The camp of Tianyu was built on a flat land between the two hills, which was more than ten meters shorter than the outermost mountain, and there were not many smooth roads to go out. He had the infantry and crossbowmen go first, take a stand in front of the outer slopes, and then let the cavalry lead the horses out.

Except for a hundred men who remained in the main camp and a hundred who continued to cut down wood to strengthen the camp, the rest of the two hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry were all lined up on the slope. The cavalry was on the left, the infantry in front, and the crossbowmen in the rear. To the right is a steep slope that is difficult to attack from the back. So only a dozen crossbowmen were released.

In addition, Tian Yu himself took a hundred horsemen to the higher places in the rear as a reserve. There were also some men between the reserve and the main formation, ready to transport arrows and wounded soldiers.

The larger the number of people, the more difficult it is to schedule. In rugged mountainous terrain, it is even more difficult. Yesterday, more than 300 people went out, and it only took half an hour, but this time it took a whole hour to set up the formation. In addition to lining up the soldiers and horses, Tian Yu also sent people to set up a lot of flags on the hills behind him with great fanfare, so as to confuse the rebels on the opposite side.

By the time the formation was complete, the sun had risen in the east. The morning sun was warm and bright, shining on the 800 Han soldiers who were waiting for the battle, and also on the rebels gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Although the soldiers and horses of Tianyu were facing the sun, which was slightly unfavorable, they occupied the hillside and were condescending, so they had an absolute geographical advantage, which was enough to offset the disadvantages brought by the sun. This situation is not only understood by Chen Cheng, but also by Tian Yu, by the soldiers of the Han army, and by the Hu and Han generals such as Qiu Liju at the foot of the mountain.

But even if you know, what can you do? Is it waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from officers and soldiers? Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to grab one or two mountains and block the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in the mountains!

Seeing the neat appearance of the officers and soldiers on the mountain, Qiu Liju couldn't help but swallow his saliva. From the founding of the Han Dynasty to the present, it has been beating the surrounding barbarians. Even when the Huns were at their strongest, they never defeated the same number of Han troops on a frontal battlefield.

Their Wuhuan people just took advantage of the civil strife of the Xianbei people to grab a large area of grassland in the east, which became stronger, in terms of strength, far from being compared with the Xianbei people more than ten years ago, not to mention the Huns who had forced the Han people to have to make peace. What even the Huns can't do, can they Wuhuan people do?

With the thought of the thing underneath him, he knew that it was impossible. The Han army on the mountain is strong and strong, it seems that there are two or three thousand people, and if a Han man can beat five Hu people, how many people will have to die to defeat the enemy on the mountain? And they also occupy a vantage point in a high place, which makes it even more difficult to fight.

If he could, Qiu Liju would definitely not say a word, turn around and leave. They are Hu people, if they can't fight, they will run away, and if they can't run, they will kneel down and call Dad, this is a very normal thing, why do you have to fight with the elite officers and soldiers here?

Because, the real dad is watching him from behind........

Seeing that the Wuhuan people were grinding and didn't want to do anything, a rebel general rushed over with a horse, and scolded angrily: "What are you still grinding? I can't take that hillside before dark, and more than 100 officers will be beheaded! ”

The other party's spit and stars were sprayed on his face, Qiu Li trembled angrily, and he wanted to draw a knife to kill the man in front of him, but he ....... Can't. Not only did he not dare, but he had to accompany the smiling face and said: "Attack immediately!" ”

With that, he turned around, his face stretched long, and shouted at the leaders of the tribes, "Did you hear that? Take out all the strength you put on the woman! I can't hit the slope above, I'll smash your heads one by one! ”

The desolate horn sounded, and more than 3,000 Xianbei Huns and other miscellaneous Huns dismounted, took scimitars, bows, arrows, hammers and other weapons, and walked towards the mountain. Yes, the Han people can persecute the Wuhuan people, Qiu Liju is learned, and when he turns around, he persecutes Xianbei and other miscellaneous people. Although the Xianbei people were the overlords of the grassland more than ten years ago, and the Huns once dominated the desert for hundreds of years, it is the Wuhuan people who now dominate the eastern grassland, so they can only voluntarily take the lead.

The equipment of the miscellaneous beards is naturally not comparable to that of the Han army, and even the elite of the Wuhuan Department cannot be compared, but after all, they are young and strong from various departments, and their combat effectiveness is still there. After more than 3,000 people unfolded, it was also a piece of black pressure, which looked intimidating.

Seeing that the enemy began to attack on his back, the drums sounded in the Han army's battle array. The soldiers who were resting on the ground stood up in unison. Because they were fighting in the mountains, most of the Han soldiers abandoned their spears and used swords and shields instead. The sword and shield men moved out of the way, allowing the crossbowmen to line up in two rows at the front of the formation.

After the second drum, the archers began to shoot diagonally upwards unhurriedly. The rain of arrows fired by more than a hundred archers was not dense, but due to the difference in height and the lack of equipment, Zahu still caused a lot of casualties. After killing a dozen people by arrows falling from the sky, the rest of the men put their shields on their heads and ran wildly upward.

However, they attacked from the bottom of the mountain, how did they get up fast? Finally rushed to within fifty paces, and many people had already been lost. At this time, after the Han archers threw five rounds of light arrows, they replaced them with heavy arrows for armor-piercing and fired directly. Crossbowmen also aim with Lookout, delivering long-range strikes against slowly approaching enemy forces. The power of heavy arrows is far from being comparable to that of light arrows thrown at them, and light arrows may be able to jump around after a few hits. With a sturdy suit of armor and a stiff helmet, the light arrows are negligible.

However, if you are hit by a heavy arrow from a direct point at close range, unless you are wearing iron armor, you can save half of your life, and the other immortals will lose the ability to continue fighting. And the Han army's strong crossbows are even more powerful, and each salvo can bring down a large number of soldiers. Whenever the crossbowmen took aim, the Zahu soldiers were frightened.

Fortunately, the winding of the crossbow is very troublesome, and the archer fires the bow three times, and the crossbowman may not be able to shoot once. Otherwise, the crossbowman alone will destroy all the enemies that come to attack. Of course, even if a crossbowman can fire as fast as an archer, it is impossible to completely destroy the enemy. After all, it takes a lot of physical effort to wind a bow and crossbow, and a person who can fire a bow thirty times in a row can be considered a good soldier.

Arrows rained down, crushing the Zahu soldiers in the front row so much that they couldn't lift their heads. The sound of the bowstrings vibrating was punctuated by the sound of broken shields and screams of soldiers. The Zahu army in the rear took off their horned bows and throwing ropes, and fired arrows and projectiles towards the mountain. However, the distance is still far away, and they are projectile from the bottom to the top, and they are at a disadvantage congenitally, and there are few natural results.

Seeing that the enemy army began to shoot arrows, Chen Cheng took ten steps forward in battle, stood on a big stone, and relied on the strength of his bow and arrows to name the enemy archers in the distance one by one. He quickly shot all the arrows on his body, and Wei Ran and the others on the side handed him the arrows he was carrying, and asked him to continue shooting.

Soon, the bearded shooter noticed him. Dozens of powerful bows shot at him together, arrows falling in front of him and behind him, and some falling on him with a clanging sound. He was indifferent to these harassments, and kept firing his bow according to the established rhythm, blasting the opposing shooter to slag.

After less than half an hour of shooting, the miscellaneous shooter couldn't bear it, and didn't dare to get together anymore, so he could only hide in the crowd and sneak in when he had the opportunity. Seeing that the enemy was instigated, Chen Cheng was not picky, changed the target, and poured arrows on the enemies in the front row.

After Zhao Si handed Chen Cheng a bag of arrows again, Wei Ran swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking, "How many arrows have you shot?" ”

Zhao Si said numbly: "More than a hundred arrows." ”

Although it was not the first time they had seen Chen Cheng's inhuman side, they were still extremely shocked. Not only them, but everyone who could see this scene was shocked. Qiu Liju's eyelids jumped at the foot of the mountain, and he said in his heart: "What kind of pimple did such a brave person jump out of?" ”

The rebel soldiers who pressed the formation were also dumbfounded, and some even looked back to see if the sun was still rising in the east today.

The Zahu on the front line was shot down by rows and rows, and the strong crossbows that couldn't even be blocked by shields really couldn't stand it and were defeated one after another. It took so much to rush to the front, and they only needed to run a few more steps to get up to hand-to-hand combat, but it was at this time that they began to escape, exposing their backs to the Han army.

The front ones began to turn around and run away, and the ones behind naturally followed suit.

Qiu Liju, who was at the foot of the mountain, had an ugly face, he originally had the idea of "winning the peace and external troubles, and losing the internal strife", and was ready to consume the young and strong people of Zahu, and then take over their subordinates and cattle and sheep, isn't that beautiful?

But who would have thought that these guys were so useless that they would be defeated before they could rush to the officers and soldiers?

He didn't want to look back at the faces of those men, so he drew his scimitar and shouted at the soldiers around him: "Go and capture the leaders of the defeated tribes!" ”

After a while, more than a dozen tribal leaders, large and small, were pressed in front of Qiu Liju. Qiu Liju resisted the urge to look back, and said with a calm face: "What did I tell you before?" If you can't beat it, you have to die! ”

"Spare your life, spare your life!" A kneeling chief shouted: "It's not that we are incompetent, it's that the enemy is too strong!" Your Excellency, you can see it below, the arrows of the officers and soldiers are as dense as leaves, and the children can't rush at all! ”

Qiu Liju also agreed with this statement in his heart, but since he had the intention of annexing miscellaneous cards, where would he reason with others? With a wave of his hand, he said, "Cut it!" ”

The sound of a sharp weapon cutting flesh and bone rang out for a few seconds, then fell silent. The heads of the Zahu chieftains were picked up by spears and stuck in front of the rebel positions. Seeing that their leader had been killed, the Zahu soldiers were very frightened and were forced to attack the mountain again. Under the persecution of death, these people let out a beastly howl, jumped from mountain to mountain, and some of them actually rushed forward.

Seeing someone rushing forward, the crossbowmen retreated, and the sword and shield soldiers rushed out in groups of several people to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. On the one hand, the soldiers were willing to die, and the result was naturally that the Han soldiers with more troops and better physical strength were victorious.

After paying more than a dozen casualties, the Zahu soldiers were defeated again. This time, Qiu Liju mercifully let them go and let them go down to trim. Of course, before repairing, it must be broken up and supplemented to the various Wuhuan tribes.
