In these seven years, Qin Lang also fought against foreign races many times.
Although the Xianbei and other foreign tribes will not attack Yanmen Pass in a large scale, it does not mean that they will not instruct some rangers to invade during the Han army's autumn harvest and attack the people responsible for the autumn harvest!
Although these rangers were not many in number, they were lightweight, coming like a shadow and going like the wind. By the time the Han army came out, they had already disappeared without a trace.
At the beginning, Qin Lang was given a lot of trouble. In the end, it was Qin Lang who designed more countermeasures according to the pattern of each attack by the alien rangers, and finally completely eliminated this group of rangers.
After this incident, these alien rangers wandering on the grassland fully knew how powerful the Yanmen Army was, and they no longer dared to deal with the Autumn Harvest people at will!
To prevent this from causing trouble!
Qin Lang has also grown rapidly through these trainings, which allowed his five-dimensional attributes to increase by fourteen points in seven years.
In this decisive battle with Chen Youliang, if we look at the commander alone, although Qin Lang's basic commander may be slightly higher than Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang may have an increase in anti-thief skills.
But all in all, the impact is not big!
What really has the biggest impact is the combat power and weapons and equipment of both sides.
The Yanmen Army is undoubtedly elite, and although the Daijun Army has great shortcomings, it is still much better than the Yellow Turban Army.
As for weapons, the weapons used by the Yanmen Army are the famous steel swords and iron swords made by the steel filling method.
This forging method is to "burn the pig iron to make it heavy and soft, and then it will become steel after a few days. Use the soft iron as the spine of the sword, bathe it in the drowning of five animals, and quench it in the fat of the five animals."
It can be said that this is a new steel-making process that decarburizes cast iron and is different from pig iron frying. First, the pig iron is melted and poured onto the wrought iron to allow carbon to penetrate into the wrought iron and increase the carbon content of the wrought iron.
Animal urine and animal fat were used respectively and quenched into steel.
Livestock urine contains salt, and quenching the water cools it quickly, making the quenched steel hard;
The bread is cooled when quenched with livestock fat, making the steel pliable.
After being treated with these two quenching agents, the steel is flexible and the blade is both hard and soft, and can "cut armor for more than thirty piercings".
Wang Yu also obtained this forging method through a system lottery a few years ago.
Otherwise, do you really think that in the Battle of Hetao, the Han army was able to defeat the foreign coalition forces because of its own high combat effectiveness? Don’t laugh, the aliens’ combat effectiveness is not weak either!
The Han army was able to defeat its opponents by relying on a strong commander to maximize the power of the army. At the same time, it also relied on the strength of the weapons in hand and the defense of armor!
Just imagine, the scimitar in the hands of the foreigners needs to be looked at three times to injure the Han army, but the Han army only needs one sword. How big of a difference will this make!
This is true even for foreign races, not to mention these Yellow Turban Army.
Most of the weapons they use are ordinary iron weapons, which are not weapons made by hundreds of steel refinements. Let alone three cuts, even seven or eight times, they may not be able to hurt Qin Lang's Yanmen Army.
The final result can be imagined. Qin Lang only used 25,000 troops to defeat Chen Youliang's 90,000 troops in one battle. In the end, he killed 27,000 enemies, captured 13,000 prisoners, and suffered 5,200 losses.
Gain complete victory.
"This failure is one aspect in which the Yanmen Army caught our army off guard. In fact, what is more important is the issue of background. Whether it is the equipment used by the soldiers or their training, the Yanmen Army far surpasses our army.
"
"Even in this battle of Hetao, most of Wang Yu's elite troops were taken away, and the troops left to watch were not idlers. They underestimated the strength of Yanmen County, and also underestimated Qin Lang.
"
"I didn't expect that although this person is not famous, he has such abilities, and he has many powerful generals to assist him." Zhang Jiao sighed, and at the same time announced that the matter was over!
"Master, I..."
Chen Youliang became very anxious when he saw that his master Zhang Jiao seemed to have misunderstood what he meant. In order to restore his confidence, he actually wanted to take all the blame for himself.
However, just as Chen Youliang was about to defend himself, Zhang Jiao raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. We, the Yellow Turban Army, have millions of troops. Since the uprising, we have captured half of the Han Dynasty in less than a year. It was just one or two defeats, but we can still afford to lose."
." Zhang Jiao immediately waved his hand and said with a calm look on his face.
"Master..."
At this moment, Chen Youliang was really touched by Zhang Jue. When he thought of the impure purpose of surrendering to Zhang Jue in the first place, the guilt in his heart deepened, and two tears of emotion flowed down his cheeks.
After feeling Chen Youliang's emotions, Zhang Jiao nodded with satisfaction, and then issued a shocking order to everyone.
"The general ordered Zhang Liang, the lord of Youzhou, to stop attacking Youzhou and immediately give up all the gains and lead an army of 200,000 to withdraw to Jizhou."
"As for the remaining troops, they will be led by Ge Rong, as long as they can keep the current victory. Their main goal is to hold back the Han army, especially the reinforcements sent by the Liaodong Army."
When Zhang Jiao issued such an order, he was also frightened by the Yanmen Army. The Yanmen Army alone is so powerful. If the Liaodong Army joins again, the Yellow Turban Army will be really in danger!
"An order was sent to Huang Chao in Qingzhou. The battle situation in Qingzhou changed from offensive to defensive. Huang Chao led an army of 150,000 to Jizhou."
"Instruct Yuzhou coach Yun Ji and deputy general Zhu Yuanzhang that the battle situation in Yuzhou has also begun to shift from offensive to defensive. Yun Ji and Zhu Yuanzhang will lead an army of 200,000 to Yanzhou!"
"Order Nanyang Yunkuang to temporarily abandon some cities strategically and command an army of 50,000 to go north to Yuzhou. After Yunji and Zhu Yuanzhang leave, he will temporarily serve as the Yellow Turban coach of Yuzhou. Zhu Jun and the others must not be allowed to leave, and they must be trapped in Yuzhou. !”
Zhang Jiao conveyed such an order, naturally taking into account the situation in Nanyang. According to the strength of the Han army in Nanyang, even if Yun Kuang could capture it, it would probably take a long time.
Now, what the Yellow Turban Army needs most is time, so Zhang Jiao feels that there is no need to waste time here. It is better to transfer the elite troops to deal with Zhu Jun and the others.
As long as Zhu Jun's Han army is trapped in Yuzhou, the military force that the imperial court can use will become less and less, and the Yellow Turban Army's chances of winning will become greater and greater!
Since Jingzhou cannot be taken, we might as well give up and leave only the northern part of Nanyang, the key point connecting the Central Plains!
