Chapter 506: A Hundred Years of Peace in Northern Xinjiang
Under the snowfall in October, the Han army and the Xianbei army met in a narrow way, and the enemy was outnumbered, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for the Han army under Fuquan.
When the two armies met, He Lian saw that the Han army was weak, and he didn't give the Han army a chance to prepare at all, so he let more than 20,000 horsemen remain after the big battle under his command and killed the Han army together.
"If you don't attack it now, you will die, life and death, in one move, kill!" Seeing this, Fu Quan did not hesitate at all, drew the long sword in his hand and shouted.
"Killing ......" Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan and others all shouted wildly, took the lead, and were willing to be pioneers.
"Kill the ......" nearly 10,000 Han cavalry roared like thunder, and the ground exploded, although among the Han army, there were many Xiliang recruits, and they were afraid in the face of several times the enemy, but there were the leading soldiers of the main generals of each department, they were fearless for a while, wielding the weapons in their hands and slashing and killing.
Now there is no opportunity for him to think of ways to deal with the Xianbei people, and the situation is critical, it is impossible for the Han army to escape, and the only way is to fight hard with the Xianbei people.
When the brave wins on the narrow road, when there is still a fight, you have to fight to the death!
The whole army of the Han cavalry suddenly turned into a conical formation, piercing the heart of Xianbei without hesitation, advancing at an astonishing speed.
On the front side was Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 Youzhou cavalry, followed by the remnants of Fuquan's original army, and finally most of Ma Teng's Xiliang army. This is the formation that Fu Quan is thinking about may not be perfect, but it is undoubtedly the most effective charging formation in a short period of time.
Of course, it is only the arrangement of the formation, which is obviously not the safest, and the same is carried out by the Xiliang army in the last position of the Han army, after they were instructed, while riding their horses, but when they were about to fight against the Xianbei people, they shouted loudly in Hu language: "The Xianbei camp has been breached, and you should surrender quickly!" ”
The Xianbei army suddenly had a commotion, but now that the situation was critical, there was no chance to think about it at all, and soon they continued to shout and comfort themselves, shouting that it was the Han army's plan to disturb the enemy, and continued to charge forward.
Under the snowflakes, the rumbling horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and the two armies seemed to be stepping on the snow, and after they were all within the range of the arrows in their hands, they picked up their bows and arrows and shot at each other.
The knights of the two armies rode forward, their eyes were cold, thousands of riding bows were neatly pointed at the sky, and the faint arrow clusters emitted a cold light unique to metal, and the murderous aura was compelling.
"Shoot ......"
"Buzz ......"
This sound, which seemed to exist since ancient times, became the main theme of the world in an instant, and thousands of long arrows turned into streamers, like meteor showers that crossed into the opposing camp.
For a time, there were casualties on both sides, and many soldiers of the Han army and the Xianbei army fell to the ground screaming after being shot by feather arrows, and many of the war horses were also hit by arrows. In a panic, they bummered around, whether they were of the same kind or human, crashing and flying...... Until death, bloody, indifferent, and unsympathetic humanity continues to play out here, and some are only charging and killing.
"Woo! Woo! Woo......"
Under the long horn, the Han army was inspired by this, and the cries were boiling, shouting to kill the ears, and the Xianbei people on the other side fought for their lives.
Under the disparity between soldiers and horses, at this moment, either the Han army was defeated or the Xianbei people died, and a few days ago, the possibility of a draw between the Xianbei and Zhang Huan could only be a bitter battle for the Han army.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
"Kill ......"
Countless horses of the two armies collided, and the shouts of the soldiers were endless, and Gongsun Zhan, who was the first to rush into the Xianbei camp, was enthusiastic about killing the Xianbei Hu people.
I saw that his eyes were red, and he skillfully borrowed the power of the white horse under his crotch to gallop, piercing one person with a spear in his hand, picking up and smashing three or four people, his unique spear with blades at both ends, wielding sharply, slashing left and right, every attack, will form a sharp roar, piercing the opponent's head and body, and cutting it.
Gongsun Zhan rushed very quickly, facing a well-armored person head-on, this person was surrounded by countless guards, and there was no doubt that he was a Xianbei nobleman. Seeing that the generals of the Han army were so strong, the Xianbei nobleman immediately ordered the surrounding guards to surround him, wanting to encircle and kill him.
Seeing that there were more Xianbei cavalry around, Gongsun Zhan shouted violently, like a thunderbolt, jumped forward on his side horse, and then aimed at the neck of the Xianbei nobleman and stabbed hard. In a moment, the tip of the spear, dripping with enemy blood, drew a bright red arc in the air, and pierced deeply into the opponent's throat.
One hit kills!
"Ah......" looked at the opposite Han general to kill the leader like a cow and a sheep, the guards were furious, and countless scimitars fell on him, and they wanted to take Gongsun Zhan's life and avenge the leader.
In this regard, Gongsun Zhan was not afraid, and the big iron halberd swung out horizontally, and a series of gold and iron resonances exploded, swinging all the weapons pointed at him one by one.
Those Xianbei soldiers and guards, without exception, were shocked by the huge impact and leaned back, the middle door was wide open, and their faces showed horror and horror, what kind of arm strength is this, is the other party possessed by the gods?
Until a Xianbei person who had fought with Gongsun Zhan shouted in Hu language: "That's the Han people's 'White Horse Long History'!" "A word came out, everyone was shocked, Gongsun Chan was the governor of Liaodong Historian, with dozens of Han cavalry, and defeated hundreds of Xianbei cavalry outside the Saiwai, and even after that, he continued to defeat Xianbei soldiers, so that Xianbei cavalry did not dare to haunt it, and Gongsun Zhan was also one of the generals who beheaded Tan Shihuai that year, this reputation is enough for most of Xianbei's soldiers not to easily approach him.
A black light flew among the snowflakes, and a sad howl came into his ears, and a smile of enjoyment appeared on Gongsun Zhan's face, he liked the bloody battlefield and the unscrupulous killing. Of course, because of his background experience, in his heart, he prefers to get the highest position of power, so he must continue to make military exploits and keep climbing upward.
At this moment, Gongsun Zhan has led the forward three thousand Youzhou assault cavalry, rushing to the hinterland of Xianbei, thinking of the pre-battle arrangement of Fuquan, he looked up and saw the Xianbei Daxu in the distance, where it was not surprising that it was the big tent of the Chinese army of Helian, and it was also the key to the victory of the Han army.
"Chief Hu and Lian are here, gentlemen, kill!" Gongsun Zhan's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, and then held a spear and took the lead in attacking Helian.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
The Youzhou Raider, who had been fighting with the Xianbei people all the year round, shouted vigorously, and then controlled the horse and followed the main general to charge. Even though he knew that there were still several times as many soldiers and horses in front of him, he still didn't care, because this was their Youzhou Assault Cavalry, the elite soldiers of the northern part of the Han Dynasty who had the king's order and swore to charge to the death.
Standing behind the Han army, Fu Quan looked at the three thousand Youzhou cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and sighed in his heart, when Emperor Guangwu praised the Youzhou cavalry as "the world's elite soldiers", what he said was true, looking at this cavalry that was not afraid of death, you can also think of Liu Xiu's mood when he saw the two thousand elite cavalry charging scene led by the general Jing Dan when he attacked Julu.
Even if Fuquan was in Youzhou in the past, he had never seen such a powerful Youzhou cavalry, and I think that in addition to the reason why the Han army did not give full play to the full strength of the Youzhou cavalry since it relied on the foot soldiers, there was also the reason why Gongsun Zhan continued to train after he took charge of the army. At this time, Fuquan also seemed to see the shadow of the "White Horse General" who could compete with Yuan Shao for hegemony in the north in history.
Seeing that Gongsun Zhan's troops were advancing as planned, the rest of the generals of the Han army led their troops to accompany them, and even generals such as Huang Zhong and Guan Yu led the left and right soldiers to break away from the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and help Gongsun Zhan go, after all, no matter how elite the soldiers are, it is difficult to exert their morale if there is no good general blessing.
When the fierce generals of the Han army attacked Helian together, the injured Helian was suddenly shocked, seeing that the Han army was under several fierce generals of the Han army that he was familiar with, rushing for his life, the hideousness on his face was extremely clear, and he looked like he was not dying, which made his scalp numb for a while, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop the Han people, stop the Han people......
Thousands of Xianbei soldiers immediately assembled, and protected Helian and Xianbei Daxu in the center and fought hard. However, regardless of the casualties, the Han army only attacked but did not defend, wielding a knife to cut down all the living creatures that stood in the way, opening a bloody road, almost splitting the Xianbei army in two.
Seeing Xianbei's reaction in front of him, Gongsun Chan continued to shout: "Kill...... Cut down Xianbei Daxu and kill Chief Hu ......"
Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and the others who came later immediately went crazy, that was the Xianbei hypocrite, kill him, even if he dies in battle, what's the matter? Even Guan Yu, who had already slashed Tanshi Huai, the father of Helian, was still excited in his heart, perhaps this was the strong combat attribute possessed by a natural fierce general.
"Kill ......" The cavalry of the Han army mustered up their strength, launched a decisive assault, and killed Xianbei Daxu in one go, and killed Helian and the Xianbei guards around him.
Gongsun Zhan broke through very quickly, his horse was in a hurry, and he stabbed through three people in a row, the moves were endless, the strength was strange, the momentum was like a tiger going down the mountain, the blocker was invincible, and he entered the front of the body in a few breaths, and the spear was stabbed.
Helian's force was acceptable, after all, he was the heir of Tan Shihuai's careful cultivation since childhood, and he never lacked the courage to fight when necessary, but he was already an old wound that had not healed, and he could only barely defend with a knife at the moment, but he kept defending, and there would be a mistake after all.
In a few moments, only Gongsun Zhan opened his mouth wide, shouted "death", the eagle eyes locked on Helian, and then waved the spear, when the blood shone brightly, a mouthful of blood arrow spewed out from Helian's mouth, and the spear in his hand had pierced deeply into his neck.
Looking at Helian, who had died in his hands, Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but be ecstatic and shouted: "Helian is dead, the Xianbei camp has been broken by the Han army, and you won't return to surrender yet......"
At this moment, Gongsun Chan seemed to want to make up for the good opportunity he missed to confer the first Tanshi Huai, but when he saw that his face showed a bad face, he was about to behead Helian, not wanting a feather arrow to hit his shoulder, which penetrated his body very deeply, which immediately made him scream in pain, and barely pulled the reins into the reins, so as to ensure that he did not fall to the ground immediately.
Stopping his body, Gongsun Zhan looked for the direction of the arrow, but saw that a soldier beside Helian was collecting a bow to kill, and he couldn't help but be shocked, he was injured, and it was difficult to exert his strength at the moment, how could he resist the attack of the Xianbei cavalry? What's more, not only the Xianbei cavalry, but also the other cavalry beside Helian at this moment, after seeing Helian dead, they all looked at Gongsun Chan with fierce eyes, abandoned the enemy in their hands, and killed Gongsun Chan directly.
"Kill the ......" when Qianjun was fired, I saw a big horse flying into the air, and then the halberd in his hand was waved continuously, and in a few moments, he saw several blood mist splashing, and the Xianbei cavalry beside Gongsun Zhan suddenly fell to the ground, leaving them to fall to the ground, and the blood on their bodies snorted and scurried.
"Thank you Hansheng!" Gongsun Zhan saw the rescuer and hurriedly thanked him, but there was no doubt that the person was Huang Zhong who had rushed to support.
"No thanks!" Huang Zhong replied, and then used the halberd in his hand to wave at the head of Helian on the ground, several operations, after separating its head, he stabbed it with a halberd, took it in his hand, and shouted with his head: "Helian is dead, Helian is dead......
"Helian is dead, Helian is dead...... the remnants of the Han army all raised their troops and roared.
From the attack on Wang Lang will be equal to Nan Hong, Lang soldiers to fight, the Han army retreated, Dan and other vertical cavalry attack, big break, chase more than ten miles, the dead and wounded from the horizontal. Dan also, the ancestor said: "I heard that the elite soldiers of the world are riding suddenly, and now I see their battles, and I am happy to say evil?" ”
