Chapter 660: The fortifications are complete, fighting again
Chapter 660: The fortifications are complete and the battle begins again
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, there was a trembling sound from the earth.
Ramduqi was stunned for a moment, but then he regained his composure! This sound has been heard many times every day recently, and it is the harbinger of the Song cavalry attack!
"Let's go and have a look!"
Ramduzi smiled proudly. With fortifications, these cavalry can be greatly restricted! At least, it is impossible for them to directly attack the military camp!
He walked leisurely to the camp gate, and sure enough, the Song Dynasty's cavalry was rushing towards his military camp!
Groups of Tibetan soldiers and horses raised their shields or stretched their bows and arrows in defense.
"Today, I, the commander, will watch these Song troops return without success!"
Ramduzi said with a laugh.
The cavalry's attack speed was naturally very fast, but in the blink of an eye, they were only a few dozen feet away from the resisting horse.
However, under the surprised gaze of Ramduqi and a group of Tibetan soldiers, these Song troops still did not slow down.
"Are these people crazy?"
Ramduzi laughed dumbly. The impact of the cavalry was naturally great, but these resisting horses were enough to make their heads bruised and bloody! What's more, after these resisting horses, they dug out a foot-wide hole.
moat!
"Boom boom boom..."
The leading Song army saw that they were less than ten feet away from their horses. The next moment, they might be on their backs! However, at this moment, the leading group of cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads!
The horse neighed and suddenly changed its direction, almost galloping past the horse!
Looking at the uniform and orderly Song troops, Ramduqi opened his mouth wide with shock! How did these Song troops do it?
How could they be so skilled at horseback riding?
Even in the Kingdom of Jin, which is famous for its cavalry, only the most elite soldiers and horses can do this...
As for the ordinary soldiers, they were even more horrified. The performance of the Song army was almost beyond their understanding! At least, in their concept, it is impossible for the cavalry to reach such a powerful level!
Naturally, these Tubo people didn't know that the investment of this army was definitely beyond everyone's imagination!
Their horses are almost the most elite horses that can be purchased. In order to purchase this batch of war horses, they spent millions of silver taels, and they also had Wanyan Yue's help.
Even so, it took several months.
Not to mention in Tubo or the Song Dynasty, even in the Jin Kingdom, these horses were the best and most majestic war horses!
With the horses, Teng Wu and others trained day and night! There were even times when they were so tired that they fell asleep directly on the horses.
It is enough to see how far their training has reached!
Teng Wu and Cheng Yuhu's requirements are also very clear. Since they are cavalry, they must at least not be inferior to the elites of the Jin Kingdom!
The best war horses, the hardest training, and fearless battles finally created the astonishing Song Dynasty iron cavalry.
The seemingly unbelievable scene for Ramduqi and others was the result of countless days and nights by Teng Wu and others, who paid the price of life and death.
This is accidental, but it is also inevitable!
The Song army naturally ignored the Tubo people's shock! After the leading team turned their horses, the leading knight suddenly shouted, "Throw the horse hook!"
Swish, brush, brush!
Dozens of horse hooks were thrown out at the same time, and then, the group of knights suddenly clamped down on the horse's belly, and dozens of horses exerted force at the same time!
"Crack!"
A large section of the horse was pulled down directly! Then, it was dragged away by this small team...
"How can it be?"
Ramduzi finally exclaimed. This cavalry team, whether it was their skillful equestrian skills or their amazing coordination, was far beyond his imagination. There were as many as a hundred people in one team. They
How did you achieve such unity?
You know, it doesn't look difficult.
However, it requires the strength of hundreds of people to exert force at the same time. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to pull those resisting horses, but their own strength will be pulled by each other.
Only with the efforts of these hundreds of people almost at the same time can such a magical and simple scene appear!
As the saying goes, simplicity leads to greatness, and it is very appropriate to put it here.
It seems like a simple answer, but if you want to do it, it is extremely difficult!
Brush! Brush! Brush!
The Tubo soldiers who came to their senses hurriedly raised their bows and set up arrows, while the Song cavalry also fired arrows on horseback to fight back! However, although the Song soldiers were on horseback, the accuracy of their arrow rain was also extremely terrifying.
Under the horrified gaze of Ramduzi and others, a huge gap was torn open in the Juma they had built at great cost!
"call!"
Looking at the cavalry whizzing by, Ramduzi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is a trench behind the horse. Unless they can fly over directly, this trench will be enough to block this cavalry!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the cavalrymen after the first wave. Each of them was carrying a simple bag that was more than a foot long! This bag was directly carried in the hands of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and they did not know what it was packed with.
What!
The next moment, under Ramduzi's gaze, these soldiers threw the bags in their hands directly into the trench, and then turned their horses and left!
Such a thing was too simple for the Song Dynasty cavalry, so in the blink of an eye, hundreds of bags were thrown into the ditch!
"hiss!"
Ramduzi suddenly realized, "These people want to fill up the trench!"
good!
On ancient battlefields, cavalry has always been one of the sharpest weapons of war.
The distant ones include the Xiongnu, the nearby ones include the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and later the Mongols, etc. Each ethnic group relies on its iron cavalry to have a great reputation! However, the cavalry also has its own limitations, and that is the city.
As we all know, although cavalry is good at fighting, it is a bit of a headache when it comes to attacking cities.
I think back then, the reason why Wang Anshi and Han Qi in the Renzong era were able to completely suppress the arrogant Xixia was because they used city-building methods.
Advancing slowly, large and small cities were connected together, leaving the Xixia cavalry with nowhere to go. Even Li Yuanhao was helpless for a while!
However, this restriction was eventually found by Genghis Khan, a genius who later came up with a solution that was not a solution!
The reason why it is difficult for the cavalry to attack the city is because the city has a tall wall. If this is the case, then I can find a way to directly reduce the role of the wall, right?
Thus, the well-known method of mounding earth to siege a city was born!
It sounds simple, just let the cavalry stand outside the city and build a huge slope with soil, so that the cavalry can rush directly to the city wall...
