Chapter Seventy-One: Dai Yu Leads the Troops
A smile crossed the corner of Dai Yu's mouth, Lu Jing is simply crazy. He actually used 5,000 Han troops to attack his phalanx of 3,000 cavalry. It seems that the imperial court has put a lot of pressure on him, otherwise he would not have made such a move as a taishou.
This is the first time Dai Yu has led the troops, and the people who used to follow Yun Xiao only need to obey the general's orders. Now that I am leading the army, I know how difficult it is to manage these guys who kill people without blinking. Xiongyue City is very poor, and there are only more than 1,000 people. Even if the guards let go of the strong, they won't be able to grab much, not to mention that Hou Ye's general order is not allowed to rob the Han people.
However, the apples in this place are good, and I heard that the hot springs are also very good. It's just that it's summer, and you can eat apples, but don't wash the hot springs.
"Dai Ye, these officials really don't take the lives of soldiers as their lives." Qi Tie, the chief of the guard, said.
"Humph! The court pressed down, and they had no choice but to fight with the lives of these soldiers. Even if they take this Xiongyue City, will they be able to defend it? At the end of the day, the lives of conscripts are not worth much. No matter how much you die, these bitches won't blink an eye. Jin Biao, another captain of the guard, snorted.
"Alright, let the brethren disperse. Consume them with iron-tired crossbows, fly kites and kill them. This time, Lu Jing's dog head must be cut off, and such a dog official will kill one less one. β
Dai Yu looked at the Han army that began to charge more than a thousand cloths away, and said helplessly. A general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops, and these are all Han troops in front of him. Although they are temporarily recruited soldiers, these men are also the pillars of the family. For a family, the death of one is equivalent to the collapse of the sky.
Such an impact is meaningless. Cavalry is known for its mobility. Take this group of infantry for a while, and these soldiers, who are no different from the crop men, will be tired. When the time comes, these guys will become meat on their own chopping block. How you want to chop it, it's not just your mood.
Lu Jing was also helpless, her daughter married Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying, the son of Cheng Bushi, so she made such a Taishou. Liaodong is a sparsely populated place. But not poor, stick and beat the roe deer scoop fish. Both sides of the Da Liao River are fertile land.
Every year, just relying on the leather business, I can already make a lot of money. The Huns and the Sushen people didn't come to make much trouble here. After hearing about the great river and crossing many mountains. There are many immigrants who have been immigrated by war, but I have never seen anyone come out of there, in short. He is too guarded to do it very freely.
Misfortune fell from heaven. I don't know where Yunhou's soldiers came from. The black armored cavalry was like a black cloud in the sky, and as soon as they made a move, they killed their 200 soldiers in Xiongyue City. In fact, the soldiers did not even resist. When they saw the black-armored cavalry, they immediately surrendered.
The news came from his in-laws, and the court was very dissatisfied with him. Let him better be able to take Xiong Yue City back. Look at the cloud-shaped banner waving in the wind. Lu Jing grinned helplessly. The face is almost smoked into a bun.
The murderous reputation of the Yun family's guards is known to the world. Look at the soldiers under your command. For many years, he had no serious training at all, and few Huns came to Xuanfu County. These people are more like their own men than like soldiers, and they are experts at escorting and selling leather goods. Let them fight. Don't be funny, let's wash and sleep.
"Lord Taishou, let those mud legs die. Let's go back and give an explanation to the imperial court, the ferocity of the Yun family's guards is known to the world. We fought and fought, and the court couldn't do anything to us. A white-faced rat whisker, who looked like a dog-headed military advisor, said.
"Silence! You dare to say such things. Just know it in your heart, you idiot. Is the carriage ready, we'll have to run first in a moment. Otherwise, those mud legs are dead, and the cavalry of the Yun family will rush to their own officials. The carriage can't outrun the horses. β
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. I have already arranged boats at the Liao River ferry, which is only a few dozen miles away from the Liao River. No matter how fast they are, they won't be able to catch up with us until they kill all these mud legs. β
"Hmmm! That's fine, how can these mud legs run so slowly. Hurry up, let's get out of here. Come on, send them a message to hurry up. The Yun family's cavalry is not a big deal, as long as these cavalry are killed and Xiongyue City is taken. Everybody rewarded, uh...... It's not two dollars. Lu Jing stood on the mountain bag and said dissatisfiedly as he looked at the soldiers who were desperately rushing forward in the distance.
Anyway, these guys are going to rush up to their deaths, and the blank checks will not be issued at this time.
A cavalryman ran with a red flag on his back, and this guy could sing a dolphin with a sharp voice. The footsteps of thousands of people were suppressed by him.
"Lord Taishou said, take Xiongyue City and reward each person with two dollars."
The soldiers were already a little tired, and at this time they all seemed to be pierced with chicken blood. Two pieces of money, you can't save so much money after a few years of digging in the soil.
But the black-armored cavalry was much faster than them, as the soldiers rumbled forward. A rain of arrows rained down on them like hail.
Where did these people have a formation to speak of, at this time, the sword and shield hands and the halberd soldiers were completely mixed. The sword and shield bearers can still raise their shields to block it, and those halberd soldiers are miserable. The halberd soldier who had been hit by the arrow lay on the ground and rolled and wailed, but the people behind did not know what was going on in front of him.
Still running forward, the poor wounded fellows were trampled to death by their own people's big feet. The crossbowmen in the back immediately began to fire back, but their arrows fell to the ground limply halfway through, and they couldn't even touch the Yun family's guards.
"Brother-in-law, pick it up. Let's go, or it might be dangerous to walk in a while. The brother-in-law's kobold military advisor saw that the two sides had been connected, and immediately made a statement to his taishou and brother-in-law. If it weren't for his brother-in-law staying here and wanting to take a look, he would have smeared oil on the soles of his feet a long time ago.
"Wait!" It was the first time Lu Jing saw such a war scene, although there were Huns who came to disturb the border in the past. But they are small units of hundreds of people, and most of the time they just grab a handful at the border and leave. When I encounter such a big scene today, I have to have an addiction.
The Yun family's guards were very patient, and they retreated backwards. While shooting at the crowd running over with an iron-tired crossbow, he began to aim at the mountain with a lookout. Later, he didn't even aim at all, and the Han army rushed up like a swarm. It's much more difficult to miss than to miss.
The running Han army finally came to its senses, and the sword and shield hands began to push forward. Then in the middle are the crossbowmen, and finally the halberders. But whenever they were about to get close to the range of the crossbowmen, the Yun family's guards would lightly walk away with their horses. The bow and crossbow in his hand are even more non-stop shooting, but fortunately, there is more wood in Liaodong. The large shields in their hands were thickened, although they were heavier to pick up. It hasn't been shot through yet.
But people are human beings after all, and they ran so far with a big shield weighing forty or fifty pounds. The sword and shield bearers were already tired and sweating. After rushing for more than a thousand steps, most of the sword and shield men stopped running. Those who still have the body to run are not running. Without the protection of the flanks, rushing up by yourself is simply sending you to death.
Dai Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at these soldiers who were almost tired, and only Lu Jing, a rookie player, could use soldiers like this. If they meet the Huns, they will definitely use bows and arrows to torture them to death.
"Change the heavy arrow throw." Dai Yu gave an order, and the guards of the Yun family replaced them with heavy arrows.
The so-called heavy arrow is a long cluster of arrows added behind the arrow. This kind of arrow will affect the accuracy of the shot, but if it is thrown at a 45-degree angle, it will fall with the help of gravity, which is much more powerful than ordinary arrows.
These tired Han soldiers gathered all the sword and shield hands around the perimeter, as if they were surrounded by a moving fence. But the inside is already crowded, and this is the best time to use the projectile.
Arrows thrown at a forty-five-degree angle would pass through the sword and shield and fall directly from the sky on the heads of the crossbowmen and halberders. In the case of Cheng DΓΉ, who is now crowded, it is basically impossible to escape.
The guards of the Yun family got the order and drew heavy arrows from their bow bags. Due to their infrequent use, they generally only had five of these heavy arrows in their bow bags.
The bronze blades of the Great King City were now largely transformed into bronze arrow clusters, which glowed a little green in the sunlight. A "buzz" sound was launched, and many green-headed dragonflies seemed to fly in the sky at once.
The halberders and crossbowmen standing in the middle of the line thought they were safe. Who knew that the Yun family's arrows would fall from the sky like rain. There were people all around him, even as he watched the arrows shoot at him. I wanted to dodge and was bumped back by the body of the robe.
The middle of the line boiled like a boiling pot, and the soldiers who had been hit by the arrows rolled on the ground wailing. Many people were hit by arrows, and they didn't move when they fell to the ground.
"Brother-in-law, it's not good. Our people ......"
"Quick, let's go. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while. Seeing this scene, Lu Jing was horrified. It was completely different from the battlefield in his mind, according to his vision of five thousand people. Even if the whole army is wiped out, more than 100 people will be killed.
Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, these soldiers of the Han army did not even approach the edge of the Yun family. According to the current way of fighting, the Yun family killed these 5,000 people, and the casualties are likely to be zero. Such an army is too terrifying, no wonder the fierce Huns are afraid of the Yun family's black-armored cavalry. I'd rather die than die in poverty, and the thirty-six plans are still the best plan.
Lu Jing took her brother-in-law and fled to the bank of the Liao River.
Dai Yu saw that the flag on the top of the opposite mountain was shaking, and knew that Lu Jing was going to run. Hurriedly Qi Tie ordered: "You take five hundred people, go around to the back, and be sure to bring Lu Jing's old puppet back." Remember to live, I heard that he is the richest man in Liaodong.
