Chapter 11: Civilization vs. Barbarism (1)

Time is not forgiving, and the invaders will never fight in a serious battle.

It was not easy to learn the news that the Hu people were about to go south to enter the Kou more than ten days in advance, which gave Fang Yun enough time to prepare. During this period, some of the waste was spent on entertaining the allies, but it turned out that they came to the border before the Hu people came to the edge of the Great Wall.

"Lord, you're finally here!" When Fang Yun came to the foot of the Great Wall, the guard general Cheng Lian said with a somewhat wry smile.

Just yesterday, the Hu army had already moved out of the clouds and set up camp fifty miles from the Great Wall. If nothing else, a general attack should be launched tomorrow. Although they have more than 30,000 defenders here, they have to divide their troops in the face of such a long defensive line, and it is not bad to have 3,000 people gathered here for a while.

"Report the enemy!" Fang Yun nodded, and then asked.

"Whoa! According to intelligence, the enemy has gathered fifty miles ahead, and the camp stretches for more than ten miles! Cheng Lian also immediately became serious and replied.

"Can you call a battle, or go to war?" Fang Yun asked again.

"The enemy has just arrived, and there is no battle yet." Cheng Lian said with a wry smile, how could he be intact if he really wanted to go to war.

Tens of thousands of troops are about to appear on the Great Wall, and there are only 3,000 troops on his side, even if he can fight again, how can his body be so clean? It's normal to be covered in blood and sweat, even if there are a few cuts, and even a few more scars, it's not surprising!

"Pay attention to precautions, and the reconnaissance cavalry against the enemy can not relax, be careful of the enemy's sound and attack strategy!" Fang Yun nodded, but he needed to give a few words.

"Whoa!" Cheng Lian naturally thought of this. The scout had already been released. But at the moment, it is still a regular reply.

There's a lot of pressure on their side. Fang Yun only brought 30,000 troops, which combined to 33,000 troops, but he had to face 80,000 Xianbei troops. The Great Wall is very long, and each point needs to be patrolled by manpower, otherwise it can easily be captured by the enemy. The slender defensive line also made it more difficult to defend, and it would not be easy to provide timely support if it were not for the beacon to be used normally.

Want to compare them, Ma Chao's army of 20,000. Together with the 20,000 troops on Xi Zhicai's side, they had to directly face the 60,000 Qianghu army, and the pressure was even greater. Ma Chao originally had an army of 40,000, but considering the problem of guarding the border, only 20,000 troops could be mobilized, he and his two brothers commanded an army of 10,000, and Pang De, Ma Dai and Yang Qiu commanded another 10,000 troops.

The easiest should be Tian Yu and Xian Yu's auxiliary troops, they have an army of 30,000, and they are facing an army of 30,000. Who doesn't know what the attitude of Gongsun Du of Liaodong is, anyway, Fang Yun has already sent him a letter. Let him attack Goguryeo.

If he did what he was told, then the 10,000-strong army of Goguryeo would naturally be defeated. If he doesn't. Or if the troops are transferred to attack Tian Yu's army, then Huang Zhong's 10,000 army, which has long been ready for battle, will quickly be thrown into the battlefield. On top of that, this undoubtedly gave Fang Yun the best excuse to destroy him!

In this battle, everything has been arranged! As long as the generals abide by their duties and prepare their troops, then how can there be no reason to be invincible?!

It's just that Fang Yun doesn't just need a victory, he also needs a big victory! He wants to beat all these nonsense people and make them break their muscles and bones! Only in this way can we keep Northern Xinjiang safe for 20 years!

I don't know if they sensed Fang Yun's arrival, and the next day Huaitou and Kebineng began to lead the army out of the camp and arrange troops under the Great Wall. They don't have this knowledge themselves, so the formation is very loose.

I can feel that it should be some kind of formation, it should be an arrow formation, with cavalry as a diversion in front and the main siege force in the rear, this force is mainly infantry, holding a rudimentary ladder.

The Hu people have gone south all the time, mainly to plunder places, and there are few sieges. It's just that they don't have the ability to siege cities at all, and they don't have so many siege equipment to use. The ladder is the most primitive siege weapon, and with the more primitive hammer, that's all they can use.

Usually when they went south, the Han Chinese would hide in the castle, and few were able to fight them. Maybe during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the army of the Han people was still able to make them afraid, but now it can't.

Earlier, the Tanshi Huai Khan took them on a safari in the territory of the Han people, which is the so-called grass valley. The Han people used sickles to harvest grain, and they used scimitars in their hands to harvest the heads of Han people, and then robbed them of their grain.

This is their annual harvest feast, and they can get not only food, but also a large amount of iron products. Of course, if you're lucky, you can also get a soft and docile Han girl.

This time to the south, most of the Xianbei people have such beautiful fantasies, and they are even imagining how the Han troops on the city wall tremble and tremble.

However, something unexpected happened, not only did the Han people have no intention of defending the city, but also came directly outside the Great Wall, and also learned from them to arrange troops. It's just that at the very front of the formation, there are ten things covered by a veil. If you want to say the most intuitive impression, it is probably that this thing is very large, about ten times larger than a cow.

As the curtain lifted, the mysterious thing revealed its hideousness.

It was supposed to be some kind of cart, but there was no carriage to tow it. The lower plate is not made of wheels, but something like a strap, but it is made of iron. The whole body of the car is covered with a layer of steel plates, and if it were not for the exposed wooden structure under the steel plates, I am afraid that it would really be made of steel.

Of course, Fang Yun would like to go to all-steel production, but the rolling and welding technology has not yet qualified, so it can only appear in this form.

In front of the car was a hideous beast's head, either a lion or a tiger, or a leopard. This beast's head is made so lifelike that it makes people shudder to look at.

On the body, there is actually a guardrail-like ring-shaped protrusion, which is also made of iron or steel, which is supposed to be used to protect something inside. There is an opening on the sides of the bulge, so narrow, unless the most elite archer in the tribe. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shoot the arrow. The premise is: Don't move these cars!

Both sides of the body. There are even more such openings, with two on each side, for a total of four openings.

This kind of car, the moment it appears, it gives people a very bad feeling. Perhaps for nomads, this kind of knife chopping may not be able to be cut, and it can't be pierced with arrows, which is really very scary. Fortunately, it looks very bulky, and when it came, it was finally moved by someone else's traction. I don't think I can do it on my own, right?

If so, it is not a bad idea to bypass them.

No matter how powerful they are, as long as the main general of the Han army has been killed, then the war is declared over. No matter how powerful these car-like things are, they don't mean much.

Huaitou and Kebineng planned to do so, so when the other party had just begun to set up the formation, they gave the order to charge. From the very beginning, they felt that it would be too stupid to wait until the end of the two sides to start a war or something.

It's just that what they didn't expect was. The cars actually moved, and drove straight towards them. Maybe it's not fast enough. But they are indeed moving forward.

"Going around to the sides, I don't believe they're going to turn yet!" In charge of being the striker is Kebineng's henchman Suli, who is also the king of the Xianbei tribe and is also known for his bravery among the Xianbei people.

In his opinion, these cars do look terrible, but they also clearly have their fatal weaknesses. The fact that these cars don't use wheels and don't look like axles is a tough question of how they turn.

It's just that what he has to face is not the question of whether the car can turn or not.

As they approached, arrows were shot from the hole in the back of the car, shooting directly in front of them. These arrows are not very thick, but they do not penetrate very well, and they shoot through their armor and hurt them.

Not only that, but these arrows were also shot from the openings on both sides of the body. The arrows were shot out in a steady stream, giving the illusion that there were not hundreds of people inside.

In fact, this is an improved type of the organ repeating crossbow, after Liu Bei's repeating crossbow was captured, Mo Yu took a little time to improve and shrink, and made it a repeating crossbow that could shoot continuously. These repeaters have two layers of bowstrings, and when the first string is fired, the second string is wound, and so on alternately between winding and firing, with a frequency of about one second per shot.

It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of mechanism repeating crossbow that it gives people the illusion that the crossbow arrows are constantly firing. In fact, there were only five people who attacked, and according to the enemy's position, they would shoot at the firing port, and that's it.

It's just that this thing needs to consume a lot of crossbow arrows, so the narrator of the car has also prepared another supply vehicle, which can safely send crossbow arrows and even fire oil to this initial armored vehicle.

Ten armored vehicles, which caused hundreds of casualties in an instant. In order to kill the enemy to the maximum, these arrows are quenched and poisoned, and only need to cut a layer of skin, so it is basically a mortal situation. With this in mind, the size of the bolt is controlled, and the power of the bolt is not reduced due to the fact that the bolt becomes smaller.

Seeing that the enemy army was killed in front of the armored car, those Xianbei cavalry planned to bypass.

But he didn't want the beast's mouth to slowly open, revealing a pitch-black pipe, and after a while, a raging flame erupted from the pipe, burning directly towards them.

The Xianbei people were terrified, and the horses under them were even more frightened. Animals were originally afraid of fire, and when they were burned at such a close distance, they suddenly became a mess, and many Xianbei soldiers were directly thrown off the horse's back by the war horse. If you are unlucky, you will be frightened and stand up violently, and step on it hard.

Under normal circumstances, this soldier has no way to live.

"Get around, get around them!" Su Li was also frightened, he didn't expect the Han people to have such a murderous weapon.

The army quickly bypassed, but what awaited them was the return of crossbows from their own positions. They hadn't gone south for too long, they hadn't had contact with the Han people, and they didn't know that the level of science and technology in Fang Yun's hands had already surpassed this era for an unknown amount of time.

Those crossbow arrows were poured down like money, like raindrops falling horizontally, directly pouring on them.

It was definitely a rain of death, and thousands of Xianbei warriors died from this rain in an instant. Su Li was even hit by more than a dozen arrows in his body, and he was unwillingly shot off his horse, as if he could no longer die...... (To be continued......)

PS: An armored car that combines the concept of spiritual motivators, and also fuses the chariot and the fire beast, and here is the fire beast armored car.
