Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1065
Chapter 1075

Even in the era of hot weapons, even after the emergence of artillery warfare, dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat.It is still a necessary criterion for judging whether an army is elite, because it can best reflect the training and will of an army.In the Song Dynasty, which lost the origin of war horses in later generations, the only weapons to deal with nomads were strong crossbows, giant shields and heavy armor.The strong crossbow separates the distance, the giant shield provides close protection, and the heavy armor is the last protection for the body.

However, these three pieces of equipment.All revolve around two words: defense!Two more words were leaked in the defense: cringe!Because of fear, they flinched. After the loss of the martial soul, even the best weapons became useless. The biggest reason for the Song people's defeat was not the lack of horses, but the lack of souls.

The most common situation in the nomadic iron cavalry is that after a round of bows and arrows, it is found that the enemy's horseshoes cannot be stopped. When the cavalry approaches, they collapse before receiving the edge and flee. It is rare that they can fight tenaciously in the face of war horses—if they can If there is a general hand-to-hand combat, even if there is a defeat, it will be enough to force the northern horse to advance with continuous bleeding wounds, and it is impossible to be defeated for thousands of miles.

In this era, the Wuhun of the Han people was not completely lost. In the Jin generation, Sima Yan was very afraid that his generals would usurp the throne like him because Sima Yan usurped the country of Cao Wei.Therefore, Emperor Wu of Jin deposed the county soldiers.Since then, there are very few troops stationed in various places, and it is impossible to even maintain law and order.Faced with bullying by the barbarians, the local government chose to back down again and again, yielding again and again.The consequence of this is that the army will lose its blood and bravery, and it will eventually become a tragedy for the Han family.

Ran Min raised the flag of righteousness and raised his troops to fight against Hu, awakening the bravery and bloodiness of the Han people suppressed by the Jin Dynasty. Although the heroic style of Han Wu is gone, the blood in the bones of the Han people has not completely cooled down.The Western Army of Wei Guoan is not the army of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not the army of the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is not the army of sheep that were castrated and bloody in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.At this time, they are the Great Wei Tiejun who regained the glory of Han Wu.

Liu Yan and Ye Xian's strategic and tactical arrangements, it's hard to say who is better than the other, it can only be said that both sides have their own plans.Liu Yan wants to rely on the advantages of the Jie people to fight well, break the myth that the Wei army is invincible, and let all the countries in Central Asia set off a climax of resistance to the Wei army's western expedition.But Ye Xian wanted to continue writing the myth of Wei's invincibility, so that the Central Asian countries would no longer have the desire to resist.Of course, what will happen in the end depends on the performance of both sides on the battlefield.

Ma Guangbi's piercing tactic lasted for nearly an hour, but it still didn't work.More than half of the [-] elites were killed or injured, and their horsepower gradually became exhausted. Ma Guangbi couldn't help feeling anxious.However, at this time, Shi Bin, the major and deputy battalion commander of the [-]rd Battalion, who took over the command of the [-]th Cavalry Regiment, issued the tactical order of "broken front".

There is a whole row of 56 horses, and every eight horses are tied together and tied together with ropes to form a small chain of horses.This is a trap, the purpose is to destroy the last soul of the Jie people, "Ma Guangbi".

Ma Guangbi's war horse had already been replaced by three horses, and even his wolf-headed heavy knife was broken, so it was replaced by a horse-sock.Every eight riders form a concave semicircle, with two knives in the center and six guns on the left and right, forming a lock!Soon Baqi and Ma Guangbi came into battle.Three long spears on the left and right came out of the hole like poisonous snakes, and went straight to Ma Guangbi's vitals, while the two horizontal knives in the middle were also ready to go.

However, Ma Guangbi was very good, the horse made a round, and the six long spears snapped, and at this time the two horizontal knives also slashed down.It's a pity that Ma Guangbi's speed is too fast. After the six spear cavalrymen in the horizontal sword, he still has time to assassinate the two horizontal swordsmen.However, Ma Guangbi was not without danger. Eight serial war horses trapped Ma Guangbi with his people and horses.At this time, the second group of eight began to attack again.

"Save the general, save the general!"

Seeing that Ma Guangbi was in danger, the Jie people rushed forward with strange screams.It's just that they are too late.Ma Guangbi had no choice but to hide in a beautiful stirrup and escaped the fatal six shots.But his horse was not so lucky. At least four shots stabbed Ma Guangbi's horse.The war horse neighed and fell to the ground.

Seeing Ma Guangbi fall off the horse, the other Jie riders were going crazy, while the generals of Wei Guoan's Western Army laughed heartily.

Following Ma Guangbi's fall from his horse, life and death were unknown, and the elite Jie riders immediately lost their command and were thrown into chaos.And at this time, Shi Guoqingqi, who was following behind the eight thousand elite Jieqi, had long been impatient.They watched Ma Guangbi's defeat of the cavalry of the Anxi Army, and they felt that the Anxi Army of Wei Guo was actually nothing more than mediocre.

However, apart from the eight thousand fine cavalry, the nearly [-] Qingqi cavalry is far behind.After all, Liu Yan was not originally the king of the Shi Kingdom in name, so it was very difficult to hide an army in the Shi Kingdom.Eight thousand fine riders is already the limit of what he can do.And these nearly [-] light cavalry are all young and strong recruited from various departments of the Mason Association.Although these young and strong people are skilled in arching horses, they are much worse than the eight thousand elite cavalry in terms of coordination in battle formation.

Originally, it was just that Ma Guangbi led the eight thousand fine cavalry to fight fiercely with the cavalry of the Anxi Army. For a while, the Jie cavalry did not show signs of defeat, but instead had a slight advantage.However, the Anxi army has more than [-] cavalry, especially those Jie tribe Qingqi who are watching the formation behind.They became arrogant, and with Ma Guangbi's fall from his horse, these Jie Qingqimen took the initiative to attack.

These Jie people's light cavalry were equipped with Wan Guo brand and various weapons. They screamed strangely and rushed towards the infantry on the left and right flanks of the cavalry of the Anxi Army.

It is none other than Ma Guangbi's lieutenant general Ji Hade who is in charge of this team of Jie people's Qingqi.This Jihad is the son of Jiyu, the general of Ma Guangbi's father Ma Qiu.In 347 A.D., Sun Fudu and Ma Qiu, generals of the Later Zhao Dynasty, rode [-] troops to drive Jihe, attacked Liangzhou, and then went down to Daxia City.Liang advocated that Chonghua ordered Xie Ai to fight. Xie Ai set up an ambush and defeated the Zhao army.Later, Ma Qiu adopted the sons of Du Xun and Ji Yu as adopted sons.However, when Ran Min issued the order to kill Hu, most of Ma Qiu's adopted sons rebelled, but Ji Hade fled with Ma Guangbi.

In Jihad's view, the cavalry of the Wei State Anxi Army was not a weak force. After all, Ma Guangbi led eight thousand elite troops, but they only had the upper hand.Even if these light cavalry under his command rushed over, they probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of it.However, he intends to attack Wei's infantry formation.Even if there are more infantry in the Anxi Army of Wei State, it is impossible to stop the charge of such powerful cavalry. He only needs to break through the infantry defense line of the Anxi Army, and he can do whatever he wants. Give the Anxi cavalry a hard blow from the back of the butt.

These nearly [-] light cavalry bypassed the Anxi cavalry in front and made a big detour.As a result, the attack went very smoothly, because he found that the cavalry of the Anxi army had no intention of intercepting them.In fact, he didn't know that Ye Xian had already ordered the cavalry of Wei State not to care about the infantry at all, because it would be more difficult for the Jie cavalry and infantry to form a single formation.But once they divide their troops, the Anxi cavalry will relieve a lot of pressure.The infantry also has enough strength to respond to the charge of the cavalry.The infantry formation was actually a trap created by Ye Xian, but it was beyond Ye Xian's expectation that the Jie cavalry could persist until now.

Ji Hade was safe and sound all the way, detoured for five or six miles, and then aimed at the infantry formation of the Wei Guoan Western Army.The large infantry formation of Wei State is already in sight, but it is only a few miles away.At this time, Jihad had already shown a ferocious smile.Infantry faced the inherent disadvantages of cavalry.Jihad even felt that he had seen the scene where the infantry of the Anxi army was killed by them, and there was not even a Juma and a deer village in front of the Anxi army formation. Jihad thought that the Anxi army was too careless. He even looked down on the impact of their Jie cavalry, so he yelled loudly and urged his soldiers to speed up the charge towards the infantry formation of the Anxi army.

At this time, Jie Qi didn't even draw his bow to mount and shoot.The Mongolian cavalry and archery, which was blown up by the heavens in later generations, actually couldn't take advantage of the Han infantry's crossbow formation.Otherwise, it is impossible for Ming Taizu and Chengzu to beat the Mongols to find the north.The successful invasion of the Central Plains by the Mongols and the Manchu Qing mainly relied on two circumstances. The Southern Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty were too dark in government and the army was too corrupt.The second is to use a large number of traitors.Since ancient times, all those who died in the Han Dynasty were Han people.Jihad has long suffered from the Han people's crossbow formation, like Ma Qiu's [-]-step cavalry attacking Liangguo, but Xie Ai used the bow and crossbow formation to shoot him three times and collapsed.

Even Jihad didn't even do a swabbing action, because he urgently needed to break the deadlock on the battlefield.Compared with the Han people, the population of the Jie people is really small.The more than [-] Jie people who migrated to the Central Plains were all killed by Ran Min, and there were actually not too many Jie people in Shiguo.The death of one more Jie person on the battlefield is a huge loss to Shi Guo.Jihad charged against the crossbow array of the infantry of the Wei State Anxi Army, and after paying three or four thousand cavalry, he finally rushed into the [-]-step distance of the Wei State infantry defense line.

At this distance, the infantry of the Anxi Army of the Wei State had only one chance to shoot the crossbow. As long as they withstood the huge casualties this time, they could slaughter the soldiers of the Anxi Army wantonly.However, an accident happened at this time.I saw a commander of the infantry regiment of the Anxi Army shouted, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the infantry formation of the Anxi Army. None of these hundreds of soldiers even held weapons and ran to the front of the formation with bare hands.

Ji Hade was very surprised, he thought that these Wei soldiers ran out and surrendered.Ji Hadd yelled: "Han dogs are nothing more than that, Capricorn warriors, kill them all!"

But these unarmed Wei soldiers did not come to surrender. They took more than ten steps and stopped immediately. They were almost less than thirty steps away from Jieqi's forward. The rope on the ground, and then ran to the back of the formation neatly.

A series of flat refusal carbine guns suddenly erected on the ground.The plane refusal carbine is actually not an advanced weapon, but denial is a very effective way to deal with cavalry.Although Juma and Luzhai can delay the attack of the enemy cavalry, they do little damage to the enemy cavalry.The enemy is not blind, and will not bump into it.But the planar refusal is extremely sudden.At this time, Jie Qi was less than ten steps away from the flat refusal carbine gun erected by the tree.As we all know, the horse can reach a top speed of 65 kilometers per hour when charging.At such a speed, it may not be possible to stop a car with an emergency brake within ten steps, let alone a war horse.Under the action of huge inertia, it was impossible for those Jie tribe light cavalry to stop immediately, and the height of the flat carbine gun just restricted them from jumping over with their horses, which was like a wall suddenly erected in front of them. They had nothing to do but to run into it helplessly.

So Jihad and his group of cavalry just watched the planes of repelling guns appearing in front of them helplessly, but they could only pull the reins of the horses in panic and hit them directly.The result was miserable. Many soldiers and horses who rushed to the front were immediately stabbed to death by the horse-rejecting guns with great inertia.

What's even more tragic is that at this time, Wei's flat horse-repelling spears were no longer wooden spears in the hands of infantry, but were built with elites, and it was impossible for them to be broken by war horses.Some people tried to cross the plane with their horses, but the distance was too close and the time was too short. It was impossible for a strong man to jump over such a high plane. He barely jumped up, but he could only be pierced to death on the flat carbine gun. He died in front of the carbine gun with a broken stomach on the spot, and even the cavalry on his back was pierced through his lower body. On top of the carbine.

The soldiers and horses in the back couldn't stop at all, and bumped into the soldiers and horses in front one after another, causing more casualties. Only the last cavalry, relying on superb riding skills, struggled to pull the reins, Turning around to the sides, it was only possible to avoid the planes and horses, and narrowly escaped the end of the gut.

But at this moment, when Jihad counted the steps, he suddenly became desperate.The sudden erection of a flat carbine gun actually caused him five or six thousand cavalry casualties.He used to have nearly 9000 cavalry, but at this time there were only [-] left, and more than half of them were casualties.

However, at this moment.The Jie tribe Qingqi was shocked by the sharp fighting style of the Wei army's infantry. They really didn't expect that the soft persimmon in their eyes would be so tricky.

Ye Xian saw the meritorious deeds of the infantry through the binoculars, and was immediately overjoyed, and ordered: "All generals, obey the commander's order, and the whole army will attack in an all-round way!"

With the order of the Anxi army's central army to attack, especially those servants and the shepherds of the Western Regions, they saw that the Wei infantry was so strong that they ate up more than ten thousand Jie tribe cavalry in less than two quarters of an hour. .You must know that the fierceness and brutality of the Jie people are not only famous in the Central Plains, but they are also the only ones among the more than [-] countries in Central Asia.It’s just that the Jie people have a very bad reputation. Once the Shi Kingdom expands abroad, the Central Asian countries will unite to suppress it, just like the German army back then. They resisted the whole of Europe with the strength of one country.The Jie tribe, on the other hand, used the power of one tribe to resist the entire Central Asian countries.If the Jie people really produce a hero like Shi Le and Cheng Xie Sihan, perhaps Shi Guo can become the overlord of Central Asia.It's just a pity that Shi Le was just a slave in Shi Kingdom, and he was released from slavery only after being sold to the Central Plains because of Liu Yuan's appreciation.

Now the fierce and famous Jie people have suffered such a miserable defeat in front of Wei Guoan's Western Army, which makes the servants of Central Asian countries deeply feel fear.They have even remembered that their ancestors told them that the Han people are the most annoying.Dawan Kingdom is also one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions, but because of offending the great Han, the Han people traveled thousands of miles to Dawan to destroy the country.Perhaps because of the long time, they have long forgotten the legend in the mouth of their ancestors, "One Han is against a hundred Hu!"

"It turns out that the legend is true, and the Han people are really so powerful!"

"More than 1 Jie people have died. I think the Wei and Han troops lost no more than a hundred people."

"Bullshit, where there are hundreds of people, there are not dozens of people."

"Fortunately, we are on Wei's side, otherwise we wouldn't even know how to die."

"It's no wonder that the Khan of the Heda Empire led an army of hundreds of thousands to march eastward, but they were almost wiped out by Wei Guoan's western army. It seems that there are not many people left in the army of the Heda Empire."

"Then we have to hurry up. If Marshal Ye sees that we are so useless, he probably won't give us good looks!"

The servants of the Central Asian countries and the shepherds of the Western Regions who originally planned to retreat or turn against each other when the opportunity was not good, also became excited at this time, and they clamored to participate in the attack.

But when the generals of the servant army and the cavalry generals of various countries in the Western Regions challenged Ye Xian, major changes had taken place on the battlefield.Ji Hade was stunned on the spot, but the infantry of the Western Army of Wei Guoan was the sword and shield soldiers in front, the spearmen were second, and the crossbowmen once again launched a counterattack against the Jie Qingqi.Once these Jie cavalry want to fight back with cavalry and shooting, the sword and shield soldiers set up their shields to protect the spearmen and crossbowmen behind them.Once the Jie Qingqi tried to attack, these infantry immediately changed their formation and put the spearmen on top.If they retreated, these Wei State crossbowmen would rush forward and shoot wildly.

Wei Guo's crossbow machine is indeed not very capable of piercing the fish scale armor made of Persian Wuzi steel, but the effect is very significant when facing this Wan Guo brand's Jie family light cavalry.

The crossbow arrows in the sky were like torrential rain, leaving no place for the huddled Jie tribe light cavalry to hide. They were quickly shot and killed in large numbers on the side of the plane, and the arrows of the crossbowmen were still there. Without stopping, they saw a large number of Anxi sword and shield soldiers and spearmen rushing up. They rushed up, holding swords and guns in their hands, and greeted the Jie tribe light cavalry together. This was simply a massacre. The corpses of Qingqi cavalry from the Jie tribe are all over the ground.

The wailing of the war horses and the miserable howls of dying people resounded through the battlefield. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining cavalry had to turn their horses' heads and flee desperately towards the road they came from.

On the other side of the battlefield, Ma Guangbi, who commanded his horse, had his leg broken by a horse, but he did not die.However, just as he regained his composure, he realized that the situation on the battlefield couldn't be worse.Not only did the elite cavalry of the Jie tribe lose their vigor and their losses were astonishing, but the light cavalry only escaped back with less than [-] cavalry.These light cavalry routs actually boosted the morale of the elite cavalry, and they also fell.
