If you say that artillery completely changed the war rules of Song, Jin and Xia, it was also exaggerating.

Although the tiger squat cannon is very powerful, it is a solid bullet.

A solid bullet is an iron ball.

If you shoot it out in one shot, it will not explode when hit on the opposite side.

Therefore, the range of killing is extremely limited.

Moreover, due to the accuracy problem, the range of killing has been further reduced, as low as that of the 21st century, people who see it want to turn over the table: This is impossible! It is obviously the author too much! I am invincible in the world of Song Dynasty!

Just say that when the frontal bombardment was so close, there were no more than 30 cavalrymen who were directly killed.

It has more of a significant impact on the formation of the cavalry.

You should know that cavalry also requires group actions on the battlefield to maintain economies of scale and cause effective damage.

The most important thing in group actions is order. Once the order is disrupted, let alone attack the other party, consider protecting yourself first.

This was the case with the Jin army at this time.

The Guiller Horse originally planned to roam back and forth within fifty meters with its high mobility, and harass the Song army with bows and arrows and crossbows.

After all, the hit rate of objects in motion has been reduced, and the kidnapped horse has iron armor defense.

As long as it can continue to harass the Song army, it will make the Song army exhausted.

But the Jin army did not expect that the Song army directly used such a terrifying weapon.

After dozens of war horses were damaged on the spot, the Jin army, which was in chaos, had panic.

They came in a fierce manner and retreated in a mess.

Tens of meters away, the Jin soldiers who died tragically were covered in blood and their horses fell to the ground and whineeded weakly.

There were soldiers lying in a pool of blood and shouting miserably: "Save me..."

No one pays attention to them, their own people are in a hurry to retreat, and the enemy is even more unlikely to provide assistance to them.

The Jin army's harassing tactics failed.

After being shocked, the other Jin army officers were also surprised.

After the defeated army in front withdrew, he asked, "What the hell is going on?"

But no one answered his question. Many people didn't know what was going on ahead at all, but they knew that there was a loud noise and the team ahead was in chaos.

In the chaos, more people follow the people ahead and then retreat.

The Balihai was already dead. After asking for a long time, it was clear that the Song army had developed a new weapon, which was extremely powerful.

This made the conversion a little confused.

He followed Jin Wushu to fight south and north, and he had seen the big scenes countless times.

For him, the kidnapped horse raided the infantry, which was the most skillful tactic of trading.

As long as the opponent has no cavalry, the kidnapper can exhaust the infantry through repeated harassment and cause the enemy's morale to collapse.

But this is the first time today when I was beaten back after a meeting.

The damage is not big, but the most terrifying thing is to notice the fear of these people.

The attack on the Song army was temporarily stopped and all Meng'an and Mouke immediately convened to discuss.

There are two types of opinions on the scene.

One is that although the new weapon of the Song army is powerful, the range of killing is limited. It only needs to expand the charge interval of the war horses and pay attention to formation, so the problem is not particularly big.

Another type of person believes that if the Song army can come up with new weapons, there must be other new weapons. This is very dangerous. We were sent by Marshal Zuo to test it. There is no need to fight the Song army here and clean up one by one when the large army comes.

The two sides were unable to reach a unified consensus for a while, and they were unwilling to withdraw their troops just now.

After all, there are only three thousand cavalrymen, while the opponent only has two thousand infantrymen.

After resting for one night, the next day, the second round of attack began.

This second round of offense, tactics and numbers have been adjusted.

First of all, tactics.

The distance between the crooked horse and the crooked horse was fifteen meters wide, and even thirty meters to forty meters.

In terms of the number of people, two thousand cavalry were dispatched directly.

And they were only lined up in rows, pulling out two long lines and rushing towards the Song army round formation in front.

Based on the principle of not gathering and less conversation, the Jin army began its second attack.

During the second attack, the attack surface caused by the Song army's artillery was indeed much lower.

After approaching the Song army, the two lines of the Jin army began to slowly turn into arcs, surrounding the Song army's circular formation.

When the distance was closer to within fifty meters, both sides began to shoot densely with bows and crossbows.

After shooting, the crooked horse circled around to avoid the rain of arrows from the Song army.

The two sides started such a confrontation in this area.

The Jin army also sent some cavalry to charge nearby from time to time to intimidate the Song army.

The Song army's artillery also shot into the herd of crooked horses from time to time. Even if some war horses were not shot, they would cause local panic.

The two sides confronted each other like this, and the confrontation lasted for several days.

In such cases, infantry are prone to fatigue.

You can only sleep wherever you are, or even when you are sleeping, you must sleep in a different way, fearing that the enemy will attack you.

Just imagine, if you just stand there for half an hour, you will be very tired.

Not to mention standing there wearing armor all day, I finally had to rest for a while at night, but I had to stand again the next day.

When a person is tired, it is difficult to maintain strong energy unless he lies down and rests well.

This is the standard tactics of ancient cavalry against infantry formations.

When the infantry were tired, the cavalry began to tentatively impact the front. Once the infantry defense was found to be weaker, the chief general immediately launched a large-scale cavalry frontal attack.

Don’t you know these generals like Guo Hao who have followed Wu Jie through many battles?

Of course he knows!

Not only did he know that the Song army is tired now, he also knew that the Jin army was addicted.

In the process of constantly fatigued Song army, we saw hope of victory.

Guo Hao collected the information he had just sent, and a smile appeared on his face.

He looked back at the three thousand cavalry that had already assembled and said, "Go!"

On July 20, on the fifth day of the attack on the Song army's infantry, the cavalry of the whole line launched a frontal attack on the Song army.

This frontal attack directly tore a hole, and it was the spearmen who stopped the cavalry from behind and then the danger was saved.

Both sides lost a group of people.

"General, do you want to increase your troops?" Meng An said with a grave. "Now the Song army is exhausted and almost broke away from their defense just now."

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, at most two days. After two days, launch a fierce attack and the Song army will be defeated!"

On the evening of July 20th, Guo Hao's cavalry marched for 100 miles in one day and completed a difficult detour south of Yinshan.

But at this time he was still eighty miles away from the battlefield.

After a brief stop, Guo Hao continued to travel overnight.

Early in the morning of July 21, the Song cavalry, who were traveling starry night, arrived at the rear of the Jin army without knowing it.

It completely cut off the Jin army's retreat.
Chapter completed!
