Chapter 435: Beast Army
Wang Li understands the advantages and disadvantages of the armor-piercing army better than Charles, and these Hu people have been fighting for such a long time, the physical consumption of the soldiers is huge, he has ordered his subordinates to fight alternately, but the number of opponents is too much, if their cavalry and foot soldiers can no longer complete the division of the enemy's battlefield, then they will not die under the enemy's spear in the end, they will be dragged down by their armor and shields.
Sang Kun blindly rushed in the direction of Charles, and even the tens of thousands of people behind him ran towards this place, and behind them, Meng Tian and his golden fire cavalry were in hot pursuit. Thousands of people chased tens of thousands of people, which is extremely rare on the battlefield. The golden fire cavalry quickly caught up with Sang Kun's men and horses, whether it was a foot soldier or a cavalry on a horse, under the strong armor and sharp spear of the fire cavalry, there was no room to fight back, and where the golden fire cavalry passed, all the flesh and blood of the Hu people were under their feet.
"Charles!" Sang Kun finally joined Charles, Sang Kun said: "The enemy has heavy cavalry protected by heavy armor, and our soldiers are not their opponents, how is the battle situation on your side?"
Charles's hair was already messy, and because of the unfavorable war, his whole face looked quite hideous and terrifying. "The enemy's body has been dragged down by my soldiers, you came just in time, lead your soldiers to charge these Qin troops, they will definitely not be able to stop it. ”
Sang Kun looked at the ironclad army of the Qin army in front of him, which was surrounded by the blood wolf mercenary group and the guards, and he couldn't help but feel timid. Iron tools are scarce in the steppe. Therefore, they couldn't build a spear as long and sharp as the Qin army, and seeing that the Qin army actually had such a legion with heavy armor all over its body, this was not only in the grassland, but even the Western Regions did not have the courage of that city to build such a legion.
Seeing that Sang Kun didn't react, Charles frowned and asked, "What, don't you dare?"
Although he didn't want to go, if he didn't go, Sang Kun had reason to believe that the next person to die under Charles's knife was likely to be himself.
"Okay, I'll go, and I hope the enemy will be as you say, without resistance. Sang Kun rode on his horse and led the rest of his cavalry towards the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army.
Wang Li found this cavalry, and the direction in which they charged was his own.
"Watch out for the enemy cavalry, turn into a horse formation!" Wang Li ordered loudly, although the physical strength on his body was not much, but he could hold on as long as he could.
The soldiers of the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army began to change their formations again, gathering together from countless small fortresses, forming an iron house surrounded by giant shields, and on the walls of this "house", there were countless spears sticking out from it, like a steel hedgehog, and if you want to attack from any side, you will be injured by the steel thorns on the hedgehog's body.
When Sang Kun rushed halfway through, he was scared, he knew very well how invincible this defense mode was, and there was no particularly good way to win. In fact, as Xiang Sang Kun feared, his cavalry came into contact with the steel fortress of the Qin army, and without exception, they all fell to the ground under the spears sticking out of the fortress, and everyone died.
Sang Kun was terrified, he was glad that he had the foresight and was not the first to rush forward, otherwise at the foot of the "hedgehog" at this time, there would be a corpse of his own lying there.
He rode his war horse from the Qin army's spear to the side, circled around the formation of the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army, and then returned to Charles's side and asked, "Charles, didn't you say that the Qin army's physical strength was exhausted by your men, how can they still block my cavalry?"
Sang Kun stopped in front of the Qin army, and Charles saw it. "You coward, you let your men rush to the front, if we make it back alive this time, I will definitely report this to my lord. ”
"I only dared to let my men rush forward because I believed your words, and now you are more responsible than mine for so many casualties in front of the enemy's ranks. Sang Kun had no scruples about stopping himself, but opened his mouth to blame Charles.
Charles snorted angrily, and did not continue to entangle with Sang Kun, no matter what, Sang Kun was always an outsider in front of them, the powerful people in the Western Regions, if it weren't for the fact that he had a cavalry in his hand, then no one would want such a lost dog.
"The cavalry of the Qin army is unstoppable, and we are no match for such heavy cavalry. The fire cavalry has been killed not far away, and Charles saw that this invincible heavy armored cavalry, like the heavy armored army of the Qin army in front of him, was a hard bone, and if he wanted to eat it, he was afraid that he would pay the price of blood.
"Sangkun, withdraw from the battlefield with your men. Charles suddenly said to Sangkun.
Let yourself withdraw from the battlefield with people, now that the war is in full swing, even if you want to leave, I'm afraid that the Qin army will not let you retreat. "Let me take someone away?"
Charles took a horn from his waist, and then under Sangkun's nose, he took out another tiger skin hat and put it on his head. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Sang Kun: "I advise you to leave, otherwise I won't care if you are broken into thousands of pieces." ”
Sang Kun thought of something, his eyes showed a deep fear, and then he shouted to retreat, and retreated out of the battlefield with his men and horses.
After seeing the Great Leader pull out his tiger fur hat and put it on his head, his Blood Wolf Mercenary Regiment retreated from around the Hundred Battles Armor Piercing Army, and then everyone took out something made of fierce animal skin and put it on their bodies, and then surrounded the guards without animal skins in the middle.
"Woo~" From the usual horn sound, the different horn sound blew out from the horn on Charles's mouth, and all the Hu people on the battlefield heard this horn sound, their eyes were full of fear, and they didn't care about continuing to fight with the Qin army, so they turned around and ran.
The sudden retreat of the Hu people made the Qin army a little confused, and even the generals who led the troops in battle did not understand what tricks the Hu people were doing. Just in case, they also began to shrink their formation and retreated to the walls of the northern county.
"General, the Hu people suddenly retreated. "Meng Li, Du Hui, Meng Tianci, Xue Bin and others all retreated, because they were worried that there would be an ambush in the sudden retreat of the Hu people, so everyone did not dare to continue the pursuit.
Meng Tian looked at the only remaining Hu army on the battlefield that confronted Wang Li's Hundred Battles Armor-piercing Army, all of them had colorful animal fur on their bodies, which looked a little ridiculous at this time. "Order the soldiers to prepare for defense, we don't know what the Hu people are going to do next, be careful. ”
"No. ”
Without the galloping of war horses and the fight of humans, there was suddenly silence outside the west gate of Beijun City, and the silence was a little terrifying.
Suddenly, the war horses of the Qin army kept neighing, these war horses that had been trained for a long time were originally very docile, but at this time, they suddenly went crazy, kept raising their heads and neighing, and the horses' hooves were trampling on the ground restlessly, and the Qin army's position was a little flustered for a while.
"General, look, something seems to be rushing towards us from the southwest!" Finally controlling the war horse under his crotch, Du Hui pointed to the southwest of the battlefield and said.
Everyone looked to the southwest, and all they saw was dust billowing there, and it seemed that something was coming in this direction, but they couldn't see what was inside the dust, and they could only hear the roar of a wild beast in the distance.
The speed of the dust was getting faster and faster, and soon it was less than five miles away from the front of the Qin army's formation, and from this distance it was already clear what was rushing over. It's okay not to look at it, but after a look, the Qin army finally knew why the Hu people retreated so quickly, because it was not people or war horses that rushed towards them, but countless fierce beasts, countless tigers, leopards and jackals coming towards the northern county city.
Meng Tian saw the group of beasts rushing over, he didn't expect that the Hu people would be able to launch a beast to attack, not to mention an army, even if it was really a thousand troops facing such a beast, it would be difficult to stop it.
"Retreat, retreat, go back to the city!" Meng Tian knew that such a beast was rushing over, and they couldn't resist it at all. It is true that there are hundreds of thousands of people, but compared to the Hu people, this group of beasts brings people not only numerical suppression, but also courage suppression. No matter how powerful a human being, in the face of such a horde of fierce beasts, it would be false to say that he was not timid.
"Quick, open the city gate!" Han Jin, who was watching the battle on the city wall, saw countless fierce beasts rushing over, so he ordered the soldiers defending the city to open the city gate early, so that the Qin army fighting outside the city could return to the city.
The beasts are very fast, and these beasts don't care if you have too many people, they are just a pack of hungry beasts, they bite people when they see them, and they eat horses when they see them. When you see your familiar companion being used as food in the mouth of a tiger, I am afraid that you will have a shadow of the tiger for the rest of your life.
After Wang Li led the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army, their defensive formation made these fierce beasts unable to speak, and even if there were fierce beasts that occasionally crossed the shield wall, they would soon be stabbed to death by the spears in the hands of the ironclad army who swarmed up. In the end, everyone withdrew into the city of Beijun, and finally counted the casualties, this time the Qin army suffered a total of nearly 150,000 casualties, except for most of them who were killed in battle with the Hu people, a few people died under the herd of beasts rushing over, and many were injured by the war horses that were frightened by the beasts and ran wild.
The herd of beasts did not disperse after the Qin army retreated to the city, because there were a large number of corpses outside the city, which was like a good meal for them, and for the Qin soldiers guarding the city wall, this was undoubtedly a tragedy that happened in front of their eyes.
