Quan Yutianxia GL

After Li Rui, Xiao Hongfei, and Yan Lingge received the news from the Military Intelligence Department, they started to break out of the camp the next day and set off. In one day, they rushed hundreds of miles and quickly approached Pinggang City.

On the second day after they pulled out the camp, the three tribes of Xianbei finally reached a consensus and were ready to withdraw their troops—after all, they had robbed enough, and winter was coming soon. Besides wrangling, what are the benefits?

Although the three Qing armies outside were not strong enough to confront Xianbei's three armies of [-] troops head-on, the restraint by the three parties and the internal and external pincers still made Xianbei a little afraid. After all, as long as the three Qing armies outside With the army still standing there, Xianbei did not dare to attack Pinggang City by force.

Although they decided to withdraw their troops, the leaders of Xianbei still feel it is a pity. After all, they have been planning and calculating since last year, in order to snatch soldiers and strengthen their own strength. He is not a generous person, Duanbu and Yuwenbu, who exchanged food and slaves with him, did not agree.

Moreover, Murong Chang was not only not forthright, but even very treacherous. He stood by Mr. Wu You before and did not agree to withdraw the army, but now he withdraws the army faster than anyone else. Go fast.

As soon as Murong Chang walked away, Yu Wencheng followed closely behind. He had the fewest soldiers and horses, and he ran more neatly than Murong's troops, and he slipped away in a short time.

Duan Bu walked the slowest, because Duan Bu plundered the most grain and the Qing slaves, and he wanted to load the grain and take away the slaves. When he dragged his feet and set off, the three Qing armies had already approached within twenty miles.

In order to guard against the Qing army, Duan Wuchen personally cleared the way in front, the food and slaves were sandwiched in the middle of the team, and he even arranged for a full [-] elite riders to break the rear.

From Duan Wuchen's point of view, the Qing army might pursue him, but with [-] elite riders on the mat, even if the Qing army caught up, they would not dare to fight him seriously—after all, Gu Wenxiong's tens of thousands of troops, He had been so hungry for a long time that it was possible to rush and kill him in a short period of time in the city, but it was not certain to trek to hunt him down.

As for the three Qing armies outside, Duan Wuchen believes that without the support of Gu Wenxiong's combat power, the possibility of chasing and killing them is unlikely. The Xuanjia army appeared, and the [-] cavalry behind them were able to escape the pursuit by relying on the speed of their horses.

Of course, the best situation would be that after his troops withdrew, the three Qing troops picked up Gu Wenxiong from Pinggang City, and then wrangled with each other for power. After all, the Qing people were the best at these things.

Duan Wuchen thought a lot, but he didn't expect that Chuning and the Weimin Army and Zhaoyi Army had already hid by the roadside where they went back, waiting for another wave of harvest.

Chuning led the army to hide on Mount Yan, and Xianbei retreated, just as Mrs. Yan expected, passing by the foot of the mountain where she hid.Originally, Chuning thought that such things as hiding soldiers in the mountains could only exist in film and television works, but it was actually not very feasible. After all, the Guards Army and the Zhaoyi Army had a lot of people, and the movements were not small.

But she hid in the mountains for several days, watching Xianbei cavaliers running around at the foot of the mountain every day, no one climbed up the mountain at all, she couldn't help thinking to herself: the ancients did not deceive me, no wonder the bandits, Grass bandits like to occupy the mountain as king when they get into trouble. This is really a good way, especially the Yanyun Mountain Range. Everyone thinks that the [-] mountains are dangerous and unattainable, but in fact, there are as many winding trails as there are in the Yanyun Mountain Range. It's like a fishing net, let alone hiding thousands of people, even tens of thousands of people are hidden, and it's unlikely that anyone will be able to discover it.

"Master General." Mrs. Yan has been paying attention to the situation at the foot of the mountain, and said in a low voice: "The day before yesterday and yesterday, the Murong Department and the Yuwen Department have withdrawn, and the Xianbei people who came today are under the banner of the Duan Department."

"Duanbu is behind?" Chuning couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "This section is really destined for us."

"I'm afraid it's evil fate." Madam Yan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "If nothing else happens, Xiao Zhongwu and Ling Ge have already followed up with their troops, and most of the boss Rou Si They are recruits and may be late."

"It doesn't matter if it's later, I don't expect those recruits to join the battle anyway." Chuning still felt a little uneasy: "What I'm worried about is that if the Murong Department or the Yuwen Department turn around in front and go around from the small plain in the east to Xiao Go behind Zhongwu and Fengming's war department..."

"Although the general is considerate, Murong and Yuwen will definitely not turn around." Mrs. Yan said: "Before Xianbei raised troops this year, Duan was the strongest, but after several battles, Duan suffered heavy losses. On the other hand, Murong Not only did they deceive Gu Wenxiong with [-] sets of armor, but they also blatantly robbed Duan's soldiers and horses, and recruited the Duan tribe... Maybe this news was blocked by Murong, and it hasn't reached Duan yet. Wait for Duan to withdraw In the clan land, how can the Murong Department's actions be hidden? In this way, there will be a gap between the two departments, and for this reason, how can the Murong Department turn around and come to save the Duan Department?"

"From this point of view, there is still a civil war to be fought in Xianbei. Besides, this general came over the mountains and ate the wind and slept in the open, not just to watch them retreat!" Chu Ning nodded and ordered: "Order all the ministries to prepare for the war !"

The Weimin army and the Zhaoyi army were in a state of preparation for battle. At noon, including Chuning, they all ate only one compressed biscuit. After noon, Chuning saw many Qing people tied up with ropes and taken away on the mountain.

After the prisoners passed by, the transport team came up to pick them up. Chuning and Mrs. Yan patiently waited until the transport team passed halfway through, and then ordered the battle to begin.

Most of the baggage at the foot of the mountain was loaded on horse-drawn carriages. Except for the majority of soldiers and horses who cleared the way in front and reared behind, there were only a small number of cavalry accompanying the baggage carts. The soldiers and horses escorting the luggage did not realize that they had encountered an enemy attack until the overwhelming stones rolled down.

When they reacted, it seemed as if many years had passed in just a few tens of breaths. The whole road was full of various rocks, and these newly piled up rocks separated the Xianbei soldiers and horses who were marching like snakes. into two sections.

He couldn't come back from the previous section, and couldn't get through the latter section, so he could only watch helplessly as the other party fled in panic.

After the rocks rolled down, a rope as thick as an arm was thrown down along the traces of the falling rocks. Immediately afterwards, a Xuanjia army slid down the rope, appearing in front of the Xianbei soldiers at the foot of the mountain as if falling from the sky.

This time, the guards didn't wear heavy shields, armed with guns and knives, formed a five-member squad as soon as they landed, quickly went into battle, and followed the winding road to kill in the direction of Pinggang City.

After the guards killed Banzhuxiang, the Zhaoyi army used the division as a combat unit, and the six divisions took turns to clean up and kill, while the six divisions stayed behind to guard against being turned around by most of the Xianbei troops who came back and killed them. I was caught off guard.

Yan Lingge was leading Fengming's war department to follow Xianbei, and Duan Wuchen left behind the generals to maintain a defensive posture at all times, but he did not expect that he guarded the rear, but not the front. After the ambush, he quickly gathered his [-] elite cavalry and stood in formation for battle.

Seeing Xianbei's formation, Yan Lingge couldn't help beaming with joy. She knew that Chu Ning must have made a move in front, and quickly formed a formation, while sending people to contact Xiao Hongfei and Li Rui.

Xianbei's Nayi general was not stupid, seeing that Yan Lingge didn't attack first, he knew that she was waiting for reinforcements, and secretly wavered in his heart - did he attack before her reinforcements arrived?Or should I immediately lead the army to retreat and retain combat power?

After much deliberation, this Xianbei general named Duan Yihong decided to make the first move—even if he retreated, at least he had to try the actual combat power of this Fengming iron cavalry, at least to find out the strengths and weaknesses of this iron cavalry before he could go back Find a countermeasure.

However, Fengming Iron Cavalry is here, and Li Rui's Rushuiying and Xiao Hongfei's Zhongwu Army are mostly infantry... The infantry's marching speed will definitely not be faster than Fengming Iron Cavalry, so who is the ambush in the middle? What about Zhi Qingjun?

Before Duan Yihong had time to figure out this question, he saw that the opponent had already opened up his position and showed his weapon.

Yan Lingge holds a saber in his hand—the saber Fengming Iron Cavalry is equipped with now is different from the narrow-edged saber equipped by the Guards Army. It has a longer blade, a wider blade, and a thicker back. With an eight-inch handle, the blade alone is a full meter long.

This knife had a very simple name in Chuning's previous life - Machete.

Although the name of the sword is not prestigious enough, it is actually very international. It has not only slapped Japanese devils, but also hacked Western robbers. Here, it is called a long sword.

When this kind of long knife is equipped with cavalry, if the enemy is infantry, there is basically no need for tactical actions such as chopping and chopping. You only need to hang the round ring on the handle of the knife on the special hook of the cavalry's waist armor. Hold the handle of the knife with one hand, turn the blade outward, rely on the speed of the horse, run forward for a distance, and cut off a large bunch of heads like cutting crops.

Therefore, Yan Lingge likes to bring this kind of sword to the battlefield very much, especially when facing the Xianbei who can't even forge weapons and relies entirely on the Yi tribe purchased and captured from Daqing, her heart is full of joy. Superiority and will to fight.

However, Xianbei is a cavalry soldier just like her, so what should be hacked must be hacked, and what should be hacked must be hacked.

The blade shines.

The horn sounded.

The killing sound was like thunder.

Yan Lingge personally led five hundred heavy cavalry wearing horse armor, forming a small cone formation, charging forward like a tiger descending a mountain.

Duan Yihong waved the flag, and immediately dispatched [-] fine cavalry to fight head-on. Immediately afterwards, another [-] cavalry came up from the left and right flanks, intending to form a three-way encirclement, compressing the battle space of Fengming cavalry and reducing the speed of their horses. impact force.

Both sides are cavalry, and they both know the strengths and weaknesses of the cavalry. Duan Yihong's response, Yan Lingge has long expected, and at the moment, he doesn't care about the encirclement of the left and right wings. Beheading people, killing horses when encountering horses, the sky is filled with blood and blood.

Compared with the fine cavalry of Duanbu, although the three thousand Fengming cavalry were not equipped with horse armor, the armor on the cavalry was much better. Not only did the neck guard protect the neck, but even the leg guards were covered with armor. Not to mention the arms, not only are the sleeves made of thin wire bent into circles, but even a pair of leather wristbands are tied on the outside, turning the armor into a tortoise shell, which is extremely difficult to hurt. The key.

Compared with the armored heavy cavalry of the Fengming War Department, the Duanbu Jingqi Cavalry is more flexible. They live on horseback all year round. Although they don't have iron to make the stirrups, they hang a rope on both sides of the horse's back to form two traps. Stopping their feet is enough to free their hands. Not only can they shoot bows and arrows while the horses are running fast, they can even bite the back of a knife with their mouths and wait for an opportunity to fight close to body.

Of course, when encountering a tortoise-like iron cavalry like Fengming's war department, they quickly suffered from close combat, because the saber of Fengming's war department, in hand-to-hand combat, has no lethality against the unarmored Xianbei fine cavalry. It's too scary.

Duan Yihong has long heard of the name of the Fengming War Department, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of terrifying combat power that takes away a head with one knife, and he can clearly see the huge gap in the armor of the two sides—— When the weapon of the enemy is engaged in a head-on confrontation with the enemy's weapon, there are only two endings under one combination.

Either be bent or cut off, there is no third choice.

Therefore, Duan Bu's fine cavalry could only increase the distance, relying on bows and arrows to bring casualties to Fengming's cavalry, but such casualties were really negligible to Fengming's war department.

However, on the vast battlefield where space is not limited, Duanbu Jingqi quickly figured out Fengming's tactics after losing some of his soldiers and horses, and then flexibly opened up the distance by virtue of his own advantage of unarmored light cavalry , Let the battle enter a confrontational state of chasing each other.

Such a confrontation is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to the Xianbei Jingqi, because the horses of the Fengming Iron Cavalry are not only equipped with horse armor, but also the heavy armor of the cavalry. The longer the confrontation, the more horsepower it consumes. If they are exhausted, the Fengming iron cavalry can only be slaughtered.

But the two sides didn't have a confrontation for long, and the Zhongwu Army and Rushui recruits caught up quickly.

"Three thousand soldiers on the left and five thousand soldiers on the right, let's fight immediately!"

"Two thousand soldiers and horses, keep an eye on the Fengming iron cavalry who have not participated in the battle, as long as they participate in the battle, immediately besiege and kill them!"

"The rest of the troops, pay attention to the enemy attack from the rear!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the two newly arrived Qing troops were not yet fully formed, Duan Yihong gave orders repeatedly.

The sound of war drums and horns, it is a pity that the sky is shaking!

Eight thousand fine Xianbei cavalry came whistling, like two torrents, overwhelming the Rushui recruits and the Zhongwu army.

The Zhongwu Army is much better than Rushuiying. Although they broke up after rushing to attack, they are all veteran soldiers who have experienced many battles. Even if the enemy comes head-on, they can still hold their weapons and stand firm.

The new army in Rushuiying was several levels behind. Even though Chu Rou asked Mao Gui to break up the [-] loyal soldiers drawn out and put them into the [-] new recruits to serve as grassroots officers, she couldn't stand the fact that these new recruits were recruited for the first time. Once encountering such a big battle with thousands of troops, with the sound of the drums and the sound of killing, many people were so scared that they peed in their crotches.

I didn't even think about letting these new recruits join the battle, but I just wanted to attract more people to support the field, but I didn't expect that when I rushed to the ground, the enemy came to greet with a knife, and I had to fight if I didn't want to fight.

It was also the first time for Chu Rou to encounter this kind of battle, but at least she was someone who had seen blood in several battles, so she soon calmed down, but she neither went to the battle like Yan Lingge did, nor Like Xiao Hongfei, he methodically set up the formation on the spot, dispatched troops and generals, and attacked from left to right.

"The whole army rushes forward!" Chu Rou shouted from behind the formation holding a wooden horn: "Those who retreat will be defeated!"

The five hundred soldiers and horses of the Xiaoqi Division also held wooden trumpets and yelled Chu Rou's words three times in unison, then threw away the wooden trumpets, drew out their swords, and rode behind the recruits to supervise the battle.

Holding a spear in Mao Gui's hand, he stood proudly in front of the formation. Behind him were a thousand elite soldiers of the loyal army, and behind him were recruits who were training in Rushui. It has already rushed over.

"kill!"

After Chu Rou and Xiao cavaliers finished shouting, Mao Gui shouted loudly, and led the Zhongwu army with guns in hand to charge towards the three thousand Xianbei soldiers and horses.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The thousand loyal soldiers in front simply lined up in three rows, and with the majestic three-shot exit, they had already rushed through the rain of arrows, and built a city wall for the recruits behind with round shields and chest halls.

The new army behind had been gutted at this moment, but they didn't have the slightest thought of running away. Their minds seemed to be blank, and their legs, which were shaking like sifting chaff, involuntarily ran up with the Zhongwu army. Go forward, hold the long/spear, just like the previous training thousands of times a day, numbly stab the long/spear from the gap in the round shield, and then numbly retract it...

Chu Rou was watching the battle from behind. She originally thought that blood would be needed to drive these recruits to fight, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It seems that what Chu Ning said is good. After erasing the will to resist and be independent After realizing it, people will only act according to group instinct.”

Before that, Chu Rou killed and suppressed these recruits' will to resist, used money to attract their desires, and used all kinds of cruel training to obliterate their independent consciousness.Therefore, in the face of the menacing Xianbei cavalry, even if they are as timid as a mouse, they will follow the inner herd consciousness and the conditioned reflex of numb training, and take out their guns to kill the enemy.

Looking at the overall battlefield, Duan Yihong was soon attracted by the shouts of hundreds of people from Churou's side - the Xianbei cavalry had already started to charge, and these people were not in a hurry to form a formation to fight, but they were still holding a trumpet and shouting Yelling... did they think they were singing?Is it a joke?

Casting his gaze, Duan Yihong wanted to laugh a little, but soon he couldn't laugh - the three rows of shield formations in front of this Qing army were set up very quickly, and the distance was also very appropriate. The degree of high-speed collision.Although the spearmen at the back didn't form a complete formation, they still rushed forward and set up their spears along the shield formation...

The height of these spears/spears/stabs, as if measured, the lower row can stab the belly of a horse, and the upper row can stab the cavalry's waist obliquely...

With the speed limited by the shield wall and the long-range attack of the bow and arrow lost, no one can judge the pros and cons of the saber cavalry versus the spearman at a glance, but Duan Yihong quickly saw something wrong on the field—— up!The fighting rhythm here is completely chaotic!

The reason is that after the Xianbei cavalry found that the frontal gun-shield mixed formation was difficult to break, they flexibly divided into three parts and adopted siege tactics from the front and two wings.The spearmen of the Qing army, who had no formation at all, discovered that cavalrymen were approaching on both sides, instead of retreating behind the shield formation, they confronted the Xianbei cavalry with their guns, aiming at the horse bellies of the Xianbei cavalry. poke.

For the Xianbei cavalry, the horse is the second life, and the position in their hearts is even higher than that of their wives and children...

Rao Duan Yihong has been on the grassland for many years and has fought against the Qing army many times, but it is the first time he has seen such a spearman who is not afraid of death and even charged at the cavalry.

This is a dead man!

This must be the elite dead soldiers of Daqing!

Duan Yihong's heart was greatly shaken, seeing that spearmen who had no formation at all broke up Xianbei's cavalry formation with their flesh and blood!

Or mess/shoot/stab/death the Xianbei cavalry with men and horses

Or be beheaded by the Xianbei cavalry

……

At the same time, Duan Yihong saw the cavalry in the back start to move.They neither divided their troops nor confronted the Xianbei cavalry head-on. Instead, they took advantage of the Xianbei cavalry being thrown out of formation and fighting with the spearmen in a hurry. On the edge of the battlefield, horses were running fast while beheading people. Even if they missed one hit, they had already run to the next place and beheaded another person. However, the Xianbei cavalry who escaped by chance could not escape the next one. Man, the next knife...

This light cavalry with only 500 men was like a terrifying sharp knife, cutting off heads round after round along the edge of the battle formation.

Yes!

Peeling - just like peeling a fruit, peeling towards the middle in a circle.

Because, the Xianbei cavalry with bows and knives, who were able to draw with Fengming's war department, had already been stumbled by those spearmen who were dying. Without the impact of horses running, their mobility and melee ability were greatly weakened , can only concentrate on cleaning up the surrounding gunmen, facing the side and rear attacks, they can hardly resist.

Not only Duan Yihong was stunned by this kind of tactics, even Xiao Hongfei, who was not far away, turned his head frequently, watching the battle situation on Chu Rou's side, and at the same time looking at Yan Lingge who was having a hot game with others over there, his heart instantly Then think of a few new tactics.

The more he thought about it, the colder Xiao Hongfei's heart became—Since ancient times, men are so passionate and generous, and they yearn for gold and iron horses to fight proudly on the battlefield.

But Chuning's army, just like herself, seems to be neither fighting nor robbing, without the slightest impassionedness, but in fact - the armor they wear, the weapons they hold tightly, and even every shot they stab , Every slash of the knife has been calculated calmly and accurately!

Armor, weapons, tactics, and even every movement of the soldiers' training... everything is for one purpose - casualties!

Do not outsmart!Only use strength to fight the enemy—in the shortest time, cause the greatest casualties to the enemy!

This is Chuning's army, just like her herself - not passionate, not wild, on the surface it seems to be docile and bullying, but in fact, under the smiling face, she hides her sharpness deeply.

Take this battle for example, in Xiao Hongfei's view, it was unnecessary, and even superfluous. After all, Xianbei retreated to keep Gu Wenxiong's strategic goal of keeping the armor in his hands.

But Chuning insisted on fighting here again, and her only reason was - from now on, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army will not see blood or return to their scabbards!

Xiao Hongfei understood that this young female general was using this battle to establish her prestige!Xiang Xianbei!Also to the court!

Inexplicably, Xiao Hongfei thought of Baiyi Yunhou, he was suddenly very curious, and wanted to know where Chu Ning could go.

The author has something to say: Well, General Chu, how far can you go?
