Devil’s Advent

Chapter 169: There is death but there is no life!

""Zheng Zi's Art of War"?"

Li Fusheng slammed his mouth, although he was a big bastard, he also knew how important the title "Zi" was.

I add "zi" after my surname, just like when introducing myself: Hello everyone, my surname is Zhang, and I am a genius. You can call me Zhang Tiancai.

There is a feeling of shamelessness.

But warriors are born with a feeling of opposition to civil servants, and it is a natural instinct to think that warriors are arrogant.

Therefore, under Li Fusheng's imagination, the so-called "Zheng Zi's Art of War", from the name, is completely a reflection of the absolute confidence of a warrior, the arrogance that tramples all the gentle beliefs of a literati under his feet!

Really, he likes it so much!

"Okay, when this battle is over, I'll read it too."

Zheng Fan still felt a little confused. To be honest, it has been almost a year since the world woke up. In fact, he really didn't do much about Wen Chaogong's business, and he only shared some golden sentences with the sixth prince.

Of course, this is also because the national conditions of the Yan State are very different from those of the Qian State, and there is not much market for copying official documents.

The most important thing is that Liang Cheng, who has always been taciturn, talks a little too much today.

However, this is not the time to whisper in private. The previous temptation has passed, and what to do next has to be decided quickly.

Li Fusheng looked at Liang Cheng and said:

"Has your master ever taught you what is the real key to victory on the battlefield?"

When Liang Cheng heard this, many pictures appeared in his mind.

Actually, to put it bluntly,

Li Fusheng was notorious in the desert for his passion for slaughtering tribes.

But Liang Chengtu fought more cities than Li Fusheng fought.

this problem,

It's like a child asking an old man:

Do you know what the meaning of life is?

Answer,

Liang Cheng must have something in his heart.

But the limelight I made today, oh no, it was the limelight made by my own master, already enough, if I continue to show the limelight, it will be a bit too demonic.

As for the so-called "Sun Tzu's Art of War", in fact, it is not a big deal even if it is completely copied. Only extremely naive people think that after reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War", they will fight wars.

This is the same as "Half the Analects of Confucius governing the world" and Huang Taiji and Dorgon all read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to learn the skills of war. Whoever believes is innocent.

Even if this book of war is submitted in the future, it should cause a lot of waves, but the waves are still controllable. In front of real veterans, this book is quite interesting and incisive.

"Please enlighten me, my lord." Liang Cheng replied.

Li Fusheng laughed loudly and said:

"Without him, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong!"

Wars are often endowed with many political factors, plus economics, culture, strategies, general trends, etc.,

But if these external factors are set aside,

Just look at the encounter in front of you,

whoever loses wins,

Doesn't it depend on the strength of soldiers and horses?

"Rush to the camp, line up!"

Following Li Fusheng's order, the Chinese army began to split up, and a group of thousands of riders began to line up, each rider holding a spear in his hand.

The weapon of the horse lance looks very similar to the spear and the spear that Western knights like to use, but in fact, it is more complicated and more expensive at the same time.

In ancient times, Ma Chan could be passed down as a family heirloom, and ordinary people could not afford to play with it or equip it.

The horse lance is divided into two parts: the lance front and the lance stem. The lance blade is 50-60cm long, far longer than ordinary guns and spear weapons. Glue glued together.

When a knight rides a horse to charge, holding a lance is tantamount to bringing terrible potential energy to the horse. With this inertia, combined with the knight's skillful horsemanship and use skills, it is enough to turn it into the most stalwart "blade" , Cut through all obstacles in front of you.

When the cavalry is duel, it is very effective. When it is against the infantry, it is still terrifying, just like the bed crossbow arrows shot in the previous army formation. Once the thousand cavalry start to charge, it is equivalent to a thousand A sword that was more terrifying than the bed crossbow shot at it, and several strings of candied haws could be hung on a horse's spear.

Of course, after this kind of charge, Ma Qian had to give up temporarily, and the knight had to draw out his close saber to continue fighting.

"No matter what tricks, plans, or thoughts the generals on the opposite side are playing, don't worry about it.

The road trodden by the iron hooves of our town's northern army is dust! "

Li Fusheng said this very proudly.

That's right, no matter what tactics the opposing generals are using, I'll just wash away the strongest part of your character formation, and let your tactics go to hell!

No matter how many schemes there are, no matter how wise he is, in the face of absolute strength, he will appear extremely pale and ridiculous.

What is absolute strength?

Previously, six thousand iron cavalry blocked the way, which could force the opposing generals to stand in place and dare not move rashly in the situation of sitting on 30,000 troops.

Li Fusheng stretched out his hand, and the soldiers on one side personally raised a horse spear.

Li Fusheng holds a lance in his left hand,

He didn't ask Zheng Fan, because he knew that a talent like Zheng Fan was not suitable for any accidents on the battlefield, at least, not suitable for the first wave of battle.

He was asking about Liang Cheng, and he asked:

"Dare to go with me!"

Liang Cheng didn't answer, but took the initiative to ride his horse forward, his arrogance seemed innate.

Li Fusheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying to Zheng Fan:

"Zheng Shoubei, can this person be handed over to me?"

Zheng Fan just smiled and didn't speak.

I want to give it, but they won't go with you.

Li Fusheng was just joking, this kind of general would not change his family, and the most important thing was the word "loyalty".

Under Li Fusheng's signal, a soldier handed his horse lance to Liang Cheng, and Liang Cheng picked it up.

Li Fu Shengce stepped forward immediately and came to the front of that Qianqi.

It seems that he intends to charge himself.

But no one dared to stop him, no one said that the general, you have a valuable status and command the army, so you can't easily get involved in danger.

This is Li Fusheng's style, he likes to kill, he likes to hear the screams of his enemies, and he likes the temperature of their blood splashed on his body.

Even though he is now the commander-in-chief, he still likes to rush to the front line.

Zheng Fan looked left and right,

Li Fusheng stepped forward, and Liang Cheng also stepped forward,

Next to him was a soldier who was also looking at Zheng Fan.

It seems that he only waited for Zheng Fan to signal, and he would hand over the horse lance in his hand to Zheng Fan.

Earlier, the conversation between the three of them was heard by the surrounding soldiers, although they didn't understand it, they felt it was serious.

But after Zheng Fan glanced at him, he quickly moved his gaze away and began to look into the distance, observing the distant clouds.

It's no problem for you to let Zheng Shoubei ride a horse and slash people. The strength of an eighth-rank martial artist plus the equestrian skills honed in the past six months is enough to achieve it.

But Zheng Shoubei has never played or practiced Ma Qian.

Of course, the most important thing is because this is going to fight!

Looking at the formation in front of the army as dense as a hedgehog,

If you go straight in,

No one thinks, it really is just an instant thing.

Zheng Shoubei was afraid of death, so he confessed.

No,

He has to be responsible for the other demon kings, and has to live well for them.

This made the soldier next to him a little embarrassed. He wanted to ask directly, but he was too embarrassed. In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ride forward to fill the position of rushing to the camp.

"Zhenbei Army!"

Li Fusheng let out a loud shout.

"Tiger!"

The next moment, Qianqi behind him put the horse spear in his hand on the ground together, making a neat clanging sound.

There is no need for messengers, because this is something that has been practiced countless times.

When the chief soldier of the family intends to personally lead the charge to break the camp, everyone knows how the rest of the ministries should cooperate.

The barbarians are the best sparring partners. They have already fought countless times in the desert.

So,

next moment,

One by one, the guerrilla generals began to direct their subordinates to adjust their positions, and one after another military orders began to be delegated.

This shows Li Fusheng's "reckless" character, and this kind of thing of leading the team to the battle is really not uncommon;

Secondly, it means that even if Li Fusheng Gapi dies in battle, his subordinates will not fall into a state of leaderless, because they are used to being leaderless.

for a while,

Except for Li Fusheng's thousand-armed battalion that remained motionless,

Nearly 20,000 cavalry of the northern army in the entire outer battlefield started to move. Outside the army formation, there was dust and horseshoes, and there was really a majestic momentum that was about to rain!

Zheng Fan could see the nervous expressions on the faces of the dry soldiers at the front, and at the same time, he silently put his hand on the saber.

The other hand was placed on the chest, feeling the existence of the magic pill.

Although he didn't need to charge, but he thought he would charge later.

call……

Looking at the longing expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army around them,

Zheng Fan found himself like a husky mixed into a large pack of wild wolves,

I can still hang around at ordinary times, and I can't see any obvious difference.

At the critical moment, I really showed my timidity.

A gust of wind blew over here, agitating the dust that had just been blown up even more exaggeratedly, but the 20,000 Northern Army knights in the town had already completed their preparations in a very short time.

Not counting the charge camp led by Li Fusheng himself, there are a total of seven cavalry phalanxes, and the two guerrilla generals who were originally in charge of intercepting are still in charge of the rear, and there is also a phalanx on each side of the east and west.

On both sides of the Chong camp, there is also a square formation, and behind the Chong camp, where Zheng Fan is, there is also a square formation.

When the wind began to subside gradually,

The atmosphere on the battlefield began to quiet down, even the horses under the knight's crotch pawed their hooves silently, not daring to make any more movements.

It's just that the sense of oppression brought by this quietness is several times that of before!

Li Fusheng raised the horse spear in his hand,

A long whistle came from Li Fusheng's mouth,

"Tiger!"

The Qianchong camp behind Li Fusheng began to smash the bottom of the horse hanging in his hand neatly on the frozen soil on the ground in a rhythm.

"Tiger!"

Immediately, the cavalry phalanx on both sides began to strike their own armor with their blades, passing on this rhythm.

The two army formations in the east and west directions were also infected and began to make the same movements,

in the end,

Like playing Mexican waves,

The two army formations responsible for cutting off the rear also made similar shouts.

Leaving aside the fact that the city gate that attacked Chuzhou City before was directly captured and entered,

at the moment,

This is the first battle of the Zhenbei Army going south to enter the border of the Qian Kingdom!

The first cavalry regiment in the world, their glory, their terror, and their demeanor, will be presented for the first time on this land belonging to a neighboring country, and will be presented to the soldiers of the Qian State.

This scene,

They have been waiting for a hundred years!

finally,

The wind blows up the dust,

The cavalry moved!

………

"Brother Dong Cheng, those crossbow shots just now were really enjoyable!"

In the central core area in the character-shaped shape of the Qianguo Army Formation, a young general said to the same young general who was riding a white horse beside him.

The young general who spoke first was Zhong Mao, a child of the Zhong family. Although he was a generation younger than Zhong Tianlang in terms of seniority, he was the grandson of Zhong Wenqin, the third younger brother of Zhong Wendao, but like Zhong Tianlang, he was hailed as the leader of the younger generation of the Zhong family. figure.

There is a similarity between Jiangmen Inheritance and the Civil Service Group. When cultivating the next generation of successors, both sides need to praise and build momentum.

But the environment in the army has its own particularities. First of all, if you don't have that ability, it will be difficult for you to be the leader, and the soldiers and horses under your command will not obey you.

Although there has not been another chaos of that scale in Dagan since the large-scale rebellion of the Southwest Chieftain was quelled, it is not just singing and dancing.

In fact, although Dagan is rich and has a vast land and resources, the peasant uprisings in Dagan can be said to be one after another. In addition, the Southwest Chieftain and the Northern Qiang tribe also come here from time to time, and some battles are still fought.

After being blown out of fame, civil servants can still go to idle yamen to take temporary posts. If the family's power is operated properly, they might even go to the Imperial Academy for a few years to be gilded.

But I have only heard of the mud-bodied officer, but I have rarely heard of the mud-bodied military general. Anyone who is made of mud tires must have died in battle long ago.

Of course, Zhong Tianlang, as Zhong Wendao's son, would naturally receive the greatest resource support from the Western Army. Compared with him, the support Zhong Mao received was far inferior.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be responsible for taking over the task of leading the heirs to the north.

Everyone knows that if you go to the front line early, you can find battles early, you can become famous, and you can get meritorious service more easily.

So Zhong Tianlang was the first batch to go northward with old Mr. Zhong, and Zeng Xueye entered Yan, picked up many military strongholds in succession, and already gained a great reputation as an army.

And he, Zhong Mao, had to lead the eight thousand Western Army infantry behind him to escort the equipment and the food and grass that were forcibly sent by the Chujun Jiedu envoy on the road and slowly set off on the road.

In fact, the young general in front of him was treated the same as himself, but the other party would obviously be better than himself in the future.

Moreover, the opponent's previous arrangement really made Zhong Mao feel admirable.

This young man's surname is Zu, and his name is Zu Dongcheng.

His father is the founder of the Ancestral Family Army, Zu Zhuming, known as Grand Marshal Zu.

Zhong Mao knew that the Ancestral Army at this time had great influence in the southeast of the Qian Kingdom. Given time, it might be another feudal town located in the southeast similar to the current Western Army!

In the past, maybe the ministers in the court would not allow such a situation to happen, and the officials would certainly not agree, but now that the Yan people are frequently creating friction in the north, and the situation is extremely tense, no matter how stupid the civil officials are At this time, we will suppress the power of generals. Of course, the division will still be divided, but it will not be the same as when we dealt with the thorny face.

If the ancestral army can really establish a feudal clan, the Zu Dongcheng in front of him must be the next generation leader of the southeast feudal clan.

"Brother Zhong is absurd. In fact, I didn't want to use the bed crossbow earlier." Zu Dongcheng said with a sigh.

Zhong Mao nodded.

Although the two young people came from different backgrounds, they were influenced by their parents since they were young, and they are already well-qualified, so they naturally have their own understanding in the military.

Zhong Mao knew that the sudden appearance of the Yan army's cavalry had already made the soldiers and horses under his command panic. In addition, the Yan people's sweeping shots put a lot of pressure on their own side. If they don't use some means to restrain themselves and let the Yan people shed some blood, the morale of the soldiers and horses under their command may fall into a low level, and they may even directly There is a breakdown.

Hole cards should naturally be hidden, and the later the better, but the situation is such that there is no room for hesitation.

The Eight Thousand Western Army led by Zhong Mao, as a transportation force, is naturally not considered the elite of the Western Army.

In addition, there are 5,000 brave soldiers who have just been recruited into the army by Beihe County. They are selected from the Xiang Army of Beihe County. When a disaster occurs, refugees will be added to prevent civil uprisings.

The army is used to maintain stability, but on the side of the Xiang Army, its role in maintaining stability is more thorough.

As for the nearly 10,000 Imperial Guards in Shangjing, their posture and temper are not small, but Zhong Mao knows that most of them are just putting on airs.

Otherwise, when the armies from all walks of life marched out a few days ago, there would not have been a joke that the Shangjing Garrison Camp, which was known as the 800,000 forbidden army, almost couldn't even gather 100,000 soldiers.

However, these days, the officials have been angry again and again, and many generals of the Forbidden Army have been relegated, which finally made the upper echelons of the Forbidden Army start to panic.

In addition, it is the 7,000 army of the ancestral family army. The first batch of the ancestral family army to go to the north was 50,000 troops. Zu Zhuming personally led it. After arriving in the north, Zu Zhuming transferred his son to lead the army to continue northward. Carried a lot of ordnance.

The Ancestral Army has always had two traditions, one is heavy on the army formation, and the other is heavy on ordnance.

All kinds of crossbows, artillery carts, chariots, etc., can often give people a refreshing feeling on the battlefield.

Pirates were rampant in the southeast of Qianguo, and there were even gangsters on the coast who joined forces with pirates, which once corrupted the situation in the southeast. That's when the Ancestral Family Army came into being. In ten years, Haibo was gradually pacified.

Behind Zhong Mao and Zu Dongcheng stood a young general in silver armor. This man was named Dou Guoming. The Dou family was the founding general of the country and had great influence among the Forbidden Army.

This time the 10,000 forbidden troops went north, and he was leading them.

On both sides of Dou Guoming's back, on the left, stood a bearded man, about thirty years old, with a physique like an ape, best at horseback kung fu, surnamed Han, the fifth child in his family, known as Han Laowu.

On the right is a general with a Chinese character face. He is older than the other yamen present, but younger than Han Wu. His surname is Le and Huan, and he is best at spear kung fu.

Han Lao Wu was actually from the Western Army, but he had no success in the Western Army in his early years. He was even suppressed at one point and had to leave the Western Army and joined the Xiang Army in Beihe County. It can be said that he entered the reserve from the field army. Feel.

It was also at this time of the east wind that the three sides in the north were in a hurry, and the Jiedu envoy of Beihe County knew how useless the Xiang army was, so he could only select from the Xiang army first, and Han Lao Wu was promoted and entered the That Jiedu made the adult's sight.

Even, for some unknown reason, Lord Jiedushi of Beihe County seemed to see him right, and even disregarded the differences between civil and military affairs, and married his own daughter to him, so Han Laowu transformed himself into a festival. The Dushi's son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly is simply a typical example of moving the dead from the tree to the living.

Today, the new army composed of five thousand brave fighters is led by him.

And that Le Huan, who learned from Wang Beishan, is the adopted son of Wang Beishan. Wang Beishan is a Confucian commander. , Seven years later, the Southwest became stable.

Today, Wang Beishan has long since retired, and most of the political resources left by him are put on this adopted son as the commander of the Imperial Army.

It can be said that this is an army composed entirely of the second generation of Yamen.

They happened to gather together from southeast to northwest, and then went on the road together. It is too accidental to insist that this is a coincidence.

It can only be said that at the moment of emergency among the three sides, various military forces are doing some things in a tacit understanding. It has been too long to use literature to suppress military affairs. status.

Therefore, after the main force has been stationed in the three sides, the follow-up troops are led by these yamen, stop and go, and gather together. It seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is more like a meeting of the younger generations of the major military forces. Contact contact feelings.

It's true that Yin Jian, who stabs the face of a man, is not far away. Since then, the warriors have also begun to understand the importance of grouping together.

However, after this group of yamen got together, there was no such situation of jealousy and dissatisfaction with each other. They were all talented young people, and they were not vulgar, so naturally they would not do such stupid things.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were a bit arrogant, but Dou Guoming and Le Huan seemed very humble when they responded to the disciples of the Forbidden Army who followed them this time.

My family knew about my family affairs, not to mention nearly half of the 800,000 imperial guards, and the remaining half was still working as a laborer at the Shangjing City Wharf to earn food.

When it comes to welcoming and seeing off, and making friends, the children of the Forbidden Army have nothing to say, they are absolutely first-class, but when it comes to leading the army in battle, Dou Guoming and Le Huan still have some family or teacher inheritance, and the other children of the Forbidden Army's generals are Very good at your own level.

Although Han Laowu said that the Jiedu envoy was a quick son-in-law, but in terms of status and status, he was naturally inferior to these authentic yamen.

The ones with the highest status are Zhong Mao from the Zhong family and Zu Dongcheng from the ancestral family. Although the Western Army is huge and much stronger than the new ancestral family, if Zhong Tianlang is here, there is no doubt that he has the highest status. It's just that Zhong Mao is a descendant of a collateral line after all, so everyone implicitly regards Zu Dong as the noble.

And Zu Dongcheng is indeed capable. He moved to the southeast with his father at the age of fifteen. Here, he can no longer be said to be a family heirloom. If he puts aside his age, he can already be called a veteran.

According to the wishes of the family or teachers, the yamen gathered together by chance, and then went north together. Along the way, they were not only busy connecting with each other, but at this age, they still had dreams and pursuits in their hearts.

Le Huan and Han Laowu are the best at horseback, but when it comes to leading troops, Zu Dong is the best.

Even along the way, all the yamen handed over their own soldiers and horses to Zu Dongcheng for training, and everyone learned and figured out the skills of military training and military formation together.

The ancestral family's method of training soldiers is well-known, the ancestral family's army started with Zu Zhuming's recruitment of soldiers and horses, but there were no ready-made fruits to pick.

Within half a month, all the yamen found that the spirit of the soldiers and horses under their command had indeed undergone considerable changes. You have the highest status and the most ability, so all the yamen are naturally extremely convinced of Zu Dongcheng.

This is why when the Yan Army cavalry suddenly appeared, this "joint force" was able to form a formation quickly to deal with it.

Whenever the cavalry is against the infantry, what they like to see the most is the infantry running away in disorder. If the previous 30,000 troops really lost their battle or showed a collapsed and scattered posture.

These two guerrilla generals with 6,000 cavalry will definitely order their subordinates to charge. The 6,000 iron cavalry broke through 30,000 scattered infantry. It seems that there is a huge gap in the number of the two sides, but the former still has a great chance of winning.

During the previous march, they did not receive the news that the cavalry of the Yan Army had crossed three sides and entered the hinterland of Qian State. Naturally, they were a little "formal" during the march.

After all, you are traveling in the hinterland of your own country, just like when a person goes from the living room to the bedroom to sleep every day, is it possible that you still have a fruit knife in your left hand and a mobile phone in your right hand to call 110 at all times?

Fortunately, Zu Dongcheng was more sensitive, and he noticed a strange "eyes and ears" being obscured, so he immediately ordered to move closer to Qingshan County instead of continuing to Chuzhou City.

If Zu Dongcheng hadn't been there, perhaps this complex army would have marched to the city of Chuzhou by itself at dusk today.

However, when they actually saw the Yan people's cavalry appear, everyone was startled.

Is it possible that the three sides have been broken?

The North has fallen?

how so fast!

What happened to my uncles?

Fortunately, Zu Dongcheng immediately yelled to stabilize the army's morale, saying that this is a Yan cavalry infiltrating in, and this is giving us military merit!

Six thousand Yan army cavalry, the battle is really not small, but for these yamen, it is not a big deal. After all, Yan Qian has not really done it with real knives and guns in a hundred years, that is to say, he has not experienced it. Young people who are beaten up by social reality always carry a kind of inexplicable self-confidence.

However, when the Yan army's follow-up cavalry arrived one after another, everyone became confused.

Straight girl thief,

Why are there so many swallow dogs!

Rao Zu Dongcheng felt a little cold in his heart. If there were 30,000 ancestral troops under his command at this time, he would have the confidence to rely on the army to fight while retreating. As long as he leaned against Qingshan City and relied on the city wall, the situation would be fine. Can be stabilized.

However, he knows that the ancestral army under his command does not actually account for the majority. It's a broken situation!

The messenger for help has been sent to the Quartet.

When the 20,000 Yan army cavalry had already arrived, everyone understood that there was no other way but to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.

If you want to blame, you can only blame your uncle and the others for letting go of 20,000 Yan army cavalry so far south!

Of course, if they knew that the Yan people went south instead of 20,000 riders but 250,000 riders, they would probably collapse in shock.

But now, at least, this situation has been maintained.

"Dong Cheng, do you think the people of Yan will fight over there?" Zhong Mao asked.

Zu Dongcheng took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

The three-party character array seems to rely on each other, but in fact it also has great independence.

The front that needs to bear the greatest pressure is based on the Ancestral Army as the team, supplemented by the Three Thousand Western Army, which can be said to be the best in quality and discipline.

On the east and west sides, the west side is composed of Beihe warriors plus the western army, and the east side is completely composed of the forbidden army.

Previously, the Yan people were testing, they were testing the quality of these three army formations.

Zu Dongcheng believed that the Yan people should have tested it out. The army formed by the imperial army on the east side also performed the worst when facing the pressure exerted by the Yan people.

This made both Dou Guoming and Le Huan feel embarrassed. The troops under their command couldn't compete with each other, and they, who are the chief generals, naturally had a dull face.

However, there are hundreds of chariots hidden in the army formation on the east side. These chariots are not the chariots of the country of thousands of rides and ten thousand rides a long time ago, but designed by his father to deal with the cavalry of the Yan people. In field battles, chariots can be used to replace the role of the city wall to offset the advantage of blocking the Yan people's cavalry.

In addition, the best crossbowmen were all arranged by Zu Dongcheng in the center of the army formation where the imperial army was located. At the same time, although there were several bed crossbows that had fired arrows before, there were still hidden treasures in the east formation. Nearly forty bed crossbows!

If the Yan people really planned to eat their own side, they would definitely choose a good place to sip, and that was exactly the gift that Zu Dongcheng prepared for the Yan people.

Zu Dongcheng turned his head, looked at Dou Guoming and Le Huan, and said:

"Brother Guoming, Brother Huan, please join the battle to appease the troops. Our cavalry has been reserved for you all the time."

"Here!"

There is no relationship between the two parties. If we really want to talk about the title, Dou Guoming's title is higher than Zu Dongcheng's.

But a smart person would naturally not do stupid things in this situation,

Jokes like short historical stories of later generations and "why not eat minced meat" can only be seen as jokes most of the time.

Therefore, at this time, all the yamen directly regarded Zu Dongcheng as the commander-in-chief and acted according to his orders.

In any case, the situation is critical now, and they have to hold on, stand down, and wait for reinforcements or until the Yan army retreats.

"General Han, please join the cavalry and listen to my orders!"

"Here!"

Han Laowu bowed his hands in salute.

Among the 30,000 troops, there are only 3,000 cavalry, and their quality is still uneven. Naturally, it is impossible to let them out to confront the Yan people's cavalry, so they can only be reserved as mobile troops.

"It is said that the iron cavalry of the Yan people is the best in the world. At first I didn't believe it. I always felt that the cavalry of the Xishan Battalion under my second uncle's command was absolutely not inferior to the Yan people. But now, after seeing it with my own eyes, I believe it."

The majesty of the Yan people's army is really astonishing.

Zu Dongcheng shook his head and said:

"The battle hasn't started yet."

Zhong Mao said curiously:

"Brother Dong Cheng doesn't believe it?"

"No, the Xishan Camp of the Western Army has always used the Northern Qiang as a sharpening stone for training, but the Yan people have been fighting with the barbarians in the desert border.

How do the barbarians compare with the Northern Qiang? "

Zhong Mao shook his head and smiled wryly:

"I can't compare to myself."

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Mao said again:

"Brother Dong Cheng thinks that the one in front of you is Yanren Zhenbei Army?"

"My father likes armaments, and there are armours and armors from all walks of life in Qianguo, including other countries and even the far west. My father also collects them in his attic.

The armor of the Yan army in front of us is dark and plain, completely different from the bright armor of the Jingnan army of the Yan people; at the same time, the horses of the Yan people calm down before the battle. Brother Zhong should understand the spirituality of the horse better than me. The air is awe-inspiring, and the war horse can naturally feel it. "

"indeed."

"It can be seen from this that the Yan people's cavalry in front of us is probably the Zhenbei army that the Yan people are most proud of."

Zhong Mao took a deep breath and let it out slowly, saying:

"Don't laugh at me, I was very scared, really scared, but when you said it was the Zhenbei Army, I became a little hot again, as if I just met the girl at home and went out to join the army for several months The kind that doesn’t taste like meat.”

"hehe."

Zu Dongcheng smiled.

The fact that the Zhong family was able to sit at the top of many generals of the Western Army for decades was not just luck for no reason. From Zhong Mao's previous words, it can be seen that the blood of the Zhong family's children is still there.

"If I hadn't worked hard to abolish horse administration, I would have had enough cavalry if I worked hard."

In the past, we used to fight pirates, chieftains in the Southwest, or other thieves. In fact, the official army is enough.

Properly trained, good at fighting, and enough morale, as long as these basic conditions are met, normal domestic wars are more than enough.

but,

before the battle,

Clearly feeling the majestic pressure brought by the opponent's cavalry,

Only then did people have to give birth to a sense of powerlessness.

cavalry,

Not enough cavalry,

this battle

Stuck from the start!

Hearing this, Zhong Mao sighed.

To be honest, that kind of Yan people's land is suitable for raising horses. I don't have any horse breeding land. It's okay to deceive outsiders, but for these people who grew up in the army and grew up, they don't believe it.

In the past few years, it was not that the imperial court did not make great efforts to deal with horse affairs, but the result was a mess.

Let's take ten thousand steps back, even if the number of cavalry is insufficient due to war horses,

In terms of military pay, if it is paid in full, the amount of soldiers is not at all, 10% or 15% is acceptable to everyone,

There are at least 600,000 troops on the three sides,

The imperial army can easily pull three to four hundred thousand out of Beijing.

There is no need to use the western army, let alone transfer troops from the southeast, and there is no need to recruit brave fighters.

Daqian can dispatch millions of troops casually,

So what if the people of Yan are invincible?

"The Yan people are coming aggressively this time. My father and uncle will be under a lot of pressure." Zu Dongcheng said.

"Brother Dong Cheng, shouldn't you and I think more about whether we can withstand this wave of Yan people?"

"If you can't bear it, you can't bear it. What's the use of thinking about it? I can't think of soldiers."

"Brother Dong Cheng is really free and easy."

"Brother Zhong, if you have a chance in the future, you can go to the southeast and see the sea more. It will indeed be different."

"How does it sound like Brother Dong Cheng is teasing me?"

"At this time, you have to be a little bit more talkative, or you won't have a chance in the future."

"That's the truth."

Zu Dongcheng said, "Guansai guy."

Zhong Mao responded immediately: "Sea King Eight."

"I've held back for a long time."

"Me too."

These are the catchphrases that the elders usually call each other, and they always feel comfortable when they are called by the starting nickname, and some regional discrimination is wrapped in it by the way, and then they are deep-fried in a frying pan to have that flavor.

"Ha ha ha ha…………"

The two major generals laughed together.

All around, the soldiers who originally had nervous expressions on their faces calmed down a lot.

"Brother Dong Cheng, the Yan people have moved!"

"Tiger!"

The Yan people's cavalry began to move, and all around, only the sound of horseshoes could be heard, like thousands of war drums beating together, the sound was like thunder, and the momentum was like wind!

"Zhiniang thief, Yangou, come here, grandpa is waiting for you!"

Zhong Mao roared.

Under the oppression of this terrifying atmosphere, it is really too difficult to maintain a normal mind. It is also a good choice to vent your pressure in this way.

Zu Dongcheng rode his horse forward, raised the long knife in his hand,

shouted:

"Pingnan Army!"

All the ancestral troops in the front line shouted together:

"Wan Sheng!"

Naturally, the ancestral army cannot be called the ancestral army, although anyone with a discerning eye knows that this army belongs to the ancestral family, and it has been deeply branded by the ancestral family. It is because the ministers and officials in the court want to divide this army Open, there is nothing to do for a while.

However, it would be too taboo to call "Ancestral Army" while everyone was watching.

The treatment here is very different from that of Jingnan Hou and Zhenbei Hou when they passed Nanwang City.

The two Marquis could laugh and chat happily in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Yan Kingdom, without worrying about the suspicion of the emperor.

but they are different,

Even Old Zhong Xianggong and Zu Zhuming did not dare to be so domineering.

dusty,

not long,

Everything has returned to calm.

It is naturally impossible to be silent on the battlefield, but the calmness at this time made everyone nervous, so that it seemed that only the sound of their own breathing could be heard in their ears.

finally,

Yan Jun moved!

"Brother Zhong, quickly lead the five hundred Western Army sabers and axes to the Eastern formation to help them stabilize their formation, in case..."

Suddenly,

Zu Dongcheng's words got stuck,

Because he saw the main attack direction of the Yan people,

It's not the army formation on the east side where the forbidden army is located,

It's the main formation formed by the Ancestral Army and the Western Army!

"How... how dare you!"

Zhong Mao was also a little surprised, and exclaimed:

"The Yan people are actually going to rush forward!"

………

In Li Fusheng's eyes, red bloodshots began to cover densely.

He took up his horse,

Pointing to the front line of the most heavily guarded army,
