Chapter 962: Sit and watch the Western Xia battle Qingtang
The armed forces, also known as armed forces, refer to conventional armed forces that are authorized to use lethal force and weapons to protect the interests of the people of their country. The task of the military is generally to protect the country and its people, as well as to wage war against other countries.
To put it simply, the essence of the army is to kill!
When Zhennan Kingdom was founded, all the imperial armies were also established by Li Nan, so he was also familiar with military affairs.
Li Nan knows that in order to make these ordinary people become elite soldiers, in addition to the daily training, they also need to polish the actual combat.
No matter which sphere of influence Han Shizhong entered with these 20,000 cavalry, they had no material supplies to support, and if they wanted to survive, they could only eat the enemy.
Moreover, whether it is Tubo, Western Xia and Qingtang, these alien races are all soldiers, that is to say, they are all enemies of Han Shizhong and the cavalry corps, it is conceivable that this will inevitably bring a bloody storm to those alien races.
With Li Nan's will, the patrolmen stationed in the northwest frontier made way for a way, and Han Shizhong, who was disguised, led 20,000 new soldiers and galloped westward.
In the course of several months, at the beginning, cavalrymen who had been wounded in battle and needed treatment returned to Lintao Mansion, and they also brought news to Li Nan about Han Shizhong and the cavalry corps.
After Han Shizhong led his troops out of the imperial territory, he divided the 20,000 cavalry into four teams, led by Han Shizhong and three division commanders.
These four teams gathered for hundreds of miles, maintained a posture that could be supported at any time, and quickly advanced to the weakest of the three forces, the Tibetan tribes.
The overall strength of the Tubo people is the strongest, but there is no unified political power, and the Tubo tribes, which can only fight separately, are actually the weakest force, and Li Nan also guessed that Han Shizhong would give priority to training there.
Li Nan didn't want to know the details of how Han Shizhong trained his troops with the Tubo people, but he could guess it just by imagination, and in order to cover up their whereabouts and purpose, leaving no living mouth was a necessary thing.
As the cavalry corps went out for a longer time, there were fewer and fewer wounded cavalrymen, and for a long time, Li Nan couldn't get any news from them.
-----------------
Han Shizhong, who was wearing a yellow and green robe on the outside of the chain mail, was lying on the back of the dirt slope, raising his binoculars to observe the distance, and from time to time he picked up the jerky in front of him and chewed vigorously.
"Marshal, why did you gather everyone here?" The commander of the second division of the cavalry corps sharply asked the doubts in the hearts of the other soldiers.
Han Shizhong explained: "The scouts have sent news that the contradiction between Qingtang and Western Xia is becoming more and more serious, so the leader of the Qingtang people, Yima Dangzheng, led 50,000 iron cavalry, and is preparing for a big battle with Li Chage, the king of Jin in Western Xia, this kind of large-scale battle with more than 100,000 on both sides, most of which are cavalry, is difficult to see. I have called you here to show you how the foreign cavalry fought. ”
Hearing Han Shizhong's words, Li Meng said disapprehantly: "Dashuai, our brothers have also killed a lot of Tubo people these days, and I think the combat effectiveness of foreign races is like that." ”
Han Shizhong looked sideways at this young general, shook his head and sighed: "Li Meng, I know your family history, my father Li Tianyan was also a fierce general of the Ming Sect back then, but it is a little inappropriate for you to look down on these people of different races so much!" ”
Originally, Han Shizhong wanted to persuade a few more words to remind this proud Li Meng, but after thinking about it, he gave up, after all, no matter how much he said, it would not be as good as the reality of letting them look at the newcomers directly.
In the past few months, four imperial cavalry units have galloped across Tibet, and it can be said that no Tibetan tribe can stop them, in addition to fighting and killing, these recruits also have a kind of pride that is not so foreign.
It is precisely because of this that after Han Shizhong sensed that something was wrong, he summoned all the departments to come back, preparing to let the Qingtang people and the Xixia people teach these arrogant soldiers a good lesson.
According to the intelligence of the cavalry reconnaissance, Han Shizhong judged that there was only this plain nearby that was suitable for a large number of cavalry duels, so he set the assembly point on a relatively high hillside in the distance.
Although it is far from the battlefield, it can avoid patrols on both sides, and a battle of this magnitude does not need to be too close, and it may be better viewed from a distance.
After passing on the words of the commander, these cavalrymen were also a little restless and excited when they heard that they could see a cavalry battle of 100,000 people, ready to watch this great battle between the two clans.
The army of tens of thousands of people was not easy to command, and until the morning of the next day, with the sound of drums and horns, dense black spots were slowly revealed at the limit of the field of vision, and the Qingtang cavalry and the Western Xia army appeared almost simultaneously.
Neither army charged directly, but spread out on the plain, and as the drums of war grew louder and louder, the hearts of every Imperial soldier watching from the hillside became agitated.
Suddenly, the drumming stopped abruptly, and the Tanguts took the lead in attacking!
This kind of large-scale cavalry attack, in fact, can not play any tricks, when the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Tangut people launched together, and rushed towards the cavalry of the Qingtang people at an accelerated pace, the commander of the Western Xia immediately commanded his own cavalry phalanx to meet it.
I saw that the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Western Xia, like two black arrows shot out, met the two cavalry of the Qingtang people, and it can be seen that the strength of the Western Xia people is obviously more than that of the Qingtang people.
Just when the imperial recruits were looking at the two waves in the distance that were about to collide, Han Shizhong didn't forget to point them out: "Ordinary war horses need at least half a mile from starting to galloping, and then to the final acceleration. Therefore, you must remember that when the cavalry is fighting, the distance of one mile is the minimum combat space for cavalry combat, and the cavalry that fully gallops and accelerates can really be unstoppable! ”
With tens of thousands of people fighting, it is impossible to use any exquisite battle formation layout, and it is not good-looking, under everyone's gaze, two groups of scattered teams collided wildly!
Yes! This is the collision between people and horses, and in this kind of dense charging formation on both sides, the two groups of cavalry collide like waves, but the spray is blood-red waves!
Seeing this spectacular, beautiful, and cruel scene, every Imperial recruit who originally had a contempt for these alien armies was shocked and couldn't help himself.
Li Meng pointed to the battlefield in the fierce battle in the distance, looked at the alien cavalry who were not afraid of death, and sighed sincerely: "This... That's too brave, isn't it? ”
"Actually, it's not brave." Han Shizhong, who was originally a member of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, was familiar with the foreign military system, and pointed to the cavalry sent by the Western Xia people and said: "See, these cavalry are called 'Capture Army' in Western Xia, you see that they are not equipped with any equipment except horses and simple weapons, do you know why?" ”
"Why?" Many generals asked in unison.
"The party has always had a tradition of plundering Han and Tubo people as slaves, and it has intensified in Li Yuanhao's generation, and Li Yuanhao has set up an army of 100,000 people with the direct goal of plundering slaves, that is, the 'capturing army'. According to the establishment, the captive army has 30,000 regular troops and 70,000 slave troops, so these desperate charges are the slave armies in those captive armies. ”
