Chapter 1063 [Accident]
Thousands of paces across the battlefield, right now.
Wu Liduo's good luck came to an abrupt end after he used his sword to block two feather arrows flying straight towards his head for the second time.
Ten steps! That's just ten paces away!
Wu Liduo wielded an elongated stainless steel sword used by the Han general who had been obtained from Yutai by Zong Bi when he went south last time, and at a distance of only ten steps from the tail of the cavalry led by Yang Ping, due to the continuous arrows in the left eye and right forefoot of the war horse under his crotch, he couldn't bear the pain and fell down, and fell straight to the ground with a vicious dog snatching it.
Although in the panic, he remembered to deflect the long knife in his hand and never gave himself the result, but he couldn't withstand the huge impact after landing, and fell headlong on the ground.
However, before he could react, he felt a sudden pain in the calf of his left foot, and when he turned his head, he saw a brown mongrel nailed to the horse's shoe lifting his leg from his already stump stump.
"Poof!"
Before he had time to cry out in pain, Wu Liduo's vest stepped on a horse's foot again, and it looked like his forefoot stepped lightly on his vest, and he also saw that the heart guard in the center of the Liao-style inlaid armor he was wearing was suddenly concave, and it was not difficult to find that the backbone under the armor was directly trampled to pieces.
At this point, not long ago, he asked for a battle just now, and wanted to give the Song people a color to see the head of the number room, Wu Liduo, is so ordinary.
It was almost as his life flew by before his eyes, and he really took a little time to think about why he ended up like this.
According to the previous tactics, the tactics used by the Horn Room were to charge in two phases, light and heavy, and when the heavy cavalry came within the range of the enemy's front feather arrows, they would induce the enemy to either disarm and release arrows, or go out to shoot arrows.
At this time, if the enemy's formation is not disrupted, then the light cavalry will also turn to a detour, and the light and heavy cavalry units will regroup according to the tactics just now, but if the enemy's formation is really disrupted by the light cavalry, then the light cavalry will not turn at this time and go up directly, and the heavy cavalry that turns to a detour will turn around and heel behind to enter the formation.
In terms of the experience of the people of the Trumpet Department in counting forward for thirty or fifty years, and constantly fighting with the Liaodong Zhujing Division, the Liao, the Goryeo, and the Bohai people, this set of tactics can be said to be both practical and effective, and there are few opponents so far, so in Wu Liduo's view, if one set of tactics cannot be used to deal with the Song army, then at most it is two sets of things.
In particular, the experience of Wu Riduo's cavalry against the infantry was practiced from the Goryeo, and when he used this set of tactics to deal with the Goryeo infantry battle formation, the heavy cavalry on the front line often ran within 100 steps, and the Goryeo people were not enough to come out of the shield formation to shoot arrows, and even simply untied the battle formation and put the archers in front of the formation to shoot arrows, and as long as the heavy armored cavalry on the front line could resist the first wave of arrow rain, the light cavalry of the rear assault would smoothly break to the front of the formation and teach the other party to behave with a riding bow.
However, whether it was Wu Liduo or his subordinates, no one expected that the Song army under Huang Jie was so powerful, the shield array was really like a city wall, not to mention, and the arrows did not come out, so he opened a small shooting port between the shield and the shield, and knew that Wu Liduo led the target used to attract firepower, so he directly let it go, but tilted all the firepower on the light cavalry that came one after another but was unprotected.
What made Wu Liduo feel even more powerless was that there was really no one in the cavalry of the Song Army, looking at him, Wu Liduo led a heavy horse to rush up, not only did not dare to show his sword and slash, but also turned around and even released arrows while running, and the arrows released were accurate and ruthless.
There is no need to say superfluous nonsense, just say that when Wu Liduo died in the battle formation, although the heavy cavalry of the left wing room led by him was only less than one percent, he also found that he could not catch up with the light cavalry of the Song army that had already raised the speed, and Wu Liduo, the leader, fell off the horse and his life and death were unknown, and suddenly the eye-catching squad leader shouted and led the cavalry of the team to turn to the Jin army to evacuate.
However, as soon as the cavalry of the Horn Room Department turned, the cavalry of the Song Army, who had turned around and ran away, also patted their horses to chase after them, and they did not exert all their strength, they hung tightly at a distance of twenty or thirty paces, and the riding bow in their hands shot arrows as if they didn't want money.
When the retreating cavalry finally ran back to the front of the Jin army to stabilize their position, most of the centaurs at the tail of the team had already made a rolling gourd, and after hurriedly counting people, they learned that the light cavalry troops that were blocked by the Song army's divine arm bow had lost more than 1,000 men and horses, of which more than 1,100 fell horses, but the loss of personnel was quite acceptable, and there were only about 200 people before and after, and the light horses had no armor, and they could run back on their own with two legs after falling off the horse.
As for the heavy cavalry, the data is ugly, the left flank of about 800 people led by Wu Liduo personally only more than 500 people ran back, because the men and horses are wearing heavy armor, most of the people who fell after being hit by the tail are seriously injured, and the few uninjured people are not able to run back to the main formation, so naturally all of them were captured without accident.
The right-wing heavy cavalry, led by another general, was even more badly damaged, and less than 200 of the more than 700 people ran back.
Therefore, counting left and right, how did the 3,000 cavalry of this room rush into battle once, but they were directly defeated and scattered on the spot, not to mention, the battle damage reached an astonishing more than 30%.
Zong Wang, Zong Bi and the others, who were under the battle banner of the Jin Army, looked at them with a confused face, judging from the position they were in, there was actually nothing wrong with the tactics used by Wu Liduo to rush into battle like this, but why did they end up like this is really surprising.
"This, this, this...... Where is Wu Liduo? Zong Wang's face was pale, and when the two remaining leaders of the No. 1 Department, Mou Ke, came to hand over the order with a sad expression, Zong Wang also shouted angrily: "Don't you dare to come to see me? ”
"Generalissimo, someone saw Wu Liduo fall from his horse just now!" A Mouke turned around and pointed in the direction of the cavalry formation on the left flank of the Song army, and cried silently: "I'm afraid that Wu Liduo is already fierce and lucky!" ”
When Zong Wang heard this, he also shouted: "Hmph! If he dares to return, Marshal Ben will not forgive him! People come, inform the whole army, Mingjin to withdraw the troops! ”
The generals who had been sweating profusely for a long time naturally didn't dare to say much, and after agreeing to the promise, they also retreated as a team, but they didn't dare to look at the battlefield again.
