Chapter 211: Harassing the Enemy with Heavy Steps
The two armies were separated by ten miles, under the city of Meiyang, and both sides set up company camps.
To say that Zhang Wen is worthy of being a big farmer, blocking horses and trenches, he can dig pits better than Lu Zhi, and he went out for more than a month, but he didn't fight the war, but he snuggled up in Meiyang City and started Tuntian.
The officers and soldiers were well-armoured, with bows and crossbows, and a battalion of heavy infantry, while the Huqiang rebels wore leather armor, but almost all of them rode lightly.
The two sides confronted Meiyang and friction, but no one dared to attack easily.
What kind of formation can 100,000 soldiers and horses put on?
It was late at night, and the outside of Meiyang City seemed to have turned into a port city that never sleeps.
The torch is bright, the endless tents build out the harbor of the land, the military tents of the Han people, the tents of the Hu people, the barking of dogs, and the chanting of hundreds of miles of horses.
The military tents and battalions echoed each other, and most of the soldiers on both sides had rested. In front of a forward barracks of the rebels, the horses lined up, the spearmen stood spears, and the curses in the formation continued, but it was because hundreds of meters away from this battalion, Liu Cang's leader had been standing here silently for a long time.
"Throw a bow, shoot these bastards, shoot down one person, reward a cow!" There was a shout and scolding in the Huqiang camp, and I saw thousands of cavalrymen on horseback, letting their horses go shallow, as if they had no choice but to pull out the Hu bow.
"Boom~Boom~" The sound of the bowstring, the rain of arrows in the sky shot in the direction of Meiyang.
"Bitter!" Liu Cang shouted.
"Bitter! Bitter! Bitter! "The voice is ready to respond.
I saw Liu Cang holding Juque, not riding a war horse, standing between two hundred heavily armored infantry, Juque erected a mask, stepped heavily to stand a shield, and faced a rain of arrows, followed by the clanging of arrows.
Wearing black light Xuanjin armor, the arrow rain hits the body, if the rain hits, it is difficult to hurt the arrow rain directly.
The rain of arrows stopped, Liu Cang put down the giant que in his hand, and countless arrows were scattered around him, and Liu Cang ordered the two hundred heavy steps of the Flying Bear Infantry Battalion to show his body from behind the big shield.
"Hahaha!" After Liu Cang's entourage, at a distance of 50 meters, there were 500 heavy armored infantry wantonly laughing, and 300 cavalry troops on both sides of the party carried iron halberds on their shoulders and immediately looked at the Huqiang camp tent from afar.
"Despicable officers and soldiers! Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat! Liu Haoxuan, without the badger beast, you won't be able to fight!? Hu Ren scolded, but Liu Cang and his party were still unmoved.
Seeing that the arrow rain couldn't help the other side, especially Liu Cang, who was drenched in the arrow rain alone, the morale of the opposite side rose again and again, and the Hu Renqi general was crazy in his heart.
"Made, what did the marshal say? Attack or not?! Without saying a word, the cavalry general scolded and asked the herald beside him.
"The generals have orders, just keep an eye on them, if they dare to rush forward and kill, allow us to withdraw and gather with the surrounding camps to surround and kill them." The herald said.
"Damn, it's been two days, let Teng Limi change camps with us tomorrow, have all the cattle and sheep in the camp been transferred?" The rider cursed.
"It's all transferred." The herald's face was also depressed.
But it was Liu Cang who led the heavily armored infantry to run to the front of their camp in the middle of the night in the past two days, and he didn't shout or attack, and occasionally clapped his shield and roared, just standing silently.
Shoot them with arrows, but they can't shoot.
He ignored them, and feared that they would steal the camp.
Rush to kill, I'm afraid that my own battalion won't be able to gnaw at the other party.
asked for help and transferred troops to besiege and kill, and the commanders of each battalion were afraid that they would fall for the opponent's plan.
The Hu people have a headache, so they can only ask all the staff to prepare rope sleeves, just wait for the other party to attack the camp, and they can take away one by one, and they have to torture the other party to be willing.
A battalion is on guard, and the surrounding military camps are not Ansheng for the past two days, all the staff do not leave their swords, and they do not remove their armor when they sleep, but the rebel company camp is more than ten miles, and Liu Cang only makes trouble in this place, and after the initial attention, the rebels are also at their toss.
At this time, on Meiyang City, unlike in the past, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and others had already stepped up to the city tower, and saw several soldiers under Liu Cang's command lighting a clay pot filled with fire oil.
The clay pots were of different sizes, and a group of eagles lifted the clay pots one after another and spread their wings and flew into the night sky, and Zhang Wen and his party were curious and suspicious in their eyes.
"Can an eagle still train like this?" Beside Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong took off his iron helmet with some confusion.
"It is rumored that the king of Dongping has obtained the Liu family's dragon control technique, is it really miraculous?" There was awe in Guo Yan's eyes, he was born as a Xiliang horse bandit, and he had heard the legends of many gods and gods of various ethnic groups, and he was somewhat immobile against this kind of thing.
"The old man only knows that he is good at raising badgers, so many eagles, but he doesn't know how to tame them like this." Dong Zhuo was also quite puzzled, turned his head to look at Zhang Wen, obviously Zhang Wen was no less curious than him in his eyes.
There are even more than a dozen vultures among the big withered eagle falcons, which were occasionally encountered on the way to Liangzhou, and were caught from the sky by Jin Zi with his little brother.
The eagle withering attack is more extreme, either not killed, or too ruthless, after pecking to death and catching a lot of birds, these more than a dozen vultures were included in the system and became the little brother of gold.
Hundreds of eagles flew high into the air with canisters of fire oil, dotted with stars, like ghost fires flying in the night sky, as the eagles flew high, the sparks were dark, and I saw this group of eagles scattered towards the rebel camps in all directions.
"This thing can be of great use, and the king of Dongping has the power of ghosts and gods with this skill alone." Thin Li Ru, standing in Dong Zhuo's shadow, when he whispered, he thought in his heart, in the future, he was elected as a scout to pay attention to the sky, and he needed to prepare a fire extinguishing team, maybe he should also try to train this kind of eagle.
"Marshal, this fire attack strategy may have a miraculous effect, but the rebel cavalry is numerous, coming and going like the wind, but the army should not go out of the city, and the pursuit should not go deep." Dong Zhuo suppressed the taboo in his heart and said to Zhang Wen.
"Well, I have already told General Liu about the enemy army in detail." Zhang Wen nodded in response.
At this time, everyone saw that Liu Cang's command on the side once again put out a fire pot, as if waiting for the eagle to return, and a group of slave soldiers under the city took tigers, bears, chickens and sheep out of the city and walked in the direction of Liu Cang.
"It is.
。? Bao Hong was puzzled again.
"Marshal, why don't you send some more soldiers to cooperate with General Liu? Don't let the rebels laugh at our army. Sun Jian had a strange expression and said to Zhang Wen.
A herd of wild beasts, two rhinos and a covered bear, are terrifying, ligres? It can barely be used as a deterrent, and everyone only thinks that Liu Cang wants to use the beast as a combat force.
But you're all on the chickens and sheep, and this can't be laughed at on the battlefield?
"Hehe, strange people, Dongping Wang is also strange." Li Ru said with a smile on the side, and he couldn't tell whether it was praise or ridicule.
"Marshal, why don't you release two thousand cavalry?" Dong Zhuo asked Zhang Wen.
"Let's get out of the thousand cavalry, Wentai and transfer the remaining cavalry, along the river to prevent the rebels from taking advantage of the chaos to flee eastward." Zhang Wen pondered, saw that a camp of the rebels seemed to be on fire, and said to Sun Jian.
"Whoa." Sun Jian received the order, and behind him, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao quickly followed him down the city tower.
"The generals returned to their respective camps and led the troops to garrison." Zhang Wen instructed Dong Zhuo and others again, and the generals took the order to leave, and Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Peng still stayed in the city tower.
"General Liu is so harassing the enemy, don't anger the enemy, but it will be troublesome for him to attack the east." Everyone left, Zhou Shen said worriedly.
"The rebels will die if they march eastward, but we must not be criticized. However, since we set out on the expedition, we have not lacked the most, and I am afraid that it will be criticized. Hehe. Yuan Fan's face was blank, and as soon as his voice fell, Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen avoided Yuan Fan's gaze.
Honest people are easy to bully, but it doesn't mean that honest people don't know that they are being bullied. Moreover, Zhang Wen and Yuan Peng, I am afraid that not many people dare to treat them as honest people.
The official armament battle, at this time, Liu Cang also changed before the formation, only to see the beasts staying in the rear, an armored rhinoceros, and a heavy armored bear swaying through the front formation, staying beside Liu Cang.
The Hu Qiang soldiers on the opposite side saw Liu Cang turn over and ride on the rhinoceros, his eyes widened: Rhinoceros? Is there a rhinoceros? Can this thing be used as a mount?
Riding this thing, how do you block it?
"Stop the horse! Hurry up and stop the horse! The Hu Qiang soldiers shouted urgently, and there seemed to be a faint sound of commotion from other barracks in the distance.
