Chapter 50: The Attack Goes On
Sima Shu's Chinese army has already discovered the attacking Xiongnu.
The two sides looked at each other from a distance, ready to line up to meet the enemy.
Although both sides were dominated by cavalry, Malone had no intention of using cavalry against cavalry. The wheelbarrows that had been prepared to pull goods had already been vacated, and one after another were placed on the periphery of the military formation. The sides of the wheelbarrow combined with the large shield immediately became a wide and simple female wall, behind which was a crossbow.
Ma Long gave up the cavalry hedge and switched to a formation defense, which gave Hao San a headache.
Although the Xiongnu migrated inward, they also began to learn from the Han people to cultivate the land, but the soldiers were either horse bandits or herdsmen from the Hetao. They still grew up on horseback like the original Huns, and they had the advantage in cavalry warfare. Now that Ma Long is defending with a car shield, even if it is a thin two layers, Hao San does not have the confidence to break it in one go. If there was no bow and crossbow behind the shield, Hao San would rather pull out his beads.
The soldier standing on the ground is more stable than riding on a horse, and in the process of cavalry charging, he can send out one more arrow than the cavalry, and this arrow is more than a hundred lives.
If it was to break the army, Hao San would choose to retreat without hesitation, but this battle was to kill Sima Shu, even if the battle damage was within Hao San's tolerance, otherwise this expedition would not be a big reward when he sneaked into the pass, to put it bluntly, the two thousand people under Hao San were all death squads!
Good steel should be used on the blade, Hao San did not have the consciousness to put the death squad in the charging position, and ordered the Zahu who came to Guanzhong to subdue, and with them to resist the bow and crossbow in front, the death squad would die a lot less.
"Attack!"
With Hao San's order, the horse's hooves rumbled, and the battle began!
It was the first time Sima Shu had seen the scene of a cold weapon battle, and the orders on the battlefield were not as bells and whistles as in the TV series. Conveying orders is often only a short word or two, whether it is offensive or conveying, concise, efficient and direct are the main principles.
The female wall soldiers are not long, why didn't Hao San go around to the rear to attack?
On the high platform of the Chinese army, Sima Shu humbly asked Ma Long with questions: "Behind our female wall is the cavalry, because the female wall is blocked by the female wall and now you can only watch from behind, but why didn't Hao San go around to the back of the military formation to attack, there is no female wall behind!" ”
"That's because they know that if they go around to the back, I'll turn the women's wall upside down and open two passages, and then the cavalry will be in the rear and they will still face the women's wall. And the horsepower will also be lost if you go around a big circle like that, so it's not as good as the effect of rushing into battle like now! ”
"Then why don't they fight on both sides?"
"The enemy and us are equal, if Hao San divides the troops, after our cavalry breaks out of the women's wall, we can directly defeat the front half of the battle with superior forces, and then work together to encircle and suppress the remaining half, which will only defeat faster!"
I see! TV series kills people!
Sima Shu secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate that he did not meddle in military affairs indiscriminately, otherwise he would have to die at a loss with his own level!
As he spoke, Zahu had already rushed within range of the crossbow.
The range of the crossbow machine was far longer than that of Zahu's bow and arrows, and Zahu's arrows were subjected to a rain of arrows before they could be fired, taking away a hundred and ten lives as Hao San expected. Then came the battle between arrows and arrows, and Qianghu lost more than 100 lives in the attack, while the Jin army only had more than 20 casualties - Qianghu didn't have a few decent armor to defend himself!
In the roar, Qiang Hu finally approached the battle formation and collided with the first layer of the female wall, and the car shield that made up the first layer of the female wall was shattered under the huge impact, and some were even hit and flew up. The soldiers who didn't have time to disperse were hit by the car shield and immediately broke their bones and tendons, and they were even thrown on the second layer of the women's wall by a huge force before stopping.
Qianghu finally stopped, and the soldiers behind him took the long hair on top. The two sides entered a bloody battle.
Hao San ignored Qiang Hu's life and death, and ordered the death squad to dispatch.
This wave of sniper death squads without bows and crossbows until no one was damaged in front of the battle, no matter who crashed into the chaotic battlefield in front of them, the second layer of the female wall shattered. The Qiang Hu and Jin soldiers who didn't dodge in time all died instantly under the huge impact!
On the other side, the cavalry of the Jin army also began to accelerate when the Hun cavalry launched, and arrived just in time when the second layer of female wall was broken. Two cavalry rode staggered. At this moment, the advantages of both sides are undoubted. The equipment of the Jin army was superior to that of the Xiongnu, and the horsemanship of the Xiongnu was superior to that of the Jin army. Each has its own strengths, and they fight to be equal.
The soldiers defending the formation shrank on both sides of the road, forming three circles with the eyes of the formation where Sima Shu was in the middle, and together they shot the enemy with crossbows and crossbows to the auxiliary cavalry.
The battle situation was stalemate, and Sima Shu's palms turned into a cold sweat, staring nervously at the battlefield below! I wondered when the other two reinforcements would be able to come back.
"Hopefully there are no surprises!"
The layout of Marlon's periphery is enough to defend against another attacking Qianghu, and once the winner is decided in front of him, he can quickly support it. But Sima Shuhao and Ma Long didn't expect that the straw bag of Huangfu Shang had already been defeated, and Qiang Hu rushed straight to the Chinese army, and suddenly met Sima Cambodia who had returned thirty miles away!
At this time, Lin Yuan's soldiers and horses who could appear were nothing but the enemy, and Sima Cambodia did not even test and directly waved his army to cover the kill.
Sima Cambodia brought all the people who were painstakingly recruited capable of fighting, and the old foundation was the leader of the forbidden army equipped by Emperor Wu of Jin when he named Sima Cambodia as the king of Qin. As soon as he fought Zhao Shishi, he felt that something was wrong. There is a world of difference between the soldiers and horses in front of him and the soldiers and horses last night, although the number of people is only half of that of Qianghu, but they will be killed by seven pieces with their own Qianghu.
Zhao Shishi realized that he had encountered the hard stubble in the Jin army, and wanted to escape as soon as he greeted him, but Hao Duyuan almost exploded his lungs when he saw it! With a blow, the person in front of him was picked away and shouted to Zhao Shishi: "Qu Shuai, you must not retreat, they don't have to run slowly, once they escape, they will inevitably be covered and killed, and then there will be a worry that the whole army will be wiped out!" ”
"A hard bar will wipe out the whole army! Walk! ”
Zhao Shishi didn't pay any attention to Hao Duyuan, and retreated!
Until now, he still hasn't understood Hao Duyuan's evil deeds! Qiang Hu entangled the rescued men and horses, so that Hao San could kill Sima Shu in time!
Sima Cambodia brought all the people who were painstakingly recruited capable of fighting, and the old foundation was the leader of the forbidden army equipped by Emperor Wu of Jin when he named Sima Cambodia as the king of Qin. As soon as he fought Zhao Shishi, he felt that something was wrong. There is a world of difference between the soldiers and horses in front of him and the soldiers and horses last night, although the number of people is only half of that of Qianghu, but they will be killed by seven pieces with their own Qianghu.
