Looking at the main battlefield of Luoyin, the Qiang troops on all sides of the Han army camp moved extremely frequently, and the Qiang army in the offensive position was at least about 60,000, and there were more Qiang troops on standby on the periphery.
If it weren't for the terrain restrictions, Yao Yizhong would actually be eager to throw all the troops except the reserve into the attack.
He has been very manic recently, of course, because Sun Fudu and Liu Min, who are teammates, have failed to attack and become defensive, and then he is tortured by Liu Yan's never-ending cavalry and is about to go crazy.
It's really inexhaustible, no matter how much the Qiang soldiers fought against the Han cavalry of about 5,000 the day before, the Han cavalry that fought the next day was still about 5,000, for Yao Yizhong, it really didn't feel weird and simple, he was a sense of confusion that was close to madness.
The cavalry of the Han army that went out of the camp to fight lost nearly 4,000 before and after, and the Qiang cavalry that fought against it lost nearly 13,000.
That is still the advantage brought by Yao Yizhong's repeated compression of the activity space of the Han cavalry, if he doesn't do that, he will have to fight more than what proportion.
Yao Yizhong repeatedly thought that the cavalry in Liu Yan's hand should not be consumed much if he fought again, but the number of cavalry dispatched by the Han army repeatedly did not change at all.
Yao Yizhong would try to launch a total of them, because he found that the number of cavalry Liu Yan had sent out of the camp to fight in the last time had reached 7,000, and he had become berserk under the mentality of seeing the hell, and the two roads that blocked the Han army had already been undersupported.
What was difficult to support was the Qiang troops that blocked the cavalry that came to reinforce the cavalry.
The Han army has more than 20,000 infantry cavalry on the north bank of Jishui, and there is also a number of about 3,000 armored cavalry equipment on the battlefield, and they annihilated more than 10,000 Qiang troops fighting with them for the first time.
That is the equipped heavy cavalry, which is currently recognized as the strongest type of army on land, Hu Yansheng was really scared a little miserably, especially the Tiger Ben Army annihilated more than 10,000 troops as soon as it appeared.
Now that the armor and cavalry of the Han army have appeared, how could Yao Yizhong not know that if he didn't try to attack generally, the encirclement would soon be broken through.
He deeply believes that once there is a gap in the encirclement, Liu Yan will definitely choose to break through, after all, as long as he is an individual, he will not want to be in the encirclement.
Yao Yizhong was guessing Liu Yan with a normal mentality, but I have to say that Yao Yizhong was wrong when he thought so.
Because he can directly obtain some kinds of supplies from the center of the town, Liu Yan's grain does not rely on logistics lines, and as long as there are enough buildings such as blacksmith shops, there will be no shortage of armor and troops.
As long as Liu Yan can hold on, a war of attrition and being besieged are not disadvantages at all.
A kind of urgency made Yao Yizhong's heart anxious, he thought that he could not delay any longer, and the tentative general offensive broke out today.
"Your Majesty, it's time to send out the cavalry."
Ji Chang found Yao Yizhong's obvious intentions, and said slightly heavily: "In this situation, we must seize the initiative. ” That's complete nonsense, it can be imagined that in the face of Yao Yizhong's general attack, Ji Chang felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
"The reinforcements on our periphery are probably about to break through the containment line."
Sang Yu didn't use a question, he said with seriousness: "It's time to block the big river."
Liu Yan agreed with what Ji Chang and Sang Yu said.
Now that there are reinforcements to break through the blocking line arranged by Yao Yizhong, and the elite troops at hand of Yao Yizhong have also appeared, it was suspected that Yao Yizhong did not transfer all his troops to the south bank of the Yellow River, but now there are no longer such doubts.
Then it means that Liu Yan's desired goal has basically been achieved, and it is really time to enter the decisive stage.
If Yao Yizhong had a choice, he would have chosen to enter the general offensive in the middle of autumn.
It's only the middle of summer, the livestock haven't grown fat, and the weather is really too hot, so it's really not a good time to start a war.
In many cases, there is simply no choice, just like Yao Yizhong had to lead his army to Qingzhou, not to wave his army to the northwest to fight with Zhang's Liangguo.
"Lord, the Han army dispatched cavalry, divided into two parts, one to attack the east and one to the south."
"Distribution of Forces" "Lord Hui: The Han cavalry in the east should have 5,000, and the Han cavalry in the south should be about 3,000."
Yao Yizhong, who heard the report, was actually quite speechless, and if he wanted to say that he had any feelings, he scolded the number of cavalry of the Han army in his heart and increased again.
One thing Yao Yizhong was extremely sure of was that there were really no reinforcements to break through the encirclement and enter Liu Yan's camp.
In this way, he only got an explanation, the number of Han troops at the beginning was by no means 30,000, and the cavalry found was not the real number that Liu Yan had on hand.
"Today, we must attack the Han army camp" "Yes" The elite troops used by Yao Yizhong are equipped infantry, but they are not equipped heavy infantry, as long as they wear iron armor in any era, they can be called armor, but not all armor soldiers are heavy infantry, it is related to what style of infantry armor to wear, and how many layers of armor to wear.
The Qiang people should have about 40,000 elite troops, and the source of soldiers is to select warriors who are good at fighting from millions of Qiang people.
The number of turquoise cavalry was 4,000, the number of mounted infantry was more than 10,000, and the remaining 14,000 were relatively well-armed but only in leather armor.
Of course, 40,000 is just the number brought by Yao Yizhong, and there must be some scattered all over the place, that is, the armor and equipment will not be so sophisticated.
The Central Plains was arbitrarily ravaged by the Hu people, which not only caused serious damage to agricultural production, but also reduced the productivity of craftsmen.
What's more important is that the Hu people are only brutal for mining or something, and the prospecting relies on the Jin people, and if they want to make weapons and armor, many craftsmen must have enough resources.
Shijie Zhao said that it is more like a multi-tribal alliance than a multi-tribal union, more like a common alliance of the Qian, Qiang, and Di peoples, although they also have a national framework, but the chaotic politics coupled with the mentality of the Qianzu people to govern the Central Plains, the national strength is in a downward trend rather than rising.
Yao Yizhong can still make up more than 10,000 troops wearing metal, and Fu Hong of the Di tribe can make up four or five thousand.
This is also the difference between the historical background of the ethnic group and the control of the territory, just like the reason that the Qiang tribe can use more resources as the overlord of the Central Plains.
The main attack direction of the Qiang is placed in the north.
After half a month of their operation, the terrain is already different from before the war, too many man-made fortifications seem to be disorganized, but it is necessary to carefully distinguish that it is simply leaving the cavalry attack channel.
Liu Yan sent cavalry to deal with the east and south, and for the north side, he could only transfer infantry to attack.
Almost at the distance of about 100 paces of the attacking Qiang troops, the rumbling drums were beaten in the camp on the north side of the Han army, and several gates were greatly opened, first a large number of sword and shield soldiers poured out, followed by tower shield soldiers as the second group, followed by spearmen and the rest of the troops.

The attacking Qiang troops have reached a distance of about 100 paces from the Han army, which means that the Qiang archers are also within their own range, and the battlefield is currently a scene where arrows fly back and forth like locusts, and people are shot and fall all the time.
The most terrifying thing is the Han army's car crossbows, bed crossbows and stone throwing vehicles, even if they form a shield array, they can't resist the thick crossbow arrows, let alone try to block the stone bullets that are smashed.
As soon as the sword and shield soldiers came out of the camp, they held a round shield and rushed directly to the enemy, the target of the charge was the trench, and when they moved forward, they faced the arrows fired by the enemy, and at every moment there were people falling in the middle of the charge.
The tower shield soldiers marched out of the camp for a certain distance and began to form a shield array, first a small number of people formed a small shield array, and then used the small shield array to converge into a large shield array, and in the process, some people were hit by arrows and kept falling.
The Han army went out of the camp to meet the battle, and the Qiang troops were actually more happy than others.
Before the Han army left the camp, the number of Qiang troops attacking the north side would not be less than 3,000, and before that, the number of Han soldiers they killed or killed would definitely not exceed 100.
Originally, Ji Chang suggested that the rock-throwing truck be changed to throw oil tanks, but Liu Yan did not accept it.
Yes, the oil tank was prepared for a long time, but it was never fired at all from the beginning to the end.
They were intended to be used by Liu Yan at the most critical time, and there was no crisis situation in the previous battle, let alone a target worthy of the fire oil canist.
"Wait for the fleet to blockade the Yellow River and cut off the retreat of Yao Yizhong's department."
A cruel expression appeared on Liu Yan's face, and he said with a cruel smile: "They may become the key to forcing the enemy army to surrender. ” Liu Yan's heart is still very big, what he wants is not only to defeat Yao Yizhong, nor to simply annihilate him, if he can force hundreds of thousands of enemy troops to surrender and make the prisoners of war become laborers, wouldn't it be better than killing them all Of course, Liu Yan's heart is big enough, but it is undecided whether the situation can develop according to the plan.
"The progress of the war is already very fast."
Liu Yan said with emotion: "On the one hand, Yao Yizhong wants to defeat us quickly, so that he can wave his army in the northwest region to deal with Zhang's Liangguo; On the other hand, Shi Hu kept urging. ” What is said is that the total number of troops dispatched by both sides is hundreds of thousands, and it is normal for an army of this scale to fight for several years, and it is only half a month from their contact to the decisive stage, which is already extremely hasty.
"Zhang Jun took advantage."
Sang Yu said with a smile: "Yao Yizhong is coming to Qingzhou, not to wave the northwest.
Shouldn't we ask Ryokuni for some benefits?"
Sang Yu could still laugh because he saw that his tower shield soldiers had already formed a shield wall about five or six hundred meters long, and the shield wall was slowly pushing forward with the sound of trumpets, accompanied by the crossbowmen in it, and they were constantly firing crossbow arrows.
Under the continuous coverage of the Han army's crossbowmen, the archers on the Qiang side suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a situation where the long-range troops on the Han side were still ferociously demonstrating that arrows were raining down, and the long-range troops on the Qiang side became turtles with shrunken heads.
