Section 818 The Last Zhelan Cavalry (6)
The cuirassiers of the Han army, lined up in a dense formation, swept through the Xiongnu's great array like a hurricane.
In just two minutes, two thousand horsemen rushed through the Huns' military formation at high speed against attacks from all directions.
The Condor banner that once indispensed the Zhelan tribe in Northeast Asia collapsed in the charge of the Han army.
At the same time, the courage, pride and pride of the Zhelan people collapsed!
At the moment when the army fell.
The entire Zhelan army array stared blankly at the Han army cuirassiers who were wielding sabers and raging from their own Chinese army's large array, but they were still unscathed.
Then, there's the big crash!
The Great Collapse first occurred on the right wing of Zhelan.
Here are the attack arrows made up of slaves and shamans.
Originally, they would first attack the middle army of the Han army and use their lives to open the way for the follow-up Zhelan cavalry.
Then, when the iron cavalry of the Han army broke through the military formation of the Zhilan headquarters one after another.
These originally crazy slave soldiers and shamans only felt that a deep-rooted image in their hearts was shattered.
Even the army formation composed of the invincible masters and nobles of the headquarters could not stop the Han Dynasty from colliding!
What about us?
What's more, the invincible status of the Zhelan tribe was directly shattered by the Han Dynasty with three charges.
A lot of people simply can't stand such a blow.
Their three views were completely destroyed.
This is like in World War II in later generations, the neon locust army was indeed crazy, and even shouted for 100 million jade pieces.
However. After Miti planted two love mushrooms in his native land.
The madman instantly turned into a little loli in the comics.
I'm afraid that serving my father is not appropriate enough.
Now, when Zhelan's Chinese army formation was directly broken by the Han cavalry. Even Da Xuan fell, and the king of Zhelan did not know when he was alive or dead.
These people immediately lost all their will to fight.
I don't know who shouted: "The king is dead." Zhelan is defeated! ”
This sentence immediately became an infectious disease even more terrible than the T-virus.
In a short period of time, it was infected with almost all the Zhelan cavalry on the right flank.
Including the slaves and the elite horsemen of the Zhelan headquarters.
So, in the era of cold weapons, the most feared thing of all armies happened.
A large number of cavalry, began to rout.
They further intend the disease of defeat and despair to others on their own.
"The king is dead! Zhelan is defeated! One knight after another, muttering these words with blank eyes, and then, following the deserters, fled for their lives.
The number of these routs was actually not large in the beginning.
There are only a few hundred people.
However. When they began to flee for their lives.
Immediately, the entire Zhelan army formation was torn to pieces.
Then, the snowball began.
Even those Zhelan cavalry who still wanted to resist, still wanted to fight hard, and still wanted to fight, were also coerced by this rout and fled together.
Occasionally, a few nobles who wanted to take military discipline seriously tried to bring their own soldiers to stabilize the order.
However, with the Han cuirassiers who rushed to the back of Zhelan's headquarters, they formed a team again. Make a charge.
The routs screamed in despair, and then, in one swoop, raised the past high. The masters and nobles who didn't even dare to look at them were drowned under the hooves of their horses.
So, when Yizong led the Han army of more than 3,000 horsemen. When they rushed to the front of the Zhelan formation, the Han army went up and down. Stunned, they found that they no longer needed to charge into battle.
The Zhelan themselves collapsed.
This past has shaken the world. A terrifying enemy who sows endless fear and hatred.
In front of the more powerful and invincible ace of the Han army, the cuirassiers, it collapsed.
Everywhere there were scattered Zhelan cavalry.
These routs, in a short instant, rushed all the Zhelan fronts into chaos and never took shape again.
And, what is even more terrifying is that these routs are unorganized and undisciplined.
Some people want to resist, some people want to flee for their lives, and some want to surrender altogether.
Even within the three factions of resistance, flight and surrender, there are countless small factions.
Those who resisted, some wanted to fight the cuirassiers desperately and do the last bloodshed.
There are also realists who feel that going to the cuirass again is tantamount to looking for death, so they should go back and fight with the light cavalry of the Han army, so that at least they can get a few cushions.
The escapists are even more exaggerated.
Some people want to run to the south, where there are the Right Virtuous King, the Lou Fu King, and the Aries King.
But more people just want to go home and return to their home at the foot of Qilian Mountain.
There are even people who think that they can't run away from the south or the north, so they can only run into the mountains in the west and east first, where there are some small roads that can escape back to the grassland.
Even if it is a surrender faction, there are honor surrender factions and surrender factions on the spot.
The so-called honorary surrender faction are some nobles and officers within the Zhelan tribe.
They felt that it was the god-like Han army that defeated them.
To surrender, of course, to surrender to them.
In this way, one's honor and dignity will not be compromised.
There is no shame in surrendering to the gods and soldiers.
Not only is it not shameful, but it is glorious.
It is even more honorable to be a slave of God.
The surrenderers, on the other hand, were slaves, shamans, and some of the lower cavalry who had lost their courage and had no ideas, and only wanted to live.
Their idea is simple.
It's good to live, what honor is not honorable, it doesn't matter at all!
So, in such a complex situation.
The most terrifying thing happened in front of the eyes of the Han army.
In chaos, the Zhelan people, who had lost their organization and order, trampled on each other.
Countless people and countless horses collided with each other.
Countless people have been knocked off their horses or knocked over with their horses.
Then these poor people were trampled into pulp by their own horses.
Even in some areas, these cavalry, began to kill each other.
The fleeing faction, the surrendering faction, and the resistance faction met each other in arms.
Soon the situation became out of control.
…………………………………………
The chaos of the Zhelan people lasted until nightfall.
When the moon rises.
On the battlefield during the day, it was already a mess.
The remains of fallen horses and corpses can be seen everywhere.
The blood dyed the turf of the entire plain purple and black, and countless mosquitoes flew all over the sky.
Bronze collars, meteor hammers, and bronze arrows are scattered on the land within a radius of more than ten miles.
The trump card of the Xiongnu, which once shocked the entire known world and terrified countless peoples, the Zhelan tribe, known as the Shan Yu whip, no longer exists.
The Condor Banner, which was once majestic, followed the Zhelan people to fight in the south and the north, and destroyed countless countries, became the trophy of the Han army.
Together with it, there are countless heads that have become the trophies of the Han army.
Mountains of heads.
Heads with scattered hair and scars on their faces.
There were so many heads that the Han soldiers who were in charge of cutting off the heads couldn't keep up at all.
The righteous rode his horse past the place where the cuirassiers had first charged.
The battlefield in front of him was like hell.
Then the bright starlight, Yizong even saw that on a riding spear, there were actually three Zhelan cavalrymen.
"One will be successful, ten thousand bones will wither......" Yi Zong brewed his feelings a little, and pretended to be a little sad.
However, he immediately smiled slightly: "What do other people have to do with me and the world?" ”
In this battle, the losses of the Han army are very few compared to the huge and brilliant results!
In the whole army, there were no more than 800 killed, but there were a lot of wounded.
The cuirassiers were 2,000 men, wounded more than 900.
But the vast majority of them were cuirass bruises.
These are flesh wounds, just recuperate for a few days.
Only a few unlucky people were hit head-on by the bronze collar and meteor hammer of the Huns, although they didn't feel anything at the time, but as soon as they rested, after removing their armor, they immediately found that their injuries were very serious.
It may even be forced to retire.
But it doesn't matter, the veteran of the cuirassiers, even if his limbs are broken, the Son of Heaven will support him for the rest of his life.
Moreover, such an experienced veteran has no worries about the future at all!
Yi Zong already knew by now that many Simas of the northern and southern armies were now staring feverishly at the dozens of wounded soldiers in cuirass who might be retired.
They became sweethearts.
If you want to form cuirassiers, there is no more suitable person than such an experienced veteran.
The wounded soldiers of other units were also about 2,000 people.
"Tomorrow, after cleaning the battlefield and collecting the corpses, the whole army will retreat to Wuzhou for repair!" Yi Zong ordered to the left and right.
After this battle, the Han army led by him was actually exhausted and could no longer fight.
Moreover, after such a brilliant victory, the whole army also urgently needs to be calm and calm to prevent accidents.
Then, he began to think about how to write a report to Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
