Chapter 124: 300,000 Hun Iron Horsemen Attack Yumen Pass
Mu Guiying's arrival made Ye Tong's soldiers big. It turned out that there was only one Mulan, and the training of soldiers was extremely strict, and the soldiers were trained every day until they were weak, and she was known as a female tyrannosaurus in the army.
Well, Mu Guiying's arrival is even more ruthless than Mulan, the force value is strong, and the training of soldiers is even more severe. Suddenly spread in the army, saying that there are two thorny roses in the army, full of female tyrannosaurus level.
Before Jiang Song went to Yancheng to take up his post, he came to Xianyang and fought a big battle with Mu Guiying. From a certain point of view, Mu Guiying is slightly better. Because Jiang Song's force value was 98 at the beginning, it was increased to 99 points after this time.
Mu Guiying has a force value of 99 points as soon as he comes, and there are signs of breaking through the full value.
The happiest person is Mulan, someone accompanies her to practice guns, she gets some inspiration from Mu Guiying's marksmanship, which makes her marksmanship improve rapidly, and her force value is rising steadily.
After Mu Guiying's guidance, the force value increased from 92 points to 96 points, and suddenly became the top three with the strongest force value under Ye Tong.
Mu Guiying also made rapid progress, absorbing a lot of essence from Mulan's marksmanship, especially when Mulan used the Overlord Gun, the God Killing Gun, and the Emperor Gun, Mu Guiying's eyes lit up, and she tasted a different artistic conception from it, which made her gun skills soar, and the force value showed signs of breaking through the full value.
Hua Mulan communicated with Mu Guiying, and the biggest improvement was not the force value, but the commander value, which actually soared from 90 points to 97 points. After Ye Tong knew, there were only two words, demon!
After all, Mu Guiying used to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and he definitely had a set of leading troops to fight. There is no doubt about its ability, it must be powerful.
Who is Yang Zongbao!
The demonic character of the Yang family general was beaten by Mu Guiying. In terms of leading troops to fight, Mu Guiying is also better than Yang Zongbao. Think about it, Yang Zongbao fell into the Tianmen Array, and it was Mu Guiying who came out to rescue him!
It is precisely because of the strong ability to lead the troops that Hua Mulan learned a lot of new things in the communication with her, which made Mulan's commander attribute skyrocket.
That night, Ye Tong took Mu Guiying and Xiao Hanxin to lead 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 musketeers to Pingmen Pass at night.
Ye Tong did not dare to send troops during the day, for fear that the secret agents of the princes and the Huns would get the news. At this time, the Qin Empire was empty, with only 30,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned.
Ye Tong's soldiers and horses reached 300,000, which was already Ye Tong's limit, and if there was more, he would not be able to pay the huge military expenditure.
300,000 soldiers and horses sounds like a lot, but the problem is that there are many places that need to be stationed, such as Dian County, which has 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison. There are also some areas connected with other princes, and soldiers and horses must also be stationed to prevent the other side from sneaking up.
Ye Tong reinforced Jiang Song this time, and his hole card was 10,000 musketeers. All were equipped with front-loading flintlock muskets, which were paper-loaded bullets and were very easy to reload, with skilled soldiers firing about ten shots per minute, and at worst seven shots.
Huang Yueying and other craftsmen developed the arquebus, and on this basis, Ye Tong spent tens of thousands of wealth points on research and development, and systematically researched the flintlock front-loading gun.
The rear loading gun is a bit difficult, even if it costs hundreds of thousands of wealth points to develop it, it is impossible to solve the bottleneck in production at once in actual production.
If nothing else, bullets are difficult to produce, and if they are produced by hand, it is too laborious and not cost-effective. It is still necessary to wait until the industrial base is raised to a higher level before it is possible to engage in rear-loading guns.
Ye Tong wanted to load the musket directly on the horse, but the problem was that the gap in technology was too big, and the industrial base was not there. I have just made a steam engine, and I want to take off all of a sudden, it is unlikely, but I still have to take it step by step.
In fact, the lethality of the front-loading musket is not much stronger than that of the bow and arrow, but the front-loading musket can greatly save the soldier's physical strength. When using a bow and arrow, the soldier's physical exertion is too great.
Mu Guiying approached Ye Tong and asked as she hurried on: "General, how come those 10,000 muskets look different from those muskets in the Northern Song Dynasty!" ”
Hehe!
"Gui Ying, the musket of the Northern Song Dynasty was an arquebus, which needed to be ignited before it could be fired. Our musket is a flintlock type, which does not need to be ignited, and can be automatically ignited and fired when it is pulled. There are also bullets, what you have seen are bulk bullets, which are quite troublesome, ours are custom-made, and you only need to take them out and load them. ”
"General, the rate of fire is a lot faster, isn't it?"
"Sure, seven or ten rounds in a minute. The point is that the soldier's physical exertion is not great, and he can persist in shooting for a long time. The bow and arrow did not work, and the soldier was too physically exhausted to draw the bow. ”
One person and three war horses, three days and three nights in a row, Ye Tong and his party arrived in Yancheng. However, when he heard that Jiang Song had led his troops and horses to block the attack at Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, Ye Tong did not stop and rushed directly to Yumen Pass.
There's no way!
Along the way, he received information from Jiang Song that the Hun iron cavalry had increased to 250,000, and there were 300,000 iron cavalry. It is very difficult to simply defend the pass, after all, Jiang Song only has 10,000 infantry under his command, and 20,000 cavalry is not suitable for defending the city.
After another three days, he finally arrived at the Yumen Pass, which was resisting the attack of the Huns at this time. After seeing Jiang Song, after exchanging information, I learned the details.
Good boy!
More than 300,000 Hun iron horsemen!
Ye Tong thought in his heart that during the Chu and Han dynasties, the Huns were strong, and Maodun completely unified the northern grasslands, and the entire Central Plains, except for the south, the other three sides were controlled by the Huns.
Ye Tong understood that there should not be many real Huns, many of them were fake Huns, and after being conquered by the Huns, they thought they were Huns.
Not to mention anything else, the Loulan in front of the Yumen Pass is not a Huns, the problem is that after being enslaved by the Huns, the Loulan people also think that they are Huns.
Maodun unified the northern steppe, and also went south for the first time, invading the Central Plains, but encountered the extremely powerful Qin Empire army, which was beaten by hundreds of thousands of Qin troops led by Meng Tian to lose his armor, which killed the prestige of the Huns.
It was Meng Tian who defeated the Huns many times, so that Mao Dun did not dare to easily lead his troops and horses south, and bought time for the Central Plains. Unfortunately, when the princes rebelled, the border army of the Qin Empire was transferred, which made the border area empty and gave the Huns the opportunity to invade south.
Imagine that after Liu Bang conquered the world, he was besieged by the Huns in Baideng. If you don't know Chen Ping's plan, send someone to bring money and bribe the woman of Maodu.
If it weren't for the Yan family blowing the pillow wind, persuading Mao Dun to quit the army, and extorting money and beauties, it is estimated that Liu Bang would have finished playing. For this reason, Liu Bang signed a humiliating treaty, and Liu Bang would be terrified when he heard about ...... Xiongnu.
Ye Tong led his soldiers and horses to Yumen Pass, and did not trouble the Huns at the first time, but asked his soldiers to rest and adjust, after all, they had been traveling for many days overnight, and their physical strength was extremely demanding.
Ye Tong didn't know whether the Xiongnu's offense of Yumen Pass and Yangguan this time was the meaning of Mao Dun, or whether the Xiongnu in the west did it privately. If it is true that Maodun will send troops to invade Yumen Pass and Yangguan, the situation will be very complicated.
Ye Tong was also thinking in his heart, on the northern steppe, the infighting between the Hun tribes has not ended, does Mao Dun dare to send troops south to the Central Plains?
Since Chen Ping implemented the poison plan, Ye Tong has known about the situation on the northern grassland. Before the mutual blood struggle between the Xiongnu tribes is over, Mao Dun should not go south.
Ye Tong couldn't figure it out, there were no top strategists around him! Ye Tong's intelligence is very high, and the problem is not a military advisor, not a professional strategist. Compared to professional strategists, the lack is a bit big.
Alas!
Don't think about it, in the decisive battle two days later, the 10,000 musketeers are not vegetarians, and they will definitely make the Huns drink a good pot.
Two days later, early in the morning, the soldiers of the Qin army finished eating, picked up their weapons, walked out of the Yumen Pass with uniform steps, backed the city wall, and formed a battle formation.
The Commando, who were not ready to fight, with sapper shovels in hand, dug desperately in front of the musketeers, digging a trench several kilometers long in a short time.
The Huns found out and immediately reported it to the tribal chief. By the time the Hun tribal leaders came to inspect, the Qin army had already completed the construction of the fortifications.
Three trenches, none very deep and not very wide, were enough for musketeers. There is too little time to dig a better trench, so you can only take the burden.
Ye Tong had 10,000 musketeers under his command, wearing steel helmets and armor plates on his chest. Vital areas are protected. Ordinary bows and arrows do not deal damage.
Ye Tong knew in his heart that more than 300,000 Hun iron cavalry could not solve the problem in one or two days, and it might take many days to completely solve the passive situation on the battlefield.
In order to ensure the safety of the musketeers and strictly prevent the fish from slipping through the net into the musketeers' trenches, Ye Tong planted the five thousand pikemen and shield soldiers that had been closed at the jade gate into the trenches, which were specially used to solve the fish that slipped through the net, so as not to cause harm to the musketeers.
Jiang Song asked puzzledly: "General, do you really need heavy weapons and equipment such as ballistas, crossbow beds, catapults, and chariots that are closed at the Jade Gate?" ”
"No, you don't! This is the first debut of hot weapons, take a good look and watch it seriously, once you enter the era of hot weapons in the future, all strategies and tactics will undergo qualitative changes. ”
For muskets? Only Mu Guiying had been in contact with it, but at that time she was in contact with an arquebus, which was relatively less powerful and less lethal than a cold weapon.
After thinking about it, Ye Tong took out another 10,000 muskets, handed them to Mu Guiying, and told her to organize 10,000 Turquoise Knights to help the musketeers reload.
"Yes!"
Mu Guiying immediately moved into the trench with 10,000 Turk knights to reload the musketeers. This is Ye Tong's precaution, in case the musketeers are too busy, there are too many Huns. With 10,000 soldiers to help with reloading, the musketeer's rate of fire can be increased considerably.
The system was developed and produced by Huang Yueying, the quality of the musket was very good, and the recoil was controlled to a minimum. Coupled with the trenches hidden and the steel helmet on his head, Ye Tongzhen is looking forward to the debut of the musketeers.
Jiang Song asked depressedly: "General, are we just going to watch the play?" ”
Hehe!
"Jiang Song, don't worry, let the musketeers consume the arrogance of the Huns, kill some Hun iron horsemen, and wait for the opportunity. How it is possible for the turks to watch the drama is the key to determining the victory of the battle. ”
There are more than 300,000 Hun iron cavalry, and Ye Tong only has 30,000 cavalry, once he enters the Xiongnu array, he will definitely be Qunou. The commando cavalry is powerful, but it can't do 300,000 Hun iron cavalry!
No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they can't withstand a long and fierce battle. 30,000 turquoise cavalry fought 300,000 Hun iron cavalry, the odds of victory are not great, if you don't beat the momentum of the Huns, don't beat down the morale of the Huns, it is difficult to win with one blow.
Ye Tong was carrying the 1,000 heavy horses, but the heavy horse was too heavy, and it could only fight fiercely for forty minutes, and when the time came, the war horse could not withstand the high-intensity fierce battle.
