Chapter 16 The Value of Famous Generals

The current situation is in response to one sentence.

Victory is for those who are prepared.

In order to win the Turkic victory and achieve the final victory.

Whether it is Li Shimin in the court or Luo Shixin on the front line, they have paid a lot, and now is the time for them to recover the results.

"Shoot!"

Su Dingfang was also holding a horn bow and crossbow in his hand at this time, pulling the bow and winding it vigorously, installing crossbow arrows, and doing his part......

Although he is good at using bows and arrows, he has to admit that he is in the shooting range. Compared to bows and arrows, crossbow arrows have an innate advantage.

The bows and crossbows that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty army were divided into four types: the familiar one is naturally the Fuyuan crossbow, in addition to the Fuyuan crossbow, there are also the Zhang crossbow, the horn bow crossbow, and the single bow crossbow.

Times are advancing, and so is technology. The strong crossbow of the Han Dynasty and the Qin State, the strong crossbow of the Tang Dynasty also inherited the technology of the predecessors, improved it, and became a sharp weapon to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Fuyuan crossbow and Zhang crossbow are strong crossbows used by crossbowmen, and Fuyuan crossbow is the most powerful, and it needs to be pulled with both hands to be able to wind, and the second arm strength can not be pulled. The crossbow does not require a foot pedal, but it also requires a strong pull of both hands to wind up and shoot hard.

These two crossbows are certainly powerful, but they cannot be used in horse warfare.

The horn bow crossbow is an improved arm tension crossbow used by the crossbow cavalry in the Qin and Han dynasties, with a long range and great power, which is most suitable for horse warfare.

The Tang Dynasty absorbed the combat methods of the Turkic cavalry: the Turkic cavalry were skilled in arches and horses, and before they engaged the enemy, they would often shoot a rain of arrows in a place to disrupt the enemy's formation. Then cover up and get the chance of winning. After all, the farming people are inferior to the nomads in this regard, and it is already very good to be able to train a cavalry with excellent riding skills. It is really difficult for them to master the skills of riding and archery.

So there is a different kind of riding shooting. Replace bows and arrows with strong crossbows. Although the structure of the strong crossbow is complex and complicated, it is extremely simple to learn and use, and it does not take too much time and painstaking effort.

In a cavalry team in Datang, there will often be a cavalry equipped with a strong crossbow, rushing to the front line, and gaining a combat advantage with a strong crossbow.

But if Ross believes so. It was the first time that all the strong crossbows had been gathered together to form a crossbow cavalry.

Luo Shixin was specially trained according to the grassland people's reliance on their kite tactics to fight and consume, and the anti-kite fighting method.

Because of this, Umer was caught off guard. There is no way to cope.

"Yes, that's it! Withdraw, see no! We just walked the dog and slipped away...... I'd rather have one less arrow. Don't let them catch up! Su Dingfang controlled the distance between the two sides. The tactical play of kite flying was used to the extreme, and the advantage of the distance of the crossbow arrow was constantly used to consume Umer's troops.

Umo looked at the soldiers beside him, shot the crossbow arrows little by little, fell off the horse, and wanted to die, he couldn't have imagined that he would be planted under the tactics he was best at, after living most of his life.

In the face of this, he used the style of play almost a thousand times. He had a feeling that there was nothing he could do.

He knows this tactic too well, and this tactic is because of the distance advantage. The beaten side will always be in a passive situation.

Don't underestimate the distance between them, hundreds of paces. This distance is not long, but it is not short. While chasing, the opposite side keeps running again, and from time to time there will be arrows flying to limit the speed. Under the same circumstances, it will take a long time for the chasing party to cross the 100-step distance. Often, when you catch up, your soldiers are almost consumed.

The most difficult thing for Umo to accept is that the other party's command table is extremely good, the position is very well stuck, and the constant maintenance is with them to slip away, not fast or slow. If he chases quickly, the opposite side runs fast, and if he slows down, the speed of the opposite side will also decrease, and the most effective range of the crossbow arrow will always be maintained.

This made Umer a little discouraged.

For the way of riding and archery, his ancestors have specially studied, how to slip the best, how to slip the most effective, and have no experience.

Umo remembers that when he first learned, his expression was a mess, and it was not until a few years later that he gradually integrated it, until today, more than 30 years, like a finger. But the young conductor on the other side was no more than thirty years old, but he commanded properly and decently, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't get close and couldn't get rid of it.

Even if it is an enemy, Umo has to admit that the other party is young and promising: even one of Luo Shixin's subordinates is so good, and Luo Shixin's power can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Umer had a feeling that if they offended people who could not afford to offend the Turks, they would be doomed.

Wu Mo saw that he couldn't catch up, and he kept reducing his troops, and in the process of chasing and fleeing, they didn't even hurt a single Tang army, but they lost more than 1,800 people.

Seeing another round of crossbow arrows coming, forty or fifty people and horses rolled to the ground, and finally couldn't support it, and gritted their teeth and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

His "withdrawal" showed that the Turkic soldiers of the Ukrainian tribe were relieved one by one. They used to sneak their enemies like this, watching their enemies chasing behind their butts one by one and eating ashes and arrows, which was very feeling, but now it can be said that it has been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and these people who eat ashes and feathers and arrows have become them, and they can't cry. The high morale has long been thrown to grandma's house.

The Turkic soldiers miraculously changed their itinerary: they made a small circle to the right rear in the same place, and directly used the speed of the forward rush to make a small circle, and the remaining 6,000 or so Turkic soldiers completed the difficult task of retreating at high speed.

Su Dingfang, who had been watching the Turkic movements, was amazed by this, in their army, they were able to make such a clean turn at present, except for Luo Shixin's Jiesheng army, they really couldn't find a second team.

The Turks have grown up on horseback since they were children, and it is not easy for them to make up for this advantage on horseback.

"Stop...... The back team becomes the front team! ”

Su Dingfang naturally didn't intend to give up like this, but if they wanted to make a small turn directly in the acceleration like the Turks, and with their superb equestrian turning, it was not realistic, so they stopped and turned around on the spot. Although it is slower, at least the formation is not chaotic.

Seeing the Tang army change its formation like this, Wu Mo couldn't help laughing, and the depression that had been suppressed and beaten in his heart also disappeared a little, and he said in his heart: "Compared with our grassland people, it is far worse than riding skills." ”

Thinking so, it suddenly came to mind.

"Withdraw, speed give me withdraw!" Umer's tone suddenly became agitated.

"Chase, chase me!" Su Dingfang was unwilling to let the cooked duck fly like this, and ordered to chase it as fast as possible.

The effective range of the horned bow is about 160 steps, but the maximum range can reach more than 200 steps.

Although the Turks ran fast, they did not completely escape the Tang army's Wuzhi Mountain.

The headless and brainless crossbow arrows still "swished" to fly, and the crossbow arrows beyond the effective range were not in the crosshair, and their power was weakened. But the dense crowd, even if it is shot down with one more round, it can take the lives of more than a dozen people.

Seeing that the Tang army was chasing after him, Wu Mo's smile flashed, and he suddenly blew the bone flute, and sent an order to the bone flute: "Turn around and attack immediately!" ”

The Turkic cavalry of the Ukrainian tribe once again showed excellent horsemanship, and thousands of cavalry turned around in an instant.

The Turkic cavalry turned around too quickly and too suddenly.

Before Tang Jun could even stop reacting, the other party had already rushed towards him.

The Tang army was sprinting, and the Turkic cavalry also followed the charge, and the distance between the two sides suddenly shortened from two hundred paces away to more than one hundred, entering the range of the Turkic cavalry.

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Wu Mo was about to laugh and order his people to take control of the situation, using their bows and arrows to let the hated Tang know what mounted archery was.

Before Umer could open his mouth to play the bone flute, he saw a rain of arrows coming to his face, like locusts......

The feathers of the arrows were dense and terrifying, black and black, covering all the rest of the space around him......

Umer's face turned pale, and he didn't even have time to resist and dodge, so he was drowned out by the crossbow arrows that came from the sky...... Even though he was wearing the special general iron armor made by the Central Plains, in the face of hundreds of powerful crossbow arrows, he didn't even have a chance to shout, so he directly shot into a hornet's nest and killed him on the spot.

"Cover up the past!" Su Dingfang put away his bow and crossbow, jumped on his horse with his spear, and took the brunt of the attack on the Turkic soldiers.

Wu Mo's hand was really clever, and even Su Dingfang didn't expect it, so he directly let him fool over.

But Su Dingfang is Su Dingfang!

This is the number one general under Luo Shixin, the future Optimus Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and his foreign war exploits.

After a momentary mistake, I made a response as quickly as possible.

It is an indisputable fact that the overall horsemanship of the Turkic soldiers is indeed superior to them.

This distance has been shortened, and if they turn around again, they will only become a target for arrows, so they simply change their tactical play, do not do one, do not stop, directly lead troops to shorten the distance between each other, fight white-knuckle battles, and wipe out the cavalry and archery advantage of the Wu tribe.

The Wu tribe focuses on training in cavalry archery, and will be slightly weak for the real swords and guns of the two armies.

Just as he gave the order to sprint, he accidentally spotted Umer in the crowd.

In the previous chase, Su Dingfang had already seen the appearance of his opponent. Seeing that he was exposed to the crossbow arrows at this moment, he had an idea, and ordered all the bows and crossbows to shoot in the direction of Umer...... Directly took Umer away in a wave.

The confrontation between these two armies is always full of surprise and irresistible force.

Therefore, it is especially a test of the general's ability to adapt to changes, and it is obvious that Su Dingfang defeated Wu Mo in this regard. Even if you have an accident and lose the first move, you can think of a way to deal with it in an instant, and finally succeed in one fell swoop. With his own command ability, he defeated the Turkic reinforcements along the way in one fell swoop.

This is the definition of the value of the famous will save zĂ i.

And then the one-sided situation happened as a matter of course......

The Turkic soldiers, who had already lost their morale because of passive shooting, faced the death of the patriarch and the fierce attack of the Tang Dynasty, and they had no courage to fight again. (To be continued......)
