The Hun cavalry is now rushing to rejoice. Fastest update
Since they entered the state, they have burned, killed, looted, and done all kinds of evil against the Han people, and they have encountered almost no resistance, which makes them all overjoyed.
In the minds of many Huns, the Han people are not easy to deal with, even if it is the Huns who often enter the territory of the Han people to plunder, when Ding Yuan was still the assassin of the state, his generals fought with the Huns extremely bravely, killing them in fear.
However, now they don't have to be afraid, Ding Yuan is dead, and the invincible flying general Lu Bu, who scared them, voted for Dong Zhuo again, and became Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and now he is in Chang'an. Without someone to deter them, what are they to worry about? Most of the Huns were very optimistic in their hearts, believing that there was nothing in the Han Dynasty that would make them feel terrible. In particular, everyone thinks that Bingzhou will be the world of their Huns.
The abundant land of Bingzhou is theirs, and the houses, money and grain of the Han people are all theirs, and even the Han people will all become slaves of their Huns. Men, who will work for them, women, hehe, for their rejoicing.
It is conceivable that in the future, they will be the lords of the state, and their future life will be very beautiful.
However, the Xiongnu king ordered that if they wanted to really get the state and live in the beautiful place of the state, they must defeat Liu Yi's army, drive Liu Yi's army out of the state, and occupy the east of the river where Liu Yi's army was stationed, so that they could really occupy the state in peace.
Their king ordered them to kill them to the east of the river with a thunderous force.
The leader of the Xiongnu vanguard army, Hu Tubiao, he is a famous condor archer among the Xiongnu tribes, and his archery skills are outstanding. Under his command, there is a thousand personal soldiers, all of whom are marksmen.
The Hun cavalry, the main thing is that the cavalry is powerful, and it is famous for its accurate cavalry shooting. This cavalry of the Hutu standard. It can be said that it was the most elite cavalry of the Huns. A hero to all the Huns.
Of course, as a vanguard army, it is naturally impossible to have only 1,000 cavalry, and there are 10,000 people under his command. Other than that. The king of the Xiongnu also allocated 10,000 cavalry to him, and asked him to lead an army of 20,000 to kill Hedong as the vanguard.
However, speaking of the vanguard. The large force was not far from them, and followed them less than a few miles behind them.
Sava felt very honored that his tribe's cavalry had been sent to serve as the vanguard with Huturb. Let him have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Hun heroes in his mind. He would love to join the army of the thousand Condor Archers, because. He was confident that he could become an eagle shooter himself. He really wanted to ask the eagle shooters for archery skills, but unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to ask them for advice on the way to the army. He thought that after defeating Liu Yi's army, he must go and grab a beautiful Han woman to give to Hu Tubiao, and then ask him for archery skills.
All the way into the vast plain.
Finally, he found an opportunity to get close to an eagle archer who was slightly behind because he drank water. It was a middle-aged strong man with a hooked nose and eyes like an eagle. At first glance, he is an amazing hero.
He slapped his horse and rushed up, and said flatteringly to the condor shooter, "This big brother, my name is Sally." I don't know what Big Brother is called? Hungry, right? I have a roast chicken leg here, I burned it last night, and I didn't eat it. ”
As he spoke, he took a chicken leg from his bosom and handed it over.
"Qi Feng." The brawny man was expressionless. But he unceremoniously took the chicken leg with one hand and said his name. He rushed forward and took a bite of the chicken thigh.
"Uh, Brother Qi, wait a minute." Naturally, Sava didn't want to miss this good opportunity to get closer to the Condor Archer, and he caught up with him.
"You want to die? Now the army is rolling, and if you are not careful, you will be trampled into a pulp by the torrent of the army. Qi Feng roared at Sava who had caught up.
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, I, I just want to ask, after this big battle, can Brother Qi teach me archery? I also want to be an eagle shooter like you. Sava asked, a little timidly.
"You? Besides, our archery skills will not be taught to others casually. Qi Feng looked at the chicken leg and glanced at him with slanted eyes.
"Brother Qi, I, I naturally won't let you teach ...... in vain" After Sava was no longer afraid of the Han people, he learned some flattery from other veterans, and learned some skills to build a good relationship with people, he lowered his voice and said: "I caught a beautiful Han girl......"
"Huh? Hey, okay, let's see if you can survive this battle, and when the battle is over, you come to me. When Qi Feng heard that there was a woman, his eyes flashed, and he slowed down his tone.
"Ah, that, that's great, thank you, Brother Qi." Sava finally touched Qi Feng and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"The whole army obeys the order! There is a Han army found in front, ready to fight, full speed ahead! ”
At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout from the herald ahead.
Is there a Han army? Qi Feng and Sava both looked forward, and in the billowing dust and smoke, they faintly saw a black line on the field a few miles ahead, and it seemed that it was the Han army.
"Haha! These Han soldiers don't know whether they are alive or dead, they actually dare to line up on the plains, and they have to line up, they think that in this way they can resist our iron hooves? Sava laughed first, and said with a smile: "They must be at the touch of a button, the courage of the Han people is very small." ”
However, Qi Feng's face changed, and he said, "Shut up!" If you don't want to die, follow me. ”
"Oh? Are we still in danger of that? ”。 Sava was puzzled.
"You're a herdsman, aren't you? Didn't fight with the Han Chinese? You see, we are now cavalry, and cavalry is the nemesis of infantry, especially in the wilderness where there is no danger to defend, if the infantry encounters our cavalry, it will definitely be a dead end, but this Han army still dares to line up in this plain land, if they don't have a little support, do they dare to line up here? So, there will definitely be some conspiracy, don't say I didn't warn you, for a while, don't rush too much, and then rush over when you see it. Qi Feng remembered the beautiful woman that Sava said in his heart, so he kindly reminded him.
"Oh, then I'll follow Brother Qi Feng." Sava said flatteringly: "In the future, only Brother Qi's order will be obeyed." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, I'll go talk to the commander of Hutu, and see if I can stop first and wait for the army behind to come up."
"Yes."
Hun Army. Their military discipline, uh, it should be said that there is no military discipline at all, their sergeants. Almost all of them are herdsmen, grazing in their spare time, and when they are gathered, they can form an army. Soldiers under their command, in general. will only follow the leaders of their respective clans. But. It is not excluded that the children of some tribes can change to generals at will.
In many cases, the generals in the Xiongnu army were named centurions or thousand-commanders and generals according to how many tribesmen they could follow. So, like Savoy. If you say that you will follow this Qi Feng, you will follow Qi Feng, and no one will pursue anything.
The Hun veterans who had fought with the Han army, they had all seen that the Han army was actually relatively difficult to deal with, and they usually used their horses to carry out sneak attacks on the Han army. One hit and go, and there is usually no danger. However, if you get entangled with them, it will not be easy to escape. The Han army, when you really want to fight you, whether you are cavalry or infantry, they will fight with you without fear of death. Even if you die, you will pull a cushion back.
Qi Feng quickly found a banner to follow, and the vanguard first ordered to break through the standard.
This Sava also has a little vision, and he has a close relationship with Qi Feng, because this Qi Feng is a more favored deputy general under Hu Tubiao.
"General Hutu." Qi Feng expressed his suspicions to Hu Tubiao and said, "The Han army is in formation in this wild place. It seems that he is waiting for us deliberately, is there any conspiracy in this? ”
"Oh?" Hu Tubiao couldn't help but slow down the speed of the charge.
"General, don't forget, how many traps did we encounter when we passed through the mountainous area of Pingyang? I dare say. In front of the Han army in front, there must be a trap in the horse, so we rushed over like this...... Is it too risky? Qi Feng rode his horse and Hu Tubiao side by side, and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "Shall we stop and wait for the army behind to come?" ”
"No, I can't. The Han army in front of it doesn't seem to be too much. It's just tens of thousands of people, the king ordered, see the Han army, immediately attack it, this is a plain area, they can't set up an ambush for us, the most worrying thing may be the horse pit you said, so let's order our headquarters 10,000 military horses as the second wave of charge, tell the other 10,000 cavalry to supplement us to rush first, even if there is a horse trap in front, let them fill it first. ”
"Hehe, General Hutu is wise." Qi Feng said with a complimented smile.
Hu Tubiao didn't say anything more, and immediately ordered another team of 10,000 cavalry, spread out the formation, and began to charge the Han army.
When the Hun cavalry found that the Han army was waiting in the plains, the sergeants of the two sides were only a few miles apart, and in the blink of an eye, the Hun cavalry rushed into a range of about two miles away from the Han army.
For two miles, you can see each other's faces clearly. A single charge can kill the Han army.
Under the general's order, the Hun cavalry sacrificed their weapons one after another, shouted in unison, and rushed towards the Han army.
Hu Tubiao and the others, following closely behind the 10,000-strong cavalry, opened a distance of half a mile from them.
At this time, Liu Yi rode on the white dragon horse, and he could see the situation ahead more clearly.
The Hun cavalry, their hooves thundered, coupled with their shouts of killing, a huge wave of sound came from the front, making everyone feel a little trembling in their ears.
The black cavalry, they quickly dispersed in formation, everyone raised swords, spears and other weapons, facing the sun, emitting a glittering reflection. Among them, there were also many cavalry cavalrymen who were good at cavalry, holding bows and arrows, drawing bows and arrows, and preparing to shoot a round with bows and arrows before attacking their own military formations.
When this Hun cavalry entered the range of two miles, behind them, a black oppressive cavalry emerged, like a large dark cloud rising from the ground, pressing from the front, making people feel breathless.
The charge of 200,000 cavalry was more powerful than the 100,000 cavalry in the decisive battle with Dong Zhuo before Tongguan. Before there was a battle, it made people feel that there was a force of Mount Tai pressing over.
If he is not prepared, with the sergeant of Lewy here, he will be very likely to be run over by their army at once, and he will not even be able to splash a single wave.
Of course, the sergeants under Liu Yi, they were not frightened at all, but everyone was enthusiastic, because they all knew that no matter how many Hun cavalry there were, how many came, before their bed crossbow array, they were all a fart. Anyone who has seen the power of a bed crossbow knows that people and horses are flesh and blood. It is impossible to compete with the ruining power of the bed crossbow. The more the Huns came, the more they would die.
When the vanguard cavalry of the Huns entered the range of the two-mile bed crossbow arrow, Yan Liangcai gave an order and ordered all the sergeants in front of the Hun army to retreat behind the bed crossbow array. A burst of painted bed crossbows. It is directly exposed to the front.
It's a pity that the Hun cavalry who charged over, they didn't know the power of the bed crossbow, and they still rushed to kill and kill.
Two miles. One mile ......
Under the excited gaze of Sergeant Liu Yi, the Hun cavalry, wielding swords and guns, rushed directly into the trap formation with a bang.
The sergeants all saw the Hun cavalry who were screaming frantically and rushing over. They rushed and rushed, and suddenly they slammed into the ground, well, in a whole row. In an instant, about a mile or so in front of the bed crossbow array, people turned on their backs, and the terrible screams kept coming out.
"Haha, come on! Come on. Fall to death you guys***! The sergeants in Liu Yi's army all laughed and scolded in unison when they saw the tragic situation of the Hun cavalry crashing into the horse pit, and the cavalry behind them also fell down one after another because they couldn't regain their momentum. The bed crossbow has not yet wielded. Let them lose their troops and lose their generals, which will naturally make the sergeants happy.
"Brothers, let these damned Huns see what a real murder weapon is, and prepare a bed crossbow...... Launch! Gan Ning also geared up. Holding a large command flag, he ordered loudly.
Ganning had seen the power of trebuchets and bed crossbows, and he had discovered. He was less interested in the things that were charged, and he now preferred to watch the stone projectiles thrown by the trebuchets blast their enemies to slag with an indestructible force. It's a pity that the trebuchet was not transported to participate in this battle. However, Gan Ning was more looking forward to the power of the bed crossbow. So, now, he is so excited that his face is a little red.
Ding Ding Ding! Boom Boom Boom ......
With Gan Ning's order, the bowstring brackets of thousands of bed crossbows were opened, followed by a powerful and powerful sound of bowstrings.
Whining......
At the moment when the bow of the bed crossbow suddenly jumped out of the bed crossbow and was ejected like lightning, the sound of more than 10,000 long arrows with the thickness of arms and more than two feet long suddenly burst out with a whine that made people's hearts shake.
This kind of whine, the momentum is extremely huge, and it actually suppresses the sound of horses' hooves on the battlefield and the screams of the Hun cavalry who are turning over on their backs.
The soldiers of the Han Army, who started the attack, were also stunned by this sudden loud sound, and everyone looked at the huge arrows that burst out.
The sound, like a cry, like a cry, seemed to come out of hell, and it shook everyone's minds.
Not only the sergeants of the Han army, but also the Hun cavalry from a distance of miles, they were also shocked by this loud sound at the same time. They, everyone looked up in disbelief, everyone opened their mouths wide, as if they had forgotten everything in the world at once, and could only subconsciously look forward, wanting to see what was causing such a shocking roar.
I saw that the long row of giant arrows crossed the distance between the two armies for more than a mile neatly and neatly, and then as if suddenly accelerated, they struck into the dense Hun cavalry group.
At the moment when the giant arrow struck into the Hun cavalry group, the Han soldiers would never forget this thrilling scene.
In the loud roar, the soldiers of the Han army saw that the Hun cavalry in front of them, they were suddenly blown up by a strong wind, and they were hit by giant arrows one by one as if they were flying silently, well, it was a whole row of Hun cavalry that was knocked up.
And their flying bodies were directly torn apart and pierced by giant arrows, and the long arrows were castrated, directly affecting the cavalry behind.
It is unimaginable that the arrows of this bed crossbow are really so indestructible, but everywhere they go, whether it is a person or a horse, they are directly penetrated by them.
This round of bed crossbow attacks, when the Hun cavalry suddenly fell into the horse trap when they were charged, the momentum was greater, and the damage to the Hun cavalry was greater. As if a place was directly bulldozed by a row of bows and arrows, countless Hun cavalry died in this round of attacks.
Woo......
All the arrows, finally fulfilling their mission, or piercing the bodies of several Hun cavalry or several war horses, stopped. Although all the arrows stopped, the sound of the arrows seemed to linger for a long time, and seemed to still fill the ears of the sergeant.
"Ahh......hh
"Mom......"
"Woo ......"
The roar of the arrows dispersed, and the miserable cries of the Hun soldiers suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Under the sudden, unexplained and devastating blow, the attack of the bed crossbow made the Hun cavalry who were shouting for killing chaotic. Completely devastated. I didn't have the courage to rush towards the Han army again.
It's a pity that it's too late or too fast, and such a change is actually just a blink of an eye. The arrows from the bed crossbow may be powerful, but don't forget. The Hun cavalry was still in the charge. At this time, even if they are afraid, they are still charging forward, they. Most of them haven't come back to their senses yet, and they want to turn around and run for their lives.
In the Han army's formation, Gan Ning reacted first, and he shouted loudly: "Quickly reload the arrows!" Get ready to pull the strings! ”
Countless sergeants of the Han army shuddered and hurriedly took action.
Just for a moment. With Gan Ning's order, with a whin, the heavens and the earth were filled with this terrifying loud roar.
Among the Hun cavalry, the flesh and blood flew, under the attack of the force majeure bed crossbow arrows, seeing that the sergeant in front was tragically killed like mowing grass, the Hun cavalry behind was really cold, desperately reined in the horse, and wanted to fight the horse and flee.
But. The effective killing of the bed crossbow was about two miles away, and the 10,000 cavalry who were the first to rush over had no way to escape this death distance. Not only them, but even the 10,000 cavalry who called for the breakthrough. Most of them also charged into the effective range of the bed crossbow.
The bed crossbow, after only firing five rounds, turned a two-mile hell of flesh and blood. Of the more than 10,000 Hun cavalry, not a single one is still alive.
More than 10,000 people alive. Warhorses are also included.
Fortunately, I listened to Qi Feng's construction. Hu Tubiao, who didn't dare to charge too fast, was so frightened by the tragic situation in front of him that his legs trembled, and his body seemed to tremble uncontrollably. The face was even more pale and pale.
He muttered blankly, "What the hell is going on...... W-What the hell is going on? ”
"He, he, they ......" Qi Feng was so shocked that the whole person climbed on the back of the horse, and it was difficult to even speak.
Savo, who followed Qi Feng and avoided the catastrophe, was even more frightened by the tragic situation in front of him at this moment, and he couldn't even climb the war horse.
Boom, the Hun cavalry army finally came, the difference between the large army and the vanguard army was only a few miles away, and as soon as the vanguard army stopped, most of the cavalry arrived.
"We can't attack any more!" Hu Tubiao roared like a frenzy, patted his horse back, and met most of the Hun cavalry.
How long has it been? They didn't even touch the shadow of the Han army, and they lost more than 10,000 Hun elite cavalry, among them, because they entered the killing range of that unknown killing weapon, most of the 1,000 Condor Archers under Hu Tubiao were also killed or wounded. He didn't dare to imagine that if most of the cavalry behind him attacked forward, then the losses would be even greater.
Hutu Biao now wants to get as far away from here as he wants, and never wants to take a single step forward.
Of the 20,000 cavalry led by Hutubiao, only about 2,000 escaped alive, and the rest of the cavalry who escaped from death saw Hutubiao walking back, and they also hurriedly followed.
He wanted to immediately explain the situation to the Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo, so that the Xiongnu king would not rush forward to charge. However, the Hun cavalry is overwhelming, the Hun army, they received the order, that is, to rush up when they see the Han army, and they have been provoked by the Han army of Tai Shici in recent days, and now seeing the Han army in front, they didn't care about the two thousand defeated soldiers, and directly crossed over, charging and attacking the Han army in front.
He suddenly woke up to his senses, and he jumped to his feet and shouted, but it did not stop the cavalry from rushing into the death zone.
"Pigs! Didn't you see the fragmentary corpses of our Huns? I rushed in! Come back......" Hu Tubiao almost cried out.
"General Hutu, it's useless, hurry up, go and explain the situation to the king, otherwise, we will suffer a big loss......" Qi Feng, who also came to his senses, reminded Hutu Biao.
"Yes, yes, go see the king......" Hu Tubiao hurriedly looked around, wanting to find the royal flag of the king of the Huns in the overwhelming cavalry army.
