Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 217 Are you a target?
The equipment of the Beifu cavalry is very simple, an individual folding shield that can be tied to the right arm.During the march, the folding shield was folded in half left and right, so that the shield was only a small shield one foot eight inches long and one foot eight inches wide.Once facing the enemy, the shield is opened to form an individual shield one foot eight inches wide and three feet four inches long.Although it is not enough to protect the crossbow arrows and the whole body, it is enough to protect the cavalry horn bow shooting.

Secondly, all the cavalry are equipped with a pair of two-handled spears or spears. The spears are one foot eight feet in length, and a one-foot iron chain is installed at the end, and then the handle of the spears is fixed with the saddle of the horse.Once the whole army charged, it was only necessary for the cavalry to put their spears on their ribs, and then form a dense formation. Between the cavalry and the cavalry, their legs touched each other, like a wall advancing.

After leaving Sui County, Gao Jingzong still rode in that white car, wearing an unusually stylish white robe, and if he held a feather fan, he would be the reborn boy Kong Ming.

The cavalry of the Beifu Army has not been advancing fast, and they are saving horsepower at a slow pace.

To the northeast of Sui County is a flat plain, which is very suitable for riding and fighting.When Gao Jingzong's troops were only [-] or [-] miles out of the city, they encountered Yan Army cavalry scouts. Dozens of Yan Army scouts found a large number of Beifu Army cavalry, and immediately divided into two groups. More than a dozen cavalry continued to monitor the movements of Gao Jingzong and others. , a dozen or so riders turned around and went back to report the news.

Liu Yunfei commanded the cavalry of the Beifu Army to hunt and kill, and suddenly heard the sound of drums from the Chinese Army.The order conveyed by the war drum made Liu Yunfei very puzzled.

Liu Yunfei was very puzzled, he rode his horse back to the central army, arrived in front of Gao Jingzong and asked, "Why did the governor want to stop the last general from hunting and killing the cavalry of the Yan army?"

Gao Jingzong didn't care about the strong smell of gunpowder in Liu Yunfei's tone, but said with a faint smile: "This place is still [-] or [-] miles away from Meng County. We have wasted a lot of horsepower all the way. When they come, we can just talk about it." draw!"

Liu Yunfei suddenly realized.It is impossible for more than four thousand riders to attack in broad daylight, and even at night, it is impossible.Because Xianbei people are all experts in raising horses, they can hear how many people there are from the sound of horses' hooves ten miles away.Similar to Zhang Fei's ploy in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to use a horse's tail to pull a tree branch to raise dust and smoke, only people who have never been on the battlefield can think of it with a big brain. In fact, although dust and smoke can deceive people's eyes, the sound of horseshoes and The sound of footsteps can clearly tell the enemy this information, unless the enemy is a piece of trash who doesn't understand anything.

Gao Jingzong ordered the Yan army scouts to leave precisely because he knew that it was impossible to surprise the Yan army.Instead of letting the Yan army's cavalry wait for work, it is better to let the Beifu army save some horsepower.

Immediately, Gao Jingzong ordered the whole army to dismount and rest, feed the horses with fodder and drink water, and the soldiers eat some dry food and drink water.Relax and relax the tense mood.

Not to mention, at this time, they have already learned that they will have a field battle with the cavalry of the Yan army. It would be strange for these cavalry soldiers of the Beifu army to say that they are not nervous.The rise of the Yan Kingdom of Xianbei was achieved all the way.They first attacked Goguryeo, then destroyed Fuyu, then Jie Zhao and Ran Wei, and eliminated powerful enemies one after another.At least at this time, Di Qin Fu Jian did not have the confidence to face the Xianbei Yan army head-on.Therefore, Fu Jian would rather spend his energy on stumbling with Yan's envoys and playing tricks than fighting against Yan's cavalry.

……

The defenders of the Beifu on the city wall of Meng County are still stubborn resisters. There are 160 defenders on the city wall, equipped with [-] foot crossbows, [-] waist crossbows (one stone pull force.) and [-] strong bows and [-] light bows .Less than [-] crossbowmen shot high into the sky from four completely different angles, and followed the feather arrows to fall, like a rainstorm!
With the rapid expansion of the army in Beifu, the bows and crossbows are far behind the equipment.According to Gao Jingzong's vision, the Beifu army's equipment crossbow ratio should not be lower than 40.00%. For example, the [-] troops in Meng County should be equipped with at least [-] crossbowmen, but in fact it is less than two-thirds of the standard preparation.

However, the generals of the Beifu army adopted a relay method to maintain the fastest shooting speed of Jianyu.The first is to step on the crossbow with two soldiers to assist a shooter. One person is lying on the city wall and just uses his foot to open the crossbow.As long as three or four rounds are shot, the two soldiers will exchange to maintain sufficient physical strength.This is the method used by the soldiers of the Beifu Army to keep the rain of arrows strong and weak, but not stop!
The rain of arrows nailed the ground, nailing the Xianbei soldiers!The momentum of galloping horses is one of the curbs!
Although Murong De's expression remained the same as before, there was no fluctuation, but in fact he no longer had any contempt for the Beifu Army.In Murongde's view, the Beifu army's ability to command the overall situation is quite poor. It took only two hours to attack Mengcheng, and the Yan army had already climbed the city wall three times.However, the soldiers of the Beifu army used their flesh and blood to forcefully squeeze the Xianbei soldiers who had climbed on the city wall off the city wall.Within two hours, the Yan army launched five thousand-man team-scale attacks. Although they all failed, they climbed the city wall three times.

Murong De felt that he should be lucky enough to climb the city wall of Mengcheng and break into it within today.However, Murong De did not relax at all, on the contrary, he was worried.Since Murong De entered the customs, he has only fought one battle, that is, he fought against Ran Min once in the Battle of Liantai.But Murong De accidentally lost Jingzhou, if Murong Chui hadn't rescued him, he would have become Ran Min's ghost.From these tenacious soldiers of the Beifu army, he could vaguely see the shadow of Ran Wei's army back then.

Murong De saw that Zhuge Xiang's troops who were besieging the city retreated again, and shouted: "Order Murong Yong, if you dare to retreat without authorization, you will definitely be executed!"

Murong Yong is Murong Hao's cousin, and he and Murong De are cousins.The grandson of Xiping Gong Murongyun (one said he was the son) of Murongxin, the younger brother of Emperor Xuandi of Yanwu.Murong Yong's body was covered in blood, a sheep's head arrow was stuck in his shoulder, and the arrow went deep into the shoulder bone.But Murong Yong seemed to have lost his sense of pain.Yang Dao tried his best to roar: "Attack!"

Another is that a thousand-man team replaced the siege thousands who had just retreated. Thousands of Xianbei soldiers shouted in Xianbei: "Kill all the Han dogs!"

During this attack, the rain of arrows on the city wall suddenly weakened a lot. I don't know whether it was because the arrows were exhausted or the soldiers were exhausted.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Wen said happily, "General Six, your tactics seem to be working."

Murong De snorted, dissatisfied with the ending.It is a negative advantage to use up the physical strength and arrows of the defenders in the way of wheel battles. Only by relying on tenacity and enough time can they have a chance to defeat the Beifu army. Such a victory is a must. Based on the huge casualties established.

There is no way, without breaking through Dingtao, Murongde must leave a retreat for himself.Otherwise, once the battle situation is repeated, he may repeat the mistakes of Murong Chui.If Murong Chui had fought steadily and left enough strength in Sui County and Xiayi (Jia Xiayi), he would not have wiped out his entire army in one battle.

At this time, a group of cavalry came galloping from the south.

"Report-"

The scout cavalry got off their horses, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to Your Highness Sixth, Beifu army reinforcements are here!"

Murong De asked: "How many people are here?"

The scout said: "Four thousand cavalry, just a lot."

Murong De said again: "Who is in charge of the army?"

The scout said: "There are two generals in command, one is Jiang and the other is Liu!"

Murong De said suspiciously: "An army can only have one chief general. There are eight generals in the Beifu army. There are no generals. They should be only deputy generals. There is only one general named Liu."

Duguwen lost his voice and said, "Purple-faced killer Liu Laozhi!"

"Hmph!" Murong De said, "It should be him!"

Murong De said: "Dugu Wen."

"The last general is here!" Dugu Wen clasped his fists and said, "This general ordered you to take over the post of commander-in-chief temporarily and be responsible for commanding the siege operations. The siege battle must not be delayed for a moment."

Dugu Wen said: "Obey!"

Murong De smiled and said: "The Beifu Army doesn't have many cavalry, more than [-] cavalry, it must be the entire property of Gao Jingzong's son, this also shows that Meng County is about to be unable to support it. The king wants to see, Gao Jingzong's son What cards are there!"

Murong De did not underestimate the cavalry of the Beifu army, at least he was not arrogant enough to lead a thousand cavalry to fight against the more than 1 cavalry of the Beifu army.Instead, I ordered more than [-] rides very carefully.

Twenty or thirty miles would take two hours for infantry, and it would take one hour at the fastest.However, for cavalry, such a distance is only a quarter of an hour.

Murong De also saved his horsepower and controlled his horse to jog in small steps. When he arrived at the Majia River, he saw the cavalry of the Beifu Army resting leisurely on the opposite bank.

Seeing this scene, Murong De became puzzled.He rushed to the lieutenant beside him and said: "Lead 3000 troops to charge, I will be your backup!"

The Zhangba spear in the deputy general's hand pointed forward, and more than [-] riders rode their horses and raised their whips, and rushed to the opposite bank.

The Majia River is called a river, but it is just a small ditch about [-] steps wide, and in the dry season, war horses don't need to build a bridge at all, they can just ride across it.

Gao Jingzong saw the cavalry of the Yan army launching an attack, and said in a leisurely manner, "Attack!"

Jiang Fang said anxiously: "Captain, you have to think carefully. Although the Xianbei cavalry is not as good as our army, but their [-] cavalry are enough to easily defeat ten times the enemy, so don't take it lightly!"

Liu Yunfei also said: "That's right, Commander, we have no chance of winning if we go head-to-head with Bai Lu!"

Gao Jingzong glanced at the two generals who were most proficient in cavalry in the Beifu Army, and shouted: "Two generals, stand back and watch the battle. The whole army obeys the order and follows the governor!"

As the drums sounded rhythmically, the four thousand cavalry of the Beifu Army formed a row of five hundred cavalry, and the whole army formed eight rows.A cavalry formation of more than [-] meters was formed, with a distance of five meters between the front and rear rows.

Gao Jingzong roared: "Attack!"

Liu Yunfei said: "General Jiang, what should we do?"

Jiang Fang shouted: "What can I do, people are dead and birds are in the sky!"

Lieutenant General Yan, holding a Zhangba spear like an iron tower, shouted excitedly: "Kill all the Han dogs!"

Murong De, who was watching from behind, was also stunned: "What is the head of the purple-faced killer Liu Laozhi thinking? They are arranged in such a dense formation that they can be shot even with their eyes closed. Is this intended to be a target for us? "
