Yin Chongke was startled, "Why should I study hard?"
Wei Qiansui's face was as white as pink, his red lips were as red as fire, and his voice was like a night owl: "You have been in the army for a long time, and you have not heard what is going on outside the window. You do not understand the undercurrents above the temple, nor the turmoil in the rivers and lakes. This is a bit strange.
If you are behind the times, you must keep up with the situation.”
Yin Chongke was stunned!
Wei Qiansui never talks nonsense. What does he mean by this? Could it be that he is beating himself up because he didn't show any signs of moving closer to him? But it doesn't look like it?
Pan Mei pointed at Hezhou City and said, "Chitose, look, we have to be ready to retreat!"
Wei Qiansui's eyes flashed and he looked towards the Hezhou City Wall. He saw the city gate opened and a group of cavalry rushed out! The soldiers were all armored and held spears. The horses were also fully armored when they sat down, with only their eyes exposed!
The sound of hooves is like thunder, the smoke is swirling, and the momentum is majestic!
A long, continuous dragon rushed out of the city gate. It took a long time for the whole team to finish. At a glance, there were probably nearly 20,000 people. After the heavy cavalry rushed out of the city gate, they formed a formation outside the city!
Countless light-armored infantrymen rushed out of the city like a tide, with bright guns and armor, and full of murderous intent! They formed dozens of square formations behind the cavalry, with about 2,500 people in each square formation! The preliminary estimate of the strength was between five and six
Around 10,000.
Then there are some stooped, strange-looking soldiers. They are wearing light armor, holding various white weapons, and their faces are covered with black cloth. They don’t even show their eyes. I don’t know how they can see the road? This one is weird.
The number of infantry is approximately 10,000.
Then three military chariots slowly drove out. On the second chariot stood a general wearing golden armor, holding a long sword, and kept roaring. The whole person had extraordinary momentum. No matter who he was, he would be among the thousands of troops.
The first time I saw him! There were several lightly armored warriors holding long swords in the first and second military vehicles. You could tell at a glance that they were his personal guards!
After the chariots, tens of thousands of infantrymen poured out like a tide, followed by a phalanx of ballistae composed of dozens of ballistae, and a phalanx of trebuchets composed of five trebuchets. These are heavy attack weapons that can attack targets at long distances.
The ballistae was specifically designed to restrain infantry, while the trebuchets were more destructive to fixed targets such as city gates, city walls, and siege ladders. Then a shocking scene appeared. Countless heavily armed war elephant formations emerged from the city gates like
It pours out like a mountain torrent! The high mountain-like oppression makes people feel suffocated! There are two archers on the back of the war elephant, one in front of the other. Behind the war elephant are two soldiers holding shields and long knives.
, they carry bows and arrows on their backs, which can not only shoot enemies far away, but also fight close enemies! Protect the war elephants and kill enemies at the same time!
Yin Chongke raised his eyebrows and said, "Are they trying to counterattack?" He wasn't worried that it was a lie!
It took a lot of effort and effort to eliminate most of the skeleton soldiers in Hezhou City, sacrificing a lot of troops.
The opponent's troops suddenly increased greatly, and our own troops were seriously insufficient. Although the armies of the Song Dynasty rushed to help one after another, within two days, the water from far away could not solve the fire at close range!
Pan Mei's eyes flashed and she said: "These troops are less than one-third of their total strength. If we say it's an attack, it's better to say it's death!" Logically speaking, the Southern Han Dynasty relied on the favorable geographical situation and the magic soldiers of the Demon Sect to hold on.
The stalemate has persisted until now. If they leave the city and fight hard, they should naturally go out in full force to have a chance. But there are only two reasons for doing this now. One is that these soldiers are bait, deliberately luring the Song army into battle, and then the army in the city will finally
They went out to give the people from the Song Dynasty a thunderous blow; secondly, they were extremely confident in the war elephant army and the skeleton soldiers disguised as living people, and believed that these troops were enough to sweep the Song army!
The main battle between the Song Army and the Han Army was at the top of the city. The Han Army would never dare to leave the city head to fight the Song Army in the wilderness. The "Luoyang Tigers" were like crazy tigers, one was worth ten, and fighting them head-on would undoubtedly lead to death. So when
When the Song army could not attack for a long time, they had to retreat temporarily. At this time, the skeleton soldiers who had been waiting inside the Hezhou city gate for a long time took advantage of the situation and rushed out! The two battles with the greatest losses of the Song army took place under such circumstances.
Later, Pan Mei also learned her lesson. When attacking the city, we must attack more, but when we retreat, we have more plans than before!
He specially asked the soldiers to prepare special ropes of moderate length, five for each person, and soaked them in an ink fountain for one night. In addition, he also prepared pine oil, black dog blood, and the tip of glutinous rice to remove evil spirits.
When retreating, every three people were in groups, with two people covering one person, and they retreated in steps. To deal with the skeleton soldiers who came to cut off their retreat, they first threw ink ropes to tie up the legs of the skeleton soldiers in front, and then the skeleton soldiers behind them.
The moment they were tripped by the skeleton soldiers in front and fell one after another, pine oil, dog blood, glutinous rice and a kind of flammable black oil were all waiting to come up, and then the rocketeers who had been ambushed in advance sent "them" a rain of fire.
, the skeleton soldiers suddenly fell into a sea of fire. The black oil continued to separate some sticky gelatin as it burned, sticking some of the skeleton soldiers together. Although the skeleton soldiers were able to break free after struggling a few times, but on the battlefield,
In the blink of an eye, the Song Army seized the opportunity to kill countless skeletons!
Since the Song army came and went like the wind, and only skeleton soldiers and heavy cavalry could catch up when they retreated, the Southern Han Dynasty never sent Dianjie elephants to participate in the battle, and the Song army never fought against war elephants. Although they knew that war elephants were powerful, they
Pan Mei didn't know exactly how powerful it was! His information was also obtained through spies to inquire about past battle records of the Southern Han Dynasty. The specific initial situation could only be estimated. Judging from Pan Mei's estimation, if the Luoyang Tiger's combat power was two
Hundred, the fighting strength of the war elephant should be between five hundred and six! Because from the actual combat analysis, a war elephant is equipped with two archers and four spearmen and archers. The Luoyang tiger and the war elephant soldiers are seemingly a pair
First, it is actually one person against six people plus one elephant! When the Luoyang tiger does not attack the war elephant within the 10-foot defense circle, he must first avoid the shooting of the six Han archers! If he overcomes the difficulties and attacks
In the defensive circle, the four archers outside the war elephant instantly turned into spearmen. Even if they could kill these four spearmen at the same time, they still had to dodge the cold arrows from the back of the war elephant at any time!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Song Bing is so difficult!
In a decisive battle with the War Elephant Corps, it seems that the Song Army has little chance of winning!
But the reason why Pan Mei still dares to fight is because he is proficient in the art of war and is confident!
When it comes to the real life-and-death battle between the two armies, the soldiers are not simply fighting one-on-one!
There is exquisite cooperation between the Luoyang tigers, there is cooperation between the Northwest wolves, there is also cooperation between the Luoyang tigers and the Northwest wolves, there is also cooperation between the heavy cavalry and the two infantry regiments, in addition to the archers, crossbowmen, and trebuchet launchers
The arms, spearmen, and swordsmen all have coordination with each other, and they can fully utilize their respective advantages to create a perfect blocking battle!
War elephants are most afraid of close combat, so don't you just need to take out the outer protective shield? Although war elephants are powerful, they move slowly. Once alone, they will immediately become a moving target for anyone to slaughter!
To kill the infantry on the periphery of the war elephant and the archers on the towers on its back, the Song Dynasty could also use archers or even flying spears to kill them from a long distance. Tooth for tooth, eye for eye! At this point, the Song army actually still had the upper hand.
They had the upper hand because the Song army had the three-bow bed crossbow, a powerful siege weapon, and the divine arm bow, a powerful murder weapon!
As for dealing with the cavalry of the Southern Han Dynasty, it was naturally left to Li Consort's heavy cavalry! Cavalry vs. cavalry, it depends on which cavalry has greater morale and courage! The combat power of the heavy cavalry of the Song Dynasty is second only to the Khitan cavalry
, naturally he would not take the Southern Han cavalry seriously! However, in order to reduce his own losses, Pan Mei has considered using ballistae and arrow arrays on the flanks of the battle formation to harass the opponent and consume his troops!
Wei Qiansui said: "Although this war elephant army looks powerful, according to my observation, as long as they can kill them at close range, three ordinary infantrymen may be able to kill the war elephants!"
Although the war elephant is covered with armor, there are flaws after all. As long as three ordinary infantrymen cooperate, the war elephant can be killed! Even if three people are sacrificed, it is worth it! Because the death of the war elephant means that six Han troops will also die at the same time!
The reason why Wei Qiansui mentioned using ordinary infantry to deal with war elephants was, firstly, because ordinary infantry was the least valuable in his opinion, had low combat power and could not play a big role. It would be okay to die more! Secondly, because of the situation in the Song Dynasty at this time
Ordinary infantry are arriving in an endless stream from the north, and the Song Army's ordinary infantry simply can't be used up!
Pan Mei smiled and said: "Chitose and I agree on this point of dealing with the War Elephant Army! If you want to eliminate the War Elephant Army, you must first clear its outer protection, and then go deep into the hinterland, where you will have a chance to fight hand-to-hand! By the way, Chitose,
I analyzed it and found that if we retreat at this time, we will definitely sell the back of the army to the Han army. If the Han army takes advantage of the situation and attacks us, we will be very passive and may suffer heavy losses."
Wei Qiansui said: "Then what if we kill him?"
Pan Mei said in a deep voice: "If you kill us, you may fall into the opponent's ambush! Their army is most likely waiting behind the city gate, waiting for us to take the bait!" There are tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers in the Southern Han Dynasty, and there are tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers in the Southern Han Dynasty.
Wan Zhanxiang and 20,000 Vine Armor Soldiers did not show up. Where are they? What are they doing? The answer seems obvious!
"What should we do?"
"Sit back and wait! They have a city to rely on, and we have a hillside to use! Let's stop here quietly! The mountain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they attack here, and we occupy a favorable position from high up, they have no chance of winning!
"
"Then I'll listen to you, sit back and wait for the rabbit, and wait for the hard work!"
Two carriages walked leisurely on the official road leading to Hezhou, with a bald knight following behind them. The reason why the carriages were neither fast nor slow was to prevent the horses from being exhausted and hastening the pace.
Da. Anyway, it’s less than two hundred miles away, and we’ll be here soon. Feng Jiuxiao is not in a hurry. He doesn’t dare to be in a hurry. If he walks too fast, the carriage will bump violently, which is not good for Yuan Zishan’s internal injuries. Everyone came here from Wuxi
They have been walking for nearly five days, and Yuan Zishan's injuries have almost recovered. In addition to the frequent input of Feng Jiuxiao's internal energy, she is also thankful that the ancient rare ice crocodile blood has played a miraculous effect!
The woods on both sides of the road are so big that you can't even see the end of them.
Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shishi sat side by side outside the car. They both wanted to enjoy the scenery.
A homing pigeon suddenly fell down.
Pang Shiwu took out the secret letter and took a look at it and said: "Brother, Wei Qiansui said that the Southern Han Dynasty is preparing to attack them with one-third of its troops. They may be about to fight!"
Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said: "One-third of the troops? Isn't that a death penalty? If they want to counterattack the Song army, they must attack with the whole army to have a chance of winning! Do they want to lure the enemy deep? But there is no need to take three to lure the enemy deep.
Risking one-third of your troops! There is a problem here!"
Pang Shiwu asked: "What's the problem?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I haven't thought of it yet!"
Suddenly there was a roar from the woods!
Only the Savage Beast Gang can make such an earth-shattering roar!
The roar was so loud that countless leaves were shaken off!
Boundless fallen leaves are falling down in the breeze!
