Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 453 Competing in the Central Plains (25)

When Fu Jian was defeated in Feishui, fierce fighting was also going on in the Liaodong battlefield in the north.

Shanhaiguan

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
The dense rain of arrows was thrown at the Qin army under the city wall.

Murong Ping was notoriously useless, so he didn't dare to divide his troops to attack Yan, fearing that they would be defeated one by one, so he chose to send [-] troops to the Shanhaiguan battlefield, filling up the trenches of Yan with his life.

Compared with the Zhuge Liannu in the late Han Dynasty, the bow and crossbow of Yan State have new improvements.

So the Zhuge Liannu is not lost, but someone later improved the Liannu with better performance, so naturally there is no need to continue to use the Zhuge Liannu.

This is like having an air conditioner, so fewer fans are used, not that the fan is lost.

After hundreds of years of construction, Shanhaiguan in Yan State is not inferior to Tongguan, Jianmenguan, Yanmenguan, Yumenguan, etc. in the Central Plains, and has become a place that makes people daunting.

The military fortresses of the Yan State used more prismatic fortresses, and a large number of triangular horse faces were used, so that there were no dead ends for crossbow shooting and better firepower coverage.

The densely packed fortresses make one's scalp tingle, and the defenders of the Yan Kingdom in the fortress rely on the wooden bridge above the fortress to pass. There are several small fist-sized holes at the bottom of each fortress, allowing the soldiers in the fortress to move over a long distance. spear pierced out.

And what's even more tricky is that the front of the fortress of Yan State is sealed, without a single hole, and the enemy army can't do it even if they want to poke it back.

The holes in the fortress are all on the side or the back, so that after the enemy troops enter the fortress group, they can only turn their backs to the crossbows on the city wall, so as to counterattack and defend against the Yan soldiers in the fortress group.

However, during this period, most of the soldiers in the Central Plains only protected the front, not the back. First, it was to reduce weight and improve the mobility of soldiers. Second, generally no one used their backs to fight, so there was no need for them. Defensive back.

Therefore, when they faced the fortresses of Yan State, they suffered a big loss.

Not only that, many terriers were buried in a thin layer of gravel, walking well, suddenly a terrier pierced the sole of the foot.

If you want to clean it, you can't see it, and the grit will increase the workload.

As for relying on the siege of the city to make Shanhaiguan run out of food and supplies, it is even more impossible. The food and supplies in Shanhaiguan are transported by sea from Yan State. There will be a steady stream.

However, Qin's navy could not even pass the Yangtze River, and it was wishful thinking to think about the more difficult sea.

Relying on the advantage of commanding the sea, Yan's army can land somewhere in Youzhou, Jizhou at any time, and then in turn cut off the Qin army's food road.

Moreover, the nomads in the Yanbei Grassland continued to go south to plunder Youzhou, which also annoyed the Qin State.

In this way, after filling the trenches with human lives for several months in Shanhaiguan, Murong Ping heard that Fu Jian had suffered a disastrous defeat in Feishui, so he immediately stopped attacking Shanhaiguan, and instead led Qin soldiers to attack Qin's cities.

However, how could Yan Hu miss this good opportunity to capture the captives in vain, so taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army's exhausted retreat, they took the sea to intercept the Qin army.

A thousand Tiefu soldiers from Yan State slaughtered Murong Ping, and Murong Ping wanted to resist, but Qin Bing, who was exhausted from filling trenches, was unwilling to fight for a Xianbei man.

As the sun sets, the Iron Buddha with horse armor is inserted straight into the position where Murong Ping is. At dusk, it shines on the black and bright armor, emitting light. Every Iron Buddha wears an iron mask and rides a pure-blooded Dawan horse. (Sweat BMW).

Of the 400 Dawan horses brought back, 4000 were used to improve the local horse breeds in Liaodong, and the remaining [-] were bred pure-blooded to prevent blood stains. They have been bred for more than [-] years, and now they are all There are only more than [-] horses, which is just enough for the children of the clan and the imperial guards.

Dawan horses are not as durable as prairie horses, so they are not suitable for long-distance raids, but they have high explosive power, and their combat effectiveness is very high in short-distance charge operations.

Therefore, grassland horses are more suitable for long-distance raids as light cavalry, and Dawan horses are more suitable for short-distance charge operations as armored cavalry.

The country of Yan has no need for long-distance raids. After all, there is no need to go on an expedition to Mobei or the hinterland of the Central Plains. Therefore, the short-distance Dawan horse is the most suitable, which can form a speed advantage over the nearby Yanbei grassland and surrounding areas.

Although the Central Plains also has equipped cavalry, there is a gap between equipped cavalry and equipped cavalry.

The biggest gap is the iron smelting technology. With the iron smelting technology of the Central Plains, the joint protection is still not flexible, and the protection performance is inferior to the armored armor of the Yan Kingdom.

And the armored armor sold by Yan State itself is only a little bit better than the armored armor produced by the Central Plains itself. The really good armored armor will not be sold by Yan State. Guards wear.

(Yan’s iron-smelting technology is already in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the iron-smelting technology in the Central Plains is in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.)
Whoa!

The arc-shaped ring knife cut through the throat of a Qin soldier, and blood gushed out.

This is a new ring-shaped knife improved by Yan State. It learned from the saber of the northern grassland and combined the saber with the traditional ring-shou knife of the Central Plains.

The ring head knife is more suitable for chopping, but it will consume more energy if you cut too much, while the saber is more suitable for harvesting heads, but it is difficult to counterattack when encountering a strong enemy, so Yan Guo made this new arc-shaped ring head knife, which can chop Cutting, and harvesting heads, the only disadvantage is that the production cost is higher and the technical level required is also higher.

Institutional culture changes over time, and so does weaponry.

The technological generation gap exists not only between ancient times and modern times, but also between ancient times and ancient times. The technological level of the Song Dynasty is enough to crush the technological level of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Qin soldiers were defeated, Murong Ping was beheaded, and as many as [-] Qin soldiers were captured by Yan Guo Tiefutu.

After bringing these [-] Qin soldiers captives back to Liaodong, the State of Yan made persistent efforts, and the [-] iron pagodas attacked again, plundering the population in the Youzhou area, and removing all the population, wealth and materials.

At the same time, the Central Plains ushered in a big melee.

Xie Xuan launched the Northern Expedition, with Liu Laozhi as the general, recovered Jingbei, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, and is now advancing towards Yanzhou.

The Yizhou aristocratic family looked after the family and became self-reliant.

Murong Chong was killed by his own generals, and the Xianbei people in Guanzhong migrated to Bingzhou, where they separated themselves.

Fu Jian fought against Yao Chang and was brutally killed by Yao Chang after being captured alive. Fu Deng rebelled against Yao Chang and vowed to avenge Fu Jian.

Lu Guang, who came back from the Western Regions, heard that Fu Jian was dead, so he established the Liang Kingdom and ruled one side separately.

Murongchui defeated many opponents, captured most of Jizhou, and rebuilt Yan.

Tuoba Xianbei restored the country, and changed the country's name to "Wei", defeating the Huns in Jiuyuan County.

Now that the north is broken into one place, it was a good time for Jin to regain its lost land. However, Jin's Northern Expedition lasted only one year, and after only recovering the area south of the Yellow River, a new internal struggle began again.

Da Jin, or the same Da Jin, has not changed at all. The previous battle of Feishui was just a miracle, and internal fighting is the characteristic of Da Jin.

Emperor Sima Yao was afraid of Xie An, worried that Xie An would follow Huan Wen's example and use the authority gained from the Northern Expedition to usurp the throne.

Xie An took the initiative to go into seclusion, no longer participated in the government affairs, and surrendered to the emperor, so as to protect his family.

After the Battle of Feishui, the Jin court intensified its exploitation of its own people.

In the past, because the people were worried that the people would be rebelled by the benevolent emperor Fu Jian, the Jin Dynasty reduced or exempted taxes. It is rare to do something good for the people. Now the north is broken into one place, and the barbarians are attacking each other. There is no crisis of subjugation in the Great Jin Dynasty, so it returns to its true colors in an instant. , I wish I could squeeze out the last bit of oil and water from the people.

A country without a permanent enemy would perish. Before there was the threat of Fu Jian, the Jin Dynasty was rarely united and began to do some personnel affairs. Now that there is no crisis of subjugation, the Jin Dynasty has become more corrupt and depraved.

The people of the state of Jin did not expect that they would have a better life after resisting the barbarians, but unexpectedly, because the barbarians have been resisted, they, ordinary people, are no longer worth fighting for, so they can now be suppressed. Ravaged at will.
