After a while, you can hear the roar of mountains and tsunami.
It was deliberately released by the Jin army, one was to boost their momentum, and the other was to deter the Song army.
Just think about it, seven or eight thousand strong men riding war horses, yelling on the plain, the aura is very terrifying.
Ordinary people are afraid that their legs will go weak from fright, and they will be at a loss.
The Jin Army's voice was getting closer, and the scouts from each battalion of the Song Army had begun to pass on information intensively.
By the time Jin Jun appeared four miles away, the black line was already very clear.
After a while, Song Jun standing on the front line could already see the outline of the opponent's horse clearly.
After closing the distance, the kidnapping horse's formation began to change.
Thousands of kidnappers were divided into four teams.
Two of them quickly stretched forward.
That's right, stretch it.
On the dry and yellow plain, like two scimitars, stretched towards the flanking formation of the Song Army.
This is obviously not intended to attack the Song Army head-on, otherwise such a formation would not have been formed.
Those who are familiar with the Kidnapper Horse know that this is a raid formation, which is convenient for the cavalry in front to have enough space to go round and round after shooting without messing up.
Sure enough, after the two kidnapped horses advanced diagonally and quickly, the cavalry had already begun to prepare their bows and arrows.
And this time the Jinren prepared not ordinary arrows, but heavy arrows capable of piercing armor.
Although this kind of arrow has higher requirements for the archer, it is enough to cause a certain degree of damage to armored infantry at close range.
"Come on!" Meng'an, who was leading the charge, was called Xiao Bu. He was a Khitan, and he was even better at archery than the Jurchens.
It is definitely a reward for Jin Wushu to let someone like him play forward.
Especially the harassment from cavalry and shooting, there is no other reason, just the special arrows equipped with enough special arrows are enough for his people to quickly make the first move.
"Let these Song dogs taste our power!" Xiao Bu roared again.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The cavalry of the Golden Army around shouted loudly, and their momentum soared. Each of them was agile and skilled in riding.
The tactical goal they received was to quickly hit the Song Army's flanks and defeat the Song Army soldiers with heavy arrows. The other two kidnappers seized the opportunity to attack the frustrated Song Army head-on, making the Song Army's defense loose.
After that, the kidnapper horse continued to harass and exhaust the Song army.
Once there is another flaw, Tiefutu will follow up and cooperate with the armored infantry at the same time.
This three-piece suit is the trump card of the Jin people. It is this kind of tactic that destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and later beat the Song army to the ground.
Jinren can be said to have applied this tactic to the extreme.
Jin Jun has enough confidence this time.
They shouted loudly, arousing their blood.
However, when their cavalry team rushed within about 1000 meters from the Song Army, there was a sudden burst of roaring in front.
An iron ball the size of a thumb gently cut the skin of the horse's front thigh, splashing a string of blood beads.
The war horse didn't even have time to eat the pain, and countless dense iron beads followed one after another, rushing like a torrential rain.
Those iron beads impacted on the horse, splashing countless blood in an instant.
The impact on the cavalry's iron armor made a sharp sound, and there was no pain perception at this moment.
But it is obvious that the body is being pushed back by a powerful force.
Immediately, before the cavalry had any time to react, they turned over and fell off their horses, and together with the horses, they rolled on the ground a few times.
The Jin army behind also had no time to react, and fell off the horse amidst the wailing of the horses, just like the previous ones.
The frightening thing is that not one or two, nor a dozen, but a group of cavalry collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye and fell to the ground.
What's even more frightening is that in just a few seconds, Jin Jun still couldn't respond to what happened.
The horses are still rushing forward instinctively, and the cavalry's brains are still processing the information just now to continue moving forward, and the distance between the two sides is rapidly closing.
More cannons have already struck, and they form a dense wave-shaped impact, or in other words, it is more like a sharp knife sweeping across, and another piece fell.
The problem is, at this distance, the kidnapping horse has not really started to charge, and the speed is still very slow.
If the kidnapper horse starts charging at full speed at this distance, it will take about 57 seconds to rush to the front of Song Jun.
In 57 seconds, with the current number of artillery pieces of the Song army, cross-fire bombardment took turns, even if they did not hesitate to blow up the guns, I am afraid that at least half of these kidnappers will confess here.
When more than seventy riders fell off their horses, Jin Jun realized that they immediately chose a detour.
Those who hadn't followed up immediately chose to make a detour.
If it weren't for their slender wing-like formation, they wouldn't be able to turn around quickly, and more people would die.
After more than seventy riders fell to their deaths, the kidnapper horse ran away in panic and panic, and withdrew from the range of the Song army's vitality.
There were more than 4000 cavalry in total, and more than 200 cavalry were dead before they started.
In the past era, if you want to kill more than 200 kidnapped horses, it depends on the occasion.
If there are more than 200 riders alone, your own troops are sufficient, and you can fight for a while to kill the opponent.
After all, more than 200 riders have been able to cooperate with each other to form a terrifying impact, even fighting and assaulting.
But just now?
The more than 200 cavalry were killed just now, and almost no soldiers of the Song Army were dispatched. The time was so short that it almost exceeded the cognition of people of this era.
This is enough to cause a cognitively devastating blow to Jin Ren.
Of course, it is not a universal tactical principle to kill so many cavalry in such a short period of time.
What is the principle of universal tactics?
As the name suggests, it can be reproduced at any time.
For example, kidnappers harass the flanks and defeat the enemy's formation from the side. This tactic can be replicated.
The condition is to train the cavalry tactics well, dispatch a corresponding number of cavalry, find the weak points of the enemy's flanks, and constantly and repeatedly harass.
This reproducible tactic means that it can be expanded in the army and trained to form a large army.
The generals look at the charge, and the marshals may pay more attention to the reproducibility of tactics and the effect of scale, which is the principle of universal tactics.
And the reason why the killing of kidnappers just now is a non-universal tactical principle is because the Song Army is the passive side.
It was the kidnapper who approached the Song army on his own initiative, and the Song army killed him.
When the kidnapper horse is not close to the Song army, the Song army cannot use this tactic to complete the kill.
The initiative of whether the kidnapper horse is close to Song Jun is not in the hands of Song Jun.
That is to say, the general of the Song army could not take the initiative to use this tactic, so it could not be reproduced.
Chapter 1453 The will of the Golden Wushu (first update)
The other two gangs of kidnappers were preparing to charge into battle after the first two gangs harassed them.
They were already ready to go, and began to wave his weapons, ready to tear apart the Song Army's formation at any time.
However, he suddenly heard roaring in front of him, and then saw his friendly army fall from a horse more than 200 meters away.
What's more, the horses fell into pieces in pieces, the scene was really weird.
The dust was still flying, more and more, but the two forwards of the kidnapper horse seemed to have encountered an indescribable force and were forced to change direction.
"What happened just now?" Xiao Bu roared out in horror.
The cavalrymen of the Golden Army around were still in shock and were still stabilizing their horses, but no one answered his words.
Xiao Bu reined in the reins with all his strength, and looked towards the Song army formation ahead.
It's just that the dust covered his vision and he couldn't see clearly.
Even if there is no dust, it is not easy to see the Song army formation clearly at this distance.
Xiao Bu didn't really want to see what was there, but estimated the distance from the attack just now to the Song Army's formation.
The distance was at least a mile. How did the Song army manage to kill its own soldiers and horses from such a long distance?
Under Xiao Bu's angry appearance was a fearful heart.
He drove his horse to one of his subordinates and asked, "Did you see the situation clearly just now?"
The cavalryman was also in shock, and replied: "I didn't see it clearly either. I only saw that all the people in front fell off their horses, so they began to retreat in a roundabout way."
He asked other people, and the others also said they didn't see anything.
At the end of the question, a person said, "Sir, my horse is injured, here it is."
He got off his horse and pointed to the upper thigh of the horse.
The war horse whined, and the wounded place was still bleeding.
Xiao Bu walked over to take a closer look, and there was a bloody mess there.
He got off his horse and walked to the horse to look carefully.
The wound seemed to be cut quickly by many sharp knives, but the cut was not deep.
On the blurred flesh and blood, he suddenly saw an irregular thing like a small stone.
"Hold its rein!" Xiao Bu confessed, and reached out to get the "little stone.
The war horse neighed twice, but did not make any major movements.
Xiao Bu took down a "cannonball" the size of a thumb, stared at it with wide eyes, and rubbed the blood on it with his hands.
The iron bead quickly revealed its original appearance.
It's not so much an iron ball, it's better to say it's a broken iron block, with sharp edges and corners.
"Is this the thing that killed our people?" Xiao Bu was shocked, isn't this something used in the iron cannon?
The iron cannon is actually similar to the thunder that shakes the sky, and the Jin people called it the iron cannon.
In the first, second, and third battles between Song and Jin, the Jin army used iron artillery to attack the city.
Put the iron cannon on the trebuchet, ignite the fuse, run out, and explode, and the broken iron pieces inside will come out and injure the enemy.
The iron cannon was not invented by the Jin people, but by the Liao people.
Xiao Bu is a Khitan nobleman, he is very familiar with iron artillery.
He stared at the Song army formation in the distance again, his brain sank into a blank, and he couldn't even hear the thundering drums from the rear army formation.
What did the Song army use to send these pieces of iron one mile away and wound our cavalry?
Could it be artillery?
Xiao Bu didn't hesitate, he felt that it was not a question of charging now, but to report this to the military report.
"Xiao Liwei!"
"The end is here!"
"You are here to command, I want to go back."
"You want to go back? Where?" Xiao Liwei couldn't help asking.
"Go to see the king of Wei." Xiao Bu ordered, "Don't charge rashly, the army stays here first, if the enemy comes, then fight back, fight around, and don't come within two miles of the Song army's formation!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Bu took a few personal guards and walked all the way back.
Before reaching the main camp, he was stopped, his waist badge was displayed, and he was checked and questioned before he went to see the commander of the Chinese army. Before meeting the commander, everyone took off their weapons and armor.
And passed the word through layers, first to Shi Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and then to Jin Wushu's ears.
"Xiao Bu?" Wu Shu heard the words and said, "Isn't he the Meng An of the right-wing cavalry this time? He should be on the battlefield now! He dares to come back! This is cowardice in front of the battle, and it is a death penalty!"
"Your Highness, Xiao Bu is a good fighter. His behavior is abnormal. Something must happen. Ask him clearly first." Han Qixian said.
Although Han Qixian said so, he also felt something bad in his heart.
"Go and wait for Xiao Bu to come over." Wu Shu said to Han Qixian.
