Chapter 406: The Great War of Han (II)
More than 10,000 cavalry of the Qiang tribe, covering the tribe, rushed north.
Many cattle, sheep, livestock and carrying baggage had to be abandoned along the way.
Only by traveling lightly can you be more likely to flee for your life.
Huang Zhong and Xu Huang lived on the two flanks of the Qian tribe, forming an offensive and defensive formation that stretched for several miles.
As soon as he approached the Karma, he threw his bow and arrow at the Karma. The soldiers and civilians of the Qiang nationality suffered heavy casualties, but they were helpless.
The Qiang tribe was transformed from jackals into sheep and driven away by hunters. There were more Han troops in the south, and they could only move forward.
Ye Yiyu's ambition has long been extinguished by tens of thousands of Han troops.
"Chief, this is not the way to go! The Han army is all on horseback, and we still have to cover the clansmen, and it may be difficult to escape. ”
The generals of the Qiang tribe stared at him with fear in their hearts.
"Why don't I know? We attack it, and they are scattered. We chase after them, and they all run. Do you want us to abandon our people? ”
Ye Yiyu said through gritted teeth.
The Han army has been going on like this, and they are really going to be in fear all day.
"Chief, do we have a choice? If you don't keep the fire, you will die. ”
A Qiang general said to Ye Yiyu.
Abandoning the clansmen is a bit ruthless and unjust, and it is also the most correct choice. It also corresponds to the nature of the Karma people.
"That's right. Only by preserving one group of people can the Wuqi people survive forever. ”
Ye Yiyu's eyes were like wolves, with a cold light.
As the leader of the Qiang tribe, he still has the courage of this kind of strong man to relieve his wrist.
"Sons, elders, women. I live here today. The Han army wants to put me to death. There are so many Han troops, you must have seen it. The ferocity of the Han army, you must also understand it. If we stay together, we will all die in this desert. For karma, someone has to give. And only the strong can fight their way out of the clutches of the Han army. The horseless clansmen all attacked the Han army on both sides, thinking that those with horses were still alive. Even if you are killed by the demons, you will return to the arms of the Tengri God. ”
Ye Yi rushed to the middle of the Karma tribe on the royal horse, puffed up his voice, and shouted to the Karma people.
His words were pathetic, and his eyes were filled with tears, as if he had to abandon the old and weak women and children to make such a decision.
The Qiang people were influenced by the Xiongnu, coupled with their nature. It is also to respect the strong, and the weak to be cheap.
In terms of food, the strong eat the fat, and the old and weak eat the rest.
As a last resort, Ye Yiyu will not hesitate to abandon the old and weak women and children. Abandon chickens, dogs, cattle, sheep, livestock, etc.
They can snatch women from other ethnic groups, give birth to children for them, and recreate the Karma tribe.
They savagely robbed other people's goods and livestock for their daily life.
"Karma, karma, karma."
Encouraged by Ye Yiyi, the old and weak women and children of the Qian tribe had red eyes and rushed towards the Han troops on both sides.
They had rudimentary weapons in their hands, and many of them were bare-handed. A total of a fierce scene.
The Tengri people believe that the god Tengger is the "god of heaven", the "sky", the eternal "supreme god", and the master of the world and mankind.
After death, the soul will be taken away by the god Tengri and enjoy a carefree eternal life.
"Are the Huns crazy?"
Huang Zhong frowned and looked at this scene, no matter how strong the nomads were, they were vulnerable to well-trained ironclad warriors.
The Han army was able to surpass the carnivorous Xiongnu and Xianbei in a short period of time, because the Han army also received meat supplements in the past few years, and there were plenty of grains and grains that were also very strong.
As long as the Han army does not encounter rain and snow, it is a training every day. It is rare for the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes to gather together for half a month to train in a unified manner.
"General, General Xu Huang said that this Huns are extremely ferocious, they took the initiative to attack our soldiers, and more than 100 soldiers have hated them. The old, the weak, the women, and the children are all enemies, and they cannot be merciful. ”
A Han cavalryman rushed to Huang Zhong and said.
"Prepare to release arrows freely, and those who approach our army fifty paces will be killed!"
Huang Zhong gave the order in a deep voice.
The people of the Qiang nationality kept shouting "Karma" and rushed forward desperately.
They were faced with thousands of Han cavalry shots.
Gradually, the Qian people reached the Han army fifty paces away.
"Whoosh!"
Ten thousand arrows will be fired together, and the one in the middle will fall.
However, the Qiang people were not afraid of death and injury, and approached the Han army with a sea of people.
Some of the Qiang people were still driving cattle, using them as a cover, and rushed towards the Han army.
After the Han army released a few rounds of arrows, the Qian people approached.
The Han army rushed forward with spears, and they did not have to avoid these people.
Xu Huang and Huang Zhong both understood that the enemy wanted a strong man to free his wrist, sacrificing the old and weak, women and children in exchange for survival.
However, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong both knew that the Modao Army was waiting for these "Huns".
They could have relied on cavalry to crush the enemy, but it took time for the Qiang to rush forward. It was to reduce the number of casualties in the army and achieve a total victory.
The Modao Army was born to deal with cavalry.
Liu Fan established the Modao Army in order to let the northern Zhuhu hear the word "Modao", and they were frightened and broken.
"Tell the general that the enemy army is twenty miles away."
The Modao army was marching, and the scouts rushed to Xu Chu to report.
"Give the order, the whole army dismounts, put on all the armor, and line up to fight."
Xu Chu's face turned cold and ordered.
With a wave of the flag, the whole army reined in.
The servants dismounted, and they led their armoured horses to find their servants.
This kind of double heavy armor is difficult to wear alone, or even impossible to wear. Someone has to help.
If it is between comrades-in-arms, help each other to dress, if there is a sudden ride, time is likely to not be able to keep up.
Therefore, when on an expedition, prepare a man and four horses, as well as servants.
Servant armies are theoretically not required to participate in combat. But they were all armed with light armor and bows and arrows, and sabers.
In times of crisis, they go to war, also to protect themselves.
With the help of the servant army, the Modao soldiers quickly put on their full armor.
A group of "giants" wrapped in iron armor, pulling down their armor, holding Mo knives.
A long front was unfurled. The Mo Dao Army is very divided, and there is a three-zhang distance between everyone.
To the west of the Modao Army are tens of thousands of ownerless war horses. To the northeast of the Modao Army was an army of 3,000 servants on horseback.
It was not so easy for the cavalry of the Qiang tribe to bypass the Modao army.
The northeast direction is Shuofang, and the place where Xu Chu and other Mo knives block is the northwest. And the interval between the soldiers was three zhang, one was to arrange a line of defense that the cavalry could not pass, and the other was to create an illusion for the Qiang people that "our army can pass through".
Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qian nationality stepped on the rolling yellow sand, and the horses' hooves carried the sand, appearing several miles away from the Han army.
They also saw the Mo Dao Army.
The array is sparse and sparse, but as far as the eye can see.
The desert yellow sand, iron armor.
"Han infantry! Its battle array is sparse, and there are more than 1,000 people, pretending to be ghosts. The conflict passed, and it was crushed at the first blow. ”
Ye Yiyu didn't look at the Mo Dao Army in his eyes, and ordered his subordinates.
In a real sense, the Qian people fought the Han army for the first time. They had never seen the strength of the Han infantry. I don't know that not long ago, the Modao Army with 3,000 hard resistance to tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry.
I don't know myself, I don't know who I am. The first time, and the last time.
