The Xianbei people are all good at riding and shooting, and the war horses gallop around the pit, and the arrows are fired together, and the screams in the pit come and go, and soon calm is restored. Murong Xiong pointed in the direction of Daling on his horse and said, "Keep going!" ”

The task of the vanguard is very simple, that is, to rush to the city as soon as possible, trap the defenders of the city in the city, and then start the siege after the follow-up men and horses arrive. Now, there are ** rushing cars, ladders and a large number of Taiyuan people in the Xianbei team, and these people are the main force in the siege. The Xianbei were tasked with using the mobility and superb archery skills of the cavalry to attack the defenders at the head of the city. According to the information provided by **, the city walls of Daling and Pingtao counties are not high, and their bows and arrows can be shot at the head of the city, and their archery skills can definitely cause considerable damage to the defenders.

However, Murong Xiong's cavalry bypassed this trap and rushed forward for no more than three or five miles, when suddenly there was another loud bang, and the cavalry in front encountered a trap again, losing more than 500 people. Before he could see the shadow of the Han army, he lost a whole thousand-man team, Murong Xiong was a little annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "Spread out and rush forward together!" I don't believe how many more holes they can have. ”

From these two traps, dozens of horsemen will not react when they step up, and if the people and horses are scattered, it should be fine.

The Xianbei people were skilled in horsemanship, and when they heard Murong Xiong's order, they soon formed a straggler formation, more than 9,000 cavalry, spread out all over the mountains, and let out bursts of strange screams from their mouths, and the momentum was even greater than just now, Murong Xiong couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Suddenly, the cavalry who rushed in front fell to the ground one after another, the war horses screamed in pain, and some of the Xianbei cavalry who fell to the ground screamed miserably, and some stood there stupidly at a loss. The war horses behind couldn't hold back their footsteps, and they bumped into them one after another, and suddenly people turned on their backs.

Murong Xiong "shouted" and reined in the war horse, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

At this time, a cavalry limped over, and it was the Hun Aldin, who was attached to Xianbei. Aldin handed over a swarthy little thing with a painful expression, frowned and said, "Lord Hui, there are many such things on the ground, and the horse's hooves have been punctured, and even the villain's buttocks have been punctured. ”

The crops in the field had already been set on fire, and everywhere was charred and black, and the black horse nails were scattered in it even more inconspicuous, and the Xianbei cavalry was immediately on the road. Although these nails are not fatal, if the horse hurts its hooves, it can no longer run, and even standing is a problem. Without war horses, the combat power of the Xianbei people will be greatly reduced. Despite the Xianbei people's superb riding skills and the cavalry behind them stopped the momentum in time, this field full of horse nails still caused them to lose 2,000 horses. There were still twenty miles away from Daling City, and only seven of Murong Xiong's ten thousand troops were left to continue fighting.

What's even more terrifying is that there is no known how many ambushes are waiting for them ahead. Murong Xiong hesitated for the first time, waved his horsewhip, pointed at Alding and the knights who had lost their horses, and said, "You go ahead and search carefully!" ”

These people were all from the Xiongnu or some other small tribe, and they were forced to rush to the front every time they fought, and now they have lost their horses, and they must continue to explore the front. Although they were unwilling, this was their fate, and they were powerless to resist, so they had to follow Murong Xiong's orders.

They live on horseback all year round, and they all have some looped legs, and they are not fast when they walk, but now they have to guard against the horse nails mixed in the ashes of the grass and trees, and the speed is even slower. You know, although the boots made of calfskin on their feet can prevent the toes from being worn during riding, they are completely useless for the nails, as long as they are accidentally stepped on, they will still pierce the instep.

Fortunately, there were not many areas where the Han army threw Zama nails, and after walking a mile or two, and more than 500 people were injured by Zama nails, no one was heard screaming.

The cavalry relied on speed, and followed the group of guys who had lost their horses and walked these roads slowly, and they had long lost their momentum. Murong Xiong knew that only by trying to rush up could he give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, he didn't care about those wounded, he took out his scimitar and pointed in the direction of Daling, and shouted: "Rush!" ”

At this time, they were only ten miles away from Daling City, and their purpose was not to attack the city, but to gallop around Daling City, show off their strength, let the Han people see the might of the Xianbei cavalry, and then plunder a few small villages by the way.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Daling City, and there was no obstacle along the way, Murong Xiong was laughing at the incompetence of the Han army in his heart, and suddenly saw a group of cavalry in front of him. Murong Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had fought with the cavalry of the Yuan army when he attacked the Han realm, and he thought that his ability to mount and shoot should be far above the Han people. He was not afraid of fighting with the Han people, but he was afraid that the Han people would not come out when they cowered in the city. These Han soldiers rushed out without knowing whether they were alive or dead, just giving him the opportunity to make meritorious service, and it was not in vain that the leader made him the commander.

The strength of the Xianbei people is cavalry archery, seeing the Han cavalry rushing over, without waiting for Murong Xiong to give the order, the speed of the team's gallop consciously slowed down, and many people took off their bows, drew arrows, and prepared for the attack. These Xianbei people grew up on horseback since childhood, and it is not impossible to ride and shoot, but the accuracy is much worse.

However, the cavalry of the Han army on the opposite side was getting faster and faster, and they were still three hundred paces away from the Xianbei people, when a random arrow was fired. There was a burst of presumptuous laughter in the Xianbei team, which was to mock the Han army for not being able to hold their breath, and they were busy releasing arrows from such a distance, and they could shoot a ghost? Their bows and arrows were already in their hands, and they would not shoot them until the two armies were a hundred paces apart, so that they could inflict maximum damage.

However, their laughter did not stop, and soon turned into a terrible scream. The sound of "whooshing" passed through their ears, and the feathered arrows of the Han army rained down. The Xianbei cavalry, who were caught off guard, fell off their horses one after another, and the feather arrows were stuck in them, shaking non-stop, which showed the great strength.

The range of the Han cavalry bow was originally much farther than that of Xianbei, and coupled with the inertia brought by the high-speed gallop of the war horse, it shot farther and had greater strength. Moreover, the cavalry shooting of the Han army was not a salvo like the Xianbei people, the Han army fired in sections.

The cavalry for this sortie consisted of only three thousand men, and they were divided into three waves. As soon as the first wave of 1,000 cavalry had finished, they hung up their bows and drew their sabers. At this time, the second wave of 1,000 cavalry fired another wave of arrows, and then hung their bows and drew their swords. Then came the third wave......

Under the blow of the first wave of bows and arrows, the five or six hundred horsemen who rushed in front fell one after another, and the men and horses who fell to the ground tripped the cavalry behind them to the ground, and the formation was suddenly chaotic. At this time, a second and third wave of arrows rained down, and in the blink of an eye, the Xianbei cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and they were wounded under their best cavalry shooting.

Murong Xiong shouted and scolded, wanting to stop the chaotic organization from firing back, but it was too late. Many Xianbei cavalry still had bows and arrows in their hands, and the Han cavalry had already rushed to the front. The Han cavalry all wielded sharp sabers in their hands, galloping and slashing left and right. The Xianbei people hurriedly drew their scimitars, and most of them had already been decapitated before they were unsheathed.

The sabers of the cavalry of the Han army are extremely sharp, and the war horses are all good horses from the Western Regions, with strong explosive power, that is, to deal with these steppe peoples with superb riding skills, they also need to make chopping movements, if it is an ordinary infantry or a cavalry with general riding skills, they only need to put the saber in front of them, and they can easily cut off the head by using the impact of the war horse.

With just one charge, the Xianbei forward cavalry was already in disarray and torn apart. This Han cavalry was personally led by Zhang Liao, who took the lead, killing from the front of the Xianbei cavalry to the back of the formation, and with a wave of his sword, he turned over and killed back.

After the Han cavalry rushed back and forth three times, there were only a few Xianbei people still riding on horses. Murong Xiong deserves to be the leader, under the repeated rush of the Han cavalry, he actually survived, and also slashed and killed two Han cavalrymen, but he was also stabbed twice, and a long hole was opened on his back, and the blood stained the war horse under him, and he was crumbling on the horse.

Zhang Liao's big sword was raised upward, and the cavalry of the Han army whistled, surrounded the remaining Xianbei people in the heart, and said loudly: "Put down your arms, Rao Er will not die!" ”

Murong Xiong turned his head to look at his side, there were only three cavalrymen left on his side, and all of them were wounded. finally became the commander of the ten thousand-man team, but he ended up annihilating the whole army, Murong was unwilling, and rushed forward with a loud shout. Zhang Liao sneered and rode his horse to meet him. The two horses intersected, and Murong Xiong's war horse galloped over, immediately carrying a headless dead corpse.

The remaining three Xianbei cavalry still wanted to continue to resist, and the surrounding Han cavalry fired arrows in unison, instantly shooting them into hedgehogs.

Zhang Liao swung his big knife and shouted in a deep voice: "After a pillar of incense, withdraw to Daling City!" ”

The time for this pillar of incense is reserved for his subordinates to clean up the battlefield. The speed of the Han army was very fast, and they didn't look down on the equipment of the Xianbei people at all, and the most important thing was to bring the remains of the wounded soldiers and dead soldiers on their side back to the city. As for the injured Xianbei and the horses, they only made up for them to help them completely free, while the uninjured war horses were brought back to the city as trophies.

Twenty miles away, Su Li, the leader of Liaodong Xianbei who was in charge of the response, arrived at the first pit with a team of thirty thousand people, looking at the dead people and dead horses full of pits, he didn't even frown, and sneered: "The Han people are treacherous, what can I do with this little trick?" Order, move forward quickly, and set foot on the Great Tomb! ”

Su Li's task was similar to that of Murong Xiong, not to siege the city, but to trap the Han army in Daling City. However, seeing the tragic death of his compatriots, he was a little angry.

Just as the cavalry had passed, the pit full of dead bodies suddenly moved, and one of the survivors struggled to crawl out.
