Chapter 40: Iron Flow (9)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The sound of surging horse hooves was like thunder rumbling, and thousands of Youzhou Xianbei cavalry spread out like a tide. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Although the equipment of these Xianbei people is stronger than that of Tuoba Xianbei, it is still considered shabby, only a very few people wear armor, and the weapons they use are also varied, which are obviously captured in battles over the years and have not been sorted out. However, the Xianbei cavalry that shook the Central Plains never relied on these external things. The cold and difficult life in the north cultivated their strong physique; forged their character of perseverance and fearlessness; They are endowed with the ability to be good at horses and come and go like the wind. Compared to the inhabitants of the Han region of the Central Plains, these Xianbei people were outright savages; They had nothing, so they never hesitated to fight for the glory and wealth bestowed by the chief Qu Shuai.

For them, it doesn't matter at all what the purpose of the war is and who the enemy is. In the past ten years, these fierce Xianbei people have been rushing back and forth from the northern Xinjiang to the Central Plains, as long as they gallop, kill, plunder, and commit adultery, they will be rewarded after their wanton actions...... It's a simple and happy life.

But those atrocities in the past finally have a righteous reputation that is enough to explain to the Luoyang court. Today's battle is that the army belonging to the imperial court is attacking another imperial army for no reason, which is really a bit unreasonable. The Xianbei warriors didn't need to care, but their leaders still had some scruples. Therefore, this army did not use any banner, and was purely connected with each other by sounding the sound of dysprosium, horns, or sharp whistles one after another, reserving the last bit of face for the Great Jin court. Relying on the tacit understanding established by the Xianbei tribesmen since childhood, even if there is no flag to lead, the Xianbei soldiers from the thousand-person team to the hundred-person team and the ten-person team are still like an arm.

The cavalry advanced unhurriedly, the ranks stretching far to the flanks. In the center of the cavalry, the position of the array protruding slightly is the elite tiger squad under the command of Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou. This cavalry is about 1,000 people, composed of the dead soldiers of the Hu and Jin tribes who Wang Jun has recruited for more than ten years, and the men and horses are all dressed in heavy iron armor and covered with mixed robes. From a distance, the dark black iron armor shimmered in the early morning sun, and the knight and the war horse under the armor seemed to be one and the same. And when those heavy weapons such as large lances, long knives, and iron vertebrae swung like the wind, they roared forward like a fierce beast with sharp claws and bones, and that formidable momentum was enough to make any enemy fearful. A thousand armored knights gathered together to charge, and it was simply impossible for humans to stop them.

The Hu people in northern Xinjiang are all good at using cavalry, but due to the different conditions of each region, there are differences in the way of using cavalry for each tribe. The Xianbei tribes in the east have been trading with the Central Plains court for nearly a hundred years, and because the border is not tightly blocked, a large amount of fine gold and fine iron has been smuggled to the grassland, and a large number of Han people have been gradually obtained as craftsmen, so a considerable scale of ironclad cavalry has gradually been established. In battle, they first charged into battle with elite heavy cavalry equipped with armor and cavalry, and all of them were destroyed like thunder and thunder; After the enemy is in chaos, he will follow closely with light cavalry to expand the results of the battle and slaughter to his heart's content. This kind of tactics, on the one hand, overwhelmed the Jin army with the advantages of good horses and arrows, and on the other hand, overwhelmed the Hu'er of Northern Xinjiang with the sophistication of armor and ordnance, which is worthy of the proud skill of the majestic commander of Northern Xinjiang.

The leader of this heavy cavalry is Duan Wu Bechen's nephew, Duan Mobo, a brave general who is as famous as Duan Wenyang in Duan Xianbei. Duan Mobo is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and he is at the peak of his prestige and strength as a battlefield warrior. This person became famous long before Duan Wenyang and was regarded as the most powerful cavalry general in the eastern Xianbei. Of the entire Tiger Bantu cavalry, more than half came to take refuge because of his prestige. At this moment, the distance between the two armies was still far away, and this giant man with a loose head and a magnificent body did not throw himself into the queue of Hubantu cavalry, but set up a horse and followed behind the hussar general Wang Jun, carefully controlling the distance of half a horse.

"On the opposite side is the main force of the Daijun Army, and all the elites of the Northland who have been entangled in the past few months are here." Duan Mobo tried his best to smile, and an ochre-red scar on his face jumped like a swimming fish. He leaned sideways on his horse and saluted Wang Jun deeply: "Win this battle, and the entire Youzhou and the thousands of miles of grassland north of Youzhou will all be in the hands of the general." The last general was sincerely afraid, and first congratulated the general. ”

Duan Mobo's temperament is not as rough as ordinary Xianbei people, but somewhat similar to his uncle, Duan Wu Bechen, the Duke of Liaoxi, who is as fierce as a tiger and cunning as a fox. When facing Wang Jun, his words were extremely respectful, and he could even be said to be a little flattering. However, Wang Jun only smiled and did not answer.

Wang Jun naturally knew that Duan Xianbei was by no means as full of enthusiasm as Duan Mobo came out. The rise of the new Daijun Taishou completely blocked the channel for Duan Xianbei to expand his power to the west, so Duan Xianbei had to strangle it no matter what. What do you say "it's all in the hands of the general", it seems that this battle is purely for the hegemony of Youzhou, and it can't help but look down on your own vision.

Merely...... Even if the Daijun is swept away, there are still countless enemies waiting to be killed, when it comes to employing people, it is better to encircle these Xianbei people a little. Thinking like this, Wang Jun casually started another topic: "I think it's very strange that the Daijun Army is actually in front of the car array. I wonder what their intentions are? ”

"I have heard that during the Xianning period, the imperial court fought against Xiqiang, and Wuwei Taishou Ma Long led 3,000 warriors to cross Wenshui to the west. The army relied on the chariot battalion and fought forward, and used the crossbow as a cover. So he was able to fight thousands of miles and pacify Qin and Liang. On Wang Jun's other side, a young general who was walking with him responded: "According to the last general, what the Daijun army is using at this moment is just Xianning's old technique, and it is not difficult to break it!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Jun looked at him with interest: "Then I asked General Fujun to tell me in detail." ”

This young general is Wang Jun's deputy, the general of the Fu army, Duan Ji 6. Although he is young, he is the heir of Wu Buchen of the Liaoxi Gongduan, and his status is very noble among the Xianbei people.

Wang Jun's force has always relied on Xianbei. Although there are a lot of Jin eunuchs in the Youzhou shogunate, Qi Hong, the general who is famous in the Central Plains, must sit in Jicheng, and among the rest, Zao Song is a high-ranking nobleman, Wang Chang, Ruan Bao, and Hu Ju are not brave men, and there is no enough to command the army. Therefore, the army fought in the south and the north, and the generals who actually led the troops were either from the Yuwen Department or from the Duan Department.

For this situation, some people may worry about the risk of being too stubborn, but Wang Jun has never regarded it as a problem. He has been operating in Youzhou for many years, and he is full of confidence in his means of controlling the Xianbei people, and at the same time, he hopes that he has enough bearing to convince Hu Er. Even if in the past few days, Duan Ming deliberately stayed hard, so that when Yuwen Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei's impatient Lou Department were both defeated, Wang Jun still didn't care at all. The more fierce the struggle between the Xianbei tribes, the better, and the history of Youzhou Thorn can be divided and conquered.
