Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Ten Thousand Blades Chariot Attacks Zhou Camp at Night
Chapter 320: Ten Thousand Blades Chariot Attacks Zhou Camp at Night
Amidst the neighing of horses, the heavy cavalry of the Western Zhou Dynasty continued to fall to the ground. The heavy cavalry, which was best at attacking the enemy's formation, was not only in vain, but its original arrow formation had already collapsed. This heavy blow made Jiang Ziya unable to recover for a while, and he felt
I finally climbed to the top, only to be thrown down hard.
What is a complete defeat? It turns out that this is a complete defeat!
How did Jiang Ziya know that n years later, the Mongolian cavalry, which was so powerful in Eurasia, relied on this "Parthian archery method" to dominate the world and was unrivaled? It once defeated Europe's most elite 100,000 Hungarian army on the banks of the Danube River, almost
It completely eliminated the resistance forces in Europe at that time and played a song "Red Danube" with blood.
So... what is the role of the heavy cavalry that the Zhou army relied on on the battlefield? In fact, long before the Mongols, heavy cavalry had gradually disappeared from the army. Because in the battle formation, the mobility of the army was
Very important. The power of an ordinary army consists of three parts: strike power, protection and mobility. If the three parts cannot achieve a certain balance, the overall power will be greatly restricted. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the heavy cavalry was actually lightly equipped by the peasant army.
The troops took advantage of their mobility to defeat them on the vast battlefield. Gradually, heavy cavalry gradually disappeared, and light cavalry became an inevitable choice.
Although Jiang Ziya also had certain military talents, he had never seen such powerful tactics and cavalry. In other words, there were not many cavalry battles in this era, and the arms were very single. The equipment and technology of the Western Zhou Dynasty all came from a
Obtained through special means, it can be said that it is a product that transcends the times. In the past, it was able to win consecutive battles without losing because of the power and deterrence of the new weapons. But when it comes to the combat experience of commanding these novel weapons, it is completely blank.
All, perhaps, is just a blind superstition that this equipment "looks" powerful.
No matter how good the equipment and troops are, without corresponding tactics, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. In the past, it was OK to bully those who were poorly equipped and ignorant of the goods. But now that they encountered the hard idea of the merchant army, they were immediately suppressed and almost breathless.
.
Speaking of which, it is true that the Shang army was bullying the Zhou army. Even if Jiang Ziya had rich command experience, he was helpless in the face of the almost invincible cavalry tactics of the cold weapon era. If heavy cavalry is a powerful weapon that transcends the times,
Then the horse archers and the "Parthian Archery" are a step beyond the high-end goods. Moreover, the bows and arrows of this group of horse archers have been specially modified. The strong bow power and the armor-breaking ability of the arrow clusters are even higher than
The original Mongolian bow cavalry.
Seeing the heavily armored cavalry that had been piled up with a lot of money falling down one by one, Jiang Ziya was anxious, but he was helpless and had to quickly order the entire army to retreat to avoid greater losses and casualties.
At this time, the morale of the Zhou army, which suffered continuous blows, dropped suddenly, especially the heavy armored cavalry at the front. The defense that they had always been proud of was like a torrent in front of the enemy, and Kong, despite his powerful impact, could not get close to the opponent.
, coupled with the continuous oppressive blows from the arrow rain, the heavy cavalry sadly felt that not only their physical defenses, but also their spirits were about to collapse.
As soon as Jiang Ziya ordered to retreat, the retreating merchant army surrounded them again, still firing arrows from a distance, and the infantry behind also began to charge across the line. The Zhou army was defeated like a mountain, and the number of people who were trampled to death by their own heavy cavalry reached an astonishing level.
Number. Under the pursuit of the merchant army, they were defeated and returned.
Wen Zhong calculated that the arrows of the cavalry were about to be exhausted, so he did not pursue them and returned to Jiming Mountain. The merchant army won an unprecedented victory with minimal damage, and their morale was high. The four generals of the Demon family confronted Yu Hua.
Zhong Pei was so impressed that Wen Zhong admired Zhang Zixing, the founder of the cavalry. These cavalry had been secretly trained a few years ago. Many of the elite soldiers were sharpshooters selected from the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
, now I tried it in actual combat, and it really shined.
In the Zhou camp, Ji Fa listened to Jiang Ziya's apology with a livid face. He never thought that one of his biggest secret weapons, the heavy armored cavalry with the largest investment in money, would actually suffer such heavy losses. If he was killed by several
Surrounded by twice as many enemies, they fought hard and were defeated. However, the enemy's body was even touched and they were easily shot from a distance. It was a total defeat.
The Western Zhou Dynasty's expedition to the Shang Dynasty was originally based on unknown forces, but now the most important first battle suffered a disastrous defeat. Naturally, the morale was extremely low. The generals were also dejected and did not dare to look directly at Ji Fa. There was silence in the tent for a while.
Ji Fa looked at Jiang Ziya who lowered his head and said nothing, wishing he could chop off his head with a sword, but he also knew that this old guy had a big backer, and he really had too many things he needed to rely on. So now he can only
Comfort, not punishment.
Ji Fa forced himself to suppress the annoyance and anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Father, there is no need to blame yourself. The army is unpredictable, and victory or defeat is unpredictable. No one could have imagined that the enemy could be so skilled in bowing and riding.
.This is just a new defeat for our army. How should we face the enemy next?"
Jiang Ziya said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for forgiving me. In my opinion, I heard that there are many moral people under the command of the Grand Master, so today Wu Ji was captured by Na Yu Hua. And the four generals of the Demon Family are also famous for their magic skills.
He is very proficient, and he made great contributions when the Great Shang conquered the Eastern Yi and the Quanrong in the west. Although our army is brave, it cannot compete with the Taoist warriors. The only way for me now is to go to a few famous mountains.
, asking for help from all my colleagues.”
Ji Fa's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of the magical fairy fight that rescued the food shortage last time: "I'm bothering my dear father to run around."
Jiang Ziya said goodbye to Ji Fa, got on Sibuxiang, and flew away. At this time, the soldiers came to report: "General Luojia, the food supervisor, has arrived to transport food. He is waiting for orders outside the tent."
Ji Fa's heart moved and he said: "Xuanluojia goes into the tent and pays the order, and the other generals disperse to rest."
After receiving the order, all the generals dispersed. Luojia entered the tent and saluted, saying: "Today I came to supervise the food supply. I heard that our army was defeated. I don't know what good plan the king has."
Ji Fa dismissed his followers and said to Luo Jia in a pleasant tone: "General Luo, Hong Jin sent people to assassinate the lonely king in the past. Fortunately, the general and a group of strange men took action to save the lonely people from disaster, and secretly assisted Wucheng King Huang Feihu to defeat Hong.
Jin. Now I heard that the grand master came with his troops, and there are many moral people under his command. I wonder if the general can relieve my worries?"
Luo Jia pretended to be deep in thought and said: "Prime Minister Lu is a scholar from Kunlun. How can he be defeated so easily? If even Prime Minister Lu cannot defeat me, I will not be able to defeat him."
Ji Fa heard the condescension in his words and showed embarrassment, saying: "I heard that the Grand Master is very good, and the Prime Minister has gone out to seek help from his colleagues. It's not that the lonely king doesn't trust the general. It's just because the Prime Minister is explaining the teachings.
The general is from the Western religion. When the emperor was marching westward, he heard that the two religions were at odds with each other. I was deeply afraid of a conflict, so I asked the general to supervise the grain in the rear. The general should understand my painstaking efforts."
"Your Majesty, you don't know. During the Western Expedition, there was indeed a grudge between our teaching and the Chan teaching. But now both sides have a tacit understanding and we should work together to fight against the Jie Jiao. In the past, the Jie Jiao's Yellow River Formation trapped my fellow sect and forged a deep hatred. Now, the Grand Master
When I heard that Zhongnai intercepted the sect of Jin Ling Shen Shen, I should summon my fellow sect members as soon as possible to get revenge on him. However, my sect once helped the dog soldiers, so it is not suitable to appear in public..."
Ji Fa hurriedly said: "General, don't worry. Although your teaching is not publicly known, it has been of great help to me, no less than the Prime Minister. I should keep it in mind, and I will be rewarded in the future."
Luo Jia nodded with satisfaction and hurriedly excused himself to Ji Fa, presumably to gather his colleagues. Ji Fa looked at Luo Jia's retreating figure with a strange look in his eyes, as if his confidence had returned a lot.
In the Jinjiling commercial camp, the merchant army who had won a great victory looked red-faced and their morale was high.
In the main tent, Hong Jin said to Master Wen: "Master Wen is so powerful today that he has won a great victory. Why not take advantage of the enemy's low morale and rob Zhou's camp at night, and discipline him without leaving any trace of his armor behind!"
Wen Zhong muttered: "The scouts have come to report that the area around Zhou's camp is heavily defended. Nine layers of deer antlers are deployed, and there are many wooden fences and barriers. This is especially disadvantageous for the archers and cavalry troops. If we clear them one by one, it may delay the fighter's opportunity and alert the enemy."
At this time, Yu Hua entered the tent and reported: "Master, General Han Rong, the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, sent his second son Han Sheng and Han Bian to come with rare treasures to help. They have arrived outside the tent."
Wen Zhong asked: "You have been a general at Sishui Pass for many years. Do you know the abilities of Han Rong's two sons? What is that rare treasure?"
Yu Hua thought for a while and replied: "These two sons have little contact with the last general. I heard that their martial arts are ordinary, but they are loyal and upright, but I don't know if they have any special powers or rare treasures."
Wen Zhong ordered the sergeant to pass the message to Han Sheng, and Han Bian came in. The two generals came in to see the ceremony. Wen Zhong saw that the appearance and temperament of these two people were ordinary, and they did not look like people with profound morals. He asked: "Two generals, I don't know what special treasures there are, but
Destroy the enemy army?"
Han Sheng said: "Reporting to the Grand Master, my two brothers once worshiped under the sect of Yiren Dharma and were given a secret treasure called the 'Ten Thousand Blades Chariot'. They are here to help the Grand Master defeat Ji Fa's traitor."
When Wen Zhong heard the name of Fajie, he said happily: "It turns out that the two generals are from Feimen, a Taoist friend of Fajie. I wonder what kind of treasure the Wanblade Chariot is? Can you take it out and see it?"
"Grand Master, please look, this is the Wanbian chariot." Han Bian took out something, a windmill made of paper: there was a turntable in the middle, with one hand holding a pole in the middle, pushing around like a flying turntable;
There are four flags with symbols and seals on them, as well as the four characters "earth, water, fire and wind".
Is this also called a strange treasure? The generals in the camp looked at each other, and Mo Liqing couldn't help but said: "General Han Bian, this is just a child's plaything, how can we defeat the enemy and win?"
Han Sheng and Han Bian replied: "If you are brave, please invite the Grand Master and other generals to come out of the camp to have a look at the power of this treasure."
Wen Zhong also heard about the power of Dharma Precepts, so he went out to the tent with other generals to see what the mystery of this thousand-edged chariot was.
The two Han Sheng brothers were holding swords with their hair loose, and they were muttering something. They saw clouds and mist rising suddenly, a cold wind blowing, flames rising into the sky, and millions of blades flying in the air. The generals were all startled, and Wen Zhong laughed loudly: "
"Two generals, it is really a treasure. I wonder how many cars there are?"
Han Sheng replied: "There are three thousand chariots here. Only the three thousand elite soldiers who came with me can defeat hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers."
Moli Qing praised: "Two generals, please forgive me for my ignorance. This treasure is very powerful. If you look at the power of a single weapon, it is far less than my magic weapon Qingyun Sword. If three thousand are used together, it will be infinitely powerful and the attack range is extremely wide."
. Even if a few extraordinary people can escape, even if there are a hundred thousand mortals, they will only be useless. What is even more mysterious is that this treasure does not seem to consume any mana, and ordinary soldiers can also control it. With this thousand-edged chariot,
Hands, why worry about Ji's hair not breaking!"
Hong Jin sighed: "If we can clear the obstacles of the deer antlers in Zhou's camp and attack Ji Fa with this ten thousand blade chariot, we will definitely be able to achieve success in a single battle!"
Han Sheng said: "The antlers matter is not difficult. My Wanbian chariot is not afraid of roadblocks, but it moves a little slowly. Besides, when my brother came this time, he also brought a fierce general Wu who came to Sishui Pass to join the army.
Culture, with this person here, can easily remove obstacles along the way."
Wen Zhong hurriedly asked Han Sheng to bring the fierce general. He saw that Wu Wenhua was several feet tall, like a giant King Kong. He could stand for half a day and was so majestic. According to Han Sheng's introduction, Wu Wenhua was extremely powerful and could land on land.
Going on a boat, having a meal of an ox, and a stick of wood in your hand are the nemesis of deer antlers and other things.
Hearing that the Grand Master was very happy, he immediately held a banquet and invited all the generals to have a hearty meal and wait for the night to come.
Late at night, Wu Wenhua was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. When he came to the gate of Zhou Yingyuan, he showed off his strange strength and used a huge spatula in his hand to easily push aside the nine layers of antlers, the square wooden fence, and the shields were swept across both sides at will.
As soon as Sergeant Zhou Ying discovered the clue, Hong Jin, Yu Hua and Han Sheng were behind Wu Wenhua, and Han Bian was already in front of him. Han Sheng waved his gun, and 30 million bladed chariots came out to kill the generals, like wind and fire, what?
When he resisted, he saw a thousand-edged chariot rolling towards him, accompanied by wind and fire.
This ten thousand-edged chariot was already very lethal, but it was night, so how could the Zhou army defend it? Three thousand chariot soldiers rushed into the camp gate, only to see dark clouds, wind and fire, and the blades were falling, like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking.
Wherever the blade struck, the Zhou army's blood flowed into rivers, corpses were everywhere, horses trampled on horses, people trampled on people, and they were in chaos. Wu Wenhua also used his supernatural power to kill at will, and he was invincible wherever he went.
Yu Hua led a group of horse archers and shot at the crowd, killing countless people. Ji Fa woke up from his dream, and under the protection of Mao Gongsui, Ji Dan and other generals, got on Xiaoyao horse and fled away with all his strength. Yu Hua's sharp eyes saw him
Someone seemed to be supporting Zhou Jun's main camp and escaped. He quickly chased the golden-eyed beast and said loudly: "Don't leave, Ji Fa!"
Ji Fa was so frightened that he lost his mind and drove his horse forward. Mao Gong then asked Ji Dan to protect King Wu and went ahead with his spear. Yu Hua was eager to make a contribution and did not bother with Mao Gong Sui. He took out the soul-killing flag, took Mao Gong Sui out of thin air and pointed it behind him.
The bow cavalry threw it away, and he urged the golden-eyed beast to chase Ji Fa away.
Seeing Yu Hua approaching, Ji Dan brandished his sword and risked his life to kill him. He wanted to buy time for Brother Wang to escape. Ji Fa secretly complained and shouted: "Who will protect the king's carriage!"
Yu Hua was about to capture Ji Dan with the soul-killing banner, when suddenly a golden light flashed and a man stood in front of him. Visible in the light of the fire was a strong man. The man shouted: "With our army Da Li here, who can
