Chapter 340: Destroy Ma Han
King Ma Han led his troops to the south bank of the Han River, and he first rectified the rout, stabilized his position, and set up camp; Then King Ma Han personally came out to call the battle, first spoke a lot of Ma Han, and then a general dressed as a Han next to him translated: "I am Ma Han King Jia Bane, dare to ask Your Excellency is Gongsun Taishou's subordinate general?" ”
Xu Rong immediately stepped forward and said: "I am not a subordinate of Gongsun Du, my surname is Xu Minghua, just a pirate." Today, he led all his subordinates to conquer the small states of Occupy Er and other lower states! ”
King Ma Han was angry enough when he heard this, he thought that Xu Rong was sent by Gongsun Du, but he didn't expect him to say that he was a pirate. King Ma Han felt greatly insulted, and the other party did not reveal his true identity to him. King Ma Han glanced at a fierce general behind him, preparing to fight with this group of "pirates" first.
A centurion on Xu Rong's side came out of the battle, named Gao Chong, and saw Gao Chong holding a long halberd to urge him to step forward, majestic. There was also a handful on the other side, dressed more savagely, with backward smelting skills, holding a mace in his hand, wearing leather armor that seemed to be made of bear skin, and occasionally turning a little fur everywhere. He wears a fur hat with two pheasant feathers stuck on top of it.
The general had a fierce face, and the weapon was just smashed vigorously at Gao Pet, without any technical content at all. Gao Pet fought with him with his superb equestrian skills and good martial arts, and there was a clanging sound of weapons clashing, and his physical strength was consumed to the point where there was not much left. Gao Pet broke the brute force with skill, and the halberd went to sea like a dragon, and a halberd picked the general off the horse.
Han Xuanjun's soldiers all cheered thunderously, and they rubbed their swords and shields, emitting a murderous aura that shook the sky. On the other side, King Ma Han was dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "This is impossible!" How could I, the first warrior of Mahan, Wuliju, be defeated by a mere pirate? ”
The generals behind King Ma Han were all frightened, King Ma Han gritted his teeth, and he lost face. Since we can't fight alone, then the army will press over and win by numbers. With a wave of his hand, the army rushed towards Gao Chong, and Xu Rong hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to let Gao Chong come back.
King Ma Han saw that the water village had been closed, so he had to withdraw his troops. returned to the camp and ordered to build siege equipment, prepare to attack the water village, and drive the Han army down the Han River; Just by the way, you can take the soldiers and horses waiting for Benhan Chenhan, and at the same time, you can also mobilize more troops.
More than ten days have passed, on the one hand, Xu Rong is to drag down the enemy army and go out to challenge from time to time, and Ma Han is to transfer troops and send generals, but he is not in a hurry, and both sides have their own calculations.
The first to arrive was the 20,000 horses mobilized from the direction of Sixuan, all of which were garrison troops stationed in various places in peacetime, not elite. Benhan and Chenhan asked the Wa Kingdom for instructions to help Ma Han defeat the Han army first, and then slowly clean up Ma Han. The Wa Kingdom naturally agreed, and they also hoped that the three Hans would only pay tribute to them, and not let the Han intervene. So the armies of Benhan and Chenhan came one after another, each with 30,000 elites.
Now the three Hans have made it up, although they have joined forces temporarily, but they were enemies after all. Mahan also took in the rebels of the two countries, so the three families intrigued with each other, and the generals of the three Koreas were also afraid of being used as cannon fodder by the other party.
King Ma Han showed his demeanor as a leader of a "great power" and said: "You should put aside your prejudices first, the enemy water village can attack from three directions, and each country will attack one side." ”
After resting for a night, Ma Han was already well prepared, and the three kingdoms of Ma Han, Ben Han, and Chen Han began to occupy one direction each, and they lined up to prepare for the attack. I saw more than a dozen soldiers in the front row carrying a wooden ladder, first jogging, then accelerating a little bit, and the follow-up soon rushed to a distance of 500 meters.
At this time, Xu Rong's heart was very nervous, Han Xuan only gave him 20,000 navies this time, although they were all elite. But after all, there were 100,000 troops on the battlefield at this time, and Xu Rong had divided his troops before, and at this time, there were only 10,000 horses on his side. One to ten, can Xu Rong be sure that every soldier under his command can fight ten?
Fortunately, their building ships were loaded with trebuchets on this trip, and now they are also "heavy artillery" when they unload the ship. When a large area of the three Han troops rushed over, Han Xuanjun had already begun to attack with trebuchets, and the heavy artillery battalion had already tested in advance what angle and how far away. Many of these soldiers who operated trebuchets were brought out by Zodiac Zhou and knew how to use trebuchets to the fullest.
Huge boulders crossed the parabola and smashed into the formation of the Samhan army, and from time to time Samhan soldiers were smashed into pulp. Some of the timid recruits tried to retreat, but were stabbed to death by a group of dwarf soldiers with long swords behind them, who had been sent by the Wa Kingdom to oversee the war. The Wa State did not dare to pick up the beard of the Great Han Tiger, so they had to send a part of the soldiers and horses to mix in the armies of Benhan and Chenhan, in order to curb Gongsun Du's forces from entering Sanhan.
Four hundred steps, three hundred steps....... Quite a few Samhan soldiers had already rushed through the range of the trebuchet, too close and not at enough angles to attack. The trebuchet was still attacking the three Han soldiers rushing up from behind, and the forward three Han soldiers had already rushed to within one hundred and fifty paces, and Xu Rong ordered the bed crossbow to fire a volley. Rows of huge arrows flew over, and many of the three Korean soldiers were shot in pairs.
The surviving ones rushed forward a hundred steps, and Han Xuanjun's crossbowmen were already ready to shoot arrows, and at this time, what crossbows, longbows, and crossbows shot arrows in unison, killing all those lucky ones.
"Kill the past, and kill those who retreat!" The Japanese soldiers rushed behind with bronze swords shouting and killing, but they were immediately hit by a large number of rockets. These Japanese soldiers were surrounded by flames, and they howled and rushed towards Xu Rongshui Village, but before they could reach the gate of the village, they were burned to charcoal.
King Ma Han and the two generals of Chen Han and Ben Han couldn't help but shake their heads repeatedly, this is suicide, and if they continue to attack like this, their soldiers and horses will be folded here.
Mahan is the largest of the three Koreas, consisting of 54 city-states, roughly located in Jeolla-do, Chungcheong-do, and Gyeonggi-do, Mahan's inhabitants are indigenous to the peninsula, and later Buyeo went south to annex Mahan and establish Baekje.
Jinhan is mainly located east of the Nakdong River and consists of 12 city-states. The inhabitants of Chenhan were mainly descendants of the people who fled during the Qin Dynasty, and they established a city-state here to live alongside people from other tribes. Later, one of the city-states absorbed the other city-states and developed into Silla.
Benhan is the smallest and close to Wajima, so the population composition is complex. In addition to the natives and remnants of the Qin Dynasty, there were also the Wa people, which consisted of 12 city-states and later developed into Gaya, but was absorbed by Silla. Benhan is located to the south and west of the Nakdong River. Samhan is composed of a total of 78 city-states, with a population of 7.8 million households.
The three Koreans all want to annex each other, especially Benhan and Jinhan, and they still want to preserve their strength.
But King Mahan did not want to withdraw, because the enemy wanted to capture his land, and he could not explain to his people that he had lost a large part of his country. King Ma Han ordered to intensify the attack, wanting to crush the enemy army with the tactics of a sea of people.
"The enemy army will not have too many arrows, as long as our three countries work together, we will definitely be able to drive these Han people out." ”
The two generals of Benhan and Chenhan shook their heads helplessly, and they had to strengthen their attacks. The three Han soldiers finally rushed to the gate of the water village with arrows, Xu Rong ordered the soldiers to stab the enemy with spears, and Han Xuanjun also suffered a small number of casualties.
In fact, this was all Xu Rong deliberately ordered the crossbow soldiers to weaken the attack, and this time Han Xuan collected most of the arrows in Jiangdong and let the 20,000 expeditionary forces bring them. It was more than enough to deal with these brainless Sanhan soldiers, but Xu Rong was afraid that the Sanhan soldiers would collapse. Only by letting them see the hope of defeating themselves can they hold back the main force of Ma Han and buy time for Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng.
The three Han soldiers continued to attack the water village, and the casualties were extremely heavy, and the small boats of the Mahan naval army had already been destroyed by the navy led by Xu Rong, and the Han River had been controlled by Xu Rong. The tribes in the southwest of Mahan occupied by Xu Rong were forced to deliver a steady stream of food and feathered arrows to Han Xuan's army.
Approaching the water village of Han Xuanjun, the archers of Sanhan also began to release arrows, but the casualties of Han Xuanjun were very small, and the sophisticated shields and armor blocked the simple arrows of the Sanhan soldiers.
In order to defend the country, Ma Hanbing naturally rushed to the front, and they finally climbed the wooden ladder to the water village. I saw an iron wall erected, and iron spears came out of the cracks in the iron wall, piercing the bodies of the Samhan soldiers from time to time. The three Han soldiers fell under the wooden wall of the water village, covering their wounds and wailing from time to time when they were lucky not to die, in this era of lack of medical treatment, disability is more painful than death.
Seeing that more than half of his soldiers and horses were killed or wounded, King Ma Han shouted angrily: "Quick, quickly collect the troops, collect the troops." ”
