Chapter 90: The Fierce Battle (2)
Han Yu's heart moved, and ordered the herald to order the trebuchet to suspend the attack, and adjust the direction of the trebuchet to the south gate of Xiangping again, so as to prevent the rebels of Xiangping from killing out of Xiangping City.
On his side, he began to command his heralds, so that the command flag in their hands was constantly waving, and he commanded the shield men, pikemen, and archers to constantly move forward and outflank, and he wanted to gather and annihilate the cavalry of Churdor and others.
Han Yu knew very well in his heart that although the number of troops in the left flank seemed to be the smallest, it was the most elite infantry under Han Yu's command, and the equipment was also the most well-equipped among all the infantry of Gongsun Xu.
Although Chudo's cavalry looked quite sophisticated, they really couldn't break through the defense line on the left flank.
For Qiu Duo's subordinates and those war horses, Han Yu also had great thoughts in his heart.
In the era of the late Han Dynasty, the price of a war horse was extremely high, and if you could get back dozens of war horses and capture dozens of cavalry, it would definitely be better than annihilating all these Wuhuan cavalry.
When the time comes, the young master will be in a good mood, and he will naturally tell the kitchen to get them some extraordinary food.
Qiu Duo's eyes saw that Han Yu and his soldiers began to outflank them, and a mocking look appeared on his face.
Cavalry and infantry are fundamentally two different concepts, and it is simply a joke for infantry to want to surround and annihilate cavalry.
In particular, the left flank of the Han infantry is very weak, a total of 500 people, if their nearly 200 Wuhuan cavalry can't rush through the left flank of the Han army, then they can really eat.
Qiu Duo waved the spear in his hand, and he shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him: "Warriors of Wuhuan, there are only five hundred Han soldiers in front, take out your fighting spirit and use your bravery to kill the enemy to pay tribute to the souls killed by the Han army!" Show your best skills and fight with me in a vigorous battle, washing away our shame with the blood of the enemy. ”
Qiu Duo's eyes were already red, the cavalry behind him was the last strongest force of the Qiu family, he must lead these cavalry to break through the left flank of the Han army, completely disrupt the formation of the Han army, and let the reinforcements from Lord Nanlin defeat the troops of the Han army.
"Ulla, Ulla."
"Accelerate, accelerate."
"Swear to kill the Han dog and avenge the brothers."
The Wuhuan cavalry shouted loudly, and their faces showed the calmness of going to death.
The cavalry under Qiu Duo began to speed up continuously, and they wanted to use the fastest speed to attack the position of Han Yu's left flank.
At this time, they were shocked and had a realization in their hearts that if they could not cut through the left flank of the Han army, then they would be besieged by the Han army.
Advancing and breaking through the left flank of the Han army, they had a glimmer of hope of survival, and when they stagnated, they had only a dead end.
Han Yu's subordinates had been promoted to Qu Chang Nan Tianyuan, and he watched with a solemn expression as Qiu Duo continued to accelerate towards him from a distance, with no joy or sorrow in his heart.
Nan Tianyuan knew in his heart that Qiu Duo was now the battle of the trapped beasts, and he couldn't have much time left, if Qiu Duo chose other directions to break through, it was possible to break through, but it was definitely a joke to want to break through from his side and join the reinforcements on the side of the difficult forest.
Nan Tianyuan, Han Yu and his old boss Gao Sheng, have always been from the infantry army, because the Wuhuan people have always gone to Youzhou to fight in the grass valley in recent years, they can be said to have fought dozens of battles with the cavalry.
If the number of Wuhuan cavalry is more than the number of people on his side, Nan Tianyuan may still be a little worried, but Qiu Duo's side is nothing more than leading two hundred Wuhuan cavalry, and if he runs over and charges the battle like this, he definitely doesn't know how to die.
The 500 Han soldiers under Nan Tianyuan were the first to follow Gongsun Xu, because of their outstanding military achievements, Gongsun Xu really gave them a lot of blood.
These Han soldiers can be said to be armed to the teeth, and all the equipment is also the most luxurious among the infantry of Gongsun Xu.
Nan Tianyuan added a touch of his upper lip, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, he opened his mouth and roared loudly: "The shield soldier erects the shield, the pikeman spear is in place, the archer is ready to shoot, and the archer who tests the distance Zuo Xin starts to test the distance." The crossbowman crossbows his arrows and prepares for a three-stage shot. ”
"Stand shield."
The shield bearers in the front row shouted slogans in unison and began to drop their shields heavily to the ground.
The speed and timing of these shields were basically the same, so neat that one could only see a piece of silver-white crash to the ground, causing some vibrations on the ground.
The shields in the hands of these shield soldiers were newly obtained from the armory of Gongsun Zhan and Meng Yi's army, and they were the best standard shields of the Han army.
The upper part of the shield is rectangular, and the lower part is an inverted triangle shape, which allows the shield to be buried deeper into the ground as the shield soldier erects the shield with force.
This standard shield also has a clever bonding relationship, which can be connected to the other two shields around it, and the other two shields will also help to absorb the force when the enemy attacks the shield array.
In other words, as long as the enemy's force area in the process of charging into the formation is not very large, the shield formation of the shield soldiers under Nan Tianyuan will not easily have problems.
The pikemen behind the shield soldiers were also in full position at this time, ready to cross attack the cavalry.
As long as the charging cavalry can rush to the shield array, they will quickly stand up and attack the charging cavalry with their spears in the form of a cross-attack.
Under normal circumstances, the shield soldiers and pikemen in the Han army are the most vulnerable to losses.
However, Nan Tianyuan and they are now well-equipped, and they are all standard iron armor with semi-steel plates.
As long as you don't get hit by the enemy or hit the vital point, you basically won't lose much.
The shield-bearers knelt neatly to the ground against their shields, and the pikemen quickly crouched down, watching the enemy attack through the gap between the two shields.
At this time, the crossbowmen put away the crossbow arrows in their hands and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy horsemen.
After the archer's new arrow fell to the ground, the distance of the archer's attack had already been determined, and the approximate time of the attack had been determined.
As long as the Wuhuan cavalry reached a place where Zuoxin's bow and arrow had landed, Nan Tianyuan would order the archers to shoot with bows and arrows.
As it got closer, Qiu Duo and the cavalry behind him were getting closer and closer to Nan Tianyuan's left flank, and even Nan Tianyuan could see Qiu Duo's scarlet eyes like wounded beasts at this time.
