Chapter 341: The Long Road to the West (6)

When the Naimans heard the sound of the formation horns in the enemy formation, they were ready to take a break and they immediately prepared for the battle. However, after waiting for a long time, the other side became quiet again. The formation did not change at all. They just changed shifts with the people who were watching. Everyone thought that it was the first time that the two sides met, and of course the contact signals in the army were also very different. This was the sound of the meal, so we had a misunderstanding.

The Naiman figured out and got off the horse again and opened the stall to replenish his energy. This time, he had a few bites. The sound of roars and drums sounded again from the enemy. Everyone hurriedly threw down their food and climbed onto the horse when they heard something was wrong. This time, the Song army's formation showed no sign of attack. Instead, they began to unload the truck and build camps. It was like this that they were not ready to leave and they had to camp around the enemy.

"Attack, flatten the enemy's formation, and steal the Han people's property!" Although Sun Khan did not know that the Han people had the saying that "one moves, then declines, and then three times," he was always unhappy when he was fooled by others. He also knew that he had lost all his morale and ordered an attack.

Although the Naimans had reached the threshold of civilization with one foot, their tactics were still in the primitive stage. They still rely on large-scale cavalry impact tactics to break the formation, and then defeat the enemy by fighting with the enemy, and annihilated it when the enemy fled. This combat mode is naturally related to the region and method of their lives, but it is mainly subject to weapons and equipment, and it is also a last resort to tactics.

The Western Regions are located in the remote and desolate northwest, with a level of civilization far lower than that of the Central Plains and the Jurchens and Dangxiang people who absorbed the Central Plains culture, which led to their backward technology in making weapons. Since the cavalry is different from infantry, it is impossible to carry strong men with strong killing but heavy powers. The Nai Barbarians are backward in bow making technology, so they can only carry some small bows. The cavalry's cavalry's cavalry not only has a long range, but also has little lethality. It cannot effectively kill some heavy-armed infantry or even medium-protective capabilities.

Therefore, the cavalry of the nomadic peoples in the Western Regions were mainly equipped with bows and arrows. When the whistle cavalry was discovered by the enemy and needed to escape, they usually used bows and arrows to keep the enemy at a certain distance to facilitate escape. Or when dealing with infantry and other light cavalry, they should first give the enemy a certain amount of damage before approaching the close-fitting body, which would disrupt the enemy, so as to facilitate the hand-to-hand combat when sprinting to the enemy!

In addition, another serious disadvantage is that the cavalry's cavalry's cavalry's usually hit rate is not high. This is because it is indeed very difficult to balance the body, master the direction of the horse, and grasp the hit rate. Therefore, the training difficulty of training a cavalry with a high hit rate is no less than that of modern training for special forces. In addition to the problems of riding and shooting range and lethality mentioned above, many tribes and nomads are unwilling or feel that it is not worth spending so much time and energy on training qualified riding and shooting archers.

This change of situation will have to wait until the grandson of Hebule, the leader of the Mongolian tribe who was preparing for war with the Song army. The genius military strategist Temujin only underwent earth-shaking changes after the reform of bows and arrows and cavalry tactics, allowing him to sweep half of the world. Of course, the Naimans now have no chance to know, let alone use them in wars...

Facing the Naiman cavalry, the Song army did not roam the troops like the past, but turned to defense in full swing, and even the cavalry on both wings retreated into the formation. Gao Chong did this because the road to the Western Expedition was far away, so the cavalry, who was a cavalry, was not incorporated into the army, and although the dragon cavalry was against the hostile, it would not be inferior. It would inevitably cause great losses; second, the move that these nomadic cavalry were best at was to run away if they could not be beaten. Once this battle could not be severely damaged, they would let them run away. It would be difficult to find them again. Moreover, they were familiar with the terrain and turned into pieces. Hassing everywhere was also a very troublesome thing.

Considering that his side could not stay here for a long time and did not want to leave any future troubles, Gao Chong knew that he had to take advantage of the opportunity of concentrating most of his troops to fight with his side to give him a devastating blow and lay the foundation for his future operations. Therefore, Gao Chong decided to use the most commonly used tactic in the early stage of the Xiangyi Army - defensive counterattack, and relies on his own firearm to consume the enemy's strength in defense, and preserve his own strength, and then launch a counterattack after he suffered huge casualties and encircled and annihilated it.

"Fire the cannon!" The lookout on the car saw that the enemy had entered the range, and immediately reported the commander to the commander. Gao Chong ordered the interception with artillery fire.

"Speed-fire cannon, solid bullet, five hundred steps, shooting!"

"Speed-fire cannon, solid bullet, four hundred steps, shooting!"

"Moor cannon, flowering bullet, three hundred steps, shooting!"

"Speed-fire gun, shotgun, two hundred steps, shooting!"

The artillery fired four rounds of volleys one after another, and the Nai Barbarians' cavalry approached the front, but they were at the end of their strength. In fact, under the first round of artillery fire, the loud noise and firelight had already terrified the war horses who had never seen such a new thing. They wanted to escape quickly, but when they turned around and turned against each other, they immediately collided with their unstoppable kind behind them. They were more scared and had no idea, and they only knew that their companions who were running forward were carrying them to continue running forward even more crazily.

Another round of solid bomb shooting of the Song army smashed blood alleys among the enemy. Now even the horses were afraid of the power of artillery, but this time the horses under their seats could not stop and carried them forward. The flowering bullets in the third round exploded in the enemy group, and the people and horses were swept away in groups. At this moment, the people and horses had no courage to charge and began to flee in all directions. However, the subsequent round of shotguns blew like a hurricane, and few people in front survived. The Naiman who charged no longer had the courage to run the remaining distance, and turned their horses to circle and escape back to their original formation, but only two or three of them could go back, and most of them were left on the battlefield.

"Big Han, the Han people can use magic tricks, you can break it!" Subier, who was watching the battle, was frightened by the blood in front of him. More than 2,000 cavalry involved in the first round of attacks lost all the losses in the loud noise before they touched the side of the Song army formation. This is not magic tricks.

Subir said this with evidence. The Naimans are located in the junction of Chinese and Western cultures, and they will inevitably come into contact with Western religions. Now the Christian Nie Stuary has been widely spread in Naiman, but shamanism still occupies a major position among Naiman. According to legend, the Naiman kings are proficient in shamanism and can rule mortals and elves at the same time. They have the magical power of "making gods and witches and sacrifices to the wind and snow". Therefore, the people of the tribe are very respectful of them and think that their leader has great magical powers. Since their great khan is not a mortal, they are also gods and immortals. Now that the other party wins with demonic magic, they can only have a showdown between gods and immortals first!

Whether it is the so-called gods and magic, it is a scam to achieve a certain purpose. The loss of Bianjing City has long proved how unreliable the magic is. However, the sun sweat is now forced to the corner. His army was stunned by the "spells" of the Han people and dared not come forward. Even the war horses under his crotch were trembling in fear. Seeing that there was a danger of collapse, the rule of the rule made him use magic to stabilize the morale of the army, improve the morale of the lower class, and fight again. Fortunately, the "divine magic" was passed down from generation to generation within the Naiman king's family. Only his family knows what's going on and how the effect is. Anyway, it doesn't hinder people from the outside world believe that their great khan is a god.

So a magical scene appeared on the battlefield. The Naiman army arranged an altar and slaughtered livestock on the spot as sacrifices. A group of people were lying there saying that no one could understand or danced a dance that no one could understand. However, the blazing flames, coupled with the dispersed smoke of gunpowder and the dead bodies everywhere on the battlefield, created a strange atmosphere, which made people involuntarily fall into it. Especially for the devout believers, they quickly resonated in the ceremony and were brainwashed again without realizing it!

Of course, the one who felt the deepest about this was the Song soldiers who fought against it, because they met a group of thousands of madmen again, no, the attack of thousands of madmen. They were not afraid of life and death, nor guns and cannons, and turned a blind eye to their companions who were blown up and were like hornets. They ignored the shrill screams and cry for help from the fallen comrades, and without blinking their eyes, they stepped past them against the fierce artillery fire and rain of bullets. They were all dealing with the war horses that refused to move forward, and stabbed them hard on the butt, which really made life and death beyond the limit.

"Wei Feng, your second battalion immediately fills the gap in the defense line of the Second Brigade, and sets up the defense line with the machine gun position. An enemy will be put in and cuts your head!" Now, not only are the frontal battlefields subjected to fierce attacks, but a large number of enemy troops appeared on both wings and behind the Song army's formation. The Desert Brigade, responsible for defending the left wing, is also facing great pressure. The first Brigade commander Han Li had to use the reserve team.

"Constitution, our first brigade has always been a charge, so why did we send us too!" Wei Feng asked in confusion. The first brigade was a reserve team of the desert army and had always been kept for tough battles, but today it was just the enemy's second attack and sent them on.

"What's the point? I can't see that the Naimans have been injected with chicken blood and charge like crazy. Can you organize such an attack for the second time? I didn't see that the dragon cavalry had all dismounted. As long as I resisted the enemy's charge, the Naimans would collapse. You should also be prepared to counterattack while defending!" Han Li kicked Wei Feng, and he also saw that the Naimans' attack seemed fierce, but this reckless attack could not break through the firepower net they woven with firearms, and would only cause great casualties. When they realized that the casualties were unbearable, fanaticism turned into horror, and the collapse would inevitably occur, so as long as they persist, victory belonged to them...
