There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 914: Unparalleled Blessings Bring Unparalleled Disasters
The lobby of the government office has been converted into a temporary commander's residence. Teng Tianzhi is wearing a silk gown and a layer of leather armor. He has a fine soft-limb head and a jade ruyi in his hand. He keeps scratching his back.
This is the sequelae of long-term use of Wushi San. Because I have fever and sweat too much, I am prone to fleas, and my whole body is extremely itchy, so I can only wear a wide robe and keep it with me when I want it. It is not entirely to pretend to be a high-end scholar.
Son.
Liu Yu was dressed in armor and stood first on the left below. Although he was just a military leader, because of his world-famous reputation and his well-known relationship with the Xie family, after Zhang Yuan left,
Because he had to occupy this position, he frowned deeply and looked at the Wang brothers kneeling in the hall.
Wang Rui and Wang Yi had fireworks on their faces, their bodies were covered with scars, bloodstains everywhere, and their helmets were crooked and cracked. Wang Rui, who was slightly older, said in a deep voice: "That's how it was in the Battle of Xingtang. Zhai Zhen, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, fought under Murong
Under the attack of Feng, the abandoned army fled first. The army lost its organization and command, and collapsed without a fight. Forty or fifty thousand people were vying to enter the six or seven village gates, trampling on each other. In addition, the Yan army behind them killed them with bows and arrows.
As high as sixty-seven out of ten.”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Where is General Zhang, what are his losses?"
Wang Yi looked indignant, raised his head, and said seriously: "It's his fault. Originally, he volunteered to send troops to resist the Yan army's cavalry raid, but instead he left the formation door wide open and let Murong Feng rush in, until
In front of Zhai Zhen, even his troops blocked Ding Ling's troops and could not move forward."
Teng Tianzhi's face darkened and he straightened up: "Don't talk nonsense. General Zhang is a general of the imperial court, and you cannot slander him casually! The Yan army's cavalry assault is inherently difficult to resist. Lure the enemy into the formation and wait for it to slow down before attacking."
To destroy them, this is a conventional method of warfare, you know it! Then Zhai Zhen is incompetent and cowardly, what does he have to do with General Zhang?"
Wang Yi said unconvinced: "But after this battle, Ding Ling's army lost sixty-seven percent, but General Zhang suffered almost no losses. He was the only one who could bring the entire army out of the battlefield, and the Yan army did not pursue it."
, is this also a coincidence?”
Teng Tianzhi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Doesn't that mean that General Zhang is running the army well and commanding it properly? Ding Ling's people are in disarray, and they can't deal with emergencies, but our Jin Iron Army is well-trained.
We can advance and retreat freely. The target of the Yan army is the Zhai brothers, not our Jin army, so it is logical for our army to retreat calmly."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Where has General Zhang retreated to now? What is the situation at Ding Ling's place?"
Wang Rui replied: "General Zhang led his troops south and crossed the Yellow River towards Qingzhou. After Ding Ling's defeat, internal strife broke out. Zhai Zhen was killed by Xian Yuqi, the leader of the Xianyu tribe who suffered heavy losses, but Xianyuqi could not convince the crowd.
, Zhai Zhen’s younger brother Zhai Cheng led his subordinates who were loyal to him and killed him in turn. Now Ding Ling’s army still has more than 10,000 troops, and Feng Zhai became the leader, but his vitality has been severely damaged and he can no longer pose a threat to the Yan army.”
Liu Yu's eyes were bright and he looked directly at Wang Rui: "Did you say that during this battle, when Murong Feng rushed into the formation, he was leading cavalry with both men and horses?"
Wang Rui said seriously: "Yes, we have seen with our own eyes that both the knights and the war horses are covered in thick armor or iron armor. Even the deputy horses accompanying the cavalry in the assault are also covered in armor. Most of our army's arrows cannot
It turns out that Murong Feng was hit by at least twenty arrows, but he is still able to move freely."
Liu Yu murmured: "No, this is a uniform of armor and cavalry. It seems that the Yan army is hiding its strength."
Teng Tian looked at Liu Yu with a puzzled face: "Liu Junzhu, what are you talking about?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The armor and the cavalry are both equipped, which means that both men and horses are wearing heavy armor, which cannot be penetrated by arrows and cannot be broken by swords. They are rampaging on the battlefield and are almost unstoppable. When Ran Wei rose, Ran Min's men
The infantry swept across the Central Plains, but they encountered the Murong family's armor and cavalry, and were still unable to resist. Later, General Huan Wen sent troops to the Northern Expedition with the ambition of sweeping Hebei, but he was defeated by the Murong family's armor and cavalry.
He almost lost his life on the bank of the Yellow River. Since Murong Chui raised his troops, he has never dispatched this kind of iron cavalry, but today he used it to deal with Ding Ling. I am afraid that he has been hiding his strength!"
Teng Tianzhi shook his head: "From what the Wang brothers said, it's only a few hundred horses, so it's not a big problem."
Liu Yu shook his head and frowned: "They only sent out a few hundred cavalry, not just a few hundred cavalry, and even the horses were wearing armor and charging into the battle, which shows that they have a surplus of armored cavalry. In my estimation, they can't be worth less than ten thousand."
ride."
Teng Tianzhi opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Wanqi? How can there be so many?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Murong Chui rarely used cavalry in the past few years. It seems that he has been hiding his strength. The load-bearing, assault, and tactics of the armored cavalry are completely different from those of ordinary cavalry. It requires many years of training.
At that time, it was precisely because the Murong family's armaments were depleted after taking control of the Central Plains that the armored cavalry uniform gradually disappeared. Now that Murong Chui has such assault cavalry, they are obviously large-scale and large in number. Our enemies are far more powerful than imagined.
The one in it must be powerful and terrifying!"
Liu Yuyue said, his tone getting heavier and heavier. He raised his head and looked directly at Teng Tianzhi: "We should notify Liu Yingyang and ask him to withdraw his troops immediately and move closer to Yecheng. Try to avoid encounters with the enemy in the wild and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
, and keep playing steadily.”
Teng Tianzhi shook his head: "Master Liu, I'm afraid it's too late. Just when you were rescuing the Wang brothers, I just received a military report from the front line, saying that Murong Chui abandoned his helmet and armor along the way when he retreated.
The soldiers fled in large numbers. When they were in the new city, there were still 70,000 people. In just two days, only more than 30,000 people were left. Liu Yingyang didn't even enter Yecheng and directly led his army to pursue Murong Chui."
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he strode forward: "What? When did this happen?"
He Wuji's voice rang outside the palace: "It happened half a day ago, Zhinu."
Liu Yu turned around and looked at He Wuji who was walking into the hall: "Wuji, why are you here?"
Teng Tianzhi said: "He Junzhu was ordered to bring Fu Pi's army to Fangtou for food. He also came to Liyang to have a look. It was also he who reported Liu Yingyang's military situation to me."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Wuji, Liu Yingyang is very dangerous now. Since Murong Chui has such a powerful army and can defeat Ding Ling's army in one fell swoop, his troops will never be as weak as they seem.
, he is obviously luring the enemy, Liu Yingyang is stepping into his trap, and the entire army is in danger of destruction!"
