Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 148 Kill the King
At this time, the camp of the Yan State Central Army fell into a strange silence, except for the occasional neighing and sneezing of war horses, there was no sound at all.Looking at the dead army in black armor and the handsome flag with the word "Gao" in white characters on a black background, Murong Chui felt a little familiar.

Seven years ago, in Liantai.It is also such an army in black and black armor, with less than 14 people, resolutely launched time and time again fearless charges against the Yan army with [-] cavalry.

Wearing black armor, the Wei army, under the leadership of Ran Min, the lord of Wei, won ten battles and ten victories. When the situation was the most dangerous, even his fourth brother Murong Ke, who was the commander of the army, almost died in battle. Murong Ke blocked his fatal blow, maybe the Yan army would be defeated at that time.

Murong Chui looked nervously at this same black armored army, and immediately ordered: "King Guiyi, Zuo Sima Zhaishu!"

Zhai Shu is the leader of the Ding Ling tribe, Ding Ling, there are many records in Chinese historical documents, namely Ding Ling, Ding Ling, and Ding Ling.Also known as Gaoche, Dili, Tiele.During the Three Kingdoms period, part of Dingling was still nomadic in the south of Lake Baikal today, called Bei Dingling; part of it migrated to the Altai Mountains and Tacheng area in Xinjiang, and is adjacent to Wusun and Cheshi in the south, and Kangju in the southwest, called Xidingling.

In May of the sixth year of Yuanxi (357), Jun sent generals Murongchui and Murongqian with 13 horsemen to attack the Chile (that is, Ding Ling) tribe in Saibei, and defeated them. Ten thousand horses, the number of cattle and sheep is even greater.Zhai Shu led [-] Dingling to surrender to Yan.

Zhai Shu has a high nose and deep eyes, a curly head, a long and thin face, and a beard. Under the iron helmet that covers his forehead, he reveals a curved aquiline nose—there is no doubt that he is an ancient Caucasian in Tongsi.Zhai Shu said loudly: "You are humble!"

"You will take over from the forward commander's department to attack!"

"As ordered!"

Even though Murong Chui didn't like Murong Jiang anymore, he didn't dare to let the soldiers of Murong Department under his command head-on to the defense line of the Death Army.However, as Ding Ling surrendered to Zhai Shu, he didn't have any burden in his heart.

From the moment he surrendered to Yan, Zhai Shu had the consciousness of being cannon fodder.Now he had no choice but to shoot, he slapped the horse's whip on the horse's buttocks, the horse suffered from pain, and the speed became even faster!Before Zhai Shu could run back to the headquarters, Murong Chui ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

At this time, Murong Chui had already seen that the defense line of the dead army was actually a huge meat grinder, unless it was filled with human lives, it would not be able to chew through it.Of course, Murong Chui can also surround without fighting.However, at this time, the soldiers and horses under the command of the Southern Commander-in-Chief were not his own troops, just like a Han proverb: "It doesn't hurt to sell your father's land."

"Dangdang..." sounded the golden sound, and Murong Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.Fighting for a quarter of an hour, killing thousands of moves, made him realize clearly that with his 5000 troops alone, he couldn't chew through the defense line of the dead army. If he continued to fight, he would only benefit others.Murong Jiang quickly turned his horse's head and ran away.

Most of the dead army is infantry, and there is no way to pursue them. However, it does not mean that the soldiers of the dead army will not pursue them.Seeing this situation, Tian Luo immediately said to the drummer beside him: "Issuing an order, let the soldiers go up to harvest the heads and snatch back the horse carcasses. Let's have an extra meal tonight and eat horse meat!"

The drummer takes orders! "Dozens of cowhide drums suddenly rang out. People who have never been in the army can't understand the meaning of the drums. Everyone may know that they will advance when they hear the drums, but the elite soldiers know that, This kind of drumming contains various meanings, how to enter, how many troops to go out, and which formation to use?
There were two or three thousand dead soldiers with sabers and shields in the dark, stepping directly on the corpses of Xianbei cavalry officers or horses, crossing the trench, and erecting shields in front of the first trench. At this time, the shields were modified by Gao Jingzong. They are all equipped with support columns, and it is difficult to knock down the shield relying on the impact of the horse alone.

Other soldiers of the dead army quickly stepped forward and chopped off the heads of the Xianbei cavalrymen, while the knives and axemen dismembered the horse corpses into eight pieces. Go up and transport them back to the rear camp.The battle captured a lot, thousands of horses died, and only meat was enough for them to open their stomachs until they vomited.

However, not long after, Zhai Shu gathered his troops and began to charge.Although Zhai Shu has [-] troops, he has less than [-] cavalry.The four thousand cavalry were almost all the men in Nanding Zero Headquarters.China's thousands of years of war with the nomads, to put it bluntly, is a war for the survival of the environment, poor mountains and rivers out of unruly people, the grassland outside the Great Wall, that's how it is, where it is cold, encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, they will go south to rob the Han people of food and property!They live by the lakeside of Beihai Lake in Saibei, where the climate is harsh and the environment is extremely poor. In order to obtain more living materials, they have to go south to snatch it!
It's a pity that when they went south, they encountered the country of Yan, which was expanding aggressively. In a rage, Murong Jun sent [-] troops to beat Ding Ling's various ministries to pieces. , all the men were killed, and the women were also killed after they were raped.The Ding Lingren were terrified by the perverted massacre of the Xianbei Murong tribe, and surrendered hastily.

Except for the Xianbei people, the Dingling people are not afraid of anyone.Dingling people have never fought a serious battle since they took refuge in Yan State under the leadership of Zhai Shu. They dealt with unarmed Han people.They have no doubt that they will win easily - just like the massacre of the Han people in the past.

Four thousand cavalry and more than twelve thousand horseshoes were full of bloodthirsty killing intent like their commander Zhai Shu.

"150 steps!"

The dead army did not respond and continued to harvest heads and horse meat. These dead troops continued the tradition of the dead army sweeping the battlefield with iron brooms.Not only the heads of the Xianbei soldiers were chopped off, but every corpse was stripped naked, not only the armor, but not even a trace of cloth left.

After this scene was seen by the soldiers of the Yan army, the Xianbei soldiers were so angry that they shouted and cursed. However, few of the soldiers of the dead army could understand Xianbei, and they were happy to travel between the various trenches.

"Eighty Steps"

The army of the dead is still unresponsive!

Zhai Shu roared, "Go up, go up! Warriors, use your sabers and let the Han dogs tremble under your feet!"

fifty steps...

At this moment, the war drum of "Dong Dong" suddenly sounded, and more than [-] crossbowmen secretly gathered together in four folds, and stood up neatly to shoot arrows.More than [-] crossbow bolts were densely packed like locusts passing through the territory. At this moment, Zhaishu's Dingling cavalry began to protect the vital points with cowhide shields, and at the same time put the spears in their hands flat, screaming from their throats.This cavalry attack method is very powerful, especially this kind of flat spear, it is simply irresistible.
