Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

How did Jingchao's cavalry appear here at Qingli Lake?Shouldn't they be huddled south of the Great Wall? !

When these cavalry in bright armor suddenly appeared on the side of the hill, no matter whether they were foreigners or northern barbarians, they were all shocked. They had no idea why Jingren, who hadn't set foot outside the pass for decades, would Suddenly came to Qingli Lake and appeared on the battlefield.What are they coming for?Help aliens?Or take advantage of the fire?

At the beginning, King Zuo Xian thought that the troops that suddenly appeared were Xue Jin's group of traitors, but after a closer look, he knew something was wrong.

Although it is true that Xue Jin is a descendant of the Jing people, since his ancestors, these rebel generals have lived in the northern barbarian country. Therefore, whether the subordinates or the leaders of these tribes, they are dressed like ordinary northern barbarians. There is no difference, they are all leather armor and fur, how could there be so many Mingguang armor suddenly?And the horses they were riding were not right. It was impossible for Xue Jin and the others to get such a large number of Western Region BMWs silently. If he had the ability, he would not be forced to defect.

Abonajiang, who was not far away from Zuo Xianwang, had good eyesight, and the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, allowing him to see a face with a deep memory at a glance.Although he hadn't seen him for several years, the uniqueness, self-confidence and tenacity exuded from his bones made him unforgettable... "Jiang Yuan, the leader is Hou Jiangyuan, the champion of Yasukuni!"

It really is Jing Jun!

Zuo Xianwang squinted his eyes, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he chopped off a soldier from the Di clan who was rushing over with his sword, and shouted loudly in the direction of the alien race: "You alien races are like this! You are so bold that you dare to collude with foreign enemies and mix with those cowardly Jing people, it is even more hateful than those defected descendants of Jing people!"

He was angry, he was angry, he was cursing, but in this chaotic army, even if he shouted loudly, it was useless.The entire battlefield was full of noisy shouts of killing. Ordinary shouts could not be transmitted very far. They disappeared into the sound of horseshoes and fighting before they spread two feet away.

Jiang Yuan doesn't care about these, who cares what the northern barbarians think?It has been two days since he rushed to Qingli Lake with his troops. During these days, the Jing army has been using the cover of the Yuezhi people to hide in the nearby mountains, so as not to let the northern barbarian army find out. How could he let go of the good opportunity to attack the Northern Barbarian Kingdom?

With the waving of flags and the sound of horns in the Jing army, the heavy cavalry following Jiang Yuan's horse and rushing down the hillside had already rushed straight to the rear of Zuo Xianwang's army.

The hillside is conducive to the display of the cavalry's combat power. When rushing down the hillside, Jing Jun's horse speed has been accelerated to the fastest. With this powerful speed and energy, these heavy cavalry slammed into the rear of the northern barbarian army. Although there are only 5 people in number, the momentum is like a thousand troops, roaring like mountains and tsunamis, with astonishing courage and incomparable might.

The long rod horses equipped by the heavy cavalry had extremely sharp iron blades, and they pierced through the northern barbarian's body without any hesitation, piercing through several people casually, and piercing them into a string.

Most of these unlucky northern barbarian soldiers hadn't realized what happened behind them, and they only cared about the aliens rushing forward. Few of them had time to turn their horses and face the Jing army head-on.It was directly penetrated by the long lance from the back, without even being able to utter a cry, and died under the horse.

Those Northern Barbarian soldiers who finally turned their horses around and planned to face the enemy forgot an important thing. Their horses had just turned around and were basically at a standstill, without the impact speed of cavalry at all.As the opponent Jing Jun, the horses increased their speed to the fastest by taking advantage of the angle of the hillside.

The cavalry who had lost their speed were not even as good as the infantry, but they were just a group of live targets. Jingren, who was drawn out of his saber, slammed into both sides with his powerful kinetic energy, and was repeatedly hacked to death.

The heavy cavalry were well-trained, and formed a conical formation during the charge, like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the northern barbarian formation.The sharp cone array was so powerful that it actually separated King Zuo Xian's army from the middle of the rear, splitting it in half as easily as cutting a cake.

Half of them are the part next to King Youxian's army. They are falling into the abyss of fighting with foreign races.The other half of King Zuoxian's subordinates will have to face the [-] light cavalry of the Jing Army and the Yuezhi cavalry who have been ambushing nearby for a long time. They have already rushed to the flank of this part of the army and shot at them The arrow is already in sight.

Nor can we blame the northern barbarians for becoming vulnerable. Nomads like them are very outdated in technology at this time, and they are not good at iron smelting at all.Their entire nation was built mainly with light cavalry, and their tactics they are good at are long-distance raids and outflanking strategies. Shoot and kill the enemy with cavalry and shooting, slowly divide the enemy, and use your own mobility advantage to consume the enemy to death.

Such a light cavalry is not incapable of close combat, but the protection of the leather armor is too fragile. Even in a contest, it can only deal with nomads whose protection level is as poor as their own, or it is not much stronger. The difference can be ignored. Regardless of the people from the Western Regions.

With the fragile leather armor on them and the tattered fish scale armor that couldn't even protect their arms, how could they be the opponents of the heavy cavalry who had extremely strong protection and both men and horses were wearing heavy armor?The level of Dajing craftsmen is far superior to that of the northern barbarians. The ring sword made of fine iron can break gold and jade. Even Jingjun's oily skin couldn't be scratched, it could only leave some scratches on the iron armor.

If the horses of the northern barbarian army were in a state of movement, then they could naturally take advantage of the excellent horse speed of the light cavalry to leave the battlefield, turn the horse's head around, and reorganize the battle.At that time, you can either distance yourself and attack Jingren with heavy weapons such as axes and maces calmly, or rely on your speed to walk around the enemy and use bows and arrows to attack the enemy from a long distance, all of which can produce good results. .

But the northern barbarians know this kind of thing, so Jiang Yuan, who is familiar with the art of war, can't see through it?

The timing of Jiang Yuan rushing out was calculated by him.

Because of the close combat with the aliens, the soldiers of the northern barbarians had reached a stalemate and completely lost their horse speed.The horses almost stopped in place and couldn't move at all, that's all. The most hindering thing was that because the northern barbarians were attacked from the flanks, they put up a defensive formation, and the distance between them was very close. application of weapons.

In such a narrow space, machetes and the like can be used freely, but those long-handled, extremely heavy, and inflexible bronze weapons cannot be used at all.At this time, the northern barbarians have lost all their advantages of light cavalry because of the war situation, so they are not allowed to be slaughtered by him?

And what about Jingjun?The biggest advantage of heavy cavalry is defense and impact, and the biggest disadvantage is slow start speed and poor ability to chase the enemy, and the horse speed will be slower than light cavalry.

But Jiang Yuan's timing was too good. The northern barbarian army was dragged by the aliens and it was difficult to move. They were given enough time to use the hillside to accelerate the heavy cavalry. Later, because the northern barbarians were dragged, they lost their horse speed. , so there is no way to use the speed advantage to avoid the impact of the heavy cavalry, so they can only stay in place and wait to be killed.

In this way, the advantages of the heavy cavalry are fully utilized, while the disadvantages are properly hidden, while the northern barbarians have no chance to take advantage of the light cavalry at all.Use your own strengths to confront the enemy's weaknesses head-on, and never give the enemy a chance to fight back. This is the opportunity that the general should seize!

After rushing into the army formation of the northern barbarians, Jiang Yuan had already put away the long lance that was inconvenient to dance in the narrow space, and drew out the sharp ring-shouldered knife, slashing at the bewildered northern barbarian soldiers around him.

Compared with the battle against the Liao King's army outside the capital, although the northern barbarians were more fearless and powerful, but without the protection of armor and the ability to resist, they could only grin like a group of people. Like the little white rabbit who expressed his fierceness, he was too fragile to be vulnerable, and he was no match for the heavy cavalry who was armed to the teeth.

Stained with the blood of the enemy all the way, Jiang Yuan acted as the tip of the entire conical formation, leading a group of warriors wrapped in layers of steel behind him, tearing apart the northern barbarian formation and piercing through it.

The advantage of the conical array is that it is extremely sharp and powerful in piercing power, and after the tip of the blade rushes through the army array, more and more heavy cavalry can take advantage of the chaos to kill and injure more enemies, and gradually increase, and finally wipe out the entire enemy. The army collapsed.

Although this kind of military formation appeared relatively early and was recorded in the Art of War during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, it is still widely used until now because the effect is so good.It was just a charge, and the blood of the killed northern barbarians had already flowed all over the battlefield, frightening the hearts of the remaining northern barbarians trembling.

Seeing that Jingren's army was so bloody, those foreign soldiers who were standing on the sidelines didn't dare to move forward. It was obviously right to do so, because they were far away, so they didn't suffer much damage.But Zuo Xianwang hated him so much that his heart was throbbing, just for this one charge, he lost more people than the aliens who hacked and killed for half a day.It was so miserable at the beginning, how will the next battle be fought?Surrender directly?

Jiang Yuan tima rushed out of the enemy's formation, inserted the ring head knife back into the scabbard, and did not go to pick up the long spear, but took off the bow and arrow hanging from the horse's back.He bent his bow and set an arrow, and the moment he turned around, he aimed at the banner representing Zuo Xianwang's identity, and shot it with an arrow!

Because his position is far away from the flag banner, even if Jiang Yuan's bow arm has the strength of seven stones and the arrow speed is very fast, people can still see the clue.In order to prevent Jiang Yuan from shooting Wang Qi with an arrow, many northern barbarian warriors bent their bows and set up arrows, trying to stop Jiang Yuan's attack with their own arrows, and no matter what they said, they could not let him shoot it down. Wang Qi.

It is very difficult to stop the arrow that is flying fast in the air, let alone Jiang Yuan's arrow is so fast that it is hard to guard against.However, the soldiers of the northern barbarians were good at riding and archery since they were young. Someone actually shot an arrow and flew over from the opposite place to block Jiang Yuan's arrow.

Seeing this scene, all the northern barbarians breathed a sigh of relief.They believed in the strength of the Beiman archers, and believed that Jiang Yuan's arrow would definitely be blocked.Unexpectedly, the power of Jiang Yuan's arrow was beyond expectation. He actually split the arrow in front of him in half. Above, cut the rope hanging it directly, causing the flag to flutter and fall down.

Among the people in the Central Plains, there is actually a master who knows such a sharp shot? !

The proudest skill of bow and arrow was broken by a Jingren. It was like slapping all the northern barbarians with bows and slaps [-] times. The people of the country were all stunned in place, dumbfounded and unable to react.

The surrounding Jing army cheered loudly, while the northern barbarians were silent, only Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

The northern barbarian's riding and archery skills are indeed not bragging. The arrow he shot just now was clearly aimed at the flagpole.

Who would have thought that the arrow just now could block the arrow he shot. Although his bow arm was as strong as seven stones, it was far from what other people could match. The powerful force split the opponent's arrow into two pieces. Half, but the direction was still affected and changed slightly, so it only broke the rope tied to the flag flag, but it failed to hit the flagpole, which was far from the effect he expected.

The speed of his arrow was extremely astonishing, no one could block it in the Jing Dynasty, who would have thought that in this Northern Man country, he would meet such a formidable opponent after shooting the first arrow.The Northern Barbarian's reputation for riding and archery is indeed well-known, it seems that he should be more cautious...

No matter what everyone thinks, the heavy cavalry has completely charged through the enemy's formation. At this time, they have turned their horses and gathered under Jiang Yuan's handsome flag to prepare for the next round of charge.The Jingjun light cavalry and Yuezhi people on the flank of King Zuoxian's army were also ready, standing firm and ready to attack the flank at any time.

At this time, a carriage convoy appeared in the direction of King Youxian's flank at some point, and the ones who quickly jumped off the carriage to complete the formation were the heavy infantrymen of the Jing Army who were fully armed and in armor.And at the place behind the northern barbarians, on the hillside that Jiang Yuan led the troops to rush down just now, countless flags were erected at this time, and there were countless people standing there shadowy.

Be it the northern barbarians or the aliens, they were completely surrounded by the Jing army at some point!

At this time, the northern barbarians and aliens didn't care about fighting for the winter livestock.In the face of foreign enemies, all internal conflicts can only be put aside temporarily, and they really cannot survive if they continue the civil war.They looked at Jing Jun around them in a daze, still in a daze, completely unaware of why things had suddenly become like this.

Where did these Jingren come from?When did you come?Why didn't they receive the news of Jing Jun leaving the customs?

The leader of the Di tribe couldn't help cursing when he saw the flag of the Yuezhi people. He was the first to advocate uniting with the Yuezhi people to deal with the northern barbarians. When Jingren came, he actually planned to swallow them and the northern barbarians, what a big appetite!

What did he not understand when he saw the Yuezhi people and Jingren standing together?The Yuezhi people have excellent weapons and enhanced equipment. Those things must have been given to them by Jingren. The two sides have colluded for a long time, but they are just hiding it from them!

King Youxian, who had just shrunk his formation to strengthen his defense, frowned. He never thought that Jingren would appear here to make a move. Now they are surrounded by Jingren's army in all four directions. The number of people in one direction is not too many, but it is not the number that can solve the problem in a real fight.

From his visual observation, Jingren's heavy cavalry army has about 5 troops.These 5 people don't look like many, but it's not easy to stop them when rushing into the formation, and it's not so easy to be scattered when defending the formation.With the emphasis on the cavalry's defense, it is difficult for light cavalry like them to break through their defense, and they are easy to fall into the battle formation.

Once dragged by the heavy cavalry, it is difficult to move, and the light cavalry who has lost horsepower may be attacked by the heavy cavalry, Yuezhi people and Jingren Qingqi.

What if we make a surprise attack on the Yuezhi people and light cavalry?

According to visual observation, there are no less than [-] cavalry in their direction. How could such a number of cavalry successfully pass by in a short time?At that time, they will also fall into a melee, which will give Jingren's heavy cavalry time to prepare to charge. Once the heavy cavalry's horse speed increases again, they will be intercepted by the heavy cavalry again. At that time, they will also be attacked from both sides. I can't live anymore.

King Youxian glanced secretly at the hillside behind him. Although he didn't know how many Jing troops were still guarding the hillside, the terrain of the hillside was easy to defend and difficult to attack.It would be better if infantry were sent to attack the hillside. Cavalry going up the hill would lose the advantage of horse speed due to the terrain, and because the target was too large, it would become a living target for the enemy.What if the Jing army's cavalry cut off the back road as soon as they rushed up the hill, the entire army would really be wiped out...

He finally set his sights on the infantry who had just stepped off the carriage.Although I don't know what's so special about these infantry, the northern barbarians have always looked down on the slow infantry of the Jing army.In the eyes of the northern barbarians, only the cavalry is the most powerful unit. It is enough to have the cavalry, and there is no need for the infantry.

King Youxian thought so, and the leaders of the other tribes thought similarly to him.Compared with the powerful cavalry of the Jing army and the uninformed enemies on the hillside, of course the infantry here are easier to bully.This group of infantry looks like only about 5 people, but these tribes add up to more than 20 light cavalry. Such a big gap is not easy to deal with some infantry who can't even run. fight?

Although there was no discussion, all the soldiers of the northern barbarians still moved closer to the banner of King Youxian. This time is no longer the time to consider hatred and interests. Dajing is the endless enemy of all of them present. Do we want to catch them all in one go, or rush out of the encirclement before thinking about other things.Otherwise, even if they rob livestock, they will be robbed with their lives, but they will not be eaten with their lives.

Jiang Yuan saw the movements of these northern barbarians, but he just raised the corners of his lips and did not give any other orders.Observing that the northern barbarian soldiers were at a safe distance from the heavy cavalry, and had no intention of killing them, he waved his hand to signal all the heavy cavalry to dismount first, so as to save the energy of the horses and wait for the next attack.As for the northern barbarians and aliens, they are about to hit the iron plate.

If King Zhongshun, who stayed in the capital of the Jing Dynasty, was here, he would probably want to point at the heads of the northern barbarians and call them idiots.Compared with the [-] heavy cavalry and the [-] light cavalry, these [-] heavy infantry are not weak at all, they are even so strong that they frighten people to death. If this kind of iron plate hits it, it will not immediately break the muscles and bones?It is not good to choose anyone, but to choose the strongest opponent...

But where did the troops of the Northern Manchuria have seen the power of the heavy infantry that the Jing Army kept secret?Even Abu Najiang, who had been sent to Dajing and watched the military parade at Yongdingmen, didn't know the strength of the heavy infantry, let alone the other northern barbarians?It's not that they don't know it, it's that they really haven't had the chance to see it...

As the low-pitched sound of the Horn sounded in the battle formation, the Northern Barbarian Allied Forces, regardless of ethnicity, rushed towards the heavy infantry formation of the Jing Army.As their team charged closer and closer, the speed of the horses increased to the extreme. They believed that they could crush the infantry of the Jing Army, but what greeted them was not the panicked faces and scorching blood of the infantry, but A rain of arrows coming from the front!

This completely shocked the people from the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. Many people didn't react. How did these arrows fly over such a long distance?This is impossible ah?

Obviously, they didn't know that these well-trained heavy infantry were not using ordinary one-stone bows at all, but two-stone bows/crossbows with powerful bow arms.Because the bow arm has been improved, its shooting range is much longer than that of the northern barbarian's stone bow, so the soldiers of the northern barbarian coalition army have not yet bent their bows, and the arrows of the Jing army on the opposite side have already shot in front of them.

The shooting range is too different, how can you play happily?Even if the northern barbarians want to fight back, they can't do it. Their bows and arrows are only a stone.Although there are quite a few shooters from the Beiman Kingdom who stole Jingren Qiangbow, how many of these talents account for the entire army?The arrows they shot were not enough to tickle Jing Jun, and they were useless at all.

After the three rounds of arrow rain, the heavy infantry who were tightly wrapped in heavy armor were hardly damaged, but the Northern Barbarian coalition army fell many people.No matter how accurate their archery is, they have to shoot through the opponent's iron armor first to be effective. The backwardness of weapons and equipment made the Northern Barbarian allied forces look like they were facing a group of crabs in iron armor, and they didn't know where to start.

When they approached, the heavy infantry all put down their bows and arrows, and the soldiers in the front row had already picked up the Xueliang Mo Dao placed beside them. They followed the general's command and stood up together, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, and rushed towards the front The cavalry had no worries.

They are all elite soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp. They have experienced so much training in the face of cavalry charges, and they have killed countless cows and horses in iron armor. How could these barbarians who did not even have iron armor be killed? Did they take it seriously?

In the eyes of Jing Jun, these Beiman soldiers rushing towards them are not cruel enemies, but rewards for their meritorious service, and they are going straight up!
