The war has begun. Yun Zheng wants to see the battle. The best place to see the battle is Daheishan. There are six Qingtang people guarding there, and they are also elites. However, Han Lin, Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi said that it is not a problem to capture them.
big.
So they went to Daheishan early in the morning, and Lang Lige came back the next day and told Yunzheng that the matter had been settled and asked Yunzheng to go quickly. Jiao Siluo's army and Wu Zang's army had already clashed.
It happened once, but they were all infantry. This is also the standard procedure for large armies to fight. The place where the feet of the infantry steps is a good place for the cavalry to fight. Now people are smarter. When the army fights, no one
Stupidly using precious cavalry to explore unknown places.
Making an excuse, saying that he was going to explore the road, Yun Zheng took Liang Ji and Peng Jiu to Daheishan. This was a place that could not be affected by the war. Although it was said that under clear weather, the brigade could be seen.
People and horses are fighting, but these people are about the same size as ants.
When Yun Zheng stood at the Daheishan sentry post, he saw no bodies of the Qingtang people, and no blood on the ground. Sun Qizhi held a piece of tough cowhide rope in his hand, and there seemed to be a metallic light shining inside. It was indeed good.
, with this thing, you only need to strangle your neck to kill someone, no need to make it dirty.
The smoke at the outpost still has to be lit as usual. Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi are very familiar with this. At sunset, a wisp of smoke rises into the sky. Daheishan is the outermost sentry post. As long as the smoke here rises
, the smoke from the surrounding areas also rose. According to Lang Lige, this was a sign of peace.
The sun was still shining brightly during the day, but at night there was a strong wind. The strong north wind passed over the checkpoint, howling like a ghost. The inside of the checkpoint was as cold as an ice cellar. Although there were a lot of flames, it still felt like
There was not much warm breath, but strong wind came in from the crack in the door and the window, blowing the flames wildly. From time to time, large clouds of sparks flew up, illuminating the six faces in the sentry post.
"Are the fireworks signals of Qingtang people and Xixia people the same?" Yun Zheng hugged his knees and huddled up, breaking the silence here first.
"It's all the same. One smoke means safety, two means there is a warning, and three means enemy attack!"
"How to command the position, I mean, if you want to show that the enemy is coming from the left, how do you announce it?"
"No need, the general will know how to predict and warn things. The simpler the better, complicated things are limited to writing!" Han Lin opened his mouth to speak. "The same is true for the smoke signals of the Song Dynasty. There is not much difference, it is too complicated.
In fact, it is the greatest harm on the battlefield."
Yun Zheng nodded. In rough times, only rough things can be used for a long time. These methods have been tested by war. There is no need to question its correctness.
Their approach makes sense. Rough things are indeed more durable than delicate things, both in ancient and modern times. Thinking of rough things, Yun Zheng missed his rough telescope very much. It was still made of red film and looked very rough.
It is a standard made in Russia, but when Yunzheng showed it off in his circle of friends, he was despised by his brothers who knew telescopes.
After being scolded a hundred times for being stupid, Yun Zheng learned a trick. Military telescopes can never be made of red film. If they are red film, it can only mean that an idiot has been deceived.
Yun Zheng misses his red-coated telescope very much now. With it, the entire battlefield will appear clearly in front of his eyes, and Yun Zheng can definitely hype that thing into an artifact like clairvoyance.
People don't like to talk when they are cold, and they like to eat. They boil butter tea in a black clay pot, add a little salt, and eat it with dry biscuits. It is not delicious, but it simply provides heat for the body.
There is a low-pitched horn sound coming from the plain in the distance. This is a warning signal. It is used to ask everyone to stay vigilant. It will appear once every half an hour, and large flames will rise on the plain. This is a mutual defense against sneak attacks.
The methods, whether they are Qingtang people or Xixia people, are operating strictly according to the standards. At this time, the way they do things is rigorous and thorough. It is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Only when he came here did Yun Zheng realize that all kinds of strategies were not applicable. Most wars were just fights with real swords and guns. Surprise attacks, fire attacks, floods. Only the weak would do that. Once implemented, what else would happen?
Success or failure. If it succeeds, it will cause trouble to the enemy. If it fails, the whole army will be annihilated.
Since social productivity has developed to a certain level, there will basically be no chance for famous generals to be born. War has become a comprehensive subject. The confrontation between two countries can no longer be decided by one or two wars.
What matters at this time is the strength of the country, the bravery of its soldiers, and the depth and breadth of its territory.
Jiao Si Luo and Wu Zang You Pang are now two giants who have put the flesh and blood of all the soldiers on their bodies to prepare for a decisive battle. Kalochuan is the battlefield for the duel between giants. Yun Zheng can't tell who is stronger, but it is certain.
Both giants will become scarred after this war.
This was an unnecessary battle. The only thing Yuan Hao wanted to do was to avenge his own defeat, or he had dirty thoughts of weakening Wu Zangpang's strength.
The Heishan Military Division is the second most powerful army in Xixia. After his own troops were damaged, Li Yuanhao started a war in order to maintain his decisive advantage. This is nothing new.
The sound of horns and drums made Yun Zheng clearly know that he was on a battlefield. When he thought that 100,000 people would fight under his nose tomorrow, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
"I can't imagine the scene of a hundred thousand people fighting, Lang Lige, have you ever seen it?" Yun Zheng asked in a low voice.
Lang Lige added firewood to the fire and ignored Yun Zheng's stupid question.
"If there are not 100,000 people fighting, it would be good if at most 10,000 people fight against each other. It is not a battle to destroy the country, so all the back-up players must be left behind. If the Xixia people feel that the situation on the battlefield is favorable to them, they may invest more combat power.
In the end, it turned into a war to destroy the country. If no one can do anything to anyone, this war will soon stop, and it will soon enter the 29th. The freezing cold weather is not suitable for the army to stay outside for a long time. It must go back to keep out the cold and spend the winter.
If too many warriors from a small tribe die, that tribe may perish. This is the most taboo thing for the Xixia army. It is impossible not to think of this without hiding."
Sun Qizhi drank the butter tea in the bowl in one gulp, wrapped himself tightly in an old sheepskin coat, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and meditated, and seemed unwilling to talk any more.
What he said was very different from what Yun Zheng thought. He originally thought that ancient wars were about two groups of people chopping with knives, and they would not stop until one party killed the other party. In that case, the world would be full of corpses of aliens.
and heads, what a spectacular scene it must be. Who knows that people have sense and plan to just chop off a few times and go home. Such a war is really depressing.
Leaning on Liang Ji's solid back and sleeping for a while, the night slowly seemed to be endless. Through the uncovered window, there was no moon visible outside, only the stars in the sky, colorless.
The cold wind is raging crazily between the starry sky and the earth. It doesn't howl. What does howl is the thing that hinders its progress.
The last sleep was surprisingly long. When I was pushed awake by Liang Ji, I found that the sky was already bright, the wind stopped at some point, the weather became extremely cold, and white frost flowers were falling from the clear sky.
, on such an extremely cold morning, the two most powerful cavalry on the Kalo River are about to start fighting.
After going out for a while, Yun Zheng felt as if a layer of his skin had been peeled off. Any exposed skin felt like needle pricks. The twelve horses tied outside shivered and huddled together.
Dare to leave the sheltered shack.
Langlige had already lit up the wolf smoke, and black smoke pillars shot straight into the blue sky. Just like in the evening, smoke pillars also appeared on the other mountains. Correspondingly, smoke pillars also rose into the sky on the mountains opposite the Yellow River. These smoke pillars finally formed a huge
The surrounding area tightly wrapped the Kalochuan River inside it.
Yun Zheng felt that these smoke pillars were like the smoke screens before stage stars in later generations. Now he was looking forward to the appearance of warriors from both sides, then fighting, hugging, knocking down, and finally dying.
This is a huge arena, and the protagonist is about to take the stage...
The crowd appeared on the plain, and the sound of drums came from a distance. Each drumbeat was like the breathing of a giant. They were accumulating strength, hatred and courage, waiting for the final collision.
Yun Zheng's heart was so excited by the sound of the drums that he even felt that his heartbeat was closely following the beats of the drums. He forgot about the cold and held onto the stone platform made of bluestone with his hands, blue veins bursting out.
The drumming stopped. Sun Qizhi squinted his eyes and looked at the two dark square formations and said, "It's begun!"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the Xixia people's right-wing cavalry had already launched, and their speed was increasing. Their target was the Jiao Siluo left-wing cavalry they were facing.
Jiao Siluo's phalanx seemed to have sprouted wings in an instant, and the phalanxes on the left and right were also rushing forward. Not only did he have to fight against the cavalry on the right wing, but he also wanted to let the cavalry on the left wing, which didn't hide their wings, feel
to heavy pressure,
"Yaohao!" This is the cry of the cavalry when they charge. Maybe they didn't shout these two words, but when it reached Yunzheng, it became this syllable.
"A war horse needs at least half a mile from starting to running, and then to the final acceleration. Therefore, the distance of one mile is the minimum combat space for cavalry. A cavalry that is fully running is unstoppable!"
"It's not like that!" Yun Zheng muttered in a low voice. This was completely different from what he had seen in TV movies before. There were no various formations, just two groups of chaotic teams crashing into each other crazily!
The sound of horse hooves covered up all the noise between heaven and earth. The two surging waves finally collided together, turning out beautiful waves. The clouds were too far away to see the color of blood. I could only appreciate the most magnificent scenery on the planet like watching a black and white film.
