Chapter 16 The Value of Famous Generals

The current situation is responding to a sentence.

Victory is for those who are prepared.

In order to win the Turks, we won the final victory.

Both Li Shimin in the court and Luo Shixin on the front line have paid a lot. Now is the time for them to recycle the results.

"shoot!"

Su Dingfang was also holding a horned crossbow in his hand, pulling the bow and raising the strings with force, installing crossbow arrows, and doing his best...

Although he is good at using bows and arrows, he has to admit that he is in the shooting range. Compared with bows and arrows, crossbow arrows have innate advantages.

There are four types of crossbows that are popular in the Tang Dynasty army: the familiar one is naturally the Fuyuan crossbow. In addition to the Fuyuan crossbow, there are also the broken crossbow, the horn crossbow, and the single crossbow.

As the times are progressing, the same is true for technology. The improvement of powerful crossbows in the Han Dynasty and the powerful crossbows in the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty also inherited the technology of their predecessors and improved them to become a powerful weapon to kill enemies on the battlefield. Fuyuan Crossbow and Bozhang Crossbow are powerful crossbows used by crossbowmen. Fuyuan Crossbow has the strongest power and requires both hands to pull the string before it can be turned on, and the second most powerful arm cannot be pulled. Bozhang Crossbow does not require foot pedal, but it also requires both hands to pull the strings to shoot vigorously.

Although these two types of crossbows are powerful, they cannot be used in horse battles.

The horned crossbow is an improved arm-opening crossbow used by crossbow cavalry during the Qin and Han dynasties. It has a long range and is powerful, and is most suitable for horse combat.

The existence of arm-opening crossbows was also used for cavalry. The Tang Dynasty absorbed the combat methods of Turkic cavalry: Turkic cavalry was skillful in bows and horses. Before they fought with the enemy, they would often shoot arrows first in a place of arrows to disrupt the enemy's formation. Then they covered the killing and achieved a chance of victory. After all, the farming people were not as good as nomadic people in this regard. It was already very good to be able to train a cavalry with excellent riding skills. It was really difficult for them to master the riding and shooting skills.

So there is a different riding and shooting. A strong crossbow is replaced by a strong crossbow. Although the strong crossbow is complex in structure and complicated in production, it is extremely simple to learn and use and does not take too much time and effort.

In the Tang Dynasty, a cavalry team often had 10% of the cavalry equipped with strong crossbows and rushed to the front line, using strong crossbows to gain combat advantages first.

But it was the first time that Ruo Shixin gathered all the powerful crossbows and formed a crossbow cavalry.

Luo Shixin is specially trained in anti-kite fighting techniques based on the grassland people's kite tactics.

It was also because of this that Umo was caught off guard and had no way to deal with it.

"Yes, that's it! Retreat, see if you don't! We just treat it as walking the dog and stalking... I would rather shoot one less arrow than let them catch up!" Su Dingfang controlled the distance between the two sides. He used the tactical style of flying kites to the extreme, constantly consuming Wumo's troops with the advantage of crossbow arrow distance.

Wu Mo looked at the soldiers beside him, shot and killed the crossbow arrows bit by bit, and fell off the horse's back. He wanted to die. He never thought that he would fall under the tactics he had best for most of his life.

Facing this, he used almost a thousand times to play, and he felt helpless.

He knew this tactic too well, because of the distance advantage. The side being beaten will always be in a passive situation.

Don't underestimate the distance between the arrows they are separated by, the distance between hundreds of steps. This distance is not long or short. While chasing, the opposite side keeps running again, and arrow feathers will fly to limit their speed from time to time. Under the same circumstances, it will take a long time for the chaser to cross the distance between these hundred steps. Often, when you catch up, your soldiers will be consumed almost the same.

What made Umo most unacceptable was that the opponent's command performance was excellent, and the seat distance was blocked very well. The always-holder led them to slip away, neither fast nor slow. If he chased him quickly, the opponent would run fast. If he reduced his speed, the opponent's speed would also decrease, and the person maintained the most effective range of the crossbow arrow from beginning to end.

This made Umo a little discouraged.

His ancestors have specially studied how to ride and shoot, and how to walk the best and how to walk the most effectively. They have ulterior motives.

Wumo remembered that when he was studying, he was in a mess. It was not until several years later that he gradually understood it. It has been more than thirty years of today, like a finger arm. But the young man on the opposite side was at most thirty years old, but he was appropriate and did not make any mistakes when commanding.

Even if he tried every means, he could not get close to him or get rid of him.

Even if it was the enemy, Umo had to admit that the other party was young and capable: even one of Luo Shixin's subordinates was so good, and it is conceivable that Luo Shixin's power was amazing.

At this point, Wu Mo felt that if they had offended the Turks, they would be over if they could not afford to offend people.

Seeing that Wu Mo could not catch up, he continued to lose his personnel. During this pursuit, they did not hurt the Tang army, but lost more than 1,800 people. If this continues, they will have to waste all their paths.

Seeing another round of crossbow arrows shooting, forty or fifty people rolled on the ground, and finally couldn't hold on. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Retreat!"

He saw that the Turkic soldiers of the Ukrainian tribe were all relieved. They used to be so slipping away their enemies, watching their enemies chasing behind their butts eating ash and arrow feathers, which made them feel particularly good. But now they have been saying that they have been in the east and the west for thirty years. The ones who eat ash and feathers have become them, and they can't even cry. The high morale has long been thrown to grandma's house.

The Turkic soldiers changed their itinerary with magical skills: they turned a small circle to the right rear in place, and directly used the speed of forward rushing to detour the small circle. The remaining more than 6,000 Turkic soldiers completed the difficult task of retreating at the high speed.

Su Dingfang, who had been watching the Turkic movements, was amazed at this. In their army, they could turn around so cleanly and neatly. Apart from Luo Shixin's Jiesheng army, there was no second team.

The Turks have grown up on horseback since childhood. It is really difficult for them to make up for the advantages of this horseback.

"Stop...the back team becomes the front team!"

Su Dingfang naturally did not intend to give up like this, but they wanted the Turks to make a small turn directly while accelerating. With their superb equestrian steering, it was not in line with reality. They stopped and turned around directly. Although it was slower, at least the formation was not messy.

Seeing the Tang army changing its formation like this, Wu Mo couldn't help laughing out loud. The depression that had been suppressed in his heart also subsided, and he thought to himself: "It's far worse than our grassland people than riding."

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a plan in my mind.

"Retreat, withdraw me at a speed!" Wu Mo's tone suddenly became excited.

"Chasing, chase me!" Su Dingfang was unwilling to let the cooked duck fly, and ordered to chase it as quickly as possible.

The effective range of the horn crossbow is about 160 steps, but the maximum range can reach more than 200 steps.

Although the Turks ran fast, they did not completely escape the Tang army's Wuzhishan.

The mindless crossbow arrows still flew "whizzingly", and the accuracy of the crossbow arrows beyond the effective range was gone, and their power was weakened. However, the dense crowds of people could take away more than a dozen lives even if they shot them again.

Seeing the Tang army chasing them relentlessly, Wu Mo smiled and suddenly blew the bone flute and sent an order through the bone flute: "Return and attack immediately!"

The Turkic cavalry of the Ukrainian tribe once again demonstrated their excellent riding skills, and thousands of cavalry turned around in a short period of time.

The Turkic cavalry turned their heads too fast and too suddenly.

Before Tang Jun could even stop responding, the other party rushed towards him.

The Tang army was sprinting, and the Turkic cavalry also sprinted head-on. The distance between the two sides suddenly shortened from two hundred steps to more than one hundred steps, entering the range of the Turkic cavalry.

Seeing that the plan was successful, Wu Mo was about to laugh and ordered his tribesmen to counter the situation, using their bows and arrows to let the hateful Tang Dynasty know what riding and shooting is.

Before Wu Mo could open his mouth and blow the bone flute, he saw a rain of arrows hitting his face, like a locust...

The arrow feathers were so dense that they were terrifying, and the black spots covered up all the more than meter around him...

Wu Mo's face turned pale. He didn't even have time to resist and avoid, so he drowned the crossbow arrows shot from the sky... Even though he was wearing the iron armor of the general in the Central Plains, he had no chance to shout when facing hundreds of powerful crossbow arrows. He directly shot into a hornet's nest and died on the spot.

"Cover and kill!" Su Dingfang put away his crossbow, lifted his gun and jumped into the horse, and killed the Turkic soldiers first.

Wu Mo's trick was indeed clever, and even Su Dingfang did not expect that he could fool him directly.

But Su Dingfang is Su Dingfang!

This number one general under Luo Shixin, the future Yuzhu of the Tang Dynasty, was a great achievement in foreign wars.

After a moment of mistake, we responded to the fastest speed.

It is an indisputable fact that the overall riding skills of the Turkic soldiers are indeed above them.

The distance has been shortened, and they will turn around and become targets. They will simply change their tactical styles, do not do it or stop, and directly lead troops to shorten the distance between each other, fight hand-to-hand combat, and erase the cavalry and shooting advantages of the Uk tribe.

The Ukrainian tribe focuses on training riding and shooting, and will be slightly weak for the two armies who are really good at swords and guns.

Just as he ordered a sprint, he accidentally discovered Umo in the crowd.

After the previous pursuit, Su Dingfang had already seen the appearance of his opponent. At this moment, he was exposed to the crossbow arrow. He had an idea and ordered all the crossbows to aim at Wu Mo's direction and shoot... and took Wu Mo away in one wave.

The confrontation between these two armies is always full of surprises and irresistible power.

This also specifically tests the general's ability to adapt to changes. It is obvious that Su Dingfang defeated Wumo in this regard. Even if he was unexpected and lost the first move, he could think of a way to deal with it in a flash and finally succeeded in one fell swoop. With his own command ability, he defeated the reinforcements of the Turks along the way.

This is the definition of the value of the existence of a famous general.

The next one-sided situation happened naturally...

The Turkic soldiers, who had lost their morale because of passive shooting, faced the death of the clan leader, and the Tang Dynasty attacked violently, and they had no courage to continue fighting. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
