In the next two days, the Shanyue people at the foot of the mountain launched attacks from time to time, but only briefly. After encountering a strong blockage, they immediately retreated. They were no longer as crazy as they were during the first attack.
Fang Jun guessed that Wu Duohai, the commander-in-chief of the Shanyue Sect, was probably showing off to the Han nobleman. He neither attacked nor evacuated, so he left Fang Jun here like this to whet the appetite of the Han nobleman...
There is plenty of food on the mountain, so it doesn't matter even if we are surrounded for ten or eight days.
But Fang Jun gradually felt uneasy.
Obviously, this rebellion of the Shanyue people was instigated and secretly supported by some Jiangnan nobles. So what is the relationship between these Jiangnan nobles and the Han nobleman? If his guess is correct, then the Han nobleman is Changsun Chong, who is absconding in fear of crime.
, relying on the influence of the Changsun family, if the Jiangnan noble clans are directly allowed to send their dead soldiers to participate in the attack...
He is not afraid of a bunch of scattered Shanyue people, but if they are dead soldiers raised by the Jiangnan gentry, then he will be extremely careless!
I discussed my thoughts with Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan. They had the same thoughts as Fang Jun. It would be too dangerous to continue to stay on the mountain to create a drama of "being trapped" to gain merit.
Being surrounded... There are at most more than a hundred people on my side. Although the cavalry has an absolute advantage over the infantry, the Jiangnan gentry has been operating for hundreds of years, and there must be no shortage of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows in the clan. When the light cavalry encounters
Crossbow...
That would be tragic.
Without further ado, Fang Jun immediately organized his soldiers to prepare for a breakout. If he trapped himself here because he wanted to gain huge reputation, he would have dug a hole and buried himself. I guarantee that someone would laugh at Fang Jun a thousand years later.
Seeking death...
However, things backfired.
When Liu Renyuan led the scouts to find a breakthrough point with weak troops, they discovered a large number of crossbows and soldiers wearing armor in the Shanyue people's formation. Unfortunately, Fang Jun's guess came true.
The atmosphere on the top of the mountain became heavy.
Although many soldiers are equipped with armor, it is only half-body equipment. Facing long-range weapons of great destruction like crossbows, the shortcomings are obvious. Not to mention that people can shoot the horses first. Without the war horses,
These more than a hundred people were trapped in the wave-like Shanyue people's formation. Even if they were faced with ten thousand ants, they would probably be killed. As for the more than one hundred craftsmen of the Fang family, although they were all strong and strong, they went into battle to kill the enemy.
The experience is zero. In this case, it will only be a hindrance and will not increase the overall combat effectiveness.
Liu Renyuan wiped his face. He had just had a hand-to-hand encounter with a group of soldiers wearing armor. He then killed all his opponents and sprayed blood on his own face. He did not bother to wash away the blood stains on his face and said in a deep voice: "These battles
The soldiers have very strong combat capabilities, and they are definitely not ordinary soldiers. From the general's perspective, they look more like dead soldiers raised by the Jiangnan gentry."
Liu Rengui remained silent, looking up at the more and more soldiers gathering at the foot of the mountain, frowning. If the Jiangnan nobles sent soldiers to join the battle, it would be troublesome.
Fang Jun is very embarrassed...
Although Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan did not complain, Fang Jun felt guilty... If he had not committed suicide, how could he have fallen into such a desperate situation? He thought that as a time traveler, his IQ could crush most people of this era.
Turning a hand-held goose feather fan makes him Zhuge Liang? Fang Jun was so ashamed that he almost had no face to see others.
Liu Rengui remained silent, but he didn't pay attention to Fang Jun's expression. Not to mention whether he dared to complain or not, the most important thing at this time was to find a way to break out. What's the point of complaining?
But after thinking for a long time, there was no way to easily break through the crossbow encirclement. He sighed: "The cavalry has a natural advantage over the infantry, but the crossbow suppresses the cavalry in all directions. If we have enough people, we can launch it once at such a short distance."
There was still hope of breaking through in the surprise attack, but we only had so few people, and we were shot to death by crossbowmen before we could rush to the front of the formation... Unless it was His Majesty's black-armored cavalry when he defeated Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, otherwise the light cavalry would
The crossbowman is a living target..."
Liu Renyuan said nonchalantly: "Where are the black armored cavalry? Your Majesty, as a minister, was in charge of the war in the Central Plains. All the most elite soldiers under Li Tang's command were dispatched by your majesty. He could only put together three thousand black armored cavalry. The armor was too difficult.
Build it! What's the use of talking about that now? If we die here in battle, it can be regarded as sacrificing our lives for the country. We just have to find a way to protect the Marquis and break through the encirclement!"
Liu Rengui felt discouraged for a while.
Although the enemy's crossbowmen are not many, they are an army strictly regulated by the imperial court, and the Jiangnan nobles cannot make a big show of equipping them with large quantities of crossbowmen. However, the number of crossbowmen on our side is also small. Comparing the two, the disadvantage is too great.
Fang Jun was really excited.
Of course he has heard about His Majesty Li Er's Black Armor Cavalry. To be honest, His Majesty Li Er's greatest contribution to the myth of breaking the 100,000 Hulao Pass from 3,000 to 100,000 is attributed to these 3,000 Black Armor Cavalry. The Black Armor Cavalry is just the name of this unit.
, if it comes down to the military type, it is another name - armored cavalry!
The armored cavalry, also known as the armored cavalry, is a military unit that maximizes the protective capabilities of humans and horses. With its strong defensive capabilities, the armored cavalry can run rampant on the battlefield without fear of swords. History has proven that those who are well trained and commanded properly
Armored cavalry equipment can ignore almost any military type. Even cavalry archers and heavy infantry, which are generally considered to be the nemesis of heavy cavalry, are helpless. There are few empires in the world that have not established this type of military unit. Many empires have such elite armor because of their elite armor.
The loss of riding equipment led to decline, such as the Sui Dynasty and Rome...
The peak of Chinese armored cavalry equipment was in the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty, which inherited a large number of weapons from the Northern Dynasty, had an amazing number of armored cavalry equipment, which was the absolute main force of the Sui Dynasty army. Unfortunately, most of the most elite armored cavalrymen in the Sui Dynasty were killed in battle.
In Goguryeo - Goguryeo is a mountainous country with many rivers and waterways. These terrains are simply a disaster for armored vehicles. The failure of the Sui Dynasty in Goguryeo is closely related to this.
Later, the Tang army learned its lesson and replaced the armored cavalry with new types of archers and ordinary heavy cavalry, and won the war against the Turks and Goguryeo.
It can be said that the disadvantages of armored cavalry are as prominent as their advantages, and sooner or later they will be eliminated by the development of the times.
But it is still the most invincible existence on the battlefield in the cold weapon era!
Yes, they are bulky, and they can only charge, but their detours fail to be straightforward, sneak attacks fail to be upright, stray shots fail to be domineering, and defense fails to be fierce. Only frontal attack is the desire of a true warrior!
They are the kings of the ancient battlefield, the luxurious warriors that every king dreams of most. On the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, they are only a few thousand, but they can intimidate the three armies. The noble warriors are all proud to be among them. They are armored cavalry.
Well-equipped, heavy cavalry with both men and horses!
Fang Jun felt his blood boiling!
Yes, it is impossible to create the "Nine Iron Armors" with such sophisticated, complex and perfect equipment, but looking at the iron-making furnace in front of you, and then looking at the several water conservancy forging hammers standing by the river... an idea emerged.
In Fang Jun's mind.
*****
The Shanyue people's formation at the foot of the mountain was filled with depression.
Changsun Chong felt that he could no longer stand Wu Duohai's stupidity. If he couldn't defeat him, he would have to cut off Wu Duohai's stupid head even if he was in the Shanyue people's formation!
This group of stupid barbarians only knew how to burn, kill, loot, and attack the county town to steal food and women. However, they forgot that without their own intermediary contact and the acquiescence and support of the Jiangnan nobles, they would have been suppressed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in the blink of an eye!
From the time the rebellion was launched until now, not a single soldier from the vicinity of Xuanzhou has come to encircle and suppress him. Don’t you know what’s going on? And what he and the Jiangnan nobles want is Fang Jun’s head. This is a prerequisite!
But now Wu Duohai actually wants to give up the siege of Fang Jun and instead attack a larger city and plunder more food, money and women. How could he allow it? How could the Jiangnan nobles allow it?
"Now the soldiers from all the major families have arrived one after another. As long as they can surround Fang Jun tightly and prevent him from flying, they will soon be able to cut off his head. By then, no one will care about what you Shanyue people do."
Changsun Chong endured his anger and persuaded Wu Duohai.
Wu Duohai remained silent, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Do you really think I'm a fool?
What's the point of dividing a river to rule, and what's the trick of deceiving ghosts by cutting off territory and becoming king!
