Chapter 908: Hedong (6)
With the roar of the soldiers with hideous scars on their faces, the soldiers of the trapped camp in the front row strode forward in a neat row, and the steel spear heads in their hands that reflected the endless cold in the sunlight stabbed out like poisonous snakes, and soon stabbed these Huns off their horses.
The military formation continued to move forward. The pikemen in the front row, shouting muffled slogans and strode across the pile of corpses to the front. The sword and shield soldiers behind the spear array flew with their swords in their hands, cutting off the heads of those Huns on the ground, whether they were alive or dead, and hanging them from their waists!
The crossbowmen continue to reload their bows with arrows! The entire army is a cold killing machine! Invincible! Even the folks who were originally pale were already cheering in unison at this moment!
When the trapped camp shot a rain of sharp arrows for the second time, the Huns, who had always bullied the weak and feared the hard, were completely desperate. After throwing down more than 1,000 corpses and wounded, the Hun cavalry who were still alive all frantically turned their horses' heads and fled.
The battle loss rate of more than 30% is not a price that these Xiongnu herdsmen can afford at all. Even the Han army can't bear this kind of battle damage, unless it's the elite of the elite in the trapped camp.
Yu Fuluo, who lost his soul and looked miserable, was forcibly taken off the battlefield by his subordinates. The carefully crafted banners of the armor have all become decorations. An ordinary encounter will bring back the prototype to Fura. His horses had already broken up, and even if he could escape from the pursuit of the Han army, he would wait until he had regathered his troops and horses. These people also have no courage to continue fighting, he can only choose to flee towards the grassland in embarrassment!
"Go back! Get back!! Let's kill back! Yu Fuluo, who came back to his senses, suddenly turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he howled as if he had fallen into madness, and a hungry wolf. With the strength of his arms, he almost threw away the guards who were holding him. He was unwilling, unwilling to let his ambition be ruthlessly extinguished by the Han army as soon as it was ignited!
It's a pity that he is no longer able to command the scattered soldiers and horses. The Hun cavalry who were still alive all scattered and fled. There are only more than 100 people around Fuluo. Just like that, people fight back, but they are just sent to death in vain.
Soon, more than a dozen guards pounced on him and trapped Yu Fuluo, who had fallen into a frenzy. A bearded guard grabbed Yu Fuluo's head with both hands and shouted, "We're defeated!" You can't die! As long as you can get back to the steppe, you can gather the army again! If you die here, there's nothing! ”
The guard's vigorous shouting succeeded in recovering Yu Fuluo from his madness. Yu Fuluo, whose eyes turned back to clarity, took a deep look at the Shura battlefield in the distance, bit his lip tightly, and let the red blood stains flow down the corners of his mouth. His eyes were round like copper bells, and he said word by word, "Today's revenge, he will repay it a hundred times more every day!" ”
"The Huns are no longer good." Gao Yang shook his wrist. The voice said calmly: "The current Xiongnu is no longer the Xiongnu of the Siege of Baideng. They are now just a group of herders. ”
"Isn't that bad?". Origin asked curiously.
Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth, shook the horsewhip in his hand casually, and said softly, "I feel that it is best only if these people are all dead." ”
After speaking, he suddenly waved the horsewhip in his hand and shouted loudly, "Attack!" ”
The impatient rangers who had been waiting for a long time responded with a roar, screaming and shaking their horses and spurring their horses to gallop out, chasing the fleeing Hun cavalry. These are all heads, and they are all war exploits!
The trap camp is a hoplite who moves on a war horse. Pursue the fleeing enemy. In particular, it was too difficult for them to pursue the scattered cavalry. This is the time for the rangers, who have their own armed horses and food, to go into battle. Isn't it just for this time that they worked hard with the army?
The trapping camp began to retract and returned to the vicinity of the convoy to continue the defense. The auxiliaries quickly stepped forward, brandishing their sabers to behead the Huns who were dead or not yet dead, while digging through the corpses and searching for goods. Take away the horses that are still usable. As for dead horses and seriously injured horses, they naturally became a meat supply. Even the tattered sheepskin jackets that smelled of weird odor were collected.
After cleaning the battlefield, the auxiliaries casually threw all the headless Huns to both sides of the avenue. When night falls, the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests will naturally clean up all these corpses.
Except for a few sentries who remained on the periphery of the convoy, hundreds of rangers roared forward in pursuit of the scattered Huns. The fleet began to regroup. Keep going.
Gao Yang sent a messenger to spread the news of the encounter with the Xiongnu cavalry to Niu Fu and Hu Zhen. Since you are in the army, you naturally have to abide by the rules of the army.
More than an hour later, the rangers who pursued the Xiongnu rout army were in groups. Laughing back. Most of these people were tied to bloody heads or ears, and there were many ownerless war horses beside them, and many of them had messy things hanging on their bodies. Everything from blankets to sheepskin jackets.
The next day, after Gao Yang escorted the convoy to Niu Fu's front-line camp, Niu Fu personally came to greet him. The basis of everything in the army is your strength! In the first battle of Gaoyang, thousands of Hun cavalry were defeated and more than 1,000 were beheaded, and no one should want to erase such an achievement. It is enough for a lord like Niu Fu to greet him personally.
After handing over the grain, Gao Yang quickly escorted the convoy back again. On the way, he met a messenger who was on his way to the front camp to report the news. Only then did I know that those white wave thieves waited left and right last night without waiting for the Huns to come to converge, and launched a desperate raid on the logistics camp before dawn!
Originally, Hu Zhen had strengthened the vigilance in the camp after receiving Gao Yang's warning to prevent night attacks. But as it approached dawn, there was no movement, and the remaining sergeants quickly slackened off and prepared to fetch water for breakfast. Then they were met by the elite assault of the White Wave Thief!
The 2,000 soldiers who stayed behind in the logistics battalion to take care of the grain and grass were the worst in combat effectiveness in the whole army. As for the large number of auxiliaries and civilians, once they encountered chaos, not only did they not play a supporting role, but on the contrary, they stimulated chaos on a larger scale.
More than 3,000 brave White Wave thieves raided the logistics camp, lit fires everywhere, and burned most of the grain. The whole camp was stirred into a pot of porridge, and at least a thousand people were able to escape after dawn.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Gao Yang suddenly waved the horsewhip in his hand and slammed it on a carriage beside him. Hu Zhen, this idiot! Obviously he has been warned, why is he still successfully attacked? That's it, or the general in the Xiliang Army? All the years of experience in the conquest have been fed to the dogs?! If the army has no food and grass, how can it fight?
What Gao Yang didn't know was that the white wave thieves who raided the logistics camp were all carefully selected and the bravest bandits. They were not afraid of death, and they rushed to the barracks with fire-burning objects tied to their bodies. Ignoring those sharp arrows like rain, he forced a passage with human life.
When the bandits of the White Wave Thieves rushed into the camp, the people immediately blew up the camp, and in the darkness before dawn, they made a mess of the defenders' military formation, which greatly helped the White Wave Thieves.
And Hu Zhen, who commanded the sergeant to resist, was wounded by a sharp arrow! Incapacitated on the spot. It is already an extremely rare thing that the dragons can still keep some of the grain and straw without a leader, and leave behind most of the white wave thieves who attacked the camp.
Gao Yang immediately ordered the whole army to return quickly. The convoy and the people were all handed over to the auxiliaries to escort and slowly toss along the road, and the carriage of the convoy was useless at this time.
Gao Yang took the trapping camp and the rangers to drive the horses back quickly. He was very worried about whether his state army camp would be affected, but there was a third of the power in his hands at the moment!
It didn't take long for Gao Yang, whose brows were tightly locked, to meet another group of messengers. This wave of messengers did not go to Niu Fu, but to find Gao Yang.
"Huh? beheaded Yang Feng and arrested Xu Huang?! After listening to the messenger's return, Gao Yang asked in surprise.
After the logistics battalion was attacked, Gao Shun, who stayed in the state military camp, immediately ordered the army to be reorganized for battle. After dawn, this force, which was only a few hundred cavalry, under the command of Gao Shun, quickly caught up with the fleeing white wave thieves.
An infantry that had just experienced a fierce battle, lost most of its losses, and had reached the peak of mental and physical exhaustion, was suddenly met with a fierce pursuit of hundreds of cavalry. The result is predictable.
The White Wave Thieves put up a stubborn and desperate resistance. It's just that it's daylight, and they don't form a strong spear formation, nor do they have a powerful bow and crossbow to fire. In the face of elite cavalry, it can only be slaughtered.
Yang Feng, who led the army, and hundreds of white wave thieves were killed, and the remaining living people couldn't do anything, and soon chose to surrender under the leadership of Yang Feng's general Xu Huang. Gao Shun sent a messenger to Gao Yang to ask what to do.
"This is Xu Huang, the fifth good general on the same level as Zhang Liao, you don't want to kill him, do you?" Seeing that Gao Yang had been silent for a long time and hadn't made a judgment, he couldn't help but ask out with curiosity: "I've read a lot of materials, doesn't it say that the favorite thing for modern people to do in this era is to collect such civil and military generals?" Xu Huang now took the initiative to surrender, what are you still hesitating about? ”
Gao Yang shook his head slightly, and said calmly, "No matter who he is, a thief is a thief." It's not like you haven't seen what the people here have become like by these thieves. Why can he do whatever he wants with a little ability? Say that surrender can save your life? Do these people deserve what they have suffered?! ”
"Well, you can decide for yourself." Origin said helplessly. He felt that he might have been playing too much of the game and had failed to distinguish the difference between reality and virtuality. Along the march, I have seen too many miserable scenes on the way, even if the origin is only intelligent AI, it will have sympathy for those people who have suffered misery.
Forgive the thieves who do evil, maybe those heroes who are unruly for the sake of the great cause can do it, but it definitely does not include Gao Yang! After knowing each other for so many years, the origin knows Gao Yang's character very well, that is, there are clear grievances!
If Xu Huang really sat down for his evil deeds, Gao Yang would never let him go! (To be continued......)
