Chapter 25: The Battle
("Zhao Wuxian 2014", every time you send a chapter, you can always see your brother on time, thank you!) οΌ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ma Han led the twenty-four Hange cavalry under Tang Nu, and just ran out of more than ten miles, he saw the yellow dust on the horizon of the field in the northwest, which was a sign of the appearance of a large force of cavalry.
The horse bent his arms and raised his fists, and the cavalry behind him stopped in response, and more than twenty horsemen scattered into a half-arc, under the leadership of Tang Nu, to check the swords, axes and armor. When they are done, they take their bows and arrows, and hang down the cloth covers that hang on the outside of their feet to cover the stirrups. For this secret weapon, try to keep it secret as long as you can, at least until the Hange cavalry forms combat effectiveness, and try not to let the Hu people know about it.
The bows and arrows currently used by the Hango cavalry are basically taken from the defeated Karasuma and Xianbei tribes. These tribes were relatively weak, lacking in force, lacking in iron and armor, and even the arrowheads were made of bronze, and some were even made of bone. Ma Han pulled out seven tribes in a row, and only managed to gather forty or fifty pairs of shabby leather armor, twenty or thirty swords and axes, and fifty or sixty usable short bows, and he was ready to ride. As for the reserve cavalry, it basically belongs to the "three nos" arms with no armor, no iron arrows, and no knives and axes, and is only equipped with thick bows and arrows, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not as good as that of ordinary herdsmen.
And the small amount of fine armor captured by the horse warriors at the beginning was only awarded to the cavalry officers above the rank of chief. Ma Han was already thinking about it, and when the Han Ge Department was almost expanded and had the strength to protect himself, he had to go to Shanggu Ning City and ask to see Xing Ju, the captain of the Karasuma Guard. See if you can get a mutual market qualification, participate in border trade, and exchange fur horses for supplies.
Of course, these are all later words, and the top priority is how to survive the current hurdle.
On the horizon, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared, with gray hair and gray jackets, and strong bows and angry horses. Among them, a considerable number of cavalrymen wore leather armor, and dozens of horsemen wore leather helmets, and they were so well-equipped that they almost caught up with the personal guards of King Khanlu. In the middle of the cavalry unit, a large banner of a blue ** horned beast is particularly eye-catching, which is the tribal symbol of Xianbei in the central part of the country.
Ma Han's face was solemn, in the past month, he had not only learned the Xiongnu language (Rongdi lingua franca), but also had an understanding of the general distribution of the forces of the three counties Karasuma and the three Xianbei, the adults of each department, and the strength of the strength. The cyan horned beast flag, this is the symbol of the three Xianbei and the central Xianbei sub-account, and the person who comes will not be the brother of the central Xianbei lord Kebineng, Tho Luohou, right? If that's the case, you'll be a jackpot.
More than 300 Xianbei cavalry, raising the dust in the sky, slowly approached Ma Han and his party, about 100 steps away, stopped and advanced, and the cavalry spread out in a fan shape, showing a semi-encircled shape.
As soon as Ma Han saw the opponent's posture, he knew that this was a cavalry with combat experience. 100 steps is a relatively small second distance, which will not be too close to irritate the opponent, and will not be difficult to catch up with when the opponent escapes. And this semi-encirclement has the same effect. If the opponent is surrounded by a large number of people and horses, and the people have already lost their legs, how will they meet you.
Ma Han looked back and saw Tang Nu's nervous and decisive face, this person had put life and death aside from the day he swore to resist, and facing a strong enemy was nothing more than a battle to the death. The more than 20 Hange cavalrymen were as nervous as the horses under their crotch, their faces were pale, their breathing was unsteady, and their hands holding bows and arrows were trembling...... Whether they were good or bad, at least there was one thing that everyone didβall the Hango cavalry were facing the Xianbei people.
Ma Han was very satisfied, in his opinion, such a disparity between the enemy and our forces, and it was remarkable that the fledgling Hango cavalry dared to face the enemy head-on, and none of them fled. As a leader, he wants a team that dares to fight. How to fight is the duty of his chief; And whether to dare to fight or not is the duty of every soldier.
"Commander." Tang Nu said in a low voice, "Taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, we will strike first, rush to kill for a while, and chill the enemy's courage first." β
Ma Han stared at the leader of the enemy army under the banner of the Duanbeast, and slowly shook his head: "We are still too weak now, we can't afford to lose anything, and we can't be reckless." β
Tang Nu said worriedly: "But if the Xianbei people are allowed to make the first move, more than 20 of us are afraid that we will not be able to withstand the impact of the other party......"
"In that case, we won't let the Xianbei people do it first." Ma Han galloped out of the horse and threw down a sentence that made Tang Nu puzzled, "I have heard that Hu Feng is fierce and respects military force, and now is the time to verify the authenticity of this statement." β
When the horse leaped out of the horse, the Xianbei people on the opposite side also galloped out, and said loudly in the lingua franca, that is, the Xiongnu: "The Xianbei Gandhi tribe is a little king who returns to the mud, and leads the Xianbei invincible warriors to crusade against the evil slaves who invade my tribe. β
The Qianti tribe, Ma Han has heard of this tribe, and it is the most powerful of the Xianbei tribes in the central part of the country, second only to the Xianbei lord Kebineng clan. The tooth tent of the Gandhi tribe is more than 500 miles away from here, what kind of wind blows the hundreds of cavalry of this tribe here?
Ma Han raised the leopard bow, his arm slowly sank, to the level of his chest, and the tip of the bow pointed forward, with a murderous awe: "I have never heard that Hu Nu decides right and wrong with his strength, and he is ashamed to reason, so I don't talk nonsense - I, Ma Han!" The commander of the Hange tribe challenged the Xianbei warriors of the Gandhi tribe. You can choose the three strongest warriors and fight me in three duels, cavalry, cavalry, and horns, and you can choose from them. If I fail, let me deal with it; If I win, get out! How is it? 'Da Xianbei Invincible Warrior', can you dare to fight? β
As soon as Ma Han's words came out, there was a commotion on the other side, and the crowd was angry. From time to time, Xianbei people rode out, ran to the banner, and shouted for battle. More Xianbei people spurred their horses, waved their swords and bows, and kept roaring and demonstrating to the horses. What's more, they even rushed to a distance of thirty paces in front of the Humvee, opened their bows and shot falsely, and shouted intimidation. The horse is as fast as the wind, the roar is like thunder, the bowstring is sounding, and its momentum is terrifying.
Most of the Hango cavalry were discolored, hovering with their reins and their finger joints holding the bow white. The horse is like a silver arrow under the crotch, steady as a root, not moving at all, and regards the actions of Xianbei people as monkeys. Tang Nu is mixed with joy, and he is happy that the challenge of the commander is undoubtedly the best solution at the moment, and Xianbei people will definitely accept it. The worry is that even though the commander is very strong, if he wants to win all three battles, he can't help but make people sweat coldly.
After about a stick of incense, the Xianbei people seemed to have made a decision. More than ten horses galloped out under the banner, led by a young man about fifteen or six years old, with a square face and wide forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and thick lips, and a strong body.
The Xianbei young man galloped to a stop thirty steps away from Ma Han, looked at Ma Han carefully, and nodded slowly: "Sure enough, there is a bit of the momentum of the Han warriors, my Da Xianbei Gandhi warriors will never refuse to wrestle with the opponent, and we will not take advantage of you, we will make three out of three formations, and you can also exchange three formations for three people." As you say, if you fail, let me do it; If I win, I will turn around at once, and I will never cross the water. β
Ma Han stared at the Xianbei boy and said word by word: "Can you represent the three hundred knights of the Gandhi Division?" β
"Yes!" The Xianbei boy replied loudly without hesitation, "Because I am the mud." β
Ma Han raised the bow with one hand, and the young man also raised the short bow in his hand, and the two sides touched each other from afar, swore an oath to start a war!
