Chapter Seventy-Two: Fierce Confrontation, Frustrate the Enemy's Spirit!
"Born of heaven and earth, placed by the sun and the moon, the desert is arrogant, only I am the Huns! --Whining! ”
……………………
The horns continued, shouting to kill the heavens, the attack of the Huns began, Liu Bao's 60,000 horses on the left, Uwei's 40,000 horses on the right, wielding spears and short knives, swooping down from the high slopes, and heading straight for the Han army's big array, like two fierce wolves, pounced on the expected prey!
At the same time, the gate of Mayi City opened, and Gao Gan led 20,000 remnants to shout and kill out, this shameless dog with a broken spine, seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, also wanted to get a piece of the pie, but no, the fierce general-Xia Zhao did not fight, I don't know whether to stay and defend the city, or unwilling to join forces with foreign races to deal with his compatriots!
The three-way army, marching hand in hand, the flag is like a sea, the people and horses are like a tide, covering the entire land, Liu Bao's tactics are: use the advantage of double troops, head-on to break the Han army's large array, and then use cavalry to intersperse and divide, eat the enemy one bite at a time, it is best to capture Xiao Yi alive, a thousand knives, revenge!
"Defend the family and defend the country, the Han will win, the blood of Yan Huang will last forever - roar! Roar! ”
In the face of the surging enemy army, Xiao Yi stood proudly in front of the formation, his face did not change, he held high the gilt gold boring of phoenix wings with one hand, pointed obliquely at the sky above his head, clenched his fist with the other hand, slammed his chest, let out an angry roar, and boosted the morale of the whole army!
The same is true of 60,000 soldiers, holding the blade with one hand, smashing the chest with a fist with the other, roaring angrily, like thunder, and even overpowering the sound of war drums, this is the cry of iron-blooded soldiers, this is the voice of a nation - shock the soul and destroy the enemy's heart!
The 20,000 soldiers of the high cadres are also of Han blood, because the situation is compelling, this is on the opposite side, they have no good impression of the Huns, and they don't want to be traitors.
Some people slowed down, some people stood still, and some people went backwards, and the originally neat array immediately became a mess, and no matter how the senior cadres shouted, it was to no avail, and between the left and right wings, there was also a huge gap!
Besides, the tribe of Youxiao Wang, the core is the people surnamed Li, although they have lived in the grassland for a long time, they have always missed their homeland, and they also have feelings for the Han Dynasty, and they don't want to be enemies of their homeland, but they are afraid of Uwei's iron fist, so they are in battle!
Hearing the shouts of the Han army, some people hung down their swords and guns, some people broke the clusters of arrows, and some people looked around, ready to turn around and flee at any time.
"Waving the flag, beating the drums of war, marching together, breaking through the Han army, there are those who shake the morale of the army and retreat from the battle - there is no forgiveness for killing!"
In the face of the Han army's psychological warfare, Liu Bao's anger jumped like thunder, frequently beating the war drums, trying to boost morale, but unfortunately it had no effect, and even his own headquarters began to be war-weary......
Between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, they have fought for hundreds of years, and they have been integrated for hundreds of years, cultures and customs have been exchanged with each other, and personnel are constantly being exchanged, such as a special force in the Han Dynasty - 'Changshui Huqi', which is composed of surrendered Huns, as well as famous ministers of the Western Han Dynasty: Jin Riyan, Zhao Ponu, Wang Yuanzi, Yu Dan...... All of them are Xiongnu generals, who have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, and some people have become ministers who take care of their lives!
Similarly, there were many military generals in the Han Dynasty who defected to the Xiongnu, such as Han Wang-Xin, Yanwang-Lu Xuan, Li Ling, Li Guangli...... A large number of heroic people, for various reasons, all defected to the Xiongnu tribe, married wives and children, reproduced offspring, and took root in the grassland!
These people are outstanding, and their children and grandchildren are also mixed well, or they are a king, or they are in high positions, some people have slowly become a member of the Huns, and some people have kept in mind the fundamentals, and still regard themselves as the descendants of the Han family......
"Xuanjia Iron Rider - invincible in the world!"
"Xuanjia Iron Rider - invincible in the world!"
………………
Taking advantage of the unstable hearts of the Huns and the chaos of the formation, Xiao Yi led 30,000 iron cavalry and shouted out of the big formation, Ma Liu and Da Niu led the rest of the soldiers, put out a defensive formation, and continued to hold the mountain pass!
Xuanjia iron cavalry 30,000, Hun army 120,000, if a comprehensive impact, a Han army has to face four enemies, inevitably outnumbered, Xiao Yi is as fierce as a wolf, cunning as a fox, naturally will not suffer, he concentrated all the cavalry, straight to the weak link of the Huns!
The enemy's three divisions of men and horses, Liu Bao is the strongest, Uwei is the second, and Gao Gan is the weakest, and the attack direction of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is the combination of the remnants of the Yuan army and the right colonel Wang's department......
"Kill! --Kill! Kill! ”
"Long! --Prosperous! Prosperous! ”
Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the world's elite, Jin Ge Iron Horse, unstoppable, like a sharp arrow cluster, shot into the enemy's weak link, where the iron cavalry went, the head was rolling, the blood was gushing, and the enemy was killed and wounded countless times!
Yuan Jun was originally a frightened bird, who was willing to fight desperately, he immediately threw away his armor and abandoned his sword, turned his head and fled, Gao Gan pulled out his sword, and even beheaded several soldiers, but it was to no avail, but he retreated under duress!
Although the right colonel Wang-Uwei is brave, his subordinates can't help, especially the people surnamed Li, they don't want to fight with the Han army, go further, take two steps back, grind, it's really hard to force it, just shoot a few headless arrows, and half of the combat power can't be played!
The Xuanjia iron cavalry was unstoppable, and soon broke through the defense line, and then divided into two, Dian Wei led thousands of horsemen, straight to the gate of Mayi, if the attack went well, seize this fortress, cut off the retreat of the Huns, even if the attack did not go well, it could force an enemy army to come back!
Xiao Yi commanded the main force, turned the horse's head, re-lined the formation, rushed to the rear of Uwei, and after defeating this enemy, he concentrated all his forces and fought to the death with Liu Bao......
"The warriors of the Huns - the immortal sky on their heads, stepping on the prairie, the enemy of life and death in front, the sharp scimitar in their hands, making meritorious achievements, fighting here - rush!"
A full 120,000 horses, so that 30,000 Han troops rushed into disarray, and the back road was also threatened.
The left flank of 60,000 horses, is the main force of the Xiongnu, also divided into two, the king of Likhan, the king of Xiu Xun led 10,000 cavalry, went to intercept Dian Wei, to ensure that the fortress of Mayi is safe, Liu Bao with 50,000 main force, did not go to the rescue of Uwei, but ran to the mountain pass, trying to cut off the back road of the Han army!
"Long! --Prosperous! Prosperous! ”
50,000 elite Huns, 10,000 horses galloping, unstoppable, since ancient times, the cavalry has restrained the infantry, even if it is an enemy of ten, it will not fall behind, not to mention 50,000 against 30,000, the Huns have an advantage, and then they can't win the Han army, then there is no reason!
Looking at the soldiers of the Han army, there was no fear at all, but calmly set up the formation, launched hundreds of chariots, densely packed, just to block the mountain pass, and then pulled down the camouflage, revealing the true face......
This is a strange chariot, a hardwood board on the front, one zhang five feet high, one zhang and two feet wide, four and a half feet thick, surrounded by pig iron edges, copper nails inlayed, in the middle is a horizontal nine vertical nine, eighty-one handle steel knife, the blade is inlaid into the wooden board, revealing a three-foot knife tip, hundreds of cars are connected together, it is a knife mountain!
There are four wooden wheels on both sides, two curved wheels behind, two thick wooden pillars, a total weight of seven or eight hundred catties, usually pulled by war horses, pushed by soldiers in wartime, flexible and flexible, change at will, it is Xiao Yi designed to deal with the killing weapon of the Hun cavalry, it is called 'knife and mountain car!' ’
"It's a big deal, there's a knife mountain ahead, hurry up and stop the attack!"
"The speed of the rush is too fast, I can't stop at all, and I can't turn around!"
……………………
After seeing the knife and mountain car, the Huns were full of courage and wanted to stop the attack, but unfortunately it was too late, the speed of the cavalry was fast, but it was also difficult to turn around, the terrain of the mountain pass was narrow, and 50,000 iron horsemen gathered together, and they could not turn at all, so they could only crash into it......
The flesh and blood collided with the steel knife, the consequences can be imagined, the flesh and blood are blurred, the limbs are broken, the situation is miserable, what is even more depressing is that the front team of cavalry is blocked, the rear team is still rushing, the people and horses are getting denser and denser, trampling on each other, chaotic, many Hun soldiers fell off the horse, let their people trample into meat paste!
"Roar! --Roar! Roar! ”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Han army dodged a hole, and five thousand Mo sword soldiers came out, wearing heavy armor, holding a long knife, three steps and a wave, the people and horses were broken, and the Huns who only killed cried and shouted Mom, and their souls were scattered, and the tide retreated!
"Warriors of all tribes of the grassland, quickly regroup in formation, whoever dares to take a step back, I will be beheaded on the spot, and my family will be reduced to slaves!"
The first attack failed, and many horses were damaged, Liu Bao did not give up, he personally waved the Daxu flag, reorganized the men and horses, and prepared for the second attack, as long as he occupied the mountain pass, he could cut off Xiao Yi's way back, and then with the superior strength, even if the people stepped on the horses, they would also annihilate the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry!
Although the idea is good, it is a pity that the fighter has been lost, when Liu Bao rectified the people, the sound of shouting and killing sounded in the back, it turned out that Xiao Yi led the Xuanjia Army, broke through the obstruction of the right colonel Wangbu, and returned to the Han army to reinforce the main formation......
At this point, the two sides are mixed together, you have me, I have you, there is no tactics at all, all by instinct to fight, the Han army is well-equipped and well-trained, the Huns are many and fierce, they are not afraid of death, they are equal, and no one can help anyone!
The two sides fought from the morning until dusk, the corpses were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, it was still difficult to solve, seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, Xiao Yi decisively Mingjin closed the team, the infantry was in front, the cavalry pressed back, and slowly retreated to the camp!
Liu Bao wanted to chase and kill the past, but his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and the rest were also exhausted, so they had to retreat to the base camp, recuperate from battle wounds, and review the loss!
In this battle, the Han army lost 5,000 casualties, more than 10,000 wounded, and the Huns lost more than 10,000 casualties...... Next, Xiao Yat began the second step of the plan!
