Chapter 593: Whirlwind Slash
Being looked down upon by Li Kui is not a big deal.
Emperor Zhao Xu of the Great Song Dynasty was often despised by Li Kui, of course, this contempt was behind his back, and Li Kui would not show his evil and meaningful smile in front of Zhao Xu.
If you do, will you not die?
An official who even despises his own emperor, what will this kind of person scruple about doing things?
But in Li Kui's view, this is indeed the case. Emperor Zhao Xu is nothing more than that, except for many wives, that's it. But Zhao Xu's body can't afford to toss so many wives. Many of the emperor's concubines, by the time the emperor died, they were still a few. There are countless wives, so it's not fragrant.
There is also Li Bingqian, the emperor of Western Xia, who experienced the embarrassing scene of being scolded by Li Kui in public. At that time, Li Bingqian was nothing, but even if Li Bingqian overthrew the Liang regime with the help of Li Kui, he was still despised by Li Kui, which made people unbearable.
The Eastern Land, the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, and the Western Xia, were considered the most powerful countries.
Two of the emperors were despised by Li Kui, like Ali Gu, the king of the country of Ao who was entrenched in the land of the river, and wanted to be despised by Li Kui, but he didn't have a chance?
Speaking of which, Li Kui despises the ghost pupil of Lanzhou Qingtang, which is worthy of him!
But Ghost Hitomi definitely can't think like this, he doesn't know Li Kui, and he doesn't know Li Kui's brilliance. He only knew one thing, the Song people of 3,000 people actually despised him for the general of the country with 15,000 male soldiers, how could he endure this?
What's more, Oni Hitomi doesn't see any reason for her to fail.
Song Jun was too arrogant.
Arrogance has to pay the price for arrogance, and the best price is that the Song army is completely annihilated by him. Then he acquired all the cavalry equipment of the Song army.
Thinking of the cavalry equipment of the Song army, even the ghost pupil couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it was too tempting.
In the eyes of the ghost pupil, where is the Song army 3,000 elites, but 3,000 sheep in armor. But reality will soon crush and shatter his self-confidence. By the time he found out how powerful Song Jun was, it was too late to say anything.
"Bring General Ben's armor!"
The ghost pupil who came down from the city immediately thought of his precious cavalry armor.
When the two countries were on good terms, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty set up a field for each other, and the Great Song Dynasty exchanged the war horses, cattle and sheep produced in Qingtang for tea and iron tools of the Great Song Dynasty. But armor is certainly not a weapon that is within the scope of the bargain trade. But the Great Song Dynasty also had a trading model - tribute. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty will accept the Western Regions, or small countries from overseas, to pay tribute every year.
At the height of the Tang Dynasty, tributary trade reached its peak.
Chang'an even once had 100,000 envoys from various countries, and they didn't want to leave......
Although the Great Song Dynasty was not as influential as the Tang Dynasty, no matter how weak the Central Plains Dynasty was, it would be more or less favored and loyal to some small countries. Before the country, he was the firm little brother of the Great Song Dynasty. The kingdom would also regularly pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for some luxury goods that could not be traded in the market. And the exquisite craftsmanship and well-made armor of the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly the most enviable reward for the warriors of the country.
The Great Song Dynasty also gave it, and the number was not much, but it was enough for the king of the country to distribute these armors to the generals of his cronies.
The ghost pupil has a family heirloom armor, tiger head fish scale armor.
This armor is actually nothing in the Great Song Dynasty, a well-made armor, even if it costs one or two hundred yuan, is affordable for the Song army.
At least the cavalry will be able to equip it.
Compared with the Central Plains, a war horse in good condition, the price of thousands of pieces of armor is nothing.
Ghost Hitomi knew that his armor was not very good among the Song army, and it would be better if there was a military armor. He stared at the big black armor under the banner of the Song army.
More majestic than his, more shining than his, especially the reflection of the black of the war horse under the step, which is as bright as satin in the sun. Ghost Hitomi couldn't help but want to occupy everything in this ignorant Song General.
Otherwise, it is a native of a small place in the poor mountains, and the ghost pupil never thought that there was also a big demon king in the Song army, and this person's name was Li Kui. At this moment, Li Kui's clothes were draped, but the ghost pupils were staring at him.
He rushed out of the city gate with his personal guards, raised his hand and pointed his long knife at the Song army and shouted to the surroundings: "Sons, follow me to kill and leave the Song general under the banner to General Ben, who will chop him alive!" ”
These words swelled in momentum, and a group of people who didn't know why, but were full of confidence, shouted: "Ghost pupils! ”
"Oni Hitomi!"
It seems that at this moment, the name of the ghost pupil can really resound across the earth and become an eternal legend in the land of the river.
Self-confidence is a very strange thing, and shouting two sentences seems to really work.
The ghost pupil immediately slashed, and behind him was Lanzhou City, which they had sneak attacked. Behind him, more and more soldiers poured out of the city gates. This was an opportunity for cavalry. Taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, a sudden attack can achieve miraculous results.
The deputy general of the cavalry of the Song army was Zhang Chuan.
He looked nervously at Li Kui, who was unmoved, the Song army had stopped marching, and it was ten arrows outside Lanzhou City, that is, a distance of about four miles and fifteen hundred steps. Rushing at this distance, there is a high probability that it will break the array of the soldiers and rush into Lanzhou City in one go.
Zhang Chuan kindly reminded: "My lord, do you order the drum charge!" ”
"Charge, are you stupid? We are all cavalry, and the battlefield of the cavalry is in the wilderness, and the cavalry that storms into the city is still cavalry? Besides, if we have infantry to meet us, we can try to rush and wait until we take the gates, and then move into the city to fight. It's a pity that we are cavalry, and the cavalry should be on the steppe and cut off the opponent's head! ”
Li Kui said that he did not give a military order.
Zhang Chuan was really anxious, and said eagerly: "My lord, don't miss the opportunity!" ”
"You know a hammer, if it looks like it's an opportunity, it's really an opportunity?" Li Kui did not command cavalry battles, this was in the Song army, but in Western Xia, he commanded 20,000 cavalry. But even so, he also understood a truth, regardless of the large battle of tens of thousands of troops, it was those three or five thousand people who really played a decisive role on the battlefield.
The cavalry of the Song army under Li Kui's command now echoed this condition.
Rushing into the city, although it was a huge deterrent to the soldiers, but for Li Kui, the gains outweighed the losses, and without the coordination of the infantry, the battle situation might be stalemate. In particular, Gao Yu's infantry arrived on the battlefield two days later. He simply gave up the siege and said to Zhang Chuan: "Order the whole army to enter the rear slope diagonally." ”
"My lord, what if the soldiers rush over?"
Although Zhang Chuan is familiar with Li Kui, he can only be submissive to Li Kui in the past, and he has no part to speak at all. But cavalry combat is his specialty, and in his opinion, although Li Kui is extremely brave on the battlefield, his achievements are proud. But the operations that Li Kui commanded in Yan'an Mansion before were all infantry and cavalry coordination, and Li Kui commanded in the infantry formation, in Zhang Chuan's view, Li Kui was completely a layman in the cavalry battle.
Zhang Chuan wanted to persuade, mainly because he felt it was an opportunity.
After all, compared to the number of people, the Song army must be the one who suffers.
But no matter how much he says, he can't refute a fact, as long as Li Kui is in the army, he won't be able to say anything.
Especially Ruan Xiaoer rolled his eyes and said disdainfully to Zhang Chuan: "Zhang Chuan, you can't follow Li Yun." Look at the masters, I followed my young master to Western Xia, not to mention my young master, even your second master has commanded thousands of cavalry battles. My young master was in Western Xia, and at most he commanded an army of 100,000. Five hundred to ten thousand, have you heard of it? ”
As far as Ruan Xiaoer's expression was concerned, he said that he was the 'second master', but in Zhang Chuan's ears, it was like the 'second master', which made him uncomfortable.
Zhang Chuan was extremely stunned, he stared at Ruan Xiaoer with an ugly face, and said in his heart: "Isn't it just blowing?" You think I won't? ”
It's a pity that Zhang Chuan also knows that the official university crushed people to death. For military generals, even if the civilian officials on the battlefield kill all the big guys, there is no way at all.
"Big brother, don't ink, listen to adults, he fights better than you."
If others say this, Zhang Chuanfei will take out the majesty of a general to train well. But when he turned his head, he found that it was his cousin. It was as if a sharp knife had been inserted into his heart, full of betrayal and anger. Even his cousin couldn't trust him, let alone the other generals and soldiers of the Fei Lian Army.
In desperation, Zhang Chuan had no choice but to order: "Listen to Master Li." ”
The Song army began to turn in whole formations, and the total number of cavalry was only 3,000, and it was very easy to move in the wide field. But the ghost pupil is different, he commanded more than 10,000 people, and after occupying Lanzhou, he found that there was a lot of food, and some were recruited, and the total strength had reached 15,000. It is not easy for such an army to fight as a whole.
"General, the Song people want to escape!"
When Ghost Hitomi saw that Song Jun wanted to escape, he suddenly became anxious.
In his opinion, the Song army would not be able to fight on horseback at all. He was very worried before, afraid that the Song army would suddenly attack and catch him off guard while he was reorganizing his army at the city gate.
But when he saw the scene of Song Jun leaving, he suddenly burst with confidence, thinking that he had the chance to win.
It was reasonable for 3,000 cavalry to flee in the face of more than 10,000 cavalry. The people around Ghost Hitomi didn't say the wrong thing.
But where did he think that Li Kui did not let Song Jun put on the illusion of evacuation, but actually ran diagonally to the slope. If you go straight uphill, the cost of the war horse will be much larger, but if you cut the uphill land diagonally, the cost of the war horse will be much smaller.
This was a tactic he learned from the Tanguts.
Tactics that belong to the field.
Among the Song army, this tactic was not very useful. But the cavalry had to occupy the high ground and charge, and the same principle was true.
Seeing that a large sum of wealth was about to slip away from his eyes, the ghost pupil yelled at his subordinates, "How many people are still in the city? ”
"General, at least 5,000 people, our war horses are all raised in the city, and many soldiers have not found their own war horses. I'm afraid the city is already in chaos. ”
The subordinates had no choice but to tell the truth.
The ghost pupil angrily scolded: "A group of rabble, now that the battle is in front of you, how can they let them ruin my good deeds." So that they don't have to go out of the city, they will cheer for the general at the head of the city. ”
Ghost Hitomi also knows that there will be a lot of trouble caused by the expansion of the army. For example, the speed of the army, the formation of the charge. In addition, the cavalry training of the country is not as good as the elite of Western Xia at all, and it is acceptable to be casual. But if Song Jun ran away, he wouldn't even have a place to regret it.
Resolutely ordered: "The whole army catches up!" ”
The Qingtang cavalry began to let the war horses trot and bite the Song cavalry.
The physical energy consumed by the war horse charge is too great, and once it charges too early, it is an immeasurable loss to the loss of combat power. This point, the ghost pupil is still clear.
The distance didn't get much closer, but the ghost pupil muttered in his heart: "This sun doesn't seem to be quite right!" ”
The Song army, who walked the slope, did not seem to have any intention of escaping. But he had to cheer up. Could it be that the Song army also learned cavalry tactics, and it was better than his?
It's impossible!
Ghost Hitomi is also thinking about it, because the pursuit is a long process. It is a process that tests the endurance of the army. At the same time, when he was on a horse, he could not be as excited as burning blood, and the cavalry needed to restrain his emotions, and at the moment when the attack was launched, it was like a lit bonfire, bursting out at once.
More often than not, the cavalry was silent and a long waiting process.
It's like a hunter, a hunter who pursues his prey, if he is like a wild boar that strays into the bushes, he will never want to hit a decent prey in his life.
Ghost Hitomi is not a straw bag general, he is still a bit dry.
At the same time, he needs to constantly observe the terrain.
As the pursuit of the two armies became longer and longer, it was actually not too long. However, the poor discipline of the soldiers has been exposed.
Ghost Hitomi noticed that the line was too long, and shouted to the deputy next to him, "Keep up, let everyone follow." ”
Just when he gave the order, before the order could be given.
Suddenly, the guards beside him shouted: "General, the Song army has turned a corner!" ”
Ghost Hitomi raised her head, and when she found this moment, her heart suddenly became nervous. In the process of his realization, Song Jun made a decisive turn, and after turning the corner, Song Jun turned his back to the sun. And the Song army, standing at a higher place, began to urge the war horse, and the moment he accelerated, he suddenly found that this Song army was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.
But even if it is difficult to deal with, Ghost Pupil has enough self-confidence, and he still has the elite under the tent of five thousand kings under his command.
These are regular soldiers, skilled in bows and horses, and although their weapons and armor are not as good as those of the Song army, if they really fight, the victory or defeat will definitely be on his side. After all, there are many others.
After Li Kui led the team to complete the turn, he ordered Zhang Chuan: "Divide into six teams of cavalry, stop the waist and rush the Tibetan soldiers." ”
Zhang Chuan only realized at this time that Li Kui really knew cavalry. Because when he turned his horse's head, he found that tens of thousands of cavalry were lying in front of him. Such a thin military formation collapsed with a slight rush, and the soldiers had to adjust their direction. Once the army of Fan collapsed, the victory would inevitably belong to the Fei Lian army. In particular, a thousand-man team deployed by the Fan army, although it bypassed the Song army, climbed higher than the Song army. But it was far away from the Song army, and it was impossible to pose a threat to the Song army at all.
When the battle flag fell, the Song army launched a charge.
High battles are low, which already occupies the absolute superiority of cavalry operations. And, when you look up, you can see the sun. This is also a taboo for soldiers. If the soldiers retreat immediately at this time, they may still be able to entangle, but it must be too late to give the order at this time.
Bang
Bang
The dust of thousands of war horses galloping hard swept in the overwhelming murderous aura rolling in.
When the two armies collided, the Song army was like a red-hot knife, inserted into the frozen lard.
Sting!
The cavalry formation of the soldiers was immediately divided, and the sky shook with the shouts of killing. The battle began instantly, but in an extreme time, as the last group of Song troops left to kill, leaving behind a mess, like hell on earth.
When the ghost pupil saw this scene, he was immediately frightened and stunned, he slashed like a whirlwind, and in less than half a pillar of incense, he lost at least three thousand men and horses, is this still the Song army?
