Two days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle in Juyong was as Tian Chou expected, and the reinforcements from Jixian County arrived at Juyong Pass in the early morning of the next day when Lu Lingqi and Tian Chou met. As soon as this support army arrived, the morale of the defenders at Juyong Pass increased greatly, and now the strength was enough to withstand the offensive of Karasuma's army. In addition, Nanpi's fast horses also came to inform Tian Yu that Nanpi's reinforcements would arrive in four days at the latest. In this way, the morale of Tian Yu and Juyong's defenders was even stronger. Besides, Tian Chou sent a messenger to send a message to Tian Yu, saying that he had brought his troops into the mountain trail, Tian Yu had no worries, and if the war was really tight, he could also ask Tian Chou for help, and people would be much more relieved.

As for Lu Lingqi...... To be honest, after Lu Lingqi followed Lu Ren for more than ten years, she had already been "poisoned" by Lu Ren to be insidious and black-bellied. After following Tian Chou into the mountain trail and carefully studying the terrain, he set up camp at the northern crossing. This village is quite lacking in virtue, and it is only less than sixty miles away from the nearest Karasuma tribe.

The war under Juyong Pass was still fighting, but Lu Lingqi was sitting on a branch and sipping tea. It wasn't until the scout came to report that Lu Lingqi smiled and shouted to Murong Ziying under the tree: "Ziying, attack." Remember, take it when you see it! Our goal is to reap the benefits, not to fight desperately, to face the enemy from the flank. ”

"No!"

With an order, Murong Ziying took hundreds of iron horsemen under his command and rode out, targeting the flank of the Karasuma camp. Sixty Han li is converted into a modern metric system is less than 30 kilometers, saying a lot less, saying more but not much, Ma Yi Sahuan is almost there. As soon as Murong Ziying's iron cavalry arrived outside the Karasuma camp, a large tent of arrows from a long distance would shoot first, and after a while, many Karasuma cavalry would come out of the village to meet the attack.

Seeing that about a thousand Karasuma cavalry were led out of the camp, Murong Ziying immediately turned his horse's head and slipped away. The Karasuma cavalry thought that Murong Ziying was cowardly, and immediately chased after them. But after chasing ten miles, Murong Ziying suddenly turned back to the horse's head again with an immediate horse, and these hundreds of iron cavalry began to slaughter the more than 1,000 Karasuma cavalry who had caught up.

Thinking that these more than 1,000 groups cooperate with the Karasuma cavalry with poor combat ability, where will they be the opponents of Murong Ziying, hundreds of well-trained iron cavalry who are good at team combat? In less than an hour, more than a thousand Karasuma cavalry died, and the rest naturally fled back to the camp. Murong Ziying is also not in love with war, after all, this place is too close to the Karasuma camp, once Karasuma's large army chases it out, no matter how elite the hundreds of iron cavalry in his own area are, they will not be able to please him.

Just like Lu Lingqi explained, Murong Ziying almost accepted it when she saw it. As soon as more than 1,000 Karasuma cavalry fell, hundreds of iron horsemen immediately took the sheep by the hand...... No, it was a hand-led horse, and he led more than 200 war horses back to the camp on this side of the mountain road. Now that we have calculated all of them, together with the horses captured when we killed the three thousand Karasuma rangers before, there are already seven or eight hundred horses seized here in Tian Chou. Tian Chou was not lazy, and pulled out some men to take these war horses and immediately turned back to Youbeiping. In the war with Karasuma, the best loot is, of course, these war horses.

After going back and forth like this for a few days, the Karasuma army couldn't tackle the key points, and the flanks here inexplicably lost more than 3,000 people and war horses, which made the leaders of the Karasuma alliance angry this time. It's funny to say, this kind of fast horse and light horse and run tactic was originally the Karasuma tribe's forte, but as the so-called healer is difficult to heal himself, when they suddenly encounter someone else using this tactic to ambush them, they don't know how to deal with it, and they suffer several losses in a row.

And isn't Juyong Pass unconquerable? Lu Lingqi, who has been taking advantage of the fire to rob here on the flank, has naturally become the object of hatred by Neng Chendi. In his opinion, if it weren't for the frequent harassment of Lu Lingqi's cavalry, Juyong Pass might have been captured long ago...... In fact, he can't beat Juyong Pass, Guan Lu Lingqi bird matter? Although it does have a little relationship with Lu Lingqi here.

(PS: In the official history, Notomi was the leader of the Daigun Karasuma Rebellion, and after the rebellion, he asked Karasuma to be the other single in Furohan.) However, Nechen thought that Fu Luo Han was useless, so he invited Xianbei Kebineng instead, and Kebi Neng assassinated Fu Luo Han during the alliance. In addition, at that time, there was a Xianbei Budugen whose strength was equivalent to Kebineng, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Rou used a strategy to make Budugen and Kebi Neng fight with each other, and Budugen was finally killed by Kebi Neng, and Kebi Neng himself committed several crimes in the Central Plains. In this book, it is arranged for Notomi to be the clan leader of Karasuma's battle. ）

On this day, Murong Ziying's hundreds of iron cavalry arrived as scheduled, and Nengchen's side was already prepared, and after a roar, nearly 10,000 Karasuma cavalry surrounded Murong Ziying. Murong Ziying saw that the momentum was not good, and immediately ordered the whole horse to turn around and leave. When Neng Chen saw this, where was he willing to let Lu Lingqi go? While pursuing, he also ordered his subordinates, saying that he must capture Murong Ziying alive, and after he was captured, he would torture and ravage Murong Ziying in every way, so as to vent his anger for many days.

It's just that Murong Ziying, where is the character who is so easy to catch? At the beginning, there were still a few Karasuma light horses who rushed to Murong Ziying and their horses to block the way, but they immediately realized that this was a wrong decision. The hundreds of iron horsemen under the command of Murong Ziying, the strong charging ability of his group is no joke. Rushing to the Karasuma light cavalry blocked in front, it was as if the earthen wall of the tofu scum project had met a super-powerful bulldozer in front of these hundreds of iron riders. In short, one word: crush! Absolutely crushed!

After some chase, Murong Ziying's two thousand iron horsemen had successfully withdrawn to the camp in front of the mountain crossing. After seeing the camp here, Neng Chenyi first reined in his horse, and after taking a closer look, he hesitated for a long time, and finally ordered a strong attack with hatred.

How else to say that Lu Lingqi is really insidious enough to fight? As early as the beginning of his determination to reap the benefits, Lu Lingqi carefully studied the terrain here with Tian Chou and Murong Ziying, and finally the camp at the crossing looked very bad, and the fortifications were all built with trees in the mountains, and it seemed that at most two or three thousand people could be stationed.

And in the past few days, Murong Ziying's cavalry used to make oil and water was so hundred, which made Neng Chendi mistakenly think that the number of cavalry on the other side was so small, and he could only fight sparrow battles. Plus this dilapidated camp...... Anyway, at this moment, in the eyes of Neng Chendi, the foot soldiers in this camp are two thousand, and the cavalry is at most more than three thousand. was already suppressing the fire in his belly, but now that he sees such a camp, what choice will Neng Chendi make? Of course, it's a fight!

At the sound of an order, nearly 10,000 Karasuma cavalry began to storm the Daokou camp. In their opinion, such a camp could be easily captured after only a few rounds of cavalry shooting.

Of course, they were completely wrong. The Yizhou soldiers have always been infantry soldiers, and Lu Ren had already planned to attack Liaoxi very early, so there was a special tactical analysis of nomadic cavalry in the Military Academy. Murong Ziying and some related personnel have studied in the military academy for several years, and they have long been familiar with the analysis of these tactics, and after returning to Liaoxi, they have carefully studied the tactics that the Wuhu light cavalry is good at and trained the troops, so they have long studied a set of related tactics according to the specialties of the Yizhou soldiers. Although the soldiers here are not Yizhou soldiers now, under the arrangement of Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying, the tactics are not much different...... To put it mildly, Tian Chou's infantry uses Yizhou's standard equipment, and the compatibility is still okay.

At this moment, seeing that the Karasuma cavalry was getting closer and closer, Lu Lingqi suddenly gave an order, and many foot soldiers pulled the ropes together, and then the Karasuma cavalry was horrified to find that rows and rows of horse-resisting stakes suddenly appeared in front of them somehow. What's even more infuriating is that these horse-repellent stakes pop up and fall down again, and the wave-like situation makes many Karasuma cavalry at a loss. Sometimes when you want to cut with a sword, but the stake suddenly sinks, and the Karasuma cavalry loses the sword with all your might, how uncomfortable would it be?

Closer, the Karasuma cavalry was horrified to find a large number of crossbowmen suddenly pouring out of the village, and one after another pulled out feathered arrows shot upward, overwhelmingly pressing down on their heads, but in an instant a large number of Karasuma cavalry fell. As for the return shot, it's better to skip it, the range of the Karasuma cavalry's bow and arrow is not enough.

Suddenly, rumbling drums were heard, and more than a thousand crossbowmen poured out on each wing of the camp. It's just that the front rows of these foot soldiers are almost impossible to see, because they are all hidden behind the tall grille, which is full of spikes. If the Karasuma cavalry rushed forward, there was no doubt that they would crash into a sieve full of holes. And as soon as the drum turned, the Yizhou soldiers behind these grates shot a large number of arrows, so that three sides were pouring arrows at the Karasuma cavalry.

In the era of cold weapons, powerful cavalry is undoubtedly the trump card in land warfare, but it does not mean that cavalry is invincible. Any class of troops in any era will have its corresponding natural enemies, and what are the cavalry of the Cold Weapon Era afraid of? The medium- and long-range intensive firepower of the group army is one of them.

In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong with a dense crossbow army; In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's crossbow troops in Shu made Cao Wei's cavalry so powerful that they did not even dare to confront the Shu soldiers head-on. In Japan's Sengoku Azuchi period, Oda Nobunaga personally led 3,000 arquebuses and iron cannons with horse barricades, and defeated more than 10,000 cavalry of the Takeda family in one fell swoop......

It's a bit of a stretch, stop. It is only said that Lu Ren was as early as the beginning of the founding of Yizhou, considering the hard injuries in his own population base, he really couldn't fight the common crowd tactics in the era of cold weapons, so he always put the development of powerful medium and long-range tactics in the first place. For example, naval warfare and coastal city defense were first equipped with trebuchets, and then after years of trial production, even artillery was made; In terms of land warfare, the repeating crossbow with steel wire string and pulley, Yizhou soldiers are basically one per person, but due to the difference in the types of troops, the crossbows carried by different arms in Yizhou will also have differences in size and system.

Like sword soldiers, spearmen, and shield soldiers, the crossbows they carry are short and concise, close to small hand crossbows, and the arrows are only five inches, and each arrow box can only hold eight arrows at most, and the range is only eighty steps; The regular crossbowmen carried a standard type of repeater, with a length of one foot and five inches, a box of fifteen arrows, and a range of one hundred and fifty paces. There are also a few other crossbows, which I won't mention here.

Anyway, in terms of the strength of crossbow soldiers, Yizhou soldiers could be the crown of the world at that time. Once the whole army fires arrows, the striking surface of the far, medium and near areas is fully covered, and the attack capability of its dense firepower can scare people to death. As for the musket, let's not talk about it, it is still in the stage of actual combat testing, and it cannot be made public too early. Zhao Yu didn't come over this time, he just stayed in Chrysanthemum Harbor and wrote a report on the use of the musketeers and the hand-cranked Gaglin before.

There is also a key point here, that is, the crossbowmen basically fight out money and technology, as well as productivity. Like in the late Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang defeated Cao Wei's army of more than 100,000 in the battle when he shot Zhang He, and the captured horn crossbows were only more than 3,100 pieces, which shows that the production capacity of crossbows and bows at that time was still very limited, and the intensive firepower tactics of bows and crossbows were naturally difficult to form a real scale.

But now this is not the case with Yizhou in Lu Ren's hands. Over the past ten years, Yizhou has long formed a semi-industrial assembly line production system. A crossbow factory with a few hundred people could produce hundreds of standard repeaters and thousands of arrows in a day if it was fully operational, which was not possible with other princes at the time. It is precisely because of this that the Yizhou soldiers under Lu Ren have the conditions to achieve continuous dense firepower coverage in the true sense. As one of Lu Ren's most important partners in the northern region, Lu Ren has never been stingy with Tian Chou's rationing.

The gossip is here, only to say that Neng Chendi led nearly 10,000 Karasuma cavalry into Tian Chou's camp, but it turned out to be met by more than 3,000 crossbows here in Tian Chou. At one hundred and fifty paces, it would take about fifteen seconds for the Karasuma cavalry to complete this distance without hindrance, but with these fifteen seconds, these crossbowmen under Tian Chou could shoot at least seven arrows! Based on five arrows per person, in fifteen seconds of one hundred and fifty paces, three thousand crossbowmen can shoot nearly 20,000 feather arrows.

20,000! It's not much different from meowing and raining, it's really overwhelming! What's more, when 3,000 repeaters are used together, the number of arrows that can actually be fired is definitely more than that. The nearly 10,000 cavalry led by Neng Chendi encountered this dense rain of arrows, and there was only one word in the end: miserable! They are all just lightly armed cavalry, and many of them don't even have armor on their bodies, how can they stand this kind of rain of arrows?

Let's say that after the two boxes of arrows here in Tian Chou, the nearly 10,000 cavalry of Neng Chendi were almost half down, and the remaining Karasuma cavalry saw that the strict military formation here in Tian Chou was slowly walking out of the camp, and the sound of the uniform pace behind the big shield and the fence plate hit the heart of every Karasuma cavalry like a soul drum. Then behind the shield and the rain of arrows behind the fence, the Karasuma cavalry no longer had the will to fight, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and everyone immediately turned their horses and ran for their lives. The overwhelming rain of arrows just now is still in front of me, and the Karasuma cavalry is all in the same tune in their hearts, it's so damn terrible!

After more than 100 steps out of the village, the foot soldier was instructed by Lu Lingqi to stop drinking, and Lu Lingqi just shook his head in the face of Tian Chou's puzzlement: "Poor Kou Mo chase." Moreover, the pursuit of light cavalry with foot soldiers is also a waste of effort. The herald ordered all units in the front row to be on guard, and the middle and rear units to clean up the battlefield. After recovering the arrows and horses, the rear army was transferred to the front army, and the front army was changed to the rear army, and they slowly retreated in turn. ”

Tian Chou became more and more puzzled: "Lingqi, today the enemy successfully lured the enemy to win another big battle, and our army's morale is sharp, but why do you want to retreat?" ”

Lu Lingqi said with a smile: "First, our purpose is only to gain benefits, not to work hard, it is enough to be able to fight like this and divide the offensive before the level; Second...... Brother Zitai, how long has it been since we, more than 5,000 men and horses, came here from Youbeiping? ”

Tian Chou calculated, understood a little in his heart, and responded: "It's been almost half a month since I set off. ”

Lu Lingqi said: "I was forced by Uncle Lu to go to the academy for further study, but although I was forced to be helpless, the book was not read in vain. Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not been moved, and grain and grass have not been used. This time, we led our troops to help, and more than 5,000 soldiers only carried 20 days' rations, which can be described as a light army. And we came here to help, but so far we haven't seen any food and grass from the Cao Jing soldiers. Of course, Brother Zitai, you can go to them and ask for it, but again, although the Cao Jing soldiers use us as support, they are also wary of us. We are already in danger by using our troops in this way, and we are now short of food and grass, and if we do not think about retreating early, we will be taken advantage of by others. You can't just stay here and let your people deliver food and grass to us from the cottage, right? To put it mildly, once your grain and grass enter the thistle realm, it will be robbed by people. ”

In fact, when it comes to war, Tian Chou is much more experienced than Lu Lingqi, a royal sister who is still a little bit on paper, but the battles that have come over this way have been fought so smoothly that Tian Chou is a little greedy. As for Lu Lingqi...... The truth just said is not a lie, but in fact, Lu Lingqi firmly remembered the instructions Lu Ren gave her, it is enough to get some benefits for something, you must accept it in time, don't be greedy.

And Lu Ren also secretly reminded Lu Lingqi that Tian Chou was the person promoted by Lao Cao after all, if something really happened, Lao Cao would take care of Tian Chou a little, so Tian Chou would not have so many worries. But you and Murong Ziying are my Lu Ren's people, and Lao Cao's attitude towards the two of you is difficult to say, so I have to withdraw when the time is almost right. If the two of you are greedy for merit and fall into it, I, Lu Ren, can't save you if I want to.

Because of this, Lu Lingqi didn't dare to fall too deep all the way. I still remember that night, when Lu Ren finished explaining these repeatedly, Lu Lingqi snorted coldly and said, "Cao Cao is still so hateful!" ”

At that time, Lu Ren smiled and said: "Lingqi, you are straightforward, and you have a grudge against Lao Cao for killing your father, it is normal for you to scold Lao Cao like this." However, Lingqi, your Uncle Lu still has to remind you that if Lao Cao doesn't do this, he will not be a qualified hero, and he will definitely not have today's achievements. And the deceit between the candidates is the root of survival in troubled times, and it is actually no wonder. If you are going to the north to do things now, then you must pay attention to the things you should pay attention to, and you can't just rely on blood and courage to do things, otherwise you will be defeated. In short, you keep these words of mine firmly in your heart, and think more about things when you encounter them, don't let your Uncle Lu worry about you. ”

At that time, Lu Lingqi snorted, but the person paused slightly. However, Lu Ren's confession was almost wordy, and Lu Lingqi really kept it firmly in mind. Now that the people in the northern realm have been mixed in, they are also acting according to Lu Ren's orders...... (To be continued.) )
