When the sky was faint, the camp was already full of the smell of food.

Last year's Chen Su had already finished eating, and now the army is carrying the noodles that Danshan, Kinmen, and Yunzhong Sanwu had only grinded with the strength of the boss.

Xu knew that there was a big battle today, and the auxiliaries made steamed cakes.

Steamed cakes should be made with pig paste to be fragrant. But when you are out on the march, how can you have this condition? It's okay to make do with the horse paste.

Of course, horses are generally lean and have very little fat. The two hundred dead horses didn't scrape much oil, so they made do with it, so that everyone could smell the aroma.

Two steamed cakes per person, a bowl of broth, and a little pickles, everyone ate happily.

Wang Yan patrolled left and right, watching the auxiliary soldiers deliver baskets of steamed cakes to the soldiers, and then sat down, ate a mouthful of steamed cakes, and took a bite of pickles.

The big war was imminent, but he couldn't feel any tension anymore.

Numb, really.

When he was in the Hebei Army a few years ago, he was surrounded by cavalry in the wilderness, which was unimaginable.

In the end, it seems that Ma Long has done it.

The Duke of Luyang County repeated Ma Xiping's feat, and more than once.

The Silver Spear Army is really a good soldier, the longest has been in service for five or six years, and has seen countless battles.

A spear of the most ordinary kind, when you temper it, it is no longer ordinary.

Holding it in his hand as if it were life, with a step forward, armpits, knees, necks, and faces, where the armor can't cover it, it can drill into it, as fast as lightning.

Some veterans of the Silver Spear Army will even show off their flaws when playing with their spears, and there are very complicated tricks such as assassination over the top.

They also shoot arrows.

At close range, it is not a problem to shoot a pot full of thirty arrows.

When you're a little farther away, it's okay to shoot a dozen shots.

During the battle, it was normal for them to shoot three or five arrows and then fight with a spear.

With the Silver Spear Army, only the loyal army and the righteous army can be obedient.

They are the cornerstone of the Shaw Brothers, the force at the bottom of the box.

Today's most capable four or five thousand silver spear troops are gathered here, and there are five hundred trapped-in soldiers and more than a thousand horsemen, who want to fight a decisive battle with several times their thieves.

Even if you die today, you will die in battle with several times the thief army, fuck it!

The first drum of "Knock Knock Knock ......" sounded.

The auxiliaries immediately went into action, and several empty grain trucks were first dragged to the river.

With a chorus of shouts, the grain truck was dragged directly into the riverbed. In the year of the great drought, the water is shallow in winter, and the stream cannot completely submerge it.

Soon, a second car was towed......

Other auxiliaries filled empty grain bags with sand and placed them inside the carriages to stabilize their positions.

The Hun rangers on the opposite side were dumbfounded.

They were still thinking yesterday, although the stream is not wide or deep, but under their gaze, it is not so easy to build a pontoon bridge.

Moreover, the pontoon bridge is narrow, and there are not many people passing at one time, so they will have many ways to intercept it, charging in columns, shooting around, etc., and the Jin people will pay a huge price for casualties.

More than a dozen ballistas were moved to the banks of the river by the shouting auxiliaries.

The Hun cavalry on the other side seemed to see the plague god, and hurriedly turned their horses and walked away.

The auxiliaries gave them a contemptuous look and laughed.

"Woo-" the horn sounded.

Dozens of thick crossbow bolts were fired at the opposite bank, and some of the Hun cavalrymen who had time to leave in the future flipped on their backs.

Some people are lucky, but the horse is pierced by a crossbow arrow, and after the person falls, he can still leave.

Some people were not so lucky, and they were directly taken out. And their tragic situation made more Hun cavalry leave on horseback and line up in the distance.

Grain trucks were filled into the riverbed.

The inside of the carriage is made of sandbags and soil, and the water flow is not large, so it is very stable and there is no risk of being washed away.

Soon, most of the stream was cut off, and the downstream water was suddenly shallow, and the riverbed was directly exposed in many places.

More sandbags were brought over, as well as door panels, wood, reeds, etc., whatever was the use, and laid directly into the riverbed.

"Knock knock knock ......" the second drum sounded.

The neatly draped Jin San waded over with the first 600 people of the Silver Spear Army.

It was followed by the 500 soldiers led by Chang Cang.

More than 1,000 soldiers waded through the ankle-deep water, passed quickly, and lined up on the east bank of the river.

......The sound of dense horse hooves sounded, and the Huns could not wait any longer, so they were anxious and charged directly, trying to drive down the group of people who had just crossed the river.

More than 1,000 infantry made an inverted V-shape.

The outer shield and spear are erected.

The soldiers inside came with a salvo of bows.

Casualties were incurred during the cavalry charge.

It was nothing for the knight to fall off his horse, but the most troublesome thing was that the horse was hit by an arrow, forming an obstacle, making the follow-up cavalry hurriedly circulate, and the whole queue became a little scattered.

It stands to reason that the Hun cavalry should not charge hard, how to shoot with a bow and a crossbow?

In the process of charging, before entering the range of the riding bow, it had already made people "prostitute" a round of arrows.

But they can't help it.

Let people smoothly cross the river and establish a forward position, and the generals will still be alive after they go back? I can only fight.

After entering the range of the cavalry bow, the Hun cavalry divided into two groups from the middle, each shooting arrows around the Jin army's foot soldiers.

The arrows burst through the air, some of them landed on the large shields raised high in the front row, and some of them fell into the formation with a clanging sound.

The protective ability of the iron armor is still very strong, except for a very few unlucky ghosts who were shot in unprotected parts and let out a muffled scream, most of the arrows were blocked by the helmet and cuirass.

The Jin army's counterattack soon came.

The rate of fire of the crossbow was too slow, and the infantry of the Silver Spear Army came with another volley.

Nearly 400 arrows from the bow fell far away among the Hun cavalry, even if they were scattered very far away, and in rapid movement, the screams were still endless, and those who fell off their horses abounded.

The Huns quickly turned their horses' heads, went around into the distance, and returned to their own formation.

A second group of cavalry rushed from the front, still riding around.

Perhaps seeing that the Huns did not send melee cavalry, or perhaps despising their combat effectiveness, Jin San directly ordered a change of formation.

The infantry spread out a little more, less densely packed than before, to reduce the damage of riding bows.

After loading the crossbow arrows, the government soldiers shot a round from afar, and the Hun cavalry turned on their backs.

The archers followed, their arrows like flying locusts, killing and wounding many.

As usual, the Huns went around the flanks of the inverted V formation and rode around.

Xu sent a large number of people, and this time their results were slightly greater, probably defeating more than ten Jin soldiers, but their own losses were also greatly magnified.

Such a confrontation is a real loss!

So they quickly retreated, and the battlefield calmed down for a while.

The wounded soldier lay on the ground, wailing.

The wounded horse was lying on its side, with large teardrops streaming from its eyes.

Another silver-speared sergeant crossed the river without incident, and the auxiliaries even brought some horses over.

Jin San once again ordered to change the formation, and threw some antlers brought by the auxiliaries around the large formation to prevent the Hun cavalry from rushing directly into the infantry formation.

They were never afraid of shooting.

******

On the west bank of the stream, the Huns, who had realized it later, finally launched an attack.

But in the face of the camp composed of vans, baggage carts and wooden fences, the cavalry could not charge, so they had to change to infantry.

Shao Xun, who was standing on a high place and watching the thief's situation, was a little surprised, the Huns actually transferred infantry? I really want to take him!

If he had known that they had a large number of infantry, he would not have chosen to cross the river today, but would have relied on a simple camp on the west bank to fight the Huns.

But it was not too late, and he ordered some of his auxiliaries to find a way to tow some vehicles across the river to help stabilize the position on the opposite bank.

If you have the chance, dig some more traps.

Vehicles, antlers, horse rejection, horse pits, these things are there, and there will be basically no problems on the other side.

Come on, let's fight, let Lao Tzu see if Liu Cong has any infantry that can fight?

The result was a little disappointing for him.

The Han infantry was loose and sloppy during the charge, and after being shot by the ballista for a few rounds, some of them hesitated a little, and some continued to move forward, and the formation suddenly loosened.

"Buzz ......" The infantry of the Silver Spear Army who remained on the west bank of the river came with a salvo.

Unfortunately, the Han infantry was poorly equipped.

The arrows shot by the bow were like a wind sweeping through the grass, and a large area was swept down in an instant.

Some people had already turned and fled, but they were soon rushed up by the Hun cavalry and slashed and killed, forcing them to continue forward.

Finally someone rushed to the vicinity of the camp.

"Kill!" Wang Qi'er, the deputy governor of the Silver Spear Army, leaped forward, and the spear stabbed out like lightning, killing two people in succession.

The others did the same, hardly without greeting, the spears were as fast as dragons, and the Hun infantry outside the chariot formation fell one by one.

Occasionally, a few strong men, wielding blunt weapons, swept and beat the silver-speared sergeant to the point that he vomited blood from his mouth and nose, fell under the car, and was quickly stabbed to death.

Shao Xun got off the high platform, took his bow, and walked leisurely.

The distance is too close, the bow does not need to be full, and a gentle shot of an arrow can often be exchanged for a scream.

When a pot of thirty arrows was fired, the thief army finally couldn't hold on, left hundreds of corpses, and retreated in a hurry.

"Knock knock knock ......" drum sounds.

Three gaps were opened in the camp, and Duan Xiong rushed out with nearly 1,000 cavalry to chase and defeat the enemy.

The Hun cavalry immediately moved and tried to intercept it.

Duan Liang immediately rode out with more than 100 armored horses and attacked the Xiongnu light cavalry.

There is hardly any suspense in the battle.

Shao Xun climbed the high platform again, and his eyes turned to the east bank of the stream.

In the endless smoke and dust, the Huns launched a new round of charge.

Some of the cavalry rushed to the front, performing their best horse archery skills, circling the antlers, facing casualties, and occasionally firing an arrow.

Behind them, a full 3,000 Hun cavalry dismounted in unison, brandished a mess of weapons, and rushed towards the antlers and the large array of horses.

Obviously, this is unwilling to let Shao Jun cross the river easily.

Yes, the east and west banks are attacking together, there are both foot and horse, surrounded on all sides, and then let Shao Xun easily cross the river, where will the big man's face go?

Without the price of blood, it is impossible for either side to stop.

The stream flowed quietly, as if it were not water, but blood.
