Chapter 113: Iron Float

"Prime Minister! The 100,000 army of the Huns invaded Wuhuan, this matter! How's it going? Dongfang Yu asked as he walked.

In fact! As an ally of Wuhuan, no one can sit idly by in a crisis. After all! The Xiongnu are powerful, and they can compete with the strength of one race.

Let's just say that the total strength of Wuhuan has reached more than 80,000, and after a lot of turmoil in the clan, there should be more than 70,000 people, of course! This total strength is naturally not counted as the Praetorian Guards guarding the royal court, if it is considered a forbidden army, the strength of Wuhuan should be around 80,000.

And the Qin army, excluding the Xuanjia army, the secret guard, and the forbidden army, the total strength should be about 85,000, and these 85,000 soldiers are troops that can be mobilized to the battlefield at any time. Now that the two armies have combined their total strength, they can at least seek self-protection when there is enough food and grass.

Tian Ping frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his expression, and said: "Since the king returned to Beijing, the general of Beiliang will be entrusted to the ministers, and the ministers will not dare to slack off in the slightest. ”

"Because of the Wuhuan tribe, the frontier is really urgent, and the 100,000 Xiongnu army is already in the city! And I, Daqin, as an ally of the Wuhuan clan, naturally can't stand by and watch! The minister has made his own opinion, and ordered Jianwei General Ma Chao and Mighty General Pei Yuanqing to lead 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry troops, a total of 20,000 horses, to go to Wuhuan. ”

"It has been ordered to be stationed on the left side of the Xiongnu army, echoing with the defenders of Wuhuan Border City! Your Majesty thinks that this is the only way! Only then can the Hun soldiers be contained! ”

Dongfang Yu couldn't help but nod his head slightly, and then said: "The prime minister has done a very good job!" ”

"Herald! Order the generals of Beiliang to come to the palace to see Gu immediately! He said, "There are important things to discuss with the generals." ”

"No!"

Prince Huerkang, this kid is very shrewd, I'm afraid! Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing are two brave men, it's not good! will suffer a big loss. After all! Playing strategy and courage, Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing will not be too bad, but if they want to play conspiracy and tricks, the two of them can't compare, these princes and princes who often live in the inner palace and play with power.

After nearly ten days of waiting, the Hun army finally made a move.

Huerkang personally sat in the town, 40,000 troops, under the pressure of the border pass, in addition! Hundreds of catapults, siege vehicles, etc., are all ready.

"Today! Let's talk about the Wuhuan army, the beginning of the nightmare. Huerkang smiled knowingly.

Seem! It was premeditated.

Knock knock!

Horn blowing! War drums beat!

Not only did Wuhuan Border City blow the horn and beat the war drums, but even Ma Chao's department was also ready to go and quickly assemble a large army.

The entire grassland battlefield was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Upstairs in the border gate...

The Wuhuan soldiers were nervously busy. Let's be honest! In the ten days of the Huns, they watched but did not attack, and the fighting spirit of most of the soldiers had already slackened a lot.

"General! How's it going? Gounod hurriedly climbed the tower and asked.

Gu Long said: "Don't worry, the king! With the 40,000 troops in our border city and the 20,000 troops of the Qin army, a total of 60,000 troops, the Huns have lost their greatest advantage in this war. ”

"Hmm!"

But! Gounod has always had a bad premonition in his heart, and he just feels that something is wrong!

He was thinking, the Huns were divided into three battalions, left, center, and right, of which! Under the attack of the Qin army, the Zuo battalion suffered heavy losses, with more than 10,000 casualties, and then! He also sent the general Agu Lang to re-station the left camp and defend the left camp.

But so far! The right camp at the mouth of the mountain pass is cold and terrible, as if! The 20,000 troops of the right battalion didn't do anything else except sleep a day.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, Hu Yanzhuo is a famous general in the grassland, in the Great Liao Empire, Hu Yanzhuo is both civil and military, and the ten generals of the Great Liao are ranked eighth, and their ability is certainly not low.

As Gounod thought...

At this time, in the right camp of the Huns, except for some symbolic old and weak soldiers, the main force of Hu Yanzhuo's 20,000 army had already been emptied and there was no trace.

What King Wuhuan and the front-line army didn't know was that Hu Yanzhuo led an army of 20,000 five days ago and quietly left the camp! Right now! The soldiers who remained in the right battalion were the Hun soldiers who had been defeated from the left battalion and the wounded.

Huerkang was still worried before, Huyanzhuo's army was exhausted, and it was inevitable to leave 5,000 troops to cover people's eyes and ears and blind the eyes of the Wuhuan people. Now it's good! The 20,000 troops of the Zuo battalion only took one night, and they became defeated in an instant, with countless wounded. Directly transport the defeated army and wounded soldiers of the left battalion to the right battalion.

So!

Where did Hu Yanzhuo's 20,000 main forces go!

"Hahaha!"

"I want to go around to the back of the Wuhuan Royal Court, but I have wasted a lot of general strength?" Hu Yanzhuo ecstasy.

Behind! The flag covered the sky, and the army of 20,000 stood with their eyes on.

10,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry.

Thereinto! There were five thousand cavalrymen, strangely dressed, walking and clattering! It seems that he is wearing a suit of iron armor, and there is also a war horse, which is also wearing an iron armor. This army is like the Xuanjia Army under Dongfang Yu.

This 5,000 cavalry is the Xiongnu and even the world-famous iron army, named Tiefutu.

Tiefutu is also known as Tiefutu, which means iron tower in Buddhism.

Iron Float! It belongs to the heavy cavalry, that is, the cavalry that wears heavy armor and attacks the enemy formation, and together with the abducted horses and horses, they accompanied Huerkang to the south and the north, and made great achievements.

The main force of the Liao cavalry could only be the light and medium-sized left and right flank cavalry "Kidnapping Horse", not the heavy cavalry "Tiefutu". This is because ancient heavy armor was very expensive and could not be equipped on a large scale, and because heavy cavalry had to fight while bearing the weight of armor, they had to have a superhuman physique.

Why is that? Why was Hu Yanzhuo so slow on the march, he should have bypassed the mountains and mountains in three days to reach the position west of Wuhuan. It is all because the Iron Floating Tu is slow to move, and it is not as good as the light cavalry, and in terms of combat, the general cavalry belongs to the charge. And the Iron Float served as a tank for the army.

The Liao army's "Tiefutu" also has another characteristic: in some occasions that are not conducive to heavy cavalry combat, they often dismount and use them as hoplites.

Tiefutu standard armor, heavy armored cavalry with many horses, the heavy armor of the golden heavy cavalry is called "Tiefutu", and the three horses are connected and called "kidnapping horses".

Daliao Iron Armor Tower-shaped Heavy Armor, "Tiefutu" really refers to the shape of the armor like a tower, and its armor is not a small armor leaf, but a plate-like long armor with a strong sense of layering, which is circled layer by layer on the body.

……

Of course! Daliao Tiefutu, with this equipment, can indeed be regarded as the pinnacle of Dawu's troops at this time. But if compared with the Xuanjia Army under Dongfang Yu, Tiefutu is simply a piece of scrap iron.

The armor of the Xuanjia Army, in the armor or vest, its degree of protection and weight must be optimized to the Iron Floating Massacre.
