Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fight to the Death and Don't Retreat
An attack that was bound to be won was repulsed, and the Xianbei people were all blue and looked at each other, and they fought wishful thinking, crushing this Han army, so that the cowardly Han people were afraid, and let them retreat in the city, and not come out to oppose them. In this way, they had a choice, but they didn't expect that the cowardly Han people in their eyes would dare to go out of the city to fight them, and give them a head start.
Kebineng, who proposed to eat this batch of Han people, did not look good, and the failure of the decision would seriously lose his prestige, and a few tribal leaders just now looked at their faces very badly. Kebi can be resentful in his heart, even if he doesn't decide to attack the Han people, can you still stop! However, at this time, he was as difficult to ride a tiger as all the Xianbei people, so he could only say resolutely: "The matter has come to this point, and I have not attacked the Han people with all my strength." ”
Some leaders were distressed by the loss, and said coldly: "What if you fail again." ”
Kebineng was furious, pulled out the Han army saber purchased at a high price, grabbed the leader, and put the sharp saber on his neck, "You are as cowardly as a mouse on the grassland, you are not worthy of being the descendant of a noble wolf, we have 90,000 fierce wolf cubs, even if the Han people are clothed with hard iron skins, they are still weak sheep, 90,000 powerful wolves, is it not better than 6,000 sheep." ”
Worthy of being the Xianbei monarch who will crisscross the prairie in the future, Kebineng's words frightened these leaders and re-established their confidence.
Looking around at these fat pig-like heads, Kebineng sneered in his heart, their tribesmen fed mosquitoes in the summer, and they didn't even have sheepskins to wrap their feet in the winter, and their slave girls ate better food than ordinary tribesmen. They are only worried that their subordinates will not be able to live the life of their noble lord after being swallowed by Putou. For these people, Kebineng despised them very much.
The desperate Xianbei people were very strong, and the 40,000, 40,000 elite cavalry were still a few miles away from the hill, so they rode their horses and charged like the Shuofang army, such a long distance, the sprinting horses could not stop at all. Moreover, the Xianbei people have been monitoring the changes of the Shuofang army, and no one has gone to fill the pit, so the Xianbei people are relieved to charge.
On the top of the mountain, Bian Xi saw the actions of the Xianbei people, and snorted coldly: "Except for 10,000 more, there is no change, these Xianbei slaves are really stupid." "Bian Xi was arrested by Yun four years ago, and Yun couldn't think of a way to deal with him, so he didn't feel at ease, and it was a bit immoral to cut him across the board, so he put him under Liao Hua as a deputy. Liao Hua's martial arts are slightly stronger than Bian Xi, and his mind is delicate, Bian Xi was eaten to death by Liao Hua, and now a few years have passed, Yun is rising step by step, and Bian Xi has also become an officer, so he has put down other thoughts and concentrated on following Yun Fugui.
Liao Hua on the side did not speak, he knew that it was not Xianbei who was stupid, but absolute self-confidence under absolute strength. No matter how you look at it, there are 90,000 people in your hands, and the other party only has 6,000, and it is the easiest and most effective way to go directly to A.
Liao Hua sneered, stupid Xianbei people, let you see how powerful.
"The crossbowmen are prepared in groups of one, two, and three, I don't give orders, no one is allowed to shoot arrows, and those who violate the order will be beheaded immediately!" ”
The archers, pikemen, and axemen after the crossbowmen were also ready on the orders of the commander.
The Han army's bow and crossbow have a range of nearly 1,000 steps, an effective range of 500 steps, and the maximum damage is indeed 100 steps. In the wave of attacks just now, in fact, very few people died under the crossbow arrows, and most of them were trampled to death after being transferred into the trap.
Liao Hua was as calm as a mountain, and when the Xianbei people rushed to his four hundred steps, he shouted and ordered: "The first group releases arrows!" ”
Six hundred and three consecutive strong crossbows shot out like rain, strongly blocking the momentum of the Xianbei people's charge, the first group stopped, and the second group went up.
In the rear, more than 2,000 archers threw their arrows into the sky, these arrows were heavy and woody, and they could easily penetrate the bodies and horses of the Xianbei people after being thrown at elevation angles.
The charge of tens of thousands of people was too dense, the hit rate was almost 100 percent, the Xianbei people suffered heavy casualties, and the Xianbei generals who took the lead in the charge were dripping blood, but the leaders gave a death order, and he could only lead the Xianbei cavalry to charge forward.
Seeing that the Xianbei cavalry led by Liao Hua was only more than a hundred paces away from him, Liao Hua immediately ordered the crossbowmen to run back.
At this time, the first and second groups of crossbowmen had already pushed to the rear, and the third group of six hundred crossbowmen immediately turned their heads and ran. Revealing what had been blocked by them before, rejecting the horse! The Xianbei leader laughed at the stupidity and short-sightedness of the Shuo army, and even let the crossbowmen stand in front of the cavalry charge, but he did not expect that the generals of the Shuo army were far more cunning than them.
The Xianbei general had already shown despair, and at this time he could only shout hoarsely: "Bang! Smash their rejections! Then he rushed to death, pierced through his body by the spikes of the rejected horse.
The Xianbei cavalry in front of them ran into the rejection horse with all their might, and thousands of cavalry were pierced by the rejection. This row of rejecting horses is a straight giant tree six to seven zhang high that the Shuofang army has found, although the leakage surface is only two zhang high, but it is as solid as a rock, and it can't be hit at all, let alone the thin horses that have lost weight after a winter. The dense repulsion of horses blocked the sight of the crossbowmen, but the archers did not stop firing, and the arrows that were constantly thrown continued to take the lives of the Xianbei people.
Until the thick rejection horse was continuously collided and cracked by the Xianbei people with their lives, the Xianbei people had lost one percent of their lives.
After rejecting the horse, Zhang Yanqing, who was in charge of commanding the horse swordsman, sank, and the most difficult moment finally came, "All the formations, tree guns!" ”
Zhang Yanqing held a big slashing saber, standing in the first row of the knife array, he was tall, strong in martial arts, very admired by the soldiers, Zhang Yanqing took the lead, so that the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased.
"All ready! Zhang Yanqing shouted, his eyes were fixed on the front, his palms were sweating coldly, and his calves trembled excitedly because of the next big battle. This batch of heavy infantry was established by Yun who looted the materials of the entire Shuofang County and tried his best to disagree with the public. From the beginning of its establishment to the present, it has been enjoying the same treatment as Yun's own soldiers, and the armor, weapons, and living utensils are all given priority, but they have never made decisive contributions on the battlefield, so whether it is a general or a civil servant, they all have great opinions on this army. From top to bottom, Zhang Yanqing and every soldier of the heavy armor soldiers held their breath in their hearts, wanting to prove their worth to others and prove that the lord's vision was not wrong. Today, this opportunity has finally arrived, and they will not fail. At the pre-war meeting, Yun Jiang explained the plan clearly to every general, and at the same time handed over the most important task to the heavy infantry, this trust, this glory, Zhang Yanqing swore with his life in his heart that he would never live up to it.
Finally, the roaring Xianbei cavalry rushed in, and Zhang Yanqing shouted like thunder: "Kill!" ”
This group of carefully selected strong men wearing heavy armor and holding swords shouted together: "Kill! At the same time, the soldiers in the first row swung their swords in unison, and at the same time moved forward indomitably.
"Kill! "Take three steps forward, one step at a time, and no matter what kind of enemy you are in front of, you will be cut off with a saber.
"Kill! "After another three steps, several of the heavy infantry of the first row fell, and the rear row was immediately replaced, and the first row was not slackened, and it was still as solid as a rock.
"Kill! "It's still three steps, one move forward.
Like a solid rock in the waves, the hoplites defended all danger and stood firm to block the attacks of the Xianbei people.
Liao Hua Bian Xi led the crossbowmen to lower their bows and crossbows, holding spears and shields to protect the two wings of the heavy infantry.
In the end, it was two thousand sword and shield soldiers and archers led by Tian Xu. On the order of Yun, Tian Xu, who was in charge of the command, was extremely anxious, and secretly prayed that Zhang Yanqing in front of him could hold on and not let the sword and shield soldiers play. It's not that they're greedy for life and afraid of death, but because these two thousand troops are the last strength of the Shuofang army, and if even the reserves are forced to fight in a battle, then they are not far from defeat.
Just when the Shuofang army generals on the mountain bag were anxious and struggling to support, the leaders of the Xianbei tribe below had almost gone crazy, and the 40,000 elite cavalry, which was the essence of each tribe, had already lost half of it here. All the tribal leaders have abandoned other ideas, crushed the Shuofang army in front, and plundered and merged states to make up for the losses of their own tribes, this is their only choice at present!
Killed a few commanders who took the lead in retreating, and dispatched 30,000 cavalry to charge, and the Xianbei people were already desperate.
The change of the Xianbei people was keenly discovered by Tian Xu on the mountain bag, Tian Xu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his soldiers to fire arrows!
The anxious cloud with 1,500 cavalry hiding in the woods behind the Xianbei people immediately ordered, "Charge, charge, kill these Xianbei slaves!" ”
