On the nameless grassland of Pingcheng, war drums roared and trumpets were majestic. Two majestic armies will fight to the death today!
Xu Wei led his personal guards to the center of the army, with 3,000 soldiers ready to go!
Xu Wei pulled out his long sword and said loudly to these Mo Dao soldiers: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. You have the best armor in Mayi, the sharpest Mo Dao, and the best treatment. My only request for you is
Kill any enemy you encounter!"
The soldiers looked at Xu Wei and shouted excitedly: "Kill, kill, kill!"
"How come it's a decisive battle!" Xu Wei felt a little melancholy in his heart. The war really didn't go according to his expectations! He originally wanted to fight a defensive counterattack, so that the casualties would be smaller, but he himself was affected by the war.
Pushed by the situation, it actually turned into a decisive battle. All the one-step and three-step strategies were indeed the literati’s lustful intentions!
Now he only hopes that the Xianbei people will suffer heavy casualties in this battle, so that they will give up the idea of invading Mayi!
Xu Wei's 100,000-strong army took the Modao team as the central formation, with pikemen on both sides, crossbowmen at the back, and cavalry on both wings for protection.
This is what Wang Ge and his staff are doing in a small-scale drill. This is the most advantageous formation to deal with the cavalry group. Every drill can cause huge damage to the cavalry group. Of course, the Mo Dao team can be in the middle of the small-scale drill, but now it is more than a dozen
In a war involving tens of thousands of people, 3,000 troops alone cannot sustain the Chinese army, and they can only be supported by pikemen.
In fact, Xu Wei and the others didn't know that the Mo Dao tactics they used were the same as the Mo Dao tactics used by the Tang Dynasty a thousand years later. The Tang army relied on this simple Mo Dao tactic to defeat the Turks.
Calling mother, they all hugged Li Shimin's thigh and recognized him as the Khan of Heaven!
Brothers Duan Peng and Duan Yun nervously held the Mo Dao in their hands. This was their first time on the battlefield. Once they entered the battlefield, there was a decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, and they had to face 70,000 Xianbei cavalry.
, their nervous bodies were almost stiff.
Chief Bao Yu comforted them and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just swing the sword as usual during training!"
Duan Peng showed an ugly smile and said: "Sir, I don't remember anything now!"
Seeing their nervous expressions, Chief Bao Yu patted them both and said, "Don't think about anything, just follow my movements!"
At this time, a voice shouted: "Mo Dao Team, advance seven steps!"
"Listen to the command, walk in unison, stand still!"
Chief Bao Yu walked forward, and the soldiers around him started walking almost at the same time. This group of people and horses seemed to be moving by one person, zooming into a Modao battalion of 3,000 people. This battalion started and stopped at the same time.
, three thousand people seemed to be acting alone, and it seemed as if these three thousand people were supposed to be in this position!
Following the actions of Modao Camp, a murderous atmosphere rushed towards our faces on the battlefield!
On the other side of the battlefield, Lüri Demo was surprised when he saw Modao Camp's actions: "This is what the Han people say in the art of war: 'It's as fast as a forest, it's as fast as the wind, it's aggressive as fire, and it's as motionless as a mountain!' I always thought this was just an exaggeration by the Han people.
, I didn’t expect to see such an army today!”
Although Lüri was from Xianbei, he was proficient in Chinese writing and language. He even collected a lot of Han books, including books on the art of war. He also had a Han teacher who taught him Han knowledge.
Therefore, although Lüri Deyan was not a great Confucian, he was also a polymath who was proficient in Han culture.
Among the senior officials of the Xianbei people, Lüri deduction is not an exception. Basically, the senior officials of the Xianbei people are like this. After all, the Han Dynasty is the only beacon in this era. Even if you want to learn the art of war, you must understand the writing of the Han Dynasty.
Murong Peng worriedly said: "Although this Lei Gong is as timid as a mouse, the soldiers he trained are really elite. No wonder he can escape the encirclement and suppression of the Han army. It would be better if this army is the only one. If the soldiers on the opposite side are all
If this happens, we will be in danger!"
Tuoba Mo said solemnly: "Now that we're here, what's the point of talking about it? If the cavalry rushes forward, it will be clear whether we win or lose. We can't be scared away just because of Thunder Lord's action. Then
We won’t become a joke on the grassland!”
Luri Deduction looked at the central formation and encouraged Xu Weidao: "Thunder Lord is here. Our tactic with the highest chance of winning is to break through the central battalion and kill Thunder Lord. In this way, Thunder Lord's subordinates will naturally be confused, and we can win in chaos! It's just that
Looking at a battalion of men and horses covered in iron armor, they must be Thunder Lord’s elite, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to use them to protect himself!”
Murong Peng said: "I will lead my men to kill Lei Gong. You can help contain Lei Gong's other troops and don't let them support Lei Gong!"
Luri deduced: "I should lead my men to kill Thunder Lord's left wing, Tuoba Mo will lead people to kill Thunder Lord's right wing, and you can stay here with 30,000 troops. Seeing that we have entangled Thunder Lord's left and right wings, you
Lead 30,000 warriors to attack the center of Thunder Lord and kill him on the battlefield!"
This is the simplest bullhorn tactic! It has been used for thousands of years and is still not outdated even in the Ming Dynasty.
Then he looked at He Lian and said: "Great Khan, as long as you can kill Thunder Lord here, you will still be the Great Khan of the Xianbei people, otherwise...!"
The following words are deduced by Luri, but everyone knows that the Xianbei people do not need a coward to sweat. If they cannot kill Lei Gong, he will not be able to return to Baitan Mountain alive.
He Lian said coldly: "Don't worry, Ben Khan will definitely kill Thunder Lord!"
"Woo, woo, woo!"
The horn of the Xianbei people's attack sounded, and more than 70,000 Xianbei people, led by Luri Deyan and others, divided into three groups and rushed into Xu Wei's army from the left and right.
"Fuck!" The Xianbei people attacked Xu Wei's wings, and Xu Wei cursed on the spot. This would not let his trump card go to waste! The Mo Dao team he spent a lot of money to build turned out to be a decoration!
However, Wang Ge immediately fulfilled his duties as chief of staff and said: "Separate four battalions of crossbowmen to advance on both wings to protect the cavalry!"
The messenger will go immediately to convey the order
Two phalanxes of crossbows with tens of thousands of people supported the cavalry on the left and right wings respectively!
Wang Yong, who was leading the cavalry, smiled happily when he saw the Xianbei people charging towards him. Sure enough, fighting the Xianbei people still depends on their cavalry.
In an era when the three-piece cavalry suit was not yet popular, cavalry archery was not very lethal at all. Many historical records show that military commanders could pull out a bushel of arrows, but they were still active after a few days of training.
Therefore, the imaginary mounted archery and roaming archery are not the real fighting methods of the Hu people in this era!
The real way of fighting between cavalry in this era is to rely on the mobility of the cavalry to find the weaknesses of the military formation, rush into the formation from the flanks, or kill each other hand-to-hand. As long as you can withstand the casualties, you can win. It is extremely crude and simple.
, and also extremely tests the courage of soldiers.
Wang Yong said calmly: "The crossbowmen are ready. Before the Xianbei people get close, they must be showered with three rounds of arrow rain!"
"Boohoo!" The first round of crossbow arrows was fired!
But the Xianbei people already knew that almost every one of Lei Gong's men had a crossbow. After two rounds of losses, they had already thought of a way. When they were 100 steps closer to Wang Yong and the others, the Xianbei soldiers raised their arrows one after another.
The cowhide shields were placed in front of them, and at the same time, they also accelerated through this distance with their war horses.
Wang Yong calmly watched the Xianbei people enter the 50-step range and said: "Shoot again!"
"Boohoo!"
This time the crossbow arrows still did not cause many casualties to the Xianbei people!
Wang Yong drew his sword and said: "Get ready to charge!"
"The crossbowmen are ready to support, and the pikemen are protecting the crossbowmen!"
Next, the two sides will continue the cruelest hand-to-hand fight. This is a battle that depends on who is better equipped, has high morale, and can withstand the highest casualties. Wang Yong believes that apart from having an advantage in numbers, he has no other advantages.
All the soldiers are superior to the Xianbei people!
The brutal battle is about to begin!
In the center of the army, Wang Ge constantly deployed soldiers to support the two wings, and at the same time kept a certain reserve in his own hands, because there were 30,000 Xianbei cavalry opposite him that had not moved, and he had to guard against this cavalry!
"What do they want to do with this cavalry?" Xu Wei asked curiously.
Wang Ge thought for a while and said: "They may want to see where we have any flaws so that they can divide and surround us. Although we have more wings than the enemy now, the cavalry is more mobile than us. No matter where these 30,000 cavalry appear,
On the battlefield, we can form local advantages, divide and surround either of our two wings, and gather them together to annihilate them!"
This can be regarded as the advantage of cavalry. In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, the battlefield range is dozens of miles away, which is beyond the commander's field of vision. After they have arranged all the support, they can only understand the surroundings through horse detection.
However, they cannot interfere with the commander's actions at all. The victory or defeat of the war can only depend on the commander's ability. All they can do is wait here. This is why there is a saying that it is easy to win a thousand armies but it is difficult to find a general.
That's right, because training of generals in this era is too high. You can only rely on bloody battles. Those who survive dozens of battles can naturally become generals.
The Xianbei cavalry can quickly support their own side, but for Xu Wei's infantry, the distance of dozens of miles is enough for them to run for half a day.
Xu Wei worriedly said: "If these 30,000 cavalry really rush to either of our left and right wings, what should I do?"
Wang Ge firmly said, "The Xianbei people want to defeat us through such tactics. It is simply wishful thinking. Our army is well-equipped. Even if we do not have the advantage in numbers, our sophisticated equipment and rigorous military formation are enough to wait until we support us! When the time comes, we should cooperate inside and outside."
, the losers are the Xianbei people."
Murong Peng saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Lei Gong, so he drew his saber and said: "The whole army charges with me!"
Then he looked at Helian's personal guards and said, "Protect the Great Khan and let the Great Khan follow me!"
Helian's personal guard said: "Understood!"
Then he looked in the direction of Xu Wei and shouted: "Kill!"
Thirty thousand Xianbei cavalry also shouted: "Kill!"
Then they rode their horses and slowly accelerated towards Xu Wei!
"The Xianbei people are attacking!" Xu Wei quickly discovered the movements of Murong Peng and the others!
Xu Wei was surprised and said: "This is coming for us!"
He shouted with joy: "Mo Dao Camp is ready to fight!"
All the soldiers in Mo Dao Camp clenched their swords!
Wang Ge pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that this Xianbei people have already set their sights on us. They attacked our two wings first to mobilize our army so that this Xianbei people can defeat our Chinese army!"
Xu Weidao: "The Xianbei people are seeking death. It is impossible for them to break through our Modao Camp!"
"Boohoo!"
The battle process was still the same. When the Xianbei people got 100 steps closer to the Chinese army, they were greeted by a round of crossbow arrows!
However, the Xianbei people, who had cowhide shields, basically suffered no casualties. They continued to advance, and even when they reached 30 steps, they did not even shoot their bows. They gave up this round of attack, but accelerated their horses and continued to rush towards Xu Wei.
of the Chinese Army.
The sound of the war horse is getting louder and louder, 10 steps, 5 steps!
"Chirp, chirp"
Within 5 steps of Modao Camp, these war horses all hit the barbed wire fence and could not escape at all. The Xianbei warriors above fell directly to the bottom.
Murong Peng didn't know what barbed wire was, but he was experienced in combat and immediately commanded: "Cover this thing with a cowhide shield!"
In just a short moment, the barbed wire fence was completely covered by the cowhide shield. It no longer became an obstacle to the Xianbei cavalry, but they also lost their speed and exposed themselves to the Mo Dao's blade.
"Mo Daoying, cut!"
The instinctive reaction they had trained for more than a month allowed them to make uniform chopping movements in an instant!
The enemies in front of Mo Daoying, whether they were war horses or Xianbei warriors, were chopped into two pieces by this uniform sword technique, and hundreds of Xianbei warriors fell instantly.
"Go forward, chop!"
Mo Dao's chopping tactical action appeared, and with a flash of sword light, hundreds more Xianbei warriors fell to the ground.
Under the sunlight, Mo Dao's blood-red sword light flashed with a frightening luster.
The entire Mo Dao camp is like a terrifying meat grinder, seeming to crush everything into pieces!
"Mo Dao Camp continues to advance and chop up the enemies in front of you!"
Only the soldiers of the Three Thousand Modao Battalion were left who instinctively obeyed the orders. Wherever they went, their troops and horses were shattered. A strange scene appeared on the battlefield, where the cavalry was defeated by the infantry!
"Mo Dao is not for defense, I am for offense!" Xu Wei said excitedly.
Wang Ge was also disgusted by the astonishing power of Mo Dao and said: "The spear camp and the crossbow camp are concentrated on attacking the Xianbei cavalry!"
"Boom!" Long arrows kept shooting at the front of Modao Camp, and some even hit the soldiers of Modao Camp, but they were wearing 50-pound iron armor and steel helmets, and the crossbow arrows were also hit by the arrows.
Knocked crooked!
Three thousand swordsmen marched forward like a forest. They were like tigers descending from the mountain, tearing apart any enemy in front of them.
As long as the sword flashes, blood and flesh will fly everywhere.
Countless limbs and blood were sprinkled all over the battlefield. Heads one after another rolled all over the ground. Internal organs and blood were sprinkled on the ground, and bursts of white gas appeared.
The Xianbei people were so killed that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart. They had never seen such a terrifying long sword or such a terrifying army.
