Chapter 581: The Battle of Wujin (Part II)
The scouts of the Huns came and went like the wind, frantically attacking the Han army who dared to approach the horses.
The dense sound of horses' hooves and the occasional screams were constantly heard in the wind, and the Han army, which was inferior in terms of cavalry, was obviously oppressed.
"Herald."
Li Yunze instructed the hanbok around him, "All the outposts are withdrawn." ”
"喏~~~"
Hanbok first ordered his own soldiers to convey the order, and then asked with a puzzled face, "King, if there is no horse sentinel to detect the enemy's situation, I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it." ”
The main job of the horse is to spy on the movements of the enemy army and avoid the enemy army from playing all kinds of tricks, and his side is still ignorant.
"It doesn't matter."
Looking at the Huns surging in the distance, Li Yunze responded lightly, "They are here for a decisive battle, and there is no time to waste." ”
Raids, grain routes, strategic encirclement, etc., are useless for the Aries Department at this time.
Because their old camp is always facing the threat of the defenders of Chengle County, once the defenders see through the reality and take the initiative to attack, the old camp will be gone.
Therefore, for the Aries tribe, it is necessary to win this battle quickly, and then quickly rush back with the main force of soldiers and horses.
Li Yunze saw it clearly, so he took back the exploration horse outside without any worries to avoid meaningless losses.
In fact, for the Han army at this time, the best way was to garrison Wujin, attract the Huns to come over and besiege the city, and then break through each one.
It's just that he wasn't sure if the Huns had reinforcements, or when the reinforcements would come.
Anyway, the reinforcements of the Han army will not come in a short time, because the main reinforcements will definitely go to Shangjun, because it is the north gate of Jingzhao Chang'an.
Moreover, Li Yunze wanted to defeat the Huns in the field battle with dignity, kill the arrogance of the Huns, and rewrite the situation that the Han army was invincible in the field.
Before the war, Li Yunze made a heavy promise, "Order all the soldiers and soldiers of the army, if you win this battle, you should be rewarded with ten taels of money and ten horses of silk!" Beheading military merits, beheading generals, capturing the flag, and jumping are counted separately! ”
The news was passed on layer by layer, and the Han army was suddenly thunderous with joy and morale.
The Huns were far inferior to the Han army not only in terms of equipment, but also in morale.
As for the reason, it is very simple, it is impossible for their leaders and nobles to offer such a high reward.
Li Yunze, who was on horseback, raised his arms high and slowly moved forward, "Array, face the enemy!" ”
'Knock Knock~~~'
The dull sound of drums sounded, and many neatly dressed Han army sergeants, holding their own weapons, began to line up one after another under the supervision and scolding of officers at all levels.
The so-called array does not mean that tens of millions of people gather together and form a large array.
This is a fight, not a team gymnastics world record.
Taking the Han army as an example, the array is usually based on the tun as a unit, that is, a small formation of fifty people, and then a number of small formations are close to form a large array, and more large arrays are gathered together, which is the real military array.
The total number of soldiers of the Han army was about 7,000.
Li Yunze took the soldiers and horses of Zhongshan State in his headquarters as the leader of the Chinese army, and ordered the military commander Chen Xinsuo to be the front army, the Wugao commander Hanfu to be the right army, and the Wujin Zhao Guang to be the left army.
As for the rear team, it is a team of thousands of Tutuan villagers.
They were also armed with weapons and crossbows, surrounded many vans to form a circle to protect themselves, and followed the large array forward to protect the hind hips of the large array.
Li Yunze didn't plan to use those masters to fight on the front-line battlefield, if he really waited until the masters had to go to the front row, it would basically be lost.
The army marched slowly to the beat of the drums, and every once in a while, they would stop to straighten the queue.
After all, it's not a horizontal line and vertical display, so there will inevitably be deviations when marching on the battlefield.
If the deviation is not corrected, the farther it goes, the more chaotic it will become, until it finally completely scatters into a rout.
In this regard, the Han army, which has thousands of years of experience in warfare, has long formulated relevant military orders, usually stopping at sixty steps to rectify the formation.
In comparison, the Huns on the opposite side were simply scattered sand.
The nomadic tribes of the steppe are really strong, and they have to wait until they get a large number of Middle-earth craftsmen and have advanced equipment. After learning the combat skills of Middle-earth, and having a long training period with many non-commissioned officers.
Looking at the Han army's large array that was gradually pressing over, Su Bulu also felt that his teeth were sore.
Although the Han army was not as numerous as him, it was well-equipped and well-organized, and it was not easy to deal with at first glance.
In the past, it was bound to be mainly harassed, dragging on until the Han army was exhausted and its morale collapsed.
But there is no way to do it today, we must finish this battle as soon as possible and rush back.
If you win, it's easy to say anything, even if you lose, you can choose to run away immediately.
But no matter what, this battle must be fought.
Taking a deep breath, Subulu summoned several commanders and instructed them to lead their troops to resist the Han army pressing on them.
These commanders were all mainly farming people, holding some strange weapons in their hands, crowded together in a messy manner to prepare to resist the Han army.
Naturally, Subulu couldn't count on this rabble, and his real killing move was more than 10,000 cavalry.
It is impossible for the cavalry to charge directly into the formation, at least until the collapse of the Han army's military formation, and the direct light cavalry charging the formation is looking for death.
These cavalry would circle the flanks and attack the flanks and rear of the Han army, looking for loopholes and launching a deadly assault.
As for the Han master at the end, he must be able to become a big man not only by blood, but naturally has the ability.
As long as the Han army can be defeated, those masters are a plate of dishes, and they can eat as much as they want, and of course they will not waste their strength on the masters at this time.
Su Bulu issued orders one after another, and sent a group of men and horses to resist the advance of the Han army's left and right flank arrays.
And he himself sat in the rear with tens of thousands of people, waiting for the opportunity to go in.
The front part of the Han army is Chen Xin's department, and its equipment is still mainly based on halberds, the first few rows are more than 1,000 halberd soldiers, followed by the halberd soldiers are responsible for the protection of the sword and shield hands, and then the back is the crossbowmen.
These are all border troops, skilled in skills and tactics, and their morale is also very high under Li Yunze's high reward, and the most important thing is that the armor rate of the Great Wall Army has always been very high, and among the halberders in the front row, there are even more than thirty percent of the iron armor.
Iron armor is the most important strategic resource in this era.
The Huns' cavalry came in a surge, throwing bows and arrows at a distance of dozens of paces to harass.
The rain of arrows flew over the sky, and when there were enough of them, there were still many unlucky Han soldiers who were shot at the unarmored parts.
They fell to the ground screaming, but the big array would not give them the slightest preferential treatment, and the men in the back row would immediately come forward to replenish them, and continue to move forward to the beat of the drums.
The Han army's crossbowmen were also fighting back, their crossbows were long-range and powerful, and they fell on the Hun cavalry, which had almost no armor, and the lethality was huge.
On the battlefield where arrows are flying, the large arrays on both sides are also approaching.
When the distance between the two sides was only a mile of land, a large number of Han soldiers suddenly rushed out of the gaps and passages of many small phalanxes in the front of the Han army, shouting and rushing forward.
It's not that you've lost your formation, these are the jumpers that were picked out in front of the station!
The so-called jumping soldier means that when the two armies meet, before the army formation is finally corrected, a wave of men and horses are needed to impact the enemy army, and at the same time disrupt the enemy formation, buy enough time for the main force to finally stabilize the impact.
These jumpers are all selected on the principle of voluntary registration, and they are all elites who are not afraid of death.
And the skill of jumping has always been the first of all merits.
Basically, as long as you can survive, you can be promoted and make a fortune.
Without this premise, no one would go crazy and be a death squad.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the jumping soldiers, Li Yunze not only recruited more of the Zhongshan soldiers he brought, but even provided almost 200 sets of iron armor, and equipped the jumping soldiers with a total of less than 400 people.
Before leaving, the jumping soldiers, who each drank a bowl of wine, went straight to the front of the Huns with red eyes and various weapons.
At this distance, the Huns' cavalry had no time to react, and it was difficult to break through the blockade of the Han army's crossbowmen, so they could only watch the jumping soldiers crash into the front army array.
Some of the jumpers carried infantry bows, and they all shot arrows frantically at a distance of twenty or thirty paces, and after shooting the quiver, they rushed forward with their companions with their shields and swords.
The Huns' weapons swept over, stabbed and slashed, and smashed over, and in the first wave of impact, at least seventy or eighty of the jumping soldiers fell to the ground.
However, the rest of the people successfully rushed into the array of the Huns, wielding all kinds of weapons in their hands wildly, reaping the lives in front of them.
The foot soldiers of the Aries tribe are really poor in combat effectiveness, and they are even inferior to the Tutuan villagers of the Han army.
Because their burden is very heavy, not only have to farm, but also take care of animal husbandry, but also have to do all kinds of work for the leaders and nobles, from morning to night there is almost no free time, naturally there is no time to sharpen martial arts and train battle formations.
Its combat effectiveness is probably stronger than the beggar army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The elite jumping soldiers successfully disrupted the formation of the Xiongnu front army, killing countless people and causing countless casualties, while gradually plunging the Xiongnu front army into chaos.
They all came to win military merit with the heart of death, and the iron-clad defense on their bodies was amazing, and the combat effectiveness that erupted made the Huns tremble.
Subru was shocked!
He knew that the Han army was elite, but he didn't expect it to be so elite!
The front army, which consisted of thousands of men, was almost about to collapse.
There was no way, he could only urgently arrange for the lieutenant around him to bring the reserves forward to reinforce and stabilize the formation.
The two sides were still separated by more than a hundred steps, and the Huns were already in chaos, which cast a shadow on Subulu's heart.
'Han family, is it really so strong? ’
The jumping soldiers who were fighting frantically in the Hun army suddenly heard the rapid sound of drums behind them, and they were immediately relieved, the red bloodshot in their eyes quickly subsided, and they ran back desperately.
The jumping skill is already in hand, and now we have to run.
Of the nearly 400 jumping soldiers, less than 200 managed to escape back, and the terrifying battle loss rate is also the reason why the jumping skill is the first of all the merits.
At this time, the long halberd soldiers in the front row of Zhao Xin's department were only the last thirty steps away from the Huns on the opposite side.
As the drums sounded, the sergeants in the front row paused against the rain of arrows on the opposite side to make final adjustments.
The Han army maintained its strict military formation, while the Huns on the opposite side were already crooked and disorganized.
Even if the Jumpers had withdrawn, they would not have time to regroup.
As the drums sounded again, the halberd held high by the Han army fell, and the halberd was pointed to the opposite side with both hands in hand.
"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”
As the Han army shouted expletives in unison, they began to move forward.
The steps are small, almost small steps.
But the pressure on the opposite side of the Huns is like Mount Tai.
Li Yunze, who was on horseback, saw clearly that the front of the Huns was already scattered, and there was a lack of long soldiers.
He immediately ordered, "No need to tempt, attack!" ”
The drum sounded, and the halberd soldiers of the Han army, who had already approached within ten paces, gave up their tentative movements and directly stabbed the halberd in their hands towards the opposite side.
In an instant, the shadow of the halberd was like the wind, and the blood was like a spring!
