Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1056
Chapter 1066
More than [-] Alan riders charged, like ten thousand horses galloping, the momentum caused was earth-shattering, and the ground trembled with the sound of horses' hooves.However, the origin of the generals of the Anxi Army is very complicated. They are all fierce soldiers selected from millions of Wei troops, and they are definitely not young birds on the battlefield.Although the four thousand riders came violently, it did not affect the mood of the Anxi army officers and soldiers.In the eyes of the generals of the Anxi army, the most elite cavalry in the world are the armored cavalry of the Murong tribe of Xianbei, and the rest are garbage.

Ye Xian placed the last 36 Modao Army heavy armored soldiers under the Anxi Army at the end of the Yanyue Formation. Although Ye Xian's troops did not have cavalry cover at this time, three crossbows were placed at the position of the Central Army. Artillery battalion.A ballista battalion is equipped with [-] ballistas, and three battalions have a total of [-] ballistas.As the Alan cavalry entered the range of the ballista of the Wei army, one hundred and eight ballistas began to speak.

"Fire!" Under the order of the Anxi Army officer, the ballista that was ready to launch during the movement had already been loaded with gunpowder. A 25-jin crossbow shell is actually not much worse than the light howitzers of later generations in terms of power alone.One hundred and eight ballista shells fell into the enemy group and exploded, which made the Alan cavalry rank behind lag behind.Immediately afterwards, several rounds of ballista bombardment followed, and more and more Alan cavalry fell to the front of the formation.Heda forward Alan's cavalry array was also in chaos. In front of the Anxi army's formation, people turned their backs on their backs and hissed.

Ye Xian ordered the Modao army to dispatch.The messenger next to him waved the red triangular command flag again, and the soldiers of the Modao Army who had been sitting on the ground with their subordinates saw the flag of the messenger waving the banner.In order to preserve their physical strength, these soldiers of the Modao Army would not put on heavy armor during normal marches or even preparations for battle, but would only attack with armor at the moment when they were about to charge.

With the help of the auxiliary soldiers, the three thousand soldiers of the Modao Army quickly put on their armor. After putting on the armor, the soldiers of the Modao Army raised their Modao and rushed towards the Alan cavalry who had no formation.

In fact, the cavalry of the Alan army has been abolished at this moment. More than half of the cavalry of the Alan army were wounded by the ballista.However, the soldiers of the Mo Dao Army did not hesitate, but brandished the Mo Dao and slashed at the Alan people.Seeing a group of heavy armored infantry rushing towards these Alans, the surviving Alans became even more panicked.Some Alans wanted to ride their horses to meet the enemy, while others wanted to turn around and run away. As a result, this made the already chaotic Alan cavalry even more chaotic.There were also Alan cavalry who came from the opposite side and rushed towards the Modao army.

In fact, if it is a pure Modao army formation, it is not fatal to the cavalry.Because the impact of war horses is simply not something that humans can beat.But when the Mo Dao Army used it, the crossbow array was indispensable. At this time, the Wei Army and the Anxi Army had no reservations at all, and it was a must-kill strategy to come up.The Alan cavalrymen who reacted were shot and killed by the covering Wei Guo crossbowmen before they could make contact with the soldiers of the Modao Army.At this time, a melodious call sounded: "Cut!"

Hundreds of Mo Dao swung out neatly, and an Alan cavalryman jumped off his horse in fright when he saw Mo Dao slashing at him.However, it was already too late at this time, when Mo Dao fell, the huge horse's head was cut off by Mo Dao, and the horse's blood spurted out. , and continued to slash at him, only to hear the sound of cracking bones, and half of the Alan cavalryman's shoulder fell to the ground.

In just one face-to-face encounter, hundreds of Alan cavalry were beheaded. Regardless of whether they were soldiers or horses, they would all be cut off when they met Mo Dao. This brutal killing method scared the Alan people out of their wits.At this time, they no longer remembered that they should serve the Heda Empire. The surviving Alan cavalry fled in embarrassment. As a powerful tribe in the Western Regions, the Qusi people were not united by the Golden Family at this time, so they did not have a strong will to fight at this time. Seeing that the bravest Alan people rushed fast and retreated faster, they also I don't know what happened in front of me, and I also fled back with the rout.

The Khugs fled, and the rest of the tribe's cavalry followed.This made the soldiers of the Modao Army very unwilling.There is no way, the soldiers of the Modao Army are heavy armored infantry, they can't even catch up with light infantry, let alone light cavalry.

Seeing the victory in the first battle, Ye Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, at this time, no one was under as much pressure as him. As a major general and deputy division commander, Ye Xian had never stood alone, let alone commanding three and a half steps like he is now. The battle of the soldiers is over.The forward's attack was blocked, but it didn't let Wen Nasha, the eastern general of the Heda Empire, start to reorganize his formation, deal with deserters, and improve morale.Seeing that the Wei army's long-range weapons are too powerful, and the Anxi army is all infantry, he adopted the strength of the nomads against the enemy.

Nomads are good at two things, one is horseback riding, and the other is archery.Shi Le, the first slave emperor in history, created the most brilliant record. He besieged and killed more than [-] cavalry of the Jin army with [-] light cavalry. As a result, he shot and killed more than [-] soldiers of the Jin army at the cost of less than [-] casualties. .

In the battle between the Heda Empire and the Gupta Empire, the longbow of the Gupta Empire made the Heda cavalry suffer a lot.Later, the Heda people invented a tactic, that is, relying on excellent riding skills, they suddenly rushed to the front of the Gupta army, and then shot an arrow, and quickly retreated. helpless.However, Wen Nasha was doomed to be disappointed this time. In front of the Anxi Army's crossbow array, the cavalry and archery of the Heda Empire could not take advantage of it at all.

To say that the armor rate is 5.00%, I am afraid that Wei Jun is the only one in this world.Even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, less than [-]% of the Tang army wore armor. Of the [-]% armored soldiers, more than [-]% were leather armor, only about [-]% were iron armor, and less than [-]% were Mingguang armor.But now Wei Guo is rich and powerful, and the output of steel has reached the highest level in history. With the production of casting and cold forging techniques, the cost of Wei Guo's armor is very low.

Not to mention the high rate of wearing armor, the most distinctive feature of Wei's army is its equipment.In the era of cold weapons, spearmen were the most equipped in all dynasties. Half a catty of iron spearheads, coupled with a white wax rod, is all the equipment of a spearman (spear). It is simply the cheapest arms in the world in history. .But the state of Wei is different. Every soldier is equipped with at least three kinds of weapons.Especially crossbow machines and horizontal knives, even the auxiliary soldiers have one knife and one crossbow.Ran Ming, who is rich and powerful, is equipped with a short knife measuring one foot and three inches for self-defense in addition to the Modao army, which only equips the Modao.

It can be said that if the more than [-] soldiers of the Anxi Army set up a formation and shoot a volley at one time, they can shoot at least [-] crossbow arrows.Under the attack of the crossbow with a longer range and more penetrating power, Lulu Wen Nasha's face was so dark that he could squeeze out water.

"Trash, what a bunch of trash!" E Nagui saw the striker's defeat. In just half an hour, his striker's army of more than 800 troops was lost by more than half, especially the Alan cavalry, which was actually less than [-] at the moment. The battle loss rate is as high as four-fifths. "These trash are not good, it seems that we can still rely on our warriors in war."

The battle is still going on. Under the supervision of Wen Nasha, all parts of the Heda Army bravely attacked the Anxi Army's front line, and the Anxi Army also resisted tenaciously.It will be difficult to tell the winner for a while. Unless one side is hit hard, the battle will last for a long time.This point is clear to E Nabu, and so is Ye Xian.

Wen Nasha was a little anxious, but his face was still calm. If he didn't do well in this battle, he, the general of the East, might have made it to the end.Strategy Wen Nasha ordered the headquarters to act as the main force, and there was no need to waste cannon fodder. Instead, he was like a gambler who lost all his money, and everyone was happy when he won. superior.

Although the non-Wei people in the stone city were not starved to death at this time, because of saving food, everyone was starved to the point of starvation, and some even had swollen bodies.At this time, the Anxi army was a mud bodhisattva who could not protect himself when crossing the river, so no one cared about them at all.Many Lite merchants or Kangju people are very grateful to the Heda people, because the Heda people rescued them from the devil.

However, these Lite people and Kangju people did not have time to rejoice. First, they were caught by Heda's army and beaten one by one, and then ordered them to help Heda attack the Dongcheng District where the Wei army was stubbornly resisting.

"General, this stone city can be taken down in the evening at the most!" A general of the Heda army said to Ezhanah Yabu excitedly: "The general has won all the merits, and when the time comes, no one in the Heda Empire will know General?"

Ezhanahe Yabu did not have the humility of the Han people. He showed a deeply approving expression and a look of excitement. The Heda Empire had broken many cities. Breaking the city is actually not a great achievement, but such a tenacious army like Wei Jun Enemy they have never seen.Having said that, the Han defended the city as the second, and no one dared to admit that it was the first.Since ancient times, all those who died in the Han Dynasty were Han people.The Mongolian army is known as the number one in the world in the era of cold weapons, but in Xiangyang City, it has blocked the Mongolian army for 38 years, which definitely explains the problem.Gaisuyeddin failed, and Jersey also failed, precisely because of the heavy losses of the Heda Empire, which showed Ozana Heyab's ability.

Just when Ozhanahe Yabu was about to speed up his attack and take down the Dongcheng District before dark, there was thunder in the east.Those ji da were a little dazed, and they really thought it was thunder.However, the surviving Anxi Army soldiers knew very well that this was not thunder at all, but the sound of ballista shells exploding.

"Our reinforcements are here, our reinforcements are here!"

Tens of thousands of people began to cheer, and the shouts clearly reached the ears of everyone who survived in Dongcheng District.After a brief silence, the battalion of wounded soldiers cheered loudly. They waved their hands in mid-air excitedly, hugged their comrades and cried loudly, and jumped around excitedly.Most of the people were sobbing, and more were crying with joy.

"God opened his eyes, the savior has finally arrived, and the reinforcements have finally arrived!"

"It's all right now, we don't have to die!"

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, anyone who can move will follow me, and we must not let the Xida people rush in!"

Liu Ke, who was preparing to commit suicide, was stunned for ten breaths when he heard the sound from outside. When Liu Ke heard the faint sound of gunpowder explosion, he resolutely put away the horizontal knife that was preparing to commit suicide. Under his command, the army Chinese books, handymen, even cooks, and battlefield ambulancemen were organized, took up weapons and rushed to the line of defense.

"Ye Xian, you are finally here!" Liu Ke was also very excited at this time.No matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with the changes in the war.In the original combat plan formulated by the Anxi General Staff, Liu Ke would lead these soldiers to resist in Stone City for at least four months, and possibly half a year at most.However, no one expected that the Heda people would have the idea of ​​killing people with swords because of the battle for the position of Khan. As a result, the situation deteriorated rapidly and the city wall fell.After the fall, Liu Ke actually did not send anyone to inform Ye Xian to lead his troops, because he knew very well that after the stone city lost the protection of the city wall, it would be considered good if it could last for ten and a half months, and it was impossible to wait a month for reinforcements arrival.But Ye Xian sent troops ahead of schedule like Liu Ke did back then.

Seeing the cheers of the remnants of the Wei State in the city, Ezhanahe Yabu was also puzzled, but after interrogating the Lite businessman who could speak Chinese, Ezhanahe Yabu also lost his position.The thunder outside the city is actually something made by the Han people. Could it be that they will ask the God of Thunder to help out?
Facts make people with a lower level of civilization associate with gods about unknown events. However, he is also very angry with E Nabi at this time, and he does not even tell him such a big thing as the arrival of Wei army reinforcements. In the city, he was made dumplings by Wei Jun, and he couldn't help it.

Such a big movement, the fool also knows that it is not a trick of suspicious soldiers, but he does not know the number of Wei Guo's reinforcements. If the other side Qingqi comes to help, I am afraid that both E Nagu and Lulu Wen Nasha will suffer.At the beginning, they fought against the cavalry of the Wei army, and the Heda army was no match for the cavalry of the Wei army under the same number of circumstances.

On the plain outside the east city of Stone City, Lulu Wen Nasha started desperately.At this time, the fight became smoother and smoother, and the more confident Ye Xian snorted coldly, he waved the flag and ordered the ballista to move forward.

In fact, the trebuchets in ancient China were only fixedly pressed and released, and had no field combat capabilities.But after Ran Ming came, he moved Wei Guo's trebuchet to the vehicle.However, as the use of ballista technology became more and more sophisticated, trebuchets gradually withdrew from the battle order of Wei's armed equipment.Even in a small and remote town in the Wei state, such equipment as trebuchets was no longer visible at this time.And there are more and more ballistas.It is estimated that after Wei's artillery technology matures, the ballista will also be out of the battle order.After all, ballista is still a cold weapon category, and artillery is the direction of future technological development.

In the face of technology, bravery has become a thing of the past.With a range of more than 600 steps, this has become an insurmountable death zone for the Heda cavalry.In particular, the Baoxu crossbow that followed the marching sequence also followed. In this way, the three musketeers of the ballista, rockets, and Baoxu crossbow, the long-range attack weapon of Wei State, have all arrived. For the distance of more than 600 steps, we must take enough Human life to fill.And the ballista actually has an advantage over the artillery. The artillery is hot-fired and needs time to cool the barrel, while the cold-fired ballista does not have this problem.

The skilled ballista shooters of the Anxi Army quickly loaded the ballista shells, while the rocket launchers were much simpler. They only needed to adjust the firing angle, and then ignite the fire, and the nine-packed rockets would fly to the enemy's formation.After paying the loss of 5000 people, at this time, there are only ten thousand cavalry left under Wen Nasha's command plus miscellaneous cards.Of course, this does not mean that the Heda people killed more than 2 horses, and thousands of wounded soldiers and horses were waiting to die in front of the battlefield.

Gulu Wen Nasha saw that a frontal attack would not gain any advantage at all, so he began to detour to Wei Guoyanyue's left wing.He had already seen that the Wei army had concentrated all the crossbows in the middle, while the left and right wings did not have such terrifying weapons.Amid the sound of horns, the vanguard cavalry led by Wen Nasha attacked the left wing of the Wei State. At this time, E Nagu actually moved, and he ordered [-] Khan guards to attack the Wei State's Yanyue formation. right wing.At the same time, more than [-] cavalry began to detour in a large area, waiting for an opportunity to attack the back of the Wei army.

Ye Xian, who was standing on the watchtower cart, could use the binoculars to see the movement of soldiers and horses within a range of tens of miles without any need for scouts to report.Under Ye Xian's order, Wei's left and right wings and the rear battalion began to prepare for battle.

In fact, the layout of the Anxi army is not divided into front and back, with three full-armed infantry, one on the left and one on the back, showing the reverse layout.If you want to talk about emptiness, only the position of the Chinese army is the most empty. Ye Xian only placed three ballista battalions, one hundred and eight ballista battalions, three eight-ox ballista battalions, three rocket launcher battalions, and three thousand Momo. knife army.On the number of barely more than 5000.And the left, right, and rear each have [-] troops.

Li Shen's 44th Infantry Division was the first to face the Heda Empire's forward Lu Nasha.The 44th Infantry Division was reorganized from the Anbei Army and Zhenxi elites.Li Shen was the former general of Li Wei. After Li Wei's defeat, he surrendered to Wei State and served under the command of Hu Kui, the original chariot and cavalry general of Wei State.Later, Ran Ming founded the Lecture Hall, but Li Shen quit his job and went to school, becoming one of Ran Ming's students.Then under the command of General Anbei, he became a school lieutenant who stood alone in the first army.After the reorganization of the Anbei Army, Li Shen was awarded the new rank of colonel for his meritorious service, and became the head of the 44nd Regiment of the [-]th Division.

Li Shen, like Ye Xian, suddenly mentioned the high position of temporary control of the army, as the commander of Quan.

Li Shen put the 44st, [-]nd Regiment of the [-]th Division at the forefront.More than [-] crossbows fired three times in a row, which immediately resisted the cavalry of Wen Nasha.In particular, more than [-] spearmen were placed at the front like hedgehogs, and then the crossbowmen protected by sword and shield soldiers.At this time, Wen Nasha was in a hurry. Facing a large formation of spears, Qingqi charging into the formation was actually courting death.However, unlike other armies, Wei's army has a low rate of armor, and they can shoot and kill the enemy by riding and shooting.
