Chapter 975: The Liangmang Army fought fiercely in Liuzhou, and the war in Laoye Mountain was in a stalemate
Modao emerged in the Spring and Autumn Period and Southern Tang Dynasty, weighing more than 50 kilograms, and was made of fine iron. Non-ranked military soldiers were allowed to hold them. At that time, there were more than 70,000 soldiers and horses on the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only more than 2,000 Modao soldiers. Their combat power was so strong that they were once praised by the whole country of Southern Tang as the king of white blades. They believed that if they could gather ten thousand Modao to form a formation to guard the national gate, they could stop 10,000 Iron Cavalry invasion in the south. After Gu Dazu, the first general of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, followed the then Prince Xu Fengnian of Beiliang, entered Beiliang, in addition to being the deputy commander of the infantry army, with the strong support of the young vassal kings, Gu Dazu begged to help the Mo family create a new style of Modao to qualify the Beiliang border army in the future. Compared with the fifty-jin Modao of the Southern Tang Jianzhang in history, the northern Liang men are stronger in size and have greater strength, the well-deserved horse-killing saber, which is more heavy, was named “Sixty Knife” by Song Changsui, a Mo family’s jutsu. It’s a pity that the construction started before the first Liangmang battle began, and it has only tried its best to create more than a thousand pieces. Moreover, it is difficult to have a place to use it on the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass. Then Xie Xiqiu asked for it all.
In addition, there is the eight hundred long spear. These step spears are more expensive than the Modao, and they are rare enough to be shocking. A family without a military family cannot use a horse lance. This is an iron rule that the horse lance has existed since its birth. First, because no matter whether it is a horse or a staircase or a staircase, it is extremely difficult to use, and ordinary cavalry will only add to the use of it. Second, it took a very long time and was incredible in its fine workmanship. It is known to build a spear for at least three years. It has always been the first favorite of the Central Plains cavalry generals who have never been able to find it. It is even more difficult to find than a good horse worth a thousand gold.
The eight hundred stair spear was ordered by the young vassal king himself, almost equivalent to a number that was gathered after he had exhausted all the Xu family’s family. If it weren’t for the Northern Liang army’s laws that the cavalry generals would not allow themselves to use spears with their own status, and Xu Xiao, who was used to hard life and was afraid of poverty, intends to collect long spears in the Hyogo people in the late stage of the Spring and Autumn War, otherwise it would be a delusion.
In the corridor, this Liuzhou infantry formed by monks from Mount Lanta, resisted the horses in a strong battle.
The front is the spear facing outward, the cold light is like snow!
Three hundred people are in a horizontal lineup, and three rows are arranged.
The first team knelt with a spear, raised the long spear forward. The second team has a long spear in front of the flat spear, and the third team has a spear on the shoulders of the soldiers in front of the team, and is also tilted forward.
In front of the three rows of spear tips, there were actually two rows of strong monk soldiers with hands and shoulders pressing against the huge shield.
After the horse spear resisted the horse, there were two hundred people in each row of tall monk soldiers, holding eight hundred swords of horses.
The war is imminent, and eight hundred people sit on the ground to rest. Even the Beimang Cavalry sounded the charge horn. Before receiving the order from the main general, eight hundred Mo Dao’s hand is still not allowed to hold the knife and must accumulate physical strength to the greatest extent.
Once the long spear-repelling warriors all died, they would have to line the walls and move forward.
Gu DazuI once said boldly that before my Nan Tang Modao, my people and horses were broken!
After that, there were two thousand Liuzhou border troops accompanying the monks, plus three thousand monks from Mount Lanta, equipped with five thousand hard bows and crossbows.
In the infringement formation, the first thing that really blocked the cavalry’s charge against the enemy cavalry was actually these five thousand crossbowmen with the back of the formation.
After Xie Xiqiu ordered the formation of a horse to resist the horse, he did not continue to stop at the end of the stairs formation. Instead, he dismounted and walked to the crossbowman and took off the shield hanging on the side of the saddle. Then he stood in front of the stairs formation formed by the remaining monks and soldiers.
The Beimang Cavalry, which was whistling like thunder, and the Liuzhou staircase formation that was silent as mountains, divided life and death in this unknown corridor.
In later historical books, whether they are rich in color or light in the past, they will make a decision on the battle of “six battles and six delinquency”.
The tragic war is beyond words, and it is beyond words!
After Beimang served as the imperial tutor of this dynasty under the Taiping Order, how to attack the giant city of the giant city, which was hard to overcome, was no longer the same as before. In the first Liangmang Battle, Dong Zhuo captured Hutou City, the first town in the border area of Liyang, and even broke into Youzhou’s gourd mouth and Luanhe City, which are clear evidence. Not only that, the grassland cavalry, which aims to annex the Central Plains, has also studied deeply in recent years how to break through the dense stair formation. Chun Nabo Tuoba Qiyun has great experience in this. Before this, this person formally joined the army, the emperor and his ministers reported to him in a gray discussion. He specifically talked about the cavalry and infantry battle and was meticulous, which made the Queen Beimang, who was familiar with military affairs, admired him very much.
Under the promotion of Taiping Ling’s opposition, almost every ten thousand men’s commander would have one or two military aides from the Xijing Cardinal Hall. Most of these characters are not very old for many years. They are the kind of scholars who brought to the Southern Dynasty by Hong Jiabei. They are the scholars who have been rooted in the grassland and have been farmed and passed down to the third generation. There are also young and strong Qie Xue Wei who came from Beiting, the grassland, but not many. Most border generals scoffed at this and regarded it as the military supervisor who embroidered the pillow. The top powerful people in the Southern Dynasty who were truly willing to pay attention to this group of young people actually include, such as the General Yang Yuanzan, who unfortunately died in the Hulukou, Youzhou. At that time, Yang Yuanzan was surrounded by a large number of young handsome men who were first trained by the Xijing Cardinal Hall, with as many as a hundred people, but they were all reduced to the bones that were built into Jingguan. Although the old woman finally exchanged the body of Liu Jinu of Hutou City for several heads, including Yang Yuanzan, she showed rare stinginess and harshness in the matter of Yang Yuanzan’s posthumous title after dying for the country on the battlefield, and did not even do the trick of symbolizing the order to appease the children of the Yang family. It is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor even pointed to the head of the old coach in the lime box and told Taiping Ling who was standing beside him that Old Yang should indeed die, destroying my ten-year foundation!
When the five 1000-strong commanders of the Southern Dynasty met to discuss whether to fight this battle, a cardinal man with low rank, with the description of the horse gallery, tried his best to divide the troops into two groups, including 30,000 cavalry to attack the corridor with the help of 30,000 cavalry., 20,000 cavalry detoured south to rescue Laoyi Mountain. Only one of the five Beimang generals from different military passes agreed, and the other four refused this overly conservative proposal. The middle-aged cavalry general from Maolong Military Town was known for his violent personality in the Southern Dynasty. He leaned over and pointed at the young man’s nose with a horse whip, calling him a thing that had not even grown all the eggs. He didn’t know how fast soldiers were. He also asked the young man sarcastically, “You kid, can you be a spy installed by the Northern Liang border army in our Southern Dynasties.” The only elderly man who recognized the cautious proposal of the young man was so embarrassed that he was about to speak to smooth things over, when he heard the other three mans who had relatively strong positions and were more powerful laughed. The grassland man, especially the athletes in the army, has always believed that they can be killed but not humiliated. The young man whose father died in battle outside Beiliang Pass was so angry that his eyes were red and he almost bit his teeth. In the end, he took the initiative to be the vanguard of the cavalry. Before he got on the horse and left, he sneered and said: After I die, I will watch how the generals die in the underworld.
The four ambitious chiefs didn’t care at all. After reading a few ragged books, young people who didn’t know the world were willing to die. They were too lazy to stop them, and they were all too lazy to stop them. But just after the two thousand vanguard cavalry hit a wall, all the ten thousand captains began to realize that the situation was not good. It is not that they are not sure about abandoning the natural mobility brought by the war horses. They are not a pity to break the stair formation with the cavalry head-on. The cavalryman must die in the collision course, but even the oldest ten thousand men, they did not expect that the defense of the stair formation could be so amazing.
If the five thousand ban Zhan Qiang Bows and Liangzhou crossbows hiding behind the horse-rejecting formation were like a pouring rain after the volley, then more than a thousand cavalry of the two thousand cavalry rushed to the wall, and the bloody scene of the men and horses killing instantly, which made the ten thousand men who saw the bloody battlefield still shocked. Those two thousand elite cavalry were undoubtedly two thousand dead soldiers. Almost everyone knew that the charge would die. At the edge of the range of the crossbow, they began to accelerate forward. The more than a thousand cavalry that avoided the rain of arrows were actually the most powerful and the speed was the most powerful. One cavalry hit the formation, and with the inertia brought by the galloping of the war horse, the terror of the huge impulse was self-evident.
As a result, more than a thousand dead soldiers, people and horses, all died in battle under the long spear!
No less than 600 cavalry and horses were directly penetrated by long spears.
The most terrifying thing is that the second group of cavalry is almost visible to the naked eye. Those strange-style extremely long “gun spears” show incredible terrifying resilience. After piercing through the corpses of war horses that are tantamount to suicide, most of them only bend without breaking before pulling out the corpses. For example, the ordinary cavalry of the Southern Dynasty border troops were mostly given a cavalry spear, which often broke into pieces after one or two charges. Only the elite elites of the generals such as Dong Zhuo, Liu Gui, and Yang Yuanzan, who used iron spears to chisel formations were of excellent material, could they repeatedly collide the formation without breaking. But as a skilled grassland cavalry, they all know that even the one under Murong Baoding, the Orange State holds the festival order.The Donglei Spirit Cavalry and the spear are definitely not as good as the one in the hands of this Liuzhou monk infantry… unreasonable!
Although these two thousand cavalry were a little timid, no one dared to turn the horse head and retreat without authorization before the horn of withdrawal sounded behind him.
It is not that everyone in this group of cavalry was willing to sacrifice their lives, nor that they were completely unafraid of death. Although the Southern Dynasties’ border troops were not as good as the Xu family in the Northern Liang Dynasty, they retreated on the battlefield, which not only affected their superiors directly under the jurisdiction, but also affected their entire family. They were really unable to tolerate their timidity and cherish their lives.
During the charge of the two thousand cavalry, the Liuzhou step formation in his vision slowly moved backwards for more than ten steps. The shield formation was like a wall, the steps and spears were still in the forest, and the shooting was still like rain.
The young Xijing aide who died in the battlefield when he was young. Before the step back, both the man and the horse were hanging on a tilted stair spear, like a scarlet gourd, which was both ridiculous and tragic. Before his chest and his mount were penetrated by a long spear, he tried his best to reach out to hold the spear, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if there was something to say, but he could not speak.
