Chapter 183: The Decisive Battle

The sun is rising.

Xianbei Zhongjun.

Budugen bowed his head slightly, and a strong, strong-looking, fierce cavalry commander stepped out of the battle, reached out and touched his tongue, unloaded the iron-tire bow on his back, and drew a thumb-thick wolf's tooth arrow from the quiver and put it on the string, and in a trembling crunch, the strong bow with four or five stone pulling force had been filled.

A tremor that shattered the eardrums was followed by a long, mournful scream that quickly moved away into the sky to the left.

……

Xianbei Left Army.

"Huh~~"

"Poof~~"

After a long scream, there was a crisp sound of arrows breaking the ground, Wu Li suddenly turned over and dismounted, galloped forward a few steps and pulled out a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow from the grass, turned back to Kebineng and said, "King, it's the arrow of Budugen." ”

"Really?" Kebineng's slightly narrowed eyes opened, looked up at the dark and gloomy long sky, leisurely raised his strong right arm and waved it forward, and said, "Start the assault!" ”

"Order!" Wu Li suddenly turned over and got on the horse with a loud shout, raised the mace in his hand to the sky, and then led it forward, shouting loudly, "Da Xianbei warriors, kill it~~"

"Kill~~"

A thousand Xianbei warriors responded with a bang, and they rode forward one after another.

……

In front of the Han army.

Fang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Did the Xianbei people start?

Suddenly, Fang Yue's raised right hand had been waved down, and the heralds behind Fang Yue rode away, quickly conveying Fang Yue's military orders, and in the fluttering sound of hunting flags, there was a sudden sound of sonorous metal impact, as well as the sound of thousands of soldiers stomping on the cold earth.

A whole thousand hoplites wearing heavy armor and holding huge shields in their hands rushed forward like a rolling iron stream, surging forward across the banner array, and marched to a hundred steps in front of the Han army formation to settle down, when the infantry slammed the giant shield in their hands to the ground, there was a dull loud noise between heaven and earth, as if the earth was trembling slightly.

As soon as the heavy infantry finished the formation, a dense forest of spears surged out from the banner array, and two thousand elite pikemen rolled forward in a neat formation with sharp spears in their hands, and began to line up behind the heavy infantry formation.

……

The Han army was in the rear, on a high lookout.

Guo Tu couldn't help but say to Pei Yuanshao beside him: "It is worthy of the Bingzhou veteran brought by General Fang Yue, this is a real elite of a hundred battles." ”

Pei Yuanshao bowed slightly, admiring in his heart, but he involuntarily retorted: "What about the elite of a hundred battles? Do you think that when Bo Qi and his old brothers wandered to the Central Plains, there were still few elites of the Han army? The Northern Army and the Southern Army, known as the most elite central official army of the Han Dynasty, were not burned outside the Tiger Prison Pass? ”

Guo Tu smiled slightly, and did not argue.

Guo Tu personally participated in the battle of burning the central official army of the Han Dynasty, and Guo Tu knew how lucky he was to win at that time! If it weren't for Chun Yuqiong's straw bag to lead the Han army, if it wasn't for the lord's decision to kill, if it wasn't for the canyon terrain of Tiger Prison Pass, if it wasn't for the dry weather, it would be easy to set fire~~

As long as any of these links go wrong, the outcome of that battle will be completely different, to this day, Guo Tu will still feel frightened when he thinks back, and only the cold-blooded horse butcher can still be calm and indifferent, and this is exactly what Guo Tu admires the most, and even worships Ma Yue.

Ma Yue is such a surname, if he doesn't gamble, he will bet all the bets once he gets the opportunity!

……

Xianbei Zhongjun.

Budugenyou looked around, and the Kebineng group on the left flank had begun to launch a tidal attack, and the cavalry in a group of thousands of horsemen advanced one after another, like a raging flood, wave after wave, endlessly surging towards the Han army waiting in front of them.

The general Qu Tuyu rode his horse to Bu Dugen, and said in a condensed voice: "King, it seems that Kebineng is really going to fight with the Han army!" He actually sent a full twenty thousand cavalry to charge continuously, which was almost the strongest force he could send, and there were less than two thousand cavalry left around him. ”

"It seems that Kebineng also knows that this war is related to the life and death of the Xianbei clan!" Bu Dugen said angrily, "If you win, Da Xianbei will be able to continue to survive and fight against the Han Dynasty, but if you lose, Da Xianbei will disappear forever under the butcher's knife of the Han people, just like the once extremely powerful Great Huns." ”

Qu Tuyu said: "However, why did Kebineng divide the 20,000 cavalry into 20,000 cavalry and charge in turn? Wasn't that the target of the Han army's longbowmen? ”

"This, Kebineng has already sent someone to tell the king." Bu Dugen said, "This is just to consume a large number of arrows of the Han army, try to exhaust the spirit of the Han army, eliminate the fighting spirit of the Han army, clear the obstacles for the charge of the Tuoba Jiefen army, and create an opportunity for the final assault of the king's army." ”

……

Xianbei Right Army.

"Father, General Kebineng's army on the left flank has begun to attack." Seeing the black-pressed cavalry rolling forward like a tide, the young Tuoba Li's chest was churning with blood, and a flush had already appeared on his white face, Huo Ran looked back and asked Tuoba Jiefan, "Can General Kebineng's attack crush the Han army's military formation?" ”

"Huh?"

"If you can't, it's your father's army's turn to attack next, right? This time, please let the father give the child permission to lead the army into battle. ”

"Hmm."

Tuoba Jiefen hummed softly, his expression was gloomy, Kebineng actually invested twenty thousand cavalry to charge, this is already the strongest military force he can send, he is going to fight with the Han people? When did this guy become so generous and so righteous?

The heavy haze quietly enveloped Tuoba Jiefen's black eyes, Kebi can launch a fierce attack on the Han army at such a cost, and it is bound to force Tuoba Jiefan to launch a follow-up attack desperately! At this time, if Tuoba Jiefan still wants to preserve his strength and deal with it in vain, he will not only incur the hatred of the two groups of Kebineng and Budugen, but he is afraid that even the warriors of his own tribe will disdain him in their hearts.

……

The Han army was in the rear, on a high lookout.

"One team, two teams...... Twenty teams! My God~~" Pei Yuanshao suddenly gasped and said in a mouthful of air, "Are Xianbei people crazy?" Twenty thousand cavalry were thrown into the charge at once, and it was foolish to divide the twenty thousand cavalry into twenty teams to charge? ”

"The Xianbei people's tactics are indeed a bit strange." Guo Tu also frowned and said, "Dividing the 20,000 cavalry into twenty teams to charge in turns, although it can effectively reduce the lethality of our archers, and cause endless and irresistible psychological pressure on the enemy cavalry to the officers and soldiers of our army, but it will also reduce the impact of the Xianbei cavalry, and it is obviously a fool's dream to rely on such tactics to break down the formation of our army." ”

"Yes, it's just a target for our archers to practice archery." Pei Yuanshao said in a condensed voice, "If 20,000 cavalry charge together, even if our army's archers can be stacked down in half, there are still 10,000 cavalry who can rush to the front of our army's formation, at least there is a chance to compete with our army's elite pikemen, but with a charging method like now, it would be good to have one or two thousand cavalry rushing to the front of the formation." ”

Guo Tu pondered for a moment, and Huo Ran said: "It seems that the Xianbei people want to rely on their strong military superiority to carry out wheel warfare, the purpose of the 20,000 cavalry charge is not to break down the formation of our army, but only to consume our army's arrows, and to eliminate the sharpness and fighting spirit of our army." ”

"I see." Pei Yuanshao suddenly said, "Do you want to send someone to remind Fang Yue of that kid?" ”

"No need." Guo Tu shook his head and said, "General Fang Yue has been fighting on the border for many years, and has fought countless battles with the Xianbei people, so he already knows the tactics of the Xianbei people well. ”

……

In front of the Han army.

Fang Yue's slightly narrowed eyes opened, and he said to the junior colonel behind him: "Order, divide the five thousand archers into five teams, one team to release arrows, one team to standby, and the other three teams to rest!" If the enemy rider arrives, you can't shoot arrows, and you can only release arrows after the enemy rider enters the direct shooting step. ”

"Yes."

The Colonel took the order, and in less than a moment two groups of lightly armored archers ran out of the banner array, one of them went behind the shield wall of the hoplites and began to line up, while the other sat down on the cold grass. Fang Yue rode his horse over a hundred paces and came to the front of the hoplite formation, and the sound of horses' hooves like a landslide sounded in front of him, and the first thousand cavalry of the Xianbei people had already surged.

……

"Ha~~"

Wu Li suddenly shouted, his legs slammed into the horse's belly, and the mount under his crotch raised his head and hissed sadly, and finally completed the final acceleration, and began to rush forward at top speed, behind Wu Litu, a thousand Xianbei cavalry shouted and scrambled to follow, and the formation that should have been arranged in a straight line was now scattered.

Wu Litu bent down slightly, his strong body was rising and falling rhythmically with the galloping of the war horse, the five-stone iron-tired bow was already in his hand, the two thumb-thick wolf tooth arrows were already on the string, and the cold arrow cluster had pointed to the front, the military general standing with a spear in front of the Han army.

"Drink!"

Wu Li suddenly exhaled, and the iron tire bow opened in an instant.

……

In front of the Han army.

The icy killing machine spread like spider silk, Fang Yue raised his head in shock, only to see two cold stars coming in at the lightning, Fang Yue shouted loudly and swept out the steel gun in his hand like lightning, which could be swept away by the two cold stars that shot at the lightning, and in the crisp impact sound, two thumb-thick wolf tooth arrows flew in response, and Fang Yue's arms holding the gun were faintly numb.

What a strong brawl!

Fang Yue stared closely at the military general in front of the Xianbei Formation, who was riding a horse and stretching a bow, and suddenly shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The 1,000 archers who had been waiting for a long time let go of their right hands in an instant, and the wolf's tooth arrows stored on the strings had flown out of the strings, shooting like lightning at the surging Xianbei cavalry in front, the neighing of the war horses and the wails of the warriors rushed into the sky in an instant, and dozens of Xianbei cavalry fell to the ground with a bang.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Almost at the same time, Wu Litu also snorted viciously, and the Xianbei cavalry straddling the horses also began to fire back with arrows, but the accuracy of the horse shooting was originally poor, plus the Han army also had the protection of the hoplite shield wall, so it was impossible to bring the actual surname to the Han archers.

"Ahhh~~"

When the archers of the Han army were about to shoot the second wave of arrows and inflict greater damage on the Xianbei people, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded in front of the formation, and the sound of rolling hooves was clearly transmitted to the ears of the soldiers of the two armies, and the remaining more than 900 Xianbei cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads and cut diagonally in front of the Han army's hoplites.

The first wave of charges had just ended, and the second thousand cavalry of the Xianbei people could rush again.

……

The Han army was in the rear.

A junior colonel hurriedly climbed up to the towering lookout and said urgently: "The general is not good. ”

Pei Yuanshao turned around when he heard this, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Princess~~" Xiao Colonel gasped, "Her Royal Highness the princess has crossed the river and is about to arrive at the camp on the north bank." ”

"Huh?"

"What!"

Pei Yuanshao and Guo Tu were taken aback at the same time when they heard this, and Pei Yuanshao was even more furious and said, "Why don't you persuade her?" Her Royal Highness the princess is so noble, in case there is a mistake, your kid will not be able to cut off even if he has 10,000 heads, and if you die, he will die, and General Ben and Mr. Guo Tu will have to lose their heads with you! ”

"The villain persuaded it." Xiao Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and he said bitterly, "But I can't persuade it, Her Royal Highness the princess also asked someone to beat the villain, general, look at the villain's face, hands and body, all his grandmother's injuries, the villain also followed the lord and the general all the way from Nanyang to kill, when did you suffer this kind of bird spirit?" ”

Guo Tu took a breath and said to Pei Yuanshao: "General, let's go and persuade the princess." ”

……

In the Xianbei cavalry wave after wave, as if endless, endless charge, in the Han army soldiers almost numb waiting, the time quietly came to noon, when the desolate horn sounded, the last wave of Xianbei cavalry finally fled back in panic, the battlefield over the smoke and dust, but no longer heard the upsetting sound of horses' hooves.

……

Xianbei is in the back.

Kebineng's twenty thousand cavalry launched a charge from the left flank of Xianbei, rushed to the front of the Han army and immediately cut diagonally with an arrow, made a big circle, and returned to the main formation from the right flank of Xianbei, so the Xianbei cavalry of the Tuoba Jiefen Legion and the Budugen Legion saw the most tragic and shocking scene.

A group of bloody, demoralized, glazed, seriously wounded cavalry slowly drove in front of them, filling the sky and earth only with endless wails, although there were not many soldiers in the Kebineng Legion who were really killed, but the vast majority of them were seriously wounded, more than half of the cavalry were wearing several arrows, riding on horseback and crumbling~~

Often as they walked, a cavalryman fell from his horse, fell to the ground and was silent.

With such an injury, coupled with the fact that there are not enough wizards in the army to heal the wounded soldiers, the result will be a disaster, and at least more than half of the wounded soldiers will die in endless pain and helpless torment!

"Warriors of the Tuoba Tribe!"

A loud shout sounded like thunder, and hundreds of nearby Tuoba tribesmen turned their heads sideways, and their expressions were terrible, and their bloody vultures suddenly appeared in front of them, and there were at least ten wolf tooth arrows inserted in the legs, arms, and bodies, and one of the sharp wolf tooth arrows was the entire length of his left shoulder, and the sharp arrows went straight through his back, and there were red blood beads slowly dripping down the tip of the arrow~~

Witnessing such a terrible situation, the soldiers of the Tuoba Department gasped one after another.

Wu Li's eyes suddenly showed a hideous color, and he shouted loudly: "Our warriors of the Kebi Neng Division have proved with blood and life that we are worthy of the title of the descendants of the Heavenly Wolf!" The warriors of the Tuoba tribe, it's up to you next, I hope you can be like us, worthy of the title of the descendants of the wolf~~"

"The warriors of our Tuoba tribe will not let you down!"

"Yes, your blood will not be shed in vain!"

"We must make the Han people pay for this!"

The warriors of the Tuoba tribe responded violently, and the young Tuoba Liwei was even more enthusiastic, holding up the wolf tooth in his hand to the sky, and shouted: "Step on the Hetao and slaughter the Han people!" ”

"Flatten the Hetao and slaughter the Han people!"

Hundreds of Xianbei warriors around Tuoba Liwei responded violently, and the strong murderous aura filled the hustle and bustle in the Xianbei array, and more and more soldiers began to shout frantically, and finally more than 20,000 cavalry of the entire Tuoba tribe began to shout, and the loud shouts were about to shatter the sky, and the sound crossed the silent sky and clearly transmitted to the front of the Han army.

Witnessing the shouts of the Tuoba warriors wave after wave, Tuoba Jiefen was both happy and worried, and relieved that the tiger father had no dogs, although Tuoba Liwei was young, only eighteen years old, but he had begun to show the excellent qualities that he should have as a tribal leader, and knew how to motivate the army!

If you have a son like this, what more can a husband ask for?

But what worries Tuoba Jiefan is that the warriors of the Tuoba tribe have high morale and high morale, but it is not necessarily a good thing, the Han army in front is well-trained, well-equipped and experienced in battle, it is a formidable tiger and wolf army, but now even if Tuoba Jiefan has the heart to retreat, it is not possible.

"Kill~~"

"Kill, kill, kill~~"

Tuoba Li roared slightly, more than 20,000 Xianbei warriors responded violently, the momentum shook the sky, Tuoba Li Wei looked back at Tuoba Jiefen, Tuoba Jiefen slightly bowed, Tuoba Li Wei looked up, and the mace in his hand was pushed forward, and a clear long howl suddenly rushed into the sky.

"Great Xianbei warriors, ride your horses, carry your scimitars, like brave wolves to level the Han army in front, let those humble two-legged sheep tremble under our scimitars~~"

"Whoa~~"

More than 20,000 Xianbei warriors roared with all their might, following Tuoba Liwei and swept towards the Han army miles away, tens of thousands of iron hooves trampled wildly on the cold desert, making a majestic and suffocating hoof sound, and even the solid earth began to tremble and groan.

……

In front of the Han army.

The cold wind was cold, swinging the dark cloak behind Fang Yue, crackling, the vast dark clouds swept from the sky, obscuring the powerless solitary sun in the sky, the four fields were gloomy, and a cold snowflake fell from the sky, gently falling on the tip of Fang Yue's nose, and suddenly turned into a drop of crystal snow water, Fang Yue's consciousness was suddenly clear.

Are the Xianbei people finally starting to come?

Fang Yue Huo Ran looked back, the hoplites looked like iron, their eyes were like knives, they had experienced too many tragic bloody battles, the will of these veterans had become harder than a rock, even if the sky fell, they would try to use the big shield in their hands to push it back.

Behind the hoplites and elite pikemen, a full 5,000 longbowmen are ready for battle! The archers looked grim and energetic, and did not show the slightest tiredness, because Fang Yue divided them into five teams to take turns shooting arrows to ensure that there was enough time to recover their strength.

Fang Yue rode forward, the steel gun in his hand hit the big shield of the first hoplite, and there was a dull sound, the hoplite was in high spirits, suddenly straightened up, his head raised and stared at Fang Yue like a wolf, and shouted: "General! ”

Fang Yue bowed slightly, and continued to ride forward, the point steel spear in his hand knocked over the big shield erected into the wall one by one, the hoplites behind the big shield straightened their chests one after another, and their burning eyes gradually focused on Fang Yue, and slowly turned with Fang Yue's advance, until Fang Yue finally stopped on the far left side of the military formation.

Fang Yue's gaze finally fell on the five infantry colonels in front of the javelin-like formation, and shouted in a deep voice: "The Han army is mighty! ”

The five infantry colonels met the scorching gaze from above and responded in unison: "The battle will be won!" ”

"Hmm."

Fang Yue bowed his head slightly, the corners of his mouth floated with a faint calmness, and rode his horse away, the five infantry colonels Huo Ran turned their heads sideways, looked at Fang Yue's distant back, and shouted: "Please rest assured, the brothers will never disgrace the reputation of the Bingzhou Army!" ”

Fang Yue didn't look back, continued to gallop his horse, and disappeared into the dense forest on the left flank in less than a moment.

……

The Han army was in the rear and looked at the high platform.

Guo Tu and Pei Yuanshao failed to stop Liu Ming after all, and Her Royal Highness the princess, who insisted on going her own way, still crossed the river to the front of the battle, and climbed the lookout to watch the battle, Liu Ming grew up in the Forbidden Palace, and heard very early that the Xianbei people in the north were barbaric, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.

So today, Liu Ming wants to witness the heroic Han army defeat these barbaric Xianbei people.

Liu Ming just ascended the lookout, presented in front of her is a radiated golden iron armor, the majestic scene of ten thousand horses galloping, on the withered yellow and desolate desert, the black pressure of the Xianbei cavalry is like a dense ant swept over, the front of the Xianbei cavalry is only hundreds of steps away from the Han army, but their rear is still squirming on the distant horizon.

The clouds in the sky were like ink, and the cavalry on the ground was like a tide.

All that filled Liu Ming's ears was the thunderous sound of iron hooves, and at this moment, she couldn't hear any other sound!

Looking at Liu Mingxi's pink face with a hint of excited flushing, Guo Tu sighed secretly in his heart, and shook his head imperceptibly, Her Royal Highness the princess only felt that this war scene was spectacular and interesting, and how did she know the cruelty and bloodiness of war? Today, I don't know how many soldiers will die here.

……

Xianbei Zhongjun.

Qu Tuyu rode his horse again in front of Bu Dugen, and said in a deep voice: "King, Kebi Neng is finished!" Although the vast majority of the fighters escaped, more than half were mortally wounded and probably did not survive for a few days! The rest of the wounded soldiers were no better, only dragging down their people and making survival even harder. ”

"Hmm~~" Budugen bowed his head slightly, a trace of imperceptible compassion flashed in his eyes, and he tried his best to slow down his tone and said, "The Tuoba Department has begun to attack, after the consumption of the Kebi Neng Department in the morning, presumably the arrows of the Han army have been almost consumed, and the energy should be slack." ”

"Hmm." Qu Tuyu nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Now it's a contest between spear and shield, whether the Xianbei Iron Cavalry will break through the Han Army's spear formation, or the Han Army's spear formation will block the Xianbei Iron Cavalry's charge, and there will be results soon!" However~~ Even if the charge of the Tuoba Department cannot break the spear formation of the Han army, the Han army should suffer heavy casualties and become the end of the strong crossbow~~"

"Hmm~~" Bu Dugen bowed his head lightly and said in a condensed voice, "When the time comes, it's time for our Golden Tribe to launch the final blow!" ”

……

"Boom~~"

In the earth-shattering roar, the Xianbei cavalry could be killed.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The right arm raised by the infantry colonel waved down fiercely, and five thousand archers at the same time took arrows and bows, and raised them diagonally to the sky, and the next moment, the dense arrows like locusts had swept up in the air, whistling across the sky, and fell viciously towards the surging Xianbei cavalry array.

Hundreds of cavalry fell down with a miserable howl, and even though they were trampled into pulp by the surging iron hooves behind them, and many more wounded horses no longer obeyed the cavalry's drive, and began to rampage wildly, smashing the rows and columns of well-organized cavalry into confusion.

"Instigation~~"

"Xiuxiu~~"

In the endless sound of breaking the air, the arrows of the Han army longbowmen are like a dense rainstorm, pouring down frantically towards the Xianbei people's riding array, and the thin leather armor on the Xianbei people is not enough to resist the sharp arrow clusters, and the dense formation almost makes the Han army archers' arrows not in vain~~

The Xianbei cavalry fell down piece by piece like a weed that had been cut down.

"What's going on? Why is this happening! ”

In the surging Xianbei array, the young Tuoba Liwei couldn't believe his eyes! After a whole morning of non-stop archery, the Han army's longbowmen could still hold the bow? Can you shoot arrows? If this is the case, wouldn't these Han army longbowmen become iron men?

Tuoba Li was slightly wide-eyed, but he had no time to take care of these, the 20,000 cavalry of the Tuoba Department had begun to accelerate the charge, at this time, if the troops were collected, it would only make the formation more chaotic, and the Xianbei cavalry, who were at a loss, would really become a live target for the Han army's longbowmen.

Now there is only one way to live in front of the Tuoba Department, and that is to rush forward and break through the Han army's formation!

"Da Xianbei warriors, the time has come to prove your courage and fighting spirit, don't be afraid, don't hesitate, and rush forward bravely~~" Tuoba waved the mace in his hand with a slight exhaustion, looking up to the sky and howling, "Endless cattle and sheep, wealth and women are waiting for you to enjoy, slaughter all the Han people, chickens and dogs, kill ~~"

"Kill, kill, kill~~"

The Xianbei cavalry who escaped the baptism of arrow rain had red eyes, like a wounded wolf howling wildly, brandishing a sharp scimitar and slamming into the Han army's horse rejection array, as Pei Yuanshao said, 20,000 Xianbei cavalry launched a cluster charge, even if half of the Han army's archers were knocked down, there were still more than 10,000 cavalry able to rush to the front of the formation.

(To be continued)
