Chapter 684: Whose Hand Is the Deer Dead?
Han Sui's military department, although he wears Hanfu, but after many years in the Western Regions, Han Sui inevitably has some Hu decorations, but he looks a little nondescript.
Of course, it is not only Han Sui who is like this, it can be said that the entire Han soldiers and horses who fled from Liangzhou to the Western Regions have been in the Western Regions for so many years, and they must have inevitably been infected with some customs and clothing habits of the Hu people in the Western Regions.
"General, watching the traitor's brother use soldiers, he is also very human, this battle may be ......" Ko Sheng looked at dealing with his own bed crossbow, very freely, tactically dealing with the Fude army without flaws, and said to Han Sui beside him worriedly.
As for the so-called traitors in the mouth of Lu Sheng, naturally refers to Fuquan, although Han Sui and they were defeated by Fuquan after rebelling against the Han Dynasty and fled into the Western Regions, but after entering the Western Regions, they used the name of traitors, but they were traitors.
Since ancient times, the use of troops to fight must be famous, and since Han Sui wants to establish a foothold in the Western Regions and establish a regime that belongs to him, of course he must have his own name.
Therefore, when he came to the land outside the territory, Han Sui was shameless to control the Han as a traitor, and they needed to wait for the opportunity, and now that Fuquan came to power, he was naturally reprimanded by Han Sui as a traitor.
Looking at the Han cavalry that was still out of range of the bed crossbow and scattered in all directions, Han Sui was not surprised and said: "Order the cavalry on both wings to guard the army formation, intercept the Han cavalry, and be sure to drag until the reinforcements from the Western Regions countries arrive." ”
"No!"
Lu Sheng responded, and went down to give orders, leaving Han Sui alone, looking at the Han cavalry sprinting in front of him and frowning.
In fact, Han Sui issued a war letter three days ago, which was naturally premeditated, and before the Han army entered the Western Regions, he had already received the news of the detailed work he arranged in the Han Dynasty. After all, in order to give him Fude's might, Fuquan swore directly outside the city of Luoyang, unless he was deaf, otherwise the entire Han Dynasty probably knew that the imperial court was going to conquer the Western Regions.
Therefore, before the two armies lined up later, Han Sui had already sent envoys to other countries in the Western Regions to lobby, and those countries in the Western Regions were deeply afraid that Fuquan would allow the Han army to replicate their previous atrocities against foreign races, so they naturally weighed one or two, and each sent troops and horses to form a coalition to rescue Han Sui, but it all took time, according to expectations, they should arrive before noon today.
And after Han Sui made an appointment to fight for three days, it was naturally to wait for his reinforcements to come today, and as for showing the bed crossbow used by his infantry in advance, it was just Han Sui's intention.
After all, after seeing the power of stirrups and horseshoes, Han Sui knew that with the soldiers and horses he had accumulated over the years, he had basically no chance of winning against tens of thousands of Han horsemen. Even if he had dozens of bed crossbows that he had saved over the years, it was obvious that if the Han army spelled out a loss and fought him to the death, he still couldn't win.
Therefore, Han Sui came up with this plan, he deliberately wrote a war letter with Fu De, and today he should have shown the bed crossbow that should have been shown when the Han army was charging, which can cause effective damage, in order to make Fu De throw a mouse trap, force him to change his tactics, scatter his troops and fight with himself, in this way, the battle time can be greatly delayed, and they can only survive until victory by delaying time.
After all, although over the years, Han Sui relied on the skilled craftsmen of the countries in the Western Regions captured in the Western Regions, coupled with the soldiers who escaped together and used bed crossbows to dictate the appearance of bed crossbows, and finally tried to produce dozens of bed crossbows. But these bed crossbows are copycats after all, and many places deviate from the Han army's standard bed crossbows Han army, so whether it is performance, power and durability, they are not as good as the Han army's bed crossbows.
Moreover, the Han army used the bed crossbow array, all of which were used in combination with the continuous fire short crossbow and the longbow to give full play to the maximum power of the infantry formation, but it was obvious that the Han Sui army, whose ordnance had been strictly controlled by Fuquan, did not have so many repeating crossbows at all, and relying on the bow and arrow alone, it was obvious that it could not create the kind of firepower net to protect the bed crossbow.
Once the enemy army is desperately charged, if these long-range firepower cannot be effective enough to suppress the enemy cavalry, then the continuous enemy cavalry will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the infantry side.
Therefore, it can be said that from the time Volde accepted the war letter, to the present, Han Sui took the initiative to show the bed crossbow, making the general scuffle, everything has long been in Han Sui's calculations.
It's just that although Han Sui's scheming is powerful, even he is not sure whether he can defeat the Han army this time.
Originally, Han Suijun had some subordinates who advised everyone that their strength was small, and it was better to surrender directly to the Han if they couldn't defeat the Han army. It's just that for Han Sui, who is not ambitious, he absolutely did not surrender as a last resort, and gave up what he had worked hard so far.
"Drumming...... Kill ......"
"Knock knock ......"
Facing the big banner of "Han" hanging high in the distance and flying in the wind, the generals of Han Sui's army really had no bottom in their hearts, but the thunderous war drums behind them kept pushing them forward, telling them to move forward, forward, forward, forward......
The Han army in front, wearing a horseshoe war horse, brought out bursts of deafening sounds, war drums thundered, and the ground shook the mountains.
As the front army in the west of the Han army, Zhang Liao took the lead, led his thousands of cavalry, and went straight to the rear of Han Sui's army according to Fude's order.
The other Han cavalry in front of them were distributed on both sides, and Zhang Liao deeply agreed with this four-sided encirclement plan. After all, when the Han army came out of the fortress, every soldier was precious, and if they learned from those Hu cavalry who could only rush into battle, I am afraid that even if they could defeat Han Sui's army, they themselves estimated that they would suffer a lot of losses.
Undoubtedly, this is the last thing that the Han army in this conquest of the Western Regions wants to experience, because if the Han army is constantly consumed, I am afraid that they may not have the strength to continue to conquer and annex the Western Regions.
"Kill!"
When the Han army surrounded Han Sui's army step by step, the cavalry that had been arranged by Han Sui on both flanks rushed straight up and fought against them.
The two sides fought inextricably, because the Han army chose to divide the troops in order to prevent Han Sui's bed crossbow from causing them greater damage, which also led to the Han army, which originally had an advantage in the number of cavalry, after dividing the troops, was actually used by the Han Sui army to take advantage of the advantage of local forces and completely defuse the largest possible offensive of the Han army.
Moreover, the nearly 10,000 horsemen under the command of Han Sui are also equipped with horseshoes and stirrups, and in terms of combat power, there will not be too much gap with the Han army.
Zhang Liao was also blocked by Han Sui's army on the way, and when he saw the enemy rushing towards him, he did not continue to walk to the rear of Han Sui's army, but directly led his troops and horses. Play against the enemy.
I saw that Zhang Liao rushed the most fiercely, led his troops to rush into the encirclement of the enemy cavalry, swept thousands of troops with the long knife in his hand, and between the lightning and flint, accompanied by two blood gushing out like a fountain, he saw that the heads of the two exotic Hu tribes were thrown up in unison and jumped into the air.
And Zhang Liao's troops followed, and immediately continued to rush forward in a cone formation, and the front was overwhelming, directly scattering the nearly 100 people who were fighting with them. Then, the other cavalry under Zhang Liao's command, who arrived later, also swarmed and dispersed, fighting against the cavalry of Han Sui's army, whose formation had been disorganized.
However, tens of thousands of cavalry were crowded into one field, making the originally empty land of alien wind and sand suddenly become very cramped, even though the Han army had many cavalry on the periphery, but it could not quickly kill these annoying Han Sui cavalry.
The battle outside was scorching, but the infantry formation inside Han Sui's army was quiet, and the cavalry of the Han army were out of the range of bows and crossbows at the moment in order to encircle themselves, which made those infantry useless.
Seeing that their cavalry was being eaten away by the Han army little by little, many Han Sui soldiers who did not know the plan were anxious, but they were helpless because of the distance.
And their main general, Han Sui, looked at everything that happened outside the formation with a gloomy face, these cavalry were originally cannon fodder that he used to delay time, Han Sui never thought that even if the cavalry under his command was equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, he could fight hard with the Han army, after all, most of his soldiers were only recruited for a short time, and he expected them to fight those weak soldiers in the Western Regions, but against the elite Han cavalry drawn from Fuquan, there was no luck in a head-on decisive battle, so it was best to keep them as cannon fodder to delay time.
The war was slowly deduced, and after Zhang Liaobu wiped out the Han Sui cavalry that was blocking them, he turned around and continued to march in their original direction, facing the bed crossbow that might destroy his entire army, he would definitely not ignore the lives of his soldiers.
I don't know how long it took, the red sun on the horizon had illuminated the earth clearly, and the Han cavalry didn't know how long it had been delayed, and finally killed all those difficult Han Sui cavalry, leaving no prisoners and deserters.
Accompanied by the Han army, which numbered more than 22,000 horsemen, divided into four divisions with thousands of people each, they surrounded Han Sui's army from all directions.
Behind the Han army, Fu De looked at the thousands of corpses of the Han army that fell to the ground, his face was gloomy, although the Han army eliminated the enemy cavalry with a nearly one-to-four victory ratio, but this was obviously not worth it for the Han army.
After all, those cavalry under Han Sui's command were all recruits who had not experienced many hard battles, so how could they compare with the elite cavalry under his command? Even if these fallen Han soldiers can still rescue some people by cleaning up the battlefield, it is still a great loss for Fude.
It's just that, no matter what, Han Sui, the biggest scourge he has conquered in the Western Regions, Fu De said that he will completely eliminate it, even if he has a few thousand horsemen left in the end, it doesn't matter.
Think about it, Han Sui can rely on less than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers to break out of today's huge family business, even if he only has thousands of elite horsemen under his command, but he can only have territory, and recruit the Western Regions as cannon fodder, and then there is the big man behind him for assistance, Fu De does not believe that he can't conquer the Western Regions.
"Order, the whole army will attack, capture the thief head Han Sui, and reward a thousand gold! Lone will ask the court to be a marquis! ”
"Kill!"
……
With Fu De's order, the Han cavalry besieged around Han Sui's army shouted in unison, brandished the weapons in their hands, and charged with blood in their eyes.
"It's finally here." Han Sui smiled coldly, and then ordered: "All departments fight back according to the plan!" ”
The herald kept waving his order flag, only to see that the formation of Han Suijun, which was already very close, immediately contracted even tighter, and then at some point, Han Suijun, who originally looked at the west, south, and north without resistance, suddenly revealed several bed crossbows.
Then, almost at the same time, the Han Sui army on all sides fired long-hidden bed crossbow arrows at the charging Han army, and at the same time, the archers of the Han Sui army also shot feather arrows coldly at the Han army around them after the Han cavalry reached the firing range.
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
Countless long arrows and crossbows, with a piercing roar, intersected with each other, flew to the opposite side, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the clear sky.
The Han cavalry bowed their heads and leaned on the horse's head, burying their heads in the sprint, and people kept falling to the ground, tightening the formation of the Han Sui army, which obviously made the Han cavalry only get closer.
Moreover, the Han Sui army everywhere has a bed crossbow and other big killing weapons, and the damage to the Han army is also greater, rough estimates, just a few rounds of arrow rain, the Han army fell thousands of people, and in such a charging formation, the fate of those Han soldiers can be imagined, basically it is difficult to survive.
However, the good news for the Han army is that the quality of the bed crossbow in Han Suijun's cottage is obviously not high, and there are already several bed crossbows, because of its large pulling force, the crossbow body can't withstand the pulling force, and it actually broke a lot of itself, and it is already unusable.
"Damn! Han Sui's old thief is extremely insidious, and he even hides a bed crossbow! In the rear of the Han army, witnessing the sudden appearance of Han Suijun's bed crossbow on the left and right and in the rear, Fu De scolded, at this moment he finally understood that his brother Fu Quan asked him to be careful of Han Sui, this guy is too scheming.
"General, don't worry, even if Han Sui is tricky, but his army is like this, it is destined to be defeated by me, and when our army's elite cavalry rushes into its formation, the enemy will be defeated!"
Sima Yi on the side hurriedly persuaded, and Fu De calmed down a little after hearing this, and agreed with what he said, after all, the cavalry charging into the infantry formation, only after suffering the rain of arrows from the opponent, can it cause casualties.
In fact, when the cavalry of the Han army charged to their own short range, with the help of stirrups, they shot the feather arrows in their hands in various postures, and continued to shoot at Han Sui's army.
Several tens of thousands of feather arrows in a row shot into their own military formation, which suddenly made Han Sui's army formation, inevitably panicked, and the feather arrows that fell into the military formation in an orderly manner could hit the enemy without aiming at all, and those who did not have armor protection or armor did not count, and suddenly suffered.
At this moment, Han Sui's infantry suddenly suffered casualties for the first time, and the losses were not small, with thousands of people being shot by arrows, either killed or wounded.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and the charging formation that the Han cavalry should have has just staged. Those Han Sui's soldiers who were guarding the periphery of their own army formation, using spears and large shields to form a horse rejection, were all calmly waiting for the upcoming Han cavalry charge at this moment.
"Fude child, don't be proud, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known......" Seeing all this, Han Sui looked at the rear of the Han army opposite, and said coldly.
The people who formed the rejection of horses outside were all composed of the veterans he brought from Liangzhou in the past as the backbone, and they were familiar with Qiang fighting and often fought with cavalry, but they were not easy for the Han army to break the formation.
