Chapter 58 Tactics II

If Liu Yanzhen's carefully cultivated horse spleen is used to deal with infantry, it may also have a certain effect. However, this kind of slow and stiff tactics will be hit by the Manggu's evil tactics, which are famous for their flexibility. nemesis.

The beautifully carved wooden shields were useless. The red-turbaned soldiers did not shoot at people but at horses. The fallen horses became a burden and fell like weights, making the cavalry in a row unable to move. They were simply living targets. .

The soldiers of Hongjindu rushed forward on horseback, aimed at the Tang army unhurriedly, and fired an arrow. The arrow penetrated the wooden shield and plunged into the chest of the Tang soldier before turning his horse and driving away.

The tactics invented by the Mongols in practice is a life-and-death game. If you can put life and death aside, you can maximize your potential. Seeing the red-turban soldiers galloping back and forth as if they were strolling in a garden, Xu Xian was almost certain of this. The battle is half won.

Before Xian Shilang arrived with his troops, Zhou's soldiers ran away again. Xian Shilang looked at the embarrassed appearance of the horse and cursed in his heart: "I have told you that this is of no use, and today I have become a target for Zhou's army." "

He immediately ordered Ma Pi to untie the iron chain, and he divided into two groups to attack the Zhou army from the east and west, and then encircled the north. He was full of good plans, but the Zhou army seemed to see through his plan, turned around and returned from the north. Nanbian rushed out, biting his tail and shooting fiercely.

Xian Shilang had never seen such a battle. This group of Zhou army cavalry was like a swarm of erratic mosquitoes and flies. Whenever he got the chance, he would bite him hard and fly away again before he could reach out to swat him. No way to start

If this continues, his soldiers will collapse sooner or later. He glances at the Zhou army infantry in the distance again. That may be his only chance to interrupt the opponent's rhythm. As long as the cavalry comes to save him, it will be considered as taking the initiative. passive.

Xian Shilang made up his mind, turned his horse and rushed towards Bai Yanyu. When Wu Liang saw this, he said to Xu Xian: "They are going to attack Bai Yuhou, what should we do!"

"Don't worry about him. If Bai Yanyu can't stop us, we won't be able to save him. You lead half of your troops to entangle this group of shielded cavalry, and I'll lead the other half to surround Wei and rescue Zhao!"

Xu Xian immediately ordered five hundred soldiers to go straight to the central formation of the Tang Army from the front. He looked at the iron caltrops on the ground in front of the formation. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The two sides were obviously fighting in the field, but the other side actually drew the ground to trap him. It's like cutting off one's limbs.

Moreover, the defense line set up by the Tang army was too narrow, only a hundred steps. Xu Xian had clearly attacked them at a hundred and fifty steps before. If it wasn't that the commander didn't pay attention, then there was something wrong with his head. But when he thought of the iron chains strung together by the cavalry, I don't think there's anything strange anymore.

Xu Xian led his men to Juma and ordered: "I saw that the handsome flag did not shoot hard for me."

Jiubao said: "It's a little far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot."

"Shoot as far as you can! What are you doing in a daze? Look at Dakui already taking action."

Everyone in the Red Scarf City raised their divine arm crossbows, fired their weapons and fired a hail of arrows in the direction of the commander's flag. A rain of blood immediately splashed about seventy or eighty steps in front of the commander's flag of the Tang army.

Liu Yanzhen was born into a family of generals, and had learned martial arts when he was young. However, his martial arts had become loose after years of pampering, and his courage and courage had long been worn away. Although he held a military position, he had never led an army in a battle.

When death was only seventy or eighty steps away from him, Liu Yanzhen was extremely frightened and loudly ordered the soldiers to come out of the formation to drive Xu Xian away. The leader of the soldiers, Ruan Xiaoyu, quickly advised: "Commander, we have set up a barrier around the formation.

The horses have scattered iron caltrops again. No matter they want to charge into the battle, or we want to go into battle, it will not be easy. Just ask the soldiers to fight back with bows and arrows."

The archers of the Tang Army didn't fight back, but the target was too far away and they couldn't hit it. They could only watch helplessly as the Zhou Army kept shooting arrows into their own camp. Wherever the arrows landed, there was a panic and commotion.

Liu Yanzhen was furious, "How dare Xian Shilang disobey my command, call him back quickly!"

Ruan Xiaoyu wondered: "It's not convenient to go out now and I'm afraid of being blocked by the Tang army..."

"Idiot, don't you all have a mouth?"

As a result, a jaw-dropping scene appeared on the battlefield. Ten thousand infantry were asking for help from more than a thousand cavalry who were fighting hard.

"General Xian, the commander-in-chief orders you to quickly return reinforcements!"

The flesh on Xu Xian's face couldn't help but twitch. What kind of treasure is this Tang Kingdom's coach? He can issue such a stupid military order, but this is exactly what he wants.

Xian Shilang knew that the Northern Army was strong, but he did not expect that the Northern Army's infantry could be so brave when facing the cavalry. He led nearly 1,500 elite cavalry, but he only fought evenly with the Zhou Army's infantry of just over 2,000.

.

He originally wanted to break up the Zhou army's infantry and then attract Xu Xian to rescue him, and take the opportunity to confront him head-on. Unexpectedly, he didn't even manage to break up the Zhou army's infantry, and plunged into the fierce spear formation of the Zhou army's infantry.

Didn't get out of it.

How could the military men in the north be so easy to deal with? During the Kaiyun Year of the Later Jin Dynasty, it was this group of military men who killed the Khitan cavalry and lay them dead for thirty miles. The Khitan cavalry was no match for them, let alone the cavalry of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The northern soldiers had always been strong in combat, but they lacked determination, blood and money, so later Shi Chonggui became stingy like Li Cunxu, and the soldiers followed Du Chongwei and surrendered to Yelu Deguang without even using their swords or weapons.

Liu Yanzhen wanted the heads of Zhou's soldiers to be used as a Jingguan. How could they be willing to give him the head? Everyone fought desperately. The battle between the cavalry and the infantry that should have been quick and easy turned into a hand-to-hand fight. The soldiers from both sides were entangled. The advantages of the cavalry

Can't get the slightest bit of performance.

Seeing that Xu Xian did not come to the rescue but instead took the opportunity to attack the Chinese army, Xian Shilang regretted it. Now he would be resented by Liu Yanzhen. Even if he did not chop off his head immediately, he would inevitably impeach him if he turned around.

When he heard the Tang army's cry for help, Liu Yanzhen ordered his cavalry to leave the battlefield, gathered less than a thousand men, and then rushed towards Xu Xian. Xu Xian turned around and killed him, looking at the enemy general who was rushing to the front with an anxious face.

A sneer appeared on Xu Xian's lips, "You finally showed up! Brothers, change your guns!"

Upon hearing this, the red-turbaned soldier hung the divine arm crossbow on the saddle, picked up the spear hanging on the horse's belly, and rushed towards the Tang army's cavalry.

Xu Xian took the lead, holding a gun in front of his chest with both hands, the tip of the gun reaching the enemy general. Xian Shilang was secretly happy when he saw this. He could finally fight with the Zhou army's cavalry with real swords and spears. Seeing that the opponent was only weak at his age, he probably didn't know how to shoot.

That's great, Xian Shilang has enough confidence to defeat the opponent in one confrontation.

The two sides were getting closer and closer. Xian Shilang was already secretly accumulating strength in his hands, waiting for the distance to close to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Xian. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly raised the gun above his head. Just when Xian Shilang was confused, he saw

Xu Xian had already thrown the gun fiercely, and a wave of horses' heads rushed to the side.
