Chapter 172: The Ambition of the Battle
Thundered~
A muffled thunder sounded in the sky above Niu Sheye, and on the twenty-mile-wide field, the soldiers of Han and Xian touched each other, and they bloomed everywhere.
Xu Rong and Wei Musheng, who were in charge of the assault on both wings, could not cut off the Xianbei people at the waist, and they collided with the two generals Kunxiong and Yiwu who were killed left and right, and Fang Yue, who was in a head-to-head confrontation, also met the brown canal in the middle at almost the same moment.
The battle between the two sides broke out at the touch of a button.
Gao Shun, who was only left in the camp and sat in the handsome banner, glanced at the battlefield, his resolute face showed a little solemnity, and he was not angry and arrogant.
The current situation is barely balanced, and there is no sign of defeat.
But the further it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was to the Han army.
The Han army has already poured out, and there are at least 50,000 soldiers and horses left around Bu Dugen.
Xianbei people lost more than 10,000 people, and they couldn't hurt their muscles and bones; If the Han army collapsed in one place, it collapsed everywhere.
"Commander, I found a Xianbei cavalry with a number of about three thousand in the rear, as if it was coming towards us." A soldier came to report.
When Gao Shun heard the news, he hardly had any surprise.
From the moment Fang Yue was dispatched, Gao Shun had guessed that there would be such a result, and he had already made preparations.
"Trapped!"
Gao Shun got down from the chariot and raised the handsome flag, his voice was majestic.
"Fight! War! War! The eight hundred fallen dead straightened up, their eyes full of war, and they struck their shields with their spears and shouted in unison.
The cold wind blew across the cheeks, like a knife to the bone.
Huaiyi Rensheng, who was walking against the wind on horseback, could feel this, but at this moment he didn't realize it, and even curled the corners of his mouth, with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, obviously happy and comfortable in his heart, and happy flowers.
Eighteen generals came to compete for this task, but in the end, he was entrusted with the task by Budugen.
Compared with other people's desperate battles on the battlefield, his task is not known to be simple, the cavalry and foot soldiers, the number is still three times that of the Han army.
Originally, he said that 1,000 cavalry was enough, but in order to solve it quickly, Budugen still allocated him 3,000 military cavalry.
The fluttering flag of the Han army is in front of him, Huaiyi Rensheng once again sped up the speed of the war horse, and finally grabbed this opportunity, how can he win the jackpot and show the prestige of this general.
He had even thought about how to tell Bu Dugen about his brilliant results after cutting down the banner of the Han army.
A hundred paces away, Huaiyi Rensheng ordered a cavalry shooting, and laughed rampantly: "Look at this general's wave of cavalry shooting, I will definitely ask you to wait for more than half of the dead and wounded." ”
With the Xianbei people's bow and arrow, the camp has long been full of tacit understanding. The soldiers in the front row squatted half-squatting, smashed the shield in their hands to the ground, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward one after another, embedding the shield in their hands on the bottom shield, forming a circle to form a steel barrier centered on Gao Shun.
The flying arrows slammed into the shield, clanging and clinking.
Several waves were shot down, and tens of thousands of arrows were shot, but not even a single Han was injured.
Huaiyi Rensheng was furious, feeling that he had been insulted like never before, so he simply threw the horn bow in his hand, pulled out the scimitar on the horseback, and shouted loudly: "Sons, follow the generals to break the defense of this group of Han troops!" ”
Kill~~~
The cavalry in the rear followed suit, put away their bows and arrows, drew their scimitars, and shouted to kill the heavens.
As soon as the arrow stopped, Gao Shun ordered without hesitation: "Change formation, scales!" ”
The original cylindrical battle formation split from the rear in an instant, and the soldiers on both sides put away the shields in their hands, ran forward quickly, and then filled the shields left and right in turn, forming a long row of shield walls.
Seeing this, Huaiyi Rensheng, who rushed over, sneered: "The power of the ants is still delusional to block the sea of rivers, it's ridiculous!" ”
Quickly rushed all the way to the front of the trapped camp, and just as he was about to break through this shield wall and rush in to kill, the square slit where the shield in front of him fit stabbed out rows of dazzling cold rays of up to hundreds.
Horses are spiritual animals, and when they encounter danger, they will choose to avoid harm at the first time.
The horse that rushed forward was obviously frightened, and suddenly made a sharp stop, stood on its hind legs, and stepped on its front hooves in the air.
Thanks to Huaiyi Rensheng, he clutched the reins in his hand and was not thrown off the horse by this sudden attack.
As soon as the general's horse in front stopped, the cavalry charging behind also stopped.
"Battle array, Fang!" Gao Shun, who held the handsome flag, had a glint in his eyes, seized this opportunity and gave a decisive order.
Before the Xianbei cavalry who were holding their horses' heads could react, they saw a row of shields as solid as thick ice in front of them suddenly burst open.
Kill!
The roaring trap camp strode forward, forming a small four-sided phalanx in groups of eight, which could be attacked and defended.
Just a few hundred Han soldiers, not taking the opportunity to escape, actually dared to launch a counterattack, I really don't know whether to live or die!
Huaiyi Rensheng's face was gloomy, and he took three thousand horsemen behind him, and without saying a word, he directly entered the formation.
The greatest advantage of the cavalry is the speed and the inertial power brought by the charge, and at this moment, the three thousand cavalry of the Xianbei people have obviously lost these two advantages.
It's fine to deal with ordinary soldiers, but in front of them, it's obviously not an ordinary soldier.
Huaiyi Rensheng leaned over and slashed at the shoulder of a soldier, only to hear the sound of a 'bell', the soldier was unharmed, and his backhand was a shot straight to his heart.
Huaiyi Rensheng was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough to sideways dodge the deadly shot.
Several soldiers were cut down one after another, all with the same result.
"Hell!"
The Xianbei cavalry scolded rudely, and these heavily armored soldiers in front of him were not only holding hard shields, but almost all the places that were easy to cut were covered with solid iron armor, and they couldn't even break through the defense with a single sword.
And the spears in their hands had an advantage when fighting with short knives, and many of the horsemen on horseback were stabbed through and fell to their deaths.
If you continue to fight like this, you can only suffer yourself.
Huaiyi Rensheng knew it in his heart, but he just couldn't swallow this evil breath. When he saw that the commander of the Han army was only guarded by seven or eight armor soldiers, he knew that the opportunity had come.
The three thousand cavalry behind him were divided and eaten by the trapped camp, and Huaiyi Rensheng didn't care, he clenched the scimitar in his hand, and success or failure was all in one move.
In order to avoid startling the snake, he didn't even know what the soldiers around him did, turned his horse alone to find an empty corner, and rushed straight towards the Han army commander.
Perhaps because he had been suppressed for a long time, Gao Shun did not let a few soldiers around him step forward to stop him.
He handed the flag in his hand to a burly man, and slowly pulled out the strangely shaped spear from the chariot, called the 'hook and sickle'.
Gao Shun stood in the snow, and the tip of the hook and sickle that was dragged diagonally backwards in his hand happened to be on the surface of the snow.
The oncoming Huaiyi Rensheng slashed straight down with the blade in his hand, and shouted violently: "Give me death!" ”
Gao Shun did not dodge or dodge, handed out the hook and sickle in his hand, and even the indifferent expression on his face never changed in the slightest.
Gambling on your life?
Huaiyi Rensheng's face sank, his body was slightly sideways, Gao Shun's shot pierced the air, and the scimitar in his hand left a scarlet blood on Gao Shun's body.
In just one confrontation, Huaiyi Rensheng had already judged that Gao Shun's strength was below him, and he couldn't help but sneer: "You still dare to fight with me for this ability?" ”
The tip of the spear that was originally piercing in the air swirled, and the hook tip that curved inward below pressed against the neck, and with a 'poof' sound, the whole head flew high into the air.
The ugly head rolled to the ground like a leather ball, Huaiyi Rensheng's eyes widened, and the body without a head gushed blood, and was led forward by the war horse under the crotch for a long time before falling off the horse.
"General, you're wounded!" Several soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward, and the awe of Gao Shun in their hearts rose again. The knife that Huaiyi Rensheng slashed at Gao Shun's body, they all looked at it painfully, but Gao Shun was stunned and didn't snort.
After a simple hemostatic bandage, Gao Shun looked at the location where Budugen was, and had already made a decision: "The lord often says that it is not rude to come." After packing up the 3,000 horsemen, we will go to meet the Xianbei King for a while, and tell him with the gun and shield in his hand what is the will to fall into battle! ”
