Chapter 016: Road Attack

There was an eagle roar in the sky, and a goshawk came out through the clouds, hovering around the sky, recognizing the specific standard of Yang Hao's roof, and suddenly gathered its wings and projected down. Yang Hao took off the bamboo tube tied to the eagle's foot, pulled out the stopper, poured out a roll of paper from it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, took a piece of charcoal strip with his hand, replied a few words on the note, stuffed it into the bamboo tube again, tied it to the eagle's foot, waved his arm, and the eagle spread its wings and flew away.

Only then did Yang Hao turn his head and say to Mu En, who was riding his horse by the side of the car: "Yelu Xian, the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, has already sent troops, and the army will arrive at Yinzhou City in two days. ”

Mu En was overjoyed and said happily: "They sent troops? I don't know how many troops Yelu has commanded this time? ”

Yang Hao said: "Yelu Xian led 50,000 elite soldiers of the Sixth Academy, and another 20,000 auxiliary soldiers escorted various siege equipment to follow. ”

"The Sixth Courtyard of Diera, ......"

Mu En stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Khitan soldiers and horses are composed of the palace tent army, the big leader tribal army, the tribal army, the Wujing Township Ding and the ** parts, the most elite of which is the palace tent army, and the palace tent army is the most elite in the five courtyards and the six courtyards of Diera, and now the soldiers and horses of the five courtyards are guarding Beijing, Xiao Niangniang sent the most elite of the six courtyards in the southern courtyard army, and sure enough, as the festival commander expected, the Khitan Xiao Niangniang refused to give King Qing a chance to breathe, so that he had the opportunity to sit big, this thorn in the eye, She couldn't wait to pull it out. ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly, and said: "We can speed up the trip now, send orders to the three armies, speed up, and strive to meet Yelu at the foot of Yinzhou City in two days." ”

"Yes!" Mu En clenched his fists and screamed, just about to pass the order, there was a scream in the sky, and suddenly a branch of Mingdi shot out, with a terrible whistling sound breaking through the air, Yang Hao couldn't help but stand up, and said in surprise: "Encounter the enemy ahead?" ”

The three armies immediately stopped advancing, the Chinese army was stationed in place, cast obstacles, and arranged a formation, one army from the back to the left flank, the other army probed to the right flank, in the shape of a crane wing and echoed with the Chinese army, this is a kind of formation with both offensive and defensive, and the convoy transporting grain and grass and siege equipment behind was hindered by vehicles and utensils, and began to lay out a semi-circular formation, echoing with it, and the whole team quickly changed from a marching state to a combat state.

After a while, a horse flew in front of him, stopped in front of Yang Hao's car, and shouted with his fists on the horse: "Report ...... Jie Shuai, there was a large group of people in front of him, and he was playing the banner of Yinzhou. ”

Yang Hao asked, "How many people are there?" How far is that? ”

"At least there are no less than 20,000 people, and there are still twenty miles from here." ”

Yang Hao waved his hand and said, "Explore again!" ”

The spy got on his horse and left, Yang Hao raised his eyebrows, and said: "This King Qing, I really underestimated him, and he dared to take the initiative to attack and send half of his soldiers and horses to intercept me." ”

At this time, Ke Zhenwei and Mu Kui and other generals all rode around, and Mu En hurriedly said: "The enemy has 20,000 horsemen, twice as many troops as me, and our army has so many burdens and drags, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the enemy, and the commander ......."

Ke Zhen said evilly: "Fifteen miles west here, there is a mountain pass, why don't we transfer the army, hold on to the mountain, and the enemy army will raid, so as not to delay for a long time." ”

Mu Kui said: "I am mostly foot soldiers, and there are a large number of chariots and horses, the speed is slow, I am afraid that before we reach the mountain pass, we will be caught up by the enemy, Jie Shuai, it is better to give me a horse, I will go to the front to block them desperately, and the Jie Shuai will protect the baggage and find a good place to camp." ”

"Calm down, you have to be calm."

This is the first time Yang Hao led the army to fight against the regular army that is good at cavalry warfare, he was not without apprehension in his heart, he forced himself to calm down, think about it carefully, frankly speaking, his current command and dispatch can only be said to be decent, he is not an experienced general, the miscellaneous and miscellaneous ancient tactical characteristics that he knew from the historical materials before are not to be ashamed, and it is impossible to make him a military god, what future generations of scholars can know, the soldiers who fought with the enemy in bloody battles at that time really don't know? They understand better than anyone else, but understanding is one thing, whether it can be cracked is another, combat experience, the ability to change his ability is far from enough, this time to send troops, he was originally holding the attitude of the whole attack to the whole defense, I did not expect that in this case, King Qing still has the courage to take the initiative to send troops, his soldiers are seventy percent of the recruits, well-equipped, long-term training, but no actual combat experience, this first battle, once the command mistakes or the wind falls, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he tried his best to maintain a calm state of mind, pondered the key points of retreat in the book of soldiers, and ordered: "Okay, Commander Mu will lead a group of soldiers and horses to intercept it, Ke Tuan will practice guarding the westward retreat, and the commander will lead the Chinese army to respond from the middle, retreat alternately, and don't panic." ”

"The last general obeys!" The two generals each received their orders, and they wanted to gallop away, but Yang Hao turned his head and saw the sun in the sky, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Wait!" ”

All the generals looked at Yang Hao, Yang Hao hit the wheel with his scabbard, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The defenders of Yinzhou are attacking at this time, because we are already close to Yinzhou, and the tribes of Hengshan and Qiang and grassland listen to my Luzhou orders, so they dare not attack us far from the foundation." ”

The generals didn't know what Yang Hao meant by this, they all looked at each other, and Yang Hao said: "Yinzhou dispatched half of the elite soldiers, and invested a huge amount of money, the purpose is nothing more than to defeat us, avoid the enemy on both sides, and at the worst, it will also severely defeat the spirit of our army and destroy our baggage." However, the Khitan army is approaching, tens of thousands of troops are marching, Yinzhou will not hear the news, they are now sending half of the people, Yinzhou City must be empty, relatively speaking, of course, the foundation is important, so King Qing's men and horses must return to Yinzhou to defend the city before the Khitan soldiers and horses arrive, it is already afternoon, they only have a chance to strike, just a blow, their advantages may not be brought into play, we may have the strength to fight. ”

Ke Zhen said evilly: "Jie Shuai, if they hurry back, it will be too late to return from tomorrow morning, even if we survive this afternoon, if we fight at night, we will be even more disadvantaged if we protect the baggage and move inconveniently, for the sake of safety, the Jie Shuai should still lead the baggage chariots and horses to find a favorable place to occupy first, so as to defend themselves." ”

At this time, another fast horse galloped and reported in a loud voice: "Commander, the enemy has reached eighteen miles away." ”

Yang Hao asked, "Have they ever sped up?" ”

The probe said: "The enemy cavalry is still moving slowly, but they should have mastered the location of our army, and the formation is gradually changing. ”

Yang Hao listened to it and became more and more convinced of his judgment, and said: "They will not attack at night, Ke Tuanlian, this is not as simple as leading dozens of hunters, secretly going up the mountain to dig pits and setting triplines at night, fighting at night, only with the command of musical instruments, even if it is a well-trained army, it is easy to break up in night battles, not to mention that the enemies are all cavalry, coming and going quickly, and it is even more inconvenient for the main general to command and dispatch, this battle, we lost, they still have the strong enemy of Yelu Xian, if they lose, it will be much more difficult to defend Yinzhou with only 20,000 people, They didn't dare take the risk. ”

He stood up and said loudly: "Order, the three armies will form a formation to defend themselves and wait for the enemy in place!" ”

The generals roared and rushed back to their positions. As soon as the formation was laid, the earth began to tremble, and the Yinzhou cavalry had launched an attack formation, the speed was getting faster and faster, and they were pressed down on Yang Hao's subordinates who were defending themselves.

"King Khitan Qing is not a mediocre person."

Looking at the dense shock formation, Zhe Ziyu, who was dressed as an ordinary school captain, frowned and said, "At this time, it is really unexpected that King Qing dared to dispatch half of his men to attack first. Yang Hao is mostly a foot soldier, even if he is mainly cavalry and has so many baggage to take care of, it is difficult to avoid the enemy's edge and give full play to the advantage of the rangers. The enemy army is outnumbered by him, and this battle is the first battle since the formation of the army in Luzhou, if he suffers a big loss, the morale of the army will be difficult to contain. ”

Beside her, a young man dressed as a lieutenant was exactly Zhi Weizheng, but he said appreciatively: "It is precisely because of so many burdens and burdens that are dragged down, and most of the troops are foot soldiers, if Captain Yang really leaves a group of men and horses to block the enemy, and the brigade of men and horses to avoid the danger, it will be too risky, the enemy is coming slowly, of course, it is to save horsepower, I am afraid that the greater purpose is to intimidate Captain Yang's men and horses, if Captain Yang really wants to take a large number of baggage to avoid the enemy's sharp edge, the formation is chaotic, at that time, the soldiers and horses of Yinzhou galloped over, first swallow the army he sent to intercept, Or make an army fight with it, and the main force will go around and approach the rear army, and then it will be very dangerous to take care of the beginning and the end.

Most of Captain Yang's army is a new army, and the new army has advantages and disadvantages, and the pros, the newborn calf, are full of vigor, and the disadvantages, have never suffered defeat, and once they fail, the army is defeated like a mountain, and only with his 3,000 elites who have experienced a hundred battles, they will not be able to play a role at that time. Now that Captain Yang has formed a formation to resist the enemy, he can promote his strengths and avoid his shortcomings, if he talks about combat power, Luzhou people and horses will not be weaker than Yinzhou Iron Cavalry, if he talks about equipment, Luzhou people and horses are stronger than more than a chip and a half, Luzhou soldiers and horses are all piled up with money, and I am afraid that I can't last this half a day. It must be known that the weakness of Captain Yang is a large number of baggage, while the weakness of the Yinzhou soldiers and horses is that they only have half a day's combat time. ”

Excerpt Ziyu looked back at the rear team that had formed a semi-circle formation with heavy vehicles, and said lightly: "You are right, Yang Hao's burden is his baggage, now Yang Hao is not fooled, put on an offensive and defensive position to delay time, but unfortunately although his command is decent, there is still a big flaw, he welcomes more with less, does not dare to divide the troops, the main force is in front, the cavalry director, it is to find the weakness of the enemy formation, quickly move to attack, if this Yinzhou soldiers and horses have a little brain, the front attack is frustrated, then around his rear road, Burn the grain and grass equipment, and fight from the back into the ......"

Zhi Weizheng rolled his eyes, touched his chin and said, "Little aunt, do you want to remind him?" ”

Excerpt Ziyu raised his chin and said disdainfully: "Yang Hao has just fought a few Qiang villages, and his eyes are above the top, he thinks he is a general who has won a hundred battles, he has built a government and opened a mansion, and his soldiers are mighty, even your father and Yang Chongxun are rushing to beat him, people are so capable, do you still need us to make plans for him?" ”

Zhi Wei was sniffing, and he seemed to have a big jar of old vinegar in front of him, and he laughed dryly and said: "Yes, yes, Yang Hao doesn't know what to do, he is arrogant, and he deserves some lessons, but ...... Ahem, if the enemy cavalry breaks the formation, we will inevitably be implicated, the nephew is not helping him, it is for our own sake, let him suffer, there will be opportunities in the future, little aunt, don't you say? ”

Zhi Ziyu snorted coldly, twisted his face to the side and stopped answering him, Zhi Weizheng laughed twice, and then pulled out his feet and ran......β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€» the whole earth trembled, from the initial slowdown, they all galloped and rushed, tens of thousands of war horses made the whole earth tremble under their feet, Yang Hao's camp did not move, and the two thousand men and horses placed in the Chinese army were Li Guangcen's descendants, they had been killed for a long time, so they naturally did not put this kind of power in their eyes.

Yang Hao put them in front of the Chinese army to face the enemy, it was also out of this consideration, his soldiers said that they were elite soldiers, but they were well-equipped and had carried out a lot of formal training, but they had not gone through the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, and they were not a mature army after all. Although victory and defeat are a common thing for soldiers, but Yang Hao can't be defeated now, the army next to him is the majority of veterans, veterans lead new soldiers, Yang Hao's army is the majority of new soldiers, this first battle must not be chaotic, must not be defeated, it is for this consideration that he refused to escape, and an orderly retreat is something that only veterans of a hundred battles can do, otherwise it is likely to be slaughtered by the Yinzhou Iron Cavalry like a sheep.

The enemy army is menacing, although the two wings of the army are not facing their charge, or there is some commotion under the invisible pressure, but the stability of the Chinese army gives them great confidence, the handsome flag fluttering high makes them quickly stabilized, seeing that the enemy cavalry is getting closer and closer, the Chinese army suddenly launched dozens of crossbow cars, eight hundred steps, seven hundred steps, the enemy cavalry is less than six hundred steps away, Mu Kui's hand pointed the big gun forward, the machine was fired continuously, and a giant arrow as thick as a spear roared out, With a sharp whistling like a tear that shattered the eardrums, he pounced on the enemy group, and the galloping horses immediately turned on their backs.

The cavalry in front fell to the ground, and the cavalry behind couldn't stop the speed, so they trampled on it fiercely, many people fell off their horses, and the wedge-shaped attack formation was blunt, and the enemy immediately spread the formation, whether it was horizontal or longitudinal, the distance between the knights was scattered, this Yinzhou cavalry was also a long-standing battle formation, the impact speed did not decrease at all, and the ballista was still firing, but the killing effect was not as obvious as it was.

The banner of the Chinese army waved again, and the crossbowmen of the Chinese army with two wings immediately took off the bows and crossbows, they used a first-grade bow, the range was far above the ordinary bow and arrow, and the ordinary bow and arrow were fired between two and three rounds, and the enemy cavalry could rush to the front and turn to hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a first-grade bow, even if the bow horse was not skilled enough for the warriors, at least it could increase the chance of a round of shooting, the bowstring was noisy like rain, the arrows did not need to be aimed, and the dense attack made the enemy horses fall off their horses, and before they got close, they paid a greater degree of attrition, and most importantly, After a series of blows from the crossbow and the crossbow, their impact was greatly affected.

The Yinzhou Iron Cavalry never expected that the bow and crossbow in Yang Hao's army would be so powerful, this moment of kung fu has made them pay a huge price, but the sacrifice of their companions is worth it, they are getting closer and closer, the bow and crossbow are about to lose their effect, as long as they let their light cavalry rush over, it will be a one-sided slaughter scene, when their iron cavalry torrent passes through Yang Hao's army, what will be left will be a stump and broken arm.

Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing towards with the murderous aura of Chong Xiao, the Chinese camp seemed to be shaken, the ballista was pushed to both sides in a panic, and the soldiers began to retreat one after another, Yinzhou Iron Cavalry smiled fiercely, his bloodthirsty eyes stared at the enemy in front of him, and the steel knives in his hands were raised in unison.

Suddenly, the Luzhou soldiers in front retreated at a faster speed, and at the same time, a group of soldiers steadily interspersed between them, step by step, they were dressed differently from ordinary soldiers, the crossbowmen only wore a piece of leather armor, but they were wearing full-body iron armor, burly figures, heavy steps, although the earth was trembling, their steps were steady and dignified, and soon, they lined up side by side, followed by the second and third rows...... "Heavy infantry? Will the hoplites be able to stop us? ”

The Khitan soldiers did not have the slightest fear, but clenched the knife in their palms more excitedly, and their hips slightly left the horse's back, ready to give the Luzhou army a little color in the collision and slashing.

At this moment, the heavy infantry suddenly shouted in unison and raised the broadsword in his hand.

"What is this?"

"Brush!"

A row of large knives stood like a wall, and the dazzling sunlight reflected on the blades, piercing the eyes. The Khitan soldiers who rushed to the front widened their eyes in horror, compared to the row of terrifying broadswords in front of them, the scimitars in their hands were simply ridiculous toys. There was no time to have any extra thoughts, the war horse was still rushing forward, and a dazzling sword light slashed down head-on.

The rapid collision still had an effect, although the first row of heavy-armored Mo sword soldiers slashed the opponent, they were also hit by the strong momentum and fell backwards, some of them shook their hearts and intestines, spurting blood, but the whole formation was not chaotic, they were tightly resisted by the second row of soldiers, and the enemy cavalry that rushed over was also slashed by the sword soldiers, blocking the sprint pace of their follow-up iron horses.

The Mo knife players began to move forward step by step to the rhythm of the war drums, swinging, slashing, stepping, and swinging again...... This light cavalry was originally going to highlight the enemy formation, like a sharp knife passing through the formation, disrupting the defensive formation, and cutting the Luzhou soldiers and horses apart, but the light cavalry that had lost its impact advantage had completely lost its sharpness in the face of this irresistible knife formation. At the same time, the soldiers on both wings picked up their spears and battle axes, stabbed the enemy soldiers upward, cut the legs of horses down, and began to compress the middle...... Zhi Weizheng saw that his blood was full of blood, he clenched his fists, stared at the slaughter scene that fell on one side, and said eagerly: "It's too sharp, it's really invincible, it would be great if I had such a Modao team in Fuzhou!" ”

"Flashy!"

Excerpt Ziyu has become a professional fault-picker, along the way, it seems that she is uncomfortable if she doesn't find Yang Hao a little problem, she said coldly: "The heavy Mo sword soldiers have extremely high defense and attack power, but they lack sustained combat power, if they fight with the rangers in an open position, they can only follow behind the butts and eat ashes, and the rangers can drag you to death."

The Modao Formation is suitable for positional warfare, and requires the cooperation of archers, foot soldiers, and light cavalry to strike a powerful blow at a critical moment, disintegrate the enemy's shock formation and morale, and create a better chance for other horses to charge the formation, but the money and time spent on raising a thousand-person Modao team is enough to recruit and train an army of tens of thousands of people, and an army of tens of thousands of people is not enough to offset the power of a thousand-person Modao Formation?

Yang Hao is because of the limited territory of Luzhou and the limited number of troops, so he has to spend a lot of money to practice what Mo Dao Formation, if his territory is larger, and there are more soldiers and civilians under his command, from the most practical point of view, I believe he will not form any Mo Dao team. On the battlefield, who reacts the fastest, who can use the fastest speed to make up for their loopholes, find and attack the enemy's loopholes, lead the enemy's nose, who can master the initiative of the battlefield, who masters the initiative of the battlefield, even if they suffer some losses for a while, they can also achieve the final victory, and want to be the enemy of the nomadic tribes outside the Saiwai, there is only one ultimate magic weapon to win, to ride and ride, not the Mo Dao Formation. ”

Zhi Weizheng sighed softly and muttered to himself: "Raise the Mo Sword Formation, as long as you have money, raise cavalry, where do the horses come from?" The west set is good at raising horses, all in the hands of the party and Tubo, how to ride by riding? ”

Blood flowed wantonly, stumps and broken arms were thrown to the ground, the Mo knife hands lost about 100 people, but at least more than 1,000 horses died under their knives, but Yang Hao saw it in his eyes, he was still distressed, the loss rate of one to ten, this record was brilliant enough, especially this was the first time his Mo knife hand went into battle to meet the enemy, but his capital was limited, especially the Mo knife hand was not easy to cultivate, and he couldn't withstand such a squander.

Originally, this kind of attack of the Mo knife hand, the role is to quickly disintegrate the enemy's momentum, if it can be supplemented by light cavalry, in the opponent's retreat, the formation of chaos when the situation to pursue, will be able to maximize the results of the battle, but unfortunately Yang Hao's current hands are overstretched, only 10,000 soldiers and horses are all transferred to participate in the Yinzhou siege battle, there is no huge consumption at all, and a lot of manpower needs to be allocated to take care of the war horses that can not play the slightest role in the siege war, so when the Yinzhou iron cavalry turned around and broke through, the Mo knife soldiers stopped the pursuit, Only the crossbowmen pursued for a while, causing the enemy riders to pile down hundreds of dead bodies.

The enemy cavalry did not flee here, carrying a large number of baggage is the biggest weakness of Yang Hao's department, saying that he did not have a large number of light cavalry in hand, even if he had, he could not leave the baggage and chase wildly, so although he suffered a big loss in front of the Luzhou Modao array, but the Yinzhou cavalry could still retreat calmly, they retreated to the outside of the three arrows, and began to clean up the wounded and sort out the formation.

The victory in the first battle, and it was a step by step, suddenly raised the morale of the Luzhou army to the peak, although there were casualties on their own side, but looking at the more than 2,000 corpses left by the Yinzhou cavalry, every soldier was inexplicably excited, they began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner, and waited for the next wave of enemy cavalry to charge.

About half an hour later, the enemy cavalry suddenly launched a charge to the left flank, after a scuffle, they also found that Yang Hao's Chinese army is the most difficult bone to gnaw, and the fighters on the left and right wings of the fighter plane's capture, the experience of the battle is obviously lacking, this time, they took out the small round shield hanging on the horse, along an arc attack to the left flank, there is a chance to make a small group of cavalry close to hand-to-hand combat, there is no chance to gallop through the horse, flying horse shooting, this shooting, the ranger formation is evacuated, As far as Yang Hao's side relied on crossbow arrows, he did not take advantage of the slightest.

"They are attacking like this in order to disrupt our position, and we must guard against the attack of the right flank."

Zhen Ziyu watched the battle for a while, and suddenly Huo Ran realized that at this time, Mu En, who was familiar with the tactics of the outside of the Saiwai, had also discovered the fraud, and waved the command flag to warn the right flank. Sure enough, the enemy troops who were still resting in front suddenly launched an attack on the right flank when the attention of the three armies in Luzhou was all attracted to the left flank.

This attack, there is a real is virtual, virtual is real, the left and right wings are attacking, which side of the formation is the first to mess up, the original slight attack will become a real attack, the heavy crossbow and the slow-moving Modao array in this kind of slight touch, moving extremely fast in the confrontation is unable to mobilize in time to respond to the enemy, the hard-suffering Yinzhou cavalry has found a way to adapt, as long as they can't force them into the decisive circle, they can use the advantage of the rangers, avoid the terrible killing machine.

"Shrink your forces and form a circle to defend."

Yang Hao soon discovered the intention of the Yinzhou cavalry, and immediately issued an order, the two wings of the troops that had been somewhat loose under the attack of the Yinzhou cavalry began to shrink gradually, the rear formation shot arrows, and the front formation used swords and axes to resist the enemy, and the Chinese army put on a response position, and the crane wing formation gradually contracted, and the rear relied on the semi-circle of vehicles and equipment to form a semi-circle together, and gradually formed a rudimentary form of a square circle.

The victory in the first battle not only boosted the morale of the party, but also delayed the time, the sun has set in the west, as long as the enemy's conspiracy is thwarted, it has achieved its strategic goal, Yang Hao has not yet carried away to a slight victory, he wants to eliminate a cavalry team with superior numbers, can advance and retreat, and now shrink the team and strengthen the defense, which is to retain the fruits of victory.

The Yinzhou cavalry found out about Yang Hao's intentions, and began to be anxious, and the feint began to turn into a desperate fierce attack, trying to eliminate the formation of a defensive circle, the enemy and us were fighting hard, and the enemy's rear formation suddenly divided into a team of 5,000 people like a storm to rush to Yang Hao's rear formation, and quickly rushed to the rear position composed of chariots and weapons that was the most vulnerable in defense.

This is the most vulnerable place of Yang Hao's department, if they are allowed to tear a hole and dig it in like a sharp knife, the defensive formation will collapse immediately, the main force of Yang Hao's department is fighting hard in the front, in the dense defensive formation, even if the enemy in the front immediately retreats, they will not have time to rush to the rear to help, but ...... This cavalry, which should have made a great contribution and annihilated Yang Hao's troops in one fell swoop, and since then the cavalry that wiped out Luzhou from the historical map again has encountered a situation that is even more unlucky than the comrades who encountered the Modao Formation, and the old soldiers of Luzhou have come out.

The old soldier is the name of the heavy armored cavalry in the Luzhou army who once ordered Yu Xun and Yang Chongxun to be greedy.

They are delicate, the horses are also delicate, they themselves are very difficult to put on a single person, after the drape can not get on the horse, on the horse and can not get off, when they march they have to use the car to carry them and the horses clothed, once the battle begins, they have to be in the other warriors fighting bravely when the mouth of the slow drape, slow on the horse, because the impact is too great, can not stop the pace of the rush will kill each other, so they have to slowly line up the formation...... Without the protection of infantry or light cavalry, they can do nothing, and although they are cavalry, they are not as far as the infantry, they must not run too far, otherwise the horses will be tired to death, and they will not be able to fight for too long, otherwise people will also be exhausted, and they cannot go up the mountain road, down the wetlands, into the desert, into the forest, and ......, and cannot encounter tripping horses, antler thorns, and horse rejection pits...... In the Luzhou army, such a heavy armored cavalry that burns money and is not practical, and it seems that only the heavy armored cavalry that fills the faΓ§ade when the honor guard is arranged, when Zhi Yuxun and Yang Chongxun looked at this iron-armored monster with hot eyes, the Luzhou soldiers and horses who thought they knew this team very well thought that this heavy armored cavalry was simply a team of waste soldiers and old soldiers, but after today's battle, all the people kept their mouths shut.

Armored and covered in armor, even the tall Arabian horses were draped in steel monsters, and the oncoming five thousand cavalry rushed towards them with a roar. They held spears in their hands, sharp arrows flew head-on, clanged at them, and then fell to the ground with a clatter, the knights on the horse were like the gods of war made of steel statues, and the whole row of knights was like a steel wall, and no one met them, easily tearing the charging formation of the Yinzhou cavalry, roaring and crushing, and the place where they passed was withered...... The terrifying spear pierced the enemy's body directly, the enemy didn't even have a chance to resist, the steel torrent roared by, the survivors just raised their heads with palpitations, and the second wave of heavy armored cavalry arrived, and the survivors had to face a new killing god in horror, and continued to wave in vain the weapons that they couldn't touch the opponent's body at all, and couldn't collide with that huge force at all...... The heavy cavalry rumbled past, they would never stop hand-to-hand combat, to stop was to seek death, once stopped, they would go from the god of death to a waste that everyone could ravage him, but when he was still galloping, they were a human tank, they were the kings of land warfare, and no one could match them except for the infantry spear formations formed in a dense formation that could confront this terrible ironclad cavalry head-on in a tight formation. These Yinzhou cavalry in front of them had never seen such a terrible heavy armored cavalry, and they rushed up as fast as they could, originally wanting to tear a hole in the defensive position of the Luzhou soldiers and horses, but they couldn't wait to rush up and become the crops harvested by this team of steel death.

After a hedge, the powerful lethality of this heavy armored cavalry caused more kills than the total number of enemies destroyed in the front position, and the surviving Yinzhou cavalry were already frightened and fled in all directions in a panic, leaving many ownerless war horses in place with a long neighing and howl.

Yang Hao secretly said that it is a pity, if he still has a reserve of infantry or light cavalry at this time, and cooperates with the heavy cavalry in time to fight, this enemy army that has encountered the tactics of heavy cavalry for the first time and panicked is likely to not be able to escape.

However, although there are some regrets, seeing its powerful power, Yang Hao is still very satisfied. Of course, he knew that heavy cavalry had too many restrictions on the battlefield, but when he had the unique conditions to build such a class, he still did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build such an army.

Their ability to charge and break the formation is too strong, Yang Hao has witnessed the fierce battle of the Song State and the Khitan with 100,000 troops each at the mouth of the Meridian Valley, and the Great Song army under the command of Zhao Kuangyin is arranged into a large and small battle array: the vanguard array, the strategy vanguard array, the large array, the front formation, the east and west abduction horse formation, the landless division of horses, the rejection of the rear formation, and the rear formation of the palace...... The small military formations with different functions are like countless chisels, axes, saws, files, cones, and pliers, forming a sophisticated killing machine, which fits extremely exquisitely, even if the team of thousands of people once they fall in, they will be strangled and crushed by them in an instant, such a precise cooperation, the Song army's 100,000 foot soldiers actually made the opposite Khitan 100,000 cavalry helpless, if they could not disrupt the Song army's formation, they would not dare to attack.

However, the heavy cavalry is the best weapon to break the formation, if the cavalry is equivalent to the tank in the army relative to the infantry, then the heavy cavalry is the tank in the tank. At that time, if there was such a heavy cavalry on the Khitan side, using their strong kinetic energy, they would definitely be able to break through the opponent's battle formation. In the era of cold weapons, the reason why the army is different from the rabble is that they have strict discipline and tacit understanding of cooperation, and all of this depends on a stable formation, once the opponent's formation is broken, it will disrupt their cooperation and hit their morale, so the only opportunity for this heavy cavalry to show is to charge, but it is definitely worth raising such a useless army. Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, and raising heavy armored cavalry, why not use it for a while?

The two armies entered a stalemate again, the sun was setting, the remnants were as red as blood, the battlefield was broken and sunk in the sand, blood was everywhere, twilight was gradually falling, and the sad neighing of horses was heard in the distance. The soldiers and horses of Yinzhou didn't know what strange things would be killed in the solid square circle formation on the other side, and the battle situation began to be in a stalemate.

Late at night, a slightly missing bright moon quietly climbed into the sky, and Zhi Ziyu held a grass stalk in his mouth, lying on his back on the grain cart, looking at the bright moon in the sky with his pillow arm thoughtfully.

Zhi Wei was lying on the ground, listening for a long time in the way of listening to the ground, and climbed into the car excitedly: "Little aunt, the soldiers and horses of Yinzhou have retreated." ”

Excerpt Ziyu sighed, was silent for a long time, took off the grass stalk, and asked: "You also saw the heavy armored cavalry just now, if you come to lead the troops, how to deal with it?" ”

"Huh?" Zhi Weizheng thought about it carefully and replied: "Avoid its edge, scatter it in a roundabout way, use the bow and arrow and riding speed, and drag it down." ”

"If the opponent's light cavalry cooperates, and the foot soldiers respond, so that they can strike a thunderous blow, why do you deserve it?"

Zhi Weizheng pondered for a long time, and said with a sneer: "Then I have to find a place that is not suitable for heavy riding and galloping, otherwise...... Defend the city by itself, and no more...... I had to use human lives to pile up......"

Zhi Ziyu snorted coldly, frowned and pondered, but Zhi Weizheng rolled his eyes disapprovingly, and secretly slandered himself: "Alas! Women, I can't be offended, why do I have to think of a way to crack it? Just to show that you are a head above him, I don't want to fight for the world to be the emperor, if we can become a family with each other, then wouldn't we be a soldier without a fight? Surrendering without a fight, that's the royal way......"

Zhi Wei was quietly looking at Zhi Ziyu who was looking up at the starry sky next to him, looking at that beautiful and charming face, as if he had seen a magic weapon for clearing customs without a fight......
