After crossing the river, the Wei cavalry army coming from the right wing discovered that there was a hill that was not too high on the right wing of the Han army.
Normally, this hill would not be an obstacle.
But at this time, the Han army occupied the hill early.
Moreover, it was too difficult for the elite cavalry of the Wei army without bilateral stirrups to attack from their backs.
A general shouted loudly, telling the cavalry to dismount and prepare to try to attack with infantry.
Before the emergence of the complete three-piece cavalry suit, the cavalry was often used as both infantry and cavalry.
It's just that their cavalry is not as well prepared as pure infantry. Many of them don't even have a small buckler.
The crossbowmen who emerged from the hills rained down arrows, and the Wei troops who had little protection fell to the ground screaming.
The Wei cavalry, which failed to capture the commanding heights on the right wing, had to retreat.
At the same time, under the restraint of the Wei infantry on the front, the left wing also successfully crossed to the west bank.
This cheered up Zhang Hua.
The left wing of the Han army is a large flat land, which is most suitable for cavalry charges.
Liangzhou's horse is rampant all over the world.
This is not just talk.
Liangzhou cavalry are accustomed to using spears. They are unstoppable unless they are selected forwards.
This was the conclusion reached by the discussants when Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Guanzhong, which shows the elite of the Xiliang cavalry.
Feng Yong held up his telescope and saw the Wei cavalry in the north slowly forming a square formation, and quickly asked someone to wave his order.
Zhang Ni, who had been paying attention to the central military command flag, slowly exhaled and ordered: "Turn left, prepare!"
There was a sound of armor scraping, and the Modao team, which had been sitting and resting, stood up and formed an array, putting on their helmets at the same time.
Under the scorching sun, the armor of everyone in the Han and Wei armies had been burned so hot that it almost seemed like they were being cooked.
The only exception was the soldiers of the Modao Team. Their armors had auxiliary soldiers to help water them and cool them down.
Then a series of weapons clashed.
Since the first battle in Jieting, the Modao team has been constantly improving in actual combat.
The soldiers who protect the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion patrol Longyou from time to time and participate in the Qiang rebellion. The Modao team must advance in every battle, and it is not without purpose.
The current Mo Dao team uses Mo Dao as its main output, and for various situations, there are also weapons such as Huanshou Dao, spears, hooks and even sentry sticks as auxiliary weapons.
While weapons and protective gear are constantly improving, combat methods are also becoming more mature.
This was the Modao team's once again confrontation with the real Wei cavalry after the Battle of Jieting, and it was also the best Liangzhou cavalry in the world.
After all the auxiliary soldiers retreated, the Mo Dao team had completed their formation.
Drums sound.
The chiefs followed the drumbeat and ordered: "Come in!"
Soldiers who advance with swords must not only be tall, but also must undergo regular physical and endurance training.
Add in the supplement of meat from pastures and farms, and everyone can be considered a muscular man.
Behind the black mask, cold eyes flashed.
"The first battle that the Modao team faced at Jieting was the New Fifth Army of the Wei Kingdom's Central Army. Among them were the elite tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers of Cao Cao who dominated the world back then."
Feng Yong handed the binoculars to Jiang Wei, "Both the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can be considered the best in the world. Bo Yue, do you think the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is more powerful, or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
Jiang Wei held up his telescope and saw the Wei army's cavalry charging. At the same time, on the big man's side, countless snow-white swords were raised diagonally, shining dazzlingly under the sun.
The cavalry is like a torrent, and the sword is like a jungle.
The Liangzhou cavalry holding a spear slammed into Mo Dao, who was coming in like a wall.
At this moment, Jiang Wei's body tensed up.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, known for its powerful impact, actually only shook the first two or three rows in front of this heavy infantry phalanx, and then all the men and horses were strangled to pieces!
"Dong dong dong!"
The drum beat became more urgent.
"Enter!"
The Mo Dao queue standing at the back immediately stepped forward, crossing the first few rows, and so on, replenishing their numbers in turn.
There is only life and death, no retreat.
The blood under the feet did not seep into the ground in time because there was too much minced meat. In this weather, it suddenly became sticky.
The people of Liangzhou are fierce and not afraid of death, and the Liangzhou cavalry are even more powerful.
But no matter how they charged, the Han army's forest of long swords was like an iron city wall, causing them to fall down again and again, with their heads bruised and bleeding.
"Junhou, although I don't know which one is more powerful, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I know that they have no choice but to bow in front of Junhou's Mo Dao Team."
After a long time, Jiang Wei put down the telescope, took a long breath, turned his head and looked at Feng Yong, with some inexplicable awe in his eyes.
As more and more Wei troops crossed the river, the frontal battle became more intense.
The desire to return to the master and fight to the death was given its greatest explanation at this time.
Many Wei soldiers rushed towards the Han army's formation with red eyes, regardless of their safety.
A spear pierced Wei Zu's thigh, and the powerful penetration force exposed the spear head from the back of his thigh. Wei Zu gritted his teeth and raised his knife to swing at the gun body.
There was a "click" sound, the gun body was very tough, only a cut was made.
Shock came from the gun body, and Wei Zu almost fainted from the pain. He knew that he would not be spared, so when the opponent did not pull the spear in time, he threw himself down and hugged the gun body tightly: "Kill the prisoner!"
The comrades beside him shouted, raising their swords and rushing towards the Han soldier who was trying to draw out his spear.
The Han soldier was forced to let go of his spear, but he was a step too late after all, and the long knife had already hit his arm.
With a "swish" sound, blood spurted out like a fountain, and the arm lost its owner and fell to the ground.
The Han soldier screamed, but fortunately someone came over to help him block the long knife that was coming towards him again, thus preventing him from having his head chopped off.
The Wei cavalry on the left wing was frustrated in their aggressive charge at first, but this did not affect their morale. They retreated, reorganized their formation, and charged in turn.
The piles of minced meat piled up even more.
Finally, the Wei cavalry, which suffered heavy losses, began to circle continuously.
Not to mention ordinary cavalry, even the cavalry generals have never seen such a weird and ferocious unit.
This kind of soldier seems to be born to restrain cavalry.
No matter how powerful the cavalry is in front of it, there will only be one end: both men and horses will be shattered.
"With infantry like this, why should the cavalry have anything to fear?"
Jiang Wei murmured.
"Not necessarily." Feng Yong said from the side, "In this world, if there is yin, there must be yang, and if there is a spear, there will be a shield."
"Cavalry already has an advantage when facing infantry, but this kind of sudden cavalry can't do anything to this kind of infantry."
Jiang Wei couldn't believe it: "Is there any cavalry in the world that can defeat such infantry?"
Feng Yong nodded: "Yes."
In a head-on battle, light cavalry has no advantage over heavy infantry.
But if it is replaced by armor and riding equipment, that may not be the case.
Whether it was the Southern and Northern Dynasties when armored riding equipment began to rise, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or even the Song and Yuan Dynasties, armored riding equipment occupied an extremely important strategic position.
This can be confirmed from documentary materials and unearthed cultural relics.
Unlike what some people think, the Tang Dynasty and Yuanmeng only focused on light cavalry.
Of course, due to different battlefields, the armored cavalry equipment may also become armored cavalry, that is, the man wears armor but the horse does not wear armor.
It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that armor and riding equipment truly ceased to exist on the battlefield.
Because of the emergence of firearms, the form of warfare has changed.
The Modao team of the Tang Dynasty was invincible because the people it faced were basically light cavalry from the grassland peoples.
At the same time, Datang itself had a large number of cavalry to cooperate with the Modao team.
Heavy infantry without cavalry support would not have much of an advantage when facing armored cavalry.
Even when facing the enemy's light cavalry and heavy cavalry to attack together, most of the time they can only end up in despair.
At this time, armored riding equipment has not yet appeared, or it may appear, but in the current world, no one can afford it in the Han, Wei and Wu Three Kingdoms.
Because this thing is equivalent to burning gold.
As far as the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu are concerned, which one is not bitter?
Just maintaining a draft ratio of ten to one is enough to make people breathless.
Of course, the lives of the people of the Han Dynasty may be slightly better than those of the other two countries.
So as long as the cavalry equipment does not appear, the Mo Dao team will be a nightmare for the cavalry.
Jiang Wei wanted to know what kind of cavalry could defeat the Mo Dao team, but he opened his mouth and did not dare to ask.
What if Feng Wenhe misunderstood him and said that he wanted to defeat the Mo Dao team in his hands?
When Feng Yong saw Jiang Wei's appearance, he took the initiative and said, "There is no such cavalry in the world today. If there is a chance in the future, Bo Yue will never have the chance to see it."
While the two were talking, they saw the Wei cavalry on the left wing began to circle back, as if they were looking for weaknesses in the Han army's formation.
"Junhou!"
Jiang Wei saw it and quickly reminded him.
Feng Yong took the telescope and looked in the direction Jiang Wei pointed. He discovered Wei Jun's intention. After putting down the telescope, he nodded to Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei bowed and hurriedly walked off the stage.
After a while, the Tiger Troops who had been staying behind quickly started to move.
The Wei army's cavalry made a large circle and then discovered the Tiger Infantry, which was waiting in full formation.
I don’t know what the cavalry general of the Wei army was thinking. Maybe he was afraid of being killed by the Mo Dao team, or maybe he found that the Tiger Infantry had been prepared, which made him feel something strange.
Therefore, the Wei cavalry walked around in front of the Tiger Infantry for several times, but did not launch a charge.
The sound of gold ringing from the rear relieved the Wei cavalry from their embarrassment.
The cavalry general breathed a sigh of relief and led the cavalry back to the east bank in a hurry.
The Wei army left a pile of corpses and many groaning wounded soldiers on the west bank.
Jufu led the men and chased them for a while, and did not stop until they reached the water's edge.
"Why did Cao Cao suddenly retreat?"
From the desperate appearance at the beginning to the sudden retreat now, Feng Yong was a little confused.
"It doesn't look like they are powerless to attack. I thought they would hold on for another hour!"
Jiang Wei, who ran to the rear and stared at the Wei cavalry for a long time, rushed back to the commander's banner after receiving the news that Cao's thieves had retreated, and was ready to follow orders to assist the battalions in front.
When he arrived, he happened to hear Feng Yong say this, so he guessed: "General, I think it may be because the sun is heading west?"
"Um?"
Feng Yong couldn't understand Jiang Wei's words.
"Please take a look, sir." Jiang Wei turned around, facing the west, and pointed at the sun, "Cao Cao is facing the sun in the west, and his vision seems to be blurry. Isn't it because the weather is unfavorable?"
Feng Yong followed Jiang Wei and turned around, and the sunlight happened to shine into his eyes, causing him to squint his eyes involuntarily and use his hands to build an awning.
"Heaven and earth win harmony, and the ancients are honest and will not be bullied by me!" Feng Yong suddenly looked at Jiang Wei and praised, "Bo Yueguo is as the prime minister said, keen on military affairs and talented in military strategy."
Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed and said modestly, "Your Majesty, you have given me a reward. When this junior general led the army to the north to face the enemy, he happened to be dazzled by the sun, so he just remembered it."
"It is the first time that Boyue leads an army to face the enemy. It is extremely rare for him to be able to act like this."
Feng Junhou still did not hesitate to praise him.
Jiang Wei became even more embarrassed, but he still considered one thing, "Your Majesty, when the sun turns to the west, it is advantageous for us. But when the sun rises tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be our turn to be at a disadvantage. "
Feng Yong was startled. He had not thought of this for a moment.
Jiang Wei continued to say, "Your Majesty, the leader of the Cao thieves on the opposite side is able to detect this early, so he must also be a man of war."
"In the general's opinion, he will definitely attack when the sun rises tomorrow, and the prince must be on guard."
Feng Yong frowned and turned to look at the other side.
I saw that the opposite side had begun to gather troops and horses, and it seemed that they were indeed preparing to withdraw their troops.
On the second day, the sun had just risen and the Wei army began to gather.
Zhang Hua turned his back to the Han army and waited until the sun slowly rose. The sunlight shone into his eyes, making him squint involuntarily.
A smile appeared on his face and he began to order the drums to be played.
Wei Jun once again repeated yesterday's process, crossing the river, shooting arrows...
But when Wei Jun rushed to the other side, he saw a patch of green.
Each Han soldier wore a green hat made of green leaves and branches on his head, which was equivalent to adding a hat brim.
The Han army, who should have been dazzled by the sun, was not affected by the direct sun at all under the protection of the green hat.
The Han army's arrows are still so dense, the spearheads are still so accurate, and the posture of holding the sword to chop people is still so fierce...
Soon a returning general and colonel spread the news to Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua, who was standing on the shore, listened. His expression froze at first, then began to turn green, then white, and finally green...
Finally, he took a staggering step and almost fell into the water.
"Prefect, be careful!"
Fortunately, the general who came to report was quick-sighted and quickly supported him.
Zhang Hua covered his chest and smiled miserably: "I thought I could use my timing, but I didn't expect that my opponent had already seen through my plan."
"Xiao Wenhe, Xiao Wenhe, he really deserves his reputation!"
Thinking again that he had been robbed of food and fodder, and was blocked here by the opponent, even the improvised strategies he came up with were all part of the opponent's plan.
At this thought, Zhang Hua suddenly became disheartened: How could he defeat Zhang, a man known as Xiao Wenhe?
"This cuckold idea that Junhou came up with is really wonderful!"
Jiang Wei also wore a green head and experienced the effect for himself. He found that the sunlight was really blocked, and there was excitement on his face.
He looked at Feng Yong, who wasn't even wearing a helmet, "Why don't you try wearing it?"
Feng Junhou coughed and said, "Boyue, I won't try it. I won't go into battle in person, so I don't need to wear this."
At this time, suddenly several cavalrymen from behind ran back to the camp.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao's Jincheng reinforcements have arrived!" Even in the early morning, the Night Hunters in the Dark Night Camp were sweating profusely and gasping for air, "The furthest distance from here is only ten miles."
Feng Yong's expression finally became serious: "Cavalry?"
"Yes, they are all cavalry!"
"how many people?"
"still not clear."
Feng Yong looked at Zhang Yuan who was standing aside, "Send it to the Dark Night Camp and ask them to find out how many people are coming to aid Cao in Jincheng!"
"promise!"
Zhang Yuan ran down quickly.
"Boyo, how are the preparations for the trench barrier behind the camp going?"
Feng Yong asked.
"In the past two days, the civilians and auxiliary soldiers have worked hard, and it has barely taken shape."
Jiang Wei answered quickly.
Feng Yong nodded, "That's good. Release all the captured civilians and auxiliary soldiers, drive them south along the current, and let them hide in the mountains."
"Cao's thieves are attacking from both front and rear. These civilians and auxiliary soldiers are a hidden danger."
He looked at Jiang Wei and said word by word, "Bo Yue, this rear area will be completely handed over to your Tiger Infantry. I don't have any extra battalions on hand."
"If you can withstand it, our army will be safe. If you can't, the whole army will be destroyed."
Jiang Wei clasped his fists heavily, "Please rest assured, Lord!"
After saying that, he turned around and went down.
Feng Yong looked to the east again with a deep look: "Wei Yan, Wei Yan, I hope you can really live up to the late emperor's vision. Don't let me down!"
A ten-mile journey is not that far for the cavalry, as long as the horse power is not used.
When he saw smoke rising to the west, Feng Yong couldn't help but slap himself.
Damn it, I clearly swore at Long Pass last year that I would never leave my future to others, so why do I have such a short memory?
I'm stuck at the mountain pass, threatening the enemy's food route and retreat. Isn't it over? Why don't you think about eating each other in one go?
