sweeping the world

Chapter 230 Should You Be Proud Or Depressed?
Among the incomparable forces forming separatist regimes within Shijie Zhao State, not to mention the small ones, the biggest ones are the Qiang and Di groups of Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong.

The Shijie State of Zhao could tolerate the undisclosed separation of the Qiang and Di tribes, but looking at where Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong were, the elite tribes of the two tribes were also forced to settle near Xiangguo.

As for those small tribes, or even some medium-sized forces, who do not obey the orders of Xiangguo Central Committee, just don't obey. Just hide in the corner quietly and draw circles or be a quiet handsome man. If you dare to jump, you will definitely jump. When one is raised, one is destroyed.

The army that went to destroy those forces that danced happily would not be Shijie Zhao's own troops. Generally, there would be several steps. The first wave was to order the powerful local troops to obey their orders. When it comes to the second wave of county and county soldiers, if the county and county soldiers are still unable to wipe out, it is the turn of the beggar army, a servant army specially used to suppress them. If the servant army still fails, call Ran Min.

Under normal circumstances, when it is Ran Min's turn to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, the critical point is reached, and then the two accomplice races of the Jie people, the Qiang and Di people, should be ready to fight, but Ran Min has been doing the job of suppressing the rebellion Well done, it was rare for Shihu to release Qiang or Di troops with a wave of his hand.

Logically speaking, the extermination of the Han tribe should also go through the above steps, but the movement caused by Liu Yan is really a bit big, and then Liu Yan fought all the way out to face the local family, killed the county guard, and faced the children of the big family In the joint campaign with the governor of the state, all necessary steps have been gone through.

All the way to "kill monsters and upgrade", it is indeed the turn of a higher level of treatment, but Ran Min didn't come, and the one who came was at the level of General Sizheng, and the treatment was more than doubled.

"The enemy army came out of Fenggao, at..." Ji Chang pointed at the map, which marked a mountainous area, about [-] miles east of Fenggao: "The scouts reported that the enemy army camped inside and outside the valley, and the main general had already been mobilized." But it was Deng Heng who came in person."

Xu Zheng kept nodding and said: "We must have been spied on because we have more cavalry than infantry. That's why the enemy general will build a camp in the mountains."

Xu Zheng and Ji Chang were cautious about Deng Heng bringing only a small number of troops to the front.

Again, the army is either large in numbers or powerful. If Deng Heng came over with hundreds of thousands of people, Xu Zheng and Ji Chang would not be so cautious. On the contrary, Deng Heng only showed attention with his soldiers.

When the two armies are at war, although they are proud to be valued by the other side, it also represents countless troubles. Don't even think about using tricks, even the use of battlefield tactics will increase the difficulty by countless times.

"Let's go out tomorrow." Ji Chang thought for a while, looked at the map for a long time, and added: "Since they don't want to come out, they should be blocked."

Xu Zheng was in charge of the frontal battlefield command, and the rest was originally the job of Marching Commander Shi.He has some things but he has to ask: "If you want to block the mountain road, do you need to ask your majesty for more troops?"

Xu Zheng still understood the simple truth. To block the mountain road, he must make a detour from other directions, such as detouring to attack the enemy's rear. In this way, the strength of their troops will be stretched.

"We need more infantry." Ji Chang nodded, "Perhaps... what the enemy general wants is mountain warfare."

What the hell, the Han Dynasty is definitely a force full of Chinese civilization characteristics, and the Shijie Zhao State is an out-and-out Hu regime, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is adjusted to a different position, and the Hu people's troops want to fight on foot .

One side sticks to the main road and does not leave the mountain, and it becomes impossible to conduct a large-scale contact war immediately. It is obviously time-consuming, so the other side must change its tactics.

The next day, the army of the Han Dynasty pulled out of the camp, maintaining a relatively strict formation along the way, and the army passed by dust and smoke.

Deng Heng specially led his soldiers to climb the mountain to look far away. Although some places were blocked by the terrain, he could still see a large piece of dust rising from the horizon, and a black line moved forward steadily.

"Is the enemy marching fast?" Deng Heng said with a light smile, "It seems that the news of having thousands of cavalry is true."

Look, this is a veteran with rich experience. He can always see more clues from some subtle things, and then he can roughly know the structure of the enemy army after deliberation.

If there is no general who actually leads troops to fight, he will wonder how a large cavalry army can't march fast. It is taken for granted that cavalry should be a unit that marches by leaps and bounds, but forget that horses are far more difficult to serve than people.Furthermore, if it is said that war horses are difficult to serve, the iron cavalry war horses are the first. In many cases, taking care of a war horse in armored riding gear is really more attentive and careful than serving Lao Tzu.

Just staring at it like that, until he got close, Deng Heng was taken aback when he saw the big "fei" sign on the pole, and then he laughed dumbly and said: "Liu Yan is still too petty, and his courage is also a little smaller."

Does this era have the idea of ​​"building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly"?Maybe there is, but it is more of a "hustle and bustle", that is, a little strength should be ostentatious or even infinitely exaggerated.

Different eras have different mainstreams. For example, after Shi Le defeated the Xiongnu Zhao, he immediately advertised that he had hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Jie tribe had millions of people.The reality is that Shi Le had only 30 to [-] soldiers capable of fighting at that time, and the Jie tribe would not exceed [-].

Exaggeration is to attract more people to join with a strong momentum.Facts have proved that the Jie tribe succeeded. They became the overlord of the Central Plains with less than 30 people, and then ruled with a brutality that was even worse than wild animals. (The cruelty of the Jie people in the early stage is for deterrence, and the whole family is wiped out because of the cruelty later)
Cui Xuan came, and he came with a batch of grain.

"Really? More than a thousand vegetables?" Deng Heng frowned, and finally chose not to continue this topic. He pointed to the Han army that was still approaching: "The general has sent cavalry, and you watch together."

Vegetable people are not a special breed, it has a name called "two-legged sheep", which is specially provided to the Jie people to "improve food".

It's not nonsense, it seems that Jie people cannibalism has become a habit, and they may not be so particular about it in normal times, but they must bring vegetables when they go out.

Cui Xuan didn't seem to notice that Deng Heng had deliberately changed the subject, nagging: "We are already preparing the pots. After the water boils, we will throw the dishes in. The Han army will definitely be scared to death. Army leader..."

"Go down the mountain if you don't look at it." Deng Heng restrained his temper and asked again: "Who asked you to prepare the pot?"

Cui Xuan finally came to his senses, frowned and said, "It's Shi Ping." Then he added, "Isn't this normal?"

Deng Heng was silent.When he gets old, he begins to pursue fame after death. Some things that he didn't care about before become very important when he gets old, such as how to treat the Miao people of the same race in this life.

The Zhao army in Shijie indeed had some troops out. It was about [-] cavalry, a small number of Jie people, and the rest were composed of Qiang and Di people.They were one on two horses, and after attacking, they approached the approaching Han army straight and slowly.

According to Deng Heng, the Han army in the distance did not stop advancing, but a group was separated from the main army. Judging from the surface area occupied, there should be more than a thousand cavalry of the same size?
"Let's fight with the same number of cavalry!" Ji Chang grinned grimly: "Since you attach importance to the general, let him pay more attention!"

Xu Zheng nodded fiercely, and there was more eager anticipation in his eyes, not for anything else, but for them to play bigger after a while.

There are not as many as one thousand, but only eight hundred, but it is the Tiger Army that attacks.

Leading the army was Li Tan, who was wearing bright light armor and holding a horse lance, with a riding bow, quiver and a saber hanging on both sides of the horse's neck.

The rest of the knights who followed in battle were dressed in the same attire as Li Tan, but the guy in their hands was not a lance, but a brittle wooden lance. Apart from the bow and quiver, what hung on the side of the horse's neck was a The handle of the Zansa sword has been extended, and the difference is only the difference on some willow bundles (ribbons) of the armor.

The length of the handle of the Zhanma Dao is about 1.2 centimeters, the length of the blade is [-] meters, the back of the knife is thick, and the blade is slightly curved.It must be said that although it was conceived and manufactured by Liu Yan, the Zhanma Dao was produced as early as the Han Dynasty.

"Hanshu" contains: Wang Mang sent Wu to defeat Dong Zhong by beheading horses.

"Hanshu. Zhu Yunzhuan" also contains: The minister is willing to give Shang Fang a horse, cut off the head of one of the ministers, and punish the rest.I asked who was deflated against Ri'an Changhou Zhang Yu.

In addition, Zhanma Dao is also divided into cavalry fighting type and foot fighting type, which are clearly distinguished in the length of the handle.

Because they both had the idea of ​​charging at the beginning, the two cavalry did not choose to twist and turn, but rushed straight to each other.

When the distance was about eighty steps, Li Tan put his horse across the saddle, and with a loud roar, he drew his bow and arrow and shot.Behind him, the eight hundred tiger and cardinal knights were also pulling their bows and shooting arrows. After shooting three waves in a hurry, they let go of the bows and let them hang, and replaced them with melee weapons.

When the Huben Army shot the first round of arrows, the Zhao Jun cavalrymen on the opposite side were actually preparing to shoot on horseback. They waited for the Huben Army's first round to shoot and then shot the second round before they shot the first round.

Almost in tandem, arrows fell on both sides of the camp. The Shijie and Zhao army had been evading before. What's terrible was that the Han army shot in the direction of their scale in the second round. The result was a shower of arrows. When the rain fell, it was definitely too late to dodge again. The moment the arrows fell, nearly a hundred people fell off their horses.

"Their shafts are lengthened!"

If you look closely, the arrows of the Huben Army really have elongated shafts. Only by understanding what the lengthened shafts of arrows mean will you know how terrifying this is.Taking a closer look, the arrowheads of the Huben Army are all triangular. This kind of arrow has a special name called armor-piercing arrows.

The arrows landed on the side of the Huben army, and a piece of arrowheads collided with leather or metal. Waiting for some arrowheads to destroy the cloth covers on the horses, Shijie Zhao Jun saw that the horses of the Han army were actually leather armor, and they all stared round. eyes...
