Chapter 333: : War is like fire

Looking at the main battlefield in Luoyin, the Qiang army on all sides of the Han military camp was mobilized very frequently. The offensive Qiang army was at least about 60,000, and there were more Qiang troops on standby outside. ?

If it were not for the terrain restrictions, in fact Yao Yizhong would like to put all the troops except the reserve team into the offensive. He has been very manic recently. The reason is of course that Sun Fudu and Liu Kai, as teammates, failed to attack and turned into a defensive position. Then, Liu Yan was tortured by the inexhaustible cavalry.

It's really endless! Regardless of how many Qiang soldiers battled against the five thousand cavalry of the Han army the day before, the cavalry of the Han army that fought the next day was still about five thousand, for Yao Yizhong, it is not as simple as that strange. He is A sense of confusion that is approaching madness.

The cavalry of the Han cavalry who went out of the camp lost nearly four thousand fronts and backs, and the Qiang cavalry that fought with them lost close to 13 thousand. That's the advantage brought by Yao Yizhong's repeated compression of the space for the cavalry of the Han army.

Yao Yizhong repeatedly thought that the cavalry in Liu Yan's hands should not consume much if he fights again. The heck is that the number of cavalry sent out by the Han army has not changed at all. Yao Yizhong will try to engage in sexual activity, because he found that Liu Yan's latest dispatch of cavalry to fight in the battalion has reached 7,000, and he became violent under the mentality of hell, and then there was the one who blocked the aid of the Han army. One of the two roads is already under-supported.

What was difficult to support was the Qiang troops that blocked the way that came to aid the cavalry. The number of Han troops who successfully set foot on the north bank of Jishui on this road has exceeded 20,000. There is also a group of about 3,000 armor and equipment on the battlefield. They wiped out the thousands of Qiang people who were fighting with them for the first time. The troops, Hu Yansheng, who led the battle, retired for twenty miles and rushed to Yao Yizhong.

That was a heavy cavalry. Hu Yansheng was really terrified by the fact that the 6th ground is recognized as the strongest unit in the world, especially when the Hu Ben army wiped out more than 10,000 troops as soon as he came out.

Now that all the armor and equipment of the Han army appeared, Yao Yizhong didn't know how he would not try to attack, the encirclement would soon be broken through. He deeply believes that if there is a gap in the encirclement, Liu Yan will definitely choose to break through, after all, as long as he is an individual, he would not want to be surrounded.

Yao Yizhong is guessing Liu Yan with a normal mentality. It has to be said that Yao Yizhong is wrong in thinking so.

Because some types of supplies can be obtained directly from the town center, Liu Yan’s grain does not depend on the logistics line, and the blacksmith’s shop and other buildings will not lack armor and equipment and troops as long as they are sufficient. To speak of it, Liu Yan will not care at all Whether he is besieged or not, the only thing that will give Liu Yan a sense of crisis is not being able to hold on to it. As long as Liu Yan can hold on, war of attrition and besieged are not a disadvantage at all.

A kind of urgent psychology made Yao Yizhong anxious. He believed that after he could not delay, the tentative total attack broke out today.

"Your Majesty, it's time to send out the cavalry." Ji Chang said Yao Yizhong's obvious intentions, and said with a slight weight: "Under this situation, we must seize the initiative."

That's all nonsense. It can be imagined that facing Yao Yi Zhongdong's general attack, Ji Chang felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

"Our peripheral reinforcements are about to break through the line of containment." Instead of using questioning sentences, Sang Yu said solemnly: "It's time to block the river, right?"

Liu Yan agreed with what Ji Chang and Sang Yu said.

Now that there are reinforcements to break through Yao Yizhong's blocking line, Yao Yizhong's elite troops have also appeared. Previously, it was suspected that Yao Yizhong had not mobilized all his troops to the south bank of the Yellow River, but now he no longer has such doubts. Then it means that the goal Liu Yan wants is basically achieved, and it is really time to enter the decisive battle stage.

If Yao Yizhong has a choice, he will choose to enter the general offense in the middle of the fall. It's only mid-summer, the livestock has not raised fat, and the weather is really too hot. It's really not a good time to start a war.

In many cases, there is simply no choice, just like Yao Yizhong had to lead his army to Qingzhou instead of marching his army to the northwest to fight Zhang's Liangguo.

"Military owner, the Han army dispatched cavalry, divided into two, one to attack the east, the other to attack the south."

"Strength distribution?"

"Return to the army owner: The Han cavalry in the east should be five thousand, and the Han cavalry in the south should be about three thousand."

Yao Yizhong, who heard the report, was actually quite speechless. If he had any impression, he was criticizing the increase in the number of cavalry in the Han army.

One thing Yao Yizhong was extremely certain was that there really were no reinforcements to break through the encirclement and enter Liu Yan's camp. In this way, he only got an explanation. The number of Han troops at the beginning was definitely not 30,000, and the current cavalry was not the real number Liu Yan had on hand.

"Attack! We must attack the Han Barracks today!"

"Yes!"

Yao Yizhong’s elite troops are equipped infantry, but they are not heavily equipped infantry. In any age, as long as they wear iron armor, they can be called armored soldiers, but not all armored soldiers are heavy infantry. The style of armor, and how many layers of armor to wear.

The Qiang people should be called elite troops of about 40,000. The source of their troops is selected from millions of Qiang people who are fierce and capable warriors. The number of assault cavalry is four thousand, and the number of equipped infantry is more than ten thousand. The remaining 14,000 weapons are relatively sophisticated but only wear leather armor.

Of course, 40,000 is only the amount brought by Yao Yizhong, and there must be others scattered everywhere, that is, the armor and equipment will not be so sophisticated.

The Central Plains was arbitrarily raged by the Husbands, not only the agricultural production was severely damaged, but the productivity of craftsmanship also declined. The more important point is that the Hu people are just reckless about mining. Prospecting relies on the Jin people. If you want to make weapons and armor, there are often craftsmen who have enough resources.

Shijie Zhao said that the country is worse than a multi-tribe alliance, and it is more like a joint alliance of the Jie, Qiang, and Di tribes. Although they also have a national framework, their chaotic politics coupled with the Jie’s mentality of governing the Central Plains, national strength It is in a downward trend rather than an upward trend.

Yao Yizhong can also make up more than 10,000 troops wearing metal, and Fu Hong of the Di tribe can make up four to five thousand, even if it is the sky. This is also the difference between the historical background of the ethnic group and the mastery of the territory, just as the Jie ethnic group can use more resources as the overlord of the Central Plains.

The main attack position of the Qiang is to the north. After half a month of their operations, the topography is different from before the war. Too many man-made fortifications seem to be chaotic, but it is necessary to be careful to distinguish the cavalry's offensive channel.

Liu Yan sent cavalry to deal with the east and south, but for the north, he could only send out the infantry to attack.

Almost the attacking Qiang troops approached a distance of about a hundred paces. The rumbling drums were blasted at the camp on the north side of the Han army. Several gates were greatly opened. First, a large number of sword and shield soldiers poured out, but behind it was a tower. Shield soldiers as the second batch, followed by spearmen and the rest of the arms.

The attacking Qiang troops have reached a distance of about a hundred steps from the Han army, which means that the Qiang archers are also within their range. The battlefield is currently in a scene where arrows fly back and forth like migratory locusts, all the time. Someone fell down with an arrow. The most terrifying thing is the Han army's crossbows, bed crossbows, and stone throwing carts. Even if they are formed into a shield formation, they can't resist the thick crossbow arrows, let alone stop the falling stone bullets.

As soon as the sword and shield soldiers leave the camp, they raise their round shields and charge directly towards the enemy. The target of the charge is the trench. When they move forward, they face the arrows shot by the enemy. Every moment someone falls in the middle of the charge. .

The tower shield soldiers went out of the camp for a certain distance and began to form a shield formation. First, a few people formed a small shield formation, and then used the small shield formation to form a large shield formation. In the process, some people continued to fall with arrows.

When the Han army went out to fight, the Qiang army was actually more happy than the others. Before the Han army went out of the camp, the number of the Qiang troops who attacked the north side would not fall below 3,000, and the number of Han soldiers they killed or killed before that would never exceed a hundred.

Originally, Ji Chang suggested that the dump truck should be changed to throwing fire oil tanks, but Liu Yan did not adopt it.

Yes, the kerosene tank has been prepared for a long time, but it has never been shot from beginning to end. They are Liu Yan's preparations to be used at the most critical time. There has been no crisis in the previous battle, and there is no goal worthy of fire oil tanks.

"Waiting for the fleet to block the Yellow River and cut off Yao Yizhong's retreat." Liu Yan showed a cruel expression on his face, and said with a grin: "They may become key objects for the enemy to force down."

Liu Yan's heart is still very big. What he wants is not only to defeat Yao Yizhong, nor to simply annihilate him. If he can force hundreds of thousands of enemy troops to surrender and make prisoners of war become labor, wouldn't it be better than killing them all?

Of course, Liu Yan's heart is big enough, but it is uncertain whether the situation can be carried out as planned.

"The progress of the war has been considered very fast." Liu Yan said with emotion: "On the one hand, Yao Yizhong wants to defeat us quickly so that he can use the northwest area to deal with Zhang's Liangguo; on the other hand, Shihu keeps urging. ."

That's right, the total number of troops dispatched by the two sides is hundreds of thousands. It is normal for an army of this size to fight for several years. It has only been half a month from contact to entering the decisive battle stage, which is already very hasty.

"Zhang Jun has taken advantage." Sang Yu said with a smile: "Yao Yizhong is here to Qingzhou, not to move northwest. Should we ask for some benefits from Liangguo?"

Sang Yu could still laugh because he saw that his tower shield soldiers had built a shield wall about five to six hundred meters in length, and the shield wall was slowly pushing forward with the sound of chants. The crossbowmen kept shooting crossbow arrows.

Under the continuous coverage of the continuous crossbowmen of the Han army, the archers on the Qiang side suffered heavy casualties. The result was that the long-range troops on the Han side were still fiercely demonstrating that the arrows were raining, and the long-range troops on the Qiang side had become Coward.
