Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 123 Yue Family Army Battle Formation

Yu Chixin's army left the sandbar, but did not go directly to Yumen Pass to meet Li Daoyuan.

While sending a message to Li Daoyuan, he wanted to train infantry near the Dashui Gorge in Guazhou, and then sent people to the blacksmith workshop beside the Dashui Gorge, and set up camp directly.

This action made all the players and the natives very confused, wondering why Yu Chixin didn't immediately march to break the siege of Bao Wenshan.

Yu Chixin completely ignored these arguments, and he took Xue Cheng into the small town beside Dashui Gorge.

Now a small town has formed beside the Dashuixia Iron Works.

Blacksmiths from Guazhou, Shazhou, and even several nearby states dragged their families to live in the small town.

The whole town was filled with the sound of tinkling and clanging irons. Relying on the high-quality iron ingots from the Dashuixia Iron Works, this town quickly became the iron-making center of Longyou.

All kinds of farm tools can be bought in this small town. In addition to farm tools, there are all kinds of iron products here.

In addition to local craftsmen, some players who love forging also buy real estate in the town, and they can feel the hot temperature of molten iron as soon as they enter the town.

Amidst the beating sounds one after another in the whole town, Yu Chixin brought Xue Cheng to a large workshop.

Xue Cheng asked suspiciously: "Captain, why are we staying here if we don't support Bao Wenshan to fight back?"

Xue Cheng was a little puzzled, didn't he say that Baowenshan's military situation was urgent? .

Yu Chixin pointed to this workshop and said: "Baowenshan Zhuoshou Mansion is a fortress, and the Uyghurs don't have siege weapons, so they can defend it. This is the newly built ordnance workshop, and I'm here to order weapons today!"

"Order weapons? Didn't our Mo Dao just change?"

Yu Chixin shook his head and said, "Those weapons can't deal with the Uighur cavalry."

"what?"

"The two armies of Doulu and Moli were set up to deal with the Tubo people. There are more infantry and less cavalry. An army formed by infantry alone is too cumbersome. It cannot catch up with the Uighur cavalry who are proficient in horseback riding and archery."

"Your Highness means that rescuing Baowen Mountain is only one of the goals. What is the most important goal of our army's deployment?"

Xue Cheng immediately said: "Your Highness said, we want to hurt the Uyghurs and promote peace through war!"

Then Xue Cheng said with emotion: "Your Highness is really tall! The Uighur bandits are like this. Only when they are hurt by beating them can they survive!"

Yu Chixin nodded and said: "Your Highness wants to hurt the Uyghurs. Our army marched to Baowen Mountain. It is not difficult to break the siege of the Shoufu, but it is not easy to kill the Uyghurs."

Xue Cheng was also an old soldier, and he immediately understood Yu Chixin's meaning: "That's true, Hui Huier's riding skills are really good, we are all infantry, it is still very difficult to encircle them."

Xue Cheng couldn't help admiring Yu Chixin, as expected of the leader of the first army, Yu Chixin discovered his own weakness so quickly.

Yu Chixin said: "The Uyghur cavalry are brave, their horses are all armored, and their fighting power is strong. We only have 1000 men. Although we can push back the cavalry that besieged Baowen Mountain, if we want to make a difference in the northern border, we cannot use the original tactics. "

After hearing this, Xue Cheng was a little worried, but when he saw Yu Chixin's calm expression, he immediately asked, "Has the captain already found a solution?"

Yu Chixin nodded and said: "I have already figured out a way to defeat the enemy, now I need to order a batch of special weapons in Dashuixia, and then practice it before going to the battlefield."

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons. If you want to deal with the Uyghurs, you must first prepare your weapons and practice your formations. Only in this way can you accomplish your highness' strategic goals."

Xue Cheng completely admired him: "The captain is like a god!"

Hearing Xue Cheng praise himself so much, Yu Chixin's face turned dark.

After receiving the task of leading the troops to support the northern border, Yu Chixin also thought about it carefully.

He went to consult a lot of players who knew history, and learned that the Uighur cavalry was mainly light cavalry, and Wang Tingjun also had some elite heavy cavalry.

Uighur is a powerful country that can wrestle with the Tang Dynasty, and its cavalry is quite elite.

Ordinary cavalry weapons have leather armor, and even horses have armor to protect the horse's body.

Yu Chixin soon realized that relying on his experience with Tubo to deal with the Uighur cavalry would not work.

So how about using Datang's method to deal with cavalry?
I'm sorry, Li Yan doesn't have this condition now.

The Tang Dynasty also used cavalry to deal with the Turkic people. These days, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was powerful, and there were many cavalry generals who used soldiers like gods in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The vast territory of the Tang Dynasty did not lack horses, so in the past Longyou defended against the Uyghurs, and used cavalry against cavalry extravagantly.When 20 troops were drawn into the pass, the Tang cavalry could even fight against the Uighur cavalry.

However, Li Yan lacked horses in his hands, and the players were not yet proficient in riding and shooting. It was still far away to form a player cavalry.

Doulu and Moli's army were also infantry, and there were only a few elite who were good at riding and shooting.

Since there were no cavalry, Yu Chixin copied the homework of later generations, why didn't infantry deal with cavalry?

Whose homework was copied, of course it was Yue Wumu!

Yue Family Army!
Because of the loss of Yanyun Hetao and other places in the Northern Song Dynasty, the horse administration gradually deteriorated, and there was a serious shortage of cavalry.

When Yue Fei fought against gold, he summed up a set of tactics for infantry against cavalry!
Yu Chixin did a lot of research and was overwhelmed!
This is a set of tactics for team combat. The front row of the team is shielded to protect teammates from cavalry bows and arrows.

Behind the shieldman is an archer who shoots arrows from a long distance. The archer is responsible for shooting and harassing the cavalry, slowing down the speed of the enemy's charge.

Then there is the knife and ax hand. The method of the Yue family army is to use the knife and ax hand to chop the horse's legs. The cavalry's horse is armored, but the horse's hoof and horse's legs are not protected. This method forces the enemy to dismount and fight.

Finally, there are pikemen. Pikemen can cooperate with swordsmen to attack the belly of the horse, or they can pierce and attack the knight on the horse under the protection of the shield hand. They are regarded as free men of the whole team and can cooperate with teammates to attack at any time.

The number of this team is flexible. A shield soldier, an archer, a knife and axeman, and a pikeman can form a team of four.It is also possible to form a small battle group of 50 or even [-] people.

This flexible and highly targeted formation allowed Yue Fei to fight back and forth against the elite cavalry of the Jin army, and even defeated the Jin army when he had an advantage in strength.

The fighting power of the Uighurs is naturally not as good as that of the Jin army, and the quality of the players and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is far better than that of the Song Dynasty.

So Yuchixin stated his tactics to King Jianning early on, and King Jianning immediately ordered the shields and spears Yuchixin needed to be built in the ordnance workshop of Dashuixia.

At this time, a player yelled: "Let the water go!"

During the night, the floodgates were opened to release water from the reservoir, and the torrential river rushed down from the upper reaches.

These rivers did not churn up huge waves, the potential energy was converted into kinetic energy to drive the gears, and the hydraulic hammer in the Armory Workshop started.

Xue Cheng saw a shocking scene, the huge machine section driven by the water flow hit the fiery red steel ingot.

Pressing, forging, and grinding are all assisted by semi-automatic hydraulic machinery, and the quenched gun head is shining with sharp light.

What a mighty power this is!

　Modified a paragraph, the chapter comment is gone...

　　Feel sorry!

　　Thanks to several readers for pointing out the problem. The Northern Song Dynasty did not lack horses, but war horses.

　　The lack of horses in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty was still due to the Xixia rebellion and the corruption of the horse government.

　　Wang Anshi also tried to reform to solve the horse problem, but failed.

　　One last word, Yue Fei is amazing!
