Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Although Liu Rui didn't rush up to do it, he wasn't timid either.

At this time, the difference between a strong army and a weak brigade is reflected.

Liu Rui immediately arranged for scouts to continue collecting intelligence. At the same time, the whole army began to rectify.

Those who need to shit should do it quickly, and those who need to drink water should add water quickly.

The logistics began to distribute some light weapons in case of unexpected situations, and it was too late to equip them, so as to minimize the damage.

At the same time, officers at all levels have also received orders to quickly mobilize soldiers so that they can enter a fighting state.

Anyone who exercises regularly knows that there is a big difference between exercising after warming up and going straight without warming up.

Everything he is doing now is equivalent to warming up the army.

It's just a [-]-scale army. If you want to enter the state, you need the quick cooperation of each army and battalion.

The wind and waves are rolling, and the sun is scorching.

No matter how high-spirited Kyle was, he never thought that one day he would be able to fight from Gaochang to Liangzhou.

Speaking of which, after the Anshi Rebellion, the passage between the Western Regions and Guanzhong was blocked.

Since Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty, the separatist rule of feudal towns has taken shape, and the Central Plains has no extra strength to recapture Hexi and open up the Western Regions.

In the past hundreds of years in the Western Regions, there have been constant disputes, and the Tubo people took advantage of the Anshi Rebellion to plunder.

Later, when Tubo fell, the Uyghurs came, and the Uyghurs occupied Gaochang and Hexi.

Later, Xixia established the country and took Hexi from the Uighurs.

Now, the Uighurs have regained Hexi.

In this era, the Central Plains Dynasty was unable to take back Hexi, as if a huge inertia had been formed.

It also seems to have become the common sense of many forces.

Then Kyle looked at the gate of Liangzhou City, and then looked back at the army behind him. He thought that his time was coming.

At this time, the deputy general Valls came over and said: "General, the scouts found a soldier fifty miles to the east. It is the Song army, with about ten thousand soldiers."

Then Kyle said: "The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song army have been defeated by us. Now I don't know where to put together 1 people to prepare to fight with the defenders in the city. It's really naive!"

Li Ji walked over, and he said worriedly: "General, the reinforcements from the Song Army may be here, and they may be transferred from Xingzhou or Shaanxi. There are the elite of the Song Army, so don't take it lightly!"

"Elite?" Kyle was even more dismissive.

I'm the one who just rubbed tens of thousands of Song soldiers on the ground. Liangzhou city is surrounded, you tell me the elite?

"Vals, I'll give you 1 people, how about you go and defeat that Song army?"

Valls said confidently: "It's easy."

"How long will it take?"

"One hour is enough. We have already seen the Song army's battle, and we are vulnerable!" Vals said.

"Then besiege the city and fight for reinforcements." A sneer appeared on Kyle's face, "Destroy the Song army's reinforcements within an hour, but I want you to kill more Song troops, because I want to pile up a bunch of heads here, let Liang Look at the Song army in Zhoucheng, what will happen if you resist me!"

"As ordered!"

"By the way, have the people who went to Wangcheng to deliver the good news been sent out?"

"Don't worry, general, they have already been dispatched. Within ten days, Bileghan will receive our victory report." Valls said.

After speaking, Vals went down to lead the army.

About half an hour later, Liu Rui received another message.

"Director Liu, there is a group of Uighurs coming towards us."

Liu Rui asked: "How many people are here?"

"There are about ten thousand soldiers and horses here."

"Didn't you say that tens of thousands of Uighurs have come?" Liu Rui asked suspiciously, "Why are only [-] here now?"

"Sir, is there a possibility that the Uighurs think that [-] troops are enough to deal with us?" Wang Jiong said.

"Who do you know about this Uyghur?" Liu Rui asked.

Everyone was silent, or shook their heads.

The Song Dynasty had never fought against the Uighurs, and even the Song people's knowledge of the Western Regions was blank.

Liu Rui pondered for a moment, and suddenly said decisively: "Push up the artillery, and the cavalry are all ready, and the infantry is in formation. Although we don't know the Uighurs, but now that the Uighurs have come to fight, why don't I fight?" reason!"

"Order!"

The sound of the horn sounded in the open grassland, thick and majestic.

The Song army put on their armor quickly, the infantry formed formations with the infantry, and the cavalry lined up.

The artillery battalion is on the front line.

Ten thousand heavenly warriors lined up, their armor like solidified iron, their banners out of the sky.

"Report! The Song army is formed!"

Vals received the notification from the scouts, and he couldn't help laughing: "The Song army formed the formation quickly, just like last time. After forming the formation, it was easily broken by us. I have long heard that the Song army is weak and is no longer the same as before. Tang Zhisheng, now it seems that this is indeed the case!"

He immediately ordered the cavalry to go first, followed by mixed infantry and archers.

Gusts of wind came, mixed with the unique smell of mud and grass on the grassland, caressing the traces on the armor, as if singing the glory of the Song army.

After a while, Song Jun could hear the sound of roaring iron hooves.

A large figure appeared in front of him.

The Uighur cavalry rushed quickly from both sides, as if spreading two sharp wings on the grassland.

The scouts rushed over and shouted loudly: "Report! Director Liu, the Uighurs are coming!"

Zhou Ming, who joined the army, said: "Director Liu, should we let the infantry protect the formation first, and see how the Uighurs' tactics are?"

However, Liu Rui looked over and saw the figures of those cavalrymen, and immediately rushed forward with enthusiasm.

"Look at the fart! What kind of tactics can be used, no matter what tactics he has! Our army's cavalry is to charge and kill suddenly! Pass my order, and all cavalry will attack immediately!"

Zhou Ming was taken aback, and said, "Director Liu, don't be careless! We have never fought against the Uyghurs. There is a saying in the art of war..."

But Liu Rui interrupted him and said, "How did the cavalry of the Han army fight the cavalry of the Huns?"

"Han army?"

The cavalry of the Huns cavalry and the cavalry of the Han army will not play cavalry and archery with you. It is a sudden rush to rush over with a long spear.

There was a fatal problem with the Song Army and Dangxiang cavalry that Orihiko had previously mixed.

Dangxiang people also like to play riding and archery, but Han people do not ride and shoot.

This kind of mixed arrangement neither achieves the intensive harassment of riding and shooting, nor can it form the oppressive feeling of full charge.

However, Liu Rui's Tianwu army is all Han Chinese.

Most of the time, the cavalry corps, which is mainly composed of Han people, is actually very rough in tactics, that is, they wear iron armor and charge quickly.

Speaking of which, this cavalry tactic was invented by Wei Qing. Before Wei Qing, cavalry did not fight like this.

Before Zhou Ming came back to his senses, the charging horns of the Song cavalry had already sounded.

At the same time, the drums of war sounded.

There are [-] Tianwu cavalry on each side, wearing iron armor and holding long spears, advancing forward.

"Report! Song Army cavalry is also dispatched!"

Vals said disdainfully: "I thought the Song Army had some great tricks. It is exactly the same as before. Let alone an hour, I can completely defeat this Song Army in half an hour!"

PS: There were only two chapters yesterday. In fact, I think it is necessary to explain. For physical reasons, I went to the hospital early this morning.

Chapter 1153 Sudden Killing of the Uyghur Cavalry (Part [-])

When the distance between the two sides was still several hundred meters, the Uyghur cavalry had already begun to speed up. Although they had not yet reached the point of galloping at high speed, they had obviously accelerated.

They tried to quickly close the distance between the two sides.

The Song Army is still advancing at a normal walking speed.

When the distance between the two sides reached about 300 meters, the formation of the Uighurs began to evacuate slightly, which was to make room for close-range riding and shooting.

However, at this distance, the speed of the Tianwu cavalry increased significantly, from running to running at a fast pace.

After entering a distance of 200 meters, Song Jun's speed increased significantly and he began to charge.

The sound of iron hooves beating on the ground became faster, like dense iron rain hitting the ground, making a deafening roar.

Waves of wind and waves rushed in, rolling up the smell of mud and grass, mixed with the smell of war horses, accompanied by bursts of neighing.

The soldiers held long guns and roared one after another, their brains went blank, and the adrenaline in their bodies was soaring, and the specific manifestation was that their blood was tumbling.

When entering a distance of 100 meters, Song Jun's raid speed had reached its peak.

The interval between each ride is about ten to twenty meters, and fifteen hundred rides spread out, rolling over the grassland, splashing countless grass clippings and fine dust.

Its momentum is like thunder.

The Uighur cavalry faintly sensed something was wrong, but the huge impact on the battlefield had already blanked everyone's brains.

They instinctively raised the bows and arrows in their hands, and after a distance of 50 meters, they quickly drew the bows and shot arrows.

Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows flew in the sky, and at least more than 100 arrows pressed into the cavalry group of the Song Army.

The cavalry of the Song Army leaned over quickly to avoid being shot in the face.

An arrow impact was bounced off the iron armor.

An arrow hit the horse, and the horse wailed and fell to the ground, and the cavalry on it fell to their deaths.

The hit rate of riding and shooting is very low, not to mention that the Song army is still moving at a high speed.

The key to this level of riding and shooting strikes is not to kill the enemy, but to put pressure on the enemy from the psychological level.

Just think about it, when you were driving and saw a small stone hitting your glass from the front, how did you feel at that time?

Of course, there is a close call on the battlefield.

Uighurs can ride and shoot within 50 meters.

At this time, both sides have reached high speed, with a distance of 50 meters, at most three seconds, the two sides can confront each other head-on.

Therefore, the first arrow of the Uyghurs is a horse-riding shot of psychological blows, but the second arrow is different, focusing on shooting specific prey.

Specifically, shooting people in the face.

The effect of shooting war horses is relatively limited, because one arrow hit by a war horse may not fall to the ground immediately, unless several arrows are hit at once.

If an arrow fails to fall to the ground, it is equivalent to missing the opportunity.

After all, the decisive battle between life and death is an instant.

The second arrow in three seconds is not a big problem for this kind of nomad who has been hunting since childhood.

The Uighur's second arrow shot out easily.

However, as the distance gets closer, it is completely different for Song Jun who is holding a long gun.

It is true that a group of Song soldiers fell from their horses and fell to the ground in the middle of their faces, but in the instant duel, it was more likely that the pike stormtroopers rushed directly into the Uighur cavalry group.

The distance between the cavalry of the Song Army was ten to twenty meters. After entering this distance, it was really easy for cavalry armed with long spears to assassinate their opponents with long spears.

Many Uighur cavalrymen were stabbed in the chest by spears as soon as they shot their arrows, and they were picked off their horses.

It was even worse for the Uighurs who did not wear armor. A hole was pierced directly, and blood spattered everywhere.

Screams rang out.

Although the Song army's momentum has weakened, it is still rushing forward.

The spears in their hands were like the scythes of death. Wherever they passed, the Uighur cavalry fell to the ground one after another.

The tactics of riding and shooting were immediately crushed by this sudden attack tactics.

Whether it was the left or the right, the Uyghur cavalry were beaten to pieces.

In fact, the cavalry and shooting tactics have been attacked by Gao Wei, the sudden killing tactic of the Central Plains, as early as the Han Dynasty.

This is also the reason why as long as the Central Plains Dynasty has a large number of war horses, it can quickly open up the situation in the Western Regions.
