Chapter 62: The Chariot Array (Part 2)

He Lian quickly rushed through the three trenches and rushed to the gate of the wall, and with the addition of 60,000 royal court guards, the Han army finally abandoned the wall and withdrew to the camp, and retreated quickly.

I don't know when the cannons on the wall have been withdrawn, leaving only the corpses of the two armies and the wounded soldiers of the Xianbei people everywhere, and the wounded soldiers of the Han army were all taken away when they retreated.

The battlefield was suddenly much quieter, with no metal clash and no fighting, only the occasional groans of pain from the wounded soldiers.

He Lian came to Kebineng's side and patted Kebineng's shoulder heavily, "Patriarch Kebineng, this time, you have made a great contribution to my Daxianbei going south, that idiot at the head of the head, let him eat soil behind us, come, you and me, let's see what is left in the Han army camp?" ”

Kebi can accompany the smiling face, but his heart is dripping blood. In order to open the walled gate and capture the wall, he also paid 30,000 casualties, and with the fierce competition for the walled gate in the final stage, the proportion of casualties was almost one to one.

The remaining less than 20,000 people were also wounded, but fortunately he still had a hand and secretly brought 30,000 elites, otherwise, hum, and Lian this evil tiger would eat himself with the belt and bones. The rest of the Han army, let Helian have a headache, he always felt that Lu Bu did not appear, and it was unspeakably weird.

The camp of the Han army is really very large, and most of the 60,000 royal court guards have entered, and it still looks very empty.

He Lian and Kebi can enter the gate together, and there are pieces of camp tents within the field of vision, and he Lian ordered people to clean these camp tents to both sides, and the iron guards under his command tried to save trouble, and directly cut the rope to build the camp tent with a knife, and no one entered the camp tent to see what was inside.

As the camp tent was put down one after another, He Lian and Ke were finally able to see the front clearly, only to see that the camp tent was very wide, several miles in a radius, and behind the camp tent, the high platform in the center of the camp was seen in the distance.

However, between the high platform and the camp tent, there is a space of about six or seven miles, which may have been the school field of the Han army camp in the past, and the school field of the 100,000 people camp really needs to be large enough to fit.

The Han army retreated to the bottom of the high platform, and around the high platform there were many strange-shaped two-wheeled chariots, more than 100 of them. These chariots faced the direction of the Zhaimen and connected into a slightly arcing formation.

On the carriage of the chariot, there were many spears inlaid with a length of one zhang, and the sharp spears pierced outward, which was a bit like a horse rejection post.

And all the Han troops were hidden behind the chariot, and of course there were some people standing on the carriage of the chariot, and they actually put the cannons on the carriage, looking at the posture, they were ready to go.

The high platform was also full of people, condescending, and it was easy to look down on the entire camp.

He Lian's eyesight was good, and he could see at a glance Jia Xu, the military advisor of the Han army who had spoken to the leader in front of the battle, and there were several people dressed as strategists and generals beside him, pointing at him.

He Lian let all the royal court guards enter the walled gate, set up a formation, and stepped on the camp tents all over the ground, and he still had a sense of achievement.

The 60,000 Xianbei cavalry with bright armor and neat costumes were neatly arranged, and there was a breath of slaughter erupting from them.

He Lian took Ke Bineng and slowly stepped forward, stopping outside the range of the Han army's cannons, two hundred zhang away from the Han army. He shouted loudly: "Southern barbarian, my Xianbei Iron Cavalry has already broken through your camp, don't resist stubbornly." ”

"I am the big leader of Da Xianbei, and Lian, let General Lu Bu come out and surrender, I cherish him as a talent, if he is willing to submit to me, when we conquer the Central Plains, I can make him a king side by side."

On the high platform, Jia Xu shook the feather fan lightly and said to the left and right: "The big leader of the Xianbei people is quite educated, he speaks Chinese well, and he knows the word side by side." ”

Then Jia Xu ordered someone to pass the word for himself, "My general said, Xianbei and Dahan swear not to stand apart, let him surrender, that is wishful thinking, if you want to see him, let's break our position first." ”

Seeing that the Han army was resolute, he no longer talked nonsense, he called a 10,000 commander, "You bring 10,000 iron guards, attack first, and take a look, the patriarch of Kebineng can fill the trench for us, and capture the walled gate, you also have to use all your strength to break the Han people's car formation." ”

"Yes, big chief, my subordinates will do their best."

Captain Xianbei ordered his 10,000 royal court guards and came to the front of the formation.

The royal court guards of Helian were left by his father Tan Shi Huai, who followed Tan Shi Huai to fight in the south and the north, defeated the Huns, and also defeated the Han army, invincible on the grassland, and his heart was very high.

The royal guards were equipped with uniform standard armor, and their weapons were also uniform sabers or iron spears, and of course, each man had a pair of horned bows.

They were the earliest standing army established by the Xianbei people, trained by Tanshihuai, and the huge wealth plundered from the Huns was also used on them.

They are only loyal to the Golden Family, and they are usually treated the best, occupying the most fertile grassland pastures.

The width of the Han army's camp was limited, and the commander could only ride a thousand horses in a row, and lined up in ten rows. He didn't think there was anything terrible about the Han army's chariot formation, he could jump over it with a single leap of his horse, and he had a mysterious confidence in the combat effectiveness of the royal court guard.

After the procession was finished, he shouted to the 10,000 people under his command: "Immortal Heaven is above, warriors of the Golden Family, let the warriors of other tribes appreciate your strength again, charge!" After saying that, he led the army to rush to the chariot array.

The chariots were all in front of the formation, with detachable guards attached, heavy sandbags on the backs of the wheels, and hoes nailed into the ground.

Even the crossbowmen and longbowmen were ready, and their arrow boxes were neatly stacked in the open space behind them. Because of the chariot as a cover, the shield bearer became a crossbowman temporarily.

Gao Shun had also gone down to the bottom of the high platform and commanded with Xu Huang and others. Gao Shun saw that the equipment on these royal court guards who rushed up was far from being comparable to the cannon fodder before, so he ordered the longbowmen and crossbowmen to shoot the horses first and then the people in a while.

Because the goal of the horses is larger, and the guards are protected by armor, but the horses are not protected.

When the distance was one hundred and fifty zhang, the Lianzhu cannon began to shoot, and the power of the throwing gun was still huge, if the royal court iron guard wearing iron armor could not dodge, he would still pierce his heart, and the thin iron armor could not prevent the throwing gun at all.

At a distance of 100 zhang, the longbowmen joined the attack, and although the guards tried their best to dodge, the target of the horses was still very large, and from time to time there were scenes of people turning over on their backs, and the dense queues often caused a chain reaction.

At eighty zhang, the hard crossbows of the Youzhou army, the Bingzhou army and the Jizhou army also participated in the attack, they continued to follow Gao Shun's military order, giving priority to shooting horses, and the Xianbei cavalry in the first row soon fell a large piece, even if the cavalry did not directly hit the arrow, but there were many people who were crushed by the fallen war horses and broke their legs, or were trampled by the comrades who followed behind.

Some Xianbei people began to fight back with horned bows, but the arrows beyond the range could only be planted weakly in front of the Han army.

More of the royal court guards are lying on their horses tightly, shrinking their size, they will not be held back because of this casualty, the fame of the royal court guards is also fought one battle after another, what kind of corpse mountain and sea of blood, they have not seen.

At the age of sixty, the most impressive crossbow of the Xianbei people also joined the defense.

Fast, continuous, and dense crossbow arrows were fired. At such a close distance, even the armor on the guards could not stop the triangular arrows of the repeater, and the blood grooves on both sides made the blood flow quickly.

The Xianbei people's horned bows can finally fight back, but if you want to shoot an arrow, you must straighten your body, and you will become a target.

Moreover, the Han people are hiding behind the chariot, between the gaps between the cars, or in the carriage, and the whole body is under the cover of the carriage guard, and the target is much smaller than that of the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people still have to keep moving, and the accuracy of shooting in the movement is even lower, and it is often ten Xianbei people who are shot before they can shoot one Han army. And there will also be a rain of arrows above their heads, and there are many excellent marksmen of the Han army standing on that high platform, even the sharpshooters who are trapped in the camp.
