Volume 7 "The Comeback" Chapter 197: Wolf Army Chen Xi
Chen Xi stood under the banner, his face was hideous, the fish scales and armor on his body were sticking to the pieces of flesh, as if he had just gone into battle in person, and the blood stains on the horizontal knife in his hand had not dried. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The sky darkened suddenly, and a sharp voice broke through the air, and sharp arrows flew through the air like raindrops.
Looking ahead, the blood flowing out of the human body seems to be able to gather into a stream, and the turf seems to have been replaced with a new uniform filled with arrows; The Hun infantry who had no formation at all flocked to the low wall like ants, these Hun infantry were poorly armed and even had no shields, the arrows rained down, and the endless howls were melodious, and the Hun infantry who were killed by the arrows stood on top of each other, and the corpses were piled up.
The Huns began to attack after three tentative attacks, which surprised Chen Xi but did not worry, the troops defending the frontal battlefield were ready to fight a tough battle, it didn't matter if they came early or late, as many people imagined, fighting early also saved Bu Tse's hard work.
Today is the third day after the Huns' strong attack, according to Lin Bin's request, Chen Xi can now fake defeat and retreat, but Chen Xi doesn't want to retreat so early, because there is nothing more pleasing to the eye than watching Hu Lu being killed and wounded by a large number of arrows on the battlefield.
Most of the wolf troops are good at shooting, killing at least 30,000 enemies in three days, and there is no plan to kill or injure. Of course, the more kills you have, the more arrows you consume. At present, there are nearly 20,000 crossbow arrows and more than 300,000 ordinary arrows under Chen Xi's command, and if the Huns continue to attack, these arrows can be used for at least a day and a half.
Utilitarianism and competitiveness are Chen Xi's weaknesses, and he doesn't see himself clearly. Doing things seemed a bit willful, and when someone reminded him of the purpose of the battle, he had already had too late to adjust. The only way to do so is to show that you can't hold it.
"The momentum of holding on is too tenacious, if you show weakness and defeat for a while, the Huns will not believe it?"
The sound of the road breaking through the air sounded again, Chen Xi subconsciously raised his head and looked up, when he saw thousands of arrows covering the sky, the dense arrows even made the light unable to penetrate down, as if there was a black cloth covering the earth. It moved forward at a great speed, and by the time the sun reappeared, its eardrums were already filled with dying screams.
The charge of the Hun infantry was blocked by a line of arrows, and a fault appeared. About 3,000 or so Hun soldiers who survived the arrow array did not seem to see their comrades who were still falling, and they continued to run with undiminished momentum, as if they were shouting 'ah-ah' syllables.
"Let them come!"
As soon as the military ordered, the crossbowmen on the arrow towers in the rear saw that the flag suppressed the desire to shoot.
Standing on the wall, Changgeshou and Hengdaoshou once again showed happy expressions. They are melee warriors. If the enemy does not rush forward, they will not be able to make meritorious achievements, and if they do not have the opportunity to make meritorious achievements, they will always be only the lowest soldiers! The social system of the Ten Ministries and the Five Armies is too special, if there is no military merit, there will never be a day to get ahead, how many people sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths just for the military merit titles that represent their identity and allow their families to get good treatment in the Ten Ministries!
Chen Xi didn't look at the Hun infantry who were about to climb the wall at all, he was full of confidence in the melee combat ability of the soldiers under his command! At this moment, Chen Xi stared intently at the home formation of the Huns, who had no battle flags, let alone banners, and some were just wooden sticks pinned with mane. Although there are elements of ethnic differences. But Chen Xi thought maliciously: "Maybe the Huns are unwilling to set up flags just to make people unable to see the number of the army clearly?" How did the Huns distinguish between the main force and the auxiliaries? He also forgot that the nomads lacked not only iron and copper, but also cloth. Where did the excess cloth come from to make the military flag.
The Xiongnu were very thick, but due to the tribal nature of the nomads, it was easy to see how many tribes were gathered to attack. At present, there are about eight Xiongnu troops standing in front of the formation, with the Right Xianwang Department as the center, the Huhun Department and the Tushen Department standing on the left and right wings, and the rest of the small tribes standing on the periphery as if consolidating the large array.
Only when you are on the battlefield can you truly understand what war is, it is a world of blood and flesh strangulation, shouting and screaming at each other, and as a soldier, you may be killed by arrows flying from nowhere anytime and anywhere.
The melees of the Wolf Army showed excited expressions, and they rejoiced that they could continue to harvest the weapons in their hands. These warriors were reluctant to push away the climbing ladder set up by the Hun infantry, they held their weapons firmly near the climbing ladder, saw someone poke their heads out, the wolf soldiers holding Changge stabbed out the weapon for the first time, a blood flower burst out from the enemy's chest, splashed on the wall that was already full of blood, when the enemy was about to fall, a horizontal knife flashed, a big hand quickly stretched over to grab the enemy's head, and instantly retracted.
The wall is full of heads cut off by the wolf army, depending on the number of killings, the bloody heads are stacked into a zigzag shape, like a Beijing view! The so-called Jingguan is to pile up the heads or corpses of the enemy killed in battle into a mound in the shape of a pyramid, and use the soil cover to tamp it, which is generally used to deter the enemy. Of course, the piles of human heads that are casually stacked here are just the work of the soldiers for the convenience of calculating the military exploits.
In order to avoid the situation of snatching merit and killing the robe, the five armies have a clear way of calculating military merits, one of which is that the military merits within a tithe are uniformly calculated by the chief of the tithe after the war, and they are counted layer by layer. In addition, there is also a military merit reward system that takes care of the way to cut off the head on the battlefield, that is, in every war, with the song as the lowest unit, each victory is collectively recorded once, according to the rank of the military meritorious, for example, ordinary soldiers after three collective merits, after verification of whether they participated in the war, awarded the first-class public soldier military meritorious knight, issued a first-class public servant epaulette. By analogy, the higher the military merit, the more collective merit is required, and when you reach the fifth level of 'doctor', you will not enjoy the treatment of the collective military merit system, but after winning each major battle, you will receive a battle medal that is not available below the 'doctor', so as to flaunt the values of glory.
A good military merit system can make soldiers have the desire to fight, of course, these military merit systems were not created by Lin Bin himself, he borrowed from all the cognitive military merit systems that can be used, and then improve them. After that, it was actually used.
Now, it is the soldiers who are driven by a special system of military merit, and they all want to be able to kill more enemies. In exchange for extraordinary social status!
A wolf soldier stabbed out of Changge penetrated the chest of the Hun soldier, the wolf soldier wanted to pull Changge back, but the Hun soldier who was not yet dead grabbed Changge's wooden pole with both hands, and the wolf soldier subconsciously tried to pull it again, but he was pulled forward by the corpse of the Huns who lost his life and rubbed a few steps forward, and when he was about to pounce out, his back waist was hugged, and a cold light flashed Changge's wooden pole was cut off. He fell backwards lightly, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Pao Ze who saved him.
"What kind of flute, don't go and get new weapons!"
This sentence is definitely not Chinese. It is an Altaic language, which should be called 'Xianbei' to be precise. The man who spoke was a former Xianbei man, but after the defeat of the tribe, he became a member of the war servants, and was promoted to the rank of chief when the new army was reorganized. Since then, he has considered himself a Han Chinese. is no longer a Xianbei person with no culture and no sense of honor.
The wolf soldier who lost his weapon was originally a member of the small clan without a surname, although he is now a member of the Han nationality, but he still left his old habits, in the face of the official's angry shouting, he only obeyed and did not resist, he didn't know where to find weapons for a while, only casually picked up the Huns' scimitar from the ground, just straightened up his waist, but it was pitch black in front of him, he thought strangely: "It's dark so suddenly?" "Lost consciousness afterwards.
It wasn't dark, but Shi Chang, who had just spoken, saw a stray arrow flying towards him. Directly penetrated the door of his subordinate's brain, and splashed red and white blood with brain pulp sprinkled on his face. The smell of fish in the nasal cavity is full. His face became hideous, and he quickly stepped up and slashed at the neck of the Hun soldier who climbed up, and the blood splashed again, this time he did not blink his eyes, his mouth kept scolding, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed out again and again.
With the assistance of the arrow array, Chen Xi selectively put more Huns up, and the pressure of the Changge hand and horizontal knife hand who defended the city wall increased dramatically instantly, and many wall sections even had Huns climb the wall and fight with the wolf army on the wall.
Chen Xi finally had to fulfill his duties under the persuasion of the two deputy commanders, and he ordered the crossbowmen in the rear to reduce the power of the arrow array, and used the density of each arrow fired to give the Huns an impression, telling the Huns that the troops stationed in the Huns had fewer and fewer arrows, and that they were already saving arrows. Of course, he is already a senior soldier, and he knows that the Huns will not be so easily fooled in a short period of time, and he needs to grasp the appropriate degree, and he also needs to pay a certain amount of casualties to achieve his goal.
"How many casualties are considered tragic?"
Chen Xi has made up his mind, he can't kill or wound too much, the soldiers under his command are the foundation of his future achievements.
***********************************************************************************
At noon, the commander of the Xiongnu, Youxian Wang Jishan, did not send any more attacking troops, but ordered the attack to be suspended, and the soldiers under his command were well fed and ready to attack again in the afternoon. This time, Ji Shan did not plan to send miscellaneous troops, not that he noticed that the density of the Han army's arrows had decreased, but that he thought that the Han army stationed in the garrison must be exhausted after three days of bloody fighting, and should send the elite up to test it, and if the Han army was struggling to deal with it, it would be necessary to launch a full-scale attack.
"King Liwang of Yougu sent someone to say that he had found the weak point of the Han army, and he could be ready to break through forcibly within a day. I also sent people to torture the Han troops who were pulled down from the battlefield, and learned that there was a stronger wall after this wall. In order to cooperate with the forced breakthrough operation of the Yougu Liwang Imperial Division, we must crush the Han army standing in front by tomorrow evening and drive the Han army to the second line of defense! ”
Ji Shan pinched the elbow of the sheep with his left hand, and kept gesturing in the air with his right hand, and his speech was a little blurred because his mouth was stuffed with mutton. His eyes sharply scanned the various Xiao Wangs gathered around him, paying special attention to the faces of King Huhun and King Tu Shen, and he wanted to see what these two Xiao Wang, who had lost more than 10,000 soldiers in three days, were thinking.
King Huhun and King Tu Shen were naturally extremely resentful and kind, and the army they brought with them had lost nearly 30,000 troops (including losing their combat effectiveness) in several battles, and one-sixth of the infantry in charge of the assault in the last two groups were warriors of their tribe. In order to confirm that the Huns in Helan Mountain were not wolves that had lost their claws and teeth, the two of them could be said to have invested a lot of money, and they received a word of praise that was neither salty nor light.
At present, the Huhun Department and the Tushen Department combined, there are no more than 40,000 soldiers capable of fighting. It is no longer possible to threaten the Right Xian Wang, but in the world of the jungle, resentment is resentment, and they dare not go to meet Jishan in this situation.
The tribe that came from Helan Mountain. The two most powerful tribes dare not speak out, and one can imagine how deferential the other small tribes are to Ji Shan.
Ji Shan took a bite of the lamb's elbow, his mouth stirred vigorously, and after swallowing, he said: "In the afternoon, the warriors of the Right Xianwang Department will be responsible for the main attack, and the left and right wings will be responsible for the Huhun Department and the Tushen Department. The rest of the tribes are in reserve, and they are in the rear, as long as my right Xianwang troops once they attack the wall guarded by the Han army. You're going to rush up at once! ”
King Tu Shen and King Huhun looked at each other when they heard this, and they wanted to stand up and chop Jishan with a knife, considering that they would not be able to live if they chopped Jishan. can only swallow the voice: "Attack, attack!" ”
King Hun grabbed the leather bag fiercely and poured a large sip of hot and sour wine, and said with compassion: "It is worthy of the right virtuous king!" In the morning, when I saw that the number of arrows fired by the Han army had decreased, and the number of arrows fired had decreased, I was immediately willing to summon the delicate men under my command! ”
Hear this. Those little kings all looked at Ji Shan. Some of the little kings who had lost more than half of them in the war were all aroused in their hearts, and their eyes became extremely vicious.
Ji Shan's eyes widened, he arranged for those small tribes to follow behind in order to win over, he didn't think that King Huhun's words immediately shattered some of the Xiao Wang's gratitude to him, and some of the Xiao Wang, who had suffered a lot of losses in the battle, looked at himself with vicious eyes, it was obvious that King Hu Hun said this on purpose? Ji Shan secretly thought: "I have no ability and is unruly, I have to find a way to destroy the main force of the Hun Department in Heshuo!" ”
There was a burst of intrigue, and the hot taste of the Huns before the decisive battle became extremely strong. It is extremely possible for a verbal conflict to turn into armed infighting at any time. The existence of contradictions between the Huns in the east and the west has not existed for a day or two, in fact, if it were not for the Hun tribes in Helan Mountain to join this war. Just the Right Valley Liwang Court and the Right Xian Wang Department may be easier to fight?
It is the instability of the Huns mentioned above that has changed the situation of the war many times, and in a certain way, Jiahe has done a very beautiful step in introducing the Huns from Helan Mountain.
Chen Xi, the commander of the wolf army on the opposite side, naturally didn't know what was going on inside the Huns, and he received a report from his subordinates that King Hutu and King Lou Fu, who had been defeated and surrendered, had been 'escorted' to the front line, and his subordinates asked if they were directly escorted to the front line.
Chen Xi just nibbled on two cakes casually for lunch, and after receiving the report from his subordinates during the inspection, he thought about it carefully, and felt that his own adults had absolutely profound meaning in letting King Hutu and King Lou Fu escort over at this time.
Chen Xi asked his subordinates: "Where are King Xiu Tu and King Lou Fu now?" ”
The subordinate replied: "It is guarded by the five hundred guards of the 'king' personally, and it is currently stopped at the third line of defense. ”
Chen Xi repeated the muttering "third line of defense" and finally understood, understanding that his lord asked King Hutu and King Lou Fu to come over The third line of defense was to help him hold on, and he planned to use these two Xiongnu tribe kings who had surrendered to deter the attacking Xiongnu army. Just after thinking clearly, when Xinxi was happy that his lord was scheming, the horn of the Huns over there immediately sounded.
After half an hour of meal and rest, the Huns were in the formation of the horn again, this time the soldiers of the Right Xian Wang Department were finally placed in the front of the entire array, the siege method of the Right Xian Wang Department was different from the Helan Mountain army, the Hun army of Helan Mountain was on foot before the siege, and the Right Xian Wang Department was riding a war horse in the queue, in contrast, the Helan Mountain Huns who had not fought for many years were indeed worse than the easterners who fought all the year round.
Chen Xi looked away from afar, and the Hun army in the array did not have a banner representing the belonging (number), but he still judged at the first time that it was the elite of the Huns who were responsible for the attack this time.
"Ji Shan is finally willing to give up his life?"
Not only Chen Xi was puzzled, but Chang Hao, the deputy commander of the wolf army who was in charge of commanding the defensive operations on the left flank, was also confused, because in front of Chang Hao was also a cavalry on horseback, and this cavalry did not carry any siege equipment, not even a climbing ladder.
Chang Hao sent someone to tell the commander Chen Xi to tell him his judgment.
Chen Xi successively received information from Chang Hao who defended the left flank and Cao She (du) on the right flank, and learned that the Hun army on the left and right flanks was cavalry, and he did not bring siege equipment and climbing ladders, he actually laughed wildly, "This old guy (Ji Shan) must have offended people!" ”
It is not difficult to make this judgment, the Xiongnu troops on the left and right flanks are obviously saying "I will not attack" in doing so, and the potential line is "Jishan is the main force of the attack", which is undoubtedly leaking military information.
After laughing, Chen Xi touched his chin (learned from Lin Bin), quite depressed, "Twists and turns!" ”
It is conceivable that the left and right flanks do not attack, only the army of the Right Xianwang Department attacks, if the wolf army is defeated in this situation, it is really too fake.
A pre-war tranquil......
The cavalry of the Right Xianwang Department moved, and about 5,000 light horsemen galloped up, and all the way the war horses stepped on the sea of corpses and blood, splashing human flesh or blood sticking to the crotch of the galloping horses. Within a short while, the first wave of attacking Hun cavalry approached the low wall for about 500 paces, and the Xiongnu soldiers jumped off their horses, and those horses galloped on their own after the master jumped down, galloping to the left and right.
Chen Xi's eyes shrank, and he said in his heart: "This is the foundation for the Huns to become the overlord of the grassland!" ”
The well-trained subordinates of the Right Xian Wang did not immediately charge after dismounting, they concentrated at the sound of the trumpet, and then set up a shield formation, waiting for the second group of companions to ride their horses forward, and the 5,000 soldiers of the Right Xian Wang stepped forward.
Chen Xi raised his right arm and roared loudly: "Large arrow array!" ”
The drummers beat the drums of war, and the crossbowmen who stood on the wall, in the turret, and in the formation of arrows behind the wall, all made the action of firing their arrows, and for a moment the light of the light shimmered.
Of course, the Huns heard the sound of war drums, and they were no strangers to the rhythm of the drums, and every time the Han army beat this drum, the arrows falling from the sky were definitely more dense than the raindrops. The soldiers of the Right Xian Wang's troops, who were marching forward in formation, subconsciously moved closer to each other, trying to reduce the spacing and make the shield array impermeable.
The crossbowmen of the wolf army held their breath, due to the different ranges, it was impossible to fire arrows at one time, and they waited to switch positions at any time.
The second group of Hun cavalry once again approached the low wall about 500 paces, and they still abandoned their horses, but this time they did not set up any more shield arrays, but roared and charged on their horses.
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed completely, he felt that his heart was beating fast, and the breath he exhaled was also hot. He was excited and excited, and bruises formed on his forehead and the palm of the hand holding the hilt. For a few days, the object of the wolf army's engagement has always been the Huns, and now the Right Xianwang Department has finally come up, since it is to fake defeat, then in any case, it is necessary to kill more Huns, and it is the best thing to kill and injure the soldiers of the Xiongnu's main force, the Right Xianwang Department.
"Listen to me!!"
With a roar of excitement, it roared out when the attacking troops of the Right Xian Wang's army formed a shield formation approached three hundred and fifty paces, the second wave of charging troops was at four hundred paces, and the third wave of troops was five hundred paces away.
"Shoot!"
The sky was covered with a dense stream of crossbow arrows with the characteristic sound of arrows......
