Nearly 1,000 catapults advancing on the plains at the same time are extremely magnificent, and these catapults often move forward in three or five in parallel, forming a wide surface. Protecting the iron cavalry behind, on both sides were scattered spearmen, approaching the Great Qin army array in front. In the Chinese army, looking at the sudden car formation of the Huns, those staff officers and officers of the White Tiger Festival were stunned, they did not expect that the Huns had prepared such a huge number of car formations, and they were stunned for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.
"What about ballistas? We haven't tuned it yet! Li Ang looked at the group of staff officers of the White Tiger Festival Hall in a daze. Roared loudly, these staff officers, the enemy's machine change is still insufficient, the Huns made such a large cluster of chariots, clearly to forcibly break their crossbow array, so that the iron cavalry rushed in.
After being shouted by Li Ang, the staff officers of the White Tiger Festival Hall immediately came back to their senses, and then according to Li Ang's order, the auxiliary troops in the rear gathered ballistas. "Grandpa, we didn't expect the Huns to think of this method to break the formation, and the number of ballistas brought was not much. There are only about 100 units. One of the staff officers closest to Li Ang had a bitter voice.
"Let the tiger and leopard ride ready to go into battle." Looking at the catapult cluster that was less than a thousand steps away, Li Ang's gaze became cold, and he decisively gave an order, and now the only way was to let the tiger and leopard ride out and break the Huns' chariot array. Otherwise, when they are in range, the entire formation is in danger of collapsing.
"General Han, Grandpa let the tiger and leopard ride the whole army out of battle and destroy the Huns' car formation." Before the soldiers at the herald had entered the queue of the tiger and leopard riders, they had already shouted loudly, and by the time he entered, Han Baobao had already passed down the general order. "Hang up, get on the horse!" With the high voice of the herald, the tigers and leopards in the line rode with the help of the auxiliary soldiers beside them, and put on their full body heavy armor. Armored the horse, and then saddled. While the tigers and leopards were riding in their uniforms, the crossbow array in front of them continued to suppress the lancers scattered by the Huns in front of them, and at the same time gave way to the road.
As the horns sounded, the first nine armored tigers and leopards began to gallop and gallop, while the hoplites at the front, under the command of the officers, gave way to several roads for five horses to run in parallel. In the Hun array, watching the Great Qin crossbow array suddenly weaken, and the hoplite front line in front of him gave way again, Liu Bao knew that Wu Anjun was going to make a killer move, and only the tiger and leopard cavalry could block his catapult cluster at this time, sneering, Liu Bao let the cavalry beside him shake the command flag, and soon the horn of the charge sounded, and the Hun iron cavalry that followed the parallel catapults rushed out of the passage between hundreds of catapults under the leadership of the centurion, Then they gathered into a team of thousands of people and rushed towards the Great Qin army formation in front, and at this time, the Great Qin crossbow formation almost stopped, which was a good opportunity for them to rush into battle.
When the Hun iron cavalry approached the front of the Great Qin army, it was the tiger and leopard cavalry that rushed out, and the two heavy cavalry collided head-on together, the armor of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the war horse blade was not comparable to the Huns, almost instantly, the tiger and leopard cavalry killed the thousands of Hun iron cavalry in front of them, and rushed forward. However, the number of iron cavalry of the Huns was far above them, and they were not afraid of death, and behind the cluster of chariots, countless iron cavalry met the surging tiger and leopard cavalry in front of them in the sound of drums and horns of the Chinese army.
"Let the crossbowmen go to the right flank and crush the light cavalry of the left army of the Huns." Looking at the still approaching cluster of catapults, Li Ang shouted at the herald beside him, and at this time the entire battlefield was enveloped by the sound of drums, horses' hooves, and the clashing of gold and iron, and everywhere there were neighing shouts of killing.
"Grandpa let the tiger and leopard ride alone to face the Chinese army of the Huns." Seeing that Li Ang transferred all the light infantry to the right flank, the staff officers and generals of the White Tiger Festival Hall all opened their eyes and looked at Li Ang.
"The Chinese army of the Huns is strong, and it is of little use for them to stay." Looking at the tiger and leopard cavalry of the two armies and the iron cavalry of the Huns, Li Ang's voice did not carry the slightest emotion, he had decided to use 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to carry the Chinese army of the Huns, until the two wings defeated the Huns, and then converge to break through the Huns' main formation.
"Let the hoplites unload their shields and abandon their guns, all of them will be on their swords, and follow the tiger and leopard cavalry to advance." See those of the White Tiger Festival
The officials stood still, and Li Ang's eyes lit up, and they could only see a chill in their hearts as he gave his order.
The retreating hoplites, after removing the large shields from their arms, only took a moment of respite before taking their swords from the auxiliaries who had brought up the ordnance. After regrouping, they ran towards the battlefield. And the auxiliaries were not idle, they quickly set up high platforms in the position, so that their ballistas could be kept below zero and fire at the catapult clusters in front.
"Father-in-law, now it's a completely evenly matched war of attrition." Li Cunzhi, who followed Li Ang to the high platform, looked at the chaotic battlefield. With a frowning brow, the tiger and leopard cavalry were still rushing forward, but their speed had slowed down, after all, they had to face more than twice the number of Hun iron cavalry they were.
"It's not evenly matched, after a long time, we will suffer!" Li Ang looked at the Xiongnu formation in the distance, and his voice was extremely deep, this was the first large-scale battle since he led the troops. In the plan formulated by the generals of the White Tiger Festival, it was originally to block the Huns' cavalry with a gun array, relying on the crossbow array to consume their vital strength, and finally let the tiger and leopard ride out of the formation and defeat their Dizhong army in one fell swoop, but where did they think that everything would turn upside down.
"Try to knock out the Huns' catapults." Looking at Huang Yuan, who commanded the ballista, Li Ang almost gritted his teeth. The Huns' catapults were so well hidden that if he had known earlier, he would have had enough ballistas in his hands, so why would he need to change the formation and let the tiger and leopard cavalry lead the heavy infantry forward to the hard top.
Huang Yuan nodded with a gloomy face, of course he knew how bad the situation was right now. More than a thousand catapults, did the Huns think they were fighting Chang'an City! He personally visualized the catapults of the Huns in the distance, constantly corrected the angle of the ballista's firing, and then began the rapid fire of the ballista.
Looking at the high platform position of the Daqin ballista that spanned a distance of more than 1,500 steps and could still smash his catapult to pieces, Liu Bao's eyes flashed with envy, if only the Huns could have a weapon with this range, seeing that there were constantly catapults destroyed by the stone projectiles fired by the ballistas. Liu Bao looked at the herald beside him and said, "Let them start throwing while retreating." ”
—
The Huns' catapult clusters began to be thrown, and countless rocks were thrown in an instant. Falling towards the tiger and leopard cavalry, for a time nearly a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and the Hun iron cavalry who were fighting together were smashed off their horses and suffered heavy losses. Looking at this scene, the light in Li Ang's eyes became more and more intense, Liu Bao, the commander of the Huns who could sacrifice even his own soldiers at will, he wrote it down.
"Give the order to General Han that no matter what the cost, those catapults must be destroyed." Leon looked at the slowly retreating catapult cluster, and said in a deep voice to the herald beside him, without destroying these catapults, he would not be able to capture the Huns' camp.
After a while, Han captured the leopard and said to the generals beside him, "The ancestors of the tiger and leopard rode once beat the Huns in embarrassment, and fled thousands of miles north to avoid it, and they couldn't live in fear, are we not even as good as the Huns now?" Han Baobao ripped off his helmet, threw it on the ground, and shouted, "If we can't defeat the Huns today, what face will we have to meet our ancestors." After that, this veteran general ignored the dissuasion of his own soldiers, and actually rode his horse and rushed out, and for a while all the generals around him shouted in unison, "Today is either the enemy dies or I die." "All of them threw their helmets on the ground, raised their guns, and killed them at the forefront of the three armies.
Under the leadership of a group of generals, all the tiger and leopard riders were red-eyed, and the short knife was inserted into the buttocks of the mount, and they rushed forward like a mad tiger, and the iron cavalry of the Huns had no resistance in front of the rags and leopards, but in a short moment, they were killed by the tiger and leopard cavalry and retreated three hundred paces, catching up with the retreating catapult cluster.
The tiger and leopard rode behind, replaced with a Mo knife hand and a real tiger and leopard cavalry for a burst of fierce charges, and also smashed into the catapult cluster, these powerful hoplites slashed at the Hun auxiliaries guarding the catapults, and then destroyed these catapults, smashing the axles and launchers to pieces.
Seeing that the 60,000 iron cavalry in front of him were killed by the tiger and leopard cavalry, and they were killed by more than 300 steps, Liu Bao was furious, although the equipment and horses were not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry, but 60,000 people were defeated by 30,000 people, which was really embarrassing. "Give me an order, if you dare to take another half step back, you will be killed." Liu Bao yelled at the heralds, he must not lose this battle at the moment, if he was suppressed by the tiger and leopard cavalry and rushed straight towards them, then all the thoughts he had paid would be over.
Under Liu Bao's cruel military order, the Hun iron cavalry, who was killed by the tiger and leopard cavalry, stabilized their position after being shot by their comrades behind them and killed hundreds of horses, and fought together with the tiger and leopard cavalry again.
Looking at the catapult that was constantly destroyed, Liu Bao's face became extremely hideous, and then he said to the number one general beside him, the general of the former battalion of the Huns, "Take your people out of battle, even if you fight, you will fight for me to fight the tiger and leopard horse." ”
"Yes!" The general of the Hun front battalion, shouted loudly, and then rode away, he had 10,000 cavalry, is the most elite cavalry in the whole army except Liu Bao's 3,000 personal guards, although the armor on the body is not as good as the tiger and leopard horse, but it is also a layer of leather armor, a layer of chain armor, a layer of iron armor of the triple armor, is comparable to the tiger and leopard cavalry of the elite heavy cavalry, at this time he got the general order, his heart is already eager to kill the tiger and leopard cavalry, a snow Hun hundred years of shame.
