Chapter 58 Northern and Southern Han Wu Chengding established the four princes to expand their territory 9
The Jiaozhou soldier pretending to be Wei Yan is strong and strong, and he is also a good hand in the army. He was disdainful when he saw Yueji's hammer. The generals in the Central Plains mostly used knives, guns and halberd, and there were few hammers, while those who used hammers were often only strong but not proficient in martial arts. Although the soldiers were ordered by Wei Yan to be defeated in this battle, he also wanted to try Yue Jijin. After all, there were not many opportunities to pretend to be a general to fight against the enemy generals.
When the soldiers saw Yueji hammer coming, they beat the horse and danced the knife and cut it. When the knife and hammer collided, he heard a sound. The knife in the soldier's hand was directly smashed by Yueji, and he didn't know where he flew. The soldier lost his weapon in a round and the tiger's mouth cracked. Only then did he know that the general was not good. He turned around and left.
Yueji laughed in the back and said, "General Han, that's all! Chasing me!"
As soon as the two armies chased and fled, they came to the ambush. Wei Yan saw clearly with a telescope made in Jiaozhou in his hand and told his sergeants to get ready. He first let go of the Yueji front army. When the Chinese army arrived at the mountain, he led the sergeants to rush out and rushed straight to the Yuejiben array.
Qiang soldiers were defenseless, which caught Wei Yan off guard and had no power to fight back. Thousands of people were killed and injured in an in an unknown moment. However, just when Wei Yan wanted to expand the results, Yue Ji of the front army and Yadan, who was pressing the rear army, also reacted and commanded the iron chariots to come forward to meet the enemy.
There is an essential difference between these iron chariots and Dartmen's darts. Although the dart car can form a formation, its fundamental purpose is transportation. Although the iron soldiers can be transported, the fundamental purpose is to fight. These iron cars are larger and more numerous than dart cars, but the materials contained in the car are very limited in order to reduce the weight of the car. The already light iron car ran like flying under the drag of mules and horses and Qiang soldiers. Soon they surrounded and wrapped Wei Yan's soldiers and horses, and then the bows and crossbows suddenly shot and killed many Wei Yan soldiers.
Wei Yan didn't expect that the iron car could be used like this, and he actually trapped himself in the core. Wei Yan rushed left and right and found that the iron car was densely surrounded, just like a city. He couldn't get rid of it at all, so he simply ordered the soldiers to rely on the iron car to defend.
The combat effectiveness of Qiang soldiers is not as good as that of the Jiaozhou army, which can be won in multiple words. Wei Yan's vanguard is only 10,000 horses, and it is not a problem to ambush and fight to win a battle, but he is really no match with 150,000 Qiang soldiers. Moreover, the Qiang soldiers are very cunning and do not fight head-on with the Jiaozhou army. They just keep shooting arrows into the iron car circle and push the iron car to shrink the circle, making the Jiaozhou army in the circle more dense, and there is no room to dodge arrows.
The Jiaozhou army led by Wei Yan was not a vegetarian, holding a shield to defend and arching back. The weapons and armor of the Jiaozhou army are of high quality, which can be called the best princes in the world. The arrows of the Qiang soldiers may not be able to shoot through the armor of the Jiaozhou army, but the arrows of the Jiaozhou army can kill the Qiang soldiers. On the battlefield, you can often see the Jiaozhou army with more than ten arrows inserted in hand, and the Qiang soldiers basically lost their combat effectiveness when they were hit by an arrow.
Yadan and Yueji were shocked by the tenacious combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhou army. Soon they realized that the equipment of the Jiaozhou army was a good thing, which made them more crazy and urged the Qiang soldiers to keep attacking.
Three hours have passed, and more than half of the Jiaozhou army has suffered losses, but the losses of Qiang soldiers are even greater, and more than 20,000 Qiang soldiers have fallen into a pool of blood. Wei Yan's eyes were red at this time. He couldn't break through the car array and could only shoot arrows with his subordinates. Although one soldier on the left and right protected Wei Yan with an iron shield, because Wei Yan had never taken a step back on the front line, he was still hit by a few arrows. Fortunately, the arrows were not deep and there was no injury.
The soldiers saw Wei Yan hit by the arrow several times and advised him to retreat into the army first, but Wei Yan did not retreat. He blamed himself at this time. If he hadn't thought about defeating the Qiang soldiers with a small number of soldiers and horses, he would not have let the soldiers fall into such a desperate situation. The pain on his body is a punishment for Wei Yan. Only continuous fighting and injuries will make him feel better.
Archery! Keep arching! I'd like to see how long they can stay!" Yue Ji urged Qiang soldiers, and his eyes were already red. The ambush started by Wei Yan caused nearly 10,000 casualties under Yueji's command. In the later position battle, more than 10,000 Qiang soldiers died in front of the battle, and the casualties of the Jiaozhou army were less than 5,000. After calculating, five Qiang soldiers can replace the life of a Jiaozhou army, which makes Yueji unacceptable at all. You know, Yueji's strength is more than ten times more than Wei Yan's.
In the circle surrounded by iron cars, arrows have been laid on the ground, like a carpet. The Jiaozhou Army standing in the center of the carpet is about to become a part of the carpet, and the rain-like arrows completely covered them. The smaller the number of people in the battle, the stronger the blow will be for everyone. The Jiaozhou Army, which can still fight back at the beginning, can only defend with half of its staff reduction. Wei Yan knew in his heart that if this passive beating situation continues, he must lose.
"Puff~" was another sound of an arrow into the flesh. Wei Yan was hit by an arrow in his leg again, but he didn't say a word. Wei Yan knew that the shield soldiers in front of him had tried their best, because they had ten times more arrows in their legs than the arrows on Wei Yan's legs. The iron shield wanted to cover the key point of his upper body, so he couldn't take care of his thighs. The two shielded soldiers tried their best to block Wei Yan's legs with their thighs to prevent him from being hit by an arrow.
Wei Yan knew how heavy the injuries on the legs of the two soldiers were. Even if they could survive after the war, their legs would be ruined. Wei Yan didn't know what made them so persistent that he still stood still under this kind of leg injury and resisted the enemy's arrow rain.
When the Jiaozhou army just fell into the situation of passive beating, Wei Yan thought about breaking through with all his strength. Although the opportunity is slim, Wei Yan has the hope of rushing out of the siege with his superb martial arts skills. However, the two soldiers in front of him made Wei Yan dispel the idea of breaking through, because once they broke through the siege, the two soldiers who were hit by arrows in their legs would inevitably die. So Wei Yan decided to continue to wait for reinforcements.
Wei Yan shot another arrow. His hand had been rubbed out of blood by the bowstring, and his arms began to tremble because of frequent force, but he never stopped shooting arrows. Because at this time, there are not many people in the Jiaozhou army who can fight back. Most soldiers are holding shields to defend, and only people like Wei Yan who do not need their own defense have the opportunity to fight back. Wei Yan did not want to waste this opportunity for a moment, because this opportunity was desperately created by the two shielded soldiers in front of him.
After another half an hour, nearly a thousand Jiaozhou troops fell on the carpet paved with arrows and integrated with the carpet. Wei Yan's arrows have already been shot, and the arrows carried by the soldiers around him have also been shot. At this time, Wei Yan held a shield in his left and right hand, like a reef in the sea stubbornly resisting the rain of arrows. Behind him were two soldiers who were unconscious with arrows in their legs.
