Chapter 490: Death under the Fire Horse
The long horn horn sounded under the White Mountain, and outside the Han army camp, with the order of Helian, nearly 20,000 Xianbei iron horsemen surged.
Seeing life and death, all of a sudden, Duan sang loudly in his Xiliang accent with a mournful voice: "How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear...... "Xiliang is the hometown of the pre-Qin and Qin countries, and Duan's hometown is also located in the border of the old Qin, although it has gone through the Qin and Han dynasties for hundreds of years, but this "Book of Poetry, Qin Feng has no clothes", and it has always been the favorite of Xiliang men. Because from the pre-Qin period to the present, those who shed their blood for this land, conquered the four yi, and expanded China have never lacked their Xizhou athletes, perhaps knowing the last moment of his life, this famous Han general couldn't help but sing.
Duan's desolate Xizhou accent suddenly aroused the grief and indignation of countless Xizhou men in the Han army, and I saw that gradually many Xiliang soldiers who heard Duan's accent also shouted in their hometown accent: "How can you say that you have no clothes?" with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child. How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son. ”
One, two...... Until all, from the Kansai people to the Kwantung people, the Han army all sang spontaneously and angrily, while using all kinds of weapons in their hands to fight to the death with the Xianbei soldiers and horses in front of them. They supported each other and were determined to defend the camp until they could no longer wield their swords or sing a single song in a language they were familiar with......
After nearly 20,000 troops of the Xianbei army stormed the Han army camp for several minutes, the Han army camp was unexpectedly declared lost, and the remaining Han troops in the camp were led by the main general Duan to contact the enemy with hand-to-hand combat.
In a short instant, hundreds of Xianbei cavalry broke through the wooden walls of the camp, and then broke through the camp where the Han army could not effectively resist because of its numbers, and then rode their horses straight into the camp and killed wantonly.
At the same time, after ordering the Han army behind the camp to resist the Kebineng Department to the death, after glancing at the front of the village, Sima Panjun of the Han army threw the torches that had been prepared around him to the ground.
Suddenly, I only heard a "bang", the fire rose from behind the camp, and in the scorching fire, the remaining Han soldiers had a touch of determination, and those Xianbei cavalry who saw the fire and were immediately frightened and ready to flee, did the final death.
"Ahh
"Extinguish the fire!"
"Help!"
……
After only a few moments of effort, the Xianbei soldiers who were bubbling with flames on their bodies and constantly tried to extinguish the fire with various things around them were screaming in the Han military camp, but it was obvious that not only them, but any Xianbei soldiers in the Han army camp at this moment were unable to protect themselves, how could they estimate whether other comrades were worried about their lives.
Most of them could only roll on the ground by themselves in the end, or simply run out of the camp, and then run and roll around in the Xianbei soldiers outside the camp with their whole bodies blazing, like a burning man, begging for mercy and help......
Moreover, the most shocking thing for the Xianbei people is that batches of war horses with fire at the tail seem to be crazy, from the Han military camp, facing the Xianbei cavalry who rushed into the Han army camp on horseback, as if only the open gate of the Han army camp is the destination of their lives.
All of a sudden, the formation of the Xianbei cavalry was scattered, and some of them were hit by these crazy war horses of the Han army because of their crotch horses, and one of them had an unstable footing, fell to the ground, and finally was unlucky and was swallowed up by the fire on the ground. What's more, he or the war horse under his crotch was directly cut by the sword on the thigh of some horses, fell to the ground, lost too much blood, and finally was engulfed by the fire, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
For the Xianbei soldiers who had already rushed into the camp, those ownerless war horses that charged outward completely blocked the door of the Han army's camp, and they wanted to escape from the Han army's burning camp, so they could only find another way, and there was the entanglement of the Han army's undead soldiers in the camp who wanted to die with them, which undoubtedly delayed time and made them more likely to face the invasion of the fire.
Those ownerless war horses with their buttocks on fire were all thousands of war horses that were left in the original Han army camp and could not be taken away by the Han army, Duan ordered the camp to be burned and nothing was left for the Xianbei people, and after seeing these Han army war horses, he did not order the slaughter of these horses.
On the contrary, because I thought of a famous example, that is, when the pre-Qin Qi country was in danger, the famous general Tian Dan adhered to Jimo, and later concentrated more than 1,000 cattle, with sharp blades tied to the horns, soaked in oil reeds at the tail, and dressed in colorful dragon pattern coats. Yan Jun was terrified when he saw the monsters with swords on the countless horns in the firelight, and the monsters that were on fire rushed straight towards them. The warriors of the Qi army took advantage of the situation to rush and kill, the soldiers and civilians in the city followed closely to help the battle, the Yan army took the road to flee for their lives, trampled on each other, and the main general of the Yan army was killed in the chaos. Tian Dan led the army to pursue the victory, and the people of Qi also helped the war with weapons, and soon expelled the Yan army from the country, recovering more than 70 cities of lost land, and Tian Dan also welcomed the prince Tian Fazhang back to Linzi to restore the country, and was enthroned as the king of Qi Xiang, and Tian Dan was also named "Anping Jun".
Therefore, after seeing the tails of those horses, Duan thought of Tiandan's "Fire Bull Array", so he immediately ordered a wave of "Fire Horse Array" to fight back according to the "Fire Bull Array", even if he died, he would also let the Xianbei people drink a pot.
Therefore, at this moment, the tails of these running horses are filled with flammable materials such as straw soaked in fire oil, and some horses also have some sharp swords on their legs, which are inserted horizontally, intending to use the impact of the horse to cut off the waist of the enemy in front of them, or the thigh of the horse, so that the other party can fall off the horse, which can be described as vicious.
"Damn! I didn't think that the Han army was so cunning, and they all died together, the horsetail was on fire, and it was as vicious as ...... "Outside the Han army camp, in front of the Xianbei formation, He Lian waved his fist fiercely at the air, obviously only a few hundred people could be injured to solve the remnants of the Han army, but in the end, I didn't expect to have to take a few hundred more people, such a loss for no reason, no one will be happy."
Of course, these "fire horses" may be effective against the hundreds of Xianbei cavalry in the camp at the moment, but for the Xianbei soldiers outside the camp, they only need to gallop their horses and avoid these deadly "fire horses". After all, Tiandan's "Fire Ox Array" was able to succeed back then, and it was also because of the Yan army's establishment of a fortress to defend the country, if it was replaced by a grassland people, it only needed to ride horses to reasonably avoid those crazy livestock, and there would not be much danger.
The "Fire Horse" is finally in the past, and when the Xianbei army regrouped, He Lian watched the Han army camp that had stood in front of the Xianbei army for several days slowly turn into ashes in a fire, and the feeling of joy in his heart was still indescribable.
After all, this battle was not too much under his command, and the soldiers and horses controlled by the leader of the power contenders in the Xianbei Alliance, Bu Dugen, had been weakened by him in various ways, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of the two were now only a few thousand, and he himself still had nearly 20,000 elites left. These soldiers and horses are enough for him to consolidate himself with the greatest advantage, and after unifying Xianbei, he will slowly develop, and then after accumulating strength, he will revive the great cause of his father Tanshi Huai again.
In the Han army camp, there is no complete soldier at this moment, they are all Xianbei people who have no time to escape, and there are Han soldiers who are already determined to die, full of fire, but laughing wildly.
At this time, these Han soldiers were like devils in the eyes of the Xianbei soldiers outside the camp who were not affected by the fire, these grassland people were afraid for the first time, they didn't understand, how could anyone laugh so crazy even if they were burned by the fire, it was completely incredible. Perhaps, tonight, most of these Xianbei soldiers may not sleep well, because in their dreams, they will only see the devilish smile of the Han army.
Under the fire, whether Han or Xianbei, their lichens, robes, animal skins and hair burned, and the soldiers and war horses who had not yet breathed were constantly rolling and struggling in the sea of fire, and from time to time let out bursts of terrible howls, which were terrifying to hear, and in less than a moment, the air began to waft with the smell of barbecue.
In addition, because of the long-term moxibustion and roasting of the fire, most of the fragile wooden camp walls were also burned. Finally, the wooden walls of the camp, which had been damaged countless times in the war, could no longer bear the heavy pressure, and collapsed one after another, kicking up smoke and dust all over the sky, and then, the wooden wall also burned with the fire and turned to ashes.
After that, the fire situation intensified, and the choking smoke and red fire continued to spread in the Han military camp, and soon swallowed everyone. The entire Han military camp soon became a burning furnace, but what was quenched in the furnace was only steel, but what was burned here was people, living people!
The fire gradually rises to the sky, and when it reaches a high point, it slowly weakens until it is extinguished. Time passed quickly, and when the fire of the Han army camp completely disappeared with the wind, He Lian immediately led a group of Xianbei soldiers to the Han army camp that had become a ruined place to investigate.
The smell of smoke was permeated, mixed with the extremely hot autumn wind, which made Helian, who was in it, seem to stay in the middle of summer, and after ordering his soldiers to search carefully, Xianbei finally found nothing.
Obviously, the fire of the Han army did not leave much valuable things for the Xianbei people at all, and even wanted to use the corpses of the Han army's stubborn generals to whip the corpses, but they ended up because they couldn't find a complete Han army's corpse. In the camp, whether it is the Han army or the Xianbei army, their corpses are burned a lot because of the fire at this moment, and it is difficult to identify them at all.
Of course, for He Lian, the only good thing is that he and Kebi, the Xianbei general who was arranged by him to make a detour to Baishan after the camp, can join him.
Although Kebi can be regarded as a lot of people, and he can't break through the Han army camp at the same time as the scheduled time, but after all, in the final analysis, the withdrawal of the Han army is largely due to Kebi Neng's attack from the rear of the Han army camp.
Even no matter how stupid the Xianbei people are, they also know the merits of Kebineng, so after he Lian praised Kebineng well, he promoted Kebineng to the leader of his own soldiers, led his soldiers to defend himself, and even promised to add 200 slaves to his tribe as a reward.
It's just that when thousands of horsemen lost their armor and the Xianbei cavalry with scattered formations ran to die, and the Han army had reinforcements, the Han army that broke through and fled last night defeated 10,000 Xianbei horsemen together with the Han army reinforcements, and the Xianbei main general Murong Ba was also captured by the Han army, and the good mood of Helian suddenly disappeared......
In the end, after figuring out the details of the Han army's reinforcements, He Lian and the remaining noble leaders in the army, after some discussion, quickly gathered the soldiers who were still inside and outside the Han army camp, looking for booty, and marched straight to the north.
At this moment, the Xianbei army has just experienced this big battle against the Han camp, losing nearly half of the troops, and the Han army's bows and crossbows are fierce, and the number is unknown, so it can no longer fight hard with the Han army, and it is not fully grasped, and even he does not dare to make decisions easily.
After noon, outside the Han army camp that has become a ruin, once again ushered in a group of thousands of cavalry, most of them are dressed in bloody clothes, some people are in extremely bad spirits, it seems that they have not closed their eyes well for several days, under the leadership of the banner of "Fu" and "Ma" at the front, this cavalry is naturally a mixed Han army of Fuquan and Ma Teng, at this moment they are staring blankly at the Han army camp that has been turned into ruins for a long time.
Seeing this devastated image, Fu Quan took a deep breath, the air was filled with suffocating heat, although it looked like the fire had been burned for a long time, but his face could still clearly feel the scorching heat. It can be imagined how scorching the Han military camp should have been set on fire, and what kind of pain the people in the depths of the fire should endure.
Thinking of the Han army under his command being reduced to ashes under the Great Han, Fu Quan felt a kind of unbearable in his heart, after all, although these Han generals who were left to guard the camp by themselves could no longer get on their horses to break through, but if they didn't have a voluntary idea in their hearts, how could they stay and die for other Han troops?
Tian Dan, Qi Zhutian Shu also ...... Tian Dan is to collect more than 1,000 cattle in the city, for the silk clothes, painted with colorful dragon text, the blade is tied to its horns, and the grease bundle reed is at the tail, and its end is burned. Dozens of holes were dug in the city, cattle were ridden at night, and 5,000 strong men followed. The oxtail was hot, and he ran to the Yan army in anger, and the Yan army was frightened at night. The oxtail torch was bright and flaunting, and the Yan army regarded it as a dragon, and all the dead and wounded were touched. Five thousand people struck it because of the title, and the city clamoured from it, and the old and weak all struck the bronze for the sound, and the sound moved the heavens and the earth. The Yan army was horrified and defeated. The Qi people then razed and killed their generals. The Yan army was disturbed and ran, the Qi people chased the death to the north, the cities and towns were all on the side of the Yan and returned to Tiandan, the soldiers were more and more numerous, the victory was taken, the Yan day was defeated, and died on the river, and more than 70 cities of Qi were restored to Qi. It is to welcome the king of Xiang Yu Ju, and listen to the government.
