Chapter 604: Unstoppable Xianbei Behavior

The mud of the river beach caused the speed of the Xianbei cavalry not to increase to the fastest, and most of them were equipped with unarmored or lightly armored Xianbei people, and they did not have a very good resistance to bows and crossbows.

If the Tiefu Tu of the Jin Soldiers in later generations was not bad in the game with arrows, then the current Xianbei could only rely on the belief of the Immortal Heaven to protect himself.

One hundred and fifty crossbows and one hundred bows formed a multi-layered long-range strike system from the throwing of bows to the flat shooting of crossbows, which was simply a disaster for the Xianbei cavalry who suffered blows in two directions at the same time......

Many Xianbei cavalry had been shot by people, or horses before they reached the wooden stakes of the Han army's formation, and fell down, but the remnants of the Xianbei cavalry continued to charge forward with their blood and bravery!

When the Xianbei cavalry was shot, they were often dismounted by arrows or crossbows, and then trampled or knocked away under the hooves of the horses behind them, like a rag doll; And those war horses that were hit by arrows neighed in pain, and tried to move forward, but finally stumbled and fell to the ground......

The unfolding surface of the ferry only allowed more than 50 cavalry to charge, and these more than 50 cavalry were under the attack of 200 Han arrows and crossbows......

Finally, a Xianbei cavalry rushed to the front of the rejection of the horse, and the cavalry violently lifted the reins of the horse and collided with the Han army hiding behind the rejection!

The war horse shook its head and tail in the air, and it became a best target, and several sword and shield men in front of the formation gathered together, leaning on each other's shoulders against the big shield, leaning tightly together to meet the impending impact, while the spearmen behind them roared, held the spear tightly and erected it, and stepped on the spear with their feet.

The war horse, which had no room to dodge in the air, was stabbed in the belly of the horse by a spear, fell down in a miserable neigh, and crashed into the big shield of several sword and shield hands, and immediately knocked several sword and shield men backwards again and again, and two sword and shield hands were even directly knocked to the ground.

The spearmen's spears also broke a few times, and the spearmen who had not had time to let go were violently rubbed and concussed, causing their hands to crack and dripp with blood.

The cavalry who rushed into battle did not die on the spot, and he still wanted to get up after falling into a daze, where would the sword and shield hand on the side give him this opportunity, and directly came up with a cross-handed knife, and under the sharp ring knife, a head suddenly flew into the sky, spraying a piece of blood mist.

With the last cavalry being beheaded, the offensive of the two hundred cavalry of the Xianbei people was completely defeated, leaving only a corpse in front of Huang Cheng's Han army.

The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent, and at a glance, there were hardly any Xianbei people who survived on this road of death, only a few crippled war horses, lying crookedly on the ground, making a mournful roar.

The dead Xianbei people were either facing the sky on their backs, or bowing their heads downward, or falling and breaking their hands, feet and necks, or being trampled on by the horses coming from behind, bursting their chests and abdomen, and the blood that flowed out spread out, completely staining the river water, and slowly extending downstream under the drive of the current......

Da Danghu's face was gloomy, he expected that the Han army formation on the other side of the river would be more difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so tricky!

When the Hu people originally played against the Han army's infantry battle formation, they did not rush into battle like the Jin soldiers and Tiefutu in later generations, but mostly outflanked them with light cavalry on the left and right.

Assault does not mean a straight line charge, which is the inferiority choice of the Hu people.

Hu people's favorite tactic, but also used extremely skilled tactics, that is, in batches like waves to the Han army array, and then if the Han army array is unmoved, the front of the formation crosses, and at the same time arrow rain throws, and then on the second wave, the front team rushes through, the rear team will follow, if the Han army continues to be stable, then the left and right outflanking attack, attack at the same time in all directions, and finally see the Han army array exposed a tired posture, ineffective or has been completely chaotic, only to rush in, completely overwhelmed.

And when facing a military formation that is waiting for a strict battle, it is possible not to rush directly into the formation without rushing into battle.

But now on the river, on the side of this ferry, how can it be outflanked?

And how to outflank?

Horses are not boats, and they cannot fly with wings......

The ferry is so big, if it is compact, it can only be seventy or eighty cavalry at most, and the normal state of charge is fifty cavalry to the sky, although the Xianbei people have the advantage of troops, but there is no way to invest too much at one time.

entered, it was necessary to withstand the arrows and crossbows of the Han army, and casualties must be indispensable; retreat, even if he can swallow this evil breath, the small commanders in the other tribes may not necessarily understand; It takes at least more than 100 miles to go around, and the Han army can already run away......

Da Danghu gritted his teeth, staring at the Han army formation on the other side of the river viciously like a wolf, and suddenly ordered: "The rear army dismounts, no matter what you use, give me two bags of soil per person to fill the river!" ”

The river is not turbulent, this may be because of the wide riverbed, the riverbed of about thirty paces, plus the shallow water areas of the tidal flats on both sides, have the appearance of sixty or seventy steps, if the interval between the two armies, there are nearly two hundred paces or so, whether it is with a strong bow or a crossbow arrow, there is no great effect at this distance.

The width of the ferry can accommodate fifty cavalry to sprint, and under the blow of two hundred bows and crossbows, it is indeed like a disaster, but what if it is doubled and charged with a hundred cavalry?

Then this disaster may have come to the head of the Han army......

With the actions of the Xianbei people, Huang Cheng also quickly understood the thoughts of the Xianbei people, and immediately mobilized crossbowmen to prepare for the front to stop Xianbei's behavior of digging up the soil and filling the river, but the big boss of Xianbei was not at the mercy of Huang Cheng, and transferred a team of 100 people, although it was another heavy casualties, but also drove Huang Cheng's crossbowmen back to the rear of the battle again.

There was no shovel or any other tool, so they dug with weapons, and without a cloth bag, they took off their clothes and wrapped them, and the Xianbei people gathered a large amount of soil after an hour, and bags of strangely shaped dirt bags were thrown into the river, and the deep water area on both sides of the ferry gradually became shallow......

Although some Xianbei soldiers were killed by Huang Cheng's strong crossbow when throwing mudbags, but Xianbei had enough manpower, and under the refilling of the river regardless of it, the ferry that originally only had a shallow area in the middle extended and expanded to both sides, and the unfolded surface of only fifty horsemen before, now it can accommodate at least eighty horsemen without much problem.

Huang Cheng's face became solemn, because he knew that the worst, most dangerous, and most difficult moment was coming......
