"The deception is too much, and the Song army commander is too unreasonable!"

Envoys, even if they are envoys in front of the two armies, it is common for them to be beaten and humiliated under normal circumstances, but the chance of being killed in front of the battle is not great, this is a bad rule, but the Song people did it. Obviously, the killing of the messenger made Liang Yishu thunderous, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the Song people killed his cronies as soon as they disagreed, this is in front of the 40,000 party troops, slapped Liang Yishu, this kind of humiliation, can he bear it?

"I have to break Song Jiang's body into ten thousand pieces!"

Liang Yishu appeared to have his dog's leg cut off on the surface, and he couldn't get over it on his face and couldn't get off the stage. But in fact, it was not the death of one of his subordinates that really angered him, but for another reason.

Li Kui's sentence: "Song traitor, everyone will be punished!" ”

It was enough to hook up all the anger in Liang Yishu's heart.

It seems that there is no problem with this, but if it is a common people, who have been looted and captured because of the war, and have made compromises for the sake of their families' survival, there seems to be not much to blame. Of course, you shouldn't pick up a butcher's knife and face your own people, but it can't reach the point of being a traitor. The real Song traitor must be like Zhang Yuan, who can live a stable life in the Great Song Dynasty, but because he is dissatisfied with his heart, he turns to mutilate his own people.

But Zhang Yuan doesn't look at his lofty status in Western Xia, but in Western Xia, the biggest traitor in Song is not Zhang Yuan, who has died of illness, but the Liang family.

The Liang clan, the current controller of the Western Xia Kingdom, is actually a Han Chinese.

To say that Li Kui scolded the messenger in front of the battle, it is more appropriate to say that Li Kui did not scold the messenger, but Liang Yishu behind the messenger.

Like a vicious dog, Liang Yishu barked angrily after being provoked by Li Kui, and Liang Yishu, who was burned by anger, simply forgot that he was going to hand over the command to Yelimondo before, but directly ordered the cavalry to charge and kill.

Da-da-da-da.

The iron hooves of the war horses trampled the earth, and under the dust, the distorted faces of the Tangut people rushed towards the Song army with the fervor of war.

"Let's shoot!"

Hussar?

Li Kui didn't look down on the light cavalry, but the light cavalry couldn't rush through the defensive line he had set up at all. The carts were connected from end to end, and the few gaps were very small, and the speeding horses could not pass smoothly at all. The cart was completely fixed to the ground by Li Kui with heavy objects, and even stones and various woods were stuffed under the wheels, and the war horse crashed into the cart and could not be shaken at all.

Li Kui's eyes were clear, and he couldn't understand why his mentality became more and more calm when he was fighting, even if the Song army around him fell, he couldn't shake his cold heart.

"No, you don't!"

Faced with Cheng Zhijie's proposal, Li Kui immediately vetoed it. This made the corners of Cheng Zhijie's mouth a little bitter, and he seemed to be wrong again. Is it the role of artillery that does not play a decisive role? Or is Li Kui sure of victory?

But in the blink of an eye, the party cavalry was about to rush to the front of the battle, and at this time, Cheng Zhijie, the main general, could not give orders, but Li Kui could not do nothing.

He turned his head to the herald behind him and said, "Order the infantry to wait for the car, the glaive array!" ”

"Glaive!"

The herald waved the order flag, and the 5,000 army and 2,000 heavy infantry began to board the cart fixed on the ground without hurry, just like the Song army suddenly had an extra layer of city walls more than one meter high.

Don't look at the city wall of more than one meter, it is useless, but for war horses, this 'city wall' that is more than one meter high and more than one meter wide can lazily stop the sprint of war horses.

Gao Yu was in front of the battle, and he wasn't very flustered before.

In the battle of the river valley, although Gao Yu was nervous, fortunately he was idle. All the battle orders and arrangements in front of the station are all done by Li Kui, and as long as he does not escape, he can share the weal and woe with the soldiers at a critical time.

But now it's not the case, Gao Yu is like a foot soldier commanding, and the commander gave the battle order, but he couldn't react a little. It's not that he's scared and wants to run away. It's that his execution simply can't keep pace with the manager.

Just when Gao Yu was stunned, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't stand it, turned his head, and whispered to Gao Yu: "General, the glaive is a fierce formation, the main killing, and both offensive and defensive." At this point, it was time for the archers to prepare to shoot in advance, and the crossbowmen boarded the carts to rob and kill the cavalry generals. ”

Gao Yu, whose head was emptied, reacted at this time, and said with a stalk around his neck: "The bow and crossbow are in advance, ready to be thrown, and the crossbowmen board the car to rob and kill the cavalry general." After giving these orders, he secretly touched the sweat on his forehead. There is no way, the battles he participated in before were all ordered by Li Kui, and Li Kui reacted on the battlefield.

He knew that the Glaive Array had said it in the book of war.

But the problem is that it will be used immediately on the battlefield, and Gao Yu is still the first time.

It's like a student who has just finished learning a textbook and is asking for an exam for the first time when he does a question in his head, and everyone is confused, and the same is true for Gao Yu.

Of course, Hu Yanzhuo was born in Jiangmen, and the education he received since he was a child was how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and all the killing techniques and tactics of commanding the army to fight have been engraved in his mind and branded in the depths of his soul. There was no need for him to test his knowledge, but an almost instinctive reaction.

The battlefield chosen by Li Kui was wide, and he did not have the geographical advantage of a narrow river valley that was conducive to infantry blocking and killing cavalry. All the people in the party are soldiers, and the soldiers and generals have a high understanding of war. The cavalry rushed into the formation, and when they saw the formation of the Song army, they immediately switched to cavalry shooting. Under the mutual fire of the crossbow archers of the Song army, there were losses to each other, and in comparison, the party suffered a lot. But for the party members who were eight or nine times larger than the Song army, any losses were not important, as long as the true combat effectiveness of the Song army could be discovered, it would not matter to Liang Yishu that hundreds or thousands of people died.

The Dangxiang cavalry did not rush to the front of the Song army, but began to draw their bows and shoot arrows at a distance of less than a hundred paces in front of the Song army's formation.

The humming sound of bowstrings was muffled by the neighing and galloping of war horses, but it could not hide the deadly arrows that fell from the sky.

"Raise your shield!"

Hu Yanzhuo saw that Gao Yu couldn't count on it, so he simply took over Gao Yu's command. Gao Yu did not show great dissatisfaction with this kind of behavior, and he did not mean to obstruct it, and the herald saw this and immediately issued an order.

He was even a little worried that he was not on the battlefield, not that he was not on the battlefield at all, but that his good brother Li Kui was not by his side, which made him a little flustered.

Jingle bell

The arrows of the party fell from the sky, and some arrows that were bounced off by shields scurried around in the military formation. This kind of arrows scurrying around is not very harmful to the military formation, and even if the soldiers on the side are hit, the arrows that have lost their maximum kinetic energy can only bring some insignificant minor injuries to the well-protected Song army.

The most feared thing is that the thrown arrows will fall straight from the air, and go to the softest place of the armor, plunge into the flesh and pierce the body. If he is really hit by such an arrow, the soldier can be shot into a hedgehog. Fortunately, the cavalry projectile threat was limited, and the cavalry's bow was inherently light, not as powerful as the longbow.

Seeing this, Hu Yanzhuo immediately ordered the crossbowmen to crouch, and the whole person curled up in a ball, using the helmet on his head and the armor on his shoulders to resist the attack of arrows.

The muffled snort came and went, and in a short time, dozens of unlucky people were tricked.

Fortunately, the injury didn't seem to be serious, which made Gao Yu secretly relieved. But even so, it made Gao Yu anxious. There are many party members, there are few Song soldiers, and the Song army really can't afford to fight hard, if the casualties reach a certain level after a long time, the Song army will be in danger. After feeling the pressure of the battlefield, Hu Yanzhuo gradually became accustomed to the intensity of the battlefield.

Turning his head to Gao Yu, he said, "My lord, don't worry, the party can't last." ”

The party is a fast hand, which is the combat style of the party members that Song Jun knows. Fight quickly, attack quickly, retreat and flee quickly. But the current situation seems to be very unfavorable to him, and Gao Yuhu asked suspiciously: "Is it because the bow and crossbow are not enough?" ”

"Unlike the Iron Harrier, the ordinary cavalry of the party will not carry more than two pots of arrows, and under normal circumstances, there will only be one pot of arrows." Hu Yanzhuo explained.

Gao Yu glared in disbelief and said, "So little? ”

"It's already a lot, and when Emperor Renzong was in power, the party members used fewer arrows. Even often even on the battlefield even give up mounted shooting. ”

"Why?" Gao Yu was surprised.

Hu Yanzhuo said disdainfully: "It's not poor, an arrow is nearly one or two weights, and one hundred thousand arrows are seven or eight thousand catties of iron, and the party members didn't even have enough iron pots to cook meat, how could they let the soldiers have a sufficient number of arrows?" And the arrows made of wild fangs and wild bones, not to mention the erratic shooting out, cannot penetrate the armor of our soldiers at all. ”

"Then why did you lose that year?" Gao Yu was very curious, the original party members were simply called Hanako Army! How did such an army defeat the army commanded by Jiangmen and let Li Yuanhao succeed in establishing a country under the noses of the Great Song Dynasty?

Hu Yanzhuo didn't want to say this question, he was afraid that his grandfather's coffin board would not be able to cover it. Shame on people, equipment, weapons, are stronger than the party people, not a star and a half, the Great Song army actually failed miserably in Sanchuankou, who to reason with? There is no reason for failure, and the only one who bears the blame is Jiangmen. It's not that the generals are incompetent and tired to death the three armies?

Hu Yanzhuo, who was part of the gate, didn't want to continue with this embarrassing question.

On the contrary, Gao Yu has no psychological obstacles at all when he talks about this issue, he is from the military, not a general. Fundamentally speaking, his fathers and grandfathers are all pawns, and the first to die on the battlefield is an unlucky guy with such an identity, and it is very likely that the ancestors of the old Gao family were killed a lot by Hu Yanzhuo's grandparents...... In this way, the two may be enemies!

When a soldier goes to the battlefield, the number of arrows in a pot is basically a certain amount, and the total number does not exceed twenty-five, and under normal circumstances, twenty arrows. Even two pots of arrows are only forty.

Don't look at the Song army, there are only 5,000 people, and the crossbow soldiers are only 2,000, but the Song army carried 100,000 spare arrows of various kinds, plus two pots of arrows for each crossbowman, a total of 200,000 arrows. It is equivalent to saying that each crossbowman of the Song army brought four times as many arrows as the party members. But it can't be counted like this, there are many party members, and the 40,000 army is gathered together, and there must be a lot of numbers.

In the formation, Li Kui rode on a war horse, squinting at the battlefield.

He regretted it a little now, why didn't he get the goggles out, if he had them, they would look much clearer. Different from the army formation of 1,000 people, the formation of the 5,000 Song army was originally very large. In addition, more than 40,000 party members came in one go, causing Li Kui to have an illusion of boundlessness when he looked at the battlefield. So much so that his proud 2.5 super eyesight is a little inadequate.

Especially Li Kui began to worry about Gao Yu, this guy's command ability can't be expected, he has courage, but it's not very sufficient. What worries him even more is that the battle of the river valley experienced by Gao Yu is not a typical cavalry battle. The environment of the battlefield was too unfriendly to the party members at that time, but now it has completely fallen one by one.

In the open field, the cavalry had complete freedom to maneuver, and once the cavalry cavalry was exerted, the Song army had to be patient.

This process can be short, or it can be long, or even several hours.

This made Li Kui worry that the soldiers would have a psychological breakdown because of the increasing number of wounded soldiers.

Li Kui said to Cheng Zhijie: "General, I'll go to the front of the battle to have a look." ”

Cheng Zhijie panicked, and he didn't stop Li Kui, Li Kui went to the front of the battle, what should he, the coach, do?

"Pang Wanchun, protect the general!"

"Honorable Order!"

Cheng Zhijie's face looked at Pang Wanchun, the leader of the pro-soldiers, unnaturally, if it weren't for Li Kui's promotion back then, Pang Wanchun would not have become Cheng Zhijie's cronies. Today's Pang Wanchun, although the murderous aura on his body is insufficient, his momentum has converged. This is a realm improvement for archers who use sneak attacks as their main means of combat.

Cheng Zhijie showed a difficult smile and said to Pang Wanchun: "Don't be so cautious!" Someone is here, and the Chinese army is foolproof. ”

Pang Wanchun said to Cheng Zhijie in a haunted manner: "What the adults mean is to let the general not run around!" ”

Running?

This is just a nice rhetoric, and the ugly thing is that Li Kui asked Pang Wanchun to stare at Cheng Zhijie, don't let this guy escape. Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly and was speechless, making it clear that he didn't believe that he could be generous and righteous for the Great Song Dynasty! Although he was an escape general in Yuncheng at the beginning, the question is, wasn't he blindfolded that time? Wouldn't it be worse if his men were all running away, and if they were captured, they rushed forward stupidly.

What made Cheng Zhiqi not fight was that the second stunned man under his command spoke unpleasantly, which made him feel like he wanted to kill Pang Wanchun. I became a deserter myself...... No, twice, and once he was besieged by bandits, and that time he also escaped. But you can't just keep pointing fingers at people and saying they are dirty just because they have stains on people, right? Can't you just blow the past like the wind through the earth? Cheng Zhijie even thought that after the fifth child went to Li's house, he would simply give Pang Wanchun to Li Kui. Anyway, Pang Wanchun's sister followed the fifth child, babbling all day long, and she didn't look like a maid, and when the time came, their brother and sister would be reunited.

Coming to the front of the formation, the first wave of the attack of the party members had ended.

Gao Yu is commanding Nian Xi to properly treat the injured soldiers, and then transport them to the formation for the doctors to treat, and the minor injuries are bandaged and continue to stay in the formation.

Different from the infantry under Hu Yanzhuo, the infantry under Gao Yu respected Li Kui from the heart. The moment he saw Li Kui, even the injured soldier gritted his teeth and wanted to salute: "My lord! I'm fine. ”

"Go and rest first, the doctor said it's okay, you're really fine." Li Kui said with relief.

The moment Gao Yu saw Li Kui, he felt a kind of excitement that the backbone was coming, and he spoke with a lot more confidence: "Renjie, you came just in time." Why did the party members stop fighting for a while, is there a treacherous plan? ”

Generals command operations, and more often than not, they are doing math problems.

How many casualties did our army have?

How much did the enemy lose?

Are there enough ordnance and rations?

Attack Distance, Journey Distance......

Li Kui was close in front of the battle, and said to Luda and Ruan Xiaoer beside him: "Go, carry back the corpses of a few party members who died in front of the battle, and remember to bring their weapons too." ”

After Luda and Ruan Xiaoer looked at each other, they both ran out. There were not many arrows in the party cavalry in front of the formation, but once they fell off their horses, they were either seriously injured or killed. After all, the power of the crossbow of the Song army, except for heavy cavalry such as the Iron Harrier, any cavalry would be sent to death in front of them.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

Luda and Ruan Xiaoer came back with the corpses of the party members, as well as the weapons, scimitars, riding bows, and other fragments of the party members. The scimitar was very common, and the cavalry of the Song army would not use it. The Song army preferred to use the powerful and heavy elongated Pu knife, or the glaive knife, the olecranon knife and other long-handled weapons. Don't like to use a scimitar. The reason is simple, the shorter the weapons used by the cavalry, the higher the requirements for horsemanship.

The Song army did not have a large number of high-quality light cavalry, so it could only find a breakthrough in lethality.

The corpses were thrown indiscriminately on the ground, along with the clanging weapons.

Li Kui stepped forward and did not look at the scimitar, not even the leather armor of the party cavalry, but picked up the cavalry bow of the party cavalry, as well as the quiver. He whispered, "So that's it?" ”

The problem of perplexing Gao Yu was easily solved, and the arrows carried by the party cavalry were almost empty, and after the cavalry shot, one of the two cavalrymen's quivers had only five arrows, and the other was four.

As for the cavalry arcillation, according to Li Kui's calculations, the party cavalry should have shot at least five arrows.

This shows that the arrows of the party cavalry are almost at the bottom. In this way, soon the party people will face a situation where there are no arrows available, and the cavalry can only attack the defense line of the Song army, and it is not appropriate to use the glaive array. The Glaive Array is easy to use, but the Glaive Array needs the assistance of cavalry, but Li Kui doesn't have it. Without the assistance of cavalry, the Glaive Array has only half of its function, which is defense. The legend of the Glaive Array comes from Wu Qi, the god of war, who brought the Glaive Array to the battlefield and played it to the extreme.

Infantry defense, cavalry counterattack, this is the soul of the Glaive Array. Defense alone can only be a situation of being passively beaten. Li Kui didn't think about counterattacking at all, infantry fighting cavalry, it's already good to be able to hold the defensive line, counterattack? What do you think? A two-legged infantry can catch up with a four-legged cavalry?

Dream!

However, it is not that there is no way to change the formation, he asked Gao Yu: "Do you know the variant of the Glaive Array, but the Moon Array?" ”

"Yes!" When Gao Yu heard this, his head suddenly exploded, is the world's No. 1 killing array finally coming out of the rivers and lakes?
