Chapter 401: The Strongest Cavalry of the Liao State

"If he waits for Xi Wang Xiamo's army to kill together, it will be really difficult, it is said that this guy also has 2,000 armored cavalry ......"

Although the Liao State is weak, and the Liao Emperor is mediocre, he is not a fool in the end.

After seeing that the Jurchen cavalry array was charging strongly, he would naturally make a certain response, that is, to use heavy cavalry against heavy cavalry, and cavalry to cavalry formation!

Speaking of which, although the Liao State claimed to have a total strength of 1.2 million troops, there were not many real elites.

In addition to the 1,000 armored cavalry and tribal elite (light) cavalry armed by the nobles of various tribes at great expense, the most elite in the country is the 300,000 leather room army, the elite of the elite, and the 30,000 Tielin army.

However, the 30,000 Tielin Army lost 5,000 cavalry in the Battle of Chuhedian; During the Battle of Dagang, he lost nearly 10,000 horsemen.

Up to now, the original 30,000 Tielin is equivalent to giving more than 20,000 horses to the Jurchens at once, and he has 10,000 left.

Therefore, in order to fight against the Jurchens, Emperor Tianzuo ordered people to step up the production of horse armor and heavy armor with armored horses, and on the other hand, he also allowed the nobles of various tribes, such as the Southern King, the Northern King, the Xi Wangfu, the Five Accounts Fenti Lost Brother, and the Taishi soldiers of the Eastern and Western Provinces to train and equip themselves with armored cavalry.

Therefore, although King Xi was not the emperor, he also had 2,000 armored cavalry under his command at this time, and the training time was almost a year, and the tactics were also intensive charges.

Maybe these Liao military armored cavalry are not as knee-to-knee as the Liangshan heavy cavalry, and they are not as neat as the Liangshan cavalry, but it is certain that there will be no horse between the two horses.

The heavy cavalry of the two sides lined up in such a formation to charge and collide, and in the end it was definitely a defeat for both sides, and both sides took their lives to fill in, fight for consumption, and see who would be the first.

The Liangshan army is still in the initial stage, and the heavy cavalry is especially few, and this time it is here to raid, not to fight with the Liao people, and the Liangshan army is still under siege, and the strength is far less than the other party, so naturally it can't fight like this.

In fact, it is not difficult to crack, the first is the infantry spear array, with antlers and deer barricades in front, smashed with catapults in the rear, and shot with a divine arm bow.

For example, the later famous general Wu Jue broke the golden vulture in the monk Yuan and the immortal pass, which was based on the favorable terrain, so that the Jin soldiers could only dismount and fight, and then the Song army's divine arm bows and arrows rained down, even though the Jin soldiers were wearing two layers of heavy armor, they were still shot and wounded heavily.

The second is to learn from Yue Fei, sending well-trained infantry armed with large axes and hooked sickles, and not looking up at the horse's legs.

The third is to learn Tang Mo's knife, first use the spear array to reduce the speed of the heavy cavalry charge, and then the Mo knife soldiers are also wearing two layers of heavy armor, holding the Mo knife like a wall, and splitting the heavy cavalry in front of the people and horses in half.

The fourth is to take out a grenade, use the trained light cavalry or heavy cavalry to hedge against it or bypass the two wings, a wave of grenades can be thrown to blow up the opponent's back, the formation is chaotic.

However, Lin Chong didn't want to use them, because now he was pretending to be a Jurchen cavalry after all, and he would be exposed as soon as he used them; Moreover, the killer weapon must also be used on the Jurchen Iron Futu.

Just when Lin Chong was thinking about how feasible the method of cracking in his heart was, Wang Feiyu on the side was full of brains, and his thoughts had already run far away like a galloping pony, and he couldn't pull it.

"Brother, Liaogou's cavalry is completely vulnerable, even if there are 2,000 armored cavalry under the command of King Xi Xiamo, what can they do? Are we still afraid that he will not succeed?

We waited for them to come to the city together, directly attacked their weak points with light horses, and then drove the rout to attack the main formation, and finally rushed with heavy horses, ensuring that they would lose their armor and abandon their armor! Look at the Liao dog in the city, dare not open the city and surrender! ”

Lin Chong shook his head with a smile and said: "That's not how the battle was fought, our 6,000 cavalry in Xingzhong Mansion broke the Liao army of 20,000, that's because these 20,000 are not elite soldiers, and their main generals were all captured and killed by us."

Now if the Liao army is killed by 50,000 troops, and most of them are elite soldiers, and there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jianzhou City, we can be said to be suffering from the enemy; If it's still like Xingzhongfu, I'm afraid it will lose a lot......"

Wang Feiyu scratched his head, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Brother just thinks too much, pretending to be a bird tartar, and directly takes out a trebuchet, a divine arm bow, a thunderbolt, and a grenade, one shot, one smash, one blow, how happy!" ”

Shi Wengong also seemed very excited at this time, and when he saw the light in his eyes, he said: "Military master, why don't we march dozens of miles in a hurry at night, and directly come to a night attack and catch them off guard?" ”

"It's not good, don't you hear that the art of war is cloudy, and those who are interested in a hundred miles will surely become generals?

Although we are all cavalry, and the logistics are well prepared, but starting from Sichuanzhou, all the way to the city of Jianzhou, it has been more than 160 miles, and then running overnight, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses will be tired, and once we do not win, we will fall into danger. ”

Lin Chong shook his head again, he knew that in the original Water Margin story, Shi Wengong was very fond of taking risks and taking risks;

Moreover, the most critical battle of the Jurchens was the victory of Hedian, and it was all about the rapid march and night attack that killed the Liao soldiers by surprise, and they captured 5,000 armored horses, and the Jurchens had the capital to win various victories later.

But now the situation of the Liangshan army is different, before the night attack of Ah Guda, he had been waiting for work, and the Liao soldiers did not expect him to attack at night, and he did not prepare for this to let the Jurchens succeed.

But from yesterday to now, he has been marching rapidly for two consecutive days, and he is fighting, and He Chongbao on the other side already knows that he has hit the city of Jianzhou, how can he not be prepared when he camps at night?

However, Amu was more clever and said, "The master has already thought of a way?" ”

Lin Chong raised his hand and patted the neck of the horse that took a picture of the night jade lion, and said, "I have an immature idea, and I will go back and discuss it with everyone." ”

When Lin Chong and the others returned to the camp at the foot of Xixita Mountain in Jianzhou City, Du Yan, Li Tianyan, Hu Yanzhuo and others had already ordered people to set up the camp.

Then the generals came to Lin Chong's Chinese army tent together, with Wang Feiyu and others guarding outside, while Aliqi was sent to the servant barracks to guard the prisoners of war.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the tent, Lin Chong took off the iron shackle that he had been wearing for a day, and before he could start the discussion, he heard Wang Feiyu outside overjoyed: "Haha, you can count it, my brother is in a hurry, let's go in." ”

Then when the curtain was lifted, a hooded man flashed in, and Lin Chong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it.

"Haha, Brother Ma Ling has arrived, come and sit down for a cup of tea first, and then tell us about the situation in Xingzhong Mansion and Mr. Xu."

Seeing that Lin Chong valued him so much, Ma Ling was also very grateful in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him, took the tea handed by Mei Jiasheng and drank it all, and then talked about the information he brought.

"Since my brother led the army away, without Zhao Lanfang's persuasion, Dongxian Shilang decided to keep his oath and did not send troops to inquire in the direction of Jianzhou and Chuanzhou...... Everything is fine with Xu Junshi, and the Han army in Sanzhou is also honest......

The younger brother took the opportunity to sneak out of the city when the cave fairy squire opened the city gate, sent someone to fish for the corpse in the moat, and buried the corpse...... I came all the way without stopping. ”

Lin Chong nodded, he was actually a little worried about Xu Guanzhong, after all, he was only left with five or six hundred cavalry, and there were no very powerful generals to give him, and he had to guard a huge amount of gold, silver and copper coins, once something happened, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the Liao State is really exhausted, and the people in the north are really respected by strength and obey the strong......

"Good! In this case, we have no worries, and we can destroy the enemy with one heart and let go of the killing! ”

Lin Chong slapped his face and laughed loudly: "Now I'll talk about my plan, with the Ma Ling brothers arriving in time, the more sure the success of the night's action will be......"
