Chapter 270: Siege Wei to save Zhao
Seeing that the Lu Gong Department lit more torches, they lined up in an orderly manner, which made Ma Dai secretly strange.
With some kind of speculation, he led more than a thousand horsemen to go first, and when he approached Lu Gong for a mile, he slowly formed the team, and he was brave enough to get closer to more than a hundred steps.
When his vision became clearer, Ma Dai could no longer restrain himself, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and gradually increased his speed and shouted: "Accelerate!" Hasten! Assault of the whole army! β
"Assault!"
"Assault of the whole army!"
The officers of each team either howled or screamed to gain momentum, and the men and horses rolled, and the earth trembled.
Lu Gong's face was stunned, and when he fled in a panic, he was stabbed in the back by a Han knight with a spear, and fell to the ground before he was completely dead, and then the dense horse's hooves trampled over his body, and his head was like a punctured balloon.
The more than 1,000 neat armor soldiers on his side were like puppets and straw men, and they were collided and trampled by more than 300 horsemen, and were instantly submerged.
Archers, crossbowmen, and lightly armed infantry also fried the pot in an instant, and ran to the river in a panic, mostly sinking into the mud of the riverside with their feet soaked and soft.
How can there be time to screen if the battle situation is unknown? Surrendered?
Ma Delema turned around and saw that at least three or four thousand Wei troops had gathered around the riverside, and now they were already in a state of collapse, most of them were stuck in the mud, overlapping each other, and they could not advance or retreat.
"Throw a spear!"
He shouted, and the trumpeter next to him immediately played the order, and the knights took out their throwing spears one after another and threw them at the crowd of Wei soldiers in the mud seven or eight paces away, or more than a dozen paces away.
The knight carried a bundle of throwing spears and more than ten of them, and when the throwing spears were exhausted, the foot soldiers also rushed forward, and shot directly at close range with strong bows, and the Wei army in the mud had no way to escape, and collapsed and begged for surrender.
Ma Dai looked at the muddy ground in front of him, then looked at the war on the west bank, and finally looked at the Wei army in the muddy field...... How can this be retracted?
He selected a battalion governor to clean up the battlefield here to contain the soldiers of the Wei army's rout and surrender, and also to contain the infantry cavalry members who had fallen behind.
Without any further delay, Ma Dai immediately led his men and horses to go upstream along the Lishui River to find a suitable location to cross the river.
The LΓΌgong army was defeated, and the rounds of suppression and harassment of Ma Chao's rockets stopped, and it was Ma Chao's turn to continue to suppress the Wei army that attacked the barrier.
This kind of ordinary white feather arrows were thrown and fell, and Li Xu could only raise his shield to cover the top of his head, and from the gap, he could no longer see the round of rockets that rose into the air, and they all flew the rockets that landed in the middle of the Ma Chao camp and the east area.
In the middle of a fight, it is most taboo to be distracted and hesitate.
The hesitant changes in the left and right robes spread rapidly at this moment, and Li Zhen in the rear saw that something was wrong and began to evacuate north.
"Haha!"
"Beat the drums and raise the prestige of our army! Hunt down the remnants of the enemy! β
Ma Chao was in high spirits, waving his arms and shouting excitedly, he climbed onto the back of a black horse, in terms of blood This is a close relative of Mondo, although the god horse, it is a little shorter.
In the exciting rumbling war drums, Ma Chao looked at the distance to the west, his eyes reflected in this light, and his expression was excited and proud.
He can also win battles, he is worthy of the Duke of Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and he is well-deserved as a hussar general!
At this time, at about the end of the fourth watch, Tian Xin was eating in the camp, eating fried noodles and dry food.
On the side is his bare waist armor, because the plate armor is polished smooth, the polishing skills are exquisite, and it can faintly shine on people, and this set of armor is called mirror armor by the people around Tian Xin.
There are two special features of the bare waist armor system, the first is the helmet, and the protective surface is riveted with the helmet.
Concerned that the eyeholes of the visor could become fatal flaws, this helmet visor adopts a sharp-snouted olecranon-like structure, leaving enough space for Tian Xin to breathe.
There are also enough small eyeholes to provide a line of sight, and these eyeholes are just the thickness of chopsticks to block the clusters of arrows.
If the helmet is worn, the visor is usually pushed upwards to form a helmet top decoration; When fighting, pull down the armor as if wearing a protruding olecranon mask.
The second is the weapon, there is a slot on the back of the armor, and the sword used is stuck in the slot, and it can be pulled out when used, eliminating the copper sword box and reducing the weight of the body.
Until now, Tian Xin still hopes to strengthen the armor, so that the armor has the characteristics of both a scabbard and a weapon.
As a surplus of hammer-forged plate armor, Mondo also has a special visor.
Mondo already has a patent leather covering, and two or three layers of cowhide are bonded with lacquer, which can block many arrows. The original patent leather cover also has two horse ears, and even two ears of Mondo are within the protection range.
But Mondo's round, egg-like eyes were a hole in defense, so Tian Xin easily created a pair of face protection.
This protective surface is riveted with the original patent leather protective surface, which is a colander-like eye protection structure that is covered with a colander at the hole in the eye socket.
Provide protection for this guy's eyes without affecting Mondo's vision.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the fifth watch."
Yu Zhong brought the rattan box, sorted out all kinds of paper copies of military books in the tent, and the whole army was about to go on the march, and the military books must be kept.
Tian Xin had stopped his chopsticks, was holding a tea bowl to warm his hands, and asked, "How long is it until dawn?" β
"The sunrise is about four o'clock before the hour, and it should be an hour and a half before the sunrise."
Yu Zhong recalled a little that there was a lack of timekeeping tools such as water leaks at night, so if the night was clear, the approximate time could be determined according to the position of the moon and Beidou, and the error was within a moment.
"Three hours...... Wei Jun has cut off the Yongdao, but it gives me the wording to shirk. β
Tian Xin said: "In two moments, send youring knights to the Chinese army on the east road, not to fall in love with war, and shoot arrow books to inspire the left army." Let's just say that after our army has a full meal, it will counterattack Wankou at sunrise and carry out a plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao. β
Saying that Tian Xin laughed, Yu Zhong also chuckled: "Yes." β
Everywhere in the camp, the night watchmen in the camps were boiling hot water, and the drums of the fifth watch were not beaten.
The morning drums did not sound, and the officials in the camps shrank in their tents and fell asleep, and after three days of armed march of 200 miles, the officials were generally tired.
Pang Lin kept vigil and did not sleep all night, and used a dagger to pry open a bamboo tube sealed with pine resin paint, and pulled out the lid of the tube, and saw that there was still a layer of round wood chips.
He had already tasted this kind of dry food for the rapid march several times, but today was the first time that the whole army had to be allocated for consumption, and he carefully checked it to see if there was any mildew or peculiar smell.
The dagger pried out the round wood chips, revealing a layer of sour plum pressed porcelain, just looking at it, before he could smell the appetizing sweet and sour smell, Pang Lin was full of words and hunger.
His plate was placed in front of him, and he used a wooden spoon to pick out the sour plums that had been pressed into porcelain, and then mashed the compressed gray-green dry food.
Mixed with dried vegetable powder, it is also a classification of fried oil, and the eye color is grayish and slightly miscellaneous.
Each section of the bamboo tube contains six Han catties of fried noodles, and Tian Xin estimates that the calories in this section of the bamboo tube are more than 10,000, which is enough to support the soldiers for two days.
Pang Lin washed his hands, poured boiling water into the dinner plate, kneaded it into a ball with his hands, and tasted a plum before taking a bite of the fried noodles that are eaten in glutinous rice cakes.
The fried noodles and dry food prepared early can make the officials sleep for two more hours today.
In the middle camp of the Northern Army, Li Ji woke up from a nightmare, opened his eyes and turned over, and saw that the other soldiers on the shop were still asleep.
He put the cloak he had worn at night on his back, and when he walked out of the camp tent, he saw that it was still dark outside, but the chief officer of the battalion was carrying, loading and unloading things.
Li Ji turned his head sideways and asked the guards on duty: "Now the fourth watch or the fifth watch?" β
"It's about six quarters now, and two more minutes to go."
"Why don't you beat the morning drums?"
Li Ji frowned and asked, seeing the appearance of the guard, he turned back to the tent and took the sword and hung it on his waist, put on the crown, and then he went out of the tent and rubbed his face while walking, and went to find the military chief who was keeping vigil.
The chief officer of the army took out the latest military letter and said: "The king has allocated dry rations to all battalions, regardless of the officials, all of them have two cylinders per person.
Li Ji took the military letter, saw that the signature was correct, and asked with concern: "How is the war?" β
"It's not clear specifically."
The military chief officer considered his tone, considering Li Ji's feelings, and said: "The Dangkou army under the command of Song Gong is thirty miles to the south, and even if the front and middle battalions of the left army are lost, they will not be defeated. Our army has not been disturbed so far, and there is no rout of the left army here, which shows that the offensive of the Wei army is not smooth. β
