The sun is rising, the autumn frost is crystal clear, and the withered autumn grass is swaying in the wind.
I don¡¯t know if it was influenced by the Han Army and the Qi Yan Allied Forces. The birds that usually like to get up early have all hid today. I only occasionally heard one or two birds chirping.
With the exciting sound of drums, the 70,000 Han soldiers who had feasted came out of the camp in an orderly manner. Twenty thousand elite Han troops were dressed in black armor and formed an elite regiment. The guards were neatly guarded under the banner of "Han".
Yang Zilu rarely rode a horse today, but stood on a chariot. On the left stood Can Zhu and Hou Xiong, and on the right stood the fierce general Mang Gao. The three of them were guarding Yang Zilu.
The remaining 50,000 Han troops were divided into three formations, with 20,000 white-clothed troops arrayed on the left, led by Xia Huhou.
Twenty thousand Han troops in khaki armor were arrayed on the right, commanded by Chou Wuyu and Jiao Shuyan, both elite infantrymen of the Han army. Among them were three thousand real heavy infantry, armed with tower shields weighing more than ten kilograms and spears ranging from four to five meters. The spears are made of fine hardwood and have been repeatedly brushed with tung oil paint. They are shiny and smooth and are difficult to cut with ordinary swords.
At the same time, in the lower part of the spear, the craftsmen absorbed the manufacturing method of long beryllium, using the large moso bamboo produced in the south as the material, and tied it with ropes soaked in tung oil, so that the spear has a certain degree of toughness. Even if the spear breaks, the lower part will not be damaged, protecting the soldier's hands from being injured by the shock force.
Although the last group had the smallest number of troops, no more than 10,000, they were all cavalry. The angry horse is dressed in bright clothes, wearing a red armor half stained with blood, and a fiery red battle robe over its shoulders. The shirt rippled in the autumn wind, making a crackling sound as if it were burning. This army stood on the far left side of the battlefield, and was more than two miles away from Xia Huhou, the left army. This position makes it easier for the lance to penetrate into the enemy's body when the cavalry thrusts. This army was led by the fierce general Yang Tugou.
Of course, Yang Tugou¡¯s army also has certain shortcomings. That is far away from the main force. But if the Qi-Yan coalition dared to send troops to attack it, it would fall into the Han army's plan. With few troops, the Han army marched on them and massacred them. If there are more troops, the ceremonial guards will move far away and harass them with bows and crossbows.
However, when Yang Zilu saw the Qilu Allied Forces emerging from the hills to the northwest, he couldn't help but frown. There are many Qi Yan coalition forces, and because they are far away, it looks like a dark and boundless area. But this is not the most eye-catching thing. What is eye-catching is that on the left side of the Qilu Allied Forces, facing the direction of the Han Army cavalry, a cavalryman with disheveled hair and clothes made of animal fur appeared.
Although the cavalry formation was scattered, they were not equipped with stirrups, only saddles. But they numbered between seven and eight thousand, and they were clearly nomads with superb riding skills.
"I'm afraid these are the cavalry that the Yan people recruited from Donghu!" Can Zhu was a little annoyed when he saw this, because he didn't know the news about the cavalry, so he could only hope that the Lord would spare him this time.
"Let's see how I deal with you after this battle! You are so arrogant! Such a huge cavalry regiment didn't even notice it!" Yang Zilu did not let Can Zhu get away with it. He glared at Can Zhu and focused on the telescope again.
Can Zhu smiled bitterly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. With the great victories of the Han Dynasty over the years, Can Zhu could not help but feel a little proud. Once a person is proud, he will inevitably despise or even turn a blind eye to many things. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Han Kingdom's Jiantai was weak in the Yan Kingdom. After all, the traditional forces of Jiantai were Chu and Qi, and other places had only penetrated into it for a few years.
After watching for a while, Yang Zilu put down the telescope and said with a stern face: "I'm afraid it won't be easy this time! Although it is difficult for seven or eight thousand people to defeat my Han cavalry, the nomads are especially good at riding and shooting. These seven or eight thousand people are entangled with my Han cavalry. There is no problem with the iron cavalry for a few hours. With this few hours, the Qilu Allied Forces will be able to give full play to their strength advantage!"
"Your Majesty, then we might as well retreat to the barracks. As long as we hold on for a few months, the Qilu Allied Forces will definitely be forced to attack. As long as they lose a large number of soldiers under the city, and we attack again, we will definitely win a big victory!" Hou Xiong suggested to Yang Zilu! road.
"No!" Yang Zilu rejected Hou Xiong without hesitation, not because Hou Xiong's words were unfeasible. It's a matter of military morale. "The big man can be defeated! But he cannot lose his military spirit!"
"It's just" Hou Xiong frowned when he saw this.
"It's not just! Send the order to the three armies! I'm here to watch them! I won't take a step back!" Yang Zilu's words were loud and indescribably firm.
After Xiong heard this, he did not dare to persuade him any more. Although Yang Zilu liked to receive advice, when he made up his mind on a certain matter, he no longer needed to persuade him.
"Promise!" The three messengers responded and immediately rushed to theThe horses have already been fed, and the horses are on their backs to maintain sufficient strength. He pinched the horse's belly with both feet, and the war horse neighed and Juechen left.
¡°If this battle is settled, there will be no Han rivals in Northern Xinjiang!¡± Yang Zilu murmured softly.
"Under the leadership of His Majesty, the Han Dynasty will definitely be able to pacify Northern Xinjiang!" Mang Gao said firmly. He did not mean it as a compliment, but out of his admiration and trust for Yang Zilu.
"I also believe that there will be no members on this day!" Can Zhu and Hou Xiong agreed in unison.
Yang Zilu nodded, said nothing, and looked at the battlefield that exuded a chilling atmosphere.
¡Zuo Jun¡
Xia Huhou nodded to the messenger and said, "Okay, you can go down! I understand what your Majesty means!"
"Promise!" the ordering soldier agreed, got on his horse, and galloped back towards the main formation.
Xia Huhou then turned around, looked at his generals, and growled: "Did you all understand what His Majesty said just now? Don't blame me, Xia Huhou, for not being merciful. I said it here, as long as there is no Got the order to retreat! Even if I hit one soldier! You all have to come to me! The captain is dead! The deputy lieutenant will lead the remaining people up! The deputy lieutenant is dead, and the captain will lead the remaining people up! And so on! Captain! Dead! Enter the deputy captain! All the deputy captains are dead! Senior commander! Fight until the last soldier is killed! Every last drop of blood is shed! If anyone dares to retreat privately! No matter who he is, even the prince , I will be the first to chop him down!"
Xia Huhou¡¯s words immediately made Zuo Jun¡¯s heart tremble. It seemed that Xia Huhou was not joking. The general immediately passed on the words, and his tone was even harsher than when Xia Huhou spoke.
People who usually like to cheat and cheat on relatives will immediately have a headache. The supervising team was also sharpening their knives, preparing to kill chickens to scare monkeys. When everyone saw this, any trace of luck they still had in their hearts was immediately thrown away to Java Island.
