Chapter 20: The Pit Man

"Master Hou, they seem to be stalling for time and waiting for the arrival of the team."

Dai Yu looked at the Huns opposite, neither rushing over nor retreating. immediately understood their intentions, and hurriedly reminded Yun Xiao.

"Yes, we can still deal with 3,000 cavalry. Thirty thousand cavalry will entail us like a flood, and order the sword-and-shield-bearer and halberd men to get into the wagon. ”

Yun Xiao also saw through Rukali's intentions, they wanted to drag themselves here. Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, at that time, even if Yun Xiao digs all the holes around him, it is useless. As long as there are 10,000 cavalry, their own troops will be like a dam made of sand, and they will be washed away in an instant. We must evacuate before the other party's brigade arrives, or this life will end here. Fortunately, the motorcade arrived in time. Otherwise, the legs will not be able to catch up with the four legs in any case these two days.

Many Hun horses tried to stand up, but they all failed. The legs of the horses hung weakly, and Yun Xiao found that they seemed to be broken legs. There is nothing to clean on the battlefield, it's all lame horses that are useless.

The soldiers of Longyou are all vying to cut off the head, and many people are still fighting to grab the head. But finally on the battlefield, there was no chaos.

"Let them rob it, and when you go back, you really have to teach this group of Zilong right soldiers a good lesson. Otherwise, the next time I encounter such a situation, Lao Tzu will be killed by these guys. ”

The shieldmen and spearmen finally got the order to retreat, and the guys ran into the car like crazy. Yun Xiao looked at the chaotic Longyou soldiers, and he was really heartbroken. Perhaps the Han Chinese are not a fighting race by nature. If I hadn't had this method today. Maybe now these guys have already been hunted down by the Huns, and it is a joke to expect these guys to fight.

It's really hard enough for Li Guangcheng from time to time, with a group of such guys, he actually stood up on the Eastern Front for two months. Yun Xiao thought that if he was replaced by himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it for two days.

To fight a war, we still have to rely on professional soldiers, and professional things must be done by professional people.

He glanced back at the eight hundred villagers under his command, standing on the carriage like nails. The iron-tire crossbow in his hand was wound, and his eyes stared at the Hun cavalry on the opposite side without blinking.

This is a soldier, a soldier who can fight. Zhang 13 has recruited the second batch of Xiangyong in Jiangnan, and these people will retire and go home except for some backbones. It seems that the wasteland is going to be cleared again, otherwise this land is really not enough.

"Captain of a thousand horses. They're going to run. ”

A hundred cavalry commanders pointed with his hand to the Han army opposite. Rukali put up a pergola and watched. Although the wind and snow obstructed his vision, he could see clearly the Han army that was retreating in a hurry.

"Damn, split into two teams, left and right. Once they get in the car and run away, we'll chase after them. Non-stop harassment. They must not be allowed to retreat calmly into the Great Wall. ”

Rukari understood. Each additional defender on the Great Wall meant the loss of several more Huns in a siege. These Han Chinese only dared to hide behind the high wall and roar at the Huns. If there were no long walls. I'm afraid that the land of the Han family has been acquired by the Huns, and those damned Han people have become slaves of the Huns.

This wave of nearly 10,000 Han troops must not be allowed to withdraw to the Great Wall, otherwise the difficulty of breaking through the Great Wall will increase exponentially.

Yun Xiao saw the Huns divide their forces and move towards the two wings. and they know what they are going to do. No matter how fast the carriage runs, it can't be as fast as the horse. These Huns thought that as long as they kept attacking on both flanks, they could torture their army to collapse. The Hun generals on the other side are really forgetful, have they forgotten how those condor shooters died?

"Long's right crossbowman is on the left wing, and our countryman's village is on the right wing. As long as the Huns approached, they waited for them with bows and crossbows, and they didn't believe it, and you won't get tired after two days of continuous travel. ”

Sure enough, as Yun Xiao expected, Rukari thought wonderfully. However, his subordinates and horses were already overwhelmed, and the continuous running for three consecutive days had severely consumed the bodies of men and horses. Moreover, they hadn't eaten since early morning. Both men and horses were already extremely hungry and thirsty, and many began to sweat profusely, and horses also lost their strength.

The chase began in a state of scorching, with arrows from both sides constantly flying in the air. The Huns on the left took advantage of a lot, and the crossbowmen on the right were numerous. But the quasi-head really didn't dare to compliment, and often a handful of arrows rained down and couldn't shoot a few Huns.

On the other hand, the Huns were able to open their bows and arrows with ease. These guys also use the momentum of the horse to shoot arrows farther. Their aim is extremely high, especially those who are almost impossible to shoot. It's just that the number is too small to suppress all the crossbowmen.

However, in the right-wing Yun hometown Yong, the Huns could not take advantage of it. The wire crossbow string and the iron arm form a powerful mechanical force, and the crossbow arrows fired are fast and steady. The Huns have learned the power of the iron-tired crossbow, and almost every time the Yun family's wire crossbow string emits a unique whining sound. A Hun knight will fall from his horse.

The Hun cavalry, which was harassing the right flank, suffered heavy losses and had to stop the attack. I can only hang from a distance and follow the convoy.

When there were still twenty miles from the Great Wall, the Huns' horsepower and manpower had reached their limit. There have been cases where horses can't hold on, and suddenly the horses lose their hooves in the middle of high-speed running, and people and horses die.

Reluctantly, Rukari ordered the pursuit to be stopped, and the left flank lost only a few soldiers and horses. However, the losses on the right flank were very large, and no less than 300 people were shot by the Yun family's Xiangyong with an iron-tire crossbow along the way.

The snow was even bigger, and the deep ruts were buried by the snow in a few moments. Rukari looked at the departed convoy and was speechless.

This time the shame is considered to be lost home, and the inside is all lost. The cousin was killed in battle, and more than half of his cavalry were lost. I really don't know how to explain to Da Shan Yu when I go back. He couldn't figure out why the Hun cavalry who were about to rush into the army fell and fell off their horses.

After resting for a while, he dragged back with the remnants of his soldiers. Back at the place where he had just fought, the heavy snow had covered the corpse. Only some of the horses that weren't dead were still panting hard. White mist spewed out of their mouths, like fountains on the ground.

Everyone got off their horses and began to search for the bodies of their loved ones. These Hun cavalry all came from the Xiongnu headquarters, and several large tribes married each other. Therefore, these Huns are a bit related to each other.

Rukari is also looking for the body of his cousin, Nacha, the eldest son of the younger uncle. Since he was a child, he was skilled in bowing horses, and at the age of twenty-one, he was named a hundred horsemen. What a great honor it was to be stationed in Seoul as an officer assigned by Da Shan Yu as a surveillance. But no one thought that he would be inexplicably killed by the Han army in such a battle.

All the corpses were decapitated, and these were all proof of military merit. If you can't grab it, how can you let it go lightly.

The Hun cavalry could only identify the corpses by the tokens on their bodies, some of them found and some of them did not. Rukari looked around and suddenly his feet slipped, and he felt a leg sink deep into the ground. He felt very strange, and the Huns around him also exclaimed. Because they were in the same situation, Rukari pulled his foot out. Take a closer look at the hole about a foot deep beneath your feet.

The edges of the cave are very smooth, and there are traces of excavation on the four walls. This thing is clearly not naturally formed, but artificially excavated. The soil was still fresh when he peeled through the snow, and Rukari was even more sure of his guess.

Suddenly, Rukari realized that this was the reason why Nacha and they fell. A horse running at high speed, if the hooves step on a hole in the ground. At such a high speed, there is no time to pull the hooves out, and inertia will ruthlessly break their legs, and the ground will freeze so hard in winter. If the knight who falls from his horse does not fall to his death, even if his life is great, where is he still capable of fighting.

Such a cunning Han general actually thought of such a bad idea. Under the cover of heavy snow, this kind of hole is difficult to detect at all. This was a nightmare for the cavalry, who almost defeated their cousin and a thousand cavalry by digging a pit.

This is really a fucking pit man. (To be continued......)
