Chapter 461 Old Qin, go to the national disaster together
The fifteenth year of Datang Tianbao, or December of the first year of Zhide.
Feng Xiang.
"Array!"
Yang Feng roared with a horizontal sword.
Under the colorful banners in front of him, a group of soldiers of the Western Army in full armor quickly completed their respective formations, whether it was the Hezhong Army or the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army, all of them were heavily armored, and even the ordinary spearmen and divine arm archers were heavily armored.
Even if the generals don't equip the soldiers, those soldiers pay for a set of their own, after all, for them, they must not be stingy with life-saving things.
It's not expensive anyway.
The things produced on the assembly line are expensive.
Yang Feng's steel plant currently has an annual output of tens of thousands of tons, in fact, not only the Tang Army, but even the Hezhong and Tocharian countries are using armor made of broken leaves, but they are just chain plate armor, and just like the European armies in the late Renaissance era, even the spearmen are plate armor, at this time, a total of 70,000 soldiers in the three towns of the Western Regions are cold-forged Mingguang armor. At most, it is the difference between the simplified version and the full version, but even if it is a simplified version, it is comparable to the heavy armor corps of the Tang Army in the mainland, at this time, 20,000 iron cans are lined up on the empty plain, and the polished iron armor reflects the dazzling light in the sun, which is really murderous.
Especially the 4,000 mounted cavalry in the middle.
Even the face was covered with a mask that covered the entire mouth and nose, leaving only a half-moon observation mouth at the eyes, even the hands were wearing leather gloves with pieces of iron, and even the leather boots on the feet were also covered with pieces of iron 4,000 cavalrymen, holding a horse with a small flag in their hands, riding on the Arabian horse and Dawan horse that also wore iron armor and covered with iron armor like a monster, and formed four small phalanxes with battalions as units, and the four small phalanxes formed a large phalanx. Heavy on a yellow-colored field.
To their left and right was an equally huge phalanx of infantry, and rows of Mo swordsmen, spearmen, and divine arms archers with the same heavy armor stood neatly and solemnly.
The outermost side is still cavalry.
In fact, they are still mounted cavalry, but they are not as exaggerated as the middle ones, because their Mingguang armor is relatively simplified, closer to the Mingguang armor of the inland armies, and the horses they ride are not as tall as those in the middle, these are the mounted cavalry of Anxi and Beiting.
They didn't have as many Arabian horses and Dawan horses to bear the weight of the full armor of the more river cavalry.
This is all the soldiers of the camp in the three towns of the Western Regions.
Four thousand, to be precise, it should be eight thousand mounted cavalry, plus ten thousand infantry, including four thousand terrifying heavy armor Mo swordsmen, their armor is no different from the mounted cavalry, except for the convenience of hand-to-hand combat, the face armor is smaller, and the observation range of the eyes is larger, and the rest is exactly the same as the mounted cavalry. In order to be able to wear this set of armor weighing thirty catties and wield the Mo knife, these four thousand are all big men, almost invisible to those who are less than one meter seven or five in height, and there is even no shortage of little giant-level strong men above one meter nine, with the fifteen-pound real steel Mo knife weighing one handle, this is the meat grinder on the battlefield......
At this time, a pound was more than 600 grams.
Yang Feng galloped in front of the entire formation with a majestic face, and then returned, stopped and turned the horse's head in the middle of the formation, and thrust the Mo knife in his hand into the ground, and said to the man of the same age who was wearing golden armor on the opposite side: "Anxi, Beiting, the three towns in the river are camping and the envoy of the festival, and Yang Feng is the commander of the river meridian, and the whole army of his subordinate department is waiting for him, please show the marshal!" ”
Uh, he's across from Lee.
"Duke Deng doesn't need to be polite!"
The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Guangping Wang Li said with a hint of excitement.
"Deng Gong Wanli Qin King, Xizhou athletes and ten thousand horses save the Central Plains, the air runs through Changhong, loyalty and righteousness can show the sun and the moon, wait to clear the demonic atmosphere, sweep away the ugly day, wealth and nobility should be shared with the public, come, bring Your Majesty to reward, drink with all the soldiers today, and drink the blood of the rebel with the monarchs tomorrow."
Then he said.
At the same time, a carriage full of coins and silk drove up behind him, and in addition to this, there was also a group of people carrying wine and meat, but it was clear that the soldiers were not very interested in this, especially the mounted cavalry in the middle of the river, and they inevitably showed speechless expressions on those copper coins, and some of them were a little disdainful. In other words, these bastards will treat copper coins as good things, they pretend to be forced in the river and generally use gold coins, when gambling money, a dinar or a soli is called a man, and a dirham is not grand enough, whoever grabs a handful of copper coins will be kicked out, and the river army has robbed too much in the big food, and even daily transactions are changing to gold and silver or silver tickets.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Xie!"
Yang Feng saw that he was going to be cold, and hurriedly shouted.
The soldiers shouted.
Li nodded very satisfied, and then an attendant stepped forward with a wine jar and a wine bowl, he took the wine jar and poured a full glass of wine, held it in front of Yang Feng with both hands and said, "Duke Deng, please drink this cup!" ”
Yang Feng took it and drank it all heroically.
Then he threw the wine bowl on the ground, opened his loud voice and shouted: "Correct Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together, the blood will not be shed, and the death will not be truce!" Rectify Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together, the blood will not be dried, and the death will not be truce! ”
Li was stunned for a moment.
"Rectify Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together, blood will not be shed, and death will not be truce!"
The soldiers in the formation shouted one after another.
At the same time, the sound of various weapons constantly clubbing the ground sounded intensively, and even the ground trembled clearly.
Li also quickly understood the meaning, and subconsciously raised his arms and roared.
Yang Feng continued to roar with satisfaction, to say that Li with rhythm is like a child with him, and there is nothing wrong with these words, although it is the Tang Dynasty at this time, but Guanzhong claims that this is a common practice for the Qin people, at this time, the national disaster is at the head, and it is on the battlefield in Guanzhong, correcting the old Qin, and there is nothing wrong with going to the national disaster together. Of course, he shouted this slogan not only with rhythm, he was reminding Li and Li Heng that they are the real disciples of the Tang Dynasty, and they are the real people who share weal and woe with the Tang Dynasty.
It was clear that his purpose had been achieved.
When Li shouted these four slogans, it meant that the Tang Dynasty Sect in the original history also understood this.
The oath is thus in the correction of the old Qin, together to the national disaster, the blood does not dry, the death does not stop the roar of the truce, and then reward the three armies, and then as the vanguard of Lifei Yuanli and Lifei Shouyu led two thousand cavalry first, the other armies have been drawn one after another, they will first take martial arts, and then cross the Wei River to the south from the south bank to attack Chang'an, in fact, it is to copy the battle route of Xiangji Temple, and I am afraid that it will also copy the battle of Xiangji Temple.
Behind Yang Feng is the main force of the Shuofang Army led by Guo Ziyi, and behind Guo Ziyi is the Longyou River Westward Camp Army led by Wang Sili.
The total strength of the three armies is about 140,000.
However, the real elite is 70,000, and the others are newly recruited cannon fodder, including both Li Heng's subordinates and Yang Feng's 20,000 expanded in various ways along the way, these cannon fodder actually serve as transport teams for him, but the other armies are really cannon fodder, at this time the war is actually like this, pull Zhuang Ding as cannon fodder, use the life of cannon fodder to consume the enemy, even if it is just to consume the enemy's physical strength, and the time is almost up, the real elite does heavy blows, so no one in these generals takes the lives of the cannon fodder seriously, Similarly, the court will not care how many they catch, Li Heng wishes they would catch more.
And their enemies are no less than 150,000, including a large number of cannon fodder, but the real elite is not less than 50,000.
Different from the original history, the Anshi rebels at this time were only limited to the east of Taihang Mountain, and then turned into the line of Guanzhong in Henan, and ended in Nanyang in the south. But because Li Guangbi was in fact in charge of Hedong before the Anshi Rebellion, a series of wars in Shanxi did not happen, on the contrary, he and Cheng Qianli of Shangdang were actually on the offensive, but these battlefields were not the focus, An Lushan's elite was still in Guanzhong, Cui Qianyou, Li Guiren, and Tian Qianzhen were all in Chang'an, but An Lushan was still in Luoyang as his Dayan Emperor.
Originally, in history, he was basically a waste at this time, because excessive obesity led to the occurrence of various skin diseases, full of poisonous sores, plus his eyes were almost blind, and he killed people violently as soon as the pain attacked, and finally was killed by the unbearable Yan Zhuang, An Qingxu, Li Zhuer and others a few months later.
Speaking of which, the Anshi Rebellion was initiated by him, but in fact, he soon had nothing to do.
It is not so much the Anshi Rebellion as the warlord melee, the later Anshi group has long been disbanded, and even they are still fighting internally, the reason why it dragged on for eight years is largely because the Tang Dynasty is paying for their previous policies, those small warlords in order to ensure their own interests, work together to fight, see later seal them as a feudal town, confirm their territory, and immediately surrender one by one, in this sense, the Tang Dynasty has never really pacified the Anshi Rebellion, and even intensified, Because there are more and more knots in this process.
There are more than a dozen of them now.
Henan is actually the later Xuanwu, Shannan Dongdao, Huaixi, Huainan, Jiangnan West Road, Beihai, which is equivalent to the later Pinglu, Shangdang is the later Zhaoyi, Xingping These festival envoys have been established, it can be said that in this year, the original history of the Tang Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty Those proud soldiers and fierce generals have begun to appear, and their era stretches for two hundred years.
Of course, this is the original history.
