Chapter Twenty-Eight: Collision
The war began, Yun Zheng wanted to see the war, and the best place to see the war was in Daheisheng, where there were six Qingtang people guarding it, and they were also elite, but Hanlin and Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi said that it was not a big problem to take it down.
So they went to the Great Black Mountain early in the morning, and only came back the next day, telling Yun Zheng that the matter had been done, and asked Yun Zheng to go quickly, the army of Jiao Guluo and the army that did not hide the false Pang had already clashed once, but they were all foot soldiers, which was also the standard procedure for the army to fight, and the place where the foot of the foot soldier stepped was a good place for the cavalry to fight, and now everyone has learned to be smart, and when the army will fight, no one is stupid to take the precious cavalry to test the unknown place.
made an excuse, saying that he was going to explore the way, Yun Zheng took Liang Ji and Peng Jiu to Daheisheng, which is a place where the war cannot be affected, although it is said that in the case of clear weather, you can see a large group of men and horses fighting, but these people are about the same size as ants.
When Yun Zheng stood at the Great Black Mountain outpost, he didn't see the corpse of the Qingtang people, and there was no blood on the ground, Sun Qizhi held a tough cowhide rope in his hand, and there seemed to be a metal light flashing in it, it was really good, with this thing, killing people only needed to strangle the neck, and there was no need to get dirty.
The wolf smoke of the outpost still has to be lit as usual, Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi are very familiar with this set, at sunset, a wisp of wolf smoke rises to mid-air, the big black mountain is the outermost outermost post, as long as the wolf smoke here rises, the wolf smoke in the surrounding places will also rise, according to Lang Lige, this is to report safety.
The sun was still shining during the day, but at night there was a strong wind, and the strong north wind swept over the sentry post, howling like a ghost, and the sentry post was as cold as an ice cellar, although there were a lot of flames, but still did not feel much warmth, and the strong wind came in through the cracks in the doors and windows, blowing the flames to the ground. From time to time, a large canopy of sparks flew up, illuminating the six faces in the outpost.
"Are the fireworks signals of the Qingtang people and the Xixia people the same?" Yun Zheng hugged his knees and curled into a ball, breaking the silence here first.
"It's all the same, a wolf smoke is peace. Two are warning signs, and three are enemy attacks! ”
"How to command the direction, I mean, if you want to indicate that the enemy is coming from the left, how to release it?"
"No need, I will understand the prediction, the simpler the better, and the more complex things are limited to writing!" Hanlin opened his mouth to speak. "The wolf smoke signal of the Great Song Dynasty is also like this, there is not much difference, and things that are too complicated are actually the big harm on the battlefield."
Yun Zheng nodded. In the rough era, only the rough things were used for a long time, and these methods were all things that had been tested by war, and there was no need to question their correctness.
They do it for a reason, and what is rough is indeed more durable than something delicate, both ancient and modern. Something rough comes to mind. Yun Zheng missed his rough telescope very much, it was still red, it looked rough on the outside, and it was made in standard Russia, but when Yun Zheng showed off in the circle of friends, he was despised by the brother who knew the telescope.
After being scolded for being stupid for a hundred and ten words, Yun Zheng learned a trick. It is absolutely impossible for a military telescope to be red-filmed, and if it is red-filmed, it can only mean that a fool has been deceived.
Yun Zheng now misses his red film telescope very much, with it, the entire battlefield will appear clearly in front of him, and Yun Zheng can definitely hype that thing into a clairvoyant-like artifact.
People don't like to talk when they're cold. I like to eat, butter tea is boiled in a black clay pot, put a little salt, and eat it with dry cakes, which is not delicious. It's just about providing calories to the body.
There is a low horn sound on the plain in the distance, this is a warning call, it is to ask everyone to be vigilant, it will appear once in half an hour, and there will be a large stream of flames on the plain, this is a way to guard against each other's sneak attacks, whether it is the Qingtang people or the Xixia people, they are operating in strict accordance with the standards, at this time their way of doing things is rigorous and thorough, it is a matter of life and death, and they must not be sloppy.
When I came here, Yun Zheng knew that those various strategies were actually not applicable, most wars were in real fights, what surprise attacks, what fire attacks, flooding, only the weak would do that, once implemented, either succeed, or fail, if successful, it will cause trouble to the enemy, if it fails, it will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
Since the development of the social productive forces to a certain extent, there will basically be no chance for famous generals to be born, war is already a comprehensive discipline, the confrontation between two countries is no longer one or two wars can be decided, at this time the fight is the strength of the national strength, the courage of the soldiers, and the depth of the country.
Jiaoluo and Wuzang Pang are now the two giants who put the flesh and blood of all the soldiers on their bodies and prepare for a decisive battle, Kaluo Chuan is the battlefield of the giant duel, Yun Zheng can't see who is stronger, but it is certain that the two giants will become scarred after this war.
This is an unnecessary battle, and the only thing Yuan Hao wants to do is to avenge his defeat, or have the dirty idea of weakening the strength of Wu Zang Pang.
The Black Mountain Military Division was the second most powerful army in Western Xia, and it was nothing new that Li Yuanhao provoked a war in order to maintain his decisive advantage after his troops were damaged.
The sound of horns and drums made Yun Zheng clearly know that he was on the battlefield, and he couldn't sleep with excitement at the thought that 100,000 people would fight under his nose tomorrow.
"I can't imagine the scene of 100,000 people fighting, Langlig, have you ever seen it?" Yun Zheng asked in a low voice.
Lang Lige added firewood to the fire, dismissing such a stupid question as Yun Zheng.
"If there are no 100,000 people to fight, at most 10,000 people will fight well, and it is not a war to destroy the country, the back hand must stay, if the Xixia people feel that the situation on the battlefield is favorable to them, maybe they will invest more combat power, and finally evolve into a war of annihilation, if no one can help anyone, this war will soon stop, and it will soon enter the twenty-nine, the cold army is not suitable for staying outside for a long time, it is necessary to go back to survive the winter, if the warriors of a small tribe die too much, that tribe may perish, This is the most taboo thing in the Western Xia army, and it is impossible not to think of this without hiding it. ”
Sun Qizhi drank the butter tea in the dry bowl in one gulp, wrapped himself tightly in an old sheepskin jacket, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, and seemed unwilling to talk more.
What he said was very different from what Yun Zheng thought, he thought that the ancient war was two groups of people with knives and slashing for their lives, until one side hacked the other party to death, in that case, the world is full of corpses and heads of aliens, what a spectacular scene it should be, who knows that people have reason, and they plan to go home with two knives casually, such a war is really frustrating.
Leaning on Liang Ji's solid back, I slept for a while, and slowly the long night seemed to never end, through the uncovered window, there was no moon outside, only the sky full of stars, and the colorless cold wind was raging wildly between the starry sky and the earth, it would not call out, but what would call out was what hindered its progress.
The last sleep was surprisingly long, and when I was pushed by Liang Ji to wake up, I found that the sky was already bright, the wind did not know when it stopped, the weather became extremely cold, and white frost flowers fell in the clear sky.
After going out for a while, Yun Zheng felt that his skin seemed to have been peeled off, and all the exposed skin was as painful as a pinprick, and the twelve war horses tied to the outside shrank together tremblingly, not daring to leave the sheltered shed.
Langrig had already lit wolf smoke, and the black plume of smoke rose into the blue sky, and as in the evening, columns of smoke rose from the rest of the hills. Correspondingly, on the hill opposite the Yellow River, there are also columns of smoke rising into the air, and these pillars of smoke eventually form a huge encirclement, tightly enveloping the Kaluo River.
Yun Zheng felt that these pillars of smoke were very much like the smoke screen before the appearance of the stage stars in the future, and now he was looking forward to the appearance of the fighters on both sides, and then fight, hug, pounce, and finally die.
It's a huge gladiatorial arena where the protagonist is about to play......
The crowd appeared on the plain, and in the distance there were drums, each beat like the gasp of giants, who were gathering strength and hatred and courage for the final collision.
Yun Zheng's heart was surging by the sound of the drum, and he even felt that his heartbeat was beating tightly with the beat of the drum, forgetting the cold, his two hands grabbed on the stone platform made of bluestone, and the green tendons burst out.
The drumming stopped, and Sun Qizhi squinted his eyes at the two black oppressive phalanxes and said, "It's started!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the right wing cavalry of the Tangut people had already been launched, and the speed was constantly increasing, and their target was the left wing cavalry of Jiao Guluo that they were facing.
The phalanx of Jiao Guluo seemed to have grown wings in an instant, and the phalanx on the left and right sides were also rushing forward, not only to meet the cavalry on the right flank who did not hide the false Pang, but also to make the left wing of the false Pang feel heavy pressure,
"Ho!" This is the shouting of the cavalry when they charge, maybe they didn't shout these two words, but when it came to Yun Zheng, it became this syllable.
"From the start to the gallop, and then to the final acceleration, the war horse needs at least half a mile of distance, so the distance of one mile is the minimum combat space for cavalry operations, and the cavalry that runs completely is unstoppable!"
"It's not like that!" Yun Zheng muttered in a low voice, this was completely different from what he had seen in TV and movies before. There are no varied formations, just two chaotic teams colliding together frantically!
The sound of horses' hooves covered all the noise between heaven and earth, and the two rushing waves finally collided together, turning out beautiful waves, Yun Zheng was too far away to see the blood, and could only enjoy the most magnificent scene on the planet like watching black and white films.
