Chapter 266: Defeat Agoura

"Woo woo woo ......" The Turkic cavalry heard Agoura's order and rushed over with a strange voice.

But Ashinayun was persuading Agoura, saying, "Why don't you send all the cavalry over, so that you may be able to break through the defense." However, you are definitely adding fuel to the fire! ”

As the daughter of the Khan, it would be impossible if she did not understand military affairs. Although he had not personally fought against Li Junxian's troops before, he had also heard of Li Junxian's combat methods. Anyway, it is a fight for consumption, the Turks are fighting for human lives, and Li Junxian is fighting for bows and crossbows and arrows. It depends on who has more "resources" on both sides.

However, in the Turks, human life is a very valuable resource. As for the Tang Dynasty, not only are there more bows and crossbows and arrows than them, but there are also more human lives than them, so the war of attrition is the most headache combat method for the Turks. Even if they were as powerful as the Mongols in later generations, they had to conquer Europe, and then they would dare to attack the territory of the Han Chinese only after gaining a large number of population resources. This is the advantage of the Han population, even if it is as powerful as the Mongols, they are afraid to a certain extent.

"Crossbowman steady, raise the crossbow, fire!"

"Whoosh ......" continued to rain arrows and shoot at the Turkic cavalry.

"Ahhh......h

It didn't take long for those Turkic cavalry to lose a few hundred men.

"Retreat!" The Turkic commander on the spot shouted.

Soon, the Turks retreated, and the generals went to receive orders.

"Leader Agoura, we can't rush through! The Han people's arrow rain was so dense that they lost hundreds of people in just a few moments. If I hadn't withdrawn early, a thousand of us would have been wiped out. The Turkic general said.

Agoura was furious: "Waste, can't you stand up to it? What's so great about the Han people's crossbows, just go through them. You, bring me 2,000 people again, and give me the bow and crossbow formation to break through the Han people again. I'd like to see. Cavalry is always the nemesis of infantry. I don't believe that infantry can defeat cavalry in the open. ”

It is very normal for Agoura to have this kind of thinking, just like the warships of later generations. It is clear that the aircraft carriers have already played their part and sunk the battleships one after another. However, there are still some people who hold the old idea of cannon giant ships, thinking that cannon giant ships are still the mainstream of the battlefield. This kind of person has been thinking for many years, and he can't change it completely. Agoura was born during the most powerful period of the Turkic people, and bullied the Han people very badly, so he despised the Han people.

Moreover, he was also born in the period of invincibility of cavalry, so he thought that his cavalry was invincible. The infantry of the Han Chinese could not be an opponent of cavalry at all. He couldn't believe that the infantry could defeat the cavalry head-on, which was a ridiculous statement in his eyes. Now, he still didn't want to believe the facts in front of him, so he thought that it was better to send someone to attack once, and this time he would definitely be able to break through the enemy's bow and crossbow arrows.

"Leader Agoura?"

"Hurry up, or you will be court-martialed!" Agoura shouted.

"Turkic warriors, follow me!"

"Ready, release the arrows!"

"Whoosh ......"

"Ahhh......h

This time, it was a continuous rain of arrows. Let those Turks suffer a lot. And those two thousand Turks, in less than three minutes, were wiped out by a thousand. The 1,000 Turks who were shot down from their horses were not mainly shot to death by Dugumou's infantry, but were trampled to death by the cavalry behind after being shot off their horses. But. These are all military exploits that can be regarded as the city's lonely strategy.

"Retreat!" A woman's voice came.

This time it was the Turkic princess Ashinayun who gave the order, and when he saw that the cavalry was so badly damaged, he immediately ordered a retreat.

"Leader of Agoura, I am a Turkic princess. Take over your tribe for the time being, and from now on, this tribe will listen to me. ”

Ashina Yun listened. Immediately ordered: "A thousand cavalry are on standby at the front, do not charge." For the rest of the cavalry, give me to attack the Han from the flank, and do not face their arrows head-on. If the Han changed the infantry formation, the cavalry on the front would charge me. ”

Ashinayun's method is indeed more suitable, because if a large force is sent to confront Dugumou's infantry head-on, then Dugumou's infantry on the front will not be able to change the formation. Ashinayun discovered the weakness of this queue shooting, that is, it is difficult to change the formation. If you want to change from the East Face to the West Face of the whole team, it will take a long time. Even, unable to shoot in this process, is the weakest time.

And Ashina Yun ordered the remaining 2,000 cavalry to sneak attack Li Junxian's infantry from the flank, so that it could play the role of a two-sided attack. At that time, no matter which aspect Dugumou's infantry attacked, I am afraid it would be problematic. If you attack the cavalry on that flank, you will inevitably have to change your formation. But once the formation is changed, the 1,000 cavalry on the front will take the opportunity to rush over in the process. When the time comes, it will be a nightmare for the infantry.

This bow and crossbow version of the queue shot is certainly powerful. But once the formation is changed, it is the best time for the enemy cavalry to attack. Once the enemy's cavalry attacks, it will probably be the end of the infantry. Moreover, Li Junxian only compensated the soldiers with a long knife in order to let the soldiers use the bow and crossbow. If it's melee against infantry, I'm afraid it can still be faced.

But if the enemy is cavalry, then the long knives that Li Junxian gave to the infantry are also a very fatal problem. Any class of troops has its strengths and weaknesses, Li Junxian has tapped the potential of the crossbow soldier to the peak, but the consequence is that the melee ability is very tricky, once he is close to the cavalry, it is better to commit suicide or surrender quickly, there is no second ending.

Obviously, Ash Nayun also saw this, and knew that most of the cavalry melee abilities trained by Li Junxian were very clumsy, so he wanted to take a two-sided attack, and once the crossbow soldiers changed formations, I am afraid that they would not please both sides, and the Turkic cavalry would attack them from both sides.

Ashina Yun thought secretly: "If you can use this method to crack the Han people's bow and crossbow array, then there is no problem with losing this tribe." Now the main Han people's bow and crossbow array has no way to crack, so it is very harmful to our Turkic cavalry. If I use this method to break the formation, then neither Jieli nor my father will lose this tribe at that time. When the time comes, I will be the hero of the Turks, and my father will not marry me.
