sweeping the world

Chapter 257 What a fool!

If you want to say what kind of war Liu Yan likes to fight, there is no doubt that he likes wars of attrition.As long as you give him a good foothold and enough resources, the number of soldiers is endless!

On the battlefield of Kaiyang City, the non-systematic troops of the Han army stopped their large-scale offensive and turned to support, while the systemic troops attacked overnight.

After systematic upgrades, swordsmen wearing armor and carrying shields have become great swordsmen, the kind of heavy infantry who wear heavy armor and hold broadswords in their hands; Pikemen in leather armor holding spears; archers turned into crossbowmen holding strong crossbows.

You can see such a scene, usually the big swordsmen and pikemen advance forward, and the crossbowmen follow closely behind for long-range support.

The Great Swordsman really looks like a military unit in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Mo Swordsman.But Liu Yan knew very well that it was just a similarity. Mo Daoshou's weapon was actually a long, three-pointed, two-edged sword, not a broad sword.In addition, tests have shown that the great swordsman can block the charge of the light cavalry to a certain extent. The problem is that the great swordsman can only withstand it, but cannot advance like a wall and block both men and horses to pieces.

"The seventh line of defense?" Doua was having a meal. He looked at the fighting in the distance and frowned and said, "How many lines of defense have the defenders established?"

What the hell!The main fortification of a city is not the city wall, but the abandoned buildings, earth walls, fences, and maybe sundries in the city every two hundred steps or so, in short, it is to create a line of defense.

It may be that the Hu people are not good at skills, and they are not good at layout?Maybe it was intentional by the Hu people?Kaiyang City's defense line is not that straight, because the curve of the defense line is different according to the actual environment, which makes the already complicated terrain even more complicated.

"Hu people have become smarter." Li Kuang was also eating, and he would definitely be treated better than Dou Ah.He swallowed the soup in his mouth, and said: "They can't set up a battle formation, and it is difficult for them to form a collective cooperation like we use a battle formation. Setting up such a battlefield does not require rigorous formation coordination, only hard work."

Dou Ah expressed admiration: "Why didn't I think of that?"

Shit!Although Dou'a is now a military lord, Li Kuang is still a captain.As a subordinate, Dou Ah felt that he had to pat the horse.

Of course Li Kuang knew that Dou'a had understood it a long time ago, and he was laughing and cursing, but in his heart, why didn't he enjoy the subtle obedience from his subordinates?

"The attack has entered!" Dou'a shouted first, but then he was a little dejected: "It's the turn of Si Hongzhuang's song!"

The system troops renamed from the tribal armed forces to the Imperial Guards did attack again, and it was not the first time they attacked the seventh line of defense.Every time they break through a gap, the rest of the troops will pour in through the gap, and they don't need to advance so loudly, just occupy and consolidate the position, and there will be crossbowmen and archers behind them to attack the defenders on the next line of defense. hit.

Now the Han army's offensive against the defenders of Kaiyang City is quite simple.This tactic is very useful against the defenders who are constantly resisting, and can be stripped layer by layer with fewer casualties until they reach the core of the enemy.

In fact, there is a more aggressive method of fixed-point breakthrough, which is to directly attack the core after forming a breakthrough. The problem is that the defenders of Kaiyang City have set up defense lines in every section, so there is no one-time fixed-point breakthrough to directly attack and kill. Break through a point, the front is another point.This kind of defense method is very rogue, and it is not strong in combat effectiveness. However, the defenders who have the advantage of strength and space have no better way to deploy defense than this.

"Who is that guy?" Dou'a pointed to Huan Wen and said in surprise: "He seems to be wearing the uniform of the Xiao~chaoting, right?"

The battle robes of the Jin army are plain white, but the armor system of the Chinese civilization is still used in the armor, and the style has not changed much from the Cao Wei period.However, the armor still depends on one's financial resources. Some flamboyant guys will specially inlay some things on the armor, or engrave gorgeous patterns on it, but a real warrior will not do those things that are not only useless but also kill himself. The pattern and the inlaid stuff, after all, the more bumps and bumps, the more stress points.

It was Huan Wen, and of course Yuan Qiao also entered the battlefield, protected (surveilled) by a team of 50 Han soldiers.

Today is the third day that the Kaiyang battlefield has entered a state of war. Liu Yan has led the troops to leave, leaving behind about [-] infantry in charge of continuing to attack Kaiyang City.

Huan Wen has no intention of leaving at the moment. In fact, he can't leave even if he wants to, so he might as well observe what the Han army is like.It was only after two days of insistence that he was allowed to enter the battlefield.

The surrounding areas of Kaiyang City have been smashed to pieces long ago, and traces of battles can be seen everywhere. The remains of those who died in the Anti-Japanese War were naturally cleaned up, but there is no shortage of bloodstains on the ground of the battlefield and some ruined walls.The blood stains on the outer battlefield have turned black, which is a manifestation of blood coagulation after a long time.As it got closer to the inner battlefield, the color of the remaining blood became redder, and the smell of blood in the air must have become stronger, and there was also an unbearable stench.

"The Han army is very strong." Huan Wen's face was very tense. He just watched the whole process of the Han army's assault: "They have heavy infantry and even large-scale crossbowmen!"

The scene of the great swordsmen waving their broadswords in a scattered line is exaggerated. When the thick and large broadswords are swung, those who stand in front will definitely be split in half, which is the frequency of the great swordsmen swinging their broadswords It seems a bit slow, and the speed of advancement is not much faster.But no matter whether it is Huan Wen or Yuan Qiao, they subconsciously compared the heavy infantry of the Jin army with the heavy infantry of the Han army, and found that the Han army definitely far surpassed them in terms of equipment and combat will, especially the combat will. Jin army.

"The physical strength is also very strong." Yuan Qiao took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "They entered the battlefield wearing heavy armor. Qiao observed it specially. With Yuan Zi's knowledge, he should understand what this means."

Huan Wen didn't know how heavy the armor of the Han army's heavy infantry was, but he saw many heavy infantry advancing against Shijie's Zhao army's arrows. Even if they were shot like hedgehogs, the Han army's heavy infantry could still advance and wield broadswords Kill the enemy.

No matter how you look at it, the broad sword weighs [-] to [-] catties, and this is still the weight of the broad sword. If you hold the handle and swing it, the force you use is not as simple as lifting the whole sword, it requires more strength.

Wearing an armor that weighs nearly a hundred catties, plus a broadsword weighing twenty or thirty catties, a soldier can carry more than one hundred catties. Considering that he is not simply carrying a load, but will also perform some complicated movements, the physical exertion will definitely be greater. In addition, the soldiers on the battlefield will have mental tension and accelerate the consumption of physical energy. After all, it is really not as direct and simple as one plus one equals two.

Huan Wen knew exactly what that meant, especially when the legion called the Imperial Guard advanced with such a sense of hierarchy, the cooperation shown could almost be described as an unbroken chain. As far as he knew, no country or country in the world No power can do that.

"Imperial Guards..." Yuan Qiao sighed: "Even dare to take this name, it is clear that they are going to stand on their own hills. I am afraid that after this battle is over, it is time to establish a country."

Huan Wen nodded: "The Imperial Guard Army and the Huben Army are the current two ace corps of the Han Army."

"The imperial guards have both infantry and cavalry, and cavalry is a kind of assault cavalry." Yuan Qiao sighed again: "The tiger and cardinal army is equipped with armored cavalry, and the number should be two thousand?"

how to say?Shijie Zhao State occupied the entire Central Plains with only 1 armored cavalry and [-] armored heavy infantry. Shijie relied on this army to subdue the Qiang and Di tribes, making the Qiang and Di tribes willing to serve Shijie. Murong Xianbei's mink and leopard cavalry consisted of [-] iron cavalry, and the Murong family relied on the mink and leopard to run wild in eastern Liao [-].

Apart from the Dragon Guard and the Diaobao Cavalry, it seems that there is no truly powerful army in the world?As for the Yiwei army of the Tuoba Dai Kingdom, they are at best cavalry cavalry. Recently, the Tuoba Dai Kingdom fought against Liu Hu Xiongnu Tiefu in the grasslands of northern Saibei. The Yi Wei Army performed very well. The bunker cavalry were side by side, probably even Tuoba Shiyijian didn't have the guts to say that.

"Ran Min also has a tiger and ben army." Huan Wen was not mistaken, it was Ran Min who changed his surname back to Ran Min, and the news about Ran Min leading the army into Guanzhong, after nearly three months of fermentation, can be regarded as spreading. world.He said worriedly: "Ran Min entered Guanzhong, Liangzhou Inspector Zhang Jun has formally formed an alliance with him, and they each claim the title of king. In that case... Zhang Jun will not obey the imperial court's orders at all."

"And Liu... Liu Shijun!" Yuan Qiao originally wanted to call Liu Yan's name directly, but after thinking about it, he still used the respectful name: "In the biography, Liu Shijun is an alliance with Ran Min and Zhang Jun."

Can you speak foul language?In fact, it was really a dog!From the beginning to the end, Liu Yan had no contact with Zhang's Liangguo at all, and the proclamation spread all over the world that the tripartite alliance was a non-existent thing.

By the way, in the essay, Ran Min claimed to be the King of Qin, Zhang Jun was the King of Liang, and the two identified Liu Yan as the King of Qi. That was what made Liu Yan really depressed and angry.Looking at the title of the king, it is completely based on the nature of the region. For example, Ran Min was supposed to call himself the King of Wei, but when he entered Guanzhong, he was called the King of Qin.

"Liu Shijun said that Ran Min and Zhang Jun made their own claims?" Yuan Qiao was not there that day and asked, "Is it true?"

"Heh, heh..." Huan Wen laughed for a while, and then he said in a word: "Ran Min and Liu Shijun are in an alliance, there is nothing wrong with that. But Liu Shijun claims that he has no relationship with him Zhang Jun has had any contact or agreement." He stopped, and there was another burst of laughter that he didn't know what it was, and he let out a heavy breath: "He said, it shouldn't be such a lazy person who is called the king. The king will only be the King of Han."
