Chapter 215: Confrontation
The Xiongnu army rushed towards Yanmen Pass at full speed, and the previous forward was ambushed by Zhang Liao and was defeated, which made the Huns feel that the situation on the Yanmen side may be a little bad, so they changed their original plan and prepared to rush to the outside of Yanmen City as quickly as possible to raid the Yulin army.
Nearly 70,000 cavalry galloped wildly across the wilderness, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves echoed like thunder between heaven and earth. At this moment, they were only less than twenty miles away from Yanmen, and they could arrive in an hour.
Zait rode to the side of the Right Virtuous King on his horse and carried his iconic huge battle axe, and said loudly: "This battle has defeated that Yuan Mai, but don't forget our previous agreement, the whole of Yanmen County will be mine!" ”
King Youxian said angrily: "I have sworn in the name of the Kunlun God, and I will naturally abide by the agreement!" ”
Zait laughed, and then there was a look of longing in his eyes.
King Youxian glanced at Zait and admonished, "Don't think about taking Yanmen County with all your might!"
Let's think more about the next war! That Yuan Mai is not an easy character to deal with, and the Yulin army he will command is definitely a warrior who can fight well, and this battle is definitely not easy to fight! ”
Zait looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "King Youxian, your defeat in Qingshi Valley is just because you were ambushed by them by despicable means. If it is a head-to-head duel, how can the Han Dynasty be the opponent of our Xiongnu warriors?
Our Xiongnu warriors are born brave, just like the tigers and wolves that grow on the grassland, and the people of the Han Dynasty are just a large number of sheep! If we really fight, how can they be our opponents! This battle will be won!
Just don't ask that Yuan to buy and run away! ”
King Youxian nodded.
Twenty miles was a short time for the Hun cavalry who came and went like the wind, and in less than an hour, their cavalry rushed to the outside of Yanmen like a strong wind sweeping through the grassland.
However, as soon as they arrived, they saw an unexpected scene, the battle on Yanmen's side had ended, and the Yulin army had already poured out of the nest and lined up with their backs to Yanmen City to prepare for a decisive battle with them.
Seeing this scene, King Youxian did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered all the horses to slow down and gather in formation.
Nearly 70,000 Hun cavalry sounded a trumpet, and the Hun cavalry from various Xiongnu tribes quickly gathered, marched in unison and slowly pressed towards the Yulin army in front.
Soon after, the army reached a halt a hundred paces in front of the Yulin army.
At this moment, the two armies totaled more than 100,000 troops facing each other in the wilderness outside Yanmen City, hunting knives and guns like a forest, and the air in this space seemed to be about to freeze!
A Xiongnu prince couldn't help but scold: "That Yang Yi is really useless!" How much time has passed, and it was actually attacked by the Yulin Army to break through a male city like Yanmen!! ”
Zait said indifferently: "That Yuan Mai must have used some kind of trick again!" ”
Then he looked at the Yulin army formation arrayed outside the city, his eyes showed bloodthirsty excitement, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and mocked: "These Han Dynasty people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, if they cower in Yanmen City, it will make us spend a lot of time;
Now it's a good thing, they took the initiative to go out of the city to fight us, and they really sent them to death! ”
All the Xiongnu princes laughed, everyone's eyes showed excitement, and the eyes of the Right Xian King had an even more impulse for revenge, he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge the blood sea of Qingshi Valley's fiasco!
A Xiongnu prince named Monza said to King Youxian: "King Youxian, the people of the Han Dynasty have left their sturdy turtle shells, and it is a good time for us to destroy them in one fell swoop!"
We attack at once, lest they flee back into the city, but it will not be easy! ”
The other princes all chimed in.
King Youxian nodded, and said to Zait: "Zait, this Yanmen County is yours, and you should launch the first attack." ”
Zait is not a fool, he naturally understands the calculation of the Right Sage King, but the other party's words are also in his arms, and he doesn't want others to bargain with him by destroying the Yulin Army.
Nodding his head, he said, "Of course I should attack!" You all watch with your eyes wide open and see how my sons and daughters have pacified those Han Dynasty people! ”
As he spoke, Zait was arrogant, and it was no wonder that the cavalry under his right lieutenant was known for its ferocity throughout the steppe.
"Sons! Come with me! Zait raised his right hand and shouted.
The 10,000 cavalry under his command immediately let out a bloodthirsty shout, and then followed Zait slowly out of the main formation, and quickly formed a unique Hun charging formation in front of the large array, and let out a deafening roar at the opponent in front of him!
The sight was like a pack of bloodthirsty beasts, roaring at their prey with no way out, full of banter and cruelty!
Zait pulled out the big axe behind his back and raised it high, and shouted: "Sons, break through the formation with iron hooves and sweep away the enemy army!" Kill! ”
Woo woo woo ......! The horn sound peculiar to the Huns sounded loudly.
The 10,000 cavalry under Zait's command let out a roar of excitement, and then urged the horses to gallop out.
There seemed to be a violent wind blowing on the ground in an instant, and the majestic and fierce swept straight towards the Yulin Army in front of it! It was wild, like a storm sweeping through the steppe, as if no one could stop them!
Zhang Lang looked at the tide of enemy cavalry that was quickly sweeping in, and muttered: "This momentum seems to be even more powerful than the cavalry of the Right Xian King!" ”
Then he raised his right hand and shouted: "Serial strong crossbow ready!" ”
The Cangting Army immediately raised the chain of strong crossbows in their hands and aimed them at the surging tide of enemy soldiers.
This kind of chain crossbow has appeared in the previous war, its shape is much thicker and more complex than the ordinary crossbow, and unlike the chain bed crossbow that shoots all the guns and arrows at once, this kind of chain crossbow can only shoot the crossbow arrows in the arrow box one by one.
Of course, this kind of serial strong crossbow is the same as the serial bed crossbow, which is from Zhang Lang, a head far beyond this era.
The reason why Zhang Lang was able to design this kind of serial strong crossbow was not only his own knowledge reserve as a special soldier, but also the inspiration he gained from scientific exploration and Zhuge Repeater's program.
The firing principle of this kind of serial strong crossbow is the same as that of the Zhuge Repeater introduced in the program.
However, compared with the small crossbow in the show, this kind of serial strong crossbow is definitely a big guy, at least three times larger, and the power is equivalent to that of an ordinary strong crossbow.
It was also in this era that the physical fitness of the people of the Han Dynasty was particularly strong, otherwise, I am afraid that few people would be able to use this kind of chain strong crossbow.
The powerful firepower of the chain crossbow can be described as a battlefield weapon, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, after firing a round of arrows, reloading can be much more time-consuming and laborious than ordinary strong crossbows!
