The 52nd 8,000 Sword Halberd Company Battalion (2)

But on the other hand, when the Song people took the initiative to kill from the city, his insight was not as sharp as that of Tath.

When he stood up, the first thing he said was: "Call Kuduhu and Copy!" After the army withdrew, the command of the front was carried out by two thousand households, with Si Si responsible for monitoring the defenders besieging the city, and Kuduhu concentrating his forces to clean the outer castles. When faced with an enemy attack, Glue Chongshan should have rushed to the front line to join up with Copyi to jointly resist the attack of the Song people. But with this sentence, he had to make the commanders of the two sides, who were at the decisive juncture, leave their command posts and come to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief who was far behind. This is a confused instruction that does not know what to do.

Fortunately, the ten thousand households in the Mongolian army can be called a momentary hero, and when the gluing of the heavy mountains is completed and the big tent is walked, the Mongolian cavalry of each battalion has already mounted their horses on their own, and Pegasus rushed to the front line. The glued heavy mountain waited in front of the dome of the Chinese army for a while, and the two quivers in charge of the order flew back.

"Copying Tumian is organizing an army to attack the southerners on the front line, and he asks the marshal to give reinforcements!"

"Kudu Hu Tumian said that the attack on the camel Lingnan people's castle is the time to be vigorous, and the troops must not be dispersed at this time, and he asked the marshal to send reinforcements to him while resisting the attacking Sinan Si soldiers and horses!"

Gluing Chongshan slapped the handrail fiercely: "Reinforcements, reinforcements, where do I still have reinforcements!" Inform him to copy the thoughts, tell him to organize his own troops to attack, inform Kuduhu, and tell him to return from Lutuoling immediately and participate in the battle of encircling and annihilating the Song people out of the city! ”

Only then did he truly feel that when facing the army of Xiangyang City, it was impossible for 10,000 or thousands of cavalry to be all-encompassing. Who is to blame for this? Originally, he also had a fresh army and horses that were enough to deal with various emergencies, that is, thousands of people from the Jiagu Liuqi Jurchen Wanhu Department who retreated and repaired from the south gate. These are the people of the Jurchen headquarters, and they are his compatriots, who command dexterously and will also fight with the strength of the dead. However, in order to take care of these compatriots, he sent them to Junzhou to get food first, and it was too late to regret it at this time.

At this moment, Kuduhu has not returned, and he can only use a little force at hand to meet the huge number of Xiangyang Song army.

But just from the scene, it is absolutely impossible to see that the Song people took the initiative on the battlefield because of their numerical superiority. On the west side of Xiangyang, the vanguard of the Zhenwu army, which continued to drive out from the city gate, faced the constant rain of arrows from the Mongol cavalry of 2,000 households, and although their leading archers quickly occupied both flanks to fight back against the enemy's cavalry, their lack of training and the disadvantage of the infantry bow in mobility kept them in a state of suppression. As the first echelon of the entire Jingchu Army, the Zhenwu Army completely relied on its strict discipline and the officers began to set up a position under the rain of arrows from the rangers, regardless of the morale of the officers.

On the one hand, the light cavalry came and went freely and fired arrows at the Song army out of the city to attack and harass, and on the other hand, he was also directing the Naiban cavalry to line up in the distance. The Rangers' bows and arrows can't kill or injure many enemies. To gallop on horseback in the fifty-second round of eight thousand halberds in a hundred hundred battalions (2)

To kill and wound the enemy, you have to shoot your bow and fire arrows at a distance of dozens of steps close to the enemy, but the light cavalry of the Copyist refused to get too close to the large formation of the Song army in any case. Both sides have seen this truth very clearly, they are afraid of the Song people's fire salvo.

It has not been in this world for a long time, but thanks to some "foresight" of its Enlightened One, the Firebolt has been able to appear on the battlefield in a more mature form than usual, and has already had an impact on the shape of warfare.

In the past, when the Jurchen, Khitan, or Mongol cavalry fought against the infantry of the Central Plains, they would usually send light cavalry without protective equipment to harass the infantry formation with extremely accurate cavalry at a distance of dozens of paces. This kind of galloping cavalry would have caused a severe damage to the infantry formation, if it had not been met with a counterattack from a group of well-trained archers. For people who hunt on the grassland, shooting a bird on the back of a galloping horse is a skill to make a living, and shooting a person is not a problem. Infantry archers were far inferior to horsemen who grew up on horseback. They were even less accustomed to shooting at objects that were rushing back and forth, so the nomadic cavalry was clearly the dominant side in this kind of firing around the infantry formation, and in many battles they did not even make a single charge at the enemy infantry, but only crushed the will of the infantry with fast and accurate arrows at close range, and then only a one-sided pursuit remained.

However, in the first encounter in Xiangyang, the nomadic cavalry of Naiban was attacked by new weapons that had never been seen before. The Song people's firecracker team fired a salvo at a distance of dozens of paces, using a barrage to kill and injure the Naiman light cavalry who dared to approach, and they did not care about the principle of shooting people and horses first, a row of lead bullets passed, and the men and horses fell, coupled with huge smoke, gunfire and flames, the shocking experience of the light cavalry has never been before. Since that day, the light cavalry has unanimously chosen to leave the fire gun and avoid the arrows, so that the lack of fire guns can only fly around the projectiles and find no target, but the strength of the feather arrows shot by the riders is also very strong, not to mention the strength of the heavy armor, and even the arrow shot far away has fallen to the ground before it is close to the periphery of the Song army.

As the commander, he knew very well that the Song people's fire guns were not as terrifying as they looked, and there were very few lead shots that could really hit the cavalry, either lead bullets flew over the heads of the cavalry, or hit the ground, if it weren't for these damn smoke and sounds, the actual killing effect of the fire guns would not be as good as the bows and arrows of the foot soldiers.

But the feeling of observing the latter and charging in person is completely different. The fear of firearms in the front-line cavalry could hardly be eliminated at will, no matter how severely the officers supervised them. What's more, just like some Qianhu complained: "Even if people are not afraid, horses will be afraid, what is the use of forcible persecution?" ”

It is precisely because of this that in order for the war horse to adapt to the momentum of the new firearms, it takes the rider to go through a period of training before it can be effective, and it is difficult to blindfold the eyes of each war horse and pierce the ears to the 52nd 8,000 sword halberd company battalion (2)

Can it be done once and for all? Moreover, after the test of the first battle of Xiangyang, the actual combat effect of these blind horses and blind horses was not satisfactory, and they lost their hearing and even lost the call of the riders, and they would show irritable and irritable feelings from time to time on the battlefield, which was one of the most dangerous things for the cavalry in the fierce battle.

The only way to counter the momentum of firearms is to treat the horses as if they were ordinary soldiers, and slowly train them to adapt to the strange smells, loud noises, and sudden fires. And that takes time. Copying Si could only watch his light cavalry now, under the leadership of ten households and hundred households, rush to a distance of dozens of steps away from the Song army and shoot with their bows, and then they were driven away by the Song army's firecrackers.

This hide-and-seek battle is simply a trick played by a group of three-year-old children, and he looked at the phalanx of the Song people pressing forward vigorously, as if it was attacking in the direction of the western camp, he was slightly surprised, the best strategy for the infantry in the face of the threat of cavalry is not moving, because once the enemy cavalry charges at this time, the moving infantry is the easiest to be scattered. But the infantry of the Song army only pushed forward with strength. He also saw that behind the phalanx of the Song army, there was still a steady stream of soldiers and horses driving out of the city, which was a queue composed of infantry, mules and horses, and carts, and he immediately understood the intention of the Song army to keep marching.

With the infantry brigade as the vanguard, it was deployed as a barrier, and the vehicle formation was calmly set up in front of the army, which was the wishful thinking of the Song general Zheng Yunming. He hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but according to the various traces left by the Song people in the Jiuzhong Station, it was obvious that today was not the first time they had used this weapon.

This weapon is not unfamiliar to Copy, during the battle in Hebei, the local wealthy people also pushed and pulled the carts in formation to meet the enemy, but to be honest, these dilapidated carts are useless, if the user discipline is lax, the circular defense line composed of these carts will not be able to block the impact of the Mongolian cavalry at all, not to mention that if they have no time to form a circular defense line, it will only become a burden to the infantry.

In order to cover the advance of these large convoys, the vanguard of the Song army had to spread two wings on one side to protect the flanks of the large convoys that were easy to attack, and at the same time, their forwards had to keep marching until the covering convoys occupied the existing positions.

Since they have actively exposed themselves to danger, they are always embarrassed not to take advantage of this opportunity.

He urged his horse forward, and was about to rush to the front of the cavalry array to give the order to attack, but he watched as the Glued Heavy Mountain and the cavalry guards rode up from the rear. He snorted under his breath, and the roots of his teeth began to hurt again. The most taboo thing for the front commander has always been to contain from the rear, especially when the commander-in-chief personally goes to the front line to give instructions, if the commander-in-chief is really as wise and martial as the previous Great Khan or as clever as King Mu Huali, this Han Tumian Nayan is not the master of the army. The 52nd 8,000 Sword Halberd Company Battalion (2)

Sure enough, as soon as the glued heavy mountain came to Kuduhu's side, he shouted loudly: "Why don't you attack as much as you want!" The enemy is moving, and this is the best time to do it! ”

Kuduhu didn't say a word, rushed to the front of the team, raised his right hand, and waved forward.

One of Kuduhu's retinues raised his horned bow and shot a flying arrow in the direction of the Song army's large array.

The Nabarian knights let out a long shout, raised their spears and began to charge the Song people.

Wang Deng rode his horse slowly into the queue, and kept an eye on the movements of the cavalry on the opposite side, and the Mongols opened the formation very wide, which was also their usual practice.
