Chapter 200: Destroying the withering and decaying and seeking to be fully ordered

There are traces of the development of civilization.

Regarding the progress of metallurgy, the Central Asia Express East Asia Department is mainly due to the quality of minerals, and of course, there are also reasons why China is too dependent on bronzes.

Also because of the large amount of raw ore, the lower cost of steel technology was not officially popularized until the Han Dynasty, replacing bronze, so there was no heavy army before the Han Dynasty, even if the famous Wei Wushu in history thought that the heavy infantry built with all the power of Wei was mainly because the cost of weapons and equipment was too high.

After all, monarchs preferred to turn bronze into ritual vessels or bronze pillars.

At this time, this was the case in the Central Plains, not to mention the nomads with backward metallurgical technology.

But in the same way, because there is no bronze armor, let alone iron armor with high defense, the development direction of Donghu's cavalry is still mainly based on cavalry and rangers, but because there is no saddle, if in the face of an enemy weaker than their own number, Donghu's cavalry will give up the bow and arrow, choose to use the impact of the horse to crush the opponent and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The cavalry of the Yuwen Department looked down on Murong Quan's 5,000 infantry, so they gave up riding and archery and chose to charge and trample.

Under the charge of a large number of cavalry, Murong Quan's army was naturally as fragile as grass mustard.

After all, this is a group of troops who have not experienced regular warfare and have not been uniformly trained.

But Donghu was still a light cavalry after all, and in the face of the heavy cavalry charge of the Broken Army, under the impact of steel horse armor and cavalry spears, they were also trampled like fragile grass mustard.

The Qianpo cavalry led by Li Xin had already launched a charge from the side when Murong exhausted the infantry was scattered, and then, like a tractor, pushed out a straight bloody path in the front row of cavalry groups that had stopped charging in the Yuwen Department.

The Donghu people rarely pay attention to tactics in warfare, and most of them are brainless and rushed, so this simple and crude way is more in line with them.

After they broke up the shield array at the cost of thousands of knights in the front row, they originally wanted to rely on the number of people to annihilate all these infantry, so they all gathered together in a chaotic manner.

The most taboo thing for cavalry is to get together.

Once they get together, they lose their greatest advantage of cavalry, mobility.

There is no other advantage except to appear taller on the horse, and it has lost the flexibility that belongs to humans, after all, a horse is a horse, and even if the equestrian skills are good, they are not as flexible as the legs.

Arm command is just an exaggerated adjective.

Therefore, these knights of the Yuwen Division, who were piling up to collect people's heads, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered under the sturdy cavalry spears and sharp swords of the Broken Army.

Moreover, although the speed of the war horse in light armor was much slower, the impact and defense power were not something that the fragile bronze and stone blunt wood weapons of the Ubun Department could damage.

At this time, the cavalry is a flesh and blood tank rampant on the battlefield, reaping life wantonly.

The most important thing in the confrontation between the two armies is morale, once the morale is broken, then no matter how many equipment and numbers have the advantage, the army will be defeated.

Li Xin was like a silver bolt of lightning, and everywhere he went, people were basically turning on their backs, and blood was flying like a waterfall.

At this time, the importance of a fierce general was reflected, and under Li Xin's momentum, the broken army that was still a little afraid of war was also demoralized, and they were red-eyed.

So in an instant, the situation on the battlefield was obviously reversed, and the innermost cavalry of the Yuwen Department began to break and flee outward, colliding with the knights rushing in from outside, making the scene even more chaotic.

About a few hundred meters away, Yu Wenhe looked at the scattered army that had fled, his eyes widened and his face turned pale, and he roared, "What happened ahead?!" ”

"King, please withdraw first." Yuwenhe's personal guards looked at the scattered and galloping army, and immediately pulled the chewing head of Yuwenhe's mount and retreated.

"Why is this damn waste being returned? It's just that thousands of people can't beat it, right? Yuwenhe roared angrily, turning his head to look at the deserters under his command, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Be careful, King!" The guard suddenly screamed, and at the same time pulled Yu Wenhe's robe and pulled him a little.

Yu Wenhe, whose body was out of balance, didn't have time to come back to his senses, so he only felt a strong wind blowing in his ears, and at the same time, there was a hot pain in his ears, which made him can't help but scream.

The strong wind passed through Yu Wenhe's ears and shot into the throat of a guard behind him, blowing a beautiful blood mist, which blinded the eyes of many guards behind, and several people collided and fell off the horse before they were caught off guard.

Yu Wenhe couldn't care about the wound on his ear at all, he crouched down and hugged the horse's neck, completely sticking himself to the horse's back, feeling like he was about to suffocate, but his eyes instinctively swept the figure on the hill not far away, and he was instantly frightened.

When did so many people pop up behind him?

didn't have time to think about it, Yu Wenhe desperately grabbed the horse's belly and urged the mount to accelerate, and at the same time loudly called for the guards to protect him, and ran madly to the camp.

The distance was less than three miles, and with the speed at which he sat down the treasure horse, it was less than ten minutes, but in these few short minutes, Yuwenhe felt that he had experienced several deaths.

Seeing that the Donghu camp was in front of him, Yu Wenhe didn't care about the embarrassment and image, and sounded the leader's corner for help that only the defeat would blow.

The sound of horns entered the Donghu camp, and after a while, a hundred and ten cavalry poured out to answer.

Pan Geng was also shocked to see Yu Wenhe, whose face was covered with blood, and was also shocked when he was picked up from the horse by his own guards, and walked over quickly to support Yu Wenhe, "Why is the King of the South Horde so embarrassed?" ”

"Enemy attack! Unknown enemy! Yuwenhe's face was covered with blood, and his expression became even more hideous, grabbing Pan Geng's arm and yelling, "Quickly gather all the departments to fight back." ”

Pan Geng frowned slightly, let his subordinates blow the horn, and reassured, "King Nanhor is a little safe, what kind of enemy is it?" Is it a cautious wild dog? ”

"Why didn't the general just rush to kill and capture the king of the South Horde?" Mo Bing put down the bow and arrow in his hand, looked at the team that had already run away, and turned his head to look at Wang Li suspiciously.

Wang Li smiled, "If you can dodge my arrows, it is also his creation, let him live a little longer." ”

Mo Bing frowned slightly, "The emperor said that there is no turning back when opening the bow, and the general should not be so childish, otherwise he will suffer." ”

Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your emperor also gave you a military lesson?" ”

"Before setting out on the expedition, I told that the two armies would face each other, and if they could, they would kill if they could, dismount and surrender, and let them go if they could." Mo Bing said in a deep voice.

"Indeed he is the truth." Wang Li hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "But don't be brainless, you have to learn to use it, if we rush over and capture him alive, how can we lure the enemy out?" ”

Mo Bing frowned: "Isn't it just right that the 50,000 cavalry of the King of the Southern Horde are broken here?" If they are allowed to regroup and go out again, will it not only increase the pressure on us? ”

"Then your Emperor's plan will fail." Wang Li shook his head with a smile, and turned the horse's head, "Retreat three miles back, and outflank them from the side and rear after Donghu comes out." ”

"General Zhai Qiu should be less than fifty miles to the west, and there should be just enough time to rush to help." Mo Bing squinted and said.

"Fifty miles of forced march, how to fight if you are short of soldiers and horses, it is better to wait and attack the front line." Wang Li glanced in the direction of Liaoyang City again, but because it was too far away, he couldn't even see the outline, urging the war horse.

Gu Zhujun and the Donghu army confronted each other for the first time, with 13,000 people against more than 50,000 people, and won a complete victory, beheading at least more than 10,000 people.

The corpses of more than 10,000 men and horses covered the original wasteland, and the scarlet blood adorned the lush wasteland with a ruby.

Murong Qian sat on the corpse of a horse that had been trampled into rotten flesh, ignoring the fact that the minced meat seemed to be drilling through the cracks in his armor, as if he couldn't feel the sticky and thick feeling, gasping for breath, staring blankly at the flesh and blood hell in front of him.

The Hu people, who were not yet dead, struggled in pools of blood and corpses, the bloody hands in the depths were shocking, and a war horse whose hind legs had been trampled was still stubbornly neighing and struggling, as if they wanted to stand up, but to no avail.

I don't know which tendon was wrong, Murong Qian actually wanted to save it.

I don't know if it was because I didn't have the strength or if I was stuck with the flesh and blood, Murong struggled to get up from the rotten flesh and walked to the group of war horses that were still struggling tenaciously not far away.

But just as he was about to get closer, a spear refracted the harsh sunlight pierced the horse's head.

Murong stared at the scarlet eyes, watching the vitality in the eyes of the war horse dissipate, with inexplicable grief and indignation in his heart, and looked up at Li Xin, who had his back to the sun and could only see the outline of the shadow.

"Regroup your men and let them clean up the battlefield." Li Xin pushed away the mask on his face, looked down at Murong Qian and said.

Murong took a deep breath, grinned, and arched his hand, "The general is brave." ”

"You're not bad, you didn't escape from the battle." Li Xin chuckled, "I thought my first shot would be stabbed in you." ”

The corners of Murong exhausted's mouth twitched, "In the eyes of the general, the last general is so unbearable?" ”

Li Xin glanced at Murong Qian meaningfully, and chuckled, "Go and reorganize the army." ”

"When the Hu army is exhausted in the next battle, you still have to take the lead?" Murong wiped the blood stains from his face and asked with a smile.

"You're not the first to be in the lead, bait at best." Li Xin sneered lightly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then grabbed the horse's belly and stepped back on the corpses all over the ground.

Murong bent down with all his might, hiding the killing intent in his eyes, feeling the broken army around him retreat one by one, looking up at the sun, wiping the blood and tears on his face, picking up the military flag that had been stained with the blood of the horse, waving and roaring, "Exhaust the beard, assemble!" ”

The soldiers of the logistics department carried buckets of warm water to clean the armor of the soldiers who had returned from the Broken Army.

The water poured down from Li Xin's helmet, washing away the blood stains on his armor, and Li Xin took the opportunity to remove the torn cloak behind his back and wipe and clean his war horse.

Although he was already covered in armor, it was thin armor after all, and there were still traces of potholes left by weapons on the horse armor, and some places were broken.

"If our war horses are the same as Donghu's war horses, we will be able to annihilate twice as many enemies in the end." Li Xin wiped the horse armor and said to Wang Xu who came over.

"You've done a great job." Wang Xu smiled and pressed his arm, and took the cloak dripping with blood from his hand, "You can rest for a while, there will be a big battle later." ”

The corners of Li Xin's eyes twitched, bowed to Wang Xu, sat cross-legged on the ground, washed his hands, took the food handed by the reserve army and began to eat, and muttered, "In this battle, more than 10,000 enemies were destroyed, thousands of war horses were captured, and as for armaments, don't mention it, I didn't expect Donghu to use stone tools and wooden tools." ”

"More than 500 people were killed in the battle." Wang Xu lowered his eyelids, his heavy pupils hidden in the shadows, and sighed softly.
