Chapter 328

There were about 20000 cavalry on both sides. The horses under their seats trod and rolled up dust. From a distance, they saw that the two dust clouds were close to each other. The neighing of the horses and the shouting of people penetrated the sound of the horses' hoofs.

All Qiang people are light cavalry. When they want to get close to the Han Army's sudden cavalry, they choose to shoot arrows first. In a moment, the arrows are like locusts.

The arrows will fly for a distance in mid air. When they fall, most of them will shoot in the air. The galloping Han Army sudden cavalry will bend down. The person or horse hit by the arrows depends on where they hit. It's not the key point that there are leather armor blocking, but they are injured. Only when they hit the key point will they fall to the ground.

"The cavalry of the Han army can't ride and shoot?" Yao Yizhong didn't see it very clearly. He was surprised and said, "it seems that there is no bow."

The sudden cavalry of the Han Army really can't ride and shoot. That's a limitation of the system. Liu Yan can't change it if he wants to change it.

At this moment, about 3000 Han Army sudden cavalry are fighting against each other. Bow cavalry and a few sudden cavalry are cruising around the periphery, looking to find the right opportunity to attack from the flank of Qiang cavalry.

The movement of cavalry against each other is far more than imagined. When cavalry collide with each other, the two cavalry are thrown out by a huge force and dance in half empty hands. They are more staggered with each other. The cavalry on horses wave or stab weapons when they are staggered with each other.

The Han Army's sudden cavalry were equipped with lances and machetes. The lances in their hands would be broken when they hit the enemy. It was a scene of wood chips flying around. After the lance is damaged, they will draw out the chopping saber on one side, and they don't need to wave too much. They just need to cross out the chopping saber to kill.

The equipment of Qiang cavalry is quite miscellaneous. If there is a gun, it is also a long gun with metal sharp objects on the head. Not everyone is a military general. As a result, many Qiang cavalry who hit the target will be knocked off their horses by the earthquake. Falling off the horse on the battlefield against cavalry means death. It will also be a very sad way to die.

Most of the Qiang cavalry have blunt weapons, that is, maces or wooden sticks. Blunt weapons are the most used lethal weapons by the Hu people, not only because the Hu people lack productivity, but also because the Hu people do not have as strong heritage as the Chinese civilization. The Chinese civilization's army has the method of practice, but the Hu people are herding. When they call in, they are soldiers and leave. They are herdsmen.

Hu people have the least number of weapons such as sword or Dao, which is really limited by the lack of productivity.

Riding is a state of movement. It's no small matter to be hit with a mace when galloping at high speed. Even being smoked by a wooden stick will cause serious damage. It is the same as the effect of hitting an object at high speed. It is a kind of kinetic energy brought by sprint. For example, people will have accidents when they run into a wall, not to mention being hit by each other at high speed.

The casualties of cavalry who intend to attack each other have always been not low. If it is not necessary, the Hu people will not use a similar hard hitting method. They are more used to shooting arrows at each other in a long cruise. They compare their toughness with a time-consuming method. Whoever can't hold on first is the loser. On the grassland, the Hu people compete for pasture. The main purpose is to drive each other out of the grassland, so the casualties will not be too high.

After the two cavalry collided with each other, the Han cavalry cruising on the side was the Qiang cavalry chased by cats and mice. The collision between the painting style and it was two different things.

"This..." Yao Yizhong noticed that the situation there was a little surprised: "but unexpectedly, the Han Army had such a cavalry Knight!"

Yao Yizhong had to be surprised. About 2000 Han troops were moving and shooting arrows. Nearly 5000 local cavalry who pursued them died all the way. If they could catch up, it would be all right. But there was really no sign of catching up.

The five thousand Qiang cavalry actually wanted to give up chasing. They could see that the other party could not cause any damage, but died all the way. Anyone would be frightened and frustrated at the same time. They had to chase again, or they watched the Han Army kill in from the flank of their own army.

Looking down, Yao Yizhong and other generals of the state of Zhao in Shijie kept taking the cold air above their heads. They continued to wonder why the productivity of the Han army was so strong. Then they had a new question, that is, where did Liu Yan collect those good riding knights.

The cavalry of the two armies were fighting, and the actions in other places did not stop, that is, the attention of the commanders of both sides was temporarily attracted by the cavalry fighting.

The cavalry hedging soon ended. After the two sides crossed, the people outside the field tried to evaluate the quantity.

"We lost more than three thousand." Huyansheng's archery is very good, while people with good archery generally have a pair of eyes with good eyesight: "the other party's loss is about 1000?"

In fact, the loss of the Han Army's sudden cavalry was not as much as 1000. The exact number was 680, while the loss of the Qiang cavalry was 336. That is not only the inequality of weapons and armor between the two sides, but also the gap in quality. It's normal for light cavalry and sudden cavalry to make a battle damage ratio of five to one.

Yao Yizhong was not surprised by so many losses. He calmly said: "one thousand at a time, Liu Yan will lose his mobile forces several times."

The generals of the state of Zhao in Shijie, taking advantage of the small strength of the Han Army, formulated a plan to lure the Han army out of the camp to fight a war of attrition, especially to consume Liu Yan's few cavalry and serve the next general attack.

In the next few days, the battlefield situation has been boring and repeated. The Qiang infantry army that should promote the construction of fortifications continued to bear heavy casualties and seduced the cavalry of the Han army out of the camp.

The war situation on the main battlefield was boring and bloody, and the peripheral war was opened with the arrival of Liu Yan's reinforcements.

Yao Yizhong learned that the Han Army had a fleet approaching the Luoyin front line. He sent 40000 steps to ride, and the command was huyansheng, a Tiger wing general.

They originally wanted to stop the Han army from landing, but the Qiang troops who went to the riverside to stop the attack were first shot by the bed crossbow from the warship, and the strong crossbow and bow behind joined. After a lot of casualties, they had to withdraw from the beach and watched the Han army land.

Huyansheng sent cavalry immediately after the Han army landed. This time, they faced the Han Army soldiers who used tower shields to build shield walls, and a large number of long spearmen formed a gun array. Naturally, the bow and crossbow soldiers of the Han army would not be absent.

The Qiang troops who attacked paid a heavy price by breaking into the shield array and gun array of the Han Army, but there were no great achievements under the collision. After all, in the face of the infantry in the dense square array, as long as the infantry did not collapse on their own, even the heavy cavalry would feel scared. You should know what would happen to the light cavalry.

Huyansheng reported to Yao Yizhong that the Han army was absolutely elite. He reported the composition of the arms of the Han Army, especially one of the arms encountered for the first time, that is, the great swordsman.

According to huyansheng's description, the heavy infantry holding a big broad sword in the Han army is quite ferocious. When moving forward, it is like a wall. The difference is that this wall is a loaded heavy infantry waving a big broad sword. Our light cavalry has competed with it. The light cavalry bumps into it and encounters a terrible situation. Whenever it is hit by a huge broad sword, both people and horses are broken.

"..." Yao Yizhong looked at the paper in his hand and looked strange on his face. He wondered, "Liu Yan... How can there be such a development?"

It's nothing strange to have heavy infantry. The Chinese civilization created such a situation by stepping and fighting, became the mainstream nation in the eastern world, and once became the only overlord in the eastern continent. This doesn't mean that the Chinese civilization can't fight by riding. In fact, since the horses were tamed and driven, both chariots and cavalry have been well used by the Chinese civilization's army, and this is not nonsense.

There is a special name in the spring and Autumn period, that is how many times the country. In the Warring States period, as long as it was the Warring States period connected with the northern grasslands, who lacked cavalry? Even with the cavalry culture fault of Chinese civilization caused by competing for Ding and deer at the end of Qin Dynasty, the Han Empire also absorbed and made good use of the riding skills of Xiongnu and zahu, and expelled Xiongnu with the newly learned riding method.

At present, even if Sima's family moved south with a large group of aristocratic families, the Jin army still mastered the war method of riding, and there are not a few Jin people who can fight on horseback in the Central Plains. The Chinese civilization was not good at riding. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the fault reappeared, but it was also caused by the loss of the horse farm.

Yao Yizhong was even more depressed. In recent days, he repeatedly seduced the Han army out of the camp to fight. After fighting for several days, he found that no matter how many Han Army cavalry were consumed the day before yesterday, there would still be no more than 5000 Han Army cavalry a day apart, giving him a strange impression that the cavalry in Liu Yan's hands would never die.

"How many Han troops have we consumed... The sudden cavalry and bow cavalry of the Han army?" Yao Yizhong got a data that should be 4000. When he heard it, he was very puzzled and said, "are we wrong in estimation, or don't we notice that Liu Yan keeps sending reinforcements into the camp?"

Mu Jian, the ningbei General of the state of Zhao in Shijie, said with great certainty: "if it can not be determined before, it can be confirmed after strengthening investigation and sentry. Absolutely no reinforcements have entered the Han Army camp!"

Yao Yizhong is still skeptical. He really doesn't understand how the cavalry in Liu Yan's hand can be maintained at about 5000. That's totally unreasonable!

In fact, there is one thing Yao Yizhong doesn't know. The 5000 cavalry sent by Liu Yan again and again is not the limit at all. That's because the intensity of the war on juyeze has increased, and the forbidden guards on juyeze battlefield have been killed continuously, which means that the number of places Liu Yan can "call" has been rising.

Yao Yizhong's side is the main battlefield. The places he sent to block Liu Yan's reinforcements are local battlefields. Are Dongping County in the belly of Yanzhou and Gaoping County in the northwest of Yuzhou not local battlefields?

If we look at the overall situation, the total number of Shijie Zhao troops serving Yao Yizhong absolutely exceeds 500000, it is a situation with the consent of Shi Hu, which means that the whole Shijie Zhao state attaches importance to the Han Dynasty!
