It is also important to know when to send troops. Earlier, the fire is not enough, and later, it is easy to lose the best fighter.
Qi Guanrang was very experienced, so he was naturally able to handle it well, not to mention that there were Wei Ci and Grandpa Sun Wen around him.
"Raise your vigilance, most of the enemies are about to attack." Wei Xin looked solemn.
"The strategist said... they will start at this time?" The general was startled first, and soon understood the way, he grabbed the weapon in his hand suddenly, and said like a thunder, "Please rest assured, the strategist, they dare to do it, They must be kept coming and going.”
Wei Xin said, "Of course they will do it, otherwise when our army's baggage is in place, they won't be able to hold it again, and their morale will collapse."
A retreat can appease the soldiers and ensure that the army will not be scattered and the formation will not be chaotic. If it is done again, the situation will be passive.
Wei Wei had reason to believe that this was Qi Guanrang's last chance to act.
Sure enough, Erdao City was moving, several city gates opened, and soldiers poured out like a tide.
The cavalry and the chariot were at the forefront, extremely fast, but with a little effort they were able to close the distance, and they were about to charge up. Wei Xian ordered the archers to come forward to meet the enemy, set up a pole to resist the horse, and hinder the enemy's cavalry attack as much as possible, and then ordered the archers to attack with arrows.
The cavalry has always been a headache for the princes, not to mention that Jiang Pengji has both heavy cavalry and light cavalry. The heavy cavalry smashed into the formation, and the light cavalry took advantage of their speed to circumvent the enemy, making it an invincible combination.
Although the horse-rejection stakes can bring some trouble to the cavalry, it is not fatal.
You must know that Jiang Pengji's heavy cavalry army uses heavy horses, and the people and horses are covered with heavy armor. The craftsmanship of these armors has also been improved several times by her, and there is almost no weakness in the whole body. All connections are hidden, half a knuckle thick. Unless the enemy archers are skilled with arrows and can aim at the eyes of people or warhorses from long distances, it is difficult to cause lethal damage to them. These armors are either bronze or fine iron. How can ordinary arrows break such a thick defense
Putting Jiang Pengji's words to complain, these heavy cavalry are a group of iron tortoises, except for their slow speed, they have no other shortcomings.
Thousands of heavy cavalry launched a charge together, and the horse-rejecting stakes could be knocked into the air.
However, the heavy cavalry also has obvious weaknesses, the durability is extremely poor, the endurance is worrying, and the speed is slow.
If it is entangled by the enemy, it is basically like a lamb to be slaughtered.
The light cavalry sacrifices defense in exchange for a speed advantage.
Wei Xian had investigated Jiang Pengji, and of course he knew about the trump card army under her account. Seeing that the light and heavy cavalry had all come out, he knew that Qi Guanrang and the others were planning to fight him. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly. He is responsible for dispatching and commanding, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and in many cases it depends on the performance of the commander. General Nie Jun saw that the heavy cavalry could not wait to be armed to the teeth, and immediately switched tactics.
"Cut the horse's legs and poke the horse's eyes!" The general is also experienced in dealing with cavalry. The cavalry said it was terrible, but as long as they were unable to continue to charge and move after they entered the battle, the threat would be less. Arms and heads of quasi-enemy cavalry."
The heavy cavalry on horseback was terrifying, but the ones that dragged off the horses were not so good. Wearing such heavy armor to fight, the armor alone consumed most of their strength. Once the heavy cavalry falls, they lose their speed and strength advantages, and are more likely to die.
Of course, this is a theoretical tactic.
There is always a huge gap between practical operation and theoretical knowledge. The heavy cavalry is not alone but in groups!
The heavy cavalry with horses is about 800 to 1,000 kilograms, and the Asian elephant is only 3 to 5 tons. The heavy cavalry launched an attack at the same time, ignoring the enemy's horse-rejection stakes, and charged into the battle against the rain of arrows. How could a few dozen soldiers stop it
Crossing the horse-rejecting stake and rushing towards the crowd, the unlucky ghost who bore the brunt of the crash was directly hit with a broken sternum, a blossoming head, and he couldn't die any longer.
The saber in the hands of the heavy cavalry is also specially made. The blade is wide, the handle is extremely long, and the blade is sharp. Chopping people's heads is like cutting tofu. I saw more than a thousand heavy cavalry as if they were breaking into no man's land, and they ignored the drizzle and drizzle in the middle.
The heavy cavalry performed so well, and the light cavalry was not far behind.
The most annoying thing about cavalry, especially light cavalry, is that when they want to hit you, they will hit you. How can a two-legged man compare to a four-legged horse? It's still a fast-moving, live target that's difficult to target.
Archery is not so easy to practice, and it is impossible for those skilled archers who can hit every shot and pierce Yang with a hundred steps to be ordinary archers all their lives.
In many cases, the role of the archer is to shoot arrows in the direction of the enemy, causing indiscriminate damage to the enemy through a wide range of arrow rain. If one arrow is not accurate, then use several more. The blind cat can always hit the dead mouse, and the arrows it shoots can also hit the enemy.
Qi Guanzheng sent light and heavy cavalry to take the lead, naturally, not to make them use as cannon fodder to fight the enemy.
You must know that the most valuable troops under the account of their lord are them.
People can eat, and horses can eat more. Every qualified cavalry battalion soldier is smashed out of money, rice and grain.
When the cavalry went into battle, the main purpose was to use them to oppress the enemy and force them to be in chaos.
At the same time, it also buys time for the follow-up troops.
Let the enemy have no way to stabilize their position, and delay until the main force of the main force rushes over.
However, the cavalry is not only owned by the family, the Nie family is a more local tyrant than Jiang Pengji, and the scale of the cavalry trained is not small.
Qi Guan asked the enemy to stabilize their positions and start a counterattack, and immediately ordered the cavalry to return to the formation to reduce losses as much as possible.
The light cavalry swept the formation to obstruct the enemy's pursuit, and the heavy cavalry was responsible for covering and returning to the formation.
It hurts to lose a few of these golden bumps.
"kill"
Seeing this, Wei Yu's expression was extremely cold.
After the fierce battle, the sky slowly turned white.
The two armies fought all night, but their fighting spirit was high.
Nie Jun's morale was high because of a small victory, while Jiang Pengji's soldiers and horses were full of confidence and his eyes were red.
At the same time, Jiang Pengji and others led the remnants of the army to level the troops led by Fan Chen.
Originally, Fan Chen had twice as many people as they did, but now she has forcibly tied the number.
"Pooh"
He spat out a mouthful of blood that remained in his mouth, and Jiang Pengji showed a hideous smile on his face.
It was a real pleasure to kill this night. Except for the enemy, the enemy was the enemy, and it was full of heads. The key was that no one else could grab her.
"It's been a long time since I was so happy to kill!"
Bai Ning was also getting old, and he was seriously injured, and he was tired after staying up all night.
Hearing the master's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If one were to count the corpses on the battlefield, one third of them would have died in the hands of their own lord alone.
There is no life under the Zhanshen knife, and being hit by her is death, and the knife is aimed at the enemy's vital points.
"Fortunately, it's our lord," Qin Gong couldn't help but said, "If it's an enemy... it's probably a nightmare."
