37, Chen Cang Battle 2
The two armies face each other, and the sword is tense!
The horn of the coalition army is constantly blowing, this is the horn of the coalition army's main march. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the sound of horns, a thousand elite cavalry stood out from the large array of the Chinese army of the coalition army, and rushed straight forward, straight into the formation of the Han army.
Yan Xing's heart froze, this was to take advantage of the unstable position of the main force of the Han army that had just arrived!
Looking into the distance, I saw that the marching team of the Han army also stopped with the sound of the golden drum in the army. Wearing a crown but an enemy crown, the Han army in a crimson military uniform was in the front with a bow and crossbow in several rows, followed by the Han army armor soldiers holding spears and halberds, and then there were several Han army formations under the banner wave, and the Han army's Daxu position was also in the period, and the rear and both sides were the Han cavalry units that retreated to recover their horsepower.
Legend has it that the late Taiwei Duan Cheng pacified the Qiang rebellion, in the battle of Fengyi Mountain, in the face of a large number of Qiang soldiers, ordered the army to Zhang Yi sharp blades, spears triple, with strong crossbows, column light cavalry as the left and right wings, laid down a formation of cavalry marching together, and defeated the troops of Xian Lingqiang in one fell swoop. Seeing Huangfu Song's formation today, well versed in the needs of the soldiers, Yan Xing remembered the story he had heard of and heard, which was also the story of Duan Cheng, a famous general of this dynasty, and he secretly thought to himself in his heart, Huangfu Song is a famous general in the world, and the use of soldiers is not much better than Duan Cheng, but I am afraid that using the kingdom to deal with him with this kind of means against ordinary Han troops may not be effective!
Thinking in his heart, Yan Xing saw that the 1,000 Liangzhou cavalry galloping close to the Han army suddenly changed from a dense charge to a loose shape, and the next breath, only to hear a golden sound in the Han army, and a dense rain of arrows shrouded towards the Liangzhou cavalry, although the elite cavalry of Liangzhou had dispersed in advance, but the twenty or so horsemen at the front were still hit by several arrows, and fell to the ground in the smoke and dust that was raised. Then after firing the first round of Han troops, the Han army retreated and reloaded, and the back row of the Zhang soldiers continued to shoot forward, forcing the Liangzhou cavalry not to regroup, and when the third round of arrows was fired, the Liangzhou cavalry fell more than a dozen horses.
After paying for dozens of lives, the Liangzhou cavalry finally approached the Han army's kick Zhang Shi thirty or forty steps away, at this time the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, although there was still a row of kicking Zhang Shi just on the wind, but the sound of Jin Ji still sounded as usual, the sound of the sound of the jump Zhang Shi immediately divided into two groups, retreated to the rear on both sides of the front, and the spear halberd that had been held high behind was flattened forward, forming an insurmountable edge of the forest.
The face of the elite cavalry of Liangzhou who took the lead changed slightly, but the adaptability of these Han troops was far beyond that of ordinary county soldiers, but they were experienced in a hundred battles, and they were also improvised, and immediately turned the cavalry formation into two groups, swept over the outside of the spear formation of the Han army, and threw some short spears and halberds in their hands, trying to disrupt the formation of the Han army's spear formation, and at the same time aimed their horses' heads at the retreating Han army's Zhang Shi, their target was still these Zhang Shi, and they were raising their long knives to harvest these infantry who only ran on two legs at the speed of their horses.
At this time, a horn sounded in the Han army, the two sides of the Han army array with the banner were opened, and the passage left between the various phalanxes rushed out of the Chinese cavalry that had long been ready to go, and the Liangzhou cavalry who was blocked by the banner was suddenly frustrated, and the side of the cavalry formation was rushed out of the Han cavalry to break a big hole, and the Han army that had been retreating also dropped the crossbow machine at this time, and drew out the blades to prepare to shake the Liangzhou cavalry, worried that the Liangzhou cavalry who was cut off and outflanked by the enemy on both sides had to turn their horses and withdraw from the battle circle. The Han cavalry on both sides seized the mistake of the unprepared Liangzhou cavalry and accelerated the capture of the elite cavalry of Liangzhou from outside.
For a time, the Liangzhou cavalry with few enemies and many enemies were attacked on all sides, and most of the people were trapped by the Han army in three directions, only the two groups of men and horses at the end of the cavalry formation saw that the opportunity was not good, and quickly turned around and evacuated to escape a catastrophe, after a short fight, the Liangzhou cavalry left nearly 300 corpses and retreated back in disgrace. The cavalry of the Han army only pursued and killed for a while, and then retreated back after reaching the range of their own crossbows.
At this time, the Han army's Zhang Shi returned to their original position again and formed a horizontal formation, and the cavalry of the Chinese army also retreated into the formation, and the cavalry on both sides returned to their original positions, and the spearmen's spear halberd was raised high. The soldiers and horses that had just been mobilized seemed to have never moved, and once again faced the Liangzhou coalition army in a complete formation.
"Shhhh
Yan Xing could hear a gasp from the soldiers who were watching the battle situation around him, this kind of army that was "as fast as the wind, Xu as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain" was also the first time he had encountered it, and it was worthy of being the elite of the Han Dynasty who eliminated the traitors from all directions, and it was worthy of being the pillar of the imperial court on which Sheji relied for stability.
It seems that the Han army's choice to occupy the high ground was definitely thought out in advance, in the face of the Western Liang cavalry coming and going like the wind, not only can it be beneficial for the infantry to form a formation to resist the cavalry impact, but the unobstructed view on the terrain can timely mobilize the army according to the movements of the Liangzhou rebels, which greatly offset the flexibility advantage of the cavalry assault.
The kingdom on the Chinese army witnessed this scene the whole time, and although it was only a skirmish, the elite cavalry he sent had already lost nearly a third. The command ability of the Han generals is perfect, and the Han troops under his command are also quite daring to fight, and the superiority in armor is even more than that of the allied soldiers. However, after this temptation, the kingdom also saw the weakness of the Han army, that is, the number and cavalry of the Han army were less than that of the coalition army, and the cavalry on both sides that had just been dispatched was the vanguard of the Han army that was originally pursued, and the cavalry of the Han army was only a few hundred horsemen, although these cavalry were better equipped than the cavalry of the coalition army, but they were far inferior in number.
In addition, the kingdom estimates that the number of these pursuing Han troops is within 30,000, which is far from all the troops that the Sanfu Han army can use, so they can completely break the trick with their strength, although the position under the Huangfu Song is impeccable, but as long as the coalition army is fully pressed on the left, center and right, the Han army with insufficient troops will inevitably be overstretched. And even if the old thief of Huangfu really used his troops like a god, and he could still resist his all-out attack with inferior troops, the battle situation would inevitably fall into a stalemate, and the two sides would not be able to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. When the sky is dark, he can slowly retreat with his soldiers and horses, and the Han army, which is less than his own number, can only watch himself go away at that time, sighing in vain.
The kingdom, who was quickly calculating the gains and losses in his mind, smiled coldly and waved his hand. Soon, the horn of the Chinese army's march sounded again.
This time the horn sounded for a long time, in the sound of the horn, the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army began to approach the Han army's large array, and the front of a Qiang warrior with a disheveled head and a leather robe held a shield in one hand and a heavy axe in the other, shouting and striding forward. The other coalition soldiers behind also followed quickly, some of them were wearing iron armor, holding spears, and some were only wrapped in a piece of animal skin, with bows and arrows, different weapons, and various costumes, but there was no doubt that they were the most fierce warriors in Liangzhou, and although the formation of the charge at this time was not in order compared with the Han army on the opposite side, it had a courageous momentum.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The Liangzhou soldiers in the charge all roared loudly, and it was like thousands of fierce beasts howling on the battlefield full of shouts. And the front part of the Qiang people do not understand Chinese, it sounds more like gibberish, they rush to the front like a whirlwind, some are even running barefoot, but as the charge accelerates, the people behind are pulled away by a distance, these are the nomadic Qiang warriors on the West Sea, they are more backward than other Qiang people who have tended to be sinicized, but correspondingly more bloodthirsty and barbaric, the kingdom values their bloody nature that is not afraid of death, and sent them to the forefront of the charging team when they blow the trumpet and march.
The Qiang people's fortitude and courage have never been false!
