I'm playing tricks in Daqin

As a partial division, Wang Chengyi's troops did not have any cavalry troops, so they could only scrape together, and together with some private soldiers from various generals, they made up a cavalry force of 500 people. It is the elite of the elite, theoretically enough to hold back the three thousand Qingqi of the Qin army.

Of course, with his cautious and cautious style, the two wings of the Chinese army still set up large spear formations to prevent the cavalry from losing and the two wings being attacked by enemy cavalry.

After the cavalry on both sides went through the run-up, their speed was getting faster and closer, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Seeing that the two torrents of steel were about to collide fiercely, after the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers shot a wave of arrows, their horses turned their heads. Turning, turning abruptly, and going around backwards, the cavalry team was also divided into two.

The Tang army's cavalry rushed forward against the rain of arrows, like a sharp long sword, cutting the formation of tiger and leopard cavalry in half.

On the surface, it seems that the Tang army's iron cavalry is fierce, forcibly cutting the formation of the Qin army's cavalry, but the taste of it can only be felt by the Tang army knights who are in it.

The knights were indeed full of energy, trying to defeat the Qingqi of the Qin army in one go, just like two masters duel, one of them used enough skill to stab a sure-to-kill sword, but the sword pierced in the empty space, empty There is no force, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

That's not to mention, the cavalry of the Qin army can also ride and shoot. While urging their mounts to run, they turned around and fired arrows. Although the accuracy was poor, they couldn't hold up the arrows. , or even a dozen or twenty arrows fell off the horse, but you can't attack others with your iron sword and spear. This is the most bloody thing.

After "penetrating" the cavalry formation of the Qin Army, the generals of the commanding army were as big as a fight. The battle was confused and aggrieved. They have not been able to fight the Qin Army so far. Instead, they lost more than 200 soldiers. .

Now, the cavalry of the Qin army is divided into two. I don't know which side to pursue, or divide the troops to pursue?

No matter what kind of decision is made, it is painful and uncomfortable. Obviously, the tactics of the cavalry of the Qin Army are too wretched and hateful. They have no intention of hand-to-hand combat at all. It can consume you alive and achieve a perfect victory with 0 losses.

Although the general in charge of the army was extremely entangled, he still made a decision quickly and divided his troops to pursue him. He gave this order very helplessly.

His mission is to deal with the cavalry of the Qin army. Even if he can't defeat them, at least he must entangle them tightly so that they cannot attack the infantry phalanx on his side.

The cavalry played a game of hide-and-seek, while the advancing infantry got closer and closer, the sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded, and countless arrows suddenly flew from behind the formations of both sides, densely packed like locusts, covering the sky.

The dense rain of arrows fell on the Tang army's phalanx, and blood sprayed immediately. The shield axe soldiers quickly set up their large shields, and the dense arrows fell on the shield like raindrops, occasionally bursting into a puff of blood. blood rain.

The Qin army's phalanx was also shrouded in dense rain of arrows. Amidst the tinkling explosions, the sharp arrows just left a small white spot on the surface of the thick and solid iron armor, splashing out a little spark, and then bounced and fell. When it landed, the shaft of the arrow was broken by countless iron shoes, and it sank into the mud.

The sky was full of criss-crossing arrows, and the soldiers on both sides braved the rain of arrows and continued to push forward. Then they collided fiercely, and the sky-shattering roar exploded in an instant, splitting the sky.

Although the soldiers trapped in the camp relied on their thick and solid armor to take advantage of the fierce impact, and the heavy and sharp Mo Dao chopped down several rows of Tang soldiers, it was impossible to break through the dense human wall in a short period of time. They fell into a stalemate for a while.

Standing on the temporary high platform, Xia Houheng surveyed the entire battlefield, and quickly made various adjustments according to the changes in the battle situation. Seeing that the tiger and leopard cavalry had divided the Tang army's cavalry into several pieces, he immediately issued a new order.

Chapter 362 Lancer

The earth-shattering sound of war drums was quick to beat, dense like raindrops.

Shang Xingyun, who was galloping on horseback, put down his bow, and drew out the flickering saber from the scabbard in front of the saddle, and raised his right arm high, straight to the sky.

The rapid drumbeat was a signal and an order, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were about to attack officially.

The knights around Hou roared loudly, gathered quickly, and quickly formed an attacking formation.

"kill!"

The sword in the palm of Shang Xingyun pointed forward, and he was the first to urge the mount. On the left and right were his personal guards, and behind him was the flag officer, holding high the unique battle flag of the tiger and leopard cavalry, guiding the knights behind follow.

After two back and forth charges, the commander of the cavalry of the Tang Army found that the number of soldiers following him was less than a thousand, and none of the enemies had been touched, which drove him crazy. So obscene and shameless.

He was furious and helpless, now he found that Shang Xingyun put away his riding bow and showed his saber, knowing that the real bloody battle was coming, he quickly gave orders, organized his formation, and galloped forward to meet him.

Both sides are sprinting at full speed, like two torrents of steel colliding fiercely. First, there are explosions and sparks of violent metal collisions, followed by mournful howls and blood mist sprayed everywhere.

Under the leadership of their respective chief officers, the knights on both sides slashed desperately with their horses, until they penetrated the opponent's cavalry formation before they took a long breath of air.

After penetrating the opponent's cavalry formation, both sides turned their horses' heads and continued to rush back. At this time, a cavalry army of 500 people flashed out from the rear of the Qin army and quietly joined the cavalry formation of tiger and leopard cavalry.

This 500-man cavalry is like a heavy armored soldier trapped in the camp, wearing thick and sturdy iron armor, all with three-meter-long giant guns, and even the horses that stepped off the Xiongjun are tightly wrapped in thick and sturdy armor. An invulnerable steel monster.

This is Li Wei's experimental Lancer, which was modeled on the heavy cavalry of the ancient West and spent a lot of money to build.

He fiddled with the heavy armored soldiers who were trapped in the camp, and he would naturally fiddle with heavy cavalry, but the requirements for heavy cavalry were higher, so high that he almost gave up on this idea.

Needless to say, the making of horse armor was a highly demanding technical job. Even though the Qin Empire had many skilled craftsmen, it took more than two years of repeated building and testing before they could create a suitable set of horse armor.

Li Wei's "Wonderful Ideas"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with it. It was originally plagiarized from later generations. However, the most critical and fundamental problem is the smelting technology. Requirements, therefore, the forged heavy armor is still very thick and heavy.

If it's just like the heavy armored men trapped in the camp, the extremely strong strong men can still hold on for a while wearing thick and heavy iron armor, but the heavy cavalry is different. The horses have to support the heavy weight of the horse armored knight The weight of the armored iron gun, and it must be able to run for a while, and the speed should not be too slow.

Restricted by too many factors, if Li Wei hadn't followed Wu You's suggestion, he would have been a little discouraged.

Wu You's suggestion is to choose some particularly strong and fat war horses to try first, and if it doesn't work, shelve this plan for the time being, and there is no loss anyway.

Two thousand sets of horse armor were built, but after repeated selection, there were only more than 800 war horses suitable for such high conditions. During the test, more than 300 of the best war horses of Xiongjun were damaged, which made Li Wei very heartbroken. Well, I kicked Wu You twice, war horses are hard to get, but this loss is hundreds of high-quality war horses.

Five hundred Lancers were created just like this, but their power still needs to be tested in actual combat. Therefore, Wang Chengyi's partial division was selected by Li Wei as the subject of the experiment.

The cavalry of both sides continued to charge and penetrate each other's cavalry. After two rounds of back and forth cavalry, the remaining cavalry of the Tang army only had about 200 cavalry and suffered heavy losses. The elites, coupled with their fighting spirit, although they were at a disadvantage in terms of weapons, still caused the tiger and leopard cavalry to lose more than [-] cavalry.

After penetrating the cavalry formation of the Qin army, the commander of the cavalry of the Tang army found that there were hundreds of cavalry behind the formation of the Qin army.

The hundreds of Qin cavalry who were behind were moving very slowly. When the distance got closer, the leader of the Tang army suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

Obviously, these hundreds of riders are different from ordinary light riders. The riders on horseback are all tightly wrapped in thick iron armor, and even their faces have protective gear, with only two slits exposed for clear vision. The iron spear, to be precise, should be too heavy, and the knight had to clamp the iron spear under his armpit to reduce the stress on his wrist.

That's not to mention, even the horses they stepped off from Xiongjun were tightly covered with a thick layer of iron armor, with only four hooves exposed.

Although the speed of these armored knights is very slow, they are crushed like giant mountains, which makes people instinctively feel a chilling sense of fear.

The two sides quickly came into contact, like two torrents of steel colliding fiercely. Tang Jun Qingqi immediately experienced the terrifying impact force of this heavy cavalry. They were like invulnerable steel monsters, crushing their opponents effortlessly.

Tang Jun's iron sword only scratched a shallow mark on their solid and thick iron armor, and the fierce slashing force would at most shake their burly bodies, without causing any substantial damage at all.

And the spears they held under their armpits were like piercing thin paper, piercing through and flying the Tang army knights without any effort, and they stepped off the armored horses and smashed the Tang army's horses to pieces. The creatures they advance are crushed to pieces.

The [-] remaining Qingqi troops of the Tang army failed to break through the steel defense line built by this steel monster at all, and were all crushed into powder under the impact.

Without the entanglement of the enemy cavalry, Shang Xingyun roared, pointed at the Tang army's central army formation with the saber in his palm, and led his tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers to crush the Tang army's central army formation.

Wang Chengyi is also a battle-hardened veteran, and he knows very well that traditional battles are all about consumption and morale. It is also difficult to defeat the five defensive phalanxes of his former army from the front within a short period of time.

Generally speaking, this kind of traditional positional warfare is mostly a frontal stalemate. When the two wings turn around in the battle, they can then assault the large formation of the central army to defeat the enemy. Therefore, he, who is in command of the central army, has been paying close attention to the right-wing cavalry duel.

I thought that even if the [-] cavalry composed of tribal private soldiers could not win, at least they could contain the Qin army's cavalry, but they didn't expect that they would be defeated so quickly, and the entire army was wiped out.

Wang Chengyi now realizes that he was wrong, and he was wrong very badly. His morale is indeed capable of fighting, but he must have strong strength as a backing.

Chapter 363

Wang Chengyi regretted it very much now, but he could only bite the bullet and hold on. It would definitely be a catastrophe to order a retreat at this time, and the whole army might be wiped out.

Fortunately, the worst plan was made before. Both wings of the middle and rear army were equipped with large spear formations, and archers pressed the formation to prevent the cavalry of the Qin army from rushing into the formation.

Seeing the cavalry of the Qin army sweeping in like a tide, Wang Chengyi was so nervous that the muscles on his cheeks twitched. He didn't know that the long spear array could withstand the crazy impact of the cavalry. At this point, besides fighting for morale, he could only rely on luck up.

However, what surprised him was that although the Qin army's cavalry was coming fiercely, they did not hit the spear array, but suddenly split into two, half ran to the rear, and half turned to bypass. Many, not fast cavalry came rushing towards the spear array.

While ordering the whole army to be on guard, Wang Chengyi stared closely at the small number of cavalrymen of the Qin Army who were not very fast. The rumbling sound of galloping horses almost crushed his heart.

As soon as the cavalry of the Qin Army entered the range of bows and arrows, the officer in charge immediately ordered the archers to release arrows, killing and wounding the enemies rushing into the formation with a dense rain of arrows.

A few waves of arrows rained down, but I didn't see the expected blood, I didn't see the knight fall to the ground, and I didn't see the horse hissing and falling down. This is really evil.

After a moment of stupefaction, they finally saw clearly that they were all a group of invulnerable steel monsters.

Someone screamed in fright, "Heavy armor... cavalry..."

The trapped camp has participated in several battles. With its invincible attack power and impregnable defense ability, it has made opponents fearful. Due to technical reasons, the heavy armor that was spent heavily in the Shanzhai is not at the same level as the heavy armor of the Qin Army. The armor is too thick and heavy, and the soldiers cannot hold it. It is too thin and has insufficient defense capabilities. Just better.

A set of bright light armor with good protection ability is already expensive. A set of heavy armor is more complicated and takes longer. The price is as high as six or seven sets of bright light armor. The price of making a thousand sets of heavy armor will make you feel alive die.

Precisely because the price of heavy armor is too high, even if the kings of the empires are willing to bleed, they will at most build one or two thousand sets, equip the emperor's own army, and show off their might. Who is willing to go to the battlefield?

The Jin Empire is known as the most powerful country in the mainland, and Jin Wang Huazhao just gritted his teeth and got a 3000-strong Habayashi heavy guard.

Because of the appearance of heavy armored soldiers, some people thought about getting heavy armored cavalry, but it was not realistic at all. The horses could not bear such a weight. Otherwise, Li Wei might not be the first to create heavy armored cavalry.

Everyone knows how powerful heavy armored soldiers are, and now they suddenly face heavy armored cavalry who are so incapable of shooting, God knows if this thing is as scary as heavy armored soldiers?

Although they hadn't formally contacted them yet, many of the soldiers at the front were already fearful of their reputation as heavy armored soldiers, and tremblingly clenched their spears tightly.

Amidst the rumbling iron hoofs that shook the earth, five hundred heavy cavalry came crushing fiercely like giant steel monsters.

The spearmen in the front row were the first among them, some of them were pierced through the body by the thick and long iron spears and flew away, some only felt their hands shake violently, their eyes darkened, and then they were quickly submerged by the boundless darkness.

For example, Lin's spears couldn't stop the fierce impact of the heavy cavalry at all. The spears were broken, and the soldiers were killed on the spot when their sternum was broken. The dense array of spears was cut through several layers at once.

Faced with the ferocious crushing of the steel monster, the gunmen were killed and injured countless times. Those who didn't want to die could only squeeze back desperately, but behind them were all dense companions, no matter how crowded they couldn't squeeze, they could only wait for death in despair.

The speed of the heavy armored cavalry rushing forward was also slowed down by the dense crowd. However, as all the heavy armored cavalry entered the spear formation, the entire dense long spear formation was scattered, and the ground was full of broken and incomplete dead body.

The spearmen on both sides of the spear array witnessed the terrifying impact of the heavy armored cavalry, and watched many of their comrades being crushed and smashed, and they were already terrified.

The vast majority of these soldiers were young men who had been forcibly recruited into the army. Many of them were just trying to make a living and killing the enemy was pure nonsense. They were terrified by the terrifying massacre before them.

"Run away..."

I don't know who yelled, someone dropped the spear in his hand immediately, turned around and ran outside, someone took the lead, and someone followed, the already scattered gun array immediately coaxed, like an ant colony that exploded its nest, The children are all scattered.

Five hundred heavy armored cavalry rushed forward, followed by a tiger and leopard cavalry, who followed up behind them, crushing some officers who were desperately roaring and trying to restore their formation.

"Army attack!"

Xia Houheng, who was in command of the Chinese army, saw that the formation of the Tang army's Chinese army was in disarray, and immediately issued an order for a general attack.

The morale of the Qin army roared and killed, and they attacked across the board, rushing forward. The Tang army's central army collapsed very quickly, and the front army only resisted for a while, and then collapsed. The mountains and plains were full of fleeing Tang soldiers .

The Qin army chased after them, and those who dared to resist were submerged in the forest of swords and spears in the blink of an eye. Many Tang soldiers who could not run fast directly hugged their heads and squatted down. It is better to be a prisoner than to lose their lives. For the cavalry, only a few clever ones can escape by diving into the dense forest.

When the Chinese army collapsed, Wang Chengyi fled surrounded by his personal guards, and bumped into a tiger and leopard cavalry that was making a big roundabout. Wang Chengyi could only turn around and flee back. The running horse suddenly stumbled, and he was thrown off the horse. When he got up from the ground, he was trampled into meatloaf by countless fleeing defeated soldiers, and died in a daze.

In this battle, more than 3000 enemies were wiped out, nearly [-] were captured, and countless trophies were captured. It can be described as a complete victory.

Li Wei is quite satisfied with this battle. Although it is only to test the power of the heavy cavalry, it is also a test of Xia Houheng's ability. His performance in command is still remarkable, with keen insight and good at capturing Fighter, that's exactly what he'd hoped for.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but a single general is hard to find. He has many great generals under his command, but there are very few generals who can stand alone. This is also the main reason why he focuses on cultivating Xia Houheng.

Nearly [-] captives, except for those officers who could be born in aristocratic families and who could be exchanged for ransom, were all escorted to serve as free labor.

The army rested for one day, and the next day soldiers forced Yang County.

Yangxian County is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Baimo County. It is separated between Baimo City and Zhuang County. The reason why they did not capture it before was because they did not want to make King Tang auspicious jump over the wall. grounds for the occupation.

After capturing Yang County, Baimo County and Zhuang County will naturally be connected together, completely eliminating the threat of the Tang army to Zhuang County.

Although the Tang army deployed heavy troops to defend the counties of Baimo County, in fact, these small counties have low walls and are difficult to rely on for defense, which only increases the burden.

There are [-] defenders stationed in Yangxian City, but it only needs to defeat the partial division of the Tang army that pretended to attack Zhuang County. Five thousand Tang troops surrendered.

Chapter 364 Strategic Adjustment

Yicheng, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial palace, and the Jinluan Palace.

When the news of the defeat of the Wei Empire reached the hands of Tang Wang Jili as quickly as possible, his good mood suddenly turned bad, and he greeted all the ancestors of Wei Wang Gongsundu.

The two countries had just signed an agreement to jointly attack the Qin Empire and carve up its territory. The special envoy of King Wei left the capital in the morning, and the urgent report of the defeat of the Wei Empire was sent to him. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The war had just begun. , the allies will lose, don't play with people like this.

All the ministers who supported the war looked at each other in blank dismay, isn't Wei Wang Gongsun Du too much of a joke?

Sure enough, he is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

Uh, by the way, this seems to be said by someone Li, their deadly enemy. Although it is very vulgar, it hits the nail on the head, a classic quote.

Although the few ministers who opposed the war looked as calm as water, their hearts were full of gloating. They had warned you not to play with fire, and they didn't look at the current situation of the empire. How can they stand another round of tossing?

Everyone is blind. The national strength of the Wei Empire is a small country that is even weaker than the Qin Empire. If the Qin Empire hadn't been busy dealing with the empire's wars these past few years and couldn't spare a hand, it might have been cleaned up by others. yes, pig!The Tang Empire was obviously in a bad year. When the entire Jinluan Hall was in chaos, a eunuch submitted the front-line battle report that had just been urgently delivered, and the Tang King was so angry that he smashed a valuable emerald cup and threw a All the ministers were frightened and fell silent.

The partial division that pretended to attack Baimo County was defeated, and the commander Wang Chengyi was killed. The Qin army pressed forward with the vigor of a great victory. Thousands of defenders also withdrew, and the Qin army occupied Yang County without bloodshed, connecting Baimo County and Zhuang County into a line.

If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose a handful of rice. The one who suffers from this loss is still a dumb loss.

The old Tang king is angry, but he is not so confused that he wants to pour all the power of the whole country into a bloody fight with the Qin Empire. Without the restraint of the Wei Empire, the Qin Army can concentrate all its strength to play with him, and the empire is really not going to go through it anymore. After a toss, he could only order the troops to retreat and send envoys to the Qin Empire to continue talking about the friendship and marriage between the two countries.

Li Wei and other soldiers entered and occupied Yangxian County without bloodshed. The army had a day off and was preparing to march towards the dangerous pass of Pingtang. Sun Zhongyuan's special envoy is already on his way to the empire.

This means the war game is over.

Li Wei couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. In fact, he doesn't want to fight at all right now. The top priority of the empire is to recuperate, recover its vitality, and slowly accumulate war energy. It's just that Qi Changhe, the commander of the Tang army, is a lunatic, attacking wildly regardless of the cost. He had no choice but to send troops to rescue the dangerous pass in Pingtang. Once the army moved, the daily food consumption figure was scary.

The war is over, and the army will naturally return to the court. However, Li Wei, Wu You and others are still staying in Baimo City waiting to earn ransom.

Among the nearly [-] prisoners of the Tang army, nearly [-] were selected from honorable families, most of whom were from well-to-do families and were willing to pay money to redeem them.

These noble family children thought that they were just partial teachers, just pretending to do something, and would not really go to battle, but they didn't expect that they were playing for real, and they deserved to be captured. Fortunately, they have money at home, so they handed over enough money can go home.

However, it takes a certain amount of time to send people to deliver letters. During the detention period, if you don’t want to drink only two bowls of gruel a day like ordinary prisoners, and don’t want to be sent to do hard work, you have to pay extra.
