Seven years of Zhengyang, deep winter.

It snowed a few days ago, and now the northern part of the empire is snow-white.

The war, with the Son of Heaven's attack against the rebellion, broke out in full force.

The Northwest Army went out of Huling Pass and entered the territory of Qi, and without any intervention from the Qi royal court, they entered Shu all the way, and detoured all the way from Qi to the territory of the Son of Heaven.

After learning about this, the Western Chu and Eastern Min sides also made a quick response, and before the Northwest Army arrived at the territory of the Son of Heaven, the two countries gathered 200,000 troops outside the border between the Qi State and the territory of the Son of Heaven.

Look at the posture and vow to defeat this army, which is known as the strongest army in the northwest, on the frontal battlefield.

After all, this army can be said to be the strongest army that the Son of Heaven can come up with, as long as the Northwest Army is defeated, the world will have no one to protect the Son of Heaven, even if it is Zhao Kuan, the king of Ye, he can only take the Ye Kingdom into a passive situation.

It's just that the reason why the Northwest Army can be called the strongest army in the Northwest is that it is so easy to defeat?

In this world, the armies that want to defeat the Northwest Army are not only one or two, but they have all become dust in history.

When he learned about the situation in the northwest and Dongmin, Chu Yujia immediately made a decision, personally took over the command, and personally led the Black Guard Battalion and the Modao Heavy Armored Cavalry to join the camp of the Feixue Battalion and the Liantian Battalion, leaving the Qi realm and entering the territory of the Son of Heaven.

This time, the army that came out of Huling Pass with Chu Yujia was not only the Northwest Army, which was purely composed of Ye people, but also the 30,000 servant army composed of the former grassland people and the current Xinye people.

Although they are nominally servant troops, in fact the combat effectiveness of these people is not much worse than that of the Northwest Army.

Otherwise, the tribes of the steppe would not have survived the strangulation of the Northwest Army for many years.

Of course, there are reasons why they are fast and mobile, and the Northwest Army cannot catch up, but it is more because of their combat effectiveness.

Almost every time the Northwest Army and the tribes of the steppe met, it was a bloody battle.

It doesn't matter if the two parties have a deep feud in the sea of blood, or if the two parties don't fight, they don't know each other, but now they are all Ye people.

Now that Ye has reached this point, they have no reason not to go to war.

What's more, Chu Yujia also had the intention of letting them participate in the battle together, wanting to test the combat effectiveness of these new Ye people on the battlefield.

At this point, the 90,000 horses of the Northwest Army passed through the Qi realm and entered the territory of the Son of Heaven.

After penetrating into the territory of the Son of Heaven for hundreds of miles, the Northwest Army finally met the Western Chu and Eastern Min coalition forces.

I don't know how many people there are in the coalition army, let alone whether it is 200,000 people pouring out, but as far as the eye can see, the mountains and fields are full of coalition soldiers.

Yan Tianrui and Chu Haojie were at the forefront of the military formation, and they each led the Feixue Battalion and Lian Tian Battalion to advance in a neat battle formation.

The servant army was at the front with the light cavalry of the Northwest Army, and in the rear were the foot soldiers of the Northwest Army.

At this moment, they are like a group of tigers waiting for an opportunity to move, waiting for the enemy to show their flaws, and then bite the enemy to death and tear them apart.

The allied non-commissioned officers also began to advance slowly, stopping at a distance of five hundred paces from the Northwest Army, and then began to form battle formations.

There were obviously big men on the coalition side, too, and it took less than a quarter of an hour from the formation to the end.

Like the Northwest Army, they placed their cavalry at the front, followed by the infantry.

The combined cavalry of the two countries does not exceed 20,000 people, which is already a big deal compared to ordinary princes, but compared with the pure cavalry corps of the Northwest Army, where foot soldiers have become a rare species, these cavalry are really not enough.

It was also at this time that the combined forces of the two countries began to act, and the heralds in the army formation were constantly shuttling, and the 50,000 cavalry of the front army began to slowly come out of the formation, and at the same time ordered 100,000 foot soldiers to press the formation behind and attack at any time.

These 50,000 cavalry pressed towards the Northwest Army from the left and right flanks respectively, and a big battle was about to break out.

Seeing this, Chu Yujia was not in a hurry, and ordered: "Yan Tianrui, Chu Haojie." ”

"The last general!"

The two generals intervened in unison to give the salute.

"I order you two to lead 20,000 cavalry to meet the enemy army on the left flank. ”

"The last will obey. ”

The two immediately received the order, and rode into the middle of the formation, and then 20,000 cavalry drove out of the formation and met the left cavalry of the two allied forces.

"Baenkang. ”

"The end will be. ”

"I command you to lead an army of 30,000 servants and cavalry to meet the enemy on the right flank. ”

"The last will obey. ”

After saying that, Ba Enkang drove out of the army formation with the cavalry of the servant army and began to meet the two coalition forces on the right flank.

After the two armies separated to meet the enemy, Chu Yujia also led 40,000 foot soldiers and Modao heavy armor cavalry to meet the front army of the two coalition armies.

From beginning to end, there were only two tactics of the Northwest Army, either guerrilla warfare that made you dizzy, or it was tough and rigid.

You can defeat me head-on, that's your ability, if you can't beat me, then how I treat you, don't blame me for being ruthless.

In an instant, the armies of both sides marched against each other like a tidal wave, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves made the earth tremble.

After all, the combined forces of the two countries are southern armies and have not been in contact with the nomads, so they are very different from the northwestern armies, even if they are equipped with weapons, they are just a spear.

In order to fight against the nomads, the Northwest Army changed from spears and spears to three weapons, a long weapon, a short weapon, and a light bow.

This characteristic was reformed again after Chu Yujia took office.

Because of the existence of such a character as Meng Feihang in the army, the gun used by the cavalry of the Northwest Army is a hook sickle gun, with a barb on one side, which can be stabbed, cut and hooked.

The short weapon equipped with is an extremely sharp horizontal knife, and when the cavalry is in a melee at the end of the first wave of sprints, the long weapon has almost become a burden, and then the short knife can be drawn and the opponent can fight in close combat.

As for the light bow, it is very simple, and it can kill enemies from a distance before they make contact.

The soldiers who can be cavalry pawns in the Northwest Army are all proficient in cavalry and archery, and their cavalry arrow array is also a nightmare existence for the enemy.

And in addition to these three weapons, many of the soldiers' horses were equipped with ten short spears for throwing.

Spear throwing tactics In the previous grassland battlefield, Chu Yujia had already made the grassland tribe suffer enough.

On the part of the coalition forces, this point has obviously been ignored.

They only remembered the shame of Chu Yujia leading 3,000 people to block their tens of thousands of attacks in the Fengchuan Valley before, but they forgot that the Northwest Army had not lost a single cavalry duel within the Mingwu Empire so far.

In a war, the combat capability of a single person is important, and the command and deployment of the commander is equally important.

On top of these two points, if you add sharp knives and guns, and hard armor, it will greatly increase the chances of victory.

The Northwest Army, of course, did not have hard armor, but they had sharp knives and guns.

In this battle, the Northwest Army is determined to win.

In this battle, the Northwest Army could only win, not lose, let alone lose......

Chu Yujia stared at the crowd of coalition forces in front of him, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he sneered: "Today, I will let you guys who are quiet and happy in the south know how my northern boys fight. ”
