Liu Yan's deployment of troops to the north for reinforcements will inevitably affect the overall situation. How can sun Fudu and Liu Kai, the governor of Yuzhou, who are stationed at the edge of Dongping County, be indifferent to the transfer of the Han army? They are all soldiers. Even if they are not for Yao Yizhong but for themselves, they must take the opportunity to enter the army.
Sun Fudu was reinforced by fan Tan and led 90000 people into Dongping county to fight with the Han Army in fan county (northwest of modern Liangshan).
Liu Kai gathered troops from various counties and counties in Yuzhou. A total of 130000 went out of Changyi to cross Jishui (tributary) and broke out a war with the Han Army in Jinxiang.
The Han Army in Dongping county has always been only 50000, the war troops are only 30000, and the remaining 20000 are auxiliary soldiers. The main general of the Han Army in Dongping county is Huan Wen. The chief marching officer is Xie an. There are also generals such as Zhong Hui, Li Hong, gainie, Chen Jiaju and Wang Yong. There are 7000 cavalry soldiers and 23000 infantry soldiers.
Huanwen was mainly defensive along the way. It began to build fortifications when it occupied Dongping county. Thanks to Liu Yan's consideration that Dongping county was regarded as the Western barrier in the next stage, Xuchang, the original county capital, was renovated, and a large number of "castles" were built, even one in the sub city.
Xuchang is doing it completely according to the defense level similar to Xiami. Although he only gets a buffer period of more than three months, he can't stand that the "farmers" are really good at building the city. Liu Yan spared no expense to mobilize resources, and the fortification has begun to take shape.
Huan Wen should have refused the city, but he thought he couldn't stick to it unless he had to.
Xie an considered Huan Wen's opinion and personally investigated it. He thought that fan County on the Chenzi river was a good battlefield. Huan Wen led all the cavalry and 20000 soldiers to fight, leaving 10000 soldiers and all the auxiliary soldiers to defend Xuchang.
Han soldiers are really out of work. They only need to serve all year round. They listen to the tune and go out to fight in wartime, and specialize in training in non wartime.
There is a gap between the full-time soldiers who are out of work and the soldiers of the military agricultural complex. They are proficient in everything and do nothing at ordinary times. The soldiers who only train the killing skills and the soldiers who practice in their spare time.
At this time, Huan Wen led the army two miles away from the Shijie Zhao army led by sun Fudu.
The Han army only occasionally heard the neighing of war horses, and the other soldiers were silent. Most of them were saved by Liu Yan's soldiers five years ago. First, they were baptized spiritually and knew the social status of soldiers in their later life. Then, Liu Yan gave them new life, which can be said to be Liu Yan's natural loyalty.
In real terms, Huan Wen led the army alone for the first time. Previously, he was either a civil servant or an assistant to someone in the small ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"Anshi, only by leading the army alone can we know the strength of the Han army." Huan Wen felt so much in his heart that he couldn't help comparing the Han army with the Jin army and said, "in this way, 5000 troops can be worth 30000 Jin troops. It's not weapons or armor, but the will and desire of soldiers to fight."
Xie an nodded deeply, not looking down on the Jin army, but thinking that a Han soldier is equal to six Jin soldiers. There is a gap between weapons and armor, and more is the difference in mental outlook.
"If the Jin army also adopted the 20th rank......" Huan Wen hesitated and asked, "will it change?"
"There must be changes, and the desire to fight must rise, but..." Xie an stopped for a little while with a bitter smile before continuing: "it's just that there will be some changes in spirit, but there is still a big gap in quality."
The two armies are about to fight, but Huan Wen and Xie an still have time to chat. They are more or less concerned about the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Then, only when they really integrate into Liu Yan's command can they know the horror of the Han army.
The Han Army has a very clear division of job titles, and the arms are not mixed and disorderly. The most obvious thing is that full-time combat will not do chores, but those who do chores work hard to become full-time soldiers. There is vitality everywhere. At the same time, they will also distinguish the arms of soldiers.
Thinking of Huan Wen and Xie an somewhere, they subconsciously turned their bodies and looked back
The left and right wings of the military array are equipped with cavalry. The cavalry of the Han army was divided into Armored Cavalry and heavy cavalry. There were also sudden cavalry wearing armor in the first half of the armored war horse. They were light cavalry without armor or only people wearing leather armor. There were also archers who only shoot arrows regardless of close combat.
The middle army of the military array is the infantry, and the Tower Shield soldiers and heavy infantry (big swordsmen) are arranged in the front, followed by the mixed formation of long spearmen, long spearmen, strong crossbows and strong bowmen. Some knife shield soldiers and sword soldiers are scattered in each square array.
To tell the truth, Huan Wen didn't really understand why he wanted to be divided into so many details. He witnessed the battles of those soldiers and overheard Xie an say that practice makes perfect, just like special training.
Huan Wen and Xie Anxin looked at Zhao Jun on the opposite stone tablet again.
If the Han Army pays attention to the arrangement of battle readiness, what kind of formation it should be is definitely put out when there is a chance. The Shijie Zhao army has always been in a mess.
The uniform of the Han army is uniform, and you will feel full of momentum at a glance. There are only some elite of the Shijie Zhao army who will have uniform uniform. They call in as soldiers and leave as people. Maybe the Hu people don't pay so much attention to it. The result is that no matter what kind of uniform Shijie Zhao army or the rest of the Hu people are armed, there has never been any uniform, and they wear everything, It's messy and colorful anyway.
In today's world, there are more than ten Eastern countries, and there are not many national armies that can have unified robes, The more countries (forces) with Han culture pay more attention to the unification of military uniforms, which leads to the unified military uniforms of Zhang's Liang army, Jin army, Han Army, Koguryo army and Li's Cheng Han Army, while the rest of the Hu people, such as Shijie Zhao army, Murong Yan Army, Tuoba Dai army and Xiongnu ministries, do not pay attention to it.
In addition, it must be said that the Ran's Qin army has also been pursuing unified military uniform, but ran min did not occupy Guanzhong for long, killing and destroying the original fragile production system again and again, resulting in that ran Min who wanted to unify military uniform could not do it at all.
Then there is the army of Li's Chenghan Dynasty. When it comes to the degree of Sinicization of Chenghan Dynasty, it is really quite high. Then, Sichuan and Shu have been famous for weaving since ancient times. Only then can Li's Chenghan Dynasty have enough national strength to unify the military uniform of the army. Then there is a very strange point, that is, the military uniform of Li's Chenghan army is also red and black (or gray). On the contrary, the Jin army who thinks that zhengshuo is wearing white robes, which is completely different from that of zhengshuo.
As long as you are familiar with history, you must know that since the army of the Han Dynasty chased the north, which dynasty did not use red as the main body?
On the one hand, the military array is rigorous, coupled with the uniform color of clothes, on the other hand, it is just a simple pile and colorful. There are psychological differences between the two sides before they start fighting.
Sun Fudu was just checking the manipulation of the Han Army, hoping to find flaws. He looked around and found that the formation put out by Huan Wen was very common, that is, the fish scale array formed by the combination of one small military array after another.
The fish scale array is a sense of hierarchy like fish scales. If the whole infantry is a echelon defense array, the left and right wings will become a military array with both attack and defense after being put on the cavalry.
Although sun Fudu is a member of the Jie nationality, he also knows the formation. Unfortunately, although he knows it, he can't put it out. It's not about his practical ability. The main reason is that the soldiers under his hand haven't been trained for many years.
"Attack!"
Shijie Zhao army in Dongping county has most cavalry. If they are the attacking side, they can only wave up.
Sun Fu had carefully identified it. Coupled with the corresponding intelligence, he knew that the number of crossbow men of the Han Army opposite was only about 3000. That was the best news. After all, Zhao Jun in Shijie was afraid of being shot by the powerful crossbow of the Han army.
The situation on the battlefield was the same routine at the beginning. When the attacking Shijie cavalry entered a distance of 300 steps, they were long-range attacked by the strong crossbow soldiers of the Han army. However, because there were few long-range attack troops under Huan Wen's command, the loss was actually within the tolerance of the Shijie cavalry.
The new routine took place when Huan Wen and Xie an withdrew from the formation. There were about 1000 big swordsmen wearing heavy armor, holding big broadswords, and stepping neatly across the adult wall of the formation.
Seeing that scene, sun Fudu was slightly stunned and surprised. The usual routine of the Han army before was to form a shield array and then match it with a gun array. This time, he changed his tactics?
When the stone tablet cavalry approached the Han Army 150 steps, not only the strong crossbow was diffused, but also the strong bow was flying like rain. Waiting for them to approach the Han Army within 80 steps, a few crossbow soldiers of the Han Army also joined in shooting, and more arrows were encountered in an instant. If the damage of 300 to 150 steps is one, 150 to 80 steps is three, but within 80 steps it increases to five, and that's just less than 300 crossbow soldiers joining the attack.
The first batch of five thousand stone tablet cavalry who were put into the battle array rushed sullenly in the face of the arrow rain, and nearly a thousand people were damaged. It was considered that they had stepped within 20 steps. Every stone tablet soldier riding on a war horse had a ferocious expression. Didn't they pay so heavy casualties to get close? They firmly believe that as long as they can fight close to hand to hand, they will have the hope of victory.
The big swordsmen standing in rows, each holding a big broad sword on his side, and the sword body is swinging back. This posture can easily stir the big broad sword forward, and turn the palm a little to hold the hilt. They are ready to go. With their huge bodies and heavy armor, they can't lack the exaggerated giant sword, which makes people feel very powerful.
The heavy and frequent sound of horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer, and the war drum sounded loudly. The "Han Army's power" roared by more than 20000 people rang through the wilderness. Out of the array, the big swordsmen who were ready to go slowly squatted down and became a posture of standing horse step. The stone tablet cavalry waved a wide sword at the moment of approaching.
At that moment, the broad sword waved out, and the reflected cold light exploded. In the cold light, the bodies of people and horses cut into two sections continued to appear!
