In the era of cold weapons, cavalry had a natural advantage over infantry.

This advantage is mainly reflected in maneuverability and impact power.

To put it in layman's terms, the infantry fighting the cavalry is unable to catch up if it wins, and it cannot run away if it loses, while the cavalry can use the total weight of men and horses to form a greater impact on the infantry phalanx in front of it when attacking the infantry.

Some of the larger horses can even weigh up to a ton and two, and because they move fast, the impact is extremely terrifying.

More importantly, mobility can to some extent reverse the numerical balance between armies.

In other words, the side with good mobility can concentrate superior forces to attack a certain area of the opponent, and a local superiority in forces is formed.

Although the defending side may have more troops on the whole, the defending side needs to defend a lot of places, and in one locality, the attacking side can form a numerical advantage and eliminate the local defenders before the defender's reinforcements arrive.

That's where mobility comes in.

An army with good mobility can always form a superiority in strength in the local battlefield by quickly transferring its own troops, so as to gradually annihilate the side that lacks mobility.

Therefore, nomads always have an innate military advantage over agrarian peoples.

It is precisely because of this that there is the Great Wall.

So how should the farming people deal with it?

One way was to use the terrain, that is, to use the mountains to block the cavalry's run, and to attack from a high position, and the Great Wall was exactly such a defense.

Another way is to use cavalry against cavalry, by forming a strong cavalry corps to fight against the nomads, Han against the Xiongnu, Tang against the Turks, are all the same strategy.

Now, Yue Fei wants to use the infantry army to fight the cavalry, or on the plain without any dangerous terrain.

It can be said that before the battle, Yelu Buddha was already invincible.

Plus the hatred for the Song people.

These Liao people, who were extremely aggrieved by the Shangjin people before, rushed up with a shout!

Although it was the first battle in his life, Yue Fei showed an unusual calmness, which made Shi Wengong not only nod secretly: "No wonder the Metropolitan Governor promoted him so much." ”

When the Liao army reached three hundred steps, Yue Fei ordered: "Bed crossbow attack!" ”

Seeing the flag spelled by the flag commander, Niu Gao ordered: "Bed crossbow, put it!" ”

In an instant, five hundred bed crossbows pulled the trigger together!

The bed crossbow of the Liangshan army, all of them are three-bow bed crossbows, also known as the "eight-bull crossbow", the arrows are made of hard wood as the arrow shaft, and the iron piece is the feather, the world is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", when it is fired, it is magnificent, the arrows are like javelins, and the close-range firing can be directly nailed into the city wall, when the salvo is fired, the rows of pedal arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can take advantage of this to climb up, shoot people, shoot horses, even if they are wearing the best heavy armor, they will definitely die, and even can nail the people and horses to the ground.

Moreover, these bed crossbows are all one crossbow and four arrows.

In other words, more than 2,000 javelin-like iron spears were shot out at once.

"Woo Woo Blah ......"

Six or seven hundred soldiers of the Liao Army fell in response!

Yelu Buddha, who bore the brunt of the attack, relied on his strength and skill, and luckily picked up a life, but he was also scared to the back!

After fighting against the Song army and confronting each other for so many years, how could Yelu Buddha not know the Song army's sharp weapon bed crossbow?

But Yelu Buddha never thought that this Song army would have so many bed crossbows, which is too rich - you know, a bed crossbow needs more than a dozen good cow tendons, and it also needs skilled craftsmen to make it, so if an army can have one hundred and eighty bed crossbows, it is already very rich, and Yue Fei's army actually has five hundred bed crossbows!

In fact, this is also one of Li Yan's confidence.

Over the years, Li Yan has taken advantage of the tricks, worked hard, and accumulated a rich family foundation, otherwise he might not dare to go north.

After a salvo of bed crossbows, the bed crossbowmen and the people did not try to shoot a second round at all, because the cavalry would not give them this time at all, and the well-trained ones directly turned the bed crossbow sideways as a stake to block the gap they had made, preventing the enemy from rushing in through this gap - although this was a bit of a luxury, but the commander taught it this way, and the commander conveyed the original words of the Grand Duke: "Don't worry about weapons and supplies, victory is the first thing." ”

When the range of the bow and arrow came, the Liao soldiers immediately returned fire with bows and arrows, but most of the Liao's bows and arrows were blocked by Liangshan's shield soldiers and wooden curtains - this is the advantage of the array.

Of course, although the Liangshan army was well-trained and Yue Fei's formation was tight enough, there were still two or three hundred unlucky Liangshan soldiers who were killed or wounded under this rain of arrows.

Soon, the Liao army rushed to the range of the unconscionable cannon.

Yue Fei's order was also answered in time.

Seeing this, Niu Gao ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Woo Woo Blah ......"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The Liao army was blown up!

In fact, at this time, if the right battalion of the kidnappers is released, most of them can also win.

But Yue Fei didn't give this order - he wanted to achieve greater results.

The Ma army is defeated against the infantry army, and it is difficult for the infantry army to inflict large-scale casualties on the Ma army, especially on this plain, and then the main general will retract it, and then he can fight again.

Therefore, Yue Fei wanted to let this horse army come over, and then completely annihilate this horse army, which was not a small number.

On the other side, Yelu Buddha and other Liao army soldiers were bombed by unconscionable artillery!

Although the conscienceless cannon actually didn't kill too many Liao army officers and soldiers, and it didn't have as many casualties as the previous bed crossbow, the momentum of the conscienceless cannon was too scary, which made the Liao army soldiers retreat a little, "This Song army is too evil, otherwise let's withdraw!" ”

However, thinking that his killer weapon had not yet been sacrificed, and he could still run if he couldn't win, Yelu Buddha gritted his teeth and said, "Rush in!" Just rush in and we'll win! ”

When Yue Fei's front army was less than ten zhang away, thousands of crossbow arrows were shot out all over the world—Divine Arm Crossbows!

Another large number of Liao soldiers fell, and even Yelu Buddha was hit by an arrow!

If it weren't for the fact that the distance between them and this group of Song troops was only less than ten zhang away at this time, if it weren't for the fact that there was a strange army as a killer weapon, if it weren't for the fact that the Song people who took advantage of the danger were too hateful, the Liao army might have been defeated.

At this time, Yelu Buddha pulled out the crossbow arrows on his body, the pain aroused his wildness, he raised the big knife in his hand, and said: "Kill with me, kill the despicable Song people!" ”

Wang Gui, who was wearing a heavy armor and holding a seven-foot-long horse chopping knife, opened his throat and shouted: "There is no enemy and no me, there is no enemy and I am invincible!" The shield soldiers put up their shields, and the heavy infantry raise their swords, ready to engage in battle! ”

This is the most tragic scene!

A single shield soldier was hit by a cavalry running at high speed, and there was nothing that was not knocked away, and there were few who did not die after being knocked away, not to mention, the cavalry still had spears and sabers in their hands, so to speak, as long as they were hit by the cavalry, few shield soldiers could escape with their lives.

In response to Wang Gui's words, there is no enemy and no me, and there is no enemy with me.

Lucky!

Yue Fei deployed some horse rejection stakes, bed crossbows, and conscienceless cannons, which could block the Liao army and make the casualties of the shield soldiers a little less.

But it's just a gear, a little less.

Yue Feijun, who only brought 10,000 reservists (acting as a people's husband), couldn't carry too many horse-rejecting stakes at all, even if the bed crossbow and the conscienceless cannon were added together, it was only a thousand.

In addition, the horse army is highly mobile, and can completely bypass or skip the horse rejection stakes, bed crossbows, and conscienceless cannons.

Therefore, in the end, the shield soldiers had to use their lives to slow down the horse army......
