In June of the second year of Jingping in the Wu Dynasty, the situation in the world was in a temporary period of stability and recovery.
After the Jurchen captured Bianliang and plundered a large number of slaves and resources, they were digesting and summarizing these resources. The "Great Chu" emperor Zhang Bangchang, who was forced to come to power by the Jurchen, did not dare to covet the emperor's position. After the Jurchen left, he and a large number of courtiers abandoned Bianliang and went south, wanting to choose the remnant clan of the Wu Dynasty as the new emperor.
The departure of the Jurchen did not calm the situation in the north, and the north of the Yellow River was already turbulent at this time. Many Wu Dynasty people who realized that the situation was wrong began to migrate south with their families and their families, and the ripe wheat slowed down their departure a little.
As for the many big households north of the Yellow River, those who could go and those who couldn't, began to plan and plan for the future. Some of them colluded with the surrounding armies, and some began to support the armed forces and build a private army for national salvation. Among them, some are private and public, and most of them are out of helplessness. One after another, local forces of this kind gradually took shape on the northern land while the court turned a blind eye.
Everyone can see that since the Jurchen went south twice, and even after Bianliang was conquered, the Wu Dynasty no longer had substantial control over this area south of Yanmen Pass and north of the Yellow River. He may be able to control the words for a while, but when the Jurchen arrives, the courage of the local army has been broken, and there is no possibility of sticking to it.
The wheat is about to be harvested, and the rice is almost there. The emperor who will come to power has become a new expectation in the hearts of the people. After the Wu Dynasty experienced such a great humiliation, I hope that he can choose talents, work hard, and revive the national system. After Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other forces that have been entrenched in the court for many years, the remaining court of the Wu Dynasty does exist. With the possibility and space to cheer up, a large number of scholars and folk warriors have begun to run and operate again, hoping to be able to work from the dragon and show their ambitions. Even many people who used to live in seclusion saw that the state was in danger. They have also come out one after another, wanting to make suggestions for the revitalization of the Wu Dynasty.
And during this time, people choose the direction. There are about two. One is Yingtianfu, which is located east of Bianliang, and the other is Jiangning, which is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
At this time, after the ravages of the Jurchens, the original capital of the Wu Dynasty, Bianliang, was already in a mess. The city walls were destroyed. A large number of fortifications were destroyed. In fact, Jurchen left in April because there were too many dead people in Bianliang, and the epidemic had begun to appear. This ancient city is no longer suitable as a capital city, and some officials in the north wanted to rebuild the courthouse in Yingtianfu, which was the capital of the Wu Dynasty at this time. On the other hand, Zhou Yong, the king of Kang who was about to be enthroned as emperor, originally lived in Jiangning Mansion, where the core of the new court will be placed, and now everyone is waiting to see.
This vast world. The Wu Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom are like today's two sides in the center of the earth. The ambitious people and the powerful people are bustling, waiting for the next change in the situation, watching the re-game between the two great powers, and the common people are in the cracks of a little peace. Looking forward to a longer period of peace that can last. And on the fringes, out of mainstream attention, a battle is going on.
Northwest, Gyeongju, Dong Zhiyuan. The oldest source of Chinese farming civilization is endless. Reading a book requires iron hoofs to fly like thunder.
On a cloudy day, the armored cavalry charged like a giant wall!
Pingshan Iron Harrier.
One of the most terrifying heavy cavalry ever. The foundation of the Xixia Dynasty. The total number of heavy cavalry is about 3,000, and the men and horses are all wearing iron armor. Since the establishment of this heavy cavalry by Li Yuanhao, the king of Xixia, it symbolizes not only the strongest force of Xixia, but also the nobility and traditional symbols of the party family. Three thousand iron armor, father to son, son to grandson. From generation to generation, they are nobles, military officers, and national capital.
For the elder sister Le, who was in command of Tie Yazi, the battle in front of him was not the most difficult battle that Tie Yazi had ever faced. The bandit army that came out of the mountain angered Li Ganshun. The Xixia camp of more than 70,000 people has already begun to pull the camp eastward, but they did not come for this army, but after the loss of Yanzhou, the senior officials of Xixia had to Abandoning the plan to move westward immediately, at the critical juncture of the wheat harvest, stabilize the victory that has already entered the stomach at the rear, and avoid the peaches being picked by the Zhejia army hiding aside.
Before that, Xixia had been suppressed and beaten by the Zhong family for 20 years. Li Ganshun was able to open up the situation in the northwest in the first battle, and Xixia had a faint trend of resurgence. However, this momentum is only halfway through, and being stabbed like this from the back, Li Ganshun's anger can be imagined.
Over the years, because of the strength of the Iron Harrier, the cavalry in the Xixia Exhibition has already exceeded three thousand, but the real elite among them is the noble team that is the core of the Iron Harrier. Li Ganshun dispatched his sister Le to set the rear chaos in the end of the war, so that many Xiao Xiao did not dare to cause chaos. Since leaving the Xixia camp, Mei Le led the cavalry under her command without the slightest delay, and ran all the way to Yanzhou.
On the morning of June 23, the two armies met on the edge of Dong Zhiyuan.
Neither the cavalry nor the oncoming Black Flag Army were reduced. At the end of the field of vision, the two armies can see each other extending like a black line. The sky is hazy, and the flags are hunting. After the defeat in Yanzhou, Tie Haozi traveled all the way east, and he encountered all the defeated soldiers from the east. They also knew that the army of 10,000 people who came out of the mountain was an out-and-out fierce enemy of the bandits. .
This kind of cognition did not have much impact on the generals of the Iron Harrier. When they noticed that the other party was fighting bravely towards this side, apart from making a bold statement, it could only be said that the army had lost consciousness after repeated victories. He was not without doubts in his heart. In order to avoid the opponent's manipulation on the terrain, Mei Le ordered the entire army to detour for five miles, turn in one direction, and then buffer the front towards the opponent.
On the other side of the field of vision, the black flag's army was in a dense formation, with long spears in the front row. on the heartbeat.
When the two armies faced each other like this, apart from charging, in fact, as a general, there was not much choice at the very least, and Iron Harrier especially had no choice.
Many things are decided, often without giving people much time. Everything in the past few days has been fast-paced. The Black Flag Army's arrival in Yanzhou is extremely fast-paced. It is extremely fast-paced to kill all the way. Meile's attack is extremely fast-paced. Falling into this rhythm. Without any hesitation, the opponent set up a counter-attack, and his morale was high. As the heavy cavalry, the Iron Harrier faced the formation of mainly infantry on the terrain of Dong Zhiyuan. If they chose to hesitate, they would not have to fight in the future.
not to mention. The tactics of the Western Xia Tiejiazi have never been very particular. Once they encounter an enemy, they will gather together in small groups. Charge towards the opponent's formation. Under the circumstance that the terrain is not harsh, there is no army that can directly block the crushing of this heavy cavalry.
The sound of the trumpet blown in the opponent's formation first ignited the fuse, and Mei Le looked sharply and waved the order. Then, the horn of the charge sounded in the army formation of Xixia. Immediately, the iron hooves flew faster and faster, like a huge wall. Thousands of iron cavalry rolled up the dust on the ground, and the hoof sound roared, and the mountains and seas came.
The front line was about to step into the land of a single arrow, and Mei Le vaguely saw the opposite army rushing backwards from behind, and he felt wrong in his heart. But at such a distance, if there are any traps ahead. Iron Harrier is not without the ability to change formations or directly rush to the past. And the other party turned around, his spirit was lost, and as long as the distance passed, the other party would experience massacres. In the past, such whimsical enemies who made the army turn around and pushed back the horses, he had not never seen them, but they often just died faster.
Something flew up in the sky and then fell
Half an hour ago, the Black Flag Army.
Gao Lei walked forward. While rubbing the tip of the spear with the stone flakes in his hand, the spear was sharp enough to reflect light.
Front, back, left and right are all running companions. He handed the stone piece in his hand to the companion next to him, removed the blade of the gun for convenience, and waved his hand to polish it.
They all know that in a short while, they will have to face the Iron Harrier of Xixia.
"I was in Yanzhou and killed three people." The sharpened bluestone intersected with the tip of the spear. With a clear sound, the companion next to him brushed it a few times, handed the stone piece to the person on the other side, and said to Gao Lei, "Do you think you can kill an Iron Harrier this time?"
"After Xia Cun, who have we ever been afraid of?" Gao Lei lowered his head and said in a dull voice. At this time, the blood vessels in his whole body were moving, he felt a sudden noise in his brain, and his vision trembled slightly. Running is purely instinct, and almost everyone is like this. It is impossible not to run.
After passing through Yanzhou once, what they have to face next is not some miscellaneous soldiers, but this world-famous heavy cavalry. There is tension in everyone's heart, but there is also a sense of pride in the tension: maybe we can really suppress this heavy ride.
Outside Bianliang City, the feeling of Jurchen was already indifferent, and at that time, there were people who ran away, even in the face of the strongest army in the world, how strong they really are, people actually have no concept in their hearts. After Xia Village, everyone felt some pride in their hearts. When they broke Yanzhou this time, everyone's emotions were a little surprised. They never imagined that they had become so powerful.
This kind of strong confidence is not obtained blindly because of the bravery of a single person, but because they have all understood in Xiao Canghe's simple teaching that the strength of an army comes from the strength of everyone's combined efforts and mutual trust in each other. , so powerful. And now, when Yanzhou's victory is in front of them, they have already begun to imagine how powerful the group they belong to has become.
That's why, even if it was the Iron Harrier who was to face next, everyone was nervous, but they rushed over in a frenzy and cautious manner.
Look around, everyone is there!
Regarding the tactics, since three days ago, everyone has been deliberating repeatedly under the leadership of the officers. As for the cooperation on the battlefield, as early as in Xiao Canghe's training, he has already done it. During the two or three days of marching, even the soldiers at the bottom of the Black Flag Army have chewed through dozens of possible situations in their hearts.
When the army arrived, Gao Lei rushed forward as scheduled, and his position was in the row behind the saber. From the rear, the cavalry came winding down, and the soldiers of the special regiment quickly dismounted, opened the box, and began to arrange. More people from the rear came up and began to shrink the entire column.
Iron Harrier changed the direction of the attack, and Gao Lei and the others also ran and changed direction. Even with the deduction of the evolution, Gao Lei still tightly held the spear in his hand, posing impeccably in the face of the war horse.
"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. If there is a problem in the rear and you can't change the formation, as the front row, can you step back? If the support provided by your companions behind you cannot defeat the Iron Harrier, do you still have the confidence to face them!? Are you relying on your companions or yourself!?"
This is something that the people above have repeatedly emphasized during the several days of deductions. Everyone has been psychologically prepared, and at the same time they are confident that there is no coward in this army. Even if they do not change, they are confident that they will overturn the Iron Harriers, because only overturning them is the only way out!
Standing in the second row, the huge army formation has been formed, and in the field of vision, the existence of individuals is indescribable. Ahead, the iron cavalry flew over. The formation of thousands of iron cavalry stretched up to a hundred zhang, and it continued to accelerate, like a huge wall, shaking the field. Xixia's Iron Harriers are not chain horses. They are not linked to each other by hooks and cables. However, on each iron horse, the armor of the war horse and the knight is linked to each other. Under such a charge, even if the knight on horseback is dead, the warhorse under its crotch will still carry the body and follow the brigade to charge.
The blood swelled in his body as if burning, and the order to retreat came. He grabbed the long spear, turned around and flew out with the queue, and something flew high above their heads.
The thing fell forward. Before the horse team rushed over, a huge explosion flame rose up. When the cavalry rushed forward, the flame had not been completely retracted. An iron harrier rushed through the explosion flame without damage. The earthquake shook, and several packages were still flying out of the sky. When Gao Lei stood up again and turned around, the position around him was already full of long things, and among them, there were several iron circles. The shape of the vat is facing the sky at an elevation angle. The first to be shot out is the package in this vat.
The second package fell into the horse team, followed by the third and fourth. The huge air wave impacted and spread. At that moment, the space seemed to be deformed. Gao Lei stood there with a spear and looked forward. He couldn't see anything, but someone in the back was shouting, "Go away! Go away! Go farther." Gao Lei turned his head and immediately felt a loud noise. There was a humming noise, and when he looked forward again, his ears could no longer hear the sound.
More than a hundred elm cannons fired almost simultaneously!
On the opposite side, when the first package fell and exploded, Mei Le in the army suddenly let go of her heart. Iron Harriers are not afraid of the firearms of the Wu Dynasty, the iron armor on their bodies is not afraid of the blast of air, and the horses that have been in battle are not afraid of the sudden explosion, but the next moment, something terrible happened.
boom boom boom boom boom
Countless explosions sounded almost at the same moment, and the impact came. Countless flowers were blooming on the huge wall that was as long as 100 meters. In an instant, it was like a huge wave that suddenly gathered. In front of everyone, it expanded, rose, rose, and skyrocketed into a monstrous momentum, engulfing the entire front of the Iron Harrier.
The first row and the second row have been engulfed, and the cavalry in the third, fourth, and fifth rows are still galloping in, and in the blink of an eye, they plunged into the huge wall. According to past experience, it is just a barrier of smoke and dust.
Captain Nagu shouted and rushed into the dim area. The moment his vision tightened, something smashed towards his head, knocked him away with a bang, and flew to the back, but he was shocked. In Hong's glance, it looked like a severed hand with iron armor. Before he could react in his mind, something exploded behind him, and the sound was swallowed up by the air waves. He felt that the warhorse under his crotch flew up slightly, which should not have happened.
The huge impact came in the next moment, and the warhorse smashed to the ground with him. One person and one horse flew forward a long way. He was suppressed by the warhorse. The pain and numbness of the entire lower body were almost two feelings that existed at the same time. He has already rushed out of the barrier, and the earth that was ruled by the sound of hoofs a moment ago has been replaced by another sound. Open the general magnificent scene (.)
