Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 15
Chapter 015

Shi Ning and Cao Fuqu were ordered to come to the big tent of the Chinese army. They saw Ran Min, the chief general, Dong Run, the chariot general Zhang Wen, Su Yan, the prefect of Changshan, Zhang Ai, the captain of Shesheng, and the general of Shengjie army. Sun Wei, all have arrived!

All the generals congratulated Shi Ning and Cao Fuqu when they saw them!

Ran Min also praised Shi Ning and Cao Fuqu a few words, and they were very happy!
Ran Min then loudly encouraged the generals: "In today's first battle, the Yan thief has lost his spirit. As long as our army works hard to hold the position, the Yan thief army will be exhausted and exhausted in a few days. At that time, King Pengcheng will lead the army. With one blow, tens of thousands of bandit soldiers can be wiped out with one blow, and we, Great Wei, can get rid of this serious trouble, and everything will be safe.”

Everyone present was laughing, only Zhongshuling Liu Qun had a look of worry in his eyes, others didn't know, in fact he knew best, Ran Min didn't hide it from him, the number of the army that Ran Ming said was not small, King Pengcheng was a refugee Among them, five thousand young and strong men were selected, and together with the more than one thousand elite soldiers who had stayed in Fangfang County to resettle the refugees, they had gathered nearly seven thousand troops!Ran Ming has already arrived from Fangfang County, and calculating the time, the whole army will arrive within seven days at most.

There are only more than 1000 combat-capable sergeants in the Ran Ming Department, but those refugees are young and strong, so how can they have any combat effectiveness!

Although Liu Qun had hidden worries, the entire tent of the Chinese army was full of joy. Large pieces of horse leg meat were placed on the case. The Wei army was short of food, and food was scarce. They hadn't eaten such a rich meal for a long time!The generals ate so much that their mouths were full of oil!

In fact, the taste of this kind of horse meat is not very good. There is no condiment, just put a little salt, and cook it directly in a large pot. One can imagine how the taste will be?
However, the joy cannot be concealed!

Compared with the beaming atmosphere of the Wei Army Camp, the opposite Yan Army Camp can be described as bleak!This is the end of the He Xiaolou clan. There were originally six or seven thousand young and strong members of the clan. Annexed by other tribes!The atmosphere of the entire Yan army camp was dull at this time, and the soldiers of the Yan army lit fires, drinking water and eating dry food in silence.

Seeing the tragic situation of He Xiaolou's family, they couldn't help feeling a sense of sorrow for the deathless fox in their hearts!

And the generals in the Chinese army tent of Yan Jun Murong Ke are also lifeless!At this time, after being reconnaissance by the skilled scouts in Murong Ke's army, Murong Ke had put a map of the Wei army's camp in front of him.
At this time, Murong Ba said: "What a vicious battle formation, I'm sure that this kind of defensive formation of the camp must be what Wei Lord Ran Min thought. It really deserves to be defeated by "Marquis Saiwu" Li Nong Characters, the ability to arrange troops like this, if you look at it in the tent, no one can do it!"

Murong Ba was the former captain of Yanqi in the sixth year of the former Yan (339), and followed his elder brother Murong Ke (the fourth son of Murong Hao) to attack Yuwen Biebu.At that time, Murong Ba was only 13 years old, but he won the three armies bravely, and he was named "Sudden General".Before the expedition, he paid homage to the governor of the forward and the general of Jianfeng.

Murong Ke also said: "After today's attack by He Xiaolou (it is probably a transliteration, this is not a Chinese name. Just like Murong, which is actually the pronunciation of Buyao in Xianbei, which means a beautiful and beautiful hat), the defense of the Wei army camp It is clear that it is surrounded by earth walls on four sides, about one person high. There are six flat passages, and the rest are low walls and ditches, which are not easy to cross. In every passable passage, there must be horses, shield soldiers and a large number of spearmen Defensively, these six passages are about [-] meters long and more than ten to twenty steps wide, such a narrow passage, our Dayan cavalry cannot deploy at all!"

Today, these Yan generals have watched He Xiaolou's attack, and they have a new understanding of the Wei army's combat effectiveness and the strength of the camp's defense. Don't say that He Xiaolou's troops are not strong in the Xianbei army, even if they are replaced by themselves. , I'm afraid it's hard to escape the result of failure!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mu Yugen, general of Guangwei, said hastily, "Wei army's earth wall is low. When our army attacked, the archers in the rear could not cover the impact of the warriors in front. If you want to shoot forcefully, you will only shoot your own soldiers." So if you want to break the Wei army formation, you must first fill up the trenches in front of the formation and tear down this low wall!"

Murong De pondered: "The trench is easy to say, we have a lot of people, each person has a bag of earth and rocks, and we can fill the trench in half a day, but behind the low wall there are Wei soldiers guarding them, we can't shoot them with arrows, because we can't shoot them because They were so close to the low wall that there was no way to shoot them!"

Before Murong De could finish speaking, General Shentu of Lingye interrupted directly: "Why bother, there are many warriors in my clan, they can be mounted as cavalry, dismounted can also fight on foot, they can lift heavy shields to advance, directly from the I don't believe that if they go inside the tunnel, whoever Wei Jiang can get a blow from me!"

Shentu's weapon is an extra-large mace, weighing more than [-] kilograms. One stick can break a cow in half. Ordinary soldiers can't stand his blow!
Murong Ba said: "There are many wooden shields in our army. Although those wooden shields are thick and heavy, with the joint efforts of all warriors, they can still lift over the low walls and push forward to every trench..." But when it comes to this, Murong Ba also understands, Even so, how many trenches would have to be filled in the end, and the blood of the warriors of the tribe would have to be paid.After all, there are many gaps in the earth wall of the Wei army. Behind the earth wall, there are many gaps, and there will be firepower, especially the armor-piercing heavy crossbow of the Wei army, which can even penetrate the armor of the heavy cavalry. how many people……"

At this time, Murong Ke's joining the army shouted loudly: "Actually, there are tricks for humble positions. The Wei army is short of food. We can surround the Wei army until they run out of food before fighting!"

"Put your mother's shit on!" Mu Yugen scolded: "Wei army doesn't have much food, do we have much food? One person eats one bucket of food a day, and war horses need three buckets. 14 soldiers and horses, how much do we need to consume in a day? Few, but they have fewer people, only more than 1000 cavalry, more than [-] people, I am afraid that the Wei army will run out of food first, and our Dayan army will run out of food first!"

After being scolded by Mu Yugen, Gao Kai repeatedly accompanied him, there was no way, who called him a Han, Han people in Yan State rarely served as officials, they could only act as aides, slaves and handmaids, their status was low!
"Enough!" Murong Ke saw the strange atmosphere in the tent, and said lightly: "Everyone, go back and rest. Tomorrow will show off the general Xian Yuliang. Lead an army of [-] and continue to attack!"

Xian Yuliang, born in Zhao Longxiang Army, is famous for his bravery.Because he is not from Xianbei, let alone from the Murong tribe of Yan State, he is destined to be cannon fodder!
Xian Yuliang knew that Murong Ke used him as cannon fodder, but Murong Ke's father, Murong Hao, had the kindness to know him, even if he died, he would not have two minds!

The next day, Xian Yuliang was wearing a light green war robe and an armor embroidered with red thread, riding a gray and spotted white horse with a saddle decorated with gold and silver.Holding a long-handled willow-moon-shaped broadsword in his hand, he was very cold.Two thousand cavalry from the governor's headquarters rushed away like lightning.Behind him, there are other [-] Xianbei Yan troops. Of course, these are not the direct descendants of the central government of the Yan Kingdom. The people of the Murong Department, like Xian Yuliang, are all marginal figures of the Yan Kingdom, cannon fodder that can be sacrificed!
The black Wei army formation is like a hard rock, let you blow and rain, I will not move like a mountain!
"kill!"

The Shesheng school lieutenant in the rear army suddenly opened his eyes, "The entire army of the Shesheng battalion obeys the order, and the armor-piercing arrows are fired!"

The Shesheng Captain Zhang Ai gave the order, and the soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion lurking behind the low wall raised their crossbows one after another.At this time, Xianyu Liang's army was too strong, with more than [-] cavalry, the infantry in the gap alone might not be able to stop it!So when Xian Yuliang's army passed the first low wall of Wei's army, Zhang Ai ordered to shoot the Sheng army!
The so-called armor-piercing heavy arrow is actually a kind of triangular arrow, also known as armor-piercing cone. The armor-piercing arrow tip is harder and longer than ordinary arrows, enough to penetrate fine iron armor and tear the enemy's muscles and bones.Especially the armor-piercing arrows fired from the crossbow are more powerful!
Armor-piercing arrows fired from a heavy armor-piercing crossbow can pierce two layers of heavy armor within thirty steps, one layer at fifty steps, and can still pierce leather armor at a distance of one hundred steps. The heavy cavalry who arrived at the Yan army were still alive and dead at a distance of thirty steps.

The black arrows flew into the sky like a flock of dead crows. The arrows pierced the air, and the bowstring rebounded and rubbed against the air violently, making a sharp whistling sound.At the same time, the cavalry of Xianyu Liangbu's Yan Army who had almost rushed to the edge of the low wall was thrown into chaos by a rain of arrows!

Xian Yuliang is not the direct line of the Yan army, let alone the main force of Murong's department, so his subordinates are not well equipped, barely enough for everyone to wear armor. Of course, they are all wearing leather armor!The low wall is exactly thirty steps away from the passage. At this distance, even hoplites cannot escape.Thirty steps away, using expensive armor-piercing heavy arrows to deal with light cavalry, this can definitely be called an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes!Too extravagant!

Those Yan army cavalry who were shot at non-critical parts such as the torso and limbs could still struggle a bit, but if they were shot directly at the heart and head, they would be killed without even a groan.Xian Yuliang was also taken aback. He watched He Xiaolou's attack yesterday and knew that there were no Wei army archers on the low wall. Their generals didn't even raise the most basic leather shields.Facing the sudden crossbow arrows, Xian Yuliang's reaction could be described as unpleasant, otherwise, this wave of arrow rain would be enough to kill him, he reacted extremely fast.

He immediately hid in a beautiful kick, avoiding the rain of arrows, but his beloved horse was not so lucky, several thick armor-piercing cones were fiercely inserted into the horse's head and chest , this beloved horse that has been with him for five years has finally fulfilled his duty!

"Enemy attack, fight!" Xian Yuliang roared, "Strike back with bow and arrow!"
