Whoever dares to enter the range of the bed crossbow will be bombarded into slag, even if the Huns are brave, but no one dares to lead the army to attack the Han army in front. : Read novels
Even if the Han army that is advancing from the flank now, under the blow of the bed crossbow, they no longer dare to lead the army to attack casually.
Lin Dao is also a well-informed person, and he also knows the mind of the Hun king, knowing that at this time, his army has been captured by the Han army, and it is impossible to fight again, but for the sake of face, he did not order the cavalry to retreat.
Think about the army of more than 200,000 people, charging in one go, but not even touching the hair of the Han army, so retreating, it will really be very breathless.
But on the edge of the army, many Hun soldiers had been so frightened that they fled backwards, and retreat was inevitable.
Hehe, now, they don't know that their way back has been cut off.
Lin Dao thought about it, offered advice to Fuluo, and gave Yu Fuluo a grand excuse to retreat: "King, in fact, we still have a chance to defeat Liu Yi now. The Qin crossbow is not terrible, don't look at its power, it is almost indestructible, but the king also knows that the Qin crossbow is inconvenient to move, and it is also inconvenient to control, each Qin crossbow may require dozens of soldiers to operate, this time, we don't know that Liu Yijun has the Qin crossbow and fell for their tricks, and our sergeants don't have enough understanding of the power of the Qin crossbow, so we will sacrifice so many warriors. In fact, as long as we avoid the death of the Qin crossbow and do not meet their bows and arrows head-on, then the Qin crossbow is not terrible. You see, the king, Liu Yi's army is mostly infantry, and now it is on this vast plain, as long as we can bypass it and attack the back of their military formation, we can defeat Liu Yi's army in one fell swoop. ”
Yu Fuluo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded.
"It's a pity that our sergeants have been taken by the lethality of the Qin crossbow and have already been in chaos, and Liu Yijun has already prepared. Kill from both sides, trying to drive us away and compress us into the range of their Qin crossbows. Otherwise, we can now concentrate our superior forces and storm their ambush side, as long as we break through Liu Yi's army. You can go around to the back of Lewi's army to cover up and kill. But. Now that our troops are tired and can no longer fight, please give the order to retreat first. Exit their ambush circle, then we will stabilize our position, and then attack the army of Leviet. Lin Dao said, his eyes firm: "Liu Yi thinks that with the Qin crossbow, he can defeat us?" Then he was wrong, let's not forget. We are cavalry, in the plains, our cavalry is the invincible king, he should not fight against our cavalry army in this plainland, and we, too, should give full play to the specialties of our cavalry, a blow missed, immediately retreat, after the battle with the Liu Yi army. Then the return army rushed to kill, and so on, dragging Liu Yi's army on this vast plain, so, didn't they let us handle it? ”
"The military advisor is right. That's how we win. Yu Fuluo's angry state of mind finally eased his anger a little under the words of Lin Dao, a Han military advisor.
"Hehe, the most ridiculous thing is. Liu Yi actually set up ambushes on both sides of the Qin crossbow army array, trying to prevent us from attacking and killing the flank of their Qin crossbow army formation from the flank. Doesn't he know the characteristics of our cavalry horses? Now, we have a vast operational space behind us, and we don't care about them and retreat. Then, all his ambushes are useless. When all their armies are assembled, then will they bear the wrath of our cavalry. ”
Not only Yu Fuluo, but also many Xiongnu generals were deeply convinced of Lin Dao's statement. Many Xiongnu generals, they usually look down on this helpless Han military division, if it weren't for Yu Fuluo's heavy on him, Lin Dao would have been killed and disabled by those Huns. At this moment, they knew that this Han military division was indeed a bit unique, at least, his analysis made them feel like another village.
Without Lin Dao, they really didn't know what to do at the moment, and they didn't know how to deal with their king's wrath.
"King, let's retreat first, integrate the sergeants, and then kill them one more back to the horse gun, Ley's army can't escape in this plain."
"That's right, the king, give the order quickly, the Liu Yijun on both sides is about to kill."
A group of generals spoke out in support of Lin Dao's retreat opinion.
"Okay, then let's retreat twenty miles back and reorganize the army first. Herald ......"
"Report ......"
When the Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo was about to give the order to order the army to retreat, there was a commotion behind the cavalry formation, and someone shouted loudly to interrupt the Xiongnu king's order.
"Say, what's the matter?" Yu Fuluo's eyes were like lightning, and he turned his head to glance at the sergeant who was galloping on his horse.
"Great, great, oh no!"
The sergeant knelt down on the ground in a panic and said.
"Huh?" A strong uneasiness suddenly surged in Yu Fuluo's heart, and he couldn't help frowning and said, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter!" ”
"King, a cavalry of the Han army appeared behind us, and their retreat was cut off." The sergeant kneeling on the ground secretly glanced at Yu Fuluo with a pale face.
"Oh?" Yu Fuluo looked suspicious, returned to his horse, stood up on the horse's back, and then looked back over his army.
Many generals also heard this, stood on horseback, and looked back.
......Shh
A Hun general snorted and shouted disdainfully: "Just the cavalry behind? What are you panicking about? Although we were blocked by Liu Yijun's Qin crossbows, it was difficult to kill them in front of their military formation, but when will we, the Huns, be afraid of the Han cavalry? Han? Do they ride horses? ”
"Haha, General Hasa is right."
"No, no, no......"
The sergeant stammered and said as if inarticulate: "You, you can see clearly, our cavalry can't retreat, it's over......
"What nonsense? Hey? Someone shouted at the sergeant, but they soon realized that something was wrong. Because, in front of the Han cavalry far behind, at a glance, there was a little black thing on the ground, far away, extending to both sides for more than ten miles. When they came, there was no black stuff on the ground. What is that?
Many people were surprised to see that in their army, many frightened sergeants were driven by Liu Yijun, who was killed on both sides, desperately fleeing, but after rushing into the black area, those cavalry suddenly fell off their horses one after another, and people turned on their backs. It was not much better than when their army was hit by Qin's crossbow.
"Bastard! Who let them escape? Yu Fuluo saw so many sergeants fleeing without receiving his orders, wanting to flee the battlefield, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of anger in his heart. When I saw those rushing into the black and black area, one by one the cavalry fell to the ground, and I couldn't help but stare at them. Weird: "What are those?" ”
"The King. That's a weird nail, you see, that's what it is. "This sergeant who came back to report actually got an iron thistle back. He presented it to the king of the Huns: "Just now, the cavalry of the Han army scattered this strange nail behind us, and laid down a large array of nails that was more than ten miles long, blocking our retreat. I, our people. Can't escape......"
"Tribulus terrestris?" Lin Dao also knew this kind of thistle, and subconsciously gasped and exclaimed, "What did you say?" A large array of thistles that is more than ten miles long? What a big deal! It's over......"
"Strategist, do you know this kind of thing?" Yu Fuluo looked up and found that Lin Dao's face was like earth at the moment, and he didn't have the calm demeanor that he had just talked about, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Great King......" Lin Dao said bitterly: "Great King, you can just throw it on the ground and understand, no matter what, throw it on the ground." There will be a spike upward, and our retreat has been cut off by this little object. Liu Yi is so big, more than ten miles long, one or two miles wide iron thistle terrestris array. Hehe, king, we have fallen for Liu Yi's tricks, Liu Yi this time. They came prepared, intent on burying our more than 200,000 Hun cavalry. Today, it looks like we have to fight them to the death. ”
"What? Lewy has such a big appetite? You want to eat our 200,000 Hun warriors in one bite? Isn't he afraid to die? Yu Fuluo was also dumbfounded.
In fact, Yu Fuluo has now lost 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and at most there are 170,000 or 80,000 cavalry. However, more than 100,000 cavalry, that is also cavalry, Liu Yi actually wants to kill them all in one battle? Yu Fuluo didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that he would be trapped by Liu Yi when he died.
"Pass the order, and the whole army will retreat twenty miles back! Ben Wu didn't believe that this kind of little thing plus that little Han cavalry could cut off our retreat. ”
"No, my lord, the dense array of thistles and terrestris cannot be rushed by our cavalry."
"Humph! What if you can't rush through? Do you want to rush forward again? How powerful is the Qin crossbow? Everyone has seen it, and also, Liu Yijun on both sides is not easy to deal with, can our people break through? They are besieging us, and if we don't retreat, we will really be trapped in the siege of Lewy's army. Yu Fuluo was really anxious now, he shouted: "I don't believe it, with his Liu Yi and this king's strength, he still dares to fight a war of annihilation against the 200,000 cavalry of this king." If he annihilates our 200,000 cavalry in this way, then we will not talk about migrating to the land of the Han people from now on, and from now on, we will go far away from Mobei, and we will never step into the land of the Han people. ”
"Hun warriors, kill! Kill me back. ”
"Kill!" To kill back is to retreat, and the Hun army shouted in unison, fleeing faster than anyone else.
Of course, Yu Fuluo did not blindly let the sergeant rush into the dense iron thistle terrestris array and hit the nails to die. A large array of thistles with nowhere to stand, breaking in, must have been stabbed by a nail in the horse's hooves, the war horse stumbled and fell to the ground, and the sergeant fell to the ground from the war horse, which would only be a dead end. With a clear eye, you can see the cold and deadly nails, who will break into it again? Before Yu Fuluo rushed back to the Tribulus Formation, he immediately ordered the sergeant to clear a passage where he could retreat.
In fact, it is very easy to destroy the large array laid by such small objects, as long as there is enough time, it is enough to check the thistle terrestris. A piece of cake.
However, will Lewis give them time to escape calmly? When I first thought of setting up this big array, I had already thought of such a situation. Huang Xu and other 20,000 soldiers are staring at it, as long as they see the Huns' soldiers sweeping out of the passage, they will thicken the thickness of the iron thistle terrestris array on the other side, iron thistle, and now there is.
This thistle terrestris array is not used to annihilate the Hun army, but to hinder the retreat of the Hun army, so as long as they are intercepted. It was not necessary for the 20,000 cavalry led by Huang Xu to confront the Hun cavalry.
Even the frontal bed crossbow array is not the main means of annihilating the Huns, that is mainly a means used to shock and attack the sharp spirit of the Hun cavalry. The lethality of the bed crossbow is great though. But as Lin Dao said, its limitations are also very large, as long as their cavalry does not enter the range of the arrow, then the bed crossbow is useless no matter how powerful it is.
The first wave of the Xiongnu vanguard army charged, they didn't know that Liu Yijun had such a killing weapon. That's why a group of military horses were killed. Afterward. The Hun army that rushed up was also unaware for a while, and they would enter the range and be killed for various reasons, but after seeing the power of the bed crossbow. No sergeant will enter to die. In this way, even if the mission of the bed crossbow is completed, it can only play a role in deterring the Hun army.
In fact, the arrows of the bed crossbow are fired flat. The cavalry of the Huns, if they had seen the launch track of the bed crossbow, when they saw the bed crossbow firing bows and arrows, they all fell to the ground, which could also make the bed crossbow lose its due power. To be honest, if it is a soldier in later generations who knows how to crawl and advance, they can also touch the front of the crossbow array. Of course, Liu Yi had already thought about such a situation. Before the bed crossbow array, traps were widely spread, and a group of archers, pikemen, etc. were left to protect the bed crossbow array, just to prevent such a situation from happening.
The final attack on the Xiongnu army had to rely on the armies on both sides of Dian Wei, Zu Mao and Tai Shici.
It was when Fuluo waved his army desperately to clear the iron thistles that blocked their retreat, the troops on both sides. Finally, an encirclement was formed, and the final strangulation was carried out on the Hun cavalry in the encirclement.
That's right, this is the real strangulation.
The pikemen charged ahead, the archers behind. The Hun cavalry, who had not seen the power of the bow and arrow salvo of Liu Yi's army, was once again heartbroken. Everyone's hands and feet are cold.
The sergeants on both sides, firing thousands of arrows in unison, created a momentum that is definitely not weaker than the salvo of bed crossbows, and even Dong Zhuo's cavalry army is difficult to impact Liu Yi's military formation, not to mention these Hun cavalry who have long been frightened?
As far as the bow and arrow reached, patches of Hun cavalry were shot to the ground. Push them to the middle ground and keep compressing.
The original Hun stragglers who fled in all directions had already been shot, and now, a large number of Hun cavalry, panicked and squeezed together, but, the work of cleaning up the thistles in the rear, it was difficult to open a road for a while and a half to let them jump out of the encirclement, so it seemed that a large number of Hun cavalry in a panic on the battlefield, they were galloping back and forth in a narrow space, like ants in a hot pot, panicked all day long.
Some of the Hun cavalry who were unwilling to be shot by the approaching Liu Yijun tried to charge and break through to the Liu Yijun on both sides, and at most, there were three or two horse cavalry to attack the Liu Yijun together, but in front of the arrows that fell like rain, in front of the long spear cluster, they could not break through the defense line of the Liu Yijun at all, and could only leave countless corpses and gather in the middle.
The battle was almost one-sided and slaughtering.
Yu Fuluo was already red-eyed, the menacing more than 200,000 cavalry did not expect to end up in such a situation in the blink of an eye, and they were really besieged and killed by Liu Yi, and they actually had no power to fight back.
At this time, Yu Fuluo also understood that Liu Yijun's strength was not blown, even if there was no Qin crossbow with amazing lethality, everyone lined up for a decisive battle, and his cavalry might not be able to take advantage of Liu Yijun, the bows and arrows of the Han people were too powerful.
Of course, the Han people are too cunning and scheming, and he never imagined that Liu Yi would set up a death array for him in this plain place. Who would have thought that Lewi would use these little quadrangular nails to block the retreat of his army? If they had known that Liu Yi had such a conspiracy, he could have ordered the army to suddenly move to the same side without forming an encirclement, and he might not have been able to force a breakthrough. It was because they thought of their cavalry, coming and going like the wind, even if there was an ambush from Lewi's army in front and on the flank, they were confident that they could rely on the foot strength of their horses to retreat from the back, quickly leave the battlefield, and escape from the ambush of Lewy's army.
Liu Yi used countless small nails to set up a large array, which made them become turtles in the urn, and made their whole army immediately fall into a panic.
Yu Fuluo was anxious, but also had to admire Liu Yi's genius stroke of using thistle terrestris to block the retreat of his 200,000 army.
Now, a group of Xiongnu leaders are surrounding Yu Fuluo, shouting to protect Yu Fuluo to break through and escape. They watched Liu Yi's army coming, and had to worry about the possibility of the entire army being wiped out, no matter what, the Hun king must not fall into Liu Yi's hands. Last time, the Huns invaded and merged the state, and the Huns were assassinated by the Han people, which was a great shame for their Huns.
Even if the 200,000 cavalry are all wiped out, the king of the Huns cannot fall into the hands of the Han army.
In the end, it was Lin Dao who came up with an idea to give Yu Fuluo a chance to escape.
