Chapter 332

Throughout the main battlefield of Luoyin, the Qiang troops around the Han Army camp are mobilized very frequently. The Qiang troops in the attack position are at least about 60000, and more Qiang troops are on standby outside.

If it were not for the terrain restrictions, in fact, Yao Yizhong would like to put all the troops except the reserve team into the attack. He has been very manic recently. Of course, the reason is that sun Fudu and Liu Kai, as teammates, can't attack and become defensive. In addition, he is tortured by Liu Yan's endless cavalry.

It's really endless! No matter how many Qiang soldiers fought with the Han cavalry of about 5000 the day before, or the Han cavalry of about 5000 the next day, Yao Yizhong didn't feel so strange. He was a confused feeling of approaching madness.

The Han cavalry who went out of the camp lost nearly 4000, and the Qiang cavalry who fought against them lost nearly 13000. That's the advantage brought by Yao Yizhong's repeated compression of the activity space of the Han cavalry. If he doesn't do that, he has to make up more than what proportion.

Yao Yizhong thought again and again that the cavalry in Liu Yan's hand should not consume much. The hell is that the number of cavalry dispatched by the Han Army has not changed. Yao Yizhong will try to launch a total. That's because he found that the number of cavalry sent by Liu Yan out of the camp for the last time has reached 7000. He has become violent under the ghost mentality. In addition, there is insufficient support in blocking the two routes to help the Han army.

What is difficult to support is to block the Qiang troops that came to help the cavalry. More than 20000 Han soldiers have successfully set foot on the North Bank of Jishui along the way. There is also a Armored Cavalry outfit with a number of about 3000 on the battlefield. They wiped out more than 10000 Qiang troops fighting with them when they first came on the stage. They were so frightened that huyansheng, the leader of the war, withdrew his troops for 20 Li and urgently reported to Yao Yizhong.

It's a heavy cavalry. At present, it is recognized as the strongest army in the world. Huyansheng is really scared a little. In particular, the Huben army annihilated more than 10000 troops as soon as it came out.

Since the Han Army's armour and riding equipment have appeared, why doesn't Yao Yizhong know that if he doesn't try the general attack again, the siege will be broken through soon. He deeply believes that once there is a gap in the siege, Liu Yan will definitely choose to break out. After all, as long as he is an individual, he will not want to be surrounded.

Yao Yizhong guessed Liu Yan with a normal attitude. What I have to say is that Yao Yizhong was wrong.

Because some kinds of supplies can be obtained directly from the town center, Liu Yan's food and fodder does not depend on the logistics line. In addition, buildings such as blacksmith's shop will not lack armour equipment and troops as long as they are enough. To speak, Liu Yangen would not care whether he is surrounded or not. The only thing that will make Liu Yan feel dangerous is that he can't guard this point. As long as Liu Yan can hold on, the war of attrition and being besieged are not disadvantages at all.

Yao Yizhong was worried by an urgent mentality. He thought that he could not delay any more. The tentative general attack broke out today.

"Your Majesty, it's time to send out a cavalry." Ji Chang found Yao Yizhong's obvious intention and said slightly and heavily: "under this situation, we must seize the initiative."

That's nonsense. It's conceivable that Ji Chang felt a sense of urgency in the face of the general attack launched by Yao Yizhong.

"Our peripheral reinforcements are expected to break through the containment line." Sang Yu didn't use questions. He said seriously, "is it time to block the river?"

Liu Yan agrees with what Ji Chang and sang Yu said.

Now that there are reinforcements to break through the blocking line arranged by Yao Yizhong, Yao Yizhong's elite troops also appear. It was suspected that Yao Yizhong had not mobilized all his troops to the South Bank of the Yellow River, but now he no longer has such doubts. Then it means that Liu Yan's goal has been basically achieved, and it's really time to enter the decisive stage.

If Yao Yizhong had a choice, he would choose to enter the general attack in the middle of autumn. At present, it is the middle of summer. The livestock have not been fattened up, and the weather is really too hot. It is really not a good time to start a war.

Most of the time, there was no choice, just as Yao Yizhong had to lead his army to Qingzhou instead of waving his army to the northwest to fight with Zhang Liangguo.

"Lord, the Han army sent out cavalry, divided into two parts, one to attack the East and one to attack the south."

"Force distribution?"

"Hui Junzhu: there should be 5000 Han cavalry in the East and about 3000 Han cavalry in the south."

Yao Yizhong, who heard the report, was actually quite speechless. If he had any feelings, he broke his heart and scolded that the number of cavalry of the Han Army had increased again.

Yao Yizhong is absolutely certain that no reinforcements have broken through the siege and entered Liu Yan's camp. In this way, he only got an explanation. At the beginning, the number of Han troops was by no means 30000, and the cavalry found was not the real number Liu Yan had.

"Attack! We must attack the Han Army camp today!"

"Yes!"

Yao Yizhong's elite troops are equipped infantry, but they are not heavy infantry. In any age, they can be called armor as long as they wear iron armor, but not all armor are heavy infantry, which is related to what style of infantry they wear and how many layers of armor they wear.

The Qiang nationality can be called an elite army. There should be about 40000 troops. The source of troops is brave warriors who are tough and good at fighting from millions of Qiang people. The number of Turkistan cavalry is 4000, while the number of equipped infantry is more than 10000. The remaining 14000 weapons are relatively sophisticated, but only wearing leather armor.

Of course, 40000 is only the quantity brought by Yao Yizhong. It must be scattered everywhere, that is, the armour and equipment will not be any better.

The Central Plains was arbitrarily ravaged by the Hu people, which not only seriously damaged agricultural production, but also reduced craftsmanship productivity. More importantly, the Hu people are only reckless in mining. They rely on the Jin people for prospecting. If they want to make weapons and armor, they often have craftsmen and enough resources.

The state of Zhao in Shijie is not so much a multi tribal alliance as a state. It is more like a common alliance of Jie, Qiang and di. Although they also have a national framework, the chaotic politics and the mentality of Jie governing the Central Plains make the national strength in a declining rather than rising trend.

Yao Yizhong can also put together more than 10000 troops wearing metal, and Fu Hong of Di nationality can put together four or five thousand, even if it is the highest heaven. This is also the difference between the ethnic group's historical details and the mastery of the territory, just like the reason that the Jie nationality, as the overlord of the Central Plains, can use more resources.

The main attack position of Qiang nationality is in the north. After half a month's operation, the landform here is different from that before the war. Too many man-made fortifications seem to be disorderly, but we should carefully distinguish them, which is to leave the attack channel of cavalry.

Liu Yan sent cavalry to deal with the East and south. For the north, he could only send out infantry to attack.

Almost when the attacking Qiang troops reached a distance of about 100 steps, the roaring drum was sounded in the North Camp of the Han Army, and several gate gates were opened greatly. First, a large number of sword and shield soldiers poured out, followed by the Tower Shield soldiers as the second batch, followed by the gunmen and other arms.

The attacking Qiang troops have reached a distance of about 100 steps from the Han Army, which means that the Qiang archers have also reached their own range. At present, the battlefield is full of arrows flying back and forth like locusts, and people fall down with arrows all the time. The most terrible thing is the Han Army's crossbow, bed crossbow and stone throwing cart. Even if they form a shield array, they can't resist the thick crossbow, let alone the stone bullets.

As soon as the sword and shield soldiers leave the camp, they hold a round shield and rush directly at the enemy. The goal of the charge is the trench. When they move forward, they shoot arrows at the enemy. People fall in the middle of the charge all the time.

The Tower Shield soldiers started to form a shield array after leaving the camp for a certain distance. First, a few people formed a small shield array, and then the small shield array was combined into a large shield array. In the process, some people fell down with arrows.

When the Han army went out to fight, the Qiang troops were more happy than others. Before the Han army left the camp, the number of Qiang troops who attacked the North would not be less than 3000, and before that, they would never kill or kill more than 100 Han soldiers.

Jichang originally suggested that the riprap truck should be changed to fire oil tank, but Liu Yan did not adopt it.

Yes, the tinder tank was ready long ago, but it was never launched from the beginning to the end. They are intended by Liu Yan to be used at the most critical time. In the previous war, there has been no crisis, and there is no target worthy of fire oil cans.

"Wait for the fleet to blockade the Yellow River and cut off Yao Yizhong's retreat." Liu Yan had a cruel expression on his face and said with a grimace: "they may become the key things to force the enemy down."

Liu Yan's heart is still very big. What he wants is not only to defeat Yao Yizhong, but also not to simply annihilate. If he can force hundreds of thousands of enemy troops to surrender and make prisoners of war become labor, isn't it better than killing them all?

Of course, Liu Yan's heart is big enough, but whether the situation can develop as envisaged is uncertain.

"The progress of the war has been very fast." Liu Yan said with emotion: "on the one hand, Yao Yizhong wants to beat us quickly so as to wave the army to deal with Zhang's cool country in the northwest; on the other hand, Shi Hu keeps urging."

Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of troops dispatched by both sides. It is normal for troops of this scale to fight for several years. It is only half a month from contact to entering the decisive stage. It is extremely hasty.

"Zhang Jun took advantage." Sang Yu said with a smile, "Yao Yizhong came to Qingzhou, not to the northwest. Should we ask Liangguo for some benefits?"

Sang Yu could still laugh because he saw that his tower shield soldiers had built a shield wall with a length of about 500 or 600 meters. The shield wall was slowly pushed forward with the sound of trumpets, and the crossbow soldiers were firing crossbows and arrows.

Under the continuous coverage of the Han Army's Crossbow soldiers, the archers on the Qiang side were seriously killed and injured. The situation was that the long-range troops on the Han side were still ferociously demonstrating arrows like rain, and the long-range troops on the Qiang side were shrinking turtles.

I recommend a young book "idle people in the Southern Jin Dynasty". The author is an old author of the new Majia. His handwriting is very deep. You can go and have a look.
