Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Harvest
The soldiers under Gongsun Xu used trebuchets to throw stones to kill people, although it was not the kind of bloody massacre, but the large-scale killing effect of the trebuchet on people and horses, as well as the large-scale killing effect caused by bows and arrows, was more terrifying than the bloody massacre.
Those are all living people, they are all living beings, and under such a double blow, it is like leeks in the earth, and a handful of them have been harvested.
Nanlin dispatched nearly 3,000 cavalry, including fifty heavy cavalry carefully built by Wuhuan Nanlin, who had been wiped out by more than one-third before they came into contact with Gongsun Xu's battle formation, which was equivalent to Gongsun Xu's emptying of the cavalry before and after.
There were also hundreds of cavalry separated between Gongsun Xu and their cavalry troops, and they were extremely confused, and they did not know what they should do at this time, whether to make a detour and retreat, or to rush forward.
These hundreds of frightened Wuhuan cavalry, they tried their best to control the war horses that stepped down, trying to make the frightened war horses stop, they wanted to turn around and run towards a way out that could escape, but the war horses under them were extremely uncooperative with them, and the war horses were already stupid by such a scene.
In this case, they only thought about escaping, and even if Nanlin and their respective leaders drove them, they would not choose to continue to charge forward.
Those huge stones were simply not something that flesh and blood could resist, and even if they had escaped the blockade of the trebuchets, they would have been shot dead by those archers.
The colleagues around them were killed so many people in a single glance, and there were almost no casualties on the enemy's side, and the number of people on the Han army's side was originally more than on their side, and they rushed hard at this time, which was the act of looking for death.
They tried to escape quickly, but there were huge stones and the corpses of their colleagues in front and behind, as if a large array of stones and corpses had trapped them in it.
Although there were some small passages between the stones and the corpses, they all wanted to run to one place, and they just forked the road to death.
In peacetime, they are all well-trained cavalrymen, and the war horses under their crotches have also undergone a period of training, and they can pass through those not spacious roads.
However, now it is on the battlefield, and it is a battlefield like Shura's hell, people are panicked and do not know what to do, and the horses are even more panicked.
The two aspects are superimposed, and these cavalry are directly trapped in the center of those stones and corpses, and they can't reach it even if they want to run and get out of the battlefield quickly.
If they are all subordinate to Nanlin or a leader's subordinates, someone comes forward to command, and they can still carry out an orderly escape operation, but these cavalry are divided into several chiefs' subordinates, and they all want to escape, so naturally no one will let anyone, if it is not for the fact that the number of them is roughly the same, and they are all within the range of the Han army's attack, they can all have infighting at this time.
Gongsun Xu had been observing the situation on the other side, and when he saw that the hundreds of cavalry soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies, and the confusion became a mess, he immediately sent an order to the shield bearers and pikemen to quickly outflank that position, and let them try to capture those Wuhuan cavalry alive.
Wuhuan cavalry, whether it is a war horse or a cavalry, is a very valuable asset, and Gongsun Xu really wants to take these into his arms.
Nan Lin looked at the cavalry team that had broken out in front of him and ran around, his mouth wide open, as if he was a wood carved clay sculpture.
At this time, Nanlin only had one thought in his heart, that is, to seize the time to retreat, withdraw all his men, and he wanted to take these Wuhuan warriors home.
He didn't want these warriors under his command to stay on Xiangping's side forever, the grassland was their destination.
As for Qiu Liju's side, let him die!
If it weren't for Qiu Liju, if it weren't for the great unification of the ethereal Karasuma Country, so that the Karasuma Country would become a big country on a par with the Great Han, they wouldn't have fallen into such a field.
The Wuhuan athletes who can return to the grassland and return home are definitely not more than thirty percent, and it depends on whether they can escape from these powerful Han soldiers this time.
Nan Lin was very depressed in his heart, he and the promotion general took more than 5,000 Wuhuan athletes to this side to help Qiu Liju, but as soon as he arrived here, the promotion of the adult died in Xingcheng in a daze.
On Xiangping's side, they didn't get any benefits at all, and the benefits were all taken up by Qiu Liju's old goods, and they would only think of them when they encountered danger.
This time the Han soldier is definitely a hard bone to gnaw, no, it should be said that he can't gnaw at all, and he will break his teeth when he bites.
Fighting hard with Gongsun Xu's troops, Nanlin didn't dare to think about it.
Gongsun Xu's battle formation is like a cliff that cannot be filled, and no matter how many people fill it, it will be filled.
The three thousand Wuhuan cavalry had already been crippled by Gongsun Xu's team in just a few moments, and he didn't want to push the remaining soldiers into the trap of death no matter what.
The attack on the reinforcements' side had already been extinguished before it could be launched, and both Nanlin and the other team leaders who came to help began to choose to retreat.
Fall back...... The whole army retreated...... The former army changed into the rear army, and quickly left the battlefield......
Since the order to retreat from Nanlin was issued, Wu Huan's order flag continued to wave, and countless people shouted loudly.
Nan Lin also wanted to send the troops of other tribes to the front, but in the current situation, it was unrealistic for anyone to stay behind and break the back, and it could only depend on their respective ability to escape.
The running infantry soldiers had been telling them that they had seen the terrible situation of the cavalry, and that the leaders had chosen to retreat, and they immediately turned quickly and ran quickly in the direction of the road from which they had come.
They come fast and go faster. After seeing that crazy scene, they began to resent, hating that their legs were short, not that the cavalry was slow.
When Gongsun Xu saw that the more than 5,000 soldiers led by Nanlin had collapsed and had begun to flee in all directions, he shouted loudly: "Order the banner soldiers to raise their banners, and let the cavalry start to intercept and chase the deserters."
Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that after several rounds of his blows, only about half of the 5,000 people in Nanlin could survive, and most of them were those infantry who were far behind.
Even if Nanlin is a famous general of Wuhuan, in such a situation, he is powerless to return to the sky.
