Chapter 3: Camping

The armies of the various ethnic groups that were suddenly attacked were terrified, and some of the soldiers and horses of the various ethnic groups on the periphery began to flee. Wherever the Gan family's army passed, people turned their backs on their horses, and the military tents were set on fire one by one. The cold wind blew up the sparks, flying all over the sky, and the fires rose from one big tent after another, almost becoming a prairie fire.

The enemy troops in the outermost two layers of military tents fell apart in an instant, running in all directions like headless flies, and the rear army was at a loss and did not know the reason, and they were also swept away, and tens of thousands of former troops completely collapsed, and the cries of being killed shook the sky, wailing and screaming..........

Breaking through the outermost messy Han army camp, the camps of various ethnic groups in the grassland are much more neat, all digging soil for Hao, and trees for fences. Each camp can probably accommodate more than 1,000 people. They are all great empires that dominate the world, brave and good at fighting. Each camp is a hundred paces apart, within reach of bows and arrows.

In the distance of the camp of the army outside the city, there was Fancheng, and the torches on the city wall flashed and glowed.

Shouts and cries followed, followed by a rain of arrows overhead. There was also the sound of a pounce into the shield. All of them were wearing armor, and they were covered by shields, and there was not much hindrance, but the mounts under the crotch were not armored, and the high-speed galloping war horses were shot by sharp arrows and fell to the ground with a bang, and the momentum was undiminished, and they actually turned out far away with their heads and feet!

The sky is nearly bright, the drums are beating loudly in front, the battle flags are flying, and under the light of the fire, in front, on the left, and on the right, there are groups of cavalry of all nationalities coming!

Most of these cavalrymen wore leather hats and leather armor, with round necks and narrow sleeves, and held bows and swords.

The two cavalry teams got closer and closer, and they collided together with a "boom", and for a while people turned on their backs. The gun in Gan Feng's hand is nine feet long and made of black iron. In the crowd of enemies, galloping horses, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, next to each other to die, touch to die, only the flesh and blood of the killing flying, the place where it passes is full of corpses, blood flows like a river.

The drums of the assembly were beating, the drums were earth-shattering, the trombones were sounding in unison, the whimpering and low horns sounded throughout the camp, and when I looked up, I saw that the steppe warriors and the people of color formed a dense formation one hundred and ten paces away.

It is worthy of being a male soldier who spans tens of thousands of miles around the world, and it did not take long to quickly form a defensive formation under a sudden attack. At the front, a large row of shields was arranged to form a shield wall, the second row of archers and pikemen crossed and combined far and near, and countless cavalry behind were arranging and preparing to attack.

Gan Feng saw the defeated troops of the collapsed outer enemy and fled towards the defensive formation that Dayan had just formed. As long as the defeated army rushes the enemy's formation, Gan Feng will plunge into the enemy's heart like a squirrel. As soon as the defeated soldiers approached the shield wall, they were stabbed to the ground by the spearmen.

After many years of war between the Yan people and Great Xia, they gradually learned that the method of infantry against cavalry, Gan Feng saw that there was no chance.

I saw a general in the middle of the flag flying, more than 3,000 arrows suddenly launched, forming a black arrow cloud, roaring towards the Xia cavalry, in an instant, the Xia army cavalry array a group of people on their backs turned over, nearly 100 people rolled from the horses to the ground, and were trampled into meat by the war horses behind. The Xia Army's military array is like a precision machine, and the missing peripheral Ma Shuo hands are quickly filled from the inside.

Zhu Fu used a big shield to protect the front, and the big shield shot by the rain of arrows clanged. Gan Feng turned the horse's head and led the cavalry to slide past the enemy's formation, Fan Tianshun opened his bow to take the arrow, the cavalry stabbed straight into the middle, and pulled the bow and shot an arrow at the enemy general sixty steps away, his bow was extremely strong, the Khitan general was defenseless, the arrow pierced out from the neck tendon, the blood splattered, and one fell from the horse.

Compared with the defensive formation of the grassland army, the cavalry formation changed from vertical to horizontal, which was more conducive to the killing of bows and arrows, and the second round of arrow rain was shot immediately, and another round of people turned on their backs, this time five or six hundred Xia soldiers fell off their horses.

Before they could shoot two rounds, the Great Xia hussars roared south. Xiao Halu, the general of the Xi people, changed his face and shouted: "Stop them, they are going for the fierce fire oil." ”

Tongbai Canyon.

"Brothers, let the boat go and attack."

A thousand sailors and soldiers got busy, dragging hundreds of shuttle-shaped boats five meters long and no more than two meters wide into the water.

"Brother, didn't Childe tell us to do it in the sixth watch!"

The voice sounded from behind, Zhang Shun turned around and said to Zhang Gui: "Little brother, what is the key to this victory?" ”

Zhang Gui shook his head, lowered his head and said: "Hehe, I'm just a dozen, what the son and the eldest brother tell me to do, I'll do it, I think about it so many headaches." ”

Zhang Shun looked at the busy soldiers and said: "For this battle, a year ago, Gongzi asked us to lurk in this mountain, which means that Gongzi started to lay out a year ago, just for today." The key to this battle was to destroy the Han Shui battle platform of the aliens and open up the connection between the imperial court and Xiangfan. Reinforcements and grain and grass were transported to Xiangfan in time. I guess that in order to achieve the goal, Gongzi will command troops to attack the Yan people's camp and contain the Yan army, so as to facilitate us to break the enemy. How can we let Childe bear all the pressure, I will attack as soon as possible, and I will definitely be able to relieve some of the pressure on Childe's side. ”

The main tent of the grassland coalition army, Anza is directly north of Fancheng, the grain and grass are in the northeast corner, and the northwest corner is where the fierce fire oil and siege weapons are piled up.

The Xia army entered from due west, attracting the center of gravity of the Dayan army. Then he suddenly turned to kill the warehouse in the southwest corner, and once again killed the enemy by surprise.

There was no time to form a defensive formation, and a team of 1,000 centaurs on the left and right stabbed obliquely from the front, and the 1,000-man team on the left was the first to engage the Song army. The front thousand, the height of the two zhang (about 2 meters 1), the crotch of the European purebred BMW is one head higher than the average war horse, the giant axe in the hand is condescending, and the force splits Huashan. Gan Feng bent down and bowed his head, the battle axe slashed through his shoulder and neck, and the spear in his hand was handed out at a strange angle, using the forward momentum of the war horses on both sides to avoid the entire plate armor on his chest and shoulder, and the iron spear penetrated through his abdomen. With both hands loosened from the iron spear, the two horses staggered past, and the left hand reached out, grabbed the front of the spear, and pulled the spear through the body of the enemy general.

Fan Tianshun, the second row in the rear, let out a long roar, rose from his horse, knocked the commander off his horse with one palm, and then rode on the enemy general's mount, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Almost at the same time, the bones in the hands of the commander of the people on the right side of the river were handed out to Yue Zheng, Niu Fu raised a huge shield in his right hand to greet him, and there was a loud "bang", and the huge sound shook the ears of many riders on both sides nearby, and a piece was recessed in the middle of the iron shield. Niu Fu shouted: "Refreshing, eat my shield." I saw that Niu Fu's left hand picked up a small copper shield of one foot eight square out of nowhere, and smashed it on the other party's face with a pop, and his brain splattered.

The rear soldiers were flat-ended, and the grassland cavalry on both sides were constantly picked off their horses, and the cavalry formations on both sides were caught off guard, and the Ganjia army only lost thirty or twenty horsemen. The two enemy thousand-man detachments were almost completely annihilated.

More than 2,000 sharp soldiers rushed straight into the big camp of the Great Swallow Commandment, and the cavalry in the middle threw out the torches in their hands one after another, and the hundred and ten warehouses were in flames for a while.

Rushed out of the camp and rode to the Han barracks on the northern periphery.

Human heads were rolling, blood was splattering, stumps and severed arms fell to the ground in chaos, screams and wails resounded through the sky.

Another burst of killing, the low sound of the horn in front of him resounded through the field, the boundless grassland army was like a black wave, wave after wave surging towards the Xia cavalry, the spears were dense like a forest, murderous, and the huge footsteps were neat and powerful.

The 20,000 army was arranged into four phalanxes, each phalanx was separated by a hundred steps, it was like four huge carpets, advancing undulating on the earth, the morale of the army was high, the murderous spirit was soaring, they squeezed the Xia army from three miles outward, the drums were like thunder, the horns were in the sky, the flags covered the sky and the sun, the spears were like forests, the shields were like mountains, and the black of death was shining in the sunlight.

Boom, boom, boom.........

At this time, I only heard a series of explosions not far behind, and three or five huge fireballs rushed up a few zhang high, and they still felt the air waves sweeping in from a distance of several hundred zhang. I think it was a violent explosion caused by the high temperature of the fire oil.

Gan Feng saw that he could not do anything ahead, and once again turned the horse's head and went back the same way.

Killing again near the Instrument Commandment Storage, what he saw was simply a hell of a nose, many Daxia Ruishi who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and blood vomited with their mouths open, stumps and broken flesh everywhere, half of the more than 10,000 war horses in the stables next to them were killed, and the thousands of grassland warriors who were pursuing in the rear were all sent to hell, and there were bombed and scrapped return cannons, siege vehicles, columbs, stone cannons, etc. everywhere. All of them were on fire, and they were covered with human flesh and the entrails of horses.

The cold wind blew, and the strong smell of meat was heard. The undead horses ran wildly and rampaged everywhere. Almost all of the 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers of all ethnic groups who were lucky enough to survive were crazy, showing frightened eyes one by one, screaming wildly, squeezing each other, slashing each other with weapons in their hands, and even many of them hugged each other and bit each other.

In such an environment, there is no one who is a first-class person and who is a fourth-class person. Seventeen or eight hundred soldiers of the Gan family all stopped their horses and looked at this Shura field in a daze. Fan Tianshun immediately stepped forward and said to Yue Zheng: "My lord, they are finished, we don't need to work harder."

Gan Feng nodded and said, "Let's go." Riding his horse around the outskirts of the camp, he led the team to the south.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and at the same time, the entire steppe army also retreated to the north. The shuttle-shaped speedboat rushed downstream like an arrow from the string along the torrent, went south for dozens of miles, turned a U-shaped bend, and the Han River turned to the southeast, and the vision suddenly opened up. The north shore was blazing, and shouts of killing came and went. Most of the enemy warships on the river were tilted and sunk, and the river was separated by two tall siege platforms. The platform is composed of four 3,000-material building ships, which are three stories high, and the top is connected by wooden planks and laid out on the platform. The platform is connected to the shore by iron cables, which were originally lined with small boats and lined with wooden planks to form pontoon bridges, but now most of the small boats have been washed away by the heavy water and their whereabouts are unknown.

The north shore was full of fire, and the puppet Yan Han army on the south bank saw more than 200 speedboats rushing upstream, and they waved their flags and shouted in unison, throwing feather arrows with longbows. The Song army's boat was moving fast in the water, and the sailor was forced to hit the arrow and sailed towards the platform. Obviously, it is necessary to use old methods such as jumping gangs after ramming.

It is undeniable that ramming and jumping gangs are very brave tactics that live up to the style of martial artists.

Forty or fifty paces before the enemy, the sailors on both sides could already see the hideous expressions of the sailors facing each other, more than a dozen speedboats attacked the platform first, and dozens of rockets scattered towards the platform, almost instantly blooming with extraordinary light, and the rockets shot towards the platform with a scream.

With the cooperation of the water pawns on the platform of the puppet Yan army and the archers on the shore, the bows were drawn and shot, and some of the Xia soldiers fell into the water after being shot.

When the arrow is nailed to the platform, the gunpowder on the rocket ignites the oil ladle, and a small piece of oil flows down the arrow and the burning oil attaches to the ship, although a rocket can only burn a palm-sized trace, even if it adds up.

Hundreds of rockets are stuck on the platform, and the enemy troops on the platform are not good enough to cause some confusion to the enemy army.

The speedboats collided with the platform one after another, Zhang Gui had a single knife in his mouth, first went up to the first floor of the ship, chopping melons and vegetables, killing the enemy soldiers and retreating, most of the people on the platform were the color gunners of the return gun, and the melee ability was extremely weak. There are more and more Xia soldiers on the platform, and the advantages are constantly expanding. The remaining enemy troops who did not die jumped into the water to escape.

The Xia army evacuated after lighting the torches back to the artillery shells, and the platform caught fire.

Zhang Shun went to the next platform after cutting the barrage at the same time. The Xia army did the same, and after breaking through the next platform, it joined up with the Ganfeng troops who had attacked the shore.

More than 3,000 water land rovers were safely evacuated into the city.

In the 4317th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, in November of the third year of Xia Suzong. Gan Feng, the iron-blooded prime minister of the Chinese Empire and the founder of the empire, Gan Feng, defeated the 400,000 army of Dayan with 3,000 iron cavalry in Xiangfan, annihilated 70,000 enemies, and won the first battle of Xia Yan and Xiangfan.
