{Thank you to your friend Luo Xianchao Kuang Ji and your friend Ghost Mouth for the monthly pass} "Preparing for War" Feng Motu and Zhang Fulidu shouted urgently, and suddenly, the knights behind them stiffened their horses, picked up their weapons, and prepared to charge, not only Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong's eyes were blazing, but even Liu Yao looked back.
Just as the Ming army had the will to evaluate the true combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Zhao army, the Zhao army also had the same demand.
When two armies engage in an encounter in an open area, if one side lacks overwhelming absolute superiority over the other, it usually does not rush to the next step, but repeatedly tries and tries to intimidate and blackmail all kinds of intimidation and blackmail, and only after understanding the reality of the other side will it decide on the next step.
As the distance got closer, Feng Mo suddenly became more and more suspicious, this small group of cavalry rushed towards him slowly, and he didn't understand what to do at all, but Liu Yao had an order to try the main thing, he couldn't move, he could only watch.
There were still about one hundred and fifty paces left, and the cavalry on the opposite side stopped one after another, almost in a straight line, even if he stood in a hostile position, he had to secretly praise, at least he couldn't do it himself.
In fact, the cavalry at that time rarely had strict training in the queue, and the cavalry paid attention to the impact and swiftness like the wind, and the requirements for the queue were not too high, coming and going, that is, the relatively loose fish scale formation or the sharp arrow formation.
"Not good, go back" But at this moment, the cavalry of the Ming army copied from behind the saddle, and each person had a crossbow, all of which were hung up on the strings, and the arrows were fired.
But it was too late, and the dense short arrows shot head-on, one hundred and fifty paces, which was the range of the god's arm crossbow to exert its greatest power, and the initial velocity of the arrow was faster than that of the bow and arrow.
Feng Motu is a Xianbei person, he has no consciousness of hiding in the kick, and instinctively pulls out his arrows to block, but there are too many short arrows, and he is wearing Mingguang armor, and at first glance he is a high-ranking general, so he doesn't shoot anyone In the blink of an eye, Feng Mo suddenly felt a pain in his right cheek, and a short arrow penetrated through the right cheek, and then shot out from the back of his head, he couldn't help screaming in pain, and his consciousness quickly dissipated, and he fell off the horse.
"General Feng" Zhang Fulidu screamed and screamed, just one face, Feng Motu was shot down, most of it was over, although Feng Motu was not a great general, but before the two armies fought, they lost the general, which was obviously a bad sign, and when he looked at the battlefield, he was shot over by six hundred horses After a round of crossbow arrows was fired, Feng Mo was suddenly in chaos, because the leader died unexpectedly, and the emperor was watching from behind, he was naturally nervous, and his thinking was very unsatisfactory, and no one knew what to do next, so he waved his arms and shouted for General Feng's revenge, some retreated, and the knight instinctively approached Zhang Fulidu's department.
When Yu Yao saw this situation, he felt itching, this was a good time to wave the army to attack, but not far away, there were Qiang Yi cavalry who were waiting for the battle, and Liu Yao's headquarters, which had already turned the horse's head, and finally gave up this idea.
After all, the Ming army was built too short a time, the foundation was weak, and he couldn't afford to lose a lot, so Yu Yao didn't dare to mess around with his own temperament.
"Retreat" Yu Yao waved helplessly.
The Guo Yu Department in front of the formation really shot an arrow, and after an arrow, Le turned his horse's head and ran back, and occasionally those who pursued individually were also shot back by the 8,000 cavalry who responded with random arrows.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yao was anxious and angry, and hated to wave the army to attack in order to avenge this arrow, but he also had scruples, what he scrupled about was Qiang, the former subordinates and comrades-in-arms, with the subtle changes in the comparison of strength, have been suspicious of each other, and even he calculated the details, if Qiangdi is eliminated, his strength is not stronger than the Ming army, that is to say, the Qiang clan has become an important force in determining victory or defeat.
Of course, this is only relative to him, among the imaginary enemies of the Ming army, Qiang Di is temporarily listed as the enemy, and the battle plan naturally includes Qiang Di, Liu Yao suddenly found that he fell into a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.
Let's fight, I have scruples, for fear that Qiang Di will stab him in the back.
Don't fight, I was shot by a round of arrows from the opposite side, and I killed the leading general and more than 600 horsemen, not to mention how aggrieved I was, not to mention looking at the Ming army's posture, I would stab it again if I had the opportunity.
Don't underestimate the death of hundreds of people at a time, from there to Funiu Mountain, there are still hundreds of miles, if there are ten or eight more times, thousands of people are killed by sneak attacks, what kind of face does he have to be this Emperor Zhao To deal with Liu Yao and Shi Le, Yang Yan has different strategies, for Shi Le, because of the brutality of Shi Le and Shi Hu's uncle and nephew, the Jin people of Hebei were either killed, or fled south, and those who stayed in the local area also cowered, did not dare to resist, the strength was extremely weak, and they could not turn over the waves, which was not to say, they could only attack and fight, but Liu Yao's situation was more complicated, Liu Yao inherited Liu Yuan's unique hypocrisy, and he had a very good face, and the various forces of Qin Yong in Guanzhong were mainly subdued, rather than directly subdued, so that the effect was quick in the short term, but it also buried hidden dangers.
For example, Zhang Mao in Liangzhou, Liu Yao drove the expedition in person, led an army of more than 200,000 to attack Guzang, Zhang Mao knew that he was invincible, and he was called a minister, Liu Yao gladly allowed it, and led the army to return, from the perspective of modern people, this expedition, labor and money, in addition to getting face, what else did he get Nothing The strength of the Zhang clan in Liangzhou has not been hit by any blow, in addition to nominally belonging to Liu Yao, he is still the local grass king, and if Liu Yao has a problem in the future, he will be the first to rebel, and the same is true of the situation of Qiang Di and Guanzhong Jinren.
This attack is not to attack Liu Yao's heart, but mainly to cut off Liu Yao's face, hit his prestige, make him angry, irritable, suspicious, divided and estranged, and finally everyone rebelled and left, and the country was destroyed.
As a modern person, he understands that the military is an extension of the political struggle, and the military is not the goal, but only the means, from the beginning of forcing Liu Yin and Liu Lang to restore their old surname Tu Ge, and then to showing favor to Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong by brutal means, until adopting Ren Rang's suggestion that he immediately dig up Liu Yao's ancestral grave, all pursued are to attack the heart.
Now Liu Yao is in this predicament, he can really feel that his face has been shaved, but there is nothing he can do, he can't help but look at the wanderer.
You Ziyuan is known for his conspiracy, the Western Jin Dynasty Sikong Zhang Hua once commented on his magnanimity and squareness, during the Shi Liu Yao, because of the indiscriminate killing of the Ba Yi patriarch angered Liu Yao was imprisoned, and then all the Qiang rebels, Liu Yao only listened to the plan of You Ziyuan to pardon the accomplices, divide and disintegrate, and use You Ziyuan as the general of the chariot to defeat the rebels, destroy it, and pacify the self-established Qin King of the Quan Qu clan, so that the heart is no longer rebellious, and Liu Yao leans on his arm.
In the battle, You Ziyuan also believed in attacking the heart first, attacking the city as the bottom, and playing with the disintegration of differentiation, but at this time, when he encountered Yang Yan's attack on the top, he felt helpless.
The key is that in the past, he used the weakness of his opponent to divide and disintegrate others, but at this time, it was Yang Yan who was dividing and disintegrating him, the so-called flies do not bite seamless eggs, Liu Yao himself is not a magnanimous person, and Yao Pu and the others are the most powerful one in Qiang, this is the original sin.
At this time, Yao Yizhong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old man is willing to lead the sons of the clan to cover the retreat of the main force of Da Zhao." ” Yao Yizhong asked, You Ziyuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he had no reason to stop it.
And the word retreat, also made Liu Yao feel very uncomfortable, what he wanted to hear was that the Qiang people were willing to drive forward for His Majesty and break the Ming army, but he also knew that it was impossible, and forced Qiang Di to fight hard with the Ming cavalry, which would immediately cause resentment, and now the balance of power was not favorable to him, so he could only endure it, return to Mianchi, and re-army horses, so as to have the confidence to re-dispatch Qiang.
"Okay, there's Lao Yaogong" Liu Yao nodded reluctantly.
Yao Yizhong left, rode his horse back to the headquarters, raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, the Ming people deceive people too much, this is the time for Your Majesty to share your worries, pick up the guys, and go into battle with the old man."
"Whew" The Qiang people screamed, followed Yao Yi Zhongce and stepped forward, and for a while, thousands of horses galloped, and the momentum was amazing.
Liu Yao couldn't help frowning, he saw Yao Yizhong's incomparable appeal among the tribe.
Pu Hong had been secretly paying attention to Liu Yao, and his brows were furrowed.
How to say it, it is clear that Liu Yao is suspicious of Yao Yizhong, he and Yao Yizhong are not much on harmony, but they are worried about the cold of their lips and teeth, Yao Yizhong is down, he is difficult to support alone, and he will inevitably be liquidated by Liu Yao, and then look back and think about it, what is the matter, Yang Yan's clumsy means of discord actually achieved results, and he was disappointed in Liu Yao for no reason.
You Ziyuan sighed secretly, he knew that Liu Yao's square was messed up. 。
