Volume 1 The Fierce Wind Rises Chapter 34 The Battle of the Bridge (5)
The Jin army was about three miles from the headquarters of the Huns, and each side occupied a plateau with higher terrain. Therefore, when the Huns sent troops to outflank the right flank and tried to break through the reeds that blocked between the two armies, the Jin people saw it clearly. The strength of this army was about half of the Xiongnu headquarters, about 500 people. The warriors were dressed in the traditional felt clothes of the Huns, and most of them were covered with leather armor. Among them, there were dozens of them, wearing crowns of crests with feathers and iron armor, and they were obviously warriors of great status. They held high heavy weapons such as lances and axes, and their steps were uniform. There is no doubt that these are the basic forces that Liu Jing relied on to start his family, and they are the elite soldiers of the Xiongnu tribe.
The force was quickly submerged in the reeds, and large areas of reeds could be seen swaying and lodging, showing that they were wading through the water at great speed.
"My lord! They're coming! Xu Run couldn't help but tighten the reins: "It's here!" Here it comes! ”
Liu Kun glanced at Xu Run, and struck the palm of his left hand with a horsewhip, making a crisp sound of "snap": "Lu Yao is right, this Liu Jing is really a fierce and timid person." ”
"How so?"
"Zhiquan, you see, the war has developed so far, just as the cauldron is wrecked, and the winner is a decisive battle; But he hesitated, and only sent 500 men to attack our Chinese army. Liu Kun sneered again and again: "Five hundred people can help a lot." Even though he saw that our Chinese army was weak, after all, I had 1,500 troops here, and the main general was personally in charge, where could 500 people be able to shake it? These 500 people were sent to death in vain. ”
"What's more......" Liu Kun raised his whip and pointed in the direction of the reeds.
In the next moment, dozens of Jin army flags were erected at the same time in the reeds, and the sound of killing shook the sky!
"The Art of War: Don't worry about it, you have to wait for it!" Liu Kun laughed loudly and was full of spirit!
As the 1,500 people of Liu Kun's Chinese army, except for the more than 200 people who held flags in the front row, Liu Kun's subordinates were corporals, and the more than 1,000 people who followed were all dressed as old and weak homeless people.
As early as late yesterday night, the nearly 2,000 new troops formed in the reorganization of Micheng had sneaked into this boundless reeds in batches. They have been lurking for so long in silence, just to give them a heavy blow when the enemy general thinks they have found a flaw in their side!
The equipment of the Forces nouvelles was generally poor, with only a few of them armed with swords, and most of them used crude weapons, some even with wooden clubs; They also did not have good military training, and those who originally belonged to the defeated soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were better, and the displaced people who had just joined the army had not yet completed the basic training of advancing and retreating the golden drum.
However, in this reed swing, there are puddles, pools, and undercurrents of different depths, and the terrain is extremely complex, and there are also reeds and limited vision. Here, the excellent weapons of the Xiongnu could not be used, and the combat cooperation was difficult to achieve, and the advantages of the Hu people were greatly concealed. And the Jin army has the advantage in numbers, and it is even more surprising to the enemy! The new troops shouted and swarmed out not far from the Xiongnu ranks, and instantly surrounded them on all sides, mixing with the Huns.
Gao Xiang brandished a long knife, tread water and rushed forward, chopping down three Huns who had been killed one after another. A third Hun man in iron armor and an iron shield approached from his right, and Gao Xiang shouted and waved his knife with his backhand. The long knife collided violently with the sturdy iron shield, and suddenly burst apart. Undaunted, Gao Xiang jumped forward, struggled to hold the Hun man's shield-holding hand and twisted, throwing the enemy into the pool.
His bravery attracted the attention of the enemy, and more Huns came out of the dense reeds and ran towards him. Gao Xiang had no weapons, so he could only roar and retreat backwards. At this time, He Yun came from the rear, his injuries had not yet healed, and he could not fight in close combat, so he took his bow in his hand very early and shot from a distance. Seeing that Gao Xiang was in danger, He Yun fired arrows again and again. The first arrow penetrated through the front door of the Hu man, the second and third arrows missed, and the fourth arrow hit a Hu man who rushed over, injuring his right leg and rolling to the ground.
He Yun bought this time, and Gao Xiang had already taken a big knife from the corpse casually. The Hu man in iron armor had just crawled out of the waterhole and was waving his hand to wipe his face, but he was stabbed in the neck by Gao Xiang, and blood spurted wildly. Gao Xiang stabbed several times in succession, and finally cut off the neck of the Hu man. He raised the head of the Hu man high, brandished a big knife, and roared like a beast: "Kill Hu! Kill Hu! ”
With his hoarse and desolate roar, more people shouted: "Kill Hu!" Kill Hu! Kill Hu! ”
From the first year of Yongxing to the present, it has been three years since the soldiers of Bingzhou have shouted this battlefield slogan! In the past three years, countless soldiers have spilled their blood on the battlefield, but all they have ushered in is that their homes have been turned into ruins and their relatives have been slaughtered; Defeat after failure, as if there was a terrible nightmare that never ended, made the soldiers of the state breathless...... But now, they have seen the dawn of victory!
"Kill Hu! Kill Hu! Kill Hu! ”
The remnants of the state army chanted, and the displaced homeless people chanted. In the deafening shouts, the soldiers of the Jin army were like crazy demons and launched wave after wave of attacks!
Gao Xiang didn't know that the Jiahu man he killed was Liu Jingai's general, who was responsible for leading 500 people through the reed swamp. With the death of Wuhe, the Huns gradually became disorganized. More and more people have lost their fighting spirit and have begun to flee in a hurry. The Jin people, with their superior forces, divided and surrounded the Huns in every corner of the reeds, and soon killed them all.
And when some scattered Huns escaped from the reeds, the news of the defeat also penetrated the ears of more miscellaneous soldiers. The Zahu soldiers, who were entangled with the enemies of the Jin army's armored cavalry and spearmen, also began to panic. At this time, although there were still a few warriors shouting loudly to stabilize their position, the army was already declining.
"Hit the mark!" Liu Jing witnessed the change in the battle situation and shouted wildly in his heart.
It turned out that the Jin army's previous entanglement and the Chinese army's fear and reluctance to advance were just bait set for themselves. From the very beginning, the goal of the Jin people was not those miscellaneous hus, but the most precious elite of the Xiongnu tribe on their side! Hateful! Hateful!
Having experienced a hundred battles, he could see clearly, and knew that the general situation had been decided, and the collapse of the battle situation was only a moment.
"Prepare to withdraw." Liu Jing said slowly, with the collapse of the elite soldiers of the Xiongnu headquarters, his spirit seemed to have been consumed a lot, and his voice was so low that he could hardly hear it clearly: "The warriors of the Xiongnu Xubu clan have shed enough blood. Now, while those Xi and Liang people can still drag the Jin army for us, we ...... Withdraw. ”
He turned to beat his horse and left the battlefield without looking back.
After a while, the Zahu warriors noticed something unusual, and their questions began to be transmitted: "What about the general?" "Why is the general missing?" At first, it was just like the ripples caused by small stones entering the water, but without spinning, it turned into a monstrous wave: "The general has escaped!" "The general left us and fled on his own!"
Husband war courage also. On the battlefield, the two armies faced the enemy head-on, and the decisive victory was not won by the number of people or equipment, but by the confidence and determination to win.
The vacillation of the Hu people was immediately reflected in the situation of the battlefield, and Ling Husheng, who was old and spicy, would certainly not miss the fighter. The old general led the last of the fresh troops to the front of the formation, shouting a fierce battle, with several swords in his hands, and immediately forced the enemy troops in front of him to retreat one after another.
When Liu Kun's more than 1,000 Chinese troops, who had never moved like a mountain, were also clamoring for a big march, no one of the Hu people had the will to fight. The soldiers soon began to turn around and flee, discarding their scepters and flags, and scurrying in groups behind them. The defeat of this deputy army is similar to the scene after the decisive battle between the Jin army and the Xiongnu in Daling a few months ago, except that the winner and the loser happened to fall by one.
The road to the north of the bridge was filled with smoke and dust, and everywhere were Huns who had lost their armor and fled for their lives. The Jin army was chasing and killing all the way, just like a hunter on the grassland calmly chasing a herd fleeing in a panic. Occasionally, when the Hu people wanted to gather, the armored cavalry led by Ding Miao, Lu Yao and others would not hesitate to move forward and scatter them fiercely.
