Chapter 453

In Jieting Nanshan, a war was about to break out, and half a day later, a cavalry slowly approached the battlefield, which was Geng Yan's troops.

Geng Yan's detour was originally intended to disrupt the situation in Tianshui and Wei Xiang's subordinates, but he finally opened the door bolt from inside Longyou. Because of the reckless Wu Han, the opportunity to open the door from outside was completely lost.

He didn't even notify the "friendly army" Wu Han in advance, so when the captured prisoner said that a Wei army appeared near Jieting, Geng Yan subconsciously thought of the man.

"Could it be General Wei Wanjunyou?"

"Brother Wan is so fast!" Geng Yan was quite surprised. After breaking into Longyou, he realized that this adventure was not as easy as he imagined. They had no time, place, and people, so they could only hide and seek with Longyou Cavalry. No wonder the Longjia, who came to pursue him, retreated in a hurry. It turned out that a knife threatened his heart! Wei Xiang had to retract his hand to protect him.

After the scout got closer and returned the scene of the fierce battle between the two sides to Geng Yan, his evaluation of Wan Xiu's "Zhongsi" became higher and higher.

"I think General Wan is despised." Geng Yan rarely let go of his arrogance. He usually called Wan Xiu, but now he called Brother Wan. General Wan: "He has the style of being a horse-subduing king Zhao She."

In ancient times, when Qin invaded Zhao, the army was stationed in Yanyu. King Zhao summoned Lian Po and Lecheng two long-time generals. Both of them thought it was hopeless. Until when asked about Zhao She, Zhao She led his troops to fight with the famous saying "The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road". Isn't this very much like Wan Xiu's courage to volunteer to walk on the narrow road of the Wei River and attack Longyou alone?

"I thought it was difficult to walk on a narrow path, and even if I could do something, I couldn't do anything. I never thought that it would be difficult to kill all the way to such a north-facing place." Geng Yan's evaluation of Wan Xiu was getting higher and higher in his heart.

"Now, I have done a good job in going up the mountain to deal with the enemy. The military strategy says: If you are dangerous, I will live in Gaoyang first and wait for the enemy. If the enemy lives in Gaoyang first, I will lead it away, and do not follow it. In the past, Zhao She defeated the Qin army in Yanyu, and relied on sending ten thousand troops to seize the highlands of Yanyu and the North Mountain. The Qin army arrived later and attacked the mountain without falling. Zhao She took advantage of the situation, took the lead, attacked the Qin army from a high place, and then won a great victory."

This battle not only conforms to the military strategy, but also has the same effect as Yan and seems to be. In Geng Yan's view, the friendly forces on the mountain are slightly inferior to one and three, but...

"Since I have arrived, the situation is very different. I hope to join the generals to hunt in Longshan!"

...

The war in Jieting Nanshan entered a state of anxiety from the beginning.

Wei Xiang's original intention was to cut off the Wei army's way of drawing water, and then attack him when he was exhausted.

But he did not expect that the enemy had no intention of defending. When the Long soldiers occupied the stream and had not yet built the fortifications, they suddenly rushed down from the Nanshan Mountain in a dense array!

Although the Wei army was not wearing much armor from afar, the terrain of Nanshan could not be laid with large arrays. Just concentrate the armor in the front row of dead soldiers. This rushing seemed like a tiger going down the mountain, and the Long army's arrows could not block their pace.

Because Wei Xiang sent most of the infantry to intercept Wan Xiu's troops in the south, he could not withstand Wu Han's charge when he took the personal guards up. In a hurry, he could only let the Liang family, who was useless in the narrow battlefield, even the cliffs of the Nanshan Mountains, ride off their horses and shoot at the foot.

But before Wei Xiang ordered the person to be withdrawn from the riverside, he tried his best to spread the front line, and he rushed over and fought with the Long soldiers.

In this way, Longbing's dominant long-range weapon could not be fired, so he could only bite the bullet and use the primitive mechanics to consume the Wei army, and endure waves of offensives from the mountain.

But at this moment, a scout came to report to Wei Xiang, and another enemy army appeared!

"Is it that cavalry?" Wei Xiang suddenly felt a headache. Why was this general of Wei so brave? Although the number of people on the other side was small, it was enough to be fatal at this time. Wei Xiang had to transfer two thousand cavalry from Longyou to fight.

The Longyou Cavalry had just experienced a long journey of rushing and struggling, and had no physical advantage over the guest army. The exhausted war horses had just gone around to the west of the Nanshan Mountain and met the Bingzhou soldiers on the open river valley in the middle of Jieting Township.

This was the first time the two sides fought, but one side was exhausted after a big detour, the horse was thin, and the people were covered in dust; the other side was exhausted in rescue, and although they were fighting at home, people were panicked: Longshan, which thought it was natural danger, was repeatedly detoured and broken through, and more enemies, and their belief in war was getting lower and lower, which was undoubtedly a huge psychological test for them.

But this battle not only concerns the rise and fall of the two regimes, but also concerns the dignity of the two armies.

"Who is the number one thunder cavalry in the world!"

The cavalry of the good family in Longyou supported their tired bodies and put on the armor left in Lueyang City, and issued a call.

"Get on the horse!"

Although Wei Xiang transferred two thousand cavalry over, the real "god family cavalry" is actually only one thousand, and the other thousand cavalry is their servant cavalry. Behind each good family cavalry, there are basically a relatively wealthy Longyou landlord, with armor and weapons passed down from generation to generation, so it looks varied, some painted black, some dyed red, and even painted yellow. The styles include new and old, zither armor, fish scale armor, and zither armor. Here, you can find all types of armor from the Qin Dynasty to the present.

This is an army with a long history. It was so long that two hundred years ago that Li Guang fought in various border counties with his hometown, winning the reputation of "Li Guang's talent, unparalleled in the world".

They were the earliest pioneers of the thunder tactics. His ancestors once followed Wei, and Huo fought against the Huns in the north of the Mo and did not dare to look south.

The pride of our ancestors was immersed in the blood, and all the confusion about war and doubts about the future disappeared at the moment they rode on the horse, leaving only the desire to win the battle.

"I heard that these Bingzhou people were mostly shepherds, shepherds, and farmers a year ago!"

They were right, the Bingzhou military cavalry was indeed quite immature. The Longyou cavalry, who had been trained since childhood, was fully qualified and scoffed at the Bingzhou military cavalry, who had only been in the army for a year.

But its growth was also developed step by step by step with the Huns outside the Great Wall, not to mention that the Fifth Reunion spared no expense to build this army.

The most important thing is that the Fifth Reunion was found for the Bingzhou military cavalry and the cavalry were perhaps the best cavalry general in the world!

"The enemy is completely different from the Huns!"

Because there were not many cavalrymen in this time, General Geng became a brigade commander again and asked the battalions: "Although the cavalry of the Liang family in Longyou can also ride and shoot, he prefers synapses."

Two years ago, although Geng Yan missed the Battle of Zhouyuan because of his raid in Weiyi, he also heard about the bravery of the cavalry of the Liang family in that battle. However, this sharp spear failed to defeat the shield built by Jing Dan and Wan Xiu together. The Wei army was already quite skilled in standing against the cavalry.

"But today's battle, there is no shield."

Geng Yan stepped on the war horse. He had not led the team to the battlefield for a long time. Today, he was inspired by the "General Wan" on the Nanshan Mountain, and his blood boiled again.

"Only spear is against spear, knife is against knife!"

...

Geng Yan could observe the formation of Longyou Cavalry from afar: they should have used traditional tactics: five cavalry and one chief, ten cavalry and one official, one hundred cavalry and one general.

Because it was fighting in the plain river valley, it was an "easy battle", so every five cavalry of Longyou are in a row, with twenty steps in front and back, four steps in left and right, fifty steps apart, forming a relatively loose cavalry formation. The two wings were slightly spread out, in the shape of a crane wing, so as to use the advantage of military strength to encircle the enemy cavalry.

Unlike the Longyou Cavalry, the Bingzhou military cavalry was actually a "rising battle" method used in a narrow place. The rows were separated by ten steps, two left and right, twenty-five steps between the teams, and hundreds of steps across the vertical and horizontal. The formation was denser than the Longqi.

The weapons used also differ from one behind: one hundred riders in the front row, wearing scales specially used for transport on pack horses, holding long horse lances that are more than 2 feet long, and are the most exquisite martial knights.

After the second row, they only wore leather armor. After all, the guy was too heavy to go to Qianli, and he was holding a spear.

The third row is quite special. The one holding is a much shorter after the transformation and can be held with one hand. This thing is a blunt weapon, heavy and heavy, and it is useless when fighting the Huns. It is a weapon specially promoted by General Geng for the Liang Family Cavalry of Longyou. Because the Liang Family Cavalry is supported by family manors, the armor rate is very high.

Fourth, the fifth row is the standard ring-headed sword. Silver light shines in the sun. The first three rows are also equipped with ring-headed swords so that there will be no blades available after the long soldiers are broken.

Both sides hurriedly formed an array, and they moved almost the same thing. The enemy did not give them time to make peace. As the horn sounded, the two sides got closer and closer in the valley.

The two wings of the Longyou Army, or some sporadic Qiang and Hu cavalry, were recruited by Wei Xiang. They kept the stance of a racist and tried to get close to the harassment, shuttled in front of the formation, shooting arrows at the Bingzhou cavalry, hoping to lure the enemy out of the formation or shake. Once the generals of the Bingzhou cavalry could not bear it and easily move, the cavalry of the Longyou family who was slowly moving in the rear would aim at the weak spot without hesitation!

If the Bingzhou military cavalry was first established a year ago, this move might be effective, but after playing with the Huns and Hu Han in the New Qin Dynasty for a year, they were quite familiar with this tactic. The formation was ashamed and slowly moved with General Geng. Only special cavalry came out to shoot archery and counterattack, making the Qiang and Hu cavalry dare not be too arrogant.

The closer the two sides are to the formation, the more frequent this kind of harassment, and after reaching a certain critical point, it ends abruptly - the two armies are only one mile apart, and the horse speed is within a moment. Both sides begin to accelerate slowly, from pace to jogging, if the ranger in the middle does not leave, it will be washed into meat paste!

This means that the moment of appetizing snacks is over and the authentic dish begins!

Geng Yan is located in front of the middle of the cavalry formation. He is over the age of "fighting me". Such medium-sized cavalry confrontation, especially when the enemy is twice as big as his, will play a crucial role. It is convenient to observe the front row array here and make subtle adjustments.

For example, now, he found that several cavalry teams on his right wing might be too excited. When the jog was a little faster, he had to blow the horn to remind him that if it was too prominent, it would easily collapse for the enemy to attack first. Compared with the long-lasting infantry, the cavalry attacked faster and retreated faster.

Thanks to the hard training in Xinqin over the past year, the overall formation has been barely maintained. Compared with the Liang Family Rider who has been hunting together since childhood, it is no less than!

When both sides approached half a mile, those with good eyes could even see the decorations on the heads of the enemy's war horses. As Geng Yan made a sound of the third horn, the jogging turned into a fast running and the cavalry began to accelerate. But their original distances could ensure that they did not collide with each other, but in the next two hundred steps and more than a hundred breaths, the key to this battle was to maintain the formation of "risky battle"!

Geng Yan looked at his own array nervously. The knights were trying to control their emotions - their own emotions and horses. Don’t slow down because of fear, nor do you get faster because of excitement. If a person makes mistakes, he will disrupt a team. Such "black sheep" must be punished seriously in daily training!

Fortunately, they maintained a dense array, and Geng Yan knew that this was mainly due to the "stirrup". With them, riding a horse became a simpler thing and control the horse more meticulously.

On the other hand, the Longyou Liangjia Cavs, who are known as the "best riding skills", have also been arranged in a strict manner, but they have chosen a loose formation that is easier to execute, with wider intervals. As for the servant cavalry who acts as auxiliary soldiers, it is even worse. After starting to run, they show a little scattering.

The two sides were closer and could even see the expression on each other's faces clearly. Geng Yan waved the flag and immediately heard a violent suona among the teams - Emperor Wu called this new instrument "Charge". It can indeed cover up all sounds in the noisy battlefield!

Even overshadowed the rumble drum beats on the opposite side!

But the sharpness of the suona can only last for a moment. Next, the soldiers' ears were left with only the sound of horse hooves when the two armies were facing each other. At this time, even if you open your mouth and roar to enhance your courage, you can only hear a silence.

The cavalry in Bingzhou was lined up in front of the cavalry, and the long horse lances that were originally erected were laid flat, followed by the second row of spears and halberds.

They had just had time to blink, or even blink, and they had already collided with the galloping enemy!

The cavalry on both sides collided like two giant beasts, and the world became chaotic. At this moment, there were countless horse spears and spearheads pierced into the man's chest. The armor of the good family's ancestors could not stop such a rapid sprint. The spearhead and halberd tips were stuck in the armor, and blood gushed. I don't know how many people rolled off the horse, and were stepped into meat mud by more horse hooves. They cried everywhere and were panicked and scared everywhere, but the people behind still wanted to continue colliding!

Killing and being killed are only the moment when the horses are intertwined, and there is no time to think about the angle of weapons, personal skills, and riding skills. The most important thing is probably luck and courage.

At this time, the advantages of Bingzhou military cavalry, who dared to form a "rising battle" cavalry formation were revealed because of the advantages of stirrups. Their dense array was like a sharp spear, piercing a big hole in the center of the enemy formation!

The array of thousands of riders vs. two thousand riders is actually very thin. The front row passes by each other in the mutual impact. After decelerating the horse speed, it has already rushed to the position where the enemy has just stood.

The cavalry in the back row was not so fast, and more horses were fighting together. At this time, the advantage period of the Longyou soldiers came. After all, they were crowded, and the two wings began to double-team the central government, wanting to rely on the number of people to win in the melee.

But the Bingzhou military cavalry was obviously more prepared, and the iron blunt weapon was used. Although the armor of the good family cavalry was thick, the ordinary ring sword could not be able to break the armor without the help of the horse's speed, but the iron cavalry didn't care about these things and smashed them down violently. The armor was fine, and the flesh and blood underneath might not be certain! As the iron cavalry deformed little by little, many good family cavalry also fainted and fell off the horse.

More importantly, the ring sword fights against the ring sword. The Bingzhou military cavalry with stirrups and high saddles still have the advantage. The opponent's attention must not only be on his hands, but also always tighten the horse's belly. This beast's movement will cause you to lose balance.

Just when the two sides were in a melee and were about to stalemate, the Longyou Cavalry, who had just rushed to the formation and exchanged positions with the enemy cavalry, turned around and looked for the enemy who had suffered heavy losses. Only then did they realize that the more than 100 cavalry left in the front two rows of Bingzhou cavalry, after rushing through the Crane Wing Formation, did not turn around and fight again, but walked straight forward!

Is it timid or escape?

No!

The Longyou cavalry noticed this in horror. As the small group of cavalry formations suddenly raised Geng Yan's flag again, the white horse general dressed in fish-scale armor and rushed through the enemy formation with the troops. Under his leadership, the more than a hundred cavalry were left behind and ignored the strong enemy. They went a few miles away. After the reserve team was out, Wei Xiang, who was alone to protect him, advanced forward!

"not good!"

For a moment, everyone on the battlefield focused on this crazy cavalry team. Wei Xiang was shocked when he found this. The Longyou cavalry was entangled by the Bingzhou cavalry and could not escape. The loyal and worrying Qiang and Hu cavalry looked at each other and were still hesitating whether to chase him.

Wu Han, who was commanding the soldiers on the Nanshan Mountain and had already driven the Long soldiers through the stream, watched Xiao Geng's flag walk against the wind on the yellow soil in Longyou!

"Good guy, where did I come from reinforcements? It turned out to be you!"

Wu Han was shocked, and his first reaction was: General Geng, who had won the credit for his achievements!

He was furious: "Wei Xiang's head is mine."

Wu Han stepped into the Long River, and the bodies of Wei soldiers were piled up, and there was almost no flow of streams. Another Long Army was cut off and shouted angrily: "The enemy is scared. Please follow me and attack directly under Wei Xiang!"

"The good family in Longyou? The soldiers and cavalry in Bingzhou? Bah!"

"Although Old Wu has no horses now, the number one thunder cavalry in the world is still Yuyang thunder cavalry, my independent division!"
