The devil is coming

Chapter 841 Jingnan Army, mighty!
Sanshanguan, as its name suggests, is a mountain pass with three mountains stacked on top of each other.
Even Snow Customs, which is recognized as the most advantageous terrain in the world, is actually a defense system composed of a series of military forts and strongholds in the surrounding Tianduan Mountains.
In this world, any military city checkpoint built by people will basically not have the imaginary pattern of "one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it";
Of course, you can choose to go around, but your food path will leave a sharp knife in your back, which can stab you back at any time, making you passive from the beginning.
The geographical advantage of Sanshanguan is established here. It is the most dangerous place between Zhao and Liang. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The pass is one of them. In addition, military strongholds are also set up on the hillsides outside the pass. The attackers have to face up to attack, which can echo the horns of the pass itself.
If you want to break through the barrier, you must uproot the military stronghold on the mountain.
at this time,
The sun has just risen,
Chen Yang, the Bo of Dayan Yi Mountain, was holding a large bowl in his hand. The bowl contained rice, meat, pickles and sauce. Beside Chen Yang, there was a large group of soldiers.
These soldiers are generally strong and strong, their armors and weapons are all piled aside, and they are having breakfast.
On weekdays, the food of the soldiers can be a little worse, but in wartime, there must be no sloppiness or generality. The conditions must be as good as they can be.
Young ladies who have never really done physical work for a long time will not know what to eat in a day to ensure that they have strength and energy until late at night. There is no oil, water or salt in their stomachs, just like they don’t have a pressure stone, they can’t walk Can be unstable.
And fighting is far more tiring than pure physical work, because it is also accompanied by a high degree of mental tension, and the consumption is actually even greater.
Eat early to be full. After all, the war situation is changeable. God knows when the next meal will be available. It is even hard to say whether there will be another meal.
Around them, there was a group of other soldiers responsible for serving food and water. Although they were all Pao Ze and Qiu Ba, they all served them willingly.
The soldiers trapped in the battle are the tip of the spear of an army. In the army, they enjoy the best treatment and the highest respect.
One detail is that when these people eat, they do not sit completely, but squat with one foot raised, and all their weapons are placed on their left hand side;
The outer ones are basically in an elliptical pattern, which means that even when eating, they still maintain a kind of vigilance.
These Qiu Ba might not be able to calculate the accounts accurately in the red tent on weekdays, and it would not be surprising at all for them to be ripped off after drinking a few cups of horse urine;
But on the battlefield, as soon as this atmosphere comes out, everyone will naturally enter an instinctive state.
This is the aura of the elite.
The reason is that when Prince Heping is at home, he must pursue a sense of ritual when eating, drinking and sleeping every day, otherwise he will not eat well and sleep well. But once he goes to the battlefield, all the problems will disappear.
Chen Yang's adopted son Chen Xiong was sitting next to Chen Yang, also eating with a bowl in his hands.
"Father, I heard that when Prince Pingxi's troops from Eastern Jin were fighting, there were strict standards for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and everyone ate the same."
Since logistics relies on looting Zhao's land for supplies, the Yan army is not short of food at this stage, but they eat whatever is available;
As for Pingxi Palace, as early as in Shengle City, it was already establishing a strict and prudent logistics supply system;
Nowadays, when the army goes on an expedition, there are strict regulations on supply requirements. Instead of letting the soldiers in the military camp ahead use local materials and use them flexibly, various workshops and shops under the palace have already made semi-finished products from the general supplies. Then transport it to the front line.
This greatly improves supply efficiency and reduces losses, and secondly, it can also improve the military supply level of frontline soldiers as much as possible;
Moreover, this "standardized" process, which is reflected in food, clothing, housing and transportation, is an extension of the pursuit of order and discipline, which can complement military discipline.
But it is very difficult to do this. You have to have your own set of logistics systems, and at the same time you have to shoulder the responsibility of "self-produced and self-sold".
Logistics is the court's greatest weapon in controlling the military leaders at the front;
Therefore, in the entire Dayan, there are only two families that can achieve this level now;
One is the Zhenbei Palace. Even if the Zhenbei Army has been split up, the foundation of the palace is still there, and the influence of the Li family’s northern feudal emperor has not completely dissipated;
The other one is the newly established Pingxi Palace.
None of the former Jingnan Princes could do this, because Prince Jingnan had never really defined and managed his own territory. However, even a blind man would not be naive enough to think that Prince Jingnan himself would not do it. The shadow of "One Point" is really profound. It can only be said that Tian Wujing never thought about starting a rebellion from the beginning to the end.
The shock caused by the Battle of Fan City has long been separated from the war itself;
For ordinary Yan people, it was their prince who had won another hearty victory, but for the Yan court, it meant that the foundation of the Pingxi Palace in eastern Shanxi was solid enough to be able to "independently" cope with it. the extent of the war.
It is no exaggeration to say that when the Great Xia collapsed and various countries were fighting, the so-called "country" was not as "orthodox" as the Pingxi Palace today.
The economy, people's livelihood, military, and culture are all taken into account. The leaders who once disappeared in the long river of history have not been able to do this.
"When this battle is over, I will take care of the previous matters. You can go to Jindong. The Prince of Pingxi is currently employing people, so there will be a place for you."
"Father, that's not what I meant."
"But that's what I mean." Chen Yang looked at Chen Xiong seriously, "Rather than being forced to take sides in the future, it would be better to take advantage of the trap early."
Chen Xiong was about to say something more, but Chen Yang raised his hand to stop him.
Chen Yang took a wet handkerchief from the guard and wiped his face and hands.
road;
"Li Fusheng is dead."
Chen Xiong was silent. His adoptive father would often talk to himself suddenly like this since he learned about the death of Tiger Weibo on the front line.
in fact,
For Chen Yang, he was already an earl. Not every general could have the good fortune and ability of King Pingxi, who could be granted the title of king after military merit.
This is even beyond the mere accumulation of military achievements. First of all, you must be a member of the Liuye Party early on, have a sworn relationship with the emperor, and trust each other to an extremely high level.
Therefore, in terms of career, Chen Yang is almost at an end. If Dayan can start a battle to unify all the Xia in the future, he will have a chance to challenge the Marquis.
Regarding family, he has no regrets.
perhaps,
The only thing missing,
It was because of the departure of Prince Jingnan.
As soon as Prince Jingnan left, the military spirit of the Jingnan Army had actually been taken away.
To struggle, resist, and want to maintain the original glory is the instinct of this group;
But in fact, Chen Yang had already resigned himself to his fate and accepted the final outcome.
Yes, he had a confrontation with the imperial envoy at Sushan Camp, but in the past, he would have rebelled long ago in the face of such humiliation, and the imperial court did not dare to directly use such methods against local military leaders.
Claiming to be sick is actually a way of coping in the rules. No matter how much you shout against it, you have already integrated into it.
Originally, this life was supposed to end like this;
After a few more years of leading soldiers, training two batches of new pawns, and taking care of his nephew, he would be able to find a way to retire and entertain his grandson. How great.
If there is another call from the imperial court in the future, at most it will be wrapped in horse leather, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.
But the problem is that Li Fusheng's death made Chen Yang have to bear this guilt forever in his subsequent life.
at this time,
Chen Yang raised his head and looked at the slope ahead,
road;
"Later, if my father falls, let him lie down for a while."
"Father……"
"Definitely, what kind of words are these?"
The soldiers around Chen Yang all looked at the dwarf coldly.
Among the front army, the majority were soldiers and horses from the Sushan camp, which was Chen Yang's headquarters, and this dwarf had been riding on his uncle's head to make trouble these days;
That humiliation, that disdain, was even worse than that of the imperial envoy back then, and because he was even more shameless, there was really nothing he could do about it.
that day,
The prince from behind sent an order,
This dwarf relays military orders.
The dwarf cleared his throat.
Directly "according to the script" and "authentic",
The opening is:
"Old dog Chen, take the order!"
For a moment, many generals in the military tent were so shocked that they even forgot to get angry.
But Yi Shanbo laughed out loud at that time,
get up,
kneel down,
Take the order,
shouted:
"The old dog is here!"
Liang Zi has formed one after another for a long time. Throughout the ages, the interests of the supervisory army are actually consistent with the general direction of the general. Like this dwarf, the supervisory army is disgusted by the gods and ghosts of the whole army. I am afraid he is not the only one. It’s a share.
Xue San simply ignored the cold looks from these soldiers.
He reached out and patted Fan Li's calf beside him.
road;
"Ali, you have to rush in front of Uncle Yishan later. Uncle Yishan wants to be lazy and run away."
Fan Li, who was standing beside him, did not cooperate with Xue Jianjun's words.
But bend down,
asked;
"Is there any food left?"
……
On the wall of Sanshanguan, the newly promoted king of Zhao Guanshan Bronze sits on the tail seat;
The person sitting at the head of the table was a graceful young master, and the one sitting next to him was Han Laowu, the general in charge of Daqian.
"Don't worry, you two. The mountain road is rugged and the terrain is mine. The Yan cavalry cannot deploy here. Xiao Wang always pays attention to the use of bows and crossbows by his soldiers;
There are three mountains and three military strongholds, and the Yan people can't even think of chewing them down for more than a month! "
Guan Shantong was beating his chest and making sure.
Han Laowu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't need more than a month, it's enough to hold it for ten days."
The Yan people had to attack from their backs and build up one military stronghold after another. They could also send troops from Sanshan Pass to fight with the Yan people repeatedly. Three military strongholds were enough for the Yan people to drink a pot.
Xie Yuan said: "Six or seven days is enough."
Guan Shan Tong immediately said: "Young Master, this king..."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Six or seven days will be enough to wear down the spirit of the Yan people. By then, Han Tongzhi's troops will be able to attack. If we can win another game here at Sanshan Pass, this game of chess will be alive." .
By then, our army will defeat the Yan army in front of us, and we can take advantage of the situation to march westward, seize the capital of Zhao State again, and help King Zhao officially ascend to the throne! "
Han Laowu and Xie Yu'an looked at each other, but they actually didn't say something clearly.
After the great victory in Liang, both Chu and Qian actually sent money, grain, troops and horses to Liang to supplement their supplies, but not too much.
The Chu State had to be prepared for attacks by the Pingxi Prince's Mansion at Zhennanguan and Fancheng.
The three sides of Qianguo can no longer draw out elites;
In fact, there are many troops and horses in other parts of the Qian Kingdom, but in the entire Daqian, only the troops and horses on the three sides can make people feel more at ease. The troops stationed in other places can only be used as auxiliary troops, really. When you go out to the battlefield, you still have to worry about them collapsing first and bringing down the whole situation.
Therefore, Meng Gong and Xie Zhuyang have reached a tacit understanding within the Qian-Chu coalition.
The main theme is to withdraw troops;
But when the main tune is in progress, it is not impossible to try a small part in it.
The pie is too big, because no matter how you look at it, King Pingxi is really too reckless in sending troops this time;
The most important thing is that he actually captured the capital of Zhao State. It is easy to bite off more than you can chew, and it is easy to be defeated.
Anyway, it is Zhao people who are trying, and the new Zhao King, who is "supported" by Qian Chu, will contribute his final value.
However, these words cannot be said to the new King Zhao.
At this time,
The semaphore was passed on.
Guan Shantong immediately said:
"The Yan army has begun its first round of offensive."
……
"brothers."
Chen Yang faced the more than two thousand soldiers in front of him;
This is the vanguard army, because the battlefield layout is here, and there are only so many troops that can be filled in at one time. Even if you have a huge military advantage, you cannot expand it;
Only after the vanguard army breaks through the front road can the follow-up troops have room to follow.
Fighting with cold weapons is extremely cruel, and pre-battle training is also necessary, because the subsequent attack from above will inevitably pave the way forward with blood and corpses, and the soldiers under his command must maintain the fanaticism in their minds.
"Uncle Hu Wei died. They all said that it was because I, Sushan Camp, refused to obey the discipline that led to Uncle Hu Wei's death in the battle. The guilt of killing Pao Ze, whether we like it or not, is actually on our heads.
you,
They are all soldiers led by me, Chen Yang, and they have followed Prince Jingnan on his expeditions in the north and south. They are direct descendants of my direct lineage in the Jingnan Army.
I am Yan Dierlang,
How could you suffer such humiliation!
It doesn't matter no matter how many people in the world slander me. Today, I will take you to use your military exploits to avenge your shame!
You are not allowed to retreat before Uncle Ben falls!
After Uncle Ben falls, you are also not allowed to retreat!
nowadays,
In Dayan,
In terms of the strongest army in the world, it has almost become Prince Pingxi’s Shanxi Army;
It's time for the world to remember,
then,
I, the Jingnan Army,
This is Dayan’s first-class powerful army!
The second and third sons follow me and kill them! "
A brief pre-war mobilization,
Subsequently,
It was Chen Yang who took the lead to move forward with a bow and a sword, followed closely by a group of soldiers.
After Fan Li had eaten, he set his sights on Chen Yang early. He stood next to Chen Yang like an iron tower. Coupled with Fan Li's armor, it was similar to the big iron cans in the European Middle Ages. This defensive power, It's amazing.
These soldiers all wore heavy armor and held hard bows, and very few had shields.
The armor is already very heavy, and when the bow is pulled up, there is no way to hold a shield. The most important thing is that this kind of upward attack requires not defense, but fearless progress. The defender is often more willing to work hard than you are.
In fact, under this kind of heavy armor protection, it makes no difference whether you take a shield or not. The defensive power of heavy armor can often allow a person to still wield a sword even if he is shot into a hedgehog;
But firstly, the cost is too high, secondly, the maintenance cost is also heavy, and most importantly, the soldiers' physical strength is difficult to persist for a long time.
However, in the past few years, the Yan Dynasty conquered the south and the north and was invincible. Basically, it was the fierceness and sharpness of this group of Yan Dierlangs. These veterans and generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time generally have good strength. At the same time, he also knows how to preserve himself and save energy on the battlefield.
They are the true essence of the Yan Army.
This can only be achieved by winning battles one after another. Simply training cannot achieve this level.
Why still win the battle?
Because it’s easy to defeat someone who always defeats the enemy...
attack,
it has started.
Chen Yang and Fan Li were in front, and a group of Jingnan Army soldiers scattered behind and beside them;
It would be foolish to charge in a swarm. Everyone was hunched over, trying their best to find cover and move forward.
Soon, arrows began to be fired from the military camp above. Some people were unlucky and were shot. And by accident, they hit the weak area of ​​the armor's defense. Those who could still hold on, continued to move forward. Those who couldn't hold on, I can only find a place to lie down.
The Yan army did not shoot at each other, but continued to advance silently, completely resisting the arrows of the Zhao army above.
People keep falling down,
But this rhythmic progression has not diminished.
Chen Yang's face did not look heavy, but became more and more relaxed.
this moment,
The depression and birdiness that had accumulated in his heart seemed to have finally been relieved.
What imperial envoy, what old dog, what criticism,
Go to hell!
Li Fusheng,
I'm here to avenge you!
The silence of Yan Jun was replaced by the pressure of Zhao Jun above. What they seemed to see was a group of "ghosts" who were not afraid of death. As Qiu Ba, Sergeant Zhao also knew in his heart that he could face the arrows so calmly. What kind of elite are they who rise to the challenge!
at last,
After paying a certain amount of casualties in silence,
The distance between the two parties finally narrowed to a level that was acceptable to Chen Yang.
He stretched his bow and set up whistle arrows,
When the whistle arrow is shot,
Accompanied by a loud roar:
"It's just Zhao Jun above!"
The consciousness of this roar fell into the ears of the surrounding Yan soldiers. Translated, it is almost equivalent to:
"It's just a bunch of pigs up there!"
Chen Yang roared again:
"Dayan, Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The previous forbearance and suppression, sitting and watching Pao Ze being shot and falling to the ground indifferently, finally gave way to an instant explosion at this time.
All the Yan troops stood up, stretched their bows and nocked arrows, ignoring the arrows above, and trying their best to hit the enemy with their bows and arrows.
Li Fusheng once said arrogantly to Zheng Fan: Fighting depends on strong soldiers and strong horses!
My soldiers are much better at shooting than you are,
The morale of my soldiers is much stronger than yours,
I have much more experience as a soldier than you do,
I crush you in every aspect,
What are you doing to stop me?
After the fierce exchange of fire, Zhao Jun, who had the advantage of the terrain and was waiting for work, suddenly panicked.
The elite members of the Jingnan Army, even without their horses and wearing heavy armor, can still move at an astonishing speed, and the accuracy of the arrows they shoot while moving is even more frightening.
After the chaos of Zhao Jun above was completely revealed, Fan Li rushed forward alone and swept away a group of antlers-like obstacles. Chen Yang led a group of soldiers, dropped their bows and arrows, and rose up with swords drawn. .
The soldiers and horses below seemed not to have expected that the offensive of the forward army would go so smoothly, and they were able to suppress it with just one charge.
Below, Chen Yang's nephew Chen Yuan immediately ordered the follow-up deployment of troops!
...
Guan Shantong told Xie Yuan and Han Laowu half an hour ago that he could ensure that Sanshan Pass could be defended for a full month!
And before,
He also based on the semaphore,
Inform you two that the Yan people's first round of offensive has begun.
Subsequently,
Another signal came;
Because the flag languages ​​of different countries are not the same, even different soldiers and horses within a country have their own flag language habits;
Therefore,
Han Laowu stood up and took a few steps forward and asked:
"The Yan people's first round of offensive is over, right?"
Guan Shantong, who had already read the semaphore, was stunned and just nodded in numbness and disbelief.
Han Laowu didn't notice Guan Shantong's expression behind him.
Instead he laughed:
"The Yan people were beaten down so quickly. Tsk, tsk, this damn guy was beaten down as soon as he walked up, right?"
Xie Yu'an, who had been sitting there, looked at Guan Shantong's expression.
He opened his mouth and said to Han Laowu standing in front:
"The Yan people captured the first hilltop in the first round of their offensive."
Han Laowu turned around in confusion.
Looking at Guan Shan copper,
He said in disbelief:
"Straight bitch,
The Yan people went up and then they were beaten down? "
