Chapter 661 The Romance of the Three Kingdoms War
Shansang.
"There is no name for Ru Qiang among the Five Barbarians. The Yao family was originally a minister of Jin and was just seeking survival from the chaos. Since they have returned to the country, they should be loyal to the emperor to repay their kindness. How dare they plan to rebel and cause chaos to dig their own graves!"
Yang Feng yelled with his horse.
Before he could lead the cavalry to arrive, Yao Xiang, who led the army to counterattack, defeated Liu Qi and Wang Binzhi. The two died in the chaos. Yao Xiang's brother Yao Yi guarded Shansang City. Yao Xiang led his army to occupy Shaobi. He mainly had to rely on Shaobi's military farm to provide food. A simple mountain mulberry city was useless. Shaobi, one of the four major water conservancy facilities in ancient times, could provide food and clothing for his tens of thousands of households. It was not unreasonable that Yao Xiang was supported by the people. At least he would not burn, kill, plunder and even eat people like locusts. Instead, he took his refugees to produce agriculturally like nomads, and would do military farming wherever he went.
When Yang Feng led his army into Henan and met Xun Xian who was walking along the Bian River, Yao Xiang immediately led his army northward. Yao Yi stood guard at Shansang. He attacked from the outside, preparing to defeat Yang Feng and Xun Xian's coalition forces in one fell swoop.
Then it turned into a decisive battle in the wild.
"Yao Xiang, you are the only one who is guilty of you, why bother to hurt the soldiers? How about you and I fight to the death? Your father is brave and brave enough to be considered a hero. Let me see if he is a tiger father without a dog or Liu Jingsheng'er!"
Yang Feng continued to show off his power.
Behind him is a square formation of five hundred cavalrymen.
On both wings of cavalry, there are all chain armor light cavalry. So far, after a year and a half of steel advances, Yang Feng has basically completed the equipment target for his subordinates. After all, there are only less than 30,000 sets of armor, and there is not much steel in total, especially he has hydraulic machinery. Those hydraulic forging hammers can use a few strokes for cold forging of a plate armor. Later, as the workers became more and more skilled, he could make thousands of sets in a month. At this time, the newly built armor weapons have begun to be transferred to reserves in case he needs them when he needs them. It is estimated that in another two years his arsenal will be able to reserve armor weapons to arm the 50,000 army.
But this time he brought a heavy cavalry battalion and five light cavalry battalions, each with five hundred people.
As for the infantry not brought.
After all, his main opponent is Murong Jun.
He had to keep the main force in the northern defense territory to the greatest extent to prevent Murong Jun from taking the opportunity to attack. Although Shansang was not too far away, it was only six or seven hundred miles. What's more, he was just doing a side job this time, and he had already given Sima Yu enough face with three thousand cavalry, especially because the stone gate was blocked, his transport ship could not directly enter the Bian River from the Yellow River, unless he went to Jishui to Dayeze to Sishui to Xuzhou and then to Bian River, but he had to have a big circle.
There is no need to be such trouble.
It is enough to have Xun Xian’s Jin army infantry assistance.
The latter's strength also expanded very quickly, mainly because Yang Feng blocked the Yan army, while Duan Kan of Qingzhou surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. The originally small warlords along the Sishui River had no choice but to choose to surrender to him nearby. Also, in history, he needed to solve it with force, such as Wang Teng, who occupied the Yinan area, surrendered directly. The Yan army that had originally left the Sishui River did not exist. As long as Duan Kan did not rebel and attack the flanks, then Yang Feng would serve as a barrier for him. Xun Xian, or the Yingchuan Xun family he represented, was safe in Xunzhou, which was also an important reason why he and Yang Feng became brothers.
Yang Feng is his shield.
This is also the reason why Xun Xian can bring 10,000 elite troops to participate in the battle against Yao Xiang. His army in history should have fought with the Yan army in Taishan, Langya and other counties.
"Yao Xiang, if you don't dare to fight, just accept this!"
Yang Feng picked up a woman's clothes from his subordinates and waved them in the air.
There was a burst of laughter behind him.
Yao Xiang's troops were silent on the other side, and then a handsome guy comparable to a model rode a black-mouthed yellow horse with a shoulder height of nearly 1.6 meters, obviously a Central Asian sweat-blooded horse. Then Yao Xiang's formation cheered.
"Ma'am, it's so good to sell!"
Yang Feng looked at the handsome face jealously.
Yao Xiang is eight feet and five inches tall, which is about two meters at this time. This is not the height of the Romance of Legends. This is recorded in historical books. He uses the same historical books to describe his majestic and mighty appearance. As for his arms lengths above his knees, he should ignore it. But no matter what, a handsome guy with a height of two meters and a height comparable to a model, stood up in armor and riding a horse, but he still compared Yang Feng, who was older and his son, to an old man.
"Ran Min, Shi treats you with kindness, and you forgot your kindness and do your righteousness to destroy Shi. What's the face of blame for me!"
Yao Xiang said with a sneer.
"How can my Han man be the minions of the Hu Captains? In the past, I was just lying on firewood and tasting gall to the Jienu. How could the blood of millions of Han people who died in the Central Plains be in vain? To endure the temporary humiliation, in order to avenge the deep revenge of the blood sea, today I led the Hu army to wipe out the rebellious Hu army and return the bright world of China!"
Yang Feng said.
Then he pointed his horse at Yao Xiang.
"Showing a horse to fight, or taking this woman's clothes?"
He picked up the women's clothing and shouted.
There was a clamor behind him, and a young general behind Yao Xiang suddenly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, but Yao Xiang pushed him away, regardless of his obstacles, took off the horse from behind, and then activated his famous BMW to take Yang Feng straight to Yang Feng. The young general frowned and retreated, and quickly retreated back to their formation, but then hid into the crowd. At this time, Yang Feng had already begun a one-on-one fight with Yao Xiang.
Both of them are horses...
In fact, the strange weapons in the Romance are pure nonsense.
Carrying an eighty-pound big sword to the battlefield is equivalent to suicide. Even if there is an invincible general who can use this, his war horse can't stand the weight of people, armor and weapons, and he may not have to lie down after running a few steps. As for a few hundred pounds of hammers, it is really like Yang Feng to find a rhino to ride. It is not that there is no strange weapon, one is ceremonial guard, two is training, and three is special use, but the eternal main weapon of cavalry is the spear or its variant.
The generals would not fight one-on-one, and their weapons were mainly halberds, but they were not Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was used by the guard of honor. The real halberd was a horizontal branch next to the spear. The mainstream weapons of the Three Kingdoms, such as Zhang Liao, used this. The development of the Wei and Jin dynasties made the horizontal branch of the halberd useless. The thing did not hook heavy armor, and it had to rely on simple pricks to break the armor. Therefore, the heavy cavalry spear or horse spear that removed the horizontal branch became the mainstream, and it has been throughout the entire era of cavalry.
Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
This is a time similar to that of European knights.
The heavy cavalry and twelve horses in the harness dominate the battlefield, just like European canned iron and crisp wooden cavalry, and the tactics are basically the same.
Amid the thunderous drum sound, two galloping horses, Yang Feng and Yao Xiang held their horses in their hands and kept accelerating, keeping the horses pointing with the bumps of the charge, and pulling the distance closer at a speed of more than twenty meters per second. Countless roars sounded behind them. In this roar, the two arrived in front of each other, and then the horses collided. The two quickly crossed, turning around with the raised dust. After a slight pause, the second round of charge began...
But at this moment, Yang Feng suddenly heard an abnormal sound behind him.
Accompanied by Xiaoqian's call, he lay directly on the horse's back, and at the same time a crossbow arrow flew over his head. At this time, the running horse also came to Yao Xiang. The latter stabbed the horse in his hand. Yang Feng on the horse rolled to the right, avoiding the horse, and he was hanging on the side of the horse. At the moment of interlacing, he grabbed Yao Xiang's saddle, like a swing, rising and falling behind Yao Xiang in the air. Yao Xiang tied the reins and his eyebrows were neighing and standing up, but a ring-headed knife fell on his neck. Before he could react, Yang Feng knocked down his helmet and grabbed his bun. Then he slashed hard with the ring-headed knife in his hand. Yao Xiang's handsome face was strangely raised up, and blood suddenly ejaculated from the front...
The entire battlefield was silent.
The young general holding the crossbow looked at this scene as stupid as he watched Yang Feng's hand was vigorously exerted, and at the same time, he pulled the knife again. Yao Xiang's head was shot into his hand as the blood was sprayed, and the dead body was pushed down by him.
"Yao Xiang has been executed, and you will not surrender yet!"
Yang Feng held Yao Xiang's head and roared in the neighing sound of the war horse under his crotch.
"Kill, kill him and avenge your brother!"
The young general suddenly pulled the crossbow machine and shouted at the same time.
The Qiang cavalry lined up and the cavalry behind Yang Feng also activated their war horses.
Yang Feng sneered and looked at the young general, and suddenly activated Yao Xiang's dark eyebrows. The latter reluctantly shook his body to try to throw him off, but then Yang Feng's whip fell off, and the war horse, which was called a divine horse, rushed out as if he was angry. While running, Yang Feng took off the bow that also belonged to Yao Xiang, pulled the bow and took the arrow to aim at the young general. With the upload of the visual data and Xiaoqian's calculation, he instantly completed the aim. The sharp arrow flew out, and almost the vibration of the bow string had not stopped. Yang Feng's second arrow was pulled and opened the bow and aimed at the same time. He sprayed sharp arrows outwards at a speed of less than half a second like a machine gun. Just when he was ten feet apart from the enemy, all the arrows were shot out.
As for his goal...
His target looked at him blankly, and more than a dozen arrows pierced him into a hedgehog.
Yang Feng still maintained the charge.
But the Qiang cavalry in front of him were involuntarily separated to the sides. The psychological pressure brought to the soldiers on the battlefield was huge. The invincible general with his commander's head hanging beside the saddle was even more trembling, especially behind him, there were cavalrymen stepping on the sound of horse hooves like thunder. The armor reflected the sun's light, and even the iron-faced cavalry on his face was a nightmare on the battlefield.
No one can stop the torrent of cavalry.
No one could stop the invincible general in front of this cavalry.
As the Qiang cavalry separated, the guy with arrows in his arms among them stood alone in front of Yang Feng like a rock in the river. Because there were too many arrows on his body, he didn't even fall down.
Yang Feng, who was galloping on the horse, came to him in a blink of an eye, raised his sword on the horse's back. At the moment when the two horses intersected, a metal cold light cut through the air, accompanied by blood rushing straight into the sky like a fountain, a human head flew up and fell into the dust. The dark eyebrows were behind the horse's hooves and the dust stirred up by the horse's hooves, and then trotted a few steps. On the horse's back, Yang Feng raised the sword in his hand and raised the head down, holding it in the sky like a flag...
"Those who surrender are exempt from death, follow me to Yecheng for the people!"
He shouted arrogantly.
The Qiang cavalry hesitated, and as one of them dismounted and kneeled down, the others also dismounted and knelt down. The battle ended like this.
In fact, these refugees have already wandered enough. Many of them have even wandered with the Yao family since the previous generation. From the distant Nan'an, Longxi, and Pang De's hometown during the Three Kingdoms period, they have wandered for thousands of miles to Huaibei for decades. They have already wandered enough. As long as they don't kill them, they can give them a place to live, and they don't mind changing their owners, especially since they had wandered here from Hebei before. Originally, in history, it was because they were unwilling to live in the south to return to the north that Yao Xiang took them to wander again. Now that Yang Feng can allow them to go back, they are of course willing to surrender to him.
As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty...
The Jiangdong family hoped that he would get these uneasy guys away quickly!
These guys are like landmines on the Huaihe River. One day they will cause something to happen, they will directly approach the Yangtze River. The Jiangdong family does not want their leisurely and comfortable life to be destroyed.
In this way, Yang Feng completed the expansion of his strength. He obtained more than 200,000 people, including 50,000 young and middle-aged people, but not the Yao family, all Yao Yizhong's brothers and nephews were taken out by Yang Feng and sent to Jiankang as a prisoner. As for how Sima Yu dealt with them, it was not Yang Feng's business. Yao Xiang died and Yao Chang was also beheaded by him. The king of the Later Qin who strangled Fu Jian in history was the one who sneaked him into a hedgehog and beheaded by him. Yao Xiang's death and his refugee group surrendered mean that after the extermination of the Jie people, another name among the Five Barbarians was completely erased. Of course, the Qiang people who surrendered to Yang Feng could not be a single force. They would be incorporated into the Twelve Guards, and by their next generation, they would probably not remember their former names again.
In this way, the Five Huns occupied the Tiefu tribe of the Xiongnu in northern Shaanxi at this time, the only ones were the Xianbei in the north and the Di people in Guanzhong.
The latter includes the Former Qin Dynasty and Qiu Chi.
The former is very huge. Murong, Duan Kan in Qingzhou, Tuoba in Daibei, Yuwen scattered after being destroyed by the Murong family, Tuoba in Hehuang is actually Tuoba. It has different pronunciations and evolved into different ethnic groups. In addition, there is Tuohun, where the Murong family moved westward. The latter originated from Murong Jun's elder brother Murong Tuyuhun. After the two brothers fell out, Murong Tuyuhun moved westward with their own tribe members, and it continued strangely until the Tang Dynasty before being destroyed by Tubo.
"This has to be a list!"
