Section 827 Defeat the enemy
The brigade of troops advanced steadily, and some of the infantry ran faster, with short knives in one hand, and the task was to replenish the knives of the fallen tribesmen, and the other was to return the useless iron thistles, and remove the fallen horses to clear the way for the army.

Those tribulus terrestris are tied with thick wires to facilitate recycling.
The army passed over the fallen horses and men, and fired arrows without stopping.
At this time, the horses of the tribesmen also rushed over, and then the officer found that it was not easy to command the arrows, because the horses of the tribesmen were too short, and the height of the horses on the horses was about the same as that of the upright Tang people!
This problem is easy to solve, the spear-wielding infantry crouches and shoots the enemy with bows and arrows!
The horses crashed headlong into the spear formation, and then they were fired indiscriminately by bows and arrows!
The tribesmen were very valiant and kept charging, first being stopped by spears and then by bows and arrows.
Because of the difficulty of climbing the mountain road, Shi Wanchao did not use the Mo knife soldiers, and used the current mode for stability, and the results were not bad.
Even if it is a mountain soldier, the use of bows and arrows is very good, after all, it is a full-time soldier, and when you have time, you can touch the bow and shoot vigorously and steadily.
For logistical convenience, they used recurve bows for cavalry, which were not weak and could break armor.
When marching, it is often packed in a closed oil cylinder, which is disassembled for use when used.
This time, Shi Wanchao changed his nature of rushing and killing, and commanded the troops to approach in a neat line, walking slowly, but the momentum was very steady, as if nothing could make them stop.
They used their bows and arrows to shoot their horses when they came near, and they threw them when they could not see them, and they shot with great pleasure.
Arrows are like flying locusts, and the tribesmen have suffered heavy casualties under the arrows!
Arrows were everywhere, and the tribesmen fell off their horses one after another, and some fell to the ground like dumplings.
Dead horses are everywhere, uncountable, and the tribesmen who have landed on the ground will either be given a mend knife or shot to death, and the Tang army will not leave prisoners!
Advancing along the way, even if the tribesmen's cavalry was directly inserted into our army's formation, the Tang army did not panic, none of them retreated, the winding hand was steady, the shooting was accurate, and the tribesmen who came to attack could be shot down in minutes!
It has always been the advantage of the archers and arrows, the Han Dynasty general Li Lingshuai 5,000 infantry against the Huns 80,000 cavalry, while marching and shooting, 16 times the Han army of the Huns actually had nothing to do, but the loss reached twice that of the Han army, if it were not for Li Lingjun's arrows, the Han army could have entered the Han Pass!
Now the Tang Army has many arrows, and the mentality is even better!
The confidence brought by long-term victory made them proud of all enemies, that is, the Tang army dared to fight.
Infantry against cavalry, cavalry against infantry, infantry against infantry, infantry against cavalry, all of them came.
We have the world's number one commander and the world's number one soldier, what reason would we be defeated?
Even if you hang up before the battle, there are brothers who will come to avenge yourself!
When soldiers eat food, the more those who dare to fight will not die, and even if they die, they will not die in vain!
Tang Bing's hand is very stable, even if the enemy cavalry rushes in front of him, he still finds the key point and shoots over!
If such a soldier does not win the battle, there is no reason, so the tribal army is crushed, and all the rest go up to the mountains, and those who can ride horses ride horses, and those who cannot go up abandon their horses and flee.
The 4,000 tribal cavalry disappeared, and after the Tang army, there were less than 30 dead and wounded, and the loss rate was 1 to 100!
(Interesting fact in the army: After this battle, the officers complimented Shi Wanchao and said: "The general's cavalry can also charge into battle, and the foot bow can also be used, although Zhang Liao during the Three Kingdoms, nothing more than that!") (Zhang Liaozhi, Cao Cao's 'Five Sons and Good Generals', Zeng Wei Zhen eliminated Yaojin and broke Sun Quan)
Shi Wanchao was proud, bragged about himself, compared himself to Zhang Liao, and the people in the staff couldn't laugh or cry, Jiang Shi took it to Wei Xi, Wei Xi didn't say anything, just sent someone to give Shi Wanchao a jade ruler.
The jade ruler is made of mutton fat white jade, which is extremely exquisite, and no one else has it, Shi Wanchao took it everywhere to show off, and his subordinates snickered, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Lu met Lou Shide to inspect military affairs, Shi Wanchao pointed at the jade ruler again, Lou Shide was not afraid of him, stretched out his hand and said: "Take it for me to use!" ”
Shi Wanchao handed the jade ruler to Lou Shide, and Lou Shide used the jade ruler to measure Shi Wanchao's face, and Shi Wanchao asked stupidly: "Old Lou, what are you doing?" ”
"Measure how thick your skin is!" Lou Shide laughed!
Only then did Shi Wanchao understand why Wei Xi gave him a jade ruler, and suddenly blushed with such a thick skin!
Lou Shide knew the origin of the jade ruler, and kindly explained: "Humility benefits, full of losses, you use your profession to fight amateurism, the army kills vagrants, it is equivalent to killing ants, victory is a matter of course, and it is not enough to laugh!"
Moreover, Zhang Liao broke Sun Quan's 100,000 troops with 7,000 troops, and led 800 brave soldiers to the Wu camp, how dare you say that you are Zhang Liao?! ”
Shi Wan was very ashamed, and then he played a flag in the army and said, "I'm not Zhang Liao yet!" "Motivate yourself in this way. )
……
Let's say that the tribesmen live in two places, one is a tent by the lake, which is lived by the common people, and the other is a stone village on the mountain, which is lived by the nobles.
Shi Wanchao saw that the stone village on the mountain was not strong, it was just a one-person high city wall (no blame the tribesmen, they thought that the road was dangerous and no one came to attack), and the layout was not solid, so he ordered the Guishun tribesmen to attack the city first!
More than 1,000 people of the tribal army carried their shields up the mountain with ladders, and because they saw that the mountain was not dangerous, they scattered in formation and attacked upward.
Just halfway up the mountain, I saw that large and small stones had rolled down on the mountain, flying sand and stones, and the momentum was amazing!
The staff officers of the Tang Army laughed: "Do you throw stones and smash the air at such a distance?!" ”
It can be seen that the defenders are inexperienced and timid, because the formation of the army attacking in the middle of the mountain is scattered, and the rolling down of the wood and boulders will not cause much damage to the attacker, and the experienced and courageous army will launch the most violent attack when the attacker approaches Yingshan, and the attacker's personnel have been gathered quite densely at this time, which will cause great damage!
Just now the Tang army was such a tactic, their bow and arrow range was as far as 100 steps, but they put the tribesmen at 30 paces, and waited until the first batch of cavalry of the tribesmen to charge the formation fell, and the troops behind hesitated and huddled together before releasing arrows, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy!
Shi Wanchao's command level improved, and knowing that the enemy was so capable, he immediately ordered a thousand archers to follow him up the mountain to break the enemy.
Although the Tang army laughed at the "Garider" tribe for being old-fashioned and unskilled, the tribesmen said that they had a lot of stones!
Don't want money stuff, I like to smash you all the way!
The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the tribesmen threw hail stones at the Shun tribesmen of almost the same race, and even if their shields were held high, they couldn't lift their heads!
Puffy puffy!
Some people accidentally smashed their shields away, that is, their helmets were dented by the rapid stones and hailstones, and their heads fell to the ground with blood flowing, and they were dragged away by their teammates.
When they marched just now, the Guishun tribesmen did not go into battle, and now they also want to behave, but their will to fight and their level are not as good as the Tang army, even if they rush to the stone village, they are brave if they do not escape under the opponent's stone attack.
They couldn't move forward, they didn't dare to retreat, and when they were in a dilemma, above their heads, Dao Dao rockets flew into the stone village with smoke, and they smelled a bad smell.
