Chapter 259: Meat Grinder (2)
Hangu Pass.
The ravages of the Kwantung Army's trebuchets had just ended, and Jia Xu appeared on the city wall surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers, and Gao Shun led more than a dozen generals to meet him, clasping his fists and saying respectfully: "Military division." ”
Jia Xu bowed his head lightly and asked, "General Gao Shun, how is the situation?" ”
Gao Shun pointed to the outside of the city and responded: "The Kwantung Army's Jingqian Formation has begun to attack. ”
"Hmm." Jia Xu said in a condensed voice, "It seems that it is time for the Western Regions cavalry to attack. ”
Gao Shun turned around abruptly, raised his one-arm high, and shouted: "The military division has an order, and the cavalry of the Western Regions is ready ~~"
In the city, Wang Yuan, the chief of the Western Regions, put the iron helmet on his head, and then turned over on the horse, a thick-backed horse chopping knife has been raised high, and the sharp blade emitted a dazzling cold light under the dark and gloomy sky, and suddenly, the ministers and generals of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have turned over and mounted their horses, raising the various weapons in their hands.
"Sigh Rhythm ~~"
"Wow~~"
The horses neighed, the sound of metal striking resounded through the city, and the 30,000 Hu cavalry of the Western Regions had already lined up along the wide long street in the pass, and on the wall, Jia Xu's eyes flashed a trace of inexplicable coldness, and it was not the wisest choice to use the cavalry to attack on the relatively narrow terrain outside Hangu Pass.
But now, the Liangzhou Legion has no choice.
Long before retreating from Hangu Pass, Jia Xu had already prepared for the worst in his heart, if the Kwantung Coalition Army continued to advance westward after capturing Luoyang and stormed Hangu Pass, then the final decisive battle with the Kwantung Army would be held at Hangu Pass! It was not impossible to take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Hanya Pass to block the huge Kwantung Army.
However, the cost is extremely high.
Perhaps, after the battle of Hangu Pass, the 70,000 troops guarding the pass (20,000 surrendered soldiers, 30,000 Western Regions Hu cavalry, and 20,000 Tuntian elites) are likely to be killed and wounded. Fortunately, Hu Qi in the Western Regions is not a descendant of the Liangzhou Legion, sacrificing these miscellaneous legions, whether it is a horse butcher or a Jia Poison Warrior, he will not blink an eye!
Jia Xu looked forward leisurely, looked at the well formation that was slowly squirming forward outside the pass, and said lightly: "Open the city gate~~ The cavalry attacked!" ”
"The military advisor has an order, open the city gate!"
Xu Chu's shouting sounded like thunder, and the guards who had been waiting for a long time quickly turned the winch, and in the piercing creak, the heavy 10,000-jin gate slowly rose. When the 10,000 jin gate was able to rise to the highest point, Wang Yuan pushed the thick-backed saber in his hand forward, and a landslide and tsunami-like shout suddenly erupted between heaven and earth, and Hu Qi of the Western Regions, who had been waiting for a long time, surged out like a swarm of wasps~~.
……
Outside Hanya Pass.
Cao Ying was watching the battle surrounded by Guo Jia and others, and when he saw the door of Hangu open wide and the black-pressed cavalry surging out, Guo Jia, who was gently fanning the wind with his sleeves, suddenly stiffened.
Cao Ying's eyes were also a little stunned, and he looked around and said: "Jia Poison Shi is smart but he is confused for a while, although the terrain outside Hangu Pass is flat, it is not wide, and it is difficult for the cavalry to deploy. ”
"Yes, the advantage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not a frontal assault, but a flank detour to disturb it, but the terrain outside Hangu Pass has determined that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry cannot make a flank detour." Cheng Yu also didn't understand, "If the two armies are put together for a dignified head-on decisive battle, the Kwantung infantry only needs to rush forward with pikemen, escort the formation with hoplites, and finally supplement them with longbowmen for long-distance shooting, and no matter how brave and good the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is, there will be no chance of winning." ”
"Woo woo ~ ~ "
Cheng Yu's voice fell, and the Kwantung Coalition Army really reacted, and the Jing Formation that was slowly squirming forward immediately began to turn around and retreat, while the hoplites scattered into more than 100 phalanxes began to assemble again, quickly forming a huge rectangular formation, firmly protecting the front of the military formation.
"Click~~"
In the sound of endless footsteps, 20,000 elite spearmen and 20,000 elite longbowmen have already crossed the line and surged forward.
"Ahh
Lu Bu held up Fang Tian's halberd and raised his head to the sky and howled.
"Boom!"
In the loud bang, 20,000 elite spearmen paused, and then put the spear in their hands more than six zhang behind him, and then pressed the sharp spear tip down gently, forming a sharp angle with the ground, and suddenly, 20,000 cold and shining spears were covered with a cold forest of death.
"Ahhh~~"
Lu Bu put away Fang Tian's halberd and teased it again, and looked up to the sky again.
"Roar Roar Roar~~"
In the rhythmic roar, 20,000 elite archers quickly spread out to the two wings, and the array of horses close to the pikemen formed a linear scattering array, and the cold eyes stared at the Western Regions Hu cavalry sweeping in front of them without emotion, one by one the longbows have been full, and the sharp wolf's tooth arrows have been stored on the string~~
……
Hanya closes.
Jia Xu's eyes were cold, as cold as the wind in the cold winter wax moon, in the corner where no one was paying attention, the ten fingers of the hands behind him were tightly clasped, and the slender and thin knuckles had begun to turn white due to blood loss!
In front of the Liangzhou soldiers, Jia Xu can always maintain a calm and calm momentum, even if the sky collapses, landslides and tsunamis will not change in the slightest, but in fact, Jia Xu is also the same as ordinary Liangzhou soldiers, he is also a human being, he will also be nervous, the only difference is ~~ Jia Xu can always hide his emotions well.
A full 30,000 Western Regions Hu Qi!
With such a luxurious and generous spending, it is inevitable that a poisoner such as Jia Xu will be nervous!
……
In front of the Western Regions Hu cavalry formation.
Wang Yuan rode his horse to the front, the war horse had begun to sprint at full speed, the ground under his feet was like a tide retreating, and the suffocating heat was churning in Wang Yuan's body, and the feeling was like the blood all over his body was boiling with fire oil, and the inexplicable tyranny rolled and stirred in his chest.
The war horse galloped like a fly, and Wang Yuan's eyes gradually turned red, as red as blood.
Huo Ran looked back, the horse's head was moving, the hooves were like thunder, and the 30,000 Western Regions Hu rode the horse like flying, closely following behind Wang Yuan, what was suffocating was that the eyes of the 30,000 Western Regions soldiers were also like Wang Yuan, red, that look, like 30,000 wounded wolves, opening their bloody mouths, revealing their terrifying fangs, roaring, desperate to pounce on the prey~~
……
Outside Hanya Pass.
"It's the Western Regions Hu Qi, not the Xiliang Iron Horse!" Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists, and the fierce murderous aura on the battlefield made his blood boil, and he shouted loudly, "Rush over, damn Hu Qi of the Western Regions has rushed straight over!" It's a death sentence! Shoot, shoot these damn barbarians!! ”
Cao Ying didn't have the slightest excitement on his face, and turned around and exchanged a puzzled and worried look with Guo Jia, from Guo Jia's eyes, Cao Ying rarely found a trace of worry. Obviously, Guo Jia didn't expect that Jia Poison would come out like this, this looks like a desperate assault like sending him to death, there must be another article.
Jia Poison is not an idiot, and he will never use tens of thousands of Western Regions Hu Qi to make a senseless suicidal charge!
But this group of Western Regions Hu cavalry came to ride at most 30,000, did Jia Poison really think that with these more than 30,000 cavalry, it would be enough to break through the Kwantung infantry's rejection formation, and then destroy the Kwantung Army's well? I'm afraid that before they rush to the front, nearly half of the 30,000 cavalry will be killed or wounded, and in the face of such tragic casualties, can the remaining cavalry still have the courage to continue to rush forward without breaking and fleeing?
After all, this is the Western Regions Hu Cavalry, not the most elite Western Liang Iron Cavalry under the command of the Horse Butcher! The will to fight and the ability to endure death of the two armies are completely incomparable.
……
In front of the Western Regions Hu cavalry formation.
"Whoa~~"
Wang Yuan rode his horse and raised his sword, his eyes revealed the tyranny of a beast, and behind Wang Yuan, 30,000 Western Regions Hu Qi responded with three shouts, the momentum shook the sky, and the scorching killing machine was like a raging fire.
……
In front of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
"Arrow~~"
The Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand slashed down fiercely, and a loud long howl resounded through the sky.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Hundreds of Kwantung Colonels slashed their swords fiercely, and 20,000 elite longbowmen suddenly let go of their right hands, and in the suffocating sound of the bowstring collapsing, a full 20,000 sharp wolf's tooth arrows had swept into the air, intertwined into a forest of death in the air, and then shot down like rain towards the head of Hu Qi in the Western Regions.
"Woohoo!"
Two cold wolf tooth arrows fell in the air, piercing Wang Yuan's chest and leaking out from his back, and there were red blood beads dripping down the cold arrow clusters, but Wang Yuan didn't realize it, and continued to urge the horse to gallop, while struggling to wave the heavy saber in his hand, his blood-red eyes became more and more wild.
"Poof!"
The war horse rushed forward dozens of steps away, Wang Yuan's blood-red eyes gradually dimmed, and then the strong body shook slightly, and then fell from the horse's back, the iron hooves turned and the dust was agitated, and Wang Yuanfu was trampled into a ball of flesh as soon as he landed.
"Whew~"
"Ah~"
"Uh~"
The tragic howl resounded in the sky, and the Hu cavalry of the Western Regions who swept forward turned on their backs, and thousands of cavalry fell down in an instant, and were immediately trampled into meat by the surging cavalry frenzy, however, the death of the main general Wang Yuan and the death of thousands of companions did not seem to make the remaining Western Regions cavalry feel afraid, but roared more and more feverishly, and moved forward bravely.
……
In front of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
The commander on duty, Lu Bu, cut off the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand again and again, and looked up to the sky and howled: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
With the hoarse roar of the Kanto Elementary School, rows of arrows swept up in the air, overwhelmingly falling towards the head of the Western Regions Hu Qi, and the surging Western Regions Hu Qi fell one by one, and in less than a moment, tens of thousands of horses had been lost, and the originally dense and vast cavalry formation had been thinned out a lot.
However, what is surprising is that the Hu Cavalry of the Western Regions actually showed the tenacious fighting spirit of not losing to the elite iron cavalry of the Western Liang, and such tragic casualties did not form the slightest blow to their fighting spirit.
……
Outside Hanya Pass.
"This~~ How is this possible?" Xiahoudun's eyes widened, and he shouted as if he had seen a ghost, "When did these barbarians from the Western Regions become so fearless to death?" It can't be, it can't be! ”
A thick haze flashed through Cao Ying's eyes, and he looked back at Guo Jia.
"There's no reason for that." Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "The Western Regions Hu Cavalry is just the servant cavalry of the Horse Butcher, and it has just been conquered, whether it is combat power or loyalty, it is not the same as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry directly under the Horse Butcher, there is no reason for these Western Regions barbarians to be so desperate." ”
……
Hanya closes.
Seeing the cavalry of the Western Regions falling one by one, the atmosphere on the wall was depressing, and there was a dead silence, Jia Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and a sly and vicious smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, the Kwantung Coalition Army didn't expect that the Western Regions Hu Cavalry would be so desperate, even if this array could not completely destroy the Kwantung Army's wells, at least it could be severely damaged!
As long as the Kwantung Army's Jingqi formation can be severely damaged, then the chance of holding Hangu Pass will be greatly increased, and when the Kwantung Army rebuilds the Jingqi, I am afraid that two months have already passed, and the news of the lord's army ravaging the land of Xu Yang should also reach the Kwantung Coalition Army camp, and at that time~~ It will be the turn of the Kwantung Coalition Army to pay the price.
……
"Boom!"
After paying more than half of the casualties, the surging Western Regions Hu cavalry was like a surging wave, viciously crashing into the Kwantung Coalition Army's horse rejection array, and instantly smashed the Kwantung Coalition Army's horse rejection array to pieces, which was completely a suicide assault with life, the Western Regions cavalry in the front row smashed into the road of the follow-up cavalry breakthrough with their own corpses, and thousands of soldiers of the two armies died in an instant.
This is war, a terrible war, and human life is nothing more than a meaningless number here, nothing more.
