Easier said than done.

Pang Wanchun was suddenly promoted to the position of commander of the Chinese army, which is not easy to do. Even Hu Yanzhuo, who was born in Jiangmen, had a sense of powerlessness after experiencing three attacks by party members. It's not the fear of the state of mind, but the feeling that the body is about to lose its strength. He knew very well that if the party continued this kind of attack regardless of casualties, the Song army would probably be unable to support it until it was dark, and the defense line would collapse.

But the biggest problem with the Moon Formation is that the defense of this formation is very strong, but once the defense is broken, it will become the target of the cavalry at will, and there is no chance to resist.

The crisis is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also lacking in skills alone.

And what is the identity of the two people who succeeded Hu Yanzhuo? Luda, a high-level family member recruited by Li Kui in Fushi City, said to be a family member, but in fact he was doing Yu Hou. The main reason is that Li Kui's current official position is too small, and it is a bit big to ask for a wait, so he has to use senior family members to cover people's eyes. How can an ordinary family member give a monthly salary of twenty yuan? Lu Qian is Gao Yu's Yu Hou, in the civil mansion, Yu Hou is the head of the guard who protects his family, and in the military general's family, Yu Hou is more of a cronie on the battlefield, a leader of the guard and other people around him.

is not an official, not a general, but at a critical time, he is the backhand to save his life.

Of course, Luda is still a temporary worker, and suddenly taking over Hu Yanzhuo's command, on the surface, the risk is huge, but there is Li Kui behind him, and there will be no big problems in the short term. Li Kui's position is not far from him, if Luda can't support it, Li Kui can also appear behind him anytime and anywhere to help.

But Li Kui is only two fists and one head, and he also has times when he is difficult to support left and right.

Choosing Pang Wanchun is the best candidate for Li Kui to make up for his shortcomings.

Li Kui has confidence in Pang Wanchun, that is because Pang Wanchun is the best archery person Li Kui has ever seen. Much stronger than Shi Wengong. Such a person on the battlefield is not as fierce as a military general who fights with a knife and an axe. But if you count it after the war, it must be the person who killed the most enemies. In order to cope with the increasingly difficult defenses. Li Kui had to promote him.

As for why artillery was not used?

The Iron Harrier didn't appear, so how could he reveal his hole cards?

As long as the light cavalry of the party still has the offensive power, Li Kui will definitely not take the lead in using artillery on the battlefield.

Li Kui has confidence in Pang Wanchun, but Pang Wanchun himself does not.

He followed behind Cheng Zhijie before, and only did two things: "The general has an order......

"The general said ......"

That's right, he is the herald that Cheng Zhijie left behind.

Pang Wanchun climbed up the high platform and stood beside Li Kui, he saw the party cavalry in Wuyang, gasped, swallowed saliva with difficulty, and the fishy smell of blood and gas surging before the battle made him feel dizzy and nauseous. Fortunately, after a short period of confusion, Pang Wanchun calmed down. A sharpshooter always has a way to calm himself down in the chaos.

"Ruda, tie a strip of white cloth around your arm."

Luda was puzzled, but he still did what Li Kui wanted.

And Li Kui, who was standing next to Pang Wanchun, pointed to Luda's back and said, "Pang Wanchun, can you see Luda clearly?" ”

Archers, especially sharpshooters, naturally have eyesight that ordinary people can't match. Yang Youji, who wears poplars in a hundred steps, can clearly see the leaves of the willows a hundred steps away, which ordinary people can't do at all, and Li Kui can't do it either. But this is not difficult for Pang Wanchun. The difficulty is that at what opportunity did he shoot the leaves of the willow tree swaying in the wind, when he drew the bow, when to shoot the arrow, this is Pang Wanchun's unique skill.

Before that, it was not difficult for Pang Wanchun to recognize Luda, who had obvious marks on the battlefield.

Pang Wanchun nodded and said, "Uncle, the villain can see it." ”

"That's good." Li Kui breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for Pang Wanchun, he felt that it would be more and more difficult to stop the iron hooves of the party members by continuing to use the tactics of spearmen and crossbowmen to cooperate.

After all, after the people were sleepy and tired, the party members and the recuperated army had not been put into the battlefield. Even an army that has already started a charge can attack again after resting. But the Song army could not rest at all. Of course, as the casualties of the party men increase, the offensive of the party army will become more and more weak.

Li Kui said: "Pang Wanchun, your task is to keep an eye on Luda and shoot any enemy who comes close to him. As long as you do this step, your credit for this battle is not small. ”

If Pang Wanchun is asked to shoot the enemy's main general, this is naturally a good way to do it once and for all. But because of the problem of distance, it is not necessarily easy. can let Pang Wanchun use a bow and arrow to solve the troubles around Luda, for a sharpshooter like him, it is simply easy to hold the handle. He nodded calmly and said, "Uncle, look at it!" ”

The Dangxiang people attacked again, once again trying to clear out the carts around the Song army.

In fact, many of the carts of the Song army had been broken by the iron claws of the party people, but the Song army piled up the broken carts with stones and other heavy objects in time, so that they did not become a gap caused by the impact of the party cavalry. But after a long time, Li Kui was worried that he might not be able to hold out all day. Fortunately, the party members also suffered heavy casualties, and the front of the defense line was full of corpses of the party members after they retreated.

Fortunately, there were only about 40,000 people in the party.

If there is really a hundred thousand, Li Kui estimates that no matter how easy the formation is, it will have to be explained in front of the formation. It was only after the casualties of the party members reached an unbearable number that the Song army could be regarded as truly gaining a firm foothold on the battlefield. But it was only to gain a firm foothold, and even Li Kui did not see the variables of defeating the party.

At that time, Liu Yu's Qiyue Array was built by water, and Liu Yu, who controlled the surface of the river, had sufficient preparation time to dispatch troops and provide crossbow support. Li Kui does not have these advantages. The only thing he has is a killer weapon in his hands, and the artillery has not yet been on the battlefield.

After a brief clearing of the battlefield, the Partisans attacked again. Unlike the previous times, the party members obviously invested more troops and horses, and soon the Chinese defense line where Luda was located was hit hard, and the situation became precarious.

Woohoo

After Luda rescued several crises, he found that he was a little alone in the battle array, he only had one person, and even if he could kill him, he couldn't break the courage of the party members.

The sudden arrival of a few feather arrows startled him, but he found that several party members who were dragging him had a feather arrow stuck in their faces and died on the ground.

Ruda turned his head in the direction of Pang Wanchun and raised his thumb.

What a magic arrow!

On the contrary, Li Kui was thinking about it on the side, and from the information obtained by Li Yun, Li Yun said that there were some very special cavalry among the party cavalry, and the war horses were stronger than ordinary war horses, although the speed was not fast, but the archers and horses were skillful, and the only major loss of the Song cavalry was caused by these people.

According to Li Kui's guess, these people should be the elite of the party's army.

It is very in line with the identity of the Iron Harrier, although the Iron Harrier is a heavy armored cavalry, but they usually do not wear heavy armor all day long, but put the heavy armor on the back of a special pack horse behind them, and go into battle lightly. Becoming an Iron Harrier is the glory of a Western Xia soldier, and the selection of an Iron Harrier is also the most stringent condition. Force, swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, all must be of the first-class level before they can be accepted by the Iron Harrier. The Iron Harrier, who has excellent individual combat ability, will only choose to use heavy cavalry to crush the battlefield when facing a tricky opponent. In peacetime combat, the Iron Harrier does not look much different from the ordinary light cavalry of the party. But once the two sides come into contact with each other, it will make people feel that the other side is not simple.

It's like a master duel, face to face, and you can see the strength of the other party from the momentum. And the same is true of the Iron Harrier, in weekday combat, the attack is extremely sharp, even if there is no heavy armor, the attack power is the most powerful existence in the Western Xia army.

Li Kui estimated that the battle had reached this point, and it stands to reason that the heavy armored cavalry of the party members should also go into battle.

But why, after waiting for so long, why hasn't the Iron Harrier appeared?

This made Li Kui puzzled at the same time, and at the same time, he began to mumble in his heart, could he be mistaken? There were no Iron Harriers in the Western Xia army at all.

"Retreated, the party members retreated!"

A fierce battle that lasted for nearly an hour made the tense nerves of the Song army on the verge of collapse, and when the party cavalry finally retreated, many Song soldiers sat on the ground. The captain on the side, the captain cursed, the soldier sat on the ground in armor because of overwork, let the beating and scolding, but it was difficult to get up, it is likely that this rest will make the soldier unable to stand up in the next party attack.

But the soldiers have also reached a desperate situation, and their physical strength is seriously overdrawn.

It's just past noon, and the feeling of hunger makes people yearn for rest.

"Drink a sip of salt water, don't sit on the ground, the ground is cold, and it is easy to get sick."

The fireheads appeared in front of the battle carrying warm water with sugar and salt to distribute it. But at this time, Pang Wanchun pointed to the direction of the party members' military formation and said to Li Kui: "General, something is wrong, these party members are strange. ”

Li Kui narrowed his eyes and looked hard at the military formation of the party members, and sure enough, a group of cavalry appeared in front of the formation, and the difference between these cavalry was that each of them had two or three servants.

Li Kui waited for a long time, and finally waited for the elite of the party he had been worried about-Iron Harrier. At this moment, the hair on his back seemed to stand up, and he shouted behind him: "Nian Xi, take your people and go to the front of the battle." ”

Nian Xi was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately asked the soldiers to pull the artillery jacket off the cannon. A bright yellow bronze cannon appeared in front of the battle.

The soldier pulled forward and pushed back and slowly pushed the cannon out.

In front of the party army, Liang Yishu held back the anger in his heart and did not entangle too much with Ye Limeng, but the thorn in his heart had been pierced, and the casualties of Ye Limondo's army were obviously much smaller than those of the army under his command.

But Liang Yishu couldn't take care of it at all, he knew that he was in a very dangerous situation.

Even if the casualties of Yelimondo's deployment were not as large as his, there were nearly five thousand casualties, and the casualties of the deployment under his command were almost seven or eight thousand. Liang Yishu couldn't figure out why an ordinary Song army infantry that appeared on the battlefield was so difficult to bite. It's only been half a day, and it's already caused one-third of the casualties of his troops.

At this time, Ye Limondo proposed very unconscionably: "Marshal, we might as well supervise the construction of trebuchets and slowly figure it out." ”

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!"

Liang Yishu forcibly suppressed his anger, trebuchet? Plains field warfare, with trebuchets, how did you come up with such a ridiculous tactic in your head? In particular, trebuchets take two or three days to build, and they can't be moved. What if after he had built the trebuchet, Song Jun moved the place?

Isn't that a wasted effort?

This is a field battle, not a siege.

Liang Yishu decided that Ye Limondo had come to see his jokes, and that he had given the order to attack from beginning to end, and that he had suffered huge casualties and had not changed his tactics. And he couldn't stand the Song army at all, and the army of Song was alive to see the sun tomorrow under his nose. He had more than 40,000 troops under his command, how could he be stumped by thousands of Song troops?

Liang Yishu decided to use the Iron Harrier, which was the elite of the few elites his sister gave him. It is also the most important bargaining chip for him to be able to compete with Renduo Baozhong.

If there were no Iron Harriers, would Rinda Baozhong leave the army in a bad mood because of his troubles?

The heavy iron armor exuded a silver-gray light in the sun, and that kind of cold chill instantly diffused from the army. Liang Yishu said to his cronies: "I want the Song people not to see the sun tomorrow, I want the Song people to become the carrion of wild wolves for the winter, I want the Song people to see the cruelty of battlefield killing, can you do it?" ”

"As the marshal wishes, I will trample on the corpses of the Song people and present the ultimate glory!" After leaning over on the war horse and giving a military salute, he turned his horse's head, pulled out his war knife and roared at the Song army; "Kill all the Song people!"

"Kill all the Song people!"

And in the Song army, a bronze cannon was pushed to the front of the formation, and there was a soldier holding a torch next to each artillery, which made the party people puzzled, which one of the Song people was going to make trouble?

But even if the Song people play tricks, they can't stop the charge of the iron harrier, after three or four heavy cavalry are tied up with iron chains, it is not just as simple as heavy cavalry, this is the pinnacle killing weapon that sweeps all the battlefields, iron armor chain heavy cavalry, no fear of bows and crossbows, weapon spurs. Since the founding of the Western Xia, the battlefield where the Iron Harrier was dispatched has never been unbeatable.

Liang Yishu narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction of the Song army, and he couldn't wait to go to the Song army's military formation to have a look, but it didn't work out yet, he needed to wait for the iron harrier to break down the Song army's so-called defense line and rush to pieces.

"It's coming, it's finally here!"

Li Kui was also excited, he didn't know if the artillery could block the charge of the Iron Harriers, fortunately, there were not many Iron Harriers, only more than a thousand, but the long cavalry line in Liancheng looked quite spectacular. After all, this kind of battlefield ultimate class, the entire Western Xia Dynasty is only three thousand. It is already a miracle that more than 1,000 iron harriers can appear on the edge of Jinming Village.

Among the Song army, those who have seen the Iron Harrier are veterans, and even many captains have seen the power of the Iron Harrier. Everyone sweated for the artillery.

The Iron Harrier of the Party is a killer weapon, a killer feature that has been tested countless times on the battlefield and has succeeded every time.

And the artillery of the Song army is just the product of Li Kui's temporary idea, and no one knows whether this new weapon can resist the most powerful king on the plain battlefield.

Nian Xi stood next to the artillery, surrounded by the standard-bearer of the herald, and the auxiliary units of the artillery were scurrying around in the camp, and soon stared at the butt of the main general Cheng Zhijie.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Cheng Zhijie, but the box under Cheng Zhijie's buttocks seems a little familiar.

"General, you always move your honor, we have to carry ordnance."

The auxiliaries of the artillery looked nervous at Cheng Zhijie, and they couldn't figure it out, why was their general so heroic? Cheng Zhijie looked dazed, what's wrong with him? Targeted by his artillery for no reason? He glanced down at the wooden box under his buttocks, and said curiously, "My box is not an ordnance, is it?" ”

"My lord Mingjian, it's really not ordnance, but gunpowder."

Cheng Zhijie turned his head and glanced at the bonfire not far away, this is a smoke pile used to transmit signals, and it is also a common means on the battlefield, but it is too close to the powder box under his buttocks, right? Does it really matter? At this moment, Cheng Zhijie had a kind of horror that he was about to go to the sky if he was not careful, and scolded in his heart: "That bastard wants to kill General Ben? ”
