In a real battle, a duel between cavalry is far less shocking than a duel between infantry.

Even though it seems like their scene is bigger.

This is because cavalry battles basically come and go in a hurry, with a few charges and a few confrontations. If it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t work. Then the battle enters the mode of one side escaping and the other chasing.

among.

Both sides have four legs, which allows them to run.

But the infantry is different.

Sometimes there is nowhere to run even if you want to.

Because there are people around you, in front of you, and on your left and right, you are being pulled forward. Even if you are extremely unwilling, you can only go with the flow.

When all the people in front are dead, it's your turn to go up and fight.

Therefore, the infantrymen sometimes fell down row by row, filled up row by row, and the corpses fell to the ground. They were all so neatly arranged that it was thrilling to see.

The combat effectiveness of Pseudo-Qi's infantry is really not bad.

Some things are really strange.

You are like the army of the Puppet Qi. A large part of it comes from the former Forbidden Army around Gyeonggi. When they were fighting against the Liao army, they looked extremely weak and fell down with one blow. They were completely incompetent.

's army.

But they changed their flags, and when they came back to fight the Song army, they seemed to be completely different people, each one extremely brave.

Just like the team in front of them, when they collided with Gao Yingxiang's Yunnan Army, they first fired arrows, then used their long shields as a wall, and their spears as a forest. They advanced neatly to the beat of the drums without missing a beat.

wind.

In fact, because they were taller than the Yunnan soldiers, they still had the upper hand in such a hand-to-hand battle.

This made Gao Yingxiang a little surprised.

He realized that he had underestimated these guys. He raised his head and glanced at the fluttering pseudo-Qi flag in the distance. Under it sat the so-called King of Qi Liu Yu, probably because this man personally supervised the battle!

But Gao Yingxiang is not worried.

Because Yue Teng's cavalry has an overwhelming advantage, as long as Yue Teng cleans up the pseudo-Qi cavalry around him, it will be the end of Liu Yu.

The cavalry will definitely not get along well with the infantry fighting in formation.

But now, with the infantry of both sides fighting together, the situation is completely different.

The addition of a cavalry force at this time is enough to defeat the opponent's will to fight.

Of course Liu Yu also understands this, but he is not without backup. He has a supporting army fifty miles away!

The garrison at Xiapi is at least 5,000 strong!

As long as these five thousand fresh troops come to join the battle, he will be able to overwhelm his opponents simply by relying on their numbers.

Sometimes, quantitative changes can really drive qualitative changes.

Liu Yu just hated that his cavalry was really unsatisfactory. However, although they were defeated in an ugly way, the commander of the army knew the severity of the situation. Even though he was defeated, he did not dare to escape. He still worked hard to contain the opponent's cavalry on the left and right wings. This

It's a blessing among misfortunes.

Considering this, this person can still be used after this battle is over.

After all, it is rare for a general to be able to see the situation on the battlefield and make correct judgments.

It’s a total of fifty miles from Xiapi to here.

Before arriving here, he had already sent a messenger to inform the Xiapi garrison that they should be on the road now. Counting the time, they could walk twenty or thirty miles in half a day, or they should arrive at the battlefield at dusk.

.

By that time, both sides were exhausted, but they were a new force.

A battle can be won.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile.

If you can travel fifty miles in a day, your army is actually considered a rare elite. Basically, if the infantry can travel thirty miles in a day, it is very good.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but his face stiffened slightly. He suddenly turned his head and looked to the northwest.

There was an army there. According to statistics from his own scouts, on the highest day, the army moved a hundred miles in one day.

If we say that our army is elite, then what is this army?

At this glance, the color drained from Liu Yu's face.

He felt that he valued the other party enough. In the northwest corner, he placed an entire army of 3,000 men, waiting to wait for this army that had been fleeing crazily these days, or in other words, luring him.

Logically speaking, under such a high-intensity march, the remaining combat effectiveness of such an army is already limited. When entering the battlefield, it is great to be able to contain its own troops.

But now, not only did the opponent launch an attack brazenly, but the entire army he had placed there under his command had been routed.

Three thousand people against three thousand people, waiting for work while waiting for work, but the army is tired, and the fight is still like this?

The battle in the northwest suddenly exposed a huge flaw in the side of Liu Yu's army.

It's like a man wearing armor all over, but a piece of his ribs is missing, exposing his weakness to the enemy.

"Block them!" Liu Yu gave the order angrily, and a commanding reserve team left beside him immediately headed northwest.

Wei Wu is now a killing god.

Although Xiao Cheng never encouraged his generals to charge into battle, there were many such people among his subordinates.

Wei Wu was like this, Wang Zhu was like this, Han Yu was like this, and Yue Teng was like this.

What these generals like to do most is to rely on their own abilities to open holes for their troops, break the deadlock and win.

And they also think that this is a matter of course and a job that a general should do.

This kind of cognition is very different from Xiao Cheng's cognition.

Xiao Cheng believed that a general's responsibility should be more to command the army in combat.

However, such problems occurred repeatedly among his subordinates, and when Xiao Cheng accused them, they were quite unconvinced, which made Xiao Cheng seriously reflect.

Or maybe I was really wrong.

In this era, strictly speaking, in the era of cold weapons, this is what a general should look like?

Directing war is a matter for the commander-in-chief.

The general who leads the troops should lead the troops?

The big bow in Wei Wu's hand was made by Xiao Cheng who spent thousands of dollars on it. From the selection of the bow material to the processing and making of the bow string, it took a master-level bow master a year to make it.

This bow.

Xiao Cheng really likes his generals to tailor their weapons.

Just like the big sword that Wang Zhu is using now, with a blade that is three feet long and a handle that is two feet long. Even though Wang Zhu’s subordinates all use this kind of sword, Wang Zhu’s sword is completely the same as theirs in terms of material.

The difference between heaven and earth.

The same goes for Yue Teng's double swords.

Since his generals like to engage in such cheating, Xiao Cheng can only try every means to add another layer of insurance to their safety.

Wei Wu carried a pot of arrows on his back, and there were four soldiers around him who carried eight pots of arrows for him.

In addition to arrows on their backs, these four soldiers also had a shield and a sword in their hands. In addition to providing arrows for Wei Wu, they also had to provide protection for their general as much as possible.

Wei Wu's arrows were all fired.

The opponent's shield could not stop the sharp arrows shot from the strong bow in Wei Wu's hand.

Every arrow Wei Wu shot was an officer.

Basically, the sound of the string knocks people down, and the opponent can't even see the shadow of the arrow.

The most fundamental problem with the Puppet Qi's command being defeated so quickly was that their commander was overthrown by Wei Wu's three arrows at the first encounter.

The enemy general, like Wei Wu, charged forward and was very confident in himself.

When facing Wei Wu's Gong Yu, he didn't feel any threat to his life.

Then, he paid with his life for his wrong judgment.

The enemy's general is holding such a big bow, and there are several soldiers specializing in arrows beside him. He knows with his buttocks that his opponent is good at growing bow feathers.

Perhaps these generals despise such opponents from the bottom of their hearts.

Either he has absolute confidence in himself, or he has absolute confidence in the armor on his body. Even if he is hit by two arrows and pays a certain price, as long as he can rush to Wei Wu, it is not a clean break.

Then he heard the sound of strings,

He dodged the first arrow, missed the second, and then the third hit his throat.

Three arrows in a row, one arrow kills.

Wei Wu finished shooting the arrows on himself and his soldiers, tearing a hole in the opponent's dense army. Then he put his bow on his back, drew his sword, and rushed into the enemy group.

He not only has a knife in his hand, but also two iron feet.
