Chapter 686: Awkward

The field battle of the cavalry against the infantry army, or the wave war, has always been the strong point of the Khitans, but it is the weak point of the Central Plains army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Li Zhongyi faced Yelu Huge, he actually took the initiative to abandon Yingzhou City and chose to set up an ambush in the wilderness, except for the Battle of Gaoping, it was indeed a very risky choice.

Others may not know the inside story, but He Dabei, a participant in the whole process, understands it very well in his heart. Although the Li family's army was mainly an infantry army, it was also supplemented by a cavalry army, and more importantly, almost everyone in the whole army carried a bow and a crossbow.

Back then, the Huns could only wait for the flying general Li Guang's bow and arrows to run out, and then they found an opportunity to defeat Li Guang.

Nowadays, most of the Li Jiajun's bows and crossbows have been disguised as divine arm crossbows. This kind of fierce crossbow that uses the strength of the feet and waist to wind up quickly is the first weapon of Li Zhongyi to kill the enemy.

Because Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to long-range strike weapons, under his inspiration, after many rounds of improvements by craftsmen, even the range of the ordinary three-stone divine arm crossbow has far exceeded that of the Han Dynasty's rhubarb crossbow.

The three-stone crossbow of the Han Dynasty generally had a range of 60 zhang (one Song zhang = 3. 168 meters), which is about 180 meters.

However, Li Jiajun's divine arm crossbow, in daily training, even the crossbowman with the smallest strength can reach 80 zhang away.

When the Khitans first began to go south, Li Zhongyi found all kinds of excuses to bargain with Fan Qian, the purpose was to save the crossbow craftsman battalion in the Sansi Xuan case, as well as the nearly 10,000 divine arm crossbows in stock.

The core of it is the crossbowman in the case of the three divisions, and secondly, the god arm crossbow that exists in the library and is swept away.

Taking advantage of the tension of the current situation, Li Zhongyi brought the craftsmen under his command, which can be said to have taken a big advantage.

Fan Zhen is indeed a shrewd and capable prime minister, but after all, he is a traditional Confucian bureaucrat who does not understand technology, and he does not value weapons, let alone craftsmen.

In traditional Confucianism, although the words of the sages are everywhere, in fact, the game is just an old trick of selling dog meat with a sheep's head.

The core point of Confucianism in the bones can be summed up in a word: everything is inferior, only reading is high!

Chi Guoguo announced a fact: only by studying can you become an official, become a bigger official, hold greater power, be a superior person, and can be a dignified fish and flesh people.

Of course, Li Zhongyi also knew very well in his heart that his self-respecting behavior of the thief greatly hurt the authority of the court and Fan Zhen. After this battle, Li Zhongyi returned to the capital, and after the reward, it was the time for Empress Dowager Fu and Fan Zhen to make trouble.

In order to avoid the exposure of his whereabouts, Li Jiajun only set up secret agents in the direction of the south and west, responsible for monitoring and emergency police transmission.

After everything was ready, Li Zhongyi, as always, handed over the command of the whole army to Yang Lie, the chief star officer of the month.

Completely different from all the warlords of this era, the Senate Department established by Li Zhongyi was actually the imitation of the Prussian General Staff.

The General Staff system is a modern form of organization that is different from classical military activities, and European military strategists unanimously believe that the General Staff is actually the greatest military innovation of the 19th century.

The Prussian (German) General Staff was the first General Staff in history with a truly modern significance and form, which had a far-reaching impact on the development of world military history and realized the transformation from the backward "commander-in-chief decision-making" model to the "officer corps decision-making" model of modern warfare.

Since Li Zhongyi established the Senate Department, the Senate Department has gradually taken over a large number of daily chores. The current Senate Department is nominally a military staff organization, but in fact, it exercises the duties of the General Staff + General Logistics Department.

The establishment of the General Staff Department system has greatly freed up the energy of senior commanders and allowed them to concentrate on operational command research.

All the senior generals, including Yang Lie, deeply felt the superiority of the Senate system.

In the past, generals who led troops not only had to command operations, but also had to deal with a large number of trivial affairs.

Li Zhongyi, who has been tempered by years of cold weapon warfare, now clearly knows a fact: On this steppe without precise positioning, the division and joint attack of several armies is simply a military operation that hits the luck, and it is normal to delay the schedule, but it is not normal to reach it on time.

After Li Zhongyi returned to the Chinese army through the crowd, although no one dared to make a noise among the officers and soldiers of the guards along the way, everyone's eyes moved with Li Zhongyi's movements.

Although he didn't look back, Li Zhongyi sensitively noticed that the way the soldiers looked at him had changed amazingly compared with before.

Hehe, Li Cuixuan was lucky, but she just fell down inadvertently and screamed. If she is loud and noisy, wouldn't she want to achieve another good story of Wu Qi killing the concubine of the king of Chu?

In the small tent where Li Cuixuan was, there was an unbearable snort of pain, and Li Zhongyi, who had already stood in front of the tent, couldn't help but smile slightly, the noble princess who was once high, Li Cuixuan, who was shrewd like a fox, she also has today?

Just when everyone thought that Li Zhongyi would enter the account to comfort the beauty, he turned around and went to the Senate. The answer is very simple, this Yelu Hugo is not an ordinary person, and Li Zhongyi must give the necessary respect and attention.

Li Zhongyi was in the big tent of the Senate Department, and after handling the military affairs that should be done, he walked slowly to the door of the small tent, raised his hand to lift the tent curtain, and walked in slowly.

When he entered the door, Li Zhongyi inadvertently noticed that the expressions of several female soldiers guarding the door were extremely strange, and they couldn't hide their schadenfreude.

cough, Li Zhongyi knows very well in his heart that Li Cuixuan, who has an arrogant personality, is not only unlikable, but even annoying.

With Li Cuixuan's painful snort, Li Zhongyi walked slowly to her side, and through the dim light, he saw a tragic scene with blurred flesh and blood.

I saw that on Li Cuixuan's originally pink and round snow* buttocks, there were several high and raised whiplashes that had been oozing blood, which was shocking.

It was supposed to be a beautiful scene, but it became an outright violent "aesthetics", Li Zhongyi couldn't help but sigh secretly, women, it is indeed not suitable to exist on the battlefield.

Maybe it was because she heard the footsteps, Li Cuixuan stopped humming, raised her head with great difficulty, and happened to make eye contact with Li Zhongyi.

"Hmph." Li Cuixuan snorted unusually dullly, but actually turned her head away, deliberately not looking at Li Zhongyi.

Where is love without hate? Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, Li Cuixuan's beating was good, it was good, it was good, and it actually hit a new realm.

Li Zhongyi didn't bother to pay attention to Li Cuixuan's awkwardness, he squatted down and carefully inspected Li Cuixuan's injuries.

Well, it's just a skin injury, with Li Zhongyi, a traditional Chinese doctor of the two worlds, present, as long as the wound medicine is applied in time, the management and insurance will recover as before. (To be continued.) )
