Chapter 1257: Encircling the Huns
Cao's army fanned towards the Huns.
Cao Jun, who suddenly appeared, let Qubei also eat already.
The large array of the Huns was a little chaotic for a moment.
"Don't mess around!" Finding that some of the Xiongnu warriors were afraid, they shouted humbly: "What we have in front of us is just a group of Central Plains people, as long as we charge, we can immediately disperse them......
"King Zuoxian, it's not good!" As soon as the shouts of humiliation fell, one of the tribal leaders shouted at him, "Our ship ......"
Look back at the riverbank.
To humble this hope, the bottom of my heart suddenly cooled.
I saw smoke rising from the river, and the warship they used to cross the river was actually set on fire by the lurking Cao army, and all of them were set on fire.
The flaming ships on the river made a "beep" sound of burning firewood, and as the hull of the ship burned through, one by one the warships sank into the water.
Seeing this scene, Qubei completely understood.
The army of the Central Plains in front of them was not afraid, but from the beginning, they never thought that any of them would be able to go back alive.
The Cao army was approaching the Huns step by step.
The spears reflected the cold light in the sunlight.
Standing behind the Cao army's large array, Cao Shuo had no expression on his face.
"Childe, our army has won this battle." Looking at the Huns who were besieged, Tian Feng asked, "Why doesn't Gongzi seem to be very happy?" ”
"Except for a natural butcher, no one is excited about being about to kill." Cao Shuo said: "A person like me who is honest and pure, of course, will not like to kill. But today, I am going to kill 20,000 Huns here. ”
Cao Shuo shook his head and said with a sad face: "This battle has killed more people than all my previous battles combined, how can I be happy?" ”
Tian Feng sighed softly, nodded and said, "Childe is talking about ......"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Shuo burst out: "Although I want to laugh, but in front of so many soldiers, if I laugh, wouldn't it seem too unkind?" ”
Suddenly his head was full of black lines, and Tian Feng didn't know what to say in an instant......
He also thought that Cao Shuo really had compassion for the Huns.
Unexpectedly, it was just to pretend to be compassionate and compassionate to the soldiers under his command.
"Soldiers!" Cao Jun was still approaching the Huns, Cao Shuo shouted: "Let go of the killing today, in the end catch a few alive for me, I want to pick a leg and foot to go to the Hetao to send a letter to the Hun Da Danyu, and the rest are open to kill, don't give me face." ”
"Roar!" The soldiers of the Cao army let out a burst of shouts.
When they landed on the riverbank, the Huns had not yet taken Cao Jun into account.
However, what appeared in front of them at this time was an army with bright armor and neat weapons as far as the eye could see, and it looked like a well-trained army.
The black-pressed Cao army pressed forward and advanced towards the Huns step by step.
"Stop!" Shouts rang out from the array.
The shouts came from all directions, and in order for every Cao army to hear clearly, there would be an officer shouting orders at intervals in the array,
The soldiers of the Cao army stopped one after another.
"Archer, prepare!" Another shout came.
With the sound of Qi brushing, the soldiers of the Cao army at the back of the queue opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the Huns.
"Hun warriors, kill me!" Cao Jun was about to release the arrow, and he roared at Qubei.
The Huns rode their horses and rushed towards Cao's army.
There was only one direction in which they charged, and that was to meet the large array on the opposite side.
"Shoot the arrows!" The Huns' plan was undoubtedly not wrong, and it would be much more likely to charge Cao Jun from a large array by concentrating all his forces in one direction.
At the same time as they launched their charge, many roars came from the Cao army's array: "Release the arrows!" ”
The order to release arrows was given, and countless arrows flew towards the Huns.
Arrows fell into the midst of the charging Huns.
The Huns, who rushed forward like a flood, were shot and fell off their horses.
The galloping horse was shot by an arrow, and its two front hooves rolled and fell out.
Before the Huns who fell off their horses had time to get up, they would be knocked over by the war horses of their companions behind, and then drowned in the torrent of rolling war horses......
Arrows rained down, and the Huns fell one after another, but more Huns were getting closer and closer to the Cao army array in front of them.
The sound of horses' hooves like thunder was deafening, and a shout came from the Cao army's array: "Spear array!" ”
Cao Shuo came to the battlefield later than others, firstly, he set off late, and secondly, he also practiced the use of spears by the soldiers before leaving.
Although he was not very skilled, the 30,000 soldiers brought by Cao Shuo were after all the standing army under his command.
Proficiency in the use of any weapon is a basic quality that the standing army needs to have.
It didn't take much time, and the soldiers were able to go into battle with their spears in battle.
The soldiers of the Cao army were originally lined up in a neat formation.
When the order to "spear array" was issued, the soldiers instantly arranged a dense spear formation according to what Cao Shuo had taught earlier.
The spears in the front row were stuck diagonally on the ground, and the soldiers next to them held their shields in one hand and the shaft of their spears in the other.
His eyes stared at the Hun cavalry who were rushing over.
As for the Cao army in the back, every time they went back in a row, the spears would be flattened.
In front of the Cao army's array, countless spears were pointed at the Hun cavalry like thorns on the porcupine's body, leaving no gap.
The other two phalanxes, which were not impacted, also lined up with spear formations at the same time as the Huns charged.
The Cao army with bows and arrows in the back row was still firing arrows to kill the Huns, and the Cao army in the front row had already maintained the array and advanced towards the Huns.
With a violent crash, the Hun cavalry finally collided with Cao's spear array.
Although the impact of the cavalry was strong, they couldn't reach the Cao army soldiers at all, so they were pierced by spears and horses.
More and more Huns collided, and the Cao army, which had withstood the first wave of impact, also launched a counteroffensive after the enemy's impact had decreased.
The spear stabbed and knocked the Huns off their horses.
The Cao army in the other two directions fanned over, and soon formed a joint encirclement of the Huns.
With the formation of the encirclement of the Cao army, the Huns panicked a little.
Many people began to rush in all directions, trying to fight their way through a gap in the battlefield and escape.
However, Cao Jun's array is tight, how can the messy stragglers break out of the gap?
The Huns, who tried to escape, either fell under the spears of Cao's army or fell in a rain of arrows flying from behind the array.
Gradually, the Huns' offensive was stopped, but the Cao army still advanced towards them step by step in a neat array.
Every time Cao Jun took a step forward, he would stab out his spear and pick off the Huns from their horses.
Finally, the siege was completed, and the Huns were surrounded in the center, while the Cao soldiers accurately stabbed the enemy with spears.
