This is Yinshan, the two sides fought at the beginning, and it was not the same as usual, at the beginning of the battle, they were all Huns. If the Xiongnu went south to fight in the past, it should be the Han people who plundered the surrounding areas as a death camp, driven forward, and used as a one-time consumable, but now there is no other population around, and it belongs to internal strife, so at the beginning of the war, the blood shed was the Xiongnu's own.

Even in the era of cold weapons, the two sides fought each other and hedged each other, so that hand-to-hand combat of one life for one life was not the mainstream of a battle. When it comes to this part, it is often ready to be finalized. The reason is not complicated, in the middle of the formation, there is no room to toss and turn, and there is no way to dodge and retreat, only forward, or fall, such a hand-to-hand encounter, in any era, is not a selected warrior, or a soldier who has undergone severe training, it is difficult to do.

Especially cavalry.

Like the Huns, who generally belong to the ranks of light cavalry, the best strategy is to harass a large number of light cavalry, compress the opponent's activity space, and it is best to compress the opponent tightly in the camp. At the same time, the range of cavalry activities can continue to expand on the above advantages, and even consider cutting off the opponent's grain route......

If you can't limit the other party, then consider other means to take the initiative. Either attacking the enemy will be saved, luring the opponent out of the solid camp and fortress, and making a surprise attack on the march, or showing the enemy's weakness and inducing the opponent to divide his troops and attack in the gap. When you can't restrict, you can't mobilize your opponents, you can't find any flaws, and you can't find any cheapness, then as a qualified coach, it is very likely that you will choose not to play, or a deep ditch and a high base, or simply lead troops to avoid it and wait for a better opportunity.

Most of the time, the battle between the two armies is basically a deep ditch and a high base, each of them is tentative, looking for the flaws of the other party, and then winning with one blow, just like Zhuge and Sima, when the other party is waiting for the battle, even though Zhuge is full of wisdom, but to storm the camp, after all, he is still reluctant, or he is not sure to attack.

However, at this moment, the Great Elder may have been carried away by hatred, or he felt that he would definitely be able to attack this hillside, so he ignored the urge of the soldiers to rush up!

As a result, the first wave of attacks that came in a hurry was defeated by Fura's very unkind laughter. The back attack of the war horse itself is limited in speed, coupled with those special pit horses the size of the bowl, and occasionally a small trap of pit people, it really makes the war horse unguardable.

War Horse is actually a deep myopic tsundere, and she loves beauty very much, and she never wears glasses, and if there is a pit on the ground, she really can't see it at all, holding her head high and stepping on it with one foot......

What good end can a cavalry that has lost speed and broken its feet again?

As a last resort, the Great Elder could only order his soldiers to dismount, and the cavalry turned into foot soldiers and forcibly attacked upward.

At the beginning, Yu Fuluo's subordinates still occupied a condescending advantage, taking advantage of some advantages, and killed the previous wave of corpses all over the ground, blood flowing, but as more and more people poured up, Yu Fuluo's soldiers gradually fell into a bitter battle.

On both fronts, corpses were layered on top of each other, and blood seeped into the ground, staining the grass a red color. There was so much blood that the ground could no longer absorb it, or leather boots, or barefoot foot, all splashed with mud mixed with red splashes, and hundreds of Huns were in this blood-colored quagmire, fighting desperately.

Although Yu Fuluo had a little stomach trembling at the beginning, but after really seeing the blood, he was also a single, especially after seeing the protection of the Han heavy armor soldiers, he became a lot more courageous, under the protection of several Han heavy armor soldiers and more than ten henchmen guards, standing behind the battle line, from time to time saw the opportunity to step forward and slash and kill, in order to boost morale and maintain the stability of the battle line.

Wei Du was dressed in heavy armor and took turns to let his soldiers step forward. If the Huns brought by Yu Fuluo are like a net, then these heavily armored soldiers under Wei Du are the stakes on the net, maintaining the stability of each node. In a group of three, one with a shield and two with a long knife, slashing and stabbing, invincible, and at the same time, when the strength drops and needs to be replaced, the large shield made of oil rattan and steel is enough to make the attacker lose any idea of chasing and killing.

Maybe it's because of the fat on his body, or maybe it's because of his age, Yu Fuluo's movements are not very agile, but after all, he has been in battle for many years, and his physical strength can't keep up, and the technology can still help, and the ordinary Hun soldiers who can still be killed want to die.

Seeing that a stout soldier under the banner of the Great Elder waved his sword and shook the slashing line, another soldier on the side of Yu Fuluo stabbed his spear, and he also grabbed it with one hand and clamped it under his armpit, exposing the gap.

The soldier screamed loudly, and was stabbed into the part of his neck and shoulders by Yu Fuluo, and he couldn't help but drop his blade and grab the long knife with his bare hands, on the one hand, to reduce the pain, and on the other hand, he also wanted to pull Yu Fuluo over and kill him. Yu Fuluo pushed forward and then stirred, and immediately cut off the soldier's fingers, and the blood splattered out like a sword, staining the blood of the surrounding soldiers a few more times, and the soldier could no longer grasp the long knife, and fell backwards.

The soldier fell backwards, Yu Fuluo was not greedy, and immediately retreated backwards without hesitation, retreating into the shield protection range of the heavily armored soldiers of the expedition to the west beside him, and a cold arrow that would flash out from below would not know where to shoot, and the feather arrow brought a strong wind, smashed on the shield with a snap and was bounced out, flashing a little firelight.

Yu Fuluo exhaled, adrenaline secretion, and couldn't help but shout at the bottom of the slope: "Old immortal fellow, come up, see that I don't break your limbs, and send you and your son together!" ”

Although Yu Fuluo was still quite tough on his lips, in fact, looking around, because of the disadvantage in numbers, the defensive circle was gradually compressed, and the soldiers of the Great Elder began to spread to the two wings, gradually forming a semi-encircled situation.

Where the front lines are staggered, there are many corpses, especially on the front of Fuluo, where the corpses are stacked on top of each other, and one or two layers have been piled up!

However, these horizontal limbs also helped Yufuluo's defense to a certain extent, and from time to time some corpses rolled down the slope under blood and trampling, and would trip some people, hindering the smooth flow of the attack.

The Great Elder's soldiers kept rushing forward, or fell, or were dragged down and left behind with their wounds, groaning and screaming. The Yufula defenders at the top of the grassy slope seemed to be overwhelmed at any time, but they never collapsed, with those heavily armored soldiers as the support point, supporting the entire front in a desperate battle like a tide of attacks!

It's not that the Great Elder doesn't want to send more people, it's just like the real-time strategy game is embodied, no matter how many people are fighting in the Cold Weapon Era, only the front line of the battle is fighting, even if there are more people sent, those behind who can't fight in the battle are at most using some long-range assistance, which belongs to the type of shouting that can't reach and can't go up, wasting physical strength in vain.

Therefore, it can only be a wave of attacks, like a tide.

However, in such a blood-colored tide, the one who stood tall was the heavy armor soldiers of Zhengxi on the grassy slope.

These heavy-armored soldiers are really terrifying, at such a distance, it is already clear that these heavy-armored soldiers are already bloodstained on their armor, but everyone is like a rock on the top of the mountain, regardless of the bloody rain and bloody wind, unshakable, and even some people have feathered arrows on their bodies, and some have been pierced and cut down, and they have never fallen, and when they get to the back, the soldiers of the Great Elder even subconsciously began to avoid these heavy-armored soldiers, and did not dare to fight with them head-on.

The Great Elder stared at Yu Fuluo with blood-red eyes, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about. And Subdiljin looked at the heavy-armored soldiers who were like mainstays in the fighting field, and suddenly frowned: "These people are Han? Is it a soldier of the general of Zhengxi? ”

Sub Diljin has basically been in Gaonu all along, neither following Fei Qian to participate in the Battle of Yinshan, nor going to Guanzhong, and he has not even seen the face of Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, a few times, let alone knowing the situation of the soldiers under Zhengxi.

Seeing the situation in front of him, in fact, Sub Diljin didn't want to continue the attack, although it was not his own people who died, but the Huns were originally not good at positional warfare, and this kind of battle was actually not very advantageous, but the problem was that most of the soldiers under his command were the clansmen of the Great Elder and related vassal tribes, and they might not be able to listen to their own words, and secondly, killing Yu Fuluo did have a certain temptation for him.

The Great Elder gritted his teeth and said, "If it's not a person from Zhengxi, how can this damn Yu Fuluo have the courage to resist?" However, these soldiers who conquered the west are still people! It's the time when people run out of energy! Yu Fuluo, a brute, thought that with these soldiers who were conquering the west, I wouldn't dare to fight, but I just wanted to fight! Let's see how long these soldiers can protect the west! ”

When he heard the Great Elder's words, he frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "How long will this last?" We have been entangled with these people on the top of the mountain for so long, and we can't take these soldiers who are going to conquer the west, so how can we prevent other Han people from attacking from the periphery? ”

"What? You haven't fought much yet, but you're scared first? The Great Elder's blood-red eyes turned to Sub Dilkin, "Look at the heavy armor of the Han people, although they are not very afraid of slashing and stabbing guns, but you let him run and try?" If we really want to go, will they be able to catch up? Wearing such a heavy armor, you have to wield a blade, hum! At most, another hour, no, another half an hour, these guys will definitely lose their strength! At that time, even if the soldiers from the west come, what can they do? Could it be that you, the new Shan Yu, don't even have the courage to do this? ”

Subdilgin also snorted, his eyes glanced around for a week, and he didn't see any movement, before he said slowly: "Okay, just do what you say, attack for another half an hour!" If you can't attack it again......"

The Great Elder waved his hand and said, "Less nonsense! I can definitely take it! Come on, send three more hundred-man teams up! ”

Subdilgin no longer quarreled with the Great Elder, but sent some men and horses to bypass this small grassy slope and survey the surrounding area, especially the east, to prevent the raids of the people from the west.

Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, was indeed preparing for a surprise attack, but not to the east of the focus of the survey of Subdilkin, but to the north, in the direction that Subdilgin and others thought was unlikely.

Because on the north side, under the washing of the river, there is a gravel field.

Just when Sub Diljin and the Great Elder were attacking the grass slope, Fei Qian and Zhao Yun had already led the men and horses in a circle and approached from the flanks, in order to prevent the sound of the horses' hooves from vibrating too loudly and arousing the enemy's vigilance, not only did they not let go of the speed and run, but also wrapped a layer of thick linen cloth on the horses' hooves.

This layer of thick linen cloth was used not only to protect the horse's hooves, but also to conceal the presence of the horseshoe.

Marching on the grassland, especially along the wet river, the dust raised is much smaller than that of the yellow mud field, and there is a piece of fine broken stones because of the river, which is either round or sharp, which is not suitable for horses, but with the existence of horseshoes, as long as the speed is not fast, it is actually about the same as the usual road.

This time, the Xiongnu are basically not crippled and difficult, so that even if Yu Fuluo is ambitious, he has no capital to turn over, at least between one or two generations, it is impossible to accumulate a sufficient population, coupled with the follow-up education policy, it will become the first Hu tribe to be completely sinicized......

If one day Longyou can be completely pacified, then two of the three big horse farms in the Han world are in the hands of Fei Qian, and Jizhou Youzhou is fighting again, under this long and one side, it can be said that Fei Qian currently controls the vast majority of the war horse resources.

Therefore, at this stage, when Fei Qian takes out the horseshoe and uses it, in addition to the secrecy of the Huang craftsmen, the monopoly of resources will also protect such technological advancement for a considerable period of time.

And in addition to the war horses, Fei Qian also has an important resource, which is these skilled cavalry veterans.

This time, in addition to the elites who have fought in the south and the north over the years, there are also cavalry trained in the generation of Yinshan, who are more or less half locals, and naturally know how to use the terrain here.

Under the command of the expedition to the west, Fei Qian has worked hard over the years, laid out everywhere, fought in the south and the north, and slowly accumulated a lot of cavalry elites, plus there are excellent cavalry generals such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Ganfeng and other commanders, it can be said that the weather has been very different from the previous Han Ling Emperor period and the northern army.

Originally, and the north, most of them were called Mongolian war horses in later generations, the individual is relatively small, the hair is long, cold-resistant, heavy-resistant, good endurance, can go into battle, can be farming, but the disadvantage is that the explosive power is small, the weight is not large, and the ability to attack in battle is insufficient. And now after supplementing a batch of Longxi war horses, it can just make up for the shortcomings of Mongolian horses, although Longxi war horses need to eat better, and their endurance is not as good as Mongolian horses, but they are large, heavy tonnage, and high load-bearing, and it is easier to hit high damage in a short time on the battlefield. After all, if you can't seize the opportunity to fight a wave against the highly mobile Hu people, maybe you will immediately scatter like scattered sand, and there will be no chance for a second wave.

More than 2,000 horses rode Longxi war horses, as well as more than 2,000 horses and horses, the number of nearly 5,000 cavalry, and they were all pawns, and they could all be directly put into the battle on the battlefield Cavalry troops can already be called a luxury lineup, even if Dong Zhuo entered Beijing that year, it was only 3,000 cavalry, and the central forbidden army did not dare to move, and the merger of the state in the Ding Yuan period could not even make up 3,000 cavalry.

It is very expensive to raise a cavalryman, and this point may only be done by Fei Qian, who started with economics and trade.

Horses are like dragons, people are like tigers, even if they are equipped, they are almost armed to the teeth.

Most of the cavalry of the general Zhengxi is classified, except for those heavy cavalry of Ganfeng, the rest can probably be classified into the category of light cavalry, but it is more than the general light cavalry with a leather armor lining, and a layer of sleeve armor on the outside, and some sergeants also have an additional cavalry round steel shield, which is smaller than the general riding shield, but because it is small, it is made of steel, and it can be made thinner and has strong protection, so it is thinner and lighter than the wooden riding shield. Coupled with a master and a pair of weapons, each soldier, regardless of his birth and state or Longyou, the blades are all strengthened, such as those directly subordinate heavy cavalry in Longyou, and it is a horse lance made by each person, and some big dogs, such as Ganfeng, or even spare.

As for the high-quality decapitation knife produced in the Huang workshop, it is equipped by everyone, and the strong bow and hard crossbow are naturally not to mention, the feather arrows and arrows are all high-quality goods, and it is not easy to drift if it is a long-distance shot, and the bone arrows commonly used by the Hu people are more than a thousand times better, so a complete set of equipment can raise more than ten or twenty ordinary foot soldiers.

This is only for cavalry, if you add war horses......

Under the command of Zhengxi, even the war horse also has a thick linen cloth as a horse cover, several layers of linen and wool are beaten into a layer, and a layer of waterproof tarpaulin is added outside, which can not only keep out the cold and moisture but also have a certain protective ability, the war can be used as a vest horse cover, and the usual march can also be used as a bedding felt blanket, which is very convenient, but the cost is amazing, and it is gradually equipped in the past two years.

With such a level of equipment, it can simply blind anyone's kryptonite dog eyes, even Yu Linlang during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, I am afraid it is comparable, and an emperor like Emperor Heng of Han and Emperor Han Ling, who is getting worse, can only be stunned, and he can't afford to raise such an army at all.

In addition, the cavalry's grain is even more sufficient, if it is wartime, ordinary soldiers are distributed with a mixture of meat and dried delicate fried wheat flour cubes, compacted and packed in bamboo tubes, when there is water, boiled and added some wild vegetables, when there is not enough water, it is okay to eat directly. And all the horses were fried broad beans with salt and sugar.

Such a troop, the money spent is really almost the same as flowing water, but it also comes in exchange for the extreme loyalty and sense of belonging to the general Zhengxi, not to mention anything else, in such troubled times, who can tilt resources to the heads of soldiers like Fei Qian, can distribute such armor, and ration such food?

- Thanks to Defeiqian, he is very good at money, and he is quite willing to spend money.

Of course, as a result, the scale of the cavalry in the expedition to the west has always been limited, and even if it has developed to the present, all the cavalry in the entire territory of the expedition to the west has been added together, that is, about 10,000 people. At present, there are five thousand here in Yinshan, one thousand in Pingyang, one thousand in Shangdang Taiyuan, three thousand in Longyou Guanzhong, and the terrain in Hanzhong is relatively special, only a few hundred.

When Yu Fuluo's men discovered that the tricolor banner appeared on the north side of the battlefield, they couldn't suppress their ecstasy and shouted, which was equivalent to informing Subu Diljin and the Great Elder......

Not bothering to pay attention to a pig teammate like Yu Fuluo, Fei Qian looked at Zhao Yun, and also saw the eager gaze projected by Zhao Yun, then nodded, pulled out the Zhongxing sword and pointed forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Rush into battle!" In this battle, in order to determine the peace of Yin Mountain for 20 years! ”

Zhao Yun received the order, rode his horse forward, and rushed to the front of the battle, stood the spear behind him, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and at the same time strangled the war horse with his crotch under his waist, and the majestic white war horse that stepped down couldn't run, but he was so anxious that his hooves were raised high, and he stood up in front of the formation, and he neighed like thunder.

As the hooves of the war horse fell heavily, Zhao Yun raised his gun and roared: "Left and right wings!" Unfold! Arrows! Rush with a certain one! Break through the royal court today! ”

The nearly 100 cavalry of the front army immediately shouted with Zhao Yun, and then the other soldiers who were left behind also passed on the order, and at the same time automatically followed the grassroots non-commissioned officers around them to adjust their positions, and a murderous aura rose to the sky!

For thousands of years, Meng Tian Tiger Ben, Champion Hussar, Wei Gongerlang, back then in the Han family border barren and desperate area, can drive the Huns like lost dogs, and now facing the Hun rebels, even if they are numerous, what can they do? Even if it's doubled, it's still a good kill!

In the shout, Zhao Yun loosened the reins violently, and the white mount had already neighed, and its hind hooves bounced to the ground, and in the next moment, it flew into the air and went straight to the direction where the Hun rebel Wang Qi was!
