The seventh section of the military exercise was a great victory
Section 7
But Li Tian was very depressed. It was obviously the old guy Wang Ping who saw that there was no huge catapult on the top of the city, so he dared to put the catapult so close.
Five hundred archers versus one thousand archers, although they do not have an advantage in terms of numbers, Li Tian is the defender and has a good location. Taking advantage of the height, it is a tie, but when the six thousand infantrymen come up, Li Tian's manpower
But it's a bit insufficient.
There were a hundred ladders and thousands of people climbed all over the city wall like ants. Due to the suppression of the archers, Li Tian's personnel had too little room for movement, and a fierce hand-to-hand battle began on the top of the city.
After several rounds, more than half of the 6,000 people who attacked the city were killed or wounded, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Marquis Wang Ping looked at the results, waved the flag, and sounded the gong to withdraw the troops.
After seeing the post-war report sent by the drill department, the defenders actually lost 1,100 people due to interference from the attackers' stone throwing. In addition, they were killed and injured by catapults. In one fell swoop, 1,370 people withdrew.
The battle was tantamount to death. Only 3,400 enemy troops dropped out of the battle, only three ladders were damaged, and the battle ratio was not even one to three.
Li Tian made a serious protest to the drill department, and the result was four words, which was very fair.
Oh my god, there are still 3,600 people, and their heavy cavalry has not moved yet. If Wang Ping attacks with all his strength tomorrow, he can just knock open the city gate, and even if only a thousand heavy cavalry comes in, Li Tian will be defeated.
Two thousand light cavalry were killed. The heavy cavalry was mainly used for charging in battle formations. They had excellent protective armor and were basically immune to arrows.
In another headquarters, Wang Ping looked at the exercise report in his hand and said with a smile to his subordinates: "Young people are still too young."
Li Tian patted his head, fighting this old guy, the regular fighting method would definitely not work, he could only think of some strange moves, otherwise the battle would be over in one day tomorrow.
Li Tian has more than 3,000 people, and Wang Ping has more than 16,000 people. Let's take the initiative to attack and catch him off guard.
When the messenger and staff officer next to him heard this, he almost choked on the water he just drank. Although it was said that this was a war game, it was all just talk on paper. But Li Tian's spirit and nerves of doing nothing to risk death still shocked him.
.Send an order and report it to the drill department that the defenders are going to attack the enemy camp at night.
A thousand light cavalry quietly left the city in the dark. The advantage of light cavalry on the battlefield is speed. For them, the five-mile journey is not a road at all. According to the scout's report, they were specifically attacked this time.
In the left camp, there are catapults and tools for attacking the city.
The light cavalry quickly rushed into the left camp, but instead of killing people, they set fire. Torches soaked in burning oil were thrown one by one at the piles of tents and catapults with various supplies. After setting the fire, they ran away.
It was muddy and muddy, and the left camp was a sea of fire.
Wang Ping never expected that Li Tian would dare to leave the city for a sneak attack with more than 3,000 people, but as a veteran, he was still accustomed to using 4,000 light cavalry as a warning, but placed them in the main camp. When he understood, he would
When they came to chase, the group of light cavalry who set fire had already ran out of a stone's throw, which was less than 200 meters in front and back. However, the cavalry running at the rear of the defender still held a torch in his hand, as if to
Give direction to enemy soldiers.
Wang Ping ordered an all-out pursuit. When the defending light cavalry was still 500 meters away from the city gate, Li Tian's second plan also started. Fifty catapults were lined up on the top of the city, also three.
rounds of firing. Seeing the defender's last torch entering a distance of 400 meters, large rocks flew out towards the back of the defender's light cavalry. The 450 large rocks hit the pursuers. This was different from the daytime.
As soon as the cavalry in front fell down, the ones behind them bumped into each other and collided into a ball. The speed of the light cavalry was suddenly unable to be controlled at all. Most of them were knocked off their horses and lost their charging formation. At this time, Li Tian's
The light cavalry returned a carbine, and another thousand light cavalry rushed out from the city. Two thousand light cavalry killed the chaotic enemy soldiers. As soon as the cavalry fell off the horse, the whole thing was a living thing, and several sprints
When they came down, there were only about 300 enemy soldiers left. At this time, Wang Ping's heavy cavalry came in pursuit. The biggest shortcoming of the heavy cavalry was that they couldn't keep up with the speed. There was no way, because the armor they wore was too heavy.
Heavy.
Seeing the enemy's heavy cavalry, Li Tian also shouted to withdraw his troops. When the city gate suspension bridge was raised, the heavy cavalry also rushed to the scene, and they were greeted by another big stone. They were not afraid of arrows, but
There is nothing you can do about big rocks. A big rock weighing several dozen kilograms plus the impact force will kill you if it hits you.
Li Tianzhen wanted to laugh twice when he saw the report from the drill department. It said that the sneak attack was judged to be successful and the attacking light cavalry lost 3,700 people. The left camp burned 300 infantrymen and 60 catapults.
Due to the concentrated stacking of the ladders, 110 were burned and the heavy cavalry lost 380 people. However, the defender was judged to have only lost 80 light cavalry. It was truly a night attack with great success.
Master Wang Ping's righteous beard trembled wildly. He originally thought that even if the four thousand light cavalry were to kill them all, they would at least kill Li Tian's thousand men. In this case, Li Tian would still have two thousand men.
There was no way he could withstand the attack of more than 12,000 people, so he sent another 2,000 heavy cavalry to respond. Unexpectedly, Li Tian not only made a sneak attack, but also set a trap and basically ate all of his light cavalry.
"Good boy, you are playing tricks on me, why don't I teach you a lesson?" Marquis Wang Ping became angrier as he watched, and tore up the report in his hand.
The next day, the entire siege army was dispatched. The city wall was still the same as the first day, except that there were twenty more catapults.
Marquis Wang Ping looked at the infantry on the top of the city, snorted and said: "You do not care about life and death, I am not in the mood to play with you anymore. Come on, send the order, all the heavy cavalry will form a dense square formation.
The infantry follows behind, and the archers enter fifty meters to suppress the attack with bows and arrows. Everyone obeys the order and attacks the city!"
Following Wang Ping's order, more than 10,000 troops advanced slowly. His arrangements were very reasonable. The heavy cavalry was not afraid of arrows. However, Li Tian's city had few catapults and the infantry followed behind.
Entering the city, the more than a thousand people on top of the city couldn't stop them at all.
If this plan had been used on the first day, the battle would have ended long ago, but it didn't work today. When the heavy cavalry advanced to three hundred meters, ten large wooden barrels fell from the sky. This time the catapults did not throw dozens.
A big stone weighing a kilogram was replaced by ten barrels of burning oil. The barrel accurately fell into the heavy cavalry phalanx at a distance of 300 meters. The broken barrel spread the burning oil everywhere, while the other ten hurled stones
However, the cart threw a large stone with a torch tied to it. In an instant, the area three hundred meters in front of the city turned into a sea of flames.
If this were light cavalry, they could quickly pull their horses and scatter in all directions. However, the heavy cavalry moved slowly, and their armor was covered in oil. The war horses under their crotches were also covered in iron armor. Although the war horses had intelligence, they were still animals after all.
They ran around with their bodies covered in flames. Those behind them rushed directly into the infantry square. Nearly four thousand heavy cavalry with fire collided with the infantry running around, and the scene suddenly turned into a mess.
The fighter plane must not be missed. Li Tian immediately ordered the city gates to be opened and all the light cavalry to pursue them with all their might~~~~~.
A staff officer from the exercise department came in with a report, "Defending Commander, the exercise is over. This war game has determined that you are the winner."
Returning to the hall again, this time the generals looked at Li Tian in a completely different way than last time, but Marquis Wang Ping had a dark face.
Li Tian felt something was wrong, and quickly walked over and saluted, "Lord, I know that I lost on the first day. You let me go to train my commanding ability, so that I can win occasionally."
, thank you again for your kindness."
Marquis Wang Ping stared at Li Tian motionless, and slowly the expression on his face changed from gloomy to clear, and he smiled, "Hahahaha, I lost this time, but I lost happily. I didn't expect that burning oil can be used like this.
.Young man, you have a bright future. It’s a real loss if you don’t join the army. Well, I agree that you should go to the imperial palace and take an exam.”
