Chapter 907: Hedong (5)

It has always been said that the trap camp is very strong, but few people say how strong they are.

Every sergeant in the camp is a sturdy infantry in iron armor! This point is estimated to be unique in the entire Han army now.

Iron armor is very precious. The steelmaking technology of this era was not sophisticated, and the output was very small. Moreover, there is no advanced rust removal and anti-rust technology, and the maintenance loss of iron armor is also very large. In general, only officers are allowed to equip them with iron armor. And the trapped camp can do that everyone is wearing iron armor! That alone is enough to prove the elite of the trapped camp.

Defense is said, let's talk about weapons.

The trapping camp was originally formed by Zhijin Wuding Yuan, who had already been killed by Lu Bu. Ding Yuan selected more than 700 people from tens of thousands of troops who were the most elite, brave, and superior in martial arts to form a trap camp. Needless to say, ordinary iron spears, ring-headed knives, chain hammers, iron shields, and so on. Each enlisted sergeant is a moving steel fortress of killing.

The Han Dynasty inherited most of the power of the former Qin, including the crossbow arrow, which was the most powerful weapon in the Cold Weapon Era. The power of these extreme murderous weapons is unmatched.

During the Battle of Changping, 5,000 crossbowmen of the Qin State were stuck in the grain route of the Zhao State. More than 400,000 Zhao troops launched countless counterattacks in an attempt to open up the grain route, but they were all shot back by these 5,000 crossbowmen. Even Zhao Kuo was shot into a hedgehog by crossbow arrows, which directly led to 400,000 Zhao troops being buried alive!

The bolts are so powerful that you can be shot like a giant hedgehog even if you're draped in water. The scenes in film and television works where the protagonists can calmly leave under the dense crossbow arrows are absolutely impossible in reality. Murderous weapons are not just for fun.

The rhubarb crossbow, the kicking crossbow, the arm open crossbow and other killing weapons were definitely the most powerful weapons in the entire Han Dynasty. At that time, Ding Yuan, who was the ruling Jinwu, used his official position to take out a large amount of materials from the national arsenal to strengthen this trapped camp, and the most powerful of them were these well-made crossbow arrows!

More than 700 trapped camp sergeants are well-trained, cooperate tacitly, and are even more brave and fearless!

In the front row, a forest of spears and shields was erected. As the sound of the bows and crossbows sounding with sour teeth, the trapped camps behind raised the terrifying bows and crossbows in their hands!

This. It is the secret of the strength of the trapped camp!

After the ignorant Hun cavalry rushed onto the avenue, they began to howl and urge their horses to rush towards the trapped camp. For these Huns, as long as they defeat these hundreds of foot soldiers, the countless grain and grass in the convoy will be theirs!

What kind of foot soldiers were able to resist the charge of the cavalry cluster? What's more, the difference in numbers between the two sides is huge! The Huns were full of confidence.

The avenue was wide, but it was narrow when the cavalry charged in a group. In order to increase the power of the charge, the Huns had to be tightly huddled together. This type of charge is completely death-seeking for a densely packed crossbow.

The charge of the Huns was interesting, and it was some gray-haired old men who rushed to the front. The horses they rode were also inferior horses. The young men in the prime of life followed behind on fine horses.

The steppe peoples follow the law of the jungle, and the most useful thing for them is the young people. And the only role of the old men on the battlefield is to consume the enemy's strength.

Yu Fuluo's attack strategy was very simple, first a group of useless old men used their flesh and blood to break through those dense gun formations. After disrupting the formation of the Han army, the young men who followed up covered up and killed. And so the battle ended.

In the face of absolute strength, any strategy will be as useless as spring and snow. Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and the commander of the army who can always win battles does not need any tricks at all! Strength is the foundation of everything.

A cold glint flashed in Gao Yang's eyes. As the Hun cavalry drew closer and closer, in the dusty sky and the roar of thunderous horses' hooves trampling the earth. Gao Yang could see that there was only endless peace on the faces of those white-haired Hun old people!

It's old and useless. Either they were thrown to starve to death on the steppe, or they were eaten by wild beasts. Either that or it is consumed as cannon fodder on the battlefield. If you are lucky enough not to die, you can still eat a full meal after winning the battle, and you can even share a few women to play with. For these old Huns. That's fate!

When the large group of cavalry began to charge at a faster pace, the sound was like thunder, and the momentum was amazing! It is normal for the cowards who have not been on the battlefield to be scared in the face of this situation.

It's just that if you can't bear it on the battlefield, it's basically equivalent to saying goodbye to the world. It's not just the enemy who will kill you. Your own people want to kill you even more! There is only one capital crime for disturbing the morale of the army on the battlefield, no matter what era it is!

Looking at the Hun cavalry that was getting closer and closer, with hideous faces. Listen to the thunderous roar in your ears. Several people who were driving the car couldn't withstand the huge pressure. Under the threat of death, these people, whose faces were so pale that they felt like they were about to vomit, suddenly screamed. Turn around and run!

People have a strong herd mentality when faced with danger. It's like a group of people walking in a dark alley, and if someone laughs loudly, they are not afraid. Then everyone will be infected, and no matter how dark and terrifying the alley is, it doesn't matter in front of people.

However, if there is fear in one person, it will quickly spread the fear to everyone. No matter how many people there are, the end will inevitably be a collapse.

It's the same on the battlefield. Once there is a leader, if it cannot be banned immediately, then soon the entire army will collapse. This was the case with the armies of the late Song and Ming dynasties.

Several auxiliaries, who looked to be over forty years old, shouted angrily and drew their swords, cutting down several fleeing civilians to the ground. However, there were still several people who let out meaningless yells and rushed through the convoy, stirring up a crowd of chickens and dogs in the convoy.

'Oh~~~" Several sharp arrows were close to the ears of the team chasing the deserters with knives, and they pierced the backs of the deserters with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The force of the impact flew up with the deserters, and they fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

The eyes of thousands of people were cast on Gao Yang, who looked calm and slowly put away his bow and arrows. His eyes were full of admiration. This peerless archery skill alone is enough to make the people suppress the fear in their hearts!

The generals of this era have a great influence on the morale of the army!

Yu Fuluo felt his breathing begin to grow rapid. There was a faint feeling in his heart that something was not good. The hundreds of Han soldiers on the avenue stood indifferently like a towering mountain, and a sense of slaughter permeated the entire battlefield!

In the face of the charge of thousands of cavalry, these foot soldiers did not waver in the slightest! There is only indifference in the eyes! Spears, shields, crossbows! Not to mention running away, you don't even have a shaking body!

This can only happen to those absolute elite masters!

Yu Fuluo now wants to scold, is the commander of the Han army a pig's head that eats too much meat and is a pig's head? Such a powerful elite division is actually used to transport grain and grass?! If this is used on the main battlefield, this war will not end long ago?! This is here to fuck me, isn't it?!

Now the cavalry group under his command has attacked, and it looks like it is about to charge. Even if he retreated from Fuluo, it would be too late. I can only fight hard, and I sincerely hope that the elite in front of me is just a model.

As the Hun cavalry roared and rushed into the coverage of the crossbow arrows, a soldier with a rough face with a huge scar suddenly roared angrily and waved his lower arm fiercely!

A burst of soul-shattering crossbows rang out, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared over the military column trapped in the camp!

The bow and crossbow of this era can be a crossbow with several arrows, ("Three Kingdoms - Shu Shu-Zhuge Liang Biography" notes the book "Wei's Spring and Autumn Period" records that Zhuge Liang once designed and produced a "Yuanrong" crossbow on the basis of the 'previous generation' that could fire 'multiple crossbow arrows' at one time, that is, Zhuge repeater.) This quote shows that Zhuge Liang's repeater was improved, and in the Han Dynasty army there were already repeaters that could fire multiple salvos of crossbow arrows! Trapping the camp is now not using a repeater instead of opening a golden finger. The power of a salvo of hundreds of crossbow arrows is enough to change the color of heaven and earth!

If the people in the convoy were stunned by this black cloud, then the Huns who directly faced these crossbow arrows were going crazy.

When the war horse under the crotch had begun to rush at high speed, he faced these overwhelming rain of arrows. The only thing the Huns could do was to close their eyes in despair!

"Hehe~~~" The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled slightly, and he chuckled. He saw that those old Huns who were originally expressionless or hideous-looking finally showed a look of panic and despair. This is what Gao Yang wants to see!

"Do-do!!" The sharp crossbow bolts pierced the sky with huge kinetic energy, stabbing people and horses fiercely! The bolts pierced through the sackcloth clothes or leather armor, and burrowed into the body fiercely!

The Hun cavalry who rushed in front instantly fell down a large area, blood splashed in the dust, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was like the roar of night owls!

400,000 elite Zhao troops can't break through the blockade of 5,000 crossbow arrows, and 4,000 Hun cavalry can break through the accumulation of hundreds of crossbows?

With just one blow, the Huns who rushed to the front were shot at least hundreds of people!

The avenue was instantly blocked by the corpses of the people and horses, and the Hun cavalry who followed behind were terrified of the war horses, but they could not stop the power of moving forward at high speed, and more than 100 Hun cavalry in the front row fell into the corpse pile!

After the first round of arrow rain, dozens of Hun cavalry escaped by chance, and quickly rushed to the front of the trapped camp by rushing forward. It's just that at this moment, they have long lost the courage to continue to move forward, looking at the dense array of guns in front of them, they are all desperately strangling their horses, trying to turn around and escape.

Now that you're here, how can you leave so easily? (To be continued......)
