Liu Yan's transfer of troops to the north for reinforcements will inevitably affect the overall situation, how can the commander of the army stationed on the edge of Dongping County Sun Fudu and Yuzhou Assassin Liu Min be indifferent to the transfer of the Han army, they are all the commanders of the army, even if it is not for Yao Yizhong, but for themselves, they must also take the opportunity to enter the army.
Sun Fudu received reinforcements from Fan Tan, led 90,000 troops to attack Dongping County, and fought with the Han army in the northwest of modern Liangshan in Fan County.
Liu Min gathered the troops of the counties and counties of Yuzhou, gathered a total of 130,000 troops out of Changyi to cross the Jishui tributary, and a big battle broke out with the Han army in Jinxiang.
The Han army in Dongping County has always been only 50,000, the soldiers are only 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 are considered auxiliaries.
The commander of the Han army in Dongping County was Huan Wen, and the marching commander was Xie An, and there were generals such as Zhong Hui, Li Hong, Gai Nie, Chen Jiaju, and Wang Yong, as well as 7,000 cavalry soldiers and 23,000 infantry soldiers.
Huan Wen's road is mainly defensive, and the previous capture of Dongping County began to build fortifications, thanks to Liu Yan's consideration of Dongping County as the next stage of the western barrier, the original county capital Xuchang was renovated, and a large number of "castles" were built, and even a sub-city was built.
Although he only got a buffer period of more than three months, he couldn't bear that group of "peasants" who were really good at building a city, and Liu Yan spared no expense in mobilizing resources, and the fortifications had begun to take shape.
Huan Wen should have refused to defend the city, but he thought that he couldn't hold on until he had to.
Xie An considered Huan Wen's opinion, and personally investigated and thought that Fan County on the edge of the Luzi River was a good battlefield, and Huan Wen led all the cavalry and 20,000 soldiers to fight, leaving 10,000 soldiers and all the auxiliaries to defend Xuchang.
The soldiers of the Han army are really out of production, and they only need to serve throughout the year, listen to the dispatch to go out in wartime, and specialize in training in non-war time.
The gap between full-time soldiers who are out of work and soldiers who are combined with soldiers and peasants cannot be generalized, and there is a gap between soldiers who are skilled in everything and do nothing in peacetime but only train in killing skills and soldiers who only practice in their spare time.
At this time, Huan Wen led the army and the Shijie Zhao army led by Sun Fudu were separated by two miles.
The neighing of war horses was only occasionally heard on the Han army's side, and the rest of the soldiers were silent.
Most of them were rescued by Liu Yan personally led the troops five years ago, first after spiritual baptism, and later in life, they knew the social status of the soldiers, and then Liu Yan gave them a new life, which can be said to be Liu Yan's natural loyalty.
If you really count it, Huan Wen is still the first time to lead an army alone, and he was either a civil official or an assistant to someone in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"An Shi, only by leading an army alone can you know the strength of the Han army."
Huan Wen's heart was incomparably felt, and he couldn't help but compare the Han army with the Jin army, and said: "Such an army, five thousand can be worth thirty thousand Jin troops."
It is not a weapon or armor, but the will and the desire of the soldier. ” Xie An nodded thoughtfully, it was not because he looked down on the Jin army that he would think that a Han soldier was worth six Jin soldiers, there was a gap between weapons and armor, and it was more a difference in mental outlook.
"If the Jin army also adopts the twentieth rank," Huan Wen hesitated and asked, "Will it change?"
"There will inevitably be changes, and the spirit of fighting will inevitably rise, but" Xie An smiled bitterly and paused for a moment before continuing: "It's just that there will be some changes in spirit, but the gap in quality is still very big." ” The two armies are about to fight, but Huan Wen and Xie An still have time to chat, that is, they are more or less still concerned about the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then only when they are truly integrated into Liu Yan's command can they know the horror of the Han army.
The Han army is very clear in terms of ranks, and the arms are not mixed, the most obvious is that full-time fighters will not do miscellaneous work, but those who do chores are desperate to become full-time soldiers.
Huan Wen and Xie An, who thought of a certain place, subconsciously twisted their bodies and turned their heads to look back The left and right flanks of the army formation were arranged with cavalry.
The cavalry of the Han army is divided into armored cavalry, which is equipped with heavy cavalry, and there are also assault cavalry wearing armor in the first half of the armor of war horses, and there are light cavalry that are not armor-piercing or only people wearing leather armor, and there are also archers who only shoot arrows and do not care about close combat.
The middle army of the military formation was the infantry army, and the tower shield soldiers and the heavy infantry swordsmen were arranged in the forefront, followed by pikemen, spearmen, crossbowmen, and strong archers, and some sword and shield soldiers and war swordsmen were scattered and distributed in various phalanxes.
To tell the truth, Huan Wen actually didn't understand why he was so detailed, he witnessed those soldiers fighting, and overheard Xie An say that he had a specialization in the arts, so he could be regarded as admitting that practice makes perfect like special training.
Huan Wen and Xie Anxin looked at Shijie Zhao Jun on the opposite side again.
If it is said that the Han army pays attention to the formation of the battle, what kind of formation should be definitely put out when there is a chance, and the Shijie Zhao army has always seemed to be messy and put together a large piece.
The uniforms of the Han army are unified, and you will feel full of momentum at a glance, only some elites of the Shijie Zhao army will have a unified uniform, and their system of calling soldiers and leaving is the people, which may also be that the Hu people do not pay attention to so much, resulting in the fact that no matter what the Shijie Zhao army or the rest of the Hu people are armed, there has always been no unified uniform, and there are all those who look to wear anything, anyway, they are messy and colorful.
There are more than a dozen eastern countries in today's world, and there are not many national armies that can have unified battle robes, and the more national forces with Han culture, the more they pay attention to the unity of the army, which causes the Zhang Liang army, the Jin army, the Han army, the Goguryeo army, and the Li Cheng Han army to have a unified military uniform, and the rest of the Shijie Zhao army, Murong Yan army, Tuoba Dynasty army, Xiongnu tribes, and so on Hu people do not pay attention to it.
In addition, it must be said that the Ran Qin army has also been pursuing a unified uniform, but Ran Min has only occupied Guanzhong for a long time, and repeated killings have destroyed the original fragile production system, resulting in Ran Min, who has the intention of unifying the uniform, cannot do it at all.
Then there is the army of the Li Cheng Han, to talk about the degree of sinicization of the Cheng Han is really quite high, and then there is the Sichuan and Shu since ancient times to be famous for the prosperity of weaving, and the Li Cheng Han also has enough national strength to unify the army's uniforms.
Then there is a very strange point, that is, the uniforms of the Li Chenghan army are also red on the top and black or gray on the bottom, but the Jin army that thinks it is Zhengshuo is wearing white robes, and there is no appearance of Zhengshuo at all.
As long as you are familiar with history, you must know that since the two Han armies chased down the north, all dynasties that thought they were Zhengshuo did not use red as the main body One side has a rigorous military formation and uniform uniforms, while the other side is simply piled up and colorful, and the two sides have not yet started to fight, and there is a difference in psychology.
Sun Fudu was just checking the mercy of the Han army, hoping to find a flaw.
He looked around and found that the formation put out by Huan Wen was very common, that is, a fish scale formation formed by the combination of small military formations one after another.
The fish scale formation is like a fish scale, one by one, layered, if the whole infantry will be a kind of echelon defense formation, the left and right flanks will be placed on the cavalry, it will become an offensive and defensive military formation.
Although Sun Fudu is a member of the Qian tribe, he also knows the formation, but it is a pity that although he understands it, he can't put it out, it has nothing to do with his hands-on ability, mainly because the soldiers under his command have not been trained for many years.
"Offense" The Shijie Zhao army on the side of Dongping County has most of the cavalry, and they are the attacking side, so they can only wave the army.
Sun Fu has carefully discerned, coupled with the corresponding intelligence, he knows that the number of crossbowmen of the Han army on the opposite side is only about 3,000, which is a good news, after all, Shijie Zhao Jun was afraid of the strong bow and crossbow of the Han army.
The situation on the battlefield was still the same old routine at the beginning, and the attacking Shijie cavalry entered a distance of 300 paces and was attacked by the strong crossbowmen of the Han army, but because of the small number of long-range strike troops under Huan Wen, the loss was actually within the tolerance range of the Shijie cavalry.
The new routine occurred in Huan Wen and Xie An's withdrawal from the main formation, and there should be about a thousand great swordsmen wearing heavy armor and holding large broadswords, stepping out of the formation of the formation of a human wall with neat steps.
Seeing that scene, Sun Fudu was slightly stunned and surprised, the previous routine of the Han army was to form a shield array with a gun array, but this time he actually changed his tactics When the Shijie cavalry approached the Han army one hundred and fifty paces, not only the strong crossbow was diffuse, but also the strong bow was like a rain of arrows.
Waiting for them to approach within eighty paces of the Han army, the few crossbowmen of the Han army also joined in the shooting, and in an instant, they encountered more arrows.
If the degree of damage from 300 to 150 steps is one, 150 to 80 steps is 3, and within 80 steps it has increased to five, and that is less than 300 crossbowmen joining the attack.
The first batch of 5,000 Shijie cavalry who were thrown into the battle, they rushed in the face of the rain of arrows that split their heads and covered their faces, and they lost nearly 1,000 before they could be regarded as stepping within 20 steps, and every Shijie soldier who straddled the war horse had a hideous expression, and they paid so heavy casualties just to get closer, they firmly believed that as long as they could get close to hand-to-hand combat, there would be hope for victory.

The great swordsmen stood in rows, each of them holding a large broadsword sideways, and the blade of the sword was swinging backwards.
In this position, you can easily stir the broadsword forward, and with a slight flip of the palm, you can turn it into a straight hilt.
They are ready to attack, their huge bodies and heavy armor, naturally they can't do without the exaggerated giant sword, which makes people look very powerful.
The heavy and frequent sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, the war drums are roaring, and the "Han Army Might" roared out by more than 20,000 people resounded through the wilderness.
At that moment, the cold light reflected in the swing of the great broadsword burst out, and in the pieces of cold light, the corpses of people and horses that had been cut in two kept appearing Dividing line If there is no special notice, there are two chapters updated every day.
