Chapter 743: Breaking the Huns (1)

"Ready-to-go!"

"Whew!"

As the hanging basket fell, the huge arm was rotated for a half, and the net rope connected at the end of the arm also crossed an arc with the rotation of the arm, and threw out five or six ignited stones violently, crossed a small forest, and flew to the camp of the Huns.

And as soon as the flint flew out, someone shouted: "Thunderbolt No. 3, ready to be projected!" ”

"Ready-to-go!"

…………

Standing behind the four giant trebuchets, he watched with great satisfaction as the four trebuchets took turns projecting, throwing pieces of flint into the camp of the Hun army. Although you can't see the scene of the Xiongnu camp from here, it can also be imagined that the Xiongnu camp must have fallen into a state of chaos at this time.

It turned out that Ah Ran Shi Qimo led the army to defeat the Xiongnu's transport team, grabbed the Xiongnu's grain and livestock, and immediately sent a message to the plateau in the camp with flying birds.

After receiving the report from Ah Ran Shi Qimo, Gao Yuan knew that the time had come for a full-scale counterattack against the Xiongnu army, so he immediately dispatched troops and prepared to launch a counterattack against the Xiongnu army tonight.

And this time, the generation army finally used the secret weapon that has been hidden in the snow, the lightning strike car.

The camp of the Xiongnu army is about 20 miles away from the defense line of the Dai army, but the surrounding terrain has been surveyed by the Dai army, and there is a small forest about 300 steps southwest of the Xiongnu camp, which can be used as a place for the deployment of lightning strike vehicles.

So just after the night came, after the plateau arranged all the people and horses, he personally led the heavy armored cavalry and the Beiwei army, as well as more than 100 Mo family disciples, pulled four lightning trucks, set off from the camp, and came to the grove.

The Mo family immediately began to assemble the trebuchet. Although it was in the dark of night, the disciples of the Mo family were already familiar with assembling trebuchets, so it only took half an hour for all four large trebuchets to be assembled.

And Gao Yuan immediately ordered to launch trebuchets and strike at the Xiongnu camp.

The stones used this time are specially treated, and all the stones are chiseled into a spherical shape with a diameter of six or seven inches, weighing between twenty and twenty-five catties, and the surface is polished relatively smooth, so that the air resistance can be reduced as much as possible and the range can be increased when projecting. Five to six stone balls can be thrown at a distance of about 500 paces. And before the projection, these stone balls were poured with oil and lit with fire, so they fell into the Hun camp, as if a fireball fell from the sky, and when it fell there, it burned there.

Because the projection speed of this giant trebuchet is slower than that of ordinary trebuchets, so the plateau lets four giant trebuchets take turns to project, so that although only five or six fireballs can be thrown at a time, it can ensure that the fireballs are continuously projected, forming a continuous blow to the Hun camp, and in the dark night, the Hun soldiers do not know where these flints come from, and some Huns think they have offended the gods, so they immediately became chaotic.

Although after a few rounds of blows, some shrewd Huns also saw the direction of the flint, if it was peacetime, the Hun army could immediately send troops to check it out, but now there was civil strife in the Huns' camp, and they couldn't take care of it at all.

It turned out that Fu Gongyan killed several tribal leaders in Maudun's big tent, and the other tribal leaders escaped from the big tent, and Maudun wanted to take the opportunity to kill other tribal leaders and control their army, but the flint thrown by the army to the Xiongnu camp disrupted Maudun's steps, so that he was flawless for a while to chase and kill other tribal leaders. As a result, the other tribal leaders rushed back to their camps, and immediately gathered their own men and horses, and launched an attack on Maudun's camp despite the flints that fell from the sky.

Because they missed the best opportunity to hunt down the leaders of the tribes, Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan had to command Mao Dun's army to meet the battle, and the two sides immediately fought fiercely, and at this time there were constantly flints falling from the sky, smashing into the Huns' camp, as if it was like adding chaos, although the number of flints was not much, even if it fell, it could not hit a few people, but because the stone ball was on fire, once it hit the tent, vehicles, etc., it would immediately spread the fire, so at this time in the Huns' camp, there were many places where the fire was ignited.

After more than 20 minutes of projection, each of the four trebuchets projected more than ten times, and there were more than 200 stone balls projected, which was a lot, but the Huns had not yet sent people to check on it, which also made the plateau feel very strange, could it be that the Huns were so willing to be beaten?

Gao Yuan didn't know that at this time, there was an infighting going on in the camp of the Huns, and of course he couldn't take care of the flint here. However, the plateau did not expect to be able to use these flints to defeat the Hun army, but just wanted to use these flints to disrupt the Hun camp, and then send a large army to attack the Huns' camp.

At this time, the fierce battle in the Hun camp was in full swing, and the tribal leaders who escaped from the Maodun camp each led their men and horses to launch a fierce movement to the camp of Maoton, and the tribes whose leaders were killed by Fugongyan were some mixed enemies, because the change happened in the middle of the night, and it was very sudden, and at this time, there were flints and flints constantly falling from the sky, so many tribes did not know what was going on, so some joined the tribe's side and attacked Maoton, and some fell to Maoton's side, and fought fiercely with the tribes, There were also a few tribes who were confused, and when they saw that everyone was fighting, it turned out to be a completely chaotic war.

But because of this, Maudun can still support it, because in the first few battles, Maudun's men and horses suffered the greatest losses, leaving only more than 14,000 people, plus a few tribes that don't know the truth to help Maudun fight, the strength of the troops is only 17,800 people, and the strength of the tribes is very different, but the tribes lack a unified command, can only fight separately, plus in the dark night, they can't distinguish between the enemy and me, they can only fight indiscriminately, so although the men and horses under Maudun are few, But it can also take Shan Yu Da Tent as the core, arrange defenses, and resist the attacks of various tribes. But it is simply impossible to resist the men and horses of other tribes, and to defeat the armies of their tribes.

And Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan are clear in their hearts, now they can still resist the attack of the tribes, is to take advantage of the dark, and after dawn, the armies of the tribes are concentrated, there is a unified command, and they are not far from defeat, and there is also the threat of the army on the side, Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan do not think that the army is just trying to project a few stone balls into the camp of the Xiongnu tonight.

But knowing the current situation is one thing, whether there is a way to deal with it is another, although the armies of the various tribes do not have a unified command, but they are still attacking from all directions like crazy, and they will not let Mao Dun have a chance to breathe at all, if it were not for Mao Dun to personally sit and command here, I am afraid that he would not be able to withstand it for a long time, and there is no way to free up his hands to prepare to meet the representative army.

Therefore, Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan also kept scolding these tribal leaders in their hearts, they really didn't care about the overall situation, and when they came, they didn't forget to coax themselves, but Fu Gongyan forgot about killing seven or eight tribal leaders in a row in the big tent.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of a wolf howling and a tiger howling from far and near, and at the same time there was an exclamation of the Hun soldiers:

"Wolves, wolves."

"That's a lot of wolves."

"And tigers, leopards, and bears."

And just as the Hun soldiers were exclaiming, I saw wolves, leopards, tigers and bears rushing into the Hun camp, letting out a terrible howl, and pounced on the Hun soldiers. And the attack of the beast is not divided into the army of the beast or the army of the tribes, anyway, it bites when it sees people, catches it when it sees people, and shows no mercy, and under the sudden defense, there are many Hun soldiers who are pounced on by the beasts, bitten to death and bite. Although some of the Hun soldiers wielded their weapons and fought the beasts, most of them did not take advantage of anything.

Because in a normal one-on-one situation, except for a few soldiers with extraordinary strength and bravery, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to beat a wolf even if they have weapons in hand, let alone a large beast like a tiger and bear, which is the best battlefield environment for beasts in such a dark night of melee. Unless it was the Hun soldiers who relied on the advantage of numbers to deal with the beasts in a collective battle, but now the Hun camp has been slaughtered, including some tribesmen, and the horses have also been scattered at this time, and the leaders can only control the hundreds of people around them, and the other soldiers can't take care of it.

In fact, when the beasts appeared on the battlefield, Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan knew that the situation was not good, because this group of beasts must have been controlled by the Bailing people, even if the beasts had already broken into the camp, then the army would naturally not be far away.

However, at this time, the two were still unwilling to fail, and after the beast broke into the camp of the Huns, the main attack was the army of each tribe, because the army of each tribe was on the periphery, and the army of Maudun was in the inner circle, so after the beast broke in, the pressure on Maudun's army was reduced a lot.

Maudun also took advantage of this time to relax a little, and hurriedly ordered, gathered the army, reorganized the men and horses, and prepared to meet the representative army, but at this time, the armies of various tribes had been killed by the beasts, and many wild beasts had already engaged Maudun's army.

Fortunately, after all, Maudun's army is different from the armies of various tribes, because they still have a unified command and commander, and they have been in full defense just now, so they can still maintain a certain organization, and Maudun's orders can also be more effectively implemented.
