Chapter 113 The Army of the Northwest (1)
Half a day later, dust and sand outside the reaction rose, and the 20,000 Wei troops were led to the retreat in a hurry. Jia Fu and Zhou Zhi, who were full of wine and food, should have worked hard to resist the Shu army's response. Fortunately, the Shu army was just a partial army to pursue it, and slowly retreated after a little battle.
When they saw Jia Fu and others here, they were not allowed to see each other. The generals and the dynasty were generals, and they were all good generals. Although they had no close friends with each other, they were quite appreciative.
After entering the camp, Jie Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Jiang Boyue is worthy of the general of Shu, and his military strategy is far above Jie Mou. After several battles, he may be defeated by Du Yuankai's entrusted... Alas!"
When talking about the great defeat, Jia Fu and Zhou Zhi were naturally unwilling to interrupt. Zhou Jun took the slogan at the right time and said, "Xuchang means to attract the troops of Shu Han with us. Hulao's troops should take the opportunity to use Heihe No. 1 troops to recover Luoyang. The general uses his army to block the main troops of Shu Han. How can he be considered defeat?"
Jie Shi nodded, shook his head again and said, "The victory or defeat of Luoyang is unknown. If we protect the rear of Wancheng, if there is any mistake, it will really lead the wolf into the house!"
After eating enough, Jia Fu recovered a little bit of energy and his mind quickly turned around: "The only famous generals of the Shu army on the west side of the Shu army are Jiang Wei and Liu Yin. Even if Jiang Wei is not here, Liu Yin is also difficult. Who is Xuchang leading the troops?"
Jie Shi's expression became heavier and said: "It doesn't matter who leads the army. I only know that Jiang Wei and Liu Yin both came south. If there is a Shu army in Luoyang, it will definitely be a person who feels very relieved - unless the Shu army abandons Luoyang!"
"Oh?" Jia Fu was also surprised when he heard this. Jiang Wei and Liu Yin guarded the Western battlefield for nearly ten years. They have strong combat power and excellent intelligence. Although they have few achievements, they will cause headaches for the Wei army every time they go out. If it weren't for the natural danger of Hulao Pass and the Wei army in Henoi were eyeing each other through the Yellow River, even if the Shu army attacked the city of Xuchang at this time, it would be nothing strange.
After Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, and three others, even though there were many talents in the Wei Kingdom, no one could reach the point of being able to go along with Jiang Wei or compete with Jiang Wei. Even Du Yu and Du Yuankai, who are now in power, are all civil and military under Jiang Wei!
Jiang Wei gathered various tribes such as Qiang and Rong in Guanxi as combat power, and the cavalry and spearmen were very sharp. Liu Yin trained Han soldiers and generals, and was unique. The two blocked each other on the Western battlefield, making the Wei army attack Luoyang for many years and it was difficult to get something. Now that they are working together to go south, is it because the Shu army gave up Luoyang?
If so, I believe that the Wei army in Xuchang will come here to provide assistance soon. If not, the result will be even more terrifying. If so, it will be more terrifying. If so, on the Western battlefield, in addition to Jiang Wei and Liu Yin, Wei will face a man highly valued by Jiang Wei as his new opponent...
"Although this place is a throat place, it is probably difficult to resist the Shu Han army. Can there be any movement in the direction of Wancheng?" The system of the Resolution was not sure about blocking the footsteps of the Shu army. At best, his own troops were just delaying time.
After looking at Jia Fu and Zhou Zhi, Zhou Jun said helplessly: "Shu general Luo Xian has already killed near Wancheng, Du Wuku has mobilized Xinye troops to support, and it will take some time for reinforcements here..."
Luo Xian was originally the opponent of Jia Fu and Zhou Zhi, but at this time he came to Du Yu in Wancheng. It was obvious that the Shu army advanced straight in. The reason was that Jia Fu and Zhou Zhi left their posts without permission. At this time, Du Yu did not issue any instructions on the two of them, and they could only guess each other when they heard this...
"Since the reinforcements have to wait, you and I have to hold on. General Jia and General Zhou don't have to worry too much. If we defeat the Shu army here, it will be considered a failure. The Shu army is raging now, and it is time to use people, so we must rely on them!" Jie Shi also understood Jia Fu and Zhou Zhi and the others' concerns. The story was told at this time, which made the two of them feel quite at ease.
What other than this, what else can I do?
The next morning, the sound of war drums outside the camp was heard, and the Shu army was in an orderly manner, preparing to attack the camp. On the Wei army's camp building, the four men stood side by side, watching the Shu army gradually approaching, and the formation was so shocking that the camp building was shaking a little.
The spear is like a forest and the flags are like mountains. Looking around, the Shu army is spread all over the plains, forests, soil hills, and even the high mountains in the distance, there are countless red "Han" flags floating.
The silver shields were neatly arranged in front of the array, and the sun shone on the shield, reflecting dazzling light. This item alone shows that the Shu army's fighting tools are excellent, and the soldiers are carefully maintained and wiped. Behind the rectangular shield, there are strong men standing, and the armor forged by fine iron is divided into two large pieces, protecting the front and back respectively.
Under the armpits and beside the body, there are rope buckles connecting the two pieces of armor tightly tied. The tightly wrapped body looks even more upright and fearless under the protection of the armor, and the red cloak symbolizing Shu Han is exposed from the armor, complementing the flying flag.
From the armor hanging from the upper body to the lower body, it is divided into several pieces, just like the hem of the clothes and the cover of the skirt, which cleverly covers the thighs and protects the buttocks. On the battlefield, life and death are fighting, and it is not uncommon to cut any part of the body. If you cover one more point, you will lose one chance of injury.
As an ordinary soldier, it is already like a dream to have such a large area of armor. You must know that even a regular army in this era rarely has full armor equipment and fighting tools. Otherwise, why would Pan Feng’s descendant, General Pan Sheng, should be coveted by Cao Gen’s elite soldiers?
Twenty-five shield players are in one row, fifteen of them are in one team, and one team is in one team. There are more than 3,000 shield players lined up in front of the Wei army camp. They stand in an orderly manner from far to near, and the formation is very strict, which makes people daunting.
After the shield formation, a giant spear, a 16-foot-long spear stands tall, like a forest, and cannot be counted. Spears were common in this era, but the giant spears in the hands of the Shu army were long handles made of good wood. From the beginning to the end, they were cut into a piece of wood without any impurities added to it. Not only did they feel good, but they could eat and live.
The three-foot-long sharp blade at the top of the giant spear is embedded in the long handle, and is wrapped in iron pieces on both sides, making it tight and sturdy. The sharp blades are a group, rather than a single one, divided into cross-shaped and fixed long handles. They are suitable for various tricks, and even for making large axes, hammers, and long shovels. Compared with ordinary spears and spears and swords, this weapon uses more ways to use. Those who can master such giant spears must be warlike people who are proficient in martial arts!
Mixed between the giant spear quadrons is the crossbowmen of Shu Han. The crossbowmen are responsible for long-range attacks on the battlefield and can be adjusted at any time according to the needs of the battle situation, and can advance or retreat, and are flexible and changeable. The crossbowmen of Shu Han also has a earth-red lining, but the outer cover is not the two-leaf armor popular in the army, but the soft armor.
The soft armor is just an armor for generals to protect themselves in their robes. It has certain benefits for counteracting damage, but it is limited. The software worn by the crossbowmen in the Shu army is unique and exquisite. According to the characteristics of the crossbowmen who are suffering from long-range attacks in most situations, the three-layer soft armor is produced.
There are many vines in the southern barbarians, with a wide variety and a complete variety. After collection, it is soaked and dried, and it is repeatedly processed to make the inner layer of soft armor, which is close to the body. The vine armor soldiers who were famous at that time adopted this method, but the century-old vine is hard to come by. They use soft armor made of ordinary vines and absorb the production process of vine armor, but it is not the traditional vine armor.
The middle layer uses common iron armor. Even if the armor is forged by thin iron sheets, it covers the outer periphery of the rattan armor, which is very effective in dealing with sharp stings and blunt attacks, and can well offset external forces.
The outer layer adopts animal skins. Whether it is the Southern Barbarian Baiyue, or even the Western Qiang Rongdi, they all have the habit of using animal skins to make armor clothes. Although the animal skins cannot be called tough, they are attached to the outer covers of soft armors, which are very useful for long-range damage.
Whenever the city is attacked by a catapult, the defending army will put down the cowhide and animal skin to offset the damage of the stones, especially after being soaked in water, it will become more tenacious.
The soft armor fits, and the longbow behind it is even more exciting. In addition to the materials used, the power of the bow and arrow also depends on the standard of the bow and crossbow and the power of the shooter. Jiang Wei has been in the northwest for many years. The soldiers and generals in the army use the first-class materials from Shu Han, and even His Majesty Liu Chan's Imperial Guard is three points inferior. So how bad is this bow?
After watching for a long time, Jie Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Such an excellent soldier is rare in the world..." After sighing lightly, more than a hundred drums in the Shu army formed amidst the sound of the war, opening the prelude to the war!
