Battle of the Mid-Autumn Festival (3)
On August 13, 385 year of the Tianshen calendar, King Xiaoyi of Liang came to the front line in person, the criminal state army, the former army of the Chinese army joint camp at the foot of the Zalian Mountain, and the tent of the commander of the criminal state army
General Hua, our army is now more than 100,000 troops gathered at the foot of this Zhalian Mountain, you tell this king. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, can we defeat this An Mingqian's 30,000 horses. Xiao Yi was wearing bright red armor at this time, exuding a magical luster all over his body, and his defensive power seemed to be extremely extraordinary.
His Royal Highness the King of Liang, An Mingqian used the army to be veteran, attacked and defended well, and the defense was appropriate, after several days of bloody battles, our army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, but his 30,000 horses were only injured and fur. Our army is good at holding on to the city, and is not good at attacking field battles, and it is really difficult to defeat in a rush with one blow. Hua Dingshan replied with a bitter face.
In your opinion, what should our army do?
His Royal Highness the King of Liang, our soldiers fought hard for days, broke through their camp during the day, and were taken away by the swallow thieves at night. This time, I will eliminate the strengths of the other, which is really not the way to use soldiers. According to the opinion of the last general, our army should leave a suspicious army here, withdraw the whole army to Yang County, and divide troops to garrison various places. When the thief runs out of food, he will send troops to chase and kill. Hua Dingshan gave the strategy he had been abiding by for decades, although because of the weak cavalry, most of the previous pursuits had not made any outstanding gains.
The enemy ran out of food, and it was just one or two days. The king had already arranged a surprise soldier to burn the grain and grass of the swallow thief. Xiao Yi stroked his palms and laughed.
The last general will be desperate to serve. Huading Mountain is still calm.
King Yuliang, General Hua has been fighting hard these days, and he should rest for a few days. The last general is willing to be the forerunner of His Highness. Jiang Yi suddenly knelt down and said.
Well, who is the main general to attack and kill the Yan thief, this king still has to think about this matter, and then whether our army will march into Zhongzhou, you must also think about it with this king. The generals will go down and rest, and when the enemy's grain and grass are burned, how about this king order you to attack again? Seeing that several generals suddenly had the intention of competing for merit, Xiao Yi immediately sacrificed his magic weapon - procrastination.
When the crowd left the camp, Mr. Yu couldn't wait to come out and speak
The lord, Jiang Yi, and Du Bei actually took the initiative to fight. Why not say yes to them?
The grain and grass were burned, and the hearts of the Yan thief army were bound to be in turmoil, and although the casualties of our army in the past few days were heavy, their losses were not small. It's finally time to reap the results, why give such credit to those two guys. Xiao Yi was puzzled, the current establishment of the new army is needed a group of backbones to support him, and the reason why he will send the generals away is to leave this great credit to himself or those new army generals.
Lord, first, the generals of the new army are still too low in rank, and it is not suitable to lead the army to kill alone. Second, General Hua is a general of the old man, which is suitable for the Chinese army to protect the lord when the army rushes to kill. Third, Jiang Yi and Du Bei were born in a poor family, and this time they were tempted by a lot of money to send troops to come, and they wanted to make contributions. If the two lead the army, we will have room to attack and retreat, and if we win, we just recommend these two to Xiao Shi Lao'er, and let these two leave the criminal state in the name of promotion. If they are defeated, the lord can directly kill these two people and put the responsibility for the defeat on these two people. In this way, the 100,000 elites in Lu County and Nanjun will return to the command of the lord. This time, the new army generals and schools we selected can also be incorporated into these 100,000 elites, and then choose the right time to select the strong and cut the weak, and the new army can be successful.
Mr. Yu's mouth was dry, but his eyes still shone with a moving fire, which formed a sharp contrast with the coldness on his face. It seems that this bright picture is just around the corner.
At that time, the new army will be established, implement the new policy, concentrate the power of the criminal state, weaken the Cai family, the Huang family and other big families, and use the power of our criminal state to wait for Xiao Shi's old man to leave. We went east to take Donghai City and regain the throne of Jiangshan.
What the gentleman said is indeed good. It is according to the wishes of the gentleman. The widow immediately ordered Jiang Yi and Du Bei to prepare for battle. Now wait for the fire to be lit by Tu Hejin, this man is shrewd and capable, and the widow has already promised him the position of the chief of the guards. Hua Ming's kid also rushed to kill together, so as to rise as soon as possible. Xiao Yi thought slowly.
An Mingqian's military formation was fortified with iron chariots, and the soldiers were arrayed on the second mountainside of the Zalian Mountain with chariots, and the pikemen and sword and shield light infantry presented a phalanx together, and a small number of lightly armored leather cavalry were deployed on each side. Looking at this formation, Hua Dingshan couldn't help but wonder, this is the offensive formation.
General: Our army has just captured the first mountain range, and the officers and men of all armies have not yet had time to come over, and their physical strength is seriously exhausted. If An Mingqian attacks our department, I'm afraid we will have a hard time. Joining the army directly expressed his doubts.
Although it is difficult, it has to be fought, at this moment King Liang is supervising the formation in the back, if our army retreats, it will inevitably anger King Liang. Passing on my order, the iron sword battalion was placed on both sides as a phalanx, with the heavy infantry of the whole army holding shields in front, sword and shield soldiers, and sword and shield soldiers in the middle. Tie up with ropes to withstand the rain of enemy arrows. When the enemy army reaches 50 paces, scatter and charge. After all, Hua Dingshan is a battlefield general, and at this moment it has come to the time when he has to fight, the Iron Sword Battalion is a unit he personally trained, all of them are strong, and the fighting spirit level is around level seven, and they are famous for the five-foot heavy sword they carry. In the past defensive battles, these iron sword soldiers often swept a few, the total number of iron sword battalions was 2,000 people, which was the real elite of the Yangjun army, and the reason why there were 2,000 troops was because Hua Dingshan also prepared and trained his own troops with this battalion, plus the deployment of servants. Therefore, the number of people far exceeded the formation of the ordinary battalion, and the Iron Sword Battalion was also equipped with 800 horses for transporting heavy plate armor and greatswords.
At this moment, the Iron Sword Battalion was dispatched, which showed that Huading Mountain had already done its best, and to win this battle, it was necessary to attack against attack.
The soldiers of the two sides quickly collided together, and the Yan army also took out the real men of the battlefield battle, because the rear army of the people was already injured at this moment. The Yan army occupies a favorable position, but the armor weapons are obviously still far behind those of Xingzhou. The cavalry on both sides were mainly wearing leather armor and using ordinary iron scimitars, while the armor greatsword of the Iron Sword Battalion was made of various metals with dark iron and a large number of iron essences. In the central battle, among the infantry, the proportion of armor worn by the Xingzhou army is much higher than that of the Yan army, in addition. There are still many soldiers in the criminal state army who wear plate armor, and this kind of soldier, the scimitar will only leave a scratch when cut over. without causing fatal damage.
Watching the fighting Xingzhou army below slowly turn from a disadvantage to an advantage and upper hand, An Mingqian was a little puzzled. Cui Xilie knew that the two armies were superior in armor and weapons, and why he still ordered the army to fight on such a scale on this very gentle hillside. If this continues, it is almost inevitable that you will suffer. The front consumed the lives of the people and the rear army, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. Now the dead are all border guard soldiers who have made a register in the military department.
The order was given, the armies shrank their formations, and the archers ran out of arrows. An Mingqian ordered, he could not tolerate the unnecessary sacrifice of soldiers.
Wait, Your Highness. Now that the two armies are close to each other, retreating at this point can only bring greater defeat and casualties. Cui Xiyeol spoke.
If defeat is inevitable, why should our army engage them in close combat, instead of using the tactics of the previous days?
A few days ago, our army was trying to consume the enemy's morale and life, but now, Xiao Yi has pulled more than 100,000 horses into this mountain, obviously wanting to win. Although Xiao Yi didn't know the art of war, he blindly threw him an empty camp, and he couldn't completely take the bait. Second, the elite of Yangjun Hua's must also be exposed as soon as possible, only we know all the opponent's hole cards, and we still have hole cards in our hands. Only then can we win the final victory in this war. Now, Hua Dingshan won the battle, but his losses will not be small, and Xiao Yi is suspicious, and he will definitely not let him take all the credit alone. Therefore, tomorrow's battle, we will only have to deal with some rabble.
Well. An Mingqian responded unhappily, and then went to deal with complicated military affairs. After a defeat, if an army still wants to be defeated and can be reorganized, the main general cannot be considered defeated in the first place. So An Mingqian knew that he was busy.
There is another one that was not told to An Mingqian, that is, because it is only after such a hand-to-hand fight. The hatred between the two sides will be deeper, whether it is a soldier or a general, and Cui Xilie's future battle arrangement must require the morale of these tens of thousands of Yan soldiers to reach a maximum of availability, and they need to play extraordinarily.
The fight continued into the afternoon, and at the end of the day. A mountain was fought down again, and there was only one mountain line left in the entire Zhalian Mountain that could be stationed for defense, but Huading Mountain knew that the next battle should not be on his own. Beheaded more than 2,000 levels, he has achieved the biggest victory since the start of the war, although he also knows that if An Mingqian is defeated, then the ratio between the number of re-killed soldiers and the number of lost soldiers will be greatly reduced, so that someone else will take over, although he is really unhappy in his heart, but as a battlefield general, he still understands his responsibility. As much as possible, he calmed down the anger of the generals in Yangjun, especially his younger brother Hua Dingshui. Prepare to go to the Chinese army to protect King Xiaoyi of Liang.
This great victory, Fahrenheit is indispensable, the widow must reward them well. Hua Ming led five hundred Chinese guards to charge with Jiang Yi and Du Bei, and this time he was bound to kill all the Yan thieves who committed in the future. Xiao Yi looked at the battle report in front of him, and his heart blossomed with joy, thousands of levels of beheading. He was now convinced that An Ming's cadres had exhausted their strength, and that as long as they waited for Tuhe to burn their grain and grass at this time, they could really win a big battle.
This time, all the soldiers of Yangjun who have killed the head of the Yan thief will be rewarded. and to give knighthood, and all those who have slave status shall be exempted from slave status. Xiao Yi then gave a second decree.
Mr. Yu, who was behind the scenes, listened to the flattering words of the former ministers and civil and military officials, and his face twitched with anger. is even more hateful, Xiao Yi's eagerness for quick success. Now that the new army has not been completed, the new policy of exempting slaves has already revealed its clues. In case of failure, the battle is lost. He didn't dare to imagine how much backlash he would cause after he went back? The system of slavery is deeply rooted and is the foundation on which all nations stand on their feet. The generals of the new army, who he would have to endure to secure the royal power, probably mainly from these slave-raising generals. At this time, when it comes to the abolition of slavery, I am really angry and want to vomit blood.
