Chapter 1303: The Barbarians Are Coming

The barbarians who stole grain and grass were shot over by the Han soldiers, and the few remaining people left the grain carts and fled in a panic.

The soldiers of the Han army who followed them chased out of the entrance of the village, one by one with strong crossbows, aimed at the barbarians who were scattering and fleeing, and shot arrows at their backs.

The arrows whistled and flew towards the brute, and the brute soldiers who were hit by the feathered arrows fell to the ground one by one.

Most of the brute soldiers who were shot died on the spot after falling to the ground, and a small number did not die immediately, but lay on the ground, twisting their bodies and letting out a wail.

Seeing that the barbarians were shot over, the soldiers of the Han army put away their crossbows, drew their long swords at their waists, and quickly ran towards the fallen barbarians.

A brute was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and he wailed and rolled to escape from the Han army.

Just as he rolled over and struggled to get up, a Han soldier rushed up to him.

Seeing that he was still struggling, the Han soldier raised his foot and stepped down on his back.

Just as he was about to struggle to get up, his spine was heavily stepped on, and the brute's body collapsed and lay flat on the ground.

With his hands tugging at the ground in front of him, the brute let out a terrible howl.

The Han army, who stepped on his back, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, pointed the long sword straight down, and stabbed it into the back of his heart.

The sharp sword pierced into the back of the brute's heart, and the brute screamed "ah", his head drooped down, and he didn't even twitch twice, and then he lost his breath.

The soldiers of the Han army who rushed to the vicinity of the barbarians rummaged through the bodies of the barbarians one by one, and whether they were dead or alive, they would stab two swords hard.

The Han army fought a campaign, but whenever they left prisoners, it was the final stage of the campaign, and the enemy could no longer pose any threat to them.

The battle has just begun, and no matter how easy the victory is, the soldiers of the Han army will not leave half of them alive.

Xu Shu and others learned to give orders not to survive, and they also learned from Liu Wei how to eliminate future troubles in the war.

Rummaging through the fallen brute soldiers, the soldiers of the Han army mended their swords on the corpses, and Xu Huang and Shi Jian walked out of the village one after the other.

"If we kill the barbarians like this, the barbarians will definitely come to retaliate!" Seeing that the corpses of barbarian soldiers were being lifted and stacked in one place, Shi Jian said to Xu Huang: "The general should make preparations as soon as possible!" ”

Nodding, Xu Huang looked around at the soldiers of the Han army who were cleaning up the corpses of the barbarians, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, bury the corpses, rest in peace tonight, and wait for the barbarians to come to fight!" ”

"No!" The soldiers responded with their fists clenched, turned around and ran quickly.

In the evening of the same day, the Han army buried the bodies of two or three hundred barbarians and rested in the village.

The sky was light, and a Han soldier guarding the entrance of the village ran into the village quickly.

As soon as he entered the village, he shouted, "The barbarians are coming!" ”

Hearing his shout, the soldiers of the Han army, who were resting in the houses in various parts of the village, ran out of the houses with their swords in hand.

Not long after Xu Huang and Shi Jian got up, the two were sitting in the house eating war food, and when they heard the shouting, they hurriedly put the bowl on the ground and got up and walked out of the house.

"Where are the brutes?" Out of the house, Xu Huang asked the Han Jun who reported the news.

"It's not far from the village!" Turning around and pointing towards the entrance of the village, the Han soldier said, "It seems that there are two or three thousand people!" ”

"Haha!" Hearing that two or three thousand barbarians were coming, Xu Huang laughed twice and shouted to the Han soldiers in the village: "Soldiers, the barbarians are coming!" Today, we will wait, and we can fight happily! ”

Hearing Xu Huang's shout, more than a thousand Han soldiers raised their blades one after another, and they all let out a cheer!

Since the time when Liu Wei gathered the world's heroes, raised rebels to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now the Han army has built an army, the Han army has experienced countless battles.

War, for the soldiers of the Han army, has become a necessity in their lives.

If they were to be in relative peace for months, they would feel uncomfortable.

The barbarian soldiers came, and in the eyes of the Han soldiers, it gave them the opportunity to move their muscles.

Knowing that there was a battle to be fought, the soldiers of the Han army who were excited did not expect that the number of barbarians would be two or three times more than them.

In their eyes, the brutes who came outside the village were nothing more than a bunch of wild beasts without fangs.

"Let's go!" Raising his arm and waving forward, Xu Huang took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Shi Jian and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Han army followed closely behind him and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Before they reached the entrance of the village, Xu Huang saw a black figure about three or four hundred steps away from the village, walking slowly towards them.

The number of barbarians marching over was indeed quite large, but their ranks were loose, and there was no array at all.

"Array!" Seeing the brute soldiers coming from a distance, Xu Huang shouted.

With his shout, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Han army ran one after another.

It was just an instant, and the soldiers of the Han army arranged a neat array.

One by one, the strong crossbows were aimed at the barbarians who were marching towards them, and every soldier of the Han army, before the battle, had the idea of despising the enemy in their hearts.

But when the battle was approaching, they all looked solemn and didn't dare to slack off.

Where there is war, there is death, Liu Wei has told the soldiers of the Han army countless times that psychologically, they can despise the enemy, but after entering the state of battle, this contempt will bring ruin to themselves, and they must take every battle seriously!

At this time, the soldiers of the Han army maintained this state.

A pair of eyes stared at the barbarians approaching them without blinking, and the soldiers of the Han army were all tightly holding the strong crossbows in their hands.

Before the expedition, Xu Shu allocated a thousand strong crossbows to them from the strong crossbow battalion, in order to make their team become a strong soldier like Yu Linwei, who can fight near and far.

In terms of combat quality, this Han army is obviously incomparable to Yu Linwei, but in terms of equipment, they are not much worse than Yu Linwei.

Standing at the front of the array, Xu Huang did not turn over and jump on the war horse.

The barbarians were on foot, and when two armies met, the cavalry could only play a role in penetrating from the flanks or by attacking from behind.

It is the infantry that really has the ability to fight.

Two or three thousand barbarians stopped at a place more than two hundred steps away from the Han army's array.

A man who looked like a barbarian chief stepped out from behind the barbarians.

Looking at the Han army arrayed at the entrance of the village, he shouted something twice.

At the sound of his shout, two or three thousand brute soldiers immediately advanced forward again.

The shield held by the brute soldier is made into a strange grimace, which makes people look like they will feel creepy.

In the past, they also took a big advantage against the Yizhou army.

But now they are dealing with the soldiers of the Han army who are fighting in the south and the north, and there are very few defeats.

Pingping held a strong crossbow, and the eyes of the Han soldiers were staring at the barbarians who were advancing towards them.

Xu Huang, who was standing at the front of the array, saw that the barbarians were approaching, and he also strode to the side.

The Han army behind him is holding a strong crossbow, once the strong crossbow is launched, Xu Huang will be a little wolf in order to avoid the arrows.

Standing on the side, he can better observe the brute and make timely adjustments to the battle.

The barbarians were getting closer and closer, and seeing that they were only a hundred steps away from the entire Han army, Xu Huang did not make any movements, but Shi Lian, who was standing on the other side, raised his arms high.

His eyes looked at the barbarians who were advancing without blinking, and Shi Jian silently calculated in his heart the distance they advanced and the boundary that the strong crossbow could reach.

Advancing forward, the speed of the brute is getting faster and faster.

At first, they only quickened their pace of walking, and when they reached a place where they were only sixty or seventy paces away from the Han army, they actually ran.

Seeing the barbarians running, Shi Jian still did not give the order to release the arrows, until the barbarians reached only forty or fifty steps away from the Han army, he pressed his arms down violently and shouted: "Release the arrows!" ”

With Shi Lian's order, the soldiers of the Han army picked off the springs of the crossbow arrows one after another.

Crossbows whistled towards the running brutes.

The powerful feathered arrows shot at the shield in the hands of the brute, and the barbarian who was charging with the shield only felt his arm numb, as if the shield was about to fly out of his hand.

Patches of feathered arrows fell into the barbarian's array like rain, and one by one the brute's arrows fell to the ground.

Looking at the brute soldiers, seeing that they rushed to a place that was only more than twenty steps away from the array, Shi Jian shouted again: "Change the knife!" ”

At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 Han soldiers carried their crossbows behind them, took out their shields and swords, and set up a defensive formation.

The barbarians in the charge were killed by crossbow arrows at first, but suddenly no arrow rain fell, they only felt a sense of relaxation, and the speed under their feet also increased a lot.

When they arrived at a place that was only more than ten steps away from the Han army, the barbarians picked up the short axes in their hands one by one and threw the axes at the Han soldiers in the array.

Holding their shields and putting them on their heads, the Han soldiers used round shields to shield the short axes that flew towards them.

The flying axe was wrapped in the strong wind of "whirring" and flew into the array of the Han army, and from time to time one or two Han soldiers were struck by the axe and fell beside Tong Ze.

"Kill!" The brute threw a round of short axes, and just as they were about to charge forward, Xu Huang shouted, holding the handle of the big axe with both hands, and strode towards the barbarian who was close at hand.

Xu Huang rushed out, Shi Jian and more than a thousand Han soldiers shouted in unison, and pounced on the barbarians who were two or three times their number like a tide.

The Han army was in a neat column, and the soldiers were in unison when they charged, and the impact force that could be brought up could be compared with the barbarians!

The two sides collided in one place, and the brute soldiers in front were suddenly knocked over.

The Han soldiers in front of them ignored the brute soldiers who fell to the ground, holding shields, brandishing Pu knives, and slashing all the way forward. The soldiers of the Han army in the back, but when they rushed up, they raised their swords one after another, and poked the barbarians who fell to the ground before they had time to get up one by one!
