ps: Came back a little late, there is only one big chapter today

Until yesterday, Tu He had just received a conscription order from the acting king, saying that the Jin people were attacking the north and wanted Tu He to send troops to join the acting king's team in accordance with the ancient covenant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Tu He's monarch and the leaders of the various clans were arguing about whether to send troops, they were confused by the appearance of this Zhao cavalry......

One thousand five hundred horsemen, this is the total number that can be made up after the combination of the major tribes of the Dai country, even Tu He himself only has two or three hundred horses, all of them were disturbed by the attack of the small Donghu tribe, but they couldn't help the other party.

Fortunately, the Jin people outside did not seem to be too hostile to Tu He, and they asked the city to send people out to talk, and the monarch finally picked a new childish dog, not only because he was very bold, but also because he had the most dealings with Chinese people.

Riding out of Tuheyi, looking at the more than 1,000 centaurs who almost surrounded the north of the city, the new young dog couldn't believe his eyes. How could the Zhao army, which should have been hundreds of miles away in the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, suddenly appear in the north of the city? You know, to the north of Tu, it is a vast prairie......

Could it be that they came by a detour? Even if he is called Tu He's strongest bear, the new young dog can't do this when he asks himself, how much courage and determination should the commander of the other party have.

When he saw the commanders of these Jin people, he felt even more surprised and stunned.

"It's you!"

Yu Xi was wearing armor all over his body, carrying a long bow, and a ring head knife pinned to his waist, and he was heroic. He smiled and rode on his horse and watched the new young dog slowly walk towards him, he had visited Tu He twice last year, this was the third time, but this time, Yu Xi was transformed, no longer the escort of the merchants, but the commander of the thousand horsemen like an arm!

As soon as he waved his hand, the rider behind him came forward with some unkempt braided bearded people, in addition to more than a hundred cattle and sheep, as well as crying women and children.

"Xinzhizi, you invited me to fight Donghu together, and now I'm here."

He pointed to the people behind him, the cattle and the sheep.

"We were ordered by the lord of the Zhao clan to detour through the grassland to conquer the Dai Rong who defied the great powers, and on the way we met a Donghu tribe who dared to resist Tianwei. Most of the rest of the people were frightened and migrated eastward and ran away a hundred miles away, which was part of the spoils of war and was specially given to Tu He. ”

The new young dog swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which had annoyed Tu He for a whole year, and the Donghu tribe was easily dismissed by these more than 1,000 elite horsemen? It can be seen that they have indeed experienced a long-distance run, one person and two horses, and the horses are a little thin, but their spirit is not reduced. Under the dirty face, there are sharp eyes, looking at Tu Heyi with low walls.

He could hear the threat in Yu Xi's words, and he also roughly understood the purpose of Yu Xi's disguised two visits. If Tu He showed a little gesture of resistance, the result would probably end up with the Donghu tribe that was running eastward.

Sure enough, Yu Xi rode to the new child's side and said, "I drove away Donghu for Tu He, and I also offered so many gifts, because my lord is willing to be friends with Tu He and help you and others get rid of Dai Rong's slavery." Now it's Tu He's turn to behave, is he going to continue to work hard for his generation? Or turn to help the Zhao family destroy the dynasty, whether to choose these animals or choose the blade in my hand, please choose! ”

……

The place where the Daiwang City is located, later generations called Wei County, this place is located at the intersection of Heng Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, a basin within the remaining veins of the mountains, the terrain here is flat, the water source is sufficient, the land is fertile, it is a rare anointing place, enough to raise tens of thousands of people, Dai Rong settled here, established the capital.

Huliu River, a tributary of the Sanggan River, originates from the Heng Mountain, draws a road from west to east at Daicheng, and then turns north to merge into the arc of Sanggan, where the river channel is open, and extends a large area of farmland, tidal flats, and grasslands to the north.

In late autumn, when the cold sun is still hovering on the horizon, the withered artemisia grass about a man tall is not in sight, and the morning dew is stained with blades of grass, and thousands of generations are already sitting here, they are ambushing and waiting.

Some of them were defeated soldiers who had fled from the upper reaches of the Sangan River, and some were hunters and herdsmen hastily recruited from other tribes, and they were not well armoured, and their weapons were all kinds of bronze, stone, and even wood, and even the ranks were not in order. Facing those unstoppable Zhao Jun so soon, many people were not mentally ready, and there was a lot of noise and talking.

Because according to the original plan, the Dai Wang would abandon the Dai City, let the various tribes escape into the deep mountains and grasslands, break into pieces, and take advantage of the flexibility of the tribesmen to drag it until the snow fell, and the Jin people could not gain a foothold in the Dai Land, so they were naturally defeated without a fight.

However, the resistance of the Sang cadres was unexpectedly fragile, and after capturing the city of Sanggan, the Zhao army suddenly accelerated its speed, breaking through several tribes in the middle and quickly approaching Daicheng.

However, the leaders of the Dai City, who had lived a comfortable and settled life for decades, were slow to move, reluctant to leave behind their belongings and herds of concubines, slaves, cattle and sheep, and they despised the determination of the Jin people, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to escape into the mountains when they were suddenly approached.

Therefore, the king had to bite the bullet and plan to ambush the Jin people outside the city to buy time for the evacuation of the people inside the city. He did not choose to defend the city and fight, because the half-farming and half-pastoral generations did not know how to defend the city at all, and they were the only ones who went south to Hengshan to loot the wealth of the city......

The king is very young, and he is also very tall and mighty, he put on a striking mink coat on the outside of his armor today, standing on a chariot in the headquarters, his hand restlessly rubbed on the short sword on his waist, and occasionally glanced at the north of the wind and grass, if the Jin people want to attack the city, only from there, once the enemy appears, their own side will suddenly burst into attack, and they will be caught off guard!

In fact, his pressure was inexplicably great, because this war was largely because he coveted Ji Ying's beauty, and his marriage proposal was not successful, and he was angry and cooperated with the revenge caused by the Zhi's invasion of the Zhao family.

Anxiously inspecting the army again, he thought: "The Sang cadres are crippled, and the whole clan has fled without a trace, and now the soldiers have arrived, plus the three thousand people in the headquarters, a total of seven thousand soldiers, seven hundred horsemen, three hundred chariots, ......."

After the occupation of the land, all the tribes were transformed into semi-nomadic people who cultivated and pastored, so that except for cavalry and chariots, which numbered less than 1,000 people, the others were vain.

"The total number of Zhao troops is only like this, if there are more people stationed along the way, I am afraid that there will be fewer here, if the Gaoliu and Tu He departments in the lower reaches of the Sanggan River also come to help, relying on the army of more than 10,000 people, relying on the generations of people who are not afraid of death, I can also fight with the Zhao army!"

He was sure that as long as this expeditionary force was defeated, Zhao Wuxian would have to wait several years if he wanted to send people to attack again......

"It's coming!"

At this moment, there was a warning from the scouts, only to see that the vanguard of the Zhao army had already lined up in battle, and slowly advanced to the south from the open landscape washed out by the Huliu River......

After looking at it for a long time, he anxiously let the emperor whirl, ran wildly in the army, whipped a few people who were in turmoil, and scolded viciously: "Quiet! You, hold the spear firm! You, wind your bow! Which tribe will dare not work hard and levy an additional 500 sheep next year! ”

……

"Finally caught the main force of the generation!"

Mucha also stood on the chariot, because of the terrain, the ambush of the generation had already been detected by the experienced Zhao Tanma, and Mucha planned to carry out a counter-ambush. He couldn't stand in the front row with the heavily armored soldiers, he felt very uncomfortable, and could only try to recall the actions of the lord in the past battles and command the whole army.

As the king had expected, after leaving troops to guard the grain routes along the city and sending a group of wounded soldiers away, Musha's army was reduced to only 6,000 men, which was slightly inferior in numbers.

But the number of people has never been the final deciding factor in the outcome of a campaign.

"The lord said that the third person who is in the urgency of the battle and the blade: one is to get the terrain ......"

As far as he could see, there was a relatively flat river landscape in front of him, and the plains were wide, and the land of this cavalry was also. The farmland and pastures by the river, the positions of the enemy and us are very close to each other, the terrain is flat, there is no deep grass to obstruct it, and it is easy to advance and retreat, and this place of spears and halberds is also. On the left front side of them, there is sometimes a little hilly and earthy hills, and the vegetation is flourishing, and the position of the generation is condescending, and this place of bows and crossbows is also ......

Mucha had already chosen the positions of many of his troops before entering the battlefield, and at this moment he quickly ordered the armor men with spears and halberds to stand with spears in front of them, while the crossbowmen seized the commanding heights.

"The second is to serve the ......"

With the support of strict military law, the children and doctors of the noble Zhao clan could only bow down to him, and the soldiers under him from a hard background regarded this commander as the target of the battle.

"The fierce general will be sent to the pawn! As long as I make a few more meritorious contributions and get a few promotions, maybe one day, I can also achieve the position of doctor and teacher! This desire to make a contribution was the greatest motivation for them to endure the hardships of the expedition and face the fear of death.

In the past half a year, the Zhao army has been selected from the military soldiers and Taiyuan soldiers to train, so that they are familiar with the tactics of war, and their movements are uniform, compared to the generation who does not stand on the opposite side, the golden drum is beating in front, and the soldiers behind are very slack, I don't know how many times stronger.

Not long after Mu Xia gave the order here, the people in ambush seemed to know that Zhao Jun had discovered himself, but because Zhao Jun had just arrived, the formation had not yet fully unfolded, and seeing that there was a flaw, the black dog banner of their Chinese army waved, and the generations with tribes as a unit began to jump out of the artemisia grass and rush up!

The two armies were only a few hundred paces apart, and the cavalry of the generation galloped on horseback, and the chariots also rushed straight ahead, and in the blink of an eye they rushed through more than half of the distance. They shouted wildly on the horses, and even the apprentices behind the horses waved bronze swords, stone hammers, wooden spears and other weapons with terrifying sound.

In fact, there were not many wars between the Dai people and the Jin State, more of them plundered the Yan State to the east, according to their experience in fighting with the weak brigades of the Yan State, most of the Yan army would flee in a panic at this time, and the fierce Dai people happened to rush in.

However, after all, the Zhao army was different from the Yan army, their front line never wavered at all, and Shi Qi, who was supervising the battle, sneered.

"Rong Di is Rong Di, this method of warfare, if it was put more than a hundred years ago, it would still be effective against Xing, Wei and other states that could not fight, but this set of tactics had already been used in Taiyuan to defeat Mu Zi and Wei Xianzi with a phalanx. Fighting all the way from the Sanggan River, Zhao Jun was also invincible, but the generation did not have a long lesson, relying on two or three thousand more people, and more advantageous cars, is it so big? ”

As the order sounded, the front-row armorers who had completed the deep formation shouted, and hundreds of spears held high were laid down, and the shining iron tips were layered on top of each other, and the entire battle line suddenly became like a hedgehog.

The cavalry that rushed across was from the Raccoon tribe, which was located in the north, near the grassland, and its people were battle-hardened warriors, who were keenly aware of the power of the enemy's spears. The leader shouted, turned to the right with his cavalry, and advanced in a direction parallel to the Zhao army's front.

Slightly slowing down the speed of their horses, the knights of the Tando clan reached out and picked up the recurved bows hanging on their horses, and drew arrows from the quiver at their waists with their backhands, and the three hundred bareback and stirrup cavalrymen of the Tando clan drew their bows and arrows almost at the same time, aiming at the direction of the rising sun.

This is exactly the riding and archery technique that generations rely on to conquer the land and let the endless, Tu He bow down! At this distance, the hunters of the Raccoon Clan, who have been shooting and hunting at the junction of grasslands and hills, can almost hit every shot. The spears of the Zhao army are just targets, and the enemy's bows and arrows should not be able to hit the riders who come and go like the wind, and they will turn back and evacuate after shooting an arrow, right? That's what the king thought.

However, just as they were rapidly approaching the Zhao army's array in a parallel formation and stepping into the range of 100 paces, they heard countless loud noises......

Greeting these Raccoon cavalry was the strong crossbow of the Zhao army!

Unlike the individual crossbow that was a little simple and rough when it was first used in the army ten years ago and could only shoot dozens of paces, the crossbow used by the Zhao army's military soldiers has now been replaced by a more powerful two-stone crossbow! The crossbow arm is stacked with a wooden strip and a copper ornament, and these devices are designed to increase the strength of the crossbow arm, making it more tense and long-range!

Seeing that the enemy recklessly entered the firing range, Zhao Juncai's arm pulled his waist and dragged it, wound it with the strength of his whole body, and then ejected it, at this moment, the sound of the bowstring violently vibrating was clearly audible even from a hundred steps away, followed by the screaming sound of breaking the wind in the sky. The crossbows, which are one foot two inches long and have blades made of Taoqiu iron, are as dense as raindrops, and when an arrow comes, they can easily penetrate the thin leather armor of the cavalry of the generation, and come out through their backs, splashing countless blood flowers among them, and the dozens of horsemen who rushed to the front were wiped out and suffered heavy casualties.

However, the bone clusters, bronze clusters, and stone clusters of feather arrows shot by the Raccoon cavalry fell scattered into the Zhao army's armor array, and were slanted and inserted into the skin-inlaid iron shield, unable to enter an inch; Shot on their thick three-layer armor, not even a layer of skin was broken; If he was lucky, he crashed straight into the bronze helmet in the front row, at most making a dull jingle in the ears of the armorer.

After the seizure of a large amount of copper and tin in the civil war, as well as the simultaneous excavation of several iron mountains in the Jin State for smelting, the equipment of the Zhao army is also new.

Just as the generation was shocked and hesitated, Mucha's smile was even bigger, and the initial caution turned into the current confidence.

"Three said: the instrument is profitable!"

The weapons and equipment of the generation are still in the early Bronze Age, but the Zhao Army, which has entered the Iron Age, has been built with a lot of money. As the saying goes, weapons are not sharp, and they are the same as empty hands; The armor is not dense, and it is the same as the nakedness; The bow is not to be shot from a distance, and it is the same as a short soldier; Shooting can't be shot, the same as no arrow; Medium and inaccessible, the same as Wuyan......

If they face each other head-on, five generations will not be able to resist a single soldier! The few remaining numerical advantages were gone in an instant.

"So the art of war says: if the equipment is not sharp, it is like sending your own soldiers to the enemy to slaughter, Daizi, Daizi, you are going to bury Daiguo here......"

Seeing that the generation fell into a short dumb fire after the first wave of the offensive, and the various units of the Zhao army began to take place, Mucha waved the flag, and the war drums behind him sounded in unison, now, it was the turn of the Zhao army to attack! (To be continued.) )
