Volume 6 Song Ya 46, Shooting Deer Platform and the Ancient Great Wall
Er Wen listened to what Murong Trai said, and smiled slightly, he also knew that Murong Trai had left his hometown and was depressed, and if he wanted him to immediately face Yan Sabre and soldiers, it would be really difficult for Murong Trai. Huan Wen is not the kind of traitorous person, he will not coerce Murong Chui to kill Yan Jiang to show his loyalty, and Murong Chui will come to vote. It was already a serious blow to the morale of the Yan army. The significance of recruiting Murong Trai is not to get a good general, but to pacify and control the people of Yanjing after the victory of the Northern Expedition
Crazy Wen immediately ordered the herald to rush to Junyi, and ordered Crazy Xi to lead the crowd to force Rongyang, Haoyang was in a hurry, and Xi Luoteng must return to the division to save Mengyang, compared with Luyang and Xuchang, Rongyang is the largest stronghold of the Yan army in Henan, if Rongyang is lost. If the Yan army on the north bank wants to cross the river, they will face the danger of being severely attacked if they do not have a firm foothold
It was April 11 when the herald arrived at Danyi, and the 50,000 Beifu soldiers had been recuperating for half a month, and their morale was high. Leave the frame Shixiu, Xie Xuan to guard the lingering yang, at this time, the sailor of Xifu also from the clear water into the Yellow River and then by the sergeant to pull the fiber retrograde to the south bank of the Yellow River north of Junyi, this navy is commanded by Xie Xuan, there are more than ten large building ships with a load of ten thousand solutions, dozens of cowhide warships, and more than 10 clippers of 60 oars, and more than 100 other quiet warships, the building ship is equipped with a heavy weapon to shoot the rod for the war, as well as a rock-throwing car, Xie Xuan ordered the navy to patrol the Yellow River from Danyi to Mengyang, if it encounters the Yan army ferry, it will be sunk, and the Yan army cavalry is invincible. The naval army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the overlord of the river, so that. The Yan army in Hebei wanted to cross the river to come to help, and they would not be able to land in the areas of Rongyang and Danyi, and could only land from Gongxian in the upper reaches or Jiyang in the lower reaches. The Jin armies of Luoyang, Junyi, and Huangxu can be blocked separately, and what the Beifu army has to do is to first clear the Murong De, Murong Chen, and Fu Yan troops in Henan and Huaibei, and then cross the river to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Yan army, so that they will not worry about the back road being cut off and the grain road being intercepted.
Xi Luoteng and Murong Zhu, who had won a great victory in Changshe, rode eight thousand steps to Xuchang on the eighth day of the fourth month, and after Xuchangyan defeated Fu Yan by Tan Xuan in Baiyanpo, he retreated into the city, and Tan Xuan was ordered to attack Luyang. Na Yao and Zhu Xu led 10,000 foot soldiers to besiege Xuchang, and there were still more than 3,000 remnants of Fu Yan
Hearing that Xianbei reinforcements arrived, Di Yao divided the troops of 4,000 to refuse, met with the heavy cavalry of Xi Luoteng in the deer shooting platform, the deer shooting platform is said to be the Han Xian Emperor and Cao Cao, Liu Bei attacked the hunting and shooting deer place, the hills here are undulating, the terrain is relatively flat, it is the belligerent steel halberd of the cavalry charge, the heavy cavalry of the Yan army with sonorous iron armor is very deterrent, the Jin army infantry has the meaning of fear, and the morale of the reverie is low. shouted: "Xianbei white slave." Rats, too, you will form a formation, and watch me kill the enemy."
Deng Yao is a famous fierce general under Huan Wen's account. With Huan Shiqian and called the Xifu Double Tiger, his youth had been in the river to cut Jiao to eliminate the harm, the courage of the young people for the world to bully, he saw that the soldiers were afraid of the might of the enemy's armored cavalry, decided to first frustrate the Yan army's spirit, long their own army prestige, led twenty cavalry guards, straight to the Yan army cavalry position
The one who wore two armors and held the newly cast double-hook gun in Xifu, rode first, galloped to the Yan Array, and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy!" , the small twenty horsemen and guards crossed the horse and carried the spear, followed by the rush, like a sharp wedge straight into the Yan army cavalry array, everywhere they went, people turned over on their backs
The iron cavalry of the Yan army had never seen an enemy general who dared to lead a mere twenty horsemen into the formation, but he was inserted by Deng Yao and his men and horses from the southeast, piercing through the formation for dozens of zhang and killing dozens of enemies. Actually killed from the southwest corner, Deng Yao looked back at the guards behind him, only broke two people, and then led the crowd back. With a spear in his hand, he shouted: "Xianbei rats, but Er'er!" ”
Seeing that General Deng led 20 horsemen in and out of the Yan Formation, and if there was no one around, Di Yao couldn't help but cheer in unison, which shocked the earth and boosted morale. Eighty infantry battle formations advanced neatly, and the four thousand infantry vehicles dared to fight the Yan army and eight thousand cavalry
At this moment, Deng Yao heard a cavalry guard shouting: "General, there is an enemy general chasing." When I looked back in a hurry, I saw a white-faced, yellow-bearded, majestic swallow general rushing out like a galberd, holding a halberd in each hand. Stepping off the famous horse of Dragon City, chasing after him at a gallop. In the blink of an eye, he came behind a Jin army cavalry guard. The iron halberd in his left hand stabbed out like lightning, and the cavalry guard had no chance to resist dodging, and was pierced in the chest, and the iron halberd was picked up, and the corpse of the cavalry was thrown from the horse and smashed into another cavalry guard behind him
Seeing that the enemy general was so fierce, Di Yao killed his two cavalry guards in the blink of an eye, and was furious, hurriedly turned his horse, and shouted: "Who is the Yellow Bearded Slave? "While destroying the horse and moving forward to meet the enemy
The coming general is the first warrior of the Yan army, Xi Luoteng, in the rear army heard that the Jin general rushed into battle, chased after him angrily, and killed two Jin cavalry in one fell swoop, knowing that Na Yao was the commander of this Jin army, and shouted: "Great Yan Shangshu Lang Xi Luo Teng, come to take your rank." ”
Na Yao had never heard of Luo Teng's name, and sneered: "Yellow bearded slave, look at me with your head behind your elbow." "Spear prancing horse, and Xi Luo Teng double horse staggered, double hook gun straight to Xi Luo Teng's chest, by Xi Luo Teng's left hand halberd grid, the right hand halberd snake stabbed out like a letter, Deng Yao flashed, the two horses have been staggered, each with a horse, and then fight, Xi Luo Teng's two long halberds are like two volleys of dragons. The attack was like a storm, and this kind of halberd was usually held with both hands, but Xi Luoteng's arms were strong, and he could use the halberd easily, and he felt that he couldn't resist it, but the four thousand steps were behind him. He must not retreat, as soon as he retreats, the infantry battle formation is in chaos, the Yan army's iron cavalry rushes over, and his 4,000-foot chariot will be wiped out
The little side who struggled to resist Xi Luoteng's strong attack shouted: "Ma Fang, Buyun, return to the battle formation." No return! ”
Ma Fang and Buyun are Deng Yao's personal guards, and when they heard the words, they rushed back, and before they arrived in front of the battle, they suddenly heard the sergeants on both sides shouting in unison, and when they looked back, they were actually stabbed off the horse by Xi Luoteng
Xi Luoteng killed Deng Yao, raised the halberd in his left hand, and shouted: "Kill!" The five thousand Xianbei cavalry behind him shouted in unison, and the iron cavalry galloped to ravage the Jin infantry.
The main general will die in battle, and if the Jin army breaks and flees at this time, it will be a one-sided slaughtering field!
Ma Fang and Buyun have followed Na Yao for many years. Seeing that Na Yao died in front of the battle, he was shocked and angry, his eyes were about to split, and he roared angrily: "Revenge." Revenge, revenge for General Deng! ”
The four thousand Jin army experienced from great joy to great sorrow in a cup of tea time, trembling all over, but more bloody, half a step without retreating, and the Yan army heavy cavalry fought to the death, but the infantry rate was powerless to deal with the heavy cavalry no matter what, there was no chariot barrier, Xianbei heavy cavalry stepped into the Jin army infantry camp, and rushed to kill. The crossbow arrows, knives and guns of the Jin army did little damage to the heavy cavalry equipped with these armored horses, and often several Jin troops fought to kill a Xianbei cavalry, risking death to cut Yan and riding horses, and the second note was stabbed to death by the enemy's horse lance
Zhu Xu, who was outside Xuchang City, paid attention to the battle on the side of Shelutai at any time, and was shocked when he heard that Di Yao had died in battle. Hurriedly led the sergeant to come to the rescue, gathered the defeated troops of Deng Yao's department and retreated to the Shizhai Valley near the left of the shooting deer platform, stopped the valley mouth with a vehicle lift, and shot with a strong crossbow, which stabilized the position
Xi Luoteng was also amazed at the good battle of the Jin army chariot, the battle of shooting Lutai, the four thousand Jin army chariots in the main general died first, the unfavorable situation of the disparity in strength did not retreat, although nearly half of the casualties, but the Yan cavalry also had hundreds of casualties, although Xi Luoteng won but had a sense of frustration, now see that Zhu Xu's army is very neat, according to the danger of self-defense, if the strong attack will cause a large number of casualties, he is here to relieve the siege of Xuchang, do not want to fight with the Jin army. Immediately break the siege and enter the city. Seeing with Fu Yan, his heavy cavalry is still stationed in the shooting deer platform, breaking the siege without retreating, only waiting for Zhu Xu to lead his troops out of the stone village and then attack with cavalry, Zhu Xu can not hold out of this place not far from Yingchuan, three days within the ancestor Sima will send troops to help
Murong Zhu, who came to Xuchang with Xi Luo Teng, saw that the city wall of Xuchang was dilapidated and Fu Yan was less than 3,000 tired cars, so he discussed with Xi Luo Teng and Fu Yan to abandon Xuchang and return to Haoyang, as long as the army of Sima Murong Sheng crossed the river, at that time the superior forces were gathered to defeat the main force of Huan Wen, and the Jin army would flee to Huainan, and Junyi and Xuchang occupied by the Jin army could be recovered, as for Murong Chen of Luyang, because of its dangerous terrain and strong city, there were 12,000 elite soldiers under his command, and he should be able to hold on
Fu Yan was originally Murong Ke's favorite general, well aware of military reason, and said that he would not retreat, Xuchang is a rich land, if Xuchang is lost, the Jin army will be connected from Runan to Luoyang, and it will be very difficult to recapture it in the future.
Fu Yan is the general of Xuchang, so naturally what Fu Yan said shall prevail, and Xi Luoteng and Murong Zhu will garrison Xuchang. On the one hand, the city wall was repaired, and the city was ready to hold on
On the evening of the second day after the Battle of Shelutai, the general of Ning Yuan sent by Huan Wen led 10,000 troops to help Na Yao and Zhu Xu. Frame stone piety can be regarded as coming very quickly. But where is the cavalry fast, Zu Shiqian arrived a day later than Xi Luoteng, and when he heard that Na Yao died in battle, he was angry and regretted, and he wanted to attack the city immediately according to Huan Shiqian's temperament. However, Huan Wen had a strict order first, Mo fought with Xi Luoteng, and then defeated him when he withdrew from Xuchang and retreated to Yingyang
Xi Luoteng and Fu Yan in Xuchang City saw that Shi Qian and Zhu Xu led the crowd to retreat, but because the Jin army was overwhelming, they did not dare to go out of the city to pursue.
On April 23, Murong De of Haoyang sent an envoy to summon Luo Tengchi to aid Tiaoyang, and the troops of the Northern Jin Dynasty attacked Rongyang very urgently, and the Yellow River waterway was intercepted by the Jin Water Army, and the reinforcements on the north bank could not cross the river for reinforcement for a while, and could only cross the river downstream, and could not rush to Rongyang for a while
As soon as Fu Yan heard that Haoyang was in danger, he couldn't hesitate at this time, Rongyang was of course heavier than Xuchang, and he was about to sweep away the money, silk, grain and grass in Xuyi City, and followed Luo Teng and Murong Zhu to the north to reinforce Rongyang.
Songshi Qian led the troops to be stationed in the area of Changshe. When the Yan army passed, the ambush attack at the foot of the ancestor mountain, Xi Luoteng's heavy cavalry did not dare to fight, and rushed through, and Murong Zhu and Fu Yan's chariots were not killed or wounded
At this time, the 3,000 iron cavalry led by Chen Caozhi, Duan Si, and Ran Sheng, and the 5,000 foot soldiers led by Cai Guang and Su Xiao were waiting for Xi Luo Teng on the front line of the ancient Great Wall of Wei during the Warring States period south of Rongyang. This will be a duel between the heavy cavalry of the Jin and Yan armies. The news of Na Yao's death in battle has also arrived, Di Yao is a fierce general of the Jin army, and Deng Yao's death has dealt a big blow to the morale of the Jin army
So, who can beat Roten?
On April 28, Xi Luoteng led 4,500 heavy cavalry to the foot of the ancient Great Wall of Haoyang, although he knew that there would be a Jin army in front of him, but he was not afraid. He ordered his cavalry to connect his horses with iron chains, ten cavalry as a company, and when he met the Jin army, he rushed over and scattered the Jin army, so that Murong Zhu and Fu Yan's five thousand infantry could break through, this kind of iron chain chain horse was created in Murong Ke, when Murong Ke was trapped in a chain of horse formations, there were Jin infantry in front of Dan Yanyi, there were about hundreds of people, after these hundreds of people, there were a large number of Jin troops waiting for them, and Xi Luoteng shouted: "Change horses." "A group of cavalry quickly changed to armored horses. In a group of 10 people, they have to charge B
The forward team of the Jin army saw the Yan army's iron cavalry rushing and hurriedly retreated, and Xi Luoteng led his troops to rush and kill, but the first row of serial iron cavalry suddenly fell into the trap dug by the Jin army first, and the front row fell and the back couldn't stop it. Falling one after another, a large piece fell in the blink of an eye, and those Yan cavalry were bulky because of their heavy armor. After falling to the ground, it was not easy to stand up without support, and the infantry soldiers of Cai Guang and Su Cai, who were ambushed on both sides of the ancient Great Wall, rushed down on both sides, and shot vigorously with strong crossbows, this kind of yellow birch crossbow and iron cone arrows could penetrate the tough armor, and the Yan cavalry suffered heavy casualties
Xi Luoteng hurriedly ordered the sergeants to put on their arms and shields for defense, and when they were about to return fire to Cai Guang and the Soviet garrison, these Jin troops retreated, taking advantage of the rugged terrain of the ancient Great Wall, and the cavalry was not easy to pursue. After a while, he came to attack with a strong crossbow again, Xi Luoteng was angry, but he was helpless, at this time, he had to rush over as soon as possible, and it was the best policy to join the Rongyang defenders, but at this time, Murong Zhu and Fu Yan's foot soldiers of the rear army were attacked again, and the Yan army was in a hurry, and it was already a tired soldier, where was the enemy of the Beifu soldiers who had been recuperating for many days, after a fight, the Jin army retreated, and the Yan army had hundreds of casualties
At this time, it was already early afternoon, and if we could not rush through before dark, I am afraid that the whole army would be annihilated. Xi Luoteng and Murong Zhu, Fu Yan discussed, temporarily ignoring the infantry army, the cavalry broke through first, the plan has been decided, Xi Luoteng, Murong Zhu, Fu Yan three generals led the ride to the north, at this time the iron lock has been lifted, the chain of horses can not be used.
However, the Jin army did not forcibly intercept it, but only counterattacked with a small team of strong crossbows. The heavy cavalry following the three generals of Xi Luoteng was attacked by crossbow arrows, hidden piles, and tripping horses along the road, and the more they went north and south, the heavier the losses, and finally there were less than 2,000 horsemen left.
Siroteng is extremely fierce and not afraid of anti-joy. shouted: "Wu Kou is treacherous, he doesn't confront me head-on, and now he thinks I'm tired, so he shows up and looks down on me to kill the enemy." "A clip stepped down from the famous horse of Longcheng, hurricane up, and entered the Jin army's cavalry formation, but was killed several people in a row. No one was invincible, and nearly two thousand Yan iron cavalry followed closely, and the Jin and Yan iron cavalry began a big melee. At this time, the gap in equipment between the two sides was revealed, and the cavalry of the Yan army was all armed with a horse lance and an armored curtain. The Jin army's horse lance is longer, up to two zhang and three, and it is equipped with a long knife for short-distance fighting, and the Jin army's Mingguang armor is stronger and relatively light, and the Yan army is a tired division, which is not the opponent of the Jin army
Seeing that the battle was unfavorable, Xi Luoteng fought hard to get out of the encirclement, and led several horsemen to flee north, and Ran Sheng led a team of cavalry in hot pursuit, vowing to kill Xi Luoteng.
