Gongsun Kang's scattered extermination of some small tribes, coupled with the burning and looting of the Yellow Turban Army, aroused the vigilance and indignation of the natives.

The twelve large Mahan tribes closest to Lelang County began to form an alliance, and selected 6,000 warriors to invade Lelang County to fight Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang did not defend the city, and he ordered 5,000 soldiers to line up on the border line of Lelang County. He had to go head-to-head with the natives of Samhan to see who could win in the same situation in the wilderness. This unit is Gongsun Kang's old subordinate when he was in Xuansu County, and he has experienced countless battles and is an elite soldier who has been tested in previous battles. Gongsun Kang believed in them very much.

To conquer the land of Samhan, it is not as opportunistic as defending the city. It has to be tough.

At present, Samhan is basically undeveloped, and it is full of deep forests and hilly areas. Therefore, in history, all dynasties and generations only set up Lelang County to manage the local people of Samhan, and never had the idea of occupying Samhan and developing Samhan. Because the gains outweigh the losses. At the end of the day, undeveloped land is not worth much. Youzhou and the two states of Youzhou are much larger than the area of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou combined; But in terms of population, it is dozens of times less than these five states.

Samhan natives, whose faces are painted with white ash and yellow plant juice, draw scary grimaces. Wow Wow screamed and rushed up, no formation, only a charge. Teng Dun, iron rod is standard.

The Liaodong Army stood quietly without making a sound. In the first row is a large iron shield that is one person high.

A large iron shield, more than seven feet tall (1.6 meters), with a pointed end on the two sides of the shield, which can be inserted into the ground when landed, and a beam, which can be folded on the back, which can be supported on the ground when opened.

The first row of large shields, side by side, form a shield wall, one next to the other, and no one can be seen.

This is a large shield against cavalry. It can also be used to protect against strong bows and crossbows.

The second row to the seventh row are the crossbowmen, and the first marksmen shoot positioning arrows, with red silk, and a batch of arrows are shot at 240 paces and 150 steps.

At 240 steps, someone gave the order: "The stone throwers collectively fire three rounds." ”

The light stone thrower throws a stone the size of a human head and smashes it on the head of the native, which is a puddle of flesh and mud. The formation of the natives is not dense, and the stones did not kill many people, but the psychological impact it brought was great, after all, the death was too miserable.

When the natives came within 150 paces, an order was given: "Crossbowmen ready." The first row is at an angle of 45 degrees, fired from the back. Second row, 45-degree angle, shoot from the top. ”

The natives raised their shields one after another to block the crossbow arrows. Wait for the third row to finish shooting too. The natives also fell hundreds of people, and the fastest ones rushed to 80 steps.

Orders continued to be given: "The crossbowmen retreat to the two sides, and the archers prepare; At 50 paces, the archer shoots flat. ”

By the time the archers finished shooting, more than 1,000 natives had fallen, and the remaining 4,000 people were about to rush to 20 paces.

Gongsun Kang drew his sword and shouted: "Cover with bows and arrows on the flanks, and the Chinese army will charge head-on!" Kill! ”

The horn sounds, whining and whining, this is the horn of the charge. The long and short rhythms of the horn all represent different meanings.

"Collect the shield!" The shields stood sideways, revealing space for the horses.

"Cavalry attack!"

500 cavalry were the first to rush out, followed by light infantry rushing. The cavalry was armed with an ash lance, which had a brittle wooden shaft that broke the shaft of the horse when it penetrated the enemy's body, avoiding the reaction force. It can be said to be disposable. Of course, after the war, the battlefield was cleaned, and the iron gun head could also be recycled and reused.

The cavalry were all dressed in iron armor, and even the war horses were covered with leather armor.

The spears of the 500 cavalry pierced into the bodies of the natives, and the barrels of the guns broke one after another. The cavalry threw away the remaining half of the wooden pole in his hand, then took off the long knife hanging on the right side of the saddle with his right hand, held it with both hands and pushed it diagonally to the left, relying on the momentum of the horse, and directly cut off all the enemies and weapons that stood in front of the horse's left side.

They don't have to think about the right side, where the long knives of their comrades are stretched out and pushed diagonally. In less than a quarter of an hour, they smashed through the enemy's ranks, carved out a blank space in the middle of the enemy's ranks, and divided the natives' ranks in half, so that the Liaodong soldiers could divide and surround them. The battlefield was chaotic, and friend and foe were mixed together. The cavalry did not come back, they hung up their long knives, took up their bows and arrows, and wandered around the perimeter, occasionally firing cold arrows to kill the natives.

The light armored infantry also wore iron armor on the upper body, and the front rows held iron spears, and they followed the cavalry with flat ends, and rushed up in a neat line. When the cavalry broke through the natives, they divided into two teams, each of which surrounded the natives and stabbed them in groups.

Behind them were leather-armored infantry with wooden shields in one hand and ring knives in the other, and they were more flexible and specialized in dealing with enemies who were overwhelmed by cavalry and light infantry. In teams of three, cover each other, you block me and I will cut you.

The sunset was like blood, and it was bright red. Crows flew to the woods near the battlefield in flocks, croaking and croaking, waiting for a full meal.

This was the first battle, Gongsun Kang did not spare his hand, and almost killed him. It is necessary to kill the majesty and the evil spirit. It is also necessary to kill the notoriety, so that the natives will hear the wind and surrender.

The Mahan natives died on the ground one by one, and many of them had their eyes wide open, and they couldn't see what they were dying. The badly wounded native groaned weakly.

The Liaodong Army lined up to inspect the battlefield, and when it encountered it, it made up for it to end the groaning of the Mahan natives.

The fatal wounds of the Mahan natives are all in the chest, in the face of the well-armed and armed Liaodong army to the teeth, in the face of the Tiefang formation, the rain of strong bows and arrows, they did not retreat, did not escape, and moved forward bravely without blinking their eyes, mighty and unyielding, singing and crying.

However, they were all annihilated. Liaodong soldiers only killed more than 1,000 and wounded more than 2,000. The disparity in combat effectiveness made this battle feel like a massacre.

This was the first large-scale battle with the Samhan natives. Don't think that the natives are not brave without culture, on the contrary, the more civilized the culture, the more knowledge, the more timid and afraid of death. This has been proven by countless dynasties in later generations.

After this battle, the backbone of the Samhan natives was broken, and in the following battles, it was not uncommon for them to surrender on their knees at the slightest difficulty.

After the war, Gongsun Kang ordered the beheading of the natives and built Gyeonggwan on the border of the three Koreas.

His hero, my enemy, should be viewed as such.
