……
Makino, on the occasion of Yin Zhou, this is a place with a special meaning.
"The journey of Yin Shang will be like a forest. Aiming at Muye, Wei Yu Hou Xing......"
Immersive, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but sound the high-spirited tune of "Daya Daming" in his mind, the battle of Muye was hazy in the ode and inscription of the Zhou people, and behind the magnificent poetry, it was the battle of "blood and pestle".
In the stories circulated by the Zhao family, prisoners, servants, and hundreds of workers ...... In just three days, Di Xin gathered a full 170,000 people from Chaoge Wangji! Zhao Wuxian seemed to be able to see that Yin Shang's white phalanx, which was completely a rabble, was standing solemnly in Muye, facing against the Zhou people with red flags.
At that time, the battle was fierce, as if the heavens and the earth were conjuring up a golden electric light, crossing the horses of Yin Shang; It seems to turn into a red black like fire, and the edge is in Ji Zhou's car...... A deafening symphony of screams and sonorous sounds.
The result was naturally a fiasco for Yin Shang, and Zhao Wuxian's ancestor Ji Sheng's elder brother Evil came to die in this field as a commander.
Today, the blood and corpses that once covered the fields have made the land more fertile, and the people of the Fan clan have carved out and turned the battlefield into mulberry fields, an idyllic scene, with only the mutilated spears and broken bones that the peasants have picked up from the fields tell the story of the war.
After six hundred years of silence in the land, there was another great war.
There are no hills next to Muye, and there are no dangers, and in the evening of this day, the army of Fan and Handan was followed by thousands of soldiers of the Zhao family. Those Zhao soldiers looked like they were both numerous and martial, and the cavalry wings were on both sides of the two armies. Relying on speed to harass and obstruct, the squad hunts the front and rear with short spears and hooked pawns.
After being chased two or three miles away by the enemy's infantry cavalry, Liu Xiang was forced to turn around and engage in battle.
"If you can survive until dark, you may have a chance to break through and leave......" Liu Xiang looked at the sunset that was about to sink in the west, took a deep breath, and began to fulfill his responsibilities. Command arrangement.
He stubbornly asked the Handan soldiers to send out 2,000 men each, divided into left and right wings, and Fan's chariot formation was deployed in the middle. There weren't many chariots brought by the Fan clan, after all, they were originally going with the intention of attacking the lonely city of Jianjin, who would have thought that Zhao Wuxian would suddenly appear on the north bank of the river like a divine soldier.
Therefore, Liu Xiang did not dare to let people take the initiative to rush to death, but set up a defensive four-martial force charging formation.
Time was limited, and although the chariots were used as a barracks, they were not arranged in an orderly manner. Rather, it was crooked, and it could be seen that the deployment was in a hurry.
The coalition front was a concave glaive, concave in the middle, with convex wings. Fan's archers, who were famous for their good archery, were deployed in the back of the car, and the Handan soldiers in armor were hurriedly pulled out and crowded in front of the car without any structure. Liu Xiang planned to let the archers hide behind the car and take turns to release arrows to suppress the entire line of Zhao soldiers on the opposite side, while the Handan soldiers on both wings held long soldiers and set up spears. Stop the terrifying Zhao cavalry assault.
Anyway, it will be delayed until the evening, and it will be dark. There is a chance to break through.
However, although Liu Xiang's idea was good, once the battle began, the tide of the battle began to take a sharp turn.
The nearly 1,000 Fan archers behind the car were horrified to find that the Zhao soldiers on the opposite side were not intimidated at all, especially the elite soldiers who were in the front row, and chased them a mile away. After a slight pause, he opened the formation and rushed over with his spear, and his momentum seemed unstoppable.
In this tense atmosphere, they did not care to wait for the order from the military officer, and the other party was still two hundred paces away. He hurriedly got up from the back of the car, drew his bow and shot a light arrow.
These archers recruited by the Fan clan were all good archers selected through village shooting around Chaoge, and in panic, their rate of fire increased greatly, and the dense arrows continued to shoot out, throwing them at the opposite Zhao army's front, and for a while, locust-like arrows appeared in the air.
Unfortunately, this makes the arrows less accurate and powerful.
Zhao soldiers soon entered within a hundred steps, there were many arrows, but there were not many dead, all the Zhao soldiers were wearing armor, many of them were still wearing armor, and the pointed light arrows threatened them, but it was not easy to shoot to death. Spearmen who were marching in the front row were constantly falling, but they were soon dragged to the rear, and they were treated and saved by the spirit magpie healers who accompanied the army.
Hundreds of Zhao cavalry gathered or scattered, and after a round of throwing, they galloped to the right flank to avoid the enemy's rain of arrows.
The soldiers formed a phalanx in units of 100 people, and the 20 phalanxes were arranged in two rows and forcibly pressed from the front. After entering the firing range, the platoon of armor soldiers holding the shield in front crouched, and a thousand crossbows behind the shield were aimed at the enemy who was leaning on the chariot barrier, thinking that he could rest easy.
In the next moment, with the dull sound of the crossbow machine, the screams on the front formed by the Handan armor soldiers had already resounded, and the two thousand Handan soldiers had lost nearly two hundred people, and the shields held in the first row were actually shot to pieces! Those hiding behind, the armor-piercing ones rolled on the ground, and the armorless ones were almost swept away, and the front line seemed to be thinned in an instant.
Handan's soldiers couldn't bear it, leaving a corpse in one place and then retreating to the car formation, but immediately, the coalition army's car line was also covered by a rain of arrows.
The crossbow bolts hit the body, and the clanging sound of raindrops, and the scattered arrows filled the ground around the feet in an instant, like a pile of feathered weeds growing in a field, and at the same time there was a wailing sound.
Liu Xiang, who was hiding in the back position, looked frightened, this time he hit the iron plate, in terms of long-range firepower, Fan's proud archers were so proud that they couldn't raise their heads by the dense crossbow machines and bows and arrows on the opposite side, and could only rely on blind projectiles to fight back, is this the terrible thing about Zhao's three-stage shooting and five-stage shooting?
Looking at the Zhao clan's warriors who were pressed up densely, Liu Xiang didn't know what to do, could they still block the subsequent sword, shield and spear?
At the same time, after the long-range threat of bows and arrows was gone, the Handan soldiers on both flanks of the coalition army also engaged the Zhao soldiers.
The battle situation on that side was not so one-sided.
……
Zhao Wuxian fought with the idea of letting the soldiers concentrate in the center to break through first, so the two wings were mainly composed of the right army of the Lu State, and in the right army with no more than 30% of the armor rate, there were also some bow teams from time to time.
Among them, the archers on the right wing were led by Yan Gao, a Lu scholar in his early thirties who had joined Confucius as a disciple ten years earlier. But unlike his fellow Yan Hui, Yan Gao had no interest in learning benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, and his only advantage was that Confucius praised him. It is tall and has long arms and is good at archery.
Confucius was good at shooting, and his face was taught by him, and his skills became more and more sophisticated.
He became famous in the village archery salute, and was drafted into the army many times as an archer commander.
Lu Hou Song for eight years. Yang Hu attacked Qi for Jin, and Yan Gao also participated. At that time, Yanghu was besieging the city gate of Yangzhou, and the soldiers were all sitting in a row, chatting and saying: "Yan Gao's hard bow weighs one hundred and eighty pounds!" "Everyone was different, and they took it and passed it on. At this time, the Yangzhou people opened the door to fight, the Lu army was in chaos, Yan Gao didn't have time to get back the hard bow, so he snatched someone else's soft bow and shot the arrow, and shot Qiu Zijun, the general of the Qi people, with a raised hand. Right in the middle of the eyebrows.
This is a great achievement, but it can't change the situation of the battle, that battle Lu Guoren was defeated and fled, Yan Gao didn't have time to bring back the enemy's head, but lost his big bow.
Because he likes to brag on weekdays, the doctor he is loyal to thinks it is a lie, and in the end, Yan Gao not only did not get a reward, but was punished. He was furious. He returned to his hometown to plough and hunt, and no longer enlisted. Until Zhao Wuxian became the ruler of the Lu State. issued a recruitment order, asked Ran Qiu and others to recommend talents in the township, and Ran Qiucai promoted this senior brother in the opposition.
Zhao Wuxian was very satisfied with Yan Gao's archery skills, so he let him serve in the right army, commanding the archers recruited from the Lu State, and serving as an auxiliary to the crossbowmen in battle.
The people of Lu have always sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. Timid and face-saving. Resisting the old enemy Qi is another matter, like most Lu people, Yan Gao has some resistance to running thousands of miles to fight in foreign countries, but under the encouragement of military merit, the Lu people from poor families flock to it.
This time, he followed Zhao Wuxian back to the Jin Kingdom. It is the farthest Yan Gao has walked in his life, although he can take a car from time to time, but like most of his fellow villagers in Lu Country, his already thick calloused feet have also ground up blisters, and his heart hurts, and he is even more miserable when it rains and hails along the way.
Fortunately, when recruiting soldiers in China, Zhang Zi, who was in charge of national affairs on behalf of the general, had already issued an order promising that each person who came to the west could be exempted from taxes for half a year at home, and get a chance to be exempted from medical fees and seek medical treatment in the city Chinese medicine hall.
In addition, there are Zhao occupied areas along the way, and two meals a day and night rest can be guaranteed, so they really can't keep up with the rapid march, and they can follow the rear team slowly, so they don't have too many complaints.
But after fighting the first enemy in this vast plain, I found that it was not as simple as I imagined.
Yan Gao went to attack Weiguo at the turn of autumn and winter last year, according to his experience, he didn't even need to send out soldiers, the right army and the Chinese army sent pawns to attack to make the Weiren's formation commotion, and then the large array reached seventy or eighty steps and threw a few arrows, and the Weiren were already in chaos. They approached thirty or forty paces further, and concentrated their shots on the front row with the iron heavy arrows that had been brought from Taoqiu and distributed to the good shooters, and the ordinary guards should have fled for their lives.
Even the elites sent by Dichuri will be close to collapse after the warrior phalanx is dispatched, and they only need to raise their spears to launch a single assault to slowly harvest the heads of those guards.
Yan Gao experienced more than ten battles in Jixi and Punan, but did not encounter any effective resistance at all. It was easier than his hunt in the mountains and forests, because the beasts would fight back frantically when cornered, and the frightened guards would only be captured.
But the Handan Jin people on the other side are different.
Yan Gao commanded his hundred-man bow team to shoot arrows at the opposite side, and he didn't stop in his hand, he held a six-jun big bow, one after another kept pulling the bow, and when he encountered a critical juncture, he didn't care about choosing between copper and light arrows and iron and heavy arrows, and shot at the opposite side when he caught it.
This kind of desperate fighting was something he had never encountered in his battle with the guards.
Although those Handan Jin people were chased in disarray, they were far from being dispersed, perhaps they were forced into a desperate situation, or they were shouting too much for the revenge slogan of the old lord, whether it was the archers who kept shooting at each other, or the armor soldiers who intersected with white blades, they all fought extremely fiercely.
He couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being a hegemon, these Jin people are really tenacious, much stronger than the patriots, and their combat power is ......comparable to that of our Lu army."
So far in the battle, Yan Gao's hundred-man bow team has lost six or seven people, and the proportion of casualties among the Lu soldiers in front is higher.
As an experienced veteran, he thought to himself: "If the other enemies of the Zhao clan also have such ability, this expedition will probably exceed the three-month period of requisition......
However, these Handan people were still a few points inferior to the right army of the Lu State, and as the rain of arrows fired by the enemy's central army stopped, the advantage began to slowly tilt towards the Zhao soldiers.
What's more, after fighting so many battles, Yan Gao also faintly has a sense of the overall situation.
If nothing else, the general was clearly trying to play frontal press, while the cavalry assaulted from behind. The patriots were killed by this trick, lost a large amount of land and cities in a few months, and never dared to go out of the city to fight in the field. However, the people of the Jin Kingdom have entrusted the blessing of the alliance with the general before, and they haven't tasted this taste yet, right?
Sure enough, as soon as Yan Gao's thoughts passed, behind the right flank of the enemy formation, an earth-shattering rumbling sound sounded......
