Chapter 208: One Ring and One Ring
The commander looked at these subordinates in amazement, what was going on with them, were they crazy with hunger!? Hungry and crazy, shouldn't you ignore him like this?
He suddenly realized that this was going to bomb the camp or mutiny!
Some soldiers are always exploited and oppressed by their leaders, and they can still have a little hope of getting by on weekdays, so they just endure it. Now that they have no loyalty to eat, it is certainly possible to do something to him.
The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes, but fortunately, it is daytime and the situation is relatively controllable. And he just said that he would fight over and grab meat to eat, so there is still room for maneuver.
Despite the heat in his crotch, he shouted, "Brothers! Kill the past and eat meat! ”
"Whoa!"
"Whew!"
"Whew~"
These hundreds of Hun soldiers roared together, surrounded by the commander, waded through the water and killed them.
The Huns on the other side saw that the army had really been killed, and left with mutton. Mutton is a good thing, plus there are horses, so you can't let the other party catch up.
However, they still underestimated the madness of the Hun soldiers of the old royal court, who spread their legs and ran wildly, comparable to the hungry wolves on the grassland.
However, Xu Rong is the best at ambushing, how can he not be prepared?
"Lay down your arms! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite! ”
Xu Huang's roar suppressed those crazy Hun soldiers, eating meat is very important, yes, but there is no need to give up your life in vain.
But how could they, having wasted their limited physical strength, be able to fight a brave battalion that was particularly warlike, well-armed, and had high morale?
……
There were only four thousand commanders under the men of the Zuo Dulu King, and one was killed by the dense fire arrows by the Fenshui ten days ago, and there were still three left.
He hadn't noticed anything unusual, but the smell of mutton had reached him through the scout's report.
Not long ago, he had suffered a big loss, and he hurriedly summoned the remaining three commanders to inquire about the situation.
As a result, not only did one of them appear for a long time, but even more than half of that person's subordinates disappeared. When I inquired, I found out that they had committed suicide in the past.
Knowing that the situation was not good, King Zuo Dulu hurriedly sent someone to inform the rest of the kings, and gathered the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers and horses and hurried to the Fenshui shoal.
They happened to encounter a few defeated soldiers, and they heard that the commander was chasing the enemy and encountered an ambush, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the ambush, so the commander was still struggling to hold on!
Zuo Dulu King guessed that this was a trap by Xu Rong and others, but thinking about it, he only had four thousand commanders, and he had already broken one before, and now another one was about to be gone, he couldn't afford this loss.
Thinking that the other kings would soon come to their aid, he simply led the whole army to kill him. Maybe you can make a great contribution and open the way back to Xihe County!
"Rush! Go and save them, they don't have as many troops as we do! ”
He led the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers and horses through the Fenshui shoal and quickly penetrated into the opposite bank.
Xu Rong saw that Zuo Dulu King's soldiers and horses were sent over, and he no longer retained his strength, and instructed Xu Huang to exert their strength.
Xu Huang heard two long horns and knew that the other party had taken the bait, and it was time to kill the little man of the Hun commander.
The soldiers of the brave barbarian battalion stopped shooting at the Huns, raised their big shields, sprinted at full speed, and hit the Huns head-on with their big shields.
The Huns only carried light weapons such as riding bows and scimitars, and they could not block the collision of the big shield at all.
After the big shield, a row of two-handed heavy weapons smashed over, except for a few Hun soldiers who were clever and dodged, the rest were either dead or wounded.
The remaining unarmored enemies were completely unable to defeat the heavily armored brave battalion in the melee, and were wiped out in an instant.
The Hun commander relied on his strength to withstand the impact of the big shield, and he also killed a brave barbarian battalion soldier.
Xu Huang saw that an arrow shot through the chest of the commander. Where did the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers dare to resist, they all knelt down and surrendered.
This time, the brave battalion only paid the price of more than 30 people, killed more than 300 enemy soldiers, and captured no less than 200 people.
But that's just the beginning, the real appetizer is already in place.
Xu Rong commanded 10,000 Tuntian troops to appear on the flank of the Zuo Dulu King, and he commanded the shield spearmen to form a neat phalanx, and under the cover of a large number of archers, they pressed towards the Zuo Dulu King step by step.
Behind Zuo Dulu King is Fenshui, this section of the water is too deep to evacuate, and in desperation, he also commanded the cavalry to try to disrupt the infantry formation through cavalry shooting.
However, these infantry are well-trained and well-equipped, and the coordination of various arms is still very tacit, and the cavalry attack only loses troops in vain.
Xu Huang and the Yongman battalion handed over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the Tuntian army, and they had already surrounded them. Liu Bao led 2,000 cavalry and also blocked the retreat of Zuo Dulu King.
His more than 2,000 people would be able to carry the elite heavy armored infantry, but they were light cavalry that was not suitable for defense, and it was estimated that Xu Rong would be all gone after a round of attacks.
King Zuo Dulu was already panicking, and the army of the Hun kings he was looking forward to was not at all a shadow. He just realized how stupid he was, more than 2,000 light cavalry dared to drill into the pockets of Xu Rong's more than 40,000 people.
He glanced around, and the opposite side was dominated by heavy infantry, only in his impression was that it was inferior to Liu Bao and other cavalry that were not superior in numbers on the side of the old royal court.
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "I heard that this Xu Rong is also proficient in cavalry, but now it seems that he is just in vain!" Did he think this would kill me? ”
"Hahaha! The Fenshui behind it is not river water! My cavalry dared to come because the horses could swim through! ”
He was right, for these light cavalry, although this section of Fenshui was as deep as two or three people, it could not be regarded as impassable terrain. On the contrary, for the heavy infantry, Fenshui became the biggest obstacle to the pursuit.
Zuo Dulu King shouted loudly, ordered the remaining 2,000 people to disperse immediately, and then swam across the Fenshui on horseback.
His cavalry were herdsmen who had grown up on horseback, and they knew that horses were far better at swimming than humans, and could fully control horses to swim across the Fenshui, not to mention that they did not carry heavy baggage and heavy equipment.
Zuo Dulu King said: "Haha! Xu Rong, you are really a famous general of the Xiliang Army, you even think that a river can trap the Hun cavalry! ”
Xu Rong saw it clearly in the big array, he smiled, and ordered: "Put a wolf smoke and tell the lord that the enemy has been completely annihilated."
The herald was a little strange, but he knew that everything was planned, so he immediately lit a beacon to deliver the news.
After Xu Rong gave the order, he watched Zuo Dulu King and a large number of cavalry all go into the water, and said: "These herdsmen have good riding skills, but on the water, they are just prey for others to slaughter."
Seeing that the first group of Hun cavalry to enter the water was about to dock, the river was cold and urgent, and they didn't want to stay a little longer, so all their attention was on the horses and the advance.
Suddenly, dozens of salt boats appeared upstream, and the boats rushed down the river at great speed, directly ramming the horses swimming in the water.
