Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 274 Zhu Quanzhong's previous tricks
Layers upon layers of corpses covered the entire bend of the Beida River, and the largest number were not the Guiyi soldiers or Uighur soldiers in armor, but the Suzhou Long family who only wore cloth robes.

As the main local ethnic group after the Han people evacuated from Suzhou, the Long family suffered heavy losses in this battle.

Back then, they were the masters of the two prefectures of Gansu, but after the Uighurs came to Ganzhou from the grasslands, the good life of the Long family began to be destroyed, so much so that today, they are regarded as cannon fodder to fill the ditch.

Most of the parapet built up of stones was demolished. On the battlefield paved with flesh and blood of the Long family, the decisive battle between the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs officially began.

The army of the Tang Dynasty and even the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty had an obvious characteristic, that is, they did not pay attention to the use of shields.

Because the combat power of the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties was very high, it was the last era in China when long-range throwing soldiers and melee soldiers were not separated.

At this time, the archers are all strong men who can shoot from a distance and dare to fight at a distance. If you see a soldier in the army who is not equipped with a bow or is not equipped with a bow, then he must be weak.

Many people complained that the number of crossbowmen in the Song Dynasty army was too large to fight hand-to-hand combat, and they would collapse once they were rushed. This is not a problem of equipment, but a problem of the quality of soldiers.

If in the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, an army equipped with strong bows and crossbows, it is best not to touch it, because they not only shoot fast and accurately, but also must be too fierce in hand-to-hand combat.

In this era of all-armed archers, it was still called Peng Pai's shield at this time, and its role was greatly weakened.

The prairie nation is here, draw the bow first and shoot the fuck, the enemy army is coming, draw the bow first and shoot the fuck, raise the shield?That's what cowards do.

Moreover, shields are not very effective in decisive battles involving more than [-] people. It is difficult to block the flat shooting of crossbow arrows, and it is also unable to defend against the rain of arrows thrown from the sky.

Although the Uighurs were several thousand more than the Guiyi Army, Luo Tongda and Yan Jin looked at each other and felt at ease.

In fact, what they were most afraid of was that the Uighurs relied on Suzhou City to confront them. In that case, all Zhang Zhao's previous plans would come to naught.

"Soldier and horse envoy, it seems that the rookie strategy you deliberately made on the battlefield has worked. These Uyghurs, even if they feel a little strange, are reluctant to let us go!"

Yan Jin put on the hood, and said to Luo Tongda who was also wearing armor beside him.

"Of course I can't bear it. Without the envoys coming back from Anxi, these 5000 people are all the soldiers of the rebel army who can fight. If they eat us, the city of Dunhuang will have to open its gates and surrender."

Luo Tongda smiled, pointed at Renyu Khan's banner in the distance, and said, "Actually, I'm also reluctant to let them go. If I can keep half of them, the Uighurs in Ganzhou will be seriously injured. We can at least take Suzhou back."

. . . .

There was a decisive battle outside Suzhou city, Zhang Zhao was still waiting, the distance of [-] miles, if he drove by force regardless of horsepower, he could arrive in a day, but he just arrived, without much combat capability.

So the key to this battlefield is that Luo Tongda and the others have reached the most difficult time, and it will take more than a day and a half.

Because Zhang Zhao needs to travel sixty miles in one day, and then launch a surprise attack twenty miles away the next day.

"Military envoy, You Yiqi from Ganzhou Uighur retreated from Jinta Jiashan!"

Murong Xinchang brought a dozen or so Murong family knights and rushed back for more than forty miles. Before they got off their horses, they screamed wildly on their horses.

Zhang Zhaoxuan finally let go of his heart. Jinta Jiashan is a small hill in the north of Suzhou City. Crossing this hill is Baitinghai, which was repaired by Zhang Zhao's 2000 people.

If these Uighurs from Ganzhou rode across the Jintajia Mountain, they would surely find the footprints of a large number of livestock.

This is bound to reveal the truth, so Zhang Zhao can only quickly capture and kill them, and then rush to the battlefield desperately.

Fortunately, they just searched for a while at the southern foot of Jintajia Mountain, and then went back.

"Leave in two days, and before dark, we must rush to the upper reaches of the Beida River [-] miles away, and we will not change people if we change horses!"

Zhang Zhao got on his horse, pointed at Li Cunhui and said, "One person and three horses, go as fast as you can to Jintajia Mountain, and break up the Uighurs You Yiqi who are patrolling there."

. . . .

An arrow hit Dunzhu's chest, even though he was wearing three layers of armor, he was still shaken by this arrow.

The severe pain spread all over his body in an instant, so that Dun Zhu didn't throw a spear in his hand, so there was no need to think that his chest must be covered with bruises.

"Crossbowmen, the Uyghur left tent crossbowmen are here! Let the god-armed archers come here!" Behind the formation, Luo Tongda, who was riding on a horse, quickly made adjustments.

The left tent crossbowmen are the elite troops of the Ganzhou Uighurs, with about 400 people, and they are often used to deal with difficult heavy armored targets.

Luo Tongda's eyes were red, because the founders of this army, the horned crossbows and related technologies they used were a past that the Guiyi army would gnash their teeth when they mentioned it.

In 907, when Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the Back Liang, the banner of the Guiyi Army to unite the hearts of the people collapsed, and the Tang Dynasty was gone, so why do you return?
In view of this situation, Zhang Zhao's father, Zhang Chengfeng, chose not to regard Zhu Liang as Zhengshuo, and established the Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty, calling himself the emperor in white.

Unexpectedly, this move completely angered Zhu Wen, in my opinion, Tang Quanzhong.

Li Keyong in Hedong, Yang Xingmi in Huainan, and Wang Jian in Jiannan refused to accept him, so he can bear it temporarily.

But you Guiyi Army hangs alone in Hexi, with a mouth of less than [-], and the trade route depends on the Central Plains, how dare you show me face?
So with the support and instigation of Zhu Wen, the Ganzhou Uighurs, who had originally intended to annex the Guiyi Army, began to frequently rub against the Guiyi Army.

The Battle of the Dunhuang Bridge, which led to Zhang Chengfeng's resignation, took place during this period.

In order to support the Uighurs in Ganzhou to attack the Guiyi Army, Zhu Wen not only did not allow the Guiyi Army to do business in the Central Plains.

The most important thing is to send officers to provide Ganzhou Uighurs with crossbowman instructors and horn bow crossbows and other production methods to restrain the heavy infantry that the Guiyi Army is good at.

The left tent crossbowmen trained by these Jianghuai crossbowmen from Zhuliang officers not only successfully gave the Ganzhou Uighurs a sharp weapon to restrain the Guiyi army's heavy infantry, but also caused a huge blow to the Guiyi soldiers' hearts.

Luo Tongda still remembered the first time he met the Uyghur left-tent crossbowmen on the battlefield, those crossbowmen holding Central Plains horned crossbows and attacking in Chinese array, made his eyes full of blood, and his eyes were tearing apart.

That kind of pain and anger, that kind of hopelessness that everything is meaningless, is still clearly engraved in Luo Tongda's mind.

"The left tent crossbowman! It's the left tent crossbowman!" Shouts and roars rang out from the mouths of every Guiyi soldier, even Yan Jin, a former junior officer in Shouchang Town, shouted.

During the battle between the Guiyi Army and the Uyghurs in Ganzhou, if the other Uyghurs who were captured had money to buy them back, they might be sent back, but if the left tent crossbowmen were caught, they would definitely be killed directly.

Soon, one hundred and fifty god-armed archers were called in, and Luo Tongda was waiting for this moment.

Zhang Zhao brought back more than a hundred from Anxi, and Cao Yijin imitated nearly fifty, so now Zhang Zhao has one hundred and fifty magic-armed archers.

Renyu Khan smiled complacently. Of course he knew that the left tent crossbowmen had caused the Guiyi Army the sense of despair of being abandoned and betrayed by his own people.

He also couldn't help admiring the wit of his father Renmei Khan. With the help of the Central Plains Dynasty, he turned the ambitious Guiyi Army, which aimed to once again have Hexi as the goal, into a dog guarding the family.

Who told you to be stupid?When the Tang Dynasty is dead, it will be dead. If you don’t hug the former Liang emperor’s thigh, you dare to show your face and call others usurpers. If you don’t get beaten, who will get beaten?
Now that he wanted to fight against his own [-] crossbowmen with [-] crossbowmen, he was courting death.

Amidst the angry roars of the soldiers on both sides, the rest of the battle sound on the battlefield seemed to have disappeared, only the footsteps of the [-] left tent crossbowmen of the Uighurs and the [-] god-armed archers of the Guiyi Army approaching each other.

Luo Yide stood in the first row, he was the captain of the Yumen Town Army, and Luo Tongda was his uncle.

The Luo family in Shazhou, as the family of the Guiyi Army and the Wuli family that has been handed down from the Zhang Yichao period to the present, must have abundant martial arts.

In the past, Luo Yide had no choice, he could only hang around in Yumen Town.But it's different now, Luo Yu'er, the younger brother of the same clan, came back from Anxi with Mr. Zhang Erlang, which made him almost collapse.

Thousands of treasures, good horses, good armor and good bows and crossbows. When he came back, he married his younger brother and bought a generous dowry for his younger sister. Luo Yuer himself will go to Lingyan Pavilion with Mr. Zhang Erlang.

It was at that moment that Luo Yide suddenly discovered that there is another way to live in life, so he begged his uncle Luo Tongda to go to Anxi with Mr. Zhang Erlang.

'Boom! 'A long arrow painted with white paint flew out of Luo Yide's hand.

"One hundred steps! Wind up! Squat in a row, stand in a row, step forward continuously, whoever dares to mess up the formation, go to the back to get a knife, don't hurt the big guy!"

Following Luo Yide's calibration and range measurement, an arrow flew from the opposite side and inserted in front of their formation.

It was shot by the Uyghur officer in charge of shooting. The Uyghur officer wearing a leather hat and chain mail waved at Luo Yide provocatively.

"Fuck your mother!" Luo Yide cursed fiercely, as if all the blood in his body rushed to his head.

Kill them, kill them all!There is nothing else in my mind, just thinking about this sentence over and over again.

The most tense moment came, adrenaline was secreted in a large amount, making everyone's head dizzy, and fell into an indescribable state, which relieved the fear of death and even weakened the pain caused by injury.

Luo Yide was the first to shoot arrows past the Uighur school, and the archers behind him also strode over.

There was a loud shout from the opposite side, and a pair of thick thighs also passed Luo Yide and just shot the school archery arrow.

"Bang! Woo!" There was a sound like a swarm of bees, and arrows shot out of the sky as if without warning. Luo Yide let go of his right hand, and the divine arm bow in his hand pushed the stringed crossbow furiously. out.

And at the moment when the crossbow arrow was shot, Luo Yide was also hit by the arrow, and a huge force pushed him to the ground.

As if he had been punched in the chest, Luo Yide only felt that his chest was empty, and the warm blood immediately filled his chest.
