Chapter Seventy-Five: Collision

In the end, it was fought from the cruel and fierce competitive environment on the grassland, and the commanders of the Xianbei tribes led by He Lian and others were undoubtedly quite knowledgeable, even if it was not clear why these Han people had the courage to dare to go out of the city to fight, but the dangerous aura emanating from the other party would not be wrong.

They are also worried that the outcome of the temptation will reduce their momentum.

You must know that these more than 400,000 soldiers and horses are made up of more than a dozen ethnic groups and hundreds of tribes, and they do not belong to each other at all, and even including themselves, many of them have been holding grudges for generations, and they will fight directly as soon as they meet. If it weren't for the fact that these Han people were too threatening, the grassland tribes with little national concept would not have put aside their past prejudices and made up their minds to send their own living forces to form a crusade coalition. It is conceivable that once these people realize that the process of the war will be heavy losses, I am afraid that many tribes will become hesitant to move forward, or even disperse in a hurry.

Therefore, instead of falling into the dilemma of being difficult to manage in the future, it is better to go all out from the beginning.

There are only more than 10,000 people on the other side, and even if they will still lose a lot in the end, it is the best result for the Xianbei clan to which they belong.

Of the 150,000 horses sent out, except for the vengeful Wuhuan people, the remaining 70,000 people were all small and medium-sized tribes with poor strength. If they die in the course of a major war, it is just convenient for them to receive the opponent's territory and population.

And Qiu Liju also saw the plans of He Lian and others.

As the same species as Xianbei and have always been active in the border area close to the Han region, they are undoubtedly more cunning than those nomadic tribes living in Mobei, but he did not refuse this ill-intentioned arrangement. Not to mention that the more than 100,000 people who died were watching them from heaven, the teachings of shamanism alone stipulate that if they do not recapture the holy mountain, their souls after death will have nowhere to go but to wander forever between heaven and earth.

Not to mention, there are only more than 10,000 people on the other side, how can they lose with 150,000 to fight!

Facing the wide open city gate behind the strange array, Qiu Liju only made one request.

"After entering the city, I want to leave no one inside!"

……

It can only be said that Qiu Liju is thinking too much.

Although all the soldiers under Nanshan's command were ancient people, and they had only been exposed to military training for four or five months, even if they had weapons after World War II in their hands, they could not fully exert their due power, but this group of Hu people was no better.

With their war literacy, they are also accustomed to maintaining a dense stormtroop formation.

In fact, after being identified as the vanguard, the tribal coalition of 150,000 men began to break away from the main formation, slowly gathering together in the direction of Zhenyuan City, and finally formed a semi-arc encirclement less than two miles long and wide. This is exactly the width of more than 10,000 people lined up in three rows in the era of line infantry, and there is only room for a fist between each person, just to maintain enough output firepower in the same space.

But for the tribal coalition army that has to complete the encirclement on horseback, this requires extremely high operational difficulty.

Even if they had stretched out their lines as far as they could, more than a dozen times the number of troops gathered together, they were crowded like canned sardines, almost every two meters, there were three horses walking together, and there were more than twenty rows in front and behind. It's also thanks to these people who have been getting along with their horses since they were children, and their riding skills are superb, otherwise, if they don't accelerate a few hundred meters, they will definitely fall off their horses because of collisions with each other, and then be trampled into flesh by the people behind.

Of course, in Qiu Liju's eyes, this is completely their advantage.

Such a dense formation completely explains what it means to kill an elephant with more ants, even if there are many high-end forces at the level of military generals hidden in these more than 10,000 Han people, don't want to block this scene like a torrent. Each cavalry company in this group weighs nearly 400 kilograms with men and horses, and more than 20 rows are added together, and counting the terrifying impact formed after acceleration, even the first-class generals dare not shake their edge.

However, this is exactly what Nanshan is doing.

"Since the defeat of the Anglo-French formation of more than 2,000 men with tens of thousands of cavalry, all modern armies have learned wisely, and whenever the two armies are engaged, there is no longer a close collision and close shooting, and some just hide behind the barbed wire fence to put cold guns and dig trenches......"

In order to reproduce the classic duel between classical and modern armies, the bloody confrontation between will and steel, he did not hesitate to waste hundreds of millions of weapons and equipment to arm his soldiers.

But it's all well worth it.

Qiu Liju, who rushed to the front, clearly saw that when he was still two or three hundred meters away, many soldiers on the opposite side trembled and pulled the strange weapons in their hands.

Soldiers who have not been tempered in actual combat are like this, they can't stand the slightest stimulation at all, and a little pressure will be overly nervous, not to mention the shocking scene of more than 100,000 troops in front of them, and it is already considered a good psychological quality to be able to shoot at this distance. Fortunately, with such a dense formation, they don't need to aim at all, just shoot in the general direction of the enemy, and the bullets will burrow into the opponent's body by themselves.

Under the sudden loud gunshots, the suppressed desire of the soldiers in the front row to shoot could no longer hold back, only to see the arms of thousands of people raised in unison, and then countless shadows swept through the air, and the Wuhuan people who followed Qiu Liju were like wheat blown down by the wind, and at the same time the blood holes on their bodies rushed to the bloody holes, they continued to fall off their horses one after another.

In just a dozen seconds, thousands of people were turned into muddy corpses that could not be seen clearly.

That's not to mention, the people who tripped up several times as much.

With hundreds of thousands of troops pressing together, there was no need to think about whether they would have any hope of survival, as many as twenty rows of dense formations, once they ran up, no one could slow them down. Those who dare to do this will only be knocked down by those behind them, and then trampled into flesh by countless pairs of horses' hooves.

Even Qiu Liju, who had already stimulated the battle qi and had the peak strength of a second-rate general, was the same.

He can not be afraid of the threat of bullets, but the impact force of several tons of continuous collision cannot stop it at all.

But what struck him even more ridiculous was how it happened.

Before they actually made contact, they were killed or wounded, what was that weird noise, and why could they lose so much from such a distance?

I have to say that Nanshan's initial pursuit strategy was very prescient, whether it was the Vulcan cannon used at the beginning of entering this world, or the later battle for thousands of miles on the grassland, it did not let the Hu people who witnessed the power of firearms run away, and naturally they could not talk about giving a message to the tribal alliance here.

Qiu Liju, who was cornered, had to bite the bullet.

"Don't slow down, rush, just rush over!"

In the midst of the chaos, Qiu Liju yelled to cheer up the others, but the problem was that this was only the beginning.
