The wind is blowing, the horse is roaring, and the sound of war drums is roaring.
Because too many troops gathered, the surrounding area of Xiami city had long been cut bare. It looked like a gray yellow land, which was even more desolate.
Wang Pu looked around. He was proud to find that he was the only one who unified his uniform on the battlefield. The rest, whether the Qingzhou army brought by Liu Zheng or the Gaomi rebels brought by Fei Yan, were all colorful, and many even wrapped a cloth around their crotch to hide their shame.
Unified uniforms can give people a subconscious of "I am a member of the collective", make people clearly know which side to stand on, and will produce a sense of closeness and trust because of the same uniforms.
Do you know what it would be like to stand on the colorful side without uniform and look at the other side of the uniform uniform? In addition to jealousy, it is more knowing to have a mentality of "good opposite" and "we are good amateurs". If we don't start fighting, we will be short first in our heart.
"The Han Dynasty is really rich!" Liu Zheng has the reason to say this: "in the whole state of Zhao, only the 'Dragon Guard' of the heavenly king has a unified military uniform. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan will give the whole army war robes!"
Liu Zheng is telling the truth. The army of the state of Zhao in Shijie rarely has a unified system, including military uniforms.
Not only the state of Zhao in Shijie, but also all Hu people's regimes at present, most of their troops do not have unified war robes, and only some special elite troops will be equipped with war robes in the form of the state.
Shijie is the Dragon Guard of the state of Zhao, the three thousand iron cavalry of the state of Murong Yan, and the Yi guard of the state of Tuoba.
The Dragon guards of the state of Zhao in Shijie were selected from the warriors of the Jie people. They are the troops that guard the capital of the state of Zhao in Shijie. They are also troops such as the forbidden guards. They are also directly under the command of the heavenly king of the state of Zhao in Shijie. With the financial resources of the whole country, they have only 3000 armor mounted iron cavalry and 8000 armored heavy infantry.
The 3000 iron cavalry of Murong Yan state are also equipped with armour. They improved when Murong Ke was in command. Each heavy cavalry will be equipped with an iron chain with a hook and thorn. As a result, it will become an iron horse.
In fact, the Yi Wei army of the Tuoba Dynasty is also an iron cavalry. The number is only a poor thousand. It is composed of the warriors of the Tuoba family. Like the heavenly king of the state of Zhao in Shijie, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the supreme ruler.
The reason why Yi is named is that Yi is a pet jointly worked by the ancestors, witches and water gods in myths and legends. It is intelligent. It looks like a dog like a snake, a dog head, a python body, four hoofs and a fish tail. It is tens of meters long. It lives in the water and has infinite power. (later killed by Zhu Rong, the God of fire)
Don't underestimate the key of unified uniform. Look at the atmosphere at the scene, and then look at the three armies of different camps, Liu Zheng's Qingzhou army and Fei Yan's Gaomi rebels. As long as the soldiers of these two armies look at the unified uniform troops in the Han Dynasty, they will feel inferior every time they look at them.
Of course, it was built on the prestige of winning the war in the Han Dynasty. If you want the army of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although the officers and men of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are also dressed in uniform, because the Sima royal family has repeatedly failed in foreign wars, any army against the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not afraid of the East Jin army in uniform even if it is dressed in all colors.
The military power of the Han Dynasty seems to be at its peak, but Liu Zheng and Fei Yan have a trace of expectation. After all, Liu Yan sent someone to say that he would stand in their camp. Although not so convinced, Liu Zheng and Fei Yan can only secretly pray that Liu Yan is really on their side.
After listening to the roaring war drum, many people lost the sound of war drum for a time, which made them not used to it. Their eyes seemed to fall into a trance.
Almost at the moment when the war drum stopped, the three sides took action. Liu Zheng's Qingzhou army sent 3000 troops out of the array, 2000 new troops in the Han Dynasty left the array, and Fei Yan took a defensive posture.
Looking at the dynamics of the battlefield, Liu Zheng and Liu Yan's troops are slowly approaching Fei Yan's headquarters. It's a bit like they want to jointly put out the rebels.
"Liu Yan can't pretend to be true?" Feiyan said that it was absolutely false not to be nervous. His breath became a little heavy: "what do you say?"
Mr. Gong Tao looked calm and said, "Liu Yan has no reason to do that."
The war ahead was imminent. After the two sides entered the range of each other, the war began with shooting arrows.
Wang Pu shouted, "erect a shield!"
The Han sent out two thousand new troops, preparing to defend against the arrows, and shooting their own arrows on the other side.
Liu Zheng was relieved to see that Liu Yan's army had a confrontation with Fei Yan's rebels. He ordered the formation to wave the flag to signal that the 3000 troops separated from the brigade could launch an attack.
Bursts of shouts began to appear on the battlefield. All kinds of dialects or languages were shouting "kill". In waves of arrow feathers, screams and groans were sent out from the mouth of the shot soldiers. While the blood was scattered on the earth, one body after another fell to the ground.
Feiyan's department is the side of defense. He can rely on the anti horse and fence put out, and shoot arrows again and again in the sound of impatient bangs.
The progress of offensive and defensive warfare will not be too fast. What matters is whether the archer can shoot more arrows and whether the hit rate is enough. Then there is the will of the soldiers. Which side can advance or defend against casualties, and the war will only be a temporary stalemate.
Liu Zheng paid close attention to the Han side. He saw that the number of arrows fired at each other was normal. Looking at the falling soldiers on both sides, a hanging heart was finally put back.
If someone becomes relaxed, someone will fall into tension. Fei Yan asked questions more than once, saying that Liu Yan doesn't seem to be acting and worried that Liu Yan won't keep his word.
"The military Lord is at ease." It doesn't matter what Mr. Gong Tao thinks in his heart. He looks extremely stable: "our existence is more good than bad for Liu Yan. However, if he has the ambition to capture more counties, it should be to destroy Liu Zheng's headquarters, not us."
Fei Yan knows all those things. They have already displayed the banner of Murong Xianbei. For the state of Zhao in Shijie, they are the most important target to be eliminated. As long as they still exist, how can the state of Zhao in Shijie tolerate the wanton expansion of the Han Dynasty? After all, one is an explicit enemy and the other is a local tribe that shows ambition, that is, the state of Zhao in Shijie has no concept of state, Also know how to distinguish what is light and what is heavy.
Every war in history can never fall into a decisive battle at the beginning. It will only consume the other party slowly. In short, it is to bleed the other party and constantly kill the other party in terms of strength and morale.
Liu Zheng ushered in the third non meeting dialogue with Liu Yan. Liu Yan sent someone to inform Liu Zheng that Liu Zheng was the main force. If Liu Zheng did not plan to invest more troops, Liu Yan would choose to withdraw from the battle temporarily.
"Reasonable." Liu Zheng said to his deputy Zhang Lin, "that's it on the first day. Mingjin withdrew his troops."
The roar of gold sounded. Liu Zheng's troops withdrew from the battle. When they retreated, they only lost less than 200 people. It can be seen that the war was not tragic at all.
Liu Yan also ordered Mingjin to go to war, and 2000 people withdrew and returned to 1926.
At the end of the first trial on the first day, the total loss of the three parties will not exceed 500, but this is also due. After all, there are not only two camps at war, but also three camps, and Liu Yan's existence not only scares Fei Yan, but also Liu Zheng does not believe that Liu Yan really wants to cooperate. In this way, the three parties will basically take a cautious attitude. How can they really work hard.
With the first, there will be the second. After the first wave retreats, there will be the second wave.
Feiyan was afraid. He chose the general to withdraw to the camp and rely on the camp for defense.
Everything has a corresponding match. For example, Fei Yan withdrew his troops to the camp, which made Liu Zheng feel at ease.
This time, Liu Zheng was obviously a little relieved. The 5000 troops sent began to rush to the camp in a few waves. Today, the first close combat seems to be coming?
Liu Zheng sent someone to give instructions to Liu Yan and ordered Liu Yan's troops to rush the camp.
"In order to make Liu Zheng more relaxed, send slave soldiers to rush the camp?" LV Yi thought that since he wanted to play, he should be realistic. He said, "do you want to send someone to appease Fei Yan?"
Feiyan doesn't look like a brave person. I don't know how such a timid person can make such a sensation and show the banner of Murong Xianbei.
"It should have been persuaded by Mr. Gong Tao." LV Yi reminded Liu Yan and said, "scholars are good at speaking and acting evil."
For the next four consecutive days, Liu Yan and Liu Zheng jointly attacked Feiyan's stronghold. Several times, Liu Zheng's Qingzhou army almost attacked the stronghold, resulting in more and more low-key envoys sent by Feiyan to contact Liu Yan.
Until Fei Yan sent Yan Ming, saying that if Liu Yan did not take any action, they would choose to retreat, and immediately withdraw from Qingzhou, leaving Liu Yan to face Liu Zheng and Yao Jing alone.
"I'm more curious about how they will retreat and where they will push." Liu Yan is really confused: "Murong Yan country has no navy?"
"Will retreat to Jin." LV Yi described the fact that Liu Yan had forgotten: "Murong seal was the king and general of Yan conferred by the state of Jin. Fei Yan can lead the army to withdraw into the state of Jin."
Liu Yan was stunned. He really didn't think about this. When Lu Yi said that, he suddenly said, "no wonder..."
Since Fei Yan can't hold on, Liu Zheng should relax his vigilance after many days of acting. Moreover, the troops that should be in place have been in place, so it's really time to show his real fangs.
That night, Liu Yan sent someone to contact Liu Zheng and made an appointment to work together to annihilate the rebels of Fei Yan.
While sending people to Liu Zheng's side, Liu Yan contacted Fei Yan to indicate the time when the Han ministry attacked Liu Zheng.
"It is difficult to defeat in the first war, so the first war will focus on the elimination of effective forces." Liu Yan smiled slightly strangely: "at that time, change the flag and say that those troops were bewitched by Fei Yan and joined the camp of Murong Xianbei."
It's like a children's game, but many things don't need to be logical at all. Learn from the words of TianChao officials: believe it or not, I believe it anyway!
