Chapter 530: Life and Death (3)

Just when the Hun cavalry waved the blade in his hand and was ready to rush into the Mo army formation with a hideous face, the crossbow soldiers of the Mo army finally exerted their might, and the rows of cold light rushed out of the Mo army formation, and flew straight towards the Hun cavalry.

The King of the Huns looked at the rows of fallen Hun cavalry, his heart was dripping blood, it was all his people, and it was also the pillar of his status in the future, and he didn't care about anything at this time, and pointed to the Mo army array that kept shooting cold arrows in front of him and said angrily: "King Donghu, didn't you say that the army of the Central Plains people is all there for you?" Which ones are what? ”

King Donghu was also very shocked to see the existence of the Mo army and the crossbowmen, but it was only for a moment that he returned to normal, looked at the impatient Hun King, Donghu King said with disdain: "Hun King, this king didn't lie to you, the terrifying army of the Central Plains people is in my Donghu, you yourself know this, as for why there is that terrifying army here, this is also very understandable, after all, this is the nest of the Central Plains people, and it is normal to leave some people to guard it, but you can rest assured, this terrifying army, there are definitely not many here, Otherwise, the Central Plains people would have pulled it out a long time ago, in my opinion, the Central Plains people have this little bit of troops, now we have no way out, desperately kill the past, we still have a little chance of survival, if you are fighting for a little casualty, then don't fight this battle, just make dogs for the Central Plains people with your clansmen! ”

In their conversation, the battle in front did not stop with their distraction, but became more and more intense, dense arrows shot out of the Mo army formation, batch after batch of Xiongnu were harvested, but the Hun cavalry is too much, plus these people don't know what's going on, they are not afraid of death, even if the crossbow continues to wield, the Hun cavalry is still approaching the Mo army step by step.

In fact, this time Mo Chen brought out not many crossbowmen, he only brought out 5,000 of the 10,000 crossbowmen, and he put 5,000 on the raised rocks on the gorge, where to kill the enemy with Mo Yuan's youth battalion, where the terrain is unique, very suitable for the crossbowmen, and the arrows are basically placed in the gorge and the defense of the city.

In this battle outside the city, Mo Chen mainly relied on Xiong Daxiong Er's shield armor and pikemen to cooperate with archers and crossbowmen.

Just when the Hun cavalry was only five meters away from the Mo army, the Hun cavalry who rushed to the front suddenly plunged into the ground, and the battlefield was a burst of dust, accompanied by bursts of screams, and then looked, there was a five meters wide on the battlefield, a deep pit that could be nearly a thousand meters long separated the Hun cavalry from the Mo army, and the deep pit was almost twenty meters deep, and the bottom of the pit was full of sharpened wooden stakes, and the Hun cavalry and war horses who fell into it were directly pierced by the wooden stakes, is howling, this deep pit was completed by the joint efforts of the military and civilians of Plains City for almost a day and a night, because of time problems, the Mo army only had time to dig so deep.

Many Hun cavalry have fallen into the pit, just when Mo Chen because these Hun cavalry will retreat, what Mo Chen did not expect was that there was a continuous horn sound behind the Hun camp, and then a team of Hun soldiers carrying wooden ladders rushed out with wooden shields in hand, and directly set up wooden ladders to the deep pit, and those wooden ladders were the siege ladders that the Huns and Donghu were preparing to use to attack the city. Those Huns actually directly used the corpses of their dead companions as shields, holding the corpses to rush towards the Mo army, and those cavalry were not idle, they resisted the corpses of their dead comrades to the edge of the pit, and threw them directly into the pit, ready to fill the deep pit with corpses.

The Mo army stopped on the other side to stop the Hun infantry who dared to rush over from the ladder into an improvised bridge, but what relieved Mo Chen was that the Hun cavalry was not as flexible as no one because the war horses were too heavy, so there was no way to use those simple ladders as a bridge to rush towards the Mo army, so they could only fill the deep pit with corpses on the one hand, and shoot the Mo army with bows and arrows on the other side, but how could their arrow feathers be compared with the Mo army, they were shot by the Mo army archers, but those Hun cavalry were shot and killed at any cost, a group of them were shot, Another batch rushed out again.

The Hun infantry waved the scimitar in their hands, and the horse fork frantically attacked the Mo army, but in the face of such poor equipment of the Hun infantry, the Mo army came to kill one by one, Mo Chen fought bravely to kill the enemy, saw the Hun infantry constantly stepping on the wooden ladder to rush towards them, a few steps out, a knife directly cut off the heads of several Hun infantry, and then another knife cut off the wooden ladder under his feet, the wooden ladder made a click, and smashed directly into the pit, the Hun infantry above smashed into the pit, but Mo Chen noticed, The Hun soldiers who fell into the pit because the stake had been buried by the corpses, so the Huns who fell into the pit did not have anything to do, and he also noticed that the depth of the pit was less than ten meters deep, and then look at the battlefield, one by one, the soldiers of the Mo army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the bodies of the Huns who were killed were falling into the pit.

Seeing this, Mo Chen's brows frowned, as the battle became more and more intense, I am afraid that there is still a ten-meter-deep pit with the corpses falling, the deep pit will only continue to be filled, and when the deep pit is filled, the Hun cavalry will not rush over easily, there is no war horse on his side, and the infantry will only suffer a great loss to the cavalry, after all, although the Hun army equipment is poor, but the war horse is real, if you can't effectively stop those Hun cavalry, when the Hun cavalry hits the army, I am afraid that the price will be very large, Mo Chen was unwilling to take his precious soldiers and the Hun cavalry to fight, once he once let the infantry directly face the Hun cavalry, but the result was a heavy loss, that was later the cavalry dispatched to save the situation, successfully defeated the Hun army, and killed the original Hun king in one fell swoop. But this time he no longer has a war horse, and the current enemy is not at all comparable to the original battle, he must rely on the terrain of Pingyuan City to hold Pingyuan City, and wait for Le Jian to lead the elite army to return.

After Mo Chen then killed a Hun infantry who rushed towards him, he said in a loud voice: "The whole army retreats, let the Hun infantry come, and don't let the corpses fall into the tunnel." ”

With Mo Chen's order, the Mo army slowly retreated, and those Hun infantry did not have the interception of the Mo army, and soon rushed through the tunnel and continued to pounce on the Mo army, but as the spears of the Mo army continued to send and receive, one by one the Hun infantry were pierced through the cold, and then turned into a cold corpse.

It's just that the Mo army retreated, the Xiongnu and Donghu were even more crazy, they all thought that the Mo army couldn't hold on, even if they fell a large number of corpses every time they took a step forward, they seemed to be unaware, like crazy beasts stepping on the corpses of their companions and attacking the Mo army soldiers frantically.

The Mo army retreated a hundred meters with a face, leaving a position of 100 meters for the Hun infantry, in this 100 meters, the Hun infantry stood all the places, but after this 100 meters, the Mo army began to counterattack, a shield soldier, holding shield armor, big knife and other heavy weapons rushed out of the military formation under the leadership of Mo Chen, and directly plunged into the Hun infantry formation, the big shield and big knife in his hand opened and closed, and constantly killed the Hun infantry, and the Mo army, the military formation still left a defensive array composed of shield armor soldiers and pikemen, and strung the Hun infantry one by one into a rock sugar gourd, The archers were in the rear and engaged in a confrontation with the Hun cavalry on the other side, while the crossbowmen shot the enemy in the middle of the formation.

As time passed, the sky had gradually darkened, and the arrows of the archers and the arrows of the crossbowmen had not known how much had been carried out by the people of Plains City, anyway, as soon as they came out, they were divided between the archers and the officers of the crossbowmen, and the shield soldiers who rushed out of the enemy line to fight had rotated several times with the shield soldiers who were holding on to the defense, which were used to restore their strength, and blood stained their whole bodies.

Mo Chen and Xiong Da Xiong Er, as commanders, did not wear face armor like the soldiers, wearing face armor is not conducive to them giving orders, and the soldiers can also recognize them well, which can also improve the morale of the soldiers, but because the face is defenseless, the blood is even more stained on their faces, but they don't have the time or time to wipe it.

In order to make the later battle more favorable, Mo Chen has been taking the lead since the beginning of the war, he doesn't know how many people he killed, he only knows how to constantly kill the enemies around him, when he returned to the formation, the sky was completely dark, but he found that the Xiongnu and Donghu did not seem to have the intention of retreating from the truce after dark, but instead lit torches, which meant that the battle was great until dawn, and he also found that there were many Donghu people holding torches on the battlefield, What's even worse is that he actually saw that the pit that took almost a day and a night to dig has almost been filled.

Now that the army out of the city has been fighting continuously for so long, it is already a huge physical exertion, and the infantry has suffered a loss to the cavalry, not to mention that now, Mo Chen did not hesitate to order the army to retreat back to Plain City.

When Mo Chen led the army back to the gorge, there was a roaring sound of horses' hooves outside the plain city, and those Hun infantry were also pressing step by step, not intending to let the Mo army retreat, but after retreating into the canyon, the power of the crossbowmen was more obvious, ten people were in a column, three columns were a group, a total of three groups of crossbowmen were broken, and they were guarded in the gorge, ten meters away from the exit, and the Hun infantry was firmly blocked outside the gorge, and Mo Chen led the rest of the army to return to the plain city in an orderly manner.

Mo Yuanben saw boxes of arrows and arrows being carried out of the gorge, listening to the shouting and killing outside the gorge, his heart was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, just when he couldn't help but want to go down to the ground to go out to see what was going on, he saw the army out of the city returning quickly, and suddenly said excitedly: "Brothers, hurry, hurry up, prepare quickly, the enemy is coming soon, now is the time for us to show our skills." ”

At the head of the plain city, Fat Tiger and Gouzi and others were already waiting anxiously there, and when they saw Mochen coming back, they hurriedly opened the city gate.

When the fat tiger saw Mo Chen coming back covered in blood, he immediately looked nervous, so he almost ran down the city with a rolling belt, ran quickly to Mo Chen, and asked nervously: "Big brother, big brother, why are you all blood?" Don't worry, Xiaohu immediately went to find Dr. Zhao over. ”

Fat Tiger said and hurriedly said to a pro-soldier: "You, hurry, go and find Doctor Zhao and them, hurry." ”

Mo Chen waved his hand and said, "No, this is the blood of the enemy, Fat Tiger, I will leave it to you here, remember, this city gate is the last checkpoint of our Plains City, and we must not let an enemy in." ”

Fat Tiger finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not Mo Chen's own blood, and then patted his chest and promised: "Big brother, don't worry, with Xiaohu here, you will never let an enemy run into our Plains City." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Mo Chen nodded, and led the army into Plains City, the soldiers who went out of the city didn't even eat dinner, he had to let the soldiers go back to eat well, rest again, and replenish their strength and energy to face the next more brutal battle.

In the gorge, the Hun cavalry shuttled quickly, straight to the plain city, and at this time, standing on the raised rocks on the gorge, the Mo army crossbowmen had already aimed the crossbow arrows at these Hun cavalry, with a shout of killing, dense arrows overwhelmingly shot towards the Xiongnu cavalry running down the gorge.

Those Hun cavalry didn't understand what was happening, and they had already stepped into the Yellow Spring.

After Mo Chen left, Fat Tiger looked in the direction of the gorge, where the shouts of killing could be clearly heard to them.

"Brothers, Guan Cheng, you will use all your strength to let the enemy know how powerful we are, so that they will not return."

Fat Tiger Their eyes were full of strong killing intent, as soon as they entered the city gate, they ordered the city to be closed, and blocked the city gate with sandbags, so that not to mention the enemy broke through the city gate, I was afraid that even they would have to go out with a lot of effort.
