Xiliang Iron Cavalry

It has been more than [-] days since Xu Shu came to Bingzhou. The offensive of the Xianbei army outside the Yanmen Pass has entered the most violent period. The cavalry of the Xiliang Army that entered the Xianbei headquarters is expected to have arrived. I don't know that it was Jia Rong who led the army to Xianbei, otherwise, I don't know if his face would still be so calm.

The [-] ballistas are the largest handicraft of the craftsman's workshop, and they consume countless materials. If it is not supported by glass, fairy love, coal, etc., it will be difficult to complete this major transformation in the army. First of all, the soldiers' weapons and armor The armor worn by the war horses, these armors are different from the past in that they are lighter in weight and stronger in defense, while Shi Changliu wears plate armor, which greatly reduces the weight and improves the defense ability. layer.

Of course, if the cavalry does long-range sniping, these protections will become a burden.

Three hundred ballistas lined up in front of the camp, as if they were waiting for the Huns to charge.

Lu Yi led two thousand cavalry to appear on the right flank of the Xiliang Army, in case of accidents. At the same time, he also wanted to see how the actual combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army was. The last time it was a duel between Huaxiong and the Eagle Army, but this time it was a confrontation between the two armies. , The Xiongnu even held the battle in person.

Lu Yi secretly voted for the Xiliang Army in his heart. There must be many dissatisfied generals under his command. Ding Tai ruled and merged the state for a long time, and the army and the people were regarded as subordinates. The stronger the strength of the Xiliang Army, the easier it is to unify the state.

The Huns began to charge, and two thousand cavalry came roaring.

The Xiongnu Shanyu stared at the ballista with piercing eyes. Although the ballista was powerful, when the brave Huns broke into the camp of the Xiliang army, these ballistas would only become a burden for the Xiliang army. The commander-in-chief of the Xiliang army is nothing but an incompetent man. When these infantry lose the protection of the ballista, what will happen on the battlefield? The Xiongnu Shanyu is very eager to see the defeat of the mighty Xiliang army.

It's approaching the range of the ballista.

Guo Bang gave an order, and the three hundred ballistas began to show their power. The sound of the tense crossbow strings made the infantry feel unprecedentedly excited. In front of them were the brave Hun cavalry, and they were about to tremble under the attack of the ballista.

What Lu Yi and Xiongnu Shanyu expected was that there were not three hundred crossbow arrows, but densely packed crossbow arrows, which made people's eyes dark.

The crossbow bolts carried on the ballista are a few times larger than ordinary crossbow bolts, their power is doubled, and even the shooting range is twice that of ordinary crossbow bolts, but Guo Si does not want to show all the characteristics of the ballista prematurely.

Three hundred crossbow carts fired [-] crossbow arrows straight at the one or two Huns who were attacking. These crossbow arrows were all made of high-quality iron materials. Naturally, it is also big.

Lu Yi, who was not far away, watched this scene dumbfounded. He even saw a crossbow piercing through three Huns. When did the Xiliang army possess such a sharp weapon.

After the 500 ballistas were fired at once, the Huns on the battlefield fell down as if they were cutting wheat. Looking closely, the [-] Huns who charged just now were only sparsely populated, leaving less than [-] people. The dense Huns Cavalry makes ballistas more powerful.

Guo Bang gave an order, and a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry who had already been ready to go swarmed forward, and charged forward, killing the stunned Huns into chaos. There were no Huns on the battlefield trail.

The Xiongnu Shanyu stared at the ballista in astonishment. In his impression, the arrows seemed to be fired one at a time. Why could the [-] ballista in front of him be able to fire a dense number of arrows? The densely packed arrows, even an elite eagle army Rushing forward, the result is the same. What is even more surprising is that the power of these crossbow bolts can penetrate a cavalry without diminishing momentum.

Taking advantage of this gap, two soldiers flashed out from behind each ballista, skillfully reloading the arrows into the ballista.

It took only a moment for the two thousand cavalry of the Huns to be destroyed. Lu Yi felt a chill in his heart. He was a Han general, and he had never heard of such a sharp weapon. He could clearly see the inside of each ballista. Six crossbow bolts were fired, no, such crossbow bolts can be called short spears.

While horrified, he secretly rejoiced for his previous decision. With such a ballista, why worry about the unbroken state, even the Xianbei people outside the pass are not worried.

The morale of the Han army was greatly shaken, and this kind of ballista was also available for the first time.

The Xiongnu Shanyu's expression kept changing, and with an order, the rear team changed to the front team and withdrew to the city. At the moment when two thousand cavalry were wiped out by the Han army, Shan Yu suddenly realized that he was old, and the elite of the Han army was indeed not what they could resist Yes, it's no wonder that Qiangqu had repeatedly opposed the rebellion before, but resolutely sent troops to help the big man put down the internal rebellion. The [-] crossbow carts in front of the Xiliang army made him feel powerless.

Guo Si, Xu Shu and other high-ranking officials of the Xiliang Army stared at the three hundred crossbow carts with flushed faces. Before, they were afraid that they would not be able to fight against the ten thousand Huns. [-] cavalry were dispatched to prevent accidents, and [-] ballistas fired in salvo, which was very powerful, and the effect was more than a hundred times stronger than the effect of firing one when it was shipped that day.

The Huns were huddled in the city, and Lu Yi kept sending people to Ding Tai to deliver good news, and at the same time begged for food, weapons, and siege equipment.

Ding Tai was very excited, he calmed down the Xiongnu, then he will definitely be able to get a huge attack if he writes to the sage. In front of me, I didn't care about Lu Yi, and I let Chen Yi mess around. Now that Lu Yi has become the biggest guarantee for his superiority, he naturally showed a little rejection of Chen Yi. If it weren't for Chen Yi's military and political His influence is very great, I am afraid that Ding Tai would have put him in charge long ago.

Chen Yi showed bitterness. He didn't expect that Xu Shu's light words could change his position in Ding Tai's heart. Could it be that years of hard work are so vulnerable? With his means, if he wants to be the shepherd of Bingzhou, Ding Tai probably will He had joined up with Ding Yuan long ago, how could there be Ding Tai, the shepherd of Bingzhou now.

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. When did the Huns become so weak and vulnerable? Could it be that Lu Yi was really a famous general who could turn some only trained soldiers into elite soldiers?Suddenly, Chen Yi took out the information sent by the soldiers in front, and watched carefully again. The charge of two thousand cavalry was killed by the Han army in less than half an hour. "Xiliang Army", Chen Yi suddenly thought This unsettling factor that appeared in the border of Bingzhou was eliminated.

Suddenly he thought of a possibility that Lu Yi might have reached an agreement with the Xiliang Army in secret, and his military exploits today are just a cover for Lu Yi using the Xiliang Army. If this is the case, then Bingzhou is really not Guaranteed.

"My lord, don't send soldiers to Lu Yi again." Chen Yi shouted in panic.

Ding Tai stared at Chen Yi with an unkind expression, and said coldly, "What? Don't Chen Biejia want to see the Huns put down?"

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Chen Yi regained his usual composure, and explained: "My lord, if our army is really so elite, then why does Lu Yi need soldiers and horses, his heart is unpredictable."

Ding Tai said angrily: "Don't talk too much, the Huns have the power of the city, and they have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands. General Lu's army is only comparable to that of the Huns. How to break through Meiji, I think Chen Biejia can't look down on others Set up a battle."

It is related to the safety of Bingzhou, Chen Yidao: "My lord, most of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army are only soldiers who have been in the army for a few months. The Huns are brave. How could they be defeated so easily? There may be something strange here, so we must guard against it."

Ding Tai's expression tightened slightly, thinking of a secret letter that Lu Yi had written to him before, saying that Chen Yi would be jealous of his military exploits and would make wild guesses, now it seems that it is true, he snorted coldly: "No need to say more, I have made my own decision on this matter, you go down!"

Chen Yi let out a long sigh, his face was ashen, and he retreated resentfully.

Thinking of Lu Yi's saying that after completely defeating the Xiongnu army, he would take advantage of the situation to swallow up the Xiliang army, he felt extremely comfortable. It seemed that he had never failed the world-famous Xiliang army.

At the same time, Jia Rong led three thousand Xiliang troops to the border of Xianbei. The endless grassland made Jia Rong feel extremely comfortable.

After the three thousand Xiliang army passed through the desert, there were only 100 people left. Before the battle, 900 people died in the desert. This is still a member of the army who has a medical center, otherwise the loss will be even greater, and people will be caught off guard The wind and sand, as well as the endless dryness, made this Xiliang army suffer a lot.

When the three thousand soldiers came, they were wearing solid armor, bows and arrows and other equipment, but now they only have a set of coarse clothes and a machete in their hands.

Jia Rong licked his dry lips and said, "Finally out of the desert, I can have a good meal."

"Fengxian, go check and see if there is any tribe of Xianbei people in front of you? Be careful not to be discovered." Jia Rong warned.

"No!" Lu Bu clasped his fists and said, no matter how hot it was, Lu Bu still refused to throw away the painting halberd, and resolutely brought it to the place of the Xianbei people, and the gentian spear in Zhao Yun's hand was always on his side.

"My lord, ten miles ahead, there is a small tribe of Xianbei people, estimated to have more than 1000 people." About two hours later, Lu Bu arrived at Jia Rong's resting place, out of breath.

Jia Rong nodded and said: "Well, after dark, we will start. Tonight we can take a bath and eat meat."

The soldiers let out low and excited howls. Taking a bath and eating a full meal were their greatest luxury.

After the sky completely darkened, Jia Rong led [-] soldiers and quietly approached the Xianbei tribe that Lu Bu had mentioned.

In the dark night, Jia Rong saw little lights of fire in front of him.

"Zilong, you lead 500 people from the left, Fengxian, you lead 500 people from the right, Mi Wei, you lead 2000 soldiers to surround the Xianbei people, and don't let any Xianbei people get away." Jia Rong Said in a deep voice, this is the base camp of the Xianbei people, and our soldiers are just a group of Han troops wearing coarse clothes and holding simple weapons. I am afraid that after the Xianbei people find out and send a team of cavalry, more than [-] of them will be buried in the vast expanse. Murong Feng led the Xianbei army and the Han army to fight outside the Yanmen Pass. The scouts must be all over the battlefield. It is so difficult for the Han people to break into the hinterland of Xianbei. Of course, they did not consider it. There will be a strong army from the desert.
