Chapter 138: Collecting the Body

(Today's class outing, and we had another dinner in the evening, so I can only update one chapter.) )

For cavalry, speed is life, and flat ground is the battlefield. Once the cavalry loses its speed advantage, it will only end up in the hands of the heavy infantry, and once the cavalry leaves the flat battlefield, there is no place for it, because the big horse legs do not want human legs, and they do not have such a strong adaptability to the road, and if the cavalry is allowed to charge on the mountain road, it is no different from letting them commit suicide.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Cheng's horse rejection array can have a surprising winning effect, and supplemented by a longbow, it has become a nightmare for the Wuhuan cavalry.

The mighty Wuhuan cavalry army began to rush to the Yangpo military camp of the Han army with an undying posture, and finally persisted for a quarter of an hour under the double blow of the Han army's rejection of horses and bows and arrows, leaving only more than 2,000 corpses.

In the first encounter, the Han army only suffered less than 20 casualties, but in exchange for 200 times the result, the result was still very exciting.

At this time, the Wuhuan cavalry, which had hurriedly retreated, was rearranging their formation under the order of the captain and centurion. Cha Mu mistakenly patted his horse and walked forward a hundred zhang, so as to observe Qin Cheng's rejection array.

After the Wuhuan cavalry, King Wuhuan could only see many Han soldiers running back and forth with wooden barrels, and he couldn't see what they were doing.

Cha Mu snorted coldly, and then pulled his horse back to the front of the military formation.

"Commander Wan, go and move the tents and planks of the military camp to this place and fill in the Han army's horse rejection array!" Cha Mu said with a sneer, and then sneered, "At that time, this king wants to see what else the Han army has to do to stop the iron hooves of my big Wuhuan cavalry!" ”

After that, King Wuhuan ordered another captain: "You take someone to clean up the battlefield in front of the rejecting horse formation, and clear the obstacles for the cavalry to charge later!" ”

"No!" The commander of the 10,000 men answered, and led a cavalry to clean up the corpses of the Wuhuan cavalry.

After repelling the first wave of attacks by the Wuhuan cavalry, the Han cavalry and infantry archers did not retreat, and Qin Cheng ordered the infantry to rest in place and the cavalry to stand by.

"This should be able to hold out until dark......" Liu Mu looked at the scene in front of him, as if he was talking to Qin Cheng and as if he was talking to himself.

"Of course." Qin Cheng smiled slightly.

"There is still something unknown to the subordinates." Seeing Qin Cheng's answer, Liu Mu hesitated for a moment, frowned, and finally said with a thoughtful look.

Qin Cheng glanced at Liu Mu and said with a smile: "Seeing you like this, I know that this matter has been bothering you for a long time, what is the problem, let's hear it." ”

"What benefits did the Huns give to King Wuhuan, so that King Wuhuan could agree to send troops this time, or even fight in person?" Yanagi said.

Qin Cheng pursed his lips and said lightly: "It is not difficult for the Huns to get King Wuhuan to send troops, it is nothing more than a strategy of radish and stick...... That is to say, the Huns promised enough benefits to make King Wuhuan's heart move, and then threatened King Wuhuan to do to his tribe if he did not send troops this time, and then told him that it was very easy to defeat our Han army, and it was not surprising that King Wuhuan agreed to send troops. As for why the Wuhuan King fought in person, in fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the Huns only need to send a heavy enough envoy to act with the Wuhuan army. ”

"Isn't King Wuhuan afraid of the retaliation of my Han army?" Yanagi asked, this was what he was most puzzled about.

"Sixty or seventy years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, has the Han army ever entered the grassland?" Qin Cheng said, "This is one of them, and the other is the second, I'm afraid that now the Huns have agreed with the Wuhuan people that as soon as the Han army enters the grassland to attack Wuhuan, the Huns' cavalry will cut off my back route to the Han army, and then surround our Han army and attack the Wuhuan army head to end...... You know, the grassland is their territory, and they are very familiar with the grassland, so they have the confidence to do that. ”

Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a solemn look, "If this is the case, the situation that the Han army will face when it goes out to the desert in the future will not be good!" ”

Qin Cheng sneered, "Probably now the Xiongnu Shan Yu also knows His Majesty's determination to use troops against the Huns, he is planning in advance, looking for allies, and isolating the Han." It's a pity that this war has nothing to do with the Wuhuan people, and now, the Wuhuan people are voluntarily involved, which is really ridiculous! ”

"The Huns are so ruthless!" Liu Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's nothing more than taking advantage of the situation, nine years ago, His Majesty sent Lord Zhang Qian out of the Western Regions, in order to unite the Dayue Clan to deal with the Xiongnu? Now the Huns have dragged King Wuhuan into the water, which is also taking advantage of the situation. Speaking of this, Qin Cheng paused, "However, if the Huns are just borrowing the Wuhuan power, it is not very tricky." If the Huns colluded with the kingdom within the Han Dynasty as they had done before by taking advantage of the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms of Shandong, things would be very troublesome. ”

Qin Cheng remembered the kingdom rebellion he had learned about on the screen in his previous life, and couldn't help but say so.

"It is unknown whether there are subordinates in the Han Dynasty who can borrow the power of the Xiongnu, but the subordinates know that Wei's Korea in the northeast has been restless all these years. If the Huns unite with Wei's Korea, I am afraid it will be very troublesome. Liu Mu said with a frown.

"Webster Korea?" When Qin Cheng heard this name, his heart jumped suddenly.

In his previous life, Qin Cheng didn't know much about the history of the Western Han Dynasty, and some of the only knowledge was limited to textbooks and silver screens. However, Qin Cheng knew that the reason why the Great Sui Dynasty fell after more than 30 years had a lot to do with Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goryeo, and that Goryeo seemed to be in the same position as the current Nawei Joseon. In other words, the Central Plains Dynasty did not seem to get along well with the regime on the Korean Peninsula. As far as the current situation is concerned, the course of history seems to have undergone some small changes due to the arrival of Qin Cheng, for example, according to the knowledge that Qin Cheng came into contact with in his previous life, Li Guang was not a marquis for life, but now Li Guang was sealed as a marquis of Guan Nei early. Although these changes are still very small, who can guarantee that there will not be major changes in history in the future?

At present, the Xiongnu have formed an alliance with Wuhuan to deal with the Han Dynasty together, so is it possible for the Xiongnu to form an alliance with Wei's Korea in the future?

The more Qin Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, if this was the case, then the situation that the Han Dynasty would face was probably much more complicated than the Western Han Dynasty that Qin Cheng had realized in his previous life.

"You've also heard of Webster Korea?" Liu Mu saw that Qin Cheng's face was a little solemn for a while, but he didn't speak, so he asked.

"I've just heard the name." Qin Cheng said perfunctorily, then looked at the Wuhuan army in front of him, and said: "Let's think about these things in the future, the most important thing now is to resist the second charge of the Wuhuan cavalry, otherwise you and I will have to explain our lives here, and it is useless to think about this." ”

"Hmm." Liu Mu nodded and looked at the Wuhuan cavalry in front of him, "The Wuhuan cavalry has come to clean up the battlefield." ”

Qin Cheng smiled wryly, "They are not here to clean up the battlefield, but to remove the obstacles to charge later." ”

After that, Qin Cheng pulled out his long knife, "Of course, they are also here to send them to death!"

Bow and arrow ready! ”

At that time, the cavalry was not equipped with cavalry shields, so these Wuhuan foot knights who tried to remove the corpses of the Wuhuan cavalry around the Han army's horse rejection array had to rush over at the risk of being shot by the Han archers. Of course, these Wuhuan cavalry were not stupid, when they rushed over to clear the passage, they took off their battle robes and connected them into a large piece on their heads, and by the thickness of the leather armor on the battle robes, they became another form of defensive shield.

Some of the Wuhuan sergeants wore their battle robes, while others dragged the corpses that fell around the horse rejection array under their robes, and their movements were also very fast.

"Shoot flat, shoot arrows!"

Qin Cheng looked at these Wuhuan cavalrymen with battle robes on their heads and ordered.

With Qin Cheng's order, more than 2,000 iron arrows came out together, and this time, these iron arrows did not fly high into the air, but shot directly at the Wuhuan Foot Knight who was moving around the Horse Rejection Array with a trajectory almost parallel to the ground.

Two thousand iron arrows were shot out in one go, and no matter how bad the luck was, many people would be shot, even if the Wuhuan people were covered by battle robes, it was inevitable that someone would be shot. The people who were shot screamed one after another, and the people who were not shot kept urging their companions who carried the corpses around them to speed up, and for a while, the surrounding area of the horse rejection array became lively again.

An iron arrow was shot at the robe worn by the Wuhuan cavalry, because this iron arrow was very powerful, half of the arrow body penetrated the thick robe, and directly inserted into the palm of a Wuhuan sergeant holding the robe, the Wuhuan sergeant howled miserably, and subconsciously used his other hand to hold the hand that was nailed together by the iron arrow and the robe, and as soon as he let go of one hand, the robe shield over there lowered a small horn, and at this time, an iron arrow happened to hit down from this horn and drilled into the head of another Wuhuan sergeant!

"Hold up the robe, don't deviate, resist!" The centurion shouted orders, shouted and shouted at the Wuhuan knight who was carrying the corpse under his robe: "Hurry up, you wait for the fuck to hurry up!" ”

"Cavalry projectile, infantry flat shot!"

Qin Cheng shouted.

The Han army's iron arrows were planted into the Wuhuan array in bursts, and every rain of arrows falling down always caused some killing, and those killed sergeants moved their bodies, and the robes and shields would fall off or fall to a corner, at this time, the Han army threw the iron arrows into the air, and when the iron arrows were planted again, they could cause some damage in those gaps!

I don't know how long it took, after paying the price of hundreds of Wuhuan soldiers being wounded or killed, the direction facing the Han army's military formation was finally cleared out of a passage as wide as dozens of battles.

"Wait for the retreat, the tent will come up!" Wan Fu roared.

With the order of the commander, the Wuhuan sergeant who cleared the passage withdrew, and at this time, thousands of Wuhuan cavalry rushed up with tents, planks and other objects, and threw the tents and planks and other objects to the horse rejection array before the horse rejection array!

When the Wuhuan cavalry was busy throwing tents, planks and other things and had no time to shoot arrows, Qin Cheng immediately greeted the infantry captain: "Fire oil, hurry!" ”

At this time, the hundreds of infantry soldiers who had not participated in the battle rushed out from behind the army formation with wooden barrels, rushed to the rear of the horse rejection formation that had been cleared out of a passage by the Wuhuan cavalry, and poured all the fire oil on the ground!
