Chapter 1032: The Battle of the Prairie (8)
A tide of Xiongnu herdsmen was driven by the nobles of their tribe like cattle and rushed to the strong military formation of the Han army. The adult man drove the old man out after he finished rushing, and later even the children were driven to the battlefield!
On this grassland, tens of thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen flocked to the metal city walls that reflected a brilliant luster in the sunlight like a gray tide!
An army of this size charged into battle, and if it was a huge cavalry cluster, Gao Yang would not let those sergeants who were not equipped with heavy tower shields and extra-long dragon spears resist hard under any circumstances. Because the combined weight of the man and the horse hit the shield at a very high speed, no matter what material the shield was, the shield bearer behind would suffer a fatal blow due to the violent impact force.
However, at this moment, although there are many of them, they are all just walking on their legs in the mud, and they are completely different.
Without speed there is no impact, and without heavy weapons you can't break through a strong defense. When these Huns, one foot deep and one foot shallow, collided with a sturdy shield, they were greeted by countless snow-bright war knives flashing with dazzling cold light!
"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”
The terrifying sound of dense metal blades piercing into the body continued to be heard, and a blinding light flashed, and the Huns who rushed to the front were killed and wounded almost instantly.
Only a handful of the Huns, who were extremely lucky and courageous, jumped over the shield wall with the help of various forces (and rushed into the Han army's ranks. But these people didn't end well. Where is it so easy to treat in the dense military formation? In the Han army, these dismounted cavalrymen held sharp riding knives for cavalry warfare. Cutting these Huns without armor, or only wearing cooked cowhide armor, is completely chopping melons and vegetables. Almost none of the Huns who broke into the rows of Han troops survived a few breaths.
"Kill!"
Dian Wei, who was as strong as a black tower, shouted angrily, and carried a double iron halberd weighing more than eighty catties in both hands and threw himself straight into the dense Huns like a tide.
A pair of iron halberds in Dian Wei's hand were waving like splashing ink, and the Huns were dying and dying. Dian Wei danced the iron halberd, and soon killed a flesh alley among the Huns. Stumps and severed arms flew in the air, and endless blood stained the special armor on his body, which was extremely strong, a crimson color. There are even a lot of messy bits and pieces hanging on it, and the name is indestructible.
Xu Zhu, who was also extremely brave, danced a huge long knife with both hands, screaming and setting off a bloody storm in the Hun army array. Every slash of the long knife will bring a rain of blood to the sky. Most of the large number of Huns who fell around Xu Zhu were directly cut off.
Many of the Huns, who had been cut in two, dragged half of their bodies to crawl on the ground with difficulty, wailing bitterly. The terrible voice sounded like it came from an abyssal ghost. Looking at the Huns who stretched out their hands and tried to stuff the scattered intestines and internal organs back into half of their bodies, even Gao Yang twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. Xu Zhu is really fierce enough.
With Dian Wei and Xu Zhu as the two cores, hundreds of elite traps whose bodies were covered in thick armor followed closely beside the two fierce generals, forming a terrifying meat grinding machine.
These fierce men who have been trained in the killing techniques of modern space-time science are skillful and concise in harvesting their lives. The Huns, who were close to them, would not be able to shake this metal fortress at all. As the cold light flickered, layers of corpses quickly piled up near the metal fortress.
There were too many Huns.
Liu Bao and those Xiongnu nobles knew that they had no advantage in the face of the elite Han army. The only thing that can be done is to pile it up with human lives.
The tribes gathered under Liu Bao's command were as high as more than 100,000 people, among which there were 70,000 or 80,000 men who could afford knives and guns. Except for a very small number of nobles, a large number of men were driven by them with sharp blades to rush towards the Han army one after another, trying to crush the Han army with crowd tactics.
The gray sea of people that covered the entire grassland hit the metal wall built by the Han army, and the flesh and blood were blurred!
The scale of this battlefield at the moment is enormous. The vanguard of the Han army was hundreds of soldiers in the trapped camp, and behind the trapped camp was a steel army formation composed of ten rows of thousands of people. Behind this 10,000-strong army formation was another Han army array that was constantly pouring dense arrows.
And those Huns were completely rushing forward in a swarm, and they didn't even have a basic degree of organization. The people who are still alive after being baptized by the rain of arrows are completely nowhere to eat when facing the metal walls.
It's an asymmetrical battle.
Except for those Huns who used heavy weapons, they were able to achieve some results with the heavy weapons in their hands. The herdsmen who wielded soft bows and arrows and ordinary knives and guns could only 'jingle' on the metal shields and armor of the Han army. But it can't cause fatal damage.
The whole scene looks like the battle between the British and French forces in the Qing Dynasty at Bali Bridge. worked hard and tried his best, but in the end he was defeated. Even inflicting basic damage on the other side has become a difficult thing. Even the Han army itself never thought that the advantage in equipment would be so great! This also shows from another aspect how bad the equipment of the Huns was.
The trapping camp led by Dian Wei and Xu Zhu is definitely the most powerful army in this era.
These hand-picked soldiers are all trained in the way of the elite special forces of modern time and space, and at the same time use sophisticated equipment far beyond this era.
Their equipment is all good things that Gao Yang got from modern time and space. Designed by those experts, the equipment produced by the military factory was definitely a unique weapon of war in the era of cold weapons.
The armor they wear is composite and multi-layered, which can take into account the hardness and toughness of the armor and can greatly resist damage. Many of the trapped sergeants had their armor shot into hedgehogs, the result of the best efforts of the condor archers who wielded iron bows and arrows. But the soldiers who were trapped in the camp were still able to wield their weapons and slash the enemy.
This full-body armor can protect almost any part of the body. Moreover, the use of alloy materials resulted in a significant reduction in weight, and strong sergeants could afford to fight for a long time. The only ones that can inflict lethal damage on them are to be shot in the visor at close range. That is, he was crushed to death by heavy weapons and shocked to death.
There's no way around it.
These are not combat uniforms from the era of the Interstellar Federation after all. These defenses, which are essentially metal armor, will inevitably cause great damage to the personnel inside when they are hit hard.
Fortunately, there were very few people among the Huns who had heavy weapons. Because they lacked iron, the Huns mainly used cavalry tactics. A small amount of iron is also used to craft arrows. How many metal arrows can be crafted from a heavy weapon?
Dian Wei, who has leopard eyes and beard like a halberd, has already killed the fire.
Raising his hand and pushing up his visor, he roared at the Huns in front of him, and the ears of the Huns who were shocked buzzed, and they were dizzy. The barbed spikes on the sturdy armor still had flesh hanging from them. The original silver-white battle armor was already completely red at this time.
His explosive arms wielded heavy iron halberds and smashed all the Huns in front of him into mud. The Huns killed by the extremely fierce Dian Wei were so frightened that almost no one dared to lean in front of him. There was a rare moment of silence beside Dian Wei on the battlefield, and Dian Wei gasped for breath and glared fiercely at the Huns who were cowering around him.
Before, a Hun archer took advantage of the rise of his killing to push away the armor and fired an arrow at Dian Wei's front door. Although he was blocked by the quick-eyed Dian Wei who raised his arm, he also succeeded in angering this fierce general.
Enraged, Dian Wei brandished his halberd and pounced all the way into the Huns' army to hunt down the condor archer. And managed to kill it.
But he himself was too deep into the Huns' military formation and was surrounded by a dense crowd. In the face of an almost endless siege, Dian Wei, who burst out of vitality, showed the supreme majesty of a top general. With a pair of iron halberds in his hand, he killed a pile of corpses beside him!
"Gutsless rats!" Dian Wei, whose face was covered with sweat, looked at the Huns who were cowering and did not dare to step forward with contempt, and spat viciously with bloodshot spit. Disdainfully scolded.
After a long breath, Dian Wei, who had experienced a long period of high-intensity fierce battles, also felt that he was a little lacking in strength. It's deadly on the battlefield and means you're almost done.
After thinking about it, Dian Wei took out a small pill wrapped in white paper from his hanging pocket. Captain Gao said that this is a medicine that can quickly replenish physical strength and spirit on the battlefield. However, it is absolutely not allowed to be used before the emergency moment, because it has strong side effects.
Dian Wei didn't know what the side effects were, he just knew that he needed to be supplemented now, or he would be doomed. Therefore, Dian Wei swallowed the small white pill that looked very high-end without hesitation.
After a moment, Dian Wei's eyes suddenly widened!
"Roar!! Dian Wei, who felt that he had never been so energetic, regained his vitality, and even felt that he was more energetic and energetic than before!
The double halberd in his hand danced out of the afterimage, and with the figure of Dian Wei, the stumps and broken arms flying all over the sky were brought out in the Hun army.
Dian Wei rushed to kill in the Hun army like a mad tiger, setting off a bloody storm in the sky, and the battlefield was already filled with a strong smell of blood that made people smell sick! Next year, the aquatic plants on this grassland will be extremely lush.
Dian Wei, who was on the rise of killing, suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground. His heavy armor was about to fall to the ground, and it was difficult to get back up, especially when there were enemy troops on all sides.
Dian Wei was lured into a mud pit. The mud and aquatic weeds everywhere made Dian Wei's ability to move rapidly decrease, and every step became extremely difficult.
The more than ten small halberds that Dian Wei carried with him had already been thrown. At this time, he only had this pair of double iron halberds in his hand. The power is enough, but the attack range is not.
When the surrounding Huns began to attack him with long soldiers, Dian Wei, who was in the mud, soon faced a great crisis. (To be continued......) i1292
