Chapter 202

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot them!"

Yao Lan's face was ferocious. They had attacked the Han camp for six days. Although they broke two checkpoints, they were firmly blocked at the third checkpoint.

Arrows fell from the sky, and the slave soldiers who were beaten to collapse screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

The slave soldiers of the Yao family army have consumed batch after batch. The "quality" of those in front is OK. The more they go to the back, the worse their physical quality and courage are, so that Yao LAN needs to rely on bloody deterrence to make the slave soldiers obey orders.

The first two camps of the Hanbu stronghold on the West Bank of the glue River have become ruins. A large number of war dead are scattered all over the ruins because they have not been treated.

A neat sound of footsteps sounded. It was nearly a thousand soldiers dressed in metal armor, holding Tower Shield in their left hand and sword in their right hand. Of course, they were the tribal armed forces of the Han Dynasty. It was because of the existence of these forces that Yao's army was firmly blocked in the third line of defense of the camp.

"Damn it!" Yao Lan was both angry and puzzled: "where did they get so many warriors!"

Armor is a general term. It is divided into light armor and heavy armor. Light armor is like the 1000 tribal armed forces still moving forward. Heavy armor is not a soldier wearing a layer of armor alone. It should be covered with soft armor inside and one or more layers of armor outside.

Yao LAN really doesn't understand. Liu Yan's top soldiers can be explained as sufficient productivity and smelting capacity, but the number of top soldiers in the Han Dynasty is really too many, which is a little exaggerated. In addition, the Yao family army consumed at least thousands of top soldiers in the Han Dynasty during the attack on the camp, and didn't see any reinforcements from outside. It's just that the top soldiers in the camp can't be killed!

In six days, Yao's army lost nearly 13000 people just on the side of the camp. It is a real loss and can no longer be used as combat strength. The result is to break through two lines of defense. Should it kill nearly 3000 Han soldiers?

Yao LAN shouted, "defense!"

It's funny! The number of Han soldiers in the camp will never exceed 10000, but the Han Army started to fight back yesterday. Yao LAN didn't take too much precautions when fighting back for the first time, resulting in more than 3000 slave soldiers. Otherwise, the attack in six days will lose 10000, not 30000.

A thousand soldiers are arranged in two columns, which is equivalent to two columns. Their straight line should be distributed about 700 meters. It can be seen from the rear that they are followed by many spearmen and archers.

Do you know what "short assault" is? The scene to start is.

A thousand soldiers began to accelerate in silence, and the sound of footsteps seemed to be the sound of war drums. After they ran a distance, about 2500 Han soldiers followed them shouted "for the tribe!", Follow and charge.

Yao Lan's face was jumping. He kept yelling "defense! Defense!", Glancing around, he said reluctantly, "this damn terrain, those damn obstacles!"

The battlefield is the two camps lost in the Han Dynasty. Because the war has not stopped, it is difficult for Yao's army to remove them. As a result, the wooden fences, wooden fences, horses, wooden stakes and other things still exist in the camp, making Yao LAN unable to join the cavalry.

Most of the slave soldiers in the Yao family army dodged their eyes. They were really afraid of those Han warriors who charged and fought in silence. That was the sequelae of the confrontation for many days. Anyone who was injured still fought desperately. The enemy who would make some noise only when he was injured or died in battle should be afraid unless he was really brave.

"Lord, we should launch a charge and collision!" Yao Yu had a scar on his face, which made his face look ferocious. He waved his mace: "the courage of those slaves has been broken. It's up to our warriors to fight in person!"

The Yao brothers came to Beihai county one after another. They brought nearly 14000 clan soldiers, and only lost about 1000 in the battle of more than ten days. It can be seen that the Yao brothers still cherish the clan soldiers very much.

"No! Let the slave soldiers block it. See if you can flank from the left and right sides." Yao LAN will not be distressed by the number of slave soldiers who died. The ethnic soldiers of the Qiang nationality are the basis for the Yao family to have a place in the Central Plains.

The collision in front has happened. The armored man bumped into the chaotic crowd with a sparse arrow, hit it with a shield or waved a sword.

In the past few days, the morale of the slave soldiers of the Yao family has long been at the bottom of the valley because of the bad war. If they can retreat in the face of the collision of the warriors of the Han Dynasty, they will definitely turn around and run away. The problem is that there is a supervisory team composed of Qiang people behind them. They can only hold simple weapons and cry and use their bodies to hit and split sharp weapons.

"Qiang people scattered to the left and right wings." Zhong Xing wiped his face. It was the blood sprayed from a man who had just been hacked to death: "you take people to form a front on the left wing, and I take people to the right wing."

Chen Jiaju smiled grimly and nodded.

The officers who came to Beihai county to take part in the war have not experienced many bloody battles on the Korean Peninsula, and their psychological quality must pass the customs before they can not be "distributed". So many combat experiences have also given them enough experience to have the most basic judgment on the battlefield.

The battlefield seems a little narrow and can't put too many troops. Should there be nearly 500 Qiang soldiers on the left and right wings?

Qiang is one of the five major ethnic groups today. They have a long history. They can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. They were originally active in the southwest basin and plateau. They were also active in the south of the western regions in the Western Han Dynasty. They did not enter the northwest until the Eastern Han Dynasty to occupy the land originally belonging to the Han people.

There are not few historical records of the Qiang people in the past. For example, during the rebellion of the Qiang people in the northwest at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han historians never regarded all the Qiang people as the same ethnic group. Even the Qiang people themselves do not think they are the same ethnic group. They even dislike the name Qiang people.

So far, the oldest and more mature character found in China is the oracle bone inscriptions, a representative character of the Yin and Shang Dynasties more than 3000 years ago.

In the oracle bone inscriptions, there is one and only text about the title of nation (or clan or tribe), namely "Qiang", which is the earliest record of Chinese human family number.

"Shuowen Yangbu": "Qiang, Dayu, Xiqiang shepherds also follow people from sheep, and sheep also sound." Qiang, as he called it, At that time, the tribes in the Central Plains generally referred to all nomadic nationalities in the West (GaN 1su, Ning 1sha, Xin 1jiang, Qing 1hai, Xi 1shan and Si 1chuan). Therefore, it can be said that the di ethnic group is by no means a single nation. They have different ethnic tribes, languages, costumes and customs, and the only thing they have in common may be "living by water and grass" The nomadic way of life, but the term Qiang has been circulated and quoted.

"Pay attention." Zhong Xing loudly reminded: "Qiang people are different from miscellaneous Hu. You can't be careless!"

Qiang people entered the Central Plains much earlier than Xiongnu people or Jie people. Some Qiang people have no difference from Han Miao people in living habits and clothes after the passage of time.

Of course, that's still for some "advanced" Qiang people, such as the Yao family. In fact, most Qiang people still maintain their own living habits and clothes. For example, the two groups of Qiang people who are circuitous on the left and right wings have obvious characteristics. The military officers wear the same hair crowns as the Han and Miao people, and the commanded Qiang people retain the appearance of wearing sheepskin and ponchos.

"Kill!"

Different languages shouted the same word, and the two groups collided. Most of the Qiang people were blunt tools, and the Han side was either spear or sword or knife. As a result, the dull sound and the sound of sharp blades breaking flesh and blood intertwined.

Who is Zhong Xing? He is now down and out, but he was the lineal blood of a family. He received traditional Han family education since childhood and has a good sword skill. In addition, he has been climbing, touching and rolling on the battlefield for two or three years. Almost at the moment of war, he stared at the leader of the enemy.

The traditional Han family education is the six skills of a gentleman. In addition to the integrity of the Central Plains, all families in the Central Plains have added melee fighting skills in addition to "shooting". Cai you, for example, seems to be a weak man, but at least he knows how to dance sword. For Zhong Xing, who can fight on the battlefield, he needs martial arts skills.

Many Han soldiers saw Zhong Xing cut off the heads of the other officers and held them high. When their morale was boosted, they shouted "Wansheng!". Similar cheers have been heard many times in recent days. At the beginning, Liu Yan in the direction of the main city thought it was to kill some important people. He didn't expect that he would shout just to kill some enemy officers like the commander of thousands, which really made Liu Yan feel a little cheap.

The flanks of the left and right wings were blocked. Yao LAN looked at the retreat of the slave soldiers in the front battlefield. His face was very ugly. Without saying a word, he drove the reins back.

Yao LAN didn't do this for the first time. He retreated with his troops. For the first time, he wanted to attract the Han soldiers in the camp to pursue and charge with cavalry, but the Han side was not fooled. In the following several times, the war was unfavorable and necessary retreat was carried out. When the Han army pursued the edge of the camp, it would shrink back again. Yao LAN waited for the Han soldiers to withdraw, and it would occupy the previous space again.

For Yao family army and Qingzhou army, the war in the past ten days is definitely a painful process, but it is gradually on the right track.

It was Liu Zheng who transferred a group of craftsmen. The means of attacking the city is no longer just taking the siege ladder. You can play with other means.

"A month." Yao Lan's face was livid: "one month is the deadline. If we can't capture the secret, we will adopt a siege, and then sweep through the counties occupied by the Han Dynasty."

Hu Ren is really not good at attacking the city. Otherwise, why not repair the old cities after occupying the Central Plains? Is it very deliberately to keep the dilapidated appearance?

Liu Zheng's face is also iron green. He doesn't know how to hate Zhang Liang who repaired Xiami city (with the same surname as liuhou).

"I don't know what's going on..." Yao Jing not only turned blue, but also had constipation on his face: "I always feel strange. For example, Liu Yan's partial teacher hasn't appeared. The Han Warriors over the camp have the appearance of fighting more and more?"

Don't say, they all found a similar situation, or it's just that the war is unfavorable. What's terrible is the unknown of some things
