191 Heavy Cavalry Sortie
With Que Ji's surrender, Duan Cheng completed the task and sent people to take care of those cities, he escorted Que Ji, and went to Youbeiping to join Liu Hong.
At this time, Liu Hong's army also met with Tanshihuai's army, and the real big battle was about to break out.
This matter has to start from the day when Liu Hong's army surrounded Murong Feng.
Liu Hong saw that Tanshi Huai's army was about to arrive, so he ordered his subordinates to quickly kill Murong Feng and them. The army of the provincial sandalwood acacia was shocked, and the boiled duck flew away.
Without Liu Hong's orders, his subordinates also wanted to take down Murong Feng as soon as possible. It's like Zhang Ren, who is now completely desperate, and a gun makes him fly up and down, forcing Murong Feng and the three of them, which is full of dangers.
Tanshi Huai's army is getting closer and closer, and now he has seen Murong Feng's situation clearly. Seeing that his subordinate generals were about to be wiped out, how could Tanshi Huai not be in a hurry. Therefore, he took a large team of people and rushed directly to the rescue.
Liu Hong and the others had already discovered the army of Tanshi Huai, how could they not prepare. Therefore, Liu Hong had already asked his musket team to form a formation, waiting for Tanshi Huai to attack.
The leader of the musket team, when he saw that the army of Tanshi Huai had entered the firing range, immediately ordered his men to open fire. In an instant, there was a rain of bullets, and the army of Tanshi Huai was shot one after another, and many of them fell directly off their horses.
But it's a pity, even if Liu Hong's musket team used three-stage shooting, the gunfire never stopped. However, Liu Hong's musket was shot at about 200 paces, a distance that might take some time if he walked. But for the galloping fast horse, it was almost a blink of an eye. Soon, Tanshi Huai's army rushed over, and the two armies directly began to fight hand-to-hand.
Seeing this situation, Liu Hong realized that the musket team was not very useful in such a war.
When the army of Tanshi Huai arrived, the musket team would not sit still, and if they could shoot, they would continue to shoot, and if they could not shoot, they also had bayonets on their muskets, and it was not impossible for them to fight hand-to-hand.
However, training a musketeer is time-consuming and laborious, how can Liu Hong be willing to let them consume on such an occasion, so he ordered the sword and shield soldiers to replace them.
Tanshi Huai's army rushed over, and Murong Feng and the others had no intention of fighting, and they retreated outside while fighting Zhang Ren. Their distraction finally allowed Zhang Ren to find an opportunity, and he pierced Yuwen with one shot. After stabbing Yuwen to death, Zhang Ren didn't stop, and smashed Yuwen's injured body towards Murong Feng, and then pulled Gongsun Hu off the horse.
The two armies were fighting chaotically, and it was okay to fall off the horse at this time, and it didn't take long for Gongsun Hu to be trampled into meat by the nearby horses.
Now Murong Feng regrets his death, because he was greedy for merit for a while, not only did he lose a large number of troops, but his two loyal subordinates, Gongsun Hu and Yuwen, were all killed by Zhang Ren. He, a humble adult, is about to become a bare-bones commander.
However, the death of Gongsun Hu and Yuwen also provided an opportunity for Murong Feng, and he took advantage of this time to kill the encirclement.
Although the two armies exchanged fire, neither side was ready for a decisive battle. Therefore, both sides have no intention of fighting to the death, Tan Shihuai only wants to rescue his men, and Liu Hong and they just want to destroy Murong Feng.
Now that Murong Feng has fought his way out of the encirclement, Tanshi Huai and they will definitely not fight. And Liu Hong's army, because of the long journey, the physical exertion was terrible, and they did not pursue, and watched the sandalwood acacia and them leave.
Although Murong Feng was rescued, Xianbei also paid a terrible price. Not only was Murong Feng almost wiped out, but even Tanshi Huai also lost a large number of troops. However, Liu Hong was not too satisfied with such an ending, because if he hadn't used the musket team at the beginning, his results should have been greater.
But it is precisely because of this that Liu Hong has learned a lesson, professional things are handed over to professional people to do, he just watches the excitement on the side, and don't mix blindly if it's okay.
Liu Hong summed up the lessons and lessons here, and he was not idle with Tanshihuai, and he was also discussing ways to deal with the Han army.
Through this battle, Tanshi Huai knew that the Han army was no longer the original Han army. The current Han army is no worse than theirs, and even when they really fight, their army may not necessarily catch up with the army of the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, the blow to the sandalwood locust is too great. Originally, he felt that although the Han army was numerous, his army was strong, and such a neutralization could be regarded as evenly matched. But now that the Han army is both large in number and strong, what else is he fighting, he simply admits defeat.
At this time, Wen Qiang, a minister of the Han Dynasty who surrendered to Tanshi Huai, stood up and spoke, "Leader, our ancestors, a battle formation handed down, can greatly enhance combat effectiveness, and the villain is willing to dedicate it to the leader to defeat the Han army." ”
For these ministers who surrendered from the Han Dynasty, Tan Shihuai was quite trusting, and it was because he listened to the words of these ministers that he was able to reunite Xianbei. And now Wen Qiang said that the battle formation handed down by his ancestors can enhance combat effectiveness, he is convinced, and immediately let Wen Qiang start training the battle formation.
The battle formation is not difficult, a total of several changes, by the commander, with different colors of flags, to command those soldiers, how to change the formation. Using different formations to kill the enemy can really improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Tan Shihuai saw this situation, and after rewarding Wen Qiang, he took the newly trained battle formation and went out of the city to call the formation.
Although Liu Hong no longer cares about the battle between the two armies, he still has to watch the excitement. Liu Fu led the army to battle, and Liu Hong also followed.
Seeing the strange formation of the Xianbei army, Liu Hong was quite puzzled, and couldn't figure out what they were going to do. However, Liu Hong didn't know the goods, and there were many knowledgeable people in the Han army, and he recognized it at a glance.
"What kind of thing is the battle formation, it sounds pretty powerful."
Hearing His Majesty's question, Jia Xu hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, the battle formation is indeed quite powerful, and it can use the corresponding formation to fight according to different situations, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and it is very difficult to deal with." ”
"Made, I've never heard of Xianbei knowing this thing before, but now that they use it, it must be the credit of those traitors."
Unlike Liu Hong, seeing Tanshi Huai put up a battle formation, Liu Fu was not in a hurry, he directly called out the heavy cavalry formed by Liu Hong. And said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty once said that in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is nonsense. I think this principle is the same when applied to warfare, as long as our strength is strong enough, what kind of battle formation is also nonsense. ”
