Chapter 85: Infantry Against the Huns

Ye Tong saw the change in the Huns' faces from the telescope, and knew that the Huns did not put the triangular red deer in their eyes, thinking that they would block the speed at most. Ye Tong was smiling in his heart, when it came to the impact, the Huns would definitely be satisfied.

Ye Tong stood on the temporary command platform and personally commanded the battle. There is no way, only Zhang Han was promoted to division commander among the several generals under him, and the other Zhou Bo, Chen Fei and others are only brigade commanders.

Even Zhang Han can only command one division to fight at this time, and the strength of 20,000 people is beyond the sky. And now the infantry commanding the operation has reached 50,000, Zhang Han's ability is strong, and the problem system does not admit it, so Ye Tong has to personally command the operation.

"Order, ballista and catapult commanders, the range at all decides to shoot, and without asking for instructions, fire directly."

"Yes!"

The herald immediately gives the order, and the standard-bearer gives the order with the flag, so that there will be no mistake. Historically, there have been many cases where there have been problems with the heralds, and there have been many cases where the battle has failed.

"Order, commander of the archers, command the archers to fire according to the range, taking care to save physical strength."

"Yes!"

"Order, the shield soldiers should pay attention to the arrows of the Hun iron cavalry, and protect the spearmen; The spearmen pay attention to hunting, and assassinate when they have the opportunity, without asking for instructions. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Tong gave orders one after another, and the entire battle array took action at once. The soldier who had been sitting lazily on the ground and chatting nonsense immediately stood up, as if he had changed people, full of energy, monstrous fighting spirit, and exuding a murderous aura.

When the Xiongnu iron cavalry arrived in front of the battle formation, they saw that the Qin army was ready, and did not attack immediately, but stopped to observe the Qin army's battle formation.

The Huns did not pay attention to the red deer in front of the battle array, but to the countless spears on the chariot, the head was large, and if they rushed forward, they would be seriously injured if they did not die.

There were not many spears in the chariots, only three spears were installed in each vehicle. The problem is that there are countless spearmen waiting behind the chariot, and once the cavalry rushes up, there is no need to think about it, in addition to the spears on the chariot, the spearmen will also shoot.

The Huns knew in their hearts that they had to fill in the corpses, smash the chariots, and break through the pikemen's defenses, so that they could really attack the battle formation.

The problem is that behind the pikemen, a large number of archers are ready to shoot at any time. Once the Hun iron horsemen swarm up, what awaits will be a rain of arrows.

The arrow had to be fired, the Huns could not afford to wait, they had to attack, once Ye Tong led the troops and horses to retreat into Yancheng, the attack would be even more difficult.

After all, Ye Tong had already kept his promise to lead his troops and horses out of the city to fight, and once the Huns retreated and did not take advantage of it, Ye Tong could retreat into the city at any time.

After a moment's hesitation, the Huns attacked. Beginning a tentative attack, the Huns sent 10,000 iron cavalry to probe the strength of the Qin army's battle array.

On the arc-shaped battlefield of nearly a thousand meters, 10,000 iron cavalry rushed up, were immediately diluted, and rushed to the front of the battle formation to split into three groups to attack. The commander of the Qin army had long marked out the various shooting elements, and according to different areas, he commanded ballistas, catapults, and archers to shoot.

Thundered! Thundered!

The first to fire were ballista and catapult, and the two weapons had an attack range of about 300 meters. For a time, over the battlefield, stones of different sizes and thick crossbow arrows flew all over the sky, fiercely smashing into the galloping Hun iron cavalry array.

About 300 meters in front of the battle array, all of a sudden the Hun iron horsemen were smashed one after another, and some were directly penetrated into the bodies of several Hun iron horsemen by crossbow arrows.

The bombardment of the catapult was even more terrifying, and the momentum was huge, smashing into the war horses and the Huns, and there was basically no chance of survival. The war horse was smashed and fell directly, and the person was smashed, it must have been a blur of flesh and blood, and he couldn't die anymore.

Relying on more than 200 crossbow carts and dozens of catapults, they could not stop the pace of the Xiongnu iron cavalry, and soon rushed through the death line and entered the range of archers.

The commander of the archers yelled, shoot! Three-stage.

Whoosh!

The rain of arrows in the sky flew fiercely towards the galloping Hun iron horse, and from time to time the Hun iron horse fell and fell off the horse. Once you fall off the horse, even if you don't die, you will be trampled to death by the war horses of your comrades behind, and there is no chance of survival, what awaits you is death.

On the charge line of the Hun iron cavalry, many Huns fell off their horses, and some of the war horses were stoned to death, which immediately affected the iron cavalry behind. Running quickly and wanting to stop, it was extremely difficult, it could only collide, and for a while, people on the battlefield turned on their backs and became a mess.

The rain of arrows in the sky could not stop the advance of the Hun iron cavalry, and although there were heavy losses along the way, there were still thousands of Hun iron cavalry killed in front of the chariot.

Some of the Xiongnu horses were too fast to stop, and they directly crashed into the chariot, and were pierced by the spears on the chariot, and even the war horse was stabbed to death and became a corpse.

Blood was raging on the chariot, countless Hun iron horsemen were assassinated by spears, and blood rain sprayed from the wounds, flying into the sky, forming a brilliant curve, which made people look so bright and bloody.

The Hun cavalry, which had dodged the chariot spears, once again faced the assassination of the spearmen. With the order of the commander, stab, collect the gun! Stab again, put away the gun!

The front of the chariot formation immediately became a killing battlefield, and there were constantly Hun iron horsemen who were assassinated by spearmen and pierced through their bodies. It was a one-sided massacre, the spearmen were protected by chariots and shields, and they did not fear that they would be attacked, despite the assassination.

The chariot defense line is the real line of death, and it has become the burial ground and cemetery of the Hun iron cavalry. There were constantly Hun iron horsemen who were assassinated, killed a Hun iron horseman, and the Hun iron horsemen behind rushed up again, were assassinated again, and rushed up again.

The gunners strictly follow the commander's orders to draw and collect their guns, everything is so mechanical, like a robot, and the execution of orders is not compromised.

It's a stab, put away the gun! Stab again, put away the gun! The two most basic actions have become a nightmare for the Hun iron cavalry on the battlefield, not to mention breaking through the battle formation, even the chariot is difficult to break through.

Of course, there are still spearmen and shield soldiers who will be hit by arrows, after all, the battle mode of the Hun Iron Cavalry is bow and arrow shooting, and the riding and archery ability is good. Once within range of the Xiongnu iron cavalry bows and arrows, the Huns must have shot quickly. Inflict certain casualties on the gunners.

When a gunner fell, the gunners in the back row stepped forward without hesitation to make up for the formation, so as to make the gunline perfect in time and give full play to the maximum lethality of the gun.

10,000 Hun iron cavalry attacked, and after twenty minutes, less than half of the Xiongnu iron cavalry remained. The remaining Xiongnu cavalry could not break through the Qin army's chariot array, and had no choice but to retreat.

If you don't retreat, you can't do it! The sky is full of arrows that can take away lives at any time. No one wants to die, no one is not afraid of death, ants are good and steal life, let alone people?

The first wave of the Huns' attacks ended, leaving behind nearly 6,000 corpses, and only 4,000 horsemen could not escape. The loss of 6,000 horsemen in twenty minutes was quite painful for the Huns. However, for the Huns, who had twenty iron cavalry, thousands of casualties did not affect the overall situation.

Ye Tong kept watching, and found that the triangular nails sprinkled on the ground had a very good effect, and half of the six thousand dead Hun iron horsemen were because the triangular nails pierced the Huns' war horses, and the war horses were in pain, and the Huns on horseback were lifted off, and then they were turned into meat by the war horses behind.

"Order, let the soldiers be in front of the formation, drink more triangular nails, don't worry about supplies, as long as you can kill and wound the Huns, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it. Besides, isn't it a triangular nail? General Ben still has it here, so don't worry about using it boldly. ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers who did not participate in the battle immediately ran to the front of the formation and desperately sprinkled the triangular nails in the sack on the ground.

Ye Tong believed that after the Huns attacked tentatively, the next wave of attacks would be very strong. Because the Huns didn't have that much time to confront each other. The confrontation will not be beneficial to the Huns, but only to the Qin army. After all, the Qin army had cities, and the Huns were in the wilderness, so the supply problem was very difficult.

Half an hour later, the Huns attacked again. This wave of offensive was very powerful, and 50,000 iron horsemen were dispatched at one time.

Seeing the 50,000 iron horsemen of the Huns coming from the telescope, Ye Tong was slightly stunned! sighed in my heart, the Huns have to work hard! You know, the battlefield is just like that, 50,000 iron horsemen, that's a sea of people.

Hehe!

Ye Tong knew in his heart that the Huns wanted to break through the chariot defense line in one fell swoop in order to successfully enter the Qin army's battle array. The question is, is the chariot array so easy to break?

As soon as the Hun iron cavalry entered the range of the ballista and catapult, the commander ordered the shooting in time. For a time, countless stones and stout crossbow arrows in the sky smashed into the galloping Hun iron horse.

Bang! Thundered!

As soon as the Hun iron cavalry entered the front of the chariot array about 300 meters, not only had to withstand the shooting of catapults and ballistas, but also faced those small toys on the ground, tied to the horse's hooves, the war horse immediately soared, and the Huns on horseback could no longer control it.

The war horses in the rush, the hooves were injured, some of the war horses fell down suddenly, and the Huns on the back of the horses were lifted off the horses, and some of the war horses were injured but not very serious, causing the war horses to go crazy and flutter, and the Huns on the horseback were lifted off, and the war horses were running around.

The Huns, who were stripped off their horses, were decided by fate at this moment, and were directly trampled into pulp by the war horses behind. The battlefield is so cruel and ruthless, not to mention that the Huns do not have the habit of saving their comrades, even if they have, they cannot be saved.

Ye Tong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and sighed that the small triangular nail on the battlefield was too practical, too easy to use, low cost, and high efficiency. In this wave alone, thousands of Hun iron horsemen were injured by triangular nails. In the end, thousands of Huns on horseback died of self-slaughter, but they were actually trampled to death by war horses.

Dodging the triangular nails, ballistas, and catapults, the Huns' iron cavalry was within range of the archers, and was again relentlessly fired by the archers.

The continuous rain of arrows smashed into the body of the Hun iron cavalry, the Xiongnu iron cavalry was densely formed, and for the archers, the shooting hit rate rose sharply, and basically the arrows were not missing.

The archers used their strong bows to take the life of a famous Hun man, which was the most efficient kind of slaughter. The three-stage shooting method makes the sky basically have arrows flying.

Whoosh!

There were too many Hun iron cavalry, and no matter how high the hit rate of the archers was, they could not stop the pace of 50,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry. There were constantly Hun iron horsemen crashing into chariots, and those who did not hit the chariots were assassinated by spearmen.

This is a battle of life and death, whether it is the Huns or Ye Tong, they also cannot afford to fail, once they fail, it means the end of life.

Of course, the Huns have not yet felt the threat of death, and they feel that even if they can't fight, it's okay to run away! The Huns didn't know, Ye Tong designed a place for the Huns and a burial place. The prerequisite was that Ye Tong had to defeat 200,000 Hun iron horsemen on a frontal battlefield.
