Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 305 Two battlefields
The two armies faced off and formed a battle array outside Yinchuan City.

40,000 Yu troops and 30,000 Liang troops spread out from the north and south. They were as dark as a swarm of ants, and the edges could not be seen at a glance.

Both sides were ready to attack, but no one took the lead in attacking, and the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Xie Ai naturally wanted to be on the defensive. Although the soldiers he recruited dared to fight, as an organic army, they were formed too hastily and could not cooperate with each other tacitly. Naturally, they could not compete head-on with Fu Jian's elite infantry and cavalry. confrontation.

Fu Jian, however, had not confirmed Deng Xia's whereabouts and was wary of Baibao Xianbei, so he did not launch an attack rashly.

Fortunately, the stalemate was quickly broken. When Fu Jian finally learned about Deng Xia's whereabouts, his anxious heart was relieved. He said with emotion:
"Finally it showed up."

It is true that anyone would find it difficult to confront Liang Guo's armored horse on the battlefield.

But since Fu Jian dared to accept the challenge and faced off with Xie Ai outside Yinchuan City, he would naturally not be unprepared.

If there is any obvious shortcoming of armored cavalry, apart from the high cost of forming a team, it is the problem of physical strength.

Mainly due to the physical strength of the war horses, both men and horses wore heavy armor, which destined them not to fight for a long time.

Xie Ai naturally noticed this, but he had absolute confidence in Deng Xia and Baibao Xianbei. He had already told Deng Xia in his letter what he should instruct, and there was no need to worry about him anymore.

After receiving Fu Jian's military order, Fu Huangmei immediately responded, with thousands of horses galloping and raising dust all over the sky.

"Yu people are here to rob you of everything!
"If you win this battle, Liang Gong will definitely receive a heavy reward. If you lose, your families will be destroyed!

I saw Xie Ai loudly encouraging the soldiers in front of the battle in Xianbei dialect:
"Behind us is not only Yinchuan, but also Gao Pingchuan!

What he had to do was to hold on until Deng Xia appeared while the two armies were fighting.

The hoofs of the horses roared, and Fu Huangmei led his army to gallop towards Deng Ya's direction under the guidance of the sentinels.

Xie Ai is from Liangzhou. Since there are a large number of Xianbei tribes in Hexi, he naturally knows the Xianbei language.

Fu Huangmei is now hiding behind the Yu army's infantry phalanx. The 10,000 fine cavalry under his command were originally used to protect Xianbei from the enemy.

“Our families, our livestock, are all there now!

Xie Ai did not command the army to retreat. He firmly believed that Deng Xia would be able to break through the enemy's interception and rush to the battlefield.

Fu Jian ordered in a deep voice.

“When the Yu people break through Gaopingchuan, our wives and daughters will be insulted, and our children and grandchildren will be enslaved!
"Everyone! We have no choice but to fight to the death!"

But now, Fu Jian's military formation finally moved. The horns were blown vigorously, and the Yu army marched forward in neat steps, approaching the Liang army's formation.

After all, although the cavalry under Fu Huangmei's command also wore armor, they were not enough to compete head-on with Baibao Xianbei in human and horse gear.

However, Fu Jian never expected Fu Huangmei to defeat Deng Xia head-on. He only hoped to hold him back and exhaust Baibao Xianbei's physical strength. Therefore, he specifically warned Fu Huangmei to only fight in a casual manner and not to challenge him head-on.

"Quickly send an order to Fu Huangmei, and order him to lead his troops to intercept. Remember! You can only fight in a roaming manner, not forcefully attack."

Anyone who heard Xie Ai’s cry shouted loudly:
"Fight to the death and never retreat! Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Seeing this, Xie Ai knew that morale was available, but he also felt a little regretful. He knew many formations, but had no time to train this improvised opponent. All he could use was their courage and determination to protect their families. .

These people responded to Xie Ai's call and volunteered to fight. Naturally, they did not lack the courage to face the enemy. When Deng Xia saw a thin line in the wilderness east of Yinchuan from a distance, he knew clearly that someone was blocking the way. .

"Bald Lu Pan! He Lan Ju Tan!"

Deng Xia shouted loudly, and the two of them immediately responded:

"The end will be here."

Bald-haired Lupan comes from the Bald-haired tribe of Xianbei, Hexi. Although Helan Litan's surname is Helan, he comes from the Yifu tribe of Xianbei, Hexi. Both of them came out to challenge Deng Xia and Huan Qian when Huanxi allied with the various tribes of Xianbei, Hexi. warrior.

Of course, being able to get a chance to challenge on that occasion represents their status in the tribe.

Deng Xia continued to shout:

"The two of you will each lead your troops, use your riding horses to go forward to meet the enemy, and entangle the enemy's cavalry. The rest of the troops will change their horses, and let those enemies see how powerful our armored cavalry are!"

Everyone responded in unison:

"promise!"

Liang Jun's soldiers are divided into three levels: generals, troops, and teams. Each team has fifty people and one team general. Each unit has one thousand people. It has twenty teams and one team general.

Bald Lu Pan and He Lan Ju Tan were the generals in Baibao Xianbei.

They each led thousands of horses, and did not change their horses. They still rode the Datong horses used as a means of transportation, and rushed towards the galloping Yu army.

Fu Huangmei followed Fu Jian's instructions and did not engage in a head-on confrontation with Baibao Xianbei. Instead, he focused on harassment and guerrilla warfare to slow down the opponent. Naturally, he would not engage in close combat with Baibao Xianbei, so he immediately ordered to slow down and change direction.

But Bald Lu Pan and Helan Lutan's speed greatly exceeded Fu Huangmei's expectations.

Baibao Xianbei's walking horses are all Datong horses.

The reason why the Datong horse was reduced to a walking horse was simply because after Huanxi captured Hexi and controlled the Western Regions, he did not lack tall and high-quality war horses such as the Yili horse and the Tuguhun horse.

Its quality is actually better than that of Yu Jun's war horse.

After Fu Jian failed to fight for the Hetao, he found Xiurongchuan as a substitute and used Xiurongchuan as a horse herding land to breed war horses.

However, due to horse breed limitations, Yu Jun's war horses are definitely not of high quality, at least in terms of speed, they are inferior to Datong horses, which are famous for their flexibility, agility and fast speed.

Of course, there is still an obvious difference between war horses and walking horses, that is, these inferior war horses of Yu Jun are obviously braver than Liang Jun's high-quality walking horses.

But the problem is that Fu Huangmei is not going to have a decisive battle with Baibao Xianbei, but to take advantage of his mobility to make Baibao Xianbei exhausted. Naturally, it is impossible to fight with Bald Lupan and Helan Jutan's tribesmen. Together.

After all, Deng Xia had already led 8,000 horsemen and cavalry to follow far behind. As long as he was entangled by Bald Deer Pan and Helan Latan, Deng Xia would surely catch up.

Therefore, this is destined to be a chase battle between cavalry. In the chase battle, the disadvantages of untrained and timid walking horses can be avoided, so as to take advantage of their speed.

When he actually fought against Baibao Xianbei, Fu Huangmei discovered that the opponent not only had the hardest armor and the sharpest weapons, but also the strongest war horses and the fastest walking horses.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Fu Huangmei clenched his teeth. He knew that he could not continue like this.
