Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Raising Chapter 45 The First Voice
"What did you say?" Nanlou was furious, waved his horsewhip and threw it at the embarrassed chief in front of him.
With the loud sound of whipping, a clear streak of blood appeared on the long face, and he screamed in pain, and almost fell off his horse.
"Wait! Let him speak clearly! Qiu Liju's face was full of solemnity, and he stretched out his hand to stop the leather whip that Nanlou raised again: "In just a moment's effort, more than half of your 1,500 cavalry have been killed or wounded?" Did they take advantage of the terrain of the narrow road and send the Hun cavalry to flank you? ”
"Nope! That's not true! The long man looked panicked and said, "The Huns are still stationed on the high ground on both sides...... The Han army dug a large number of pits at the corners of the road, shot us before our horses stumbled, and sent a cavalry of about 300 men to launch a counter-charge! ”
"What? And so you are defeated! The four Karasuma-sama exclaimed in unison.
"They even dare to take advantage of the situation to counterattack?" Zhang Chun's face changed, he instinctively felt that these Han soldiers were by no means ordinary characters, and couldn't help shouting: "Have you ever seen the enemy's flag?" Who are they! ”
"There is no enemy general!" That Qianchang was born in a clan handsome, and moved south to Han since he was a child, but he also knew a few Chinese characters. He shook his head and said, "When our army was defeated and retreated, they only raised a dozen Black Eagle banners!" ”
"Eagle Banner?" Zhang Chun trembled, and a trace of fear appeared on his face: "Could it be that person is here?" ”
"Who is it?" The four adults shouted in unison.
"Eagle Yang Zhonglang will ...... You've probably heard of his name! Zhang Chun was obviously nervous, and he said incoherently: "But shouldn't he be far away in the Bohai Sea?" Could it be that Lu Zhi invited him here? ”
"Is that him?" Qiu Liju narrowed his eyes, and said with some surprise: "I've heard some rumors about him, I heard that he is the favorite general of the Son of Heaven, and he is already in a high position in his early twenties!" ”
"Phew! This king should be some kind of great ruthless person! Nanlou said with some disdain: "A Zhonglang general!" It was the member of the Guardian Karasuma Nakaro General of the day, and this king never took him seriously! ”
"If that's all you know...... I'm going to advise you to do it yourself! There was a hint of imperceptible panic in Zhang Chun's eyes, and he seemed to think of some of the past events again. No one knows better than him how powerful Nanying is, because he was once a member of the Heavenly Stems Branch.
He sighed and said, "This person is not easy to mess with!" What about millions of yellow turbans and 100,000 Liangzhou war horses? All defeated by this man! As far as Ben knows, he never seems to have been defeated! Lord Nanlou probably doesn't know yet, right? The sect member you just mentioned was planted in his hands, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! ”
"That's amazing!" Su Muyan said in disbelief: "How is he better than Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo?" ”
"Is General Zhang exaggerating?" Wu Yan was also a little puzzled: "I have heard that this person is like a murderer, but I rarely hear what his record is...... In the battle of Luoyang, he did defeat Han Sui, but he defended the city and took advantage of the damnation, and the Liangzhou army was almost self-defeating, which is not enough to explain his ability! ”
"Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo?" Zhang Chun showed a wry smile: "This Eagle Yang Zhonglang General has a deep friendship with Lu Zhi, and was his deputy general, you may not know that almost half of Lu Zhi's efforts to pacify the Yellow Turban in Hebei that day were laid down by him alone!" ”
"Is that true?" The faces of the four kings of Karasuma became heavy. In this way, this person's ability to use soldiers is at least not under Lu Zhi.
"Speaking of Huangfu Song...... Zhang Chun sighed: "When I was still the prime minister of Zhongshan, I once received a secret war report, which said that if it weren't for this Eagle Yang Zhonglang who would rush thousands of miles to help, Huangfu Song was afraid that he would be buried in Yingshui!" ”
"This ......," the four kings of Karasuma exclaimed again.
"And Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Chun did not hide his schadenfreude at all, he said sarcastically: "I heard that this big man and General Yingyang Zhonglang were beaten up violently by others, and he himself was punished by demotion!" ”
Zhang Chun is a fish that has slipped through the net, and Wang Fen has been fighting with Dong Zhuoming, who is Xin Yi, for a long time, so of course Zhang Chun can't have any good feelings for Dong Zhuo.
"Impossible, right?" Su Fuyan said in shock: "Since this Eagle Yang Zhonglang will be so hand-eyed and have outstanding military exploits, why is he still just a small Zhonglang general today...... I heard that he is still leading the Bohai Taishou, right? ”
"A person who dares to openly collide even today, he can live to this day, it is already an outlier!" Zhang Chun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But from this, it can be seen that this person is indeed not idle!" ”
"As you said, this person has a good relationship with Lu Zhi...... If he really came to save Lu Zhi, things would be really troublesome! Qiu Liju's face became extremely embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to easily defeat the Han army blocking the road in front of him, and after cleaning up the two Xiongnu princes who were in trouble, he went to encircle and annihilate Lu Zhi, but he didn't know that he would provoke such a difficult opponent.
"If it's too late, it will change, and we must immediately attack with all our might!" Qiu Liju is also a decisive and arbitrary person, he did not hesitate to say: "The bend of the Han army is not conducive to our army to press, from now on, we and the other five troops should divide the troops to fight!" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Chun's eyes lit up: "Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe?" ”
"No!" A sly smile appeared on Qiu Liju's lips: "Does this king want to see if they are delaying time, or have they set up a trap with Lu Zhi and wait for us to drill?" ”
"He's framing Lu Zhi?" Nanlou lost his voice and said: "How is this possible? Did any of us leak the news? ”
"Well, please explain!" Qiu Liju glanced at him: "Why is it that a famous general of the Han army who has a close relationship with Lu Zhi, leading a Han and Hungarian coalition army with good combat strength, blocked the direction of our army at such a critical juncture?" ”
Nanlou was immediately dumbfounded, of course he couldn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in this world.
"Ben will see what you mean!" Zhang Chun nodded and said: "If this Han army deliberately delays time and wants to make Lu Zhi's army retreat safely from the city of Jixian County, then with their hasty preparations, there will be nothing to hide under the all-out onslaught of our army, and our army can continue to implement the operational intention of opening up the road and encircling and annihilating the main force of the Han army...... On the contrary, if the Han army can easily withstand the offensive of our army with inferior forces, it proves that they are prepared, then we have reason to suspect that this is a trap that has been set up a long time ago! ”
"I see!" The three Karasuma-sama came to their senses together.
"If there is no objection, we must act immediately!" Qiu Liju said in a deep voice: "Lord Nanlou, please lead the headquarters to attack the high ground on the left, Lord Wuyan, please attack the high ground on the right side, the headquarters of this king and the king of Qiao, the infantry of General Mitian will take turns to attack the bend where the Han army is stationed in front!" ”
Dozens of trumpets sounded at the same time. Soon, the locust swarms of Karasuma cavalry and the ant-attached Han rebels quickly diverged into three black torrents, and swooped down on the three positions defended by the Han-Hungarian forces at the same time.
"Here we go!" Nan Ying also heard the long horn that sounded all over the place, and his eyes, which were still a little listless, were as sharp as an eagle: "Pass the order, all the cavalry will be relieved of the state of sortie, and cooperate with the archers to defend the chariot formation!" ”
"Order the Red Eagle Battalion and the Red Kite Battalion, don't think about wasting arrows, just open up for the general to shoot!" He gestured to the herald: "In addition, prepare half of the fire oil bombs, ready to cover the projectile!" ”
"What? Half ......" The herald was obviously a little stunned, he looked at Nanying's somewhat cold look, and then said loudly: "Yes, General! ”
"Fire oil bombs? What is that? Looking at the back of the herald who quickly left, Sun Ce's face was full of curiosity: "General, your order seems to have shocked the herald!" ”
"These treasures are hard to come by!" Nan Ying lamented incomparably: "Half of it will be used up at once, and Ben will be more distressed than any of them!" ”
"Isn't it often the best thing to do until the last minute?" Sun Ce was a little puzzled: "Why is the general so anxious? ”
"It's not that Ben is in a hurry, it's because these Karasuma people are in a hurry!" Nan Ying smiled and patted Sun Ce's shoulder: "Ben will always be kind, of course I can't disappoint them!" ”
"The last general ......doesn't understand," Sun Ce said dumbfounded.
"You'll understand!" Nan Ying pointed to the sand and dust raised in the distance: "When you repel this all-out onslaught of the enemy army, you will understand!" ”
"How did the general know that the enemy was going to attack with all his might this time?" Not only Sun Ce was taken aback, but even Guan Zhang and the others were stunned.
"That's because they know now...... It's Ben who is here!" Nanying said proudly: "No one dares to despise the general, and the general's army!" ”
"General ......" looked at Nan Ying exuding a domineering momentum that was arrogant all over his body, and Sun Ce's eyes were full of admiration.
"Do you need to be humble?" Zhang Fei suddenly spoke: "If you can take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy's main general, it can help the general's plan!" ”
"You guessed it...... Nan Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, but he shook his head and said: "Good steel is used on the blade, you and Yun Chang are still not ready to make a move!" ”
"Guess what......" Sun Ce didn't finish speaking, only to hear that Nanying had already broken off and said: "The whole army ...... Get ready! ”
"The general has an order...... The whole army is ready! ”
“…… The whole army is ready! ”
“…… Get ready! ”
As the order flag was unfurled, the orders spread far away until they reached the high ground on both sides.
When the first Karasuma cavalryman had just emerged from the corner, Li Jin, who was at the front of the car formation, had already blurted out wildly: "All the sky shoots up...... Put! ”
The Eagle's Nest army is equipped with bows and crossbows per capita, which is enough to crown the world. Since he was rescued from the hands of the bandits and successfully picked up a family, Zhang Xian turned this heavenly kindness into crazy power, he not only made all kinds of bows and crossbows for several years, but also trained a large number of qualified craftsmen. With such a strong and huge production capacity, the long-range strike force of the entire Eagle's Nest army can only be described as terrifying, and almost all ordinary soldiers are one bow and one crossbow, and they are equipped with ten times more powerful arrows than ordinary Han troops...... This was due to the fact that the four-wheeled chariot had already been standardized, without which any strong warrior would have been crushed by the heavy weight of a single soldier.
After separating hundreds of powerful crossbows and equipping two new battalions, the arrows fired by more than 2,700 soldiers of the entire army together in the sky could make any brave man with a strong heart fearful.
The clear sky seemed to be darkened by the loud chirping of thousands of birds flapping their wings at the same time, and if you looked far away from the battlefield, it looked like a swarm of locusts swooping down to the ground after drawing a graceful climbing line.
The Karasuma cavalry at the corner had already rushed out of hundreds of horses, and its front part had galloped into the effective range of the Han army, and in the face of the death net falling on their heads, they didn't even have time to do anything to evade protection, they could only open their mouths in fear, and then greet death.
Arrows rained down on every inch of the narrow passage, and at least two hundred Karasuma people and their horses were nailed to the ground, except for the stubborn horses that still let out a low cry of death, and almost all the fallen warriors had lost their lives before they could fall off their horses. The ground was littered with arrowshafts as dense as crops, and the terrible penetrating wounds on the bodies of centaurs were gurgling with viscous plasma.
Without the deadly threat of trapping, even with thousands of strange corpses in front of them, the surviving Karasuma cavalry, who were skilled in equestrianism, could still easily control their horses and jump, trying to avoid the obstacles that stumbled. There was no way for them to retreat, and if they wanted to survive the battle, they had to continue to advance until they rushed into the Han army...... Even if they wanted to retreat, there was no way out, because the Karasuma people who were pouring out from the rear had completely blocked the way.
"Longbow Projectile...... Crossbow machine flat fire, strike at will! Among the Han army, the loud sound of orders sounded again.
Listening to the terrible sound of flesh tearing beside him, and the sudden upheaval and tumbling of his companions in front of him, each Karasuma fell into an endless panic, as if they were in a nightmare that they would never wake up to. Only the moment of imminent death is the time to wake up.
On the high ground on both sides, there was also a sound of earth-shattering killing. If the Xiongnu and Karasuma were originally equal opponents of chess and drums, then now the condescending Huns are a group of thugs who are ruthlessly tortured and killed.
Down the slope, the arrows fired by the Karasuma cavalry were not enough to pose a mortal threat to the Huns, and the Karasuma people who rushed up the ramp could only barely maintain their balance with a knife in one hand and a horse in the other, because they did not have the support of their horses, and did not have any ability to fight back.
The dirt in front of them was filled with enough arrows provided by the Han army, and the Huns smiled and stretched their bows and arrows, aiming with great interest at the Karasuma cavalry who were struggling to rush up the ramp, almost one arrow at a time, experiencing this unprecedented shooting practice.
Under the merciless shooting, countless horses neighed to the ground, and then tumbled down the inclined ramp, immediately smashing the Karasuma people who rushed after them to pieces. The situation is dire.
In the short time of fighting, the Karasuma people who launched a fierce attack on three positions at the same time have paid at least nearly a thousand lives, but it is still difficult to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Just as the hearts of the Four Kings of Karasuma and Zhang Chun were shocking, Nanying, who had the upper hand, coldly issued a cruel military order: "Half of the fire oil bombs will be divided into three waves and all of them will be launched!" ”
He turned his head towards Sun Ce and smiled coolly: "The second step, take the lead, Ben will succeed again...... Keep your eyes open and see that the flames that are about to ignite will not only burn the flesh of the enemy and break their will, but also reflect the foundation of our army! These Karasuma people, they will no longer be able to see the intentions of our army! ”
