Chapter 285: "Begging for Life" to the Sky (Part II)
Infantry vs. cavalry requires sophisticated battle formations, elite armor and weapons, and strong crossbows.
And the exile army has nothing. With their blood and will, they fought tenaciously against the Hun cavalry.
Not for wealth, just for survival.
Thundered......
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Hun cavalry let out a wolf-like howl and raised their sabers, intending to conquer the Han people here in one fell swoop.
Wuyuan Jiang Jun and Shuofang Gao Kai, in dealing with these two Han forces, the Xiongnu paid a lot of price.
The Nanting Xiongnu is not a monolith, and the Marquis of Xubu Gu is looking at the position of Shan Yu, and its prestige is profound, and it is supported by more than 100,000 Xiongnu people.
Under the form of internal worries in Luan Tiqiang Canal, it was impossible for the Xiongnu to mobilize a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the Han army and displaced people.
When the two sides clashed together, the seemingly fierce cavalry was suddenly blocked by the outcasts and could no longer attack.
It stands to reason that the impact of the Hun cavalry could not be blocked by the wandering army at the first time.
But the Wandering Army is also a battle-hardened person, and it also has some skills in dealing with the Hun cavalry, and they are a group of hundreds of people standing shoulder to shoulder, densely packed.
They wore wooden shields and held rudimentary weapons, forming a human wall.
Yes, the exile army almost used its body to block the attack of the Hun cavalry.
One by one, the Han people died under the hooves of the Hun cavalry, and their efforts were to make it difficult for the Hun cavalry to gallop in their only remaining homeland.
As long as the Hun cavalry stopped, they could use their numerical advantage to fight the Huns to the death.
At the moment when the Hun cavalry stopped, the wandering army bent down and cut the horse's leg with a sword.
Some used wooden pipes, hoes, hoes, spears, and ge, to strike at the Hun cavalry on horseback, and they cooperated with each other properly, and this was an elite division.
For food, for life, for self-preservation. In the face of the jackals that attack at any time, they are far from being comparable to the displaced people of the Central Plains who follow the tide.
Hardship and helplessness give them a strong ability to unite. In order to protect their families, they also have to exercise when they don't have enough to eat.
Jiang Jun was only seven feet five inches tall, but he was unusually strong, and his bare arms held spears, and he stabbed several Hun cavalrymen off their horses in succession.
The Xiongnu Qianchang, who led the troops, came to challenge Jiang Jun, but was defeated by Jiang Jun several times, and retreated in embarrassment.
If he hadn't been born in this place of suffering, Jiang Jun's force might not have been able to leave a name in history.
If it weren't for Liu Fan's arrival, the Han people would have been able to completely set foot on this land when they arrived in the Tang Dynasty.
Realizing that the situation was not good, the Xiongnu Qianchang hurriedly ordered the rear army to retreat.
They distanced themselves and were going to strike the outcasts with their bows and arrows.
Jiang Jun knew the tactics of the Xiongnu and had already taken precautions against this.
A huge wooden shield was pushed out by the wandering army, and the wooden shield was wrapped with several layers of thorns to prevent the strong bows of the Hun cavalry from piercing the shield.
The Wanderers crouched behind a giant shield with a giant shield on their heads.
Whether the Hun cavalry fired a projectile or a direct shot, the lethality caused to the wandering army was very limited.
Just when the Xiongnu Qianchang again ordered a surprise attack, there was a burst of dust in the east.
A group of cavalry in white armor rushed towards the area.
"The movement of the clouds is not for the opening of the sky, not for the thunder, not for the frost."
A neat slogan came, the number of people was small, but it shook the earth.
"It's not good, it's the Han army!"
The Huns screamed loudly.
Why is there still a Han army here? Shouldn't the Han army be in Beidi County, Xihe County, and Hedong County?
Although there were not many Han cavalry that appeared, it was outside their plans.
To fight or not to fight?
In a flash, the Han army had reached a hundred paces away. They already had to fight.
At this time, the Han army took out an iron-tired bow and shot at their Hun cavalry.
The powerful iron-tired hard bow, coupled with the superb archery skills of the Cangyun scouts, caused dozens of Hun cavalry to fall off their horses.
"Kill all the Hu people!"
Shi Ah put down his bow and arrows, drew his sword and killed the Xiongnu.
They passed through Dingxiang and the clouds, and came to the Five Plains. Naturally, it is impossible to get here all the way.
With only 100 men, they broke through many encirclements and chases, killing and wounding hundreds of horsemen.
The Hun cavalry in front of them, which was only a thousand people, they would not be afraid.
Shi Ah knew that when he and others fought against the Xiongnu, the exile army would not be indifferent.
The Xiongnu Qianchang immediately made a decision and commanded the cavalry to fight against the Cangyun scouts.
The Han army was only a hundred people, and the Xiongnu thought that they could swallow the Han army in a moment.
The two sides killed together, blood splattered.
These are the blood of the Hun cavalry, staining the white Mingguang armor of the Han army.
Cangyun scouts all had unique skills, and many Hun cavalry did not even touch the armor of the Han army, and died under the spears of the Han army.
If the front is rigid with the Mingguang armor, non-Lux cannot pierce the Mingguang armor.
To deal with the soldiers of Mingguang armor, either besiege or find weaknesses.
Mingguang armor is not invincible, under the perfect strategy of the battle of Qiangyin and the surprise attack on Yinshan, the soldiers wearing Mingguang armor also killed 200 people.
Hundreds of Cangyun scouts gathered together, both offensive and defensive, and defeated the Hun cavalry one after another.
"Brethren. Come on! ”
Jiang Jun was stunned for a moment and then drank loudly. Lead the army of wanderers to charge towards the Hun cavalry.
They hated the Xiongnu to the core, and naturally hoped to leave all the Xiongnu behind.
"The Han people are strong, retreat quickly."
The Xiongnu Qianchang saw that the situation was not good, and these hundred brave Han troops alone made them retreat, and the current exile army also joined the camp, wouldn't it be even worse?
As soon as the Xiongnu Qianchang turned the horse around, Shi A, who was only a dozen steps away from him, picked up the spear from the side of the horse and threw it at the Xiongnu Qianchang.
The Huns were unprepared, and this spear pierced his heart directly.
After the death of the Xiongnu Qianchang, the Hun cavalry was even more frightened.
They had no intention of fighting again, so they hurriedly drove Ma south to flee.
The Hun cavalry, which was dragged by the Han army, must not have been able to escape. After Shi A's people killed all the living Hun cavalry on the battlefield. The fleeing Hun cavalry was already hundreds of paces away.
There may be gains in the pursuit, but Shi A and the others came to Heyin County and had more important things to do.
1,000 Hun cavalry, leaving a total of 500 corpses in front and back, fled south in a hurry.
After the Hun cavalry fled, Shi A and the others turned over and dismounted, supported their armor, and walked towards Jiang Jun and other wandering people.
"But is the Emperor's Master?"
The Hun cavalry was defeated, the homeland was saved again, and the exiled army was full of joy.
When Shi A and the others reached the Wandering People's Army more than ten steps, Jiang Jun asked emotionally.
"We are the teachers of the emperor."
Shi Ah nodded in response.
The hussar general saved the drowning and burned the fire, and the emperor's army was also.
"I looked forward to it day and night, but I didn't see Wang Shi going north, I thought that the Han had abandoned us, but I didn't expect Wang Shi to come today to help us repel the Hu cavalry." Jiang Jun burst into tears and said thankfully.
Since the Xianbei cavalry broke through the Wuyuan Fortress and crossed the Gonglu water. There will be no peace in Wuyuan County.
The Nanting Xiongnu took the opportunity to go north to share the soup, and the whole county fell.
For a long time, I didn't see Wang Shi go north to pacify the Hu people. The displaced people on both sides of the Yellow River have long been disheartened.
The remnants were in tears.
Han Qiang, and sad!
