30,000 people charged 800,000 head-on, like eggs rushing up and slamming into a stone many times larger than themselves.

"Hit a stone with an egg, kill yourself!"

The Chinese language of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu is not standard, so after he said this, Xiao Pidi even guessed before he understood the meaning of his words.

Xiao Pidi sighed: "Few people can have this courage. And Chong Shiheng's move is of great significance. ”

"Courage?"

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu sneered and said, "Ben Khan didn't see any courage, only stupidity. ”

Xiao Pidi felt that it was a bit silly to discuss the issue of courage with the Black Khan Wang Yusufu.

Because the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty could not see courage in them, they were accustomed to bullying more and less with less, and they were also accustomed to wolves devouring tigers.

"Chong Shiheng is a person who knows the soldiers, and he knows very well that 30,000 soldiers and horses can't stop us at all. Therefore, the 30,000 soldiers and horses that are rushing towards us now are most likely outcasts.

There is a good chance that he is going to retire, or has already withdrawn. ”

Xiao Pidi pondered for a moment and said his own reasoning.

Black Khan King Yu Sufu sneered: "Ben Khan led 700,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the border, and the number of troops was more than ten times that of him, of course he had to retreat." However, whether he can retreat smoothly still has to ask Ben Khan whether he agrees. ”

"You can't stop it!"

Xiao Pidi said with a slight sigh.

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu's face turned cold, "Are you in Xiaoxunben Khan?" ”

Xiao Pidi shook his head, "Don't dare!" ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu snorted coldly, "Ben Khan will let you see how Ben Khan caught Chong Shiheng, who you Liao people can't help but do." ”

Speaking of which.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu ordered his close ministers around him, "The whole army will attack, press on Ben Khan, and capture Chong Shiheng alive." ”

The close ministers beside the Black Khan King Yu Sufu agreed and went down to give the order.

It's just that this time the military order is a little more difficult to convey than before.

Because the soldiers can understand the orders given by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, but the horses can't.

Horses are the main combat power of the Black Khan soldiers.

Sitting on horseback, the Black Khan soldiers can be regarded as a complete soldier, and without the horse, they can only be regarded as half a soldier.

The horses were uneasily raising the sand under their feet with their hooves amid the roar of artillery fire.

After receiving the order of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, the Black Khan soldiers stepped on their horses one after another.

But the horses did not rush out in a swarm as before, like a raging torrent rushing towards the enemy.

The horses either stood still, or frequently retreated, or raised their front hooves to knock the Black Khan soldiers on horseback to the ground, and some dragged the Black Khan soldiers to run blindly in the crowd.

According to the military order of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, only a small number of the Black Khan soldiers rushed out.

The horses under their crotches are supposed to be outliers among horses, and they are not very afraid of the roar of artillery.

Seeing this, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu frowned, and his face was very ugly.

As soon as he boasted about Haikou in front of Xiao Pi's enemy, his soldiers and horses showed such an unbearable side, which made him feel disgraced.

Xiao Pidi looked at the somewhat chaotic black sweat soldier and sighed slightly in his heart.

There are quite a few Black Khan soldiers, but the quality is a bit unsatisfactory.

It is simply impossible to expect the Black Khan soldiers to tear a hole in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State to follow behind to pick up the cheap.

In the face of the tough battle of the Song people, they still have to fight with the Liao people.

I only hope that Qingtang Zanpu Jiaoluo will not be so cowardly, and he can jump out and give Da Song a fatal blow at a critical time.

In this way, the pressure on their Liao people will be less.

on the battlefield.

Although the Black Khan soldiers who rushed out were only a few, they were also more than 10,000.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, without rules and regulations, like bandits and rogues, brandished the scimitars in their hands, and rushed towards the Zhenxi Army and the Xizhou Uighur Captive Army.

There are horses taking the lead, and there are quite a few of them.

The rest of the horses settled down a little, and then, at the urging of the Black Khan, they rushed out obediently.

They were still afraid of the roar of artillery.

But nature prompted them to follow the head horse, to run together, to run in the same direction.

When all the horses were running in the same direction, the face of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu looked a lot better.

The look on Xiao Pidi's face was very complicated.

As a general who is accustomed to the art of war, he looks at the combat methods of the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, and there are only four words, that is, it is miserable.

There is no discipline, and there is no order.

There was no layout, and no troops were sent.

Such soldiers and horses, no matter how they were thrown on any battlefield in the East, would be crushed and beaten.

Even the weakest Goryeo soldiers and horses recognized by the Liao people could press them down.

But all the defects in the face of quantity become less conspicuous.

They are undisciplined and undisciplined, but there are many of them.

It's so frustrating.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses charged together, like waves, like waves, like locusts crossing the border, surging.

They had enough strength to overwhelm everything they saw in front of them, so they were not afraid of any intrigues, and they did not need any formation.

They just need to charge, charge again, charge with all their might, and charge as fast as they can.

The enemies that stand in their way, if not if not hacked to death, will be crushed by the hooves of their horses.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses charged together, forming a general momentum that was enough to destroy all enemies.

Some timid enemies, seeing the momentum of their charge, may even despair.

It is obviously a group of soldiers and horses like bandits, but it has condensed the general trend that is difficult for regular soldiers and horses to condense.

Xiao is hard to understand.

That's why the look becomes extraordinarily complicated.

But he did not worship the Black Khan's way of fighting at all.

In his eyes, such a combat method can be evaluated in four words.

Extravagant, stupid.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses charged together, and they were able to condense the general momentum of destroying the enemy's mind, but the shortcomings were also obvious.

First, the use of cannons to fight mosquitoes is certainly huge.

But killing a mosquito with one shot is not too extravagant and wasteful?

Since artillery is a sharp weapon of war, it should be used rationally, and it should be taken out at a critical time to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Instead of casually encountering any enemy, they are treated with artillery.

Second, the cavalry of the Black Khan soldiers can naturally be hopeless and disadvantageous on the grassland.

But as soon as you encounter natural moats such as passes, mountains, and rivers, you can only be discouraged.

Often a heavy pass, a mountain, and a river can make you unable to cross it for a lifetime.

Third, ninety percent of the troops are wasted, and in the process of charging, it is easy to injure one's own people.

Cavalry is not like foot soldiers, and once the momentum of the charge is launched, it is difficult to stop if the momentum does not decrease.

The greater the number of cavalry, the harder it is to stop the momentum of the charge.

Some of the cavalry caught in the middle of the army had some accidents during the charge, and only one died.

Fourth, the mobility is too poor.

The cavalry was mainly flexible, but the cavalry of the Black Khan Dynasty gave up the advantage of flexibility.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses charged together, reining in their horses and turning around, which was very difficult.

Often, when a charge is launched, it must be rushed down, and once it stops, it is very likely that it will be rushed by the cavalry rushing up from behind, and trampled into flesh.

The reason why Xiao Pidi saw the problem of the Black Khan Dynasty's cavalry at a glance was because the tactics used by the Black Khan Dynasty's cavalry were left over from their ancestors.

It was because they knew the disadvantages of a large number of cavalry charging head-on and suffered a big loss, so the Liao people began to learn the Han art of war before the implementation of Sinicization.

The reason why the Liao people gave particularly high treatment to those military generals who surrendered from the Great Song Dynasty was because the Liao people were still martial arts and had suffered losses in front of the Han family's art of war, so they used extremely high treatment to invite people to go back to teach them.

Xiao Pidi suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for the Central Plains people to call them barbarians.

Because he now thinks that the people of the Black Khan Dynasty are also barbarians.

Xiao can see the advantages and disadvantages of the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, and the same can be seen by Shiheng.

In fact, before the war started, Chong Shiheng could lead the soldiers and horses to withdraw from Shazhou, retreat to Guazhou, and use the mountains and rivers to resist the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.

But he didn't.

He chose to stay, and chose to see for himself how the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty fought.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to gamble the lives of 2,000 Zhenxi troops and the lives of 30,000 Uighur captives in Xizhou.

Now, he sees it.

He saw the magnificent spectacle of hundreds of thousands of cavalry charging.

Also saw the advantages and disadvantages of hundreds of thousands of cavalry charges.

"Barbarians are barbarians, hundreds of years, and they haven't grown at all."

Chong Shiheng commented very pertinently on the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.

Then, when the Black Khan soldiers, who were overwhelming like locusts, and the soldiers and horses he sent were packed together, he decisively ordered, "Drive out the Uighur captives of Western Prefecture who have been assigned grenades." ”

"......"

"Minfu and auxiliary soldiers, help the artillery withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible and rush to Guazhou."

"......"

"When the musketeers withdrew from the battlefield, the musketeers fired three salvos, and after the shooting, they immediately withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to Guazhou."

"......"

"The sword and shield soldiers followed, the cavalry pressed the formation, and after all the soldiers and horses withdrew from the battlefield, they set fire to the forest!"

“……”

Chong Shiheng's orders were conveyed one by one, and the Zhenxi army moved.

Shazhou is a horse and a flat river, and fighting the cavalry of the Black Khan Dynasty in Shazhou is definitely the stupidest choice.

Therefore, after testing the depth of the Black Khan Dynasty's soldiers and horses, Chong Shiheng decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army.

There was no hesitation in between.

Although Chong Shiheng has a powerful firearm in his hand, he has no choice to face the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.

The difference in the number of people is more than ten times larger, but it is not only that firearms can make up for it.

After the downsizing, the combat effectiveness of the Zhenxi Army has increased exponentially, and with the help of firearms, the combat effectiveness has become even stronger.

In the face of 100,000 or even 200,000 enemies, the Zhenxi army dared to fight.

But in the face of an enemy of 800,000, the Zhenxi army must retreat.

That's 800,000 wolves that grew up eating meat, not 800,000 sheep.

Even if it is 800,000 sheep, rushing towards the Zhenxi army, it will also cause heavy damage to the Zhenxi army.

on the battlefield.

The second group of Uighur captives from Western Prefecture was driven out.

The momentum of the charge of the Black Khan cavalry had already formed, and the second group of Xizhou Uighur captives, in the face of the surging charge of the Black Khan cavalry, could not raise the slightest fighting spirit, let alone dare to step forward.

In the end, it was the musketeers of the Zhenxi army who killed a group of people with muskets, forcing the Uighur captives of Xizhou to roar in despair and rush towards the Black Khan cavalry.

The artillery quickly withdrew from the battlefield after the second group of Western Uighur captives rushed into the battlefield.

The general cannon and the sky-shaking cannon were thrown on a four-horse cart, and after being tied up, they ran away in a hurry.

After the artillery withdrew from the battlefield.

Musketeers took over the position.

Tens of thousands of musketeers, lined up in three rows, shot round by round.

One person, one shot, run away after fighting, not greedy for war, and not in love with war.

The swordsmen and shields and cavalry withdrew from the battlefield after the musketeers had withdrawn.

A fire ensued, setting fire to all the surrounding woods.

The trees that had been watered with fire oil caught on at one point, and when the wind blew, they joined together to form a huge wall of fire.

"Bang ......"

Dense explosions resounded across the battlefield after the wall of fire was formed.

The Uighur captives of Western China were forced into battle, and they were filled with despair in the face of the raging Black Khan soldiers.

As soldiers of a country in the Western Regions, as warriors grown on horseback, they understand better than anyone what it means for hundreds of thousands of cavalry to charge.

There is no room for survival, and there is no room for surrender.

Because once hundreds of thousands of cavalry launched the momentum of the charge, they could not restrain themselves.

They can't accept it, and they can't spare anyone from dying.

The only thing they could do was clamp tightly on the horse's back to keep them from falling.

The Uighur captives in Xizhou were forced to become dead soldiers sent out by the Great Song Dynasty precisely because they knew that it was impossible to survive.

One by one, they pulled grenades, roared hoarsely, and rushed towards the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.

"Stop the charge!"

The Black Khan King Yusufu decisively ordered at the moment when the wall of fire rose.

The number of Zhenxi troops sent by the Great Song Dynasty to send them to death was limited, and the captives of the Uighurs in Xizhou were also limited.

So even if they have endless means, even if they fight the Black Khan soldiers like dead soldiers, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu is indifferent.

As long as you kill all the enemies, all the means of the enemy can be easily solved.

But that wall of fire, that forest of fire is different.

When the wind and fire were at their strongest, how many soldiers and horses rushed in, and they had to be buried in it.

Although the horn sounded on behalf of the Black Khan's military order, the Black Khan cavalry gradually restrained the pace of the charge.

But the cavalry's momentum needs to be buffered for a certain distance to stop.

Therefore, the Black Khan cavalry, who first rushed to the edge of the fire wall, was still forced to be surrounded into the fire forest.

The screams have not ended since the war began.

After the Black Khan cavalry was forced to charge into the fire, the screams became louder.

"In this battle, there are heavy losses!"

After the Black Khan cavalry stopped the momentum of the charge, Xiao Pidi couldn't help but speak.

The Zhenxi Army and the Xizhou Uighur Captive Army, which were the first to rush towards the Black Khan Dynasty's soldiers and horses, did not actually cause much damage to the Black Khan Dynasty's soldiers and horses.

At most, two for one, or three for one.

However, the subsequent Uighur captives in Western Prefecture inflicted heavy losses on the Black Khan's soldiers and horses.

The Uighur captives in Western China did not kill many Black Khan soldiers.

However, it wounded a large number of Black Khan soldiers and horses.

On the battlefield, soldiers and horses who are slightly more seriously injured are no different from dead.

And the Black Khan soldiers who were forced to pour into the fire forest were at least 10,000.

The soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty had never encountered such a war.

To be precise, I have never seen an egg hit a stone, nor have I ever seen an egg smash a stone into a scar.

In their minds, once their cavalry had collectively charged, no enemy would be able to stop them.

But today, the enemy not only stopped them, but also dealt them a heavy blow.

When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard Xiao Pidi's words, he said with a gloomy face: "You should understand that the most important thing that this Khan lacks is soldiers and horses. Under Ben Khan's tent, all men can get on their horses and serve as soldiers.

The Song people could serve as soldiers from the Western Uighurs, as could the Ben Khan.

Therefore, this little loss is nothing to Ben Khan. ”

Xiao Pidi didn't understand, the black sweat king Yu Sufu's face was about to drip blood because he was obviously distressed, why did he have a hard mouth.

Xiao Pidi thought for a moment and said, "King Black Khan, you should probably understand the Song people's art of war. There is a courtier in the tent who is familiar with the Song people's art of war, and if you need it, the foreign minister can lend him to you first. ”

"Not necessarily! I, the Iron Khan Horseman, are enough to destroy any strong enemy that stands in the way of Ben Khan. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu stubbornly said.

Xiao Pidi sighed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "The Black Khan King is right, but the foreign minister has lost his word." ”

The Black Khan King Yusufu pointed to the still burning woods in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "When the flames in the forest are extinguished, Ben Khan will enter the Great Song Dynasty." When the time comes, Ben Khan will slaughter the Great Song Dynasty and avenge the warriors of my Black Khan. ”

Xiao Pidi frowned and admonished: "King Black Khan, according to the covenant between you and my Majesty, Black Khan and I Da Liao should march into the Great Song Dynasty again in the spring of next year."

Now that you are bent on going your own way, I am on His Majesty's side, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.

It's also hard to get caught between you. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu glanced at Xiao Pidi, "Then you have to urge your Liao monarch to send troops as soon as possible." If he is late in sending his troops, and Ben Khan incorporates the Great Song into the territory of my Black Khan, if he comes again, then he will have to become an enemy of Ben Khan. ”

Xiao Pidi's brows furrowed, and he reminded: "Song Guo is far more difficult to deal with than you think. You'd better be cautious. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu snorted coldly: "The one who fought against Ben Khan just now was the elite soldiers of the Song Kingdom? ”

Xiao Pidi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's the elite soldiers of the Song Kingdom!" ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu sneered: "The elite soldiers of the Song State have seen the soldiers and horses of Ben Khan, and they are still about to escape, do you think there is anything else in the Song State that can stop the soldiers and horses of Ben Khan." ”

Xiao Pidi said in a deep voice: "Just now, it was just an elite soldier of the Song Kingdom. With such elite soldiers, there are still many in the Song Kingdom. ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu asked rhetorically, "Is there a million?" ”

Xiao Pi was a little speechless, "There used to be ......"

Black Khan King Yu Sufu said disdainfully: "That means that there is no more now?" ”

Xiao Pidi said solemnly: "The number of soldiers and horses in the Song Kingdom has decreased, but the combat effectiveness has become stronger. ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu sneered: "Is it the Song State that has become stronger, or is it your Liao State that has become weaker?" Ben Khan, though he lives far away in the West, has also heard of your wars in the East.

In the past, when the Song State had millions of soldiers and horses, it was almost pressed and beaten by your Liao State, and bowed down to your Liao State.

But now that the soldiers and horses of the Song State have decreased, they are pressing your Liao State to fight, forcing your Liao State to bow down and be subordinate.

You always feel like the enemy is getting stronger.

Always blame the enemy for the blame.

You didn't look for the reason in yourself.

See if you've become weaker? ”

Xiao Pidi suddenly didn't know what to say.

Perhaps, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu is right.

The reason why Da Liao lost to the Song State was not only because the Song State became stronger, but also because part of the reason why Da Liao's soldiers and horses became weaker.

Xiao Pidi recalled in his mind the life of the Khitan nobles in Shangjing.

I thought back to the Khitan aristocracy's admiration for the literati and writers of the Song Kingdom.

It seems that the Khitan nobles have become a bit like those nobles before the Song Kingdom.

The warriors of the people are still fighting for dominance on horseback.

But those nobles in the capital seem to have begun to compare with poetry and songs, compared with the Song people raised in the house, and compared with the horses and eagles fighting crickets.

Those aristocrats have lost their fighting spirit in a drunken life.

Da Liao should have weakened under their influence.

For a while, Xiao Pidi's gaze at the Black Khan King Yu Sufu became a little different.

Prior to this, his assessment of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was simple.

Reckless, reckless, stupid, arrogant, arrogant.

But now Xiao Pidi feels that he needs to get acquainted with the Black Khan King Yusufu again.

But the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, since he is a wise man, why would he behave so badly on the battlefield?

Xiao Pi was a little puzzled.

He suspected that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu might be hiding his clumsiness.

But if Koji had been here, he would not have been so suspicious.

Kou Ji will definitely not hesitate to tell Xiao Pidi that the reason why the Black Khan King Yu Sufu behaved so badly on the battlefield was purely due to the influence of the Western war.

In Western wars, wisdom is only part of the war.

But in the war in the East, wisdom may be the whole of war.

Xiao Pidi realized that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was likely to be a wise person, so he resolutely spoke: "The Black Khan King wants to take the lead in attacking the Song Kingdom, and the foreign ministers naturally dare not stop it. The foreign minister thinks that since we have enough military superiority, should we divide the army into three routes? ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu looked sideways at Xiao Pidi and said indifferently, "Aren't we discussing the weakening of your Liao Kingdom?" ”

Xiao Pidi said dryly: "The foreign minister admits that the rich life has made some nobles of our Liao State forget the foundation of our Liao State's foothold, causing the soldiers and horses of our Liao State to become weaker.

But this does not affect the alliance between our Liao State and the Black Khan. ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu stared at Xiao Pidi and continued to ask: "When the elite soldiers of the Song State see you, will the soldiers and horses of the Liao State take the initiative to abandon the city and flee?" ”

Xiao Pidi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "No!" ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu said calmly: "But they fled after seeing my Black Khan cavalry. So you shouldn't have instructed Ben Khan how to fight.

I admit that there is a certain flaw in the cavalry charging together.

But at least no soldiers and horses can fight my hundreds of thousands of Black Khan cavalry head-on, can they? ”
