…

Seeing that Niu Gao, Wang Sheng, and Zhang Yu were all ready, Cai still asked people to wave the order flag to signal that Niu Gao, Wang Sheng, and Zhang Yu could lead people to attack.

Soon, Niu Gao, Wang Sheng, and Zhang Yu, who received the order, led people to attack.

Not long after the battle started, Cai still asked Zhang Xian and Wang De without turning his head: "Do you see any problems?" ”

Zhang Xian looked at it for a while and said, "It seems to be different from when we trained, and it seems to be a little messy." ”

"Humph!"

Cai still snorted coldly and said, "It's a little messy, it's just a mess, can you see the attack formation?" There are also Niu Gao, Wang Sheng, and Zhang Yu, all of whom are fierce enough, and they all rush to the front, but what about the crossbow arrows I taught them? The bow of the divine arm that was given to them was for nothing? ”

Actually-

There's no way around it.

To put it bluntly, the Jinwu Army is a pure new army, a new army that has not fought a real battle.

And the current Niu Gao and Wang Sheng, including Zhang Xian and Wang De, are not famous generals in a hundred battles in later generations, but just a group of rookies who have just led the troops - they still need the opportunity and time to grow.

Zhang Xian asked Zhan and said, "Why don't I bring the troops up?" ”

"Itchy hands?" Cai still said: "You don't have to worry, there will be battles for you to fight in the future, now, you are here to watch the mistakes they make, and when you bring people up, you don't make these mistakes for me." ”

At this time, Wang De interjected: "Let the second and third capitals go first, and the fourth capital waits, and wait until the second and third capitals are fighting fiercely with the bandits, will the effect be better?" ”

Cai still nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "It is worthy of being a famous general in history, and I can see the biggest problem of Niu Gao, Wang Sheng, and Zhang Yu in this attack so quickly." ”

Cai still asked, "How did I give the order just now?" ”

Zhang Xian accurately repeated: "The second capital attacks from the front, the third capital attacks from the left, and the fourth capital attacks from the right. ”

Cai still asked, "Have I ever ordered them to attack at the same time?" ”

Zhang Xian said: "No. ”

Cai still said: "This is what I want to teach you today, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, this is an iron law, an iron law that can never be changed, but war is complex and changeable, and the most fearful front-line generals are rigid and inflexible, so you must be as flexible as possible under the order, in short, you must not only obey the order, but also fully interpret the order to find a way to win the battle under the order, on the contrary, after you become the commander who gives the order, when giving the order, you must be cautious, Be sure to consider the possibility that your generals will over-interpret your orders. ”

Zhang Xian, Wang De and others all said in unison: "No! ”

Cai still immediately ordered: "Where is Wang De? ”

Wang Dedao: "The end will be!" ”

Cai still said: "Order your troops to make a detour to the enemy's rear, move bigger, let the enemy see your detour, and then wait for the opportunity to bite and kill the rebels and annihilate the rebels." ”

Wang De commanded: "No! ”

Soon after Wang De went down, three hundred war horses slaughtered the enemy like a tiger out of a cage!

Don't get me wrong, the Jinwu Army does not have a three-capital horse army, only a one-capital horse army, that is, only a hundred cavalry.

It's just that Cai still got more than 400 high-grade war horses back from Gao Yu and others, plus what he bought with his own money.

However, Cai still did not distribute all the 400 war horses to each capital, but arbitrarily distributed all the 300 war horses to Ma Du, so that Ma Du's cavalry could have three horses per person.

The reason why Cai is still doing this:

On the one hand, the biggest advantage of the cavalry is its strong mobility, and if you want to fully exert the mobility of the cavalry, it is not enough for one person to ride a single horse, that is, one person and two horses are very reluctant.

On the other hand, unlike the soldiers of this era, who like to develop the horse army, Cai still prefers to develop the infantry army - first of all, it is a problem of the concept of war, Cai Zhen, who has received training and baptism in modern warfare, is better at leading the infantry army to fight, rather than the horse army that he has never been in contact with.

Therefore, Cai is still very extravagant to create a horse capital with one person and three riders.

By the way, the reason why Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping and others decided that the Jin Wujun was a strong army also had a lot to do with the fact that Cai still had this horse with one person and three horses.

At the same time that Wang De led Ma Du to rush out, dozens of sharp and dense arrows suddenly shot out of the position of the Song Jiang Righteous Army!

Seeing this scene, Cai still sank: "It's bad, this gang of thieves has a bed crossbow in their hands!" ”

This crossbow is a deterrent weapon and a weapon of mass destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty official army, and its range can reach 300 steps (about 570 meters), which is the farthest shot among the ancient crossbow weapons.

Moreover, the bed crossbow can shoot three kinds of arrows - one is called "one gun and three sword arrows", which uses arrows with wood as a rod and iron pieces as a feather, this kind of arrow is actually a spear (spear) with a feather, and the destructive power is very strong. A type called "treadmill arrows" is nailed to rammed earth walls in rows, and besiegers can climb the city as a means of climbing. One is called "jackdaw arrow", which is put in a pocket on the string, and dozens of arrows are held in each pocket, and it is this kind of arrow that is shot at the opposite side just now.

Historically, the Song army has won too many battles with bed crossbows.

Cai still really didn't expect that this kind of thing would be seized by Song Jiang and his gang.

Sure enough, more than a dozen unlucky people in Erdu were hit by arrows one after another, which frightened many soldiers in Erdu.

This also reflects the harm caused by the two failing to charge according to the skirmish line taught by Cai Ying, if the soldiers of the second capital are attacking according to the skirmish line, even if the other party has a bed crossbow, the casualties will never be so large.

Niu Gao saw that Erdu's attack was likely to be repulsed, so he immediately opened his bow and arrows, and shot a person on the opposite side who instigated everyone to fight back with one arrow.

Shibeigou Village in Lushan County, where Niu Gao is located, is located in the deep mountains and old forests, with traffic congestion and sparse population.

Before Niu Gao enlisted in the army, he made a living selling firewood, and depended on his mother, wife and children for his life.

It was difficult to meet the family's daily expenses by selling firewood alone, so Niu Gao thought of relying on hunting to supplement the family.

There are many birds in Shibeigou Village, which gives Niu Gao the opportunity to fully display his archery skills, every time he enters the city to sell firewood, Niu Gao has to bring some hares, pheasants and other prey.

After years of practice, Niu Gao's hunting skills have improved greatly, and now, almost every shot is missed, and there are no missed arrows.

This is also one of the reasons why Niu Gao can stand out and become the head of the capital.

Niu Gao's arrow, the effect was very significant, and the opposite side suddenly panicked.

And at this moment, Wang De led the cavalry to roar to the back of the righteous army.

Seeing that they were attacked on three sides, and that there was a strong cavalry going around to the back to block their way, they would soon become the turtles of the urn, and these peasants, who had not received much training or even no training at all, panicked at once!

At this time, Wang Sheng led the third capital and Zhang Yu led the fourth capital to kill Hulala, and the divine arm bows in their hands also shot out.

Cai still saw the opportunity and let people blow the trumpet of the charge, and ordered the soldiers of the second, third, and fourth capitals to charge!

(The trumpet was also "invented" by Cai Ying, of course, the trumpet "invented" by Cai is not as cumbersome as the trumpet of later generations, it is just composed of a tube, one end is the mouthpiece, the other end is the bell mouth, which is made into an oval curly shape, which can refer to the more rudimentary version of our army's charge during the Anti-Japanese War, and its process is not cumbersome, Cai still has seen the complete production video on the Internet, and the manufacturing process in the video is roughly said to the blacksmith, the blacksmith tried more than a dozen times to forge a trumpet that can be blown, and after continuous attempts and improvements, the usable Stormtrooper was born.

As for the song of the Charge, Cai still directly copied the Charge of our army.

By the way, Cai still tried to command the battle with only the military flag and war drums, but the military flag was greatly affected by the weather, and the penetration of the war drums was not enough, while the trumpet sound was generous and loud and penetrating, which was very morale-boosting.

Of course, Cai still did not use the military flag and war drums, but Cai still added the charge trumpet to the military flag and war drums, and used the charge to order the soldiers of the Jinwu Army to charge and boost the morale of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army. ）

The confusion on the Song Jiang rebels' positions was even greater, with a few men running backwards, followed by more enemies.

Cai still saw this and knew in his heart: "The overall situation has been decided." ”

But Cai still did not relax his vigilance at all, on the contrary, he also said to Zhang Xian and others: "You must remember that as long as you go to the battlefield, you must be in good spirits, especially at this moment when you are about to achieve victory, and you must not slack off, otherwise, you may not only get the price of defeat, but even the price of the total annihilation." ”

As it turned out, Cai's worries were completely unfounded.

The difference between the two sides is by no means a star and a half.

Soon, the Song Jiang rebels abandoned their positions and withdrew to the rear.

At this time, the advantages of the Ma army are reflected.

Wang De led Ma Du to follow closely all the way to cover up the killing.

In the end, except for a few lucky and fast runners who escaped, the rest of the people were almost completely wiped out by the Jinwu army.

Checking the results of the battle, the Song Jiang rebels left more than a dozen corpses on the position, leaving more than 30 corpses along the way, killing a total of 51 Song Jiang rebels and capturing 43 people.

After counting the results of the battle, and then checking the casualties of his troops, six people were killed in Erdu (almost all of them died under the crossbow in bed) and seven were wounded, three were wounded in Sandu and three were not killed, and there were no casualties in Sidu and Madu.

Cai still went to see the wounded soldiers, and fortunately, five of the injured were slightly injured.

Based on Cai Ying's experience, this kind of injury can be recuperated for a few days, but those who are seriously injured need to be sent back to the rear to recuperate.

Cai still personally interrogated the captives and learned that this group of Song Jiang rebels was originally going to withdraw, but because the Jinwu army's march was too fast, they didn't have time to withdraw, and the person who incited them to resist just now was the leader of their gang of rebels, he was a native of Houshan Jiawa, and before retreating, he wanted to send something home by the way, which was also one of the reasons why they delayed time.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Cai was still thinking about it, and then sent Zhang Xian to take people to the position of the Song Jiang Righteous Army to look for it.

Soon, Zhang Xian and the others found a jar of gold and silver jewelry and two calligraphy and paintings.

Cai was still thinking about it, and sent Zhang Xian to take the captives to the little leader's house to search for it, and found a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Cai still said in his heart: "No wonder so many people are willing to rebel, it's really fast to get rich." ”

Hand in?

That's impossible.

Cai still can't always put money into the army by himself.

Taking a step back, even if Cai is still willing, he is afraid that others will denounce Cai Yi because of his red eyes.

And with these seizures, then it's easy to do.

I'll use the capture to send a military ring to my soldiers, you don't care about it, your eyes are red, you also go and seize it.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Cai still decided to use the small village where the little leader's house was located as his temporary camp, and at the same time selected ten Jinwu soldiers who performed best in this battle to escort the prisoners and escort the wounded back to the rear to report the victory......
