What's more, Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong's army are mostly cavalry, and cavalry has a huge advantage over infantry in field battles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that in the eyes of the two of them, the tens of thousands of troops out of the city are a little strange, some of them are used to seeing the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army and don't care about it, and most of the remaining half of them are carrying the kind of iron pipes that can breathe fire, and some are holding swords, shields, spears, etc., which can barely be understood, but what are the other carts for? Is it the grain and grass that is being delivered? But this is just out of Bianliang City, do you need to carry so much grain and grass?

"There are not many enemy cavalry, so they just took advantage of their lack of formation to charge and kill for a while." Because of the lack of cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, it attached great importance to the study of infantry cavalry, and when a large number of infantry formed a battle formation, neither the iron harrier of the party or the palace army of the Liao State had any good way to deal with it, so Guo Yaoshi wanted to take advantage of the Song army's formation to attack first.

Liu Yanzong also dealt with the Song army, of course he understood the truth, and immediately agreed with Guo Yaoshi's judgment, and the two of them divided 30,000 cavalry to rush towards the Song army, according to their judgment of the Song army, during the period when the cavalry rushed to the Song army's formation, it was not enough for them to form a tight array.

However, they underestimated the speed of the Qi family's army, and before leaving the city, Li You had already judged that Guo Yaoshi and they might take this opportunity to kill the horse pistol, so they made corresponding preparations when arranging the order of going out of the city, only to see that the Qi family army that was pushing the cart immediately took action, and every four people pushed a cart to form a defensive line on the road that the Changsheng army and the Liao army must pass.

Immediately, the cart behind also quickly pasted up, on the left and right and in the rear, the cart was lined up like them, opened the carriage and took out the horse rejector, blocking between the cart and the cart, so that the enemy cavalry could not enter the formation through the gap, and then the four Qi Jiajun who pushed the cart took out the fire gun from the cart and lit the fire rope and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.

As for the artillerymen, they immediately placed the already heavier Franc machine in the open space of the cart, and quickly but without the slightest panic, filled the projectile into the barrel of the cannon, and was ready to fire.

In an instant, the Qi family army arranged many boxy chariot formations on the vast flat land outside Bianliang City, protecting the musketeers, infantry and the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army, while the cavalry temporarily stayed behind the chariot formation and was ready to attack at any time.

The Great Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Archers and Infantry gradually quieted down after experiencing the initial panic, and the training in these days also gave them an understanding of the combat methods of the Qi Family's army, knowing that it was difficult for the cavalry to break through this kind of defense line composed of large carts, so they began to wind the Divine Arm with peace of mind.

How can this be rushed? The Chang Sheng army and the Liao army who were running at the forefront couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect the enemy on the opposite side to be able to organize such a tight defense line in such a short time, but the speed of the horses had already increased, and it was a little too late to make changes now, so they had to rush forward.

"Boom!" Far away from the car formation, I heard several loud noises, but this is the first to launch the Franc machine with a long range, this is a slender body, the caliber is small, the body is equipped with a crosshair, the door, can aim and shoot at long-distance targets, in the Jiajing period from Portugal to the Ming Dynasty, after the Ming Dynasty was successfully imitated.

Each of the Franc machines weighs about 300 pounds, the female gun is 2.85 feet long, and it is equipped with 5 to 9 sub-guns, and there are gun lugs on both sides of the gun body, which can be placed on the bracket and can pitch to adjust the shooting angle. The rear part of the gun is thicker, and there are long holes and grooves to fill the guns. The rate of fire is faster due to the pre-loading of ammunition and the method of breech firing.

The projectile screamed and flew out, and instantly crashed into the cavalry formation, and quickly plowed a blood groove wherever it went, all those who blocked the path of the cannonball, whether it was a man or a horse, were all in a fragmented end, and it was better to be killed directly by the cannonball, and even more unfortunate were those unlucky people who were cut off their arms and thighs, they rolled around on the ground and let out bursts of wails that penetrated people's bone marrow. I couldn't help but feel cowardly, and the speed of the impact gradually began to slow down.

It's a pity that they should not worry about those unlucky people but themselves, because they have already entered the effective attack range of the car formation, only to listen to the order of the officers of the Qi family army in the formation, the tiger squat cannon, the fire gun and the Great Song Dynasty's divine arm archers began to fire at the same time, and lead bullets and arrows attacked these guys like covering the sky and the sun.

The enemy screamed continuously, countless people were shot down and dismounted, and the vast majority of the cavalry were hit by lead bullets or arrows before they rushed to the cart, even if some lucky guys escaped this wave of attacks and came to the cart, there was no way to take these solid carts and horse rejection weapons with teeth and claws, these things were not cut by the scimitars in their hands for a while, not to mention that there were countless firecrackers and divine arm archers waiting for them in the chariot array, With a swing of their sword, they would attract more than a dozen Qi family troops and the Great Song Forbidden Army to attack at the same time.

At this time, above the city, Zhao Huan, Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and others were also nervously watching the battle, how could Zhao Huan and others have ever seen such a method? They all cast inquiring glances at Uncle Zhang, who pondered for a long time before finding a similar record from the history books, "This is quite similar to the Wuhan Iron and Steel car formation recorded in the history books when the Marquis of Changping broke the Huns." ”

According to historical records, Wei Qing used the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle Formation to resist the assault of the Xiongnu cavalry when he finally fought a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, and later attacked the Xiongnu on both wings after the wind and sand, although Si Shuzhong did not record the details of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car Formation, but Zhang Shuye thought that this kind of battle formation was the same as what he saw now.

They all use chariots to form a wall-like formation, so as to prevent the opponent's cavalry from attacking, protect the long-range projection troops in the formation, so as to kill and injure the opponent's cavalry in the defense, and can deploy mobile troops in the formation to carry out counter-assault when necessary, and Li You's cavalry now staying behind the car formation seems to be ready to counterattack.

"The car formation has been completed, Guo Yaoshi has no chance of winning, now it depends on how many enemy troops Guo Shenxian can leave behind when he counterattacks!" Uncle Zhang secretly speculated that this might be a number that would surprise everyone. (To be continued.) )
