Yellow Turban Troubled Times Chapter 106 Two axes cut the ground fiercely
"Division commander, there is a town in the neighboring county in the distance that has lit a beacon fire to call the police, and the forward troops of the Xianbei people should have come in, and I wonder if the county where we are stationed will be harassed by the Xianbei?"
"They will definitely come!" Xu Huang's brother-in-law, Hu Feiya, Hu Liya's younger brother, said without waiting for his brother-in-law Xu Huang to speak.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Jamu, somewhat puzzled.
"With my understanding of the Xianbei people's greed and inaction, Hu Feiya, who almost suffered the disaster of extermination, saw his relatives die in front of him one by one, and replied with a painful face.
"Little brother, don't be sad, and see that my brother will avenge you tonight!" Xu Huang gently stroked the top of his brother-in-law's head with his big hand, and said very calmly.
"Report to the division commander, there are now a large number of people gathering in the direction of Changzi County!" a sentry stepped forward to report to Xu Huang.
"Continue to probe again and find out the number of enemies and the location of the thief chief!" Xu Huang, who was standing in the middle of the town, gave an order.
"Division Commander, Jammu has something to say, why don't we defend the county seat of the eldest son, but go forward and ambush in a town that doesn't have too many fortifications?" Jammu asked.
"If we defend according to the danger, the Xianbei people will see that the attack is hopeless, and they will have the heart to retreat, and maybe they will make a detour to the south and plague other counties where the defenders are weak. Our purpose is to destroy the invading enemy, so we must use the eldest son county town behind us to attract Xianbei to come!" Xu Huang patiently explained to Jia Mu.
"So, we're just a Y-U bait?" Jamu asked.
"Not really, the Xianbei people are plundering everywhere, and there is no order to be found, maybe they went elsewhere, and they were beaten by the garrison and their noses were swollen, and they didn't dare to come. Another member of the Little Tiger team said that it was Tian Feng's son Tian Yue.
"Xianbei people are definitely reluctant to let go of this piece of F-IR-U in Changzi County!" Xu Huang said with certainty. Judging from the current situation, the Xianbei people are really as cruel and barbaric as Zhao Xing described, and some of the people who escaped from Hexi County went to Shangdang, and after listing the evil deeds of the Xianbei people such as cooking children, cutting off men's heads, and lighting houses on fire, they were no different from what Zhao Xing said on the day he convened the meeting. Several counties in Xihe County have been breached, hundreds of people have been killed and injured, and the place where the Xianbei people have passed is simply hell on earth!
"Report to the division commander, about 3,000 men and horses are rushing straight to the county seat of Changzi, which is already less than ten miles away from us!"
"Prepare three piles of beacon fires, once you meet the enemy, raise the fire as a signal, and ask Division Commander Zhao and the cavalry of the commander of Koyi to come to support!" Xu Huang began to give orders.
"Jia Mu, I order you to take the members of the Little Tigers into the house to hide, and don't go out of the house until it's safe!"
"Ho;N formation battalion all obey the order! Form a defensive formation, even if you fight to the last soldier today, you will not take half a step back!"
"Never take half a step back!" the more than 400 Crouching Tiger soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly!
"Uncle, let's not attack the county seat of the eldest son! Since entering the territory of Shangdang, there have been no people all the way, and the Han people have all abandoned the village, and they have not even left us with half a hu rice or a jī, so it is clear that we have already defended ourselves!"
"It is precisely because we have entered the Shangdang that we have not fished anything, and it shows that there are now a large number of Han people and their food and property gathered in the county seat of the eldest son, and once the county seat is conquered, we can return with a full load! We have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and we can come and go freely against the Han people, so why be afraid!"
"Report to your lordship, there is a town ahead, just blocking the way of the army, and there are hundreds of Han troops stationed in the town!"
"Hehe, hundreds of men and horses dare to stop my army of three thousand? Children, your opportunity for wealth is coming! Rush through the town in front, and behind is the county town of Changzi, as long as you kill it, you can do whatever you want, and take the property and NV people inside at will!" The same words came out of the robber's mouth again on Chinese New Year's Eve. The first commander to say this has been cut off by Guan Yu, what will be the fate of the first commander to say this?
"Seal the shield wall! The crossbowmen are looking for cover nearby, and listen to my command to counterattack!" Xu Huang looked at the Xianbei army that was gradually surrounding, and calmly and decisively gave the order.
"Arrows!" After the Xianbei people surrounded the town, the commander gave the order to attack.
"Ding...... "......An overwhelming rain of arrows rained down from the sky, hitting the shield walls in a circular shape, and many of them landed on the heads of the Crouching Tiger soldiers!
It's a pity that Zhao Xing, a guy who likes to play Ming Creation, had already improved the style and materials of the soldier's armor and helmet half a year ago. Nowadays, all the helmets worn by the soldiers are domes with a large rim, like a straw hat, as long as the head is slightly lowered, it can be well defended against arrows coming down at a parabolic angle, so as not to suffer casualties due to poor head protection. This helmet also has the advantage that it is difficult for the enemy to hurt the neck of the foot soldier when he chops the foot soldier on the ground from the horse, which can greatly protect the life of the soldier.
A rain of arrows fell, and only a few of the spearmen and halberders, who were surrounded by the shield wall, were wounded by the arrows in the shoulders and backs, but they were not serious. This is also due to the perverted Zhao Xing's adoption of a new armor production process, he used thickened and hardened steel plates for the key parts of the armor of the heavy infantry, which increased the protection while not increasing the weight of the soldiers too much, affecting the action.
"Light the beacon fire!" "The crossbowmen return fire!" Xu Huang gave two orders in succession.
The crossbowmen who were hidden in the houses on both sides suddenly jumped out, and a round of arrows went towards the dense crowd of Xianbei, and after sh-, they hid in the house again.
In the center of the town, a huge steel hedgehog huddled in a ball, just in the way of the Xianbei people. The commander of the ten thousand men resorted to all kinds of schemes, but Xu Huang was unmoved, neither fighting nor retreating, and from time to time he let a hundred and ten crossbowmen cast cold arrows at his side.
This kind of scoundrel play made Que Ju Bisha angry half to death, but it was also a mouse pulling a turtle, and there was nowhere to eat. Obviously, his own men and horses are nine times the number of the opponent, but they can be blocked in a small space, but they can't attack on a large scale. Although several small-scale charges were organized, the spears and halberds that stretched out diagonally from the shield wall were really cavalry nemesis, and before they could rush to the shield wall, countless men and horses were stabbed to death!
"If only there were a large number of rockets!" Que Ju Bisha thought hatefully in his heart, but unfortunately, in order to vent his dissatisfaction along the way, this group of Xianbei people had already used the rockets they carried with them to the villages they passed, and now they couldn't make up a single rocket raid.
"Uncle, let's withdraw quickly! Just now the other side lit three beacon fires, maybe the reinforcements are nearby, and if you don't leave, you may be surrounded by the other party," the commander anxiously persuaded.
"Let's retreat! Go south!" Que Ju Bisha gave the order unwillingly.
"It's not good, we've been cut off by someone!" Que Juyanke suddenly said to his uncle in a deep voice. Que Ju Bisha looked back, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart! I don't know when, a swarthy cavalry had already taken advantage of the night S-, quietly surrounded them, bent their bows and arrows, and quietly lined up the attack formation!
The light cavalry battalion led by Zhao Yun was originally located in the middle of the road and was circling around the county seat of Changzi County, while the guerrilla independent battalion led by Guo Changzi was cruising on the Shangdang North Road. Seeing that three beacon fires were actually lit near Changzi County at the same time, according to the prior agreement, this meant that Xianbei's main force was present, so the two cavalry rushed to Xu Huang at the same time. The light cavalry battalion led by Zhao Yun was close, faster than the heavy cavalry but slightly slower than the guerrilla cavalry used for reconnaissance, Guo Changzi was just the opposite, the distance was a little farther, but the degree was the fastest, and their respective troops finally rushed to the rescue at the most dangerous juncture!
"After leaving a small number of men and horses to break off, the rest of the men and horses will rush forward with me! Smash the iron hedgehog in front and occupy the county seat!" Que Ju Bisha gave a very stupid order.
Seeing that the Xianbei people suddenly moved, and charged in front of their shield wall desperately, and there was a faint sound of fighting in the rear, Xu Huang knew that the cavalry patrolling nearby had arrived. So he shouted loudly: "Brothers, Division Commander Zhao's cavalry has cut off the back road of the Xianbei people, we must not take half a step back, we must let this group of Xianbei people die here!"
A brutal hand-to-hand combat began......
The Xianbei people rushed towards the shield wall deployed by Xu Huang desperately, the dead war horses and Xianbei people were already in front of the shield wall, and the corpses were used to cushion a bloody path on the road sandwiched by the houses on both sides of the town, and many Xianbei people had already dismounted and climbed up to the height of the human wall, ready to cross the shield wall and fight with the Han army in close quarters.
The cavalry wantonly slaughtered the Xianbei people from the rear, but unfortunately the narrow terrain was also not conducive to the attack and charge of their own cavalry, so they had to watch the Xianbei people rush towards Xu Huang like ch-o water.
More than half of Xu Huang's foot soldiers had been killed or wounded, and seeing that the shield wall was already showing signs of failure, Xu Huang shouted: "Lift me to the top of the wall!"
Then Xu Huang, who was dressed in heavy armor, was thrown on top of the shield wall by three fierce soldiers together. I saw Xu Huang, who was covered in human blood and horse blood, like a bloodthirsty devil who had just crawled out of the Nine Abyss Hell, holding a big axe in each hand, standing on the corpses piled up by the Xianbei people, and cutting off all the heads of the Xianbei people who climbed up one by one!
"Kill!" Xu Huang, who roared, held an axe and a fork in both hands, and cut off the head of a Xianbei centurion who had just stood up.
"Who else is going to send them to death?!! Xu Huang stood on the pile of corpses, wearing a 1-eyed d-ng helmet, and two blood-stained axes protected in front of Xiong, letting out a roar like a tiger's roar!
"Order the troops attacking in front to retreat, we will let the Xianbei people out, we can't let Division Commander Xu kill any more!" Zhao Yun rode on the horse from a distance, looked at the second brother's somewhat demonic demeanor, and decisively gave the order.
He believed that as long as Xu Huang stood on the pile of Xianbei people's corpses, no Xianbei person would be able to break through his pair of big axes tonight. He even believed that if Xu Huang continued to kill with his life and blood like this, the second brother would likely become a bloodthirsty madman in the future.
With Zhao Yun's order, the party cavalry on the ground who was bursting with Xianbei people slowly retreated, making way for Xianbei people.
