"General Nangong, the Yishan cavalry has begun to retreat, and they have reorganized a defense line in the middle. We should not attack directly, otherwise, the losses will definitely be considerable."
Nangong Hao looked at the closely guarded Yishan infantry on the opposite side, and sneered: "Ask them to set up defenses wherever they are, the more the better, it is best to gather all the Yishan soldiers within a few miles. Can you guys? Don't forget, behind them, General Qin's 10,000 cavalry are already coming. In addition, there are three armies here that are really coming here. The harder we can attract them here, the better. , when they are all in a stalemate with us here, and the rest of our army comes to kill, it will be overwhelming. "
"Yes, that's it. We just need to make a gesture of attacking. Let the Yishan army guard in front of us eagerly. When the army arrives, let's see what they can do."
"Throw your spear and move forward, prepare to ride and shoot. We have to put enough pressure on them to make them ignore other aspects." Nangong Hao said in a deep voice. In addition, he also hoped to use fierce shouts of killing and the sound of charging horse hooves to cover up the movement of the incoming army from the south.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp" The spear flew over the Juma fence with a harsh whistling sound, and landed on the Yishan infantry. In an instant, the infantrymen of Yishan tribe screamed in agony, a group of soldiers fell, and the red blood gradually soaked the ground
After the Zhao Jun cavalry fired their spears, they immediately drew a circle and ran diagonally in front of the Juma, and then circled from the side again.
"Fire arrows! Shoot them to death! Shoot" Hu Cong and the Qianhu tribe of Yishan tribe saw Zhao Jun's cavalry being so arrogant. They roared sternly and asked their soldiers to shoot arrows.
¡°Whoosh whoosh¡¡±
Among the tens of thousands of foot soldiers who resisted the horses, there were as many as six or seven thousand archers. There was a rapid sound of bowstrings, and a sky full of arrows flew into the air among the Yishan infantry, overwhelming the Zhao army's cavalry.
"Defense!" Captain Wei Liang gave the order. The Zhao army cavalry took out a small round shield from behind their saddles and put it on their heads. Then they curled up their whole bodies into a ball as much as possible and huddled on the horse's back. , the small buckler combined with the horse's neck is enough to build a defensive wall to protect the cavalry.
Not only the soldiers have defenses, but also the mounts are also covered with a layer of extremely light leather armor on the vital parts of the chest and abdomen on both sides. Although other parts lack protection, their vitality is much stronger than that of humans. As long as it is not directly hit in the vital point, it is very difficult to bring down a strong war horse.
"Puff puff¡¡"
The sharp wolf-toothed arrows poured out like rain, and the mournful neigh of the war horses resounded through the sky in an instant. Dozens of galloping Zhao Jun cavalry suddenly fell down, but the surging cavalry formation was not affected at all. The rest of the arrows had almost no effect. The soldiers of Sergeant Zhao are all covered with forged plate armor, especially the vital parts of the chest and abdomen, which are difficult to be damaged by swords. Unless shot directly in the face, the rest will basically only be injured but not fatal. Here, Zhao's soldiers all wear silk underwear internally, which can effectively prevent arrow clusters from being punctured. In addition, the arrows made by the Yishan tribe are extremely crude and simple. After all, the Yishan tribe also lacks iron products, let alone sophisticated weapons. Therefore, Zhao Jun suffered very few casualties when faced with the arrows of the Yishan tribe.
"Shoot at their horses, shoot the horses!" Qianhu Bahaci shouted sharply. He could see that the armor on Sergeant Zhao's soldiers was extremely sharp.
Immediately, Yishan's arrows immediately changed their targets and shot at the horses of Zhao Jun's cavalry. This caused Zhao Jun's casualties to suddenly increase. After all, when the horse falls to the ground while running rapidly, it is difficult for the soldiers to avoid injury.
"Don't get too close. Let's suppress them with bows and arrows and let the brothers build up momentum. I want to see what their expressions will be like when General Qin's army comes out from behind." Nangong Seeing the casualties gradually increasing, Hao said in a deep voice.
The cold wind is howling, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, the snowflakes are rolling in, and the sky is dim.
"Xi Lv Lv"
Amidst the endless neighing of war horses, ten thousand cavalry slowly spread out in the vast white wilderness and began to approach the southern area of ????Yishan. The chilling aura spread coldly between the heaven and the earth, and the sharp horizontal knives reflected the cold sky, echoing the white and cold earth.
"General Nangong's troops are fighting with the Yishan tribe in the north. Now is a good time for us to attack. Order the whole army to speed up the charge and defeat the enemy with one blow. We will join up with General Nangong." Qin Daolin glanced at Bai Bai, who was several miles away. In the vast Yishanbe camp, he said in a cold voice, "Anyone who dares to resist, regardless of gender or age, will be shot to death."
"kill¡¡"
"Woo woo woo"
A low horn sound suddenly sounded, and the white knightThe array emerged from the vast white wilderness. In the southernmost station, there were more than a hundred patrol soldiers and hundreds of Yishan tribesmen who were nervous because of the battle in the north and deliberately came out to check. Under the horrified eyes, a large white wave rolled in at the limit of vision. But the red flag in front of the big wave told them that these were the Zhao cavalry that made them frightened. The heavy subway hooves hit the hard ground, causing billowing waves of snow
"It's the Great Zhao Cavalry"
"Quickly, inform Master Qianhunotify the leader"
"Blow the horn for help"
"Woo"
"Puff puff puff" Before the patrolling knights blew their horns, they were covered by a hail of arrows. More than a hundred Yishan tribe cavalry and hundreds of Yishan tribesmen instantly became hedgehogs everywhere
At the center of the army, Qin Daolin gently stopped his horse and looked at the soldiers who had already charged in, with a ferocious look on his face. The cold wind howled and rolled up pieces of snowflakes, but the generals of the Zhao army did not pay attention. A red flaming unicorn flag fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound.
"Go down with the order and charge directly into the formation. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy! All yurts blocking the road will be burned! Join General Nangong at the north gate as quickly as possible to disperse the main force of the Yishan tribe." Qin Daolin said coldly.
With the military order, wild howls rose into the sky, and ten thousand cavalry rolled forward like a tide.
"Damn Zhao Gou! Fight with them." Because most of the warriors in the southern Qianhu garrison were transferred to the north to fight against the enemy, the southern garrison is now all ordinary tribesmen.
"I don't know whether to live or die!" Captain Yang Qiu said disdainfully, "Just you? The general has an order that anyone who dares to resist, regardless of age or sex, will be killed without mercy! Fire arrows!"
¡°Whoosh¡¡±
¡°Whoosh¡¡±
¡°Whoosh¡¡±
Amidst the piercing sound of flying through the sky, cold arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, mercilessly piercing into the bodies of the Yishan tribesmen, whether they were old people or children, men or women. In just a moment, hundreds of Yishan tribesmen who were intercepting Zhao Jun fell in a pool of blood wailing. Very few Yishan tribesmen were able to fire arrows back, but they did not cause any casualties to Zhao Jun.
The deaths of hundreds of people made the remaining Yishan tribesmen suddenly wake up. They realized that they were facing the majestic Zhao Army cavalry, not the Liangzhou people who had been bullied by them in the past. However, hundreds of people are just a small part of them. Ten thousand cavalry charged, and in just a few moments, thousands of ordinary Yishan tribesmen were killed. Later, the Zhao army set fire to the yurt and burned everything
Although the Yishan tribe are nomadic people, they are good at archery and can shoot arrows at a very young age. But now, had to endure the ravages of Zhao Jun's arrow rain. Zhao Jun had Yishan tribe warriors as the backbone and an interception team organized by ordinary people of Yishan tribe in front of the Zhao army. If the Yishan tribe wanted to stop Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun would naturally break through. Although the Yishan tribesmen tried their best to intercept, how could they be the opponent of the charging Zhao Army cavalry? They were either killed by Zhao Jun's arrows, or were knocked away by Zhao Jun's horses and became dead bodies on the ground
"We surrender"
"We are willing to surrender"
Soon, after the Yishan tribe¡¯s cavalry was killed during the interception, seeing Zhao Jun¡¯s prestige, the ordinary Yishan tribe¡¯s tribe became frightened and surrendered
"Get out of the way, put down your weapons, kneel down and wait for processing Anyone who dares to make any move will be shot without mercy!"
Wherever Qin Daolin's troops attacked, there was no defense. In just one stick of incense, the entire three thousand-household settlements in the southern part of Yishan were already engulfed in flames. In the pure white sky and earth, the red flames and the black smoke pillars are so obvious.
At this moment, Hu Cong, who was located in the north, had received news that Zhao Jun's army was also coming from the south. At this moment, he finally understood why the Zhao Jun on the opposite side did not take action even though he could have attacked from other directions. It turned out that the Zhao Jun on the opposite side was. In order to allow himself to gather his army again, it would be easier for Zhao troops from other directions to attack the camp.
"Chief, withdraw. The entire north and south of the garrison have been invaded and burned by the Zhao army. It seems that they are determined to encircle and suppress us. We can no longer stay here. Otherwise, we will face the situation of being attacked from both sides. Qianhu Heyu said in shock.
"Withdraw?" Hu Cong glanced at He Yu coldly, "This is our last station and our root. Where else can we withdraw? Our people are all here, you want me to withdraw? Without these People, what do we have left? How far can we retreat if the Zhao army¡¯s cavalry is so fast?¡±
Qianhu Louyu said: "Chief, the Zhao cavalry must be exhausted after coming from afar. If we evacuate, they will definitely?Unable to pursue. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won¡¯t have to worry about having no firewood. If we really all die here, there will be nothing left. Lord, didn¡¯t Liangzhou Governor Situ Fei accept us? Why don't we take the warriors and people who can ride away and retreat to Liangzhou? When he rises again in Liangzhou one day, he must make Zhao Jun look good and avenge today. "
¡°Rumble¡¡±
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the east, shaking the whole place.
"Okay great, the Eight Banners soldiers on the east road have also felt it. Brothers, use the thunder to defeat them in one fell swoop!" Nangong Hao ordered with a smile.
The previous rumbling sound was the sound of sky-shaking thunder. Nangong Hao's troops also carried sky-shaking thunder. However, the number of each unit was not large. In addition, only Nangong Hao's group arrived at the beginning, so they were not used. According to the previous agreement, only after at least three armies have arrived can the sky-shattering thunder be used to defeat the enemy. After all, if the quantity is too small, the effect will not be great.
"The army charges! Kill me!"
"Kill" the soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison.
In an instant, 20,000 troops poured in from north to south like a tide.
¡°Light a fire and throw thunder!¡± Nangong Hao shouted loudly. The five thousand cavalrymen at the front hung their spears and horizontal knives on their saddles one after another, and took out the thunderbolts one by one from the sides of their horses.
There was no direct collision of iron and blood. When the Zhao army's cavalry was still fifty steps away from the infantry formation, it had already begun to split into two and circled towards both sides of the horse-rejecting formation and the infantry formation. The cavalrymen, who were running parallel to the Juma and infantry formations, all threw the sky-shattering thunder packs in their hands into the Yishan tribe's infantry formation.
In order to defend against the Zhao cavalry's charge with superior weapons, the Yishan tribe had gathered tens of thousands of infantry together and squeezed them into several dense formations that could not be more dense. All the infantry, people are next to each other, and people are crowded together. This kind of array is really the final target for Zhentian Lei.
One after another, flaming or earth-shaking thunderbolts were thrown into the formation by the cavalry who were passing by.
"What is this?" Yishan tribe obviously does not know about the weapon Zhentianlei, so
"Boom, boom" One thunderbolt after another sounded in the infantry formation, and the five thousand cavalry brought more than 10,000 small thunderbolts. Like pouring out, the tight infantry phalanx was instantly destroyed. A piece of black smoke also rose above the entire sky.
In the light of the fire, countless broken spears and broken limbs flew into the sky. The blood of the soldiers who died in the explosion spilled from the air, and there were bursts of blood rain. This time, the interception defense of Yishan Department was directly destroyed.
There were countless corpses lying among the broken limbs and broken guns all over the ground. Among the more than 20,000 people at the front, nearly half were killed and injured, and most of the rest were stunned and confused. Basically, they were gone. A soldier who can stand firm.
The road was opened, the way for Zhao Jun to advance was opened, and the soldiers of Yishan tribe were frightened and overwhelmed by the weapon in the hands of Zhao Jun, and completely lost their will to resist.
"The whole army charges!" Nangong Hao waved his spear and shouted sternly.
The remaining fifteen thousand cavalry began to accelerate again, galloping, running, and charging quickly! This time is a real charge. No matter how strong the infantry formation is, once it is broken, what is left is just a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Boom" At the same time, the south, east, and west gates all remembered the loud noise that shook the sky. It was obvious that the Zhao army appeared on all sides.
"It's over! I, the Yishan Department, are over!" Looking at the Zhao Jun cavalry approaching from the front, and seeing that the soldiers under his command had lost their will to resist, he muttered in despair.
Compared to Nangong Hao's attack on the north, the south, east and west were invincible. He threw a few thunderbolts at will. Wherever they went, the Yishan tribesmen knelt down and asked to surrender. The armies from three sides rushed to the central part, forming a large encirclement, and began the final siege of the Yishan tribe.
"Chief, what should we do?" Qianhu Louyu asked in a trembling voice. At this moment, Lou Yu, who was usually calm, was also stunned by the weapon in Zhao Jun's hand. At this moment, his ears were still buzzing, and his mind was blank. It can be said that at this moment, he has lost the confidence to fight to the death with Zhao Jun.
Of course, the main reason why Zhao Jun¡¯s Sky-shaking Thunder was able to defeat the tens of thousands of Yishan soldiers in front of them and lose their confidence was because it was unexpected. If Hu Cong, the leader of the Yishan tribe, had not gathered tens of thousands of soldiers together in order to stop Nangong Hao, Nangong Hao would not have defeated 20,000 infantry in one fell swoop. This also caused the remaining soldiers to panic at the scene in front of them. Of course, if the remaining soldiers came from other places to cover up the attack, Nangong Hao's troops would have no choice but to fight head-on. It's a pity that these soldiers were all shocked by the scene before them.shocked.
"Withdraw let's go to Liangzhou!" Hu Cong said in a deep voice.
"Pfft"
"You" Hu Cong looked at the tip of the sword on his chest, turned his head and stared at Qianhu Bahaci, his eyes wide open.
"I want to live, and your head is the best gift! Damn, they said not to fight Zhao Jun, but you just can't bear to give up your rights. Now that it's better, it's hard to save everyone's lives." Qian Hu Bahachi waved his hand and pulled out the long sword from Hu Cong's body, and said in a hateful voice.
He couldn't help but hate it. If he had surrendered directly, as a Qianhu, he would have been able to obtain a title and live a good life in Da Zhao. But now? Even life may not be saved.
"Hu Cong is dead, we surrender!" Qianhu Bahachi held up the head of Hu Cong, the leader of the Yishan tribe, and shouted loudly.
With the tribe leader dead, Zhao Jun surrendered wherever he went. However, there are still many hard-liners. For these people, the officers and generals of the Zhao army all carried out the military orders of killing without mercy.
With the Yishan tribe gone, what will happen to the other tribes? They were all shocked by Zhao Jun's strength. The Yishan tribe was the largest tribe among the Qiang and Hu tribes, but it disappeared overnight, let alone them? If you surrender, you can still have a good death. If you fight to the end, you will die without a place to die. These tribes surrendered one by one.
When the good news about the war between the Qiang and Hu tribes reached Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun was also very happy and immediately ordered a heavy reward for the soldiers of the tribes in the Northern Fortress. Later, Zhao Xun ordered that the refugees accepted by Bingzhou begin to move to the Beisai area, and the Qianghu people in the Beisi area were completely divided into various parts and relocated to various places.
In the end, Zhao Xun named the land in Beisai Xiazhou and established another state. He planned to expand Xiazhou into a real big state after expanding northward. After all, Zhao Xun's future goal is to continue to expand northward. This single region will also expand into a large state in the future.
The three armies of Li Chenfeng, Qin Daolin, and Xue Qinglan also temporarily rested in Xiazhou, defending against the Turks in the north and Liangzhou in the southwest. Of course, they can also turn defense into offense at any time.
