Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 216 Comprehensive Defense
The loss of Anyi is also within the acceptable range of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After all, their combat goal has always been to drive away the Song army, not to attack the Song army in turn.

Abandoning the city, on the contrary, can give full play to the power of the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Liu Yu on the opposite side obviously knew this too.

After defeating Anyi, Liu Yu was not in a hurry to attack, but began to repair Anyi, intending to build Anyi as a bridgehead for the Song army to resist the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In this way, after the Song army captured Anyi, they became a little timid, and did not dare to go out to fight with the Northern Wei cavalry easily.

That day Liu Yu stood on the city wall in the north of Anyi and looked into the distance. There was a large area of ​​cooking smoke there, which was the camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

And the surrounding environment has also drawn out a little bit of verdant green from the initial decline, which is a sign that spring is about to enter.

"It's not an option to procrastinate like this."

The supply line of the Song army was much longer than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

From the south to the east of the river, for every ten shi of grain shipped, five shi of grain would be consumed on the road.

Even if Liu Yu's family has a big business, they can't tolerate such consumption.

"Moreover, Che Shi wrote to me a few days ago, saying that He Shangzhi, the governor of Bozhou, inferred that Jiangnan might experience a drought. This cannot be delayed any longer."

Liu Yizhen can handle other things, but he really has nothing to do with this drought in a short time.

Every day the army is on the front line, the food consumed is an astronomical figure.If there is another drought, Liu Yu will have to withdraw his troops.

"It's better to end the war this summer."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes became firm.

"Tomorrow, we will launch a general attack on the Wei army camp in the direction of Pingyang!"

Even at the cost of the lives of some soldiers, Liu Yu decided to forcibly charge the Northern Wei defense line.

Suddenly, there was another throbbing in Liu Yu's chest, which made him unconsciously cover the painful part again.

"I can still hold on."

After a long time, Liu Yu raised his head again and forced himself to swallow something.

That kid Che Shi said, and I'm still waiting for my triumphant sound, I have to finish these things!
the next day.

Finally, there was movement again in the camp of the Song Army.

This time was different from the previous ones. The Song Army's army was the first to launch tall chariots.

Chariot soldiers are undoubtedly the most capable of resisting cavalry, and their size is not weaker than that of cavalry, so that they can firmly resist the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The only downside is that it has less mobility.

But this Hedong is not Hebei or the Central Plains after all, and there is no place for the Northern Wei cavalry to gallop their horses at all, so they can only move around in one place.

In this way, the chariot can be regarded as the winning weapon of the Song army.

The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty obviously also saw the rows of stations of the Song Army, and couldn't help frowning.

"A chariot again!"

This kind of old-fashioned tactic has come to fruition in Liu Yu's hands, and everyone also has a headache when facing the chariot.

Especially when the cavalry on horseback charged towards the infantry and towards the chariot, they had completely two senses.

One is a body of flesh and blood, and the other is a lump of wood, and some of the lumps of wood are even wrapped with animal skins or iron plates.

Not to mention the role of the chariot, just the strong sense of psychological oppression makes people retreat three points.

only……

At this point, the Northern Wei Dynasty could no longer retreat.

If it were not for the flat bottom of Pingyang, it would be a mountainous area beyond.

It was completely Song Jun's home field there.

Just as the Song Army would not be so stupid as to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty on the Great Plains, the Northern Wei Dynasty would not be so stupid as to fight the Song Army in the mountains.

"The whole army is attacking, this time, Liu Yu must be blocked here!"

Tuoba Si saw that Liu Yu was going to attack in an all-round way, so he was naturally ready to fight.

The horses are galloping, and the chariots are thundering.

The familiar voice makes people seem to have returned to the ancient battlefields of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Back then, Qin and Jin used chariots and cavalry to compete for world supremacy in this small river east.

In the past, cavalry defeated chariots, but now, it is not always the case!
Each chariot of the Song Army has [-] soldiers coordinating with each other. Ten of them hold large shields and short blades, and ten of them hold long halberds and iron spears. Using the chariot as a barrier, they carefully stare at the Northern Wei cavalry on the opposite side.

Seeing that the Song army's chariot formation was getting closer and closer and began to oppress the space for the Northern Wei cavalry to attack, Tuoba Si did not hesitate any longer.

"charge!"

Thousands of war horses moved on the ground.

The original chaotic footsteps gradually became orderly after a period of torrential, just like the sound of thunder coming from the ancient times, rushing towards the formation of cars with great momentum.

And the Song army's car formation also stopped advancing, turning into a solemn ancient stone statue, welcoming the baptism without saying a word.

Five hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

The soldiers of the Song army at the front raised their halberds and roared with the most fierce voice: "Fight!"

"war!"

With a loud bang, the two most elite armies in the world once again fought together.

The armored horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty slammed into the Song Army's chariot with all their strength. Some of them wailed and then fell silent, some began to struggle in pain, and some directly rushed past the Song Army's first layer of chariots. .

When two armies meet, there is no room for breathing.

An anxious and suffocating atmosphere passed through the formations of the two armies, and no one was spared.

Horses were pierced and chariots smashed apart.

The battlefield at this moment is only tragic.

This is a game of equal strength, and the fight is no longer about whose equipment is better or whose tactics are better.

It only depends on which side wants to win more, or... wants to live more!

This is the nature of war.

Strangulation!

From the back, Liu Yu looked expressionlessly at the flesh and blood mills intertwined by the two armies, but he was muttering words.

"wrong."

"Ok?"

Xie Hui next to him looked at Liu Yu in confusion.

"The number is wrong."

A bright light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

"The number of cavalry in the Northern Wei Dynasty is wrong! It is impossible for Tuoba Si to stay behind when the whole army goes to battle, unless he wants to die here like this!"

This kind of strangulation without any technical content, every extra person has one more chance.

Even if Jiang Shang and Han Xin are resurrected, there is no room for manipulation.

But Liu Yu keenly discovered that the number of cavalry in the Northern Wei Dynasty was much smaller.

"It's impossible for Tuoba Si to hide the cavalry. This East River is not Hebei, so there is no room for him to detour and attack!"

"So those cavalrymen must not be here!"

Liu Yu closed his eyes, but the map around Hedong appeared in his mind.

If I were Tuoba heir, where would I send the cavalry?
At this time, Tuoba Si, who was on the opposite side, also looked at the tragic situation in the middle of the battlefield with a pale face.

Although an average chariot can deal with three cavalry, the Song Army can undoubtedly crush the Northern Wei cavalry in terms of numbers.

And now the elites of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the middle of the battlefield are all real Xianbei people, the fresh blood of the Xianbei family.

Every death means that the future potential of the Northern Wei Dynasty will be reduced by one point.

It will only make it more difficult for Xianbei, who is already struggling to rule Hebei.

"but……"

Now is not the time to think about this!
As long as Liu Yu can be defeated, these are trivial matters.

"Mu Guan, Qiu Dui, you two must give me success!"
