12. Pacification in southern Hebei
……
"Outflank them from the flanks and disrupt their formation!"
He Dansheng, who was approaching from the flank, saw that there were no heavy troops on both sides, only more than a thousand crossbowmen guarding one side, and immediately ordered his cavalry to rush over, even if he was cautious, he would never believe that a thousand crossbowmen would be able to withstand his iron cavalry charge.
"Put!"
Seeing that He Dansheng's cavalry was approaching, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Fengya Battalion armed with crossbows detained the crossbow machine under the roar of their respective armor commanders.
"Puff ......"
The power of the crossbow is ruthless, far, and accurate, especially in this kind of plain terrain, it bursts out with unprecedented power. But when he heard the sound of a crossbow entering his body and penetrating the bone blades, more than 200 Hulan cavalry fell down when he was a hundred paces away, accompanied by a loud sound of the war horse falling to the ground, leaving a mournful sound.
"Such a terrible arrow, it can pierce armor at such a distance...... This ......"
If He Dansheng, who was in the rear, hadn't witnessed the scene in front of him with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that this would have happened.
However, when he saw that the crossbowmen on the opposite side had stopped moving after firing an arrow, he immediately understood that the bow and arrow were similar to the octagonal crossbow, and it took time to reload, so he suddenly relented, and urged the cavalry to pass quickly, as long as they came to them, these crossbowmen were at their own mercy.
"Change formation!"
After a volley, the crossbowmen suddenly changed their formation under the order of the commander. I saw that more than 300 of them were divided into three formations, and then they began to load up the arrows in an orderly manner, and a cruel smile appeared on their faces, which made people shudder.
……
"Huhuhu......"
On the frontal battlefield, when He Danqiu, who fell into the trap, was about to be pierced through his face by the rejection gun, the survival instinct made him miraculously slam into a sideways position in mid-air, and almost brushed his face with the rejection gun to avoid the death blow. Escaping from death, he kept panting.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Phew~"
There were constantly cavalrymen who could not control the speed of their horses and fell into the pit, and many of them were not so lucky, and they were pierced through the body by the horns in the pit, bringing out the internal organs. He Danqiu looked around, and there were intestines, brain guts, and a shocking red, mixed with horse manure into an extremely disgusting smell.
"Gotta get out of here!"
Resisting the urge to vomit, He Danqiu quickly got up, and if he stayed here, he was afraid that he would not be disgusted to death by these smells, and he would be stoned to death by the cavalry who fell in the sky.
When he stepped on the corpses under his command and crawled out of the pit, he suddenly heard a shout from outside the pit, and the next moment hundreds of spears stabbed into the pit.
"Ah......h
A scream echoed through the pit again, until it floated into the sky and resounded through the wilderness. The Hulan soldiers who were climbing were suddenly pierced into several holes gushing blood......
"Ah......h
Seeing a spear stabbing at him, He Danqiu hurriedly dodged away, but unfortunately the palm of his left hand was pierced alive by a triangular pyramid because it was half a beat slower, and the blood flowed, and the cold white bones of Nei Zhongsen were clearly visible. He screamed and fell back into the pit, and fell on the corpse of a war horse, his face full of pain.
Looking at the blue sky, he saw patches of black and oppressive locusts from time to time, whistling towards the back of his head, and all that could be heard around him was the earth-shattering killing sound and the terrible wail intertwined into a death music......
"What the hell is going on? Why is this happening?"
Just when He Danqiu's thoughts were drifting away, a black cloud suddenly appeared in front of him, pressing towards him, and when he wanted to turn around and avoid, he was still a step late, the "black cloud" completely covered his entire face, only to hear a light explosion, his legs twitched a few times and then there was no movement, and the whole head was crushed alive by the war horse that fell into the pit.
"Kill!"
The Hulan cavalry, who did not know that their master was dead, was still charging without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and when they finally stepped on the horse pit with the corpse, they were "cared for" by the front and the horse nail, but after seeing the stinging pain of the horse's hooves, they threw the Hulan people on horseback to the opposite spear array, and the cold spears were full of crimson blood......
A Hulan man who was lucky not to be pierced by a spear fell heavily to the ground, but the next moment countless boots with iron nails on the soles of his feet stepped over him, and before he could scream, he had become a bloody man, and his death was extremely terrifying, as if he regretted being born in this world......
"Thorn!"
With the first few orders, rows of spearmen ruthlessly pierced the spears in their hands into the Hulan people, who no longer had the slightest advantage in riding speed. The cavalry, having lost the advantage of horse speed, faced the spear infantry, and the end was already doomed......
……
"Pop ......"
"Sigh the law ......"
"Phew~"
On the flank battlefield, when the galloping Hulan cavalry rushed into a distance of fifty paces, they suddenly felt that their mounts sank and slowly sank......
"Not good! How could I forget this! Now it's happening! No wonder......"
He Dansheng, who saw this scene in the distance, was suddenly shocked, and his face was terrified, because his cavalry fell into the most difficult terrain, the swamp!
I saw that the cavalry stuck in the quagmire kept pulling the reins of the horses and tried to pull the horses out of the swamp, but this was not something that one or two people could do at all......
"Shoot!"
Seeing that He Dansheng's troops were stuck in the swamp quagmire and could not extricate themselves, how could the soldiers of the Fengya battalion on the opposite side miss this opportunity to "shoot live targets", they showed their terrible fangs one after another, and aimed at the struggling Hulan people one by one, and with an order, they detained the crossbow machine.
"Puff puff ......"
The Hulan cavalry, unable to move in the mires of their horses, could only watch as the terrible crossbow arrows pierced into their bodies, accompanied by severe pain, their entire faces distorted and deformed, and finally fell into the swamp and fell into darkness......
"Keep shooting, hahaha, shoot them!"
The three columns of formations continuously shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, knocking over the cavalry in the swamp one by one, and the rear formation He Dansheng and the Hulan cavalry who did not fight were terrified......
"I don't want to die here......"
Seeing that they couldn't move on horseback, the remaining Hulan people hurriedly abandoned their horses and walked, hoping to get a glimmer of life, but the swamp after being trampled by the horses' hooves was already soft and unbearable, and as soon as they landed, they were trapped in the mud to their knees, which was really difficult to walk......
"Shoot!"
The terrible crossbow machine was pulled again, and the Hulan people who were crawling in the quagmire were shot into a sieve one by one, and with bursts of cries, they fell weakly in this terrible swamp, and gradually merged with it.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”
He Dansheng had to admit that he was defeated, and it was a fiasco, and the cavalry he led in this battle lost a full 2,000 cavalry, and if he continued to fight, I am afraid that all of them will have to be explained here.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered a retreat, only hoping that the frontal He Danqiu would be safe and sound, but his intuition told him that He Danqiu's department was probably more than lucky.
……
"Kill!"
"Drink!"
In the frontal battlefield, He Danqiu's troops had entered a state of collapse under the staggered blows of Yang Youhuai and Han Feng.
For the first time, this group of Hulan people who had been rampant in the Far East understood what despair was, and the iron army in front of them was like a killing machine, quickly crushing their pride again and again.
They couldn't understand why this official army of the Zhou State was so brave and so terrifying, what did they come from? Shouldn't Zhou Ren turn around and run when he sees him? What about these people? Not only did he not run, but he drove himself crazy! At this moment, they were scared, it was fear from the heart, and now all they want is to get out of here quickly, the farther away the better!
"Where's General Qiu?"
It wasn't until someone shouted that these Hulans came back to their senses, their commander hadn't appeared for a long time, where had he gone?
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed in his mind, He Danqiu died! This idea is irrepressibly spread to every corner of their body and mind, if the Lord is going to die, then what is the purpose of such a desperate effort?
"Sigh the law ......"
Just when the people of Hulan were uneasy, there was a whistling sound of war horses from the back of the Jingwei camp, and they instantly felt that the entire ground was shaking, and this shaking was far heavier and more terrifying than they had heard before, as if they were about to trample the earth......
"Divide the formation!"
"Woo......"
The heralds of the Huaizi Battalion and the Fengya Battalion shouted an order, and the next moment, the originally tight and seamless battle formation suddenly dispersed, and what was imprinted into the eyes of the Hulan people was a white sea of horsemen......
"That'...... That's ......"
When the 1,000 heavy cavalry of the Qingzi battalion appeared, these Hulan people felt fear from the depths of their souls, and the cavalry of the white-robed Shura phase was slowly pressing towards them with thick riding spears, and the roar of iron hooves was like a call from hell.
"Run!"
This was the first thought in the hearts of the Hulan people after seeing the cavalry of the Qingzi Battalion, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that these cavalry in front of them were all heavy cavalry, and it was a joke to fight with them.
In the midst of the lightning, these Hulan people immediately turned their horses and kept whipping their horses to run towards the hillside where they had come, and the frightened look in their eyes was exposed......
"Chase!"
When he rushed in front of Yang Youhuai's formation, Chen Qing only broke a word, and pointed his cavalry at the Hulan cavalry that was fleeing in the distance, and the iron cavalry around him slowly pressed down the erected cavalry spears and forced them into their backs......
Soon after, Chen Qing and his Qingzi battalion became a terrible nightmare for the Hunu of the grassland, and when the white-robed cavalry passed by, it brought only merciless slaughter and endless despair.
……
In Langcheng, the city construction work is being carried out in an orderly manner, watching the cracks in the city wall gradually being repaired, Liu Ce smiled with satisfaction, he finally has a territory that really belongs to him, although this place is still in danger at all times, but he believes that he can defend it, because here! It is the real starting point for realizing one's ideals, and there is no longer any need to be controlled by the scholars.
"Report! General, Miloku urgently. ”
Liu Ce looked back at the messenger who reported the news, took the secret report with a solemn face, and when he read the ten lines at a glance, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Xu Wenjing behind him: "Military advisor, southern Hebei, it's pacified!" Then hand over the secret document to Xu Wenjing.
Xu Wenjing was also overjoyed after seeing it, and said to Liu Ce: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general!" ”
Liu Ce sighed: "Thanks to your strategy, you can take southern Hebei so quickly, and give me two or three years to send troops to northern Hebei to recover the entire Jizhou!" ”
Xu Wenjing said: "The subordinates don't dare to take credit, if it weren't for the general and his subordinates and battalion soldiers, there would never be today's results!" ”
Liu Ce said: "Don't fight, military advisor, since the general trend here has been decided, I will go back to Hanling in a few days to deal with the affairs, Jiang Xun's side will definitely receive the news in a short time, I have to stabilize him first, and buy time for the development of southern Hebei." ”
Xu Wenjing said: "What the general said is extremely true, after all, the general is still the Taishou of the Han Tomb, and he belongs to Jiang Xun's moderation, and he can't be too stiff on the surface, don't worry, there will be no ......accidents here."
"I'm very relieved that you are doing things, as long as your lustful problem is more restrained." Liu Ce sighed and said.
Xu Wenjing smiled: "Don't worry, general, it's difficult for subordinates to restrain their hearts, but they also know the severity, don't worry, general, I promise that I won't delay things for women." ”
Liu Ce nodded and said: "Remember, those alien races who have not yet been attached can be persuaded and persuaded, or they will order the Jizhou army and the Wu tribe to be wiped out, and I will bring the herdsmen with me when I go back this time, since I promised them to go to Dazhou to see, I naturally can't break my word, and by the way, you can arrange the affairs of the herdsmen." ”
Xu Wenjing said: "The subordinates are self-accounting. ”
Liu Ce said: "Then I don't have anything to worry about, when I come back, I want to see a complete Langcheng, no, change the name, and call it Yong'an in the future!" ”
……
However, at this time, Liu Ce didn't know that Jiang Xun and Master Jiang had already become crazy about his son, even if Liu Ce said in front of him at this time that he was going to rebel, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
