Chapter 534: Despair

The battlefield is a stage of blood and fire, and without experiencing this kind of blood and fire, even after years of training, the army will not be able to reach the level required by actual combat.

But it only took Cao Liang two or three months to train a team of recruits who didn't know anything into an iron-blooded hero, even if it was a strong Hun cavalry, they dared to face the battle.

If it was changed to before, let alone confronting the cavalry head-on, even if he heard the voice of the Hungarian cavalry, he was extremely frightened, let alone picking up arms to fight.

In the eyes of others, Cao Liang's behavior is to take risks, joking with these thousands of lives, in their opinion, recruits are recruits after all, how can they be enlightened after a few battles, and even qualified to compete head-on with the Hun cavalry.

In their opinion, this is the truth, and Cao Liang lives in fantasy forever.

But Cao Liang proved to the world that a team composed of almost new recruits has the strength to counterattack, and under the baptism of blood and fire, their growth speed is absolutely unprecedented.

In order to fight their way out, the Huns' attack was almost a suicidal frenzied attack, and they attacked the Wei army's defensive front on the top of Laoye Ridge again and again, and this attack was completely at any cost.

Riding horses can not avoid the rolling logs, so the Huns' attack is basically based on infantry, although leaving the war horses, but the Huns' strong physique, brave and mighty fighting spirit has not weakened at all, they use tenacious will, again and again to impact the Wei army position, the battle is very stalemate, but also very fierce.

In order to block the attack of the Huns, the soldiers of the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion also showed fearless courage, and they swore to hold their positions to the death, especially the soldiers of the infantry battalion, who held their positions with iron and bloody will, and did not retreat, and the Huns' attacks again and again were wiped out.

At the most intense time, the two sides entered into hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers on both sides refused to back down half a step, fighting with all their might, and the whole hilltop was full of corpses.

Compared with the infantry battalion, the Shooting Battalion was relatively safe, with the infantry battalion in front, they built a barrier to cut off the contact between the Shooting Battalion and the Huns.

If we talk about the combat effectiveness of hand-to-hand combat, the archery battalion is definitely insufficient, and the bow and crossbow weapons they are equipped with can only be used for long-range combat, and once they fall into hand-to-hand combat, the combat effectiveness of the archers will be completely lost.

After several battles, the Pingbei Army's ability to coordinate and cooperate with each other has been significantly improved, and the pikemen, as the first line of defense on the infantry battle array, give the crossbowmen strong protection, as long as the pikemen are still alive, it is difficult for the enemy to cross them, and the crossbowmen will be injured.

The crossbow soldier provides long-range protection for the pikemen, and this kind of interdependent relationship must be based on tacit cooperation and complementarity, so as to form effective combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, the Huns were completely a rabble, although they fought bravely, but they hardly saw any cooperation, and often rampage with their own strength, such combat efficiency was actually greatly reduced.

However, this is already a habit of the Huns, when they ride on horses, they are completely free of themselves, believing in the reins of the horse, of course, it is impossible to expect them to abandon their horses and fight with their comrades when they fight, so the Huns' attack is always based on individual soldiers, each fighting for itself.

What's more, in order to boost morale, Liu Bao offered a huge reward, and the first Hun soldier to break through the Wei army's defense line will receive an incomparably rich reward, this reward is so much that a person can easily live a lifetime while lying there without moving.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, this is not true, since Liu Bao issued a huge reward, the Hun soldiers are even more red-eyed, screaming, desperate to rush forward.

Due to the limited number of rewards, all the Hun soldiers not only had to fight with the Wei army, but more importantly, they had to fight with the Huns' own people, who also wanted to be in the first place, and were not willing to be left behind.

The narrow roads and steep terrain made the Huns' attack very difficult, but under the stimulation of huge bounties, the Huns' attack was still a crowd tactic.

Rolling wood is already exhausted, after all, cutting down a tree is not a good errand, it takes a lot of effort to cut down a tree, and throwing this tree is very easy.

Liu Bao saw that the Wei army could no longer throw out the rolling logs, and couldn't help but be surprised on the ground, indeed in the previous battle, the Wei army's rolling wood offensive made many Hun soldiers avoid it, which seriously affected the efficiency of their attack.

At this moment, the Xiongnu army swarmed up, and the Wei army no longer used rolling logs, and after reducing a large killing weapon, the Huns could invest more troops and carry out saturation attacks.

What is a saturation attack, simply put, is that on this road with a width of only a few zhang, there is no room for any extra people. Liu Bao was completely pinning his hopes on this final attack, no matter what, he must also fight his way out, and he must not let the battle drag on any longer.

The battle on the top of the mountain has entered a white-hot stage, and the entire mountain road is almost paved with corpses, and the attack of the Huns is completely trampling on these corpses. But when they pounce on them, they will eventually turn into corpses and become stepping stones for others.

Cao Liang used the repeater crossbow song, which is probably one of the few hole cards in his hand. However, the repeater was still like the first battle, which seemed to reassure the Wei army.

The dense rain of arrows formed a death fan, and there was little choice, because there were cliffs on both sides, so there was no way to dodge from the cliff except to carry it with a shield.

More Hun soldiers fell, if the harvest of wheat is the same, the Wei army easily harvests life, but also harvests Liu Bao's hope, seeing that the sky is approaching, and if you can't take Lao Yeling, there will be no chance today.

It's a pity that the Huns have already tried their best to escape from the top of the mountain, and the soldiers who have escaped from the top of the mountain have been sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, and have experienced the same fierce battle as the ghost gate, even if the reward is high, it is difficult to make them interested anymore.

The entire Lao Ye Ridge has become a Shura field, and in addition to bloody killings, there are only bloody killings.

Liu Bao's eyes showed despair, and he realized at this time that he was extremely far away from Zi City, so far away that he was afraid that he would not be able to reach it again in this life.
