Chapter 230

Among the incomparable forces that formed a separatist regime within the state of Zhao in Shijie, let alone the small ones, the largest is the Qiang and di groups of Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong.

Zhao state of Shijie can tolerate the separation of the Qiang and the tribe from the public. But look at where Yao Yizhong and Hong Hong are, and the elite of the two ethnic groups are also forced to locate in the vicinity of Xiangguo.

As for those small tribes and even some medium-sized forces that don't obey the central command of Xiang, if they don't obey, they won't obey. Just hide quietly in the corner and draw a circle or be a quiet beautiful man. If you dare to jump, you'll destroy one by one.

The troops who went to wipe out the leaping Huan forces would not be the own troops of the state of Zhao in Shijie. Generally, there are several steps. The first wave is to order the local giants to gather troops to obey whose orders. If they can't be wiped out, it's the turn of the second wave of county soldiers. If they still can't be wiped out, it's the turn of the qihuo army, a servant army specially used for repression. If they still can't serve the army, they call ran min Shang.

Generally, it's ran min's turn to lead the troops to fight the rebellion, and then it's the two accomplices of the Jie nationality, that is, the Qiang nationality and the di nationality, who should be ready to fight. But ran Min has always done a good job in fighting the rebellion, and rarely let Shi Hu wave out the Qiang or di troops.

Normally speaking, the above steps should be taken to exterminate the Han Dynasty, but Liu Yan has really made some big moves. Then, Liu Yan has fought all the way against the local family, killed the sheriff, and faced the joint expedition of the children of the big family and the governor of the state.

After "killing monsters and upgrading" all the way, it was indeed the turn for a higher level of treatment, that is, ran min didn't come and came to the level of general of the fourth expedition, which was more than twice as high.

"When the enemy came out of fenggao, it was..." Ji Chang pointed to the map, which marked the mountain area, about 50 miles east of fenggao: "the scouts reported that the enemy had camped inside and outside the valley and had tied up the main general's flag, but Deng Heng came in person."

Xu was nodding. He said, "we have more cavalry than infantry. We must have been spied. The enemy's main general will build a camp in the mountains."

Xu Zheng and Ji Chang were cautious about Deng Heng's arrival at the forefront with only a small number of troops and horses.

In the same sentence, the army is by no means a large number of people. If Deng Heng Hula came with more than 100000 people, Xu Zheng and Ji Chang would not be so careful. On the contrary, Deng Heng only took his soldiers to reflect his attention.

Although the two armies are proud to be valued by the other side, it also represents countless troubles. Don't think about using tricks. Even the use of battlefield tactics will increase the difficulty many times.

"Tomorrow is coming." Ji Chang thought and looked at the map for a long time. He added, "since they don't want to come out, block it."

Xu Zheng is in charge of the front battlefield command, and the rest is the work of military commander Shi. He had to ask some things: "if you want to block the mountain road, do you need to ask for more troops from you?"

Xu Zheng still knows the simple truth. To block the mountain road, he must detour from other directions, such as detouring to attack the enemy's back road. In this way, their troops are stretched.

"More infantry are needed." Ji Chang nodded his head: "maybe... What the enemy Lord will want is mountain warfare."

Damn it, the Han Dynasty is definitely a force full of the characteristics of Chinese civilization. Shijie Zhao Guo is a genuine Hu regime. When they meet on the battlefield, they change their position and become Hu troops, trying to fight step by step.

It is impossible for one party to hold a key mountain and immediately conduct a large-scale contact war. It is clear that it will take time, so as the other party, it must change its tactics.

The next day, the Han army pulled out and maintained a relatively rigorous formation along the way, filled with dust and smoke.

Deng Hengte led his soldiers to climb the mountain and look into the distance. Although some places are blocked by the terrain, he can still see a large amount of dust on the horizon, and a black line moves forward smoothly.

"Is the enemy marching fast?" Deng Heng chuckled, "it seems that the news of having thousands of iron cavalry is true."

Look, this is a veteran with rich experience. You can always see more clues from some subtle things, and then you can probably know the structure of the enemy after deliberation.

If there is no general who actually leads the troops to fight, he will wonder how a troop with a large number of cavalry can not march fast. It is natural to think that cavalry should be a branch of marching by leaps and bounds, but forget that horses are far more difficult to serve than people. Besides, it's hard to serve a war horse. It should be led by an iron horse. Many times, taking care of a war horse with armor and riding gear is more careful and careful than serving me.

Just watching, Deng Heng was stunned when he saw the pole "Fei" flag. Then he said with a dumbfounded smile: "Liu Yan is still too small-minded and has less courage."

Is there the idea of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely and slowly becoming the king" in this era? Perhaps there is, but more is "wind and fire", that is, a little strength should be swaggered or even infinitely exaggerated.

There will be different mainstream in different times. For example, after shile defeated the Hun state of Zhao, he immediately publicized his hundreds of thousands of troops everywhere, and the Jie nationality is millions. The reality is that shile's soldiers who could fight at that time were thirty-five thousand, and the Jie nationality would not exceed three hundred thousand.

Exaggeration is to attract more people with a strong momentum. Facts have proved that the Jie people succeeded. They became the overlord of the Central Plains with less than 300000 people. Later, they ruled by cruelty that was more than beasts. (the cruelty of the Jie people in the early stage is to frighten, and later they are killed because of cruelty)

Cui Xuan came. He came with a batch of grain and fodder.

"Really? More than a thousand vegetable people?" Deng Heng frowned and finally chose not to continue the topic. He pointed to the approaching Han Army: "the general has sent cavalry, you can watch together."

Vegetable people are not special varieties. They have a name called "two legged sheep", which is specially provided to the Capricorn people to "improve food".

It's not nonsense. It seems that eating people by Capricorn people has become a habit. It may not be so particular at ordinary times, but you must bring vegetables when you go on an expedition.

Cui Xuan didn't seem to hear that Deng Heng deliberately changed the topic and nagged: "he is already preparing pots and tools. After boiling the water, he will throw the dishes in. The introduction must frighten the Han Army, military master..."

"Roll down the mountain without looking." Deng Heng restrained his temper and asked, "who asked you to prepare the pot?"

Cui Xuan finally reacted, frowned and said, "it's Shi Ping.", Then he said, "isn't this normal?"

Deng Heng was silent. When he was old, he began to pursue the name behind him. He paid great attention to some things he didn't care about before, such as how to treat fellow Miao people in this life.

Shijie Zhao army did have troops out. There were about 1000 cavalry, a small number of Jie people, and the rest were composed of Qiang and Di people. After attacking, they approached the approaching Han Army at a slow speed.

According to Deng Heng, the Han Army in the distance did not stop advancing, but there were a group of soldiers in the army. Should the surface area occupied be the same more than a thousand cavalry?

"Take the same number of cavalry against!" Ji Chang smiled grimly: "since you pay attention to the military commander, let him pay more attention!"

Xu is nodding fiercely. There is a keen expectation in his eyes. It's nothing else. They will have a bigger game later.

Not as much as 1000, it's only 800, but it's the Huben army.

It was Li Tan who led the army to fight. He was wearing a bright armor and holding a horse's name. On both sides of the horse's neck, there were riding bows, arrow bags and a saber.

The rest of the knights who followed the battle wore the same clothes as Li Tan, but the guy in their hands was not a horse's name, but a brittle wood cavalry gun. In addition to the riding bow and arrow bag, what hung on the side of the horse's neck was a chopping saber with an extended handle. In addition, the difference was just the distinction on some willow bundles (ribbons) of armor.

The length of the handle of the horse chopping knife is about 70 cm, the length of the blade is 1.2 meters, the back is thick, and the blade is slightly curved. It must be said that although Liu Yan put forward the concept and made it, the chopping Sabre was produced as early as the Han Dynasty.

It is recorded in the book of Han Dynasty that Wang Mang sent Wu to defeat Dong Zhong by chopping his horse.

The biography of Zhu Yun in the book of the Han Dynasty also contains: the minister is willing to give the Shang Fang to cut off his horse, cut off one head of the courtier and attack the rest. Ask who is flat to the day, Chang Hou Zhang Yu.

In addition, the chopping Sabre can also be divided into riding type and stepping type, which is clearly distinguished in the length of the handle.

Because they were determined to rush at the beginning, the two cavalry did not choose to bend around, but rushed straight to each other.

At a distance of about 80 steps, Li Tan put the horse on the saddle, roared, took out the riding bow and shot with an arrow. Behind him, 800 Huben cavalry knights were drawing their bows and shooting arrows. After firing three waves, they loosened their bows and let them hang, and replaced them with melee weapons.

When the Huben army shot the first round of arrows, the Zhao cavalry in Shijie opposite was actually preparing to ride and shoot. They waited for the Huben army to finish the first round and shoot the second round before they shot the first round.

Almost one before and one after, the arrows fell in the camps of both sides. Shijie Zhao Jun had been evading before. Damn it, the Han Army shot at their scale direction in the second round. As a result, when an arrow rain fell, it must be too late to avoid again. Nearly 100 people fell directly at the moment when the arrow rain fell.

"Their arrows are lengthened!"

Take a closer look, the arrow of the tiger Ben army is really a lengthened arrow rod. Only by understanding what the arrow lengthening arrow rod means can we know how terrible it is. On a closer look, the arrows of the Huben army are all three edged. This kind of arrow has a special name called armor breaking arrow.

The arrows fell on the side of the Huben army. A piece of arrowheads collided with leather or metal. Waiting for some arrowheads to destroy the cloth cover covered by the war horses, Shijie Zhao Jun stared at the leather armor of the Han Army's war horses one by one
