If we were to select a unit that hated the Hu people the most in the Western Jin Dynasty, the number of votes of the Qihu Army would definitely be the top.

They couldn't help but hate the Hu people, because the first thing the Huns and Han countries captured was Shanxi, where the soldiers were headed, the lives were scattered, the prosperous cities were turned into scorched earth, the strong young people either died in battle or were sold to the enemy, the old and weak were driven to fill the trenches, women became the trophy of the Hu people, and babies were worn on the tip of the spear... They were all forced by the Hu people, and they fled their homes, wandered around in the land of North China, living a life of stagnation. Although their tragic fate was inseparable from our Jin-style exploitation and incompetence when facing the Hu people, the Hu people were slaughtering their relatives, destroying their gardens, and forcing them to escape from Shanxi!

There is no way to hate it!

Seeing these Hu people crowded together, the beggars were all covered in blood and they didn't need to command. They picked up crossbows and shot them fiercely. For a moment, the arrows in the city gate corridor were like rain. The Hu people squeezed into the city gate had no room for dodge at all. They could only use their flesh and blood to endure the baptism of the cold arrowheads. For a moment, screams were loud. As the arrow rain swept across, the chaotic crowd fell down in pieces!

There were too many Hu people in the corridor and too dense. Many people did not fall down even a dozen arrows, which played a shield. Some smart Hu people even grabbed the people around them and blocked them. No matter how the other party screamed and cursed, they refused to let go. The unlucky guy who blocked them must have been shot into an arrow, but they were very lucky to survive the rain of arrows. Dozens of archers of beggars shot all the arrows in the quiver. The corpses were stacked in the corridor and blood was flowing all over the ground, but there were still many Hu people who were not shot down. The beggars did not talk nonsense, and threw down the crossbow and pulled it out was more suitable here.

The short-lived man used in a narrow and crowded environment, and used a shield to protect his body and rushed forward. The Hu people who survived the rain of arrows knew very well that if they could not defend the Yiyang city gate, they would probably not be able to survive today! In a desperate situation, these Hu people burst out with great courage, and they waved their scimitars and short spears to greet them. The two armies were like two furious beasts, colliding wildly in this narrow battlefield, biting, roaring, and under the shadow of swords and swords, the soldiers rushing in front of them were rows of dead lights, and then filled in rows. In a blink of an eye, the land was already flowing into a river of blood.

Many Hu soldiers who had lost their ability to move, but were not dead for a while were trampled by the crowd, wailing shrillly with bloody hands to pull the big feet on their wounds, and even bit them directly with their teeth, but they had no effect. Both sides were already crazy and had no sense of screaming, cursing, begging, and crying at them. Many wounded soldiers were trampled to death.

More beggars rushed up with long ladders. The corridor of the city gate was too narrow, so they could only play the tactic of adding fuel. Dozens of people and dozens of people were filled in. The large army could not be used, so they carried the ladders to rush towards the city wall, put the ladder on it, and then climbed up like an ant climbing up the tree. On the city wall, amid Jin Yuan's hissing, the Hu people finally recovered from extreme panic. Arrow towers desperately poured out arrow rain, and the Hu people hiding behind the city wall

The soldiers either shoot with arrows, throw stones, or even poke them directly with spears, attacking every beggar who is trying to climb up. The beggars are constantly shot by arrows, hit by stones, and stabbed by spears, and falling from a high place screaming. The bodies are piled up layer by layer under the city wall, and blood gathers into a bloody pit, and the scene is extremely tragic. However, the beggars turn a blind eye to all this and still rush up one team after another, not taking their lives seriously.

This desperate fighting style really shocked Jin Yuan. He gasped: "Is Jingou crazy? They don't want to die anymore!"

The deputy general was so shocked that he couldn't speak. They had fought with the Jin army for so many years, but they had never encountered such an army that was not afraid of death.

Tens of meters away, more than a thousand archers in the sound camp were divided into three rows, striking their bows and shooting fiercely on the city wall. Their numbers were obviously not many, but their firepower was surprisingly fierce. The arrows shot were denser than sandstorms. Many Hu archers were so pressed that they could not lift their heads. As soon as they emerged, they would be shot immediately and they would fall from the city wall. Jin Yuan was the first time to experience such a perverted firepower. He found that these archers not only shot fast, but also shot very accurately. Many Hu people who were shot were hit on their foreheads or throats and killed with one arrow. The more he fought, he felt something was wrong, and he shouted at the deputy general: "I urge the two generals to send troops to support them quickly, otherwise we would not be able to defend Yiyang!"

The deputy general hurried to convey the order.

In fact, there is no need, because Shi Le and Hu Yanyan had already received a report as soon as the Jin army launched an attack on Yiyang. After learning that the Jin army had another magic attack, they were also shocked after burning a huge gap in the fence in a very short time. Considering that Shi Le's troops suffered heavy losses, half of the eighteen veterans were killed and injured, it seemed inappropriate to continue to rush to the front. Hu Yanyan asked Shi Le to stay in the camp and led 8,000 Hu Nan cavalry to drive out of the Fenghuang Mountain camp to support Yiyang City.

This move is very necessary, because in just a little while, a city gate in Yiyang was broken. The Jin army rushed into the corridor of the city gate and fought desperately with Jin Yuan's troops in the corridor, fighting extremely fiercely. The fierce attack of the Jin army was completely beyond his expectations. He knew that if he did not provide strong support, Jin Yuan would probably not be able to defend Yiyang.

However, from which direction should we launch an attack to better support Yiyang?

Before, Hu Yanyan didn't need to consider these things at all. Anyway, the morale of the Jin army opposite was low and the training was poor. No matter how many people they had, they just rushed over! But now he had to think seriously, because today's Jin army is completely different from the previous five slags of war. The big problem Hu Yanyan has to face now is that he almost lost all the Qiang, Hu and Jiehu infantry in the Battle of Xincheng. In other words, now he only has cavalry and no infantry, which left a huge flaw in his combat system. And the cavalry under his command is mainly light cavalry in leather armor, and there are not many heavy cavalry, which is another huge flaw.

As early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty, cavalry had already stepped onto the stage of history and had terrible power. For example, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry had a considerable number of cavalry, mainly concentrated in tiger cavalry. The leopard cavalry is not, the leopard cavalry is a man wearing armor, and the horse does not wear armor. It emphasizes a mobility ability, which can often run 300 miles in a day and night. The saying "Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive" can be passed down through the ages, and is largely due to the Tiger and Leopard cavalry: You are still wondering when Cao Cao will come to attack yourself, his most elite cavalry has already rushed to your nose, and I ask if you are afraid! The leopard cavalry is the vanguard who runs lightning, and the tiger cavalry follows. When facing the enemy, the leopard cavalry entangles the enemy and disrupts the enemy. The tiger and leopard cavalry is the core.

When the aircraft was ripe, it suddenly came out, like a huge hammer and smashed the enemy's dog head. With this tactic, the tiger and leopard cavalry traversed across the nine provinces and never failed. While people were amazed at their terrible combat effectiveness, they also saw the terrifying power of equipped cavalry. However, the arms race is not yet fierce, and the barbarians from both sides of the north and south, and even the foreign barbarians were desperately burning money to build equipped cavalry. The current equipped cavalry is still a rare group of troops. The strict requirements for personnel, horses, and the high costs of armor maintenance, horse training, feeding, etc. make it unrealistic to pull out large-scale cavalry units in this era. The Huns had some cavalry but were not in scale, and they mainly relied on light cavalry to fight.

On the Great Plain, the light-armored flying knights wearing leather armor and strong arch and hanging scimitars came and went like the wind, so the Jin army could not defeat them, but now they faced a little loss when they faced opponents with a large number of iron armored heavy cavalry. This sign was actually exposed very early. When the Huns and Han Kingdom attacked Jinyang and Hebei, they were repeatedly defeated by the Xianbei people, who were mainly heavy cavalry, which was a very bad sign. However, the scale of their battle with the Xianbei people was not large, and the losses were not large. Therefore, from Liu Yuan to Liu Cong, they did not pay attention to the shortcomings in their own military branches, and they could not defeat the Xianbei people. Just don’t provoke them for the time being, and concentrate their efforts to destroy the Western Jin Dynasty first!

Of course, there is another very important reason why they do not pay attention to it, that is, by recruiting Western Jin cavalry and tribal branches such as Xianbei and Wuhuan, they also formed a considerable heavy cavalry unit. This is a perfect use. Since this method can make up for the shortcomings, why spend a lot of money to build heavy cavalry yourself?

Hu Yanyan was also a supporter of the politician policy because he saved money! But now he found that this kind of damn policy was simply terrible! Thanks to this kind of damn policy, he could only use light cavalry as the main force to attack the Jin army's stalemate, which was treated with heavy forces, and time seemed to have retreated back to the period of the Hun and Han War!

Is there anything worse than this?

have.

During the Hun and Han War, they came and went like the wind. They fought if they could win, and ran away if they couldn't win. But now they couldn't run away. Once they ran away, they were gone! Liu Cong issued a death order, requiring him and Shi Le to hold the Jin army in Yiyang for ten days. It's only the fifth day, and there are still five days left! If they ran away at this time, Liu Cong's plan would be ruined. Liu Cong would not tear them back!

Well, he may not necessarily tear Shi Le, because Shi Le is at most a partner and shareholder of the Huns and Han Kingdom. But he is very likely to tear him out. He is not a shareholder. He is a serious Hun minister. If Liu Cong wants to kill him, he doesn’t have to choose a life!
