Chapter seven hundred and seven.
Since there was a precedent, Wang Hou didn't play any more fun on himself. As for the relatives of Ma Su's family who were controlling the pass in the South Mountain, Zhang He's strategy was applied directly.
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 nomadic peoples who learn from them. The Black Mountain infantry with sheepskin felt bags rushed through the Jieting Pass under the orders of their respective commanders. Tents and Luzhai were built by the river and built a defense net.
This part of the Heishan Army was considered the elite soldiers of the mainstream feudal forces in the late Han Dynasty. Zhang Yun, the leader, was the youngest in his family and could not inherit the family business. The generals under his command were also the second and third brothers of the landlords after the Heishan Army were divided into the Heishan Army. They could not inherit the family business. Most of the soldiers were tenants on the land and the same second and third brothers of the old farmer.
From top to bottom, this Black Mountain infantry was like the illegitimate son of a European nobleman. He was particularly eager to gain achievements from the war. His fighting will was particularly strong. He was influenced by the Liaodong Field Army in terms of equipment and training, and his elite strength was even more than Xiahou Yuan's Chang'an Army.
The Goguryeo people were tired of fighting on the eastern front. This time I met the Di people on the western front. For these boys, it was really novel. The infantry used Liaodong engineer shovels to dig the defense line. The Di people on this mountain came down to find water. With the sound of hula, two regiments of more than 800 Black Mountain troops were carrying large axes, guns and steel crossbows, and they were excited to fuck them!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The loud roars were shocked by Liupan Mountain, which seemed to be slightly shocked. It was the battlefield where large corps fought against the barbarians. The scattered Di people were yelling and shouting at the Heishan heavy infantry gathered in groups. Not to mention, the heavy javelin was particularly lethal for even the heavy armor in Liaodong. Although the forged turtle shell armor on the chest and stomach could not be broken, the shoulders, thighs, and a single layer of chain armor could not be stopped.
Holding an axe and gun, the three-meter-long gun body was swaying hard. Most of the guns were blocked, but there were still pierced on the body. The gun that hit the chest made people stagger, staggering, piercing their arms and thighs, and laying down directly.
However, at this killing rate, the Di people who went down the mountain to fight were able to kill two regiments of Black Mountain troops about the last year.
In front of him, the Di people carrying short weapons or some wooden guns did their best to fight, but! It was like a dog biting a hedgehog and unable to get down. When they were approached, they even let the heavy infantry in the formation chop over with a big axe and directly opened the scoop.
Wang Hou's infantry formation was particularly close to the Spanish formation and Qi Jiguang's army formation, but the gunpowder production capacity was insufficient. The means of output from muskets to double-bow steel crossbows. Behind the heavy infantry, the crossbow handle stepped on the crossbow arms between his feet, grinned his teeth and pulled the crossbow strings up, and then gathered over his head. Twenty meters away, a Di man was also doing grinning. He used all his strength to throw the gun out, but he only heard a click, and there was an iron arrow on his forehead. Before he could even take action, he turned his eyes and fell down.
In the midst of noisy, the more than 3,000 Di people who went down the mountain were blocked by the 800 Heishan 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 a typical Loess Plateau terrain. Although it is not like the Yadan landform that people think of, the bare mountains are bare and the grass does not grow, facing the loess and the back is facing the sky, but it is also used by the erosion of flowing water and the hills.
Just when the water was busy, there were suddenly bursts of smoke and dust on the land in Longzhong. The messy horse hooves burst out like mountain torrents and thunder. Wang Hou and Sima Yi, who were watching the battle not far from the river, couldn't help but turn around.
Not to mention, I killed many Xianbei people a while ago, so now the equipment of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry has improved a lot. Wearing the iron armor purchased by the Xianbei people, some people are even learning to hang stirrups, and the enemy is constantly improving. Bashan Love
With one horse in front, under the big horse-shaped banner, carrying a silver spear upside down, the famous Western Liang general Ma Mengqi rushed out again.
However, after taking a look, yawned, Sima Yi turned his gaze back to the battlefield by the river with jealousy. Wang Hou had no choice but to take out the monkey in the sky that was carrying around his waist. With a flint, he rushed straight to the blue sunny day with a whoosh.
With a bang, not far from drinking water, the heavy horse hooves sounded violently in another valley. The sound of the sky and the earth cracked even more heavy, the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment, which had been ambushed, also rushed out with a roar under the waving of a large flag of Zhao.
This is Ma Chao's strategy! He thought clearly that although it would be no problem to mobilize another 100,000 troops in the entire Longshang, like Mr. Cao, he had only 20,000 to 30,000 troops. The Di and Qiang people were far less elite than Ma Su's Shu army infantry. They asked them to station in Jieting City and would not play much role in facing Wang Hou, a Liaodong infantry known for their strong and iron blood.
It would be better to guard the Nanshan Mountain. Before the key points were taken down, Wang Hou would not dare to transport the large army and allied materials to Longshang directly.
When the Liaodong Army attacked the mountains and attacked them in a fierce manner, his cavalry could also find a bargain from behind.
Just like now.
However, this trick is actually very simple to resolve, be patient!
It was just like now! Seeing that Zhao Yun had a smaller number of people, his equipment was more elite and well-trained cavalry regiment ran out, he was originally in a state of fierce intention to attack Ma Chao, who was behind the Black Mountain Army in the river, stopped immediately, and after watching for a while, he quickly turned around and left.
A seemingly aggressive cavalry battle disappeared like this, and Zhao Yun had no intention of chasing him. He watched his troops camp on the loess ridge two or three miles away from Jieting, and faced him. The Liaodong Cavalry Regiment also set up camp on the right side of Wang Hou's camp.
At the foot of the mountain, the Di tribe, who cooperated with the attack and seized the water source, gave up and retreated to the south mountain.
Several large legions just looked at each other.
Among the three troops, the most uncomfortable one is probably the Di people in Xingguo who obeyed Ma Chao's orders and sent troops to resist! From the mountain, they could just watch the trickle of river water not far away, but they just couldn't get it, so they could only endure the thirst.
And he felt more than that. As long as Wang Hou was not in a hurry, his advantages were all in his hands. After all, he had 150,000 people.
It is estimated that Zhang He broke Jieting at the beginning, and the pace of war was the same! In the next two days, the subsequent 10,000 Goguryeo people and more than 20,000 Guanzhong vassals also followed. Just as the Xingguo Di troops on the mountain and the Ma Chao and Xiliang cavalry in the distance watched helplessly, a large number of infantrymen gathered dry weeds and firewood everywhere regardless of the consequences of ecological protection and soil erosion.
There are many people and great power, and tens of thousands of people take action. On the third day, various thick fire-attracting objects have surrounded Jieting Nanshan for half a circle.
The battle for Jieting has come here, and there is basically no suspense!
