Chapter 37 Iron Flow 6
The ambitious first warrior of Chi Luo's tribe never expected that such a team of elite infantry with special tactics would be hidden in the Jin army. He struggled for a few times and died in an instant.
In a complex and changeable combat environment, it is necessary to fully equip the troops to effectively respond. Taking the front army led by Ding Miao as an example, although the two thousand people are cavalry, the hundreds of people led by Tulinus are quite special.
Before he fell to the East, Turinus was a promising Roman emperor. Although he was a civilian, his family had a deep foundation in the Thrace region and had several Macedonian governors. The fifth "Skylark" legion he joined was founded by the great Caesar. When he was rebuilt decades later, he was named "Macedonia" because of his recruitment of Macedonian soldiers. With Turinus' family background, this legion was naturally like a fish in water, and he himself was indeed a brave and good fighter. Therefore, he was able to serve as the chief centurion just after he was over thirty years old and was praised by the Roman emperor Carinus many times for his merits. This position was the highest position that civilians could achieve, and was second only to the commander of the legion, military civilians and battalion commander in the entire legion.
The Fifth Legion was an elite unit directly belonging to Karinus. Turinus fought in Gaul for a long time with the emperor, and originally wanted to gain the status of a knight. However, unexpected events occurred. Another of the Roman two emperors, Karinus' brother Numerian, died suddenly, and his capable subordinate Diocles was supported as emperor. Karinus was furious and fought against Diocles. After winning consecutive battles, he was assassinated and died. Karinus's legion had to surrender to Diocles and recognize his status as the Roman emperor.
But there were also many soldiers loyal to the emperor who were resentful of the despicable behavior of the rebels. They gave up their military posts and fled in groups. Even if they were captured by Diocles, Turinus was one of them. They were far away from the country ruled by the rebels and headed eastward.
After twenty-three years of wandering, countless wanderings and death seemed to be gone in a flash. The Roman soldiers gradually withered, and Tulinus was left alone. When he was middle-aged, he felt tired and lost his goal in life. So he fell into the Xianbei Bomei tribe in a small tribe in Guangchang County, Daijun, and planned to spend the rest of his life in a daze from then on.
However, Lu Yao led his army into Dai County, which changed the direction of Tulinus's life. On the same huge but turbulent and weak imperial border, the heroic generals led elite subordinates to fight against the barbarians. This scene reminded him of his fighting in Gaul when he was young. In a vague way, he saw himself in Lu Yao and the emperor who was dedicated and loyal.
Tulinus was armed with military force and joined the army again. In just two months, Lu Yao was promoted to the commander of the army and became a senior officer second only to several generals. After his rigorous training, his six hundred subordinates were all men from the northern border who were able to dismount and form formations. At the same time, they were also extremely rare infantrymen in the northern border who could dismount and form formations to fight.
When Tulinus lived in the Bomi tribe, he often guided the young and strong tribes to practice tactics to express his sorrow for thousands of miles of home. The Hus in the northern border were naturally not used to this kind of array method, but with the civil and military talents accumulated by Tulinus' wandering thousands of miles, it was naturally a tribe to deal with the simple-minded young Hu people. Over the years, the soldiers of the Bomi tribe had mostly learned the methods of intensive military formations and were well aware of the use of heavy shields, short swords, and guns. When Ding Miao attacked the Bomi tribe a few months ago, if it were not accidental and the women and children in the tribe were hostages, he might not have won so easily.
Among the six hundred subordinates of Tulinus at this moment, fifty soldiers from the Bomei tribe were born. Once they were attacked, they subconsciously raised their shields to form a dense fish scale formation, and thus they were almost never injured by arrow rain. Although they were brave but had never seen such a fighting style, Chi Luo Wanzai became the first dead soul under the spear.
When the Xianbei soldiers, who were as powerful as a mad tiger, died, many Jin soldiers around him breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
However, at this time Ding Yu shook his head, supported himself up and shouted: "Catch the enemy!"
Although the Xianbei ambush that broke out from the forest was blocked by Ding Miao for a moment, it had arrived in large numbers at this time.
The elite cavalry of the Chiluo tribe passed through the morning mist and appeared wherever they could see. Thousands of iron hooves trampled on the ground and rushed straight towards the Jin people. Such a cavalry team was enough to cause terrible losses to any opponent. The Jin army was unable to completely reorganize the team after all, and they had only time to set up a thin line of defense at the front.
The two armies collided with each other, like huge waves rolling, storm cracking the shore; like strong wind blowing snow, rocks collapsed in clouds. Bloody pieces soared into the sky, and the bodies that were hit and transformed, the broken limbs, and the organs that were pulled out were flying all over the sky. The Jin army array that was standing in front immediately collapsed, and at least two hundred people were killed instantly.
In such a short time and such huge losses, placed on the Central Plains battlefield where the kings fought, were enough to deteriorate the morale of any army. However, it was not the case in the northern border with fierce folk customs. The Hu tribes in the north fought so frequently that everyone knew under the influence of the eyes that when the two cavalry fought, the biggest casualties did not come from the head-on battle, but from the process of escape. Instead of being killed in a shameful escape, it is better to work hard to move forward and gain a glimmer of hope!
The soldiers lined up behind shouted wildly and rushed up. The cavalry of the Jin army launched a counterattack under the leadership of Ding Yu. In just a moment, thousands of people became confused into a chaotic situation that was difficult to distinguish the camp, and screams and screams rang out in every corner of their view.
At the same time, the Xianbei cavalry on both sides of the dense forest arranged by Chi Luojin were surrounded by the Xianbei cavalry. The Xianbei people invested twice the strength of the Jin army, and they were waiting for it. They quickly gained the upper hand and killed the Jin army soldiers one by one. But the Jin army resolutely counterattacked without any wavering. Everyone from Ding Miao showed courage far beyond the expected Xianbei people. On the grasslands of several miles, the two sides continued to assault, retreat, encircle, defend, fight each other, chop, poke, shoot, even push, throw, and bite. This long-planned ambush battle immediately entered an extremely fierce state.
In such an environment, Ding Miao could not realize his idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king. He rode back and forth, clashing repeatedly, but every time he was forced back by more than several times of the enemy, and there were several more minor injuries on his body. In the end, he had to penetrate the enemy's weakness, and had just joined the more than a hundred cavalry led by Ding Yu, and then fell into the siege of the enemy.
A stream of arrow flew over Ding Miao's side face with Li Xiao, and a piece of flesh flew away. Ding Miao, who had survived death, cursed angrily, pulled down his ears torn by the arrows, threw them out with great force, and smashed them into the face of the Xianbei knight in front of him with a bang.
Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent was stunned, he waved the iron halberd and stabbed forward. Under the huge force, the iron halberd pierced the Xianbei warrior's belly. The wide sharp blade and crescent moon were exposed from the back, and the remaining strength was still strong, and he pierced the horse's back diagonally. The gray warrior neighed loudly, and the knights carrying almost cut at both ends fell, blocking many Xianbei warriors rushed in this direction.
Ding Miao took the opportunity to turn with his legs and the galloping war horse passed by the side of the deceased.
The two iron halberds in his hand had almost turned completely red. When he waved, it seemed like a bright red slaughter in the air. No enemy could avoid his lightning-like slashing. On his way forward, countless Xianbei soldiers roared and surrounded him, and then retreated like a boiling wave on the bow of the boat.
When he didn't know how many of the heads were splattering blood and falling from his horse, Ding Miao suddenly felt someone watching him. He looked back suddenly and saw a black-robed enemy general holding a huge machete with a strange shape, gradually urging the horse to speed up.
Ding Miao, who is considered to be the most brave general under the command of the governor of Bingzhou, and Duan Wenyang, the famous evil star in the Youzhou army, did not know each other. But when the two looked at each other, they felt a huge danger and a murderous aura that was so strong that it was difficult to look directly at!
The news that the front team was ambushed was quickly passed to the central army inside and outside the book. Lu Yao was surprised and unconsciously raised his hand to hold the sword on his waist. The cold hilt gave him a slight stimulation, which made him calm immediately.
This time, his plan was thorough, his reconnaissance was thorough, his disguise was realistic, and the speed of the army was quick, but the complex environment was difficult to grasp in all aspects. Obviously, this time, the Dai County Army had fallen into the calculations of others.
The ignorant Tuoba Xianbei people had such a strategy, and he had never thought of it before, but... no, this would not be a strategy that Tuoba Xianbei people could use. The chiefs were facing the great collapse of the Tuoba Xianbei Alliance and were all too busy to take care of themselves. They had no patience and no need to fight the imperial soldiers and horses. Lu Yao's mind turned sharply, and it seemed that a powerful enemy he ignored was gradually emerging from the darkness.
"General, what should I do?" someone around me asked.
What should I do? Lu Yao asked himself, if he was leading his troops, after ambushing the front army, he would inevitably have many subsequent means to use one by one. At this moment, the battle ahead is in full swing, and more enemies may be hidden in the dark and will make judgments based on his subsequent actions. He immediately looked into the distance, and the thick fog in the morning was gradually dissipating, the grasslands and forests were vast and endless. How many enemies would be hidden in it? How many cruel and bloodthirsty eyes were looking at him?
"Wait a minute." Lu Yao whispered.
