Chapter 17 Divine Sword Guard
For seven days, the Xianbei army attacked seven days and night.
Under the Yanmen, the bodies piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed into rivers, dyeing the yellow sand black and red.
On these seven days, He Chen did not say a word about the form of defense of Yanmen. He just quietly looked at Zhang Liao calmly commanding the soldiers and guarding the defense line. Although there were several dangerous circumstances, with the three military orders, the soldiers fought back the enemy's waves of attacks. It's just that with the passage of time, every day, He Chen's face becomes more gloomy.
The enemy's intention has begun to be revealed. The Yanmen is closed, which can be said to be a strong attack or a ps-off. Because at the same time, Xianbei also launched a more fierce offensive against Guangwu. Within five days, 3,000 soldiers of the Guangwu garrison were killed in the battle, the main general Zhang Lie was killed in the line of duty, and the deputy general Wang was seriously injured. More than a dozen officials above the generals, the tooth generals and Quchang under him were damaged. If it hadn't been for the 10,000 defenders in Dongxingguan to support, I'm afraid that Guangwu would have lost their hands. The fierceness of the battle during this period can be imagined without looking at it.
But now Yanmen is out of breath, and it is impossible to dispatch too many troops to support.
Within three days of Guangwu City, more than ten urgent documents have been issued in a row.
If you don't send troops again, the city will be broken within ten days.
I'm afraid that from now on, all areas outside the Great Wall will be the back garden of Xianbei, the hunting ground, and you can come and go freely.
Almost without thinking about it, He Chen asked Huang Zhong to lead 8,000 soldiers under the hook of the silver moon and secretly go out of Longling, ready to turn to Guancheng to support Guangwukou. These 8,000 soldiers were pulled out by Zhang Liao, who exhausted his brains and withdrew his clothes and diet for Huang Zhong. Zhang Liao had to start using the Xiongnu cavalry as stepmen to defend the city in the next period of tight conditions.
There is another headache. The news came from Pingshun City that nearly ten thousand cavalry did not attack the city, but bypassed the strong city, plundered everywhere, and seized the grain road. Lou Gui organized two waves of grain trucks, which was killed and scattered in this way, and then was then burned by a fire. Fortunately, the materials in Yanmen are well prepared, otherwise this alone will be enough for Zhang Liao to have a headache for a while.
Xianbeilian said that he couldn't attack, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In addition, the eastern line had broken through from the Flying Fox Road, and there began to show signs of center of gravity shift. But even so, there are still more than 70,000 to 80,000 villages in the Baicaokou Pass, always staring at Yanmen and Guancheng.
At this time, He Chen finally released the Xiongnu cavalry in his hand and asked Huchuquan to hedge with cavalry to sweep the rear Xianbei. And he took 3,000 songs to retreat from the Yanmen Gate and was ready to plug this leaky spoon with Huchuquan. These three thousand parts: one thousand are the "Shen Gun Forbidden Guard Corps", one thousand are the "Sword Forbidden Guards", and a thousand "Bingjia Legion" of land garbage.
Speaking of the "God's Sword Forbidden Guard", this is that after He Chen's name was transferred to Bingzhou Mu, the system distributed the remaining reward. Among them, the military talisman is the "heavy infantry". The alien cavalry was invincible, and there was almost no solution before the musket was born. In the hodgepodge of Bingzhou, he will fight with the cavalry sooner or later. Since he can't organize the "Yiqi Cavalry Regiment" in a short time, he must organize the heavy steps in any case. Even if he smashes the pot and sells iron and spends all his old money, He Chen did not frown. The "Sword Forbidden Guard Regiment" cooperates with the "Shen Gun Forbidden Guards". Although they dare not say that they can kill the cavalry, at least they will not be like ordinary infantry, they will be straddled and dispersed as soon as they are rushed.
But there is a problem that makes He Chen a headache. There are only 1,000 people in each regiment. What the big deal can he do?
After leaving Yanmen for only two days, the waiter has found the enemy's movement.
Xianbei cavalry split into countless small units. Although they did not dare to attack Yanmen Xiongguan or attack Pingshunjian City, they have begun to extend into the hinterland to kill, burn and loot, and do all kinds of evil. According to the news from Pingshun City, Xianbei, on the one hand, suppressed the Yanmen defense line, so that Zhang Liao could not transfer troops. On the other hand, there were signs of increasing troops from the gap in Weizhou, ready to disrupt all defense deployments in Bingzhou from the hinterland.
The Xiongnu cavalry of Huchuquan has been against the Xianbei cavalry.
The scouts have broken out no less than dozens of battles, and Huchuquan has lost more or less.
This made Huchuquan, a straightforward man with high eyes above the top, lose face. On the one hand, he regretted not being the elite of the clan, and on the other hand, he praised Haikou in front of He Chen, which would drive Xianbei out of the smooth area in any case.
On this day, as soon as He Chen left Kugu Town, the Xiongnu cavalry on the outer defense line found the Xianbei cavalry. A battle of thousands of cavalry broke out between the two sides, and then Huchuquan, who got the news, personally led the troops to support it. It didn't take long for the Xianbei cavalry to retreat, and it was rare for Huchuquan to win. They drove the horse straight to catch up, and the distance from the He Chen Brigade in the rear was getting farther and farther away. When He Chen faintly felt bad, the subsequent news of scout made his foreboding come true, and the kitchen spring was ambushed.
At least 20,000 Xianbei besieged the Huchuquan Xiongnu cavalry in Lingqiu, and the battle was extremely tragic.
What He Chen was worried about finally appeared, and the Xianbei cavalry from the direction of Weizhou had begun to come up one after another. But He Chen can't help but call for the kitchen spring, otherwise his hard-won relationship with Yu Fuluo will inevitably be exhausted. He could only resist the feeling of numbness in his scalp and lead the 3,000 parts and the remaining 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry to support it. Special arms and general skills are his greatest support and magic weapon.
But the infantry speed was so bad that He Chen had to let Yue Yaer lead the cavalry to support first.
Yue Yaer, the wife of Huchuquan, is an equally tough woman. Her martial arts are by no means inferior to that of He Chen's generals. In the group of heroes, although the force is not as good as that of Huang Wudie, it also makes He Chen willing to treat her as a fierce general to guard the city.
Although He Chen was very anxious and accelerated the march, how could he run through four feet with two feet? Moreover, at this time, you can't abandon the auxiliary convoy, which is the only barrier for the infantry to march in the plains. Otherwise, in case of Xianbei cavalry appear, there is no danger to defend. If they are rushed by them, even the iron belt will be washed over.
It took almost two hours for the infantry brigade to catch up with the battlefield.
There are some undulating hills and flats in front of them, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the two fierce races, the Xiongnu and Xianbei, are fighting against each other. The yellow sand rolled, the hoofs were dense, the sound of killing shocked the sky, and people turned over. At this time, the two sides have been completely strangled together, and they don't pay attention to any hedging strategies. It's completely a close hand-to-hand fight with Ma Bei. The Xiongnu cavalry were obviously at a disadvantage and were besieged by Xianbei and struggled. Although Huchuquan has the courage of ten thousand people, under a handful of wolf teeth, I don't know how many Xianbei cavalry have died in it, but even so, they still can't stand the power of Xianbei and retreat.
Xianbei cavalry obviously also found He Chen's infantry brigade. With the separation of a thousand cavalry, they sped away.
That's right, there are only a thousand cavalry. Don't blame the commander of Xianbei for looking at He Chen so little. You should know that the cavalry killed almost all the arms on the plain land. Not to mention that He Chen only has 3,000 infantry, even 5,000 people. Under the condition that there is no danger to defend, he was charged by a thousand cavalry in a wave, and the formation can be immediately scattered. If another wave is organized, it is to harvest life like straw. In this era, it is impossible for the infantry to withstand the cavalry charge without the help of land and equipment.
But He Chen was born to break this routine.
"Set up." He Chen looked at the thousands of horses galloping and the roaring cavalry. His whole body was boiling, and he couldn't help shouting harshly.
"Walala" auxiliary soldiers quickly pushed the vehicles away, just like ants moving, fast and chaotic. Before a long time, they pushed all the auxiliary vehicles to the front line, forming a simple peripheral defense position, and surrounding all the soldiers in the middle.
A thousand "Sword Forbidden Guards" are divided into four square formations, each of 200 people, and are divided into four groups. The four directions of east, west, north and south are on the front line of the auxiliary car, and a thousand "Singgun Forbidden Guards" are hidden behind, surrounding the scale armored sailors and He Chen in the middle.
Xianbei's thousand cavalry came very fast, not rushing up in an instant.
Looking at the fierce momentum, like a mountain rush, not to mention the soldiers, even He Chen also squeezed a cold sweat. Whether the "God Sword Guard" can withstand the cavalry charge and whether it can be useful in the post-Japanese war depends on this time.
"Esand the shield." Ji Ling looked at the Xianbei cavalry rushing up almost in a line and was about to cross the vehicle, and couldn't help shouting. Since the formation of the magic sword soldiers began, Ji Ling has become the best choice in He Chen's mind. Although this person is brave, he can only be a general at most, not a handsome man. He is most suitable for commanding such an elite part.
"Papa" sword soldier's hand is shaped like a shield like a rib. The whole shield is as smooth as a mirror, and the color is bright. At this time, it was like being unscrewed. The shield, which was only one meter long, suddenly stretched out two triangular shields on the upper and lower sides, forming an elliptical shield of about 1.5 meters in an instant. Just stretch out two triangular shields, and the top and bottom are almost like blades, all of which are extremely sharp. Almost at the same time, all the swordsmen fiercely inserted the shield to the ground. The sharp edge, the weight of the shield, and the strong strength of the soldiers suddenly inserted the shield firmly on the ground. The shield is white as a whole, mixed with a lot of sand, silver and steel in the middle. It stands more than a meter high. The most terrible thing is the sharp edge at the top. As long as the horse is not careful, it can be cut in the lower abdomen and die on the spot.
This is the "Sword Forbidden Guard" created by He Chen. Among other things, this thousand-sided round shield alone consumes almost half of Bingzhou's financial resources, including springs, material steel plates, skilled craftsmen, and countless efforts on each side. The folding shield is absolutely a huge invention of this era.
The Xianbei cavalry looked at the fierce shield array in front of them and was obviously a little flustered, but they, who had never passed this situation, quickly rushed up again.
