Chapter 607: The Nightmare of the Yuan Army's Cavalry!
Xiao Rui is used to the turtle speed loading when the system descends, and today it was actually released in seconds, which is rare, which surprised Xiao Rui.
As the saying goes, wine is the fragrance of aging, what will be the advent of seconds?
Xiao Rui suddenly lost interest, so he opened the system and glanced at it, huh? What did you see!
Catch a glimpse of my mom too!
Three glances, that's right, there's nothing wrong with the eyes!
Then his eyes were attracted by the two-word name, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.
"Damn, I'm developed."
......
The emperor of Qi was broken, and the emperor of Qi was killed by the Daxia soldiers who robbed the merits of the war, and he was so angry that the champion Hou scolded Li Cunxiao fiercely, how did he kill people, and didn't it smell good to capture him alive?
Since you killed it, kill it, anyway, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't ask for it to live, and it was worry-free to kill it.
On the third day of the attack on the imperial capital of the Qi State, the devastated land of the capital returned to quiet. The champion Hou has issued an edict to appease, promising that the people can go home, and the Great Xia soldiers and horses will not commit any crimes. All the generals and soldiers of the Qi State can submit to Great Xia, and they are not to blame for their past mistakes. As for the refugees in the city, they were also arranged to camp outside the city in an orderly manner, and there was enough food in Daxia.
In this regard, while the champion Hou sent good news, he also asked His Majesty and the prince for food, and he couldn't do it without food.
While pacifying the situation in the Qi State, the Champion Hou had other important things, one was that the Yuan army in the north was watching more than 100 miles north of the imperial city, they stole 1.6 million stone grain, and they also coveted the defeat of Great Xia and the Qi State, so he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Let the Yuan army eye, but it is not the character of the champion Hou, he immediately arranged for Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji to lead an army of 200,000 and march north. Because it was the first time to compete with the Yuan army, and the Yuan army was mostly cavalry, and the mobility was very strong, Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji did not dare to be careless, for fear that the boat would capsize in the gutter, and it would be ugly if they really lost the battle.
The scouts of the Yuan army immediately sent back the news that the soldiers and horses of Great Xia were coming from the north, and the leader of the Yuan army was cunning enough, and he also wanted to meet the soldiers and horses of Great Xia, so he adopted the strategy of dividing and disintegrating, and the army of 200,000 yuan was immediately divided into three parts, pulling the distance, scattered in three places, not far from each other, not far from each other, and could converge or stay away. Convergence can form an encirclement, and away from it, you can quickly retreat.
On the other hand, Li Cunxiao's soldiers and horses, among the 200,000 troops, there are not many cavalry, only 40,000, and the rest are other arms, such as shield battalions, sword and axe battalions, bow and arrow battalions, spear battalions, and so on. The Great Xia soldiers and horses pay attention to the joint operation of multiple arms, and the power of joint operations can be defeated by one enemy and three.
The Yuan army was mostly cavalry, and the single type of troops was mixed. The advantage is that it is highly mobile, which is beyond the reach of people, and it can be attacked and retreated. And the combat power of the cavalry is higher than that of the infantry, and the cavalry occupies the advantage of tall and fast horses, which can break the infantry phalanx, which is also the reason why the Mongolian cavalry was invincible in the previous life.
Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, once they find a way to restrain them, it will be a landslide victory, and they will be taught to be good people.
The Yuan army also knew its shortcomings, so it deliberately dispersed it, and did not dare to face the multi-arm cooperation of Great Xia.
And when Li Cunxiao knew the cunning of the Yuan army, after sneering, let them get their wish! So the soldiers are divided into three ways, but we want to see who is the protagonist of the battlefield!
Meanwhile.
Great Xia not only had to deal with the Yuan army, but also to clear out those rebel armies of the Qi State. Last time, the court of Qi had recruited most of the rebels, and there were only two or three left, the largest of which was the Nanshan Army, so as long as the Nanshan Army was eliminated, the other traitors would be a small fight, and it would not be a climate.
The stronghold of the Nanshan Army was in Pengzhou, the easternmost part of the imperial capital of Qi, and this time they led nearly 80,000 rebel troops to the west, and when Daxia broke through the imperial capital of Qi, the Nanshan Army that heard the news was divided.
Because from the very beginning, the Nanshan Army was a rebel army sponsored by Prince He, with the purpose of accelerating the demise of the Qi State. It is naturally impossible for Prince He to give the grain directly to the Nanshan Army, what if he collects the grain and does not do anything? So the best thing to do is to have your own people inside.
There are three leaders in the Nanshan Army, and the third leader is a close confidant installed by Prince He, who discovered the first general talent of Prince He over the years, and let him sit in the Nanshan Army.
Now, the state of Qi has been destroyed, this land has fallen into the hands of Great Xia, and where the Nanshan army will go has become an important choice. The leader of the Nanshan Army wants to return to Pengzhou and establish himself as a country in Pengzhou, in his view, even if Great Xia destroys the Qi State, there is still the Yuan Army in the north, let him fight the two countries, it will not affect his self-reliance.
Everyone has the ambition to be an emperor, and they don't have self-knowledge.
As for the second leader of the Nanshan Army, he planned to go north and start a career in the land occupied by the Yuan army, because he would rather face the Yuan army than the Xia army. What's more, it has a good reputation to fight the Yuan army, this belongs to the expulsion of foreign enemies, even if you can't make a name for yourself in the future, you can get credit for taking refuge in Great Xia.
As for the three leaders, they naturally wanted to return to Great Xia. Now that Prince He is in Great Xia, his task has been completed, and he should accept it as soon as he sees it. And in his opinion, the idea of the big boss is daydreaming and asking for his own death. The second leader is a good idea, but leading this group of traitors to fight against the elite Yuan cavalry, the head is funny?
So under the disagreement, the Nanshan Army split.
When the champion Hou had not yet begun to encircle and suppress the Nanshan Army, the big leader of the Nanshan Army led more than 30,000 species to return to Pengzhou.
The second leader of 30,000 soldiers and horses went north, preparing to break through to the north, while the third leader continued to walk towards Kyoto with the remaining 20,000 rebel troops, preparing to return to Great Xia.
Coincidentally, the second leader and the third leader had just separated, one to the north and the other to the north, and after walking for half a day, the second leader to the north actually encountered the Yuan army!
The Yuan army adopted a scattered fighting method, scattered into three branches of soldiers and horses, and the three soldiers and horses were divided into their own compositions, and continued to loot rampantly in various places, and the second leader of the Nanshan Army happened to encounter a Yuan army of 10,000 people!
The second leader of the Nanshan Army took a look, hey, 10,000 cavalry, he has 30,000 people, and he just sent equipment to himself, so fight!
Who knows this fight, you know the end.
30,000 Nanshan troops were killed and fled, suffering heavy casualties, and the second leader was also killed on the spot, losing his dream of going north to make contributions.
The fleeing Nanshan army caught up with the men and horses of the three leaders, which explained the matter. Hearing that the second brother was dead, the third leader was immediately furious!
Although he was an undercover agent sent by Prince He to the Nanshan Army, after all, he had been with the two righteous brothers for some time, and he had feelings. Now that the second brother was killed by the Yuan army, and all his former subordinates were killed in battle, how could he not be angry!
But he also knew that most of the 20,000 troops under his command were refugees, and it was normal for them to drive ducks to the shelves without training, and their combat effectiveness was low.
However, this three-headed man is not a simple-minded person, Prince He praised him for his talent as a general, can he get this praise, will he be simple?
In the past two years or so that he has served as the three leaders of the Nanshan Army, he has personally trained an elite army of soldiers and horses, the number of which is not much, only 3,000 people, 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, each of them is his treasure, and he has carefully cultivated it.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Prince He's covert funding.
These 3,000 people are his sharp weapons and his heart, but at this time, in order to take revenge and teach the arrogant Yuan army a lesson, he decided to attack without reservation!
Immediately, he gave an order and ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to assemble, while the rest of the soldiers continued westward.
Looking at the carefully cultivated three thousand soldiers and horses, he didn't say anything, and gave an order: "Go!" ”
Then a horse current, leading the army north.
These 3,000 soldiers had resolute faces, and although they were traitors, they were not inferior in training to any regular soldier, or even surpassed. The three chiefs told them that they would get ahead, and the world would be proud of them!
Now is the time to prove it!
It is false to say that they are not nervous and afraid, the murderous reputation of the Yuan army is too loud, they only have 3,000 men and horses, can they really win more with less?
The three chiefs also sensed the concerns of his soldiers, and he called all the generals above the ranks, and then told them: "Although the Yuan army is strong, it is not invincible, as long as you catch their weaknesses, it is easy to eliminate them." My parents were looted and killed by the Yuan army, and most of you were too! That's why I trained you to fight by destroying the Yuan army! Go and tell your sons and daughters that this time, it is not only to avenge the dead Nanshan Army brothers, but also for our parents, wives and children! It's only 10,000 yuan of cavalry, and the leader is really not afraid of them at all! ”
Most of them are from the north of Qi State, and their families are ruined because of the looting of the Yuan army, and they have been training for so long, aren't they hoping to take revenge one day?
Here's your chance, kill!
At the same time, the cavalry of the Yuan army, which had just eliminated the second leader, also heard that two or three thousand soldiers and horses were coming from the south, and the target seemed to be them.
This can make the generals of the Yuan army happy, and take the initiative to give away people's heads, don't do it in vain!
Therefore, the 10,000 yuan army set off immediately, and did not pay attention to any formation, and rushed directly to the south, ready to eat this small dessert after the meal.
Soon, the two sides collided.
There is no pre-war fighter, pre-war blind foreplay, only rushing to kill!
I saw the cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom holding the reins in one hand, wielding a butcher knife in the other, and in the middle was a cavalry wearing heavy armor, although the number was small, but the deterrent effect was great, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Yuan State Ghost Rong Army was not in vain! The two wings are light armored cavalry, responsible for outflanking, although there is no rule for the Yuan army to rush and kill, but the overall formation is still there, like a pocket, and the cavalry on both sides began to surround it, trying to annihilate it completely.
The three leaders and one horse were in front of them, holding their spears high to stabilize the camp, the standard-bearers on both sides waved battle flags, the cavalry on both sides immediately protected the sides, and the infantry in the middle were ready.
"Kill!"
The two sides finally collided together.
The most useful tactic of the Yuan army is to charge and cut, as long as it destroys the opponent's camp, it will be like entering a no-man's land.
But this time, the cavalry of the Yuan army was in trouble!
Because the weapons used by this group of Nanshan troops turned out to be hemp knives!
The so-called hemp knife resembles a machete tied to a long wooden stick, specifically cutting off horses' legs!
This three-leader is really clever, and his target from the beginning is not the Yuan army, but the war horse! Even a war horse wearing heavy armor can't wrap the horse's legs tightly! The Yuan army has the advantage of war horses, then chop up your war horses! Let's see if you still have an advantage!
So the training of these two thousand infantrymen from the very beginning was different from other soldiers!
Let you charge on horseback, I will bow my head to dodge and cut your horse's legs, after strict training, this group of infantry can already attack handily under the cavalry charge!
The horse's legs were cut off, the horses fell, and the Yuan army directly fell and ate, not to mention the heavily armored cavalry, once they fell, they had to work hard to stand up.
In this way, the arrogant Yuan army suffered an unprecedented disadvantage!
