09 Meat grinder
How many people came.
This sentence sounded a bit of a big scene, but when it came out of Jia Yu's mouth, there was no sense of disobedience at all. Who made him such a person? If he didn't ask that, everyone would find it strange.
Lao Yu glanced at it and said, "This look, at least fifteen thousand!" It looks like the elite of this green cattle department is here. ”
Jia Yu's feet were weak.
Although Jia Yu is timid and useless, many things on the battlefield were also told to him by Rong Guogong when he was alive. At this time, I was scared by Di Ren's lineup, and I remember giving an elbow blow to my son, who was already earthy and almost screamed: "Don't stand here stupidly." Help me back. Even if you can't help, you can't get in the way, and you can't shake the morale of the army! This last sentence was gritted and lowered his voice and spit out word by word in Jia Lian's ear.
Jia Lian was already soft in his hands and feet, and he barely lay on the ground after being hit by his father. As a son, he didn't dare to say a word to his father, and even under Jia Yu's threat, he could only bow his head and help Jia Yu back to the tent.
Because all kinds of materials are incomplete, especially when the bamboo pole is An Yuanwei's main weapon, even Jia Yu cannot occupy too many resources. Originally, Jia Lian thought that with his sister's relationship, he could finally get four bamboo rafts covered with horse skins and build a small room in the tent to keep their father and son away from the threat of arrows falling from the sky, but in fact, the father and son only got a bamboo row covered with horse skin, supported by two short and one long three burning sticks, which could only deal with arrows from the north. If these Di people go around to the south or the east and west, such a bamboo row alone will not do much.
Jia Lian once sent his little servant to find more bamboo chops, but he was slapped by Jia Yu. I didn't dare to spit out any bad words about An Yuanwei from my mouth again.
Now, even if there is only one bamboo raft, even if there is still wind leaking around the bamboo raft, Jia Lian does not dare to say anything, but like his father, he curls up his legs and makes a pony tied with wooden sticks and straw ropes. He was cooking next to a small stove, and at the same time, he listened to the movement outside.
When Jia Yu and Jia Lian went out. They all brought hand stoves, but later these two valuable things were exchanged for silver money to buy grain and grass. Later, Jia Jiu sent someone to send them a copper hand stove, but at that time, Jia Yu also saw that An Yuanwei's charcoal fire was tight, and the soldiers below could only rely on each other to keep warm. In such a situation. Jia pardon, Jia Lian, father and son, were also embarrassed to ask for more charcoal.
Probably this is the cuteness of Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's father and son. Even with such and such shortcomings. But they will not be as confused as Jia Zheng in major matters, this is the case in the respect of the elders and the young, and the same is true in the life and death of their sons.
Shrinking under the bamboo row, Jia Yu and Jia Lian silently waited for the result. Either An Yuanwei was broken, and the two of them, father and son, were either reduced to dead souls or prisoners, or An Yuanwei survived this hurdle, and the tragic fate of the two of them was delayed by another day.
Jia Lian has such a small wish in his heart, that is. Maybe his sister will send someone to save him. For his sister, Jia Lian has greater confidence than Jia Yu. Jia Yu is willing to believe that his daughter is a caring little padded jacket. Jia Lian, on the other hand, prefers to believe that her sister is a female leopard. Listening to the sound of fighting outside, Jia Lian looked forward to the arrival of reinforcements more than ever.
An Yuanwei was only 3,000 people at full, but it was more than seventy percent of the empty salary, in other words, even with the addition of the hundred guards, plus their father and son and their entourage, it was less than a thousand. Only half of such an army had weapons, and a significant number of these weapons had been collected from the recently improved versions of the Trapped, either scimitars or bows and arrows. Bows and arrows are fine, but scimitars are more suitable for chopping and sharpening at the speed of horses, and are not suitable for infantry. Moreover, the craftsmanship level of the scimitar is much worse than the swords used by the Daqi people. If it really slashes like Daqi's sword, I'm afraid it won't break in a few times.
However, for An Yuanwei's original soldiers, there is not much difference. They have been fighting with the Di people for many years, and they often can't even get together a spear, and now it's good to be able to find weapons to call, where is it so particular? But the hundred guards were a little unaccustomed.
Now An Yuanwei, the most numerous weapons are those spears that have been worn out about the same, followed by sharpened bamboo poles, then scimitars and bows and arrows captured by the Di people, and finally the ritual knives and swords used by the Central Plains people. The possession of armor such as armor and leather armor is surprisingly small.
In addition to the 100 guards, Zhang Guji, Deputy General Lao Yu and Jia Lian, father and son, and the two retinues they brought with them had armor. Later, Jia Yu found that he was old and frail and could not move freely in such heavy armor, so he handed over the armor to Zhang Guerrilla for processing, and replaced it with a leather armor seized from Di Ren. As a weak son-in-law, Jia Lian also made the same choice.
In An Yuanwei, there are less than 200 people in total who have armor (leather armor is also very valuable among the Di people. Ordinary herdsmen would not have put on leather armor when attacking An Yuanwei, a place they wanted to let them come and go, especially in such a cold winter, which directly led to the fact that the leather armor in the spoils of war was much less than that of scimitars, bows and arrows. And more people just wore leather jackets that were ripped off Di Ren's body and went to the battlefield.
A thousand foot soldiers with insufficient weapons, armor, and soldiers faced at least 15,000 light cavalry, and they wanted to know such an outcome.
If it had been someone else, perhaps the soldiers would have asked the soldiers to escort them out of this place. And what made Zhang Guerrilla and Ma Liang both happy and sad was that this first-class Shenwei general who was the first time to supervise the army didn't know whether he really didn't know or not, and he didn't say a word about him leaving An Yuanwei from beginning to end.
Happily, Jia Yu did not cry and make trouble to leave the front line and run to a safe place like those prison soldiers in the past; The worry is also that Jia Yu did not cry and make trouble like the previous prison soldiers to leave the front line and run to a safe place.
The former prison guards wept and clamoured to leave the front line and run to a safe place, and they certainly did not go alone. Instead, the most elite soldiers were required to accompany them. And then what? As a result, morale in the barracks was low, and combat effectiveness was greatly weakened. The most elite soldiers have been taken away, how will the war be fought next? Even an army of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Both the number of people and the equipment are far from being reached, but in the end, they are still chased behind the ass like a rabbit, all the way into the mainland. In the past, when the general was there, these Di people didn't even dare to breathe, but now the army of Daqi is tens of thousands of people being chased by thousands and hundreds of people, and they are still being used as targets! Such a past made a bloody man like Guerrilla Zhang angry and his eyes cracked when he thought of it.
The worry is also that Jia Yu did not cry and make trouble like the previous prison soldiers to leave the front line and run to a safe place. Since he didn't say anything about leaving. Naturally, those guards can't go, and Zhang Guerrilla will naturally go. If he is gone, what will his parents, wife and children think of him in the future! Not only did he not leave. He still has to fight with these Di people, and fight beautifully!
Even if you can't kill all these Di people, you must keep these Di people here as much as possible. Only in this way can their parents, wives and children be safe.
An Yuanwei's soldiers. Their families are in the military camp behind An Yuanwei. If they don't work for the safety of their parents, wives and children. And who will protect their parents and families?
Thinking like this, Zhang's guerrilla attack was just a meal, but the steps under his feet became more and more firm.
An Yuanwei's soldiers all had the intention of dying, but those Di people didn't think so.
Thirty years ago, the Di people were afraid of the Great Qi like a tiger, and they hated and feared the general; Today, 30 years later, the people of Daqi are afraid of Di people like tigers, and Di people come and go freely in the northern Xinjiang of Daqi. even took pleasure in teasing the soldiers and civilians of Daqi.
Fortune is fickle. The world is changing, and nothing more.
Today's Qingniu Department who came to An Yuanwei is like this. Thirty years ago. They herded horses for Daqi and served Daqi as the main thing, so that they could get the position of one of the eight major tribes of the Di people, and the general died in the domestic struggle, and even the son and nephew of the general who were guarding the north and firmly suppressed the Di people were executed, and these Di people began to rebel. At the beginning, it was still a small fight, and now it is already killing the soldiers of Daqi unscrupulously.
They not only killed the soldiers of the Great Qi unscrupulously, but also looked down on the soldiers of the Great Qi, and called the soldiers of the Great Qi with great contempt. In their eyes, they are the most brave warriors in the world, why can they only starve and freeze in the cold winter, while Qi Dog can enjoy the richest land, the most mellow wine and beautiful women?
They were not convinced.
They thought that if they reached out their hand, they would be able to get the thousand. Just like An Yuanwei in front of them, they didn't take An Yuanwei in their eyes at all. They think that An Yuanwei is nothing at all, and behind An Yuanwei, there is a lot of wealth waiting for them to get.
In their eyes, in the past 20 years, Daqi has not been better than year by year. Especially this An Yuanwei, who doesn't know that this place is a bait set up by the people of Daqi?
Forget about those small tribes, and big tribes like the Qingniu Ministry, they didn't do less to eat the bait and then throw the trap back to Daqi, and even use this trap to exclude dissidents.
That's it, the 15,000 cavalry of the Qingniu Department who came today is only a quarter of the strength of the Qingniu Division. Moreover, the Qingniu Department sent so many flying people, not to kill people, but to prevent the accident that there was really such a batch of money and food supplies but had to cheapen the outsiders because of the lack of manpower to bring them back.
The people in the Qingniu Department didn't take An Yuanwei in their eyes at all.
In their eyes, where is a wall of wood more stable than a wall of earth? An Yuanwei's earthen wall has long been pitted, and there was no one and no one had so much money and food to repair it before, but now it is tied into a row with so many pieces of wood, what is the use? The gate hasn't been repaired yet, it's just open!
There are very few bamboo forests in the north, and few people on the grassland have ever seen bamboo, let alone know that this inconspicuous thing is used well, that is, the black and white impermanence of the mourning stick, the impermanence whip, and the soul hooking chain.
In the eyes of the Di people, as long as they rush forward, those Qi dogs will run around like pus, and a large amount of grain and grass will become their bag. So. They did not make preparations, but, as they were customary, rushed forward with their horses. In their opinion. The wood in front of their An Yuanwei's gate would turn into tatters if they were lightly bumped. After that, An Yuanwei and the vast and rich land behind An Yuanwei was their hunting ground.
Di Ren urged the horse and hurriedly rushed forward, and behind the erected bamboo row, Zhang Guerrilla squeezed the instrument knife in his hand. While he had the horses carried out one after another and placed them, he kept an eye on the hooves of the Di people.
Four thousand feet.
Three thousand feet.
Two thousand feet.
Thousand.
Nine hundred.
Eight hundred.
Seven hundred.
Six hundred.
Their eyes were glued to each other's horses' hooves. Unconsciously, Zhang Guji's body was already covered with cold sweat. It was at this time that the fastest horse was beaten. There was a long hiss, one foot was still on the ground, but the two hind legs went up to the sky. The knight on horseback was thrown into the air.
The previous few times, the Di people took advantage of the night to sneak attack. Even that day came. Because of the small number of people. It didn't attract much attention, at most it was seen by the soldiers guarding the north gate.
But now, in full view of everyone, the knight flew for a long time, and then fell heavily to the ground, and did not get up.
This is normal.
In the steppe, the rat hole is not small. If you're unlucky, you do fall. If there is a large stone on the ground. hit it directly, but it didn't fall to death on the spot. There are also those who have fainted.
In the eyes of the Di people, this is nothing great. The big deal is that there is a rat hole in the ground and it is stuck in the horse's hooves.
What is abnormal is that this unlucky bastard is not one or two, but dozens or hundreds, one by one, flying into the sky. Because of the season, it is impossible to arrange that kind of two-pointed killing weapon in this season, but it does not mean that An Yuanwei's soldiers have no choice. The bamboo poles erected on the ground will arouse the alarm of the Di people, but what if the stones are replaced?
Prairie classes will not be without stones. And to repair An Yuanwei, there will naturally be more stones. Lost in front of An Yuanwei is not a very eye-catching thing.
Thrown off on a galloping horse, this inertia is enough, plus stones, enough for these Di people to eat a pot.
Zhang Guerrilla also didn't expect that without those murderous weapons, relying on these stones would bring a lot of attrition to the Di people.
An Yuanwei is so big, those Di people are dead-headed, and they all want to rush into An Yuanwei's north gate, but they don't think of going around to the sides or behind An Yuanwei. It is precisely because of this mentality of the Di people that one or two thousand thousand people were lost in that horse pit, which made Zhang Guerrilla secretly angry, the bamboo pole in his hand was too little, otherwise, as long as such a mechanism was placed within 3,000 feet near An Yuanwei, it was enough for these fifteen thousand horsemen to have no return.
But that's not all.
It's not easy for a horse to change direction at high speed. In the beginning, there were still people who tried to avoid the wounded in front of them. But whoever did this was either swept off the horse by the people behind him, or trampled to death by the people behind him. Those who fell before were not spared, and they had already been trampled into pulp.
Before they rushed into An Yuanwei, these Di people began to be confused, and later, those Di people who rushed to An Yuanwei could almost be said to have stepped on the flesh and blood of their compatriots one by one and rushed to the front of the rejection of the horse.
However, this does not mean the end, but the beginning of the nightmare.
They all underestimated these rejections. Even if they were all light cavalry, and they were good horses under their crotches, they jumped over the little height of the horse. But the rejection horse not only has height, but also width. The horses of the Di people did jump, but they did not cross the rejection horse, but were torn open by the rejection horse. And the rider on horseback was naturally stabbed by the spear and sharpened bamboo poles.
During this period, all An Yuanwei's soldiers had to do was to raise their spears or bamboo poles, and then stab them. The length of the spears and bamboo poles protected them from the scimitars of the Di people. Even if someone stepped on the corpse of his companion and rushed into An Yuanwei, An Yuanwei was not just waiting for a rejection. An Yuanwei is indeed not big, but it is necessary to place five or six rejection horses layer upon layer, and even prevent row after row of rejection horses in the rear, and it is necessary to be ready to replace them at any time.
These Di people, who rushed into An Yuanwei, found that they had fallen into a sea of great killers that they had never seen before. These weapons of mass destruction will not only kill their beloved horses, but also harvest their lives.
The shape shì was reversed all at once.
When it first started. These Di people still rushed towards An Yuanwei with contempt for Daqi. But the trap cost them thousands. At that time, these Di people were already confused, and they could only continue to rush forward by instinct. But what about rushing into this An Yuanwei? It's just a meat grinder -- if they know what a meat grinder is -- and a meat grinder just for them.
An Yuanwei, who was still terrified before. After seeing Di Ren so vulnerable with his own eyes, he immediately became energetic. And those former imperial guards brandished their ceremonial swords early, rushed into the horse rejection array, and began to harvest human heads.
They are not these soldiers of An Yuanwei, they were frightened by the Di people. Now the Di people have left their horses, and have been turned from light cavalry to foot soldiers, and the scimitars in their hands are no match for their treasure swords. After experiencing this change again, if you don't fall into the well at this time, how long will you have to wait?
The more I think about it. The former guards are getting more and more energetic.
It's not that the Qingniu Department is without capable people. At least there is a grandson of the patriarch of the Qingniu tribe here! As the second generation of the Qingniu Ministry, this Khazar has a few good things in his hands, such as a sword that his grandfather gave him and captured from the Han general.
This sword is extremely sharp, and it is the sword in Ma Liang's hand. was also knocked out. Ma Liang was taken aback. The other party took a step back.
The prairie pays attention to the law of the jungle. They don't care what qualifications or old qualifications. YOUCANYOUUP, THIS PROVERB HAS BEEN PRACTICED IN THE STEPPES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Being able to stand out from so many grandchildren and get the reward of his grandfather, this Khazar is also a capable person.
At least, in such an unfavorable situation, he fought with Ma Liang and the monkey, and he still had the spare energy to observe the surroundings.
He naturally noticed that something was wrong in Jia Yu's tent.
There are not many people in An Yuanwei, this is a well-known thing. Khazar is also well aware. An Yuanwei's situation. So to be able to see so many people coming out desperately with rudimentary weapons such as spears, Khazar was already very surprised. But what surprised him even more. In such a situation, there are still people in this tent!
This tent is located in the center of An Yuanwei and is one of only three large tents in An Yuanwei. Khazar pondered in his heart, judging from this position, the tent in the middle was the Chinese military tent. Then the identity of the people in the tent over here is almost certain.
Khazar was also a good player, and he clearly felt that there were three people in the tent, and they were all ordinary people who did not know martial arts.
What are three ordinary people who don't know martial arts doing in a place like An Yuanwei?
Thinking of the news he got before, and then looking at this humble but unmoved guard, Khazar had a flash of inspiration.
Maybe this tent has the answer it wants.
Khazar carefully dealt with Maleonn while looking for an opportunity. At this moment, a spear was pierced on the side, and Khazar shouted in his heart: "God help me!" ”
Immediately, a sword slashed at the tip of the spear, and he jumped with the opportunity, and retreated to the door of Jia Lian's father and son's tent with the help of his strength, and rushed in with a dodge.
Jia Yu and Jia Lian were roasting under the bamboo raft in the middle of the tent, and there was a small servant cooking small dried fish on the side. When they saw someone break into their tent, they froze.
But Jiao Da, who was sitting on the side, was the first to react. After all, he is a veteran, even if he is old and frail, but the reaction honed on this battlefield is not bad.
He immediately grabbed a shield on the side, blocked Khazar's scimitar, and shouted, "Master, run!" ”
Only then did Jia Yu react, and pulled his son to crawl around the back of the bamboo raft. This tent is so big, there is only one entrance, where is it going? In a panic, Jia Yu forgot that he also had a sword at his waist, which could cut open the tent. However, with the little strength of their father and son, it was impossible to make an opening in the tent and escape outside.
Wintering in a tent in the north is not so simple. The tent was surrounded by a fence made of specially made wooden frames, then wrapped in layers of wool felt, and then tied tightly with ropes twisted from horsehair or camel hair.
Jia Yu can't even carry his armor, so how can he escape? (To be continued......)
