Chapter 946: Infantry Confrontation

As long as the Li Jiajun leaves the camp, no matter when and where, they will bring standard and simple horse rejection to guard against the surprise attack of a large force of cavalry at any time.

Li Zhongyi's real rise was actually in Lingzhou in the northwest, and in the process of conquering the party members, the impact of the cavalry gave him a great shock.

As long as the troops are properly used and the time of the attack is chosen, a mere 1,000 cavalry is likely to inflict irreparable losses on the tens of thousands of unprepared troops.

Li Zhongyi led the hard work accumulated in the first half of his life and marched into the Great Plain of Youji, if it wasn't for the army carrying a large number of standard horses and carts, then he would be a fool.

After many years of fighting against cavalry, Li Zhongyi and the people of the Senate Division gradually explored an effective tactic for defending against the onslaught of large-scale cavalry.

The outermost layer of the defensive circle was a large jagged pit dug out, like a cannonball crater, scattered in front of the array, but within the effective range of the Divine Arm Crossbow.

Li Jiajun first had a cavalry battalion in Lingzhou in the northwest, and then expanded into a cavalry compartment in Goryeo, and the cavalry commander was still an out-and-out party barbarian.

Li Zhongyi's experience in commanding cavalry started from scratch, he never touched a horse, and galloped like a horse, even if he was not a famous cavalry general, he could be regarded as a cavalry general.

The most important ability of cavalry, one is the mobility of long-distance running, and more importantly, the huge impact of rapid charge!

Large pits of different sizes and disorderly were dug in front of the battle, with only one purpose, to slow down the Khitans' charge.

After considering the battle plan thoroughly, Li Zhongyi called a close general and ordered him to rush to the south to deliver a letter to the main force with a few letters from Li Zhongyi, escorted by the cavalry of the Guards in the capital.

Li Zhongyi explained very clearly that several letters must be personally delivered to Song Yunxiang, Yang Lie, Ma Guangda, Li Yunxiao, Liu Heyang, and other important generals in the army, and must not be handed over to anyone halfway.

After arranging everything, Li Zhongyi temporarily handed over the command of the Guards to Liao Shanhe, and his own rode on the "bloody killing" and slipped to the construction site of the big camp.

The big pit on the periphery of the camp had been dug, and when Li Zhongyi turned around, the auxiliaries and the Gorinu were really sweating like rain to set up a simple horse rejection array.

The so-called simple horse rejection array, in fact, has been improved by three generations, and the latest version of the simple horse rejection array is actually a long gun holder that is easy to carry.

When repelling the enemy, use a hammer or hammer to drive the bottom of the spear carriage deep into the ground, and insert three spears at the same time in each hole at an angle of 45 degrees.

Unlike the large horse-resisting horses with thick wooden piles, the height of this spear stand is only about 60 centimeters, but it is very dense.

In front of the seventeen rows of simple horse rejection formations in front of and behind, the forest of spears that were densely raised up, and the countless spear tips that flashed with cold light were as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

The always arrogant "blood killing", in the face of the dense forest of spear tips, restlessly shaved his left hoof, obviously very uneasy.

Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction, hehe, don't look at the simple rejection of the horse formation is worthless, as long as the Khitans are not blindfolded and charged, they will definitely subconsciously tighten the reins of the horse, in a vain attempt to slow down or turn around.

The Khitan cavalry, once it loses the speed of the charge, hehe, in front of the Li family's army, it is simply a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this time, a large group of gorinu under the supervision of knives and guns planted red, green, and green flags in front of the pit.

Li Zhongyi touched his chin, quite complacent, this was the "poisonous plan" he came up with. With the help of the shield of the flag, the Khitans couldn't see the pit behind them clearly at all, and they would definitely be hit. The Khitans did not lose hundreds of lives, so they were blind to this fatal arrangement, wasting Li Zhongyi's hard work.

The viciousness of this simple horse rejection formation actually lies in the fact that after a wave of Khitan cavalry charges, the Li family army can quickly put away the damaged spear and use it many times.

Once the large horse rejection array composed of thick wooden piles is broken, it is difficult to quickly repair it in a short period of time and be reused.

Whether it is in terms of portability or deterrence of knights in actual combat, the simple horse rejection gun array is far better than the giant horse rejection array.

The fly in the ointment is that resisting the heavy armored cavalry, the simple horse rejection formation seems a little thin.

Li Zhongyi didn't know if Brother Hugh was equipped with heavy cavalry, and from the perspective of anticipating the enemy's leniency, he must also arrange a giant horse rejection array behind the simple horse rejection array.

In the innermost layer of the entire defensive circle, the wheels were removed, and three times along the entire camp.

On the side wall of the car, a thick shield was erected, and the carriage board was full of spears, the purpose was to repel the horse!

The junction between the Xi chariot and the Xi chariot not only erected an arrow board, but also a wide wooden board was erected between the chariots, and the warriors moved back and forth between the Xi chariots without worrying about the Khitan bow and arrow shooting.

Li Zhongyi's precautions against the Khitan cavalry were originally the principle of foresight, and as long as the means that could be imagined, they were all used.

The bronze cannon was borrowed by Song Yunxiang to attack Pingzhou, and Li Zhongyi's battalion also had dozens of detachable small return cannons, that is, improvised trebuchets.

The range of these improvised trebuchets was not long, but it was more than enough to project the "cocktails" that had been mass-produced and stored and transported to burn the Khitan cavalry within a hundred and fifty paces into a fireball.

In the past, Li Jiajun was equipped with a simple bamboo trebuchet, but the problem was that the range was too close and the force was uneven, so it was eventually abandoned.

The simple return cannon is only 600 pounds, and its various parts can be disassembled and carried, and two horses can be loaded with a flatbed two-wheeled vehicle that passes in the Central Plains.

As for the "cocktail", counting the special thin porcelain bottles, the total weight is not more than one and a half catties, as long as it covers the range of one hundred and fifty steps in front of the formation, it can make the riding bow in the hands of the Khitan cavalry become waste.

Li Zhongyi rode the "bloody killing" and slipped around the camp, and he only looked at everyone's calm demeanor and knew that the morale of the soldiers was booming.

The Heart of the Army is available! Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, the purpose of his formation of the Guards Army was originally to personally control a general reserve of the whole army, and then use it on the blade.

Unexpectedly, the general reserve team has become the vanguard of the lead, and the world is really unpredictable!

By the time Li Zhongyi returned to the hills, the command system of the Chinese army had all been put in place, and dozens of heralds were riding on horses, like stars holding the moon, surrounding the high command vehicle.

The three thousand Han cavalry led by Yao Da were the general reserve of the entire Guards, and they were divided into three directions, with one thousand men in each direction, led by a thousand cavalry commanders.

Due to the long-term garrison in the northwest, the establishment of Yao Da's cavalry is almost no different from that of the party members.

From ten horsemen to one hundred horsemen, and then to thousand horsemen, and with thousand horsemen as the basic combat unit.

The large battalion set up by the Guards is on the bank of the Luan River on one side and land on three sides, that is to say, it is only necessary to defend on three sides, which is to offset the absolute superiority of the Khitans in numbers as much as possible.

PS: Some cardin, written very slowly, I guess I'll figure it all out tomorrow.
