Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1063 The Tragedy of Talas
Chapter 1073 The Tragedy of Talas
However, when it comes to the city's offense and defense, if the Han people consider themselves second, no one would dare to admit that they are the first.A city of Xiangyang has been attached to the Mongolian army for 38 years. If it is not betrayed by traitors, whether the Mongolian army can go south in the end is another matter.Of course, although Ye Xian ordered all his ministries to gather at Taluosi, he did not rush to attack.

Water is the biggest difficulty in attacking Taluosi City, but God seems to be on Wei's side.There was a rare desert rain in the Taluosi Desert, which made it much easier for Wei Guo's cavalry to advance into the desert.In particular, the rain in the desert not only drove away the heat, but also allowed Wei's army to greatly reduce the waste of water on the way.

On June 25th, that is, the sixth day after the Jie people slaughtered the cavalry of the Anxi Army, the vanguard of the Wei State Army began to appear on the edge of the desert east of Taluosi City.At this time, the soldiers and civilians in Taluosi City began to get nervous.

On the wall of Taluosi City, there are rough-looking generals of the Stone Kingdom standing one after another.This general is none other than Ma Guangbi, General Shi Zhao Guoyuan Zhengdong and son of Ma Qiu, governor of Liangzhou.Ma Qiu was a general of the Later Zhao Dynasty, and he was also notorious.But in the north, as long as a child cries, and an adult only needs to say that Mahu is coming, the child will not dare to cry anymore.As the last remnant of the Jie people in the Central Plains, Shi Guangbi is a rare hero among them.At the beginning, the remnants of the Jie tribe took refuge in the Murong tribe of Xianbei.He was placed under Murong Ping's command by Murong Jun, but with Yan's defeat in You Beiping, Liu Yan led his troops to leave.When Murong Jun learned about it, he was furious, and sent Mu Yuni, the general of the rebels, to pursue him with [-] troops.This Mu Yuni was also a general of the Yan Kingdom. He first made a surprise attack and then Zhao Liaoxi won a complete victory. He captured more than a thousand families and returned countless cattle and horses.In [-] A.D., Yan State attacked Goguryeo. Mu Yuni, then Qingche General, not only defeated Goguryeo King Gaozhao, but also captured his biological mother, Queen Mother Zhou, his wife and other sons and returned them.Such a person is naturally not an unknown person.

However, at that time, Ma Guangbi, who was in charge of the rear of the palace, led more than a thousand Jie cavalry. The senior general of the country, Mu Yuni.

This made Murong Jun very angry, and sent Guangwei General Murong Jun, Dianzhong General Mu Yugen, You Sima Huangfuzhen and others led [-] infantry and cavalry to pursue the remnants of the Jie people.Ma Guangbi fought and left, and defeated Murong's army in Yunzhong (now northeast of Tuoketuo, Inner Mongolia).However, when passing through the Heishui Department, Heishuihu was greedy for the wealth of the remnants of the Jie people, and sent eight thousand Qingqi to grab their wealth.As a result, Ma Guangbi led Jieqi to three victories in three battles and almost wiped out the Heishuihu clan.

At this time, the reorganized Shi Guo army numbered as many as 30.Infantry accounted for about a third of them.If counting the ministries of the vassals, the army of Taluosi City at this time numbered more than [-].According to the art of war, three times as many soldiers are needed to besiege the city, and five times as many soldiers to attack the city. Therefore, Ma Guangbi estimates that unless the Wei army outside the city gathers [-] horses, it will not be able to encircle Taluosi City.

In fact, Ye Xian's troops did not have that many troops at all. He only had two reorganized infantry divisions with 3 horses, and two cavalry divisions with a total of more than [-] horses.This is less than [-] troops, which is already the essence of Anxi's army.However, there are many servants under Ye Xian's command, including more than [-] horsemen from the Western Regions, Kangju, Miguo, Teshi, Ukeke, Qinda Gaitu, Urlu, Changjis, etc. More than [-] people and horses.

When Ye Xian led the main force to arrive, he ordered: "Shoot the book in the city, and don't open the city after a stick of incense, and don't leave the city after the city is broken!"

Another way of saying "Do not leave chickens and dogs alone" is naturally to massacre the city. This order revived the spirits of the horsemen of the countries in the Western Regions and the generals of the tribes in the Central Asian countries.
However, Niu Zijie, Li Jingshan and other Anxi generals changed their expressions drastically, and stepped forward to persuade them: "Deputy commander, there are many stone troops in the city, but there are also many people. They only participated in the defense of the city because of the coercion of the stone troops. Volunteer to be an enemy of our soldiers. If you slaughter the city after breaking the city, the slaughter will be too heavy, and it will damage the prestige of our Anxi army as a benevolent and righteous teacher. In the future, the people of all ministries will regard our soldiers as enemies. "

Ye Xiandao: "Since the formation of our Anxi army, the purpose is to open up the western frontier for the empire. How can it be a matter of benevolence and righteousness for the army to open up territories?"

Ye Xian corrected Niu Zijie and other generals: "In this world, anyone can say benevolence and righteousness, but we can't say or do it. This commander can't listen to benevolence and righteousness, and neither can His Majesty. Your Majesty was talking about martial arts at that time. When I was teaching in the classroom, I once said: "I wish that all the foreigners in the world would only know that Wei Jun is a teacher of tigers and wolves, and would not listen to them praise me as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.Foreign races are afraid of power but not virtue, especially enemies of the same race. If they can't let them know the strength of our Wei army and the cruel end of opposing me, then they will never be afraid.There are things in the world, but only when you are afraid can you know how to advance and retreat, and know how to be interesting.It is true that our Anxi army is the army of the king of Wei. This western expedition is to recover the Western Regions, take the Chu River directly, and build a new Chuzhou.As our army song sang, hold a steel knife 99, kill Hu'er before you stop! "

When Ye Xian mentioned Ran Ming, the generals such as Niu Zijie and Li Jingshan said nothing more.Ranming in Wei State is not only the emperor, but also the belief of the people of Wei State.Even if what Ran Ming said was wrong, it was still right.If Ran Ming wanted to kill Hu'er, the soldiers would kill them all.

However, without waiting for Ye Xian's order to attack the city, the gates of Taluosi City were opened wide. Of course, this was not because the Shi army was about to surrender, but because Ma Guangbi led the stone army cavalry out of the city to attack the Wei army who was not firmly established.The east gate of Taluosi City was fully opened, and a troop slowly came out!

The ones who take the lead are tall horses from the Western Regions!The leading general is none other than Ma Guangbi, a titan with mottled white hair.Ma Guangbi, who is nearly fifty years old, has a spirit that does not match his age.Nearly fifty years old, he can still ride a fire and dance a sword.

The Western Regions are all horse-producing lands. Shi Guo has controlled Central Asia for many years. Although it has become the protectorate of the Heda Empire in recent years, Liu Yan holds all the best horse breeds in his hands. Shi Guo is not far from Dawan, the place where good horses are produced. .But Dawan's hard-earned horse is a delicate breed of horse.They must be fed the best concentrates and must receive the best veterinary care.

However, the Shijun of the Jie nationality has another kind of better war horse.That is the West Domain horse, the West Pole horse, this kind of West Pole horse is a mixed breed of sweat horse and Arabian horse. It not only has the great load-bearing capacity of the Arabian horse, but also has the sprint explosive power of the sweat horse.It also has the advantage of convenient feeding of Mobei Mongolian horses.

The tall Xiji horse is half a head taller than the Mobei horse (that is, Mongolian horse), Xianbei horse, Hequ war horse, and Yili war horse in the Wei army!When ordinary cavalry faced elite cavalry riding such horses, the visual pressure alone would cause serious psychological tension!This is one of the advantages of the Jie Cavalry Corps Megatron!

These thousands of riders are the remnants of the Jie people in the Central Plains. They have witnessed the rise and fall of the Jie people in the Central Plains.Of course, at this time.They have already become the most elite cavalry regiment in the Stone Kingdom, and even in the entire Central Asia region!These war horses are not sweat horses.As far as the quality of the armor is concerned, it is not inferior to the armor of the State of Wei.Liu Yan poured everything and spent millions of gold to build an elite trump card, all equipped with Uzi steel fish scale armor invented by the Persians.This kind of armor is very expensive to make, more than three times more expensive than Wei Guo's Mingguang armor.

Although Liu Yan brought back a lot of money from the Central Plains, he sucked blood on the business roads of the Western Regions.But this kind of elite cavalry, he only has [-].Of course, it doesn't mean that the Jie people don't have enough warriors, but that this kind of fish scale armor is too expensive.Liu Yan couldn't afford it, and he didn't have the strength to snatch the Persian armor.

Ma Guangbi, the leader, is riding a precious black horse, which is the second generation of Tianma mixed blood. It is carrying Ma Guangbi, who is about 1.9 meters tall, wearing armor and holding a wolf head weighing more than fifty kilograms Dao, from a distance, this warrior with one horse and a man looks like a wild beast!
After Ma Guangbi's [-] fine cavalry, there are more than [-] Jie clan light cavalry.Although these light cavalry are not all wearing Persian fish-scale armor like the eight thousand elites, most of them are wearing refined steel armor. Some of these iron armors are Zhajia made in the Jin Dynasty, some are Xuanjia made in the early Ranwei period, and some are made in Roman style. , some are Persian-style armor, and some are cavalry breastplates of the Gupta Empire.It is simply a universal card.The weapons of these light cavalry are also varied, including knives, guns, spears, shields, crossbows, bows and arrows.

Facing the more than [-] elite cavalry, the Western Region shepherds who were originally in the front line did not have the courage to harass them—but no one blamed him, because at this time, harassing was not brave, but death!

"It really is an elite!" Niu Zijie's eyes sparkled with excitement.For the Anxi cavalry, the most dazzling record was created by Ran Min leading the first generation of Wei Jun.And none of them can surpass their predecessors.At this time, Ye Xian did not order Wei Guo's infantry to step forward to stop these Jie cavalry.Because he knew very well that the crossbow machine was not very capable of piercing this kind of fish scale armor, and this battle was a battle of Wei Guoan's western army.

Ye Xiandao: "Unfortunately, the Great Qin and the Xiongnu fought in Hetao. The First Emperor issued an imperial decree to General Meng with only eight simple words. The Qin people are the ancestors of the cavalry. I will tell all the soldiers that our Great Wei is the real cavalry. No. [-] in the world!" On the viewing platform.Although Ye Xian said it lightly, he couldn't help but feel troubled when he saw Shi Jun's formation of cones!Such a force, such a formation, is almost desperate!The point of the cone formation lies in the sharpness of the striker!If the enemy can resist it, its sharpness will falter, but if it cannot resist, breaking the enemy is like tearing paper, a central breakthrough goes straight to the head!
With such a cavalry formation.There is no terrain restriction on such a flat river outside the city of Taluosi.Even the Modao Battle Formation may not be able to resist it!Although Wei's infantry formation is formidable, it is most afraid of all-or-nothing tactics to deal with this formation.Because any formation has a critical point.Just like the missile defense blood system of later generations, there is no way to face saturation attacks.

Only fight to the death!

The Anxi cavalry officers and soldiers saw that there were such majestic cavalrymen in Shiguo. Instead of showing timidity, they were very happy.For the great cause of Wei's expedition to the west, the only similar battles were the Battle of Beiting and the Battle of Stone City.However, in these two battles, Wei's inferior infantry fought against the superior force of the enemy's cavalry. When the enemy's elite forces were exhausted, it was the turn of the cavalry to play.In particular, Niu Zijie led the elite cavalry of the Anxi Army, but he did not leave the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in Ezhanah Yabu. This is a great pity for the cavalry soldiers of the Anxi Army.

Especially as the No.60 Five Cavalry Regiment was almost wiped out, this made the entire Anxi Army cavalry collectively ashamed.If the cavalry of the Anxi Army didn't show their faces in Central Asia and fight a few decent battles, I'm afraid it wouldn't make sense.

Among the military branches of the Wei State, the infantry soldiers paid the lowest, followed by the equipment soldiers, and then the cavalry, and the navy paid the highest.Although the navy received the most military pay, the navy fought hard and defeated the strong with the weak. It defeated the [-] navy of the Gupta Empire and defeated the Gupta Empire's navy.Opened up thousands of miles of sea and territory for the Great Wei Empire, and more importantly, under the protection of the Navy, the Great Wei gained a lot of benefits from the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands.Why can Wei Guo feed millions of troops?Why can the welfare benefits of millions of soldiers be better than those of previous dynasties?The key point is that the taxes of the people of Wei State are not heavy, and all this is due to the navy.Let the navy get the highest military pay, and the soldiers have nothing to say.

However, as Wei's cavalry unit second only to the navy, they also consumed a lot of resources, but they didn't have a good record, which couldn't be justified anyway.Now Shi Guo has brought out their most luxurious lineup, which makes the more than [-] cavalry soldiers not panic, but extremely excited.

Since Ran Min created the Great Wei Army, the Wei cavalry has always won more with fewer.In the first battle, [-] Han cavalry broke through the slave camp at night, killed several enemy generals, chased them for hundreds of miles, and beheaded [-] slaves; The Wanqi Huo Rebel Army defeated more than [-] allied forces of Hu and Hu; in the fourth battle, [-] people beheaded [-] of Hu's heads; The [-] Hu Jun who came from afar with [-] Han cavalry generals were defeated.After several battles, the prestige of the Han family's iron cavalry was played out, and Han people from all over the country revolted in response.Facing the superior force of Jie cavalry, countless cavalry officers and soldiers immediately shouted: "Anxi breaks the hu, Anxi breaks the hu, the great Wei is mighty, the great Wei is mighty!"

Following the order issued by the Chinese army, the cavalry of various ministries began to slowly greet the Jie cavalry of the stone army.

At this time, Ma Guangbi was also ambitious.This is almost the last army of the Jie people, the last elite of the Jie people, the anger of the Jie people, the hatred of the Jie people, the hope of the Jie people, and the future of the Jie people are all concentrated on these less than [-] cavalry.Ma Guangbi looked at the huge black wave on the opposite side, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

The Jie people once created a glorious history, especially their great hero Shi Le, as a slave.In the end, he became the emperor, ruled the world, and ruled the 2000 million Han people in the Central Plains.They once defeated the Huns who dominated the desert from north to south for nearly a thousand years.They wiped out the last [-] elites of the Jin State, and made the Jin State retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, not daring to look north.They beat the Xianbei people and forced them to surrender.However, because of Ran Min's appearance, not only usurped the country of the Jie people, cut off the hope of the Jie people, but also almost slaughtered the Jie people.

Looking at the black armored army on the opposite side, Ma Guangbi's heart was bleeding.It was they who almost slaughtered all the males of the Jie people who were taller than the wheel (four feet).After the great defeat in the Central Plains, the Jie people were in pain, and now the Jie people have been reborn from the ashes, and now they will teach the Han people to pay their debts with blood.

Ma Guangbi did not order the troops to start charging immediately.If you are still far away from the enemy, move forward slowly to raise your horsepower, where you have three arrows, gradually accelerate, and use momentum to overwhelm others.With one arrow, the horse charged to defeat the enemy.This is common sense in cavalry combat.Ma Guangbi led the eight thousand fine steel fish-scale armored cavalry, and the entire army did not have bows, and they were not even equipped with hard bows.

Because Ma Guangbi knows very well that the strongest part of Wei's army is their strong bows and crossbows. Using cavalry bows to shoot at infantry with strong bows and hard crossbows is actually the shortest way to attack the enemy.The cavalry is unstable on the horse and cannot use a strong bow. They are usually equipped with seven-dou cavalry bows.This kind of bow and arrow can shoot at a distance of eighty to one hundred steps, but the effective killing radius is only about sixty steps.Such a bow and arrow, only within thirty steps, has a chance to break through the defense of the Wei army's armor.This is why Li Ling led [-] Han infantry and crossbowmen, and was able to fight thousands of miles under the siege of tens of thousands of Hun troops.

The eight thousand cavalry led by Ma Guangbi were not for riding and shooting at all, but for breaking the formation.At the same time, the cavalry of the Western Army of Wei Guoan moved almost the same as the cavalry of the Jie people. They also advanced slowly and accelerated slowly.

Relatively speaking, the crossbow machine of the Wei cavalry is much more powerful than that of the cavalry bow.

Ma Guangbi ordered the eight thousand fine cavalry to slowly change formation. When the eight thousand fine cavalry formed a front arrow, he suddenly shouted: "Come on!"

There was no scolding, no temptation, and no persuasion.Because the two races of Han and Jie have long been old enemies, and there is no possibility of resolving the hatred. Either one party will completely fall, or it will die forever.The Jie people have never thought about surrendering. For them, defeat means death, and defeat means family annihilation.For the soldiers of the Western Army of Wei Guoan, the Jie people are animals and the greatest enemy of the Han people.

Although the five random Chinese refer to Di, Qiang, Xiongnu, Jie, and Xianbei.But in fact, when it comes to slaughtering the Han people, the Jie people are the craziest, followed by the Xianbei people.It can take 30 years to slaughter more than 600 million Han Chinese. This kind of hatred can only be washed away with blood.Although the Wei State is powerful now, and the Wei State also has a mind to accept the Hu who surrendered, there are only two exceptions, one is the Jie people, and the other is the Xianbei people.Can only die endlessly.

When nearly 20 Jieqi and [-] Anxi Army cavalry and nearly [-] horseshoes stepped on the ground, it was like an earthquake.Without the war drum, the power of thousands of galloping horses is more shocking than the war drum. It is a sunny day, but the rumbling sound is like tens of thousands of thunders erupting together!Qi Bi is not a timid person, but under this power, he can't help but turn pale!He now has an urge to turn around and run immediately.

Not only Qibi, but also the shepherds and cavalry from all the countries in the Western Regions, almost everyone's face changed drastically, and some timid people were scared to pee when they saw this scene.The troops of various tribes in Central Asian countries were even more unbearable.At this time, Wei State's messengers took the interpreter to convey Ye Xian's order: "If one person escapes, the whole team will be killed. If one team flees, the whole battalion will be killed. If the battalion escapes, the whole family will be killed!"
