Chapter 84 The Hero Complex of the Spring and Autumn People
Chapter 84: The heroic complex of the people in the Spring and Autumn Period
Shi Yan nodded with a bitter smile.
Zhao Wu murmured in a low voice: "Strange, although nomadic peoples ride horses, they like to fight with us in infantry. What they call riding horses is just using the movement speed of the horses. On the contrary, I, Zhao, want to fight with them with pure cavalry - no wonder King Wuling of Zhao was able to chase them thousands of miles with cavalry a hundred years later."
No one heard Zhao Wu's low murmur clearly. Lin Hu was eager to try his hand: "Master, I, Lin Hu (Lin Hu), have not been on this prairie for many years. Please allow me to be Zuo Ju's "complete"... I think Wu Kun's archery skills are so good. It's better to call him back to protect himself. As for me, except for being stupid and having no special skills, so I will still do the charge."
Zhao Wu nodded, and Shi Yan immediately took out the bamboo talisman from his body and handed it to Lin Hu, and ordered: "Youju attack first! Hu, you have been in the Zhao family for so many years, and you should also know the Zhao family's military orders and must obey the orders."
Lin Hu excitedly took the bamboo talisman and urged the horse to run towards Zuo Ju. After a while, Wu Kun replaced him. He frowned and looked at Rong Ren's position and said, "It's not easy to deal with. Such a position, unless it is covered by crossbows, removes the opponent's strongholds one by one... But doing this takes time and time."
The Rong people on the opposite side cheered, and three or two Rong people rode into the river on horseback and began to walk towards the Zhao army on the opposite side - this is the command of the army.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, people had a small vocabulary. The word "Zhishi" had three meanings at the same time. One was to send warriors to the enemy's formation to provoke and take the opportunity to attack the enemy's camp to show the courage of the soldiers on their own; the other was to "Zhishi" when the battle was most intense, the warriors were sent by the side to fight against the enemy's generals, looking for an opportunity to force the opponent's most brave army to withdraw from the battle.
Finally, it is purely a civil servant who "goes to the army", which means: to review the other party's army, measure each other's power, and decide whether to surrender.
The first two "teacher" have the same meaning: I want to fight alone.
The first type of division is: several warriors "single-to-one" the entire army. However, this single-to-one challenge often has a sneak attack nature; the second type of "single-to-one challenge" is usually ace against ace, which looks grand and gentle and polite.
The three Rong warriors had already reached the center of the river. Zhao Wu quickly pointed out the three Rong warriors and turned around to order Wu Feng: "Remember the other party's route, the water must be shallow in that place. Since their horses can cross the river, our horses can also cross the river."
After saying that, Zhao Wu patted Pan Dang on the shoulder again and ordered: "Cheep them to death."
Pan Dang looked at Zhao Wu with contempt: "I'm here to teach you, you have to let them land."
Shi Yan also firmly opposed: "We don't know the reality of the Rong people yet. Observing these three warriors can measure the combat effectiveness of the Rong people. Master, please be more open and upright."
Zhao Wu curled his lips: "Have you heard that during the Battle of Wu and Chu, the heavily armored infantry of Chu was ambushed by Wu and destroyed. Even the generals were captured alive. What does this mean? The war has entered the omnipotent stage, and we must adapt to this era."
Pan Dang turned around and ignored Zhao Wu's nagging. Shi Yan pretended not to hear it, and ordered: "The forward took a step back fifty steps and let the Rong people's warriors land."
Zhao Wu's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Shi Yan, you are here to negotiate with the Rong people. The longer the stalemate, the better. I will take all the cavalry around the river bank and directly attack the Rong people's camp."
Ying Chu pulled out his sword and flew for a moment in the void: "Lord, I stay here to take care of it-I have been learning sword for many years, and I really want to know what great sword skills the Rong people have. Please allow me to come to the master."
Shi Yan immediately agreed: "It's just right for Ying Chu to stay here. If there is anything outstanding about the Rong warriors, Ying Chu can also prevent them."
Zhao Wu sighed regretfully, turned his head to look at Wei Min, and Wei Min was shy: "Master, I want to stay here too. If Ying Tun fails, I am here, I can shoot arrows to support him."
Zhao Wu understood the heroic complex of the Chunqiu people. The Rong people sent three warriors to challenge. Ying Chu and Wei Min wanted to stay on the front and were ready to teach a lesson to challenge the arrogant people. This was due to the Chunqiu people's worship of heroes.
Fortunately, these two people were unwilling to follow Zhao Wu to "sneak attack", and the others had no choice. They were either the Zhao family warriors, or they were too much handle in Zhao Wu's hands and dared not resist. For example, Samurai Kun put away the bow and arrow in dissatisfaction, followed Zhao Wu, while muttering: "It's boring. Originally, I wanted to fight Zuo Ju, but I didn't expect that you would consider your life heavier than the entire Zuo Ju. I would rather let Lin Hu lead the attack than to call me back to protect you.
Now I can't see the Rong people "going to the master". It's common for people from Central Plains to the master, but they always use chariots to attack. As for how to fight alone on horseback... I really want to see it."
Zhao Wu smiled and said, "You will see the assault of two thousand cavalrymen soon! As for this, we also went to the army, but I have always liked to bully the few. The Rong people sent three people to the army, because they were poor and could not produce too many people. I was rich and powerful, so I sent two thousand people to the army, so what? Who dares to blame me?"
Wu Kun thought for a while and replied: "If this is also considered a 'to-teacher', please allow me to lead the way."
Zhao Wu smiled: "No problem, you're just thorough."
Zhao Wu's head is also different from other families.
Generally speaking, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the troops of a brigade were divided into ten brigades to conduct wave attacks, but Zhao Wu's brigade pursued a wide attack front - he used a whole brigade. And there was no second in the team. He lined up five hundred cavalry into an attacking platoon and threw them into the battle at once.
Wu Kun, who was deeply fooled, pouted and watched the heavy cavalry enter the battle queue one by one. The cavalry who had just crossed the river did not wear armor when crossing the river. After completing the crossing, they took off their wet clothes and the auxiliary soldiers helped to change into dry clothes. The heavy cavalry first put on a layer of leather armor, then covered with bronze plate armor. The light cavalry had a simple breastplate, a leather helmet, a small shield in the left hand, and a scimitar in the right hand.
The auxiliary soldiers put armor on the war horses. The war horses in the armor were charged horses. At this time, the heavy cavalry were still riding on the horses under their crotch. After completing the armor, an auxiliary soldier led the armored charge horses and followed the heavy cavalry forward, while the heavy cavalry wearing full armored rode on the horses and tried to get himself close to the enemy camps.
The Rong people had already seen this team. At this time, the front camp was in a hustle and three Rong soldiers who were leading the army had already stood on the left bank. They showed off their power in the open space specially vacated by Zhao Bing. Infected by these three Rong soldiers, many Rong people also rode across the river bank and joined their team... As more and more Rong people crossed the river, the enemy seemed to have formed a counterattack.
The number of cavalry brought by Zhao Wu was small, with two thousand cavalry plus one thousand auxiliary soldiers, which seemed a little lonely in front of the huge camp of the Rong people. At this time, the heavy cavalry began to jump off the "walking horse" with the help of the auxiliary soldiers, and instead climbed onto the "charge horse". At the same time, the light cavalry began to run in front of the heavy cavalry, constantly using bows and arrows to prevent the Rong people from approaching.
The Rong soldiers shouted, and a team of two thousand people rushed out of the Rong people's camp and rushed towards Zhao Wu's team.
At this time, all the heavy cavalry had climbed onto their own war horses. The first heavy cavalry took a spear over five meters long from the auxiliary soldier, and the gun rod was straight up straight into the air. Later, the charge horse of the second heavy cavalry was led and arranged on the left side one meter away from the first heavy cavalry.
Soon, more and more heavy cavalrymen entered the queue and formed an attacking line.
Zhao Wu's light cavalry retreated to give up the charge route. The auxiliary soldiers who had served the heavy cavalry ran forward with bows and crossbows and blocked the Rong soldiers with bows and crossbows. As Shi Yan guessed, the Rong soldiers rushed to the front of the Zhao Bing line, and jumped off their war horses. With a whistle, the Rong soldiers' war horses fell docilely to the ground, covering the Rong people behind them with their bodies...
Zhao Wu's auxiliary soldiers were not afraid of comparing the range. Many of these auxiliary soldiers were also the best in infantry battles. They shot one by one with the calm attitude unique to the Jin soldiers, as if comparing shooting skills with Rong soldiers, accuracy, and range of bows and arrows.
During the confrontation between the bows and arrows of both sides, the withdrawn light cavalry had jumped off their war horses. The horses were exhausted because of the frequent galloping. The light cavalry replaced the tired war horses and replaced the riding horses left by the heavy cavalry. These war horses were just walking on their backs, not galloping too much. After a while of rest, their horsepower had recovered.
Zhao Wu raised the horn and tried hard to blow two horns, one long and one short.
Suddenly, Shi Yan of the Central Army responded with a ox horn. Then, the Central Army let out a loud shout, and the bows and arrows as dense as rainstorms covered the Rong people crossing the river. Then, the Central Army sounded the drums of attack. Under the cover of a row of shield walls, the Zhao private soldiers divided into ten thoroughly and took a fierce attack posture to step into the river. They slowly advanced forward. Although the speed of advancement was slow, the will to advance was firm and stubborn.
Behind the shield wall, a thousand Han archers showed their power. They used rapid shooting like rain to tell the Rong people what "good shooting" means. Under their cover-style shooting, the Rong people walked on the camp on the river bank and screamed.
The shield wall of Zhao's private soldiers advanced to the river bank where the Rong people were. The mixed infantry and cavalry team led by Lin Hu, the left-front and Wu Qing, the right-front, also moved closer to the central army, and took the attitude of rushing forward with the help of the central army's breakthrough. Seeing this attitude, the Rong people began to increase troops to the front camp...
At this moment, Zhao Wu raised his horn again and blew a long long sound. When the auxiliary soldiers fighting the Rong people in front of the formation heard the horn, they immediately turned their direction and ran towards the Rong people's team. Their behavior caused the Rong people to laugh, but immediately, the entire Rong people's formation became silent - the Zhao family heavy cavalry came up.
Originally, due to the restraint of the fight, the Rong people did not notice the heavy cavalry that was putting out the attacking front. At this moment, the between them and the heavy cavalry became empty and there was no obstacle to cover them, which immediately allowed them to see everything in front of them.
The heavy cavalry slowly urged the war horses, and the war horses began to run in small steps. They saw that the war horses were covered with silver armor and a long sharp thorn on their foreheads, sharp and sharp.
The eyes of the war horses were covered. Relying on their trust in their masters, they ran forward blindly. On the left and right of the war horses were the breathing of their companions. On their backs were fully armed heavy cavalrymen. This group of heavy cavalrymen was covered in metal shells. The spear they held had an umbrella-like object at the handshake, which just blocked the hands of the heavy cavalry. In addition, the eyes of the heavy cavalrymen were also blocked, and there was only a small gap in the eyes of the face armor, so that the heavy cavalry could identify the direction through this gap.
The hands, eyes, and the entire head were covered in iron armor, without any skin being exposed. The Mercedes-Benzing war horses seemed to be sitting on a steel monster. Their bronze armor rippled with the horses, sparkling with the waves, as if a cold pool was a glance, making people tremble all over.
In the queue, Wu Kun shouted loudly: "Stay steady, keep steady, keep the front line, and speed up the pace."
The war horse began to run quickly, but Wu Kun still shouted: "Keep the queue, keep the queue."
The war horse began to enter the charge state and ran up with all its might. Wu Kun shouted: "Let the gun flat, prepare for sprinting, prepare..."
The Rong soldiers looked at the iron monster running in fear. At this time, the speed of the war horse had reached more than 60 kilometers per hour. Its body weighed more than 700 kilograms. The heavy cavalry with full armed bodies on the stand horse and the protective armor of the war horse itself had a total weight of more than one ton and two. With such weight and speed, a Santana could be smashed to pieces on the opposite side.
The Rong soldiers were not made by Santana.
The heavy cavalry of the Zhao family swept across the territory of the Rong people, and countless Rong people flew into the air. Many Rong people were hit by the sharp sharp corners of the war horses. They magically found that they had actually broken the sharp sharp corners, but at this time, they were also knocked into the air. By the time they landed, these people could no longer speak.
It is not surprising that the Rong soldiers broke the sharp corners on the head of the war horse. Because Zhao Wu could not think of a way to increase the ductility of metal, the war horse armor he made was not made of iron or bronze, but the raw material for casting bronze - tin.
In other words, the thorns on the body of the heavy cavalry of the Zhao family looked intimidating, but in fact they were cast from the lightest and softest metal tin in the world.
This is also to reduce the weight of the horse armor and increase the horse's Mercedes-Benz speed.
Unfortunately, the mysterious Rong soldiers here could not tell the difference. After they were knocked down by heavy cavalry, most of them had their internal organs moved. After the heavy cavalry swept across the Rong people's front line, they also fell to the ground one after another. The heavy armor made them unable to get up, and they could only lie underground and rely on the protection of their armor to wait for rescue - they also completed the mission of collision.
Following the gap opened by the heavy cavalry, the light cavalry came up - the cooperation of the Takahashi saddle and stirrups allowed the light cavalry to easily make difficult equestrian movements on the horse. They could bend their bodies to parallel to the ground, and then twist and twist the horse, condescendingly, and use the sword in their hands to kill the enemy soldiers.
Zhao Wu came up. He screamed loudly and waved the scimitar in his hand. A Rong soldier who believed he was extremely brave met Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu could not avoid it and had to use all his strength to chop the Rong man. With a loud clang, the bronze weapon that seemed sharp in the Rong man was cut off by Zhao Wu. At this time, the Rong man, whose weapon was thirty centimeters shorter than Zhao Wu, had a bronze sword tip far away from Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu's sword pounced on the other party's face.
This sword was cut with the help of the horse's sprinting power. The speed of the horse's sprinting and the waving of Zhao Wu's arm, this sword reached a speed of 100 miles per hour, and it was impossible for Rong people to react at all. He only felt a metal light flashing between his eyes, and then a stinging pain came from the tip of his nose...
After Zhao Wu finished slashing this sword, he strangled his horse. At this time, several Rong people rushed towards Zhao Wu. Before they could pounce on Zhao Wu, they heard the sound of the bowstrings. The Rong people were driven out by powerful forces - such a huge arrow came from Pan Dang who could shoot through the seven-layer armor.
Zhao Wu put away his sword and glared at Pan Dang in dissatisfaction: "What did you do just now? Didn't you see the Rong man waved his weapon at me?"
Pan Dang rolled his eyes: "Do you participate in a war, from beginning to end, without any blood on your knife?"
After a moment of pause, Pan Dang whispered: "Besides, this is a battlefield. I have to deal with endless enemies and make them not approach you. It's easy."
Zhao Wu rolled his eyes: "We are the lord! A large number of people under his command belong to the people, why do we do it yourself... If we don't work hard, we will never do it yourself!"
The war ended here, and there was no suspense. There was no suspense about the victory or defeat of a group of tigers to deal with a group of lambs. After the army gathered by the Rong people was assaulted by Zhao Wu's elite cavalry, the rear was lost. The soldiers in the forbidden state of war could not retreat. When the Zhao infantry completed crossing the river, the Rong people had only time to surrender.
After cleaning the battlefield, Shi Yan came to report: "We have killed the king of the Xiaorong Kingdom, the king of the Bo family, and the king of the Darong Kingdom, Zhongsun family fled north..."
Shi Yan smacked his lips regretfully, as if he was dissatisfied with the result. Zhao Wu smiled after hearing this: "When you escape, you run well, the living Zhongsun clan is more useful than the dead, and the escape Zhongsun clan is even more precious - if he doesn't escape, how can we gain the power to garrison here?"
After Zhao Wu said the last sentence, Shi Yan, who was originally a little dissatisfied with Zhao Wu, suddenly realized it. He gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but say, "Gaomiao!"
Zhao Wu's fief was terminated with Huocheng. He went north to reclaim land because the tribe of the army purchased some land and wanted to use the reclaim to relieve his food shortage. However, from the perspective of feudal rules, he was not qualified to garrison troops in the north of Huocheng.
However, if his farm was attacked, the situation would be different. After the attack, the Zhao clan launched a retaliation operation, and the main murderer had not been arrested. In order to search for the criminals, Zhao Bing was stationed in the north of Huo City for a long time, which was reasonable and legal from any perspective.
In fact, Zhao Wu just used the wisdom of the US military occupying Afghanistan here.
Pan Dang didn’t know Afghanistan. After Shi Yan praised him, Pan Dang immediately realized it. He also praised casually: “Yes, Zhongsun has escaped, but we have an excuse to garrison here. Let’s go back and remind the men that they don’t have to be too serious when hunting Zhongsun. They might as well turn a blind eye and let him run around.”
