back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 837

Fighting generals in front of the battle is related to the morale of an army.Nong Zongdan was directly stabbed off the horse, and the Cochin army immediately became silent.

Li Rizun was riding a tall horse, so he naturally saw this scene, and he waved his whip out of thin air in resentment: "The guy who failed to succeed, and failed! Pass my order, the three armies will fight together, and fight to the death!"

Today's Jiaozhi is already a mourning army.

Food and grass are running low, and there is no way out.

There is a saying that the mourning army will win, so Li Rizun has the courage to go out of the city, looking forward to breaking the boat and fighting with his back to reverse the situation.Li Rizun didn't dare to hope that he could expel the imperial army and restore the country, he only hoped to have a little respite, at least he had to wait until Grand Master Ruan Daocheng turned around, didn't he?

The drums sounded like thunder, gradually boosting the morale of the Cochin army.

20 elite soldiers stood in line outside the city, their expressions became solemn.

This is a battle that determines the fate of the country. If you win, there is still a chance of life; if you lose, the Li Dynasty will perish.

Li Rizun also pulled out his gem-studded saber, and swung it forward vigorously: "Kill!!!"

The short but powerful sentence infected the morale of the surrounding people, and immediately lifted them up again!
In fact, the Cochin army is not weak, otherwise, how could they still live extremely well under the attack of Champa and Chenla?The Cochin people who have learned the tactics of the Central Plains are much better than Champa and Chenla in terms of tactics and strategy.

But I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods.What you are proud of, compared with others, when you do not know how many times weaker, you will find that your confidence has been completely destroyed.The Cochin elite soldiers are indeed top-notch, but they are not as good as the Khitan army.Although the forbidden army hadn't fought many Khitan troops, they were not weak compared to the frontier army.We must know that the Dashun frontier army has been carrying the Khitan army for decades, and it can be a draw, so we know it is not a weak army.If it weren't for the lack of cavalry, the Khitan people would not dare to invade the border.

After all, the Han people in the Central Plains are the ancestors of the Jiaozhi people.What the Cochin people have learned is just scratching the surface.They know the art of war, know how to arrange troops, but their minds are rigid, rigid and rigid, and they don't know how to adapt.You must know that the imperial army now pays attention to corps combat, marching in square formations, covering long-range strikes, and three-stage shooting... It has broken away from the form that only pays attention to battle formations and charging.In the period when personal ability is the most important, no one dares to fight against one hundred, no matter what else, even the overwhelming arrows, you can't avoid it.

In fact, Jiaozhi is also helpless, because even if Dashun knows the tactics, he can't learn them.The Dashun Forbidden Army now pays most attention to long-range fire strikes in frontal combat.The phalanx formed by crossbowmen used the method of three-stage shooting to form an uninterrupted rain of arrows.Under the strong bow and crossbow, there are almost no survivors.

But only the rich and powerful Dashun could use this method, not to mention anything else, it would take a year to manufacture the magic arm crossbow alone, costing hundreds of pennies.Jiaozhi is so poor, how can there be capital to make such expensive bows and crossbows, and then train them into an army?

In addition to crossbowmen, Dashun also has musketeers, which are similar in nature.Under the cover of firepower, there are almost no enemies in front of them.

Coupled with Lu Chengqi's repeated emphasis on combat flexibility, the mobility of the Forbidden Army is not weak.As long as you get used to it for a few more years, you won't even be afraid of nomadic cavalry.

With such a powerful firepower, as long as it is slowly crushed step by step, no grass will grow wherever it goes.

Soon, Li Rizun realized what it means to cover with firepower and what it means to smash you to death with money.Li Rizun wanted to cry, but the morale of the Jiaozhi army was finally defeated by the arrows all over the sky.Although the archers in the Jiaozhi army also shot arrows desperately to fight back.But under the bow and crossbow of Dashun who had developed to the peak, he was still on the spot.

Strong bow and crossbow, extremely strong penetration and lethality.Within a hundred paces, there was hardly anyone alive.Not to mention the Hongxiang-style rifle, which is equivalent to a plug-in, and within 150 steps, there is no one alive.

Looking at his scholars, they were harvested mercilessly by arrows like wheat, and they fell down one crop after another.Only then did Li Rizun understand the difference between Jiaozhi and Dashun.

In fact, this is also the battle method used by the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty to fight against nomadic peoples in the official history. Under the mentally handicapped strategy of the two emperors Huiqin of the Northern Song Dynasty "Allied with Jin to destroy Liao", the most elite Western Army (army against Xixia) in the Northern Song Dynasty was dismantled. The six parts that belonged to each other were scattered into various battlefields, and met the Jin army that was gaining momentum.This is like scattered fingers, if they meet someone's iron fist, even if it is a diamond finger, it may be a tragedy.As a result, the Western Army suffered a tragedy.The most typical one is the Taiyuan War.The central part of the Western Army Division in charge of the rescue had not been fully replenished, but was urged by the Privy Council Xu Han, who did not know the soldiers, to rush to the battlefield like ducks on shelves, without even having time to bring supplies.Sure enough, he fell into the siege of the Jin army's reinforcements.Even so, the Song army was still tenacious and won three out of five battles, but at the critical moment, the god arm crossbow, the big killer, didn't have enough arrows, and it was quickly used up.This remnant of the Song Army, which had fought to the end, was led by the commander-in-chief to launch the final attack, and all of them died heroically!

Later, in order to be able to deal with the God Arm Bow, the Jin Army also fought their old lives. Each Jin Army was wearing two layers of armor, and the soldiers and horses were connected. Not only was the whole line collapsed after being beaten.The coach Wanyan Zongbi (also known as Jin Wushu in the novel) ran away even more. In order to escape for his life, he even cut off his beard!

But why did the Song Dynasty have only half of the country with such a big killer-the god arm crossbow?In fact, it is easy to understand that a warrior with all muscles and fierce fighting power has a brain with a low IQ.How did such a fool win the fight against a master?Upgrading equipment but not brains, the lessons of the Song Dynasty, the swan song of the god arm bow, will never be the past tense!The so-called attacking from the top, planning to attack in the middle, and handing over the troops to the bottom. Although the individual soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty were very strong, they lacked grand strategic thinking and effective diplomatic means. The failure was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.

Fortunately, Lu Chengqi knew about the tragedy of the Song Dynasty, and built the Royal Military Academy early in order to form a perfect balance of tactics, strategy and equipment.The lessons are taught by veterans who have led the army in person, and the experience of fighting against the enemy is passed down from generation to generation.Only when experience is passed on will it not lead to tragedy.

The imperial army is exempt from detours, but it is the Jiaozhi army who suffers.

This was the first large-scale formal battle of the imperial army, and also the first multi-armed battle with crossbowmen and musketeers as the main force. It was also an unprecedented decisive battle.The advantage of ferocious firepower was brought into full play by the Forbidden Army.On weekdays, how can there be such a carefree shooting?

In the end, even the crossbow arrows were all fired, and the Jiaozhi army couldn't withstand the scene of such a scene where human lives were harvested like grass, and fled to Shenglong City one after another.

It is not a golden law that the mourning army must win, but it must be established on the premise that the number of soldiers is equal and the equipment is almost the same.The Jiaozhi army is indeed a mourning army, but in the face of absolute firepower coverage, their flesh and blood still cannot resist.Even Li Rizun saw that he couldn't do anything, so he fled back to the city in embarrassment surrounded by the personal guards.

The imperial army saw that Li Rizun's imperial flag was involved in the city, how could they let it go?
Naturally, the imperial army began to beat the drums and attack the city!
