Chapter 502: Trapping and Rejecting Horses

The journey of thirty miles was really nothing for the Hun cavalry, and in less than an hour, they had already killed.

Broton had long longed for this battle, and in his opinion, the defeat in Pingyang was a complete accident, perhaps because Liu Yue underestimated the enemy, which ultimately led to the defeat of the Huns.

In fact, Liu Yue didn't need to be afraid at all, as long as the Hun cavalry cheered up and took it seriously, Brodong didn't believe that the Wei people could defeat the Huns.

Can the Huns, who were born to fight on horseback, really be defeated by those Wei people who can't ride horses and can only farm?

In Brodon's view, Liu Yue is too cautious, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and the whole nest was in a poor ravine, so that the Wei people chased him around, where is the dignity of the Huns, you know, they are all the descendants of Mao Dun, so like a lost dog, doesn't it smear Mao Dun's face?

Anyway, this time Liu Yue finally made up his mind and poured out of the nest, preparing to annihilate the Wei infantry in one fell swoop.

For Brodon, it was his biggest regret that he couldn't fight the Wei cavalry head-on, but it was only fitting to use the blood of these Wei soldiers to commemorate his brothers who died in the Battle of Pingyang.

Liu Yue's request was not to let go of a single person, and all the Wei troops in Xiliulin must be killed, and of course Brodong was happy to obey the order.

In his eyes, these Wei people are already dead, as long as the Hun cavalry rushes all the way over, they can kill one person on their backs and escape? There are no doors, and in front of the cavalry, no matter how fast the infantry runs, it is useless, and two legs cannot outrun four legs after all.

And the terrain of Xiliulin is too favorable for the Huns, as long as the Huns break through the Wei people's defense line, this terrain facing the mountains and facing the river completely restricts the escape route of the Wei people, and under the north and south of the Hun cavalry, these Wei people can only sit and wait for death.

Broton laughed secretly, these stupid Wei people, who came up with the bad idea to actually tie the soldiers and horses on top of this kind of Jedi, it is really self-defeating!

It was not far from Xiliulin, and Broton saw a group of Wei soldiers guarding the avenue from a distance, armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows, but the formation was not very neat.

When Broton saw this, he immediately ordered his cavalry to attack, and first killed the cavalry of this group to sacrifice the flag.

The Hun cavalry screamed and pounced, and the horses' hooves rumbled, trampling up a cloud of dust and smoke.

Yanghu personally led the army to garrison the outer position in the south, and saw the Hun cavalry fiercely pounced, Yanghu was not in a hurry, and ordered the pikemen to stay at the forefront, while the archers pulled their bows and arrows, which was equivalent to the Huns entering the firing range before firing.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, Yanghu can be regarded as much calmer, the previous battle of Hanzhong, has been tempered Yanghu, has the potential of a famous general Yanghu's learning ability and practical ability is extremely strong, he has quickly become familiar with the battlefield, familiar with the battle, on the battlefield, can do everything in shock.

Seeing that the Hun cavalry was menacing and had been forced to a distance of one stone's throw away, Yanghu immediately made a decision and ordered the Wei soldiers to open their bows and release arrows.

Although these soldiers are on the battlefield for the first time, the first time they engage the enemy, it is inevitable that they will be nervous, but Yanghu's calm and composure seems to have infected them, and the generals who lead the army are still not afraid of death and stick to the front line, so what are they ordinary soldiers afraid of?

One by one, the feather arrows flew out, although these Wei troops lacked training, and the archery work was not at home, but this kind of diffuse attack method did not seem to require the Wei archers to aim, as long as they could pull the bow and shoot the arrows, as long as the arrows shot out were not too bad, it was enough.

The lack of accuracy can be compensated for by brawn, these archers have been deliberately selected when they are selected, all of them have amazing brawn, and they can easily pull away two stone bows, and at this time they operate a stone bow, which is simply a light car, and most of the arrows shot out can reach the farthest range.

After a row of rapid shots, the Hun soldiers who were in the forefront were shot by random arrows, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Brodon was furious, and ordered the Hun cavalry not to stop, and to rush forward in the rain of arrows.

Compared to infantry battles, cavalry has a complete advantage in speed, and when the infantry fights, the two armies are lined up, and the archers can shoot many rounds of arrows.

But in a cavalry battle, the archers could shoot two or three arrows at most, and at the most of them, the cavalry had already rushed forward and had no power to fight back.

Yanghu was also very decisive, even if there was a pikeman's defense line in front of the archers, but after shooting two arrows, Yanghu immediately ordered a retreat, without the slightest drag.

When the Hun cavalry pounced, the Wei army had already evacuated for a considerable distance, but no matter how fast the infantry went, it could not be faster than the cavalry.

As they were about to slash with their swords in their teeth and claws, suddenly their horses stumbled, and they fell into the pit.

The trap was just dug by the Wei army, covered with reed mats, and sprinkled with a thin layer of soil, which looked nothing abnormal with the surroundings, but if the war horse stepped on it, it would fall into the pit.

The Wei army dug a lot of pits along the way, they knew the location of the pits, and they could avoid the pits when retreating, but the Hun cavalry was not so lucky, the bottom of the pit was equipped with sharpened wooden sticks and iron spikes, once the Hun cavalry entered the pit, even people and horses would be pierced by sharp weapons.

Brodong was a little surprised, he didn't expect the Wei army to dig such a pit in such a short period of time, causing a lot of casualties to the Huns.

However, Brodong was not too worried, after all, time was pressing, presumably the Wei people could not dig too many pits, in principle, these traps could only kill one Hun cavalry at a time, and the Huns claimed to be tens of thousands of troops, just find hundreds of dozens of pit goods.

Some people filled the pits, some people were sent to death, and Brodong naturally ordered the cavalry to go all the way forward and break through the Wei army's defense line first.

According to Brodon's calculations, these places are not far from the Wei army's resistance, as long as they can break through the first line of defense of the Wei army, they must be the last of the strong crossbows.

Yanghu secretly sneered, the Wei army had conducted a careful drill here, and the time to dig the pit was in a hurry, and it was not able to dig a sufficient amount of pits, but later the Wei army also prepared another big gift for the Huns - rejecting horses.
