Chapter 1041: The Battle of the Prairie (17)

"Great Khan. ●⌒," the leading craftsman explained, "we can't do things like this chain crossbow, quenched armor and weapons. The workmanship of these things is so exquisite, we don't have the craftsmanship and we don't have all kinds of tools. As for the other harnesses and the oddities, they can do it. However, we are desperately short of manpower and things, and the amount we can make every day is nothing compared to the huge military array. Now that the big war is about to begin, it is too late in time. ”

"Hmm." Sandalwood is not stupid. He could tell if the craftsmen were telling the truth or not. Now that the main force of the Han army has been pressed, it is pure nonsense to want to change the clothes of his own people at this time. With that kung fu and energy, it's better to think about how to win the battle that determines the fate of the Xianbei people, as long as you win all kinds of loot, you can't go to the sea?

"I can't imagine that the skills of the Han people have reached this level?" For these divine weapons and sturdy armor, Sandalwood was very shocked. However, he firmly believed that only a small number of elite soldiers and horses in the Han army would be equipped with such divine weapons in the absolute sense. Tanshi Huai, who had won a great victory over the Han army, was still full of confidence in his victory again.

If Tan Shihuai knew that what he got was nothing more than the most ordinary Han army equipment, almost all the Han army's equipment was of this level. And when there are at least 30,000 more well-equipped ironclad troops, will he still be so confident!

After waving his hand for the craftsmen to leave, Tanshi Huai walked out of the tent and looked at the deep night sky, and let out a long sigh. After fighting a lifetime of battles, when he was old, he encountered such a big battle that decided the life and death of the entire Xianbei tribe, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment.

"Come on, let's have a good fight!" The sandalwood locust that looked at the far south straightened up, and his gaze gradually sharpened!

The huge army formation pulled out a long marching column, and tens of thousands of sergeants strode forward on the vast grassland according to their respective commands.

The scale of the war was so great that there were hundreds of thousands of people on both sides. It's impossible to rely on a fierce battle to determine victory or defeat. With the continuous pressure of Gao Yang, fierce skirmishes between the two sides emerged one after another, and even at night did not stop.

Facing the Xianbei tribesmen's cavalry with hedgehogs, Gao Yang, who was unwilling to continue to consume time, boldly divided his troops when his troops were at a disadvantage. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were sent to each lead 30,000 cavalry to outflank the Tanshihuai royal court from both sides, sweep the flanks of the Tanshihuai royal court, and isolate his royal court. The two armies swept away the leaves like an autumn wind along the way, defeating countless Xianbei cavalry who came to stop them, greatly threatening the strategic situation of the Xianbei army.

Shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the Han army, Tanshi Huai, who was forced to be anxious, decided to play in person. He ordered his eldest son and company to lead tens of thousands of tribal cavalry to block Zhang Liao's troops on the right. Don't seek merit, just be able to delay the Han army. And Tan Shihuai himself took his royal court guards and the Murong clan, Tuoba clan and other Xianbei powerful tribes with a total of nearly 150,000 horsemen to besiege Zhao Yun's department. The intention was to encircle and annihilate this powerful Han army in one fell swoop.

At this time, there were only more than 20,000 cavalry troops left on Gaoyang's main side, and the main force was more than 100,000 elite foot soldiers. Tanshi Huai's analysis believes that the distance is too far, and there are still a large number of Xianbei tribe cavalry entangled. It was basically impossible for the Han army to come to support. Once this adventurous Han cavalry was defeated, it was likely to be a turning point in the war.

The analysis of sandalwood locust is not a problem if it is placed on the grassland. But it is not suitable for Gao Yang's body. He wouldn't know what Gao Yang's background was, and he wouldn't understand that Gao Yang had never been a person who would be afraid to retreat.

After discovering Tanshi Huai's movements, Gao Yang immediately lit up the last more than 20,000 cavalry in his formation, and slaughtered at the place where Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were under the stunned gaze of countless Xianbei herdsmen on the opposite side.

On the battlefield where Tanshi Huai besieged Zhao Yun, the entire emerald green grassland had been rendered a red color. There is a red river flowing on the earth, which is the river of life condensed by countless people with their lives.

There are so many people who have died!

The strength of the Han army was completely beyond the imagination of Tanshi Huai. The dense arrows that splashed like water made countless Xianbei cavalrymen who had no armor or only leather armor screamed and fell off their horses. I don't know how many Xianbei warriors have been shot into hedgehogs before they can fight the Han army. Angrily opened his unwilling eyes and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.

In addition to the sharpness of the arrows, there is no match. Tan Shihuai finally confirmed with his own eyes the rumors that the various tribes that had been engaged with the Han army before were all wearing fine iron battle armor! The Han army that appeared in front of him was indeed an army completely covered in steel! In the sunlight, it shimmers with a dazzling metallic sheen.

"How is this possible?!" Tan Shihuai looked at the Han cavalry cluster that was constantly pouring arrows and horses towards his soldiers and horses in a daze, and his face was incredulous.

"Da Danyu, those Han troops are all monsters! Our arrows can't pierce them. It is also difficult for the knife and gun in the hand to play a role when you are close. They're just lumps of iron, and nothing but smashing them with a hammer is good! Tuoba Gui, the leader of the Tuoba tribe, told the miserable experience of his men with a depressed face.

As a well-known and powerful tribe among the Xianbei people, the Tuoba tribe was given the important task of taking the lead in the assault by Tanshi Huai. However, the cavalry of the incomparably brave Tuoba tribe struck their heads in front of the Han army. The front of the Han army was already covered with their corpses at this time. Those are all the power in the hands of Tuoba Gui, and there are many of his sons and nephews!

Tuoba Kei had already made up his mind and would no longer care about the things and pastures promised by the sandalwood locust. Their Tuoba tribe can't afford to die like this!

Tanshi Huai frowned and turned his gaze to Murong Ke on the other side. However, the treacherous and cunning Murong Ke had already seen the tragic situation of the Tuoba tribe. How could it be possible to go up and die at this time? The herdsmen of their respective tribes are their own property, and they come to the royal court of Tanshihuai to fight for him, and they just mean it.

Sandalwood Huai's eyes began to turn cold. Before he died, these bastards began to have their own hearts and minds, and they were disobedient to him. If he died, how would his unsuccessful son and Lian fight them? At this moment, a murderous aura surged in Tanshi Huai's heart!

Just when Tan Shihuai was about to force everyone to send troops together, Gao Yang's army arrived.

More than 20,000 elite cavalry defeated tens of thousands of Xianbei tribesmen who hurried to block them. Under everyone's incredulous gaze, he soon converged with Zhao Yun's department.

"Lord!" Seeing Gao Yang, the young Zhao Yun had a relieved expression on his face.

In any case, there are more than 100,000 enemy troops, and you can't see the edge at a glance. As the main general, how can he not be nervous when his soldiers and horses are surrounded by so many enemy troops? Although his armor is strong and his weapons are sharp. But the Xianbei people are not holding sticks in their hands! Even if it's a stick, so many people can beat people up.

Although the results were brilliant in the previous few short handovers, they also lost hundreds of people. Once the Xianbei people are desperate to fully press, Zhao Yun doesn't know what the ending will be.

As a decisive weapon, the chain crossbow is extremely powerful, but it has a fatal weakness, that is, the arrows are consumed too quickly. When I was going to attack, I carried as much as I could. But it still can't keep up with the consumption rate of such a huge scale. If it weren't for Gao Yang rushing over, Zhao Yun would have been ready to give the order to save ejaculation.

The addition of a large number of new troops not only boosted morale, but also improved strength. After being strengthened, the Han army is no longer something that Tanshi Huai can peep into.

Seeing that the Han army on the opposite side had rapidly increased by nearly doubling its strength, Tanshi Huai knew that it was too difficult to win at this time. But he was not willing to retreat and watched as the Han army swept his flank. Caught in a dilemma.

The two sides began to reorganize their formations, and the huge military formations slowly moved, once again forming an antagonistic situation.

Gao Yang raised his eyes and looked at the sky, shook his head helplessly, and said, "If you drag it out like this, it's time to eat and sleep." Is this the idea of the sandalwood locust? ”

"Lord!" A loud shout with a hint of a young man's voice came. Gao Yang looked sideways, and it turned out to be the young Ma Chao.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops into the enemy formation, and take the head of the enemy's chief to sacrifice to the lord!" The young Ma Chao's face was full of excitement, and he did not hesitate to make this bold statement before the army. I don't understand that this moment is on the battlefield!

Once Gao Yang agrees to his request, and he fails to do it, then Ma Chao's reputation as a military general will be completely ruined. In the era of classical militarism, the importance of fame was understood by the famous runaway generals of later generations.

At this moment, although Gao Yang was extremely confident in the soldiers and horses under his command, he knew that they were strong enough to sweep all opponents. But the generals of the plane under his command are still worried. Even after the campaign against Xiliang and the destruction of the Xiongnu, it failed to make them completely believe that the soldiers and horses under their command were already invincible in the world.

Their thinking is still stuck in traditional concepts, after all, something that has been passed down for thousands of years. Wanting to change doesn't happen overnight.

At this moment, Ma Chao's youth and strength are an excellent opportunity.

"Good!" Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "It is said that heroes have been teenagers since ancient times, and I met one today!" ”

Turning his head to look at the huge Xianbei army formation that was dense in the distance and could not be seen at a glance, he said with a smile: "Those rabble on the other side are just a little more numerous. Let's take the initiative and we will definitely be able to win! Thus leaving a glorious battle in the history books that will surely be passed down through the ages! ”

After a pause, he looked at Ma Chao, whose eyes began to burn, and said, "Go ahead, prove your martial prowess, and the time has come to leave your own legend." I appoint you as the vanguard general to take the lead, and I will personally support you with this formation! ”

"Whoa!" Already excited can not their own horse super loud answer. (To be continued......)
