to withstand a certain attack. Through the speed and momentum generated by the charge, it can create a suppressive breakthrough on the enemy's position. Its main purpose is
It is a super cavalry that destroys the enemy's formation and destroys the enemy's morale.
This type of human tank - in the era of cold weapons, a stable formation is the basis for ensuring victory, and high morale is the key to victory. Once the enemy's psychological balance and organizational foundation are destroyed, it is equivalent to victory.
Although the cavalry of the Southern Tang Dynasty was inferior to that of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, when fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, two thousand cavalry suddenly appeared to attack, which still had a certain degree of lethality.
Rumble!
"Kill all these Wu Yue soldiers!"
The Tang army was angry because many people and defenders in Changzhou had been massacred, and now they wanted revenge!
Blood debt must be paid with blood!
The cavalry of the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked fiercely. Two thousand cavalry formed a fan shape and swarmed up, squeezing the living space of Wu Yue soldiers.
"Lancers, in the first two rows!"
Pan Dong, the capital of Wu and Yue, commanded hundreds of spearmen to form a defensive line with red tassel spears to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
This requires the determination and courage to die with the enemy in order to use the body and spear to block the attack of the iron cavalry.
"Kill--" Ma Chengcheng waved his horse's spear and clamped the horse's belly fiercely. The horse neighed and rushed out of the formation like lightning.
Other cavalry officers followed closely, and they rushed out like a tidal wave.
"Horses trample thousands of troops!" Ma Chengcheng shouted loudly to boost morale.
The cavalry charged forward without hesitation. Looking from the hillside, it looked like a huge wave crashing on the rocks, freezing for a moment and then disintegrating.
At the confrontation, people were seen turning on their backs, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere. Many Wu and Yue soldiers were knocked down by the inertia of the galloping horses before they could draw their weapons, and turned into a pile of flesh under the horses' hooves.
Bang bang bang!
There was a tragic sound of bones and flesh being broken and torn apart, screams and howls mixed together, making people's hair stand on end.
Of course, the dense forest of spears from some Wu and Yue soldiers also had some effect. The spears shone with dazzling coldness and pointed upwards at a 35-degree angle, blocking the horses from moving forward and directly stabbing the horses down.
Upon seeing this, the Tang Army knight on horseback let out a roar, straightened up, swung the sharp long-handled saber in his hand, and slashed downwards, killing the Wu Yue soldiers below.
"Puff puff puff puff!"
"Kacha kacha——"
These sounds are heard endlessly. They are the sound of the spear penetrating into the flesh and blood of Ma Fu's body and the sound of being broken by the huge force.
The knights of the Tang Army on horseback were screaming, and the Wuyue spearmen who were blocking the ground were also screaming.
In an instant, the scene was chaotic, people were turned upside down, and it was very tragic.
Su Chen was still a little shocked when he saw such a bloody scene again. These were human lives. In his time, in a society governed by the rule of law, it was difficult to imagine such a scene of two sides fighting.
Of course, wars are everywhere, and there are no quiet times. But there are people who carry the burden for you. The battle to guard the borders and the battle against terrorism and anti-drugs have never stopped.
Su Chen took a deep breath and his face turned pale. After all, this was not the first time for him. Although he couldn't be insensitive, he would not vomit after seeing the bloody scene, or dare not face it face to face.
"Infantry is coming too!"
As soon as the flag was waved, Duyu Hou Dingyi led a thousand soldiers to fight out from the forest and merge into the battlefield on the river beach.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Weapons clashed, clanking, and the fighting was fierce.
………
Across the river.
One of them turned his head to Bao Zhi and reported: "General, do you want to continue to increase the number of troops? The soldiers on the opposite side cannot resist it anymore."
Bao Zhi looked at the complete defeat and had no intention of fighting. He only looked at the soldiers who were escaping into the water. He shook his head and said: "In this situation, our army's reinforcements are no different from dying. We don't have the advantage of the right time and place, and even our morale has collapsed. How can we fight?"
Think about it. It is obvious that the Tang army set up an ambush and has made many preparations.
After a long time, we came prepared. Without knowing how many men and horses the opponent still had in the forest, we people rushed forward and fought head-on. It was not just an egg hitting a stone. We ordered the archers to suppress the opponent's bow and arrow strategy so that more soldiers could be sent.
Escape back, the remaining people had better be prepared to greet and retreat!"
"As you command!"
They all went down to deliver the order, Jin Luo withdrew his troops, and at the same time let three thousand archers shoot at the other side to suppress the cold arrows.
………
"Wu Yue's vanguard army is about to retreat, the gong has been sounded!" Peng Jingjing stood beside Su Chen, clenched her fist several times, and wanted to rush forward, but Su Chen had no use to speak, and she could not act without authorization.
Su Chen nodded slightly and said: "This pioneer general of Wu and Yue is not stupid. He knows how to advance and retreat. Without understanding our strength, he did not use his advantage and encountered an ambush, so he retreated to preserve his strength. He did the right thing!"
Peng Jingjing was eager to give it a try. She looked at Su Chen and asked, "This opportunity to make meritorious deeds is relatively rare."
Su Chen smiled, understanding what Peng Jingjing was thinking, coughed dryly, and said: "Guard Peng, quickly lead the three hundred personal guards, go into battle to kill the enemy, and serve the country!"
"Got the order!" Peng Jingjing was overjoyed when she heard this, and shouted to the three hundred personal guards: "Leave thirty people to guard the Su Supervisor Army, and the rest of the guards will follow me to kill the Wuyue enemy soldiers!
