Chapter 264: Just like four hundred years ago
At this moment, it was as if time had been turned back, bringing people's minds back to four hundred years ago. Four hundred years ago, Hou Huo, the hussar general and champion of the Han Dynasty, defeated the main army of the Huns at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and killed 70,000 Huns, forcing the Huns to bow down to the Han Dynasty.
Now, Ao Lie, who is also a hussar general of the Han Dynasty and also has the title of champion marquis, follows in the footsteps of his ancestors and once again leads the army to appear at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and is about to fight to the death with the Huns again! It seems that there is really a definite number, the Huns and the Han people have been pushed to an inflection point very similar to four hundred years ago by fate, but I don't know if the ending today will be the same as four hundred years ago.
When the Han army was surging on all sides, and it was still a hundred steps away from the Huns, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan finally reacted. They shouted loudly to their men, trying to pull them out of the tangled entanglement of canine teeth. However, the reality is not at all what they think. The two Hun cavalry each panicked and planned to turn the horse's head, but in the collision with each other, it was not possible to complete the U-turn action that can be easily done in ordinary times, but it became more chaotic, the horse's head touched the horse's head, and the Hun cavalry on the horse on the horse with a panicked look, struggling to beat the horse that sat down, but it could only have the opposite effect, but made the war horse between them collide more powerfully.
Zhuge Liang in the large array keenly observed this, and immediately raised his hand decisively, and gave an order to the sergeant who was controlling the red-clothed ballista on his side: "Target, the center of the Hun chaotic formation." Intensive cannoning! After hearing Zhuge Liang's order, the eight hundred ballistamen who had already been preparing to attack tore off the red cloth covering the surface of the red-clothed ballista, and after aiming a little, they pulled the tip of the ballista together.
The sound of the sound was loud, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, sounding on the periphery of the battlefield. Four hundred crossbow arrows of different sizes, with strong force, roared towards the Hun cavalry more than 500 paces away! The effective range of the redcoat ballista is seven hundred paces, within seven hundred paces. Extremely high accuracy can be maintained. The distance of about 600 steps is the most powerful area of the red-clothed ballista.
The crossbow bolts scattered into the sky, and the javelin-shaped crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms and the powerful crossbows shaped like long swords made the Huns despair in their hearts. It is infinitely magnified. This advanced weapon that transcends the ages. It strongly shook the hearts of the Huns. How had they ever seen such a terrifying crossbow? Many of the Huns were frightened and wailed in despair.
After a short flight in the air. Four hundred crossbow arrows began to contact the body of the Hun cavalry one after another, first splitting the body of the Hun cavalry into two pieces with strong force, and then with the residual piercing force. Keep blasting forward. The sword-like crossbow bolts had sliced through the bodies of four or five enemies in quick succession before they ran out of strength and stopped advancing; The javelin-type long crossbow as thick as a child's arm, is with a more terrifying force, with greater damage, all the Hun cavalry touched by the long crossbow, none of them can avoid being pierced through the chest, a javelin-type long crossbow, often after the hole through several enemies, the strength is weakened, but it can still maintain high efficiency, until the most after passing through the body of a dozen Huns, it fell to the ground, like a huge nail, nailed the enemy's corpse to the ground.
The Huns became even more confused, and the deterrent power brought by the red-coated ballistas greatly undermined their fighting spirit and destroyed their confidence. In the face of such a battlefield killing weapon, personal martial arts are really insignificant. If you have not personally experienced such a scene comparable to the rain of bullets in later generations, you will not be able to understand the despair of the Huns at this moment. The cries of despair, even more desperate than just now, broke out in full force in the Hun formation, and no one thought that they could escape under the red-coated ballista. The Huns scrambled to dodge in fear, trying to escape from the range of the red-coated ballistas, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
After the first round of ballistas fired, Zhuge Liang calculated the time, and before Ao Lie and the others approached the Hun cavalry, he could still carry out a round of artillery bombardment. So, Zhuge Liang made a decision and gave the order to fire the cannon again. In an instant, another 400 crossbow bolts of different sizes shot out, delivering a second fatal blow to the chaotic Huns. The screams and cries for help brought about by this broke out again among the Huns.
The two rounds of shelling brought thousands of battle losses to the Huns, but also destroyed all the fighting spirit of the Huns, and caused a huge shadow on their psychology, which lingered. The deterrent power of the redcoat ballista to the enemy is far greater than the damage it can cause, which is where the value of the redcoat ballista lies. On the other hand, Zhuge Liang grasped the timing of the artillery bombardment just right, just in the gap where Ao Lie and others were about to kill, creating a more suitable battlefield atmosphere for Ao Lie and others in advance.
Zhuge Liang asked the eight hundred ballistae to put away the red-clothed ballista, and then turned his gaze to the center of the battlefield. There, Ao Lie and others had already led the army to kill the Huns, and the duel between life and death was about to be in full swing. Ao Lie was the first to kill in front of the Huns, he smashed a Hun cavalryman with a shot, and then shouted: "Blood kills, kill!" Behind him, the five thousand bloody killing troops led by Zhao Yun shouted loudly at the same time: "The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!" Kill ——! Immediately, the five thousand bloody slaughtering troops used Ao Lie as the arrow, and rushed into the chaotic Hun cavalry, and the Jidu swordsman, which had already been raised diagonally, slashed down fiercely with a whistling. In order to survive, the Hun cavalry in the chaos can only hastily raise their swords to block, but the chaotic formation, so that they can not form an effective resistance, and even the situation of fighting for themselves can not be done, most of the Huns, are subconsciously raising their sabers, completely ignoring their own knife movements, whether it will squeeze the space for the same people to carry out the same action.
When the five thousand Jidu sabers collided with the Huns' sabers, many Huns were cut into two sections because of insufficient preparation, or the gap in strength, and then in helplessness and despair, they watched the sabre slash towards the top of their heads, the most rear. In a tooth-aching sound of skulls cracking, he was cut off his horse. There were even a small number of Huns, affected by the blocking actions of their fellow tribesmen, and they didn't even have time to completely raise the saber, and they were already split in half by the saber.
In this direct duel, the bloody army did not suffer any casualties, but caused thousands of casualties to the enemy, which can be described as a brilliant result. Behind this brilliance, there is a lot of hard work of Ao Lie. The training of elite troops is strict, and their military spirit is deliberately cultivated. And spend a lot of money to build first-class weapons and equipment for them. At the same time, in terms of diet, they were guaranteed to have meat to eat every day, which played a vital role in their physical fitness, so that the blood killing army could defeat the Huns in terms of weapons and equipment and even physical strength.
Following the bloody slaughter of the army. Lu Bu also went to the battlefield. The Fang Tian painting halberd that terrified the Huns. With bursts of coldness, with a faint buzzing sound of breaking wind, the two Hun cavalry and horses were split into two pieces in a row. Subsequently. Lu Bu rose up and roared angrily in the sky: "Long Xiang belongs, kill!" The 10,000 Long Xiang army with blood-red feathers on their heads raised the dragon horn spear in their hands at the same time, responding to Lu Bu's roar: "Long Xiang's anger, there is no advance or retreat!" Kill ——! ”
Then, 10,000 Rahu dragon horn spears suddenly pierced out in all directions, like a huge hedgehog, and suddenly bloomed its needles, and came to an all-round indiscriminate attack in all directions. The length of the dragon horn spear is a foot long, and coupled with its heavy weight, if you are not a well-trained person, you will not be able to use such a complex and heavy weapon at will. Under the piercing of 10,000 dragon troops, the densely entangled Huns immediately became a fresh target, and their sabers did not have dragon horn spear lengths, even if they wanted to block, they were powerless. Patches of Huns were stabbed and dismounted by sharp dragon horn guns, most of the wounds were in the heart, and a large amount of blood gushed out, making the fallen Huns gradually lose their vitality. It can be seen that Long Xiangjun started quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.
The third Han army to be killed was the 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry led by Tai Shici, who came to the battlefield before the Tiger Ben army with the speed of war horses. The Wuhuan people, like the Huns, are natural cavalry, and the quality of their soldiers is among the best, and the biggest factor in winning depends on the on-the-spot performance of the men and horses on both sides. Now the Wuhuan cavalry sprinted, with great impact; The Huns, on the other hand, were entangled with each other, which greatly affected the flexibility and mobility of the Hun cavalry, and the impact power was impossible to talk about. Therefore, as soon as the two sides came into contact, they made a judgment, Tai Shici took the lead, and led the Wuhuan cavalry like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and the wind swept into the Hun cavalry array, bringing up a slip of blood, and the Huns who killed the formation burst out of a bloody storm, and the sound of screaming and falling off the horse was endless.
Although the Wuhuan cavalry is not an elite unit under Ao Lie's command and does not have their own battle cry, their lethality should not be underestimated. They took the long knives issued to them by Ao Lie, and frantically slashed at the Huns in front of them, using their own bravery to repay Ao Lie's trust.
The one who rushed to the battlefield a moment less than the Wuhuan cavalry was naturally the 5,000 Tiger Ben army led by Ma Chao. These 5,000 Tiger Elite are all sturdy men carefully selected by Ao Lie, and their excellent physical fitness makes their speed, strength, endurance and load capacity far beyond ordinary people, plus the daily supply of meat in the army, so that each of them can burst out with huge energy. The equipment weighing up to sixty catties could not affect their flexibility in the slightest, and the bloodthirsty horse chopping swords cut off the Huns' horse legs one after another under their agile swings. Immediately afterwards, the Hun cavalry who were thrown to the ground and screamed constantly became the next target of the Tiger Army, and five thousand swords were raised high, and then with strong force, they suddenly fell, so that the Huns' exclamations came to an abrupt end. In other words, the Huns, who were targeted by the Tiger Army, could no longer make any sound, because their heads and bodies had been divided into two sections by the Tiger Army's swords.
The fierce battle in the center of the battlefield has started, and Zhuge Liang at the edge of the battlefield calmly gave an order: "The whole army maintains the formation and joins the battle!" After the 50,000 Han troops received the order, they approached the center of the battlefield with neat steps, and everyone's footsteps were no more than three feet away, as if they had measured it with a ruler in advance. At the same time, they shouted one after another: "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" The sonorous and powerful shouts of the 50,000 Han troops at the same time greatly encouraged the Han troops who were fighting in the center of the battlefield. At the same time, it also posed a huge psychological pressure on the Huns!
Four hundred years ago, it was with this resounding slogan that the powerful Han army defeated the Huns. Now, after 400 years of silence, this slogan has been called by the Han people again in the sky above the desert, and it is no different from the blood-boiling scene 400 years ago! (To be continued......)
