0748 Who Eats Whom?
After crossing the river, the Wei cavalry army from the right flank found that the right flank of the Han army had a hill that was not too high.
If you change your normal life, this hill is not a big obstacle.
But at this time, the Han army occupied the hill early.
Moreover, for the elite cavalry of the Wei army, which did not have bilateral stirrups, it was too difficult to attack on the back.
Some generals shouted loudly and told the cavalry to dismount and prepare to try to attack with foot.
Before the appearance of the cavalry three-piece suit, the cavalry was originally used for both foot and cavalry in many cases.
It's just that their cavalry is not as well prepared as pure foot soldiers, and many of them don't even have a small round shield.
A wave of arrows from the crossbowmen who came out of the hills rained down, and the Wei army, which had little protection, fell to the ground screaming.
The Wei cavalry, which had failed in their attempt to capture the commanding heights on the right flank, had to retreat.
At the same time, under the pinning down of the frontal Wei infantry, the left flank also crossed smoothly to the west bank.
This lifted Zhang Hua's spirits.
The left flank of the Han army was a large flat area, which was most suitable for the charge of the cavalry.
Liangzhou Malaysia is rampant all over the world.
I don't mean that.
Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, accustomed to spears, non-selected forwards, unstoppable.
This is the conclusion made by the speaker when Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Guanzhong, which shows the elite of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Feng Yong held up the binoculars and saw that the Wei cavalry in the north was slowly forming a phalanx, and hurriedly asked people to wave their flags and give orders.
Zhang Wei, who had been paying attention to the Chinese military order flag, slowly exhaled and shouted: "Turn left, prepare!" ”
There was a sound of armor rubbing against each other, and the Modao team, who had been sitting and resting, stood up and lined up, and at the same time put on their helmets.
Under the scorching sun, the iron armor on everyone in the Han and Wei armies was already hot, almost scalding people.
The only exception is the soldiers of the Mo Knife Team, whose iron armor has auxiliaries to help water and cool down.
Then a series of weapons collided.
Since the first battle of the Street Pavilion, the Modao team has been continuously improving in actual combat.
The soldiers of the Qiang Captain's Mansion patrol Longyou from time to time, participate in the Qiang ** chaos, and the Modao team must advance in every battle, not without a target.
The current Mo knife team uses the Mo knife as the main output, and for various situations, there are weapons such as ring head knives, spears, hooks and even whistle sticks as auxiliaries.
While weapons and protective armor are constantly improving, the methods of combat are also becoming more and more mature.
This is the Modao team's second time against the real Wei cavalry after the Battle of Jieting, and it is also one of the best Liangzhou iron cavalry in the world.
After all the auxiliaries retreated, the Modao team had already finished arranging.
The drums sounded.
The chief of each party followed the drum beat and ordered: "Enter!" ”
The soldiers who advance with swords must not only be tall, but also have to train their physical strength and endurance regularly.
Coupled with the meat supplement from pastures and farms, everyone can be considered a muscular man.
Behind the black mask, a cold gaze flashed.
"The first battle of the Modao team in Jieting was the New Fifth Army of the Wei Central Army, among which there were also tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who were robbing the world of Cao thieves back then."
Feng Yong handed the telescope to Jiang Wei, "Liangzhou Iron Rider and Tiger and Leopard Rider can be regarded as the best riders in the world. Boyo, do you think that Liangzhou Iron Riding is more powerful, or is Tiger and Leopard riding more powerful? ”
Jiang Wei held up the binoculars and saw that the Wei cavalry began to charge, and at the same time, on the side of the Great Han, countless snow-white long knives were raised diagonally, shining dazzlingly under the sun.
The iron horse is like a torrent, and the strange knife is like a jungle.
The Liangzhou Iron Horseman, who was holding a spear, slammed into the Mo knife that was like a wall.
At this moment, Jiang Wei's body tightened.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is known for its strong impact, in front of this heavy infantry phalanx, actually only shook the front two or three rows of formations, and then even the men and horses were strangled into minced meat!
"Knock knock!"
The drums beat more urgently.
"Enter!"
The Modao queue standing behind immediately stepped forward, crossed the first few rows, and so on, taking turns to replenish.
There is only life and death, and there is no retreat.
The blood under his feet did not seep into the ground in time because there was too much minced meat, and in this weather, it suddenly became slimy.
The people of Liangzhou are not afraid of death, and the Liangzhou iron horse is even more powerful.
It's just that no matter how they charged, the Han army's long sword array was like an iron-forged city wall, causing them to fall down again and again, and their heads were broken and bleeding.
"Junhou, although the last general doesn't know which is more powerful, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the last general knows that they can only bow down in front of the Junhou's Mo Dao team."
After a long time, Jiang Wei put down the binoculars, let out a long breath, turned his head, and looked at Feng Yong with a little inexplicable awe in his eyes.
As more and more Wei troops crossed the river, the frontal battle became more and more intense.
The heart of returning to the division and fighting to the death was explained to the greatest extent at this time.
Many Wei troops were red-eyed and rushed to the Han army formation desperately.
A spear stabbed Wei Pawn in the thigh, and the powerful penetrating force made the spear head emerge from the back of his thigh, Wei Pawn gritted his teeth and raised his knife to swing at the barrel of the spear.
With a "click", the body of the gun was very tough, and it was only cut out.
The concussion came from the gun, Wei Shu was so painful that he almost fainted, he knew that he could not be spared, taking advantage of the fact that the other party did not pull the spear in time, he threw himself down and hugged the body of the gun: "Kill!" ”
The comrades beside him shouted, raising their knives and rushing at the Han soldier who was trying to draw his spear.
The Han soldier was forced to let go of the spear, but after all, it was a step too slow, and the long knife had already slashed at his arm.
With a "bang", blood spurted like a fountain, and he lost his master's arm and fell to the ground.
The Han soldier screamed, but fortunately someone next to him came to help him block the long knife that was pressing at him again, which allowed him to avoid being cut off his head.
The Wei cavalry on the left flank was frustrated by their aggressive charge at first, which did not affect their morale, they retreated, regrouped their formation, and charged in turns.
The bursts of minced meat were stacked even more.
Finally, the Wei cavalry, which had suffered heavy losses, began to make a constant detour.
Not to mention ordinary cavalry, even the cavalry generals have never seen such a strange and fierce class.
This kind of soldier seems to be born to restrain cavalry.
No matter how powerful the cavalry is in front of it, there is only one end: the men and horses are broken.
"With such foot soldiers, why should the cavalry be afraid?"
Jiang Wei muttered.
"Not necessarily." Feng Yong said beside him, "In this world, there must be yin and yang, and there is a spear and a shield. ”
"The cavalry has an advantage in the face of foot soldiers, but this kind of assault cavalry has no way to help this kind of foot soldier."
Jiang Wei couldn't believe it: "Is there still a cavalry army in the world that can defeat such foot soldiers?" ”
Feng Yong nodded: "Yes." ”
In a frontal battle, light cavalry has no advantage over heavy infantry.
But if you change to armor and riding equipment, it may not be.
Whether it is the Northern and Southern Dynasties when the armor and cavalry equipment began to rise, or the Sui and Tang dynasties, and even the Song and Yuan dynasties, the armor and cavalry equipment occupy an extremely important strategic position.
This can be confirmed by documentary sources and excavated artefacts.
And unlike what some think, the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan and Mongol only focused on light cavalry.
Of course, because of the different battlefields, the armor and cavalry equipment may also become armor and horses, that is, people wear armor, but horses do not wear armor.
The armor and cavalry equipment really withdrew from the battlefield, and that was until the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Because of the advent of firearms, the format of warfare has changed.
The Mo Dao team of the Tang Dynasty is invincible, and that is because it is basically facing the light cavalry of the grassland people.
At the same time, Datang itself has a large number of cavalry to cooperate with the Modao team.
Heavy infantry without cavalry will not have much upper hand in the face of armored cavalry.
Even in the face of the enemy's light cavalry and heavy cavalry to cooperate with the attack, most of the time can only end up with hatred.
At this time, the armor has not yet appeared, and it may also appear, but in terms of the current world, no one in the Han, Wei and Wu Kingdoms can afford to play.
Because it's the equivalent of burning gold.
As far as the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu are concerned, which one is not bitter haha?
Maintaining a ten-to-one conscription rate alone is enough to overwhelm people.
Of course, the life of the Han people may be better than that of the other two countries.
So as long as the armor and cavalry equipment do not appear, then the Modao team is a nightmare for the cavalry.
Jiang Wei wanted to know what the cavalry that could defeat the Modao team was like, but he opened his mouth and didn't dare to ask.
What if this Feng Wenhe misunderstood himself and said that he wanted to defeat the Modao team in his hands?
Feng Yong saw Jiang Wei's appearance, but he took the initiative to say, "This kind of cavalry army is not available in the world today. If there is a chance in the future, Boyo says that he will not have the opportunity to see it. ”
As the two were talking, they saw that the Wei cavalry on the left flank began to continue to circle back, as if they wanted to find the weak point of the Han army's formation.
"Prince!"
Jiang Wei looked at it and hurriedly reminded him.
Feng Yong took the binoculars, looked in the direction Jiang Wei pointed, found Wei Jun's intention, put down the binoculars, and nodded at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei saluted and hurriedly stepped off the stage.
After a while, the Tiger Infantry Army, which had been staying in the rear, quickly moved.
The Wei cavalry made a big circle, and then found the Hubu army that was waiting for the battle.
I don't know what the cavalry generals of the Wei army think, maybe they were scared of being killed by the Modao team, or they may have found that the Hubu Army had already prepared, which made him feel something strange.
Therefore, the cavalry of the Wei army walked around several times in front of the Hubu army, but did not charge.
The sound of gold in the rear relieved the embarrassment of the Wei cavalry.
The cavalry general breathed a sigh of relief and led the cavalry to hurriedly retreat to the east bank.
The Wei army left a pile of corpses and many groaning wounded soldiers on the west bank.
Jufu led the people and chased them for a while, and did not stop until the water's edge.
"Why did the thief suddenly retreat?"
From the desperate appearance at the beginning, to the sudden withdrawal of the army now, Feng Yong was a little puzzled.
"They don't look like they're powerless to attack, I thought they'd hold on for another hour!"
Jiang Wei, who ran to the rear and looked at the Wei cavalry for a long time, rushed back to the commander after receiving the news of Cao Thief's retreat, and responded to the battalions in front at any time.
When he arrived, he happened to hear Feng Yong say this, so he opened his mouth to guess: "The last general thinks that it may be because the sun is in the west?" ”
"Huh?"
Feng Yong couldn't understand Jiang Wei's words.
"Prince, please look," Jiang Wei turned around, facing the west, and pointed to the sun, "Cao Thief is facing the sun in the west, and his vision is like a vastness, isn't it that the weather is unfavorable?" ”
Feng Yong turned around with Jiang Wei, and happened to be hit by the sunlight in his eyes, making him squint his eyes and build the pergola with his hands.
"Heaven and earth win people, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" Feng Yong suddenly looked at Jiang Wei and praised, "As the prime minister said, Bo Youguo is keen on military affairs and has a talent for military strategy. ”
Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed, and said modestly, "The prince has won the prize, and when this last general led the army to the north, he happened to be dazzled by the sun, so he just remembered it." ”
"It is the first time for Boyo to lead an army against the enemy, and it is extremely rare to be able to change like this."
Feng Junhou still did not hesitate to praise himself.
Jiang Wei was even more embarrassed, but he still considered one thing, "Prince, when the sun is in the west, it is beneficial to us." But tomorrow the sun is rising, and I am afraid that it will be our turn to be in a disadvantageous position. ”
Feng Yong was stunned, he didn't expect this for a while.
I only heard Jiang Wei continue, "Junhou, the leader of the Cao thief on the other side, can find out about this as soon as possible, and he must also be a person who knows the soldiers. ”
"In the eyes of the last general, tomorrow he will definitely attack at the beginning of the sun, and the prince must not be guarded."
Feng Yong frowned and turned to look at the other side.
I saw that the opposite side had begun to gather troops and horses, and it seemed that it was indeed preparing to collect troops.
On the second day, seeing that the sun had just risen, the Wei army began to assemble.
Zhang Hua turned his back to Han Jun and waited until the sun slowly rose, and the sunlight entered his eyes, making him squint.
With a smile on his face, he began to give the order to beat the drums.
The Wei army once again repeated yesterday's process, crossing the river and shooting arrows......
It's just that when the Wei army rushed to the opposite bank, they saw a patch of green.
Each of the Han soldiers wore a green hat made of green leaves and green branches on their heads, which was equivalent to adding a brim.
The Han army, which should have been dazzled by the sun, was protected by the green hat, but it was not affected by the sun at all.
The arrows of the Han army are still so dense, the head of the spear is still so accurate, and the posture of holding a knife to cut people is still so fierce......
Soon, a returning general spread the news to Zhang Hua's ears.
Zhang Hua, who was standing on the shore, listened, his expression first froze, then began to turn blue, then white, and finally green......
In the end, he stumbled and almost fell into the water.
"Be careful!"
Fortunately, the general who came to report was quick and hurriedly supported him.
Zhang Hua clutched his chest and smiled miserably: "I thought I could use the sky, but I didn't expect that the opponent had already seen through my plan." ”
"Xiao Wenhe, Xiao Wenhe, it really deserves its reputation!"
Thinking of being robbed of grain and grass again, and being blocked here by the other party, even the plan he came up with temporarily was in the other party's calculations.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hua was immediately disheartened: can defeat Zhang, and is known as a character of Xiaowenhe, how can he fight?
"This green hat that Junhou came up with is really wonderful!"
Jiang Wei also wore the green on his head, experienced the effect in person, and found that the sunlight was really blocked, and his face was excited.
He looked at Feng Yong, who didn't even wear a helmet, "Don't you try it when you don't wear it?" ”
Feng Junhou coughed, "Boyo, I won't try, and I won't go into battle myself, so I don't need to wear this." ”
At this time, a number of horsemen from the rear suddenly ran back to the camp.
"Prince, Cao thief Jincheng reinforcements have arrived!" Even in the early morning, the Night Hunters of the Night Camp were already sweating profusely, gasping for breath, "It's only ten miles away from here. ”
Feng Yong's expression finally became solemn: "Cavalry? ”
"Yes, it's all cavalry!"
"How many are there?"
"It's not clear."
Feng Yong looked at Zhang Yuan, who was standing aside, "Pass it to the Dark Night Camp and let them find a way to find out the number of people who came to the aid of Cao Thief in Jincheng!" ”
"No!"
Zhang Yuan hurriedly ran down.
"Boyo, how are the moats and walls at the back of the camp prepared?"
Feng Yong asked.
"In the past two days, the people and the auxiliary soldiers have been working with all their might, and they have barely taken shape."
Jiang Wei hurriedly replied.
Feng Yong nodded, "That's good." Let all the captured men and auxiliaries go, and drive them south along the current, and let them hide in the mountains. ”
"Cao thieves are flanked back and forth, and it is a hidden danger for these people and auxiliaries to stay."
He looked at Jiang Wei and said word by word, "Boyo, this rear will all be handed over to your Hubu Army, and I don't have any extra battalions at hand." ”
"If you can resist it, our army will be safe, if you can't hold it, the whole army will be annihilated."
Jiang Wei clenched his fists heavily, "Please rest assured!" ”
With that, he turned around and went down.
Feng Yong looked to the east again, his eyes were dark: "Wei Yan, Wei Yan, I hope you can really live up to the eyes of the first emperor, don't let me down!" ”
The ten-mile road, without sparing horsepower, was not far for the cavalry.
When he saw smoke and dust rising from the west, Feng Yong couldn't help but slap himself.
Damn, I swore that I would never hand over the back road to others last year, why don't you remember it for a long time?
Lao Tzu is stuck in the mountain pass, threatening the other party's grain road and back road, isn't it over? What do you have to do to eat each other in one go?
