But the senior generals didn't appreciate it very much, they thought that the weight of the soft armor was too heavy and they were reluctant to wear it, and they felt that it was already very safe to have plate armor protection, and there was no need to add another layer. As a result, the production volume is even lower, which is almost equivalent to stopping production.

Zhao didn't want to wear it, but it was really not as strong as the wasp. This personal bodyguard is too conscientious, inseparable on the ship, and even more eager to grow on himself on land, even more so that he will not contradict anything, but he will not change.

Two quarters of an hour later, the armies of the two sides finally met, and everyone looked at it with curiosity. The Liao army is really varied, and there are all kinds of military uniforms they wear, and many people don't have military uniforms at all, and they go into battle wrapped in leather jackets and leather pants.

The new army is extremely neat, all dressed up, and it is impossible to tell who is a soldier and who is a general. Everyone is dressed roundly, and there is a small pot on their heads, and it is very obscene to hide from the probe in the carriage.

What is this small pot on the head for, the Liao army can probably understand it, and defend against arrows. It seems to be quite practical, as long as you lower your head, you are basically not afraid of shooting head-on.

But the way of hiding in the car and fighting while walking is the first time the generals of the Liao army have seen it, and the traditional cavalry harassment tactics don't seem to be very useful, how to deal with it?

The generals of all ethnic groups have different personalities, some are calm and some are fierce, some want to respond to all changes with the same, and some feel that they should be more tempted and tempted before attacking. At this time, the commander-in-chief of the assembled troops had not yet arrived, and no one could finally make the decision, and no one could convince anyone.

As a result of the quarrel, an army was divided into two armies, and those who wanted to attack attacked on the west side of the post road according to the traditional way of fighting, and those who wanted to try to go to the east side of the post road to see the effect before deciding how to attack.

The Liao army on the west side is basically the leather room army and the palace division army, they are professional soldiers, and the tactical training is relatively fixed, so they don't need to be cooked. Those tribal armies on the east side are herdsmen in peacetime, and if they don't have tactics, they can win the war.

While they were discussing tactics, the convoy did not wait, and advanced for more than three miles, as for why the enemy was slow to move, Miao Kui also knew it.

He also didn't want to know that the new army didn't have too many tactical requirements to adapt to the situation, and it was only two or three tricks to use. Relying on the tactics that do not use supernatural tactics, nor are they brave and good soldiers, and victory is only based on the strength of armament, coupled with the unity of discipline.

Seeing that the enemy was moving farther and farther, the leather room army on the west side could not bear it anymore, and a large number of cavalry began to trot and accelerate. At this time, you can see what it means to be a nomad, and riding a horse since childhood is really different from what you are learning when you grow up.

They formed a queue while jogging to warm up their horses and forming a queue as they marched, and there was no one to command, let alone complicated flags, and by mutual familiarity and instinct, they gradually formed six cavalry teams of four or five hundred men each, and rushed to the flanks of the box convoy end to end, trying to slow down the march of the convoy with archery.

Unlike Wang Da's way of coping, Miao Kui did not throw thunderbolts as soon as he came up, and he didn't even prepare too many siege crossbows, and only used soldiers' pulley crossbows to shoot at the Liao army.

Who is more advantaged to shoot an arrow on a horse or to shoot an arrow in a box cart? Theoretically, the new army in the box car should have a slight advantage. After all, their own targets are smaller, the shooting platform is more stable, and they don't need to deliberately dodge, and the survival rate and hit rate are relatively higher.

Coupled with the range advantage of the pulley crossbow, it must be the box car to take advantage. Except for the firing frequency, the cavalry bow of the Liao army was crushed by pulley crossbows in any parameter.

The Liao army suffered a big loss with just one face, and instantly threw down hundreds of men and horses. The arrows they fired either rattled to the carriages or clanged in small cauldrons on the heads of the new soldiers. But the Liao army didn't care at all, and thousands of people came out of the large army to join the cavalry team that was attacking in turn, and continued to put pressure on the box convoy.

But they still couldn't get close, and the crossbow arrows fired from the box cart were fast and accurate, and the penetrating power was strong, and the leather room soldiers in iron armor were still shot and killed. Horses were even more unlucky, they had big targets, and the soldiers of the New Army were also bad, and they specialized in picking horses to shoot, often with a single crossbow arrow that could make a horse fall to the ground.

Then there were those who wanted to be lazy, and the tribal army on the right felt that they had found the weakness of the box convoy. Its attack power on both sides is very strong, but the attack power of one end and one tail is weak, so just chase it from behind, catch up and board the car for melee combat, who is afraid of whom.

Miao Kui is not much worse than Wang Da, and his siege crossbows are arranged on the front and tail cars, and he throws thistles as he walks.

As soon as the tribal army stepped on the post road, they lay down a large area, and finally figured out that there was an ambush on the ground, so they pursued from both sides of the road, but as soon as they approached twenty or thirty steps from the rear of the box car, they were crippled by four or five crescent shovels.

The casualties and blood did not make these Liao troops timid, but aroused their wildness. The west side is still trying to get closer, and the east side is not to be outdone, chasing the rear of the convoy.

What was the scene of Hong Tao and the Western Xia army on the mountain road leading to Wusheling in the past, and what is the appearance on the post road to Xijin Mansion now. The difference is that the former has nowhere to hide, and the latter can hide but doesn't, and the ending is basically the same.

For the cavalry of the Liao army approaching on both sides, Miao Kui was reluctant to even use rockets, and the pulley crossbows of the new army soldiers were quickly enough to deal with it. When someone is tired, they get out of the car to rest, and then they take on the new force and continue shooting.

For the enemy approaching from behind, in addition to shooting a string with a siege crossbow, Zhao Maid also contributed a bad idea to use the thunderbolt as an thistle.

Whenever the enemy approached and was too late to turn, one or two black balls would roll down from the cart, exploding into a cloud of smoke between breaths. Whoever approached was unlucky, and the nearby war horses were all frightened and ran around.

From time to time, the convoy of boxes would stop to reorganize, replace the horses pulling the carts, and then move on. Don't plan to go to the front to intercept, the Liao army has not tried.

They dragged a bunch of tree trunks across the road with their horses, but suddenly several iron balls flew over and blew people around the trunks on their backs, and then the convoy got off the road.

This boxy car can move forward on uneven ground, and its wheels can actually rise and fall as if it were alive. It's just a little slower.

Now the Liao army who dug pits on the road in front of them was busy in vain, and they were as tired as their grandson, and finally gnawed a few big potholes on the hard road surface in winter with a knife and axe, but they were spared, and they didn't care about the use of their farts.

If you want to find a place that you can't pass through except for the post road, this large plain is really Nyimaping, and there is no river passing through it, so you can only watch this convoy continue to roll north, while throwing down the corpses of people and horses along the way.

After two hours, the sun was tired of watching, and the Liao army still had nothing to do with this convoy. The charging horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, the riders were also suffering from pain in their legs, and there were countless wounded people in need of treatment, and they had to give up if they were unwilling.

"The front army continued to walk, and the middle and rear armies abandoned their cars and got on their horses. It's not that easy to go after playing for so long! ”

The Liao army was not happy to chase and kill Miao Kui, leaving more than 3,000 people to continue to escort the box car and Zhao Maid to Xijin Mansion. He divided into three columns with more than 6,000 light cavalry and distributed a counterattack at dusk.

The morale of the Liao army, which had just left the battle, was extremely low, and the casualties were also extremely high, and almost half of each team was reduced. But I couldn't rest yet, and walked back along the post road for dozens of miles, and the roadside was full of screams of my clan, compatriots, and colleagues. The dead can be put to the next morning, but the living must be treated quickly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Before he had gone five miles away, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the shepherds knew the approximate number without looking back, so they were so frightened that they hurried to find their horses, and no matter how tired they were, they had to meet them.

It's a pity that it's still a little late, Miao Kui used his sneak attack ability again, and he walked quickly before being discovered by the Liao army's horses, trying to shorten the charging distance.

I also blamed the Liao army for being too careless, thinking that the car array was all dependent on the sturdiness of the carriage and did not dare to abandon the car for field battle, but I didn't expect people to dare, and there were thousands of them, and the number was more than that of the Liao army.

With plate armor and pulley crossbows, the new army was also not so weak in field combat. It's okay to get two arrows, as long as you are shot at the enemy by a crossbow arrow, it's basically useless. What? Can't shoot! It doesn't matter, the soldiers of the new army keep in mind the commander's warning, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot people, you can shoot horses!
