Chapter 1045 [Coiling Dragon Array]
But he also said that he heard that the army in front of him was the "Iron Floating Massacre" of the Jin Army, and Huang Jie also recalled what he had seen in his strange dreams in the past, but now he saw that this army had not yet reached the most glorious peak of its troops.
Just from the mottled armor of the soldiers and the messy uniforms on their bodies, it can be seen that the Golden Vulture (that is, the guy Uzhu) has just created this army, and everything is still in the stage of exploration.
By the way, when it comes to "Tiefutu", I also thought of Liu Qi's kid, now he is stuck in the northwest under the seed master, and he has also asked for transfer several times to come to Huang Jie's army, but he was held by the seed master, saying that if this son polishes well for a few more years, he may be able to take over his Lao Tzu Liu Zhongwu's class.
In this regard, Huang Jie naturally couldn't wipe the face of the seed master, so he didn't transfer him to his side to catch up with this battle that was about to extinguish the poisonous fire of the Jin people.
He also said that when he heard that he wanted this "Iron Floating Massacre", Huang Jie naturally wanted to ask about the breakage, so he also heard that he could pass on the military order and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and takes the bait!" ”
Immediately, I saw that the cavalry of the Fold family took out a pair of iron hook-like parts from the saddle bag, and loaded the spear in his hand, turning it into a hook and sickle.
Seeing that the appropriate way to fold is to make a hook and sickle gun, which is the regular method used by the Northwest Frontier Army to break the Western Xia chain of horses, Huang Jie naturally has no opinion. When he first rushed to the aid of King Qinwang in Tokyo, he also received a person who was famous in the strange dream of "Water Margin", named Xu Ning, the golden gunner, and also asked him to teach the so-called "ancestral hook and sickle technique", only to know that the hook and sickle of this spear belt are divided into two types: the fast sickle used in personal martial arts and the iron hook used in the battle array.
And speaking of which, Xu Ning's so-called "ancestral hook and sickle technique" is just the martial arts of the golden gun class designated by the Taizu Dynasty, but after more than a hundred years of inheritance, the routines are now somewhat deformed, and the many ways that were left behind are just gone.
In fact, if you really want to care about the origin of the hook sickle, in the real history, the soldiers in the pre-Qin and Spring Autumn Periods liked to use the war Ge is the prototype, and if you study the wild history, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the generals often let the soldiers use hook and sickle guns and tripping horses to set up ambushes, and at the same time, there is also a plot of the Luo family general teaching hook and sickle in the commentary "Xue Gang against the Tang Dynasty".
Therefore, in general, the ancient romancers believed that every dynasty and every generation would have a great inventor like the golden vulture to invent advanced tactics such as abducted horses and chain horses to brutally ravage the people, so there must be all kinds of heroes who do not use convenient weapons such as swords, but use mysterious weapons such as hook and sickle to eliminate violence and peace.
As for the hook and sickle gun borrowed from the family in "Water Margin", it is said that the later Yue Fei broke the abduction horse with the hook and sickle invented by Xu Ning, a good man in Liangshan, but in "The Biography of Yue Quan", it is clearly said that the meritorious service is actually a horse chopping knife.
Think about it, according to historical records, the regular hook and sickle gun was seven feet two inches long, of which the head of the gun was eight inches. The upper part of the tip is sharp, and the lower part has a barb protruding laterally, and the tip of the hook is curved inward. The barrel of the gun was six feet long, with a thick diameter of four inches, made of wood, and the tail of the shaft was covered with iron, and it was four inches long.
And such a weapon, compared to the sword of the horse chopping knife, which is close to a meter long, it is self-evident who has the easier time to inflict greater damage on the war horse.
Of course, it is necessary to go back here and say that the real hook and sickle is the correct way to use the real hook and sickle gun by the Zhijia army who are now equipped with hooks and spears. As I just said, the hook and sickle are divided into two kinds of fast sickles used in personal martial arts and iron hooks used in battle formations, the fast sickle is a sharp blade that opens the edge, and is mostly used in the rifle hook and sickle, which is excellent for poking people and cutting their feet, and the hook and sickle used in riding and fighting is used according to the regulations to use an iron hook with a curved arc of nearly 90 degrees at a right angle, mainly used to hook the hooves of the war horse and drag it to, so as to capture or kill the cavalry.
After all, the heavy cavalry itself is extremely heavy, and the load of the war horse is also extremely high if it is armored, so as long as you try to pull it down, you can make it lose its combat effectiveness, and create conditions for capturing enemy soldiers and plundering enemy horses.
But it is also said that the Song army has just changed the whole army into hook and sickle guns, and then listened to the horn horn in front of the Jin army array, and a thousand cavalry also shouted and rode forward, but it was not a swarm of swarm of stuffy charges, but saw that a thousand people first divided into more than 200 horsemen each on the left and right, and in the field about 2,000 steps away from the city wall, the horses circled in the original field, and the five or six hundred horsemen in the middle also formed a larger circle, with the heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor holding the shield as the vanguard, and the three people and three horses were connected by iron rings, and Mo Yue formed a sharp and arrow-shaped squad every thirty people, and was in the big circle array, the reverse sequence moves slowly.
It was only a few breaths of time, and the two coiled horses circled the flank cavalry formation and raised a huge smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun, and the generals of the Song army looked at it, and they all stroked their beards and laughed, that is, Huang Jie himself also followed the trend, and smiled at this formation and said: "When did the Jin people learn the Khitan tactics, but they practiced the riding formation of the two dragons and pearls into such four dislikes?" ”
The double dragon pearl protection array is one of the two national standard military formations of the Song and Liao countries, with the foot hedgehog set in the center called the "pearl", with a small number of cavalry as the two wings, around the "pearl" to travel around the strategy should be called the dragon. This formation is mostly used in hilly and plain areas, and is used to form a standard formation for self-defense when the defenders are suddenly attacked.
It's just that now it has been taken by Jin Guo and turned into a pure cavalry battle array, Shuanglong, which was supposed to swim around the "pearl", has now become a dust-making machine, and the Chinese army has let the heavily armored cavalry in heavy armor march in the formation of a chain of horses, and is not afraid of going around in a circle and exhausting himself to death first.
However, after looking at about half a cup of tea, the veteran cavalry generals such as Zhi Keshi saw a clue, and pointed to the cavalry who ran in circles on both wings and made smoke: "Both wings of the Jin army are archers, and if our army pursues with heavy cavalry, it must be taken advantage of." If it is a direct attack on the Chinese army, I am afraid that it will be copied back again, so thinking about it, this battle is also somewhat interesting. ”
Huang Jie followed what Zhi Keshi pointed to, but also thought about it carefully, and felt that Zhi Keshi's judgment might be good, so he also asked: "Is there a way for General Zhe to break this formation?" ”
Zhi Keshi's face showed a solemn look for a while, if the Jin army only learned the chain of horses in Western Xia, and then the three horsemen made a swarm of impact and kick formations, then it was really easy for the cavalry of the Zhi family to break, first to form a hedge, and then use the hook and sickle to fight, it was easy to win.
But now that the Jin army has preemptively set up a battle formation, the Song army will try to break the formation in response, and it will be difficult to think about how to win.
At this time, Dan saw three horsemen rushing out of the formation, and the leader was holding a pole of cavalry, leading the two of Jin Wulu and Yin Ulu, and came to the front of the Song army with a laugh and shouted in Jurchen words: "A certain Tie Ulu is the former guard of the Second Prince Army, the pro-army Meng'an, what are you waiting for the Song people to rub, but you have the courage to come and meet my dragon array for a while!" ”
