Although in the process of charging, there were many war horses because they stepped on the trap and fell, but there were still many Hun cavalry struggling to break through, approaching the vicinity of the camp, and firing arrows into the camp, but the number of the army was not much, and at this time the Fan Yong army was not in the army, all relying on the back of the Wei army and the scout army, and even most of the female soldiers were on the front line, but that's it, there were only more than 600 bows and crossbows that could be used, and this was because there were a batch of Mo family brothers, otherwise it would be less. And there are less than 50,000 arrows.

Although the number of the Bailing tribe is quite large, there are not many bows and arrows, because the Bailing people hunt too easily, and they don't need bows and arrows in the first place, so the number of bows and arrows shot by the Dai army is indeed limited, although there are eight thunderbolts and five bed crossbows, but they still can't stop the advance of the Xiongnu army.

However, under the long-range attack of the trap and the Dai army, there are not many Hun soldiers who can get close to the Dai camp after all, and the Dai army has built a barrier and a bunker with vehicles and wooden fences, so the bow and arrow of the Hun army does not cause much damage to the Dai army, as long as it is not injured in a fatal part, it will be immediately carried to the camp in the valley and let the women and children of the Bailing tribe treat it.

But about ten steps away from the defense line of the Dai Army, there is a trench more than one zhang wide, this width is nothing for war horses, that is, ordinary war horses can jump over, but it is different when a Shigi moment horse is added to the trench. Shigi lay diagonally in the trench, about five feet forward, more than three feet above the ground, and it was impossible to cross Shigi and then the trench except for a very few specially trained horses.

As a result, some war horses could not retract their feet, and hit Shiki headlong, and even people and horses were used to Shigi through their bodies, and some war horses jumped in the air, although they could jump over Shiki, but they fell into the trench headlong, and only fell to the head and bleed. Of course, there were also many Hun soldiers who reined in their horses and stopped in front of Shikiki.

And at this moment, I saw countless javelins projected from the Dai army array, shooting at the Hun soldiers. Many of the Hun soldiers who stopped their horses in front of Shigi could not avoid the javelins, and suddenly fell from their horses in pieces, like autumn leaves.

In order to make up for the lack of bows and arrows, the Dai army made a large number of javelins during the preparation, although these javelins did not have bronze or iron spear heads, but only sharpened one end, and the lethality was much worse than that of javelins with metal spear heads, plus the Bailing people were only temporarily trained for a few days, and they were far from being compared with the soldiers of the Dai Army, so the lethality was only more than 20 paces away.

But now the two sides are only more than ten steps apart, and the Hun soldiers have no armor, as long as they can hit part of the part, even if they don't die, they will be wounded, and because the distance is close, the accuracy is much more accurate, so it still causes considerable lethality to the Hun soldiers. This, of course, is also an important reason why the Dai army dug a trench more than ten steps in front of the defensive line.

At this time, the six arrow-killing vehicles arranged on the defense line also began to shoot, although each arrow-killing vehicle only had four small crossbows and a large crossbow, but because the arrow magazine was used for arrows, the rate of fire was very fast, and it was four small crossbows set up in the car, and twelve crossbow arrows were installed in the arrow box, and the average shooter could shoot these twelve crossbow arrows in one minute.

And although the range of this small crossbow is not large, but now the distance between the two sides is too close, which is not a weakness at all, and the advantage of the fast rate of fire of the small crossbow is to the fullest, so the crossbow arrows are shot from the shooting hole to the Huns one after another, and countless Hun soldiers are shot by arrows.

Although many Hun soldiers found that the source of these crossbow arrows was shot from a strange-shaped vehicle, so the Hun soldiers also shot arrows at the arrow car, but the baffle of the arrow car was made of more than two inches of thick wooden boards, and the general bow and arrow were difficult to penetrate at all, only four archery holes about one inch high and about one foot wide were left in front of the front and on both sides, although the Huns were all good archers, but it was still extremely difficult to prepare the arrow to shoot through such a small hole.

As a result, the Hun soldiers were blocked on the edge of the trench, although they were only more than ten steps away from the defense line of the Dai army, right in front of their eyes, but they could not break through, and could only fall in rows on the edge of the trench, or fall into the trench. Although a very small number of cavalry were lucky enough to jump over the trench from the gap in the spine wood and rushed to the defense line of the Dai army, in front of the defense line, there was still a row of horses to resist horses, and the distance from the back of the trench to the front of the defense line was the key protection place of the Dai army.

Plateau watched the progress of the war on the high platform, and couldn't help but be very disdainful of the tactics of the Hun army, although the Huns are a nation on horseback, everyone is a brave and good warrior, but the ability to attack the fortification and the attack on the offensive skills are extremely poor, for the trenches are arranged, and the position of a solid defensive line has been established, and the attack is bold, not to mention the light cavalry that is almost unprotected against the Hun army, even the heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor is also only to die. It was only possible to fill the trenches with infantry first, and break through a few gaps in the line of defense, and then assault with cavalry.

If it is only a light cavalry army, it must not attack the defensive line positions that have been arranged head-on, but move back from the flank, look for loopholes in the defensive line, or attack the food convoy and cut off the logistical supply, so that the enemy can no longer hold on, and the defense line is loosened before launching an attack.

However, such tactics are indeed too difficult for the Xiongnu army, firstly, because the Xiongnu army and the Chinese Han have not yet fully confronted, and the tactics of the Chinese army are defensive tactics and lack of experience; Second, it was also the cavalry tactics of this era that began to develop, not to mention the Chinese countries, even the Huns on horseback, did not have a mature system of cavalry tactics, and did not know the tactics of using cavalry in various environments, but only relied on the nomadic warrior instinct to fight.

Of course, there is also an important reason, that is, the Xiongnu army does not have the concept of logistics supply at all, and the army in this era has sufficient food and grass, so if the two sides fight to consume, it is the Xiongnu army that cannot hold it in the first place.

As a result, the Hun army suffered a large number of casualties on the edge of the trenches, and the corpses of men and horses piled up, almost forming a piece, and a large amount of blood gushed out, completely covering the ground.

However, in the position, there were also some soldiers and Bailing people who were injured by the arrows fired by the Xiongnu, and although the wounded were immediately taken to the valley for treatment, several people were shot in fatal parts and died on the spot.

Although the Hun soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and there is a heavy reward for the encouragement, but at this time, can not help but begin to waver, after all, now the Hun soldiers are blocked in the trenches, it is difficult to move forward, although the reward is tempting, but it is also necessary to have a life to enjoy it, and the current battle situation can not break into the defense line of the army at all, so there are also many Hun soldiers feel that the gas is good, so some people began to pull their horses and retreat, and soon everyone also pulled out their horses and retreated, and after a while, they all withdrew from the battlefield, Only the corpses of men and horses were left in one place, and some seriously injured and undead horses and personnel were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

This attack did not last long, less than an hour, and the 5,000 men and horses of the Hun army retreated to the array, and only less than 3,000 remained, and nearly half were wounded. When the other Hun soldiers in the array saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked, the defense of the Dai army was indeed too strong.

In order to consume the arrows of the Dai army, the Hun army prepared 10,000 horses, divided into two groups to attack the position of the Dai army, after the first batch of 5,000 troops to fight, the remaining 5,000 people were still a little angry, because they were not the first to fight, so it is very likely that they will not be able to grab the first to attack the position of the Dai army, and now seeing the results of the first batch of 5,000 troops, many people are secretly glad in their hearts, fortunately, they did not send themselves to fight, otherwise they will not be able to come back, it is really difficult to say.

And the faces of the leaders of the other departments are also a little ugly, although yesterday it was said that the soldiers who went out to fight today are used for consumption, but seeing the heavy casualties of the Hun army on the battlefield, I am afraid that no one will feel uncomfortable.

Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan glanced at each other, and they didn't expect that the development of the war would be such a result, judging from the process of the battle just now, the Dai army did not shoot many bows and arrows, which also proved that Fu Gongyan's judgment was correct, the Dai army did not carry many bows and arrows, although there were still a few trebuchets and bed crossbows in the Dai army array, which was somewhat unexpected by the two, but because of the small number, it did not play a big role and what the two really did not expect was that the Dai army dug a seemingly inconspicuous trench in front of the defense line, It actually blocked the road of the Hun cavalry to break through, although it cannot be said that it is difficult to leap a step, but it is also very difficult to break through, and the army also used a large number of simple javelins to make up for the lack of bows and arrows, and the result was that the Hun army suffered heavy casualties, not to mention, the goal of consuming the arrows of the army was obviously not achieved.

Mao Dun said, "Mr. Fugong, what should we do now?" ”

Although Fu Gongyan's heart was also a little bottomless, at this time, Fu Gongyan could not deny his plan, so he could only stand up to the end, so he said: "Shan Yu, now we still have to follow the plan agreed yesterday, send the second batch of troops out again, and consume their arrows." ”

At this time, Ke Ban said: "Mr. Fugong, if you continue to attack like this, I'm afraid that the casualties will be too great, and before the arrows of the Dai army are exhausted, our army will probably die." ”

Ge Zhuo also said: "Yes, everyone saw just now, the Dai army cut a large number of wooden poles as throwing guns, which can make up for their lack of arrows, even if they shoot the arrows, they can still use throwing guns instead, I think we should collect the troops and return to the camp, and then discuss another way." ”
