Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 192

The lights in Xuanfu Town are brightly lit.

The prince and the generals were still deducing formations in front of the sand table. Haitang and Shuang'er were making tea in a small cubicle next to them, both of them listening to the people outside.

"The strongest force of this part of the Tatars is [-] cavalry. Their infantry has [-]. The remaining [-] are the young and old of each tribe and the food and grass logistics." Dong Haoran, deputy general of Xuanfu Town, said: "Their cavalry is what they dare to do. If they challenge the core strength of Xuanfu Pass and face off against infantry, they will not be able to take advantage."

Xie Yuanfeng said: "We only have 20 cavalry and nearly [-] infantry. If we fight directly, even if we are large in number, even if we win in the end, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Head-on confrontation is definitely not the best strategy."

"Iron cavalry." The prince said one word carefully: "This is the key point."

The cavalry that can be called "iron cavalry" is different from the light cavalry that Yan Shiyi brought to the field today. The light cavalry is fast, but has weak combat effectiveness. It relies on flexibility to win.But the iron cavalry is a heavily armored soldier, not very fast, but its combat effectiveness is super strong. If the light cavalry fights against it, it is equivalent to a hand-to-hand fight with iron.

Ten thousand versus fifty thousand, even if artillery is added, there is no guarantee of victory.Everyone was silent for a moment.

The prince has been running a horse farm for many years and knows horses better than anyone else.He said: "The cavalry is not without its weaknesses. Horses are livestock after all, and there are times when they are not controlled by humans. When the cavalry is advancing at a high speed, what they are most afraid of are flying arrows or fire bombs; the cavalry formation that gathers together is most afraid of flying arrows or fire bombs. What I’m afraid of is the sudden retreat of the front row.”

"Eleven, if you go out to flirt tomorrow, guess how many cavalry will be recruited?" Xie Ruitan said with a smile.

Yan Shiyi said nonchalantly: "How much do you care about him? Kill as many as he comes out." Yes, they need to send a vanguard out to test the opponent's strength, and it is best to disturb the morale of the army.

Before dawn, Yan Shiyi led one hundred infantry and one hundred light cavalry out of the pass.The infantry found a small forest with dense shrubs and ambush there.When he came out last night, he had already kept the surrounding environment in mind.

As soon as day broke, Yan Shiyi led his cavalry to the camp to provoke.

The Tatar soldiers who were attacked last night are still angry. Now they see the Chinese cavalry coming, why don't they get angry?A Tatar general got on his horse, followed by five hundred cavalry, and chased Yan Shiyi and the others.

Yan Shiyi ran towards the bushes where his people were ambushing. As soon as they ran over, the tripping rope was pulled up. A few of the Tatar cavalry tripped and fell, and they stopped the ones coming from behind.He followed the smoke ball and flew over. The Tatar soldiers who were spinning in circles were knocked down by grenades and crossbows. The ones behind them didn't know how many ambushes were ahead. They didn't dare to pursue them anymore and turned back to camp to move troops. went.

In this provocation, dozens of people were killed and dozens of horses were obtained.Where would Yan Shiyi stand and wait for the Tatars to move their troops?He quickly returned to the pass with his troops.

"I'll go again at night, and this time I will use the Shenhuo Flying Crow, which can be launched at an interval of 300 meters, and it will be used to shoot horses." Xie Ruitang said.He agreed with the crown prince's summary of the cavalry's weaknesses.Attacking horses has the effect of attacking cavalry.

"They were beaten once, so be careful of an ambush." ​​Yan Shiyi said honestly: "These two wins were lucky, but they didn't have much results. At most, they were psychological victories."

"I think we can make use of the war horses we captured today." The prince said, "Wuyou and Wuqing, you go tonight. When you get near the Tatar camp, burn the horse's tails and let them run back on their own."

"There must be an ambush in the front camp and the middle army. An Qing and I went around and directly burned their rear camp's food and grass." Ling Xue also felt itchy, and quickly asked the prince to fight: "Wuyou and the others messed up the front camp, just in time Give us cover." "Okay, okay! It's best not to let them sleep well during the day or at night." Shuang'er, who came out with tea, suddenly interrupted.

Everyone laughed.A series of plans, a battle of fatigue, just use the small to make a big difference.

At night, there was another burst of chaos in the enemy camp.The horses and the flying crows who came back burned a few more tents, and the back camp also caught fire. Although only part of the food and grass was burned, the impact was not big, but the mood of those old and young who accompanied the army was very bad. Several tribesmen All the elders went to the central military tent to make a fuss about withdrawing the troops.

The officers and soldiers in the Guanli of Xuanfu were excited, and they all wanted to go out to beat drums and call for battle.

"Okay! Vice General Dong, tomorrow you will lead the cavalry to call for battle. We will not really fight. If the enemy advances, we will retreat. If the enemy retreats, we will fight." After these two days of small fights, the prince also gained confidence in the subsequent confrontation.

Dong Haoran went there and struggled for another day, but couldn't beat them and couldn't drive them away. He hated the Tatar soldiers so much that they could not get rid of them. "If you have the ability, set up an array tomorrow and let's compete!" Dong Haoran shouted to the Tatar general and then led his people back to the pass.

On the third night, they did not go out to look for trouble again, but the Tatars were nervous all night, and no one dared to sleep well for fear that the Chinese soldiers would come out to cause trouble again.

Before dawn, when people were most sleepy, Ling Feng and the others quietly left the barrier and went to the enemy's formation and spread a lot of cooked black beans, as well as the princess's special jelly beans.

"The first floor is equipped with shield soldiers equipped with hooks and sickles, the second and third floors are equipped with fire cannons and rocket launchers, and the fourth floor is equipped with bird cannons. This is the infantry formation, led by General Cheng." Xie Ruitang faced his father-in-law. Speaking of.

He looked at Yan Shishi again and said, "You will lead the three thousand Qingqi cavalry, with long-handled scimitars on the horse's stomach. You don't need to love to fight. You are responsible for breaking up the enemy's cavalry formation and causing them to trample in chaos."

"5000 cavalry, sinking directly to the bottom, 5000 of them broke up their [-] reserve logistics, disturbing the morale of the army, and [-] directly hit the central army. Led by Gu Heshizi himself."

At dawn on the fourth day, the Tatars saw that the Chinese people were coming out of seclusion to prepare for battle. The Tatars, who had been provoked for several days, immediately cheered up and prepared for battle.

The formations of both sides were set up, and after waiting for a long time, Dong Haoran came out to call for formation.The Tatar generals recognized him as the deputy general of Xuanfu Town, and they all waited for the order and rushed out.

Just as Dong Haoran turned around and returned to the formation, the Tatar general gave the order to charge into the formation.The horses in the back row have already rushed forward, but the horses in the front rows are still standing still with their heads down.The cavalry on horseback took a look and saw that they were all eating jelly beans and black beans on the ground with gusto!
Haitang said: "Horses love black beans, and they love sugar even more. Even if crotons are wrapped in sugar, the horses will fight to eat them." A horse with diarrhea is more likely to hinder the cavalry behind than a horse lying on the ground poisoned.

The horse in front refused to move no matter how hard it was driven, and even shamelessly ate and pulled at the same time. The horse in the back didn't know what was going on and had already charged forward. The cavalry formation was suddenly in disarray.

The Tatar cavalry general was in a state of distress when Master Shiyi rushed in with three thousand light cavalry, nimble and beautiful. The light cavalry was originally not very effective in combat, but now there are long-handled scimitars hanging on both sides of the horse's belly, which are extremely sharp and cleverly positioned. When the horse's belly was cut, its intestines were immediately turned out.

Who dares to say that Qingqi is here to make trouble in the match?
