Chapter 612
, is chatting and singing with great interest.
A veteran soldier stood by the bonfire and said impassionedly to the Han soldiers around him: "This place is only a hundred miles away from Yanran Mountain, and Tianshan Mountain is actually the remaining vein of Yanran Mountain. When my Han general Dou led the troops to defeat the Huns at the foot of Jiluo Mountain, killed the Northern Huns and abandoned their armor, even the Hun king was killed, and finally ran thousands of miles to the Yanran Mountain to remember the merits, General Dou returned to Beijing to meet the first emperor when he said, "Those who commit strong men, although far away will be punished!", his bold words still make people's blood boil. Brothers, this time we are following Wei Gong to fight against the Xianbei alien race, and after defeating the enemy army, we will also ask General Zhao to take us to Yanran Mountain to record our merits, do you think it's okay?"
"Good!"
The crowd applauded and cheered.
Burst!
Gongsun Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This veteran is really capable, and he actually imposed Chen Tang's arrogance on Dou Xian's body.
"Wei Gong!"
There was a shout behind him.
Gongsun Bai slowly turned his head: "Master, generals." ”
It was Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and other generals who came
Zhao Yun said with concern: "Gong Wei has been running around for days, and he has injured his daughter, so he needs to rest early." ”
Gongsun Bai looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Does Master think there is something strange about this matter?"
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "I waited for thousands of miles, but we only encountered a few horse thieves and a small group of Xianbei soldiers along the way. It is unbelievable that the Xianbei army ignored the arrival of our army. ”
Gongsun Bai nodded and said.
Tai Shi Ci on the side also looked serious, and said urgently: "This must be a huge conspiracy, Duke Wei must be cautious." According to this reasoning, Kebineng must have ambushed us on the way. ”
Gongsun Bai was still silent, and looked at Guo Jia again.
"Tien Shan. Guo Jia said slowly, "The grassland is vast, there is no shelter, now Wei Gong is leading a large army to come, the army is not weaker than the Xianbei people, how can Kebi stop it? I checked the terrain around Longcheng, only the Tianshan Mountains can be ambushed, so before arriving at the Tianshan Mountains tomorrow, I must let Wuliji carefully investigate clearly." ”
......
The Tianshan Mountains, the remnants of Yanran Mountain, although much shorter than the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, are the highest mountains that the Han army has seen on the grassland in the past month.
The mountains are reckless, and there is only one mountain road running through it, and this mountain road is also the only way to pass through the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise you have to bypass the mountains for hundreds of miles, and then cross hundreds of miles of desert to reach Dragon City. No one will go far and near, let alone the extreme lack of water in the desert, and the sandstorms, which are extremely dangerous, and people who are not driven crazy will not go there.
Gongsun Bai naturally can't take a detour, heavy snow is coming, and if he makes a detour through the desert, time may not be in time.
Wuliji rose to the sky, went straight to the Tianshan Mountain, soared in the sky on both sides of the mountain road, and let out a chirp from time to time.
The jade belt carving can clearly see a rabbit on the ground at an altitude of thousands of meters, and the Xianbei soldiers who are ambushed in the Tianshan Mountains must not be a few, and it is impossible to hide under the sharp eyes of Uliji.
Woo~
Wu Liji only circled over the Tianshan Mountains for a while, immediately shouted, spread his wings and returned, and kept chirping on Gongsun Bai's head, his voice was extremely high and eager.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush, and there are no less than 10,000 people!" Gongsun Bai said with a change of face.
Gongsun Bai and the generals also looked solemn, the Tianshan Road was narrow, and even if more than 50,000 iron horsemen relied on the benefits of the crossbow to force their way in, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Zhao Yun frowned and said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to select a team of brave men, bring a repeating crossbow, and be led by a fierce general to climb the Tianshan Mountain and destroy the enemy of the Tianshan Mountain." Although the Tianshan Mountain is steep, it is much weaker than the mountain of the Central Plains.
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Although the Tianshan Mountains are not as good as the mountains of China, they are also extremely steep, and the enemy army will inevitably wait for them in deep ditches and high trenches. These 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers are all the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, how can they be wasted so easily. ”
Everyone was silent, and they didn't care for a while.
But he heard the horse thief who led the way on the side say, "The little one has a plan to get around here." ”
Gongsun Bai's expression moved, and he asked suspiciously, "Could it be crossing the desert?"
The horse thief nodded, looked at him firmly, and said, "The little one once crossed this desert in the past, and he knows the truth in the desert. We only need to walk along the edge of the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and the risk will be greatly reduced, and the army can pass safely. ”
Gongsun Bai looked overjoyed, grabbed him fiercely and said, "Good boy, if this move is successful, Lao Tzu will make you a military marquis!"
Zhao Yun said urgently: "The desert next to the mountain, hundreds of miles away, there is no water source to replenish, and there is the danger of sandstorms, is it too dangerous? I heard that the sandstorms in the desert can bury tens of thousands of people at the bottom of the sand without leaving a trace, and I hope that Wei Gong will think twice." ”
Gongsun Bai's heart suddenly remembered the spectacular and terrifying scenes of the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
After careful consideration, he finally felt that there was no other way, so he stretched out his hand and waved: "Reserve drinking water immediately, and cross the desert tomorrow!"
......
On one side is the reckless Tianshan Mountains, and on the other side is the vast desert.
More than 50,000 troops meandered along the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains.
The yellow sand is reckless, and the sun shines on the sand grains with a dazzling light, but there is no temperature.
At this time, it is the cold winter time, and it is very cold to hunt in the wind.
The crowd was wearing cotton robes, and they were not very afraid of the cold, and they galloped along the foot of the mountain all the way, but their bodies were a little hot.
However, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the air around was getting colder, and the cold wind was blowing on the face like a knife.
As night fell, the people found a shelter at the foot of the mountain, and the army set up camp on the spot.
The deeper the night, the heavier the chill.
Fortunately, the advantage of walking along the foot of the mountain is that you can go up the mountain to cut wood for firewood, and piles of bonfires are built at the bottom of the mountain. The soldiers drank wine and sang songs, but unfortunately because of the lack of water, they had to eat dry food.
The yellow sand along the way, a withered yellow color finally appeared at the place where heaven and earth met, and all the soldiers couldn't help cheering.
The five- or six-day journey to the desert was really difficult. Not only was it cold at night, but there was also a lack of water on the way, and especially the terrible sandstorm, if they hadn't walked along the foot of the mountain, they would have been buried in the sandstorm.
The army found a stream of water in the meadow at the edge of the desert, and after a while of drinking and resting, they continued their mighty march towards Dragon City.
Gongsun Bai sent several teams of scouts to travel more than ten miles, looking for the Xianbei people's sentry and killing them, but Kebi Neng became a frightened bird earlier, and there were too many sentry sentry, and there were still many fish that slipped through the net and returned to Benlong City to report the news.
More than 50,000 troops came from the vast dàngdàng, although they were all fine horses, but Gongsun Bai controlled the speed of the horses not too fast. Now that the news has been leaked, it is necessary to save horsepower for the next big battle, rather than expending horsepower on the way to the attack.
When he was thirty miles away from Dragon City, a scout flew Pegasus to report.
The Xianbei army is coming to meet you!(To be continued.) )
Chapter 333 is vulnerable
A black line faintly appeared in the place where the dead grass covered the sky, and the black line became thicker and thicker, gradually emerging into a dark cloud, galloping towards it.
"Fight the enemy!"
With Zhao Yun's loud shouts and the handsome flag dancing, the Han army stopped abruptly, quickly and neatly formed a formation, and prepared to face the battle.
The oncoming enemy army was overwhelming, several times larger than the Han army, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least 100,000 troops. The Xianbei people really deserved to be the overlords of the grassland, and in a hurry, they organized an army of 100,000 people.
Gongsun Bai sighed lightly, this is probably to catch more than eighty percent of the Xianbei people, after this battle, the Xianbei people may not be able to recover within twenty years, of course, he can't give the Xianbei people twenty years to recover.
The sound of horses' hooves shook the entire grassland ground like rolling thunder.
In the face of an enemy army twice their size, the Han army did not have the slightest fear, and even showed sympathy and pity in their eyes. Even Zhao Yun and other generals couldn't help but shake their heads.
The crossbow has always been an artifact to restrain the cavalry, not to mention the Gongsun Army, which has the strongest crossbow in the world.
The enemy army in front of him soon surged and roared like a rolling wave.
The first one, riding a high-headed horse with a black body, holding a long knife in his hand, galloped in front of the army, and looked extremely brave.
This is Kebi Neng.
"Raise a crossbow!" Zhao Yun shouted.
One by one, the big yellow crossbows were raised high and aimed at the incoming enemy.
Kebineng on the other side was even more enemies when he saw each other, his eyes were red, looking at the old enemy who was sitting on the sweaty BMW at the high end, he was so hated that his eyes were split, and he saw him waving his long knife and shouting loudly.
Behind him, one after another large shields were raised high, as if building a moving barrier, and continued to gallop towards the Han army.
The general's face changed slightly.
Gongsun Bai smiled faintly: "But the front army has thousands of shields, and the back is empty, no matter how thick the leather shield is, it will be worn with a few more arrows, so there is no need to be afraid." ”
He sat on top of the flying blood of the divine steed, a head taller than the average mount, and naturally saw farther and more real than others.
Seeing that the Xianbei army had galloped to more than 200 steps away from the Han army, Kebineng raised his long sword and shouted loudly, and the Xianbei cavalry behind him suddenly accelerated and rushed quickly, meaning that he used the momentum to quickly attack the Han formation.
The number of Xianbei troops is twice that of the Han army, once they fight a white-knuckle battle in close quarters, it is a huge threat after all, killing a thousand enemies, not to mention self-loss of 800, even if they lose 100, Gongsun Bai will be distressed.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Yun shouted.
Woohoo!
The rain of arrows in the sky with strong force came out, and the sound of breaking the sky was endless, and the oncoming enemy army was fierce.
Tuk tuk!
A sharp arrow **** on the giant shield of the Xianbei former army, fierce chā in the cowhide on the big shield, the arrow body whined and trembled.
Although the crossbow arrows were strong, they could only break through the shield, but could not break the big shield, and the Xianbei cavalry behind the shield was safe and sound.
A burst of cheers shook the sky, and the morale of the Xianbei army was greatly boosted, and they screamed and rushed in.
The three-layered cowhide shield was not covered.
Ke Bineng was even more energetic, raised his long knife high, and shouted loudly: "Step through the Han camp and capture Gongsun Bai alive!"
The cavalry of the Xianbei army responded like thunder.
"Break through the Han camp and capture Gongsun Bai alive!"
"Break through the Han camp and capture Gongsun Bai alive!"
"Break through the Han camp and capture Gongsun Bai alive!"
......
The Xianbei army, as if beaten with chicken blood, struggled to clamp the horse's belly and pounced like an arrow off the string.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
The rain of arrows is still ****, wave after wave, endlessly.
Poof!
Yes......
A large shield was shattered and fell to the ground after being hit by the third arrow, and then the cavalry holding the shield was smashed into the heart by a crossbow arrow, screaming and falling from his horse.
As the distance got closer and closer, the force of the crossbow arrows on the shield became stronger and stronger, and the large shields shattered one by one, and the Xianbei cavalry screamed and turned over and fell off their horses.
Among the more than 50,000 Han troops, there are more than 50,000 large yellow crossbows, which are divided into three rows and can shè more than 50,000 sharp arrows at a time, while the Xianbei front army is only a few thousand large shields, which are soon broken one after another.
More than 100,000 Xianbei cavalrymen were bathed in the rain of arrows of the Han army, and they fell down with screams, and they were forcibly blocked a hundred steps away, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded.
The Han army changed to repeating crossbows in turn, although the crossbow arrows were not as strong as before, but the rain of arrows was endless, sweeping shè towards the Xianbei people like a continuous bead, and the crazy shè speed made the Xianbei people completely desperate.
Kebineng swung his sword to block the rain of arrows, and at the same time looked desperately at the Xianbei cavalry beside him, who were constantly falling, and shouted hysterically: "Retreat!
The Xianbei army, which was originally rushing at high speed, was in an uproar, and they turned their horses' heads and retreated sharply, squeezing out many people in a hurry, and they were trampled by the chaotic horses as ròu sauce.
The rain of arrows behind him still poured down.
This absurd battle ended comically, and the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry did not even touch the hair of the Han army, so they left more than 10,000 corpses and fled in a hurry.
"Chase!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou and others shouted loudly, and the hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry horses sounded like drums, and Hao Hao followed behind the ass of the Xianbei people.
The 50,000 Han army iron cavalry had already jumped to the test, and after hearing the order, they immediately let out a heaven-shattering shouting and killing sound, and the momentum was like a rainbow, urging the horses under the crotch to rush towards the Xianbei army like a rolling torrent.
I saw a torrent of steel pouring into the scattered military formation of the Xianbei people. Every time the wave hits, the scattered formation formed by more than 100,000 Xianbei horsemen will dissolve by a point. This torrent of steel moved forward unstoppably, and what remained behind them was a bloody mess! In this short moment, I don't know how many elite soldiers and fierce generals of the Xianbei Army were drowned in this torrent!
Kebi could fantasize about fighting the Han army head-on with superior forces, only to find that even if it was a frontal attack, the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei people was really too far behind, and this time he deeply felt helplessness and despair.
The banner danced, the Xianbei cavalry retreated sharply in the direction of Longcheng like a tide, and the crossbow arrows of the Han army behind them were like rain, and the iron cavalry was like a cloud, and they were fiercely pursued.
Gongsun Bai looked at the Xianbei soldiers who fled in defeat, his face sank like water, and he was even a little lonely.
"At this time, the grassland Hu cavalry, even if the stirrups were installed in advance, were so vulnerable, I don't know how strong the Jurchens and Mongolians in history were, and whether they could fight with my iron cavalry?"
The Xianbei army that conquered the territory of thousands of miles has declined, and I hope that because of the wheel of history that has been interfered with by its own appearance, the Wuhu who rebelled in China, the Liaojin who insulted the Song Dynasty, and the Mongolian people who invaded the whole territory of China will not appear again.
......
The 100,000 Xianbei army rushed straight to Dragon City like a lost dog, leaving behind stumps and broken armor, as well as countless horses that had lost their owners and ran around in mourning.
The general trend has gone, and the Xianbei people have only one thought - to quickly enter the city and flee for their lives, and there is no other thought. Occasionally, a few brave men wanted to turn back and fight, but they were drowned in the torrent of Han cavalry that was rolling and chasing, and there were no bones.
The gate of Longcheng was wide open, and countless Xianbei soldiers desperately squeezed in, and many people were squeezed off their horses, and then trampled into ròu mud, and the crying at the door shook the sky.
However, how did the narrow city gate squeeze into the 100,000 army for a while, the front army only entered 10,000 or 20,000, and the rear army was still outside, but the Han army was already chasing after it like countless messengers.
"The Han army is only 50,000 horsemen, the whole army turns back to attack and fights with the Han army, otherwise we will all die here!"
A Xianbei fierce general turned his horse's head, jumped out with a sword, and shouted at the rebels.
It's a machine!
But even though he roared like thunder, the chaotic army drowned his voice in the noise, and only the thousands of brave men around him responded to follow.
"Kill!"
With a wave of his sword, he led thousands of soldiers and horses to kill the Han army that was chasing after him.
Yan Liang urged the red dragon horse to roar out like lightning, and the double iron spears went straight to the machine, and countless sons and daughters followed closely behind him.
Woohoo!
The Xianbei cavalry behind the fuselage were shot and fell off their horses one after another, but they still moved forward with the emerging.
Seeing Yan Liang coming with a horse, his eyes breathed fire, and he danced the big knife in his hand and flew away.
Bang!
The sword and spear are jiāo, and the big knife is shaken into the air by the iron spear and falls to the ground. Even with people and horses, he retreated dozens of steps, and his body swayed non-stop.
Burst!
Without waiting for the machine to sit down, Yan Liang took advantage of the momentum of the red dragon horse to rush past the machine, and with a wave of the iron spear, a big head flew out and fell on the grass.
Thousands of Xianbei soldiers who were not afraid of death stubbornly blocked the footsteps of 50,000 Han cavalry to rush and kill, winning a period of time for the Xianbei army to enter the city, and 70,000 or 80,000 Xianbei cavalry had entered the city
