Chapter 394: The home of the Dangshan Army
Therefore, on the evening of 8 August, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, led the cavalry battalion to arrive at the city and arrived at this ancient city that belonged to their Wei state.
If in the past, the city was surrounded by felt tents of the Qiang and Qiang tribes, after all, the city was built in the early days of the founding of the Wei State, and it was a relic of hundreds of years ago, and its scale was far inferior to the city built by the Wei State in the past hundred years, only two miles of land was round, which was not enough to accommodate many tribes of the Qiang and the Qiang tribe.
Therefore, in the past, there were many tribes, and their tribal camps were set up outside the city.
In normal times, you can see countless flocks of sheep all around the city, and they are all flocks of sheep in tens of thousands. In addition, you can also see the elderly, women, and children of various tribes from time to time.
But at this moment, as far as Sima An and the cavalry of the Dangshan Army saw the city, it was already a murderous atmosphere, and the old people, women and children of the Yinrong tribe here were all placed in the city, and outside the city, there were strong young tribesmen armed with spears and spears everywhere.
"Hey! These people...... It's really the other way around! ”
Seeing this scene from afar, Sima An licked his lips, and a pair of tiger eyes seemed to be brewing with a strong murderous aura visible to the naked eye.
"General."
The two generals of the cavalry battalion, Ji Yan and Le Qian, rode their horses and leaned over, among them, Ji Yan looked at the felt tent in the distant city, frowned and said: "According to the estimation of the last general, the number of Yin Rong in this land is probably quite a lot, if the other party is mostly cavalry, I am afraid that it will not be effective to attack rashly." …… Why don't you wait for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Su's army? ”
Sima An shook his head when he heard this, and Zhengse said, "Not all Yin Rong tribes have enough horses. The reason why the people of the Qiang people have so many war horses is because the Qiang people are competing for territory with the Hu people of the "Northland", and they have snatched a large number of horses from the Hu people who are good at raising war horses in the North, and the Yin Rong of Sanchuan, although they also raise horses, but the number is not very large. …… It's not a bad fight. ”
"If the thing is three or five thousand......
Ji Yan gradually relaxed when he heard this, and suddenly, he asked curiously, "How does the general know so much about the Yin Rong in this place?" ”
Hearing this, Sima An let out a turbid breath, and his expression was unnaturally smacked and explained: "The map of Sanchuan handed over to His Royal Highness King Su by the 'damned puppet' records in detail the approximate strength of Yin Rong of the Land. ”
"Damn the horseman...... The general refers to General Zhuhai of Chenggao Pass, right?"
Ji Yan and Le Qian glanced at each other, and did not ask in detail.
After all, Sima An and Zhu Hai don't like each other, this is a "taboo" that Dangshan Jun and Cheng Gaojun know each other.
"Alright, let's not mention the horseman."
After adjusting his mood, Sima An ordered in a deep voice: "Tell the soldiers to get ready, let's ...... Fool these foreigners! ”
"Yes!"
A moment later, about 2,500 cavalry of the Dangshan Army, under the leadership of Sima An, rushed towards the tribal camp of Yinrong in the land, and at this time, the Sanchuan cavalry in the Yinrong tribal camp had already discovered the arrival of this Wei cavalry, and they all stepped on their horses and rushed out of the camp.
During this period, Sima An estimated the number of cavalry on the other side, and unexpectedly found that the number of cavalry on the other side was far less than his estimate, with a rough estimate of only about 2,000 people.
"Do you underestimate us? These vile dirty dogs!'
Sima An's eyes became more and more cold, because he could, most likely Yin Rong on the opposite side felt that to deal with their more than 2,000 Wei cavalry, there was no need to send more cavalry at all, it was enough to dispatch a similar number of cavalry teams.
And this made Sima An, the general's self-esteem, strongly hurt.
I saw him raise his right hand and make a gesture, and in an instant, more than 2,000 cavalry of the Dangshan Army turned around and changed their direction to face north to east.
And seeing that these Wei cavalry turned around, the more than 2,000 Yin Rong cavalry also adjusted their direction and chased after them.
But the strange thing is that somehow, the speed of the cavalry of the Dangshan Army does not seem to be as fast as the speed of the more than 2,000 Yin Rong cavalry, so that the distance between the two is gradually getting closer.
But just when these Yin Rong cavalry were holding their bows and were about to shoot arrows but had not yet shot arrows, the speed of the cavalry of the Dangshan Army suddenly increased, and the distance between the two sides was suddenly stretched by a large margin.
This change made many Yin Rong cavalry stunned.
They had no choice but to put away their longbows again, and rode their horses to chase forward again.
Chasing and chasing, the cavalry of the Dangshan Army in front of him gradually slowed down again.
The Yin Rong cavalry who were chasing after the rear said in their hearts, this is always a chance to shoot arrows, right?
What stunned them was that when they raised their longbows and were about to shoot arrows, the cavalry of the Dangshan Army in front of them suddenly increased their speed again.
After repeating it a few times, the Yin Rong cavalry finally understood that these Wei people were playing with us!
"Damn Wei dog! They're playing tricks on us! ”
"Chase them and kill them all!"
Because they were played by the cavalry of the Dangshan Army several times, the more than 2,000 Yin Rong cavalry were already surprisingly angry.
"General, those people seem to be angry."
During the galloping of the horse, Le Qian, the cavalry general of the Dangshan Army, glanced back and shouted in a restrained voice to Sima An not far away.
"Humph!"
Sima An glanced back, sneered in his heart, and then turned his gaze forward again, looking for a favorable terrain to defeat the cavalry behind him.
Suddenly, he saw a forest in front of him.
"This forest...... Well, it's big enough!'
After estimating in his heart, Sima An raised his hand and made a gesture, and in an instant, this Dangshan Army cavalry actually rushed straight into this forest.
This confused the Yin Rong cavalry who were chasing behind them.
You must know that the forest vegetation is dense and the soil is slippery, to be honest, it is not conducive to the cavalry to pass through, let alone fight in it, even the Yin Rong cavalry of the Dangshan Army knew it, but the Dangshan Army rushed in without hesitation.
The Yin Rong cavalry slowly stopped outside the forest.
"What to do (in the Zong language)? Do you want to chase it in? ”
A commander asked his companion hesitantly.
As soon as the words fell, a wave of crossbow arrows was shot out in the forest, hitting more than a dozen Yin Rong cavalrymen.
It turned out that after entering the forest, the rear team of the Dangshan Army did not go too far, but stopped and attacked with hand crossbows.
At this moment, the commanders couldn't bear it.
"(Ethnic language) chase! Kill these Wei dogs! ”
Hulala, 2,000 Yin Rong cavalry also rushed into the forest.
I have to say that the vegetation of this forest is indeed dense, only to see that the trees are towering, or more than ten zhang high, and their dense branches and leaves block the twilight sun, making the light in the forest darker than the twilight sky outside.
"Where did those Wei cavalry flee?"
"I don't know, is it ahead?"
Several commanders led the cavalry and slowly rode their horses through the dim forest.
Somehow, they had a vague sense of uneasiness as if their prey had fallen into a hunter's trap.
Suddenly, more than a dozen cavalry of the Dangshan Army sprang out from behind the trees in the distance on the left, and fired a volley at the Yin Rong cavalry with their hand crossbows, and in an instant, several Yin Rong cavalry fell from their horses with arrows.
Seeing this, the Yin Rong cavalry immediately prepared to counterattack, but the dozen or so cavalry of the Dangshan Army quickly withdrew from their original positions after firing a volley of arrows.
"In that direction, go to some people!"
A commander shouted in the direction of the retreat of the dozen or so cavalry of the Dangshan Army.
Immediately, dozens of the Yin Rong tribe headed in that direction.
But in just a few moments, there was a scream in that direction, and in an instant, there was no more sound.
"How...... What's going on? ”
"It's the Wei people! Those Wei people were scattered. They are all over this forest. ”
As soon as the words fell, the right side of the middle of their team was also attacked, and more than a dozen Yin Rong cavalry fell from their horses with arrows.
And as this Yin Rong cavalry gradually penetrated deep into the forest, this kind of sneak attack became more and more frequent, as if behind every tree in this forest, there were cavalry of the Dangshan Army.
"What's going on with this Wei cavalry? Are they good at fighting in such forests? ”
A centurion muttered in horror.
Not to mention, he guessed right.
Unlike the Junshui Army, the Dangshan Army, which is an army stationed in Dangshan, does not have a wide school field that can be used as a training ground for soldiers like the Junshui Army, after all, the mountainous terrain of Dangshan does not have this condition.
Therefore, Sima An could only train his men, whether infantry or cavalry, in the mountains and forests.
Don't think that the Dangshan Army has easily defeated the army of the Brownhorn Tribe, just think that fighting in the plains is the strength of the Dangshan Army, in fact, the mountains and forests are the home of the Dangshan Army, especially in the dimly lit and even dark mountain forests, the soldiers of the Dangshan Army are simply like ghosts in folklore.
In the dark environment, judging the opponent's position with sound, simulating the opponent's actions in his mind, and making precise attacks based on this is a skill that every Dangshan sergeant must master.
Yes, the Dangshan Army is a mountain soldier!
The cavalry of the Dangshan Army is a mountain horseman!
They are proficient in fighting in the mountains and forests!
Perhaps Sanchuan is the home of the Yinrong cavalry, but in this forest with a large enough range, under the night that is most suitable for the Dangshan army to display its skills, the Dangshan army is the only master here!
"Kill these dirty dogs!"
In order not to reveal his position, Sima An muttered orders that perhaps only he could hear.
But in fact, the cavalry of the Dangshan Army at this moment did not need him to give orders at all, and years of training made them all know what they should do.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, who was still on his way to the land, suddenly moved in his heart, and curiously asked Bai Fangming, the general of the Dangshan Army not far away.
"General Baifang, in other words, the infantry battalions of your Dangshan Army all have the battalion names of 'Battle Battalion' and 'Attack Battalion', but the cavalry battalion does not have one?"
"Cavalry battalion?" Bai Fangming was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's called 'Hunting Camp'." ”
Zhao Hongrun was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Why is it called this name?" ”
"Because the cavalry of the hunting battalion are all experts in hunting...... Bai Fangming explained with a smile.
"Huh? Hunt? ”
"Ah, hunting!" (To be continued.) )
