Chapter 274 Unbearable
Nowadays, Liangshan's extremely powerful artillery is no longer a secret. In the battle, the enemy will try its best to take some corresponding measures, so in addition to attack and defense, or ambush, Liangshan's army rarely uses artillery to attack.
And seeing that there was no artillery in the Liangshan army, it undoubtedly increased the courage of the Tubo generals. Because they only listen to Liangshan's artillery, but they haven't heard how strong Liangshan soldiers are!
Yue Fei looked at the Tubo people with cold eyes. He could almost guess what the Tubo generals were thinking and couldn't help sneering secretly. Today, let you aliens see our Liangshan Iron Army.
Some of the reason for Song Qing's trip was to give his son more insight, so he also took his son with him.
Xiao Haotian was born with a general. The tense atmosphere before the war between the two armies did not affect him at all. He looked at the boundless people of the enemy and us with great interest.
"Father, are those in strange clothes opposite bad people?"
"Yes, many years ago, they were worse than bad people and often regarded our Han people as two-legged sheep. Do you think they are bad?"
Xiao Haotian still doesn't understand his father's words. Why is a good person called a two-legged sheep? He asked curiously, "Why is that?"
Song Qing didn't want to tell him that his son was too young, and the answer was too disgusting and bloody. But he didn't expect his son to be much smarter than he thought.
"Father said that they treat us Han people as food, right?"
At a young age, he has received a deep education because of his identity. He understands that the same kind of food is not as good as animals.
When he figured this out, his face was already full of disgust when he looked at the Tubo people.
In the rumble of the drums, 5,000 archers in the Liangshan army quickly came to the front of the array, pointing their arrows in mid-air, waiting for the order.
The other party's Tubo cavalry did not care about this conventional tactics at all, because at the speed of the war horse, the archer's arrows can only carry out more than two rounds of strikes on the cavalry. When the third arrow did not wait for the winding, the cavalry had already rushed into the enemy's array.
And the Tubo cavalry are good at shooting. They can not only freely control the war horses on the Benz war horses, but also do not affect their firing bows and arrows.
Although this is the first confrontation between the two armies, they obviously attach great importance to this first battle, especially on Liangshan's side. Because they all know that the prince is watching the battle behind, their morale is extremely high.
The Tubo generals know very well that the focus of Liang Shan's formation is on the cavalry on the left and right wings. Only when the crossbowman reaches a certain result, will the cavalry take advantage of the situation to cover up.
It's really a simple formation that can't be simpler.
There are no infantry and all-in-one cavalry in Tibet. In the sound of the horn, 10,000 iron riders rushed to the Liangshan camp. While rushing back, he threw bows and arrows to suppress Liang Shan's archers. When he was about to enter the range of Liangshan crossbow, the army suddenly split into two and went directly to kill the cavalry on both wings of Liangshan's army.
Can these Tubo people specul as if Yue Fei uses soldiers?
With a wave of the flag, all the archers suddenly converged into a straight line and quickly squatted down and lifted the shield to block themselves. After 5,000 crossbowmen turned into a straight line, Liangshan Iron Horse, who had been motionless in the rear, suddenly launched, along the gap left by the brothers in front of him, like a sharp blade straight into the Tubo cavalry that had been divided into two teams.
The general of Tibet couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene. Is there such a situation?
Not only that surprised him. He suddenly found that the Liangshan cavalry not only rode and shot worse than them, but also had hard armor on his body. It was not until then that he realized that Liangshan men and horses occupied Xixia. Of course, those sophisticated armors of Xixia had to be matched to the cavalry. He hated the cunning Liangshan people to dye their armor. Cotton color, at first he thought it was just ordinary armor!
At this time, there was no time to sigh. As soon as the Tubo general saw that as they came into contact, Liang Shan Tieqi defeated his striker and fought deep. He hurriedly blew the trumpet again and ordered the cavalry behind him to press on the whole line.
In the first confrontation between the two armies, they actually used more than 50,000 horses. It can be seen that no one is in the mood to test each other, but wants to decide the world in the first battle.
The Tubo army moved, and Liangshan's army also issued an order to suppress the whole line.
This is not a fancy and tough situation, and Yue Fei has prepared for this day for a whole winter.
And the Liangshan people under Yue Fei did not disappoint Yue Fei, and almost set the victory from the beginning. After the first cavalry defeated the Tubo cavalry, the cavalry behind them first cut through, divided the Tubo army into two, and then turned around and inserted them.
The whole army is as flexible as an arm, which is unbelievable. In a blink of an eye, it has scattered the Tubo army.
This is the time to test Liang Shan's soldier's individual combat ability. It turns out that the people trained by Yue Fei are a well-deserved iron army.
Whether it is close combat or long-range shooting, it can be said that every soldier is proficient in it.
In front of such an army, the tough Tubo army soon fell. Without waiting for the general to send a message, soldiers have begun to retreat.
Yue Fei saw this and ordered to beat the drum.
It is an iron law that every soldier knows, especially now that he still wants to perform. In the sound of war drums, every soldier attacked the Tibet soldiers like chicken blood.
At this time, the Tubo generals have seen that even if they pull out all the horses in the camp, they will not win this battle. Fortunately, there are still more than 100,000 horses in the camp, otherwise we can really win or lose this battle.
If you don't hesitate, you will immediately order the troops to retreat. This general is not bad. He knows that if the defeated soldiers are returned to the camp, Liang Shan's army is likely to chase them in. At that time, these hundreds of thousands of troops can be dispersed by their own people without Liang Shan.
In the unique retreat horn sound of Tubo, the remaining Tubo people began to flee.
The Tubo people and horses would retreat in this way, but Yue Fei did not expect that, as the Tubo general thought, if the Tubo defeated soldiers returned to the camp, Yue Fei would definitely order the whole army to attack and defeat the Tubo army in one fell swoop.
Looking at the Tubo camp waiting in the distance, Yue Fei had to order his own people who were still chasing and killing the remnants of Tubo soldiers to withdraw. Now he regrets not bringing out the artillery. If the artillery can follow up at this time, the Tubo army will not even have a chance to change its formation.
In fact, this is not to blame Yue Fei. Although he is confident in defeating the Tubo army, he did not expect the Tubo army to be so vulnerable.
After the army returned, they guarded Song Qing's men and horses left and right, knocked on the winning drum and returned to the camp.
Now the soldiers in the Liangshan army believe that such a smooth victory is due to the prince's presence in person. It is estimated that if someone takes the lead, they will have to live three times.
That night, Song Qing held a celebration banquet in the camp to entertain the soldiers who had made contributions in the battle.
Song cleared major occasions, or drank when the Liangshan brothers gathered together. But today, I also made an exception to honor these warriors for two cups.
Because the two armies are still on the verge of war at any time, of course, they can't drink too much wine. After the celebration banquet, Song Qing, Zhu Wu and Yue Fei sat together to talk about the current situation.
The unbearable attack of the Tubo army is also beyond Song Qing's expectation. Previously, they were regarded as a very powerful enemy, but now it seems that they are too careful.
And after watching the war situation with Song Qing, Zhu Wu also had the same idea as Song Qing.
After a few words, Song Qing said to Yue Fei, "Brother Yue, if you fight against Tubo at this time, how much do you have a chance of winning?"
Yue Fei pondered for a moment before saying, "According to the strength of the two armies, I am very sure to destroy the Tubo army, but Tubo is located on the plateau and is about to enter winter, so if Tubo is attacked at this time, I am afraid that the soldiers will be affected by the weather and region, which will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness."
Song Qing couldn't help laughing. How could he make such a mistake? Knowing that Tibet is a plateau climate, how can you be carried away by a victory?
I heard Yue Fei continue to say, "However, I plan to take advantage of this winter, when others think that my army will not take action, send troops to the Western Regions to recover the small countries in the Western Regions that have fallen since the Later Tang Dynasty, and resettle the Northern Court Protectorate."
This is what Yue Fei has reported to Song Qing for a long time, and it is just an old saying.
Song Qing nodded, turned his head to look at Zhu Wu, and said, "Is there something wrong with logistics?"
"If it is 100,000 troops, there will definitely be no problem with 30,000 to 50,000, and the Western Expeditionary Army can also collect and support on the spot"
After listening to Zhu Wu's words, Yue Fei also said, "I plan to take only 30,000 cavalry to fight. As the governor said, if there are many people and horses, it will definitely be a problem, so I plan to go there and eat there."
In this regard, Song Qing is very self-evident. He knows that whether these two people are leading troops or coordinating logistics, they are much better than themselves. Since they all said there was no problem, it's up to them!
nodded and said, "You submit a detailed report, and I will send it back to Luoyang for archiving after I approve it."
Nowadays, various systems and mechanisms within Liangshan are becoming more and more perfect. Even if Song Qing is respected as a prince, many things have to be discussed with officials before making a final decision.
After a war, the restless heart of the Tubo army finally calmed down, and then asked Ali Gu to walk. At the same time, he dared not respond to the continuous provocation of Liangshan people and horses.
On the other hand, we are also paying close attention to the movement of Liangshan. If there are artillery in Liangshan camp, the scout will immediately release a signal, and the Tubo army will be ready. Once Liangshan has signs of firing, it will immediately disperse. It didn't give Liang Shan a chance to carry out a devastating shelling.
After two days of stalemate, Yue Fei formulated a plan to completely annihilate the Tubo army according to the situation of the Tubo army.
But before the plan began to be implemented, Tubo Buddha Zhuopuba suddenly came and went to Liangshan Camp to visit Song Qing.
