Chapter 358 Diplomacy is sometimes better than a million soldiers
Now that he has decided to have a good fight, Ye An will never hold back. If he shows cowardice at this time, there will be more and more interceptions. The team of more than 500 people is not small. If you want to It is not impossible to reset the card interception.
The car was placed in the center of the army, and the five hundred cavalry were divided into two armies, the front and rear. Sixty soldiers escorted the car, and a stable military formation appeared. The five hundred cavalry, with men and horses in armor, appeared outside Xingping County, on the opposite side. The flag of the Dingbian Army has been raised. Ye An turned to Ding Xiaoyi who was in the front army and said: "Fold the flag to kill!"
As Ye An's words fell, Ding Xiaoyi rushed out with thirty people. Knowing that there was a horse trap and a horse rope on the opposite side, he used the wing-skipping method. Thirty heavy armored cavalry set off from the side army. After sprinting, increase the speed to the highest level, then move in a roundabout way like a scimitar to avoid the frontal military formation and insert from the side.
The horsemanship skills of the Xi Lie Army cavalry may not be as good as those of the Dangxiang and Khitan people, but they are much stronger than the Song Army, especially the collective quality, which is not comparable to the Song Army.
Ding Xiaoyi led the cavalry like the tip of a knife into the Dingbian Army's formation. With the speed of the horses, he could easily pierce the enemy's body by just lifting the horseshoe without using any force. Even if he had armor, it was useless. , faced with such a fast horse speed and a horse that was specially designed to break armor, the armored infantry of the Dingbian Army had no power to fight.
Ma Shan easily passed through the first person. The stick of the stick was curved like a fully stretched bow. When it reached the maximum arc, it quickly popped out and threw the body on top of the stick. At the moment when it was thrown out, the gun rod straightened. And it can take away a second life.
In fact, there is no need to fight to the military flag. Ding Xiaoyi only needs to get closer and lead his men to throw out gunpowder bombs. This is a gunpowder bomb that can ignite the fuse by friction with flint. It is more convenient, faster and more powerful to use.
Dozens of gunpowder bombs exploded in the military formation. The thick flagpole was instantly shattered by the explosion, and the fluttering flag slowly fell down in the air. It was not that the Dingbian army did not have gunpowder bombs, nor was it ignorant of firearms, but that Planting something is too far away for them. They have only heard of it but never used it.
Having firearms and being equipped with standard firearms are completely different things. Ganliang's army is not only equipped with firearms, but also uses them all year round. They have rich practical experience. Many of them are sharpshooters fed by bullets. This is considered the most elite army in the Song Dynasty. It's also incomparable.
Ding Xiaoyi easily fought his way out of the bombed-out military formation. There were too many soldiers fleeing in all directions, and even the military formation of more than a thousand people had begun to shake due to the charge of these thirty cavalry.
The flag-folding killing power is very effective. They are all members of the Song Dynasty. The soldiers of the Western Lie Army do not want to kill too much. If the opponent is defeated, it is undoubtedly the best thing.
However, Li Kangqian and Tian Shizhen did not intend to give up. They originally planned to surround and kill the thirty knights, but unexpectedly their flags were broken. This made their anger reach its peak. Li Kangqian did not want to admit that he was leading the army than Ye. An was so wrong, but Tian Shizhen was angry at Ye An's audacity.
This is the Dingbian Army of Jingzhao Prefecture, and it is the forbidden army of the country. As a minister of the Song Dynasty, shouldn't he come to pay homage when he is blocked? How dare he come to provoke?!
But the two of them ignored one thing. The two sides fighting were completely in two states. Ye An's side was the elite of the Xi Lie Army, let alone the Song Army. Even if they were facing the Dangxiang people, the Khitan people were not afraid. What's more, The Imperial Guards stationed in Jingzhao Mansion? In their eyes, they are nothing more than local chickens and wagyu~
In the eyes of the Dingbian Army, the opposite side is the Yunzhong Commandery and Marquis, known as the "Demon General", and his Ganliang elite who are too powerful to fight against! Yong
Who in the military doesn't know that "Yumen is in Huaiyuan Town in Ganzhou, and Dangxiang is defeated in Xilie in Liangzhou"?!
Thirty cavalry had just penetrated like scimitars, and the sharpness of the flag-breaking killing force could be seen. The soldiers of the Dingbian Army were scolded by Li Kangqian and Tian Shizhen to stabilize the army again, and all the spearmen were placed at the front to resist The elite cavalry on the opposite side charged again, but this time they made a big mistake.
Ye An, wearing armor, was sitting on a war horse and looking out. After a casual look with his military skills, he found that the number of people on the opposite side had decreased significantly. It was obvious that some people did not intend to risk their lives here, especially since all the soldiers had appeared on the flanks. Array...
"Deterrence!"
Following Ye An's order, the soldiers of the Western Lie Army shouted at the same time: "Those who surrender their weapons will not be killed, those who flee will not be pursued, and those who resist will die!"
In order to bring more weapons and equipment, Ding Xiaoyi did not bring a military drum with him this time, so he had to rely on roaring to intimidate the enemy. However, the Xilie Army who had the upper hand had a loud voice, which was enough to scare Dingbian, who had already taken a blow. The army is timid.
Sure enough, the military formation on the opposite side wavered again, but this time Li Kangqian couldn't sit still. Dressed in black mountain armor, he actually dared to stand in front of the army and yelled at Ye An: "Ye An! How dare Zhu Zian do this! I am here to capture you under the order of the imperial court, and I am going to capture you without restraint!" Yong
He reached out and picked up the musket from the horse pocket behind his back. With a bang, the helmet on Li Kangqian's head was knocked off by Ye An. The red tassel shattered in the air. A burst of cheers broke out from the Xi Lie Army: "General, you are mighty!"
Ye An frowned and looked at the musket in his hand and said to Ding Xiaoyi who was covered in blood: "The accuracy was still a bit off, I aimed at his head but it hit the helmet..."
The corner of Ding Xiaoyi's mouth twitched. This was already a very high accuracy. How could he hit it wherever he pointed? He didn't know that if the musket continued to develop, its accuracy would become higher and higher.
Li Kangqian opposite was already frightened. Of course he knew how powerful firearms were, but he didn't expect that the firearms in Ye An's hands were so terrifying. He hurriedly turned around and returned to the army when he saw the expressions of his soldiers as if they were mourning for their heirs, and he was filled with emotion in his heart. A moment of despair.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi had already commanded the front troops to dismount. He took the muskets taken off the horses in his hands, loaded them in three rows, aimed, and fired. There was a popping sound like fried beans, but no thick white smoke appeared. , but the soldiers in front of the Dingbian Army fell down like wheat.
At this time, the Dingbian Army did not know that they had entered the shooting range of the Xi Lie Army. Three hundred steps may be the limit of the crossbow projectile, and they still need to project it from high to low on the city wall, but for the musket, it has already entered the effective range. …
The three rows of muskets fired in turns were very terrifying. The scene was like a giant beating a baby on one side. The Song troops on the opposite side fell in rows, and the scene soon became chaotic. Yong
It was impossible to avoid chaos. The firearms of the Western Lie Army were beyond their understanding. Even the thick infantry armor could not stop them. The most elite row of soldiers fell down like being cut wheat. The other soldiers were still Do you have the courage to fight?
After seeing his most proud infantry soldiers being slaughtered, Li Kangqian knew that this battle was impossible to fight. Even Tian Shizhen next to him had a look of fear, fearing that he would be injured by the whizzing bullets. They were all hiding behind the soldiers and shivering. They no longer had the magnanimity they had just to guide the country. They were more like a plague chicken...
"Let Ye Hou pass! This battle is impossible to fight at all. The main point of the writing is that after a slight confrontation, Ye Hou left quickly without mentioning a word about firearms!"
Tian Shizhen was shocked: "How can we let him leave? At least there should be a bloody battle, and the power of firearms cannot be ignored!"
Li Kangqian sneered and said: "A bloody battle? Are you willing to die? How can we fight again with such morale? Even if I am a soldier outside the tent under the command of soldiers and horses, they will not listen to me! That is not fighting but committing suicide. As for firearms, you You can mention it if you like, but don't involve a certain family, don't forget who is manipulating the gunpowder of our Song Dynasty to get benefits from it!"
Tian Shizhen trembled violently, and then said: "I know, I know, General Li is righteous! Let's withdraw our troops now and let Ye Hou pass!"
Li Kangqian nodded slightly, but his disdain for Tian Shizhen in his heart reached its peak. This kind of person is worthy of being a civil official, so he should be allowed to fight in front of the military formation! Yong
