The clash of arms and iron horses, arrows like locusts, the sound of drums, the sound of wind, the sound of horse hoofs, and the sound of horns are all intertwined together, like a battle between life and death, making both sides completely forget themselves in the fight between life and death.
"Speed up, speed up, don't aim, don't stop, don't get into trouble with them!" the centurions shouted wildly.
"Go forward, go forward at full speed, rush directly into Juyong City, don't get entangled with them!" The military princes also shouted wildly.
The language they used was completely different, and their goals were completely opposite, but their final words were exactly the same. The Xianbei people tried to stop and destroy the enemy in front of them at the minimum cost, while the Han army was bent on breaking into the encirclement.
What can you do if you break in?
Can you save someone?
Can the situation be changed?
No one dares to give a definite answer. Even the lowest-level soldiers are not completely ignorant of the situation in Juyong City. If they are asked to give an answer, they will undoubtedly be completely negative.
But even so, they still have to break in. As General Shan said, we can't live together, but we can die together!
In this way, countless Han troops and Xianbei herdsmen fought together.
Shan Jing rushed to the front at the beginning, just after he said those words to boost morale before the war, but soon he found that he was caught in the flow of people. Just rushing towards him, he had completely
I lost my way and could only rely on Zou Dan's guidance to keep up.
"Forward!" The sky full of feather arrows circled around him, and several feather arrows penetrated the iron armor, but he felt no pain, and his eyes were full of tears. He only felt that the north wind was making him unable to breathe, and every breath was extremely difficult.
.
Hu Qi rushed over from the diagonal thrust. Normally, he would have loudly reminded that the front army could no longer hold on anymore and that it was necessary to make up for the lost combat power as soon as possible. It was his duty as a deputy general to send the reserve team up.
. But at this moment, he just waved his sword, knocked a Hu Qi off his horse, and then rushed towards the next opponent with a loud shout.
In this battle, there is no such thing as the front army and the rear army. Facing an enemy that is more than ten times his own, he just wants to kill him happily and lie drunk on the battlefield.
The Youzhou frontier army that was once famous throughout the world was finished. Most of the responsibility lies with me. If I hadn't used my familiarity with the lord's temperament and kept using Liu Yu to stimulate the lord, the calm situation in northern Xinjiang would not have been broken so quickly.
Even if it was broken, had it not been for his advice, the Lord would not have left the Qingzhou Allied Forces and gone north alone, nor would he have ended up in the situation he is in today.
Death to atone?
No, it's not! Death is very simple, but how can I make up for such a heinous crime with my mere life?
General Fu Jie died, right in front of his own horse. A horseman's scimitar hit him in the waist. Blood spurted out like a waterfall from the wound. Once, I hated him so much, because he went to
He was the most enthusiastic person to go to Gaotang, and he spared no effort to publicize it every time he came back.
When I scolded him for cheating, I never dreamed that today, the other party would die together without hesitation. The moment he died in battle, he was so generous and heroic. Before he was attacked by Hu Qi, the horse in his hand
Hey, more than ten lives have been accumulated!
Then there was the general Feng Yi. He used his body to block Zou Dan's spear. In fact, the relationship between the two was not very good. They once fought fiercely for the position of Anping Prefect, until Feng Yi discovered that Gaotang Geng, who was on duty in the Bohai Sea, had left Gaotang.
Recently, after I could often buy good wine, the dispute came to an end. But now, the two sides are fighting side by side, with no barriers at all, sharing life and death.
There are many more…
Familiar faces disappeared in front of me one after another, the unyielding roars were still heard, and the single eye turned blood red.
"Come on, come for your Grandpa Shan! Without Grandpa Shan, how could you be as arrogant as you are today? You bastards, now is the time for you to repay your kindness. Come on, come and chop at this place!" He accelerated the speed of his war horse.
To the extreme, he ran headlong into the Hu Qi formation.
The light of the sword flickered. He only attacked but not defended. He waved the sword and chopped wildly in all directions. At first, there were some Hu riders who were arrogant and brave and fought with him desperately. But after he chopped down three or four riders in succession, even these desperadoes became frightened.
.
He is afraid of those who are stunned, and he is afraid of those who are desperate for his life. Now Shan Jing is a lunatic who is desperate for his life. The few cavalrymen who were cut down by him were not helpless to fight back. At least three of them left scars on Shan Jing's body.
There were wounds, and one of the knives even hit his chest, almost slicing his throat.
But Shan Jing didn't even lower his head, he just waved his sword, shouted for a fierce battle, and cut a bloody path.
The Han army cheered loudly and invaded the enemy's position through the gap he opened in a desperate move. At this moment, after the Hebei War, the barriers due to political opinions were finally completely eliminated, and the Youzhou army was united like never before, just like Gongsun Zan at first
When your men form an army.
"Are all the Han troops so unafraid of death?" Although Kuitou did not come to the battle in person, but had been watching the battle from a distance, he was still shocked by the bravery of Shan Jing and the Han soldiers.
This was not the first time he had faced Shanjing's reinforcements. The same rescue operation had been carried out twice before.
For the first time, Shan Jing used a strategy. He used a large force to advance as a whole division. After attracting Hu Qi's attention, a surprise force emerged. Hundreds of dead soldiers broke into the weak area of the encirclement and rushed to Juyong City.
Under the city wall, he made contact with Gongsun Zan.
Of course, this does not mean that the Han army won. After all, making contact cannot be regarded as a successful breakthrough. But the leader was shocked after all. When he became angry and prepared to launch a siege, Shan Jing quickly withdrew from the battle.
The group made Kuitou angry and unable to vent his anger.
It wasn't until Xu You came up with a poisonous plan, targeting Shan Jingxin's weakness, attacking the city with all his strength, and ambushing the Xianbei cavalry on the road, that he finally regained his position.
The decisive factor in these two battles was the strategy of both sides. The leader believed that Shan Jing's army was well-organized and could not lose even with a small number of enemies, but that was all. He did not think that Shan Jing and Zou Dan had any chance.
Nothing difficult to deal with.
As far as his experience is concerned, the Han army's array is indeed powerful. Once the Han army forms a formation, it will be difficult to attack from the front without three to five times the strength. This is something that the grassland people cannot compare with.
However, the Han army's array is not without its weaknesses. As long as there are enough troops, can move fast enough, outflank and attack the flanks and rear, the weakness of the Han array's poor turnover can be exploited, just like today's battle. Only Qian
Only a careless fool like Man would always think about a head-on confrontation with the Han army, and he deserved to end up dead without any body parts.
During the battle, his strategy was very effective. Based on the principle of showing leniency to the enemy, he mobilized 30,000 cavalry to attack the Han army, which numbered less than 10,000 and was mainly infantry, from all directions.
The Han army's fish scale formation soon fell into pieces.
Hu Qi did not make any breakthroughs, but only took advantage of the numerical advantage to engage in battles alternately. The best formation to deal with this kind of tactics was not the offensive fish scale formation, but the defensive square formation.
In this situation, it is necessary to attack forward and maintain the array. It is inherently difficult. Even Yu Jin, who has extremely high command, can only attack slowly and steadily in this situation, first stabilize the position, and then find a way to advance.
.Single note, Zou Dan’s commanding ability is far inferior to Yu Jin, so how can he stabilize the battle?
The command was chaotic. But the Fish Scale Formation, which had not yet become defeated, was actually a so-called swarm of swarms. For both sides, it was a melee.
For Hu Qi, this is the most favorable situation. They have more soldiers and are not organized in the first place. Small-scale combat is their specialty.
When they saw how the battle situation had evolved to this point, the leader and the other adults were already relieved. They were ready to watch the warriors tearing their prey to pieces like a pack of wolves, chewing until not even the bones and dregs were left. As a result, what they saw was...
It was a scene that shocked them extremely. The Han army, which had lost its formation, did not collapse. Instead, it used desperate tactics like a desperado to drive Hu Qi's battle line back step by step.
There were obviously less than ten thousand people. Facing a superior enemy force, they lost their formation and suffered heavy casualties. There were obviously so many unfavorable factors that could lead to defeat, but the Han army did not even have a single deserter. Everyone was struggling to move forward.
, would rather die together with the opponent than run away to the rear where there are no enemies.
The expressions on the faces of all the lords became extremely ugly. Those who were killed, injured, and wailing on the front line were all their sons.
"Everyone, please think carefully. This is the last elite of the Youzhou frontier army. Are you willing to lead an army of 100,000 to besiege them at this moment, or do you want to wait until the future and face them alone by their respective tribes? Don't look at these people.
They are all infantry, but Gongsun Zan is just using them because of his tightness. If there are enough horses and a little training, these people can be very good cavalry."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu You calmly twirled his beard, sneered, and reminded: "Although the Yulin Army is powerful, that army is the main force of the Qingzhou Army. The situation in the Central Plains is changing rapidly.
It is impossible for Wang Yu to spend too much time in Northern Xinjiang. As long as Gongsun Zan is dealt with, and the Qingzhou army returns to the south, and competes with other princes for the Central Plains, Youzhou, and even Jizhou, why not just let him do whatever he wants?"
His tone was extremely provocative. The eyes of the leaders who were feeling distressed just now suddenly changed. Instead of feeling distressed about the loss, they revealed a look of deep longing and greed. Only Murong Feng still frowned: "I heard, Piao
It only took about two years for the cavalry army to become an army..."
"Uh." Xu You's smile suddenly faltered.
Murong Feng's subtext was obviously saying: Even if Gongsun Zan's frontier army was completely destroyed, as long as Wang Yu expanded his army again and left a general to guard Youzhou, he might not be much worse than Gongsun Zan.
Yu Jin completely annihilated Qian Man in the battle of Ma Ti Liang, which frightened all the Xianbei leaders. The leader who screamed the most fiercely and was reluctant to retreat to the grassland now lost his original majesty.
"The new army is somewhat different after all..." Xu You stumbled and came up with an excuse: "Besides, by leaving one general behind, he diluted his strength in the fight for the Central Plains. This can be considered a weakening of him. In short...
…”
Telling these reasons to the famous people in the Central Plains might arouse some support, but how could the Hu people know so much? They only knew that the good life they originally expected was ruined. After fighting this battle, going south in the future would still cost their lives.
Fight. Moreover, there was Zhao Zilong outside the Great Wall, who killed the old and weak who stayed in Danhan Mountain until they were bloody. This battle... No matter how you think about it, the gain outweighs the loss!
Even though Xu You was eloquent, everyone's mood still couldn't rise. Xu You could only sigh helplessly: "I only regret that the little thief Wang suddenly changed his gender, otherwise, go to this dragon, the hussar army and those fish and shrimps"
It’s nothing to be afraid of anymore.”
"Who says it's not the case?" The leaders felt sad and nodded, but no one continued to pay attention to the ongoing fierce battle.
In fact, there was really nothing to pay attention to in that battle. The desperate struggle led by Shan Jing pushed the front hundreds of steps forward, but every step had to pay a considerable price. This road became a veritable road.
Bloody road.
But even such a rapid advance could not change the reality that he could not get close to the city wall.
The number of the Zahu army that attacked the city was more than 40,000, and they were all direct descendants or vassals of the Xian Yu family. Many of them had served in the county soldiers and border troops. These people were the backbone of the troops formed, and their combat and organizational strength were
They are not inferior to the ordinary soldiers of Shan Jingjun.
After breaking through the encirclement of the Hu people, the reinforcements had to face a phalanx of ten thousand people led by Xian Yuyin.
Shan Jing smiled bitterly and turned around to see that Zou Dan was covered in blood just like him. The well-made fish scale armor was in tatters and could barely hang on his body. He knew that was the end of it.
Even without Hu Qi besieging them on both wings, it would be difficult for their remnants of troops to break through Xian Yuyin's blockade. Even if he made a breakthrough, there were still Xian Yufu's 30,000 troops behind him. In any case, he would not be able to achieve his final wish.
"Brother Zou..." His lips moved and his voice was obscure.
"Young mother-in-law, kill one to earn money, kill two to earn, I chopped off thirteen dog heads with my own hands today, what else is there to regret? My lord, doesn't he often say, shrouding corpses in horse leather is the destination of our generation of warriors, today
Let’s live and die together!”
"Okay, live and die together!" The anger stuck in his throat was finally released. Shan Jing raised the Huanshou knife in his hand again. The knife was already mottled, full of gaps and bloodstains. Only
The blade is still as sharp as before.
"Play the drum to cheer for the soldiers!" At the top of the city, Gongsun Zan shouted with tears in his eyes: "Don't beat the wrong drum beat!"
"Lord?" Guan Jing was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Yangu, Yi Shuihan!" Gongsun Zan replied without hesitation.
There are also categories of war drums. It is not just a matter of banging the drumsticks to boost morale. Different rhythms will sound different. Yangu is a military music handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its biggest feature is its generous and tragic meaning.
Gongsun Zan was not willing to go alone, so Zou Dan came to rescue him, but he was not a mother-in-law. Since he came, he would live and die together. Therefore, Yi came with the most tragic drum beat of Yangu and Jing Ke's intention to assassinate Qin.
Shui Han responds to his subordinates’ feelings of life and death.
"Dong! Dong!" The drummer threw his coat on the ground, picked up the drumstick, and shouted loudly every time he struck it, putting all his strength into each blow.
The sound of drums is like the steps of a giant, echoing in a uniform rhythm, like the silhouette of a strong man crossing the river. There is indescribable generosity in every footprint, and heroism and determination in every note.
The north wind is fierce, the sword is crazy, the man is looking at the Big Dipper, and the sound is one after another, like a shocking wave, one wave after another, rushing straight up from the top of the city, overcoming the insurmountable barrier, and with
The comrades shouting for a fierce battle merged together.
"This drum beat seems..." Gongsun Zan hesitated and did not answer. Years of military experience told him that there was something wrong with the rhythm of the drum beat. Civil servants like Guan Jing would not understand the rhythm of the military drum, and the Hu people liked to use horns to play drums.
There is not so much research, and horn horns are mainly used in daily battles. Could it be...
"Ah!" He suddenly raised his head and looked as hard as he could. The scene he saw made him unable to stop himself from exclaiming in surprise.
To the southeast, where Zou Dan just appeared in Shanjing, smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and faintly exciting drum beats could be heard. It was the drum beat under the smoke that destroyed the drum beat at the top of the city!
Reinforcements!
Another reinforcement is arriving one after another!
