Chapter three hundred and thirty first exchange one for five hundred
The basins of the Western Regions are scattered, and the army is prone to rushing and breaking, and it is difficult to defend. Therefore, in history, the Central Plains dynasty was able to "fight to the west" only during its heyday. The Northern Liang Protectorate's Statement followed the revival of the Great Feng Dynasty. Now the existence of the three towns of Qingcang Lin Yao Fengxiang is to connect the Central Plains of the Western Regions. In the vast area west of Lin Yao Jun Town, Miyun Mountain Pass is the main throat place. Mountain Rantu is located in the mountain range on the left side of the pass, which is naturally conducive to garrisoning and reserving troops.
Two cavalry troops moved eastward along this wide horizontal mountain pass. The latter is a typical Beimang light cavalry system. Apart from the centurion, the thousands of men wearing iron armor and the Central Plains cavalry generals, most of the cavalrymen were wearing light and tough armor made of leather, and were equipped with various sabers, spears, and bows. You can even see many maces and maces hanging on both sides of the auxiliary horses. The pioneer cavalry was obviously more "heavier". In order not to injure the strength of the war horses, there were also two auxiliary horses, two horses carrying "armors" respectively, that is, soldiers.
The weapon and iron armor, the "Armor Horse" has eye-catching armor bags. The almost cumbersome set of armor is covered with leather, and the outer surface is covered with scale armor or chain mail. The weapons are relatively neat, all of which are spears, bows and sabers, all hanging on the soldiers and horses. The cavalry with a number of about 3,000 people under the crotch are also covered with leather armor. Just from the scale of the three cavalry, you can know that these three thousand cavalry, regardless of the combat power, are definitely the "Lao Tzu Army" that can be ranked among the Beimang Border Army.
According to the jokes of the Beimang's confidant enemy, the Beimang border army is roughly divided into three types. The cavalry nicknamed the Son Army belongs to the elite of the Southern Dynasty. One person and two cavalry are considered the son of the powerful and powerful temple in the Southern Dynasty. There are no shortage of any good items. The war horses are excellent and the soldiers are well-armed. The cavalry in important military towns such as the Wazhu Junzi Pavilion is here. As for the Sun Tzu Army, it is much inferior. In the eyes of Beiliang, especially the iron cavalry outside Liangzhou Pass, it is almost the same as the military achievements on the horse's back.
, vulnerable. There is also a kind of powerful cavalry called Lao Tzu's army, which should not be underestimated. There are as many as three or four or even five auxiliary horses, such as Dong Zhuo's private cavalry, Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Cavalry, and the old personal army of the generals of Beimang, Liu Gui and Yang Yuanzan and other Beimang. The number is small, but the combat power is extremely strong. There is no situation where the troops are disparate, so they dare not fight to the death. If they win, they will be unstoppable, and if they lose, they will be wiped out. They can dominate the situation to a large extent on the battlefield.
This large cavalry army of Beimang, with a total of 10,000 people, was the army that successfully helped Zhongtan climb Mount Lanta Mountain. It was the bottom line of money collected by several wealthy families in the Southern Dynasty. After the first Liangmang battle, the bet on the Southern Dynasty High Gate, which was on Liuzhou and Youzhou, was greatly damaged. Since Liu Gui and Yang Yuan praised these long-standing veterans of the Southern Dynasty border army, this time, the six or seven Southern Dynasty A and B clans who were in the same spirit learned their lessons and bet on the famous Xia Nabo Zhongtan. Of course, they carried it on their backs.
Zhuantan, who relies on big trees to enjoy the shade, also took out a lot of family capitals. The three thousand elite cavalry came from the iron cavalry of the Zong family, and sent half of Zhuantan in one go. Even the generals had only three thousand private cavalry under their command. This shows that the Zong family valued the eldest son. However, this is not surprising. After all, Zhuantan was a descendant who praised even the Queen in the court. He has been watching the officialdom of Beimang for twenty years. Among the honors, there are probably only Liu Gui and Dong Zhuo.
Zhong Tan rode on a sweat-blooded horse nicknamed "Beauty". The young general who should have been proud of his eyes was gloomy. Looking into the distance of the mountain pass, a confidant commander beside him curiously: "Young Master, you have spread all the horses and riding rails for more than 80 years, and they are all their own children. You can't make any mistakes. I guess there will be no war before arriving at Fengxiang Military Town, Liuzhou. What are the young master worried about?"
Zhongtan's ears were filled with the familiar sound of horse hooves and some camel bells in the army, and he frowned and said, "It's so calm."
The leader of the Qianjun family, who came from the family, reached out to scratch the big bald head and grinned, "The young master was unexpected to go to Landao Mountain. It was normal for the Northern Liang border army to react without time. Just the pitiful cavalry in Liuzhou, just dealing with Huang Songpu's troops is enough to eat a big pot. How can we care about us?"
Zong Tan sighed and said worriedly: "Dong Zhuo had already captured the Hutou City of Liangzhou in the last war, and Liuzhou also maintained a balanced power, but in the end he lost the entire battle because Youzhou lost too badly. This battle was north of Jubei City, but the key to the victory and loss was in Liuzhou. I am afraid that the two battles will be because of my Zong Tan. "
The commander of the thousand-man hurriedly interrupted the bad words of the dried sandalwood and said angrily: "Young Master, don't want the crow's mouth!"
Zhongtan laughed at himself, then looked firm and said in a deep voice: "Always staring at the movements of the horse railings in front of you, and the intelligence was slightly stagnant. Our vanguard of three thousand cavalry entered the wartime preparations and rushed out of the Miyun Pass as fast as possible. We must ensure that the six thousand cavalry behind us can spread their formation in a flat area."
The reason why Xia Nabo personally led 3,000 iron cavalry to open the way was because he was worried that he would block the 6,000 cavalry from the Miyun Mountain Pass. The chaotic 6,000 cavalry behind him might not be able to successfully block the sudden impact of the large Beiliang cavalry, and it is even very likely that the enemy would force the sea water to flow backwards. At that time, there would be a one-sided massacre in the Miyun Mountain Pass. Even if the monks in Lantu Mountain are close at hand, it would not be of much significance to the fleeting cavalry battles in the fighter's battle. From beginning to end, the tragic war between Hulukou is very clear. The strength of the military force on paper is all empty. Not only did the gourd mouth in Liangmang battlefield prove this, but the restoration of Western Chu in Guangling Road in Central Plains, Xie Xifeng and Kou Jianghuai also proved this with incredible victory.
Although Zhongtan had a discussion with his father's magical powers and his younger uncle Zhongliang in advance, he believed that the steep situation in Liuzhou did not allow Beiliang to dispatch 20,000 cavalry to intercept it, and once the troops were less than 20,000 cavalry, then Zhongtan's 10,000 cavalry and the nearly 10,000 monks who were about to set off to rush to the battlefield were firmly invincible on any battlefield west of Liuzhou. However, Zhongtan never felt that there was any inevitable situation on the battlefield. In the question and answer of the monarch and ministers in the Xijing court, His Majesty the Empress praised the young man in front of the important ministers in the palace. Zhongtan didn't say much, claiming that "there is no outstanding point, and the only way to use troops is to be cautious." This is not only to take care of the face of Liu Gui and Dong Zhuo's "defeated generals", but more of a true portrayal of Zhongtan's dispatch of troops.
Zhong Tan said to himself: "As long as I leave this Miyun Mountain Pass, no matter how hard you Xu Fengnian has in Liuzhou, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. But even if you have the courage to come and block it, can you really stop me?"
Although it was still a long way to go near the exit, and the military situation that the horse railing in front of us had been conveyed recently was not unusual, but Zhongtan suddenly narrowed his eyes and issued an inexplicable military order, "Three thousand vanguards, change horses! Wear armor!"
Zantan took the lead and rushed forward.
If there are no Northern Liang cavalry waiting outside the mountain pass, then it will be considered as a martial arts show.
———
There has always been a saying of half-crossing attacks in military tactics, which varies from time to place.
A young and elegant cavalryman raised his arm, and the six thousand cavalry in the two towns behind him suddenly stopped.
He looked up at the Miyun Pass about three miles away. The six thousand horses behind him were dusty and showed a tired look. One person and two riders were tired. Logically speaking, the cavalry under this situation would not be able to recover from the peak without a half hour of rest and rectification. The best divine horse in the world could run about 300 miles a day. The so-called 600-mile rush or even 800-mile rush was used to replace the horses and kill the post stations.
The huge price of people paying attention to crimes is actually the real key to determining the speed of a cavalry. The physical strength of the cavalry's most first-class war horse. Those long-distance raids and cavalry battles that are famous in history are based on the premise of heavy horses. Simply put, it is to keep running and running to death and weak weight-bearing horses to ensure the physical strength and impact of the war horses on the battlefield. Otherwise, how can a cavalry that is exhausted after two or three rushes to cause lethality to the enemy?
This time, the established strategies of the Northern Liang Protectorate and the Liuzhou Governor's Office were required to work together with another cavalry to intercept Zhongtan Wan cavalry, and then force the monk soldiers from Lantu Mountain behind him to enter the main battlefield of Qingcang, Liuzhou, so in the end, this interception war did not seek the size of the battle, but it was just to try to win time for the lonely cavalry of Yuluan Dao Army and the main Dragon Elephant Army. It was easy to fight, but it was also difficult to fight. The conservative fighting method was to ignore the infantry monks of Lantu Mountain, and only had to entangle with Zhongtan's open road cavalry. In this way, the task was completed. However, on the way between the two cavalry, he proposed a very risky idea, a guide
The radical policy that both cavalrymen were not easy to fight. He thought that the young man nicknamed Cao Ai Donggua would flatly reject it and would bring up the statement that "the overall situation is the priority", but the young cavalry general of Beiliang who fought side by side with him for the first time actually agreed without saying a word. Not only that, he also took the initiative to take on the task of "sending death". The reason was that he had more people and horses under his command, and General Cao was also more capable of marching and fighting. While he was amused and crying, he also felt a little confused. He was used to shouldering all the burdens alone in Guangling Road, and the heavy life and death of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops was all tied to the heavy load.
This battle made him feel very strange before it even started.
He Xie Xiqian turned his head and looked at the cavalrymen affiliated with the two military towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, and subconsciously reached out to hold the sword that he had only received not long ago, the sixth generation Xu Dao.
He only began to understand many things and details after he actually entered the border army in the northwest. For example, the sword in his hand was made of two specialty, one was to sharpen the blade in the workshop, and the other was to kill people and drink blood on the battlefield. Otherwise, if the sword was only the previous one, it would be impossible to call it a sword.
Xie Xici smiled.
The northern part of the world is cold and bitter, but it is very important to pay attention to it.
But he likes it, very much.
The six thousand cavalry behind him had a complex "original" origin, including the powerful thief who had originally been a scattered king in the two towns, the young and strong refugee in Liuzhou who fought for household registration, and the Western Regions Liuqin who was pulled by a woman named Chai Dongdi.
To be precise, like Xie Xiquan, the Beiliang border army, which was fought with Beimang's barbarians, was all young, and the newly issued waist scalpel is even more so.
Cut off the head of the Beimang barbarian and stained blood for the knife. Compared to those who were so beautiful, Rouge County Lady, it was not bad at all!
This statement is very rough and vulgar, and I don’t know who first came out of his mouth.
Although he studied under Cao Changqing of Western Chu, he was born in Xie Xiqiu, who was in the alleys of the city, so he naturally liked it very much.
Xie Xiqian's military orders were conveyed one by one. The six thousand cavalry were divided into three parts according to the source, and the two most well-known cavalry and two towns were vanguards. They charged the cavalry of the Zhongtan tribe outside the exit of Miyun, clashing with the enemy's formation. If they gained profit, the entire army would advance together. If they failed to gain profit, as long as they stabilized their position, the Beimang cavalry could not successfully spread their formation outside the mountain pass. After a small battle, they would retreat, and the second refugee thousand cavalry rushed over. Then, the two thousand cavalry of the Chai Dongdi tribe would retreat. He personally led the five hundred elite dragon elephant army to press the formation. Once the Beimang cavalry appeared, he would
As the signs of breaking through the formation, Xie Xiqiu would let the five hundred dead soldiers' spirit cavalry, even if they were killed in battle, they would use their bodies to block the exit of Miyun Mountain Pass.
After parting ways with Cao Wei's Wanqi, the latter had handed over most of the cold crossbows and cavalry bows to Xie Xipri's cavalry.
The best situation is of course the elite cavalry of the Tan tribe, and the ordinary cavalry first rushed out of the Miyun Mountain Pass, but Xie Xiqian believed that the young man who leaned on the mouth of the gourd and the corpse of the northern Liang border army in Luanhe and became Xia Nabo would never be so careless.
Even if Zhong Tan is really not worthy of his name, then Xie Xiquan is more confident to get back the military achievements he made in the real battlefield that he made the first mistake.
Xie Xiqiu almost ordered the same order as Zhongtan in Yamaguchi, and then said the same words, "Change horses! Put on armor!"
———
After separating from Xie Xiqin, Cao Wei's ten thousand cavalry began to carry out a long-distance raid that was as fast as thunder, regardless of physical damage to the horse.
He directly bypassed Miyun Mountain Pass!
He wanted to break in at an entrance near the western end of Miyun Mountain Pass, then put himself in death and ran east quickly along the mountain pass, and finally got between the Zhongtan Cavalry and the monks of Lantu Mountain. He fought so hard that the six thousand cavalry in Xifeng could defend the east gate! He could wait until he could stab the Zhongtan Cavalry in the butt!
So when Cao Wei parted with Xie Xiqi, he half-true and half-false joked: My surname is Xie, General Cao is definitely going to be a man like Lao Liang Wang Xu Xiao. As a result, this time he tied his head to your Xie Xiqian's belt. Don't let me die young!
Xie Xici didn't say anything boldly at the time, just nodded.
When Xie Xici saw the short martial general galloping away, he turned his back to himself, raised his arm and stretched out his thumb.
I don’t know what Cao Wei’s unique meaning is, or what is the strangeness of the Northern Liang border army.
Ten thousand cavalry advanced, and their momentum was as big as a mountain collapse and tide.
Cao Wei's lips were chapped, and some blood was oozing, but his face was full of smiles and shouted: "I want to make the battle of Miyun Mountain Pass a heroic cavalry that is not inferior to Lu Shengxiang's snowy night, and Chu Lushan's thousand cavalry drove Shu! Cao Wei can die, but he cannot die without name!"
———
Although the Miyun Pass showed a closing momentum, like a woman's slender waist, it could still allow more than twenty riders to rush out side by side.
Previously, Xie Xici could see several riders running back to the mountain pass to convey military information with just his eyesight.
The war is about to break out.
However, the cavalry of the Zhongtan tribe rushed out faster and faster than expected.
So the fifty cavalry in Fengxiang and Linyao towns were dispersed in almost an instant.
Although the light crossbows in Beiliang had already fired volleys, and the arrows were pouring towards the exit like rain, and they quickly shot down twenty or thirty cavalry of Beimang, the overall momentum of the Beimang cavalry did not diminish.
Xie Xiqiu immediately changed his strategy and immediately ordered the five hundred Dragon Elephant Army dead soldiers to purgate and leave.
The corpses of both sides of the enemy and us are not enough, and they are far from enough to form a natural horse-blocking stake!
Xie Xiqin stopped horses half a mile outside the mountain pass, with only dozens of cavalry guards and six cavalrymen around him.
He was not the kind of fierce general who charged into battle. He had personally visited the battlefield and wiped out the veteran Yan Zhenchun, the Liyang Chunqiu general, and Xie Xiqiu, had never fought to kill the enemy.
It’s not that Xie Xici does not have the courage to kill people in anger, but that he is very clear that a commander who is alive to accurately give orders can lead his army to kill the enemy Yingye.
Xie Xiqin not only let the five hundred elite cavalry die, but even issued a military order. If he falls off his horse and does not die after fighting, please do your best to kill the horse in the formation!
Xie Xici remembered the faces with firm eyes. After hearing this order, almost everyone had a look of pain in their eyes, and finally they rode away silently.
After the five hundred dragon elephant spirits galloped to the battlefield quickly,
Xie Xiqiu gave a expressionless order to launch a half-fan formation for the two towns of cavalry that retreated slightly. Once the five hundred cavalry showed signs of retreating, or only fifty cavalry remained standing on the battlefield, he had to shoot at Miyun Mountain Pass without discrimination.
The deputy generals of the cavalry in Linyao and Fengxiang Town wanted to speak but stopped, and gritted their teeth to take the order.
Then Xie Xiqiu asked the Linyao Fengxiang cavalry to give up a passage for twenty cavalry to charge forward side by side at the top of the fan arc, and let a thousand vagrants be prepared in line, and all the guns and spears in the army were distributed to these vagrants with outstanding strength.
And temporarily picked out six hundred people who were good at riding, shooting, shooting, and sprinting, and formed an army alone, located in front of the fan of the cavalry in the two towns.
Xie Xici sat on the horse's back, looking at the battlefield that was so narrow that it could not be more narrow, and it was a strange battlefield where all the people and horses died.
Although he could not see the scene in Miyun Mountain Pass, he could fully imagine the dense iron armor there, constantly squeezing and clustering together, like a swarm of locusts and a nest of ant holes.
If there is a mistake in the intelligence in the Fushuifang, the monk soldiers of Lantu Mountain do not need to be rectified and gathered together, and they will be gathered together with the Zangtan Cavalry.
If the Caowei cavalry's advancement is not rapid enough, or if it appears on the battlefield, it is already at the end of its strength.
If he Xie Xiquan cannot defend this opening.
As long as there is a situation where one of the wars in Liuzhou will be in a state of decay as soon as they begin.
At this moment, Xie Xici for some reason, remembered the young man who seemed to always smile gently, the young man who personally suggested to himself to walk and see more outside Liangzhou Pass.
Xie Xiqiu took a deep breath and said to himself in a voice that he could only hear: "You have left five hundred seeds of reading for my Great Chu, Xie Xixi repaid his death?"
Chapter completed!
