Chapter 923: Battle Chang'an (8)

According to the ancient orthodox algorithm, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others can at least have 150,000 to 200,000 troops......

Because in the Han Dynasty, according to the tradition left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ordinary people who were mobilized could actually be regarded as a soldier, so in later generations, we often saw tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of people, but in fact, those who could maintain high morale and fight on the front line were not really used for frontal combat, and the vast majority of them were forced labor, even slaves, etc., of course, the combat effectiveness of these back-up troops was not strong, so there were often situations where a transport brigade of two or three thousand people was easily defeated by hundreds of elite soldiers.

If the number of troops and laborers in all counties and counties in Chang'an is counted on the heads of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, then there is no problem with more than 150,000 properly, but in fact, the soldiers who really belong to Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are still these Xiliang veterans, and these Xiliang veterans, although there are more than 10,000 people before and after, but in fact, after Dong Zhuo's death, they have not been adequately supplied, so the damage to the war horses is particularly serious and has not been replenished.

In addition, Ma Teng Han then blocked the west, and Fei Qian blocked the north, so Li Guo and others could not recruit many Qiang cavalry, so Li Guo and others compared to history, the number of cavalry is much less.

Under such circumstances, if Fei sneaked straight into the hinterland of Chang'an, Li Guo and the others might not be able to draw out many cavalry to encircle and suppress and chase for a while.

Therefore, Li Meng and Wang Fang must attack with all their might, in order to break through the camp left by Fei Qian in the north of Sucheng as soon as possible, and then chase Fei Qian's cavalry to the south, and Li Dao Guo Yan and others to flank Fei Qian's cavalry, and solve the threat along the way before the whole situation becomes worse.

Li Meng has calculated, now the camp in the north left by Fei Qian, even if it is not an empty camp, is actually about the same, there can be no fewer people guarding the dam, and if there is less, there is no point at all, so at least a thousand people, then the camp is at most two thousand, and the most important thing is that it takes a lot of physical strength to build an interception dam, and most of the two thousand people in the camp must be replaced by the soldiers who built the dam to rest, and how much combat power such soldiers can maintain needs to be marked with a question mark......

Then, when Li Meng and Wang Fang attacked the camp together, it was equivalent to attacking a small number of physically exhausted troops, and this tired army only had foot soldiers, so as long as his cavalry broke into the camp, then the troops left behind by Fei Qian would not be able to stop Xiliang's cavalry, and they would inevitably suffer huge losses, and they would soon collapse, and they could return to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

"Attack now!" Li Meng kept his face calm and gave the order to attack.

The city gates in the three directions of Sucheng burst open, and a large number of soldiers swarmed out of them, and the first to rush to the front was the Xiliang cavalry led by Li Meng.

Such a big movement in the direction of Sucheng couldn't hide from anyone, so it wasn't surprising to see the sound of the gong ringing in the Feiqian camp, and now it was a critical moment!

The most important thing is speed!

Because Fei Qian wanted to seek a high ground in the north, he had to set up the camp relatively close to Sucheng, which was less than ten miles away, and at such a distance, it was simply close at hand!

When I saw Sucheng send troops, the rest of the troops who had built the dam in the ravine behind the camp wanted to come to the rescue, I am afraid that it would be a step too late, even if the situation was worse, now the rear immediately started digging the dam, it would take a while, and during this time, the soldiers of King Li Meng had already rushed to the high ground!

Taking a step back, perhaps the surging water will bring some losses to the infantry of the rapid sprint led by the king Fang, but it will definitely not damage the cavalry led by Li Meng, who is faster, and once the embankment is broken and the water is released, it is also doomed that the Feiqian camp on the hillside will become a lone army with no one to rescue!

"Quick! Fast! Li Meng brandished his sword and shouted loudly and urged. The camp wall, which is simply surrounded by tree branches, does not exist at all in Li Meng's eyes, and if it is secured with ropes, it can be easily pulled out of the gap!

And in the camp, Xun Chen followed behind Ma Yan and stood on the wooden stack of the camp, he knew that now was the most critical time, if everything went well......

However, compared to Xun Chen, who was a little nervous, Ma Yan's mentality was relatively more stable, because in fact, there was not much suspense so far, just to see that side could better grasp the beat on the battlefield.

Ma Yan raised his arms and shouted in a deep voice: "Sword and shield hands, spearmen array!" Archers come forward! ”

The gap between being confident and responding temporarily is manifested, if it is a hasty defense between them, it is inevitable that there will be some differences, and if you are prepared at the beginning, whether it is a general or a soldier, when facing the expected things, whether it is action or mentality, it is naturally different.

The more urgent the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side were, the more ferocious the attack, the more Ma Yan had to behave freely and steadily, so that the soldiers left behind in the camp could exert 100% strength.

The soil slope where the camp is stationed is actually not high, the drop is five or six meters, the key is that it is not steep, and it is very flat on all sides, so Li Meng and the cavalry did not directly impact the soil slope at all, but under the soil slope, divided into two arcs, and went around the rear of the camp obliquely......

Li Meng, who was in the middle of the gallop, raised his arm and roared loudly: "Throw!" Suppress the battlements of the camp! ”

At the sound of the order, one arrow after another shot out of the Xiliang cavalry ranks, drawing high arcs and throwing them towards the camp on the dirt slope.

"Raise your shield!" Ma Yan in the camp ordered, and then said to Xun Chen beside him, "Xun Zhen, go to the camp to avoid it first?" ”

Xun Chen and Ma Yan were surrounded by guards, holding shields to block the arrows that were thrown up.

Xun Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "It's okay, it's also inconvenient here." Captain Ma let it go, and he entered the account first and waited for good news. ”

After a short period of tension, Xun Chen has adjusted, from now on, the opponent is not bad, knows how to pull the defense system of the camp, and then attack around the back, then it is equivalent to the camp has to face the infantry that is rushing in front, and defend against the Xiliang cavalry behind, if it is not guarded, it will not really be in a hurry, but if the Xiliang soldiers want to win, it is far from enough......

Ma Yan laughed, nodded and said, "Good! Come on, smoke! Drumming! With Ma Yan's order, three thick clouds of smoke rose from the middle of the camp and soared into the sky......
