The devil is coming

Chapter 517
Liang Cheng rode his horse and came to Uncle Zheng.
ceremonial way;
"Lord, everything is in order, please give the order."
Uncle Zheng nodded slightly,
Road:
"let's start."
Lightly, in one word.
The Savage King needs to give a speech to the savages before the war, so that their brains will be affected by excitement, so that they can overcome people's instinctive fear of death in a short period of time, making them become war beasts who are not afraid of death and pain.
In fact, Uncle Zheng used to do similar work.
Since it is a totem, since it is a mascot, it must be taken out for a walk and talk before the war begins, so as to strengthen the soldiers' faith and instill some murderous spirit in them.
but,
right now,
no need.
Because the soldiers and horses of Xue Customs have matured.
The blind man held meetings every now and then, Liang Cheng's strict training, Xue Guan's guidance on the pace of life, the sense of belonging and honor, etc., etc., had already made this army no longer need any blood before the war.
They know what they want to do and what they should do.
From now on, unless there is an extremely critical situation, Uncle Zheng will no longer have to shout slogans to boost morale.
The kind of scene where people often drink and throw bowls and swear oaths,
It often happens to the rough and treacherous people in the world or the mob.
The real elite,
A true cavalryman,
According to the order,
Be invincible!
"Subordinates obey!"
Liang Cheng is still commanding the troops. The stakes in this battle are very important. All the troops in Dayan are holding the battle for him, and he must not make any mistakes.
Therefore, it is more secure to leave it to Liang Cheng.
Furthermore, charging into a stronghold is not like fighting in the field. With Uncle Zheng's current level, his field command ability is not intimidating. When charging into a stronghold, it is often necessary to quickly fine-tune one's own side based on the situation in the opponent's formation.
Therefore,
Take a step back and say,
Uncle Zheng, who would not come forward unless absolutely necessary but would stay behind to watch the Sword Master from A Ming to the right.
That's a crappy command!
Liang Cheng raised his sword, and there were three flag-bearers on each side of him.
"rise!"
Flags waving.
For a moment, the chilling sound of the reins and the armor rubbing against each other could be heard.
"Out of the way!"
The front army started to mention horse speed, the middle army followed up, and the rear army also started to mention it.
In addition, there are hundreds of cavalry on each wing divided into queues. Their mission is to create pressure on the east and west sides of the military stronghold. If they are left alone, they can also use ropes to pull out the stronghold or simply dismount and roll over. Therefore, It is impossible to ignore it, as this can also disperse the defenders' strength.
Since ancient times, no matter whether it is to attack a city or to take out a stronghold, there has never been a single attack on one side. Encircling three and missing one is encircling three and missing one. But when really attacking a city, several sides will still be taken care of, except for the side. The focus is just different.
And if the defenders are really negligent or discover a loophole in the defense, it is normal for the feint attack to immediately turn into a main attack.
Uncle Zheng rode Pixiu and stopped in place.
Behind him, two flag bearers stood, holding the flag of his uncle Hirano.
On the left and right are A Ming and Juggernaut.
The sword master looked at the scene of galloping soldiers and horses in front of him and said subconsciously: "There is actually a huge gap between soldiers and horses. If I had faced such a cavalry under the Snow Customs in the past, I would..."
"Can't you kill Grimu?" Uncle Zheng asked with a smile.
"I can still kill them, but I probably won't be able to kill so many savages. In the end, I won't be able to come out alive."
To put it bluntly, the savages were already frightened because of the occupation of Snow Customs at that time. In addition, the troops under Grimm were originally the savage rear army, and their quality was not good. The real elites were taken by the savage king to confront them on the east bank of Wangjiang River. .
Uncle Zheng nodded slowly and said:
"I have seen a real cavalry siege master."
Shatuo Queshi was forcibly ground to death by the Zhenbei Army's cavalry.
It was precisely because of the Shatuo Queshi incident that Uncle Zheng realized one thing clearly, that is, the more elite cavalry around him, the better!
There is too much uncertainty in simply improving one's own strength and then driving the strength of the demon kings to improve, but with enough soldiers and horses under his command, those so-called masters are not so scary.
Of course,
The sword master is now by his side when he goes to the battlefield, and lives next door to him when he comes home. There is no need to say that he feels safe.
The vine-armored soldiers in Yangshan Village were already in full formation.
The Chu people focused on infantry, and the Bai Pu Bai family's rattan armored soldiers had long been adapted to the terrain on the edge of the swamp to exterminate water bandits. It had just rained a few days ago, and it had only cleared up today, so the mud in the low-lying areas in front of the military camp was actually Their favorite way of fighting.
The armor on their bodies is made of a unique kind of rattan that grows near Daze in Changxi County. It is extremely light and has strong toughness. It is wrapped with a single layer of cloth armor inside. The defense is really not weak. , and most importantly, the lightweight armor allows them to travel and move more effortlessly in muddy environments.
"shield!"
"Dong dong!"
The shield soldiers raised their shields and formed a formation.
In fact, the real foundation or mainstay of the infantry phalanx is the shield phalanx. After they have laid the foundation, the other arms will depend on them to coordinate in front, rear, left, and right.
Without a solid phalanx of shield soldiers to back it up, the entire infantry phalanx is like rootless duckweed and cannot stand up at all.
"Spear, in!"
"Dong dong dong! dong dong dong! dong dong dong!"
The spearmen came forward, the first row squatting and erecting their spears, while the second row raised them.
"Knife, right!"
"Dong-dong-dong-dong! Dang-dong-dong-dong!"
The axemen stood behind the shield soldiers, stuck between the shield soldiers and the crossbowmen. Their role was to step forward and kill the cavalry after the spearmen blocked them.
In fact, among the phalanx, the ones with the highest armor coverage and the most bravery are often the axemen.
Spearmen are more often expendable. They face the cavalry attack at the forefront. Even if the spears in their hands are successful, they themselves will probably be knocked away by the galloping horses, and they will either die or be maimed.
Then, the axemen will step forward to be responsible for harvesting. At the same time, if the second group of spearmen does not come forward to replenish the spearmen, the axemen will act as the first line of defense for the next attack.
Therefore, in most armies, spearmen are used as auxiliary soldiers. Sometimes, they are even served by civilians. It is cheap for nothing else.
Of course, nothing is absolute. It is said that the spearmen in the ancestral army in the southeast of Qian Kingdom bear more functions.
But what to say,
Facing a cavalry-based opponent like Yan State, the fate of the first row of spearmen is often doomed to be tragic.
Chi Mingyi's vine armor soldiers were arrayed in the camp, because Yangshan Village was originally responsible for the central operation. Therefore, it was not like the rammed earth wall that was originally planned to build a city but was not built in the west as a support. The east side can be arranged with several fences and trenches.
Because you have to allow the moving grain, ordnance, and even soldiers and horses to come in and out of you quickly, so the front door is actually the weakest point in the fortification defense.
There is nothing you can do about it, it is a military stronghold, not a castle;
Furthermore,
The Yan people did arrive before dusk yesterday, but after arriving, the Yan people's harassment never stopped.
Although Chi Mingyi knew that this was probably a tactic by the Yan people to exhaust their troops, he did not dare to bet, just in case it came true!
On the battlefield, are there any more things that are true and false?
Therefore, the garrison at Yangshan Village hardly slept a wink last night.
But fortunately, it was just one night. There was a problem, but it wasn't too big.
Moreover, the Yan people launched their attack early in the morning. Although this was the time when the soldiers were most tired and sleepy, they could still overcome it. If the Yan people really wanted to be harassed day and night for several days, that person would really be unable to bear it. .
In fact, it was not that Liang Cheng didn't want to do this. To win at the minimum cost has always been the purpose of Xueguan Customs with a small business mentality. However, Yan Jun did not have enough time.
"My sons, let Yan Gou taste the power of our Changxi men!"
"Boom!"
"drink!"
"Boom!"
"drink!"
Waves of shouts accompanied by drum beats came from the army.
Chi Mingyi is still very satisfied with his own morale. He is glad that the Yan people attacked early, but at the same time he is also confused. It stands to reason that he lit the smoke to warn yesterday. The general should know about it and may be waiting. ;
But since early in the morning, after discovering that the Yan people were really ready to launch an attack, Yangshan Village immediately lit up a beacon again and sent out Xinqi to report to the rear.
Can be biased,
It’s already here,
The Yan people have all had breakfast, formed formations, and launched a charge.
Why are the friendly forces still missing?
You know, Yangshan Village is not isolated and helpless, it is actually protected in the center.
"Boom boom boom!!!!!!!"
The horse's hooves are like thunder and its aura is amazing.
It pulled Chi Mingyi's mind back. In any case, although the reinforcements did not come, the number of Yan people was much smaller than expected.
When Jing Renli came a few days ago, he brought the military orders and messages from the general. Chi Mingyi was mentally prepared to be surrounded by [-] Yan troops or even more. At present, the size of the Yan army is only over [-]. , the pressure is not as great as imagined.
also,
Ha ha,
Chi Mingyi, who was standing on the tower, cast his eyes on the muddy depression in front of the military camp.
He knew that once the horse's hoof sank in, it would be very easy to sprain the horse's leg. No matter how sharp the Yan people's cavalry was, they would not be able to regain their arrogance in this quagmire.
immediately,
Chi Mingyi looked at the east and west camps one after another. There were also Yan cavalry raiding there.
Ugh,
Chi Mingyi sighed slightly in his heart,
His own troops are still not enough.
To be on the safe side, he was not going to risk his Tengjia soldiers taking the initiative to attack when the Yan people were in the quagmire. It was more important to save the camp.
But come to think of it,
The Yan people, who lost their sharp horses and marched in the quagmire like old farmers, still wanted to forcefully continue the attack.
You will deeply understand the power of his Chu infantry phalanx!
The drumbeats of the Chu army began to become more and more dense as the Yan army got closer.
The defenders in the village seemed to be breathing in sync at this moment. Everyone might have clenched their spears, axes, or shields in their hands, waiting for the Yan people's attack.
It has to be said that since the Yan people defeated the Qian Kingdom's Northern Expedition a hundred years ago, the Yan Iron Cavalry has become a lingering shadow over the heads of other countries in the east.
Chi Mingyi gritted his teeth silently, raised his arms, and was always ready to issue orders.
however,
Just when the Chu army was ready,
suddenly,
The Yan army that was charging ahead actually started to turn.
The front army directly divided into two columns and began to turn around.
The Chu army, which had adjusted its energy and spirit to cope with the Yan people's attack, now really staggered as if it had exerted all its energy but punched the cotton.
Even Chi Mingyi on the tower swayed slightly when he saw this.
Yan people,
Is this a feint?
But your side is well prepared, and your side is still wasting horsepower. What is the purpose of this feint attack?
quickly,
Chi Mingyi understood what the Yan people were doing.
When those Yan knights turned around, they tilted the sacks they carried and poured the soil inside directly into the potholes beneath them.
After pouring the soil, turn around immediately.
The Yan army in the rear continued to dump soil, continue to fill the holes, and stepped on them with their own horse hooves, and then turned around.
The distance between the two sides is actually far beyond the range of the crossbow. Unless the Chu army in Yangshan stronghold takes the initiative to go out to close the distance, it is impossible to harm the Yan army cavalry.
Therefore,
The Yan Army cavalry were extremely serious when pouring the soil, not careless at all. They tried their best to pour down all the soil in the sack, and they had to spread it evenly, not too much here and too little here.
Ok,
Everyone is very responsible and no one messes around;
After all, everyone also knows that if the holes in these swamps and depressions are not filled up properly, his horse's legs will be sprained if the actual charge fails later.
be nice,
How fast is the charge? Can knights like them not understand?
When a horse's leg breaks, they will either be smashed down together with the horse, or they will be thrown away by the horse and hit farther away. Fortunately, if they are not unlucky, they will only break a few bones, but this is a charge by all the big guys. If it was hit, he would probably be trampled by Pao Ze's horse hooves, and there would be no chance of survival.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Liang Cheng chose to launch the attack in the early morning. First, what arrived yesterday was what arrived yesterday, but the soil had to be dug;
Secondly, you have to spend time filling the soil.
The knight who turned around in front came back again, picked up a new sack filled with soil and went forward again to continue the filling project.
Everyone did it with great enthusiasm.
And this scene made Chi Mingyi on the tower almost feel like his eyes were on fire!
He was not angry that the Yan army dared to fill in the soil in front of him.
But anger,
Naturally, the Yan army could not have brought such a large amount of soil from the military stronghold far away. It must have been excavated after arriving yesterday.
Therefore,
This Yan army has penetrated deep alone. At least for now, after the lone army penetrates deep here,
He actually dug the soil for a long time like an old man?
Straight bitch,
Who is inside the camp and who is outside the camp?
When you got here, you didn't set up a stronghold, or even bother to set up a tent. Are you just digging there to prepare for filling the hole the next day?
How much do you look down on your opponent?
Look down on yourself in Yangshan Village and the vine armor soldiers under your command!
Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
Although Chi Mingyi is the uncle of the Bai family, if he is not good enough, he will not be able to join the Bai family. It is even less possible for the Bai family to let the children of the Bai family be their subordinates and let him lead the vine armor soldiers.
He is a proud and arrogant person.
Then I watched the knights in front of me who didn't look like Yan people but were Yan soldiers filling in the holes carefully...
I really can't stand it!
in fact,
I just looked down upon it.
Uncle Zheng himself has an astonishingly brilliant resume, and the Snow Sea Cavalry under his command are also truly proud soldiers.
The cavalry has a natural suppression and... contempt for the infantry.
Anyway, the Chu people are not Qian people. If this time they attack Qian instead of attacking Chu, the Yan army will be even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous when facing the Qian army.
Soldiers and horses who are too arrogant will easily suffer losses, but the mental attribute bonus that such arrogance can bring is actually very obvious.
The eldest prince is in Yinlang County, and his subordinates are all local county soldiers, but he can still fight with Gan people on the border, and his opponents are still elites from the three sides of Qian Kingdom. The bonus in mental momentum actually accounts for Very big.
It means looking down on you and hitting you, it means being confident!
Seeing you is like seeing military glory at your fingertips, how can you not be happy?
On the other hand, when I saw the Yan army's flag, my own courage weakened by three points. Under the situation of one and another, the balance of the war had actually tilted long ago.
The blind man once joked with Uncle Zheng that it was like facing Curry in another time and space. Rationally, he kept telling himself that to value his opponent, he must value his opponent, but emotionally he told you that it was really difficult. Do it.
The Sword Master is actually not familiar with military affairs, so he was a little surprised when faced with this scene of temporarily filling holes before the war.
This battle,
He can actually be so down-to-earth.
A Ming took out his water bag again,
"My lord, it's hot, please wash your face again."
"it is good."
A Ming poured water, and Uncle Zheng reached out to take the water and wiped his face.
The water has been poured,
A Ming nodded contentedly, now ready to pretend to be "wine".
After washing his face, Uncle Zheng felt refreshed and pointed at the tower in Yangshan Village in the distance.
Road:
"I heard that a real swordsman can soar to the sky with one sword and then bring down thunder from the sky. Can we get rid of the ones in the tower opposite first?
If the one above was gone, this battle would be much easier. "
This is actually very difficult.
but,
It’s really boring to continue looking at the unfinished filling work ahead, so I look for some topics and fun.
Facing Uncle Zheng's teasing, the Sword Master just smiled and said:
"You don't need a swordsman. Uncle Hirano, you just need Arita Wujing's strength and rush up directly. If the person on the tower doesn't have enough expert guards around him, he will be scared and jump down and hide in the army."
Uncle Zheng shrugged.
A Ming said "ha",
Stretched,
He said lazily:
"If your lord has the strength of the third-level peak, there is no need to go to such trouble."
The sword master corrected him: "The third-level peak is indeed very strong, but it is not a god."
A smile appeared at the corner of A Ming's mouth. A third-level peak person is not a god.
What about the seven?
----
I actually wanted to finish it in one go, but I had something to do this morning when I went out, and I didn’t sleep all night yesterday. I stayed up late last night to write this chapter. I planned to finish it when I get back, but now I’m really sleepy. Please let me sleep. I'll wake up and finish writing this plot tomorrow.
Good night, hug everyone!
