Zhong Shidao, Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi, Liu Yanqing, Wu Jie, Wu Lin and other generals of the Western Army gathered together and climbed up to the watchtower one after another to observe the entire battlefield.

"Dadao Guan Sheng... is quite a character."

"Let’s talk about it. It’s true that his serial armor horse is a good thing."

"Humph, I don’t believe that our Western Army can’t train well. After this battle, when we return to the northwest, we will also train our armored horses."

"The Western Army's approach to the Xia people was to advance in tandem with infantry, cavalry, and bows, and to build a stronghold to protect them. The imperial court would not allow us to tie up the limited cavalry in one place for use. The damage would be too great, and the Xia people would counterattack. It's a waste of time, the price is too high"

"You bastard, our soldiers shed their blood, and in the end it was his damn Beijing Imperial Guards who got the fame and fortune from these losers?"

The important generals of the Western Army all showed dissatisfaction.

The main force in this battle must still be them. The ones currently covering the chain armored horses are also the Western Army's infantry and cavalry. Without a large number of elite infantry and cavalry to cover them, with a small number of What can a chain horse do?

But outsiders don't know. When talking about the war afterwards, they will only say that the fine cavalry of the Western Army cannot defeat the Liangshan cavalry, and they have to have a chance to win by Dadaoguan Sheng with a chain horse.

Thinking of this, the generals of the Western Army naturally It’s so frustrating. 02

This is hard work, making wedding clothes for others!

"It doesn't matter." The gap in Zhong Shidao's face deepened, and he said slowly:"The matter has not yet come to an end. It should be our contribution. Others cannot take it away. It is not ours. There is no point in rushing."

"Xianggong is saying, will Liangshan recover from this situation?"

Wu Jie is much younger, and he is not afraid of saying the wrong thing. He raised his fists and said:"It's just that in this situation, with infantry and cavalry, military strongholds, archers, crossbowmen, and chain armored horses, I can't think of a way to break the situation. Come."

This kind of battle in which infantry and cavalry coordinate to compete for advantageous points on the battlefield and suppress the enemy's cavalry range of activities is not considered a high-intensity battle.

Otherwise, the two sides would keep adding fuel to the fire and it would directly become a battle.

Yesterday, after a day of fighting, the two sides combined to win. Ten thousand cavalrymen, only one to two hundred casualties. Most of the time, both sides were running back and forth on the vast battlefield of dozens of miles, harassing, suppressing the opponent's movement space, involving the opponent's cavalry, preventing them from penetrating too far from the two wings, and at the same time attacking Some important points, such as high-lying slopes, several villages at the core of the battlefield, as well as the crossings of several small rivers, or high places on river embankments, if these places are regarded as ordinary places, but if they are In the battle and fierce collision of hundreds of thousands of troops, a few small nodes are likely to change the direction of the entire battle!

Especially on the two wings and behind, the enemy cavalry must not be allowed to penetrate deep and penetrate, as the impact will be too great.

During the Song Army's several Northern Expeditions, the cavalry at that time fought head-on, and the heavy infantry was no match for the Liao soldiers and horses.

After all, the essence of the Five Dynasties can be found in the early Song Dynasty.

Regardless of the martial arts of the soldiers, the battle formations, the generals' general skills and battlefield experience, they were all at a high level. It was a peak period.

However, the Liao State also used the advantage of cavalry to the extreme on the North China Plain, cutting off the Song army from the entire rear. Even communication between various ministries was difficult. Logistics, food routes, and news were all difficult. The connection was smooth, Song Taizong was only missing for half a day, and the general of the Forbidden Army was already considering proposing a new master.

At that time, the Song army was not informed, they were fighting each other, and the degree of psychological suppression can be seen from these details.

In addition to the combined power of man and horse during an attack, the biggest advantage of cavalry against infantry is mobility. The beggar- like Song army, with one man and one horse, was unable to maneuver over long distances, and the advantages of cavalry could not be brought into play at all.

Khitan, The Jurchens are all qualified to carry out long-distance maneuvers that exceed thousands of miles for several days.

Even if there is still a gap with Mongolia's long-range of thousands of miles, it is still quite easy to beat the Song army, which is mainly infantry.

This is also the biggest shortcoming of infantry against cavalry.

Play. Everyone who has played the game knows that the enemies appearing on the opposite side are not scary, but the risks hidden in the darkness of the game map are more scary.

The side with strong cavalry is constantly opening maps, while the side with weak cavalry is facing the fog of war. It will get bigger and thicker.

People in the dark will become less courageous.

Kaitu Dog can operate calmly and take advantage of it.

So Chai Rong is the last one who can defeat Khitan and regain Youyun The heroes of the Five Dynasties, Zhao Da and Zhao Er, are not good at leading troops, understanding of war, the art of command, the ability to march and form formations, and the ability to judge the enemy's situation on the battlefield. Although they cannot draw maps, they have and A picture-like sense of the overall situation and a view of the overall situation... This kind of thing is talent and cannot be learned!

Chai Rong has the top talent of a military strategist. Looking at the few years he has been in power, several wars have been like a stroke of genius. Unbelievable.

Unlike Zhao Da, he fought with the wind and picked peaches when the melons were ripe.

Zhao Da did not win a real tough battle. Zhao Er later relied on his national strength to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, but the two campaigns against the Khitan also used the cavalry His shortcomings were fully exploited and he was played like a monkey. If it were Chai Rong, it would not be like this. As for

Zhong Shidao and others in front of him, even if they are not top-notch in terms of generals, they are definitely better than Zhao Er. The knife is much stronger.

The cavalry has a decisive influence on the overall shape of the battlefield, and even on the morale, mobilization, and deployment of both sides before the battle.

Unless one party's cavalry battle is not going well, the battle will not be fought.

But then we are faced with more than ten miles apart, and have to complete the evacuation, turning around, retreat, baggage, supplies and more troubles. It is a certainty that the retreat will turn into a rout. Evacuation in front of the formation is difficult even for the elites who have fought a hundred battles, let alone They evacuated under unfavorable circumstances.

It would be better to lose in a fight.

"In the current situation, Liangshan would rather fight in advance than be suppressed by 977 like this." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Fight in advance. If our army cooperates with infantry and cavalry, and our troops and horses exceed the remaining 10,000, can they win?"

"Wang Lun is a ruthless thief, but he is still insane this time. He must either endure it for a few more years and wait for the Western Army to send troops out of Hebei, Huaidong, and Huaixi, and expand the army by hundreds of thousands, so that he can have the capital to compete for the world! This thief had a bad reputation before and was good at being patient. I don’t know why he couldn’t bear it this time."

The generals of the Western Army are all smiling.

In any case, there is a chance of victory in this battle. If you win this battle, you will be promoted to a higher rank, and the rewards will be relatively generous. After all, Liangshan has reached this point.

, can already shake up the country, and is not comparable to the frontier rebels like Fang La.

Yes, although the southeast of Hangzhou became rich at this time, compared with the Central Plains, it was still a frontier place

"The thieves have sent out troops!"

"Also a heavy armored cavalry!"

"The majestic formation is as good as the chain horse!"

"The number of people is less than three thousand?"

"The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and the light is dazzling!"

All the generals of the Western Army, including the veteran Zhong Shidao, opened their eyes wide and were shocked!

More than 3,000 Liangshan heavy cavalry were dispatched. Their men and horses were all in silver armor, and they had berylliums as long as seven in their hands. Rice is also shining with silver light.

Coupled with the thick armor, more than 3,000 riders are dispatched, giving people the feeling of water, like the reflection of silver mirror, like the refraction of lake, like the dazzling sun, like the majestic mountains!.
