"Prime Minister! A hundred thousand Xiongnu troops invaded Wuhuan. What happened now?" Dongfang Yu asked as he walked.
actually! As an ally of Wuhuan, no one can stand by and watch when one party is in crisis. after all! The Xiongnu were so powerful that no one clan could contend with them.
Let's just say that Wuhuan's total internal strength has reached more than 80,000. After the turmoil within the clan, there should be more than 70,000, of course! This total force naturally does not include the imperial guards guarding the royal court. If it were counted as the imperial guards, Wuhuan's strength should be around 80,000.
As for the Qin Army, excluding the Xuanjia Army, the Secret Guards, and the Forbidden Army, the total strength should be around 85,000. These 85,000 soldiers can be mobilized to the battlefield at any time. The two armies now have their combined forces together. With sufficient food and grass, they can at least seek self-protection.
Tian Ping frowned, a trace of worry flashed across his expression, and said: "Since the king returned to the capital, he will take charge of Northern Liang, and I will not dare to slack off at all."
"Because of the Wuhuan tribe, the border is really tight. A hundred thousand Xiongnu troops have already arrived at the city! As an ally of the Wuhuan tribe, we, the Qin Dynasty, naturally cannot stand idly by! I have made my own decision and ordered Jianwei General Ma Chao and Mighty General Pei Yuanqing to lead Five thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry, a total of twenty thousand horses, set out to attack Wuhuan."
"We have ordered them to be stationed on the left side of the Xiongnu army, in coordination with the Wuhuan border city defenders! I feel that this is the only way to contain the Xiongnu soldiers!"
Dongfang Yu couldn't help but nodded his head slightly, and immediately said: "The Prime Minister did a very good job!"
"Send the order! Order the generals of Beiliang to come to the palace immediately to see Gu! Just tell him that I have important matters to discuss with the generals."
"promise!"
Prince Huerkang, this guy is very shrewd, I'm afraid! Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing are two brave men, maybe it’s not good! You will suffer a big loss. after all! When it comes to strategy and courage, Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing are not too bad, but when it comes to intrigue, they are no match for these princes and princes who often live in the inner palace and play with power.
After nearly ten days of waiting, the Huns army finally made a move.
Huerkang was in charge personally, with an army of 40,000, pressing down on the border. In addition! Hundreds of catapults, siege engines, etc. are all ready.
"Today! Let's talk about the Wuhuan army, the beginning of the nightmare." Huerkang smiled knowingly.
seem! It seems to have been premeditated.
Boom, boom, boom!
The trumpet blows! War drums beat!
Not only did the Wuhuan border town blow the horns and beat the war drums, but even Ma Chao's troops were ready to go and quickly assembled the army.
The entire grassland battlefield was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
On the top of the border gate…
The Wuhuan soldiers were busy nervously. to be honest! The Huns watched but did not attack for ten days, and most of the soldiers' fighting spirit had already slackened a lot.
"General! How is the situation?" Cournot quickly climbed onto the tower and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Long said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! With our border city's 40,000 troops, plus the Qin army's 20,000 troops, the total army is 60,000. The Huns have already lost their biggest advantage in this war."
"Um!"
but! Gounod has always had a bad feeling in his heart, and he just felt that something was wrong!
He was thinking that the Huns were divided into three camps: left, center and right. Among them! The Zuo camp suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Qin army, with more than 10,000 troops casualties, and then! He also sent General Agulang to re-station the Zuo Camp to defend the Zuo Camp.
But so far! In the right camp at the entrance of the mountain col, it was terrifyingly cold, as if! The 20,000 troops in the right camp did nothing else except sleep all day long.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Hu Yanzhuo of the right camp is a famous general in the grassland. In the Daliao Empire, Hu Yanzhuo is both civil and military. He ranks eighth among the ten generals of Daliao. His ability is definitely not low.
As Cournot thought…
At this time, in the Xiongnu right camp, except for some symbolic old and weak soldiers, the main force of Hu Yanzhuo's 20,000 troops had long been evacuated, and there was no trace of it.
What King Wuhuan and the frontline army didn't know was that Hu Yanzhuo quietly left the camp with an army of 20,000 men five days ago! Now! The soldiers who stayed in the right camp were the defeated Huns soldiers and the wounded from the left camp.
Hu'erkang was worried before that after Hu Yanzhuo's army was gone, five thousand troops would be left behind to deceive others and blind the eyes of the Wuhuan people. Better now! The 20,000-strong army of the Zuo Camp was instantly defeated in just one night, with numerous casualties. How could Huerkang hate it in his heart? Directly transport the defeated and wounded soldiers from the left camp to the right camp quietly.
So!
Where did Hu Yanzhuo's 20,000 main force go?
"Hahaha!"
"We have to go around to the back of the Wuhuan Royal Court, but it will waste a lot of my strength, the general?" Hu Yanzhuo was ecstatic.
Behind you! Banners covered the sky, and an army of 20,000 people stood with attention.
Ten thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry.
in! There were five thousand cavalry, dressed strangely, making clanking noises as they walked! It seemed as if he was wearing a suit of iron armor, and the war horse was also wearing a suit of iron armor. This army is just like the Xuanjia Army under Dongfang Yu.
This five thousand cavalry is the iron army of the Xiongnu and even the world, named Iron Buddha.
Iron pagoda is also called iron pagoda. pagoda means iron pagoda in Buddhist language.
Iron Buddha! They are heavy cavalry, that is, cavalry with both men and horses wearing heavy armor and attacking enemy formations. Together with the Guaizima, they accompanied Huerkang in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle.
The main force of the Liao army's cavalry can only be the light and medium-sized left and right wing cavalry "Guaizima", rather than the heavy cavalry "Tiefutu". This is because ancient heavy armor was very expensive and could not be equipped on a large scale, and because the heavy cavalry had to bear the burden In addition to the weight of the armor, they also have to fight, which requires them to have superhuman physiques.
Is this why? Why was Hu Yanzhuo so slow during his march? He should have bypassed the mountains and reached the position west of Wuhuan in three days. This is all because the Tiefutu moves slowly and cannot compare with the light cavalry. In terms of combat, the general cavalry is a charge. The Tiefutu, however, acts as a tank for the army.
Another feature of the Liao Army's "Iron Float Tu" is that in certain situations that are not conducive to heavy cavalry combat, they often dismount and use them as heavy infantry.
Iron Buddha-style armor, heavy armored cavalry with one soldier and multiple horses. The heavy armor of the golden heavy cavalry is called "Iron Buddha", and the three horses connected together are called "Kaizi Horse".
The heavy armor of Daliao is in the shape of a tower. "Iron Buddha" really refers to the armor's shape as a tower. Its armor pieces are not tiny armor leaves, but long plate-like armor strips with strong layering. They are circled layer by layer. body.
…
certainly! The Iron Buddha of the Liao Dynasty, with this equipment, can indeed be regarded as the pinnacle of Dawu's arms at this time. But if compared with the Xuanjia Army under Dongfang Yu, Tiefu Tu is simply a scrap of iron.
The armor of the Xuanjia Army, whether it is armor or vest, its degree of protection and weight must be optimized compared to Iron Buddha Tu.
