Chapter 0308: A Deadly Attack from Behind

The two phalanxes in the front of the Jizhou soldiers were all broken by the Xianbei people, and the two phalanxes in the middle commanded by Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang immediately began a new round of blockade.

The crossbow carts on the hill flanking the phalanx aimed at the Xianbei shock cavalry and began a second round of frantic volleys.

At this time, it was no longer the original five hundred ballista carts that were launched, but a thousand ballista cars and a thousand strong ballista in a salvo. Each round of archery can shoot 20,000 three-foot-long (about 70 centimeters) Potou crossbow arrows and 1,000 giant crossbow arrows one foot long.

Because of the geographical advantage of being in the mountains, even the range of the ballista is as high as 700 steps (nearly 1,000 meters), and the range of the strong ballista is even more deformed, as high as 1,200 steps (nearly 1,700 meters). With such a large range, it almost covered the entire area where the Hu coalition army charged. It not only caused huge casualties to the Hu coalition army, but also caused them strong psychological pressure, greatly reducing the pressure on the Jizhou soldiers who were blocking head-on.

………………

The judge took his gaze back from the battlefield, he looked up at the sky, raised his right hand, and said loudly, "Ignition......"

The soldiers, who had been waiting for the fire to burn, cheered and threw their torches on the wooden pile.

In the blink of an eye, the fire burned violently. Three pillars of black smoke rose into the air, and against the clear blue sky, it looked particularly shocking.

Pu Tou looked at the fire burning in the rear of the Han army and the pillar of smoke in the sky, and was both surprised and a little puzzled: "Could it be that Li Yi is behind this Yuanping City?" ”

Twilight hesitated for a moment and said, "This is the Han people's beacon call for help. On the Great Wall Fortress, they used this method to deliver messages. ”

Pu Tou glanced at him, thinking to himself what kind of nonsense you were talking about. Everyone knows this, and you still need to explain it?

"The king is right, Li Yi's army must be not far ahead." Twilight Gated said, pointing to Changliang Mountain. "Li Yi wants to use these Han troops to consume our forces first, and then use cavalry to charge and kill us."

"Li Yi thought he could defeat me and slow us down the speed of our southward movement." Pu Tou pointed to the Hutuo River and Changliang Mountain, and sneered, "This terrain is not bad, but it's a pity that he underestimated us." ”

Twilight nodded in agreement. "At the moment we are few people. If Li Yi's tens of thousands of cavalry come over together, we will inevitably lose a little. In my opinion, we should step back to avoid his edge for a while. ”

"Nope." Pu Tou smiled, "The terrain here is narrow, and it is not easy for the cavalry army to deploy. Li Yi only thought about taking advantage of the favorable terrain here to strengthen the infantry's blocking ability, but forgot that this place was not suitable for cavalry charging and killing at all. Hmph, I'm going to tell him to reap the consequences. ”

Pu Tou pointed to the battlefield ahead and said, "If we storm the phalanx of the Han army, we will be entangled with the infantry of the Han people. Li Yi's cavalry couldn't be killed. ”

"Could it be that the king wants to drag Li Yi in Changliang Mountain?" Twilight Gaiting hesitated, frowned, and asked, "My Majesty, the army of Ritsuri's deduction has not yet arrived in Yuanping, and if he does not arrive, our losses will be too great." ”

"I immediately ordered the Ritsuri Deduction and the bald army to hurry up." Pu Tou said, "This opportunity is too good, we must drag Li Yi here." As soon as our army arrives. Li Yi is about to withdraw his troops, and then ......"

"Then we followed. chased Li Yi all the way to Jinyang. Twilight said worriedly, "Ohmy, it's a good idea, but ......"

"It's not to chase Jinyang, but to catch up with Li Yi and kill him along the Hutuo River." Putou unceremoniously interrupted Twilight Gate's words. He said confidently, "Don't worry, King Jiuyuan, Ritsuri will be able to get here soon." This time, I will catch Li Yi and crush him to ashes to vent the hatred in my heart. ”

Putou immediately sent people to urge the law and day to deduce and immediately lead the army south to besiege and kill Li Yi. At the same time, he ordered Dugaiting to personally lead the army to attack the Han army.

Tens of thousands of troops crowded into a narrow attack surface and launched round after round of fierce attacks on the phalanx of the Han army.

Seeing that all the Xianbei people had attacked, the judge said to Fu Zhu in disbelief: "Is Putou crazy? Doesn't he have a brain? ”

"Brother Zhengnan is too worried. After the Xianbei people launched a furious attack, although they were entangled with our soldiers, it was troublesome to fight later, but there was a benefit. "Once the Xianbei people are surrounded, they can't quickly break away from our entanglement. In this case, they don't have to say that they don't have time to form a defense, even if they escape, it will be a problem. In this way, the army of the Xianbei people will inevitably collapse faster, and we will be able to reduce the time and losses of destroying the enemy. ”

The judge smiled reluctantly, pointed to the fierce battlefield and said, "It's just that this time, our losses are too great. ”

"If we can capture Po Tau, it's worth the loss." Frustrated.

………………

Xu Maogong thought of the upcoming battle, both excited and a little uneasy.

Li Yi repeatedly asked him, Liu Bowen, and Kou Zhun, who had just escorted heavy supplies to Bingzhou, to follow Chang Yuchun's rear army, but none of them were willing.

Liu Bowen said that he knew martial arts, and it was generally not a problem to deal with ordinary soldiers, but Kou Zhun said more simply, he said: "Most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are homeless, and they couldn't even eat enough in the past, they can all fight on the front line, why can't they be strong and strong, is it really powerless?" ”

Xu Maogong also said righteously: "An eight-foot man should serve the country and fight in a bloody battle, even if he throws his head, spills blood, and breaks his bones, he will not give up." ”

Li Yi was moved by the arrogance of Xu Maogong, Kou Zhun and Liu Bowen, so he had to take them with him and instructed Li Zhong and Li Xun to protect them carefully.

"Lord, Shen Zhengnan's signal ......" Tai Shici suddenly shouted.

Li Yi looked up suddenly. In the distance, three pillars of black smoke were wafting in the wind, clearly visible.

"Blow the trumpet and order the troops to move forward quickly......"

………………

With his eyes closed, he sat on his horse relaxedly, lazily basking in the sun. If it weren't for the loud fighting on the battlefield and the smell of blood in the air, he might have fallen asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, he felt his horse become restless.

Putou slowly opened his eyes and looked at the battlefield. Did Li Yi come with a cavalry army?

The Xianbei soldiers scattered around the river embankment also noticed the abnormality of the war horses, and they habitually lay on the ground and listened attentively. A few soldiers with keen hearing were the first to stand up and rush towards Helian.

"King, our reinforcements are here."

"King, there is an army of cavalry coming from the direction of Guangwu City."

"The king, it must be the handsome of the Ritsuri."

Putou was overjoyed, he looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "This old thing, it's finally early." ”

"Blow the trumpet and tell the brothers that our reinforcements are coming, and we are going to defeat the Han Chinese."

The horn of the Xianbei people resounded on the banks of the Hutuo River.

The judge couldn't help but laugh and said, "Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat the victory drum, and tell the Xianbei people that they are finished." ”

………………

The earth is shaking. The roar is getting louder and more violent, earth-shattering, and majestic, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can feel its indestructible power.

Putou rode his horse and whipped his horse, shouting and screaming with the soldiers, and was excited.

A large flag suddenly leaped out of the sky. Then countless Iron Knights poured out of the horizon. The Iron Cavalry Army rushed out like a rolling torrent, with a thunderous momentum, and its huge roaring sound was like a stormy wave, cracking through the clouds and urging people's hearts and lungs.

The shouts of the Xianbei people became smaller and smaller, and they became more and more powerless, and gradually, the entire Jingshui River suddenly lost its voice.

The Xianbei people became more and more panicked, more and more frightened, and gradually, began to retreat.

The horn of the Xianbei people suddenly disappeared.

Pu Tou's face became more and more ugly, his eyes widened more and more, and he lost his soul in an instant as if he saw a devil.

He really couldn't believe that Li Yi's Youzhou Iron Horse would appear behind them, it was simply deadly!

Twilight, who was fighting in the phalanx, turned back suddenly, and suddenly his face was pale, as if he had been hit hard.

Ignoring the weapons flying around him and the bloody fight, he slowly turned around and stared at the army rushing towards the river's breach, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.

Pu Tou's heart was like ashes, he understood everything, and everything was right for him. Li Yi lured him into a trap and gave him a fatal blow.

There was only one thing he wanted to know now, he only wanted to know where Li Yi had hidden the Iron Cavalry Army behind him.

He was defeated for no reason.

The horn of the Xianbei people suddenly sounded, panicked and terrifying.

"Formation...... ...... formation" and Lian screamed hoarsely, over and over again. The screams were mixed with his anger, his fear, his helplessness, and the screams were terrible and terrible, and they were chilling.

The Xianbei soldiers were all crowded in front of the phalanx, dazed, they didn't know how a Han iron cavalry army suddenly appeared behind them.

They are still fighting, they are still galloping, they are still attacking, they have no possibility of withdrawing from the battlefield, nor can they turn their horses around and regroup, they can only attack, attack. Only by attacking can they break through the phalanx of the Han people, and only by breaking through the phalanx of the Han people can they escape.

Hundreds of war drums sounded at the same time, and the thunderous drums rushed straight into the sky. The Han soldiers suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, and their huge shouts shook Changliang Mountain.

"Kill...... Kill the Xianbei people......"

Yan Liang raised his sword, took the lead, and took the lead in killing the phalanx, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others each raised their weapons, followed by the 20,000 Han soldiers with a rainbow of morale roaring like a tide, sweeping towards the Xianbei people.

"Kill—"

"Victory—"

"Victory—"

"Victory—"

……

The roar of the 30,000 Han army's iron cavalry was like thunder, and no one dared to take it as its edge. (To be continued.) )
