The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Yin Chongke was taken aback, "Why should I study hard?"

Wei Qiansui's face is white as pink, red lips are like fire, and his voice is like a night owl: "You have been in the army for a long time, and you don't hear anything outside the window. We are outdated, we must keep up with the situation.”

Yin Chongke's heart skipped a beat!
Wei Qiansui never talks nonsense, what does he mean by this?Could it be that he didn't show a gesture of getting closer to him, so he was beating himself?But it doesn't look like it?

At this time, Pan Mei pointed to Hezhou City and said, "Chitose, look, we have to prepare to retreat!"

Wei Qiansui's eyes flickered, and he looked at the city gate of Hezhou, only to see that the city gate was opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out!The soldiers are all in armor, holding spears, and the horses are also covered in armor when sitting down, only their eyes are exposed!

The sound of hooves was like thunder, smoke and dust billowed, and the momentum was majestic!

It continued like a long dragon rushing out of the city gate, and it took a long time for the whole team to leave. At a glance, there were about [-] people.After the heavy cavalry rushed out of the city gate, they formed a formation outside the city!

Countless light-armored infantry rushed out of the city like a tide, their spears and armor shining brightly, full of murderous aura!They lined up dozens of phalanxes behind the cavalry, each with about 500 people!The initial strength of the army is estimated to be around [-] to [-].

Then there are some hunched and strange-looking soldiers. They wear light armor, hold all kinds of gleaming white weapons, and cover their faces with black cloth. They don't even show their eyes. I don't know how they see the road? This strange one The number of infantry is about [-].

Then three military vehicles drove out slowly. On the second military vehicle stood a general in golden armor, holding a long sword, and kept roaring. Saw him for the first time!There are a few lightly armored warriors holding long swords in the first and second military stations, and they are his personal guards at a glance!

After the chariots, tens of thousands of infantry poured out like a tide, followed by a ballista phalanx composed of dozens of catapults, and a catapult phalanx composed of five trebuchets. These are heavy offensive weapons that can attack targets from a long distance .Ballistas are designed to restrain infantry, while trebuchets are more destructive to fixed targets such as city gates, city walls, and siege ladders.Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene appeared. Countless formations of fully armed war elephants poured out of the city gate like a torrent!The sense of oppression high up like a mountain makes people feel suffocated!There are two archers on the back of the war elephant, one in front and one behind.There are soldiers holding shields and long knives on the front, back, left, and right sides of the war elephants. They carry bows and arrows behind them. They can not only shoot and kill enemies in the distance, but also fight with enemies close to them!Defend the elephant and kill the enemy at the same time!
Yin Chongke raised his eyebrows and said, "Are they trying to counterattack?" He wasn't worried that it was fake!

It took a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot of soldiers to wipe out most of the skeleton soldiers in Hezhou City.

The opponent's troops suddenly increased greatly, and the soldiers on our side were seriously insufficient. Although the troops from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty came to help one after another, within two days, the far water could not solve the near fire!

Pan Mei's eyes flickered and said: "These troops are only less than one-third of their total strength. If it is an attack, it is better to say that it is death!" It was a stalemate until now. If they left the city to fight recklessly, they should naturally have a chance by mobilizing all their strength.But now there are no more than two reasons for doing so.One is that these soldiers are bait, deliberately lured the Song army to fight, and then the army in the city finally came out to give the Song people a thunderous blow; the second is that they are extremely confident in the war elephant army and the skeleton soldiers pretending to be living people, thinking that these troops are enough to sweep the Song Dynasty. military!

The confrontation between the Song army and the Han army was mainly at the top of the city. The Han army would never dare to leave the city and fight the Song army in the wilderness.So when the Song army was unable to attack for a long time, they had to retreat temporarily. At this time, the skeleton soldiers who had been waiting for a long time in the gate of Hezhou took advantage of the momentum to kill!The two battles in which the Song army lost the most took place under such circumstances.

Later, Pan Mei also summed up the lesson, attacking the city should be attacked, but when retreating, she has a method than before!

He specially asked the soldiers to prepare special ropes, the length of which was moderate, each with five ropes, soaked in ink fountains for one night, and also prepared pine oil, black dog blood, and glutinous rice tips to ward off evil. When retreating, every group of three people, two people cover one person, retreat step by step, for the skeleton soldiers who came to copy their back, first throw ink rope to tie up the legs of the skeleton soldiers rushing forward, and then the skeleton soldiers behind Tripped over by the skeleton soldiers in front and fell down one after another, pine oil, dog blood, glutinous rice, and a kind of flammable black oil all waited on them, and then the rocketmen who had ambushed in advance sent "them" a burst of fire , the skeleton soldiers suddenly fell into a sea of ​​flames. When the black oil burned, some viscous jelly was continuously separated, sticking some skeleton soldiers together. Although the skeleton soldiers could break free after struggling a few times, the battlefield In the moment of life and death, Song Jun seized the opportunity to kill countless skeletons in just a moment!

Because the Song army came and went like the wind, only skeleton soldiers and heavy cavalry could catch up when they retreated. Therefore, the Southern Han Dynasty did not send any Xiexiang to participate in the battle, and the Song army never fought against the war elephants.Although I know that the war elephant is powerful, Pan Mei doesn't know how powerful it is!His information was obtained through spying on the records of the Southern Han battles in the past, and the specific initial situation can only be estimated.According to Pan Mei's estimate, if the Luoyang tiger's combat power is two hundred, the war elephant's combat power should be between five hundred and six!Because from the analysis of actual combat, a war elephant is equipped with two archers and four spearmen and archers. On the surface, the Luoyang tiger and the war elephant soldiers are one-on-one, but in fact it is one man against six men plus one elephant!When the Luoyang tiger didn't get into the ten-foot defensive circle of the war elephant, he had to avoid the shooting of the six Han army archers first!If you overcome the difficulties and enter the defensive circle, the four archers around the elephant will instantly become spearmen. Even if you can kill these four spearmen at the same time, you still have to dodge the cold arrows from the elephant's back at any time!
Song Bing is really too difficult!
In the decisive battle with the Zhanxiang Legion, it seems that the Song Army's chances of winning seem to be slim!

But the reason why Pan Mei dared to fight was because he was proficient in the art of war and had a plan in mind!

When it comes time for the two armies to fight to the death, the soldiers are not simply fighting one-on-one!

There is a subtle cooperation between the Luoyang Tigers, there is a cooperation between the Northwest Wolves, there is also a cooperation between the Luoyang Tigers and the Northwest Wolves, and there is also a cooperation between the heavy cavalry and the two major infantry regiments. The pistols, pikemen, and simple swordsmen all cooperate with each other, and they can fully use their respective advantages to fight a perfect blocking battle!
War elephants are most afraid of close combat, so just get rid of the outer protective cover?Although a war elephant is powerful, it moves slowly. Once alone, it will immediately become a moving target and be slaughtered!

To kill the infantry on the periphery of the war elephant and the archers with towers on their backs, Da Song can also use archers, or even flying spears, to kill an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye through long-distance killing!At this point, the Song Army actually had the upper hand, because the Song Army had the siege weapon three-bow bed crossbow and the murderous weapon god arm bow!

As for dealing with the cavalry of the Southern Han Dynasty, it is naturally left to Consort Li's heavy cavalry!Cavalry against cavalry, it depends on whose cavalry has the highest morale and courage!The combat power of the heavy cavalry of the Song Dynasty is second only to the Khitan cavalry, so naturally the cavalry of the Southern Han Dynasty will not be taken seriously!However, in order to reduce her own losses, Pan Mei has considered that she can use ballistas and arrow arrays to harass the opponent on the flanks of the battle formation and consume her troops!

Wei Qiansui said: "Although the war elephant army looks powerful, according to my observation, as long as they can get close to them, three ordinary infantry may be able to kill the war elephant!"

Although the war elephant is fully armored, there are flaws that are exposed after all. As long as three ordinary infantry cooperate, the war elephant can be killed!Even sacrificing three people is worth it!Because the death of the war elephant means that the six Han troops also died at the same time!
The reason why Wei Qiansui mentioned using ordinary infantry to deal with war elephants is because ordinary infantry is the least valuable in his opinion, their combat power is low, and they can't play much role. It doesn't matter if they die more!The second is because the ordinary infantry of the Song Dynasty are arriving from the north in an endless stream at this time, and the ordinary infantry of the Song Army can't be used up!
Pan Mei smiled and said: "I agree with Chitose on the point of dealing with the War Elephant Army! If you want to destroy the War Elephant Army, you must first clear its outer defenses, and then go deep into the hinterland and have a chance to fight hand-to-hand! By the way, Chitose, I analyzed it, if we retreat at this time, we will definitely sell the back of the army to the Han army, and if the Han army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill 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 them, you may be caught in an ambush by the other party! Their army is most likely waiting behind the city gate, waiting for us to take the bait!" There were tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers in the Southern Han Dynasty. Wan Zhanxiang and [-] Rattan Armored Soldiers did not show up, where are they?what are they doingThe answer seems obvious!
"What should I do?"

"Stand by and wait! They have a city to rely on, and we have a hillside to use! We will stop here! The mountain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they attack here, we will occupy a favorable position from a condescending position. They have no chance of winning! "

"Then listen to you, sit back and wait for the rabbit, and wait for work with leisure!"

Two carriages walked unhurriedly on the official road leading to Hezhou, and a bald knight followed unhurriedly.The reason why the speed of the car is neither fast nor slow is to prevent the horse from being exhausted and the speed is not enough.Anyway, it's less than two hundred miles away, and it will be there soon, Feng Jiuxiao is not in a hurry.He didn't dare to be in a hurry, if he walked too fast, the carriage would bump violently, which was not good for Yuan Zishan's internal injuries.It's been nearly five days since we arrived here from Wuxi, and Yuan Zishan has almost recovered from her injuries.In addition to Feng Jiuxiao's frequent input of internal energy, it is also fortunate that the ancient and rare ice crocodile blood has exerted miraculous effects!
The woods on both sides of the road are so large that you can't see the end at a glance.

Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shiwu sat side by side outside the car.They both wanted to enjoy the scenery.

A carrier pigeon suddenly falls.

Pang Shiwu took out the secret letter and glanced at it: "Brother, Wei Qiansui said that the Southern Han side is preparing to attack them with one-third of their troops, and they may be about to fight soon!"

Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said: "One-third of the troops? Isn't that death? If they want to counterattack the Song army, it stands to reason that the whole army must attack 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 One-third of the troops are at risk! There is a problem here!"

Pang Shiwu said: "What's the problem?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I haven't thought of it yet!"

Suddenly there was a beast roar in the woods!
Only the Savage Behemoth Gang can make such an earth-shattering roar!
The roar shook the sky, and countless leaves were shaken off!

Boundless fallen leaves, fluttering down!
