Chapter 216: The Northern Wing is completely annihilated, and the right generals and other troops are gradually eliminated
Huang Yu's decisive action subtly changed the situation on the battlefield.
Assuming that they did not attack, they were handed over to the crossbowmen to shoot at the second group of Huns. Then the follow-up 4,000 Hun soldiers can arrive before the latter is annihilated, and then the morale of the whole army is high, and they will definitely be able to gain an advantage by rushing up together in hand-to-hand combat.
This is the plan of the other party's right-hand general, and it can be said that it is not shrewd.
However, Huang Yu made a decisive attack before they arrived, and in a very short time annihilated the second group of Xiongnu soldiers who were stubbornly resisting. In this way, the 4,000 soldiers behind will inevitably suffer a morale defeat when they see their clan brothers being killed.
He was stunned to turn the wise move of the right general king to dismount and fight on foot into a tactic of adding fuel, which could not be described as indecisive.
The battlefield is so fast-changing and interesting, the master makes a move, sees the move, and after all, the more prepared dreadnought army has the advantage.
Seeing that the first two groups of tribes had been annihilated, the king knew that the other side was extremely difficult to deal with, but no matter how much he said it, there were still 4,000 men, and he could not beat the exhausted soldiers and horses on the other side.
"Kill!"
"Roar!"
The Huns charged like tigers and wolves, but when they were still twenty steps away from the slaughter, they ushered in a wave of crossbow arrows, and then another wave of crossbow arrows.
For a while, there were wails, and these arrows were clearly shot from the terrible Que Zhang crossbow, and as long as they were shot, they would inevitably lose their combat power. There were even Hun soldiers who were close to each other, and they were pierced by an arrow, and they were connected to death.
When the Huns thought that the rain of arrows had passed, they raised their heads to investigate, and they actually shot a third round of crossbow arrows!
The third round was just a bolt of crossbow arrows, which means that in just now, the archers had only completed the reloading of two crossbows.
However, three rounds were enough, and the Huns had just suffered more than 500 casualties, and the high morale was instantly low, which was the most fatal loss.
Huang Yu and more than 500 infantry roared angrily and hedged against the Hun soldiers, and the heavy armor soldiers directly knocked the unarmored opponent to the ground. Normally, you only need to make up for it once, and you can complete a kill, but more enemy soldiers attacked.
On one side is well-equipped and morale is high, and on the other side is numerically superior and there is no way back, and the two sides are temporarily tied.
This tie is at the cost of a five-to-one exchange ratio, and "one Han when five hu" was fulfilled at this time, I don't know if it is a historical coincidence.
Seeing that there were many Xiongnu soldiers, they gradually formed a siege of Huang Yu and others. The Huns thought that if they held on for a little longer, they would be victorious. It's a pity that the general Yang Feng has already been eyeing the Huns, waiting for the total annihilation of the Huns.
Yang Feng shouted loudly and ordered the 12th Brigade, which was divided into two wings, to carry out the operation according to the plan.
Many of the people of the 12th Brigade came from the Baibo Army, and after the special development orientation given by Tong Yuan, now most of them are soldiers who are good at marching and killing the enemy with heavy loads.
Before the Huns could react, they quickly completed the semi-encirclement of the Huns.
In the dense sound of horns, the two flanks of the Huns were raided by Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, and the soldiers on the periphery were not at all the opponents of the dreadnought soldiers.
Before the decisive battle, the right general Wang also saw that the two wings of the dreadnought crossbowmen were also arranged with melee infantry, so he arranged 500 Huns each to guard on the left and right flanks.
In his vision, even if they couldn't defeat Yang Fengbu, they could at least hold them back before the big army in the middle lane won a big victory. When the time comes, the middle lane will be victorious, and the crossbowmen will be annihilated, and the miscellaneous soldiers on both wings will not be captured.
It's a pity that the reality is very skinny for the Huns, Yang Fengbu has been recuperating for a long time, and almost half a pillar of incense has defeated the vigilant soldiers and horses on both wings of the Huns. Under the leadership of Yang Feng and the participating army, they launched an offensive against the Xiongnu army in the center.
In the past, when arranging the shooting exchange, they never participated, just to retain their physical strength and use it in the decisive moment. Now that the Huns are fighting Huang Yu with all their might, how can they have the strength to deal with Yang Feng again?
The morale of the Xiongnu army was not high, and the two wings were the first to collapse, resulting in the middle of the army, which still had 2,000 men, was already crumbling.
The Huns also had their last reserve of horses, a thousand weak men guarding the horses, which were relatively weakened but led by an experienced commander.
At this time, the situation was critical, and he decisively ordered 500 people to get on the horse and rush to help, leaving 500 old and weak people who were only suitable as herdsmen to hold their positions.
When Yang Feng saw the situation, he immediately divided his men and resisted these cavalry.
The dreadnought infantry immediately formed formations, and only the front row of these infantry formations had guns, and the back row was mostly armed with axes and knives. Others seem to think that when they deal with cavalry again, they are not as effective as the shield spearmen of the Tuntian army.
The Huns also thought so, five hundred cavalry could not rush the long-prepared crossbowmen, and could not deal with these infantry with disorganized equipment and hastily arrayed?
The Hun cavalry saw that it was close to thirty paces, and suddenly threw a large number of flying axes from the opposite side!
The power of the spinning axe is terrifying, even if it is resisted with a spear or a saber, it is still a spear and a knife flying, and people will be injured and hacked to death.
And being hit head-on by the flying axe so head-on, the Huns were in chaos.
"Kill!"
Yang Feng roared angrily and led the pikemen to counterattack, and their spears did not stab their horses. The horses scurried in pain and threw the Hun riders on their backs to the ground. The axe man followed, just in time to slash the enemy.
Moreover, the terrain and equipment are more favorable to the dreadnought, just a stick of incense time, the flank Hun cavalry has some people fled, and Yang Feng and others have the chance to win.
Suddenly, a horse whistle sounded, and three hundred light cavalry appeared on the flank of the Huns who were left behind and weak, and killed them directly. Some of those old and weak hurriedly got on their horses to meet the battle, some rode on their horses and ran, and even knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.
This tactic of a small number of light cavalry roundabout attacks also came from Yang Feng's handiwork.
The 12th Brigade already had a battalion of light cavalry, and good steel was used on the blade, so they naturally performed a roundabout attack with the best effect.
The Hun army saw that the rear had been truncated, and its morale was even more demoralized. The commander who came up with five hundred horsemen could not break Yang Feng's infantry, but fortunately took the lead in escaping.
The crossbowmen in the rear of the dreadnoughts reloaded, and they fired with pinpoint accuracy, sniping out some of the most fiercely resisting Hun leaders. If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the king and immediately took off his armor to fish in troubled waters, it is estimated that he would not be able to escape the fate of being sniped by point shooting.
The Hun soldiers held out for another stick of incense for a while, but they couldn't resist it, and a large number of herdsmen didn't want to turn into fertilizer in vain, so they quickly knelt down and surrendered.
The king of the right general was an expert at seeing the wind and rudder, and he led the guards to kill another tribal king, holding his head and kneeling to surrender.
Yang Feng entrusted Huang Yu with the task of tying up the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, and he led the 12th Brigade, which was full of physical strength, to support the large array. The Hun soldiers who were attacking in the north of the great array were surrounded by the front and rear, and when they heard that the kings had been defeated, they surrendered directly.
At this point, the northern flank of Xu Rong's large array and the frontal enemy army have been annihilated, and the balance of victory has fallen in favor of the Xinxi Liang army.
