Chapter 736

Seeing that after a whole day of harassment, Xiao Heda had already entered a state of impatient fatigue. The Xixia Army, which had superior forces, was already very impatient. The heavy armored cavalry that attacked this time really felt a little assault.

So Gao Fangping raised the emperor's sword and said, "The order changed the tactics. My wings did not shrink, but spread instead. They accompanied Xixia to carry out the two wings movements, maintain a safe distance, and always be unencircled."

"Shi Wengong." Gao Fangping said again, "This time you need your troops to attack, but it is not a real hard fight. Touch the most suitable distance and maneuver the Western Xia heavy armored cavalry. If they don't want to fight and retreat in a roundabout way, your troops don't have to force them, quickly draw circles and cooperate with most of our light cavalry to retreat. If the Western Xia heavy cavalry troops do not retreat, they will use the horse speed of both sides to officially launch the first wave of divine arm crossbow snipers against the Western Xia cavalry at a distance of 200 steps. After the sniping, no matter the result of the battle, they will quickly draw circles and maneuver out of the battlefield. And the tactics of our large troops will be determined based on the combat effectiveness of your troops!"

Shi Wengong took the reins of the horse and took the heavy cavalry of the Yongle army to head towards the cold-forged cavalry of the Western Xia.

Perhaps Xiao Heda will suffer a loss on the first day of the competition. I believe his thinking has been semi-consolidated. He always thought that the Song army's divine arm crossbow was not as good as the Xixia, but was a mass-produced copy. In fact, the Yongle Army, who was the first to follow Gao Fangping, was the highest blood army of the Dianqiansi, just as the Shi Wengong army equipped the artwork of the Song Dynasty's Ministry of War, which was the highest level of the era, the Great Song Dynasty's War.

The power-cut version of the Divine Arm Crossbow is indeed only a pitiful distance of about a hundred steps to the Western Xia cold-forged cavalry. The distance is almost face-to-face. It is difficult for the fast cavalry to draw a circle and detour. In other words, any troops that go out to block the Western Xia heavy cavalry with the Divine Arm Crossbow will face the impact of the opponent's heavy cavalry after shooting.

However, the ace divine arm crossbow of the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty had a distance of 130 steps to break the armor against the cold forged armor. At the same time, it was necessary to calculate the "two-level speed halo" that the horses on both sides faced the rushing. In this way, the armor-breaking distance between the cold forged armor cavalry will be increased to nearly 200 steps in terms of technical aspects.

Then, as the Yongle Army, which had the strongest horse-controlling skills in the Song army, caused the Western Xia heavy cavalry to panic, there was enough chance to stagger the Western Xia heavy cavalry. Moreover, Shi Wengong's army was also a heavy cavalry. As long as it did not collide with the plate-armored cavalry, Shi Wengong's army had a strong ability to fight damage. As long as it did not lose its maneuver, it would not die for the time being.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

Xiao Heda didn't even have time to make a faster order response. Unexpectedly, Gao Fangping really made the Yongle army attack head-on this time.

Based on Xiao Heda's skills against the horse army, it was obvious that Shi Wengong's troops did attack, but it was not a form of hard fighting. So he suspected that there was something strange, so Xiao Heda hurriedly waved the order flag and tried to retract the tactics of the cold-forged cavalry.

But it's a little late.

At two hundred steps away,

Shi Wengong was running, and the powerful divine arm crossbow was released in an instant. Without waiting for the screams of the "tanks", the Yongle army divided into two strands as if cheating, and quickly separated from the two wings and tried its best to start leaving the battlefield.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Faced with a wave of divine arm crossbow snipers, the damage to the Western Xia cold-forged cavalry is effectively expanding.

The heavy cavalry forward of Xixia this time was shot directly by arrow rain, and took away a hundred people in one wave. Whether it was horses or riders, the cold forged armor was shot into a hedgehog, which was a full penetrating damage.

However, the biggest damage comes from the head of the sharp knife formation that many heavy riders fell to the ground, forming a "horse-refusing formation" behind them.

As a result, another piece of it fell down in a panic.

The disadvantage of the cavalry of the sharp knife formation is that they are afraid of direct shooting of the divine arm crossbow. In order to reduce the area of ​​killing before the formal battle, they can only use the sharp knife formation to assault, but this formation is easy to lead the surface with points and kill the maneuvers of a whole team of heavy cavalry.

If it were an ordinary cavalry and lack of skills in controlling horses, such technical mistakes would likely cause more serious joint damage.

Fortunately, Xiao Heda also took back the order in time. Then the White Horse Army Command was worthy of being the White Horse Army Command. He could become the cold-forged cavalry of their highest bloodline. Of course, he was the best Western Xia rider. Although there were some troubles on his head and caused significant damage, the main force was not really damaged, and the people behind him controlled it in time, and there was no real chaos.

On the entire battlefield that lasted for several miles, the main forces of the Song army and the Xixia army were pulling out horsepower to spread maneuvers. No one wanted to be surrounded by anyone, and everyone was tentatively maintaining a safe distance. Gao Fangping was a weak force and did not dare to fight at will, but as long as Gao Fangping's troops' divine arm crossbow cluster was not released in the first wave, it was what Cha Ge called "arrows on the strings are deterrent", so Xiao Heda dared not really take the risk of attacking on the first day. After all, the lesson of the Shilong Guanxi Shining United was too profound, and the 30,000-compliant divine arm crossbow cluster was too terrifying. If he was really concentrated by Gao Fangping, it would be a critical strike and a residual blood!

In the "partial" of the Central Theater Command, only two heavy cavalry were the ones who really fought.

In the end, the Xixia heavy cavalry was defeated but not in chaos, and the main force was still there, and only more than 200 cavalry were lost.

"Don't be stubborn, pass the orders, run away. If you can't fight these rapists, just be a smart beauty and run away."

After Gao Fangping gave the order, Liu Fa and Xu Ning commanded with the flag. The Great Demon King had already escaped on the Zhaoye Yu Lion Horse under the care of Sister Liang.

Zhaoye Yu Lion is really not covered, and its legs are much longer than traditional running. Even if she brings Sister Liang and Gao Fangping, she is definitely the fastest to run. She is very awesome to escape. It is indeed a special horse for the Liao royal family.

Xiao Heda, who was shot by Gao Fangping, sighed and had to copy and paste again and stop chasing. Because, many people from the Xixia army are still hungry now, and the horses don’t have enough time to eat grass…

To the north of Baichi City, the first day of the cavalry tug-of-war between Gao Fangping tribe and the Western Xia Baima Army Division ended like this, with the loss of more than 200 heavy cavalry among the Western Xia aces.

Overall, in the past, there was a silver start for Gao Fangping, but this time it was lucky, which could be considered a gold start.

Gao Fangping and the entire Song army had all relaxed their mentality, and they had confidence. They really seized Xiao Heda's initial cautious mentality. Under Gao Fangping's reputation as the invincible demon king, the Song army won the opportunity to warm up and run-in with the "empty city mentality".

Everyone had some concerns earlier, after all, they had to compete with the Western Xia ace White Horse Army Command, which is known for its cavalry, on this unfamiliar prairie. However, except for the Shi Wengong team, everyone was actually sharpening their guns in the face of battle, and the infantry turned into cavalry not long after, and they were novice in the cavalry rather than old drivers.

Last month, a few people would fall off their horses while running at full speed, not to mention slashing with knives, let alone maintaining balance to shoot the divine arm crossbow with both hands.

However, no one is born with these things. Everything is the same as the early stage of the battle from Beijing 1, and only fight and cherish it...

In this way, Gao Fangping and Xiao Heda teams, with nearly 90,000 cavalry, have been tug-of-war in the 50-mile prairie war zone for six days.

During this period, they were relatively conservative, with almost no large and medium-sized confrontations. However, during the several tug-of-wars of each other every day, the tentative small confrontations have occurred several times, and overall they are both sides winning and losing. In fact, even if Gao Fangping is particularly cautious and vulgar, the Song army still suffers a lot in calculations.

This is inevitable. In terms of cavalry technical skills, the gap is indeed not a small one. This is not to say that it can easily be scattered. If Gao Fangping had not treacherously grasped Xiao Heda's cautious attitude and coupled with the mass-produced version of the Divine Arm Crossbow cluster deterrence, it would have really suffered a devastating loss before the lasting tactics take effect.

But the advantage is that although Xiao Heda's troops have taken a lot of advantages, their morale has been declining sharply. The elite White Horse Army, which is known as the invincible in the world, has always been controlled by Gao Fangping at the strategic level and is tightly pulled in a state of fatigue.

As for the Song army, everyone followed Gao Fangping into the grassland, and since the cavalry attitude was tug-of-war with the Western Xia ace White Horse Army, there was no shortage of morale, and their mentality was quickly relaxing. The cavalry technology that sharpened the guns in the face of battle was adapting to training, narrowing the gap with the Western Xia army infinitely, and their understanding of cavalry was deepening.

This is normal. The rules of the universe determine that it will be difficult for a master to get a hundred feet. Perhaps it takes years of hard work to improve his skills slightly less than a layer. However, there is no "storm" in the early stage of the start of the novice, and his progress will be crazy.

Moreover, the Song army has the strategic weapon of compressing military rations, and providing all-round nutrition is one thing. The more strategic significance is that the Song army can eat simply and have time to rest, so that they can rest and recuperate in the rhythm of "the Xixia army cannot eat well but sleep well."

Gao Fangping was invincible in this kind of rhythm control. He could always line up after the Song army was recuperating properly, causing Xiao Heda's troops to complain to the sky when they couldn't eat well and sleep.

The most helpless thing is that the Song army is also a cavalry. Xiao Heda really cannot get rid of this ghost-like army and thus undergo a systematic renovation. He can only be followed by them day by day, but he cannot fight to the decisive battle and always harassment.

Xiao Heda also discovered his strategic mistakes. In the early days, he was really hurt by Gao Fangping's reputation and his cautiousness. So he did not have the chance to seize the first few times and fought against the Song army, which had weak cavalry skills. Now, with the deepening of the tug-of-war, the cavalry gap between the Western Xia army and the Song army is rapidly shortening, but strangely, the physical strength and endurance of the Song army's war horses is endlessly surpassing the Western Xia army. Xiao Heda can't find the specific reason at all.

Xiao Heda also discovered that the Song army was a group of perverts, and their people ate the same food as the horses. However, now the Western Xia soldiers ate coarse grains. As for the war horses, there was no horse feeding, so they could basically only let the horses eat grass on the spot.

In normal times, letting war horses eat grass, and it is even more beneficial to the long-term lifespan of war horses. However, it is not possible in wartime, and you must participate in feeding horse feed mainly with beans. If you only eat grass, war horses will take too much time to chew grass, and eating a lot of grass that presses the stomach and intestines and inconvenience, it is not convenient to run, but there is still insufficient nutrients.

Then the most fatal problem with eating grass is time and the problem of inconcentration of forage on the grass.

Horses are not cats and dogs, and eating all the grass beside them is definitely not enough. Then they need to move and eat grass from other places. This is certainly not a problem for hundreds of war horses, but it is a fatal problem for more than 50,000 war horses from Xiao Heda's army. This requires the rider to take the horses to disperse to a certain extent and eat grass.

So technically, the Xixia army spent at least five times more than the Song army in the past six days to solve the belly problem. The fatal thing is that even the riders cannot get a rest because they have to wait for the horses to eat. Otherwise, Gao Fangping would harass him in a row, and the riders and the horses were separated and not as good as the horses to move, it would be a dead end.

However, the Song army can use these squeezed time to carry out technical cultivation, which is slowly getting rid of the fatigued state of the Song army.

Yes, the tug-of-war has penetrated into the six days, and Xiao Heda has also noticed these situations, but the reason cannot be found.
