Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh forced landing
Shabu Shabu Shabu!
The feet stepped on the snow, making a rinsing sound. The entire Lingfeng County army did not make any other sounds except for the sound of footsteps and the slightest sound when weapons collided.
The weather was too cold, no one wanted to talk, and the cold wind would enter their mouths when they spoke. If it weren't for the order issued by Zhangye County and the sufficient supplies provided this time, and they had no place to run, they would not be willing to be in the cold winter.
ran out.
They have prepared food for the winter at home. After a year, the whole family finally got together, and now they have to go on an expedition. As soldiers, they know that if they go to the battlefield, they will probably never return!
In Liangzhou, every household has a soldier. Once a man reaches fifteen, he will join the army. If he is lucky, he will be disabled after a few expeditions, and he can return home. If he is not lucky, he will probably lose his life in the army.
On the battlefield.
Every time they go on an expedition, they regard it as the last time they see their families. Winter is a day for them to get together with their relatives, but they are forced to fight here in Heishui County.
This time their enemies were not the Xianbei and Qiang people in the grassland, but the Xiliang soldiers from the northwest land on the other side.
I heard that the winter in the northwest is colder than here. There are only two seasons in the northwest, one winter and one summer.
The snowy days lasted for three or four months. Along the way, they often heard rumors about Xiliang soldiers. Each of the Xiliang soldiers was eight feet tall and had a strong back and a strong back.
The armors on their bodies are each thicker than the last, especially the Xiliang cavalry, which is a powerful cavalry that defeated General Ma Jin. The leader of the Xiliang army, Li Xiang, was a ruthless man who killed General Ma Jin with a halberd.
People in the army also want to stop the rumors, but the more you stop them, the more they will appear. In addition, these soldiers were forced to come here, and the morale can be imagined.
For this reason, the military leader of Lingfeng County, Yang Yuan, did not dare to spread the news that the enemy they were going to face this time was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
After knowing that the Xiliang cavalry army is in this plain, Yang Yuan is also very difficult. This place is a plain. Even if there is thick snow now, which can slow down the cavalry, if the opponent does not rush with you, but is far away
Where are you hanging from far away?
Moreover, once the opponent becomes aggressive and the cavalry charges, what should the army do?
He has never led infantry against heavy cavalry. Except for a few special infantry who can fight heavy cavalry head-on, most other infantry cannot, even pike formations, cannot face heavy cavalry.
When the cavalry charges, if they are determined to die, they can blindfold the horses and charge directly. The first row of cavalry will probably die, but what about the ones behind?
They will crush them and destroy the entire infantry square. This is heavy cavalry!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry happens to be this kind of cavalry. Every Xiliang soldier is a master who does not want his life. If they really charge, they will not even risk their lives!
"General, there is a message from the scouts ahead!" The deputy general galloped to Yang Yuan's side: "The Xiliang cavalry on the other side is mobilizing troops, and the first batch of cavalry has been dispatched!"
"What about the quantity?" Yang Yuan asked.
The deputy general smiled bitterly: "The scout team did not detect it. Of the scouts sent out, he was the only one who came back seriously injured. After passing the news to me, he collapsed!"
Yang Yuan's brows have never relaxed. The Xiliang cavalry can confront the Liangzhou cavalry head-on. The Xiliang infantry can directly cut down the cavalry. The Xiliang scouts can make their Liangzhou army deaf. Until now, they
It can't spread very far.
Those Xiliang scouts were like ghosts, following them around. Wherever they ran, those people ran there, and their whereabouts were always under the surveillance of the other party.
And once their scout troops come into contact with the Xiliang scouts, they will be killed by the other party.
The Xiliang scout has the shadow of Qianjimen!
"Let the forward troops pay attention, and the light cavalry will clear the way!" Yang Yuan said, looking at the snow that was still falling. The snow that fell today was much lighter. If it was like last night, they wouldn't have to rush!
Later, the food and grass were transported to the town, leaving only enough food and grass for the army for seven days. At this time, they were only four days away from Heishui County, and the food and grass for seven days was enough!
Bringing a large amount of grain and grass will also hinder their marching speed. It will be easier for them to wait until Heishui County has people transport the grain and grass there.
Because it was a plain, the army was divided into two teams, each with about six people, and two teams of twelve people marching side by side on the plain. There were fields here, so there was no need to worry about road problems.
Yang Yuan did not send anyone to investigate the two sides of the army. He had already seen both sides in the morning and there were no traces of large-scale marches on the ground.
There are a lot of Xiliang cavalry, and the movement of the army will leave a lot of traces in the snow.
They didn't know that the Xiliang cavalry was already preparing to go out, waiting for the Liangzhou army to enter the middle of the ambush circle.
Rumble!
At the front of the army, the Liangzhou forward troops encountered the enemy with the Xiliang light cavalry. The light cavalry started shooting more than fifty meters away from the opponent. With the bow skills and strength of the Xiliang light cavalry, they could shoot from a hundred meters away.
Killed by arrows.
But for the sake of lethality, they chose to get closer and confuse the opponent at the same time!
Thousands of light cavalry were scattered on the vast snow, constantly firing cold long arrows. The light cavalry in front of Liangzhou wanted to catch up with the Xiliang light cavalry. The two sides fought in the snow for an hour. The Liangzhou light cavalry was in the snow.
middle.
When Yang Yuan led him to the front of the army, he saw the Xiliang cavalry scattered in front. Because the Xiliang cavalry looked heavy, Yang Yuan thought they were Xiliang heavy cavalry.
"General, all the two thousand light cavalry in front of me are gone!" the cavalry commander took the few remaining light cavalry and ran to Yang Yuan's side and cried.
"Who told you to go out without permission?" Yang Yuan angrily wanted to kill this commander, but thinking of the other party's last name, he could only suppress his anger: "Go back to Yuanye Town by yourself!"
"Yes!" The cavalry commander heard Yang Yuan's words and knew that his disaster was over. He could just go back to Lingfeng County and find a few more people to explain to the master's family.
He was very dissatisfied with the Xiliang cavalry. When he saw those people holding long bows, he led others to capture the Xiliang cavalry, and then a series of things happened.
But who gave him the surname Ma? It doesn’t matter if the whole light cavalry army is destroyed. Anyway, their light cavalry in Lingfeng County is not an elite unit, so if they die, they will die!
The worst thing is, just let the family pay some money to compensate when the time comes!
"General, these cavalry don't want us to pass!" the deputy general said from the side: "Heishui County has called for help. It has been many days since Xiliang launched the attack. At this time, the city wall has cracked. Soon, the city wall of Heishui County will be destroyed.
, will be knocked down by the Xiliang trebuchet!
Let us hurry up and get there!"
"Urgent, just push!" Yang Yuan vented the frustration in his heart: "In the cold winter months, with heavy snowfall, it's great that we can get here in such a short time, and now there are Xiliang cavalry in front of us.
Road, how do we get there?
Do you want me to fly there with the army?"
The lieutenant general was a little embarrassed on the side. The superiors were really pressing, but they had Xiliang cavalry blocking the way, so they couldn't get past them at all!
boom!
Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky, Yang Yuan raised his head, and for some reason he felt something was wrong.
In the wilderness town, the soldiers who were busy were stunned, and fear flashed in the eyes of many people.
The soldiers who came to the town from the army in Lingfeng County were lying comfortably in the camp. They didn't have to do anything here, they just needed to have a good rest.
Bang!
The gate of the camp was kicked open, and a large group of people in black armor walked into the camp. Soon there were sounds of fighting and screams in the camp. Those who were carrying goods looked at those who were taking over the defense of the city wall with fearful eyes.
A big man in black armor.
The Liangzhou soldiers outside the city didn't know what was happening, but they were shot by long arrows on the city wall. The city gate was suddenly closed, and the big flag on the city wall was replaced by the bloody wolf-headed flag of Xiliang.
When people outside the city saw the big red flag with a wolf's head, everyone was a little stunned. They didn't know what it meant.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly there was a shaking sound on the ground, and Xiliang iron horses rushed to the battlefield. The snow that was very deep for the Liangzhou soldiers was not that deep for the Xiliang soldiers, and it was even shallower for the war horses.
There were Xiliang cavalry on both sides. When they got closer, the Liangzhou army realized that the Xiliang cavalry had surrounded them!
When the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters, the Xiliang cavalry began to charge, accelerating bit by bit.
Yang Yuan was in the snowflakes, and the sound of the hoofbeats of war horses could be heard from both sides. He also saw black lines appearing on both sides, and there were Xiliang cavalry on both sides!
"Enemy attack!"
"Quickly set up the formation!"
"Shield, spear!"
....
The troops arrived at the commander of a thousand, and the centurion quickly formed a military formation with his troops, hoping to use the military formation to fight against the Xiliang cavalry.
Yang Yuan suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha!"
A desolate voice came out, and the Liangzhou soldiers looked at Yang Yuan. The deputy general was worried about Yang Yuan: "General, are you okay?"
Yang Yuan shook his head: "Surrender!"
"Surrender?" The deputy general looked at Yang Yuan in disbelief: "General, the battle hasn't started yet, what should we surrender?
The Xiliang cavalry are certainly powerful, but it is winter and the snow is deep, so their cavalry cannot charge too fast. We still have the strength to fight, so why should we surrender?"
Yang Yuan sighed: "What if the other side just divides us and doesn't entangle with our army?"
Yang Yuan's infantry reacted quickly. Within a short period of time, the nearest teams were united and organized into circular formations. Yang Yuan was surrounded by a huge circular formation.
When Qin Yi and Qi Er saw these circular formations, they also had some admiration for these Liangzhou soldiers. This time they did not charge as fast as they could and gave the other side some time to organize their military formations.
This is also the skill of the opponent. When ordinary cavalry see Xiliang charging, their formation will be scattered long ago, let alone forming a formation!
This team is really good!
The Xiliang Iron Armor did not forcefully attack these military formations. Before going into battle, Qin Yi and Qi Er saw the snowflakes still falling, and they came up with a good idea.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry are not ordinary cavalry. They will have to wait for a long time to die. Now it is snowing, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in heavy armor can easily get into trouble if they charge with all their strength.
So they decided to use a force to subjugate the enemy without fighting. Of course, if the opponent did not surrender, then they would beat the opponent until they surrendered.
Deliberately give the opponent a chance to form formations, but these formations must be small, and the baggage troops must be captured. Even if they cannot be captured, they must be separated from the frontline troops.
At the beginning of the battle, the baggage troops behind Liangzhou placed various supplies on the outside to form a wall to block the charge of the Xiliang cavalry.
"General, those Xiliang cavalry don't dare to charge into the formation, we'll be fine!" the deputy general said excitedly, pointing to the circular formation.
Yang Yuan stretched out his hand to catch Xuehua: "The other party deliberately gave us a chance to form a formation, didn't you notice?
It's safe, but how are we going to keep warm next? How are we going to provide food for the soldiers? The baggage troops are behind."
Yang Yuan said and looked at the Xiliang soldiers who were regrouping: "Have you seen it? The other side is regrouping. As long as there is any movement in our small circle formation, they will be dispatched.
They are forcing us to surrender. If we don’t want to surrender, we will have no choice but to die in the cold here!”
Yang Yuan was a little curious: "I really want to know how they hid on both sides without being discovered by the army scouts. There is no trace of the army's movements on both sides!"
Wherever the deputy general was excited, Yang Yuan poured a basin of ice water on him, and he was completely frozen in place.
"It won't be long before we can't help it anymore!" Yang Yuan glanced at the deputy general. The soldiers who formed the formation had passed the initial excitement. The soldiers kneeling in the snow holding shields felt that their knees were cold and the cold was eroding them.
them!
The cold wind blew over them, and Xiliang cavalry passed by from time to time, beating their shields with their long weapons. If the archers inside dared to attack.
Soon a large number of soldiers holding long bows will come over and attack the soldiers in the circular formation. If the other people in the circular formation want to move, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry holding a huge formation-breaking hammer will come over. While the horses are running fast,
Launch an attack on the circular formation.
After nearly a thousand people were killed in a row, the entire formation became quiet and the sky became a little gloomy!
Night has come!
Some Liangzhou soldiers felt that the cold was unbearable. It was better during the day, but at night, the cold would kill people!
"Vote!"
Yang Yuan touched the cold helmet and found that the helmet was covered with a layer of ice. Some soldiers could not bear it and fell to the ground.
They had to endure the cold, and they had to always pay attention to the Xiliang Cavalry, which did not give them any time to rest.
When Yang Yuan first saw the movements of the Xiliang cavalry, he knew what the other party wanted to do, but what could he do if he knew?
If they had a head-on confrontation, they still had a chance, but in this situation, they had no chance of winning.
"I'm willing to vote!"
A crying voice sounded from a small formation. The centurion of Xiaozhen knelt on the ground dejectedly, threw his weapon aside, and lowered his head to the ground. Behind him lay more than a dozen soldiers who were almost dying.
