Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 62
"Very good, let He Bayong lead the cavalry to retreat to the rear of the chariot formation first, he is the cavalry general!" Wang Wenzuo raised his arms so that Sancho could put on the breastplate for himself, and said loudly: "You Go command the troops, Gu Cihang has all the scorpions ready, don't fire without my order!"

"Yes!" Shen Faseng responded, yanked his mount, turned the horse's head and ran back, and the dust splashed on Wang Wenzuo's face.

"This bastard is still the same!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you already let the big cart occupy the high ground last night!" Sanqiu smiled as he helped Wang Wenzuo put on the skirt armor, "We have scorpions, and they will hit your face with blood!"

"It's just blood?" Wang Wenzuo hung his saber on his waist and said with a sneer, "I'm going to smash their brains out, Sancho, you will follow me today and be my messenger!"

When Wang Wenzuo finished his attire, the sun rose from the horizon, and pink fingers stretched out from the east.The western sky was a deep purple, dotted with a few stars.This is not the first time he has seen the sunrise, but I don't know if this will be the last time he will see it in this life!Wang Wenzuo thought to himself, maybe he will never be able to laugh at life and death like a real warrior, but at least he can hide his fear deep in his heart.

The sound of the horn came from a distance, with a low and sad voice, which made the soul shudder. It was the response of the people of Baekje.Under the urging of the officer, Tang Jun walked into his ranks in an orderly manner. The carts were connected into a circle, and the void in the middle was filled with long cards and antlers. The "Scorpion" was pushed onto the cart, and the metal parts on it gleamed coldly in the morning light.

Wang Wenzuo jumped on his horse and scanned the battlefield. After several days of sunny days, most of the snow on the ground melted away, leaving only a little residual snow.It can be clearly seen that the land around the hill is rugged, and the west side is slippery and muddy, with a low and gentle uphill slope, extending to the road and heading north.To the east is rocky, broken terrain.The hills are dotted with trees, but most of the trees here have been cut down and turned into farmland; only the land on the south side is relatively flat.This terrain is actually more beneficial to the Baekje people, because after losing the arsenal and horse farm in the capital, the quality of the cavalry of the Restoration Army is far inferior to that of the Tang Army. The few battles they won were won in valleys and hills that were not conducive to cavalry galloping. of.

With the sound of rumbling drums, the Baekje people had already appeared. They emerged from the top of the hills all over the mountains, like molten magma, hiding behind the barriers composed of spears and shields, and advancing with the rhythm of the drums.

"Damn it, the number of enemies must be more than 3000!" Wang Wenzuo cursed inwardly. The leader of the Baekje people was riding an armored horse, surrounded by their tribal soldiers, and their family flag was held high on the flag head. The soldiers of the brigade, the white flag symbolizing the king of Baekje can be seen everywhere, where is the enemy's main general?Wang Wenzuo tried his best to search, but found nothing.

The striker of the Baekje people had already stepped into the range of the scorpion, but Tang Jun did not open fire. According to Wang Wenzuo's prior instructions: bring the enemy closer before firing. The true range of the Scorpion is unknown.But at this time Wang Wenzuo was a little guilty, the number of enemies seemed a bit too much.

The sound of the bugle sounded in the formation of the Fuguo Army, and the Baekje people stopped. They were like a huge slime, slowly spreading out, surrounding the hillock from the east, west, and north. Wang Wenzuo roughly estimated that After a while, the number of enemies should be between [-] and [-].There is no longer any delay!he told himself.

"Sancho, order the scorpion to open fire and aim at the place where there are many bandits' flags!"

Heizhi Changzhi looked coldly at the formation of Tang army vehicles on the mound. In his opinion, this is not a big problem. After all, the mound is only about 100 meters high and not steep, and the number of his own side is at least equal to that of the enemy. Four times as much, if the circle is short of one, the battle should be over before lunch.He was about to give the order to blow the trumpet to attack, when the flag officer not far to the left suddenly fell off his horse, and the flag also fell, causing a commotion.

"You idiot, raise the banner!" Hei Chi Changzhi was furious. On the battlefield, the three armies only obeyed the banner. Since ancient times, there have been countless battles where the three armies were defeated because of the downfall of the banner. Fortunately, the battle has not yet started.

"General, look!"

Hei Chi Changzhi shuddered, and saw that the flag officer had been pierced through the chest by a three-foot short mark, and he was already dead. Could it be that Tang Jun shot it?But here is at least two hundred steps away from the car formation!Could it be that they encountered the powerful crossbows of the Tang army under the city of Sibi again?Black Tooth often rang out the short spear that had sunk deep into the tree trunk, and couldn't help shivering.

Wow -!
With a shrill neigh, Hei Chi Chang Zhi hurriedly turned his head, and saw not far away a soldier fell from his horse's back to the ground, his mount was pierced through the horse's belly by a short javelin, and he fell to the ground, neighing in pain with.

"Idiot, kill the horse!" Hei Chi Chang Zhi cursed loudly with a livid face.The soldier drew his sword and stood beside the horse with tears streaming down his face, but he couldn't do anything for a while.The others hurriedly drew their swords and cut off the horse's neck, and that was all.

On the Tang army's chariot formation, the crossbowman turned the crank handle, and there was a crisp sound of collision between the machine bracket and the ratchet, and there was a dull sound of pulling the trigger from time to time.After the modification, the torsion ballista has realized the function of automatic loading and stringing. The operator only needs to continuously put the spear into the rectangular arrow slot, and at the same time, the other person keeps turning the handle, and the machine can be continuously and automatically wound. Whenever the winding is completed, the mechanism bracket at the bottom of the arrow groove will automatically open, allowing the short spear to fall into the slide rail, without the need to manually reload each time, and the firing speed can be increased to seven to eight rounds per minute, which is no less than that of the spear. It's better than a single soldier's bow and crossbow.

"This, this is simply harvesting wheat!" He Bayong saw the improved ballista for the first time, and he saw that under the condescending shot of the ballista, the Baekje people who were two hundred steps away fell down in a row. , like wheat under a sickle, shields and armor are meaningless in front of this kind of machinery. The attacked Baekje army has begun to retreat in chaotic formation. The sound is in stark contrast.

"Adjust, attack the enemy in the rear!" Gu Cihang's voice was high-pitched, he was already a little over excited, of course he knew the power of scorpions, but it was beyond his imagination to have such an effect, the ancients said that "soldiers are not bloody" is just an exaggeration Words, but today Tang Jun is likely to be able to defeat an enemy three times his own without even a little blood on his sword and spear.

　In the recent discussion forum, I saw several book friends asking whether the 76 households in Baekje are too many. This is recorded in the New Tang Book, Old Tang Book, and Zi Zhi Tong Jian.Among them, the original text of the 37th volume of "Zizhi Tongjian": There are five parts of Baekje, which are divided into 76 counties, 250 cities, and 30 households.In addition, it is recorded in the "Su Dingfang Weiji Le Ming" at the bottom of the five-story stone pagoda in Dinglin Temple, Buyeo City, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea: "[-] counties in Thirty-seven Prefectures, [-] households, and [-] million population", I think the latter counts There are [-] people in one household, which is too outrageous, so I choose the statement in Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

　　In addition, I saw a book friend ask the governor if the governor of the Chinese and foreign armies is the commander of the Chinese and foreign armies.In fact, the Dudu here is a verb, usually the Dudu certain military forces, and the so-and-so here is generally a place name, such as Dudu Qingxu Zhujun, who can command all the troops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and Chinese and foreign respectively refer to Chinese and foreign. Army and Foreign Army, the Supreme Military Commander.In addition, the military governor of a certain military is not an official, but a title, which is usually used with the official. For example, Cao Zhen, the famous general of Wei State, was once worshiped as the general of Zhenxi, and the military governor of Yongliang. The general of Zhenxi is The official, the governor of Yongliang and other military forces are added titles, and the two are usually matched. Usually, the head of this kind of army will also serve as the governor of the state capital stationed in Jiedi.The military and political power seized it.
