Chapter 286: Storming the Enemy Formation
There are not many horses pulling the goods wagons, but only a hundred, if there are more, you can use those horses to set up a horse formation, and let the horse formation rush the Wuhuan military horses guarding the gate of the city gate.
It's a pity. However, it doesn't matter, even if it is a hundred or so horses, this has already given Liu Xian the confidence to use these horses to rush into the city gate hole.
Without further ado, Liu Xian immediately asked the caravan guard to lead the way, and the group quickly found the horses.
As he said, these horses looked like old and weak horses, and the Wuhuan soldiers didn't look at them at all, and didn't take them as a matter of time, and after sending them here, they were casually locked in a pen, and they were not even tied to the reins. Perhaps, these horses were left here, waiting to be slaughtered and eaten for meat.
Liu Xian told his plan, and finally said to everyone: "Brothers, this time is a battle of our life and death. Now, I Liu Xian don't want to say anything to you anymore, I just need you to understand that it's not that I, Liu Xian, want you to face so many enemies, it's not that I want you to die. If executed well, we can all do without dying. Now, pick your own and select about ten people, and you, the ten, will be responsible for opening the gates of the city. If you don't pick them out, you will hide them, and when our Han army comes in, you will join us again. ”
"Young master, you still need to choose, right? We live and die together, our lives can be said to be given by the young master, and I followed the young master into this stone gate, and I didn't plan to go out alive anymore. ”
"That's it, young master, we don't care anything, as long as the young master tells us to do it, we will do it, even if it's to send it to death!"
Of the more than 30 caravan guards who were selected as cavalry, none of them were willing to hide at this time, and they all hoped to follow Liu Xian to attack those Wuhuan military horses guarding the gate of the city gate.
It is also true that these more than 30 people are the strongest people selected from the more than 1,000 caravan guards, and in addition to their ability, they also have loyalty to Liu Xian.
The people of this ancient era were so simple, it was Liu Xian who gave them food, gave them a better job, and let them see the hope of a better life in the future. Therefore, they are all willing to give their lives to Liu Xian. This is the loyalty of the ancients.
Liu Xian pressed his hand and said, "Brothers, the original plan required us to attack together, but now we don't need it." After all, this time to attack Shimen Pass, we don't need to get involved. But since we are involved, we must all put life and death out of the way first. But that's the way it is, but who wants to die if they can live? If we kill it together, there will definitely be casualties. However, the key now is that we don't need so many people to rush over together, with these hundreds of horses, to disrupt their military formation, rush close to the gate of the city gate and enter the city gate hole, I already have full certainty. All I need now is about ten people, and these more than ten people are only responsible for rushing into the city gate and going forward to open the gate of the city gate. Guarding the city gate hole is guarded by himself and the dancing butterfly. ”
"But the young master ......"
"No, but, to be honest, your current strength is still insufficient, you are all gone, and it won't play a big role, so you have to let me fight the enemy with the dancing butterfly, you only need to open the city gate, and Gongsun Chan outside the city will wave his army into the city."
Liu Xian didn't wait for them to say anything, and said undoubtedly.
Liu Xian had already taken all the details into account in his mind.
This time, it really doesn't need these people of their own to rush over together. In fact, even if there were more than ten or twenty more people attacking the formation of the Wuhuan army and horses, it really wouldn't have much effect, at best, it would be more casualties and sacrifices.
Liu Xian's thirty or so people were all cavalry seeds carefully selected by Liu Xian, and Liu Xian didn't want to sacrifice them all in this battle.
What's more, even if they were to attack the enemy formation together, Liu Xian didn't plan to let them kill the enemy, this time it was pointless for them to kill the enemy.
In a word, Liu Xian only asked them to ride on those horses, follow the horses, and follow behind Liu Xian and Huang Wudie.
Soon, they singled out ten people.
In fact, the thirty or so cavalrymen often train together, and they know who is more powerful.
After picking a good person, Liu Xian asked the remaining people to help, and first went to pick out a dozen or so relatively good horses, which were left over for Liu Xian, Huang Wudie and the other ten people to ride. The rest of the war horses were pulled together and formed a shock horse formation that rushed to the gate of the city gate.
Liu Xian finally explained to the attackers: "You all remember that during the storming of the enemy formation, you are not allowed to show your head, lie on the back of the horse, or even find a way to hide under the belly of the horse." What you have to do is not to rush into battle to kill the enemy, but to follow this son and the dancing butterfly as closely as possible, and when you get to the gate of the city, you don't need to fight, you just need to rush in, kill the enemy soldiers guarding the gate in the city gate, and open the gate of the city gate as quickly as possible. The sooner you open the gates, the less dangerous we will be. As long as it goes according to plan, then we are not in danger. ”
"Yes! We must do what the young master commands! ”
……
In front of the gate of the city pass, more than 2,000 Wuhuan troops were waiting in battle, they may not know whether anyone would attack their gate of the city pass, but there was a fire in the city, and the Han army outside was waiting for them. The Wuhuan general also had a cautious mentality, and let his sergeants guard the gate of the city gate. He thought that if the fire in the city pass was not extinguished one day, then they must guard the gate of the city gate, and not even a fly should be allowed to enter or leave.
This can be regarded as a crooked fight, which presents Liu Xian with a problem.
There was chaos inside and outside the city, and the noise was very loud, so when Liu Xian and Huang Wudie rode on the back of a bareback horse and led a hundred or so horses to rush towards the gate of the city gate, they were not alert at the first time.
However, the Wuhuan general had already sensed that something was wrong, at least when a hundred or so horses started to gallop together, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, and the ground vibration emitted made him feel that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, the smoke and dust from the fire have enveloped the whole city, and the gate of the city gate is located in the south of the stone gate of the city, and the north wind has blown the smoke that has been generated, so the visibility in the gate of the city gate is a little low.
When Liu Xian led this group of horses to a distance of more than 100 and 200 steps away from the gate of the city gate, the more than 20 people who stayed behind each of them stabbed behind the buttocks of the remaining horses, and after stabbing them, they rolled off their horses and found a place to hide.
And the horses, who had been stabbed, screamed in pain, and suddenly accelerated forward as if they were mad.
A small number of horses led all the horses, and they all ran wildly towards the gate of the city.
In the midst of the smoke, the Wuhuan soldiers who were lined up and waiting for the battle finally saw the horses galloping over, and they were a little stunned.
The Wuhuan general was even more shocked, and he immediately thought that something was wrong.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, pay attention, you must resist the enemy who comes to attack, and resist this general! ”
The Wuhuan general shouted the order at the first time.
At this time, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed in, and it was still rushing at high speed, this must not be their own cavalry, it must be the enemy.
The reaction of this Wuhuan general is not unpleasant.
But in fact, he didn't see clearly whether it was the madness of the horses or the cavalry, and he didn't see if there were people on the back of those horses. But he still shouted the order, let his people resist, and did not let the horses come.
However, no matter how fast he reacted, he was not as fast as the galloping horses.
Frightened horses, they didn't care what was in front of them, and they rushed in.
The Wuhuan soldiers at the forefront of the Wuhuan army, they had just woken up, and when they were about to obey the order and stop the rushing horses, the horses had already rushed into their crowd with a bang.
The impact of the horses is extremely strong, and the flesh and blood of ordinary soldiers cannot stop it at all.
But when he saw the Wuhuan soldiers who were blocking in front of the horses, they were immediately hit by the horses and flew up, and let out a burst of screams and screams.
The military formation, which was originally waiting for the battle, was also rushed through a gap in an instant.
Liu Xian, who was mixed in the frenzied herd of horses, suddenly slapped the horse and clashed forward.
"Kill!"
The mace in Liu Xian's hand was like a scythe of death at this moment, and every swing killed a Wuhuan soldier who was blocking the horse. This also made Liu Xian's speed basically not pause for half a minute, and he approached the city gate all the way.
On the other side, Huang Wudie was holding a spear in her hand, the spear was like a dragon, and each shot could also kill an enemy soldier, but she killed the enemy faster, and rushed to Liu Xian instead.
For Huang Wudie, when she was fighting on horseback, she was actually better at using a long-handled broadsword, but she couldn't find a weapon to take advantage of at this time, so she would use a spear. But whether it is a knife or a gun, Huang Wudie is just as powerful.
It can be said that at this time, the array of more than 2,000 Wuhuan soldiers inside the gate of the city gate has been scattered by the group of horses led by Liu Xian and Huang Wudie.
This, in fact, was also expected by Liu Xian.
Wuhuan soldiers, and even all the aliens, under normal circumstances, they basically have no formation to speak of. Their military formation is definitely not as strict as the military formation of the Han army, and they really don't understand the importance of the military formation. Therefore, don't look at them in a tight formation, but in fact, compared to the Han army, it does seem extremely loose.
Now that they are being rushed by the horses, they are all a little panicked, and they don't know how to deal with such a situation at all. In the face of the collision of those crazy horses, what they want to do most is to avoid being directly hit by the horses. As nomads, people who work with horses all day long, and can say that they live on horseback, they all know very well how powerful a crazy horse can be.
But they didn't want to think about it, how could they hide and move around in the middle of the military formation? There are people everywhere, how can they avoid it?
Moreover, the herd of horses did not rush one by one, but a group of them together. This rush and collision is to bump into one Wuhuan soldier after another.
The soldiers who fell to the ground would be trampled by the horses that came from behind, and they would not even have a chance to get up.
In ancient times, the impact of the fire bull array and the crazy horse group was the same, if the impact of those mad bulls and crazy horses could not be stopped in time, then no matter how powerful the military array was, it would be shattered.
At this time, inside the gate of the city gate, those Wuhuan soldiers who were impacted were indeed left with only crying fathers and mothers.
The Wuhuan general mounted his war horse, and finally saw that this was just a group of crazy horses, and there was no enemy on the horse's back. He also saw Liu Xian and Huang Wudie, who were leading this group of crazy horses in front, and he also confirmed his thoughts, this was indeed an enemy attack.
But it was difficult for him to keep his composure at this time, his eyes were red, and he saw that this group of crazy horses had already rushed through most of his army formation, and was about to kill the city gate. He knew that if he really let these unknown enemies kill the city gates, open the city gates and escape, then he would have survived.
At this moment, he also thought for the first time that the person who came to storm his city gate was most likely the arsonist of the fire in the pass tonight.
Catch them and kill them, then he will be meritorious, if he runs away, he can only suffer death, and it is absolutely impossible for King Qiu Liju to let him go.
The funny thing is that at this time, he didn't think that Liu Xian wanted to open the city gate and let the army outside the city enter the city, but thought that Liu Xian was going to escape and flee for his life.
"Everyone, fight against the horses, kill those crazy horses, even if they die, you have to fight against those two, and you must not let them rush near the city gate. Archers are ready to shoot them indiscriminately if they dare to rush to the city gates! ”
This general gave a loud order, and after drinking the order, he also slapped his horse and rushed over, wanting to defeat Liu Xian and Huang Wudie, who were charging forward.
It's hard to stop a mad horse, but it's easy to kill a mad horse if you try your best to kill it.
The discipline of the Wuhuan soldiers or their military formation is indeed very loose, but it does not mean that they are not fierce, and it does not mean that they will not obey the orders of their superior generals.
"It's General Wuhuan, Brother Liu Xian, you don't have to worry about it, leave it to me!"
Huang Wudie also noticed the Wuhuan general's drinking order, she reminded Liu Xian as soon as possible, and then pulled the reins to kill those Wuhuan generals.
To be able to be entrusted with important tasks, the generals who guard the city gates, and the Wuhuan generals who can command more than 2,000 people, must be the commanders of the Wuhuan army.
Among the Wuhuan people, those who can become centurions are actually equivalent to the Yamen generals in the Han army, who belong to quasi-military generals, and the commanders of thousands are at least third-rate generals.
This Wuhuan general is definitely not as good as Ta Keluo, who was killed by Liu Xian earlier, but the force is not too weak.
But it also depends on whom.
Let Liu Xian fight him, if you want to defeat him, I'm afraid it will take some tricks, but it will be very easy for Huang Wudie, a second-rate martial artist, to fight him in the future.
