Chapter 232: The Battle of the Maple Grove
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Kill the Hun dog thief! Kill the Hun dog thief! ”
"The Huns are dog thieves, they trample on us, they deceive people too much, this hatred and hatred, today will snow!"
"Fight with the Hun dog thief, kill! Kill! ”
The Xiongnu Zuo Dadang Hu Qi Wu Khan and the soldiers and horses led by him were also cautious, but when they passed through a maple forest, they still fell into the plan.
If the enemy leads his troops across the water to fight, he must not meet them at the water's edge. As long as it is half-finished, the ranks are undecided, the head and tail are not answered, and the attack will be won.
Whether it is a half-crossing attack or a half-way attack, it is to take advantage of the terrain and topography to adopt a strategy of surprise attack on the enemy, and to make use of all the terrain and terrain that can be used, such as mountains, water, grass and trees, and everything that can be used, to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
If the enemy is outnumbered and the enemy is strong with the weak, it is all the more necessary to adopt such a method of warfare.
The maple forest, the sparse trees, is not easy to set up ambushes, but the good attackers move above the nine heavens, and the good defenders hide under the nine lands. When Qi Wu Khan and others led more than 5,000 men swaggering through the maple forest, lying in ambush on the tree, among the lush branches and leaves, the sensitive people have bows and arrows, and those without bows and arrows will attack with stones, and the arrows and stones are like rain to the Hun army, and the Huns have fallen off their horses with arrows, and the people shout that the horses are neighing, and they are in a mess.
The arrows and stones were fired together, and the Hun army fell one after another, in a chaos, and before they could slow down, countless "native people" suddenly came out of the ground.
The so-called natives, that is, the slaves who hid deep underground, used dirt or grass to cover their bodies, so as to achieve the effect of sudden attacks and concealment of their defenselessness.
The maple trees were sparse and could not set up a large number of ambushes, so Zhou Fugui and Ye Guanting set up this strange plot hidden underground.
The "natives" pushed away the haystacks and dirt used to hide their figures, jumped up or drilled out from the ground like the earth's grandsons, and frantically killed the Hun soldiers, and countless "natives" raised their big knives and raised their knives to cut down, and the screams and shouts of killing resounded in the sky.
In addition, many "natives" reached out with hooks or smashed wooden sticks at the naked feet of the enemy Huns, and screams were heard one after another
The Hun army was in chaos, some fled in panic, many were hooked to the ankles, or dragged down the horses, many cavalry were tripped and fell to the ground, and then the blades were added to the body, and there were screams. Causing chaos, the slave archers also had great successes. In the blink of an eye, countless Hun soldiers were shot down. The "natives" who had already rushed into the queue of the other side fought desperately with the Hun soldiers.
The Xiongnu generals or soldiers in the front or behind the palace, they have not been attacked for the time being, and they can still see the development of the situation, so they led the elite soldiers and horses under their command to kill in the middle, wanting to save each other, but the Huns in the middle also had many casualties, and the middle has been defeated.
Qi Wu Khan's troops were ambushed in the maple forest, Qi Wu Khan was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, his face was as white as earth, trembling all over, and he could no longer command, but the Hun forward general Sardol was experienced, and saw that there were not many slave troops in ambush, so he took more than a hundred fierce cavalry to fight back, ran to Qi Wu Khan's side, raised his knife and shouted loudly: "The thieves are bluffing, they don't have many people, Hugh should panic, Hugh should panic!" The cavalry outside, the archers inside, stabilized the formation and rushed forward out of the woods. ”
Sadore has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, knowing that at this moment, the slave army is just using the maple forest to launch a surprise attack, so as long as they rush out of the maple forest, the slave army will lose their advantage and rush out of the maple forest, and the Hun army will even turn defeat into victory, the reason is that the Hun army is overwhelming after all, after all, the slave army is almost all foot soldiers, and the Hun army is mainly cavalry.
The advantage of cavalry is that when it comes to open land, no one can stop it, whether it is fighting or fleeing.
And at this moment, we must not retreat or run away, otherwise it will inevitably cause a greater rout, so Sardol's command at the critical time is more appropriate.
Under the command of Sartori, countless cavalry rode forward, blocking the periphery, forming a circle on the periphery, and within the circle were the Hun archers or Hun soldiers who lost their horses.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
The Hun cavalry on the periphery waved their knives and slashed the slave army that rushed over, even if they were killed in battle or shot down from the horse, their war horses, whether dead or alive, would form a barrier, and the Hun archers in the circle desperately released arrows outward, at this time there was no need for accuracy, as long as the arrow was launched.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The slave soldiers rushed desperately to kill, impacting the formation of the Hun army, but they were hacked to death and slashed by the Hun cavalry, or shot or wounded by the Hun archers in the circle.
Countless slaves jumped out of their hiding places and rushed towards the Huns, who were also extremely fierce, and after the initial confusion, quickly stabilized their positions and began to organize men and horses to fight back.
The Hun army's arrows were extremely accurate, and in the counterattack, the rows of slave soldiers who rushed up shot to the ground.
The shouts of killing on both sides resounded, and the killing was inseparable.
The Huns formed a circle of arrows around the Huns back to back, and the edges of the arrow circles were the corpses of the downed slaves.
Some of the slave soldiers who braved the rain of arrows of the Huns and finally rushed to the inner circle were fiercely cut down to the ground by the Huns, and some of the people who were cut down and fell to the ground for the time being were trampled to death by the iron hooves of the Huns.
But Sador, however, was only concerned about the outside and not the inside, or in this panic, he had no time to look inside.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Kill the Hun dog thief! Kill the Hun dog thief! ”
The hundreds of slaves who had previously "returned to obedience" suddenly seized the opportunity to burst out at this moment, holding all kinds of rudimentary blades to kill the Chinese army of Qi Wu Khan and Sador, all of them with red eyes and blood, and they rushed madly to kill, as long as they broke the Chinese army of Qi Wu Khan and Sador, the Hun army would be self-defeating.
The strong man of the Huns, who was "determined by death", was still not dead after being stabbed in the stomach, and was carried by two slaves and commanded the slave army to rush and kill.
"The cheap slave really cheated!" The commander of the Hun army, Zuo Dadanghu Qi Wuhan saw this and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and after scolding, he fell off his horse and hurried to save him.
The slave army should cooperate with the outside, so that the Hun army, which had just had an advantage, was chaotic again, so the Huns had to fight the slave army outside the team, and also deal with the slaves who "rebelled" inside.
The Hun army instantly lost its advantage again, but it still had the advantage in numbers, and the two sides almost ended in a tie and fell into a stalemate.
"Kill out, kill out." Sador was also killed, and after swinging his knife and slashing over a slave who rushed over, he raised his knife and said loudly.
Under the shouts of Sador, several Hun warriors wore heavy armor and held iron shields to protect their heads, leading dozens of soldiers to brave the rain of arrows and kill forward
These dozens of Hun warriors slashed left and right in the crowd of slaves like chopping waves along the way, and fought their way out of the bloody road, and the Hun army's defensive circle also slowly moved in this direction, rushing to the outside of the maple forest, and it looked like they were about to break out of the encirclement.
Zuo Dadanghu Qi Wuhan was pale and weak at this time, and was crossed by a strong guard on his horse and rushed towards the maple forest.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Kill the Hun dog thief! Kill the Hun dog thief! ”
Along the way, the soldiers of the slave army intercepted and killed the Huns who wanted to escape from the maple forest, even if they died, they were not afraid, like moths to a fire.
The so-called oppression has resistance, the more fierce the oppression, the more fierce the resistance, for a long time, the cruelty of the Huns to the slaves of other tribes, has already made a group of slaves to the Huns is bitter hatred, at this time there is a chance for revenge, how not to fight? Why don't you fight back? At this moment, what is there to fear about death?
Moreover, the slaves rebelled against the brutal Huns at this time, and if they did not win, they would all die, and they would die a miserable death.
And the Huns are numerous, and the vast grassland, the environment is harsh, people who grew up in this kind of place, there is a fierce spirit by nature, whether it is men and women, or young and old, so the Huns are fighting with the slave army for their lives, while thinking about the maple forest to run, all the way, is a river of blood, corpses are all over the field.
The corpses were Huns and slaves, overlapping and entangled together, flesh and blood blurred, regardless of you and me, the situation was extremely tragic.
"Warriors, hurry, rush out, kill! Kill... Yes? ”
When Sador, who was covered in blood and finally led the army to the edge of the maple forest, he was raising his sword and shouting wildly, when he suddenly saw the dust in front of him under the remnant sun, and he was immediately frozen, and before he finished shouting, it was as if he had been cut off with a knife.
"Tom... Tong... Tom..."
"Woo... Woo... Woo..."
Drums burst, horns repeatedly, a strong general, wearing a black cloak, wrapped in a black iron armor, holding a sharp lance, in the afterglow of the setting sun, snatching the prancing horse, is leading five hundred elite horsemen towards the Hun army to kill.
Although there were only more than 500 cavalry rushing towards the Hun army, but behind them was dusty, covering the sky, there was a small hill behind them, behind the hill was dusty, and the sound of dense horse hooves could be heard, obviously the cavalry and horses were rushing here.
Where is this team of hundreds of people? Obviously, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of people have such a battle... Which lied about the military situation?
The sound of dense horses' hooves was like thunder, knocking on the ground, and like knocking on the tip of every Hun heart, which was terrifying, and a group of Huns suddenly panicked, and at the same time scolded their mothers loudly in their hearts, they were all angry about it.
And the panic of the army is contagious, and if one person wants to run or surrender, then it will be transmitted to the second, third, and fourth people, until the whole army is defeated.
Once the morale of the army is lost, a great rout will occur, and even the fierce Huns will not be able to escape this trick.
At this moment, although the Xiongnu army did not have a major rout, it was not far away.
Some Huns wanted to resist, some Huns wanted to escape, and even some Huns just wanted to kneel and beg for mercy and escape with their lives.
If they die, the wives and children, or the cattle, horses, sheep and other belongings in the tent belong to someone else.
