Chapter 842 Wang Xingtai's Battle of the Teutoburg Forest

Watching so many movies and documentaries in later generations is not for nothing. Although the weapons and equipment are far inferior to the modern army, in terms of system, Wang Hou’s army has infinitely approached the modern army. The troops must emphasize records, and a staff officer system has also been introduced.

Even if the officers in the cavalry of the landlords were recruited, the staff officers also graduated from the Chang'an Military Academy and received systematic military training, including the secrets of the military family of this era, camping, marching, supply skills, and a lot of other things. Wang Hou can think of useful and unintelligible cold knowledge after watching documentary movies.

One of them is that in the movie about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest that later generations watched, before the Roman legion encountered an ambush by the Germans, a large number of birds were frightened and flew out of the forest by the nervous Germans. Deceived by Si's clever words, Varus, the commander of the six Roman legions, didn't care. In the end, more than [-] elite Roman legionary infantry plunged into the encirclement, and the Germanian coalition forces that were violently wiped out in Germany. In the secluded forest.

One day I remembered, with a swipe of Wang Hou's pen, the dogma of Chang'an Military Academy contained a complete method of animal observation and how to deal with it!
If the generals are not enough, then use the system to make up for it!
Hearing Gao Tong's rapid roar, after exchanging a few words with him, Hu Tiehua dismounted immediately, and thirty light cavalry rushed towards the rear army, ordering all the troops to stop advancing, and huddled together on the spot, forming a defensive formation. At the same time, a hundred cavalry took off their heavy cavalry armor, held swords and cavalry hand crossbows, and explored the woods where the birds had just flown out.

1 people formed a marching formation of more than three miles, and the cavalry was ordered to run to the firearms formation of the light infantry of the Chinese army in three to four minutes. However, Wang Hou, who was full of anxiety, completely forgot the order he had personally issued. Seeing that the marching troops had formed into defensive regiments of 4 brigades one after another, blocked in the middle of the road, he was annoyed and shouted orders.

"Who told you to stop advancing? The military situation is like fire, continue marching south!"

"My lord, large swathes of birds flew up in the former army forest for no reason, according to the marching code, it is necessary."

"It's strange to startle some birds when the army is marching and the men and horses are shouting."

He rudely interrupted the report of his subordinates, but before Wang Hou's furious and anxious shouts were over, in the dense forest, the bows and arrows were shot down overwhelmingly, and the bows and arrows were still on fire, one by one like Flying fire meteors landed on Tielin of the Wei Army during the march like a crackling meteor, leaving a black spot on the plate armor of the heavy infantry with a thud, and fell heavily, but those pierced into the chain armor of the light infantry were Immediately there was a strong smell of burnt meat, and the sergeant who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground and howled in pain.

The shooting position was less than 100 meters in front of the gunpowder army formation where he was, and Wang Hou broke out in a cold sweat instantly. What a Zhuge Liang, he was too scheming. He came here, so he didn't run to save Chengdu at all, but set up an ambush on the way his army must pass.

Fortunately, he is still a traverser, the Shu army used this trick to ambush Cao Cao's troops who came out of Yangping Pass to attack the Shu army's rear army in the last battle of Hanzhong, he forgot!In history, Sima Yiyin was loyal to Cao Wei. He refused to listen to his military order, and even impeached his general Zhang He to Wei Mingdi Cao Rui. In Hanzhong, Zhang Yun's army was wiped out, and he himself died. Wang Hou forgot about this bloody battle!

A little later, and his whole army walked into the encirclement, with so many gunpowder barrels around him, being shot by rockets like this, wouldn't it kill him?Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, and Wang Hou raised his head, shouting orders in a hissing voice.

"All ministries resist on the spot and move closer! The rear army gave up the bullock carts, brought cannons and gunpowder hand crossbows to Lao Tzu, and formed a defensive formation on the spot!!!"

"drink!"

With a loud promise, the thirty Guanzhong knights who sent the order to the back pulled their horses and turned around again, but they rushed back to the front lineup that was attacked by rockets. Suddenly, more than a dozen big fireballs were burning hot. Running towards the darkened mountain path covered by mountains in the afternoon, two or three cavalrymen were hit by the fireball, and the oil from the fireball splashed on their bodies, and they were burned to death Like that, screaming and flailing around.

This scene made Wang Hou break out in cold sweat on his forehead. This is the one who specially dealt with his gunpowder barrels, jumped off the bullock cart, and dragged Sun Shangxiang Wang Congge to run up the mountain anxiously with his sword in hand. He was still extremely panicked at the same time. roared.

"Uphill! Uphill!!!"

This battle can be called the most tragic battle since Wang Hou started his army. The fireball wrapped in straw and oil was pushed down and hit the marching Wei army formation fiercely. The flames broke through the army formation. , the soldiers of the Wei Army who were stained with fire oil screamed and rolled all over the ground, screaming, and the voice was shrill like a ghost.

Immediately on both sides of the narrow Shu road, on several slightly gentle mountains, countless Shu troops rushed down like hungry wolves descending the mountain, and fought with the infantry of the Liangzhou Corps, which was already a little chaotic. There are too many troops!On weekdays, it is enough to baptize them with double bows and crossbows for several rounds, but this time, only one round came out, and the light infantry had to draw their swords to fight, and the heavy infantry in front only had time to split the heavy and slender axes If you cut it down, you have to discard your long weapon, draw your knife and fall into hand-to-hand combat.

In the ping-pong-pong impact of ordnance, tens of thousands of people fought into a group among the narrow mountain roads.

This is the opportunity for the Shu army to dream of a fair confrontation. The Wei army is better equipped with excellent fighting training, and the Shu army has more individuals!Two light infantrymen stood back to back, wielding their sharp long swords, like the sharp blades in soybean milk, waving and spinning back and forth, and rushed to the front of them, one after another, the Shu soldiers who only wore leather armor or cloth clothes Knocked down to the ground, blood splattered.

But not far from them, a heavy infantry soldier of the Wei army who had lost his ax, gun and sword just roared and smashed the engineer shovel on his back into the head of a Shu army, but immediately behind him was another Wudang flying Jun strangled his neck and threw his heavily armored body to the ground in his angry roar.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight Shu soldiers surrounded them like hungry wolves, and their sharp knives stabbed the heavy infantry who fell to the ground, and the blood of the Wei army also flowed out amidst screams.

The marching formation of the Wei army started from the first half of the front, and the road suddenly rose. The right side was no longer a mountain, but a rugged and steep river valley. , the head of the ring slashed at the heads of the huddled Shu army, and in the sound of popping, the heads of the Shu army who lacked helmets were chopped open like watermelons.

But even the Shu army who died in battle couldn't fall down, because here, the Shu army deployed too many people, six times more than the Wei army, and the people were so crowded that they didn't even fight anymore, just caring about howling and roaring Crowded in front of the statue, amidst the screams of despair, the light infantry of the Wei army at the back screamed and fell down the canyon first, and then row after row of Wei soldiers were squeezed down the mountain alive, and the screams echoed throughout the valley.

The former army, the Liangzhou iron cavalry, dismounted to escape the first round of arrow rain. This time, Zhonglang General Hu Tiehua ordered the iron cavalry to remount their horses again, and rushed southward, brandishing sabers along the way. , the Shu army who rushed down from the mountain on the left was chopped off by them, their heads rolled down, and their corpses were scattered all over the field.

In the cavalry, there were screams of being pushed off the cliff from time to time, but the armored cavalry of the brigade rushed out of the encirclement, but before Hu Tiehua waited, Gao Tong and the two breathed a sigh of relief. The densely packed Shu army lined up impressively, and a large banner with Zhuge characters fluttered again, which suddenly caught the eyes of the two of them.

It was getting dark gradually, but the screams of fighting in the canyon became louder and louder!
