Deng Chun led fifty cavalrymen and had already crossed the river around the upper reaches of the small river to pick up Guan Sheng's infantry and return or look for an opportunity to cover the killing.

These cavalrymen of the box army, with their armor looking quite bluffing, all imitated the style of war generals.

In fact, all of them are cloth armor, with coarse cloth as the surface and muslin as the lining, and the nail pattern is drawn on the surface. It can defend against bows and arrows that are not very powerful, and it has a little defense against slashes.

They are all southwestern ponies, with great climbing and good stamina, but poor weight and explosiveness.

The river, which is several meters wide, quickly swims across.

Guan Sheng had already led the infantry to chase and kill the barbarians to three miles away from the village. From time to time, barbarians were caught up and hacked to death, and the thief leader Ateng was almost dragged away by two elite barbarians due to excessive bleeding.

The soldiers who remained in the mountains and forests also carried the corpses of their two comrades-in-arms, supported the wounded who had lost their mobility, and also looted some enemy armor, and moved down the mountain towards the river in a panic.

Deng Chun saw that there was no enemy behind the soldiers, so he ran towards Guan Sheng at full speed.

"Guan Dutou, come back!" Deng Chun shouted.

"Woo woo woo ~ ~~"

The herald blew the horn and waved the flag at the same time, signaling Guan Sheng not to pursue again.

Guan Sheng was unwilling, because he was about to catch up with the thief.

"Knock knock!"

Drums sounded in the barbarian village, and Suge, the eldest son of Busu, led hundreds of barbarian soldiers out of the village to meet his younger brother Ateng.

Seeing this, Guan Sheng had no choice but to retreat, watching the thief flee.

In this pursuit, the mandarin duck array has long been chaotic. In particular, the wolf miller, dragging a long bamboo pole, walked slowly in the mountains and forests, and was already nearly 100 meters behind.

Just when Guan Sheng retreated from the whole team, Su Ge personally led more than 100 barbarian horsemen, bypassed Ateng's rout, and rushed towards Guan Sheng.

"Array, array!" Guan Sheng shouted.

The heralds also blew bamboo whistles, and the squad leaders gathered their troops with spears with small triangular flags at the ends.

The two sides are on the verge of breaking out.

Zhu Ming saw it with a telescope, and without waiting for all the leveling cannons to be assembled, he ordered the fire to be fired at the low wall on the other side of the river.

The people and soldiers of Lizhou, as well as more than 500 barbarian soldiers who surrendered along the way, crossed the river in five sections. They carried their upside-down boats to defend themselves against bows and arrows, and when they reached the river, they turned over the boats, but most of them were feints. It is nothing more than to attract the attention of the enemy army, so that the friendly troops on the other side can return safely.

In Zhu Ming's hands, there were only about a hundred soldiers left as reserves.

"Puff puff!"

More than 20 leveling cannons have been assembled, and stone projectiles are concentrated on a low wall.

Where have the brutes ever seen this? Frightened, they hid behind the low wall, and the timid ones fled directly.

The cavalry on both sides had already begun to shoot at each other, but Deng Chun's archery skills were not good, so he was too lazy to use a bow and arrow, so he rushed over with an iron mace.

The mandarin duck array was also rearranged, and Guan Sheng and the team leaders began to shoot arrows.

There were only more than 100 barbarian cavalry under the command of Su Ge, and in the face of the mandarin duck array and the Han cavalry, he immediately chose to retreat temporarily, because the infantry under his command had not yet arrived on the battlefield.

"Kill!"

Deng Chun did not pursue the barbarian cavalry, but led the cavalry around the flank and charged towards the hundreds of barbarian infantry.

The hundreds of barbarians were only here to meet the friendly troops, and Su Ge led the cavalry to chase the enemy, and they could only follow along. Between the runs, the formation was chaotic, and the brute generals who led the team couldn't be restrained at all.

Deng Chun led fifty cavalry, and had already rushed to thirty paces away, and hundreds of barbarian soldiers stopped one after another, and several barbarian generals commanded to deal with the cavalry charge.

Hundreds of barbarian soldiers were still arrayed, and Deng Chun had already killed in front of him.

smashed out, and the head of the brutal general in front of him was instantly beaten to the point that his brain burst out.

Like a knife cutting tofu, the fifty Han cavalry slaughtered into the hundreds of barbarians, dividing these barbarians in scattered formations.

Seeing this, Su Ge could only be in a hurry, he led more than 100 barbarian cavalry and withdrew to the side of the mountain, originally planning to cooperate with the infantry to fight. But Deng Chun was on the side of the river, frantically attacking his infantry, and it was too late to intercept it.

Guan Sheng also led the Han soldiers and formed a mandarin duck formation to charge. They chased down from the mid-mountain, and at the moment they were extremely tired, but their morale was very high, because they had been winning the battle.

Hundreds of barbarian soldiers encountered fifty Han cavalry, and they were routed in one shot.

Even if it is an elite infantry, the formation is unstable and is attacked by the cavalry, and the cavalry is charged into the ranks, and no matter how well-trained, it will be defeated.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing that it was difficult to recover the defeat, Su Ge immediately decided to lead the cavalry back to the village. He couldn't care about the hundreds of barbarian soldiers, and how much he could escape back was all up to creation.

Busu asked his youngest son to lead the troops to meet the cavalry, and he commanded the troops to block the main force of the Han soldiers from crossing the river.

Hundreds of barbarian soldiers were killed and scattered in all directions, and the clever ones rushed into the mountains and forests, and in this way fled into the mountains for more than 200 people. Those who lose their minds only know how to turn around and flee, not only facing the pursuers behind them, but also the bows and arrows of the friendly troops.

Zhu Ming originally planned to attack again tomorrow, but this sudden unexpected situation made him keenly grasp the opportunity: "Beat the drums, and the whole army will cross the river!" ”

"Knock knock!"

The drums were loud, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the Lizhou army, which pretended to cross the river, rowed a small boat and really started to attack.

Deng Chun pursued for a while and then retreated, with a large force of barbarians in front of him, and there were low walls and trenches, which made it easy for cavalry to fall inside.

Guan Sheng also gathered the infantry and rested in formation, they were extremely tired and had to slow down before they could continue the battle.

The combined forces of the two were less than two hundred, but they mobilized more than a thousand enemy troops, and the front of the thief village thus exposed a gap in defense.

Su Ge led the cavalry back to the village, and was immediately scolded by his father: "Let you go to pick up your brother, why did you lead the troops to chase out?" Forget about chasing out, how can cavalry and infantry be divided into two parts? How can your cavalry hide at the foot of the mountain, so that the Han cavalry can find a chance to attack the infantry warriors? ”

Su Ge was speechless, unable to find a reason to quibble.

He was only in his early twenties, and he had no chance to participate in the great battle of the two forest barbarians before. In recent years, he only attacked the remnants of the two forest divisions in the north with the army, and often the infantry rushed a few times to defeat the enemy, and the rest was just that he led the cavalry to chase and kill.

Now that the real battle is being fought, the brains of Suge are not enough.

When it was time to calm down, he threw down his infantry and rushed out. When it was time to be brave, he avoided the front of the Han cavalry and chose to hide between the infantry and the hillside.

After scolding his son for a while, Busu began to complain about his nephew Bili again.

The bastard left with eight hundred brute soldiers, saying that he was going to cross the river from the upper reaches and go around to the rear of the Han soldiers to rob the camp at night, and now the devil knows where he went.

The eight hundred barbarian soldiers who were taken away were the elite of the elite, and they were the personal soldiers of the great ghost master of the hundred barbarian capitals!

At the moment, there is a need for elite defense, but the elite is no longer on the battlefield.

"Puff puff!"

Dozens of leveling cannons, all of which had been assembled, were projected towards the center of the barbarian village in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops crossing the river.

Because they are all light return guns, they don't cause much damage, and they were projected for half a day before, and they didn't even collapse the low wall. But the psychological pressure brought to the barbarians is extremely great, and it has caused a large area of panic.

The previous persuasion of discord and surrender worked, and the enemy army from the two forest barbarians was usually oppressed by the Qiongbu River barbarians, and before the war, they also transferred their ghost masters away, and scattered among the Qiongbu River soldiers.

At this moment, seeing the Han soldiers crossing the river, there were stone bullets flying overhead, and their ghost master was not around, and these barbarians from the two forests directly picked on. They abandoned their positions, some even threw away their weapons, and more and more people turned and fled.

Li Bao crouched in the boat, raising his shield to resist sporadic arrows, and the people behind him were rowing desperately.

The river is a few meters wide, and it reaches the shore in a blink of an eye.

Li Bao threw away his shield, raised his spear, and rushed forward, jumping over the narrow trench and beyond the low wall. The soldiers of the two forest tribes defending here have fled, and the Qiongbu Sichuan barbarians are urgently transferred to fill the position.

Li Bao turned over and climbed the low wall, and was hit by two arrows in an instant.

He ignored the pain and stabbed one person to death. Then he went to the defenders on the nearby low wall, and he actually killed a gap alone, so that his soldiers could calmly climb the low wall.

There were more and more soldiers crossing the river, and even the barbarians who surrendered along the way were all fighting to kill under the leadership of the ghost master.

For example, the first to surrender the big ghost lord drive Mang, this product is the nephew of the great ghost lord of the hundred barbarian capital, and it is also the nephew of the big ghost lord of this village. He originally planned to act at the opportune moment, so that he could fight back again at a critical time, but now he led his troops to charge forward, because he felt that the Han soldiers would definitely win.

The kind of machine that can throw stones is too terrifying, and there are 100,000 Han soldiers coming behind it, and Qiongbu Chuanman can't stop it.

"Become a small three-talent formation, attack the village!"

Guan Sheng's side only rested for a few minutes, and when he heard that the frontal battlefield was lively, he also began to organize an attack from the side.

"Driving Mang, how did you vote for the Han people?" A little ghost lord shouted.

The expulsion had already led the troops to kill on the low wall, and the people who met in front were actually acquaintances, and the soldiers on both sides also knew each other, and they had a very tacit understanding to stop fighting.

Qi Mang said: "The Han soldiers still have 100,000 troops, you also surrender quickly, there will definitely be a reward!" You are just a little ghost master now, and you can become a big ghost master by helping the Han people fight. ”

The little ghost master didn't think much about it, so he turned his spearhead and killed the friendly troops in the nearby position, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Kill Su, kill Su!" ”

The friendly forces defected, and the nearby barbarians were instantly routed.

Li Bao's side also took advantage of the gap in defense and had already led his troops to rush over the low wall.

Bu Su personally led an elite reserve team to come to the rescue, and a stone bullet fell, killing one person on the spot, and the stone bullet rolled and injured two people.

In the center of the village, stones are constantly falling to the ground, most of which hit the buildings. The barbarians did not die, but a large number of houses were smashed.

The barbarians fear ghosts and gods, and when they encounter important things, they must sacrifice ghosts for divination.

At this moment, in the face of an incomprehensible phenomenon, they thought that the ghosts and gods were angry, and the Han people were blessed by the ghosts and gods. One by one, they were frightened, but they did not move forward when they received orders. Even the pro-soldiers of the Supplemental Union, after being stoned to death, began to flee sporadically.

The ghost lord of Lianglin was forced to separate from his own people before.

At this moment, they sought an opportunity to leave the battlefield, gathered the troops who had already fled, gathered hundreds of people, and suddenly ran to attack the pillbox in the center of the village.

This was their chance, and they were forced to surrender to Qiongbu Chuan for several years, and they have been discriminated against and suppressed. Now that the Han soldiers are coming, they only need to fight back, and they can be truly independent and free.

Busu was already at a loss, many low walls in front of him were broken through, and the flanks were also facing attacks, and the empty bunkers behind him were attacked by Erwuzai.

There were still hundreds of elite reserves around Busu, and he ordered in a panic: "Withdraw to the mountains!" ”

The most elite hundreds of brute soldiers ran away like this. livestock, grain, women and children...... I didn't care about it all, and I ran into the mountains in a swarm.

Those anti-water Lianglin barbarians did not dare to intercept them, for fear of fighting with the elite of the Su.

Busu fled at full speed with his son, he planned to hide in the mountains and gather the warriors of the small tribes in the mountains, how could he regather one or two thousand troops. When Tho's large army comes, they can join forces to counterattack.

Even if they fail, they can still find an opportunity to escape, take the elite to the southeast, and seize the territory and population of those small tribes.

All barbarians are respected by strength, as long as they still have elite soldiers, they have the opportunity to make a comeback.

The elite main force of the replenishment of the Soviet Union fled, which immediately triggered a collapse on the entire front.

Deng Chun led the cavalry into the village, ignoring those who surrendered on their knees, only chasing those who were still fleeing, and smashed them down with an iron shovel when they caught up.

"The battle is decided!" Yuwen often smiled.

Zhu Ming said: "There are too many barbarians who have defected, and this battle is too easy. ”

Clear the battlefield, calculate battle damage and gains.

8 people were killed, 4 were seriously wounded, and nearly 100 were slightly wounded.

Minfu lost 22 people, seriously wounded 1 person, and slightly wounded nearly 100.

The barbarians who returned along the way were 9 killed, 3 seriously wounded, and nearly 100 lightly wounded.

The main casualties came from the enemy's bows and arrows, and the armor on the Han soldiers' side was really bad.

In this battle, 552 barbarians were killed, more than 800 barbarians defected, more than 4,000 barbarians (including the old and weak, women and children) were captured, and many barbarians fled into the mountains.

The intensity of the battle was actually not high, and most of the brutes who were killed were hacked to death while fleeing.

There are several bunkers in the village, stacked with a large amount of grain, which is the biggest receiving.

"Taishou, county honor, caught a thief chief, I heard that it is the son of Busu." The Xiang army commanded Yu Dian and escorted A Teng, who was covered in blood, over.

Yu Dian is a native of Lizhou, in his forties, and was seconded to other places to quell the rebellion, and this battle was also fought extremely bravely.

Yuwen often nodded in approval: "The general fought bravely, and I heard that he also made military exploits when he pacified Lunanyi." After this battle, I will definitely take credit for the general. ”

"Thank you Taishou!" Yu Dian rejoiced in his heart.

He was first transferred to Luzhou to quell the rebellion, and then to Maozhou, and he made many meritorious contributions but did not get anything, and the credit was robbed.

hasn't reasoned yet, who let him have no background backer?

Zhu Ming said: "Brother Quan Ke arranged for the people to carry the baggage and move all the military funds of the battalion to the village. I went into the village to receive the prisoners, selected some young and strong barbarians, and let those ghost masters who defected lead the troops, so that the strength of our army could be greatly increased. ”

"Then we'll work together." Yuwen often smiled.

Tho Meng's son Lili led 800 elites and was still detouring.

He was afraid of being discovered by the Han army, so he crossed the river a few miles upstream, and had to go around the mountains until nightfall, so that he could go around the back of the Han barracks at night.

Bili never dreamed that with this little effort of his detour, the village of Busu was actually breached.

Even if you don't do anything, send the old and weak women and children into the mountains, and only let the elite garrison the bunker, you can hold on for several days!
