As an important town of the Sui Dynasty, there were 30,000 garrisons here, which was about the same size as Jinyang City.

Zhang Xingran stood on top of the city, looked at the Li family sergeant proudly, and said proudly: "Send your lord to come to talk." ”

The military academy Pegasus came to report, and Li Shimin stepped forward.

Zhang Xingran said sharply: "Li Shimin, the Duke of Tang has been subject to Sui Yulu for generations, even if everyone in the world is against it, your Li family can't oppose it." Now that I'm going back, I'm not guilty of the past. If you insist on violating Wuwei, no wonder I will cut you into powder! ”

Li Shimin smiled indifferently: "Wrong and right, there are descendants who will comment, I will wait until the war is over!" ”

Zhang Xingran waved his long knife, and the first row of cavalry rushed towards Li Shimin's troops like a dark cloud in the snow.

The ground shook and snow splashed.

The long knives in the hands of the cavalry shone brightly on a snowy afternoon.

Halfway through, the cavalry changed from a zigzag to a semi-arc in an attempt to surround Li Shimin's cavalry.

Leading the cavalry of the Sui army was Zhang Xingran's Lang General Bu Guiyuan.

Bu Guiyuan's father is a Hu man and horse businessman, and he has his own way of raising horses.

Even Li Shimin thought that the strategy of returning to the Yuan was to encircle and annihilate him.

The two armies were about to fight together, and the cavalry in the lead could clearly see the white air spewing from each other's horses.

However, as soon as the command flag in Bu Guiyuan's hand was unfurled, the cavalry automatically divided into two groups, let go of the Li family cavalry team that rushed in front, and outflanked it from the flank.

Li Shimin's formation was originally a sharp triangle, like a head arrow, and he planned to rush the cavalry of the walking Guiyuan by relying on the advantage of the formation, but he never expected to avoid his most elite arrows and attack the weakest flank. He immediately ordered the cavalry in front to return, and the enemy's spearmen entangled in it, and behind him, with the help of archers, scattered arrows into the sky.

The troops in front could not turn around for a while and struggled.

The flanks turned into the vanguard, facing the two cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, at this time the advantage of the war horse was highlighted, the horse of the Sui army was much faster than the horse of the Li cavalry, and the spears in the hands of many cavalrymen had just been handed out, and the spears of the Sui cavalry had been stabbed in the chest.

Li Shimin had no choice but to withdraw his troops and count the cavalry killed in battle, as many as 300 people, not counting the wounded. Li Shimin didn't want to fight this battle, because Xia Yu was not by his side, and the war was imminent, so Xia Yu had diarrhea and ran to the toilet.

When Xia Yu came out, he saw that the sergeants were all bowing their heads and hanging their heads.

On the enemy's side, they barked like mad dogs, their morale soared, and they looked at the battlefield, where there were many Li family sergeants.

Xia Yu walked into the main general's tent, Li Shimin was sighing there, and after telling Xia Yu about the battle, Xia Yu said: "We use infantry against cavalry!" ”

"Xia Yu, although you have the greatest contribution to the surprise attack on Qingshui Pass, but using infantry against cavalry, you are not joking, right?"

"It's snowing heavily, after being trampled by the war horses just now, the ground is smooth and abnormal, and people have to prevent slipping and falling when they walk on it, how do you have a long brain, use infantry against cavalry, isn't that a joke?"

Wu Shi Xun and Tian Chong both thought that Xia Yu was treating the war as child's play.

Li Shimin and Xia Yu got along for a long time, and did not deny Xia Yu: "Let's talk about it, how does the infantry fight the cavalry?" ”

Xia Yu got the casting map of the hook and sickle gun from the reader, and handed the map to Li Shimin: "Let the craftsmen in the army create some gun heads according to this map." ”

The hook and sickle is shaped like a sickle, and the head of the spear is no different from the head of the spear, and there is an extra blade shaped like a sickle on the right side of the head.

After handing over the graphics to the craftsmen in the army, Xia Yu said, "Tomorrow we will start a war with Bu Guiyuan." ”

Li Shimin nodded and agreed, and ordered to hang up the war-free card at Yuanmengao.

The craftsmen in the army rushed to work.

Outside the gate, from time to time, the enemy came to call the battle, saw the war-free card, scolded a few words, and returned to the barracks.

Su Xun ran to Li Shimin's military tent and sat down angrily: "Those little rabbit cubs are really annoying, they ran over and scolded a few times in succession. If you hadn't said you had to obey military orders, I would have run over to fight them. ”

Li Shimin smiled silently.

Xia Yu patted Su Xun on the shoulder: "Tomorrow you will act as a vanguard and use your infantry to fight the enemy cavalry, do you dare?" ”

Su Xun stood up with a sigh: "Isn't it a cavalry?" Lao Tzu's infantry cut them down in the same way! ”

Li Shimin and Xia Yu laughed at the same time.

At sunset in the evening, the craftsmen of the army came to report that they had finished the hook and sickle as instructed.

The next day, at the time of the application, after the account was raised, Su Xun and the other nine centurions were arranged together.

Li Shimin ordered each person to carry a bag of ten catties of salt on their backs and line up in a neat square.

The cavalry of the Sui army began to charge, and swept over like a monstrous wave.

Bu Guiyuan saw a row of wooden chariots in front of him, and he realized that they wanted to use infantry against cavalry, which was completely impossible to do.

The wooden chariot was an ancient chariot with three to five fingers of logs sharpened, tied side by side, and pointed diagonally upward.

Rows of wooden chariots can limit the speed of the cavalry, but after the horses leap over the wooden chariots, the cavalry has a natural offensive advantage, they can attack and retreat, and the infantry has no way to take them.

The Li family infantry lined up and sprinkled salt on the snow as instructed, and the snow melted quickly under the sun.

In this way, the infantry will not slip.

Although this problem is solved, can the cavalry really withstand the infantry?

Wu Shixun and the others all stretched their necks to watch, but Li Shimin and Xia Yu were indifferent.

"Ignorant child, today I will let you suffer another defeat!" Step back to the yuan smirked.

To win this battle, presumably Zhang Xingran will rely on him even more.

While thinking about it, the cavalry had already stepped over the wooden chariot and trampled towards the cavalry.

Su Xun shouted violently, waved the hook and sickle and pulled it back, and the front hooves of the war horse on which the cavalry sat suddenly lost, blood rain sprayed, and a painful neighing sound, and the cavalry on his back fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up from the ground, where would Su Xun give him a chance, the head of the gun slammed into the heart of the cavalryman, and the other party died.

The reversal of the situation on the battlefield occurred in an instant, and the cavalry that rushed in the first row was all killed in less than a quarter of an hour.

The cavalry that rushed over in the second row was unable to regain momentum, and the horses stepped on the corpses of the cavalrymen and the dead horses, losing their balance, and the cavalry on horseback were again killed without exception.

Bu Guiyuan's original tactic was to think that the cavalry would charge in six rows, and rush across the infantry formation on Li Shimin's side one after another, and then the enemy would inevitably have no way to organize a cavalry counterattack in time, so that it could be completed in one battle.
