The battle of Liangzhou is gradual**, brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, the recommended votes in their hands are all given to the old and new.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In Wuwei County in March, the grass is tender and the wind is gusting.
This was originally one of the two most beautiful seasons of the year. But under Wuwei City, there seemed to be a haze in the sky, and the warm sun was covered by this haze, shrouded in a thick layer of murderous aura.
Xu Shu, standing in the city tower.
At the moment when ten thousand arrows flew together, the wind swept up the moon-white crane and fluttered.
The arm that held Hayama tightly and pointed firmly in front of him, did not move in the air. That scene is really handsome and cool!
At the same time, ten thousand arrows fell like a waterfall.
The powerful penetrating power of the triangular arrow is simply unhindered.
Not everyone in Qianghu can wear iron armor, and more of them are covered by cloth clothes. Such a rudimentary defense could not stop the whistling arrows. The sharp three-edged arrow tore the skin and sank straight into the body. One, two, three...... When a person is filled with arrows in an instant, it looks terrifying.
The cavalry fell with men and horses, and could not even make a sound.
Hundreds of Qianghu cavalrymen and horses were planted at the same time, and the scene was also extraordinarily spectacular.
Rain of arrows, it's been falling.
More Qianghu cavalry fell in pools of blood.
Unlike ordinary wolf's tongue arrows, after the three-edged arrows drilled into the body, the blood flowed out quickly along the blood trough, and it could not be cured at all. Many of the Qianghu cavalry did not die immediately after they fell to the ground. They were either on their backs to the sky, or they were crushed by their horses, or they were prostrate on the ground. The body convulsed as the blood flowed......
The grass outside Wuwei City was instantly stained red with blood.
Yue Ji also did not expect that the arrow array of the Hexi Army would be so fierce and fierce. The penetrating power of the triangular arrow is far from being comparable to the wolf's tongue arrow. With the same force, it can shoot down the wolf's tongue arrow, but for the triangular arrow, it can only deviate from the direction. The slender arrow pierced the body. The red stem and white feathers are particularly dazzling in the sun.
The Qianghu cavalry is getting closer and closer.
Seeing that they were about to break through the area covered by the rain of arrows, they suddenly heard the rapid bangzi sound at the head of Wuwei City.
Immediately after, a dense pile of items flew out of the city.
It is a clay pot......
The clay pot fell to the ground and shattered, and all kinds of strange-shaped thistles rolled out of the jar, which were scattered all over the ground in an instant. The war horse galloped, stepped on the thistle terrestris, and suddenly let out a terrible scream, and fell to the ground with a plop.
The cavalry in front fell to the ground, but the cavalry behind did not know what was happening, and the offensive could not help but pause.
At this time, the banner on the head of the city shook again.
The general of the Hexi Army hissed and roared: "Cao crossbow, shoot flat!" ”
The archers, who were originally projectiles, suddenly changed the way of archery, from projectile to flat shooting, a rain of arrows flattened the ground, and roared to imagine the Qianghu cavalry. The first row of arrows shot arrows and immediately crouched; The second row of archers fired horizontally; Then the third row. The three rows of archers, without any movement from beginning to end, kept undulating in place and firing their arrows.
In the blink of an eye, countless Qianghu cavalry soldiers died under Cao Gong's arrow.
With such a dense rain of arrows, even if Xu Shu observed it on the top of the city, he couldn't help but give a chill......
"Isn't that a little cruel?"
He turned his head and asked his entourage behind him.
"Well, it's cruel."
He has ten white camel servants, who are specifically responsible for protecting Xu Shu.
Speaking of which, his subordinates are also battle-hardened masters. However, they had never seen such a ferocious rain of arrows.
Can't rush up at all......
This is also the theory of 'long-range coverage' put forward by Cao Peng when he was training the Hexi Army.
More or less, somewhat similar to the firepower coverage of later generations. However, there were no thermal weapons in those days, so the best way to do this was to strengthen the power of the bow and arrow. Cao Gongya is specially designed for Cao Peng's theory of 'remote coverage'.
Long-range coverage requires the archers to take turns firing and set up the arrows in their hands in the shortest possible time.
Also, keep a distance from the opponent, so when the opponent shortens the distance, the archer needs to learn to move the arrow. Of course, this requires very rigorous training, and it is not possible to achieve the goal in one time.
First, it is stationary archery, and at the same time, other means are used to assist.
For example, firing thistles has slowed down the cavalry's impact...... To this end, Cao Peng handed over 10,000 people to Hao Zhao to train archers. From the pacification of Hexi to the present, it took a full four months to train 5,000 people, and it was not enough for Hao Zhao to be completely satisfied. This time to conquer Wuwei County, Cao Peng brought out all 5,000 archers.
In Wuwei County alone, there are as many as 3,000 people.
The biggest problem with this long-range coverage arrow array theory is the speed at which the arrows are consumed.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Shu roughly calculated that he might have consumed at least nearly 20,000 Cao Gong arrows......
And in the entire Wuwei City, there are only 50,000.
But the effect is still very obvious, and the lethality is also particularly amazing.
Xu Shu shook the feather fan lightly, and suddenly sighed, "Since it's already cruel, let's be even more cruel." ”
Pass my order, after ten rounds of continuous fire, the cavalry will attack! ”
Ten rounds of continuous shooting, that is, to shoot out the remaining 30,000 Cao Gong arrows. Don't underestimate these ten rounds of shots, for archers, these ten rounds are enough to exhaust all their strength. After 50,000 arrows, how many people will still be alive in front of them? This question is not something that Xu Shu needs to consider! He only knew that after these 50,000 arrows were fired, the Qianghu cavalry basically had only one ending, that is, they were defeated and defeated......
"Tribulus terrestris, prepare!"
At the head of Wuwei City, the flag swayed.
"Put!"
Another black shadow rose from the sky of Wuwei City, flying down like locusts.
It's still a clay pot, but it's wrapped in a layer of burning hay outside, and the Qiang Hu general raised his hand to smash the clay pot, but I didn't expect that this time, the clay pot was not only tribulus terrestris, but also half a jar of tung oil. As soon as the clay pot shattered, the tung oil suddenly burned, and instantly stuck to the bodies of those Qianghu cavalrymen, and the thistles were scattered all over the ground, burning flames everywhere. The horses were frightened, and Xi Yu neighed, and some of them overturned the cavalry under the horses at once.
A sea of fire, a rain of arrows......
Outside the city of Wuwei County, it is almost the area of Shurachang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of war drums came from the head of Wuwei County!
Two hundred cowhide drums were placed on the city, and although it was March, the wind was still a little cold. But there are 400 big men, shirtless, with a large cowhide belt around their waists, holding drumsticks, and beating war drums in a round. The sound of the drums, slow at first, echoed through the heavens and the earth, and even the shouts of killing outside the city were drowned out, making people feel their scalps tingling...... At least, Yueji has a hairy feeling. The entire military formation of the Qianghu cavalry army was completely chaotic, and at least three or four thousand people fell on the battlefield, describing it as miserable. Obviously, I have seen Wuwei County, but I just can't get close to it and can't touch it!
That feeling, it's really terrible!
If it was said that the Qianghu cavalry could still charge with a brave spirit at the beginning, then later, the feeling of being close at hand, but far away like the end of the world, became stronger and stronger. More and more people are dying, and the Qiang people have collapsed!
When the war drums sounded, countless Qiang people invariably restrained their war horses, confused and fearful together.
The fiasco of Fengmingtan coincidentally appeared in everyone's minds.
Their opponents are not the Qiang people of the Yadan tribe!
It was the group of Han soldiers who came out of Hexi and killed people without blinking......
Suddenly, the drums of war became rapid, as if to order a charge. Yue Ji's scalp was numb, he turned his horse's head and yelled: "I've been tricked, run!" ”
A gust of wind struck, sweeping down Yueji's Chinese army.
Seeing the big silk disappear, the Qiang people were suddenly in chaos...... Run!
But is it too late?
"Mustard the tiger, follow me!"
A young general, from the high slope outside Wuwei City, galloped and rushed to the front. Behind him, eight hundred black-armored iron horsemen, followed closely behind. This cavalry army, like a black torrent, swept in, and instantly rushed into the chaotic army.
On the other side, there was also a black-faced young man, dancing with a halberd and rushing out on a horse.
Behind him, a big banner fluttered, and the four big characters 'Little Evil Comes to the Cow' were written on it. The black-faced young man was none other than Niu Gang.
Cao Zhang and Niu Gang, each with 800 iron horsemen, were ordered to wait for orders on Chenggaoqiu.
The Tiger Rider is Cao Zhang's guard.
Cao Zhang was praised by Cao Cao for Huang Xu'er, but in Hexi, people sang the name of Huang Xuhu. He has long been envious of his father's tiger and leopard riding. And after Cao Peng formed the White Camel Army, Cao Zhang's eyes were even more red. So he simply ordered Huang Xu'er to name his guard the Tiger Rider. As for Niu Gang's name of 'little evil', it was also given by Cao Zhang.
Anyway, Niu Gang's uncle is Dian Wei, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a little evil.
As for whether they agreed or not, Cao Zhangcai would not bother...... That's what I call it anyway, what can you do?
The two teenagers, like two fierce tigers, led two teams of cavalry to rush forward.
Youqiang rode forward to stop him, but he saw Cao Zhangniu Gang and the two dancing guns and halberds, and they were not afraid. Cao Zhang's gun is fast and powerful. In history, he has the power to crack tigers and leopards. Although Cao Peng is now practicing martial arts, he later learned bear fighting with Gan Ning, don't look at his young age, this strength is so great that even adults, such as Li Dian and so on, cannot be compared.
Niu Gang even has a divine power.
He practiced martial arts, and he was not as smart as Cao Zhang, so Cao Peng didn't teach him any clever tricks, all of which were the kind of tricks that fought hard and won with strength. The Qiang cavalry is good at riding and shooting, but Cao Zhangniugang's mounts are all equipped with high-saddle stirrups. With this artifact, it is impossible to stop the idle riders. And Yue Ji, the first fierce general of Xiqiang, has been frightened at this time, where can he still care about fighting with Cao Zhangniugang, and it is too late to run!
"Those who offend my heavenly power will be punished even if they are far away!"
"Even if it is far away, it will be punished!"
Cao Zhang roared on his horse, and the big gun shook, killing the Qiang cavalry and bleeding like a river.
This battle was later known as the Battle of Tono. It not only proves the feasibility of Cao Peng's theory of 'long-range coverage' with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, but also represents the growing maturity of Cao Peng's military thinking (the historian said). At the same time, the battle of Duye also represents the second generation of Cao's children and officially stepped onto the stage of history.
Originally, Cao Peng and Cao Zhen all belonged to the second generation of Cao.
But because of the age of these two people, and Cao Peng's reputation is too high, many people in later generations never regarded him as the second generation of Cao, and even put him in the position of the Cao generation. After all, Cao Peng is the teacher of Cao Zhang and Cao Chong, and it seems not an exaggeration to say that he is the 'Cao Generation'. And just when Cao Zhang was charging into battle in Duye, Cao Pi had just packed his bags, took Sima Yi, and left Wulu City with great interest, and rushed to the direction of Zhongqiu County......
At the end of March of the ninth year of Jian'an, the battle of Yecheng officially kicked off!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was early summer.
Guzang City, cool breeze.
After a short period of rectification in Xiutu County, Cao Peng led 4,000 soldiers and horses and arrived outside Guzang City!
Four thousand!
He took only four thousand men......
His idea is self-evident: the battle of Guzang does not require him to bother at all, and 4,000 people are enough to capture it.
Insolent, insolent!
I don't take Ma Tie in my eyes at all.
In fact, whether it is in terms of record or reputation, Ma Tie is indeed not qualified to compete with Cao Peng. But you can't be so obvious! Ma Tie is also a promising young man with ideals and ambitions. Your Cao Peng's age is not much older than Ma Tie, such a naked discrimination, it's just unbearable for uncle, and aunt can't bear it.
Ma Tie jumped like thunder, ignoring Ma Cheng's obstruction, and led the troops into battle.
Since he went out of the city to invite the battle, as the Taishou of Hexi and the general of Beizhonglang, Cao Peng, who did not take Ma Tie 'in his eyes' at all, naturally would not refuse to fight. Cao Peng ordered Jia Xing and Wang Shuang to sit in the army, and then rushed out of the gate with 300 white camel soldiers.
Under the city of Guzang, Cao Peng circled on a prancing horse.
The lion and tiger beast rhubarb also seemed to be infected, and it roared wildly, letting out a roar like a dragon's roar.
Cao Peng, not even draped.
Dressed in a white robe, with a halberd in his hand, he showed off his might.
Horses are crazy, people are even more crazy!
That arrogant arrogance was enough to make Ma Tie bite his steel teeth and fight the bull angrily.
This is a fighter!
The two sides unanimously chose to fight.
Ma Tie was under the flag gate and said sharply: "Who will take the life of the Cao thief and dog with me?" ”
"The last will go!"
Before Ma Tie's voice fell, he saw a general, twisting his gun on his horse and rushing out of the flag gate. Ma Tie was overjoyed...... This person's name is Lan Shan, a general of Wuwei, who is brave in killing and quite meritorious. Blue Mountain rode his horse, rushed to the front of the two armies, pointed a big gun at Cao Peng, and shouted: "Your general Lan is here, and the thief will be tied up if he doesn't get off his horse, otherwise he will take the dog's life." ”
Who is Blue Mountain?
Cao Peng showed a confused look on his face.
Among the generals in Xiliang, he only knew Ma Chao Pang Ma Dai...... Well, Ma Tie seems to be a little famous, and it really took Cao Cao a lot of effort to protect Ma Teng in the romance. But which end of the Blue Mountains is it?
Since you're out, you're welcome!
Cao Peng didn't bother to talk to the blue mountain, his feet knocked the flying tiger toad, and the lion and tiger beast hissed, and its long body rushed out, like an arrow off the string.
"The nameless dare to be arrogant."
Cao Peng held the halberd in one hand and roared, and the halberd danced in mid-air with a cold arc, humming ...... Split towards the Blue Mountains.
