Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 234 Night Blood (7)
The fire rolled over, and the city of Yingzhou was brightly illuminated in the darkness, black smoke was billowing, and the ashes were scattered, staining the surrounding snow black.
In such a strange cold weather where thousands of mountains and birds are exhausted, and in such a prosperous and rich place in the Central Plains, the bitter cold and remote border state will never be thought of, on this night. It has become a place where countless people sacrifice their lives to fight, and they don't know how many living lives will be devoured overnight!
Bianliang is light and soft and rich, and you can enjoy the snow with a cup of Tusu at night. Have you ever thought that how many Great Song Dynasty men are not allowed to die, and they are Liao people, and they are here to fight to the death with the future enemies of the Great Song Dynasty?
The two teams of fierce infantry warriors wearing heavy armor collided at first glance, and even the screams of the earth-shattering battle were stagnant, and between heaven and earth, at this moment, it seemed that they were quiet for a moment. Then all kinds of shouts, fights, shouts, and screams burst out doubly!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even in the era of cold weapons, the two sides fought in formation, hedged against each other, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat for one life, which was not the mainstream of a battle. When it comes to this part, it is often ready to be finalized.
The reason is not complicated, this kind of body in the formation, must not toss and turn, must not dodge and retreat, can only carry out the most brutal life-for-life short-range combat. In any era, it is not a selected warrior, or has undergone severe training, and it is a last resort.
The two armies will fight, needless to say, the disparity between strength and weakness is huge. If the forces are evenly matched, it will not be easy to fight a battle. The first thing for both sides to do is to stabilize their camps. Defend your supply lines. There is food to eat. Hold your ground. Then consider finding the enemy and attacking it.
The means that can be used are adapted to local conditions. The cavalry is mostly harassed by a large number of light cavalry, compressing the opponent's activity space. It is best to compress the other party tightly in the camp, and it is difficult to collect and draw water. The range of elite cavalry activities can be expanded, so consider cutting off the opponent's food route. All in all, try to limit the other party's initiative.
If you can't limit the other party, then consider other means to take the initiative. Or they will save the enemy, lure the enemy out of the solid camp and fortress, and make a surprise attack on the march. Or it is to show the enemy weakness and induce the opponent to divide his troops. Strike in the gap.
It can neither be restrained nor mobilized. I can't find any flaws, I can't find any cheapness. As long as there is a choice, a qualified coach is likely to choose not to play, or to go deep and high, or simply to lead troops to avoid it. Waiting for a better opportunity.
The real main forces of the two armies are taken out, fighting against each other and fighting for their lives, that is, there is no better choice for both sides.
In the era of cold weapons, the ability to organize and mobilize was far inferior to that of later generations. Needless to say, the rogue is coerced. The armed establishment is tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers, supplemented by how many auxiliary soldiers and civilians. Equipped with sufficient military equipment for carriages and horses. Is it that easy? A hard-fought battle is the death of thousands of human beings, with the degree of organization that an agrarian society can achieve. With such a loss, the entire army will be greatly damaged, and it will not be able to recover lightly. Human life is human life after all, let alone an army that was organized with great difficulty. thinks that fighting a war is to fight for people's lives, that is mediocre and handsome. Morale will not be attached.
On the contrary, in the modern nation-state and even in the later era of industrialization, with the improvement of the degree of social organization, it was possible to organize a steady stream of military replenishment before the human resources were exhausted. This kind of desperate war scene has become the mainstream of war, especially in the two world wars.
A well-known Three Kingdoms, the battle between the two armies is a deep ditch and a high fortress at every turn, and it is a stalemate at every turn, and the last side retreats with all food. The real hard-fought battles are just a few. And they often killed thousands of lives in each of them, led their troops back, and licked their wounds.
Han and Tang dynasties, and even the Song Dynasty. At the time of the founding of the country, there were several battles against Liao. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and in the end, the alliance of the Abyss came to an end. For the Western Xia War, there were also several battles that were not as large as the Song and Liao Wars. Although the Song people were defeated, the Western Xia did not use the power of the country, and after the battle, their vitality was greatly damaged. Since then, the Song people have organized a large-depth defense system along the border against the Western Xia, even if they attack, they will also attack step by step, or pull out points along the Hengshan Mountains, and encroach step by step. Or it was the strategic flank adventure in the land of Hehuang, where the influence of Western Xia was weak. What is fighting is not to take lightly, and to overwhelm the other party's idea with national strength.
It is so difficult to fight a hard-fought battle, and it is specific to the process of a battle. It is even more difficult for the two sides to meet the hand-to-hand combat. More commonly, both sides test each other's weaknesses and maximize the long-range lethality of the crossbow. Disrupt the opponent with cavalry, mobilize the opponent, and after discovering the opponent's weaknesses, then throw in the elite attack to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
The elite armor-clad men of both sides marched in formation, collided fiercely, and fought one life for another. Rely on desperate efforts to beat the other party to collapse. Such a war scene, even in a hundred, it is rare to have one!
And tonight in the Yingzhou city fortress, although the scale is smaller. But since the Jurchen military horses broke into the city, it has been such a scene of fighting, with elite men in armor on both sides roaring and hedged upward, in a narrow front, almost a bloody battle of one life for another. The armor soldiers on both sides are rapidly consuming, and they are gritting their teeth and fighting to the death, and under the leadership of the commanders of both sides, the dead are pouring in one batch after another. Such bloody and brutal, not seen in decades. Don't say that you are sideways, you can look at it from a distance, and you will feel bold!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meng Nuan hid in the cave of the city gate, watching the teams of Jurchen armor soldiers rush past him, shouting and throwing into the killing field. The smell of blood was already so thick that people couldn't breathe. The sound of the blade breaking through the flesh was connected, and then mixed with the curses and screams of the armor soldiers on both sides, it was heard and echoed in the city gate hole. Several henchmen who were lucky not to die followed Meng Nuan lying motionless in the corpse pile, Rao is always fierce, and they couldn't help but be frightened, glad that they were not in such a cruel killing field.
Their fight to the death just now is compared to the fight now. This is no longer enough. Yesterday, thousands of people rushed to the city. It's child's play!
The strength of the Jurchen soldiers. The courage of the armor soldier really deserves its name. It is no wonder that such a vast Liao is destroyed under their horses' hooves. And the dead soldiers around this Liao princess are not far behind. But there is still such a strong army among the Liao people, how could Yelu Yanxi be captured and captured in Beijing, and the Duke of Shu fell into such a remote place as Yingzhou?
Unconsciously, there were no Jurchen military horses passing by in the city gate. The elite of the city were all thrown into the battlefield. Meng Nuan's body finally moved. Greet his subordinates: "Go!" ”
When several henchmen heard this, Nene replied, "Where are you going?" ”
Meng Nuan gritted her teeth and was silent. Under the shock of such a cruel battle scene, he subconsciously wanted to say that no matter where he went, as long as he was as far away from these fierce gods as possible, and as far away from such a bloody death battle, the better!
But under some painstaking management, he only led a few subordinates to escape like a lost dog, how could he be willing?
In his original calculation, under such a painstaking performance plan, Yingzhou City Fortress will inevitably not be guaranteed. As long as you hold out until the Jurchen military horses break into the city. You can take it down here. If it was smoother, maybe I wouldn't have waited for the Jurchen military horses to enter the city. As long as the city gate is lost, the defenders of Yingzhou should collapse - after all, the Jurchen iron cavalry will break into the city at any time!
The princess of the Liao people, although she often patrols the city in armor, is like a heroic daughter. After all, she is also a woman. At this time, he either waited for death in the government office, or fled for the support of several henchmen. Whether in the city or outside the city of Yingzhou, he Meng Nuan is a hundred times more familiar with the Jurchen military horses. I believe that I am sure enough to find this Liao princess first. grabbed it and fled away with his henchmen. The world is so big, where can't you go?
Male husbands are rampant in the world, why bother to work for the Jurchens, driven by the Jurchens, and struggle for their lives like the thousands of lives who died in his hands? The world in the north is in turmoil, and in other places, you may not be able to find a foundation like Yingzhou! And if he has another inheritance, he will not let this family fall into the hands of others again!
The abacus played as expected, and Meng Nuan also felt that he had six or seven points of success. Of course, you have to take a certain risk, and maybe you will not be in the battle. However, since the fall of Yingzhou's foundation, he swallowed his anger under the command of others, hid his minions and was cautious, and then saw the tragic situation under the command of the Jurchen army and horses, Meng Nuan no matter what, no matter what, he no longer wanted to put his fate under the control of others!
Speaking of which, Meng Nuan and Xiao Yan are also three points similar, they are a little arrogant in their bones, and their own fate can only be decided by their own family. But one is the perennial struggle in life and death, and the bloody horse thief career is sharpened. One came through and found that in the skin of the little white-collar workers of later generations, there was such a post-apocalyptic heroic character.
But tonight's events turned out to be like this. Meng Nuan seized the city, and it was almost a failure. The princess of the Liao people of Shu turned out to be fierce. In the end, the development of the situation was completely out of Meng Nuan's control.
The Jurchens robbed the city gate, and they didn't take him Meng Nuan to heart at all, as long as they bumped into him, slaughtering him was like slaughtering a dog's ear!
At this time, running away may be the best choice.
But just as he was about to open his mouth and lead a few henchmen under his command to flee for their lives, he suddenly felt a movement in his heart.
Guo Rong broke through the fireworks, biting her lip, her hair fluttering, and the tall figure that entered the formation flashed in Meng Nuan's heart.
This princess of Shu is so powerful! At that moment, Meng Nuan only felt that he was as different as Guo Rong. What are you counting? How can you be delusional to include this heroic and beautiful Liao princess in her account as a gift for herself?
But this thief is stingy and ruthless, giving little to the people of this world, and asking for as much as he wants from the world. What you want, in this world, you can only desperately grab it!
Once he escaped, Meng Nuan also knew that it would be impossible to have any chance of meeting this princess of Shu again. But I just want this Liao princess to moan and toss under me!
This thief God, this thief God, why do I have to struggle desperately to survive, why can't I control the fate of others, why can't I get this Liao princess?
Thief God, thief God!!
Meng Nuan turned over violently, his eyes were blood-red, and he didn't know if it was reflected by the firelight. He lowered his voice, but he was resolute: "The Liao people can't hold on, only retreat from Longshou Village, let's go and grab Longshou Village!" ”
A henchman was still lying on the pile of corpses, raised his head and said, "General, it's important to escape!" What are you doing at this time? The Jurchen Tartars also killed us, and the Liao people hated us even more. We are still horse thieves, in this world, one day is a day! ”
Meng Nuan grinned, but this smile was even more fierce than the fight outside, and there was a trace of madness and despair: "We should be the foundation of the state, and the Liao people will rob when they say that they will rob it." If I hadn't been careful, I would have been eliminated by the Liao people a long time ago. desperately robbed the city for the Jurchens, but the Jurchens also regarded us as pigs and dogs. Even so, no one should be taken lightly! The Liao princess will retreat from the dragon head village, I will grab it, our brothers, we have tasted the taste of this Liao princess, and we have not gone in vain to go to the world of this straight thief! After winning the Longshou Village, the Jurchens died thousands of times, and they couldn't take the village. Let's stay in the village happily and eat his mother and drink his mother! Looking at the cheap, just go, when the time comes, we will still operate our old business, and see when this thief will want our lives! In this world, if you live for a day, you will be happy for a day, but if you die, what is a bird? ”
Several henchmen all raised their heads, and one of them gritted his teeth and sat up: "In this world, you can earn every day of life." Lord, I will go with you! But this Liao princess, I want to taste it too! ”
Meng Nuan sneered: "As long as I am the first, then I will not use it with the brothers!" ”
The rest of the people also gritted their teeth and responded: "In this world, we have already lived enough, the lord, are you going to take that road?" ”
Meng Nuan nodded heavily: "Just go that way............ Hundreds or thousands of lives have been lost tonight, if Grandpa Meng dies, spare hundreds or thousands of lives, what Liao princess, what Jurchen general, everyone will die in one place! (To be continued......)
