Hua Xiong was a little anxious, "Then what should we do? Our army only has 4000 troops, and there are 9000 cavalrymen. This terrain is not suitable for cavalry deployment. The [-] cavalrymen are useless! The [-] infantry soldiers are too weak. According to reliable information, there are still [-] or [-] people in the Shenqing Division!"
The surrounding terrain is really not good for the dry army. This terrain is equivalent to binding the hands and feet of the two thousand dry army cavalry!
What should we do now?Once the dry army spreads out and presses up, it will be too late to think of a way!The cavalry can still run, how can the two thousand infantry run?What about the large amount of food and supplies?
Zhao Junsheng looked around and quickly ordered: "Hua Xiong, you take the official road as the central axis and line up along the field ridges on both sides with 1000 troops on the left and 1000 troops on the right. Everyone removes their armor and discards their shields, and fights the enemy with only weapons!"
Hua Xiong was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, if the infantry don't have the defense of armor and shields, how can they resist the enemy's weapons and arrows? The casualties will be multiplied. Our army only has two thousand infantry... ··”
Zhao Junsheng turned his head and stared: "I asked you to carry out the military order, do you want to disobey?"
Hua Xiong could only clasped his fists and agreed: "I dare not, I obey the order!"
Hua Xiong immediately began to deploy, and the 2000 men and horses quickly spread out, forming a total of eight rows from east to west.
Zhao Junsheng ordered Niu Dali again: "One thousand dragon guards stay here, and you take one thousand cavalry. The thousand cavalry are divided into two groups, five hundred cavalry go around along the river bank and go north to flank the enemy's right flank, five hundred cavalry The cavalry went around from the right to attack the enemy's left flank, and they must not walk through the fields when attacking, because here are all paddy fields, full of muddy water, and it is impossible to move an inch in the field of war horses!"
"promise!"
At this time, the Song Army is also forming troops. The terrain here has a natural advantage for the Song Army. Except for the messengers, the security troops, and the scout battalion in the Song Army, all other soldiers and horses are Infantry, in such terrain, cavalry can't play any role at all.
But in order to take advantage of the terrain, the Song army must take the initiative to attack. Only by entering the field area can the cavalry of the dry army be restricted.
"General, how will we fight this battle?" Liu Yuanjing rode forward and asked with fists clasped.
Shen Qingzhi pointed to the official road: "Call over all the heavy armored infantry from each army, line up the official road full, and form a dense formation! The other armies are divided into left and right wings, centered on the official road, and lined up one by one. This time This general wants to eat this army of soldiers!"
Following Shen Qingzhi's order, the Song army also moved quickly. More than 100 heavy armored infantrymen of the whole army lined up in ten columns on the official road, with [-] people in each column. Shield, sword or spear.
The infantry of the Song Army was deployed on the left and right of the bank near the paddy field. This is a wasteland with overgrown weeds. If the cavalry of the Gan Army were to attack here, the Song Army would not be able to resist it. Therefore, the battlefield must be set in the paddy field. The cavalry that blocked the dry army.
The banners of both sides were unfurled, and the war horses neighed. At this time, the enemy and our camps were full of people roaring and horses neighing, and there was a lot of noise.
Army camp.
Kang Yide was trembling, he stepped forward and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, those captive soldiers and civilian husbands..."
"Don't worry about them. Among the soldiers and captives, we are under the control of the generals and officers of the army, and they are wary of each other. They don't dare to mess around. As for the civilians, they can't control so much at this time. Go and convey my message to Liu Zhengyi. According to the decree, let him bring the soldiers and captives to me and take care of the peasants and luggage, so that nothing can go wrong!"
"Promise!" Kang Yide took the order and left.
Zhao Junsheng gave an order to Xue Daobiao, the commander of the imperial guards: "You lead the imperial guards to lead the formation, and do things cheaply!"
"promise!"
Chapter 1039 Heavy Armored Cavalry VS Heavy Armored Infantry
"Longwei Army, all the men and horses are wearing heavy armor!" Zhao Junsheng gave the order.
There were a thousand dragon guards when they set out from Chang'an, and they lost dozens of people in several battles. Now there are only a few hundred and twenty people, but no matter who dares to underestimate these 920 people, they are bound to suffer a big loss.
Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the soldiers of the Dragon Guards not only put horse armor on the horses, but also wrapped themselves tightly with heavy armor.
There are too few places to stand around, even if you want to spread out all the Dragon Guard cavalry with less than 1000 people, you can't do it.
In order to make room for the Dragon Guards to line up, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "Infantry, advance!"
The herald roared, "Infantry, advance—"
The drummer immediately waved the drumsticks, "Boom, boom, boom..."
The beating of the drums was unhurried, and the interval between two beats was just enough for a person to take a step.
"Forward—" Hua Xiong pulled out his saber and pointed forward, roared, and took the lead to walk down the paddy field, immediately splashing mud and water.
Row after row of dry army infantry carried shields, swords or spears in neat formation from the field ridge to the paddy field, and the He seedlings were stepped into the muddy water, and the He seedlings that were still green and lush Miao was quickly ruined in a large area. If ordinary people saw it here, they would definitely jump up and scold their mothers in anxiety.
It was about to see the life and death of the blood and the victory and defeat, who cares about the seedlings, even if the field is full of gold, no one would dare to pick it up at this time.
The infantrymen in armor soon felt the pain, the load was too heavy, and they were able to walk in the paddy field at first, but they couldn't hold it for a long time, and the muddy water on their calves hindered their progress.
Fortunately, Zhao Junsheng issued an order in time: "The infantry disarms!"
"Infantry unarmoured—" the order was sent out immediately.
The dry army infantry cut off the lacing ropes on the armor with their blades as they walked. Soon, the armor on the soldiers fell into the muddy water, and the people behind stepped on them and stepped them into the muddy water. It is much easier to advance with shield and weapons.
At this time, the Song Army had also finished preparations, and Shen Qingzhi gave an order: "The former army advances!"
Both the heavy armored infantry deployed on the official road and the light armored infantry deployed on the two wings were ordered to advance together. The heavy armored infantry stepped on a neat pace, and the ground shook and dust was flying.
The light armored infantry on the two wings also carried their shields and weapons and walked down the paddy field, and each of them went up to the opposing dry army in a dense formation.
After the former army had all disembarked in the paddy field, Shen Qing gave an order: "Crossbowmen step forward!"
The bow and crossbow phalanx came to the edge of the field in neat steps, and Shen Qingzhi gave an order: "Let the arrows—"
"Shoot the arrow—"
With a muffled "buzz", countless arrows flew into the sky and shot at the dry army infantry.
Most of them landed in the paddy fields in front of the two armies, and the arrows were submerged by the seedlings.
The second wave of arrows still fell on the spot, but two rows of soldiers in the dry army had already entered the range, but at this time everyone had raised their shields to block them in front of them and above their heads, and a large number of arrows were blocked by the shields.
The general of the first building of the Dragon Guard Army rushed over to report to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, the first building of the Dragon Guard Army is ready!"
Zhao Junsheng looked at it, raised his hand and waved forward: "There is no need to wait any longer, I order you to lead an attack, and smash all the enemy troops on the official road for me, and crush them into powder!"
"Leader!"
The official road is not spacious, a row of six riders already fills the entire official road, and there is no room for one more rider.
"All the officers and soldiers of the first building of the Dragon Guards obey the order and get on their horses!" The general of the first building shouted loudly, stepping on the stirrups and stepping on the horse first.
More than [-] soldiers of the Dragon Guard mounted their horses together, and there was a rattling sound of armor and weapons rubbing against each other.
"Ready to ride—"
There was another loud roar, and the more than [-] soldiers of the Dragon Guards who had mounted their horses quickly put the tail of their spears into the sleeve. On the other hand, when charging, the knight only needs to hold the gun shaft and grasp the direction of the gun head. He no longer needs to clamp the gun shaft under his armpit as before, and use his arms and body to fully bear the force of the impact.
In the past, if the cavalry's charge tactical quality was not well trained, not only would it be useless to kill the enemy, but it would also abolish the arms and arms holding the gun, because the powerful impact force during the charge was simply not something one arm could bear.
Well-trained cavalry with skilled tactical movements can let go of the spear at the moment of stabbing the enemy's body during the charge, and switch to short weapons to kill the enemy. will be abolished by a powerful impact force.
In view of this, Zhao Junsheng added such a device to the cavalry - a cowhide sleeve, put the tail of the spear into it and tie it to the horse. When charging, the powerful impact will be passed on to the horse by the cowhide sleeve. It will not be accepted by the knight. The knight only needs to hold the gun to grasp the direction, forward, left or right. The heavy armored cavalry equipped with this cowhide sleeve is a real tank and can go on a rampage.
The length of the lance reaches more than four meters. Even if the body of the horse is two meters long, the lance can extend more than two meters beyond the horse's head. Such a long distance is enough for the knight to use the sprint speed of the horse to adjust the direction of the spear head at will to kill the enemy. , Sometimes even several corpses of enemy soldiers can be strung on one lance.
