Chapter 325: Battle of Iron Mountain (20)

According to the first step of a normal war, the first thing is to ask the main general to come out and say a few words, so Li Junxian and Jieli both fought in front of the battle, and then began to shout. However, Li Junxian and Jieli were both people who were afraid of death, so they didn't go into the range of each other's bows and arrows, but just chanted at a distance of hundreds of meters.

"Li Junxian, I have an army of 200,000 Turks, you better surrender quickly, I can spare your life. When the time comes, not only will I not care about my past suspicions, but I can also reuse it with you. At that time, you will be the hero of our Turks, and my Turks will definitely not let the heroes be wronged. Jieli shouted first.

This Jieli still didn't forget to surrender Li Junxian, so that there would be no need to fight this battle. Even, perhaps, it will be possible to take this army for its own use. But Li Junxian could not surrender Jieli, not to mention whether this was treason, but to say that the soldiers behind him would not agree. The families of those soldiers are all in the Central Plains, and if they dare to surrender to the Turks with Li Junxian, then I am afraid that their families will be unlucky. If Li Junxian dared to surrender to the Turks, then those soldiers under his command would not let him go at all.

"Jieli Khan, you don't need to say more, I won't surrender, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield!" Li Junxian didn't say anything, just shouted.

Jieli saw that Li Junxian refused to agree to surrender, which was not surprising to him, so he immediately returned to his army. And Li Junxian also returned to his army, and then prepared to mobilize the army to meet the enemy.

Jieli first said: "Turkic warriors, we will divide into three ways to attack the Han people and catch the Han people by surprise!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the 60,000 Turks divided into three ways to attack and prepare to attack Li Junxian. And Li Junxian passed the reconnaissance staff on the hot air balloon and soon knew Jieli's thoughts. Li Junxian also photographed his three infantry regiments on the east three sides. The infantry regiment was in the south, that is, in front of the Turks. And Su Dingfang is in charge of the east, and Dugumou is in charge of the west. As for the backside, there is a mountainous area, and there is no need to defend it. There were no special forces in this era, so Li Junxian didn't have to worry about Jieli sending people to attack him from the mountains. And when I chose this place as a position, I hoped to have a geographical advantage. You don't have to be besieged on all sides.

"Jieli only sent 60,000 people to attack this time, why didn't he send all 18 people to attack?" Liao Jian, the minister of the logistics department, asked puzzled.

This question is actually not a profound problem, Li Junxian immediately explained: "In fact, there are many troops, and it is not necessarily possible to send them out to fight at one time. In our era of cold weapon warfare, battles are all flat, and what can be hit each time is only the contact surface of the two sides. You should have studied arithmetic, but in fact, combat is about contact. Our army and the enemy's army put on a pattern, and then the competition is the strength of the contact surface. The strength of the rear cannot directly act on the front, so even if Jieli sends more than 200,000 troops to attack together, it is only those tens of thousands of troops who can actually contact us. Since ancient times. Our so-called formation is to increase or decrease the contact surface of the enemy, which can have various effects of increasing the attack power or enhancing the defense. ”

Li Junxian did not forget to popularize knowledge to everyone at this time, that is, the core idea of the so-called formation in ancient times. In fact, the ancient formation is not as mysterious as the legend, in fact, the formation is also an increase or decrease in the contact surface with the enemy, so that the limited force can be increased by increasing the contact surface, so that all the forces can be used as much as possible.

Defense, on the other hand, is to reduce the contact surface, so that the enemy can only blame a small number of people for each attack. It's much less efficient. This is the real core meaning of the so-called formation in ancient times, but the ancients made it mysterious, as if they were unpredictable. In fact, many mathematicians in later generations were able to come up with a lot of formations that looked very sophisticated. Any formation in antiquity is also a kind of use of geometric scholarship. Even if they have studied for many years, they are not as good as a mathematics student in later generations.

"General Li, are the 200,000 and 670,000 numbers the same?" Liao Tao continued to ask.

Li Junxian nodded and said, "Yes!" Whether it's 60,000 or 70,000, or nearly 200,000. It's all the same for our contact surfaces. The only ones they can fight us with are the cavalry in front, and the cavalry in the back is not the best. So, we just have to strike at the frontal enemy. The Turkic bows and arrows are very ineffective against us, we don't have to worry. What's more, the Turks did not have heavy cavalry, and we were not afraid. ”

But as soon as Li Junxian finished speaking, Ash Nayun said: "Junxian, Jieli has heavy cavalry. ”

"What? Jieli has heavy cavalry? Mulan exclaimed.

If Jieli has heavy cavalry, then I'm afraid things are a bit big. Originally, Li Junxian bullied the Turks because they didn't have heavy cavalry and bows and arrows, but now that the Turks have heavy cavalry, I'm afraid the problem will be a lot more serious. As soon as the Turks attacked with heavy cavalry as arrows and light cavalry, it was probably dangerous.

"How many heavy cavalry are there in Jieli! If there are too many, we are in danger. Li Junxian immediately asked.

Ashinayun replied: "Jieli originally suffered the loss of your mixed light and heavy cavalry in the territory of the Han people, so Ott will immediately form a heavy cavalry when he returns. But the cost of heavy cavalry was much greater, and the Turks lacked steel and could not provide much. More than half a year ago, I had only heard that there were hundreds of heavy cavalry in Jieli. ”

Mulan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's only a few hundred, if there are too many of us, I'm afraid we will all die here." ”

Mulan is not worried, because Lao Li Junxian has already invented a weapon to deal with heavy cavalry, which is a good thing to deal with heavy cavalry. But these things are not too much, so if the Turks have too many heavy cavalry, it will not be useful. Fortunately, the Turks were severely short of steel and had problems with their internal organizational structure, so they were unable to raise a large number of troops. The heavy cavalry is like the heavy tanks of later generations, the maintenance cost is very high, and the non-powerful countries can't afford to raise it, and the Turks can't afford to raise too much!

However, Jieli definitely did not expect that Li Junxian would develop something to restrain the heavy cavalry, and this Jieli would probably suffer.

"Uhh

And Li Junxian and the others also left the camp and came under the hot air balloon, ready to accept the intelligence of those reconnaissance staff officers at any time and accurately command the army to fight. (To be continued......)
