Chapter 83: The Battle of Jinyang (19)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
I have to admit that the difference in strength between the two sides is really huge, which makes the willingness of the soldiers of the Jin army to fight quite low. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Many of the township soldiers were playing drums in their hearts, so a discerning person could see that the formation seemed a little loose at a glance. If it weren't for the fact that 6 Yao temporarily sent a number of soldiers to be mixed into the township army as the backbone, I am afraid that many people would turn around and flee on the spot.
But seeing that ten times the enemy was showing off his might in front, even those old soldiers under 6 Yao's subordinates couldn't help but be frightened. Originally under Gao Xiang's command, Zhao Lu, a veteran who was recently transferred to 6 Yao's direct subordinates, is the case. He felt that his throat was dry, and he even had some difficulty breathing, so he coughed violently a few times before he recovered. Seeing that the Hu people's ranks were becoming denser, he held his spear tightly with both hands, and tried his strength with his right foot in the hollow of the ground; He then bowed down again, ensuring that his body was completely covered by the wooden fence in the first row of the military formation.
As a soldier who survived dozens of battles, he will have his unique ability to save his life. Zhao Lu was nervously making the final preparations for battle, but his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the right side of the military formation. He had chosen an escape route in the high ground through the rocks. In case the war is unfavorable, as long as he runs along this route, it will be difficult for the Hu people's cavalry or crossbowmen to threaten him.
Zhao Lu's gaze retracted from a distance fell on a young soldier beside him. This young man was thin, perhaps because he was afraid of the enemy's momentum, and his face was a little pale, it was Mu Lan, the head of Zhao Lu's team.
After the defeat of the Bingzhou army a few months ago, Zhao Lu and Mu Lan were among the defeated soldiers who looked like flies without their heads. The two fled the battlefield together, and did not return to the army until Yue Shigong marched into Jinyang. It is also strange to say that Zhao Lu and Mu Lan are not fellow villagers, and they are much older than each other, so they are particularly close to each other. Although Mu Lan had been promoted to a senior with his good performance in military training, Zhao Lu still often regarded this upright young man as his junior.
Zhao Lu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Boy, what if you have something in a while...... Follow me! If you keep up closely, you can live, you know? Don't be stupid, just rush forward! ”
Unexpectedly, Mu Lan glared at him, and replied angrily: "Where there is a battlefield of soldiers, a place where corpses stand, if you die, you will live, and if you are lucky, you will die!" ”
Zhao Lu looked at Mu Lan blankly: "What are you talking about?" Is this something Chinese? Why can't I understand? ”
Mu Lan had been taught by the Xuan Order with the elders in the township, and was one of the only few soldiers in the 6 Yao Army who could read and hyphenate, and in the previous military training, he was seen by 6 Yao along with Zhu Sheng and others. 6 Yao attaches great importance to these people, and often communicates with them outside of training, and considers them to be the general's protégé. Therefore, Mu Lan blurted out the art of war described by 6 Yao, which is ordinary. The problem is that these words are too profound to the ears of a veteran who can't read a single word.
Mu Lan gritted his teeth and said: "This is taught by General 6, which means that on the battlefield, only by sacrificing death and forgetting life can there be a way to live; If you are greedy for life and afraid of death like you, uncle, you will definitely die! ”
Zhao Lu couldn't help but be angry: "You bird, bad luck!" Why are you so heartless when I take care of you so much in vain......"
Zhao Lu was really angry, and he could scold for three days and three nights. But this time, he only said a few words, and the killing sound in front of him was loud, and the Hu people went on the offensive.
Although the array during the march was quite strong, the Hu people were still chaotic when they rushed to kill. As the Chinese army sounded the horn, a team of about three or five hundred people shouted and shouted, regardless of the difference between long and short soldiers, and rushed towards the array of the Jin army.
Some people in the team even opened their bows and shot arrows indiscriminately, and the arrows hit the erected wooden fence, popping and popping. Some arrows penetrated through the gaps in the wooden fence and hit several Jin soldiers. Fortunately, the bow used by the Hu people is a long-tip angle bow used for riding and shooting, and the range and power are mediocre, even if you shoot, as long as you don't hit the vital point directly, it is not a big problem. The archers of the Jin army immediately fired back, and the two sides went back and forth for a few rounds, and several people were hit by arrows in each.
The Jin soldiers took advantage of the cover of the wooden fence, and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows were far fewer than the Hu people. And Hu is brave and brave, unless he is in the middle of the point, he will not stop charging at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Hu people were approaching. They screamed like torrents crashing into a dam. The first group of wrestlers armed with swords and axes began to chop the wooden fence under the cover of their shields.
There are a total of three wooden fences in front of Tuanbai Valley, and they retreat one by one along the direction of the road. At this moment, the Hu people are approaching the first way. The fence was made of logs cut down in the nearby forests, and although the structure was poor, it was very strong. Hu Ren chopped down axe after axe for a long time, only to see bark, sawdust and the like flying sideways, but in a short period of time there was no result. On the contrary, the Jin army stabbed out with spears through the wooden fence, and stabbed several knife and axe men to death one after another.
Hu is a light life and is good at death, but if he is killed or injured by anyone, others don't care about it. Sometimes, he simply stepped on the bodies of the dead and wounded forward, picked up the sharp blades and axes that fell to the ground, and continued to attack the wooden fence. Some of them were even more athletic, so they came to slash the body of the Jin army's spear.
Mu Lan bent his waist and aimed at the gap in the wooden fence, and saw Lengzi poke the spear out, and after injuring several people one after another, suddenly the handle of the gun was pulled out violently. He was caught off guard, and his whole body was dragged over, and his forehead slammed against the wood, and his head bounced back with blood. He is fighting excitedly, where will he feel pain? He shouted and rushed forward again, but he could not swing his spear. When I looked closely, the spear had been cut off, and the cut was no more than an inch from the palm of my hand. After thinking about it, I realized that if it weren't for the wooden fence that blocked me, I was afraid that my arm would have been removed.
At the moment of luck, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting: "Be careful! Before the words fell, Mu Lan only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was immediately pounced on by a tall and strong bearded man who fell from the sky.
It turned out that the Hu people had learned to be obedient at this time, and first took a few sword and shield bearers as the lead, and cut off a few spears one after another, and the strength of the Jin army's counterattack in this small area was suddenly frustrated. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they leaned their big shield on the wooden fence, and more than a dozen vigorous warriors took advantage of their strength to climb over the wooden fence and leap straight into the Jin army formation. Unfortunately, Mu Lan was bending down to cover his head, and a fat bearded man jumped on his back, and both of them were unsteady on their feet, and they suddenly rolled into a ball.
The two were too close to each other, and the Hu man smiled fiercely, and the fishy smell came to his face, and the Chinese wanted to vomit. Mu Lan only cared about holding his hands and holding Hu Ren's knife-holding arm, but he couldn't prevent the other hand from being empty, and swung his fist at his chest and beat him indiscriminately. The punch was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it hit Mu Lan with blood from his mouth and nose, and he was about to be killed on the spot. Fortunately, Zhao Lu reacted very quickly, ran over with an oblique stab, and stabbed the back of the heart to take the life of the Hu man. Mu Lan escaped death, only to feel that his hands and feet were weak.
At the same time, the Hu people who jumped into the wooden fence shouted wildly, holding short soldiers and killing them freely. The Jin armies around are close to each other, and they use long weapons that are not effective, how can they resist them? More than a dozen brothers were killed and wounded in an instant, and the array was in chaos. Fortunately, the officer in command, Yang Ruo, was a veteran of the battlefield and very experienced, so he did not hesitate to order the pikemen in the back row to step forward. These pikemen are soldiers who have been trained for months and more than a dozen spears in unison, and you will not survive the whole day, and you will soon stab them all to death.
Although all these brave dead soldiers were killed, they were stirred up for a while, and there was a great omission in the defensive formation of the Jin army along the Muzha. While the pikemen were busy destroying the dead, more Hu men approached the wooden fence. Some continue to cut down with swords and axes; Some people climbed on the wooden fence and waved the weapons in their hands to kill indiscriminately; There are also people who are so strong that they simply shout the trumpet and rush, trying to knock over the wooden fence. And the Jin army immediately organized a counterattack.
Mu Lan lay on the ground and gasped a few times, raising her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Seeing that the enemy was approaching, he picked up a spear on the ground and rushed to the wooden fence again to meet the enemy. In terms of personal courage and will to fight, the Xiongnu warriors were indeed far above the Jin army. However, the two armies fought together, and individual bravery often went unused. At this time, the combat methods cultivated by dozens of pikemen on the Jin army's side in the past month of training showed results.
Taking Mu Lan as an example, after deducting the dead and wounded in the battle in the past few days, there are still six soldiers left. They had a sturdy fighting group of three men; Cooperate closely, divide and attack. The goal of each attack is to kill and wound only one person, and never to fight, and never to fight separately. As soon as the Huns met with them, three spears were picked up at the same time. When defending, the Jin army relied on the cover of the wooden fence on the one hand, and supported each other on the other hand, forcing back the rapid onslaught of the Hu people again and again.
With the good tactical discipline displayed by dozens of spearmen, the Jin army resisted the Hu people to the death. Neither side wanted to retreat, and fought fiercely against each other, and in a short period of time, there were extremely huge casualties.
