Sang Yi stood on the city tower, his face sinking like water, staring at the military array in front of him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The person standing in front of the military formation is the one who is buried by the generals of the party army who came to invade Qinzhou this time, and Sang Yi must stay.

At this time, the chaos had gradually subsided, and the Fan army brought by Yu Zang Huama was basically abolished, and most of the people sat on the ground like dead fish, waiting for the Song army to surrender after leaving the city. However, the party army was still there, especially the 3,000 'Bubazi', and after forcibly suppressing the chaotic Tibetan army in their vicinity with negative Zhan, it was still fully organized.

The appreciator's eyes were cold, staring at Sang Yi as if he were staring at him. He couldn't figure out why it turned out this way. If you don't walk with Yuzang Huama this time, you will only bring 10,000 people to this end. Before the Song army went out of the city to fight, its own side had already collapsed on the whole front, not only the Fan Luo army of Yuzang Hua Ma Belt was finished, but also the thousands of party members were also involved. The appreciator knew that he had no choice but to take the last three 'steps' and fight to the death with the Song army in Fuqiang City. If you are lucky enough to defeat the Song army in the city, you don't expect to occupy the city, as long as you return to drive away the Fanluo army of Yuzang Huama, go north along the Sandu River, and rush out of the valley by taking advantage of the chaos, there may be a glimmer of life.

Of course, he didn't know now that the tens of thousands of Deshun troops led by Liu Jianji had already arrived at the city of Huichuan, and they had already blocked his retreat. At the same time, the Shu army led by Cao Keming had also left the Xianhe valley and approached the Western Envoy City.

At this moment, a pro-soldier quickly ran to Sang Yi's side and handed over an official letter: "Deputy deployment, Marshal's military order!" ”

Sang Yi took the official document and unfolded it to watch, it turned out to be written by Xu Ping himself. Tell Sang Yi that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and they must not be taken lightly because of the chaos of the previous Fan army. The defenders of Fuqiang Village must keep the appreciator buried and his 3,000 'foot soldiers', and must not let them break out of the preset encirclement. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to disturb the surrounding chaos. The Fan Fallen Army, which has lost its combat effectiveness, should not be irritated for the time being, and after eliminating the Party Army, it is enough to calmly pack up and capture them.

Xu Ping finally figured out why the Fanluo army of Yuzang Hua Ma Belt was so vulnerable, not that they couldn't fight, but once they left the native Fanluo, they could only fight a good battle. If this time they were not blocked in the Sandu River, but in the Weihe Valley, it would be a different situation. The Fan Luo Army is composed of tribes, and together with various contradictions, hundreds of years of grievances and hatreds are mixed together, and no one looks at it. And once they reach the prosperous plains, the various tribes go out separately to plunder, and they will never fight so smoothly. Even if they are defeated, they can be annihilated.

In the same way, when these rebel armies protect the land of their tribe, they should not be taken lightly, they are good at defending but not good at attacking. Dang Xiang Yuanhao attacked Qingtang and suffered several defeats, which does not mean that the army of Dang Xiang defeated the Dang Xiang army, if he is allowed to attack Dang Xiang, I am afraid that the situation will be even more ugly. Yu Zang Hua Ma to attack, the Song army can destroy him against him, but if he guards the west envoy city and does not come out, the Song army will definitely not attack like this, I am afraid that it will still be a bitter battle.

In this sense, once they leave the headquarters, the combat effectiveness of the Fan Luo Army may not be comparable to that of the Liukou in the Central Plains. It is difficult to exterminate the rogues because it is difficult to catch them, not because they are strong in combat, and the same is true for the Fan Fallen Army.

Sang Yi read the official document, handed it to Xu Qian beside him, and said to him: "Marquis Yu, the marshal strictly ordered, you must leave the appreciator to bury his 'Bubazi'." Now that the flood has passed, the ground is still muddy. When it is past noon, and the ground is drier, you take a thousand iron horsemen, a thousand crossbowmen, and three thousand foot troops, and go out to attack and bury those who are rewarded. I will take the rest of the soldiers and horses and put you in battle in the city. ”

Xu Qian forked his hand and promised, and said: "So, the soldiers and horses on the south bank of the Wei River are about to cross the river?" ”

"Cross the river now! After you send out your troops, you will scatter your light cavalry and first control the land from Gukou to Weihe. We must not let them flee in all directions, but we must also prevent the party army from fleeing to the mountains after being dispersed. ”

The soldiers and horses of the Xuanwei army have expanded to 10,000 or 20,000, only less than 5,000 are in Fuqiang Village, and the rest of the brigade is on the south bank of the Wei River. At this time, a pontoon bridge has been erected on the Wei River, leading to the south water gate of Fuqiang Village, and the brigade of soldiers and horses can cross the river at any time.

The 'Bu Bazi' was an infantry army, which was conducive to mountain warfare, and they did not expect to encounter this situation before they came, and there were no heavy and light cavalry to cooperate with each other, and now they are in a very disadvantageous situation. The two armies have faced each other head-to-head, and the coordination of the arms is of utmost importance, and in the face of the elite regular army, a single arm is bound to lose. Without a strong bow and crossbow, without a long axe and halberd, a thousand iron horsemen could slaughter them all. From the Five Chaos to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Central Plains has fought countless battles, and the confrontation between infantry and cavalry has already had certain rules from theory to practice, and there is no fluke at all. Only when the elite level of the two armies is too far apart can a miracle be created, and the party's army is not yet qualified for this.

Those who appreciate it bury it now, and they are lucky. In order to let the people of the party follow him and betray the Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao deliberately belittled the combat power of the Song army in China, giving many people in the party army the illusion that the Song army was about to collapse in front of the elite of the party. In fact, even without Xu Ping's military reform, there is no record of the party army in history eating the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty when it was quite hard, let alone the Xuanwei army, which has now been reborn.

The sun slipped through the middle of the sky, and the north wind blew from the Sandu River Valley, and the three thousand 'Bubazi' at the mouth of the valley felt a chill on their backs.

The gate of Fuqiang Village slowly opened, and a thousand iron horsemen ran out of the city gate and lined up in front of the moat. Their movements were not hurried or slow, and it took more than half an hour for 5,000 cavalry and infantry troops to assemble the most complete ranks.

The appreciators plucked up their courage a few times, wanting to take advantage of the unstable formation of the Song army and lead people up to fight, but finally resisted this impulse. The Song army was not stable, but when the Dang Xiang army rushed up, the troops were also chaotic, if the Song cavalry came to a counter-charge at this time, the Dang Xiang army would be wiped out.

Xu Qian rode a horse and was in the middle of the formation, and when the formation of the headquarters was completed, the big flag behind him was rolled up and gently forwarded, and the whole army began to slowly approach the military formation buried by the admirers with the beat of the drum. There were a thousand iron horsemen in the middle, crossbowmen and foot soldiers in the rear, and the wings were protected by light horsemen who went out of the city with him.

When they arrived at the place where they were a stone's throw away from the party's army, the drumming stopped abruptly, and the Song army stopped. The light cavalry slowly dispersed to the flanks and began to control the battlefield between Gukou and the Wei River, cutting off the Tibetan army that was watching in groups.

Xu Qian rode on the horse, looking at the admirer on the opposite side, no matter how he forcibly calmed his mind, his heartbeat still accelerated. He was originally the commander of the east and west classes of the palace, Zhao Zhen Yuyan and the palace tried the material and martial arts, Xu Qian performed outstandingly, over-moved for the treasury envoy, was sent to Qinfeng Road to be the capital eunuch, and was elected by Xu Ping as the right Yu Marquis of Sangyi. Sanban Dianzhi is the nearest personal guard of the emperor who is subordinate to Sanya, Xu Qian's promotion is all from the holy family, and he needs military merits to prove himself.

The identity of the person who admired the person on the opposite side was equivalent to Xu Qian, who was originally one of the ten captains of the three thousand iron cavalry around Yuan Hao, and this time he was sent to the military division of Xishou Supervisor, and he also had to prove himself with military merits. It's just fate that makes people, he, the captain of the iron cavalry, has to lead the infantry to face the charge of the heavy cavalry, which is exactly the situation that the 'foot riders' are most afraid of facing.

The light cavalry that had gone out of the city with Xu Qian slowly dispersed, the banner behind him waved lightly, and a thousand crossbowmen accompanied by infantry archers divided into two parts, slowly spreading to the two wings.

Watching the crossbowmen on both wings of the Song army slowly move forward, spreading like wings, the admirers only felt bitter in their mouths. This is the standard maneuver before the middle heavy cavalry charges, and the crossbowmen shoot their feet, and the tide of heavy cavalry will roar in.

The most effective way to deal with an enemy charge is always a local counter-charge that seizes the opportunity, and the same is true for infantry against cavalry.

Heavy cavalrymen are heavily armored and slow in defense, and they are powerful but not mobile enough. In the face of the charge of heavy cavalry, if you are passive defensive, no matter how you arrange your troops in a foot formation, unless it is a rifle or machine gun, it is difficult to hold. The most effective defense of China's elite army against heavy cavalry charges is the counter-charge of the infantry squads. Lose the fighting ability of the charging heavy cavalry before they are ready to attack.

From the Mo knife to the sword to the chopping knife to the big axe to the hook and sickle, they are all classic long weapons used by the infantry to recoil heavy horses. They didn't need to wipe out the heavy cavalry, they just had to cut off the legs of the horses on the way to the heavy cavalry charge, so that the heavy cavalry could lose their mobility. The elite infantry of the counter-charge may suffer heavy casualties, but it is worth it in exchange for the enemy's heavy cavalry to lose its combat effectiveness.

In the face of the counter-charge of the infantry with long weapons, no matter how strong the heavy cavalry is, the protection is useless, and the horse's legs are always a weak point that cannot be defended. The lack of heavy cavalry like iron cans in China is inseparable from this tactic, not because China did not have the technology to make that kind of armor, but because the cavalry was useless on the battlefield in China. The infantry that could not launch a counter-charge would be chopped by the heavy cavalry, and in the face of such a weak army, the heavy cavalry did not need such strong protection. The heavy cavalry on the Chinese battlefield needed more to carry short weapons and bows and arrows, which could clear the long-weapon infantry that rushed up.

Before the heavy cavalry charged, the crossbowmen spread out on the wings for the same purpose. Use the strong bow and crossbow to shoot the infantry that is countering the heavy cavalry and clear the obstacles to the heavy cavalry charge.

At this time, the Admirer should send his cavalry to attack the Song army's open flanks and disrupt the Song army's established deployment. Unfortunately, he had no cavalry at his disposal.

Xu Qian squinted his eyes and looked at the party item 'Bu Bazi' on the opposite side, the formation of his own attack had been arranged, and the other party had not yet responded to it, and the battle had been won.
