Chapter 196: The Fire Breaks the Chaos of the Army
When the enemy and our armies are entangled, few commanders will order their long-range troops to fire arrows at the enemy, after all, even if they can kill and injure more enemy troops, but the arrows have no eyes, and it is easy to cause accidental injuries, which is undoubtedly more than worth the loss, and Fu Quan's order made Gai Yuan, Han Dang, and Shi A very puzzled.
Gai Yuan bowed his head and replied: "Zhonglang, the two armies are entangled, if you shoot it with a bow and crossbow at this time, it will be ......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a coldness attack, and hurriedly glanced at Fuquan, seeing that his face was expressionless, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he hurriedly stopped his mouth. Among the three, he himself is older, older in the military, and more experienced, and he is the only one who dares to speak out at this time.
Fu Quan looked at Gai Yuan and said coldly: "If there are any more liars, behead!" Those who dare to disobey military orders will be killed! "It's not that he doesn't know that doing so will hurt his own people, but so what, he doesn't need to disrupt the barbarians with strange tricks, with these weak county soldiers under his command, and if he continues to consume like this, it is estimated that he may really follow in the footsteps of Xiao Ming, who presided over the suppression of the chaos in his predecessor.
Ci is not in charge of the troops, righteousness is not in charge of money, this battle must be won, Fu Quan is impossible to lose his own troops for no reason, and he is afraid of accidental injury and let the opposite Ban Yu Man occupy a favorable situation on the field.
Seeing that the commander's tone was so resolute, the three of them went in response, divided into two teams with thousands of crossbowmen, quickly ran behind the left and right flanks of the Han army, and shot at the left and right flanks of the barbarians.
After about dozens of breaths, when the barbarians were still entangled with the Han army, the arrows that suddenly shot quickly from both sides shot at them urgently, and countless barbarians were immediately shot, screaming and wailing to the ground. They had already thrown away the wooden shield in their hands because of the close hand-to-hand combat with the Han army, and they had no armor on their bodies, and without the protection of the wooden shield, they became lambs to be slaughtered in an instant, and they were shot into hedgehogs.
Of course, not only the barbarian soldiers, but also the Han army was also uncomfortable in front of the formation, and the indiscriminate attack of the arrows also hit many Han soldiers who were fighting with the Banyu barbarians. However, slightly better than the barbarians, after all, the Han army has excellent armor to protect the body, heavy hoods to protect the head, the vital parts are less injured, most of them are some ordinary parts are shot, except for a few unlucky eggs, most of the wounded soldiers of the Han army are not fatal, in general, this wave of indiscriminate shooting, the Han army has the upper hand.
Du Kang and Luo Zhan, who originally led people to surround Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, saw that their own barbarians behind them were shot down in the blink of an eye, and they were all furious, their eyes were red, and they scolded the Han people for being shameless, and even their own family members were so unscrupulous. I wanted to continue to besiege Guan and Huang, but I had already vented my hatred for the slaughter of the clansmen, but Han Dang and Shi A came with crossbowmen on the left and on the right to support, which caught Du and Luo off guard.
Under the counterattack of the crossbow arrows, Du and Luo killed a few barbarians in the first place, and the two knew that they could not do anything so they gave up the two wings, so that the remaining barbarians on the two wings all moved closer to the Chinese army, since the Han people on both wings had crossbowmen to press the formation, it was difficult to overcome quickly, so the whole army could only press the Han army and concentrate on breaking the Han army.
"Kill!"
Du and Luo shouted with anger and revenge, although the barbarians are brave and not afraid of death, but the two of them, as the nobles of the tribe, will not really let the clansmen die stupidly, if this is the case, they can only wait for the destruction of the clan. At this moment, countless barbarian clansmen were killed by arrows in front of the two, how not to let them be heartbroken, with angry anger, the two led the remaining soldiers to storm the Han army.
The Han army, which was already in a panic, became even more crumbling in an instant, and the barbarian was now like a beast in the Rushan forest, opening its bloodthirsty fangs and beginning to devour all the prey he could prey. And the entire Han army in the middle of the formation, as if it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, was only a little short, and the entire middle formation was about to collapse.
For a while, the faces of Fu Quan and the others who saw this scene changed greatly, and everyone under them clenched their weapons in their hands, looked at the commander Fu Quan, and waited for his order. In any case, it is necessary to ensure that the center is not chaotic, otherwise the center is broken, the entire army will be defeated, and the defeated army that flees is more likely to break up the Chinese army.
Fu Quan's eyes were cold, looking at the battle situation ahead, his hand had already clenched the sword on his waist, he was making a choice, whether to press all his Chinese army, and put the last four thousand elite soldiers into the middle battle, which really became the same as adding fuel to the tactics, slowly and the barbarian soldiers, to see if God gave him a way to live, luck came to consume the barbarian soldiers, and without luck he could only suffer his own death.
Or, wait for Xu Huang to strike from behind. It's just that there are less than a thousand horses, and he needs to detour the mountain road to get to the rear of Ban Yuman, and he doesn't know how much time it will take, can he really wait for that moment?
"Zhonglang, look!"
Behind him, a sharp-eyed assassin of the history department shouted, startling Fu Quan, and before long, he saw a fire burning in front of him.
I saw that under the darkening sky, the large camp behind the barbarian army, which they had originally built simply, was frantically blazing at this time. The autumn weather was already dry, and the barbarians had built their camp near the woods for the sake of convenience, and when the wind blew, the flames were like wild horses on the loose, rushing and burning in all directions, reflecting the rear of the barbarians red.
As the flames ignited, shouts were heard in the distance.
"The Han army is killing from behind, thousands of horsemen are coming, run ......"
"Defeated, defeated, the camp is gone......"
All kinds of rumors spread that behind the sneak attack of the Han army, the barbarian army was going to be defeated, and the barbarian soldiers who were stunned by the fire ignited by the camp in front of them were in a lot of panic.
How could Fu Quan not guess at this moment that it must be Xu Huang who led people around the back of the barbarian army, seeing that the barbarians were unstable, how could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He drew the sword on his waist, pointed to the front of the battlefield, and shouted to the generals behind him: "Feng Hou worships the prime minister, at this moment, gentlemen, kill with me!" ”
"Kill!"
In an instant, the morale of the elite soldiers formed by the soldiers and horses of the four counties was like a rainbow, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the night, killing the barbarian army in front, and the battle situation was already at the end of the end at this time, and the last hand-to-hand combat between the two armies was used as an embellishment.
When the four thousand elite soldiers were like a new force, they violently broke through the panicked formation of the barbarians, and under the front and back of the barbarians, under the firelight of the sky, gradually some people began to collapse, turned around and fled, slowly infecting all the people and horses, the barbarians were scattered, and their nature was completely exposed.
Although there were not many Han troops in the rear to attack, but people were born afraid, and when they didn't know how many enemies came from their backs, the Han army in front of them came to reinforcements.
