Sweep the World

Chapter 201: : Bloody offense and defense

Can the enemy concentrate their energy and attention to attack the camp on the edge of the glue? That's exactly what Liu Yan wanted? 12??!

The scope of the camp is not small, it is close to the glue river bed, and the pontoon bridge connecting the two banks can be built at any time if you want. Originally, the bridge was built to attract the enemy to attack. Unexpectedly, the enemy would use the camp as the main target of attack before it was used.

Want to come too? The Han Tribe in Xia Mi has long put on a defensive attitude. As long as the Zicheng and Yingzhai are still in the hands of the Han Tribe, the main city of Xia Mi is not a lonely city.

The Art of War has repeatedly emphasized the importance of "strike its weakness". No matter how the Yao family has a higher level of Sinicization than other Hu people, how can Yao Lan and Yao Jing, who have received Sinicization education, forget this?

For the Yao Jiajun led by the Yao family brothers and the Qingzhou army led by Liu Zheng, it is inevitable to attack the Mizhu city and the sub-city, but the main city and the sub-city have perfect wall fortifications, and it will be more difficult to attack. The camps with only wooden fences and a few lines of defense laid out by the horses seem to be more aggressive.

The war is about logistics and morale. As long as the camp can be captured, the morale of the Han tribe will be lowered. After the coalition forces have tested the main city and sub-city of Xia Mi, they should have a clear choice after finding that it is not easy to gnaw. Obviously the camp where hand-to-hand combat occurred. This local battlefield will become the main target.

The camp is built on the edge of glue, which means that one side is a waterway. It is not impossible to attack, but at least a boat is needed. The coalition forces brought artisans, but artisans can build equipment on land does not mean that they know how to build surface boats. After all, everything is talking about specialization in the art industry.

Except for the water channel on the other side, the north side of the Yingzhai was dug into potholes, and some water sources were introduced. The terrain on the north side formed a puddle-rich terrain, which made it difficult to form a formation. The only directions that the coalition can attack are west and south, and these two directions are obviously left deliberately, and the fortifications at the two positions are destined to be strengthened.

Yao Jing stayed to deal with the lower secret main city. The intensity of the war was not as strong as it was at the beginning, but Yao's army is still sending troops to test and harass.

Yao Lan personally reinforced the troops to approach the Han camp on the west bank of Jiaoshui. When they arrived, it happened to be the Han defenders counterattacking.

"Dispatch the cavalry!" A cruel grin appeared on Yao Lan's face: "A bunch of things that don't know how to live or die, dare to leave their camp to pursue it?"

In fact, the soldiers of the Han soldiers who went out of the camp to pursue the enemy were already retreating when they found that the enemy had reinforcements. It was just that the remnants of the offensive side found reinforcements. The morale was boosted, and they dared to muster the courage to bite a part of them. The chasing Han soldiers.

With the roar of horseshoes, there should be about two thousand Yaojia cavalry slammed into the battlefield arbitrarily. After the horseshoes stepped on, it was no distinction between the enemy and me. Everyone who stood in the way became muddy under the footsteps of the horseshoes.

Killed part of your own remnants? Yao Lan didn't care about those. He personally sounded the horn of the charge and ordered the cavalry to take advantage of the situation.

Obviously there was a panic in the Han tribe on the camp side. It was because some fast runners wanted to withdraw to the camp. Some spearmen and archers were ordered to organize defenses. The entrance and exit of the camp gate naturally seemed a bit chaotic.

"Bastard!" Xi Qianjian's full-faced Tieqing, pointed at the slave soldier who had warned many times and still blocked the gate, yelling: "Arrow!"

In fact, not many people were shot dead, but his side actually shot arrows to clear the field, and the slave soldiers who blocked the gates were taught by the blood and could only retreat to both sides honestly.

"It's late." Xi Qianjian was very annoyed. Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing towards the camp, he had to issue new instructions: "The spearmen rely on the Muzha spears; the archers are ready!"

Not only do commands rely on roaring, but the semaphore must also keep up. If you don’t just roar on the noisy battlefield, the command will not go far.

An ordinary person sprints at full speed up to eight to nine meters per second. Do you know how fast a qualified horse can sprint at full speed? The full strength of the horse is about fifteen to sixteen meters in one second!

The Yao Cavalry who rushed into the camp was still four to five hundred meters away for an instant, but it took less than thirty breaths (about thirty seconds) to rush to the front.

The Yaojia cavalry are obviously good riders. Only a few of them hit obstacles such as refusing horses, and most of them stepped over, forming a torrent.

"Archery!"

The command was given, but the arrows shot in the first round looked sloppy, causing extremely limited damage to the Yaojia cavalry who charged.

The arrows became denser only in the second round. It was the archers in the camp who stabilized and began to release arrows in turn following the command.

The archers of the camp defenders stopped after only five rounds of shooting. The Yao family cavalry had already approached.

Spears were erected in some positions of the camp, but some were not. Fortunately for Xiqian Jianjian, the refusal of horses under the gate position played a role. There were only a dozen seemingly elite Yaojia cavalry. The abduction was blocked by a phalanx formed by spearmen when the maximum speed was lost.

A large number of cavalry rushed to the camp, resulting in the sound of collision and horse hiss everywhere, and naturally there would be no shortage of people's screams.

From the perspective of the overall situation, the front side of the camp with a diameter of more than a thousand meters, under the footsteps of too many horseshoes, billowing dust and smoke, listening to the sound is everywhere are staged collisions, horses and howls have become the most appearing on the battlefield. sound.

Yao Lan couldn't see clearly what was going on ahead through the dust and smoke. He frowned when he heard the horn sounded in front of him: "Blow the trumpet and let the cavalry retreat."

Obviously, the Yaojia cavalry had a simple communication through the sound of the horn, and the cavalry who rushed into the camp were blocked and could not attack.

Xiqian Jiantong was also unable to check the battle. He could only judge from the noisy and messy sounds. Before he could make a prediction, after the sound of the two horns, the hooves of rolling horses disappeared.

The smoke made up of dust was blown away by the wind, and the front of the camp was full of chaos, with lying horses and the remains of war dead everywhere, and the wounded and howling wounds were indispensable.

The cavalry rushing into the camp not only appeared to be mammoth, and the damage caused was not light at all. Some parts of the horse were destroyed in pieces, but the corpses left behind in the spikes also played a role.

"Treat the wounded, re-arrange the horse, and tidy up the Mucha!" Xi Qian Jiantong was breathing hard, and a series of orders had just been given, but his expression stiffened when he heard the horn blown on the opposite side again, and revised the military order: " The auxiliary soldiers carry the wounded down and prepare for battle!"

How could Yao Lan give the camp's defenders time to rearrange? When his cavalry withdrew, he launched another attack. Nearly five thousand infantrymen stepped on chaotic footsteps and were already charging.

"Hiss!!!" It wasn't a toothache that made this sound. Yao Lan listened to the casualties: "Did you lose about four hundred rides?"

After a visual inspection, the Yao family's loss should be close to 400 horses, but it is not easy to say how much damage it caused to the Han defenders in the camp. It is estimated that it was close to 600? That's tantamount to no one to two.

Originally, if the cavalry could rush into the camp, they would definitely be able to rush from the left to the right. Maybe they would be able to break through several lines of defense at once, squeeze the space of the Han battalion, and it would be the same if they didn't attack and were blocked by the result.

Yao Lan is distressed, but isn't war like this? Like a gambler, you don't miss any chance, the difference is whether you win or lose. He thought he had more chips than Liu Yan, and he continued to bet once he lost.

Five thousand Yao Jiajun shouted and charged, and another five thousand were gathered behind as the second step. Yao Lan made up his mind to show offensive fire, and did not intend to leave the camp defenders for a moment.

The charging Yao Jiajun was quickly blocked by the archer’s arrows from the camp’s defending army. That kind of continuous arrow formation was the first time Yao Jiajun had encountered it. The falling soldiers gave Yao Lan some gums while watching from a distance. It hurts.

"You can learn this kind of archery." Yao Lan's gums hurt even more: "Strictly ask them not to retreat!"

The unbroken arrow rain is too disgusting, far more disgusting than the intermittent arrow formation coverage, at least there are interruptions that can make people confuse.

In fact, the arrows of band shooting are really not that dense. The victory is that it will not be interrupted, and the psychological pressure on the party who is attacked by the arrow will be greater. It is a visual stimulus that always has a companion falling down, which makes people feel terrified when they hear the screams that continue to come.

"The Han Dynasty should not be allowed to rise." Yao Lan couldn't figure it out: "Liu Yan has only developed for four years and that's it. What would it be like if it were given another four years?"

Wang Teng, who came later, kept nodding his head: "The attack on the main city and the sub-city of Xia Mi was not smooth, especially the casualties of Liu Zheng who launched the storm."

"I will write to my uncle and raise some reinforcements if possible." Yao Lan said very seriously: "There is only a part of Liu Yan's army here~www.wuxiamtl.com~ I have not forgotten that there is a partial division."

"It's important to pay attention!" Wang Teng said with a smile: "Liu Zheng is also mobilizing reinforcements, thinking about it, he also thinks that Liu Yan must be eliminated in Xia Mi."

Ahead, the Yao Jiajun, who was strictly forbidden to retreat, finally rushed up with great casualties. After the first group of troops approached the walled city and started fighting, the second group of 5,000 people also launched a charge amid the sound of the horn.

"How many troops does Liu Yan have in total?" Yao Lan narrowed his eyes: "There are fifty thousand? One hundred thousand?"

Wang Teng raised his brows and did not speak.

"No matter how many troops Liu Yan has?" Yao Lan has full confidence: "As long as the Yao family's momentum is still there, you can gather Zonghu and Jin slave soldiers anytime and anywhere, and his army will never be more than us!"

Wang Teng "haha" laughed. The Yao family, the chief leader of the Qiang nationality, has this kind of background, or it should be said that as long as Yao Yizhong does not fall, they can really gather the army anytime and anywhere.

Not only the Yao family, but also the Fu family, the Shijie who ruled the Central Plains is even more so. This is the so-called general trend. (To be continued.)
