Chapter 195: The Rhythm of War
The movement of a large force of more than 10,000 people is different from that of a medium-sized army of several thousand people, whether it is camped or moved, the ground is shaking and the sky is boiling.
An extremely important part of the operation of the large force is the arrangement of the reconnaissance cavalry.
This is not difficult to understand, tens of thousands of troops, at any time to know everything within the surrounding 20 miles, otherwise once the enemy launches a surprise attack, your large troops, from receiving information to judging the situation, and then sending another person to confirm, and then countermeasures, and then to issue a response order, and then to the designated troops to set off to give their own orders, this round will not be able to be done in less than half an hour!
The Scout is the commander's eyes, and the farther you see, the better your chances of winning.
Therefore, when tens of thousands of Tang troops moved, hundreds of scouts were sprinkled out like beans.
The Khitan army also sent out countless scouts, so before the two armies officially battled, the most tragic thing was the contest between the scouts and cavalry of the two sides.
The Khitan army's selection of reconnaissance and riding is still the traditional way of thinking, and the first condition is to have good eyes and run fast.
On the other hand, the Zhenwu Army is on the contrary, the first choice is to shoot fart soldiers, to be able to shoot, in addition to normal reconnaissance, another main task is to eliminate the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry and blind the opponent's ears and eyes!
The Tiande Army sent Zhe De Ran, the ninth general of the Central Plains, as the main force of the detective cavalry killer, and the main detective cavalry killer sent by the Zhenwu Army was Wang Caiyun.
Wang Caiyun, the first shooter in the Central Plains, crushed all the fart soldiers!
Here we will give you an overview of the levels of archery.
The average skilled archer has a maximum range of about 200 meters, the best range is 100 meters, and at the best range, the hit rate of stationary targets is about 30%.
The maximum range of Zhenwu Army's ass is 300 meters, the best range is 150 meters, and the hit rate of stationary targets at a distance of 150 meters is about 70%, and the hit rate at a distance of 200 meters is 30%.
This shows how big the advantage of the fart soldier is! Shoot far, shoot accurately!
What about Wang Caiyun?
Wang Caiyun's maximum range is also 300 meters, but whether the target is stationary or running, whether she is riding on a horse or standing still on the ground, as long as she is within 300 meters, this woman shoots an arrow, and the hit rate is 100%!
The female god of war is reincarnated, and she will never miss!
Wang Caiyun is a woman, although she is big and obese, her weight is only one hundred and eighty pounds, which cannot be compared with Pei Baoman's weight of more than three hundred pounds.
Therefore, Pei Baoman can't ride a horse, but Wang Caiyun can! In the past, she had been following Pei Baoman with a chariot or riding a crooked camel, just to accompany her husband and please him.
Riding a tall horse from the Western Regions, Sister Caiyun tried her best to hide her excited expression, didn't look at Pei Baoman's resentful face next to her, raised her hand, and set off with nine fart soldiers!
At the moment of the war, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Tang Army had to form a group of ten before they dared to go out.
Running all the way for twenty miles, the army behind him has turned into a black line on the horizon. Turning a small hill, a small group of Khitan scouts appeared in front of them.
Wang Caiyun's team did not slow down at all, and rushed forward against the Khitan scouts.
There are more than 20 people in this Khitan team, and as soon as they see the Tang army of ten people on the opposite side, they dare to rush over, of course they will not be afraid!
This year, if you want to cut off some Tang Jun's heads to make credit, it is getting more and more difficult, and today there is such a great opportunity, where will you let it go!
The squad leader shouted, and the Khitan squad from the Fengzhou Army immediately rushed forward and greeted him.
Just as he was starting to run, he was arranging tactics at the same time, when suddenly a lone feathered arrow flew from afar, neither left nor right, but it was just stuck in the chest of a Khitan cavalryman in the lead.
In order to have a light load and run fast, the Khitan scouts did not wear any armor on their bodies. The long arrow flying from a distance directly pierced through the cloth and plunged into the heart of this unlucky bastard.
I saw that the Khitan cavalry did a backflip, fell off the horse, and rolled on the ground twice without moving.
I rub! Luck so good? Killing a man with an arrow so far away?
The Khitan people are a people who fight with the sky and the earth, and they fight for courage! I have never believed in my own strength, and fate or something is just a belief!
What is luck with a little luck! I don't believe you've been so lucky!
"Rush, kill all the Tang dogs!"
However, it's strange, Tang Jun's "luck" is so good, the others looked confused, their brains had just turned around, and another arrow flew after brushing the ground, shooting down another person!
In the next second, the third arrow flew in, and with a miserable scream, the third Khitan cavalry turned over and fell off his horse!
Hell yes! Where can anyone shoot arrows so far, fast and accurately!
The Khitan squad leader found that it was not the right way, so he quickly ordered him to turn around, took the lead in pulling the horse's head, and the whole team began to turn to the right. It's just that at this time, they entered the range of two hundred meters.
There was a noisy sound of breaking the air, and this time it was not one arrow coming, but ten arrows flying together!
The Zhenwu Army's fart soldiers fired arrows together, where can these Khitan scouts resist! After two rounds of arrow rain, except for the squad leader, all the Khitan soldiers were killed or injured by arrows! The last team leader, who had obviously different costumes, was shot into the horse's butt by Wang Caiyun with an arrow, fell off the horse on the spot, and fell dizzy. Before he could react, a snow-white and fat jade hand reached over and lifted him from the ground.
"Tie up, you two, send him to General Zhao!"
The two fart soldiers ran back with the Khitan squad leader Pegasus, and Wang Caiyun went to find the second Khitan squad again.
In one morning, the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army marched thirty miles and captured more than 30 Khitan scouts. After asking questions one by one, they all were killed immediately.
The battlefield experience of the Zhenwu Army has played a new trick: capturing prisoners.
Why take prisoners? Ask for information.
What intelligence is asked? Ask about the location and preparation.
The opponent of this Armageddon, Yelu Bugu, the leader of the Southwestern Recruiting Division, was nearly sixty years old, experienced and experienced, and was not an easy person to deal with. Zhi Congyuan led the Northern Expeditionary Army to toss in Dongshengzhou for a month, and the Khitan army in Fengzhou just didn't come out to seek a decisive battle, and allowed the Zhenwu Army to burn and loot on the prairie, which was completely invisible, and this determination was not something ordinary people could have.
Some people say, could it be that this Yelu Lu is not ancient, but is actually a coward?
Hehe, Jerubugu would be a coward? Too young, too simple!
Yelu Bugu is a member of the generation of the Khitan Taizu Yelu Abaoji's uncle! It can be said that it is the founding merit of the Khitan State, one of the dozen original shareholders in the entrepreneurial team of the Khitan State!
Yelulu Bugu fought all his life, conquered the south and the north to expand his territory, and accompanied the Khitan from a small tribe on the bank of the Xilamulun River to a vast superpower, I have never seen any big scenes! Where will I be afraid of your 5,000 Zhenwu army!
The most important thing for those who lead a large corps is not to show bravery, but to control the rhythm of the war.
What is the rhythm of war? That is, the war must be fought at the time I designate, in the place I designate, and in the way I designate, so that the decisive battle can really be fought! Only by controlling the rhythm of war can we control the rhythm of victory!
You shook five thousand people in front of me, robbed tens of thousands of women, and destroyed thousands of Khitan troops, and my Fengzhou army came out to encircle and suppress and take revenge? Your 5,000 troops are running fast, and if you can't do it, you can retreat into the mountains or cross the Yellow River.
The Fengzhou army is dispatched, if it can't catch you, won't you be led by the nose on the desert grassland?
Therefore, Yelu Lubugu's strategy is very firm, and everyone is so consumed! Anyway, your 5,000 Northern Expeditionary Army doesn't dare to approach Fengzhou, and before the heavy snow closes the mountain this year, you, Zhao Ping, will come over and fight a decisive battle with me sooner or later.
If you come, it's a pot! Completely eliminate the hidden danger of the Zhenwu Army! If you don't, you won't have a chance to come next year!
After the beginning of spring next year, the political situation in Khitan will probably stabilize, and the firefight between the warlords in the southern Central Plains will officially begin.
For those stunned people who are full of vitality and have not grown their hair, He Daxian will not care at all, but when he encounters an old bone like Yelu Bugu, even a person like He Daxian who thinks highly of himself will let go of his arrogance and deal with it carefully.
Zhi Congyuan actually tossed for a month and didn't lead out the main force of the Fengzhou Army, which shows that this old man's heart is ruthless enough and his temperament is very firm!
It's good that the old guy is hiding in Fengzhou and doesn't come out, since the army has gone south, it means that Lu Bugu has made up his mind in his heart.
Sure enough, all kinds of intelligence converged together, and the result was similar to He Daxian's own finger calculation, and the 30,000 Khitan soldiers were divided into five routes, and they were pushed up from three directions one after another!
If the Zhenwu army stupidly collided head-on, he only needed to use 10,000 Khitan troops to withstand the first wave of offsets, then where would the other four high-speed mobile cavalry units appear, and when would they appear, it would become Yelu Bugu to control the field!
Where is He Daxian willing to hand over the rhythm of war to the enemy!
Scratch! Then take the captives! Destroy all Khitan scouts! Let Jerubugu become blind completely! (To be continued.) )
