Staring at the three thousand heavily armored cavalry of the Sui army entering the Tang army formation, Li Jing slowly narrowed his eyes, and the water beads hanging on his eyelashes were connected, making his eyes a little blurred.
But Li Jing did not wipe away the water droplets, but his thoughts flew south. Can he carry the power of this battle and go south and enter Jingxiang?
He knew that the Tang army had not many people in Jingxiang, and was basically similar to him. He probably was temporarily transferred from Bashu, which was an opportunity.
Li Jing was very conceited at heart, but he admired Yang Yuanqing in this battle of the Central Plains.
The strategic deployment of the entire battle was planned by Yang Yuanqing. He was like a master of chess who made up his mind and then acted. He thought about the overall situation and walked step by step, using a clear plan to gradually force the Tang army into a desperate situation.
In particular, he took advantage of the conflict between Dou Jiande and Song Jingang and cleverly used counter-interference strategies to provoke the war between Dou and Song, relieved the worries of Hebei and caused the Qin Qiong army to join the Central Plains Battle, so that the Sui army's troops exceeded the Tang army, laying the final victory.
In this battle between the two fronts, Yang Yuanqing formulated a strategy of attacking and defending the west, fighting on the east and confronting the west, concentrating the elite troops on the east, while the western front was a slightly weaker troops.
It is precisely this strategic arrangement that made the 40,000 elite soldiers led by Li Jing all followed Yang Yuanqing for many years, had rich combat experience, and were the elites of the entire Sui army.
In the battle against Dou Jiande in the spring, they also participated in the battle. It was they who rushed into Dou Jiande's army camp from the flanks and defeated Dou Jiande's army in one fell swoop.
Compared with Yang Yuanqing's grand strategic layout, Li Jing is more skilled in tactical deployment. Although they have defeated the Tang army twice, he still does not look down on the Tang army.
The Tang army was also well-equipped, perhaps their combat experience was slightly inferior, and they were only stronger than Liu Wuzhou's army, which was still far from the Sui army.
But they were well trained. The lineup was neat, which gave them superior combat capabilities in formation, so Li Jing used heavy armored cavalry to disrupt the Tang army formation.
Li Jing watched the impact of the heavy armored cavalry. When the heavy armored cavalry smashed the chariot to pieces, he immediately called out, "Cabinets are ready!"
The battle flag was waving, and 20,000 cavalry lifted their spears, with uniform movements, showing their superb military qualities.
"Route to shock!"
The 20,000 cavalry were divided into one hundred rows. Each row was 200 people, with a spacing of one meter and a neat line, as if it had been carefully measured. In addition to the spear, each of them was equipped with five short spears. Each short spear was heavy.
About seven kilograms, made with fine iron, throw it far with arm strength, and pierce the enemy from twenty steps away.
This is another weapon used by the Sui army to kill enemies at a distance when they were unable to use bows and arrows in the rain.
The cavalry began to launch, holding spears in both hands. The war horses galloped, and the shouts of killing were shocking. The sharp spear tips in their hands shone red light under the rising glow.
This cavalry that was responsible for the mission of attacking the central army was the most elite army of the Sui army. It was the Fengzhou army at the earliest, and it had many years of fighting against the Turks. It had rich combat experience.
They are equipped with excellent riding bows, and their effective range is a hundred steps away. The only disadvantage is that they cannot be used in the rain. In order to make up for this weakness, each Sui army is equipped with five short spears made of fine steel, suitable for short-distance projection
, followed by knives, spears and shields, fully equipped.
Three thousand heavily armored cavalry entered the Tang army formation, rushed around the Tang army camp, constantly tearing the Tang army's defensive formation, killing the Tang army's corpses everywhere and wailing all over the ground.
Although Li Xiaogong was fighting with the Sui army for the first time and the first time he fought with the heavy armored cavalry, his rich combat experience allowed him to see the advantages and weaknesses of the heavy armored cavalry at a glance, and also saw Li Jing's combat attempts.
Heavy armored cavalry are mainly used to attack the wings and resist bows and arrows, but today there are no bows and arrows, which prevents them from playing their greatest advantage. However, their weakness is that they cannot last long. They cannot repeatedly attack in the army, and they must be rushing directly across the enemy's formation.
.
Obviously, this heavy armored cavalry was just a bait to attract the attention of the Tang army. The real threat was the cavalry behind.
The two or two thousand cavalry behind were already coming like storms. Li Xiaogong's face changed a little. He could still maintain a neat line while running fast, and even the Guanlong cavalry of the Tang army was not there.
Obviously, they are very skilled in their overall cooperation. From this point of view, this is an unprecedented enemy.
Secondly, they did not use bows and arrows, but each person had multiple short spears, and there was another spear in addition to the short spear. From this, it can be inferred that the short spear is their throwing weapon. Although the range of the short spear is not as good as that of the crossbow arrow, it can be
Close throwing, amazing lethality.
Moreover, their horses are very strong, tall and strong, which is even more powerful than the Qinghai horses in Helong. This is a pick from the Turkic horses, which is obviously faster than the Helong horses of the Tang army.
From this elite cavalry, Li Xiaogong suddenly realized Yang Yuanqing's strategy. From the beginning, Yang Yuanqing focused his strategic focus on the Eastern Front, and leading his own army on the Western Front was just a cover.
This is like using Tian Ji to race horses, dismounting the horses, and using his most elite army to fight against the weaker Xiangyang Tang army to ensure absolute victory.
However, he himself led the weak army to make a bluff on the Western Front, using the Qin King's mentality to preserve his strength and confront him without fighting.
At this time, Li Xiaogong felt a pain when he was played with by the other party, but he didn't have time to experience this humiliation of being played with.
He must find the opponent's weakness and concentrate his strength to attack, otherwise he will not last for an hour in this battle.
Li Xiaogong could not see the weakness of the Sui army's cavalry, but he thought of the advantages of the Tang army. He shouted loudly: "Restore formation!"
The Tang army flag was waving, the war drums rumbled, and they began to quickly adjust the formation. This was the biggest advantage of the Tang army. They were well-trained, and they quickly assembled and restored the formation that was chasing by heavy armored cavalry.
This formation is not a special structure, but the soldiers must find generals, the generals must find soldiers, the lieutenant must command the brigade commander, and the brigade commander must lead the team to ensure the integrity of the military combat system.
At this time, the Tang army no longer cared about the threat of heavy armored cavalry and turned its entire attention to the Sui cavalry that was about to be killed.
The Tang army's 15,000 Guanlong cavalry also slowly advanced forward, holding a spear in one hand and a huge shield in the other hand, controlling the war horses with both legs, maintaining a tight formation. The two armies are getting closer and closer, and the neighing and shouting are intertwined.
In a whole, the drums rumbled, inspiring the morale of their respective soldiers.
Two hundred steps...one hundred steps...one hundred steps...one hundred steps, the Sui army had already rushed into the range of the Tang army's crossbow arrows.
But in the dense rain and fog, the Tang army did not shoot with crossbows. At Li Xiaogong's order, the Tang army raised its spear and prepared to welcome the first wave of the Sui army's attack.
Li Jing was not in a hurry to order spear thrown. He stared at the Tang army's shield with sharp eyes, as if he had seen through these shields. These shields could not resist the Sui army's steel spear.
After fifty steps, Li Jing still did not give an order. Many Sui generals were in cold sweat. This was something they had never encountered in many years of combat. The attacking party actually launched a long-range projection with a short spear. This was Li Jing's tactical invention.
At this time, the Sui army suddenly accelerated, and the Tang cavalry quickly retreated, and the distance between the Tang army's troops began to widen. This was also Li Xiaogong's cleverness. He pulled the distance apart at the last moment, so that the killing area of the Sui army's short spear would be
It's small.
The war horses galloped. The Sui cavalry shouted and rushed towards the Tang army. Thirty steps, Li Jing pointed his sword and shouted: "Capture!"
The drum sounded like thunder, and several rows of Sui cavalry in front of them suddenly projected out. Thousands of short spears projected out thousands of parabolas, and the short spears roared towards the Tang cavalry group like heavy rain.
Although Lee Hyo-gong had already thought of the power of the short spear, the final result still made him close his eyes in pain.
The powerful steel spears intertwined into a dense rain, flying in the air, with a terrifying momentum, pierced the shield of the Tang cavalry, shot through the armor, and penetrated the body. The war horses pounced on the ground and fell down. The cavalry screamed and fell from the horse.
In an instant, nearly 400 people were shot over.
The fierce puncture caused a slump to the morale of the Tang army, and then thousands of short spears were projected out and densely penetrated into the Tang army's cavalry.
With just two short rounds of short spear projections, the Tang army lost nearly 800 people. After the two rounds of short spear projections, the ferocious Sui cavalry instantly rushed into the Tang army formation, which was already in chaos.
The Sui army obviously did not intend to fight together with the Tang army. They used a team of hundreds of people to fight flexibly, trying to disrupt the Tang army's formation with the power of the short spear.
Sometimes they cooperated with each other, dissolved into one, and sometimes they dispersed, fighting each other. Although it seemed scattered, it seemed as if a rope was pulling them together. This rope was the command flag of the Sui army, and the flags were constantly changing into various types.
The combination commands the rhythm of the Sui army's offensive.
The Tang army's excellent training made their formation constantly dispersed by the Sui army, and continued to gather, and tenaciously resisted the Sui army's attack.
The Sui army's flexible combat methods and dense and consistent spear rain first killed the enemy in large quantities, and then collapsed and killed. This is obviously a tactic designed for the combat methods of large groups.
In weakly trained group armies such as Liu Wuzhou or Dou Jiande, the flexible combat of the Sui army was very sharp and could achieve extremely effective results.
However, the Tang army, which had strict defense and well-trained training, was able to withstand the combat method of the Sui army. Their respective advantages were fully reflected in this cavalry war.
At this time, the five thousand cavalrymen of Qin Qiong on the right wing and the ten thousand spear soldiers of Luo Shixin on the left wing also covered up, and they also attacked the two wings of the Tang army.
Two armies fought fiercely in the vast rain and fog, and the muddy ground and countless pools made the battle particularly exhausted.
At this moment, the Tang army's 50,000 troops were all pressed, and the Sui army still had 20,000 people waiting for orders.
Although the Sui army did not push the entire line, the Tang army's defeat was gradually emerging. The first problem was that the Tang army's 10,000 swords and shield army was against the 5,000 cavalry led by Qin Qiong.
The disadvantages of the troops and the flexible small-scale multi-point attack of the Sui army made the Tang army's team mess up, and they gradually became as small-scale combat as the Sui army. They were truly in their own formations, without unified command, and without mutual control.
Cooperation, it seemed messy, and the Tang sabers and shields were obviously at a disadvantage.
At this time, Li Jing saw that the time had come, he immediately ordered: "Shoot the rocket!"
A rocket rose into the air and dragged long black smoke through the air. Three thousand heavy armored cavalry of Sui army suddenly broke out from the black pine forest behind the Tang army. They were lined up in an orderly manner, forming a complete square formation, and war horses
The murderous aura swept over the left wing's ten thousand swords and shields swept behind.
With the emergence of the Sui army, the most sharp new force, the Sui army attacked forward and backward, the Tang sabre and shield soldiers finally could not support them, their morale collapsed, and they began to retreat.
The most important battle between the three armies is to coordinate. One leg must not be cut off. As long as one of the important troops is defeated, this kind of defeat is like the most ferocious virus, which instantly spreads to the entire army.
With the Tang army's left-wing sword and shield army defeated first, Li Xiaogong's army was immediately defeated in full swing, and the final of this Central Plains war finally came.
