Chapter 257: Galloping on the Battlefield (I)
Being able to quietly touch such a close distance from the Xianbei people is also considered to be the death time of the Xianbei people, within a short distance, as long as the cavalry attacks, even if the other party has a thousand people, it will be instantly defeated, and there is no time to react.
The lighted torches are particularly conspicuous in the dark night, the Qingyu sword waved, more than a hundred cavalry roared towards the Xianbei people, there was no loud shout, all the cavalry legs clamped the horse's belly, clenched the weapons in their hands, not far away Xianbei soldiers in their eyes are one by one combat exploits, is the ladder they Xiangshang climbs.
Even though the horses were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, hundreds of cavalry charged with amazing momentum in the dark night.
Xianbei people have lived on horseback since childhood, and they are naturally no strangers to war horses, many Xianbei soldiers opened their hazy sleepy eyes, looked around, and in the faint moonlight, more than a hundred cavalry in front of them were like thousands of horses in their eyes.
The shouts and screams converged, and more and more Xianbei soldiers were awakened, and after seeing the enemy in front of them clearly, they did not hesitate at all, grabbed the weapons at hand, and looked for the war horses around them.
The speed of the cavalry was fast, a mile away, in the blink of an eye, the Xianbei cavalry that was in a mess of this matter could not stop the momentum of the Han cavalry at all, some Xianbei soldiers were killed before they even climbed on horseback, and more Xianbei cavalry died under the horse's hooves.
The strength of the cavalry lies in high mobility, impact and trampling.
The commander of Xianbei hurriedly organized the cavalry to snipe the Han cavalry, trying to block the attack of the Han cavalry.
At this time, countless cavalry appeared in the rear of the Xianbei army, shouting loudly towards the Xianbei people, and after receiving the signal of Jia Rong's torch, Lu Bu immediately led the cavalry to launch an offensive.
The first general, holding a halberd in his hand, everywhere he went, there was no enemy, it was Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's bravery had already penetrated into the hearts of all the Xianbei cavalry a few days ago, and now at first glance, seeing Lu Bu leading the cavalry to rush to kill, the confidence that the Xianbei cavalry had finally gathered was instantly defeated, and no one was willing to face this killing god.
Let's look at Lu Bu, alone led dozens of horsemen to break into the Xianbei position, and the Xianbei people's not very broad camp was torn apart into a big hole, and the Xianbei soldiers were divided into two, the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the situation of the soldiers, so as to accelerate the defeat of the Xianbei people.
Zhao Yun lifted the spear and took the lead in the Xianbei camp, a spear danced impermeable, the attacks of the soldiers along the way could not touch his body, the spear seemed to be endowed with spirituality in Zhao Yun's hands, and more than 100 township soldiers behind him followed Zhao Yun's steps closely.
The sudden attack coupled with Lu Bu's encirclement made the Xianbei people who boasted of their bravery appear deserters, and the commander watched Lu Bu rush straight in his direction, and actually led dozens of cavalry to flee out.
The escape of the commander triggered a chain of effects, and all the cavalry rushed in all directions, and it was only half an hour before and after, and Xianbei was declared defeated.
At this time, without Jia Rong's orders, the cavalry of the Han army shouted and killed the Xianbei people.
An hour later, the cavalry who had gone to pursue returned one after another, with the heads of the enemy hanging from the necks of the horses, or three or five, the horses were like blood, and the faces of the cavalry were even more bloodstained, at first glance, like messengers from hell.
Jia Rong had already ordered that the way soldiers remember their military exploits should be changed to cutting off their ears, so that it would not affect the normal fighting of soldiers, after all, the ears are easy to cut, and the heads are not easy to cut, but the soldiers still like to cut off the heads of the enemy, it seems that this can better show off the merits of the war, and the rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years are not easy to change, people only have one head, but they have two ears, so soldiers prefer to use human heads to obtain war merits.
This battle killed more than 200 Xianbei people, got more than 100 war horses, and lost more than 20 soldiers, which can be described as a rich result, and none of the Xianbei cavalry survived.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and the soldiers gathered in groups of three or five, excitedly discussing the battle.
In particular, Jia Rong solemnly took a notebook and wrote down the names of all the soldiers, and wrote their military exploits behind the names of the soldiers, which aroused the longing of all the soldiers for the future.
Jia Rong uses the "positive" character counting method, killing an enemy soldier, he will write a stroke, and killing five enemies is a straight character.
Write down the names of the soldiers in the notebook, on behalf of Jia Rong to admit that they are part of the Xiliang Army, but all the Xiliang Army has a complete record, which not only makes the soldiers feel at ease and has a sense of belonging, but also makes it more convenient for the Xiliang Army to control.
About an hour, Ma Teng led the remaining more than 150 people to arrive, many soldiers holding war horses in their hands, and dozens of unkempt soldiers were mixed in the middle of the team.
Ma Tengbai said: "General Qiyu, he led the soldiers to capture 42 Xianbei cavalry, killed 20 Xianbei cavalry, and captured 40 war horses. ”
"Brother Ma has worked hard, and you can decide for yourself the captured war horses." Jia Rong said: "As for the captured Xianbei cavalry, kill them all!" ”
Ma Teng clenched his fists and said: "General, I'm afraid this is not good, if you subdue these Xianbei people, you will definitely be able to become a big help to our army." ”
Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "No, the Xianbei people have repeatedly violated the border, and they are already mortal enemies with my Han, if the Xianbei people are taken in, what will the people think, and the officials will also use this to impeach me and others." ”
Ma Teng's face changed, and he said, "It's a lowly neglect!" ”
With Jia Rong's order, all forty-two Xianbei cavalry were killed.
"Since you have chosen the battlefield, you must have the consciousness of death, and you are the same, even if you die, you must stand and die, and don't let the enemy look down on you." Jia Rong walked among the soldiers and said: "In the Xiliang Army, there are no cavalry who surrendered, because the Xiliang cavalry are all real men with iron bones. ”
Equipped with war horses, whether it is the combat effectiveness or mobility of the soldiers, these soldiers themselves are cavalry, and they can fight when they get on the horse, but these war horses do not have stirrups, which makes Jia Rong feel very uncomfortable riding on them.
The next day, Jia Rong led more than 400 cavalry to continue to go in other directions, last night's battle, although the Xianbei cavalry was defeated, there are still a lot of cavalry escaped, what to do now is to encircle and suppress these cavalry, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is also meat, if the remaining two hundred Xianbei cavalry are eliminated, get their war horses, the team's mobility will be stronger, and the war horses are what Jia Rong is most eager to get at present.
Two days later, Jia Rong led more than 100 people in Xianbei and more than 100 horses.
The cavalry of 400 people has 500 war horses, which can definitely be called a rich family in the Han Dynasty.
Galloping on the war horse, feeling the whistling wind and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, that feeling made Jia Rong very comfortable, but he didn't expect a future Shijie little security guard to like the feeling of war and have his own army.
"General Qiyu, ten miles ahead, I found about 300 Xianbei cavalry, who were sacking a village." The scout hurried to Jia Rong's side, and said hurriedly with his fists on the horse.
After hearing the news, without any hesitation, Jia Rong immediately led the soldiers to gallop away under the leadership of the scout.
A few miles away, a village could be seen shrouded in smoke, and Jia Rong slapped the horse's back vigorously while holding the reins of his horse.
Near the entrance of the village, you can vaguely hear the cries of the people in the village and the shouts of the soldiers.
"Kill! Don't leave your mouth alive! A deep voice rang in the ears of every soldier, and in the short words, the soldier could feel Jia Rong's raging anger.
The arrival of four hundred cavalry has already attracted the attention of the Xianbei people, and after seeing that the one who came was the cavalry of the Han army, the Xianbei people got on their horses and gathered together, but the team of three hundred people became a little loose because of the plunder, and in a hurry, how was the opponent of the Han army's fierce Han cavalry.
Jia Rong, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Jiang Yu and Ma Teng rushed to the front of the team, like a sharp knife, stabbing into the hearts of Xianbei people.
Angry Jia Rong used the greatest strength in his life to meet every enemy, although a move is simple but full of lethality, some Xianbei cavalry was cut into two pieces by the oncoming knife before they could react, the bloody death made the Xianbei cavalry who came to meet tremble slightly, the knife in Jia Rong's hand was also made of haode iron, and the weapon of a Xianbei cavalry was even cut in half by one of its knives, and the Xianbei cavalry looked at the war knife in unimaginable to sink into the body.
The cavalry of the Han army followed closely behind the five people, but in a moment, the Xianbei cavalry team that had been finally organized was stopped and cut into two sections.
If Lu Bu's bravery makes the Xianbei cavalry fearful, then Jia Rong's bloody killing methods are enough to make everyone frightened, but none of the Xianbei people who fought with Jia Rong are complete, and everywhere they pass, soldiers with severed limbs and stumps can be seen everywhere, and that terrible cry is more likely to arouse the fear in the hearts of the Xianbei cavalry.
The Xianbei people who were plundering in the village joined the battle, and the Xianbei cavalry fought bravely, otherwise there would not be a unified Xianbei of Tanshihuai, and many Han cavalry were cut off in the battle.
Kill the red-eyed Jia Rong, where there are more Xianbei people, he will go there, as long as he sees Jia Rong coming, the surrounding Han soldiers can clearly feel that Xianbei's offensive is a surprise, compared to Jia Rong, Xianbei people find Lu Bu a lot cuter.
The Xianbei people hurriedly met the battle, and after half an hour, they were completely defeated by the Han army.
Looking at the tragic situation of the death of the people in the village, Jia Rong's fists had already clenched and creaked, and the Xianbei people entered the Han realm and still practiced "all the men were killed through the wheels, and the women were taken away", the surviving women in the village had already been frightened and speechless by the scenes before and after, and their eyes stared at the dead bodies on the ground in horror.
It's still asking for red, support it, the cliff is not broken!
