I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 413, Crushing

Song Jian was originally a Qiang, and his subordinates were also Qiang, so he has connections with the leaders of various tribes in Xiqiang!The friendship between the two parties is very good. This time, the tyrants in Xiliang gave him a lot of money and food, enough for him to hire 5 to 6 Qiang soldiers!

So Song Jian's general and prime minister sent a lot of money and food to the Qiang tribes in Xihai, and these Qiang leaders happily agreed to Song Jian's employment.

This drought not only broke out in the Han Dynasty, but also affected the generation of Qiang tribes in Xihai. The lack of rain made the grasslands desert, and many cattle and sheep were starved to death. Although the tribes of the Qiang people can still eat wild vegetables and survive on grass roots, but These Qiang people know that as long as winter comes, they will freeze to death in pieces and starve to death, and now the food brought by Song Jian and the others is life-saving food for many tribes!
In a very short period of time, Song Jian recruited 3 Qiang cavalry, plus Song Jian's headquarters, and now Song Jian has a 4 times advantage in troops, which finally gave Song Jian a sense of security!

The story is divided into two parts. Wang Lei led an army of 1 and headed west all the way. He passed through Hanyang County, entered Longxi County and came to Daxia County. The soldiers pointed directly at Song Jian's lair!

After Wang Lei led the army to rest in Daxia County for a day, he suddenly came to report that Song Jian's army had assembled the main force, with a strength of more than 4, just a dozen miles away from Daxia City!

Knowing that Song Jian came to the door on his own initiative, Wang Dang called the supervisor Zhou Aimin, his subordinates Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Niu Fu and others to discuss the matter!

Zhou Aimin was the first group of orphans in Dagan. Back then, Wang Guojun was in power, but most of the orphans joined the Dagan army. This is what Xu Wei hoped to see. Their joining would strengthen his control over the army, because Zhou Aimin They are the confidantes of Dagan, and all the officers and soldiers in the army take care of them. Those with strong abilities have become the supervisors of an army of ten thousand people just like Zhou Aimin!
And Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Wang Dang were close friends. After Xu Wei captured Jizhou and killed Zhu Jun, Wang Dang took the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to join Xu Wei.And Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed Wang Dang to seek refuge with Xu Wei, and now they are the captains of Dagan!
Wang Dang looked at Niu Fu and said, "Didn't it mean that Song Jian only had 1 Guiyi Huqi, how come there are 4 more? Can a poor place like Longxi County support [-] troops, or cavalry?"

Although Xu Wei ordered Wang Dang to attack Song Jian, he knew that Xiliang had a vast territory. Without a local as a guide, Wang Dang might not be able to find Song Jian, so he arranged for Niu Fu to be Wang Dang's guide and let him lead Wang Dang When you find Song Jian!
Niu Fu thought for a while and said, "Song Jian must have only 1 cavalry, so he has to raise these cavalry and find a way to feed himself. The extra 3 cavalry is probably because Song Jian knows that we are going to deal with him and find the Xiqiang people. Recruitment, after all, we in Xiliang are having a hard time because of the drought, and we need to grab food to survive.

It is even more difficult for the Qiang people in Xihai to survive. Now in Xiliang, as long as there is a bag of grain, a Qiang soldier can be hired!It's just that I'm surprised that Bai Songjian's financial resources can recruit 3 Qiang soldiers. Even though Xiliang is living in a difficult situation, the cost of raising 3 cavalry is not small. It is impossible for Song Jian to have such financial resources! "

Yan Liang sneered and said: "What's so strange about this! Although the main force of the Xiliang army was wiped out in the first battle, they will of course resist if they want to divide the land of Xiliang Haoqiang, and this Song Jian is Xiliang Haoqiang Made it out! The ruler wants to make an example to others, and I’m afraid that Xiliang’s tyrants will also want to warn us by supporting Song Jian, they are still capable of fighting!”

Wen Chou said with a smile: "It's the Xiliang Haoqiang's usual method to raise the bandits' self-respect! But I think this is not bad, as long as we kill Song Jian, the Xiliang Haoqiang will know that the difference in strength between Dagan and them is no longer a matter of numbers. Make up for it!"

Zhou Aimin sneered and said: "The government has also started to be soft-hearted. The Xiliang army was wiped out by us. At that time, we should have raided the homes of Xiliang tyrants, divided their fields, and used some means of killing chickens to scare monkeys. This is to break the law." What's the use of killing chickens to scare monkeys after destroying the foundation of their family? The best way to deal with these tyrants is to kill them all!"

When Niu Fu heard this, he broke out in cold sweat, and the general's murderous intent was too heavy, and he would kill all the tyrants in a state at every turn!

Niu Fu asked nervously: "Song Jian's soldiers and horses have far exceeded our expectations. Are we asking Lei Gong for help?"

Wang Dangdao: "It's just some local chickens and dogs. If there is no need to ask for help, our army is enough to defeat them!"

Not long after, Song Jian's [-] troops finally arrived at Daxia City, and Song Jian commanded the soldiers to set up camp not far from Daxia City!

The next day!

Song Jian's 4 troops all went to battle, and Wang Dang was not to be outdone, leading an army of 1 to confront Song Jian!

Song Jian went out and shouted, "Wang Dang, why did you invade our border!"

Wang Dang also came out and said: "It seems that someone really tipped you off, and you still know the name of this general!"

Song Jian said: "This shows that you are unpopular in Xiliang. Now I have 4 troops in my hands. If you don't want the whole army to be wiped out, leave Longxi County as soon as possible!"

Wang Dang laughed loudly and said, "Among our Yellow Turban Army, you can't even be the Commander-in-Chief of Qu, yet you still dare to call yourself the Great King. I'll cut off your dog's head today!"

Song Jian said angrily: "Whoever cut off Wang Dang's dog's head for this king, I will reward him with a thousand gold!"

As soon as Song Jian's words fell, thousands of Qiang cavalry rushed towards Wang Dang!

As soon as Wang Dang waved his hand, the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion were ready!Because it is inconvenient to carry a few hundred kilograms of bronze cannons on the road this time, Wang Dang's artillery battalion uses lightweight flying thunder cannons. There are hundreds of them in total, and these cannons are in a state of being ready to go!
When these Qiang cavalry entered the range of the artillery battalion.

Wang Dang shouted, "Fire!"

"Shhhhhh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Hundreds of flying thunder cannons fired at the same time, and 2000 jin of gunpowder exploded at the same time. The entire battlefield was like a hell of thunder.

Song Jian, who was behind him, was surprised to see thousands of cavalrymen being defeated by a round of artillery. The power of this artillery is really well-deserved. If it weren't for the Qiang people exploring the way this time, his subordinates would have suffered heavy losses now!

The smoke from the battlefield cleared, leaving only hundreds of fallen Qiang soldiers, and thousands of terrified Qiang soldiers fled to the rear of Song Jian's army. Obviously, they had completely lost their fighting power!

But Wang Dang saw that Song Jian did not attack at all and said: "The artillery battalion advances 50 steps! The army protects the soldiers of the artillery battalion!"

Under Wang Dang's command, the Dagan army kept approaching Song Jian's army, and the artillery battalion was at the forefront of the attack!

But after covering Song Jian's army within the range of the artillery, Wang Dang said loudly: "Fire!"

"Shhhhhh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

A new round of artillery shells hit Song Jian's army. This time, Song Jian's soldiers understood the power of the artillery and fled the range of the artillery attack, but not many people escaped. This round of artillery attack caused Song Jian's army to attack. Casualties of thousands of soldiers!

Dagan's artillery is so powerful that Song Jian's subordinates have no morale at all!
When Dagan's artillery battalion moved towards them again, the soldiers in front followed suit, but the soldiers behind them didn't know what happened in front of them, and they collided together, causing Song Jian's army to be in chaos!

Seeing this situation, General Song Jian ran to Song Jianjian and said, "My lord, if we continue to retreat, we will be defeated without a fight. Although this artillery is powerful, the interval between each attack is not short. As long as we A round of shelling is enough for our cavalry to rush in front of the artillery, and then the artillery will be useless. We have [-] of us and we have the advantage!"

Song Jian's prime minister also said: "As long as we disperse the army, the damage will be lower! Your Majesty, we have no way out now!"

Song Jian thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's divide our troops into three groups. General, you attack the left wing of the Dagan army, and the prime minister will lead the army to attack the right wing of the Dagan army. I will lead the Chinese army to go straight to the Dagan army!"

Then Song Jian's general shouted to his subordinates: "Soldiers charge with me, kill!"

Tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry followed General Song Jian to detour and attack the left flank of the Dagan Army!And Prime Minister Song Jian led tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry to detour and attack the right wing of Dagan County!These two groups of people rushed away like two long dragons!

And Song Jian also faced his own army, encouraging morale: "Brothers, the artillery fires for a long time, as long as you rush to die, you will be a big army!"

But few people are willing to follow Song Jian to face the artillery, this power has scared everyone!

Seeing the demoralized army, Song Jian gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you charge with me, each of you can get 10 shi of food!"

These grains are enough for the Qiang family to survive this harsh winter. Such a high overweight immediately restored the morale of Song Jian's army, and the army finally rushed to the middle army again!
Wang Dang sneered when he saw Song Jian's three-way attacking army!
From the binoculars, he could see that the equipment of Song Jian's three-way army was not much different from that of beggars. These Qiang soldiers were only wearing sheepskin jackets. Facing the steel knives of the big soldiers, they were basically one knife at a time. Song Jian The best equipped is the tens of thousands of Guiyi Huqi in his headquarters, who barely have leather armor and a shiny iron sword.But Wang Dang's [-] soldiers are all wearing iron armor, and ordinary swords can leave at most one mark!And Song Jian's soldiers couldn't resist Dagan's steel knife, no matter whether it was a sheepskin jacket or a leather armor!

In terms of equipment, there is already a modern gap between the two sides. They will be bombed to death by artillery in long-distance combat, and they will also be crushed by the equipment of the big army in close combat!

Wang Dang ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead 3000 people to resist the attack of Song Jian's left and right armies!
And Wang Dang ordered the soldiers of the artillery battalion to fire another round of artillery!

"Shhhhhh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Because Song Jian commanded the army to disperse this round of artillery, there were fewer casualties, but it only frightened a large number of war horses and made them stay on the battlefield for a longer period of time.

But under the reward of Song Jianfenghou, after the soldiers were attacked by artillery this time, they did not turn around and run away, but continued to charge towards the Dagan Zhongjun!

Seeing this, Wang Dang shouted: "The artillery battalion retreats, and the cavalry battalion prepares to charge!"

After speaking, Wang Dang drew out his saber and commanded: "Kill all the enemies!"

The 3000 cavalry behind him also shouted to kill the enemy!The soldiers of the artillery battalion pushed the artillery to retreat to the rear of the battle formation!

The cavalry on both sides approached so quickly, and when the two cavalry came within 100 paces, each side fired a round of bows and arrows!
But Wang Dang and the others were protected by iron armor and basically had no casualties, but Song Jian and the others did not have such good treatment. More than [-] long arrows brought Song Jianhao hundreds of soldiers again.

However, the attack of bow and arrow was within the comprehension range of Song Jian's soldiers. Even if so many soldiers were taken away, the morale of Song Jian's soldiers did not drop much!

When Song Jian was about to border Wang Dang, he did not directly carry out the most brutal hand-to-hand killing, but led the cavalry slowly around the periphery of Wang Dang's cavalry. He wanted to use the method of cavalry and shooting to kill a large number of people. Great army!

Song Jian saw that the Dagan army was well-equipped and powerful artillery, and felt that the only advantage of his army was riding and shooting, so he wanted to use the bows and arrows in his hand to massacre the Dagan army!

And Wang Dang did as he wished. Song Jian felt that he had the advantage in cavalry and archery, but Wang Dang also thought that he had the advantage in cavalry and archery. You must know that the cavalry of the Dagan Army are all Xianbei, Huns, and Karasuma. Due to the limited financial revenue, there are only 8 cavalry in the entire standing army. Don't look at the small number. The Eastern Han government may not have so many cavalry at its peak.

But for Dagan, this number is nothing. If the finances are sufficient, Dagan can arm 30, 40, or even 50 elite cavalry. After all, there are more than 600 million herdsmen on Dagan's territory. The number is close to 200 million, and all of them are warriors who are good at fighting, riding and shooting.

Every major army cavalry stands out from dozens of companions. These cavalry are proficient in hand-to-hand combat, cavalry and shooting, and various cavalry tactics!So Biqishe Wangdang is absolutely confident that he can defeat Song Jian's army!

Sure enough, there were only a few rounds of riding and shooting. Wang Dang's cavalry could take the lives of hundreds or even thousands of enemies in each round of riding and shooting. Although Song Jian's number was 4-5 times larger than Wang Dang's.But Song Jian's subordinates are mainly Qiang people. Not only are their swords and armor poor, but even the bows with their fingers are not as far away as those of the Dagan army. The long arrows are not as good as all the steel arrows of the Dagan army. Made of bones, even leather armor may not be able to shoot, let alone iron armor.Even if the soldiers of Song Jian hit the soldiers of the Dagan army with their long arrows, their bones can only be broken by the long arrow!Only a few unlucky ones were shot at the horses or, shot at the gaps in the armor and fell down!

It can be said that the gap between the two sides in bows and arrows is even greater!Wang Dang and their casualties have not exceeded a hundred, and Song Jian has already lost more than 3000 soldiers!
Such a large number of casualties made Song Jian's picture cake useless. The Qiang soldiers saw that the Dagan army could not be shot no matter how they shot, and their companions had already lost thousands of people.

Finally, a soldier couldn't bear the pressure of death and fled to the rear, and this fleeing soldier seemed to be a signal, two, three soldiers began to flee, and then hordes of soldiers fled to escape the battlefield!No matter how Song Jian blocks it, it won't work!

Wang Dang saw the soldiers of Song Jian's army collapse and shouted: "The whole army charges, don't let the enemy run away!"

And he yelled at Song Jian who was not far away: "Song Jian, where can I escape!"

Song Jian, who was trying to stop the soldiers from escaping, saw Wang Dang rushing towards him, and even ignored his own soldiers. When he lost the soldiers, he also fled to the rear!

But where Wang Dang could let Song Jian escape, he shot and killed Song Jian's horse with the bow and arrow in his hand.

The war horse suffered pain and directly threw Song Jian on the battlefield!

At this time, Wang Dang rode his horse and pointed his spear at Song Jian!

Song Jian immediately threw himself into the air and said, "Forgive me!"
