Although Gao Dashang also knew a little about the Liao Chinese language, because of the distance, the Liukou led by Gao Dashang only saw the conversation between the two leaders of the Liao army, a man and a woman, and did not hear what they said clearly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, all of a sudden, I saw more than 20 cavalry Liao troops rushing over, and I also felt surprised, after all, there are many people on my side now, and my own men and horses are nearly ten times that of the other party, and the other party dares to launch an attack on them so arrogantly, which is also greatly unexpected to them, according to Gao Dashang's idea, such a small team of Liao troops will not dare to take the initiative to attack him. Although Gao Dashang hated the Liao army in his heart, his main purpose today was to take Xianglian's master and servant back, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so Gao Dashang's ideal idea was not to take the initiative to attack the Liao army until the necessary moment.

Although Gao Dashang had also heard that the Liao army was strong in the past, there had been no battle between them in the past, so Gao Dashang instinctively underestimated each other by virtue of his large number of people. However, what made Gao Dashang even more unexpected was the way of attack of these Liao troops.

Generally speaking, the side with a small number of people takes the initiative to attack, and the side with a large number of people must come out of the nest, attack with all their might, and strike desperately. There were more than 30 Liao troops in total, but only 20 people began to attack. The remaining dozen or so female soldiers watched and did not join the battle together.

In fact, this tactic of the Liao army was created by the commander Han Jiangxue, and according to Han Jiangxue's meaning, the strength of the army's combat capability is not determined by the number of troops.

Han Jiangxue believes that there are not many soldiers, but fine, especially if the well-trained army is reasonably commanded, it can achieve the effect of one enemy against three, or even with one enemy with ten.

Han Jiangxue believes that a large number of rabble such armies sometimes not only fail to improve the army's comprehensive combat capability, but may even be a burden on other armies. There are two reasons: once an army such as the first rabble fails, it will be defeated like a mountain, which will affect the morale of other armies and even affect the combat effectiveness of other armies; Second, the large number of garbage armies will inevitably increase the logistical supply burden, and as a result, the logistics supply of other elite armies will be insufficient.

According to Hanjiangxue's combat ideas at that time, if his side was a well-trained elite soldier, he could attack even if he was at a disadvantage in numbers, because his side was not afraid of dead elite soldiers, so that even if he was outnumbered, he would not panic, and he could fight according to the deployment. If the opponent wants to defeat him, he has to take his time step by step, so that the opponent has to pay a heavy price for every one of them killed.

A simple example, just like today's situation, if you have 30 people on your side and 300 people on your side. Although it is generally estimated that most of the 30-man army is not the opponent of the opponent's 300-man army, of course, the actual situation may not be so simple.

Therefore, according to all the three situations of "win, defeat and draw", the results of the draw are almost the same, which means that the two sides retreat regardless of victory or defeat, so the analysis is of little significance.

In the other two cases, the first outcome is if thirty people can win, which is of course the best. In this way, thirty people attack together, or twenty people attack in front of the palace, and ten people in the rear, the difference is not big, but the actual possibility is very small.

The second is that thirty people are defeated, which is a high possibility, and at this time, it reflects the tactical advantage of this kind of Han Jiangxue, which is attacked by twenty people and ten people. If 30 people flee together, facing the opponent's 300 people chasing after them, then the opponent's morale is high, and the morale of the fleeing side is low, the worst result may be that none of the 30 people can escape, and the loss of injury to the other party is very small.

The second tactic is to fight desperately, that is, thirty people rush to each other together, and the result may be annihilated, but the loss to the other side must be greater than fleeing, and the military often has an offensive is the best defensive statement.

The third tactic is the current Liao army tactic, that is, twenty people attack, and ten people wait and see. The biggest advantage of this tactic is that it is flexible, if the 20 men can defeat the opponent by trying to attack, then the remaining 10 people will also join the pursuit of the opponent. Similarly, if you attack twenty people and are defeated by the other party, at this time, the queen of the palace observes that the ten people retreat first, because there are twenty people who attack in front of you as a death squad, and the success of the escape of the ten people behind the palace will be greatly improved, which means that the whole army will not be destroyed.

Han Jiangxue's tactics are actually a narrow encounter with the brave to win, of course, it is not a blind attack, and the remaining ten people belong to the mobile force.

Although Gao Dashang belongs to the more ambitious leader, his military talent is far inferior to the level of the general of the Liao army, and of course he is not as good as the commander of the Liao army.

Gao Dashang saw more than 20 cavalry Liao troops rushing up, he instinctively thought that the Liao army rushed up to fight, so he asked his subordinates to allocate weapons and wait for the battle, but unfortunately he miscalculated. After these Liao troops rushed closer, they suddenly fired a flurry of crossbow arrows. It turned out that the Liao army's iron cavalry was so good that they could charge and fire crossbow arrows at the same time.

Gao Dashang and his subordinates were caught off guard, and six or seven people were immediately injured by arrows. Gao Dashang saw it and hurriedly asked his subordinates to fire crossbow arrows to fight back, but the first-mover advantage was occupied by the Liao army, and some of Gao Dashang's subordinates were shot by the opponent's crossbow arrows before they had time to shoot their bows and arrows.

However, fortunately, Gao Dashang's men had an absolute advantage in numbers, so even if dozens of people were injured in front, the people behind could still use crossbow arrows to fight back.

So the two sides of the crossbow arrows fired each other, for the Liao army they were riding on the back of the charging horse with crossbow arrows to shoot these relatively static rogues, because the Liao army was good at equestrianism, so the shooting effect while charging was very good. Gao Dashang's subordinates were shooting fast-moving Liao troops under their own relative stillness. Therefore, they also fired at each other, but the casualties on both sides were very different, Gao Dashang's subordinates had fifty or sixty casualties, while the Liao army only suffered four or five wounded. At this time, the morale of Gao Dashang's subordinates dropped greatly, and the morale of the army began to waver.

When the Liao army approached, the two sides began to fight with knives and guns, originally Gao Dashang thought that his archery skills were not as good as the Liao army, but now they fought in close combat, and their side could take advantage of more people.

Who knew that he was surprised that these Liao soldiers scimitars were more terrible than crossbow arrows, a famous Liao soldier quickly approached, raised the scimitar to quickly kill and injure his subordinates, although there were many of his subordinates, but because the combat effectiveness of a single person was far inferior to the other party, in the opponent's rapid attack on horseback, his subordinates often did not have time to organize a joint attack, and someone had already been killed, that is, they were quickly broken by the other party.

Gao Dashang and his subordinates fought harder and more frightened, and at this time, ten female Liao soldiers who were still watching the battle also joined the battle, and they first used crossbow arrows to plot against Gao Dashang's subordinates on the periphery. This made those rogues shoot to death unsuspectingly, and also made those who remained feel that the killing opportunities came from all directions, so that he could not be guarded, and suddenly these rogues began to panic, and they had no fighting spirit, ready to flee at any time. Gao Dashang also felt that if this continued, his subordinates would be completely defeated by these Liao troops.

Gao Dashang was in a panic, and he decided to capture the thief and capture the king first, so he hurriedly organized his own right-hand man fifty or sixty people to make a desperate attempt to rush at the Liao woman in a mink coat.
