Chapter 1319 Death Conversation

There are deer antlers in front of the chariot formation, which Zhong'e learned from the Song army's many years of experience in fighting cavalry on foot.

There are many ways to use foot against horse. As for the blocking facilities placed in front of the formation, the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" records many types such as wooden crosses, sand bars, horse blocking, and deer antlers.

For long-range shooting, crossbows are used. Crossbows include horse huang, Ketou, shovel head, Shenjin, Shenji and other configurations with various strengths and ranges.

After the cavalry army was trapped in a defensive position, the crossbowmen abandoned their crossbows and, together with the infantry troops, under the cover of side cards, used javelins, modaos, daggers, heli sticks, hooks and sickles to kill and injure them.

In addition, there are many different methods such as ambushes, head ropes, trip ropes, horse traps, kicking circles, mace boards, etc.

But the cavalry and archery army are not fools. It is very simple to deal with these weird patterns. Just surround one part without attacking, creating a situation that must be rescued. Then use the speed advantage of the cavalry to ambush and eliminate the advancing reinforcements, and finally let the besieged troops

Short of water, food, and arrows, they then used light cavalry to circle around the defenders, causing the defenders to lose their formation until the formation was thin. They also used heavy cavalry to crash into the formation, causing the defenders to lose morale and collapse. Finally, they used their speed advantage to chase down the defeated army and expand the results of the battle.

With this method of warfare, in the field battles of the Cold Weapon Age, the infantry had almost no chance of victory.

Su You came and activated the golden finger of thermal weapons for the Chinese clan. The range and power of the golden finger were enough to offset the speed and suddenness advantages of the cavalry.

At the same time, he also attached great importance to the development of cavalry, but he did not seem to attach great importance to the personal prowess of the cavalry. He only required that the troops be able to have a speed close to that of the enemy. He believed that as long as this was achieved and combined with firearms, the Song Dynasty would have won a sure victory.

Already.

Zhong'e's admiration for the Duke can be said to be overwhelming, but he really couldn't accept this one thing.

It took him a full ten years to defeat his inner demons, harmonize his state of mind, and become a fearless commander.

Now Duke Fu, your dog, came to me in a sly manner and told me that personal bravery and special qualities are not important?!

Looking at the Xia people who were being cut down like straw by the ballistic missiles in front of the formation, a terrible thought arose in Zhong'e's heart. The Xia people's bravery in front of the huge weapons gap, in addition to expanding their own results, seemed... really

The...isn't that important?

The Chinese army's crane-shin crossbow began to fire, and its power within a hundred steps was not weaker than the divine machine gun.

The Fulu artillery also began to roar. In order to match the rhythm of the divine machine guns and crane-shank crossbows, it used huge explosions to forcibly block the torrent of Xia cavalry into several pieces.

The new type of antlers was developed by Shen Kuo and manufactured by Sitong. The antlers themselves have no ability to resist the cavalry. They only serve as pillars.

The vicious thing is the barbed wire between the antlers.

Despite the intensive attack, the Xia cavalry inevitably gathered in front of the barbed wire fence.

The general cannon in the box workshop began to roar, clearing the field of fire for the crossbow troops who fired wildly.

The iron sand and nails wrapped with huge kinetic energy were pushed out by black gunpowder in the shape of a fan. This first-generation product, which had long been eliminated by the Song Army, was once called a mother-and-son gun by Su You. With the flexible use of Zhong'e,

It actually exerted more powerful power than the thunder cannon.

After all, heavy firepower such as thunder cannons have a huge problem-the range is too long.

It is a magical weapon used to siege cities and forts, and attack military camp formations. However, when used to destroy approaching enemies, the clearing effect is far less efficient than the ductile iron gun.

With each launch, the iron sand would clear a bloody path for the Xia people outside the barbed wire fence thirty steps in front of the vehicle array.

Desperate Xia people chopped with knives and axes in front of the barbed wire, hoping to open a passage. Many brave elderly Xia people did not hesitate to block the Song army's crossbow arrows with their bodies, and hung their bodies on the barbed wire to become the victims of their comrades.

ladder.

Countless Xia people abandoned their horses, stepped on the corpses of their own men and horses, crossed the barbed wire fence, and rushed towards the car array.

However, what awaited them were crane-shanked crossbows, double-jawed muskets, and countless hand-thrown thunderbolts.

The snow in front of the position was blown into steam by the air flow brought by the muzzle of the gun. Thick fog and snowflakes blocked the sight of the Song army soldiers, and they could only hear the explosions and screams in front.

Occasionally, broken limbs and some weapon parts were thrown out by the explosion of the ambushes shells, and crackled on the wall of the van.

The bravery and brutality that the Xia people were once proud of now seem so futile and fragile.

Guo Erdan, who was promoted to the rank of personal soldier, was in charge of the flag of the Chinese Army. He turned to look at the commander with a firm look, and was surprised to find that some of the snowflakes falling on the commander's fur collar were actually pink.

It was the rain of blood from the men and horses in front, which was carried into the air by the artillery fire and re-condensed.

Zhong E raised his right hand, signaling the gun to stop firing.

Finally, some stumbling figures emerged from the fog, howling and crying, with blood all over their bodies, and desperately threw themselves at the complete vehicle formation of the Song Army.

Within thirty steps, countless crossbow arrows flew out, shooting down the wave of Xia people closest to the military formation to the ground.

The fog quickly turned into snow again, and the field of vision became clear again. The huge arc of the Yanyue Formation was almost filled with the corpses of Xia soldiers and horses.

Xia's army finally collapsed, including Liang Yongneng's military law team.

The army surrounded Liang Yongneng and retreated blindly towards Lingzhou.

Zhong E waved the red military flag, and four groups of light cavalry, Yao Xiong, Guo Cheng, Tong Guan, and Sun Neng, began to pursue.

The Chinese army's formation was opened, and the sergeants came out and just cleared a passage in front of the formation, when Liu Changzuo's sharp heavy cavalry ran out.

Guo Erdan held the commander's flag, and the carriage started to move forward after the heavy rider.

There were still many Xia soldiers alive along the way, but they had lost all their sense in this hellish day of suffering. The infantry of the old army following the chariot found that there were still struggling Xia soldiers, so they went up and killed them with a single blow.

life.

An old Xia man with a crossbow bolt stuck in his abdomen and one of his legs blown off to an unknown location half stood up and waved half of his sword wildly in his hand: "Kill me! Come and kill me!"

I don't know if it was because of his age, but when the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, they intentionally or unintentionally let him go.

"Kill me! Song dogs! Don't you dare to do it?" The old man struggled and shouted, and finally lost his strength and lay down in a pool of blood.

"...Government of fields will not destroy crops, and there will be no theft among people...As time goes by, war will disappear...Long-lasting happiness..."

The singing finally ended, just like life on the snow. The old man was still looking at the leaden sky, and the sight inside gradually became dark and cold.

The last thing he saw was the vultures that began to gather and circle above the battlefield even though the heavy snow could not block their keen sense of smell.

…

The heavy snow covered the bodies of dead men and horses all the way. By the time Zhongji's army arrived at Kujing Village in Weijingdang, the war was already over.

The Xia people's retreat was actually just a panic instinct. From the moment they retreated, they were destined to be unable to escape the Song army's killing spree.

In the middle, Liang Yongneng organized several counterattacks, but they were easily defeated by Liu Changzuo's heavy cavalry and the long-range fire of the new army, and then fled again. Leopard and Tiger Wing light cavalry continued to kill, entangle, and besiege, waiting for the heavy cavalry to come up and collide again.

Liang Yongneng can indeed be called the top general in the old military era. Under such circumstances, he was able to keep the army alive, and his personal charm and military talents were impeccable.

But he was defeated after all. When he retreated to Kujing Village, Liang Yongneng finally issued an order. Everyone had spent three days in Song Dynasty, and they had tried their best. He didn't want to escape anymore. The whole army was free to break out. How far they could get out was considered

How many.

That night, all the troops were dispersed, and only the three thousand followers who were die-hard followers were still guarding around their commander.

In the early morning, Cao Nan, who had the highest rank in the former army, launched a general attack on Liang Yongneng after clearing out the Xia troops who tried to escape overnight, and then quickly ended the battle.

Cao Nan came over to greet Zhong'e as he got out of the car: "Liang Yongneng is dying, but he wants to see the commander-in-chief."

Zhong E nodded: "I also want to see him."

On a haystack in a dilapidated courtyard in Kujing Village, Liang Yongneng sat in a stable with his back against the withered grass. The white horse beside him seemed to know that his master was in trouble, and kept nuzzling his master with his muzzle, as if to encourage him.

He stood up and got back on his back.

Zhong E happened to see this scene when he came in, and couldn't help but said softly: "What a good horse."

Liang Yongneng's face, which was still burning with high fever, looked very rosy. Zhong E knew that it was just a flashback before his death, and solemnly bowed and saluted: "Zhong E can win without force, and I will take care of all the mistakes."

Liang Yongneng shook his head: "Otherwise, you are actually better than me, and I am convinced that you lost."

Zhong E couldn't help but be a little surprised.
