Chapter 54 Ambush Chuzhou reinforcements (for collection)
Because when he was in Xinghua City, Xiao Qi discussed the ambush and the possible situation of attacking Chuzhou more than once with several capable men.
Not to mention, although Xiao Qi in the previous life was just a college student who liked to dabble in everything, but was not good at anything.
But this kind of common problem of college students in the previous life has helped him a lot in this era. This thing Xiao Qi called Bingtui has made his confidantes feel like a treasure.
They played the role of the Jin Army and the Song Army together, and performed their fantastic ideas on the battlefield drawn by Xiao Qi for three days.
Several waves of people switched roles several times during the period, and finally Xiao Qi chose the most effective way to kill the enemy on his side, and the most effective method to prevent the Jin army from counterattacking effectively.
Because almost all the important generals who led the troops under Xiao Qi participated in this military push, and they already knew that the outcome of this battle was most beneficial to the Song army.
Therefore, these generals were full of confidence. The performance of these confident generals further inspired the soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Battalion who originally felt that they would win every battle.
This brave army was trained by Xiao Qi himself, plus this time they followed Xiao Qi to fight an ambush, they never thought that the opponent's number would be much larger than theirs.
They only know that they have never lost a war with their General Ning Yuan!
These soldiers are all screaming and preparing to test themselves in this battle. This little general, who is privately called the God of War by all his comrades, will teach them their battle formation and martial arts, and how much merit they can gain in this battle. .
However, after they passed Xiao Qi's strict military training according to the vague understanding of the disciplined army in the previous life, this brave army can definitely be regarded as a model of order and prohibition.
According to the plan made before, each ministry quickly came to the ambush area that they had planned in advance to hide.
Xiao Qi also sent scouts who had nowhere to investigate, and rode on horseback several times on the official road simulating coming from the direction of the Jin army, until there was no trace of flaws except for the spear battalion ambushing in the grass.
Only then did he rest assured to wait for the news from the sent out scouts.
It was not until more than two hours later that the first wave of scouts rushed back and reported that reinforcements had indeed been sent from the direction of Chuzhou. They were heading towards Chuzhou along the official road and were now a hundred miles away.
Xiao Qi finally felt relieved. This time he finally made the right bet. Regarding the fact that there were high-ranking officials in the Southern Song Dynasty who had private connections with the Kingdom of Jin, these were only recorded in various unofficial histories of previous lives.
The official history is all vague, or just brushes it off. After all, there is no definite evidence for this matter. The most official history can say is that someone paid a lot of money to bribe a certain important official in the Southern Song Dynasty to make remarks that were beneficial to him.
However, Xiao Qi still prefers to believe that there were ministers collaborating with the enemy in the Southern Song Dynasty, because being bribed to speak for him is actually a manifestation of being instigated.
Not long after, definite news came from the second wave of scouts. There were more than [-] Jin soldiers from Chuzhou, including four battalions with more than [-] cavalry.
There are 5000 infantry troops in two armies, plus a battalion of more than [-] cavalry troops beside the general, making a total of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. There are also more than [-] infantry [-] miles behind, escorting more than [-] The cart's baggage followed.
When Xiao Qi learned that the opponent actually had two thousand cavalry troops, he couldn't help worrying about the spear battalion of more than 1000 people who were used as bait, worried that they would not be able to withstand too much loss.
Lin Zheng, who was leading the team, sent someone to inquire. Lin Zheng replied and told Xiao Qi that their side could definitely withstand the impact of two thousand cavalry troops for more than half an hour.
Because each battalion of the current spear battalion has a hundred tower shieldmen. These tower shieldmen can not help but help the spear battalion hold the shield to block the impact when the cavalry rushes into formation. When stepping outside, shoot arrows to injure the enemy.
Lin Zheng has such self-confidence because the hundreds of 1.5-meter-high tower shields that Xiao Qi asked those carpenters to build are not only thick and strong, but he also made improvements to the tower shields.
Xiao Qi asked the carpenters to install a strong crossbar more than one meter above the tower shield. The crossbars were one foot apart on the left and right, and two support beams more than one meter long that could be folded and unfolded.
When the two braces are expanded to their maximum, the tower shield and the braces can form a ninety-degree support angle.
In this way, the tower shield faces the enemy cavalry with a [-]-degree slope, and the two stays of each tower shield support the tower shield at [-] degrees behind.
When the enemy cavalry has not arrived, the tower shield soldiers can not only let go and concentrate on hiding behind the tower shield and attack the enemy cavalry with bows and arrows, but when the enemy cavalry rushes in, they can also hide behind the tower shield and stabilize the tower shield with all their strength.
When the tower shield was first made, the army specially found strong soldiers, hid behind the tower shield to stabilize the tower shield with all their strength, and let more than ten soldiers hit the tower shield with thick wooden stakes.
It took five or six consecutive hits to break or destroy a tower shield.
This kind of force is equivalent to the enemy cavalry striking the tower shield with all its strength five or six times without fear of death, and it has to be sprinted and hit with all its strength.
Everyone estimates that unless there is a spacious and flat field on the battlefield that allows the enemy cavalry to charge from a distance, it will be difficult for them to have that kind of impact.
Moreover, the enemy cavalry will never have the opportunity to attack the tower shield five times in a row. With at most two waves of such impact, the cavalry behind will slow down because the cavalry in front is blocked, or even be completely stopped.
Coupled with the fact that there are still five tripping ropes in front of the tower shield this time, Lin Zheng told Xiao Qi: "The general only needs to kill the enemy, and my spear battalion can stop the enemy's cavalry for half an hour at the shortest!"
This answer made Xiao Qi completely relieved. In half an hour and an hour, if his more than 1000 elite cavalry cannot defeat the [-] infantry and the enemy cavalry in that battalion, let alone those spears. Army, even the heroic army he brought had to be defeated.
The few waves of scouts that were scattered all came back soon, which also meant that the Jin army was about to arrive at the ambush site.
Sure enough, less than half an hour after the last wave of scouts came back, the [-] vanguard cavalry of the Jin Army appeared on the official road.
Soon those people found the Spear Army hiding in the grass, and following the report of the Golden Army sent back, the brigade of Golden Army cavalry came.
When Xiao Qi saw that these Jin men were really arrogant, they actually had four cavalry camps with [-] cavalry all arriving.
Then came the panting [-] infantry and the [-] cavalry soldiers led by the general.
The lord general looked at it on his horse, and the spear army hidden in the weeds two miles away from the official road couldn't help laughing.
Order loudly, and order the four battalions of cavalry to kill those foolish Song soldiers!
Amidst the wild laughter of the five thousand infantry, the Jin army of the four battalions also laughed wildly and jumped off the official road on their horses, rushing towards the Song army who was not very strict covered by the weeds.
At this time, Lin Zheng suddenly shouted: "Array!"
I saw those tower shield soldiers carrying tower shields, and three layers of tower shields were densely arranged in front of them. Behind each tower shield were two spearmen, who put their spears in the grooves on both sides of the tower shield.
The general of the Jin army riding on the horse frowned when he saw this. These Song soldiers are well-trained, and they are not as useless as he thought at first!
However, seeing that the number of the Song army was not as large as that of his own cavalry, he felt relieved and ordered the cavalry to rush into the formation with all their strength and fight quickly.
As a result, as soon as the more than 1000 cavalrymen of the Golden Army raised their horse speed, they saw a row of more than a hundred cavalry rushing in front suddenly turned their backs and fell into the weeds in front of them.
Just when they realized that there was a stumbling rope in the grass, the Jin Army cavalry that had already charged behind them had already passed the stumbling rope.
Although those tripping ropes were firmly nailed, hundreds of horsemen rushed up quickly. Although all the hundreds of golden soldiers were turned on their backs, the tripping ropes were also destroyed.
The Jin army behind them rushed through the stumbling rope, because many of their fallen comrades in front were trampled to death by their horses that they had no time to dodge.
These Jin soldiers were furious immediately, and even more violently whipped their horses, trying to rush up and trample the Song soldiers to death.
As a result, as soon as the horse speed was raised again, another wave of more than a hundred golden soldiers fell from their horses and were trampled by the golden soldiers behind.
At this time, the battalion commanders of the Golden Cavalry Army understood that there was more than one tripping rope in front of them, and they were about to order their horses to rein in and turn around.
The Song army on the opposite side suddenly shot a wave of arrows, and the commander of the Jin army, who had rushed to the effective range of the Song army, understood that if he reined in his horse and turned around at this time, he would be a living target for the Song army.
The best way is to rush to Song Jun as soon as possible and kill these Song Jun.
They shouted at their subordinates and charged forward again, because the best way was to rush through the continuous rain of arrows at the speed of their horses and rush to the front of Song Jun to kill them.
