back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 951
He forced him to be strong, and the breeze was blowing on the hills.

Even though the Khitan people's horseshoes sounded like thunder, and their shouts and shouts shook the sky, the Forbidden Army only focused on shouting "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!", pressing forward to the beat of the drums.

There is nothing surprising about the tactics of the imperial army.

The iron-plated carriage acts as a mobile repelling horse in the front, followed by a row of sabers and shields, specially drilled into the gap of the carriage, and chopped off the enemy's horse's legs.As for the crossbowmen and musketeers, they are arranged in the back one by one, forming three columns.In addition, there are spearmen guarding around.

The cavalry is placed on the two wings, and the artillery array is in the middle.In order to prevent sneak attacks, a chain of carriages was also arranged.

"Hey, the Khitan people are very good at learning!"

Seeing that the arrows thrown by the Khitan people into the sky were actually tinged with fire, Zhong Zhong immediately understood.These are arrows that have been greased. Once ignited, they will not go out even in the air.Such arrows do not have much direct lethality, but they can cause riots in the army.

"They also learned how to attack with fire!"

This is the common aspiration of the soldiers of the imperial army, but for this sake, who dares to back down?Even if you want to, there will be someone behind you who will push you forward, and you will not be able to retreat at all.

The Khitans charged forward with explosive bullets, and their fearless vigor made the imperial army feel a little bit queasy.

But war is like this, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.Once you are timid and shrink back, not to mention 100%, 90.00% will be defeated.

However, the role of the artillery was obvious. The bombardment of hundreds of cannons sent shrapnel flying all over the sky, harvesting the lives of the Khitan people one by one.In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a thousand Khitan cavalry had died under the artillery.

After finally breaking through the artillery blockade, the gunshots rang out again.

The dense gunfire, as if it never stopped, ruthlessly took the lives of one Khitan cavalryman after another.

Staying a little closer, the god arm crossbow of the imperial army also showed its power.The thrown crossbow arrows easily penetrated the leather armor of the Khitan cavalry under the acceleration of gravity.Only a few cavalrymen in iron armor were not so seriously injured.

It's a pity that the gap between the cavalry's charge is too large. Even if they attack without interruption, many fish will slip through the net.

After a while, the Khitan cavalry, who were lucky enough to survive, began to fight back.

Grease-stained rockets were continuously thrown into the battle formation of the imperial army.There were even a few upright Khitan cavalrymen who actually crashed into the chain of carriages.

Needless to say, the horse must have been injured.The man rolled on the ground and drew out his saber by the way.

With this level of bravery, he even made a point of diagnosis: "The physique of the Khitan people is indeed stronger than that of the Han people. But their strength is limited. Apart from poor riding skills, the Imperial Army will not lose to them!"

There are not a few Khitans like this.

Although they all rushed in, they were cut down to the ground.

But with the continuous impact, the chain of carriages has already loosened. Even if an additional layer of heavy armored swords and shields is added, it cannot withstand the impact of hundreds of catties!

"This... so reckless, only these barbarians can do it!" Some generals looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they called the Khitan people "barbarians", their expressions were astonished, and they admired them in their hearts.

Yang Huaiyu couldn't hold back for a long time, and shouted: "What are the Khitan people? Look at my Yang family's gun, and knock them down one by one!"

Seeing that he was eager to try, Wang Shao quickly grabbed him: "You want to disobey the military order?"

Their mission is to guard the two wings, lest the Khitans come to harass them.Hearing this, Yang Huaiyu was a little discouraged: "The Khitan people obviously put all their heavy troops in front, so what kind of wings do they need to guard?"

"Be careful, there is no big mistake!" Wang Shao said calmly, "Khitan people must have successors!"

Yang Huaiyu dismissed it, but could only hold back his temper, waiting for the front army to fight.

Casualties on both sides increased alternately.The fire attack of the Khitan people has achieved certain results.But it's a pity that it can't make the imperial army mess up.

During the exercise of the imperial army, what scene did you not see?Fire attack, water attack, almost even firearms were used.You treat yourself so cruelly, why are you afraid that the enemy will be cruel?

The doctor frowned, watching the stalemate battle.What worries him is not the battle situation in front of him, but a large dark cloud slowly drifting over the clear sky just now.

The weather in the grassland is unpredictable. There are too many examples of sunny days one moment and squalls and torrential rains the next moment.The doctor is the commander-in-chief of the first army, and he has to consider the problem from the overall situation.Although the imperial army could retreat back into the camp, but in this way, the time spent on weakening the Khitan people's morale before became useless.The Khitan people's morale has been greatly improved, and Yelu Hongji's personal conquest, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.

The Forbidden Army is fighting across borders, and the logistics supply line is long.The Liao army replenished its soldiers and horses anytime and anywhere.The imperial army died one by one, and if they were not victorious in this battle, the difficulty would be doubled if they wanted to make a comeback in the future.

"Fight to the death!"

The doctor suddenly shouted, "Pass down the commander-in-chief's military order, fight to the death!"

What kind of elite is an army that cannot fight tough battles?
Since the Forbidden Army is an elite force, they must be mentally prepared to fight the toughest battles, to sacrifice the entire army, and more importantly, to fight to the death without retreating!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy drums sounded, the morale of the imperial army was boosted, and the Khitans were also suppressed.

But the good times didn't last long, and after just a while, the wind blew up on the grassland.

Immediately afterwards, the bean-sized raindrops fell, and the imperial guard shrank suddenly: "It's raining!"

This was the worst result. At the moment of the decisive battle, it was raining.

Sure enough, the Khitan people who patted their horses on the charge shouted louder, and their joy was beyond words.

A tragic atmosphere spread in the imperial army.

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!!!"

As the officers set an example and took the lead in counterattacking, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army gritted their teeth, clenched their weapons, and shouted "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" The arrow shot out, knocking out the buckshot.

Stormy, this time it was really stormy.The pouring rain turned the cannon into a pile of scrap iron.Many Hongxiang rifles can no longer be ignited.

But even so, the word retreat was not in the eyes of every Forbidden Army soldier.After brainwashing, they have already understood the concept of the country, and they also have the lofty ambition to die for the country, and they have no worries about the future!
Since it is a decisive battle, how can we not fight to the death?

Even if the Hongxiang rifle failed to ignite, the musketeers still silently followed the three-step attack, and quietly loaded the bayonet when they stepped back to reload.

Even if the mother-child cannon misfired, the artillerymen all drew out the simple knives at their waists, and there was no excitement in their expressions, only the determination to guard the mother-child cannon as if it were death.

What is even more touching is the military officers. They have no rhetoric, but only take the lead and be willing to be a small soldier.

How can such an army be easily defeated?
