Mo Huba, the leader of the Murong tribe, Yuwen Mona, the leader of the Yuwen tribe, Duan Ri Lujun, the leader of the Duan tribe, and Yan Rou, the leader of the Wuhuan tribe in Youzhou. Four men stood side by side in front of a hundred thousand cavalry.

Yes, the three major tribes of Xianbei in the east plus the cavalry of Wuhuan, and the warriors who have recently gathered the small and medium-sized tribes to defect. That's 100,000 people in total! 100,000 cavalry!

The people of these four tribes came to this river seven days ago. The more you wait, the more anxious you become, and the cattle and sheep have to eat tens of thousands of heads every day.

Yuwen Mona was angry and said: "What's the matter, the Han dog is really grinding, let's wait so long." ”

Duan Rilu touched his beard and smiled: "They said it would be seven days later, but it's not time yet." ”

Yan Rou didn't seem to be Han Chinese, and didn't react at all to the name of the Han dog, and continued to chat with Mo Huba. He said, "Leader Mo, has your clan arranged it?" Don't be copied by Gongsun Kang. ”

"Seven days ago, I had already arranged for them to be transferred to the Western Prairie." The treacherous and cunning Mo Hubao said, "Isn't this how the leader of Yan Rou is arranged? ”

"Each other," Yan Rou, who was dark-faced and burly, said with a smile.

These four big tribes, although they gathered all the tribal warriors here, fought a decisive battle with Gongsun Kang. But the back road of the tribe is also arranged.

The other two tribes have moved to the northern prairies.

Of course, they did not enter the western and northern grasslands, but only stayed at the border, waiting to join the tribal warriors.

If Xianbei wins, these tribes will move back; If that fails, the tribal warriors will scatter and flee, and finally join up again and enter the western savannah and the northern prairie together.

In the distance, smoke and dust rose from the sky. The patrols of the various tribes quickly returned: the Liaodong cavalry is coming!

Gongsun Kang brought 60,000 cavalry this time, and there were no infantry!

At the front of the line were hundreds of carts. Each car was topped by a large iron box several meters high, pulled by four horses.

This is the platoon ballista, Gongsun Kang used two days to transform it, and added two wheels to the ballista car. The wheels can be disassembled and installed at any time, and they should be taken down before firing to ensure the horizontal angle and stability of the ballista. Also avoid putting the reaction force of the shot on the wheels.

When marching, wheels were added, and four horse-drawn chariots were added, and the speed of running was no less than that of cavalry.

Guo Jia put down the binoculars in his hand and suggested: "There are still more than ten miles away from the Xianbei cavalry phalanx, we should stop marching and set up a battle formation." ”

Gongsun Kang was as good as a stream, and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop and set up a formation on the spot.

The core of this formation is these hundreds of platoon ballistas. I saw that they were lined up, divided into two rows, arranged in a rectangle, and interlaced with each other. The muzzles of the guns are all external. The length of coverage is one kilometer.

On either side of the platoon ballista were 5,000 heavy cavalry in heavy armor, standing under their horses and ready to mount their horses to protect the flanks of the platoon ballistae.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry stopped this time, and the Xianbei leaders were in a hurry.

After waiting for seven days, I finally waited for the Liaodong cavalry to come to fight. But they stopped more than 10 miles away, busy, not knowing what they were doing.

The leaders of the three major tribes looked at Yan Rou together, this guy who was known to be resourceful.

Yan Rou was not expected by the public, he sneered and said: "The soldiers of Liaodong are repairing, they pay attention to the art of war, and they are afraid that we will work at ease." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Yuwen Mona, who was anxious, hurriedly asked.

"Send 10,000 warriors to attack their formation first, so that they are too busy to set up a formation." Yan Rou suggested.

"Good! My warriors, go first! Yuwen Mona was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered: "Yuwen Evil, charge with your warriors." ”

Yu Wenxie, who had bald hair and sideburns, held a scimitar in his hand, and gently slashed his face, blood seeping out, making his scarred face even more hideous. The scar on his face is his medal, and before every big battle, he will give himself a knife, and the result: he is still alive, so the scar is a record of his bravery.

"Warriors! Rush with me! "Captain Yu Wenxie took the lead and rushed to the front.

In the eastern Xianbei phalanx, a group of cavalry immediately rushed out. It seems to be scattered, but in fact it is scattered, with some front and back, and some forwards rushing forward.

The distance of more than 10 miles looks very far away, and for the cavalry, it is not enough time to have a glass of wine to arrive.

The ballista phalanx in Liaodong had just arrived at the combat position, and the wheels had not yet been removed and had not been placed.

Looking at the Xianbei warriors who were prancing on their horses in the distance, Gongsun Kang calmly ordered: "Zhao Yun of the left army, Gao Lan of the right army." Sortie! ”

"No!" Zhao Yun and Gao Lanfei got on the horse.

The flag bearers waved the flag and waved the flag.

The left and right armies, each with 10,000 soldiers, under the leadership of the deputy general and the lieutenant, quickly reorganized the army and followed Zhao Yun and Gao Ran out of rank.

After the whole army came out of the Liaodong camp, Zhao Yunliang waved his silver spear: "Charge!" ”。

In front were 2,000 heavily armored soldiers, thick armor leaking only from the eyes. Holding a long Xiangyang iron knife, this is the forward of the charging formation. The 8,000 hussars in the back, dressed only in light leather armor. But they all carried crossbows.

The same is true for the Gao Lan side. The main generals are always changed, but the lieutenants and captains who lead the troops remain the same. Their tactics have been honed for years, and they don't need to be commanded by the commander to know what to do.

The horse teams on both sides, one after the other, attacked. Soon it was face-to-face. Zhao Yun and Gao Ran faced the Xianbei cavalry on the left and right.

When there were still 150 steps left, Yuwen Xie shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The Xianbei people are worthy of being a nation on horseback, and in the high-speed running of war horses, when most of the waist strength of the warriors is used to clamp the horses. They still had the strength to pull out their hard bows, tilt their heads at a 45-degree angle, and shoot an arrow.

Unfortunately, this arrow didn't do much.

The heavily armored cavalry in front of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry ignored it, and the arrows falling from the sky fell on their helmets and armor, splashing a few sparks at most, and they couldn't break the defense at all.

After the heavy cavalry passed, the arrows of the Xianbei cavalry had already fallen. The leather-armored soldiers in the back did not meet at all.

Yuwen Xie was about to continue to give the order to shoot, but the arrows of the Liaodong soldiers flew above their heads.

It turns out that the distance between the two sides has been shortened to within 100 paces, and the improved sixth-generation repeater can already throw more than 100 paces.

When Xianbei's arrow was about to fall, the lieutenant general of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry ordered: "Shoot!" ”。

"Dududu" mechanically powered repeater, which emits 10 crossbow arrows in a row. It is sent out at a 45-degree angle to the sky, and when it falls, it also carries the gravity of a crossbow arrow.

This is equivalent to the Xianbei people only shooting one wave of arrows, but the Liaodong Iron Cavalry shot 10 waves of arrows!

I saw patches of dark clouds covering the sky and the sun, and waves of arrows rained down, completely covering the Xianbei warrior team from beginning to end.

Bang bang, the Xianbei cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and this wave of arrows shot down more than 2,000 warriors.

Finally, the two sides began to collide.

The long knives of the Liaodong heavy armor soldiers, like water, easily cut into the bodies of the Xianbei warriors. Whether they are wearing iron armor or sheepskin jackets, they are all second-stage.

The war horse was not spared, and the Xiangyang iron knife swept past the horse's neck, and the huge horse's head landed with the upper half of the Xianbei soldier.

The scene was very terrifying, the horses and Xianbei warriors in the front row fell to the ground one after another, and when they fell to the ground, the half-cut warriors were not dead, and they could still cry for mercy and cry bitterly. Then the horse team behind began to rush up, trampled into meat puree.

After shooting a round of crossbow arrows, the light cavalry of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry had already hung up the crossbow arrows and took off the Xiangyang Iron Knife.

Their iron swords were two feet shorter than those of the heavier cavalrymen, but they were no less sharp. Because it is lighter, it is more flexible.

The heavy cavalry rushed through, leaving behind a lot of fish that slipped through the net.

The light cavalry put their swords across the heads of their heavily armored horses and began to plow the ground again.

The onslaught on both sides was brutal, but also quick.

After a charge, both sides continued to run out more than 1 mile before they could slow down and restrain their horses.

When they turned to face each other again, they looked at each other's remaining people.

In this charge, more than 5,000 Xianbei warriors died, plus more than 2,000 people who were killed by crossbow arrows before, a team of 10,000 people, and less than 2,000 people remained.

And the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the left and right armies, less than 2,000 people died, most of them were soldiers who were trampled on because of collisions and horses.

Yuwen Xie knew that there was no way to escape after the destruction, and he shouted tragically: "Our warriors of the Yuwen family, we must die standing and die!" Never surrender, charge! ”

The rest of the warriors, all veterans of the Yuwen tribe, shouted fiercely one by one: "Never surrender, charge!" ”。

They bravely took the initiative to rush to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry again.

Although Zhao Yun admires their courage and indomitable spirit, there is no compassion on the battlefield, either you die or I die! He coldly ordered: "Rush and kill!" ”

This time, Gao Ran did not rush to kill side by side with Zhao Yun. He let Zhao Yun lead the people to attack first, and then followed behind Zhao Yun's cavalry team to fill in the gaps.

Gao Ran is also a ruthless person, and his cooperation is obviously to kill all the Xianbei warriors!

In this way, with only two charges, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry killed Xianbei's 10,000-strong team cleanly, and there was not a single one left!

Yuwen Mona's old tears flowed down, and he shouted at Mo Huba, Duan Ri Lu, and Yan Rou: "Are you just watching our humble sons die and be injured? ”
