Turbulent Times Chapter 1560: It’s really easy to kill the enemy sometimes

So, even if the opponent's strength is nearly ten times that of our own, if Li Shentong has no other means of surpassing others, the outcome of today's battle may be doomed.

However, the development of the matter was not as simple as expected by Wang Junlin and others.

First of all, Wang Junlin noticed that someone on the opposite side was also observing this side with a single-lens telescope.

Since Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu built a glass factory in Fanyang County to make money, the cost of the telescope has dropped a hundredfold. A telescope has been issued, and it is not uncommon for one to leak out, or to lose a few on the battlefield.

Nowadays, it occasionally happens that the Li Yuan Group and even various forces in the south buy some telescopes through some channels at high prices.

Li Shentong has a telescope, which is nothing. It may have been sold by a businessman from the Far Eastern Army, or it may have been seized by the other party from the Far Eastern Army scouts during the scout fights between the two sides in the past few days.

However, up to now, Wang Junlin is not afraid of what the other party may see, he has already prepared what should be prepared, and has hidden what Li Shentong should not see.

Under the order of Li Shentong, he also used the sound of the horn to mobilize the troops. Amidst the sound of the horn, which was obviously different from that of the Far East Army, the cavalry of the Li family army moved.

However, instead of attacking straight ahead, they separated from the left and right, facing the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army on both sides in an outflanking manner, and at the same time reserved troops to guard against the troops of the Far Eastern Army in the middle.

However, given that the opponent has a full strength of 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, the encirclement by dividing troops will not affect the strength of the attack on the Far East Army formation.

The 30,000 cavalrymen galloped across the snow field, stepping on the residual snow and mud, and headed towards the two sides.

After the 30,000 cavalry in iron armor turned to the sides, the 20,000 cavalry behind were exposed, and they were all in uniform leather armor.

Sure enough, apart from the Far Eastern Army, which has been able to produce steel on the assembly line, even Li Yuan, who has a lot of money and food, can hardly do it.

All soldiers wear iron armor.

According to Wang Junlin's plan, no matter what, if possible, the Li family's army cannot be allowed to set up camp nearby and establish a camp.

Wang Junlin never put down the telescope in his hand. From the other party's reaction just now, it can be seen that Li Shentong is well-deserved of his reputation. He is a general who is good at military formations, at least very good at cavalry formations. Compared with the commanders of the battalions of the Far Eastern Army, this is not far behind.

The charge didn't start right away. Li Shentong first ordered hundreds of sheep to be driven out, and two cavalrymen ran twice on the snow field between the two armies with bows and arrows.

"Li Shentong is well prepared!"

Wang Junlin smiled slightly, knowing that Li Shentong was worried that there were landmines in the ground, and Wang Junlin didn't stop him, allowing the other party to try with sheep. Anyway, these sheep would become extra meals for the soldiers sooner or later.

Now the enemy's 30,000 cavalry in iron armor are in charge of the 5,000 cavalry on the two wings of the Far Eastern Army, and the 20,000 cavalry in leather armor are directly facing the 10,000 infantry in the middle army of the Far Eastern Army, and they are already ready to charge first. .

On the commanding platform, Wang Junlin also raised his hand, and the drummers, flag bearers, and trumpeters beside him all looked at him intently.

However, without waiting for Wang Junlin's order, the 20,000 cavalry in leather armor from Li's army did not charge first as expected, but the 30,000 armored cavalry who had moved to the two wings earlier charged. At the same time, facing the Central Army of the Far East Army, 20,000 Li Family Army cavalry in leather armor also pushed forward.

But as the distance approached, the Li Family Army in the middle, who was wearing leather armor, rushed towards the Central Army of the Far East Army, and the distance continued to shorten. There were only two hundred and fifty steps left.

Wang Junlin and everyone else in the Far Eastern Army focused their attention on them. The light cavalry hadn't fully launched a full-scale charge, but they didn't pay attention to the armored cavalry on both sides.

The cavalry of the Li family army on both sides rushed straight towards the two sides of the central army of the Far Eastern Army like two tsunami waves that could destroy everything. At this time, they were already a hundred steps away.

The cavalry of the Li family army rushed straight like a wave, at this time

It only takes three or four breaths to rush, and you can rush to the 300 paces in front of the Far East Army.

However, at the next moment, the torrent seemed to have encountered a dam, and it was difficult to break through no matter how loud the collision was, and the waves were smashed to pieces.

The 30,000 light cavalry of the Far Eastern Army, who were full of murderous intent, shouted to kill, and held longbows in their hands. When they were about to carry out their best riding and shooting, suddenly there seemed to be an invisible rope in front of them. The soldiers in the front row of the light cavalry of the Li family army who had just increased their speed to the fastest, their horses fell to the ground without warning, and the cavalry on top flew out due to the force of inertia, and hit the icy snowfield in front of them. The rows of cavalry in the back also knocked down a large area because they were too fast to dodge, and the 30,000 armored cavalry on both sides were suddenly blocked like this.

The screams and wailing of horses and wounded soldiers became the main sound of the battlefield at this time. More than 2,000 light cavalrymen on both sides fell down inexplicably. die.

Almost at the moment when the 30,000 armored cavalrymen of the Li Family Army were blocked, the Far East Army's catapults started firing, and ten gunpowder packets on each side landed on the most densely populated place of the Li Family Army cavalry. After the gunpowder pack, twenty giant crossbows and guns on both sides suddenly fired, screaming everywhere, and each crossbow, guns and horses were connected with more than seven or eight people. At the same time, all the infantry and cavalry of the Far Eastern Army Everyone suddenly picked up the steel-string bow in their hands, wound the arrow at an extremely fast speed, turned their bodies suddenly, and started throwing at 45 degrees to the chaotic Li Jiajun light cavalry on both sides. A total of 15,000 arrows shot up into the sky at the same time, covering the sky and the sun, and the screams continued.

Since the front row cavalry of the 30,000 Li family's armored cavalry broke their horse legs, and the cavalry suddenly fell out, it was less than ten breaths at this time, and the 30,000 Li family's armored cavalry hadn't even readjusted their formation. Three consecutive terrorist attacks came with bags, crossbow guns, and steel string bows.

Because they were blocked suddenly and the formation was very dense, so after the three rounds of attacks by the Far Eastern Army, a small half of the 30,000 Li family armored cavalry fell off their horses. Those who bowed and rode back shot back, and some yelled and retreated.
