Chapter 64 Hole Cards Out (Fourth Update)

There was always a fierce battle between the two sides with only a wide formation, and Jia Xu had already concentrated the Han army on the left, center and right, and the substitute Jizhou army and the reserve brigade had also been put into battle.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the trapped camp are very strong in combat and tenacious, and the clerks are constantly giving everyone Guli, and everyone knows that they can't retreat, so they are all very desperate.

Finally, He Lian found that the wall behind him had caught fire at some point, and the entire wall was burning, like a fire dragon, and he actually cut off his own back road.

Moreover, the ground under his feet was getting hotter and hotter, and there were a lot of fire-starters hidden in those tents, and now they were burning and spreading little by little, and He Lian could only lead his guards closer to the car formation.

Frustrated Zhu clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Strategist, Mr. Wenhe, you really deserve to be called a "poisoner", this fire attack technique, directly cut off the enemy's rear road, it is really clever, no wonder when the camp and the wall were built, you let people bring so much charcoal and coal. “

"There are also many fire-stirring things hidden in the tent, it seems that everything is in your calculations, and I am impressed and convinced."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Mr. Gong and Mr. are polite, this trick was not thought up by Jia Xu alone, this was first thought up by my father-in-law, and I just perfected it." Now I just hope that this fire attack technique can help us delay a little longer. ”

More and more chariots were knocked away, and more and more Wang Ting's iron guards broke through the chariot formation and entered the Han army. Jia Xu saw that the last moment had finally arrived, and sent an order to Gao Shun to carry out the final plan.

Gao Shun commanded the soldiers trapped in the camp to use crossbows to force back the Xianbei people who rushed to the front, and responded to the retreat of the Han army in battle. Xu Huang, Fang Yue and others in the battle issued orders to their subordinates to retreat.

Most of the Han troops managed to disengage from the Xianbei and retreated in great strides, but there were also a few Han troops who fought with the enemy and could not separate each other.

Gao Shun saw that most of the people had already retreated, and he couldn't care about the few people, so he gave an order in a loud voice, "Remove the planks!" ”

At the sound of an order, a group of Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, all of them were wrestlers with big shoulders and round waists, grabbed the iron chains on the ground and pulled them back vigorously.

It turned out that the other end of the chain was tied to a lot of heavy wooden planks that covered the ground. With the pull of the iron chain, the plank slid towards the Han army's formation, revealing a deep trench under the plank, and the Han army actually dug the widest and deepest trench in their own camp, behind the chariot array.

With the appearance of new trenches, the Han army also retreated to the bottom of the high platform, and the last time they lined up, this trench was Jia Xu's last reliance. It is also the last defensive measure of the Han army camp.

At this time, compared with the beginning of the war, the Han army suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the remaining armies plus the soldiers in the trapped camp were about 30,000.

Now, they hope that this trench will buy them more time to rest, and Jia Xu is also counting on this trench to help him delay his time until dawn.

He Lian saw this trench that suddenly appeared, so he couldn't spit blood, the previous three trenches were all filled by Kuitou and Kebi with human lives and negative soil filling ditches, where do you go to get soil to fill now?

"Kebi Neng, what can you do?" At this time, He Lian remembered Ke Bineng, looked around, how could there be a trace?" Damn traitor, wait for me to go back and clean you up. ”

While ordering his soldiers to take soil with weapons, wrap them in clothes, and throw them into the ditch, he pushed the corpses of the Han army, the corpses of the Xianbei people, and the corpses of the war horses into the ditch, and the wounded of the Han army who had no breath were pushed into the ditch regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

So far, there are less than 40,000 royal court guards left in Helian, and he sent out arrows to let the armies of the Xianbei tribes go out together, but I am afraid that they will not be able to enter until the fire is extinguished.

Finally, when the sky was already dark, a passage ten zhang wide was filled in the trench, but for some reason, the fire behind it had not yet been extinguished or weakened.

The Han army on this side of the trench had been waiting for a long time, and there was no chariot formation, and the first row finally stood on the familiar shield soldiers, and behind them were spearmen, and the longbowmen and crossbowmen who did not have crossbows also took spears or ring-headed knives.

Finally, the war returned to the familiar pattern, and the traditional cavalry attacked the traditional infantry phalanx, especially the bow and crossbow of this infantry phalanx was insufficient, either without the power of the bow or shooting all the arrows.

He Lian could no longer wait for the whole army to pass through the trench, so he ordered the 20,000 cavalry already in formation to attack first. This time, the Xianbei cavalry's attack was unusually smooth, and only encountered a small number of crossbows and spears to intercept them.

They separated left and right in front of the Han army's formation, and fired at the Han army's formation with horned bows, and the Han army relied on shields to resist, because there were not enough bows and crossbows to counterattack, and the war strangely became a situation in which the Han army was passively beaten and the Xianbei cavalry took the initiative.

Jia Xu waited until this time, and finally made up his mind to use the last hole card.

At the sound of the horn, from behind the left flank of the Han army, a group of cavalry slowly appeared, and in the front were twenty chariots, the chariots were the same as the chariots that used as cover in the previous chariot formation, and the carriages on both sides were full of spears, and the tips of the spears were outward.

Each chariot was ridden by two horses, covered with iron armor from head to tail, and each chariot was topped by two samurai in helmets. These tanks were five in a platoon, in four rows.

There were five hundred cavalry behind the chariot, but these five hundred cavalrymen, from men to horses, were covered with iron armor, and their horses were obviously taller than ordinary war horses.

The helmets of all the heavily armored cavalry were a wolf's head, and the face shield was put down to create a bloody mouth.

These five hundred knights and twenty chariots were like wolves summoned from hell, and their whole bodies were black and chilling.

They appeared at the right and left time after the Xianbei cavalry had charged, which meant that they only had to face half of the enemy.

There was a solitary horseman, slowly stepping out of the formation of these heavily armored cavalry and chariots, a general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, a white cloak, and a tall red horse at his crotch, who pulled down the same wolf's head to protect his face.

I couldn't see his appearance, but he also held a long horse lance in his hand, plus a red horse, silver armor, and Lian blurted out when he saw it: "Lu Bu, he is the "Flying General" Lu Bu? He has been able to endure until now. ”

I saw that "Lu Bu", raising the horse lance in his hand, and then slammed forward. Twenty chariots and five hundred heavily armored knights began to accelerate forward.

"Lu Bu" gave way to the chariot and went hand in hand with the heavily armored cavalry. "Lu Bu" and these steel monsters just swept past in front of the Han army. Everywhere they passed, the soldiers of the Han army, especially the soldiers who were trapped in the camp, took the lead in shouting "Lu Bu is mighty!" "The Han army is mighty!" The slogans were louder and louder.

The Xianbei iron cavalry, which was rushing towards the left flank of the Han army, happened to meet these heavy cavalry and chariots of the Han army head-on.

In the face of these rumbling steel monsters, the Xianbei people were a little helpless, and they had the courage to shoot with the horned bows in their hands, but the bows and arrows were shot on the bodies of people and horses, and they were bounced off by the iron armor, and they could not penetrate at all.

Only bite the bullet, raise your saber or iron spear, and face it head-on. However, the Han army chariot collided directly, and before it came into contact, the chariot first shot crossbow arrows, and when it really collided together, the weight of the chariot was much greater than that of the Xianbei people's war horses, not to mention that the pack horse of the Han army pulling the chariot was also wearing iron armor and weighed more.

If it is swept by the chariot, the sharp spear can even directly divide the man and the horse in half, and the Han army armor on the chariot uses a halberd when fighting in close combat, and there is no enemy at all.

After the chariot, there was "Lu Bu" and five hundred heavily armored knights, these five hundred horsemen were not only full body armor, but also heavy weapons in their hands, all of which were horse lances.

First, a crossbow was used in the distance, and then a horse lance was used in close quarters, and these heavily armored knights were all powerful and infinitely powerful, and the fifty pound horse lance was also wielded with a tiger and a tiger.
