Chapter 505: See you on the battlefield
Feng Ba hesitated for a moment, then called: "Summons, stop marching!" ”
From this point of view, although the strength of the Yan Kingdom has declined greatly, the Yan army still maintains a strong combat effectiveness, Gao Tande also cast a vigilant gaze, and asked loudly: "The Heavenly King of the Yan Kingdom, why did you stop?" ”
Feng Ba arched his hand: "There is a battlefield fifteen miles in the northwest, it seems to be the place where the Jin and Wei fought, I want to go and see it, can the King of Yongle be interested in going with him?" The details, alone on the way, and then talk to the king of Yongle. ”
Gao Tande's heart was a little struggling, he was worried that he had fallen into a plot, in fact, from the day he arrived in Longcheng, he had a trace of remorse in his heart, in his mind, Yan Guo changed hands one after another, and was captured by Wei Fengsheng Murong Xi and more than 20,000 people, it should be that the army was disheartened, but the facts were completely different from what he imagined, but they all came, Gao Tande's 40,000 horses were alone in depth, from Longcheng to Pill 1,300 miles, he was not sure that he could return safely after angering Feng Ba, so he could only go all the way west.
Now that Feng Ba invited him to leave the army, he would inevitably secretly plan in his heart.
Gao Tande couldn't help but look at Feng Ba, and just happened to come into contact with the eyes that seemed to be smiling, and immediately snorted secretly!
'It's just that you want to take my Goguryeo first, but Fei Fei is still afraid of you? How dare you do it before you get thistle? Gao Tande's mind turned, and he said without showing weakness: "It's okay! ”
Feng Ba smiled slightly, withdrew his gaze, and then lit up a thousand forbidden troops, Gao Tande also stopped the queue, and also ordered a thousand horsemen. Gallop northwest with Feng Ba.
The distance of fifteen miles was not far, Gao Tande and Feng Ba were marching from the east of the river to the west of the river, and they had just drilled out of the hill where Wei Feng had hidden the soldiers, and a strong smell of blood came to their faces instantly.
Due to the urgency of time, Wei Feng did not bury the corpses of the Wei people, as far as the eye could see, there were human corpses and horse corpses everywhere, and the blood had already congealed into hard lumps, and due to the hot weather, the battlefield attracted swarms of flies. There are even wild dogs and foxes gnawing on the corpses!
Leading the horses. Walking among the piles of corpses, the strange deaths could feel the tragedy of the battle, and the faces of Feng Ba and Gao Tande were covered with a trace of solemnity.
Feng Bao suddenly gasped: "This is the forbidden army of the Wei State. King Yongle. Their armor was slightly different from that of the ordinary cavalry of the Wei people. There is a slight protrusion on the shoulder, and on the leaf hem of the arm is engraved with their respective rank and surname, that is. Everyone's A is unique, and promotions require returning the original A in exchange for a new one. ”
As he spoke, Feng Ba squatted down, turned over a dead corpse and looked at his arm, and said solemnly: "Wei Yulin Lang Helan Gong, the second year of the Heavenly Gift (the first month of 405 AD)!"
King Yongle, the Yulin army of Wei State is in accordance with the Han system, and the left and right supervisors of Yulin are set up to command Yulin left cavalry 800 and Yulin right cavalry 900, serving as the guard attendant and out of the car to ride, Yulin left and right supervisor is a subordinate of Yulin Lang, and the Wei lord even sent out the Yulin army, which shows the weakness of Wei and the importance of ambushing the Jin army, but it is still not the enemy of the guard general! ”
After sighing, Feng Ba ordered: "You go and look left and right, and try to distinguish the identity of the Wei army killed in the battle, about how many people there are." ”
"Yes!" In addition to the hundreds of people left, the rest of the Yan forbidden army went into the depths and looked at the corpses.
After Gao Tande also sent more than 800 people to the battlefield to investigate, his eyes were fixed on the dead body called He Langong, this person was hit by three arrows, one was the left shoulder, the other was the left arm, and the fatal one was the left chest, this arrow pierced the heart protection bronze mirror, directly through the heart, two inches outside.
Gao Tande pulled out the blood-stained arrow hard, and was suddenly shocked!
There were some pieces of flesh and bone on the arrow, and it was obvious that it had broken the ribs after penetrating the heart protection bronze mirror, but this was not the point of his fright, but the faint silver light emitted from the blood!
Gao Tande made a move with one hand, took a soft cloth from his hand, and carefully wiped the blood stains on the arrow, gradually, an eight-inch short arrow with a bright silver body appeared in front of him, the arrow was slightly deformed, and there was no excessive bending, you know, this is the arrow after two consecutive hard objects!
Feng Bao also looked at Gao Tande's hand, his face became more and more heavy, and it took a long time before he couldn't believe it: "King Yongle, is this made of stainless steel?" ”
Gao Tande's face floated with a touch of bitterness, and he nodded a little lost: "This is stainless steel, Lone can be sure, this is not forging, but a one-time casting and then polishing, when the surnamed Wei broke my reinforcements in Pyongyang, he shot an iron arrow, I can't imagine that in just a few years, his army has been replaced with a steel arrow, how did he do it?" ”
No one can answer the question of Gao Tande, it is not difficult to forge a steel knife and a steel sword, but the smaller the component forging, the more difficult it is to forge a short arrow, it is almost difficult to make a short arrow in a forging way, but Wei Feng has a unique way to make a short arrow in the way of casting, you know, the premise of casting is that there must be molten steel, where does the molten steel come from?
Everyone understands the seriousness of replacing the iron arrow with the steel arrow, for example, if the Jin army still uses the iron arrow, this Yu Lin Lang named Helan Gong will most likely not be shot through the heart, although it is likely to die, but the probability of dying on the spot is very low, because the iron arrow penetrated the heart protection bronze mirror, the arrow will be somewhat deformed, it is difficult to continue to crush the ribs and then shoot into the heart in one go, and the steel arrow is completely different!
Wu Yinti seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly pulled out the short arrows from several corpses nearby, but they were all steel arrows without exception!
In fact, if there was enough time, Wei Feng would ask someone to remove the steel arrows as much as possible, but this time, because the 90,000 army was nearby, due to the fatigue of continuous battles, and because the consumption of arrows was too large, the soldiers did not carry much, so Wei Feng did not break Feng Ba and Gao Tande's grasp, and only avoided them as quickly as possible, so the arrows were left on the battlefield.
"Let's go further." Feng Bao also sighed, beckoned Gao Tande to walk forward, perhaps it was the appearance of the steel arrow that made Gao Tande temporarily throw away his jealousy of Feng Ba, a heavenly king, a prince actually walked side by side.
The two of them pointed and pointed all the way, exchanging views on this battle, and I don't know how long it took, they were close to the river, "Huh? Feng Ba's eyes froze, and he found that there was a roll of yellow-colored silk in a puddle of unrecognizable meat paste, so he called: "That must be the edict of Lord Wei, take it out and take a look." ”
"Yes!" A personal entourage took out the edict, washed it with water, and unfolded it in front of Gao Tande and Feng Ba, which was the secret edict that Tuoba had granted Mu Chongke to deprive Tuoba of the right to usurp the army if necessary.
After a few breaths, Feng Ba retracted his gaze and said with a complicated expression: "It turns out that this person is Mu Chong, the Tai Lieutenant of Wei, he was obviously trampled to death by a galloping horse after being thrown out by an arrow on his horse, hey~~ Mu Chongrong has been a horse all his life, with great achievements, and his experience in the battle array is incomparably rich, even if he is alone, he does not dare to have any contempt, he can't imagine that he was lured out of an ambush here by General Wei when you and my reinforcements are coming, and he ended up with no bones left, no wonder General Wei will not come to attack you and me, his goal in this battle is to lure and annihilate the ambush soldiers of the Wei people, That Tuoba Jue is also a hero, but stealing chickens can't lead to a handful of rice!
Up to now, Wei has had three important ministers, Changsun Fei, Tuoba Yi and Mu Chong, who have died in the hands of General Wei! ”
Feng Ba's unexpectedness expressed the mixed feelings in his heart, although he had never met Mu Chong, and he was also friend or foe, but Mu Chong's tragic death made him feel a feeling of sadness when a rabbit died and a fox died.
Although the horse leather shroud is said to be the highest honor of a military general, but for most people, dying in bed in front of their children is not a good death to look forward to, not to mention Mu Chong's incomplete bones, why talk about the horse leather shroud?
Gao Tande also lost his interest in speaking, and looked at Mu Chong's broken corpse in a daze.
The wind inexplicably brought a kind of whimpering whistling, as if it was the resentful soul of the Wei people roaring unwillingly, unconsciously, a Yan forbidden army and a Goguryeo soldier both walked over, one of them saluted: "King Yu Tianwang and King Tai, those who died here are the Wei forbidden army, and the last general and others have found the five guards, namely the left and right Su Guard Army, the Tiger Ben Army, the Yulin Army and the San Lang Army, the number of people is about 15,000 to 16,000. ”
Feng Bao slowly turned his head, looked at Gao Tande and said: "The eight guards of the forbidden army of the Wei State, these five guards have 20,000 troops, and they have almost been wiped out, King Yongle, let's go to the opposite side and take a look, there are still some corpses on the other side, see which part of the Wei State it is, and also look at General Wei's methods, how many Wei people he killed." ”
Gao Tande nodded with a calm face, stepped on the war horse, and galloped to the opposite bank with Feng Ba and his relatives.
After crossing the river, the first thing I saw was thousands of corpses that had been stripped of their essence, all of whom were in strong builds, much thicker than ordinary Wei people.
Feng Bace galloped over, showed a thoughtful look, and asked: "King Yongle, you see that these corpses, the weapons and armor are all gone, and they were obviously taken away by General Wei, so why did he let go of the corpses of the forbidden army on the other side of the river?" The equipment of the forbidden army is first-class in the Wei State, what can you see from this? ”
"This" Gao Tande was speechless for a long time, he had never fought with the Wei people, and his understanding of the Wei State was obviously not as profound as that of the Yan State.
Wu Yinti turned over and dismounted, observed carefully, and suddenly, his expression changed, and he couldn't believe it: "Heavenly King, King Tai, these thousands of people were not killed in battle, but were captured alive and executed, and the last general heard that Wei has five thousand equipped heavy horses, are these people equipped with heavy horses?" ”
Feng Bao nodded and said: "When the forbidden army of Wei crossed the river, General Wei suddenly killed from the back of the valley and the woods, forcing Mu Chong to divide the front and rear into two parts to attack, the front is the forbidden army, and the rear is equipped with heavy horses. I think they were dragged down alive by the light cavalry, so they were brutally executed, their armor, lance and war horse, not to mention that General Wei would not let it go, even if they were alone, they had to be taken off!
