Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 382 The Power of Light Cavalry
Chai Lindao: "In this battle, more than 5000 Liao soldiers were killed, more than [-] horses were captured, and more than [-] horses were not injured. The horses are rich. The heavy cavalry of the next two battalions will be expanded appropriately, but Not too much, heavy cavalry consumes too much, and relies too much on logistical pressure."

The two nodded in understanding, and Lin Chong asked, "How do we fight next?"

Chai Lin pointed to the map and said, "Arici, who was just wiped out, is the vanguard of the Liao army, 100 cavalry. More than [-] miles to the west is Kou Zhenyuan's [-] troops. We will enter Gaoyang City early tomorrow morning, and Pang Wanchun's The light cavalry is maneuvering outside the city. I think Kou Zhenyuan will definitely come."

I didn’t say why I came to Chailin specifically, because there are millions of wealth in Gaoyang City, gold, silver, jewelry, and copper coins. This is all thanks to Alich’s [-] troops who fought all the way to Caogu. This is huge for Kou Zhenyuan. lure.

Early the next morning, the army marched into the city.

The people waited eagerly at the gate, and welcomed them warmly.

Take the lead with a big banner and write three big characters of Cangzhou General Soldier.The six hundred heavy cavalry led by Lin Chong were the first to enter the city. They were all covered in iron armor and masks on their faces.

Although there are not many soldiers, but the murderous look is so strong that the people watching the excitement dare not take a deep breath. The heavy cavalry puts too much pressure on people.

Immediately followed by Sun An's heavy cavalry, and then Chai Lin's central army, the [-]-person barracks entered the city behind.

As soon as the infantry entered the city, they began to deploy their defenses. They went directly to the city wall, put the artillery mounts, the wooden boards for the arrows, and the sandbag racks.

Shooting arrows with sandbags is very effective, and the defense power is [-]%. Even if you are a giant crossbow, it is useless to hit sandbags.

When the army took over Gao Yang, Xie Zhen led the special forces and disappeared quietly. No one except Chailin knew where they went. Since the day they joined the special forces, they had decided that their mission would never be an ordinary battle. , was born surrounded.

At noon, Pang Wanchun led the light cavalry back, and Ma Lin went to the city to report.

"Brother, the 3 Liao soldiers led by Kou Zhenyuan abandoned their luggage and rushed to Gaoyang. The Wanyu cavalry is less than [-] miles away from here." Ma Lin said.

"Where is your battalion now?" Chailin asked.

"Our battalion was stationed in an empty village about ten miles to the north of the enemy army. We met the enemy more than ten times and wiped out about hundreds of enemies. We had no casualties." Ma Lin said.

"Okay, go back and tell Pang Wanchun, don't confront the enemy head-on, circle around to contain the enemy, and come out to attack the enemy when the enemy is defeated. The infantry can be let go, but the cavalry must keep their horses .” Chailin said.

"Yes." Ma Lin turned and left.

Kou Zhenyuan was so angry that he led the ten thousand cavalry himself.The goal is to go straight to Gaoyang City, saying that it is to avenge Alich, but in fact it is nonsense, Gaoyang City has the fruits of Alici's labor in grassland, almost 500 million yuan in wealth.The Liao soldiers are actually at the end of their strength, and the Hejin soldiers have wiped out the elite, and now they urgently need wealth to recruit soldiers and restore their glory.

But the light cavalry led by Pang Wanchun wandered around like flies.Rush over and shoot a few arrows to run, go chase them, they run fast, don't chase them, they will rush up again.

If you send too many soldiers, they will flee, if you send too few soldiers, they will encircle and suppress.Now Kou Zhenyuan didn't even dare to send out rangers. This group of people was too ruthless. They shot arrows on their horses, and they took their horses as goods and seized them.

Pang Wanchun was very proud, and said: "This method of warfare is so effective that Kou Zhenyuan's frightened sentries have stopped coming out to scout. Under normal circumstances, when the army is marching, the sentries have to go out at least fifty miles to scout the surrounding environment."

Ma Lin said: "This method of warfare is very good, but it's all a small fight, and Kou Zhenyuan is so angry."

"That's the effect. We want to be like flies, so that they can't be chased away, they can't be caught, and they are disgusting." Pang Wanchun said.

"It's a pity that we captured this big horse, and my lord won't allow us to equip the light cavalry battalion." Ma Lin felt a little sorry for the captured big horse.

"My lord has your considerations. We are light cavalry, equipped with prairie horses, and the logistics pressure is small. If you ride this kind of horse, you have high requirements for forage, and your logistics will be different. Grassland horses are most suitable for riding and shooting. If you use Slashing with a saber will definitely cost you a lot of money," Pang Wanchun said.

Just as he was talking, the soldier reported, "The Liao army sent three thousand light cavalry over."

"Kou Zhenyuan is impatient, ready to fight hard, let's retreat, and don't let them play. Ma Lin, you are in the back, feed them some small melons." Pang Wanchun laughed.

"Okay, just watch."

The enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy soldiers are still several miles away. Pang Wanchun led the cavalry and began to retreat slowly.

Ma Lin led a hundred people to shoot arrows backwards continuously, the distance was too far, and they occasionally encountered a dead mouse.Little damage, big insult.

The Liao soldiers rushed forward screaming and clucking, waving their maces one by one, trying to smash the heads of the flies in front of them.

Ma Lin and the others saw that the distance was almost the same, and threw some small melons to the ground, smoking.

The cavalry of the Liao Army behind was charging, but they couldn't stop when they found something was wrong, so they had to bite the bullet and rushed forward.

Suddenly, more than a hundred small melons on the ground suddenly made a loud noise, and steel balls splashed everywhere. Suddenly, more than a hundred cavalrymen fell off their horses.

Ma Lin shook his head and sighed: "Poor those horses, what a horse."

The Liao soldiers came up fiercely, and the casualties of a hundred were still bearable. They chased Pang Wanchun's battalion for more than 30 miles, and the horses on both sides could not run anymore, so they gave up.

Pang Wanchun said: "After chasing, we thought it was all right, brothers, change to the spare horse and go up and fuck them."

Everyone changed their horses one after another, bent their bows and set their arrows, and rushed up. There was a round of arrow rain in the slanting stab. They shot down hundreds of enemy soldiers, and then retreated like the wind.

When the Liao soldiers chased again, they could not catch up. Their horses had run seventy or eighty miles since morning, and their strength had long been insufficient.

The key to scramble warfare is speed and mobility.The light cavalry battalion has one man and two prairie horses, riding in rotation. There is no heavy armor or heavy weapons, and they mainly use bows and arrows. It can be said that they come and go like the wind.

Kou Zhenyuan arrived very quickly. First, [-] troops arrived in the west of Gaoyang City, set up camp, and then [-] infantry arrived.

The huge camp of 3 horses, including tens of thousands of captured Song people, dug trenches and buried horses, which was quite solid.

Chai Lin led the generals to watch the enemy's camp with binoculars at the top of the city. After looking at it, Chai Lin shook his head and said, "There are at least [-] captives here, and this is not easy."

Lin Chong said: "Brother is worried that they will send strong men to attack the city tomorrow. It's not good if they fight, and it's not good if they don't fight."

"Exactly. I didn't expect Kou Zhenyuan to have no bottom line. I originally planned to use firecrackers to consume their troops when they attacked the city tomorrow, but now it seems inappropriate." Chailin said.

Sun An said: "If you don't want to rob the camp tonight, destroy his camp and see what they do."

Chai Lin thought for a while and said, "That's the only way. Tonight, five hundred cannons will be fired at the Liao soldiers."
