No. 671 Brave the snow to break the enemy

"Although this tribe has surrendered, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? The lord of this tribe has tens of thousands of people, and it is inevitable that there will be a fine work of the Yishan Department. So, what we need to do now is to kill the Yishan tribe as quickly as possible and catch everyone off guard. Nangong Hao said in a deep voice, "Immediately let the soldiers prepare for dinner, and continue to act later." ”

The army rested for a while, replenished some of its needs, and replaced some wounded horses. The 20,000 cavalry marched again, but this time, all of them were disguised. All the horses were covered with a white coat, and the cavalrymen were all covered with a large white cloak.

This was prepared before the army was dispatched, and although the enemy was less prepared in heavy snow, the difference in color was also very easy to reveal when marching in the snow. Therefore, with this white robe and cloak, the whole army is like a protective color, blending in with the snow.

20,000 cavalry, light and light cavalry. One is the cavalry of the first town, and the other is the cavalry of the Eight Banners, all of which are elite knights. Under the strict training methods of the Zhao army, these cavalrymen did not have much difficulty marching in the snow. The 20,000 people were divided into several units, separated by miles from each other, and they made their way through the snow. The howling cold wind once again made the sound and figure of the cavalry difficult to detect.

Moreover, these cavalry went out day and night, picking roads that were not easy to expose, and the team sent a large number of professional scouts to reconnoiter each time they marched, and when the 20,000 army encountered a small tribe, Nangong Hao only had one word. If "kill" is two words, it is "kill all".

Anyone who stands in the way of the way will see people kill people, see tribes slaughtering tribes, and never leave a single living mouth to expose their tracks, because they are getting closer and closer to the largest Yishan region. The Yishan Department is a large tribe with more than 100,000 tribal warriors, which is by no means comparable to ordinary small tribes. If the other party is really prepared and strikes back, then these 20,000 people will suffer.

These small tribes, in fact, are not independent tribes, like the villages of the Tuhan people, they are just small settlements separated from the major tribes and convenient for nomadic herding or farming. But one way or another, they are the enemy. Therefore, in this cold winter of wind and snow, in various places in the central part of the North Cypriot, a special march of the end was launched. For countless nights, those small tribes and small villages that had fallen asleep suddenly rushed to the village with large areas of swift horses' hooves, and countless Great Zhao cavalry broke into the village. The soldiers of Zhao did not show mercy to the people of these tribes.

In the face of those cries and begging, if the foot soldiers can answer it, if it is located in the rear, then it is okay to be accepted by Zhao Jun. Otherwise, the officer of the Zhao army would only coldly order, "Don't let go of a living mouth!" "The slaughter will only, and at the end it will be set on fire, and this qiē will be burned in ashes.

Not only Nangong Hao here, but in these few dark nights, in the entire central region of Beisai, one after another the large and small tribes that blocked the path of the Zhao army's advance, were drowned in blood, or surrendered, or perished.

"General Nangong, we have come to the residence of the Yishan Ministry, this area within a radius of two hundred miles is the base camp of the Yishan Ministry, and fifty miles away in front is the station of their tribe."

After two days and two nights of marching, we finally arrived at our destination. It's a flat river, and it's a rich plain. Several small rivers run from north to south, bringing a source of growth for all things here.

It was already very difficult for the Zhao army to march as before, especially now that it was wartime, there were still a large number of people near Pyongyang, and there would always be countless people passing along the road at any moment.

"The army rests, and the horses continue to investigate!" Fifteen miles away from Yishan, Nangong Hao ordered the army to rest. Here, it is already very close to the Yishan Department, and the raid, this is the most suitable place for the cavalry to set off. If you get closer, you will be discovered by the Iyama Department.

After the investigation of the horses, the Yishan Department had no defenses at all, and the tribal herdsmen were sheltering from the wind and snow at home. In addition, there were no strong defenses in this Yishan area, and there were no defensive posts.

An hour later, the commanders of the 20,000 army gathered together and waited for Nangong Hao's military order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Yishan Department in front of us is our ultimate goal this time, and it is also the ultimate goal of our entire army. After killing the Yishan Division, then the battle of our Zhao army in the land of Beisai will be completed. Our Beisai army wants to use this as a New Year's gift and dedicate it to King Zhao. Therefore, in this battle, we can only win and not lose, we can't let Yishanbu be aware of it, and we can't let Yishanbu escape. ”

"This time we are suddenly attacking, this Yishan Department has not yet been prepared, so the odds are mine. Our army was divided into four and marched out in four directions, attacking from north to south, so that the people of the Yishan Department did not know how many men and horses our army sent, causing the scene of our army swarming on the north road, so that they did not dare to resist. ”

Nangong Hao smiled disdainfully, and said in a deep voice: "This small Yishan Department also dares to fight against my Da Zhao, I don't know whether to live or die, and I still intend to form an anti-Zhao alliance?" Just because they can't even survive the cold winter, or the alliance? Today, we will let them know that a barbarian tribe like them is vulnerable in the eyes of my Great Zhao. ”

"Check your equipment and get ready for battle!"

Nangong Hao gave an order, and the 20,000 army was divided into four, killing from the north and approaching Yishan.

"Knock...... Knock knock......" The sound of horses' hooves gradually became clearer and clearer in the cold wind, and the earth began to tremble slightly. Now that they have reached their destination, the army no longer needs to suppress its speed. At this moment, it was the time when an extremely fast speed was needed to crush any possible resistance of the Yishan Tribe.

The loud sound of "boom" finally made the people of Qianhu stationed in the north of the Yishan Department discover it, and before they could report it to the big tent of Qianhu in the middle, the Zhao army had already entered the Qianhu tribe.

In the wind and snow, the louder and louder sound of horses' hooves and a miserable howl woke up the Qianghu people who were still staying at home, and the quick reaction naturally understood what was going on, and immediately picked up his weapon and turned over and walked out of the tent. But there are many more ordinary herders, panicked and somehow.

And the Zhao army that was killed would not give Yishan a chance to react, in the north of this Huyan Qianhu, more than 5,000 elite horsemen shouted, and they rode their horses and galloped wildly, rushing straight in. On one side was the unsuspecting Yishan Huyan Qianhu, and on the other side was the elite cavalry of the Zhao army, and the morale was victorious, and the battle immediately showed a one-sided situation.

While charging, the Zhao army set fire to it, all the way to the most central Yishan Wang's tent. Although the leader of the Yishan tribe did not claim the title of king, the status of their leader was equal to that of the king. Among the four divisions of Huyan Qianhu, Hutu Qianhu, Helu Qianhu and Fenglu Qianhu, the raging fire ignited almost at the same time, and the terrible screams resounded throughout the four fields.

The Zhao army of the Fourth Route only rushed to kill, killed a soldier of the Yishan tribe who resisted, burned all the tents of the Yishan tribe, and drove all the thousands of people of the Yishan tribe to the four fields. In short, the people who stand in the way have become ghosts under Zhao's saber......

When the Zhao army entered several thousand-household branches in the north of the Yishan Division, the king's tent in the center got the news. Hu Cong ordered all the departments to gather people to defend, and at the same time inspected the situation of the Zhao army's attack.

"Tell me, why is Zhao Jun here? According to the inspection of the warriors, this Zhao army is a large army. Could it be that all the northern divisions have been conquered by the Zhao army? Hu Cong said with a gloomy face.

"Leader, this time the Zhao army braved the snow to set out, but I am afraid of ...... Now is not the time to discuss this, the top priority is to block the attack of the Zhao army first. Qianhu Lou Yu said with a solemn face.

"Report ...... Huyan Qianhu, Hutu Qianhu, Helu Qianhu and Fenglu Qianhu were defeated, two of the four adults were killed, and two were captured by Zhao Jun. ”

"Bastard, waste, twenty or thirty thousand warriors from the four tribes, they didn't even hold on to a stick of incense. Hu Lie, how are all the ministries assembled? ”

"50,000 warriors have been assembled, but I will be attacked, and the soldiers are only afraid of ......"

"Needless to say, at this moment, our Yishan Department is at a time of life and death, if we can't talk about the defeat of the Zhao army, our Yishan Department will be gone. The order was passed down, and the army took this tent as the center, and the whole army assembled to prepare for battle. Today, I want to see how powerful this Zhao Jun is. Hu Cong said coldly.

The Zhao army broke through the four thousand tribes of the Yishan Department, killed, surrendered, and drove away more than 30,000 enemy soldiers, and drove away tens of thousands of people, and finally entered the central region, which is where the king's tent is located.

"Oh? Ready? However, in front of the cavalry of my Zhao army, you barbarians who don't even have armor are like mustard! Looking at the dense enemy soldiers in front of the army, Nangong Hao sneered.

Although there were tens of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side, there were still many uncavalry, all of whom had fled back from the front. The people of Yishan, who were driven away by the Zhao army, also caused the cavalry formation on the opposite side to start a riot. No, it should be said that the cavalry of this Yishan division did not have any formation at all, and they were just crowded together casually.

"General, I got the news that General Qin's Southern Route Army has appeared from the south, and it is still thirty miles away from here." At this moment, Nangong Hao also got the first good news, and the five-way army appeared again.

"Great, send someone to deliver a message to them immediately. Let them enter from the southern part of the Yishan Division, and we will attack from the front and back, and we must not let this Yishan army escape. ”

No, we can't let the Yishan cavalry reorganize the cavalry under their command, our 20,000 troops are enough to disrupt them.

"Driving the ......" Nangong Hao saw that among the cavalry of the Yishan Division, some people were constantly rectifying the soldiers, and immediately slapped the horse out of the battle, raising his spear in front of the formation and shouting, "Da Zhao Iron Cavalry!" ”

"Invincible!"

"Great Zhao Tieqi!"

"Invincible!"

The 20,000 cavalry of the four phalanxes of the entire Zhao army responded to the promise with a bang, and the momentum shook the sky.

Nangong Hao turned his horse slowly, only to see the horses in front of him, and the Yishan cavalry was a little commotion. Nangong Hao smiled coldly, and slammed the iron gun in his hand forward, and a sharp long howl instantly resounded in the sky: "Da Zhao's soldiers, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In the overwhelming shouts, Nangong Hao took the lead in riding out. Behind him, the iron cavalry suddenly surged out like a flood that broke the embankment, and killed the Yishan cavalry without fear.

"Damn! Order, the army rushes and kills! Seeing the Zhao cavalry coming, Hu Cong's face changed suddenly, and he roared fiercely. If the cavalry is dispatched, if he is still unmoved, then the cavalry under his command will be completely finished.

Under Hu Cong's military order, Hu Lie, Cangtou, Mangxu, and He Yu led the army to meet the Zhao army. There were far more soldiers in the Yishan Department than in the Zhao army, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 people with the foot soldiers.

"Woo Woo ......"

In the cavalry formation of the Zhao army, arrows swept into the air, covering the dense and surging Yishan cavalry.

"Damn! Avoid! The four thousand households and the commanders and centurions under their command and other officers roared fiercely. However, this Yishan Department was attacked by a surprise attack, and there was no defense against arrows at all, plus they were all clustered together, and the lethality brought by Zhao Jun's arrows was not small.

Although some officers reminded that many of the Yishan soldiers curled up their entire bodies as much as possible, shrunk on horseback, and used the weapons in their hands to block the incoming arrow clusters, they ...... There are too many arrows, and they are too fierce, and they can dodge one or two, but they can't dodge three or four......

"Puff puff ......"

Sharp arrows poured like rain, the mournful neighing of the war horses resounded in the sky in an instant, and dozens of cavalry galloping to the mountains fell down. Fortunately, the vitality of war horses is longer than that of cavalry, so there are not many war horses falling, but the Yishan cavalry fell more than 3,000 people in these two rounds of arrow rain.

However, the nightmare of the Yishan cavalry had only just begun.

"Prepare for the front throwing gun! Rear arrow suppression! Nangong Hao yelled.

Suddenly, the cavalry soldiers of the first town in the front drew their sharp throwing spears from behind their horses, and the sharp spears reflected the cold glow of Senran.

"Projection!" Nangong Hao shouted violently and shot the throwing gun in his hand fiercely.

"Tweet ......"

A piercing sound resounded in the sky above the battleplace, and the next moment, rows of sharp throwing spears had swept up from the Zhao army's cavalry array, intertwined into a forest of death in the air, and then pierced down viciously with a sharp scream. Subsequently, the two phalanxes in front of the cavalry of the Zhao army were divided into two, and the two wings of the Yishan were cut obliquely, and they passed diagonally from the side.

"Buzz ......" Hu Lie raised his gun and fired a throwing gun that was shooting at him, and looked up to the sky and howled miserably: "Dodge, dodge!" ”

However, how did the Yishan cavalry dodge? The dense cavalry of the Yishan Department is simply the best target, and what is even worse is that this time the air raid is no longer a light wolf tooth feather arrow, but a sharp throwing spear weighing more than ten catties!

"Boom ......"

Qianhu Cangtou had just struck a throwing spear with a scimitar, and before he could adjust his body, another sharp throwing spear fell in the air with a heavy inertia, lightly penetrating the block of the leather armor that Qianhu was equipped with, and then penetrated it and pierced deeply into the head of the latter Yishan cavalryman.

"What a powerful weapon, Yishanbu...... Finished! There was only one thought in his mind, and then he fell into darkness. The dignified and Yishan Thousand Households were killed by the guns all the time, but unfortunately, it is a pity......

"Puff puff ......"

The crisp sound of sharp weapons piercing the body cavity was endless, and the mournful neighing of the war horse and the screams of the soldiers were intertwined in an instant, Hu Liehuo looked back and saw the Yishan warriors surging behind him were falling in rows, and the living heroic soldiers turned into cold corpses in an instant.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Keyishan didn't know the number of Zhao cavalry's offensive routes at all, and as a result, in a single salvo of 10,000 cavalry, at least 6,000 Yishan cavalry were defeated. In an instant, there was a huge gap in the middle of the Yishan cavalry.

"The cangtou is also dead!" Qianhu Hu Lie looked at the subordinates around him who followed him in the past, most of them died here, and after the two Qianhu in the forward also fell, Hu Lie's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and the furious anger rolled endlessly in his chest like a raging fire.

"Kill! Kill me! Hu Lie yelled bitterly.

"Puff puff ......"

"Sigh the law ......"

The blood splattered, the mournful neighing of the war horse resounded again, and after the front part of the Zhao army circled a big circle from both sides, it was inserted diagonally again, and together with the rear army, it was inserted into the middle of the enemy army. The cavalry in front of the Zhao army once again showed the big killing weapon of the throwing spear, and the Yishan cavalry, who had no armor, did not even swing the scimitar in his hand, and was pierced through the body by the throwing spear that came again and flew away from the horse. And Qianhu Hulie, who is naturally the focus of care, was the first to be pierced and flew a few meters away from the war horse......

The sharpness of Zhao Jun's spear throwing and the effect it brought made the entire Yishan cavalry tremble in an instant, and the cavalry in the rear of the Yishan Division immediately attacked much slower. But obviously, Zhao Jun will not care about this. Under the unstoppable onslaught of the Zhao cavalry, the Yishan cavalry suffered heavy casualties. The cavalry of the Zhao army was divided into four and rushed in all directions, sometimes scattered, sometimes converged. made the entire Yishan cavalry miserable, and the dispersion and convergence of the other side was not nonsense at all, but in the form of a battle formation.

"Bastard!" Looking at his own soldiers, fighting more and less, and being defeated by Zhao Jun, Hu Cong's face was pale, and he could only scold secretly.

"Leader, the cavalry armor of the Zhao army is sharp, and our army is at a disadvantage. However, we are outnumbered and have a certain advantage. It is better to give way to the infantry to form a formation in the rear, block the advance with a fence, press it with bows and arrows, let the cavalry temporarily retreat to the sides, and then charge. Qianhu Lou Yu said in a condensed voice.

"Okay, just do as you say!" There is no better way for Hu Cong to do it at this moment, so good.

Soon, Hu Cong used a fence to block horses and fences in the rear, and then gave way to the pawns to block in the rear, and finally ordered the cavalry to withdraw on both sides. However, even if it was a withdrawal, the Zhao army was holding on tightly, and even, the fierce pursuit of the Zhao army made the retreat of the Yishan Department almost collapse. Rao was like this, and many Yishan cavalry were killed by the Zhao army one by one before retreating to the central part of the country.
