Chapter 622: The Battle of Dachaigou (II)
The shield-holding swords and shields were still rolling on the ground, and the shields provided them with safe protection, even if the horses' hooves stepped on them, they would not cause fatal damage, but these swords and shields, holding sharp steel knives, flashed in the cold light, and directly slashed the horse's legs. The slender legs of the horse were simply vulnerable in front of the sharp steel knife, and the war horse neighed in pain, and then carried it headlong, unable to get up again.
As for these Xianbei riders who fell to the ground, there is no doubt that they have become ghosts under the sword, and perhaps they have not understood what is going on until they die.
In fact, it is very simple, this is another magic weapon for Liu Yin to deal with cavalry in addition to the partial van - the Rolling Hall Knife Method.
The essence of the Rolling Hall knife method is to roll on the ground and cut the horse's legs, but behind this seemingly simple approach, it is not something that ordinary people can master. Liu Yin arranged for Ah Jian to train this batch of rolling hall knife hands, all of them are masters of art and courage, in the chaos of the army, under the hooves of thousands of horses, without a good psychological quality, they are not qualified for this rolling hall knife hands.
This Rolling Hall knife hand can be called a secret weapon against the cavalry, of course, its application range also has certain limitations, can only be used for the road is relatively narrow, can only accommodate three or five war horses side by side through the road section, if it is an endless plain area, the use of these knife hands may not be able to surprise soldiers, after all, ten thousand horses galloping, after all, it is not a small range of combat can be used by the Rolling Hall knife hand, to deal with such a large scene, of course, it is still affordable to use a side car.
Of course, today's terrain is very appropriate to use the Rolling Hall knife hand, the narrow area brings a little difficulty to the Shu infantry to deploy the chariot array, but it also limits the scale of the Xianbei cavalry's attack, the longitudinal road is not spacious, and the horizontal fork is not necessarily rich, the best situation is that four horses can be on the same side.
It was this kind of terrain that the Rolling Hall Knife Hands took advantage of to cut off the front legs of the Xianbei war horses that rushed to the front, and one by one the war horses fell, which could completely cut off their own attack.
The archers rushed forward without losing any time, and counterattacked along the gap, and the sharp arrows became a hindrance to the advance of the Xianbei soldiers in an instant, and countless Xianbei cavalry died under the dense rain of arrows.
The two sides continued to fight fiercely around cutting off and counter-cutting, encirclement and counter-encirclement, and the Xianbei people were surprised to find that no matter how crazy they attacked, the Shu army could always stabilize the battle situation in an orderly manner, and the goal of tearing apart and dividing the Shu army turned out to be a little out of reach.
Far away twenty miles away on the Maomao Mountain, the bald tree function is pale, originally he had already calculated everything, but in the end there is always a feeling of falling short, although the Xianbei cavalry occupies an absolute advantage in numbers, but has never been able to transform this advantage into victory, the narrow terrain of the firewood ditch, is not only a great inhibitor of the Shu army formation, but it also makes the Xianbei cavalry's attack very weak, once the front is blocked, even if there are more men and horses behind, it can not be joined.
Because the Shu army has a rolling knife hand, completely hindered the attack of the Xianbei cavalry, the biggest advantage of the cavalry is the impact power, and after the attack is blocked, the impact force is gone, such an attack is weak, and the well-prepared Shu army does not pose any threat.
Liu Yin didn't have any intention of fighting, and used a small number of troops to block the Xianbei cavalry, while the men and horses of the brigade crossed the ditch at the fastest speed.
Out of the firewood ditch, it is a flat land, it should be an oasis, after the Shu army entered this oasis, it immediately re-arranged, and continued to put out the iron bucket array, in order to resist the continued attack of the Xianbei people, on the battlefield, there is no winner or loser, and the battle will not stop.
"Great Chief, do you want to send troops to continue the pursuit?" Ruo Luo Bao Neng looked at the Shu army that broke through with some regret, and said to the bald tree.
The bald tree function did not open its mouth, leaving the firewood ditch, and there was a boundless wall in front of it, the Shu army had already completed the gathering there again, forming a complete defensive formation, for the bald tree function, the opportunity has been missed, if it continues to attack at this time, it will inevitably make the senseless losses of the Xianbei cavalry even greater.
"Give the order to go down and stop the attack." The bald tree function is a little helpless.
"No." If Luo Pai can take the command and go.
The Xianbei cavalry came like a shower, went like a gale, tens of thousands of troops, said to disappear in less than half an hour, and disappeared without a trace, only the remains of horses and soldiers on the ground seemed to tell people that a tragic battle had just ended.
"Just gone, it's not like the style of a bald tree." Seeing that the battlefield was calm in an instant, Fu Zhao said with some surprise.
Liu Yin smiled and said: "The bald tree function originally thought that it could trap us in Dachaigou, but unfortunately he was one trick behind, and he would never be able to get any advantage if he continued to fight, so he simply withdrew." ”
Fu Zhao said with some regret: "If the cavalry is here, they must not be allowed to go so calmly, and I don't know what happened to General Luo and them now?" ”
Infantry against cavalry, the biggest disadvantage is that they can't grasp the initiative on the battlefield, even if the Xianbei cavalry is defeated badly, they can easily get out of the battlefield with the advantage of speed, but think about the 40,000 cavalry has gone deep into the rear of the Xianbei people, and when they completely destroy the Xianbei people's nest, that is the real merit is complete.
However, the Hanhai Desert is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to transmit news, and Luo Xian and Yao Yikang's cavalry corps have not sent back news since they divided their troops, and they don't know anything about the extent of the war over there.
Gao Yuan quickly reported the details of the battle of Dachaigou, the Xianbei people suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the Shu army suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
The second attack of the bald tree function ended in failure, and the Xianbei people no longer have any ability to stop the advance of the Shu army to Wuwei, and the next road to Guzang is a smooth road, even if the Xianbei people try their best to attack, this is also irrelevant to the overall situation, and the powerful deterrent effect of the van car makes the Xianbei people dare not regain the idea of fighting.
For several months, the bald tree function has never captured Guzang, and now Liu Yin's infantry corps has arrived at the city of Guzang, and what the defenders in the city will do, all this is still unknown. (To be continued.) )
