Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: As expected, it was sprayed. This time it was my brain pumping. I apologized to the second and third sons of the general staff in the group. Please let it go. In addition, the settings have been changed. See the previous chapter for details. Change, should I vote for a guaranteed monthly ticket tomorrow?

...

Muye, at the time of Yin and Zhou Dynasties, this was a place with special meaning.

"Yin Shang journey, its meeting is like a forest. It is aimed at Muye, Wei Yu Houxing..."

Being on the scene, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but resounded the high-spirited tune of "Da Ya Daming". The battle of Muye was hazy in the odes and inscriptions of the Zhou people, but behind the magnificent poetry, it was "the pestle of blood". 's fight.

In the stories circulated by the Zhao family, prisoners, servants, hundreds of workers... In just three days, Di Xin gathered a total of 170,000 people from Chaoge Wangji! Zhao Wuxi seemed to be able to see that the white phalanx of Yin Shang, which was completely rabble, stood in Muye, facing off against the red-flagged Zhou people.

At that time, the battle was fierce, as if a golden electric light flashed between the heaven and the earth, passing over the horses of Yin and Shang; it also seemed to turn into a red crow like fire, and the chariots of Ji Zhou were surrounded by the deafening screams and clanging symphonies. rise.

As a result, Yin and Shang were defeated. Zhao Wuxi's ancestor Ji Sheng's elder brother, Evil Lai, was the commander and died in this field.

Today, the blood and corpses that once covered the fields made the land more fertile, and the people of the Fan family opened up business in the middle, turning the battlefield into mulberry fields. It is a scene of idyllic poetry. Spears and mutilated bones tell of the war that happened.

After 600 years of peace in this land, another major war broke out.

There are no hills and no obstacles by Muye. On this evening, the army of Fan and Handan was followed by thousands of soldiers of the Zhao clan. Those Zhao soldiers seemed to be both numerous and martial. The cavalry Yifan and Handan armies flanked by harassment and obstruction by their speed, and the squadrons with short spears and hooks were hunting them.

After being chased two or three miles away by enemy cavalry, Liu Xiang was forced to turn around to fight.

"If you can hold out until it's dark, you might have a chance to break through and walk away..." Liu Xiang looked at the sunset that was about to sink to the west. Taking a deep breath, he began to perform his responsibilities and command the arrangement.

He bit the bullet and asked Handan to send out 2,000 soldiers each, divided into left and right flanks. Fan's car array is deployed in the middle. Fan's chariots were not many. After all, they originally came with the intention of attacking Jijin, the isolated city. Who would have thought that Zhao Wuxi would suddenly appear on the north bank of the Great River like a divine soldier.

Therefore, Liu Xiang did not dare to let people rush into the formation to die, but instead set up a defensive four martial arts formation.

time is limited. Although the chariots were regarded as fortresses, they were arranged in a disorderly manner, and it was a mess, and it could be seen that the deployment was in a hurry.

The front of the coalition forces is a concave crescent shape, concave in the middle and convex on both sides. Fan's archers, who were known for their good archery skills, were placed behind the chariot, while the armored Handan soldiers were hastily pulled out and crowded in front of the chariot without any organization. Liu Xiang planned to let the archers hide behind the car and shoot arrows in turn, suppressing the entire line of Zhao soldiers on the opposite side, while the Handan soldiers on the two flanks held long soldiers and set up their spears. Stop the terrifying Zhao cavalry assault.

At any rate, it has to be delayed until night, and as soon as it gets dark, there is a chance to break through.

However, although Liu Xiang had a good idea, once the battle began, the situation began to turn sharply.

The nearly 1,000 Fan's archers behind the car were horrified to find that Zhao Bing on the opposite side was not at all cowardly, especially the elite soldiers who were in the front. They chased after a mile away, paused for a while, and then formed a formation and carried their spears. rushed over. Its momentum seems unstoppable.

In this tense atmosphere, they didn't care to wait for the military officer to issue an order. Draw the bow and shoot the light arrow.

The archers recruited by the Fan Clan were all good shooters who were selected through the township shooting around Chaoge. In panic, their rate of fire increased greatly. A locust-like arrow appeared.

Unfortunately, this greatly reduces the accuracy and strength of the arrow.

Zhao Bing quickly entered within a hundred paces. Many people were hit by arrows, but not many died. The Zhao clan's military soldiers all wore armor, and many people also wore armors. The pointed light arrows threatened them, but it was not easy to shoot them to death. The spearmen in the front row continued to fall, but they were quickly dragged to the rear, and their own magpie healers who accompanied the army treated them to save their lives.

Hundreds of Zhao's cavalry either gathered or scattered, and after throwing a round, they rushed to the right flank to avoid the rain of arrows from the enemy.

The military pawns formed a square formation in units of 100 people, and twenty square formations were arranged in two rows and were forcibly pressed from the front. After entering the firing range, the row of armored soldiers holding the shield in front crouched down, and a thousand ballistas behind the shield aimed at the enemy who relied on the chariot barrier, thinking that they could sit back and relax.

The next moment, with the dull sound of the crossbow machine, the screams of the front line formed by the Handan soldiers had already resounded. The two thousand Handan soldiers had lost nearly 200 people, and the shields held in the first row were actually shot. Torn apart! Those who hid behind, those who wore armor rolled on the ground, and those without armor were almost swept away, and the front line seemed to be instantly thinned.

The soldiers in Handan couldn't bear it, so they left a place of corpses and retreated to the car formation, but immediately, the coalition's car formation defense line was also covered by arrows.

The arrow of the crossbow hit the car body, and there was a clanging sound like raindrops, and the scattered and flying arrows filled the ground around the feet in a blink of an eye, like a pile of feathers and weeds growing in the field, and there were also whining sounds. .

Liu Xiang, who was hiding in the back, looked terrified. This time, she had hit the iron plate. In terms of long-range firepower, Fan's proud archers could not be lifted by the dense crossbow machines and arrows on the opposite side. In the beginning, you can only rely on blind projectiles to fight back. Is this the terrible thing about Zhao's three-stage shooting and five-stage shooting?

Looking at the Zhao clan's military pawns who were pressing up, Liu Xiang didn't know what to do. Can they still block the swords, shields and spears that followed?

At the same time, without the long-range threat of bows and arrows, the Handan soldiers on both wings of the coalition also fought against the Zhao soldiers.

The battle situation on that side was not so one-sided.

...

Zhao Wuxi's idea was to concentrate the military soldiers in the center to break through first, so the two flanks were mainly composed of the right army of the Lu country. Among the right army whose armored rate was less than 30%, there were also some archers.

Among them, the archers on the right wing were led by Yan Gao, a scholar from the state of Lu in his early thirties who joined Confucius as a disciple ten years ago. But unlike Yan Hui, his fellow clan, Yan Gao had no interest in learning the etiquette of benevolence and righteousness.

Confucius was good at archery, and Yan Gao was taught by him, and his skills became more and more refined.

He became famous in the village shooting ceremony. After that, he was drafted into the army many times and became the captain of the archers.

In the eighth year of Lu Hou Song, Yang Hu attacked Qi for Jin, and Yan Gao also participated. At that time, Yanghu besieged the city gate of Yangzhou. The soldiers all sat in line, chatting and saying, "Yan Gao's hard bow weighs one hundred and eighty pounds!" It was at this time that the Yangzhou people opened the door to fight, the Lu army was in chaos, and Yan Gao had no time to retrieve the hard bow. He grabbed someone else's soft bow to shoot an arrow, and raised his hand and shot Qiu Zihao, a general of the Qi people, right between his eyebrows.

This was a great achievement, but it could not change the situation of the battle. In that battle, the people of Lu were defeated and fled. Yan Gao didn't have time to bring back the enemy's head, but instead lost his big bow.

Because he likes to brag on weekdays, the doctor he is loyal to thinks it is a lie. In the end, Yan Gao was not rewarded, but punished. He was in a fit of rage. Then he returned to his hometown to farm and hunt, and no longer applied. It was not until Zhao Wuxi became the ruler of the state of Lu that he issued a recruitment decree and asked Ran Qiu and others to recommend talents from the countryside, and then Ran Qiu recommended this out-of-field senior brother.

Zhao Wuxi was very satisfied with Yan Gao's archery skills, so he let him serve in the Right Army, commanding the archers recruited from the state of Lu, and serving as an assistant to the Wu **** crossbowmen in battle.

The people of Lu have always sought advantages and avoid disadvantages, being timid and saving face. Defending against the old enemy Qi is another matter, as is the case with most Lu people. Yan Gao had some resistance to traveling thousands of miles to fight in foreign countries, but with the encouragement of military merits and titles, Lu people from poor families flocked to him.

This time, following Zhao Wuxi back to Jin, it was the furthest Yan Gao went in his life. Although he was able to ride from time to time, like most of his fellow countrymen in the country of Lu, his feet, which already had thick calluses, also had blisters, which was painful to his heart.

Fortunately, when recruiting in the country. Zhang Zi, who was in charge of state affairs on behalf of the general, had already issued a decree and promised that this time, each person who came from the west would have half a year's tax reduction or exemption in his family, and he would be given a chance to see a doctor in the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic with a waiver of medical fees.

In addition, there are areas occupied by the Zhao family along the way, and they can be guaranteed two meals a day and rest at night. They can't keep up with the hasty march, and they can follow the rear team slowly, so they don't have too many complaints.

But after confronting the first enemy in this vast plain, I realized that it was not as simple as I imagined.

Yan Gao attacked the Wei Kingdom at the turn of the autumn and winter last year. According to his experience, he didn't even need to dispatch military soldiers. The right army and the central army dispatched soldiers to attack the Wei people's formation. Counting arrows, the guards were already in chaos. They approached thirty or forty paces, and used those iron clusters of heavy arrows that had been transported from Taoqiu and distributed to the good shooters to focus on the front row, and the ordinary guards should have fled for their lives.

Even the elites sent by Emperor Qiuri would be close to collapse after the military formation was dispatched, and they could slowly harvest the heads of those guards with a single shock with a spear.

Yan Gao had experienced more than ten battles in Jixi and Punan, but he did not encounter any effective resistance at all. I just think this is easier than his hunting in the mountains and forests, because the beasts will fight back frantically when they have nowhere to go, and those frightened guards will only be captured.

But the people from Handan and Jin on the opposite side are not the same.

While commanding his hundred-man bow team to shoot arrows at the opposite side, Yan Gao did not stop in his hand. The copper cluster light arrow is still the iron cluster heavy arrow, and if you catch it, you will shoot it at the opposite side.

This kind of situation of fighting with all his strength was something he had never encountered when fighting against the guards.

Although those people from Handan and Jin were chased in embarrassment, they were far from disintegrating. Perhaps they were trapped beasts who were forced into a desperate situation, or they shouted too many slogans for revenge for the old lord. All the soldiers and soldiers fought fiercely.

He couldn't help but sighed: "As expected of a hegemonic country, these Jin people are really tenacious, stronger than Wei people, stronger than Qi people, and their combat power is comparable to our Lu country's central army..."

Since the battle ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Yan Gao's 100-man archer team has lost six or seven people, and the Lu soldiers at the top have a higher ratio of casualties.

As an experienced veteran, he thought to himself: "If other enemies of the Zhao family have such ability, this expedition will probably exceed the three-month deadline for the expedition..."

However, these Handan people were still not as good as the right army of the Lu State. As the arrows from the enemy's central army stopped, the advantage began to gradually tilt towards the Zhao soldiers.

What's more, after so many battles, Yan Gao also had a little bit of overall awareness.

If not unexpected, the general was obviously going to play frontal oppression, while the cavalry attacked from behind. The Wei people were killed by this trick, and they lost a lot of land and cities in a few months, and they never dared to go out to fight. However, the people of Jin had the blessing of forming an alliance with the general, and have not tasted it yet?

Sure enough, just after Yan Gao's thoughts passed, there was an earth-shattering rumbling sound behind the enemy's right wing...
