Chapter 720: Slaughtering the Sheep

The people of Murwei and Xi completely collapsed, but Yelu Hugo did not appear in time, which made Li Zhongyi more or less incomprehensible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Right Pavilion, Brother Yelu Xiu didn't attack Yang Lie's first army, nor did he take advantage of the decisive battle on our side to come over and sneak attack, what kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?" Li Zhongyi touched his chin and looked at He Dabei thoughtfully.

He Dabei pondered carefully for a while, but he had to shake his head and sigh: "I won't tell you, I can't guess what Brother Yelu Xiu is thinking?" ”

After Yang Lie was sent out to guard against Brother Yelu Xiu, he and Li Zhongyi have maintained an unusually close frequency of message transmission.

According to common sense, when the grassland peoples such as the Murowei people and the Xi people were in the midst of a fierce battle with the Li family's army, it was the best time for Yelu Hugo to take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.

Li Zhongyi, a guy who was expected to lose before winning and had a very extreme sense of seeking stability, made arrangements early and waited for Yelu Hugh to take the bait.

However, knowing that after the defeat and loss of the grassland coalition army, Yelu Hugo has not shown up, which is really a little incomprehensible!

Yang Wushuang saw that Li Zhongyi's gaze moved to him, so he arched his hand and said, "Based on the last general's guess, I'm afraid there should be some kind of uncontrollable change on the Khitan side, right?" ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Li Zhongyi saw that Yang Wushuang's judgment was roughly similar to his, so he raised his chin and encouraged Yang Wushuang to say what he really thought.

"Dashuai, the facts are obvious, Yelu Hugo originally set up a dead end, and wanted us to go in and fight with the Murwei people and Xi people, and then he led the elite leather room army out to pick up the bargain." Yang Wushuang spoke calmly, and his whole body looked full of aura, "Now, our army is actually very cautious, even if we send troops to chase and kill, there is still a general reserve left here to deal with Yelu Huge's sudden and rapid attack. If I were Jeruxiugo, I would have thought twice before I faced the danger of being caught between the front and back that was likely to arise. ”

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and looked at Yang Wushuang interestingly, hehe, this kid's level of patting sycophancy is much higher than He Dabei's.

The so-called very cautious soldiers of our army are actually synonymous with Yang Wushuang's secret praise of Li Zhongyi's use of soldiers in disguise!

Although Li Jiajun was well-trained, well-equipped, and had high morale, in fact, the shortcomings were also extremely obvious: the entire army was only more than 40,000 people.

The capital is not sufficient, and Li Zhongyi is forced to be "cautious" in the use of troops, because he knows deeply that he can't afford to lose at all!

Compared with the so-called Jiangmen family in this era, Li Zhongyi is an alternative famous general. The fundamental difference between them is that in addition to attaching importance to organization and discipline, Li Zhongyi also attaches great importance to the leading edge of the "instrument".

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

Weapons are not omnipotent, but they are absolutely impossible without advanced and effective strike weapons.

Aside from strict military discipline and strong organization, Li Zhongyi relied on the sharp weapons to defeat the steppe peoples, mainly the divine arm crossbow, the improvised catapult, and the "devil's cocktail".

Among them, the Divine Arm Crossbow with Segmented Attack is a magic weapon for effective long-range strikes against the enemy, and its function is similar to a shotgun with a long range in a sense.

As for the cocktail of machine shooting or hand-throwing, it is a trick of hand-to-hand combat at medium and close range, and its mental pressure on the steppe barbarians is even far greater than that of the divine arm crossbow.

In the long run, the Divine Arm Crossbow may be imitated by the grassland peoples, but the Devil Cocktail is a unique killer weapon that only Li Zhongyi has mastered the formula.

In the future, according to Li Zhongyi's concept of weapon development, portable flowering and shotgun field artillery will definitely be developed.

As for arquebuses or flintlock pistols, for Li Zhongyi, it's okay to have a sweet dream, but it's just a luxury to want to implement it.

With the current smelting technology, if you want to manufacture a qualified barrel on a large scale, it is more than a thousand times or even ten thousand times more difficult than a cast artillery.

Li Zhongyi had read an article before, which detailed the steps of clay mold casting, but because of the long time, he didn't remember the specific process too clearly.

However, knowing that the cannon can be quickly cast in the form of clay molds, this has already opened the door to the success of cannon building, and all that remains is repeated experiments with materials and charges.

Li Yong chased after the people of Murowei unhurriedly, and after a while, he ordered his subordinates to speed up, slash and kill, and slaughter the fallen grassland warriors.

The deep hatred between the Khitan State and the Great Zhou Empire, even if Li Zhongyi did not inculcate the ideas of the Han people, had already penetrated into the bone marrow of every Han warrior.

It's just that in the past, because of the incompetence and infighting of those in power, the entire Han nation was oppressed by the powerful Khitan people.

Now, Li Zhongyi led the soldiers of the Li family's army, not only fought the country, but also defeated the grassland cavalry who were twice as many as the number, not to mention the final result, the morale of the soldiers alone was countless times higher than before the northern expedition.

In addition to the hard power, the psychological superiority of the fighters in the confrontation between the two countries is actually an important guarantee for the high-level display of combat effectiveness.

King Xi Lao Guning tried to command the warriors in the clan to turn around and set up a formation to meet the enemy several times, but he was repeatedly rushed into chaos by the routs of the Murowei tribe, resulting in a failure.

"Storm Bear, I'll your eighteenth generation ancestor......" Lao Guning gritted his teeth in anger, his lungs were about to explode, but he was helpless.

The truth that the army is defeated like a mountain, it is impossible for Lao Guning, who has fought all his life, not to understand. Not only that, Lao Guning actually understood in his heart that why didn't the Murwei patriarch Violent Bear want to turn around and fight?

But the problem is that the damned cavalry of the Li family's army, as if they were maggots attached to the bones, clinging closely to the back of the Murowei and Xi warriors.

Not to mention that it is a luxury to turn back and fight again, the successive screams from behind Lao Guning are reminding him all the time that the grassland warriors who have fled a little slower have been killed by the Han people!

The warriors on the grassland used to chase and rob the wealth and women of the Han people like sheep, but now, the universe has turned upside down, and they are like stupid cattle to be slaughtered, chased and slaughtered by the Han cavalry.

The cavalry under Li Yong, whether it was the soldiers of the Dangxiang clan or the Han soldiers, were all excited and inexplicable, and their morale was like a rainbow.

The warriors of the Li family army rushed forward on horseback, saw the right time, raised their swords and fell, and then, the Tartars were beheaded under the horses with a miserable cry, not to mention how wonderful this taste!

"Click." With the attack of a soldier of the Li family army wielding a knife and slashing obliquely, the head of another Tartar was cut into the sky, and the hideous and terrifying head drew an extremely imperfect parabola and fell from mid-air. (To be continued.) )
