Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 717

Now that there is a precedent, Wang Hou didn't play tricks on himself. For the relatives of Ma Di's family who controlled the pass on Nanshan, he directly applied Zhang Xi's strategy.

The first step is to cut off the water source!
Although there is no big river near Jieting Road, there are still small streams and wells, and they are also learned nomads. The Black Mountain Army infantry with pack horses and sheepskin blankets rushed past the Jieting Pass under the orders of their respective officers. Tents and deer villages were set up, and a defensive net was built.

This part of the Black Mountain Army is considered the mainstream feudal army elite soldiers in the late Han Dynasty. Zhang Yun, the leader, is the youngest in the family and cannot inherit the family business. The fifth child cannot inherit the family business, and most of the soldiers are tenants on the land and the same second and third children in the old self-cultivating farmers.

From top to bottom, this Montenegrin infantry is like the illegitimate sons of nobles born in Europe. They are particularly eager to gain merits from the war, and their fighting will is exceptionally strong. Xia Houyuan's Chang'an army is one point.

I am tired of fighting Goguryeo on the eastern front. This time I met the Di people on the western front. For these boys, it was really a novelty. The infantry used Liaodong engineer shovels to dig the defense line. The Di people on the mountain came down to find water , Under the sound of hula-la, immediately two regiments of more than 800 Black Mountain Army carried big axes, guns and steel crossbows, and went to kill them with great interest!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Liupan Mountain, which was shaken by the loud roar, seemed to be shaken slightly. It was another battlefield where large armies fought against barbarians. The scattered Di people were fearless and yelled at the gathered Montenegrin heavy infantry, throwing javelins. He said that the heavy javelin is particularly lethal to even Liaodong's heavy armor. Although the forged turtle shell armor on the chest and stomach cannot be pierced, the shoulders, thighs, and a single layer of chain armor cannot stop it.

Holding the ax gun, the three-meter-long body of the gun was swinging as hard as possible. Most of the spears were blocked, but some still stuck to the body. For the arms and thighs, the person lay down directly.

However, according to this killing rate, about a year after throwing, the Di people who went down the mountain to fight could finish the two regiments of the Black Mountain Army.

In front of them, the Di people with short weapons or some wooden guns did try their best to fight, but!It was really like a dog biting a hedgehog and couldn't get out of the mouth. They got close, and even let the heavy infantry in the formation hack at it with a big axe, and opened the scoop directly.

Wang Hou's large infantry formation is very close to the Spanish large square formation and Qi Jiguang's army formation, but the gunpowder production capacity is insufficient, and the means of output behind the back has been changed from muskets to double-bow steel crossbows. Behind the heavy infantry, crossbowmen step on the crossbow arms Suddenly, he grinned and pulled the crossbow strings, and then gathered them over his head. 20 meters away, a Di man was still grinning, using all his strength to throw the spear, but only heard a click. He shot an iron arrow, and before he threw the spear, he rolled his eyes and fell down.

Amidst the commotion, the more than 3000 people who descended the mountain were stopped by the Eight Hundred Black Mountain Army.

But unlike Ma Su, during the battle of Jieting, Zhuge Liang's army was attacking Longxi City in Qishan, but here, the Di people had reinforcements!

Longzhong also belongs to the typical loess plateau topography. Although it is not like the Yadan landform that people think of, with bare mountains and no grass growing, facing the loess and back to the sky, it is also eroded by flowing water with thousands of ravines and rolling hills.

Just as the fight by the water was lively, smoke and dust suddenly piled up again on the land in Longzhong, and the sound of messy horseshoes burst out like torrents and thunder. Wang Hou, who was watching the battle not far from the river, and Sima Yi couldn't help turning his head back.

Not to mention, many Xianbei people were killed a while ago, so that now the Xiliang iron cavalry equipment is much better. They put on the iron armor bought by Xianbei people, and some people even learned to hang their stirrups. improvement.

The first horse took the lead, and under the big banner with the horse character, holding the silver gun upside down, the famous Xiliang general Ma Mengqi rushed out again in the lead.

However, after taking a look and yawning, Sima Yi turned his gaze back to the battlefield by the river again full of jealousy, while Wang Hou had no choice but to take out the Sky-piercing Monkey he was carrying around his waist, flint A dozen, whoosh straight into the blue sky.

There was a bang, not far from the drinking water, and in another mountain depression, the sound of heavy horseshoes also rang out violently. In the heavier vibration of the sky falling and the earth cracking, the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment, which had already ambushed, also rang out. Under the banner of Zhao character, it rushed out roaring.

This is Ma Chao's strategy!He thought clearly that although it would not be a problem to mobilize another [-] troops from the whole Longshang, but like Mr. Cao, he could only maneuver [-] to [-] troops, and the Di and Qiang people were far less elite than Ma Di's Shu army infantry. Yes, if they were to be stationed in the small town of Jieting, they would not be of much use in the face of Wang Hou's Liaodong infantry, which is known for its toughness and iron blood.

It's better to guard Nanshan. Before the key points are taken, Wang Hou dare not directly move the large army and its supplies to Longshang.

And when the Liaodong Army is attacking the mountains and attacking fiercely, his cavalry can still find advantages from behind.

like now.

But it is actually very simple to resolve this trick, be patient!

Also like now!Seeing that although Zhao Yun's number is smaller, but the well-equipped and well-trained cavalry regiment rushed out, Ma Chao, who was aggressively planning to attack the Heishan Army behind the river, stopped immediately, and waited for a while, then quickly turned around and left. Walk.

A seemingly menacing cavalry battle disappeared like this, Zhao Yun also had no intention of chasing after him, watching him camp on the loess mountain ridge two or three miles away from Jieting, facing him, the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment was also in Wang Houda A fort was set up on the right side of the camp.

At the foot of the mountain, the Diren tribe, who cooperated with the attack to recapture the water source, gave up and retreated to Nanshan.

Several large armies looked at each other like this.

Among the three troops, the most uncomfortable one is probably the Xingguodi people on the mountain who obeyed Ma Chao's order and sent troops to resist!From the mountain, they could just watch the trickling river not far away, but they couldn't get it, so they could only suppress their thirst.

And the discomfort is more than that, as long as Wang Hou is not in a hurry, the advantage is in his hands, after all, he has 15 people.

It is estimated that when Zhang He broke the street pavilion, it was also the rhythm of the war!In the next two days, [-] Goguryeo people followed, and more than [-] Guanzhong vassals followed. Under the watchful eyes of the Xingguodi troops on the mountain and the Ma Chao Xiliang iron cavalry in the distance, a large number of infantrymen ignored the ecology As a result of conservation and soil erosion, dry weeds and firewood were collected everywhere.

There are many people and strength, and tens of thousands of people started to fight. On the third day, various thick firelighters have surrounded Jieting Nanshan for a small half circle.

Now that the battle for the street pavilion has come to this, there is basically no suspense!
