Chapter 103: The First Battle of Han and Hungary (Sixth Update)
In front of the Han army, the cavalry troops of the Southern Huns, at a glance, could not see the edge, from west to east to open the formation, standing in the outer encirclement of the forest, and then stretched endlessly, at least there were more than 20,000 or so, among which the banner of Da Dan Yu was hung in the front, and the Qiang Qu came to the front of the formation under the arch guard of the tribal leaders, and confronted Guan Yu.
"Who dares to fight a certain !?" Seeing that the Southern Xiongnu troops did not react in the slightest, a flash of anger flashed on Guan Yu's face, how could he not be angry if he was ignored like this?
The Xiongnu troops saw that Guan Yu was so powerful, but no one in their own tribe dared to fight, and many people lowered their heads in shame.
Qiang Qu's face tightened, he glanced left and right, and shouted coldly: "Which one is the first, can step forward to fight with the Han general?" ”
Hearing Qiangqu's words, the leaders of many tribes in the Southern Xiongnu seemed to have discussed without the slightest reaction, and even more of them were closing their eyes to recuperate, and the angry Qiangqu almost ran away.
"Okay, good, good, since you were scared by the Han army, you don't want to ask for it!!" Qiang Qu said with a gloomy face, the reaction of the tribal leaders was really too unexpected by Qiang Qu, and the princes and nobles in the royal tribe were also looking at these tribal leaders with angry faces, and now that the royal family has not been completely lost, these tribal leaders began to disobey the yang and the yin, if the remaining 40,000 troops were lost in the hands of the Han army, the princes and nobles couldn't help but shudder.
"Da Danyu, now that the Han army is strong, our army should avoid it!" One of the leaders was pushed out by the other leaders next to him, and he said helplessly.
"Avoid the edge? How to avoid it? Now that the royal court has suffered heavy losses, if it is not fought to the death with the Han army, what face does my Great Hun have left? A royal prince stepped forward angrily and scolded.
The leader sneered on his face, and said disapprerovingly: "This time, the leaders of my various departments led their troops to King Qin, and the rear is already empty, if you have a head-on battle with the Han army at this time, and suffer heavy losses, how can you stop the large army behind the Han army?" ”
"Hmph, this is the moment of life and death for my Great Huns, Ruoer and others will fight again, and let the Han army see the joke in vain." Seeing the two arguing, Qiang Qu interrupted with a cold face.
And the Guan Yu troops opposite the Southern Xiongnu army, seeing that the Southern Xiongnu did not react at all, thought that the Southern Xiongnu ignored their own generals, and they were all angry, their teeth were gritted "squeak", and their eyes showed endless fierce light.
No matter how good Guan Yu's temper was, he couldn't bear the snub of the Southern Huns, snorted coldly, raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking the Hugou camp!!! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill !!"
The momentum of the Han army skyrocketed, one by one holding spears, slowly beating horses and starting to charge, Guan Yu took the lead, and rushed towards the Southern Xiongnu at the forefront of the 5,000-strong army.
When the leaders of the Huns saw the 5,000 troops of the Han army, they dared to attack first, and they suddenly changed color one by one, and Qiang Qu was even more angry and shouted: "The Han army is too deceitful, and the whole army gives this single to attack the Han army!" ”
"Kill!!" The shouting of killing did not shake the earth as expected by Qiangqu, as if there was weakness, and the morale was low, but most of the cavalry in the army formation, holding machetes, drove horses to rush in the direction of the Han army, as soon as the troops moved, the Han army saw the inappropriateness of the Hun army, only to see those old and weak people, riding war horses are not elite horses, most of them are left behind, and the young and middle-aged horses are riding strong horses, rushing towards the direction of the Han army, dragging back and forth, and suddenly there is a large section in the middle.
Guan Yu saw such a funny military formation of the Hun troops, and couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth, and then secretly meowed at his rear, only to see the Han army troops, one by one, maintaining a constant speed, although they were impacting, but still maintaining the distance between the parties, it can be seen that the Han army is well trained! To be able to become the commander of such an elite army, Guan Yu, who was young, was naturally even more arrogant.
The two armies were a hundred paces apart, and the five thousand Han troops threw out a short spear, which made a piercing sound in the sky, and shot at the ** of the Hun cavalry.
"Flutter, flutter, boom" bursts of muscle cutting sound, hundreds of Hun cavalry with horses were shot and killed, wailing, but these Hun cavalry who were shot off the horse was destined to be tragic, the rear cavalry quickly pounced, ignoring the injuries and illnesses of the Huns on the ground, and directly stepped on the horse, and it became a meat sauce in a short time.
After three short gun shots, in the middle of the battlefield, the area close to the Xiongnu almost turned into a sea of blood, and many Xiongnu leaders saw such heavy losses, and the strength of the Han army was all abrupt.
"Kill !!" The two armies were fifty meters apart, and the five thousand Han troops took out the exquisite crossbow machine on their waists, and shot at the sky, and countless short crossbow arrows shot into the Hun camp, some shot into the eyes, some shot into the heart, some shot into the thigh, and even shot into the small **, causing nearly a thousand Hun cavalry to wail and fall off their horses to the end, and then they were trampled to death by the iron hooves of the horses.
And the small crossbow arrows of the Han army can be fired in bursts, five can be shot at a time, after four salvos, the Hun cavalry in front of the Han army suffered heavy losses, many recruits were the bloody scene on the battlefield, frightened and even ready to turn around and flee on the spot, but the Hun army followed one after another, and could not retreat at all, many Hun cavalry just turned the horse's head, and were hit by the Hun troops who rushed up from the rear, and then they were trampled to death under the horse.
The two armies have not yet fought head-on, the Hun cavalry has more than 5,000 deaths, and the Han army is only 100 people, the Hun cavalry is not so inferior, the Huns are good at shooting, but in the war, except for a few elites on the war horse, it is difficult to do the degree of empty hands and horse shooting, but now this Hun troops, most of them are temporarily mobilized, not to mention the lack of arrows, not to mention the lack of strong bows.
Moreover, the Xiongnu did not have stirrups and other novelties to prepare for war, seeing that the Han army had empty hands one by one, and could control the horses well, they were suddenly frightened and ignored the Hun cavalry, and the Qiang Canal in the rear was even more pale and pointed at the Han army's troops, unable to speak, which shows the horror of the Huns at the new cavalry of the Han army.
Short guns and small crossbows are the standard equipment of the Han cavalry troops, each cavalry is equipped with three short guns of about one meter and a small crossbow, twenty crossbow arrows, if the front is let go of the Han army, in the case of weak attack strong, can shoot the enemy in a large area.
After the two sides were shot with short guns and small crossbows, a sea of blood was vacant in the middle, and the Huns stopped their horses in fear, watching the Han troops who quickly hung the small crossbows back on their waists rushing towards them, one by one with pale faces and panicked expressions, worried that some novel weapons would appear in the hands of the Han army again.
