Chapter 188: Northern Wolf Ride
"It's because I know it, so I can't let him be tossed anymore!"
The original Jinyang Assassin Mansion has now become the palace of the Northern Qi rebels. Gao Yanzong, who formally rebelled against himself as Emperor Dechang www.biquge.info, faced the doubts of his subordinates and said what he thought.
"Gao Wei has no way, appoints traitorous ministers, persecuts loyal and good, and regards war as child's play, causing the country to perish!
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Those former high-ranking officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not dare to say more, and prostrate in front of Gao Yanzong and shouted long live.
In fact, in their eyes, Gao Yanzong and Gao Wei are just a raccoon dog, and no one is a little better.
Gao Yanzong is the half-brother of Gao Changgong, the famous general of the Northern Qi royal family, Lanling Wang, but the personalities of the two brothers are completely different.
The king of Lanling is brave and good at fighting, loves the generals, treats people kindly, and his personal character can be said to be an alternative among the Northern Qi royal family, and is deeply loved by the government and the opposition. But it was precisely because of the prestige of King Lanling that Gao Wei was jealous and jealous, which caused him to be killed.
In contrast, the difference between Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong is more than one and a half stars.
Gao Yanzong was a standard Northern Qi royal family, who was extravagant, mean, and unkind, and had many illegal behaviors, and even fed people (Yoneda Gong) for fun when he was young. It can be said that in addition to being brave and good at fighting, he is really not like his brother at all.
But even so, Gao Yanzong still relied on his identity as Gao Changgong's younger brother to easily obtain the command of the northern wolf cavalry left by his brother, and with this iron army, he successfully usurped the throne.
If you ignore the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Zhou outside the city......
Gao Yanzong was also anxious in his heart, the enemy of Northern Qi was not just Northern Zhou. Jianghuai has been occupied by Nan Chen, and after his northern wolf rides south, the Turks will definitely come to get a piece of the pie. What he wants is not a broken Northern Qi, but a complete world!
And if you want to keep Daqi, you must first get through this difficult time in front of you!
"The Zhou army is besieging the city, and it is too much to deceive people! Open the city immediately, and I will fight to the death with the Zhou army!" Gao Yanzong patted the imperial case, and his eyes shot a breathtaking and determined gaze.
"Your Majesty, no! The Zhou division is menacing, and the soldiers in Jinyang City are not prepared......" Tang Yong, the new prime minister of Qi State, hurriedly jumped out to object. Although Gao Yanzong is domineering, he is still a normal person compared to Gao Wei, and he will not kill people casually, and they still dare to raise objections.
"Where can the army be able to defeat the wolf riders in the north?" Needless to say, I have made up my mind, and those who dare to speak will be killed!" However, Tang Yong's idea was wrong, and Gao Yanzong, who became the emperor, gradually became as rigid and self-serving as Gao Wei.
There is a magic power in that throne that can make those who sit on it listen to disloyalty.
Gao Yanzong's words revealed a strong threat, and Tang Yong shivered and retreated in fear. In the final analysis, it is still the world of his Gao family, and others are making a lot of noise!
The east wind blows, the war drums beat, and the neighing of thousands of horses shakes the world!
The gates opened, and the wolves rode out, shouting in unison!
The Northern Qi wolf cavalry, which had been guarding the frontier in the north of Qi and crisscrossing the battlefield with Turkic iron cavalry, appeared on the battlefield against the Zhou army for the first time, and instantly changed the situation on the battlefield.
Yu Wenyong was complacent at that time, and when he saw that Gao Yanzong actually dared to open the city to fight, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly dispatched a large army to press on it, hoping to destroy the Northern Qi in one go!
But who knows, it was this northern wolf rider who gave Yu Wenyong a big slap in the face!
He confused the army in front of him with the Northern Qi "soft-footed shrimp" he had encountered on the battlefield before. And the facts told him that it was not that there was no one in Northern Qi, but that he had not encountered it.
The wolf cavalry in the northern territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty is a unique invincible iron army established by Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, who integrates the characteristics of the most difficult wolf cavalry in the Turkic iron cavalry and the local cavalry of the Han family. Relying on their hard work, the Northern Qi was able to resist the invasion of the Turks, a newly emerging steppe beast, in the difficult realm of only three points of the Chinese world. After Gao Changgong's death, Gao Yanzong inherited the northern wolf cavalry, and carried it forward, expanding the army from only tens of thousands of elite cavalry to more than 100,000 fully armored tiger and wolf divisions.
The wolf rode in the north, one man and two horses. Everyone is equipped with a two-stone strong bow and a cavalry hand crossbow, and the enemy is engaged, before the engagement, they will rely on the strong bow to throw bows and arrows, kill and wound the enemy, and then change horses and retreat, and use bows and arrows to make precise strikes while retreating, and then take out the hand crossbow with good crossbow arrows to sneak attack when the enemy approaches. Basically, after these rounds of long-range strikes, there was not much left of the enemy's forces. At this time, he pulled out the scimitar in his waist and turned back to face the enemy, and he was victorious and undefeated.
This method of warfare was learned and evolved by Gao Changgong from the combat habits of the Turkic wolf cavalry, and has been passed down as the traditional combat method of the northern wolf cavalry. In the Turkic steppe, the northern wolf cavalry defeated the Turkic coalition army many times, and the prestige was great, which greatly frightened the Turkic khans at that time, and gradually reined in the bad habit of going south to plunder every autumn and winter, and changed to trade with the Northern Qi in exchange for living materials.
However, the prestige of the wolf rider in the north is no longer strong, because it has never intervened in the war between Zhou and Qi because of the prevention of Turkic invasions in the north. Zhou Jun didn't pay much attention to it, and even if Yu Wenyong heard it, he only thought that it was just Northern Qi exaggerating its military might, and didn't take it seriously.
However, as a result, this contempt caused his Northern Zhou army to suffer serious losses, and also dealt a major blow to his dream of destroying the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Yuwen Yong sat in the Chinese army, commanded the Flying Eagle Iron Cavalry to confront Gao Yanzong at the east gate of Jinyang, and before the battle, he saw a rain of arrows falling from the sky. The Zhou army did not budget for the attack range of the Qi army, and suffered a big loss by injuring thousands of people at once. When Yuwen Yong finally stabilized the morale of the army and launched a charge, Gao Yanzong led the northern wolf to ride and fight and retreat. They were all one man and two horses, and they were able to change freely, and their arrows were accurate, which caused more serious losses to the Northern Zhou army.
The feeling of being beaten passively and not being able to catch up with you is really uncomfortable. Yu Wenyong's anger gradually came up, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, he personally led the reinforcements to support, and when he was about to catch up, he was turned again by a crossbow.
Almost all the people around Yuwen Yong were dead, but the Qi army didn't even touch a single hair. Qi Jun turned around and fought back, he himself was already cornered, and he was about to die and die for his country. Fortunately, he was stopped by the guards beside him, took off his clothes, and put on Gao Yanzong, who pretended to be the emperor and led back to fight back, which saved his life and allowed him to get out.
After this battle, Yuwen Yong lost his troops and lost his generals, gritting his teeth with hatred, but he was suffering from no good way to break the enemy, and gradually moved back to Chang'an's mind.
