Chapter 501: Zhang Ranming's army was defeated like a mountain
In October, the weather outside the Saiwai is getting colder and colder at this time, and countless snowflakes are falling around the Daxianbei Mountain in the northeast region of the later generations. The Xiliang Army, which was the most advanced army to Zhang Huan in Daxianbei Mountain, although the thick clothes had not arrived, the Xiliang athletes had long been accustomed to the bitter cold in the northwest, but because they did not have thick clothes, they could still get used to the weather outside the country, but under the heavy snow, the grain and grass were not continued, and the fate of the Xiliang Army was worrying.
At the same time, the Xiliang army distanced itself from the Youyou and Erzhou armies, and also gave the Xianbei people a chance, because of the heavy snowfall, coupled with the unstable grain routes, the march was slow, so Helian, who was originally ready to wait for the opportunity, naturally would not give up this opportunity, and gathered a large army under his command to attack the Han army.
The wind was bleak, the earth was reckless, and a snowflake fell from the sky and fell on Zhang Huan's old face, turning into a cold. As he got older, Zhang Huan's brain often became sleepy, but the cold texture of the snowflakes and the long sword in his hand from his fingertips still made him conscious.
Zhang Huan looked far away, only to see the end of the wilderness, there was a faint black line wriggling, if you look closely, the other party's Huyi scimitar has already explained their identity, it is the Xianbei army that Zhang Huan has not been able to find for a long time.
Is it finally coming?
The corners of Zhang Huan's mouth floated with a faint calmness, and then shouted in his old voice: "Go home thousands of miles today, if you enter, you will succeed, you will die, and work hard to make a name for yourself!" ”
This is what Duan said when he was in Fengyi Mountain, against the Qiang people, Zhang Huan's words were not only to use these words to motivate the soldiers, but more importantly, to arouse the anger of these Xiliang athletes, because Duan and other Xiliang people's great hatred needs to be avenged by the Xiliang people under his command.
Although Zhang Huan moved to Huayin, he is no longer a native of Xiliang, but he was born in Liangzhou, he naturally knows the characteristics of Liangzhou men, Zhang Huan is now using the Duan who was killed by the Xianbei people, this "Liangzhou Sanming" who has a special status in the hearts of Liangzhou people like him, he believes that the Liangzhou men present will definitely not have heard this. Because of the deeds of "Liangzhou Sanming", in Liangzhou is something that every Liangzhou child should have heard from childhood to adulthood, otherwise they would not have the title of "Liangzhou Sanming" who moved the world.
Everything is in plain sight, the Xiliang army knows that if it is snowing and not camping, it will attract the attention of the Xianbei people, so that there is a high probability of a decisive battle with the other party under the winter snow, but it is still like this, because the Xiliang army has long known Zhang Huan's premeditation, they just want to let the Xianbei people know that the Han army has no food and no reinforcements, and takes the initiative to lure the Xianbei people to send troops.
For Zhang Huan, a famous Han general who has been fighting horses all his life, with the deepening of the Han army in today's situation, he can also guess the thoughts of Xianbei people. He already knew that Xianbei suddenly appeared with many small troops, constantly attacking the Han army's grain road, and at the same time, the Han army scouts could not find the main force of Helian everywhere, this kind of signs, for this battlefield general, there is only one explanation, that is, the Xianbei people are very likely to wait for the Han army to run out of food, and then under the heavy snow, with cavalry to attack the Han army's infantry, so as to win.
After all, the two-legged ones can't run four legs, and the logistics of the Han army in the snow are insufficient, and Xianbei waits for work, this battle has a great chance of winning for the Xianbei people. This is also Helian's plan not to strictly follow Xianbei's original plan, and wait until the Han army runs out of food, and then raid the plan, it is really rare to have heavy snow, and Helian himself does not dare to guarantee how long this initial university can last.
The sound of weapons unsheathed, shouting and killing, wheezing, and metal crashing sounded all together, and countless Xiliang athletes began their final preparations before the battle, and the scorching cold wind blew their red tassels, and together with the black iron armor, formed a fluttering red and black angry wave.
The horn of the Xianbei people is getting closer and closer, the faint black line on the horizon has become thicker and thicker, and at this moment, the long and loud horn of the Han army is slowly sounding, and at the same time, the soldiers of all departments are under the leadership of the generals, under the order of the banner of the Chinese army, waiting in formation.
The Han army's array was silent, and in the whining cold wind, at this moment, in the front of the Han army, Yang Aruo, who was leading a team of people, heard a slight chatter of teeth behind him.
Yang Aruo turned his head and looked at his fellow villagers with soft eyes, this fellow villager was only twenty years old, in the past, in Jiuquan, he was famous for his lifeless love to fight with people and grab land, but now he came to the barracks with him, but his appearance has changed. Only in the other party's hand, he was holding a Han army's standard spear tightly, and at this moment he was holding the hands at one end of the spear, but he was trembling slightly, obviously still couldn't stand the cruelty of the battlefield, it can be seen that he was not afraid of death in the past, he knew that he couldn't die, and he had no fear. Now, Xianbei people are coming, all kinds of ugliness will also appear, but Yang Asuo did not say much about this, people have to adapt to the new environment, if their fellow villagers can't adapt to the environment of the army, then what awaits him is only "death", under the war, no one can have the strength to care about him.
However, after all, he was a fellow villager and joined the army with him, Yang Aruo still reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and indifferently encouraged: "Don't be afraid, the Xianbei people will pass soon, and the Han will win!" ”
In fact, Yang Aruo said this purely comforting, because even he himself was not sure whether his Han army, under the command of Zhang Huan's strategy, could win, after all, this move was too dangerous, if these Xiliang recruits in front of them could not resist the impact of the Xianbei people, the bow and crossbow that the Han army was proud of could not play a role, then this battle could really be said to be "hanging".
The horse's hooves burst, the sound of the earth shaking was getting closer and closer, the other party was a huge cavalry, and when Yang Aruo saw the banner of the Xianbei people waving in the wind, his heart was also beating very uncompromisingly. Sure enough, as Zhang Gong said, they will encounter the main force of the Xianbei people, because the style of the Xianbei banner clearly told Yang Aruo that this is the banner of the Xianbei leader and the company, so it seems that this cavalry attacking the Xiliang Army must be the main force of the Xianbei people, and it is also the murderer who killed the pride of the Liangzhou people, and a wave of anger surged into Yang Aruo's heart......
"Troops, do your best today, kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
As Zhang Huan shouted in his old voice again, countless Xiliang Jian'er who realized the identity of the Xianbei people on the other side, like Yang Aruo, suddenly surged with blood and energy, shouting to face the enemy in front of them, they wanted to let the Xianbei people know what the pain of death was.
In front of the Xianbei army, He Lian raised his scimitar and galloped wildly, and the most elite 1,000 horsemen under his command followed him closely. This time, the Xianbei people came completely prepared, the huge cavalry array seemed to come from the dark waves of hell, wrapped in the power of crushing everything, like the sky falling apart, like the waves crashing on the shore, rolling towards the Han army in front, even if they found that the Han army in front of them seemed to be prepared, they were also fearless.
Perhaps they knew that they were facing the Western Liang Army of the Han people, and not long ago, they had forced the pride of the Liangzhou people; Or maybe they know that the Han army in front has no way to retreat, the Han army has long run out of food, as long as they, the warriors of Daxian and Beibei, can break through the formation of the Han people and enter the Han army formation, then under this university, the Han army on the opposite side will have no chance of winning.
The earth under his feet receded like a tidal wave, and there were only thousands of horses between heaven and earth, and the whole world trembled and trembled with the roar of knocking on the earth. At this moment, looking at the Han army in front of him as if waiting to be slaughtered, He Lian seemed to see that he had defeated another famous general of the Han people, and completely gave his Xianbei people the confidence to lose their ground after repeated defeats, and then developed Xianbei, restored Xianbei to the strength of his father Xianbei Xiongzhu Tanshi Huai, and reproduced the glory of Daxianbei on the grassland.
"Kill!"
He Lian roared, slashed down the sword in his hand, accelerated his horsepower at the same time, and rushed straight to the front of the Han army. The formation of the Han people repeatedly gave the Xianbei people a lot of casualties, and Helian, who knew the mental condition of the warriors under his command, decided to take the lead and boost morale. Of course, the reason why He Lian changed his usual personality and was so not afraid of death was because he had already received news from the Han Kingdom, knowing that most of the Xiliang Army under Zhang Huan of the Han Army were recruited recruits, with little training, and the combat power was too far from the elite of the Han Army, which gave He Lian the courage to forcibly lead people to attack the Han Army's good horse rejection formation.
"Kill!"
A thousand Xianbei iron cavalry responded violently, the sound was like thunder, thousands of iron hooves stirred up the snow in the sky, like a rolling iron stream instantly crossed Helian and continued to sprint forward, the front row of cavalry will wave the scimitar in his hand, like a crazy dash to the front of the Han army, the sharp cold light on the scimitar seems to make the gray of the sky fade.
As the cavalry drew closer and closer, the formation of the new Han army inevitably began to stir, and the soldiers standing in the front row began to look around in horror, and the timid ones had begun to retreat. The captains and horses ran back and forth angrily in front of the battle, shouting and scolding, trying to control the decline, and even after seeing his own soldiers scolding, the captains still retreated and killed directly in front of the battle, so as to shock the morale of the army.
It's just that, even so, the efforts of these lieutenants are only temporary, there is no way, there are too many recruits, the training time is too short, and there are not too many powerful veterans in the army as the backbone, and the use of heads to deter the morale of the army can only be maintained for a while, and it is undoubtedly difficult to think of the long-term.
"Bang", the Xianbei cavalry slammed into the Han army's already arranged rejection of the horse, which is the best tactic that the Han has so far dealt with the cavalry attack and the infantry has studied.
After that, more Xianbei cavalry rushed to the front of the Han army, and at the same time, the extra Xianbei cavalry bypassed the front of the Han army, unexpectedly attacked from both flanks, and took the initiative to engage the Han cavalry. Obviously, this time, Helian wants to have a drama of completely annihilating the Han army, and there will be no chance for the Han army.
Frankly speaking, Helian is gambling, because he has no chance to lose again, even if the strategy provided by Mr. Li, the Han man, is very good, but when he really attacks, it does not mean that the Xianbei people are victorious. When he was a child, at the request of his father Tan Shihuai, He Lian, who had studied Han culture, knew that the Han people had a lot of things that happened to break the cauldron and fight against the water, and he could not guarantee that Zhang Huan's army would not fight with him and these miracles, so he was not careless from the beginning, but used 100% of his strength to fight to the death with the Xianbei people.
Perhaps, this time God is really on the side of Helian, maybe, this time Zhang Huan, a famous Han general, bet that the Xiliang recruits under his command can defeat the bet of the Xianbei defeat, and completely lose......
Anyway, no matter what, after the two armies fought for nearly an hour, when the bloodthirsty attack of the Xianbei people was still increasing, after a long battle, the recruits of the Han army finally could not withstand the strong pressure of this war, so the morale of Shangguan who killed the soldiers and stabilized quickly faded.
Until the front of a Han army, the Xiliang soldiers who faced the Xianbei army head-on, seemed to have forgotten his bold words before the army, and after retreating, more people began to retreat, one or two...... Right down to a bunch of people.
The soldiers who can stick to their positions are becoming fewer and fewer, even if those lieutenants Sima killed several retreating soldiers in a row, it was still fruitless, and it was difficult to hide the decline of the army in the front row. Even in Yang Aruo's team, there was a fellow villager who joined the army with him, and he chose his life between life and affection, ignoring the disbelief between his fellow villagers, and turned around and fled with other fleeing soldiers.
When Yang Aruo wanted to stop it, it was too late, the other party had already run away, in this regard, Yang Aruo could only shake his head, and after secretly scolding this guy for being ruthless, he also cursed him for having no brains. After all, on the open plain, when the infantry encounters the cavalry, only by lining up in a dense formation and fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of life, if you turn around and run away like him, it can only be self-destruction, the reason is very simple, after all, a two-legged one can never run faster than four legs.
At this moment, the situation of the entire Han army is also precarious, with the retreat of most of the soldiers of the front army, even the crossbowmen with the middle army and the rear army and the reserve soldiers who replaced the front army are also unstable. Until those red-eyed Xianbei iron horsemen pierced into the remnants of the Han army in front of the Han army because of the rout and flight of the soldiers like tigers into a flock, the sharp scimitars in their hands were like harvesters, harvesting the panicked Han people in front of them under their war horses, which seemed to indicate that a bloody massacre was about to begin!
Zhang Huan of the Han Army witnessed all this coldly, although he was not too sure about the outcome of this battle, but he never thought that this recruit would be defeated so completely. Because from the time he was ready to lead to a decisive battle with Lian, he had estimated the strength of both the enemy and us, and in his opinion, there were few soldiers under Helian, as long as the Han army held on to the formation, and then relied on the bow and crossbow and numerical advantage to grind with the opponent, even if it was grinding people's heads, it should also consume the Xianbei people.
However, Zhang Huan didn't think about it, although the strength of this Xianbei army was less than that of the Han army, but they were the Xianbei elite who remained under the hundred battles after the Xianbei civil strife and the Han army's attack on Xianbei, even if there were many supplementary Xianbei recruits, but this was not Zhang Huan's hastily assembled, and the training was comparable to the combat strength of the recruits who had been trained for less than two months.
Originally, if the infantry had to rely on the army formation to resist the cavalry charge, in addition to experience, it was just a will that needed to be tempered for a long time, but it was obvious that the recruits under Zhang Huan obviously did not have this will.
Therefore, this battle will be defeated from the beginning, but this time, it is Zhang Huan's Xiliang New Army.
