Longmendu has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!
On both sides of the river bank, there are two huge stone plates, two feet high. There are two huge iron pillars on the stone plate, with the stone holes facing each other. Longmen Crossing was first established in the Dafeng Dynasty and had indeed prevented the northern barbarians from invading southward. Just pull up a few iron ropes to seal the Guangling River. Most of the iron cables that block the pass are slightly hidden in the water, and they will only emerge from the water during the dry season. In a sense, this is indeed a barrier that prevents the Northern Liang cavalry from continuing to penetrate into the dangerous border of Da Chu. However, with the rebellion of Xi Chu Jiang Dajiang and burning the iron rope with his own hands, this dragon gate was able to cross the desolate river without a single feather. ending.
Even if the general guarding the river at Longmen Crossing did not surrender, he would not be able to stop the Beiliang cavalry from heading south. Without it, God would not be happy. This year's weather is the coldest in the past century. Even the Guangling River is covered with a thick layer of ice...
After taking Longmendu without losing any force, it means that the Beiliang Iron Cavalry has officially entered the core hinterland of Dachu, which means that the Beiliang Iron Cavalry can no longer be as relaxed and free as before!
After discovering that Longmen Crossing was lost, General Chu Lai decisively deployed 120,000 heavy-armored euphorbia soldiers at the Jinghe defense line, which was the most powerful Chu army in the world. No one in Dachu believed that Xu Xiao could break through the blockade of the Euphorbia. As long as Xu Xiao, a northern barbarian, is held back by the Euphorbia, Da Chu can use its own national power to consume Xu Xiao to death...
Da Chu is indeed a powerful nation, otherwise it would be impossible to build this 120,000-strong heavy-armored euphorbia warriors, which is a spectacular sight in history. Now that the opponent has set up a battle formation, Xu Xiao comes to visit as usual: "Two strategists, can these 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers stop our Beiliang Iron Cavalry?"
Zhao Changling was very interested in these 120,000 heavily armored Euphorbia warriors and didn't bother to talk to Xu Xiao. Instead, he concentrated on observing...
Li Yishan smiled. Zhao Changling didn't give Xu Xiao face, so he couldn't let the general be embarrassed there alone: "In Yishan's humble opinion, it's just outdated and useless!"
Not only Li Yishan, but also everyone in the Beiliang army "looked down" on these 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers. What era has it been? We still play pure heavy armored infantry. On the battlefield, heavy armored infantry without enough cavalry coordination is nothing more than a target, unless a cavalry general is clever enough to charge at someone else's halberd.
However, having said that, Xu Xiao still has to fight these 120,000 heavily armored euphorbia soldiers, because Xu Xiao wants to use these 120,000 live targets to train: "Wen Luan!"
"The last general is here!" Yan Wenluan is the number one infantryman under Xu Xiao. His cavalry blocking camp is said to be able to block a cavalry with one step and kill a thousand cavalry with a thousand steps.
"If you don't know how to use Dachu Euphorbia, your cavalry camp may not be willing to accept it..." Xu Xiao seemed to be talking to Yan Wenluan, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Yan Wenluan, take the order! "
Yan Wenluan had almost forgotten the last time his cavalry battalion was the first to attack. The man suppressed his inner ecstasy and knelt down on one knee: "The last general takes command!"
Yan Wenluan knew that he had to use all his strength, because the stronger the combat power displayed by the blocking cavalry battalion, the more he could test the upper limit of the Euphorbia warriors' strength. General Xu Xiao wants to eat Chu as quickly as possible, so Yan Wenluan must clear the obstacle of the Euphorbia for the general. Without delay, the five thousand cavalry battalion was assembled in an instant and was ready to cross the Jinghe River and fight the Euphorbia soldiers at any time.
Da Chu immediately noticed the movements of the Northern Liang cavalry and quickly understood the intentions of the northern barbarians. The opponent pulled out five thousand infantry and stood on the river bank, hoping to defeat the world's best Euphorbia warriors with infantry. This approach is tantamount to a slap in the face. As a state of etiquette in the Central Plains, Dachu seems to have a very necessary need to teach these barbarians the rules and let them know what the strongest heavy armored infantry in history is. As a result, a group of five thousand Euphorbia warriors soon appeared on the other side of the river, ready to attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
This is not only the beat of the war drum, but also the footsteps of the two top heavy armored infantry in the world walking on the earth. Jinghe River stretches for hundreds of miles in Dachu and is one of the branch rivers of the Guangling River. Even the Guangling River was frozen with a layer of ice, not to mention the mere Jinghe River. The battle between heavy armored infantry is so simple and unpretentious. Whoever retreats will lose, and whoever does not retreat will die.
Xu Xiao is training troops, not fighting to the death. After confirming the strength of Dachu's Euphorbia warriors, they ordered gold and retreated their troops. This time, it was the first time that the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry collided with the strongest military force of Da Chu. Three thousand of the cavalry battalions were killed in the battle, and the same three thousand of Da Chu's Euphorbia warriors were killed. What kind of bullshit is the best in the world? Such good equipment was really wasted. Earlier, Zhao Changling had been staring at the 120,000 Euphorbia warriors, because in Zhao Changling's view, if Beiliang could completely annihilate this 120,000 Chu heavy-armored Euphorbia warriors, then Beiliang could defeat them all in one fell swoop. The army was expanded to 200,000, a full 100,000 more infantry. These pieces of equipment have restricted the military strength of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry from the very beginning. Naturally, Xu Xiao was also the one who had the same idea as Zhao Changling. Those Dachu Euphorbia warriors with extremely rubbish fighting will were on par with the elite cavalry battalion under his command. The fundamental reason was that the Euphorbia warriors had The equipment is much better than that of the blocking camp.
There was no words for a night, and the cold wind continued to test the will of every soldier. The 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers neither crossed the river nor chose to press forward. As long as 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers guard the river, it will be the best natural moat. Obviously Da Chu himself knew very well that once the Euphorbia soldiers crossed the river, without Jinghe as a support, the opponent could not fight the Euphorbia soldiers at all, and only needed to bypass the Euphorbia soldiers. Across the frozen Jinghe River, the Beiliang Cavalry and the Euphorbia Knights lit up continuous bonfires in their respective military camps.
As expected of the Euphorbia warriors who had high hopes placed on them by Da Chu, the blockade of the Jinghe defense line was airtight, and the military formation was even more strict. After the first formal bloody battle, the Beiliang army has come to the conclusion that it is difficult to beat these Euphorbia warriors by head-on confrontation. Even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. One hundred thousand Beiliang cavalry cannot The explanation is here. With the combat power shown by the Euphorbia warriors during the day, Beiliang Commandery is intensively formulating tactics specifically against the Euphorbia warriors!
The 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers were a bit scary, but Xu Xiao was not intimidated. Since the frontal battlefield cannot determine the outcome of this battle, the outcome will be determined by the peripheral battlefield. At this point, Zhao Changling and Li Yishan reached a consensus that the Beiliang cavalry must give full play to their cavalry advantages. The elite cavalry crossed the Jinghe River and cut off the supply line of 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers in one fell swoop. Only in this way can the Battle of Jinghe be won with minimal casualties.
Zhao Changling recommended Chen Zhibao
Li Yishan recommended Chu Lushan
Unconsciously, a new generation replaced the old ones, and the old brothers who had followed Xu Xiao in the southern and northern wars gradually retreated to the second line of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, and were replaced by Chen Zhibao, Chu Lushan and others. Moreover, Xu Xiao had to admit that these young people are really outstanding: "Chen Zhibao, Manjia Camp will be handed over to you today. As for you Chu Lushan, if you lose my 30,000 elite cavalry, I, Xu Xiao, will be cut into pieces you!"
Manjia Camp, the first heavy armored cavalry in Beiliang. Today, the First Infantry Cavalry Battalion of Beiliang fought against the Euphorbia Warriors, and it was a draw. But a draw is useless, and there is no way to break through the iron barrel-like defense of 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers. The only ones who can securely defeat heavy armored infantry in the front are heavy armored cavalry. Although the heavy armored cavalry seems to be very slow, if the heavy armored cavalry really charges up, its powerful kinetic energy will crush everything. The reason why Xu Xiao handed over the Manjia Battalion to Chen Zhibao was to open a gap in the Euphorbia defense line, a gap that could allow the light cavalry to pass quickly...
