Chapter 63: Guardianship (3rd Update)

These excellent marksmen, whether they are holding a strong bow or a hard crossbow in their hands, can easily aim and take the life of a Xianbei person, and they can play as much as they want, without worrying about their own protection.

According to the traditional tactics of the nomads, when their cavalry rushed thirty or forty feet in front of the enemy's formation, they should move to both flanks and suppress the enemy with horned bows.

However, when the Xianbei people finally rushed to a distance of thirty or forty zhang under the rain of arrows and prepared to divide their troops into two ways, thousands of throwing spears flew out from behind the chariot of the Han army.

Although the traps were armed with a large number of new repeaters, their shield and spearmen still had their muskets, each carrying two spears behind them.

This distance is suitable for the use of the throwing gun, Xu Huang has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the dense queue of Xianbei people has achieved the penetration effect of the throwing gun. Hundreds of Xianbei cavalry were pierced with spears, and some even pierced a Xianbei person, and they would continue to do it again on the companions behind him.

And when the Xianbei people finally ran from the front of the Han army to the two wings, their silhouettes became a live target for the Han army's crossbowmen. Their horn bows could only barely shoot an arrow at the Han army, and when it was critical to escape, this accuracy was negligible.

In the end, there were less than 1,000 Wang Ting's iron guards who returned to Helian's main formation, many of them were still wounded, and everyone else stayed in front of the Han army, including the captain who led the charge, but if he came back alive, Helian would also kill him.

"Waste, stupid, whoever makes you detour, even death, must also knock the cart out of the way for me, without the chariot to stop them, they are lambs to the slaughter." He Lian scolded angrily. Turning to look at the cronies and generals behind him, he pointed at the two people with a horsewhip, "You two will bring another 20,000 people up, even if you collide, you have to knock the car out of the way for me." ”

"Yes!" The two captains didn't dare to talk nonsense, they knew that Helian was already on the verge of going berserk.

They laboriously lined up their men into a phalanx of 2,000 horsemen per row, and the Han army's chariot formation was only two or three miles wide, and they could not spread the formation too wide, but in this way, it was more densely populated than during the first attack.

It was getting late, but Helian had no intention of stopping the attack, and the Han army lit many torches and braziers, and the Xianbei people also lit many torches.

Of course, Ke Bineng will not stop Helian, he wishes that the more of Helian's royal court guards die, the better. While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he opened the placket of his chest, I don't know if he was excited to watch the war scenes, he felt a little hot.

In the night battle, the Xianbei people were ready, so they launched a charge again, and two thousand horsemen formed a dense front, almost horses next to horses, people to people.

The Han army still methodically repeated the previous tactical play, and in the face of a denser Xianbei formation, there was no need to aim at all, just put arrows into the pile.

The longbowmen of the Han army have been overloaded, their physical strength has been seriously overdrawn, and they can no longer hold their longbows, they exchange with crossbowmen, and even spearmen, anyway, the current longbows only need to shoot arrows, and it doesn't matter whether they shoot accurately or not.

The cost of arrows and throwing guns is very large, but the huge consumption also comes with countless kills.

Jia Xu on the high platform also frowned, the strength of the Xianbei people, the iron guards of the royal court who were not afraid of death, far exceeded the previous leaders and the warriors of the Kebi Neng Division, beyond Jia Xu's imagination.

He Lian's determination to sacrifice his elite and maintain the momentum of continuous attacks was also beyond his expectations. But fortunately, he still has a few back hands, and he has already used one back hand when the wall is lost.

Looking at it now, the Xianbei people are determined to collide with their chariot array, and there are still 30,000 royal court guards in Helian's hands, and they are not moving, it seems that a vicious battle is inevitable, and I am afraid that huge casualties are inevitable.

If the situation is critical, you can't think about how to achieve the maximum results, and you may need to call reinforcements in advance, hoping that Lu Bu's army can be in place in time.

Jia Xu looked at the second wave of the Xianbei people's offensive that had already crashed into the chariot formation, and said to Zhang Liao behind him: "Wenyuan, you go down and prepare, wait for my order, act according to the plan, General Zhang He, you also go down and prepare." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liao and Zhang He received the order and went down to the high platform to prepare.

At this time, under the high platform, the second wave of 20,000 Xianbei iron horsemen had already rushed through the interception of crossbow arrows and throwing guns, and slammed into the horse rejection chariot.

Helian had already given the order to die, and his men had no choice but to follow it. Years of conquest and training have formed their foolish loyalty and blind obedience to the Golden Family, and although they know that they will die, they do not hesitate and do not flinch.

The weight of a war horse is six or seven hundred catties, plus the weight of the rider and armor on the horse, nearly a thousand catties, such a heavy object accelerates and hits the chariot, of course, he will be penetrated by the spear on the chariot, and the rider will be crushed, but his impact will also make the reinforced chariot move a little.

But the problem is that not only one war horse did this, but one war horse after another crashed into it like a tide, like a storm crashing on the shore, and like a flood hitting a dam.

The Han soldiers on the chariot and the soldiers behind the chariot also had many broken bones and tendons that were hit, but there was no way to retreat behind them, just like the clerks shouted, behind them was their homeland.

If the Xianbei people enter their homeland, then their wives and children, their parents, and their sisters will end up like those tragedies in history, raped, slaughtered, destroyed, and plundered.

Therefore, for all these things they guard, they can't lose to the Xianbei dog, and they can't let a Xianbei person go over.

When a gap is opened, several Han infantry with spears will be blocked, and their spears will frantically move in and out of the corpses and horses of the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people also went crazy, they jumped straight from their horses and jumped into the chariots, most of them for various reasons, such as being too far away, too heavy armor, or an arrow in the air, landing on the ground or landing on the tip of the horse.

However, there were also a few Xianbei people with outstanding bounce jumped on the chariot and fought with the Han army.

He Lian saw that the second wave of 20,000 cavalry had already melee with the Han army, although they collided with the car formation, but the casualties were too great to expand the results of the battle, and at the same time, the casualties of the Han army were also rising sharply.

It seems that it is time for his final charge. And for some reason, he always felt hotter and hotter, a little restless, and waved his sword and ordered the last 30,000 royal court guards to also press up and attack.

He hoped that these 30,000 iron horsemen would be the last straw that overwhelmed the camel of the Han army, and only a few hundred personal guards were left around him.

But he didn't notice that Kebineng was quietly slipping backwards. It turned out that Kebineng had already noticed that the temperature was abnormal, and he quietly sent his men to check around.

Soon, some men reported that the temperature near the wall of the Han army was the highest, and the heat came down from the ground, and the wooden wall showed signs of burning, and I don't know what the Han army did.

If you don't retreat, once the fire burns, no one will be able to escape. It seems that this trip to the south has failed, and we have to plan early. So he sneaked back.

He didn't have the kindness to remind Helian that idiot, it would be better if the 60,000 royal court guards and Helian all died here. Although the combat effectiveness of the Iron Guard is a pity, but a disobedient army, don't do it.

Jia Xu had already seen Kebineng who had fled secretly on the high platform, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Kebineng slip away, but fortunately, as he analyzed, the Xianbei people calculated each other and were not united.

Moreover, the 30,000 iron guards of Helian have already joined the battle group, and the long-range strength of the Han army has been pinned down a lot by the Xianbei cavalry who rushed into the car formation in the second wave, and the blocking effect on the 30,000 Xianbei people who came later is not as good as before.

Soon, these 30,000 people also joined the ranks of the collision car formation, thanks to the fact that the front of the Han army's car formation was not wide, and the Xianbei people were more crowded by themselves.
