Chapter 808: Fighting the Northern Huns (2)
It's getting closer, it's getting closer.
Everything is more ambiguous.
It also becomes clearer!
All the Northern Hun soldiers kept their eyes open, narrowing their line of sight in order to gain a clearer aim and reduce the sting of speed when sprinting.
"Kill!"
Eighty thousand iron horsemen are like mountains and mountains, and the momentum is huge, and they are like thunder rolling into the distance.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, an arrow of wind broke from inside the Han cavalry camp. out.
With a "poof", a Northern Hun soldier screamed and fell off his horse.
Then he was trampled into a pulp by the iron riders behind.
The windward flag of the Han cavalry camp was raised.
The drums of war were beating.
"Puff puff ......"
The Northern Hun cavalry, who was charging in front, suddenly fell down in rows, and then came to avoid being trampled to death by the iron cavalry behind them.
Then the Northern Hun soldiers who rushed in front fell into the pit in rows.
It also attracted countless cavalry to fall off their horses, and all men and horses were there.
It turned out that the Han cavalry camp had long been prevented from the sneak attack of the Northern Huns, and large and small horse traps began to be laid out in the two miles outside the camp.
Originally, he wanted to bury wooden spikes, but when he thought that the Northern Xiongnu were also equipped with horseshoes, he didn't work hard in this regard.
However, the thistle terrestris is still densely sprinkled a lot.
Although the war horse is equipped with a horseshoe, in the high-speed running, the strength of the horse pedal on the sharp iron horns of the elite iron still has a certain probability of breaking through the horse iron.
Even if you can't use the horseshoe, it will also greatly affect the horse's running posture.
Moreover, Donglai Jun has also done experiments, and the horseshoe made of traditional steelmaking is not hard enough, and it is still very easy to be pierced by the iron thistle made of Donglai's new steel.
So Xu Ding sent a large number of thistles to the riding camp.
Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and the others were naturally not polite, and almost all of them came out, scattering several long rows of iron thistle belts outside the camp.
The horses fell down violently, causing countless Northern Hun soldiers to fall and die.
Before arriving at the Han cavalry camp, they lost thousands of cavalry soldiers, which made the Northern Xiongnu a fire.
The Han army has arranged too many traps outside, which is really depressing.
However, these losses are nothing compared to the figure of 80,000.
On the contrary, it aroused the war and anger of the Northern Xiongnu soldiers even higher.
"Kill! Break through the Han Cavalry Camp! β
It was only a mile away from the Han cavalry camp, and although the speed of the Northern Hun cavalry had dropped a lot, the momentum was still majestic.
Surrounded on three sides, approaching the Han cavalry camp.
"Put!"
Countless stone bullets and bed crossbow arrows were thrown out from the Han cavalry camp.
"Boom ......"
The army of the Northern Xiongnu was too dense.
Stone projectiles fell, and almost every one of them killed and injured several people.
From inside the camp. The bed crossbow arrows that were shot flew into the person's body, knocking the person into the back and knocking out several people in a row.
How many trebuchets and bed crossbows were there in the camp, and there were always three large rows.
Countless stone projectiles were projectiled, and countless bed crossbows flew out.
It's just 500 meters, but it's like hell.
It's a short distance, but it's a long one.
Countless Beiji cavalry died in this short 500 meters.
However, there were still more Northern Hun cavalry that broke through this death blockade.
Of course you think it's okay if you get close, then you're naΓ―ve.
The larger trenches were covered in soft soil from above, just ten meters away from the camp wall.
Countless Northern Hun war horses fell, and countless Northern Hun cavalry fell headlong.
Patches of dead and wounded again.
"Keep attacking!"
Of course, the Northern Hun cavalry behind couldn't care about this, so they continued to rush hard, stepping on the corpses of their accomplices and leaping over.
"Put!"
In the battalion, I don't know who gave the command.
One by one, thousands of people were chopped, and the honeycomb boxes of hundreds of people were shot.
A dense rain of arrows flew out of the camp walls.
"Woo Woo ......"
"Puff ......"
It was again in pieces, and the dense Northern Hun soldiers and war horses were shot into hedgehogs and fell down with a bang.
The distance of ten meters outside the camp wall was a death line, and piles of corpses and war horses stopped at this distance.
The accumulation of corpses and war horses hindered the attack of the Northern Xiongnu army, and it could only be passively stopped.
"Shoot the arrows! Kill the Han army! β
Although they couldn't rush to the side of the camp wall of the Han cavalry camp, the distance of ten meters also gave the Northern Huns hope.
They immediately opened their bows and drew arrows and began to fire arrows into the camp.
It's only ten meters, which is within the range of their bows.
There are so many people on his own side, and archery can also suppress the Han camp, and archery alone can wipe out the Han army.
In the face of the Northern Xiongnu's shooting, the Han troops in the camp withdrew from the camp wall with shields on their heads.
Didn't shoot at the Northern Huns at all.
Because it is very simple, the camp wall is built two roads, this is only the outer camp, there is also the inner camp, and the inner camp is stronger.
Evacuated to the inner camp, the Northern Huns had no way to take them.
"Damn, the Han people are too cunning, and there is even an inner camp."
Unable to shoot the Han army, the soldiers of the Northern Huns couldn't help but curse.
After fighting for a long time, I couldn't hit the enemy at all, so I was depressing as you can imagine.
"Didn't you say that the Han army had only been here for a few days? How did you build such a camp so quickly. β
"Who knows? No matter what, storm the camp gate and kill from the front. β
This is a reminder of a group of Northern Huns.
The Han army dug so many traps outside the camp wall, and also built an inner and outer camp, but the camp gate was definitely not trapped.
Han Qi can't trap his own people alive.
Not to mention, the Northern Hun cavalry responsible for attacking the camp gate is constantly attacking.
There was really no horse pit at the camp gate, and the Han army on the camp gate wall was still fighting back and did not retreat.
"Rush, kill it!"
Only such a mouth can rush in, and the Northern Huns fought even more frantically, and the elite of the organization rushed forward with their shields.
The rest of the Northern Xiongnu armies shot arrows to cover.
However, the counterattack of the Han army at the gate of the camp was also extremely ferocious.
The same shield was used to cover it, and the 100-man slash was used to face the entrance to the camp.
The Northern Huns came up to buckle the motive.
A hundred arrows flew out.
The trebuchet not far behind him kept smashing.
This made the attacking Northern Huns really injured, and every time they rushed up, they were shot down with men and horses.
After shooting a hundred people, the Han army was replaced with a new one.
The 100 people who shot the air were switched to the back and continued to reload the arrows.
rushed more than a dozen times in a row, and the Northern Huns did not rush over.
Instead, it began to spread out in a dense large array backwards.
80,000 people were too many, crowded like ants, and now they all stopped and couldn't move forward, like live targets, being shot by the Han army with trebuchets and bed crossbows at will.
Therefore, it was necessary to retreat strategically and spread out the dense formation in order to reduce casualties.
"Now it's time to strike!" Lu Bu held the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and he thought that his blood was boiling and his heart was itching, so he asked Xu Ding, who was looking at the overall situation and was calm.
It turned out that Xu Ding came over every night.
Every move of the Northern Xiongnu was under his surveillance, and when the 80,000 troops of the Northern Xiongnu left the camp and went north, he knew what the hell the hell Fuqu Lielie wanted to fight.
Therefore, inform Lu Bu and others as early as possible to arrange a counterattack.
And he also brought tens of thousands of troops and a lot of ordnance and equipment overnight.
Otherwise, the counterattack just now would not have been so fierce, blocking the 80,000 Northern Hun cavalry out of the camp.
"Attack, your department is the vanguard, the seventh lieutenant is behind, I will suppress you." Xu Ding saw that the Northern Xiongnu really wanted to withdraw and disperse, and it was the best time to attack at this time, so he didn't hesitate much.
Lu Bu roared again and again: "Go, follow me out of the camp, I will kill him today!" β
"Kill him and he'll bleed!" Lu Bu's generals shouted one after another, and Lu Bu then took 4,000 Bingzhou cavalry out of the camp, and the state army was in front, Huang Zhong rode back with the seventh captain, and more than 10,000 cavalry rushed out of the camp.
Boom, more than 10,000 horsemen suddenly slaughtered, Lu Bu was in front, waving the Fang Tian painting halberd, dancing left and right, and blasting away the corpses and war horses of the Northern Huns who were blocking the camp gate.
The entire army rushed out like a sharp blade out of its sheath and pierced the sky.
"The Han army is out, hurry, hurry up and fight!"
When the Northern Xiongnu generals saw the Han cavalry rushing out, their eyes suddenly lit up.
The original disappointing mentality stimulated a strong fighting factor, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to turn around and face the Han cavalry.
It's just that the speed of the entire Northern Xiongnu army is lost, and the formation is chaotic, and at this time, it is a little poor to form an effective combat effectiveness.
In particular, the wolf riders led by Lu Bu rushed over fiercely.
Lu Bu danced Fang Tian's halberd left and right, cutting through the crowd of Northern Hun cavalry like a knife.
One by one, the Northern Hun soldiers were cut down and shot away.
"Puff ......"
Lu Bu is indeed brave, a Fang Tian painting halberd is like a death harvester, cutting vegetables and melons to and fro.
No matter how brave and strong the Northern Hun generals were, they were no match for him, and they were all knocked out or killed in one turn.
The four thousand soldiers behind him became more and more courageous, and the will to kill the gods brought up by Lu Bu was also like being infused with supreme power, slashing and killing, and killing the Northern Hun soldiers who passed by.
4,000 people were as sharp as knives into the Northern Xiongnu army, invincible and invincible.
Lu Bu's bravery made the Northern Hun soldiers in front of him a little frightened.
Who is this?
is so brave that no one can stop it.
Could it be that he is the great general Xu Ding of the Han people.
But shouldn't Xu Ding be in the infantry battalion?
And looking at the big flag he carried, it didn't look like Xu Dingqi.
No one could stop Lu Bu and let him gallop, but the Xiongnu had no choice but to retreat, focusing on the seventh lieutenant army behind Lu Bu's 4,000 light horsemen.
Prepare to eat the Han cavalry out of the camp one bite at a time.
But then they want to fork again.
Because Huang Zhong and the others in the back are no worse than the wolf riding in Bingzhou.
Huang Zhong's bravery is not half a point worse than Lu Bu.
Huang Zhong waved his sword and followed behind the iron cavalry of Yizhou, also swinging left and right, and would rush up to try to intercept his Northern Xiongnu and slash them one by one.
is also indomitable, like killing a god in the world, brave and unhindered.
The seventh lieutenant is an elite iron cavalry experienced in a hundred battles, with rich combat experience and tenacious will, all of them are desperate Saburo, and they are extremely brave when they rush to kill.
More than 10,000 Han cavalry rushed into the scattered Northern Xiongnu army in this way, following the rhythm of Lu Bu's attack, smashing left and right, and stirring things around.
The Northern Huns were killed and wounded, and the ghosts cried wolves howled, and they were killed.
The Northern Xiongnu tried everything to try to stop them, but Han Qi was like Sun Wukong who got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, wantonly making trouble.
It made the Northern Xiongnu upset, colic and helpless.
"Damn! Damn it! β
The generals of the Northern Huns were so angry that they gritted their teeth but were helpless.
"It's a pity that I couldn't bring the crossbow over, otherwise the Han Cavalry wouldn't be so arrogant." A group of Northern Xiongnu generals repented.
They thought they had a large number of crossbows, but they did not carry them, and they thought that it would be easy to fight 80,000 to 10,000, and there was no need to use this kind of ordnance.
As a result, he was pinned down by 10,000 Han horses.
"Retreat, withdraw first, regroup your troops and horses, and regroup!"
The commander of the Northern Huns, who was in charge of commanding this army of 80,000, had to give this order.
The horns of the whining are blown up.
The special rhythm told a group of Northern Hun soldiers to retreat north.
Hula, the remaining 70,000 Northern Xiongnu troops who heard the order began to urge the horses to completely withdraw from the battle circle to the north in order to get rid of the attack of the Han cavalry.
At this time, Xu Ding in the camp smiled, then turned over his horse, drew his sword and pointed to the north: "The whole army attacked, signaled, and hunted." β
The sound of the drums was louder, and the Han horsemen lurking in the camp who heard the news got on their horses one after another.
"Kill!" Xu Ding let out a low roar, and the horsemen followed him out of the camp.
Xu Ding brought the left cavalry guard.
The horsemen followed him and rushed out, rumbling and killing the past, the Northern Huns did not expect that there were Han cavalry to kill, but they did not have the strength to intercept them, and they all gathered to the north.
Xu Ding killed and caught up easily, and there was no obstruction, and everyone raised the crossbow to shoot continuously.
"Woohoo ......!"
"Poof......
The Northern Huns, who fell in pieces, stopped an ownerless war horse.
Xu Ding waved the cold iron spear, stirred left and right to kill more fiercely, and easily tore apart the Northern Xiongnu army.
Originally, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong and other men and horses were unable to parry the Northern Huns, but now there is another new force.
And all of them are equipped with repeaters.
It was even more so that the Northern Hun soldiers along the way did not dare to resist, urging the horses to flee.
Xu Ding and Lu Bu are like two fierce dragons, constantly rolling and devouring.
stirred and killed each other, and quickly defeated and disrupted the 70,000 troops of the Northern Xiongnu.
At this time, the commander of the Northern Xiongnu was unable to integrate the troops at all, and was unable to assemble, so he had to order a complete withdrawal from the battlefield to the north, not seeking a battle.
I just want to bring more soldiers back.
This battle was frustrating, and it was really painful.
But they wanted to go, and then another iron rider came out from the northwest.
The white horse, silver robe and silver spear at the head.
Rushing over, the spear danced like a dragon, and it was brave and invincible, and it directly killed through, cutting off the Northern Huns with all the defeated horses.
30,000 Han cavalry fought 70,000, three sharp blades that harvested human lives, and kept strangling.
From hazy dawn to complete dawn, an hour later.
The battle is largely over.
Half of the Northern Xiongnu fled, and 40,000 horsemen were slaughtered in this meat grinder.
Of course, the 40,000 who escaped were also like frightened birds, and were chased by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other troops to the Northern Xiongnu camp, which was completely over.
However, at this time, only 10,000 of the 40,000 who escaped were left.
Most of it was beheaded because the horses were unable to run and were overtaken.
I walked all night last night, the people and horses were tired, and they fought in the Han cavalry camp for half an hour, and the Northern Huns had long since lost much strength to escape.
That's why this tragedy happened.
"What? An army of 80,000 people, only so many people remain......"
Eighty thousand, this is 80,000 genuine Northern Hun elite cavalry.
It's not a mixed beard, it's not a second-rate tribe like Xianbei.
Seventy thousand were lost in the first battle, and his heart was so painful that he almost fainted, looking at the generals who came back with gray faces and knelt on the ground, they covered their chests with one hand in disbelief and pointed at them with the other, and they couldn't say a word behind them.
