Chapter 166: The First Battle of Hanyue [3]

But is that all the war is over? Obviously, this could not satisfy Yang Zilu, although the attack of the longbow soldiers was fierce, but Yang Zilu could see that in fact, the casualties of this Yue soldiers were not large. They were just frightened by the rain of arrows like a storm, and looked at the dead and wounded lying on the ground, Yang Zilu estimated that the casualties this time were only more than 20 people. Of course, because the arrows are projectile, falling vertically from the head, there are more dead than wounded, and this is the only thing to be slightly proud of.

At this moment, a rapid trumpet sounded, and the red flag waved on the top of the mountain, like a cloud of fire. Seeing this, his face changed greatly, and he didn't realize it until this time. The cavalry of the Han Kingdom was only a hundred paces away from him!

They didn't know when the Han cavalry would arrive, and they were even more defenseless, and because the Yue soldiers had previously defended against arrows, their shields were facing the direction of the hill, which was equivalent to the fact that the Yue soldiers had sold their vulnerable flanks to the enemy.

"Attack!" Yang Tugou waved the spear in his hand and roared enthusiastically.

"Kill!" The cavalry roared and rode their horses, and the horses that had already warmed up were easily raised.

"Back to the defense!" Chou Wuyu roared, but unfortunately there was no momentum, and his voice was full of panic.

And the Vietnamese soldiers obviously have not recovered their morale from the blow of the arrow rain, and many people are frightened by the crazy arrow rain. Although they heard the order, they seemed even more alarmed. Some soldiers even reacted, but they felt as if their hands and feet were not their own, and their calves trembled. Many soldiers collided with each other in the process of walking around and forming a formation, which made the formation of the Vietnamese soldiers look particularly chaotic and miserable.

However, this situation became more and more chaotic as the cavalry approached more and more, especially when the Vietnamese soldiers heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves. At the last moment, when Yang Tugou led the cavalry only thirty steps away from the Yue soldiers, the Yue soldiers finally discharged a line of defense, and the two uneven armoured soldiers stared at the front with nervous faces, and the sharp Changge was flat, but the Yue soldiers behind were still flustered.

Soon the archers of the Yue Kingdom also shot arrows in a panic, there were not many arrows, and obviously because they were too panicked, the arrows were not accurate at all.

The Great Han Iron Cavalry was completely dismissive of such arrows, and now it was different from the equipment that had entered the Yue Kingdom to destroy before. The cavalry at the moment is all equipped with armored horses. He wears an iron mask and helmet full of the mythology of the Shanyue people on his face, and the leather armor on his body is equipped with a heart guard on the left and right, and his defense is not ordinarily strong.

Soon the armored cavalry collided with the enemy, I don't know if Fan Li deliberately reduced the length of the weapon to facilitate fighting in the woods, or because the weapons of the Yue Kingdom were originally like this. But no matter what, it also made Yang Tugou overjoyed, their riding spears were longer than the weapons of the Yue Kingdom.

The thick cavalry spear was the first to touch the shield of the Vietnamese soldiers, and if it was a skin wooden shield, then his fate was immediately shattered, and the arm of the Vietnamese soldier holding the shield was also broken. If it is a bronze tower shield, it will also leave a pit on the surface of the bronze tower shield. The Vietnamese soldiers holding the bronze tower shield also fell to the ground, but before they had time to congratulate themselves on their survival under the spear, a bowl-sized iron hoof was already enlarged in their eyes.

The collapse of the two rows of Vietnamese soldiers was beyond everyone's expectations, and the chaotic Vietnamese soldiers in the back were in chaos, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and fled frantically. Yang Tugou immediately led his soldiers and horses to cover the past.

Fan Li's eyes widened, and he looked at the Yue soldiers who were fighting with the cavalry in disbelief, except for some resistance at the beginning, it was a complete massacre in the later stage! This...... Is this still the elite armor of the Yue Kingdom? When did the elite armor soldiers of the Yue Kingdom become so weak?

Without waiting for Fan Li's order, Yu Yong had already led his troops and horses to the rescue. Although Yang Tugou was resentful, he did not have a hot head and charged into the Yue army. He drew an arc with his cavalry, took the corpses of wounded soldiers and comrades, and quickly retreated. All that was left for the soldiers was a long snake composed of gray and yellow dust.

"What about the loss!" Fan Li took a deep breath and asked Yu Yong, who had just come back.

Yu Yong's originally ugly face was even more ugly when he heard Fan Li's question. With a gloomy face, he said: "Seventy-three people were killed in the battle, and the wounded have not been counted, but there are no less than one hundred!" ”

When Fan Li heard this, he couldn't help but gasp slightly in surprise. Yu Yong looked at Fan Li, turned his head to stare in the direction of the Han army, and asked, "General, is it advancing or retreating now?" ”

When Fan Li heard this, his face showed hesitation, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and asked Yuyong: "Can we retreat?" ”

Yu Yong was stunned when he heard this, in fact, he asked Fan Li this question, hoping that Fan Li would choose to retire and take another path. But now that he heard Fan Li's answer, he thought about it carefully and smiled bitterly. Oh, yes! Can we get back? The initial battle was frustrated, and if you choose to withdraw at this time, your morale will undoubtedly drop again and again.

If it is usual, this is nothing, after ten days of rest, the morale of the army will slowly recover, and the shadow of defeat will be forgotten for a while. But does the current situation in the granary of the country allow them to grind on? If the route is diverted and there is no rest, how will the army of Yue Guo face the next Yang Zilu's blockade? The role of the army is not to retreat, but to attack!

Yu Yong said with a solemn face: "General, it seems that we can only fight a bloody battle with Yang Zilu here!" I think to guard against the rain of arrows from the Han barbarians, I think only the bronze tower shield can prevent it! ”

"Hmmm! It is a certain thing to concentrate all the Bronze Tower Shields, but it is not enough to do so, there are too few forests in the Bronze Tower Shields. Doctor Tongue, you take the soldiers to cut down trees in the woods on both sides and make tower shields. It doesn't matter if it's thicker, even if it's heavier, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the rain of arrows from the Han barbarians! Fan Li quickly thought of a way to deal with it, and it was much better than the way to deal with it.

"What the general said is very true!" Hearing this, he couldn't help but have a little more admiration in his voice. Originally, he was not very convinced of Fan Li, Fan Li's career was in the Wu-Yue War four years ago, because he preserved Gou Jian with the literary genre, and accompanied Gou Jian to Wu State. Therefore, many doctors in Yue Kingdom instinctively think that Fan Li may be smart, but he is more like a favored minister, but at this moment, Yu Yong has to change his opinion.

ps: Someone actually said that this book is a green hat text, Mu Mu is so aggrieved! What is a green hat? Did Xi Shi and Zheng Dan get that? for the indecent. Is it trivial? I didn't even kiss my mouth! Where did the cuckold come from? Besides, didn't Yang Zilu save Xi Shi and Zheng Dan? Depressed......
