Chapter 81: Beating the Reservoir Dogs
Maybe he was really worried about the life and death of Shan Yu and King Gu Li, and the captain of the capital was also desperately attacking.
Just because they are Huns, this raid is actually one person and three horses, and there is no way to do it so luxuriously in Huaxia. You must know that even if it is one person and one horse, there are many people who can't take their turn.
Fang Yun had planned to form mounted infantry several times, but he was also limited by the shortage of horses, so he could only use a mixture of infantry and cavalry.
The Southern Xiongnu have been attached to the Han Dynasty for a long time, and even some of the Xiongnu have begun to farm, transforming from nomads to farming, but even so, the riding and archery skills handed down from the ancestors have not been abandoned.
I saw that they quickly switched constantly on the back of the three war horses to maximize the preservation of horsepower, this technique is indeed rare. At least on the side of the big man, I'm afraid that few can do this. However, this is nothing eggy. Use......
A group of Hun cavalry in the front row, including the Hun Grand Lieutenant, suddenly felt that the balance had changed, and then the whole person was thrown to the ground along with the horses. Together, many cavalry follow-up suddenly lost their balance and fell off their horses.
And that's not all, because the large army is in a state of running, there is no way to effectively stop the horse's charge. As a result, the group of Hun soldiers who fell first in front of them will most likely be trampled to death by the horses behind.
That is, the captain reacted quickly enough, quickly turned over and grabbed an empty war horse and turned over, and finally survived.
However, he just couldn't understand why such a strange thing had happened. It's just that before he could figure it out, he felt another tremor under him, and the whole person almost fell again. He finally jumped off his horse and climbed onto another blank horse.
Even so, along the way, there were at least 2,000 casualties of varying degrees. The follow-up troops finally realized that something was wrong and finally stopped the horses.
At this time, the captain looked back and found that there were many fist-sized holes on the ground under the cover of many weeds. These holes are about as deep as a horse's calf, and almost enough for a horse's calf to fit into.
This kind of trap is considered a pit, and it is difficult for horses to find it, not to mention, and if they step on it, the whole horse will fall forward because of loss of balance. That's not all, the horse's leg that goes deep into the ground will be broken as soon as possible, which also means that the horse is useless.
Perhaps, modern veterinary technology can consider connecting and then using the treated horse as a colt or something. But in this era of backward medicine, in such a situation, this horse is of little use except to kill and eat meat.
Is this insidious? And that's not all!
Only then did the Grand Lieutenant realize that on the way to the other side of the hills, there were actually dense such pits. At the same time, he was still in those places where there were no horse pits, and there were still a lot of thistles hidden under the grass.
In the absence of a horseshoe, the damage to the horse is also very huge, and even if there is a horseshoe, it will probably cause the horse to lose its balance.
Unfortunately, this road is all this kind of thing, in other words, the horses of the Huns cannot play an advantage here at all.
It's just that the Grand Lieutenant can't figure it out, didn't the Han army surround here? How could such a clever trap be set here, he is not a fool, a fool can't be a lieutenant. At a glance, it is not difficult to guess that this is deliberately dug up by the Han army, just waiting for their army to come to the scheme! Well, if this is premeditated, then how does the enemy know that he will come?
As a result, the so-called Han army general who took refuge in King Guli was naturally the most suspicious.
"What about the Han general who came to report the news?" The Grand Lieutenant turned around and yelled.
"Report to the Grand Lieutenant, in the panic just now, he killed our brother and ran away!" Behind him, a centurion came to report.
"Damn, it's a trick! We retreat! "Daduwei immediately figured out the cause and effect, and he could even further speculate that he was only afraid of Shan Yu and King Gu Li, and he was only afraid that he was already ...... at this moment
He didn't dare to think, or even dare to believe that the Han people would leave like this, and they would be able to eat more than 20,000 Hun warriors from the two armies. But I don't believe it or believe it, it's been a long time since there has been news of the two. If it weren't for the annihilation of the whole army, how could it be that no news came out at all?!
Who knows, before they could turn their horses' heads, two armies of at least 30,000 men poured out from behind the hills, and began to quickly circle around their flanks, apparently intending to encircle them. At the same time, a cavalry was also rapidly approaching behind them, and it was not known how he had come around behind him.
The Grand Lieutenant only knew at this moment that if they didn't act again, they would quickly surround their troops, and when the time came, their 10,000 people would not be able to escape the end of destruction...... Counting, there are at least a thousand warriors who have fallen into the vicious trap array......
"Retreat, retreat with the whole army, return to our steppe!" Shan Yu is dead, and King Gu Li is also dead, and all the Captain can do now is to quickly retreat to the grassland. This time they went south, and there were still one or two batches of supplies and prisoners, which had been transported back to the grassland, and they had at least gained a little bit of this operation.
The most important thing is that as long as you return to the grassland, with your own identity, you can become the new Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and it is not impossible! Thinking of this, the Grand Lieutenant couldn't help but start getting excited!
It's easy to say, but it's really that easy to do?
Just as he was in a daze, a large number of stones suddenly fell from the sky, smashing directly into their position. The Captain was stunned at the time, where did the stone come from, could it be that it fell from the sky? Changshengtian, you are the god of our grassland, why do you want to help those despicable Han people?
It's just that God really doesn't seem to be on his side, and when he looks up at the sky, a large number of stones fall from the sky and fall in their position. The stones may not be large, but they are numerous, and they quickly covered a large part of the position, causing at least 3,000 casualties at once.
Before they could realize what was going on, the infantry, who had already begun to take on a posture of encirclement, quickly shot more than 10,000 arrows, quickly forming a network of arrows and covering them. It is true that there are not many strong archers, but at this distance, ordinary archers with a one-stone bow can also complete this kind of shooting technique of beaded arrows.
Of course, the other foot soldiers were also getting closer, and the pikemen were ready to harvest the Huns. The Yellow Turban Chiefs are also mixed in, and their goal at the moment is to cover these comrades from harm.
At the same time, the cavalry behind also began to approach, and the first throwing guns began to be fired.
This is Fang Yun's battle, the advanced prop flow war method! A lot of arrows, a lot of throwing guns, and even a covered bomb for a catapult. Not to mention the pikemen's spears, which are longer and thicker than the standard pikes. All these materials, including transportation, are an astronomical amount.
For the Han army, accustomed to frugality, this was unimaginable, and for the Huns, it was even more incredible!
But for Fang Yun, if he can save people's lives, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem!! (To be continued.) )
