The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 405: Reject the horse
Mobile reading
The two newly built post roads on Beiliang Road in Liuzhou are both horizontal, leading to Liangling two states respectively. It is far inferior to the rigorous three-state system within the Guan. This is also a helpless move. There are only three in the vast territory of Liuzhou. As a reliance, the military town borders on most of Gusai Prefecture, which is strong in northern Mang. Therefore, the construction of vertical post roads in Liuzhou can only facilitate the long drive of the prairie cavalry to go south. This is a self-destructive measure of border defense, retreating 10,000 Bu said, even if the young vassal prince inexplicably dazzled his head, rebelled against his own strength, built a post road in Liuzhou, I believe that the Qingcangcheng Shifu, Huaiyangguan Duhufu and Qingliangshan will all rebel at the same time.

The location chosen for the third interception battle after Kou Jianghuai’s two great victories was at a yellow sand flat land more than two hundred miles north of Laoyu Mountain. Between that place and the plain terrain of Laoyu Mountain, there is a north-south direction. The gigantic corridors of the city show the trend of narrowing women's waists. If the prairie cavalry advances from north to south, although this place is not the only way to the Laoyushan battlefield, it can be shortened by six compared to the detour. It is more than ten miles away, and this corridor is not narrow and steep. It is by no means a narrow path and cannot be laid on both sides. On the contrary, the mountains on both sides of the corridor are gentle. , The brigade cavalry galloped, it can be said that there is no block. The so-called corridor is shaped like a woman's waist, but compared to the entire Liuzhou territory, from the Liugui cavalry in the first battle to the south in the second battle, to the three interception battles of Kou Jianghuai in the second war, Neither party took a fancy to this place that was once named "grasshopper's leg" by the refugees.
But the fifty thousand southern side riders rushing to the battlefield of Laoyushan, when almost everyone can see the north entrance of this corridor, there is already a Liuzhou soldier and horse in the middle of the corridor, and it was born. , Wait a long time!
After Ma Lanzi hurriedly reported his military situation, several Beimang generals of the fifty thousand cavalry were caught in an awkward dilemma. All the Liuzhou infantrymen stood guarding the corridor, the number of which was about 14,000. The main force is the Western Region Lando Mountain monk soldiers, and there are also two to three thousand Liuzhou native soldiers and horses. The bad news is that this corridor is used as a battlefield, and the cavalry cannot swim around and thin the formation. The good news is that the infantry is waiting in formation and does not carry any large-scale anti-horse equipment, and its strength is absolutely superior. Once the cavalry smashed into the formation and forced it to retreat in a hurry, not to mention it was 17,000 infantry, even if the strength of the cavalry was doubled, it would not be enough for this cavalry to slash and slash.
The combat power of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasty cavalry over the Northern Liang Cavalry, or the strength of Yan Wenluan's Youzhou pawns, has been staggering on the border for 20 years, and has not dared to be underestimated, you can say Switching to other soldiers and horses is really improper. This is not blind arrogance, but the great self-confidence that the prairie cavalry has continuously accumulated on the Central Plains by knocking on the border for the four hundred years since the end of the Dafeng period. In addition, what really embarrassed several Southern Dynasty cavalry chiefs was that they went from leaving the station and crossing the sideline to entering the battlefield of Laoyushan, whether it was the northern court palace, the nearby Xijing temple, or the south. The head coach Huang Songpu, who is in the midst of the battle, strictly ordered to participate in the war on time, and at the critical moment, the whole battle was finalized and all the main field forces in Liuzhou were completely wiped out. Therefore, the fifty thousand cavalry must not miss the slightest opportunity! Now, the problem before these southern dynasty military commanders is not only whether to make a detour, because the monk soldiers in the middle of the corridor can also withdraw south quickly. Maybe they change the battlefield, and the Northern Mang cavalry can do more Quickly break through the formation, but the cost of running sixty miles of extra distance on a fast horse is definitely not the price that these Southern Dynasty army generals and towns can bear. Moreover, the military merits of more than 10,000 Western monks, especially the leader general is very likely to be one. The head can be exchanged for Feng Hou's meritorious service, Xie Xiwei, it's so tempting!
Can you fight?
Of course!
For public and private, the northern and southern dynasty cavalry all felt that they would fight a battle in this corridor, which was a great achievement. The 18 Xianbei buckle jade belts recently bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor to the Wanyan family are the best examples!
The 50,000 cavalry troops, who are at the peak of their physical strength and energy, can't break through the formation of more than 10,000 infantry troops?
On the side of the corridor, Xie Xiwei, who is wearing iron armor and a sword, is sitting on horseback, looking up to the north.
The strong wind blows on his face, as if he can smell blood.
This Lieutenant General of Liuzhou, who is known as one of the Great Chu Shuangbi, has firm eyes and a calm face at this time.
Cao Changqing used to comment privately with Jiang Si, the female emperor of Western Chu, about famous military officers and ministers. Most of them were mediocre, except that when Xie Xikui was a proud disciple, he did not hesitate to say anything, especially with the words "Use troops on the battlefield, point "Shi Chengjin" has the heaviest weight, but at the end I added a comment that seemed to be a digression: Xie Xifeng is tenacious, You Sheng Kou Jianghuai.
Xie Xikui slowly closed his eyes. The young emperor Liyang couldn't wait to attract the young man who entered the city of Tai'an. Now he is a native of Great Chu, but he is a general of Northern Liang.
Da Chu was invincible in the past two hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period. There were three people who broke the enemy's reliance, strong armor and strong bow, long halberd, and military order system. At the time when the national power of the Great Chu Jiangshi was at its peak, the Liyang and Dongyue two countries that had beaten the north of the border had no temper, just like a strong man punching a juvenile boy. Even if the military strength of the Great Chu turned from prosperity to decline, Liyang, located in the northern corner of the Nine Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, began to attach importance to the training of cavalry. The Liyang Cavalry’s combat power, against this reputed to be the most powerful heavy-armored infantry in history, definitely does not take the slightest advantage, but in the three battles of Jinghe, it turns out that as long as it is on the right battlefield. In the upper stage, there are not enough heavy armored infantry to support and support by the cavalry. The classic battle of riding and infantry, which is far lower than the West Leibi in history, has been underestimated and despised by Liyang historians deliberately or unintentionally. In the first three battles, there were not many dead troops on both sides, only 30,000. In order to prevent mistakes in the key battle afterwards, Xu Jiajun, who combined his steps and won the battle, chose to kill more than 80,000 soldiers. In addition, at that time, the old emperor of Liyang, Zhao Li, once sent a meritorious veteran and two Zhao Shizongs. Pro-participated in coordinated operations, so Zhao Dun ascended to the throne and called the empress the venerable taboo, which was inconvenient to exaggerate. However, the scene of the river battle had a great impact on the Xu family on the victorious side. When Xu Xiao was visiting the battlefield with his subordinates, he squatted down and stared at the fine iron armor of a great Chu halberd. Stabbing, it was still roughly intact, and he sighed, "People are already dead, and the armor is still complete. If I have such iron armor, how many people can die? We can't be so poor anymore."
Since then, no matter how tragic a deadly battle, the Xu family, who only wants military merit and no money afterwards, has started to withhold gold and silver from equipment privately every time the camp breaks through the city. It is not wrong, of course, Tu Xuxiao never denies it, especially at the end of the Battle of West Leibi, Xu Xiao made a defiant move. A secret order was issued to his subordinates Xu Pu and his two sons Chen Zhibao and Yuan Zuozong. The three of them worked together to successfully gather 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Xu family secretly, and took the lead in breaking the capital of Xichu overnight earlier than Liyang’s established candidates. It is also a large collection of all treasures that can be moved away in boxes. Xu Xiao’s widely criticized "shit is good to pull and not tasty", the source of this famous quote, was dispatched by the Liyang army after that search. The messenger led the soldiers to inquire about the crime, and Xu Lizi said straightforwardly, "The things are already in Lao Tzu's stomach. If you want it, you can only **** to you. Do you want to eat it?" It is said that the old emperor Zhao Li was angry after hearing the report. In the end, Xu Xiao just spit out some spoils to the imperial army in a symbolic way.
After sealing the king to the northwest frontier of the domain, Xu Xiao's obsession with the benefit of equipment can be said to have increased.
In the past two decades, the private sale of ironware to the Beimang grassland, the long border line of Liyang, has been repeatedly banned, and the small movements of the two Liao frontiers enjoying the half-national taxation have been continuous, and it is extremely difficult to stop it until Chen Zhibao is short-lived. Ren Bingbu Shangshu and Gu Jiantang left the capital to sit on the north side of the town in person. The two most powerful military leaders cooperated closely on this matter, and they succeeded. Even in the northern Liang border army with strict military laws, there are still several real-powered school lieutenants who were beheaded on the spot as a result, and the involvement was widespread. From the generals in the pass to the real-power generals outside the pass, to the captain of Guanai and finally to the big and small Fengsui, it was often an incident. Nearly a hundred heads are about to fall.
The prairie cavalry has always been lack of horses and armor. Beimang has changed a lot after the old woman took the throne. With the east wind of Hong Jia's north rush, the whole country, from iron smelting skills to military distribution, It's all so. However, some of the deep-rooted things of the nomads, even if they have been exposed to them for 20 years, are still difficult to change, just like the previous southern attack Qingqi that perished in the northwest of Liuzhou, the famous Qiangqi of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties, and the gentleness of Hong Jingyan. The iron cavalry is also called "the most important of the frontier cavalry." With the foresight of the old woman and the attention of the Xijing temple in the Southern Dynasty, how can he not even have the foundation and courage to equip thousands of Qiang cavalry with excellent equipment? However, the Qiang cavalry always maintained the light cavalry route of leather armor, quick horses, short swords and short spears, and could not move.
The sound of the horse's hoof of the Northern Mang cavalry is getting louder and louder, coupled with the natural echo of the corridor, and the whistling sound of Beimang after he believes he has won the victory, like a flat ground blasting thunder, the sound is extremely majestic.
Xie Xiwei opened his eyes suddenly, drew a cold knife from his waist, and shouted angrily: "Finalize! Rejection!"
This time with a step formation to block the 50,000 Northern Mang cavalry, Xie Xifeng, in addition to the 5,000 hardbow crossbows that was qualified to be allocated by the Liuzhou Governor’s Mansion, also asked for 800 horses from the Liangzhou frontier army.槊, a thousand swords!
The Mo sword emerged in the Spring and Autumn of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It weighs more than 50 kilograms and is made of fine iron. The first-class soldiers of non-army soldiers cannot hold them. At that time, there were more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in the 16 towns on the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, more than two thousand people, with strong combat power, were once hailed as the King of Blades by the whole nation of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After Gu Dazu, the first general of the Old Southern Tang Dynasty, entered the Northern Liang Dynasty with Xu Fengnian, the elder son of the Northern Liang Dynasty, in addition to serving as the deputy commander of the infantry army, with the strong support of the young prince, he urged Gu Dazu to help Mojiajuzi create a new style of Mo knife so that it could be distributed to Beiliang in the future. The Liangbian Army, compared with the fifty-jin Modao that Jiang Jian died in the southern Tang Dynasty in history, because the men of the Northern Liang Dynasty were more sturdy and stronger, the well-deserved sword-saber of the Northern Liang was heavier, and was used by the Mohist family Song Changsui Xie. Fun named "Sixty Knives". It's a pity that it started when the first Liang Mang battle was not started, and it has only tried to cast more than a thousand of them so far, and it is difficult to use it in the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass, and then Xie Xifeng asked for it all.
In addition, there are those thousand long strokes. These steps are more expensive than the Modao, and they are rare enough to be staggering. It is an iron rule that has existed since the birth of the horse. First, the steps of the horses are extremely long and extremely difficult to use. The ordinary cavalry will only add extravagance to the use of them. The second is that it takes a long time, the craftsmanship is superb, and it is unbelievable. It is said to be built at least three years. It has always been the first-class favorite of the Central Plains riders in the past dynasties. It is even more difficult than a good horse worth a thousand dollars. Seek.
The eight-hundred-stroke step was ordered by the young prince himself, which was almost equal to the amount gathered after all the Xu family's wealth was collected. If it weren't for the Northern Liang Army Law, the rider would not be allowed to rely on his identity, plus he was used to being used to it. Xu Xiao, who had suffered too much but was also scared of poverty, in the late Spring and Autumn War, deliberately collected sages from the people of Hyogo, otherwise it would be simply wishful thinking.
In the corridor~IndoMTL.com~ This Liuzhou infantry formed by the monks and soldiers of Lantuo Mountain is sternly rejected.
At the very beginning is the extrovert, and the cold is like snow!
Three hundred people are in a horizontal team, arranged in three rows.
The first team sits on their knees, holding a long slanting forward. The second team pointed straight forward, and the third team was framed on the shoulders of the former team's soldiers, leaning forward as well.
In front of the three rows of sharp-pointed forests, there are actually two rows of strong monks and soldiers whose hands and shoulders are firmly against the huge shield.
After Ma Jian refused, there were four rows of tall monks with two hundred people in each row, holding eight hundred horses with swords in their hands.
The battle is approaching. Eight hundred people are sitting on the ground and resting. Even the Northern Mang cavalry has sounded the horn of charge. Before receiving the command from the commander, the eight hundred swordsmen are still not allowed to stand up with a knife, so they must conserve their energy to the maximum.
Once all the monks and soldiers who refused to fight the horse were killed, the eight hundred monks and soldiers with swords and soldiers would march forward.
Gu Dazu once boasted that before my Nantang Modao, people and horses were broken!
After this, there were two thousand Liuzhou frontier troops accompanied by monks, plus three thousand Lanta Mountain monks, with five thousand hard bow crossbows.
The step formation against the enemy cavalry is the first to stop the cavalry from charging. In fact, it is the five thousand crossbowmen who are at the back of the formation.
Xie Xikui did not continue to stop at the back of the line after he ordered the refusing to form.
Rather, after dismounting and walking to the crossbowman, he took off the shield hanging on the side of the saddle, and then he stood with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, standing at the forefront of the formation of the remaining monks.
The roaring Northern Mang cavalry, the silent Liuzhou formation.
In this unknown corridor, life and death are divided.
Historical books of later generations, no matter whether it is a heavy brushstroke or an understatement, without exception, it will be concluded with "six wars and six wars" for this battle.
The war is so tragic, there is nothing to add to it in just a few words!
