Chapter 186: Attacking the Yi Army

The blind lieutenant general saw that Yidu had an army of 30,000 and asked, "General, shall we start fighting now?" ”

The blind man shook his head and said, "Let them out, I'm going to eat them all!" ”

The shooting distance of the crossbow is more than 100 steps, although the distance is long enough, but the speed of the crossbow arrow is too slow, if the distance between the two sides is 300 steps, during this period, the crossbow can shoot twice is considered a skilled shooter, and the one who can shoot three times is an excellent shooter!

The blind man looked at the 30,000 troops, 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, 10,000 crossbowmen, and 20,000 sword and shield soldiers have no advantage over 5,000 cavalry, but these 10,000 crossbowmen are too damaging to the cavalry, Yiguo also has cavalry, but most of the cavalry is in the hands of the eldest prince, so Yangyun does not have many cavalry, and the Yiguo army has always been good at defending and not attacking, so Yangyun is not forming cavalry.

The value of a cavalry is at least the value of three ordinary infantry, like the cavalry composed of Li Yao's five thousand Dawan horses, one cavalry is at least four infantry, so the five thousand cavalry raised by Li Yao will cost at least 20,000 troops!

The blind man was very satisfied with the five thousand cavalry, when he occupied Huxian, he often passed through Huxian County to Yidu to wander around, after getting Li Yao's order, he came to Yidu twice every two days, watching the army of Yangsong County shrink in the county town and did not dare to attack him, the blind man was even more bold, and the cavalry once ran to the territory of the prince of Yiguo, so he was very familiar with these terrains!

The eldest prince also turned a blind eye to the blind cavalry, as long as you don't come to attack me, I won't chase you, in fact, it's useless to catch it, in terms of speed, the military horses of Yiguo are not as fast as the military horses of Qi country. Not to mention this cavalry composed of Dawan horses, and the power of the eldest prince is very empty now, especially the life and death fight with Yang Yun a while ago, if it weren't for the fact that he has several veterans who are good at fighting behind him, it is estimated that he has been wiped out by now, so the eldest prince took advantage of this winter to recruit troops and buy horses. Wait for the next spring to counterattack Yangyun.

The 30,000 troops sent by Yidu to support Yangsong County were very cautious, because they knew that they had been stared at by the enemy cavalry, so even when the army was advancing, it was 10,000 sword and shield soldiers at the beginning, 10,000 crossbowmen in the middle, and 10,000 sword and shield soldiers at the back!

The blind man had a headache when he saw this way of marching, with ten thousand sword and shield soldiers in front, it was really difficult to cut through their formation, and there were ten thousand crossbowmen in the middle. You can support the attacked sword and shield soldiers at any time, so this makes it impossible for the blind to attack!

The blind man took the telescope into his arms, this telescope was made by Li Yao, and he made a thousand of them at that time, but it was only equipped to the division level, and the rest were kept in the warehouse, waiting for the next time when someone has merit, he will reward whom!

The blind man was naturally assigned one, when he first got it. The blind man looked at it and could clearly see the scene four miles away. was taken aback, after Li Yao's explanation, the blind man liked this thing!

As a scout, being able to clearly see the situation four miles away is simply an artifact-like existence, at the strong request of the blind man. I hope Li Yao can equip the telescope in the scout to the class level!

Li Yao also knew the importance of the telescope to scouts, for example, to reconnoiter the enemy's military camp, you can see it clearly from four miles away, and you don't need to lurk one or even half a mile away from the enemy's military camp to reconnoitre, which can indeed be much less dangerous. Although the cost price of a telescope is ten taels of silver, there are very few craftsmen who can make telescopes, so it is still unrealistic to want scouts to be fully equipped with such telescopes, but Li Yao still took out more than 100 telescopes and gave them to the blind man, so that the blind man could distribute them directly.

The adjutant general was also very entangled when he saw the advance of Yidu's army, and said: "It's not easy to exterminate them, and this place is close to Yidu, if we attack, they will definitely flee back to Yidu, so we can also complete the task!" ”

The blind man shook his head and said, "My purpose is not just to complete the task, I want 10,000 bows and crossbows!" ”

The adjutant general hesitated: "General, but the defense on the other side is like a turtle, and it is not easy for us to kill them!" ”

The blind man thought for a moment and said: "I have a way, I will give you half of the army, we will attack them back and forth when the time comes, just release rockets far away, if they attack to one side, our other side will also attack, I want to make them take care of the head and tail, so that their formation will definitely be chaotic, the formation is chaotic, and there will be flaws!" ”

The blind adjutant general took the order and took away 2,500 cavalry, and soon the blind adjutant's 2,500 cavalry were ready for the offensive, and the blind adjutant began to strike the 30,000 troops with rockets as agreed!

The firing distance of the rocket is about the same as that of the crossbow, so the cavalry can hit the sword and shield soldiers, while the crossbowmen cannot attack the cavalry because they are in the middle of the army!

In this way, the unilateral torture began, and under the strong firepower advantage, the Yiguo Guodu army fell like wheat, row by row!

When the Yiguo army saw that this was not good, they immediately transferred the archers to the front row to attack! This is the blind man's scheme, if they don't put the archers in front, maybe they still have the power to fight with the blind cavalry, now the cavalry and the crossbowmen face to face, on the speed of the crossbowmen are definitely not able to catch up with the cavalry, on long-range weapons, the range of the bow and the rocket is comparable, but the rocket can be launched diagonally, and the rocket does not rely on penetration, but by the damage caused by the explosion of gunpowder in the warhead, so at this time the range of the rocket is farther than the crossbow, although the crossbow can also be thrown, but the accuracy is much worse, Moreover, Dawan Ma moves quickly, and if it really runs, it only takes a blink of an eye to avoid the stray arrows of the crossbow!

Two thousand five hundred troops began to fly kites and beat 10,000 crossbowmen, and you couldn't catch up with me, and the weapons were not as powerful as mine, so the cavalry lost very little!

The warhead of the rocket is not very powerful, not as big as a grenade, so even if it explodes around the crossbowman, it will not damage the crossbow, of course, it is impossible not to damage it at all, at least this battle will save eighty percent of the crossbow!

The cavalry launches rockets on horses, of course, the accuracy is not good, but the rocket explosion range is large, even if the accuracy is not good, as long as it is blown into the pile, it will be a dead and wounded!

Two thousand five hundred rockets were fired into the crossbowman's body in one go, and in an instant, a large number of dead and wounded were killed, and wails continued to come out of the crossbowman's mouth!

This rocket was launched, at least five thousand crossbowmen were consumed, and the deputy general immediately began to prepare to launch the second wave of rockets, and the blind man saw that the deputy general had succeeded, so he also prepared the rocket, ready to attack the Yidu army from behind, with the second wave of rockets of the five thousand cavalry, the Yiguo army has lost more than half, among which the crossbowmen are basically dead, the Yiguo army has not seen this kind of explosive weapon, and they are panicked, and the army has lost more than half, and the army's heart has been scattered, so they all fled in a hurry!
