Chapter 2: The Last Stand (Part II)

Yue Fei stroked his palms and laughed: "Great! Brother Yixu has encountered any danger on this trip?" Li Ruoxu smiled and said: "A trivial matter, are you still afraid of being scared if you die." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yue Fei and he looked at each other and smiled, and their feelings of pity were all in plain sight.

After Li Ruoxu left, Yue Fei and the others immediately began to discuss the battle. Luo Tianchu said: "What is the place of Zhuxian Town, and why did the Golden Vulture choose it as the battlefield?" Yue Fei unfolded the map and said: "It is a small town fifty miles away from Bianliang, and outside the town is a vast plain, there are no hills and woods, and the battlefield is set there. Luo Tianchu muttered: "The wilderness battle is the best cavalry, the Jurchens have lived on horseback since childhood, they can already ride horses when we can walk, riding and horse fighting are higher than us, and there are more than us, this battle is very unfavorable to us." Yue Fei nodded and said: "Prime Minister Li Gang once said: 'Since ancient times, the lord of Zhongxing originated in the northwest, which is enough to live in the Central Plains and have the southeast; Although this theory is not absolute, the horses of the south are not as good as the north in terms of physique, speed, and endurance. Although the cavalry is brave, but the number is only 5,000, although the combat effectiveness is not inferior to the northerners, but the quality and quantity of the war horses are far from enough, as a sneak attack is more than enough, to fight the frontal battlefield, I am afraid to rely on the 30,000 cavalry of Guibao. Luo Tianchu said: "It should be effective, didn't the war horses that Qin Hui bought from Tubo assign Yue Shuai some?" Yue Fei shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "He gave it to his descendant Zhang Jun, and the number of cavalry in Zhang Jun's army is the largest in my dynasty." Luo Tianchu said: "I have heard of Zhang Jun, he and Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Yue Shuai are listed as the four generals of contemporary Zhongxing, then Zhang Jun is the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, why can't he even capture a Ying Tianfu in this Northern Expedition? If he assists, the battle of Zhuxian Town will be much more certain." ”

Yue Fei sighed: "Although Zhang Jun is handsome, he is greedy and lustful, his houses and fields are all over the world, and his family has a huge fortune. His task in this Northern Expedition is to send troops to respond, attack Ying Tianfu, to reduce the pressure on our side, I guess it should be Qin Hui secretly instructed, he did not attack for a long time, and now Jin Guo came to make peace, he took the opportunity to withdraw to the defense area, only we are alone in the depths, and there is no foreign aid to help. Luo Tianchu said: "Then we rely on ourselves, we didn't expect them, can Yue Shuai understand the tactics used by the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom?" Yue Fei said: "The cavalry of the Jin Kingdom come and go like the wind, burning and looting like locusts, and there has been no large-scale cavalry battle so far, I guess it should still be the traditional routines of the Chinese army, two wings, and rear bows and arrows." Luo Tianchu smiled bitterly: "Then it seems that there is no other way but to fight hard, as long as we are united, there is still the possibility of victory." ”

At this time, Yue Yun said: "My subordinates have a few words to say. At this time, the wounds on his buttocks were all scarred, and although they were a little painful, they no longer affected his walking. Yue Fei nodded and said, "Let's talk about it." Yue Yun said: "I have read a history of the war between the Jin State and the former Liao State, these two countries are horseback peoples, and most of them are immediately engaged when they fight, and the strength is almost the same, but the Jin State has used two horse war methods, and the Liao State has been defeated several times. Yue Fei looked at him appreciatively and said, "This is my negligence, I haven't studied the previous battles of the Jin Army, you can talk about it." Yue Yun was very excited by his father's encouragement, and said: "Those two tactics have names, one is called 'Kidnapping Horse', and the other is called 'Tiefutu', both of which are specifically for cavalry against cavalry. Because the most important thing in cavalry battles is the impact force, and the impact force of three horses is far greater than that of one, and it is a big advantage when fighting. Yue Fei and Luo Tianchu nodded frequently, and Yue Yun continued: "Then the Tiefutu is even more powerful, it is the elite of the elite of the golden soldiers, the cost of building an Tiefutu cavalry is three times that of the light cavalry, it is a heavy armored cavalry armed to the teeth, the armor of the warrior is impermeable, the head is wearing a hood, and only the eyes have a thin slit to see people." The war horse is also wearing chain mail, fully armed, no matter the weapon and arrows are difficult to hurt the enemy, imagine that this ironclad cavalry is a moving torrent of steel, and the name of the iron float map also comes from this. The vast open space in front of Zhuxian Town is most suitable for cavalry combat, and the abducted horse and Tiefutu are the nemesis of cavalry, and there is no reason why Jin Wushu should not use it. ”

Luo Tianchu asked: "How many Tiefu maps do you estimate the Jin Army?" Yue Yun muttered: "When I fought against the Liao State, it was only two thousand, and it was too expensive to build the Tiefu Map, even if it was the Jin State, it would be difficult to expand the army on a large scale, and it was not very useful in peacetime, I estimate that there should be about three or four thousand now." Yue Fei said: "Lord Luobao doesn't ask about the kidnapping horse, only asks Tiefutu, is there a way to break the kidnapping horse?" Luo Tianchu said: "I don't dare to say 'broken', I can only say that there is a way not to be controlled by the kidnapping horse." The impact of the three horses is very strong, but the flexibility is not good, as long as you knock down a horse, unless you can immediately untie the chain, otherwise the remaining two horses will also be dragged and can't run, my idea is that our cavalry are equipped with hook and sickle guns, first send a row to meet the enemy, when they meet with the kidnapping horses, the cavalry all jump off their horses, so that the empty horses and the Jin army collide, so as to greatly offset the impact of the Jin army, our infantry can calmly use the hook and sickle to cut off the horse's legs, the first row of the enemy will be paralyzed, and the cavalry behind is also blocked, and then the infantry withdraws, the archers in the distance can release arrows, those light cavalry is a group of live targets, and when the Jin soldiers adjust and attack again, we will send a platoon of cavalry to do the same, so that a few rounds can greatly weaken the strength and sharpness of the opposing side, and the last time we fight to the death in one go, the momentum will disappear, and we can defeat the weak over the strong. ”

Yue Yun clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Good fighting method, but how to deal with Tiefutu? We can't stop that iron-armored torrent rushing over." Yue Fei smiled and said: "There is no absolute thing in the world, the heavy armor on the cavalry itself is a weakness, imagine that the people and horses are wearing such heavy iron armor, the load of the horse is too heavy, and they can't run fast and can't run far, and our cavalry is lightly armed, the enemy comes and I go, the enemy walks and I chase, and the ironclad war horse can be dragged down in a few miles, although the war horse is also fully armed, but it will never be stricter than the person, when our cavalry shoots the horse down with a bow and arrow, and the knight who has fallen from the horse wears such heavy armor and wants to get up from the ground, isn't it a matter of being slaughtered?" Yue Yun stroked his palms and said: "The 'Kidnapping Horse' and the 'Tiefu Map' have been broken, and the Jin Army is finally at the end of the mountain. Yue Fei said lightly: "What we are talking about is just theory, on the battlefield is completely another matter, whether the tactics can play a role depends on the on-the-spot command." Don't forget that the cavalry of the Jin army is more than ten times that of ours, and we are the inferior side, and we must not underestimate the enemy. Yue Yun said: "Yes." (To be continued.) )
