Chapter 1635: Pound Break Qiang (I)
However, in the scout competition, the cavalry of the Qiang people is not much worse than the Xianbei cavalry, often a Xianbei scout can kill two or three Qiang cavalry, this situation, let Dian Ling angry, how strong the cavalry of the Qiang people is, back then it was even more so that the elite Han army did not dare to easily sweep the edge, but after a few years, if the cavalry of the Han army is far away in Lingxian in terms of strength, this situation makes Dian Ling angry.
The progress made by the Qiang people over the years is enormous, otherwise it would be impossible to gain such a large territory, and the cost of driving the Han people out of the city would be even greater.
"Mr. Zhang, I'll be tired later." Dian Ling's performance is still relatively polite.
Zhang Qi smiled: "This is what should be done in the future." ”
Since taking refuge, although Zhang Qi has been valued, but the status in the Qiang tribe is not very high, these Qiang tribe generals are extremely repulsive to the Han people, even if he is of great help to the Qiang tribe, it is difficult to change the status of the Han people in the Qiang people, in the face of such a situation, he has also worked hard, but over time he found that no matter how much he pays, he can not be recognized by the Qiang generals, and even Dian Ling does not trust him very much.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Qi gradually chose Mingzhe to protect himself, unless it was a critical moment, otherwise, he would not easily exit, and would definitely not compete with the generals of the Qiang people.
Many Qiang generals saw Zhang Qi appear beside Dian Ling, and a trace of anger flashed in their eyes.
Faced with such a gaze, Zhang Qi didn't care, he had already seen too many such gazes.
In fact, Zhang Qi is not easy, leaving his hometown to come to the tribe of the Qiang people, not only did he not get the respect he deserved after paying, but the Qiang people became more and more dissatisfied with him, if he met the soldiers of the Han army on the battlefield in his identity, there was absolutely no reason to survive, and he betrayed the Han people by doing so.
Not only did he not get the recognition of the Qiang people, but in the eyes of the Han people, he was also a traitor.
Sometimes, Dian Ling can also understand Zhang Qi's pain, and let Neat find a woman to marry in the lover tribe, which is also to make Zhang Qi have a greater sense of belonging to the Qiang tribe.
Zhang Qi did not have the strategy of Cheng Qian under the command of Beigong Feng, and he could not compare with Cheng Qian in terms of vision, otherwise, Zhang Qi would definitely not persuade Dian Ling to go out of the city to fight with the Han army.
The Han army came from afar to attack the city, the most anxious is the Han army, as long as the Han army is blocked outside the city, their goal has been achieved, as for the benefits of the Han army after breaking through, after the Han army retreats, they not only save the lives of the soldiers to a great extent, but also can get a lot of things, after the Han army leaves, the nearby villages are not still the territory of the Qiang people.
However, Zhang Qi was eager to express himself, and he had absolute confidence in the Qiang soldiers, and in such a situation, it was very likely that he would win the battle with the Han army, relatively speaking, the courage of the Qiang soldiers was not comparable to the Han army.
This is also the biggest reliance of the Qiang generals, they are inferior to the Han in terms of blades, armor and equipment, and they have to make up for it in other aspects.
After the two sides set up their positions, Pound shouted, "Beat the drums! ”
The rumbling of war drums suddenly sounded on the battlefield, the war drums can enhance the courage of the soldiers when they charge and kill, especially for the soldiers who have only been trained and have not gone through the real soldiers in the army, it has a lot of help, and the sound of war drums can make them forget their fears and forget the horror of the enemy.
The Qiang army and the Han army began to approach slowly, the bed crossbow of the former army, at this time began to be powerful, the bed crossbow is a sharp weapon for long-range combat, which can cause huge casualties to the enemy at a distance, and the advantage of the bed crossbow can provide greater convenience for the next battle of the army.
On the battlefield, the role of the first to seize the enemy is crucial, especially when the strength of the two sides is not much different, the side that gains the advantage first will have more morale.
The bed crossbow, such a sharp weapon on the battlefield, in such an engagement, the bed crossbow may only be able to fire two rounds, and then withdraw from the battlefield, but the effect of two rounds of crossbow arrows is huge, not only can improve their morale, but also can hit the fighting spirit of the enemy.
With the order of the captain who commanded the bed crossbow, the soldiers who were responsible for controlling the bed crossbow released the crossbow arrows in their hands one after another.
The simple spear-like crossbow arrows were invincible on the battlefield, and even if the Qiang soldiers stepped forward cautiously, the shields in their hands were so fragile that they could not provide them with protection.
Under the crossbow arrows, not only the shield was broken, but even the soldiers behind the shield soldiers watched as the foot soldiers in front of them kept retreating under the drive of the crossbow arrows, crashing into him, and then retreating again.
The bed crossbow caused a lot of turmoil in the front army of the Qiang people, and after receiving the order, the Qiang army launched a crazy attack on the Han army, and only after getting close to the Han army could these feared things on the battlefield be completely useless.
Two rounds of crossbow arrows made the Qiang people pay the price of more than 200 soldiers on the road of charging, and more than 200 soldiers fell on the road of charging without even having time to look at the faces of the Han soldiers, which is unfair to the Qiang people, but it is the advantage of the Han people on the battlefield.
Just after the Qiang infantry approached his own army, Pang De led the cavalry out, and his purpose was very simple, that is, at the beginning of the war, to contain more strength of the Qiang people, so that the Qiang people had to divide more troops when they clashed.
This way, you can reduce the pressure even more when you lead your foot soldiers on the frontal battlefield.
The power of nearly 3,000 cavalry charging together attracted the attention of the Qiang soldiers, and they knew the strength of the cavalry on the battlefield, and the Qiang people were known to be crazy on the battlefield, because they dared to resist the cavalry charge with their flesh and blood, but if it was not possible, no one was willing to do this, and the Qiang soldiers also knew how to cherish their lives.
The Han army had such a choice, which was obviously unexpected by Zhang Qi and Dian Ling, but they had already discussed before, as long as the Han cavalry appeared, they would use their own cavalry and foot soldiers to involve the strength of the Han cavalry.
A thousand cavalry with three thousand foot soldiers went in the direction from which the cavalry came, their purpose was to be able to contain the strength of these cavalry on the battlefield.
Without Pang De's order, the Xianbei cavalry have replaced the blades in their hands with bows and arrows, on the battlefield, the cavalry gives damage to the enemy, relying on the bow and arrow to use properly, compared to the role of rushing to kill will not be too weak, the cavalry of the first than is best at riding archery, and now with the help of stirrups, they have made greater progress in riding and shooting.
