Chapter 466 Competing in the Central Plains (29)

One month later

Guanggu City (the capital of Yan State in the south of Murong)
"The Jin army is powerful. We should use the mountains and rivers to stop the Jin army in the Daxian Mountain area, and strengthen the walls and clear the fields to prevent the Jin army from looting supplies nearby to replenish logistics." Minister Gongsun Wulou suggested.

Gongsun Fifth Floor is good at flattering horses, and his suggestions are always unreliable, but today it is rare to make a reliable suggestion.

Every time Gongsun Wulou made outrageous suggestions, Murong Chao would listen, but when Gongsun Wulou finally made a reliable suggestion, Murong Chao refused to listen.

Murong Chao is reluctant to fortify the wall and clear the country, which will do too much economic damage to the area under his rule and is not conducive to the long-term development of the country.

This is indeed the case, although the trick of fortifying the wall and clearing the field is simple and practical, but this trick is to damage one's own foundation to increase defense.

Once this trick is used, it will take a long time to restore the local people's livelihood and economy.

This is also an important reason for the slow economic development of the cities in the Central Plains. It is not that the Central Plains has no talents to govern the cities, but that they fight wars at every turn, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness. The urban economy that has been developed with great difficulty is instantly destroyed. It's over, there will be another war, it's gone again, and it's going to develop again.

On the contrary, the later Northern Song Dynasty, relying on the hundred years of peace after the Tanyuan Alliance, successfully developed and accumulated a prosperous urban economy.

However, Yan State in Liaodong has not fought wars within the country for a long time. Generally, wars are fought outside the country, and the frequency is also very low. The long-term peaceful development has made the urban economy of Yan State in Liaodong very developed, and the Central Plains where armed wars are frequent. stark difference.

"Once the strong walls and clearing the fields become a protracted war, I don't know when the people's livelihood and economy of our country will recover. It is better to put the Jin army into the Qingzhou Plain. We rely on the advantage of the cavalry and trample the Jin army on the open plain!" Emperor Murong Super self-confident, he thinks he can defeat Liu Yu without fortifying the wall and clearing the field, so there is no need to waste his foundation in vain.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that if you don't give up your children, you won't be able to trap wolves. You are reluctant to give up the domestic livelihood and economy. The result is likely to be the ruin of the country. At that time, no matter how good the people's livelihood and economy are, it will be nothing more than making wedding dresses for others. "Gongsun Wulou still wants to persuade.

"Needless to say, my state of Yan has [-] cavalry, of which [-] are armed cavalry, while Liu Yu has only [-] cavalry, and only [-] armed cavalry."

"No matter how you say it, the cavalry duel is [-] against [-], and I have the advantage!"

Looking at the stubborn emperor Murong Chao, Gongsun Wulou thought to himself: It seems that I have to go to Yandu, Yanguo, Liaodong to buy a luxury house. If Liu Yu's army invades the city, I can still go to Yandu to take refuge.

There are many ministers of the Yan State in the south of Murong who have the same idea as Gongsun Wulou. After the court meeting, they arranged for people to secretly go to Yandu to buy a luxury house, ready to run away at any time.

Another month later, Liu Yu's army passed through Daxian Mountain, and set up a [Double Dragon Chariot Formation], which was invented by Wang Bian, one of the 28 generals of Yuntai hundreds of years ago, and now it was created by Liu Yu. Yu made improvements.

Murong Chao is like a reckless man. He even saw Liu Yu forming an formation, and ordered the cavalry to charge directly on the formation, but was blocked by the chariots on the outer circle of the formation, and was blocked by the strong crossbows and continuous crossbows on the inner circle of the formation. Dayton shot violently.

He wanted to pass through the gap of the chariot, but he was stabbed by the long-prepared Jin spearmen.

Moreover, Liu Yu combined the continuous crossbow with the strong crossbow. When the enemy is far away, use the strong crossbow to shoot, and when the enemy is close to the chariot formation, let the crossbowmen change the continuous crossbow to shoot.

After such a set of procedures, although it sounds very simple, just do this first, and then do that.

But in fact, it is not simple at all. To ensure that soldiers can keep their minds clear and change weapons with the fastest reaction speed in the most intense moments of battle, it takes a long time of training to do it, and recruits simply do not have this ability.

shhhhhh!
"Wow!--"

boom!
Murong Yanguo's light armored cavalry fell in large numbers. Their light armor can only protect against stream arrows and long-distance arrows, but when they are shot from the front by crossbow arrows at close range, there is a high probability that they will be penetrated.

However, a thousand cavalrymen from Murong Yan Kingdom had also rushed over.

clang clang-

The arrows of the crossbowmen of the Jin army could not penetrate the iron armor, and the arrows shot on the iron armor were bounced to the ground.

These armored armors are all high-end goods imported by Murong Chao from Yan State in Liaodong, and the quality is better than the armored armors produced by Dajin itself.

However, even the imported high-end goods are castrated in Yan State of Liaodong, and the sale of more superior armored armor is prohibited in Yan State of Liaodong.

Since the time of their ancestor Wang Kang, the Wang family has intentionally imposed a technological blockade on the Central Plains grasslands, and is unwilling to share their own industrial technology. When the Wang family was relatively small in the beginning, they were willing to sell their own technologies for money. Now the Wang family is so big. Big, no longer willing to sell technology for money.

Obviously, this thousand elite armored cavalry is Murong Chao's trump card.

"This is a high-end product from Liaodong, what will Liu Yu fight with me? Heh!" Murong Chao was full of confidence.

However, Liu Yu had been prepared for a long time. He naturally knew that armored cavalry was very popular in the Central Plains, so he made the pikemen form a tighter army formation, and then let his [-] armored cavalry go around and attack.

The most extreme battles are often very simple tactics without so many bells and whistles. Simple tactics combined with orders and prohibitions and strict military discipline are enough to be called the essence of invincibility.

Don’t you see, a simple [Siege and Aid] tactic has been used from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States to modern times, but it is still very effective. Li Shimin is a master of [Siege and Aid].

Among the many Jin army troops, Liu Yu's Jin army is the only one that does not slaughter the city, even if it robs the city, it is relatively rare.

Even when Huan Wen led the Jin army to the Northern Expedition, although the city was not massacred, the common people were robbed very frequently.

As for Liu Laozhi, he was looting all the way during his Northern Expedition.

In the past few months of Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, he only robbed one county seat. This was still a soldier's act without his own order.

This can be regarded as very good military discipline!
The times have given us a filter, thinking that in ancient times, only those who did not commit crimes in autumn were regarded as having good military discipline. However, the fact is that there were only a handful of troops in ancient times that could truly commit crimes in autumn. They are teachers of benevolence and righteousness. Robbery is commonplace for them. Miracles happen if they don't rob.

The passing of soldiers is like a comb, and the passing of bandits is like a grate.

Under Liu Yu's strict military discipline, this army's combat effectiveness was unprecedentedly strong, defeating Murong Yan's [-] cavalry with [-] infantry.

"Hasn't Jin's army always been the same as the mob's peasant army? Why is it suddenly so powerful?" Murong Chao, the emperor of Murong Yan, was very puzzled. Why is this different from the Jin army he had been in contact with before?

But the situation is urgent, his main force is destroyed, the most urgent thing is to return to Guanggu City, take all kinds of gold and silver treasures and flee to Liaodong Yan Kingdom for refuge, and become a rich man to enjoy his old age in peace.

Therefore, he also ignored the howling ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, abandoned the army and fled the battlefield alone.
