Chapter 197: Empress Xiliao (Asking for a monthly pass!) )

The Daqian Dynasty dispatched 80,000 cavalry, almost twice as many as the Tatars.

When the Tatar people saw this, although they were not afraid, they did not dare to act rashly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the women and children of the Liao State rushed to the front of the Qianjun.

If so many women and children were allowed to storm the ranks of the cadres, and the Tatars took this opportunity to attack again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Li Cun asked people to prepare early, just waiting for these women and children of the Liao Kingdom to rush over a little more, and then go and lead them to the side of the military formation.

Who would have thought, it didn't matter if Li Cun sent someone to pick it up, these women and children of the Liao Kingdom bypassed the military formation under the command of that tall Khitan girl, and then hid in the rear of the cadre army formation.

Seeing this scene, Li Cun smiled and said, "What a smart girl."

Li Cun's speaker was unintentional, but the person next to Li Cun listened.

In an instant, many people remembered this Khitan girl.

And Xiao Yixin said directly to Li Cun: "Your Majesty, she is from my Khitan descendant clan, a branch of Empress Taizu Chunqin, named Xiao Ta Buyan, she is naturally smart and brave, and she is a first-class beauty of my Khitan clan."

Li Cun suddenly realized, and said secretly: "It turned out to be Yelu Dashi's future wife, Empress Gantian of Western Liao, in history, she also replaced Yelu Dashi after Yelu Dashi's death and reigned for seven years, and was actually the second monarch of Western Liao."

Li Cun made no secret of his sexual interest in Xiao Ta.

As a result, more people immediately noticed that Xiao Ta was not smoking......

Soon after, the Khan of the Tatar tribe, Tireti, sent Udong to negotiate.

After being brought to Li Cun, Wu Dong respectfully saluted Li Cun, and then said, "My Great Khan sent me here to ask, why did Your Majesty hinder my family from obtaining the spoils of war, but I don't want the two families to form an alliance?"

Li Cun said vigorously, "Your Khan still dares to come to question me, he dares to rob at my doorstep, but he still wants to form an alliance between the two families?"

Wu Dong argued reasonably: "This is no longer a big country, why can't my family come here to hunt, and my family's hunting target is Your Majesty's traitors, this is equivalent to my family cleaning the door for Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty take revenge?"

Li Cun's face sank suddenly: "If I want to kill him, I still need your family to do it, I don't have a butcher's knife?"

Wu Dong was immediately speechless by Li Cun.

Li Cun said impatiently: "This place is a place where I have drawn up a place to communicate with all the tribes of the grassland, no one is allowed to use force here, otherwise it will be beheaded at least and will be exterminated.

Wu Dong's eyes rolled: "My family can be withdrawn, but can Your Majesty ask my family to take away the loot and treat it as a reward to my family, how about it?"

This is the law of survival of the grassland people, and interests come first.

The Central Plains Dynasty has always been more interested in face, preferring to break its teeth and swallow it in its stomach to maintain its so-called dignity, the most typical example of which is the Song Dynasty emperor's habitual New Year's coin policy.

Udong obviously knew the rules of the Central Plains Dynasty very well, so he wanted to use words to get the Tatars to get the ownership of these spoils. ….

But Li Cun is a black and thick lord who puts interests first, how can he be fooled by a few good words from Wudong so much that he doesn't even want one-third of Yandi's wealth?

Moreover, don't forget, a lot of the gold and silver in this is Li Cun's, and Li Cun still has to rely on this money to expand the army and raise the army to fight and develop, how can he let this group of robbers in the Tatar Department rob it, and then develop and grow, and then become his own trouble?

Therefore, seeing that Wudong was still grinding there, Li Cun said bluntly: "Don't say more, don't defeat me, your family doesn't want to take away a single grass and a tree, you go back and talk to your Khan."

Is Li Cun too overbearing and unreasonable to do this?

Be.

How did Temujin become Genghis Khan if he didn't produce a knife, a gun, or a horse?

It's not robbed yet.

Temujin was old

The wife was snatched away by the enemy, and Zamuhe sent troops to help him snatch his wife back.

As a result, Temujin took half of Zamuhe's men and horses with his backhand.

Compared with Temujin, Li Cun at least did not take revenge, nor did he attack his friends, which is really much better.

Some people may say that this is the rule of the grassland, and we Han people don't do it.

This can only be hehe......

Qin Shihuang, Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, which one is not domineering, and which one honestly reasoned with the enemy?

As soon as Wu Dong heard it, he knew that this Great Qian Emperor was not the rumored Han emperor, but a ruthless man who knew the way of the jungle and the jungle.

Wudong didn't talk nonsense, but went back directly to report to Tilieti.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Cun ordered Han Shizhong and Wu Jue to personally inspect the left flank of the cadre army and the right flank of the cadre army, and Li Cun specially assigned Yue Fei to help him check the preparations of the Chinese army.

The chariots were lined up, the bed crossbows on them were opened, and the jackdaw arrows were placed.

There is no conscience cannon and tiger squat cannon mount is good.

A swarm of bazooka setups.

The Mandarin Duck Array with the Chariot, the Swarm of Rockets, the Unconscionable Cannon, and the Tiger Squat Cannon is ready.

Heavy infantry in place.

The pikemen array is complete.

……

At the same time, Han Bei and Yao Xing also confirmed the battle formation again according to the method taught by Li Cun.

In the cavalry, Li Cun was completely built in the way of Mongolian iron cavalry.

That is, 60 percent light cavalry, with 40 percent heavy cavalry.

The task of the light cavalry was to reconnoitre, cover, and provide fire support to the heavy cavalry.

Under Li Cun's design, that is, the tactics of the Mongolian iron cavalry, light cavalry has always been the backbone of the battlefield, and their main weapon is bows and arrows.

The specific layout method is:

The battle queue is generally divided into five horizontal teams.

Two columns of heavy cavalry were ahead.

Three columns of light cavalry were in the rear.

When approaching the enemy, three columns of light cavalry advanced past the heavy cavalry and then began an attack with long-range weapons on the enemy.

Normally, the enemy's front would have been shaken or even broken up by such a dense rain of arrows.

When the time came to attack, the heavy cavalry charged and dealt a fatal blow to the enemy. ….

The purpose of this set of tactics designed by Li Cun for the horse army of the cadres was to fight non-contact warfare as much as possible, that is, to control the distance of the war as much as possible within 8 zhang (20 meters) and 18 zhang (50 meters), and gradually wear down the opponent by cavalry shooting on horseback, until the opponent was defeated, and then engage in heavy cavalry and engage in contact warfare.

In other words, until the opponent is defeated, there will be a direct impact of the cold weapon.

This is the tactics of the Mongol iron cavalry sweeping the world.

Actually, this set of things is not difficult.

The difficulty is that you have to have superb cavalry and good war horses.

In the past, Li Cun didn't have such conditions, he got a horse team, and he had to use the Divine Arm Bow as the main weapon, and he couldn't give full play to the maximum power of this set of tactics.

Now, Li Cun occupies Yandi, and there are already such conditions.

Therefore, after recruiting 20,000 cavalry from Yandi, Li Cun took the former Tabai Army and Beiwei Army as the backbone, filled the excellent Yandi Fanhan cavalry, created a new Tabai Army and Beiwei Army, and expanded the two armies into an elite horse army of 10,000 horses each.

Later, Li Cun established the third elite horse army, the Shengjie Army.

The backbone of the Shengjie Army was also drawn from the original Tabai Army and the Beiwei Army.

At the same time, Zhao Bingyuan's original more than 1,000 horses were also trained by Li Cun, promoted and used, and then dispersed into the three cavalry.

And Zhao Bingyuan naturally became Shengjie

Acting for the control of the army.

When Han Bei and Yao Xing were almost confirmed, over there, Ti Retti, who had never suffered a loss, said loudly: "Warriors of the Tatar tribe, there are robbers who want to take the prey that you have killed and wounded many of your clansmen, can you let the robbers get their wish?"

The Tatars immediately became indignant and shouted, "Kill, kill, kill......

Seeing this, Thereti directly ordered: "Go and defeat our enemies, my warriors of the Tatars!"

With the order of Theretti, the Tatar men began to attack the Qianjun.

However, the strength gathered by the Tatar tribe had not yet been fully released, so Han Bei and Yao Xing began to adopt roundabout tactics in accordance with Li Cun's order, dodging the Tatar tribe's edge, and constantly consuming the vital strength of the Tatar warriors with bows and arrows.

In this process, whether it was the light cavalry of the White Army or the light cavalry of the Beiwei Army, they all strictly followed the tactics taught by Li Cun, kept a distance from the Tatar troops, and gave full play to the greatest threat of the light cavalry.

However, at the beginning of the attack, the Tatar troops made a common-sense mistake, that is, they regarded the infantry corps deliberately exposed by Li Cun as their main target, and chose to resist the attack of the cavalry on both flanks.

As far as the facts are concerned, the Tatar Ministry's attack strategy cannot be miscalculated.

After all, cavalry has a crushing advantage over infantry.

If the cavalry of the Tatar division can withstand the attack of the Qianjun horse army and then rush into the infantry of the Qian's army, then the Tatar division can easily defeat the infantry of the Qian's army and divide the infantry of the Qian's army, and the two sides will be in a state of stalemate.

At that time, the horse army of the cadres will be afraid to use bows and arrows, which are weapons that may cause indiscriminate attacks. ….

In this way, the two sides will enter a melee, and the Tatars, who have the advantage in the number of cavalry, will most likely win the battle.

And yet—

The first thing the Tatars did not expect was that the horse army of the cadres weaved a rain of arrows that was enough to threaten their lives, and began to carry out long-range strikes against the warriors of the Tatar troops from 200 meters away.

The rain of arrows in the sky is unimaginably accurate.

This became a lingering dream demon for the Tatar warriors, causing them heavy casualties.

In addition, from the time when the Tiger Ben Army established its first horse team, Li Cun asked it to train the tactics of archery for the rest of the people.

In other words, you can shoot at enemies in the rear while fleeing.

This tactic can make the cavalry charging in front of it unguardable.

And after this tactic was passed on to the Yandi cavalry, who were extremely skilled in riding and archery, it finally showed its powerful side.

In a nutshell.

Thereti saw the warriors of the Tatars fall one after another in the way of the charge, and began to regret a little that he had neglected the attack power of the Qianjun army.

But the bow can be opened without turning back.

Tireti could only continue to lead the cavalry of the Tatar army to attack the infantry of the dry army, preparing to make up for the huge losses of the Tatar army with the final victory.

At this moment, the cadres and horses on both flanks began to attack the Tatar army's main position, and the lives of Tireti in the headquarters were seriously threatened.

But as the most notorious robber on the steppe, how could Tireti lose his fighting spirit so easily, he saw that the infantry of the Qianjun army was about to reach the firing range of the Tatar warriors, and immediately ordered the Tatar warriors to prepare to shoot.

But at this moment,

"Boom Boom ......"

An overwhelming barrage of shells was fired at the Tatar warriors.

"Rest Rest Rest Rest Rest ......"

What's even more terrifying is that the bed crossbow on the chariot also began to wield.

The Tiger Squat Cannon, with a firing range of 500 meters, far exceeds the bow and arrow, and at the same time, it can also fire scattered shells, one cannon blast, one large bomb, and one hundred small bullets.

Moreover, the Tiger Zun Cannon is still a mortar and can be projectile!

The distance of the bow and arrow is not enough to see in front of the tiger squat cannon.

The bed crossbow has a range of more than 350 paces, about 570 meters, which is much farther than the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and dozens of jackdaw arrows are fired at the same time.

These two weapons can completely suppress the nomads' bows and arrows.

In addition, it should be emphasized that one of the tactical purposes of Li Cun is that if you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

And this battle was premeditated by Li Cun for a long time, and Li Cun's Daqian Dynasty can be said to be almost the richest country in the world.

One can imagine how ferocious the blow to the vanguard of the Tatar division was in this situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just an instant, Teretti and his Tatar warriors were beaten stupid by the cadres.

It was as if the vanguard of the Tatar division was killed by the cadres at once.

As a result, Theretti forgot to give the order to shoot at the first opportunity, and many of the Tatar warriors also forgot to shoot at the first time.

As for the arrows fired by the warriors of the Tatar tribe who can still remember shooting, most of them were blocked by the chariots, and most of the arrows that passed through the chariots were blocked by the hoplites and the large shields in their hands. ….

In the end, some arrows missed, passed through layers of protection, and were thrown into the crowd.

There is no way but to ask for more blessings, how can war not kill people?

The warriors of the Tatar division did not know how many casualties they had to pay before they came within 100 meters of the dry army.

At this point, the bed crossbow is definitely useless.

- In such a fast-paced war, there is simply no time to slowly unwallow the bed crossbow and let the bed crossbow shoot a second arrow.

But it didn't matter, because the swarm of rockets that replaced the bed crossbow was already starting to wield power at this time.

The ferocious cluster rocket, in a hexagonal long barrel, was fixed with a partition of thirty-two rockets, and after igniting the fuse, thirty-two rockets fired in unison, giving a heavy blow to the Tatar warriors.

——The horizontal dispersion width of a swarm of rockets is about 40 meters, and the lethality is huge, with hundreds of salvos, which immediately let the people of the Tatar department, including the original Liao people, know what is called the power of thunder.

Plus, the second wave of salvos from Tiger Squat Cannon and Unconscionable Cannon.

For the Tatar warriors, it was a nightmare that scared their guts.

Provided, of course, that they still get away with it.

Well, even if some of the Tatar warriors were lucky enough to rush through here alive, thinking that they were about to see the light of day, that is, when they were about to take over the infantry of the cadre army, tens of thousands of thunderbolts harvested them again.

After so many waves of attacks, the warriors of the Tatar Department who can still rush to the front of the cadre army are definitely real warriors and absolute luckies.

But the problem is that the number of such lucky warriors is really too small, and there are simply not enough hoplites who have been holding back for a long time to cut down.

The hoplites didn't get much meat, and the pikemen behind the hoplites could only clean up the battlefield this time.

I have to say, the luck of the Tatar department is still good.

For when the battle had reached such an extent, it was already completely dark.

This caused thousands of really lucky ones to scatter under the cover of night.

Udon was lucky, because under such an attack, Khan Tireti was killed in battle, and Udong did not die.

But Udong was unfortunate again, because he and hundreds of other Tatars were captured alive.

Xiao Yixin and other former Liao people suggested that Li Cun kill these notorious grassland bandits, and they were all gone.

Wu Dong saw that Li Cun was a little tempted, so he hurriedly saved himself: "Your Majesty, the Tatar Department is almost out of the nest this time, and now there are less than 5,000 young people left in his family, and the rest are all old and weak women and children, but there are hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep and more than 30,000 good horses in the north, I am willing to take the heavenly army to get those cattle and sheep war horses, I just ask Your Majesty to spare my life."

Wu Dong's proposal made Li Cun very interested.

So, Li Cun ordered

Those who spoke Chinese or Khitan remained and the rest were put to death.

- Li Cun and the Liang Zi of the Tatar Department must have been formed, not to mention, Li Cun is also ready to send people to the base camp of the Tatar Department to loot a wave, and the hatred cannot be resolved, in this case, Li Cun does not kill these notorious steppe bandits, is it still left for them to find a chance to take revenge on themselves?

In view of the speed of the soldiers, Li Cun did not let the Tabai army do too much rest, but only asked the troops to give them ten days' rations and water belts, and divided 10,000 captured war horses for them to use as pack horses, and then Li Cun ordered Han Bei to be the main general, and led the Tabai Army and the Shengjie Army to go to the "base camp" of the Tatar Department under the leadership of Wudong and other prisoners to get the spoils of the cadre army.

After Han Bei received the order, he immediately set off with a large army.

After Han Bei left, because it was too dark, Li Cun left Yue Fei and Yao Xing to lead 10,000 infantry and 10,000 horses to guard the spoils of war all over the land, and he himself led the rest of the army to triumph overnight......
