Chapter 11: The Battle of Three Levels 7
Qi Luosheng raised his clairvoyance again and looked at it carefully, confirming that there were not many people on the other side, before nodding and saying, "It's good to teach them a lesson!" Otherwise, I always think that there is no way to take them without cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, every time I want to come, I can leave if I want to, and let them see it today, our infantry in the Great Song Dynasty can also bully the cavalry! ”
In this way, Dou Shu, you take your brigade out to get him a guy, but you can't leave the range of five hundred meters, understand? ”
"Subordinates obey!" After Dou rate clicked upright, he excitedly ran back to his team, and led a thousand people out of the gate in unison.
At this time, Xiao Langgu, who was still licking his wounds, also noticed the abnormal movement of the Song army's camp, he thought that the Song army was going to kill the general, and was about to take his men to slip away, but only a thousand people ran over.
He couldn't bear it, he was scared of the Song Army's bow and arrow before, but he didn't expect to see it for a few years, and the level of the Song Army's playing with bows and arrows rose sharply. But this doesn't mean that you, the infantryman, can compete with our cavalry, just send such a few infantry, do you really think that your thousand cavalry are vegetarians!
Are cavalrymen afraid of infantry? It's a joke. Even the soldiers of the Liao Army who had just suffered defeat, seeing such a shameless provocation by the Song Army, did not need Xiao Qiaogu to boost any morale, and that morale was naturally full in an instant.
Xiao Jugu had a long memory this time, and decided not to resist other people's bows and arrows anymore, and repeatedly confirmed that the Song army that ran out had reached the edge of being attacked by the bed crossbow at the beginning, so he rushed over with his soldiers. Don't look at Song Jun holding so many shields, he doesn't care at all, he believes that the cavalry rushes up, it only takes one round, and those shields of Song Jun are all scum.
"All stand upright, the hedgehog array is ready, and the shield is erected! Vertical guns! When Dou Shu saw Xiao Langgu taking the bait, he immediately stopped and set up a hedgehog formation for him in minutes.
Titicaca, after a loud sound, all the shield soldiers inserted the tip of the V-shaped shield into the soil, and stuck the spears into the set card slot, and a barbed shield wall stood on the road of the Liao army's charge in an instant.
After completing this basic action, Dou Shu ordered again: "All crossbowmen obey the order, and prepare for two hundred meters of shooting...... Launch! ”
As Dou Shu took the lead in shooting the arrows of the divine arm crossbow in his hand, three hundred crossbowmen and one hundred squad leaders kept throwing their arrows.
"Whoop! Come back! Nima, where did a thousand people get so many arrows? Xiao Langgu was still puzzled in his heart, but the situation did not allow him to find the answer, so he had to quickly order: "Pay attention to dodge arrows!" Speed up the charge! ”
At this time, the cavalry of the Liao army was mainly based on leather armor, and the defensive ability was limited, and in the past, the archers of the Song army usually relied on their superb riding skills to dodge, and this trick was also the exclusive skill of the nomads, and the effect was really good. But the premise is that the other party can't have too many archers, otherwise the dense arrows are all stunts!
Of course, this was not a problem before, although Song Jun was good at making weapons such as bows and arrows, it did not mean that archers were so easy to train. Archers not only have high requirements for physical fitness, but also need to be honed for a long time before they can really point and fight. And the archer also has a fatal flaw, that is, the sustained ability is relatively poor, after all, normal people can't shoot many times! Well, don't think crookedly.
Zhao Zhen was equipped with a large number of crossbows, not so much to improve the ability to shoot continuously, but to liberate the restrictions on the selection of soldiers. With the labor-saving design of the repeater, even an ordinary soldier can pull dozens of times, so much so that the standard configuration of the repeater is now five arrow magazines (50 arrows).
Xiao Rugu led the soldiers to play acrobatics all the way and rushed over against the rain of arrows, although they were all working hard to perform, but there were still many arrows that did not give face, and shot them directly in the face. When they were finally glad that they had rushed through the death zone of the rain of arrows, they found that half of their compatriots had put on the last show of their lives.
However, when they were about to raise their butcher knives to avenge their burp compatriots, they found that the seemingly thin shield wall in front of them had actually withstood the impact of their own cavalry.
This is also unscientific! If they knew the science, they would have said so.
The collision against the cavalry is the basic subject of the field army training, and Dou Rate and his soldiers have also been assessed many times, but in the face of this actual battle, everyone still sweated tightly, but fortunately, the battle situation did not exceed the expected range.
"The second row of shieldmen stepped forward and stabbed!" Dou Shu seized the fighter plane and immediately gave the order.
However, this time it had little effect, compared to the Song army used this trick before, the Liao soldiers avoided the edge with their skilled equestrianism, and only a few unlucky people once again served as the target of the Song army's training.
Xiao Rugu saw that the loss was so big, and he was also anxious in his heart, if he couldn't kill these Song Jun in front of him, let alone say anything about the merits, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. However, Song Jun's turtle tactics have become more and more refined, and in the past, they would only shrink in the city wall, but now they dare to come out and wander around with a shield, which is worthy of praise!
But how to break through this turtle formation now?
Xiao Rugu took the remaining Liao army to circle around the Song army, fighting back with bows and arrows, while thinking about how to break the enemy.
At this time, he found a detail, the Song soldiers who shot him with arrows just now, he thought that their arrows were used up, but he didn't expect them to find a long wooden box from behind and put it on the strange thing in their hands, and he couldn't help but have a very bad thought in his heart!
"Retreat! Fall back! Speed retreat! Xiao Rugu was finally not hot-headed this time, and he also gave the first correct order in this battle.
Sure enough, when they turned around and galloped wildly, the crossbowmen who had already ceased fire began to shoot wildly again. This time, they ran in time, and except for a few who were shot off their horses at the rear, most of them rushed out of the range of the repeater unharmed.
This time, Xiao Langgu did not choose to stop, and retreated in one go, just in time to meet the other 5,000 cavalry hanging behind.
Dou Shu was about to lead people to chase them again, but at this time, there was an order from the rear for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and he had to quickly return to the camp with his soldiers.
"Commander, my subordinates are having a good time! Why are you calling the little one back? When Dou Shu returned to the camp, he hurriedly ran to Qi Luosheng and asked excitedly.
Qi Luosheng pointed ahead with his finger: "See for yourself!" The reinforcements of the Liao army are coming, and they don't call you back, you really want to be made dumplings! ”
"Hey, hey!" Dou Shuohan smiled: "That can't be!" ”
Kira gave him a blank look: "Let's talk about it!" How did you feel about this hand-to-hand encounter? What about the casualties of our soldiers? ”
Dou rate: "Don't hide it from the adults, when the little ones first saw the Liao army charging, their legs were still a little trembling, but fortunately, our well-designed shield wall blocked them, otherwise it would be difficult for our infantry to compete with the cavalry." As for the casualties, my subordinates took a look at it, and there were still 100 shield soldiers in our army who were hit head-on by the cavalry and suffered internal injuries, and they couldn't fight again for a short time. Fifty-seven soldiers were killed by the bows and arrows of the Liao army, and there were no less than a hundred brothers who hung colors, and their bows and arrows were still quite sharp! ”
"In this way, the Liao army has been in the army for so many years, and their old business has not been left behind!" Qi Luosheng sighed.
When the commander of the Liao army who came from behind saw the tragic scene of his boss, he was so frightened that he fell off his horse, and crawled to Xiao Qiaogu and cried: "Be sure and steady, it's too late for your humble position, please forgive your sins!" ”
Although this matter is not the fault of this commander, but according to the rules of Liao, if his boss has a problem, he will inevitably be cut, not to mention that after he is still a famous general, no wonder he will be afraid.
"Get up and speak!"
Xiao Langgu didn't teach him a lesson for the first time, maybe he was still a little self-aware, knowing that he didn't do what Xiao Xiaoxian wanted, and he insisted on getting rid of the rear army to become what he is now, and he was embarrassed to blame his subordinates.
Captain Wan found that he hadn't been whipped this time, so he had the courage to come to Xiao Xiaogu and asked in a low voice, "Detailed, have you fallen for the Song army's tricks?" The subordinates will take people to destroy them and vent their evil anger for you! ”
Xiao Langgu said angrily: "This is all on the road, you can be useful!" Are you better than Ben Shen? ”
"No, no!" Captain Wan hurriedly denied it, and gave him a few mouths: "Please calm your anger carefully!" It's the little one who said the wrong thing. ”
Xiao Langu: "Okay! Let's go back today first, and wait for Ben to discuss it with the king. ”
"Yes, sure! You please! Captain Wan agreed, and opened the way for him.
Before leaving, Xiao Langgu glanced back at the Song military camp behind him, his eyes were full of complicated emotions.
At this time, in the Song army camp, a staff officer also came to report the latest military situation: "Report to the commander, the Liao army has all retreated!" ”
Kira: "Got it! Immediately send scouts to keep on guard, clean up the battlefield, collect arrows, count the results and casualties, and send a battle report to the headquarters! ”
"Yes!" The staff officer saluted and strode away.
At noon on the second day of Song Liao's war, Zhi Weizheng received another good news and was sharing this joy with Zhang Yaozuo.
"Lord Zhang, you have read the battle report this time! Now it's time to believe in the combat power of our field army! Zhi Weizheng said to Zhang Yaozuo with a smile: "Look, this time, our Qinglong 3rd Army is fighting with the cavalry of the Liao Army in the field!" ”
Everyone was happy to win the battle, and Zhang Yaozuo didn't care about Zhe Weizheng's jokes, but pointed to the statistics of the military newspaper and asked: "Lord Zhe, is there still something that this official doesn't understand?" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Speak, sir!" ”
Zhang Yaozuo: "It is written in this military newspaper that the Qinglong 3rd Army killed and wounded more than 4,000 cavalry members of the Liao Army, and its own losses were no more than 100 people. This is almost the same as General Di's results, but they are obviously defending the city and the other is fighting in the field, how is this possible? This guy named Kira Sheng won't lie about the military! ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Lord Zhang, please rest assured on this, as long as our field army is at the squadron level and above, there are military judges, they will supervise all the actions of the military supervisor and report it in time, no one dares to do anything about this kind of thing." As for the question you asked, Xia Guan can answer it, mainly because you only paid attention to the data and did not see the details described in it. General Di's battle, although there is a city wall, but the enemy is 50,000 people, even if you can't attack at the same time, but it is definitely more than this time, plus General Di fought more gently, leaving a lot of back. And this Kira Sheng is different, their 3rd Army only has to face 5,000 people, and this guy has used all the means he can use, so he can kill and injure a large number of enemies in a short time. ”
"I see! It seems that you are fighting a war now, and many things are not quite the same as what is said in the war book! The official also has to study hard! Zhang Yaozuo also made a good excuse for himself.
"Your Excellency, you are too modest!" Zhen Weizheng didn't break him, and still complimented him very politely.
On the Liao army's side, Xiao Xiaoxian heard that Xiao Xiaogu, who had been sent out to test the test, had only come back after half a day's effort, and hurriedly went to the door to take a look, which also stunned him.
This time, it was Xiao Langgu's turn to kneel in front of him and cry: "King, the young general has lost the battle, please punish the king!" ”
Xiao Xiaoxian is not a reckless man, how can he allow him to disturb the morale of the army at the gate like this, and hurriedly shouted him out of the house, and then asked, "What the hell is going on?" This king asked you to take 10,000 cavalry out, and it was only half a day, and you came back with half of them, but what about the rest of the soldiers? ”
Xiao Langgu knelt on the ground again, and whimpered aggrievedly: "King, the little general is guilty!" Those brothers are gone! ”
"Gone?" Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's the point?" The Song army is only 10,000 or 20,000 people, even if they have an ambush, they can still eat your 5,000 cavalry? (To be continued.) )
