On June 25, the Wei army in Handan dispatched 100,000 troops, of which 60% were occupied by the Su Wang army, and the remaining 40% were the Wei Wu army under the command of the general Shaohu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the 100,000 troops came to the area of the high wall, the Han general stationed in the area of the high wall, Taiyuan Shoulian Barge, climbed the high wall and looked at the Wei army coming from afar, and it was inevitable that he was a little surprised.

Lian Di originally thought that after feeling the momentum of his Wu'an Han army's "vow to seize Handan" this time, the Wei army should choose to retreat to Handan.

Because in his opinion, the Wei army has conquered Handan, the royal capital of their Korea, and the purpose of the demonstration has been achieved, and next, being able to hold Handan is the primary consideration for maximizing the post-war benefits from their Korea.

What he didn't expect was that the Wei army was much tougher than he expected, as if he disdained to "take advantage of the city wall" and was determined to defeat his Wu'an Han army under fair circumstances - it is no exaggeration to say that the Wei army's momentum was not inferior to the Wu'an Han army that "swore to take Handan".

"Interesting...... Wei Gongzi runs ......'

Even though they were opposed to each other, Lian Di also had a slight impression of Wei Gongzirun, the commander of the Wei side who occupied Handan.

He didn't care so much, in his opinion, Wei Gongzi Run dared to lead his troops out of the city to fight him outside the city, he could be called a young hero.

At this moment, the only regret is that it is said that Wei Gongzirun is only nineteen years old, and he is also a wise general who has no power to restrain the chicken, otherwise, wouldn't it be beautiful if he could fight with such a young hero?

But after thinking about it again, the regret in Lian Di's heart was immediately replaced by excitement, after all, he heard that Wu Ji, the general of the merchant army who killed the cavalry general Xin Zan on the battlefield in Jixian County, was the general under the command of Wei Gongrun.

"Give the order to meet the enemy!"

Standing on the high wall, with a wave of his hand, Lian Jie's 30,000 Taiyuan troops under his command were lined up in the open space in front of the high wall, ready to engage the Wei army.

In all fairness, at this time, Lian Di was waiting for reinforcements - the Handan Wei army was almost in full swing, and it was impossible for Wu'an not to receive the message, so it was not surprising that after a while, Hou Han Wu would personally lead a large army to help.

At that time, Ma Hao's Shanggu Army, Qin Kai's Yuyang Army, and the army of Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, will all participate in the war one after another.

Even the army under the command of the tyrant - although the tyrant himself was injured and could no longer be on the battlefield in person, he handed over the military power to Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, who also belonged to the "royal party", and asked Li Mu to command the army under his command.

Coupled with the defeat of Feng Ying and Jin Di, it can be said that the military strength of the Han army in Wu'an this time will not be much inferior to the Wei army.

However, Lian Di did not have the slightest intention of retreating to the high wall and waiting for reinforcements, even though he only had 30,000 troops under his command, he also put on a posture to fight the Wei army.

This situation also surprised Zhao Hongrun and the general Shaohu.

"Taiyuan Army...... Could it be that this Korean army is the Korean army that repelled General Jiang Wei in Jinyang, Taiyuan? ”

When watching the enemy's situation before the battle, the general Shaohu asked Zhao Hongrun with a little surprise.

Zhao Hongrun looked at the banner of the 'Taiyuan Army' fluttering along the high wall in the distance, frowned and said: "If there are no two 'Taiyuan Shou' in South Korea, then the master of this Korean army should be the Korean army." ”

The general Shaohu frowned when he heard this, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Of course, this unhappy mood is not aimed at Zhao Hongrun, but at the Han general Lian Fu on the opposite side: I want him Shaohu to join forces with His Royal Highness King Su Hongrun to gather 100,000 troops to attack the high wall, but Lian Jie, who is on the other side, dares to use 30,000 soldiers to pose to meet the enemy, which is obviously not taking him and Zhao Hongrun in his eyes.

Coupled with the fact that Lian Di had defeated their Wei general, Jiang Wei, this made Shao Hu think that he would face that Lian Jie.

Therefore, he turned to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and said, "Please Your Highness plundered the formation for our army." ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

In fact, when they decided to go to war, he and Shaohu did not discuss the matter of "who is responsible for the main attack", after all, they both knew that whether it was Su Wangjun or Wei Wujun, they were the elite of his Wei State, and they would never be inferior to the army of the "Sixth Battalion of the Garrison".

However, now that Shaohu said this, it shows that Shaohu is ready to use the army of the opposite Han general Lian as the touchstone of his Wei Wushu's initial battle.

In fact, to be more honest, Wei Wushu under the command of Shaohu has encountered a lot of battles since he joined the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, but in those battles, the Wei Wujun participated in the war halfway as an assistant army, just to help the Shanyang Army or the Southern Yan Army, and in addition, it was either as an ambush, and in the real sense as the main force on the battlefield, this was really the first time.

Thinking about it, Shaohu also hoped to prove the strength of the second-generation Wei Wujun under his command through this war, lest some people in China attack the army under his command with words, thinking that his second-generation Wei Wujun is not worthy of the name and is not worthy of the name of "Great Wei Wujun".

Looking at the firm eyes of the great general Shaohu, Zhao Hongrun shrugged helplessly and agreed to the matter.

Who made this Shaohu general in front of him the commander-in-chief of their northern Xinjiang armies.

"The king hereby wishes the general a victorious return in advance!" Zhao Hongrun congratulated.

"His Royal Highness's auspicious words." Shao Hu hugged his fist towards Zhao Hongrun, then said goodbye to the latter, and commanded his Wei Wujun to move forward slowly.

At this time, the Wei army on the battlefield gradually changed, and the Su Wang army, which was originally the front team, gradually retreated to the north and south flanks of the battlefield, putting on a crane wing formation, and the Wei Wu army replaced their original position.

Seeing this change in the formation of the Wei army, General Han Lian was originally a little disappointed, because he wanted to fight with the army under Wei Gongzi Run, instead of the "Wei Wu Army", which has no prestige in the two Northern Frontier Battles.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Lian Di felt that the name "Wei Wujun" was really familiar - this was not the most prestigious infantry army of the Wei State a hundred years ago, but it was later destroyed in Shangdang County.

"Wei rebuilt this army?"

Lian Di touched his chin with interest, and thought ill-intentionedly: If he destroyed this Wei Wu army again, would this be a blow to the Wei army?

But such a relaxed idea immediately disappeared as Wei Wushu quickly set up a formation to meet the enemy.

Because with his innate keen intuition, Lian Di was quite surprised to find that the momentum of the Wei Wu army on the opposite side was very strong, which made him put away his underestimating mentality.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

As the three military trumpets sounded, Wei Wujun began to approach the area around the high wall.

I have to say that when the war reached this situation, the generals of Wei and Han had nothing to say to each other, it was nothing more than seeing the truth under their hands.

Seeing this, Lian Dao waved his hand and ordered his infantry to move forward.

Due to the character of the commanders of both sides, the Wei Wujun and the Taiyuan Han Army did not have a situation of "one side attacking, one side defending", but both hoped to overwhelm each other in momentum, which made the two armies not yet meet, and the solemn and tense atmosphere had already ignited the battlefield, so that the generals of both sides on the battlefield seemed to feel the atmosphere of the decisive battle.

Even if it was Zhao Hongrun, who had led the army for many years, he couldn't help but tighten the reins at this time, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for the general Shaohu - Shaohu and Lian Jie, in fact, are two generals who have just faced each other, like two fierce tigers, and if they fight, they will be injured.

At this time on the battlefield, although the two armies of Taiyuan Han Army and Wei Wu Army had not yet engaged in close distance, they had launched a long-range offensive.

I saw the crossbowmen of the Korean army in Taiyuan launch a salvo, causing the rain of arrows in the sky to envelop the Wei Wu army, for a while, the arrows rained down, even if Zhao Hongrun, who was watching the battle in the rear, he pinched a cold sweat for Wei Wujun.

However, unexpectedly, Wei Wushu used the shield in his hand to protect the top of his head, and actually rushed over.

It can be vaguely seen that many Wei soldiers who were covered with arrows and looked like a live hedgehog were still alive and rushed into the formation of the Korean army in Taiyuan, which made many Han soldiers frightened - what the hell is this?!

Why is it that a person can move freely when his chest is full of arrows?

This scene, even if the soldiers and generals of the Suwang Army saw it, they were puzzled.

Maybe on the battlefield at this moment, Zhao Hongrun is the only one who knows the truth

In fact, the reason is very simple, don't look at those Wei soldiers' chests as if they were full of arrows, but in fact, the crossbow arrows of the Han army only pierced the first layer of armor on their bodies at best - yes, Wei Wushu is a heavy infantry wearing three layers of armor!

I remember that in the literature of the Zongfu, there is a description of the "First Wei Wushu": "The armor of the three genera of clothing, the crossbow of twelve stones, the negative arrow is fifty, the crown is on it, the crown is with a sword, and the food for three days is won, and the day is in the middle of the day and the hundred miles."

It means that Wei Wushu is wearing three layers of iron armor, can open a crossbow of twelve stones, each person carries fifty crossbow arrows, holds a long ge or iron halberd, a belt and a sword, carries three days of combat grain and grass, and can walk more than 100 miles in half a day.

Such a powerful Wei army, even today's Su Wang army is difficult to match, and it is really worthy of being the ace army of Wei.

Of course, these three-layer armor does not refer to iron armor like Su Wangjun, otherwise the three-layer armor is put on the body and the weight is as high as several hundred catties, so it would be really hellish if Wei Wushu could still move freely.

These three layers of armor refer to leather armor, that is, leather armor folded and sewn with thick cowhide, and the thickness of each layer of leather armor is about the width of the little finger, so that when wearing three layers of armor, the thickness of the armor is more than two knuckles, which can be called the thickest defense.

At that time, the Wei State was an era when the Central Plains countries had not yet developed strong iron armor, and Wei Wushu relied on the powerful defensive power of the three-layer armor to defeat the armies of various countries, so that the prestige of "Wei Wushu" resounded all over the world.

And now, the second-generation Wei Wushu follows the tradition of the first generation of Wei soldiers, and is also wearing three layers of armor, but now the three-layer armor of the second-generation Wei Wushu is not all leather armor, one of which has been replaced by inlaid armor.

Zhao Hongrun once felt that the reason why the first generation of Wei Wushu was wearing three-layer leather armor was only because he Wei had not yet developed a strong iron armor at that time, and since Wei now has wrought iron casting technology, leather armor should be eliminated.

But now, Zhao Hongrun suddenly discovered that when Wei Wushu, who was wearing three layers of leather armor and had a defensive power no less than that of iron armor, was on the battlefield, they had a natural deterrent to the enemy.

Think about it, don't you feel frightened when you see the enemy army with arrows stuck in its chest still rushing up alive?

Of course, this is just a joke that Zhao Hongrun used to calm his nervousness and entertain himself.

But it is undeniable that the scenario he guessed did happen on the battlefield.
