Chapter 1023

The cavalry dismounted to form a battle?

Li forgot to worry about being confused by the scene in front of him. His congested brain, which was ready to charge with blood, soon calmed down.

Immediately, he thought of the battle of the Tang Dynasty against Xue yantuo in history.

In the 15th year of Zhenguan, Li Er ordered Li Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of war, to lead 150000 troops to Mobei.

In order not to delay the fighters, Li Ji led 6000 Tang cavalry and Turkic cavalry to chase Xue yantuo's army to nuozhen water, where the nuozhen water war broke out.

As a result, 200000 Xue yantuo cavalry, like taking the wrong script, dismounted and formed an array on the Mongolian grassland, regarded themselves as infantry and fought against 6000 Tang cavalry.

Xue yantuo got off his horse and was beaten by 6000 Tang cavalry. He was defeated like a mountain. More than 3000 heads were beheaded and 50000 were captured. The rest fled to Mobei. It snowed heavily on the road, and Xue yantuo's people and animals were frozen.

In the last 200000 troops, only more than 20000 people fled back.

This war has also made Li Ji's great achievements.

When Li forgot to worry about reading history books, he felt that Xue yantuo's brain must have been kicked by a donkey.

How stupid is it that the cavalry of the nomadic people in the grassland dismounted and formed an array when fighting and turned the cavalry into infantry?

But Xue yantuo's dismounted cavalry array is the traditional battle array of Xue yantuo's Khanate.

At the beginning, East Turkistan was very powerful, with excessive collection and excessive taxation, which made tiele people miserable.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Yi men led their troops to resist the Turks by force.

Jieli Khan sent troops to suppress the tiele people, but unexpectedly, the Turkic cavalry were defeated by the tiele people and returned. It was precisely because the Yi man defeated the Turks and his prestige soared. The ministries of tiele recommended the Yi man as a Khan and established the xueyantuo Khanate.

The way for tiele people to defeat Turkic cavalry is to dismount the cavalry array!

"All defeated by disciples, but they didn't even ride. They led five people together. One horse and four front fights. The order said: if you win, ride and drive. If you lose, you won't have a home to pay for the soldiers."

Xue yantuo's combat method is that when fighting, five people form a group, one of them is responsible for managing five horses, and the other four are in formation on foot.

If you win, you will pursue on horseback, and if you lose, you will retreat on horseback.

For the Xue yantuo cavalry, horses were only means of transportation, not combat strength.

This is a wonderful work for grassland people.

However, this dismounted cavalry array defeated the soaring Turkic cavalry. Xue yantuo is a cavalry of both East Turks and West Turks. He will win every battle, which makes Xue yantuo people superstitious about dismounting cavalry array.

It was not until the 15th year of Zhenguan that Xue yantuo's dismounted cavalry array was educated by the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty that this wonderful tactic disappeared.

After recalling the history of the Tang Dynasty, Li forget you immediately understood why those Xue yantuo cavalry had to dismount to form an array, while ah die and other tiele people dismounted as well.

Isn't this fucking brain sick?

You know, cavalry is the most invincible army in the cold weapon era.

It's crazy to jump off a horse and become an infantry instead of a cavalry with a fighting capacity of 100.

He immediately jumped out of the sand boat, grabbed ah Zhe and shouted, "taro, wait! Don't fight like this! This is death! Get on the horse quickly, I can beat them!"

Ah die and others are ready to charge. He has been almost irrational by the flame of revenge. How can he listen to Li forgetful.

"Li forget you, let go!" ah Xie took Li forget you aside and explained: "we tiele people have been fighting like this! The horse war can't break the battle array at all. Hey hey, the Turks were defeated by us tiele people like this."

"Listen to me, Dalang! If you rush over like this, it's pure death!"

"Today we don't intend to go back alive, either they die or we die! We Hult men are not afraid of death!" ah die didn't listen to him at all.

Li forgot's worried face turned red. He simply opened his hands and stopped ah in front of him.

"Shit! People are dead. Who will avenge Yaro? Dalang, do you believe me? Listen to me, I promise we can defeat them! If you don't listen to me, step on me!"

He roared out, but it made ah die slightly stunned. He looked at each other with a group of tieler people, and didn't know how to answer.

They tiele people are not afraid of death, but more than 200 people in the tribe were slaughtered. Of course, they want to avenge their blood. If they don't care to work hard with each other, they will die, but they won't be willing to let their enemies leave at ease.

Li forgets worry, the Tang man who was "picked up" by them from the grassland, although he is thin and weak, his skill makes everyone marvel.

Whether it's a sand boat that can run without animal power or boiling salt in the water, ah die and others are amazed. Even many people treat Li forget you as a God.

A zhe hesitated, bit his teeth and asked, "Li forgets worry. What can you do to defeat those bastards?"

Li forgot to worry, his eyes flashed, pointed to the horse behind the people, and spit out two words: "ride and shoot!"

"Riding and shooting?" ah die didn't understand what Li forgot to worry about.

"Yes, it's riding and shooting!" Li forgot to worry and nodded confidently.

In his opinion, it is completely putting the cart before the horse for cavalry like Xue yantuo to get off his horse and form an array. No wonder Xue yantuo's Khanate was beaten down by the Tang army before long.

The Turks are weak chickens. They can't even break the dismounted cavalry array of the tiele people. It's a joke. No wonder the Turks will be driven to the west by the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li forgot to worry about not having experienced battle, let alone being a soldier, as a puppet army fan of later generations, he also knew that the most powerful cavalry in history was the Mongolian cavalry in the Genghis Khan era.

The tactics of Mongolian cavalry are divided into Mongolian light cavalry and Mongolian heavy cavalry.

The Mongolian light cavalry, famous for its good riding and shooting, can be called an infantry nightmare.

Take a hundred people as a burst, walk outside the infantry array, and constantly shoot arrows to kill the infantry in the array. Before the two armies fight, Mongolian light cavalry can shoot and kill the enemy at a long distance, resulting in chaos.

With the Mongolian heavy cavalry, they will quickly attack and defeat the enemy with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Relying on such tactics, Mongolian cavalry conquered two-thirds of the land of Eurasia with a small population of less than two million.

In Li's opinion, the tiele people of Hult tribe are also good at riding and shooting, but they don't find the right tactics.

Both sides said that the five or six hundred meter Xue yantuo soldiers opposite seemed to have been impatient and began to slowly advance towards them in the sound of drums.

Li forgets worry and knows that he can't hesitate at this time, otherwise there will be only one way to destroy the whole army.

"Dalang, don't talk any more! Tell them and listen to me! Now everyone gets on the horse and follows my sand boat!"

After Li forgets you, he runs back to the sand boat, and ah Yi hesitates. Finally, he grits his teeth and yells to the tiele people next to him. Everyone obeys Li forgets you's order and turns over and gets on the horse again
