The three countries are very nuclear

On the battlefield outside Yuyang City.

This encounter was extremely tragic. Although it could not be said that there were corpses scattered all over the field, the corpses of fallen soldiers were all within a radius of several miles from the battlefield.

There are Han Chinese and Xianbei people.

After fighting fiercely for more than three hours, although the Xianbei cavalry led by Cheng Lugui gained a great advantage, they failed to tear apart the infantry phalanx trapped in the camp, so they had to send people to surround the Han army. The intention is to wait for the Han army to lose all its vigor before fighting.

But in the encirclement of Xianbei, Jia Xu saw that the Xianbei people on the opposite side stopped attacking temporarily, so he let out a long sigh of relief, ignoring his image, and slumped on the ground.

On the periphery, the trapped camp with less than 500 people is still standing in line, even if they are surrounded by the corpses of their brothers and sisters, they still look resolute.

"how?"

Lin Chao untied the water bag with his dusty hands, took a big gulp, handed it to Jia Xu, and asked at the same time.

"Forehead……"

At this moment, Jia Xu was not only physically exhausted, but also his throat was about to smoke, so he grabbed the water bag and drank it in one gulp before he could reply, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"At a time like this, can you still laugh?" Lin Chao gave him a sidelong glance, "No wonder you smile so ugly."

Jia Xu spread her hands and said, "If you don't laugh, can't you still cry?"

Lin Chao frowned and said, "Speaking of business, do we still have a chance of winning?"

Even though the trapped camp in front was Xuzhou's ace troop, Lin Chao still suffered a big loss in the fierce battle of just three hours.

To be precise, he suffered a big loss from the very beginning, but the subsequent battles were quite acceptable.

At that time, the Xianbei charged with all their strength, and with the high overlap of manpower and horsepower, even the soldiers equipped with heavy armor almost failed to stop them.

After all, it is a body of flesh and blood, how can it compete with the explosive power of a war horse?
The reason why the array has not been broken up to now is entirely the result of the trapped camp filling in with their lives.

Can infantry be defeated by cavalry?
Not at all.

The premise is to have enough time to prepare.

In the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, the Han people have repeatedly fought against the Huns, and they have long had rich experience in dealing with nomads.

In terms of riding skills, the Han people are definitely not as good as the foreigners born on horseback.But the technology tree of farming civilization is always higher than these barbarians.

The place where it can be most reflected is the bow and crossbow.

Although the bows and arrows of foreign races shoot fast, their shooting range is quite short. After more than fifty steps, the lethality is slightly equal to nothing.

But the bows and crossbows of the Han people are different. Not only do they have a long range, but the metal arrows are also more lethal, which can be called a nightmare for foreign barbarians.

That's why the barbarians who went south to plunder at the end of the Han Dynasty often had records of tribal leaders being shot to death.

For this war, Lin Chao arranged seven years in advance, and naturally there would be no shortage of sharp weapons such as bows and crossbows.

But now, most of these things have not been shipped from Xuzhou.And most of those brought over were stored in the city, not in Lin Chao's hands at all.

That's why this encounter will turn into a real bitter battle.

After hearing Lin Chao's culture, Jia Xu smiled wearily: "There is definitely a chance of winning, but it's not that easy."

"What do you mean by that?"

Jia Xu pointed to the Xianbei humans in the distance: "Although we are trapped by the barbarians, after a fierce battle, the morale of both sides has already dropped to the same level. The advantage of the barbarians before has disappeared, and the next step is to compete with the soldiers of both sides. A moment of bravery. Whoever fails first loses."

Hearing this, Lin Chao nodded.This is indeed the case.

As long as they can withstand the first wave of Xianbei's attack, it will be much easier for them to resist the next attack.

But... Lin Chao sighed again as he looked at the vast wilderness behind him.

"Under such terrain, we can only be beaten passively. Whether to fight or retreat has to be decided by these barbarians. It's really hateful!"

Jia Xu smiled wryly and said: "Infantry are no match for cavalry after all, there is no solution. Fortunately, reinforcements will arrive soon. We just need to fight steadily until the reinforcements arrive, and we will be able to gather and wipe out the barbarians!"

"That's the only way to go." Lin Chao nodded.

At this time, Dian Wei and Yan Rou, who had been supervising the battle, came back.

Yan Rou has been supervising the battle, and has not personally rushed to the battle, so he is in good condition at the moment.

However, Dian Wei, who led the trapped camp and rushed to the front, was already covered in blood and dust all over his body. Under the blood-colored mud and dust, he looked like an evil ghost killed from hell, which was daunting. terror.

"Supervisor, the enemy has stopped attacking, shall we retreat slowly?"

Seeing the temporary truce, Dian Wei immediately rushed over and shouted.

"No!"

Lin Chao and Jia Xu replied in unison.

"Why not?" Yan Rou asked suspiciously, "Marquis Lin, let's line up and retreat slowly at this time. Even if the barbarians pursue us, we can fight back and get closer to the reinforcements. This way we have a chance!"

Facing Yan Rou's opinion, Lin Chao and Jia Xu smiled wryly and shook their heads.

In his eyes, it seems to be a path of life, but in fact it is a real dead end!
At this time, the troops led by Lin Chao had no choice but to stay put.Even if the Xianbei didn't attack temporarily, they didn't even dare to retreat.

Because once they retreat, the formation will inevitably change, and it is likely to provide these barbarians with a chance to fight. It is better to stick to the spot and preserve the physical strength of the soldiers to deal with the battle that will come at any time.

Furthermore... two legs can run faster than four legs?
Seeing that his proposal was rejected, Dian Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in doubt: "Can't retreat... Could it be that we're just here to waste time with these barbarians?"

"It's exhausting...it's not enough."

Lin Chao looked up at the Xianbei people who had already started eating in the distance, and the corner of his mouth slowly raised, "In the end, it's a war of attrition, Jun Ming...ordered an attack!"

What, attack!

Hearing this, Dian Wei immediately showed a black question mark face.

Now that the enemy is outnumbered, and with the bonus of unit restraint, it is not easy to maintain the formation. Why take the initiative to attack?
"Yes, this is the right time to attack." Jia Xu quickly understood Lin Chao's intentions, and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry about the previous bloody battle. Although we suffered heavy losses, our troops are still fighting. Attacking at this time can just defeat the enemy's spirit and gain the initiative in this battle."

Dian Wei asked suspiciously, "Mr. Jia, please forgive me for being stupid...the enemy troops are all cavalry."

Dian Wei has never heard of a case of using infantry to actively attack cavalry in nearly twenty years of battles. If such words came from someone else, he must think that this person is crazy.

Seeing that Dian Wei didn't understand, Jia Xu subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard to explain, but when he touched his chin, he found that his hand was covered with blood. , not to fight these barbarians to the death, but to take the initiative to grasp the situation of the battle."

"What if this angers the enemy army and provokes a massive attack?" asked Yan Rou who was next to him.

Jia Xu spread his hands and smiled: "Then it's a battle. After the previous three hours of fierce fighting, the enemy's horsepower was exhausted. Now we don't have water and grass to replenish, we may not be defeated."

Hearing this, Yan Ruo Dian Wei finally understood what Jia Xu meant.

Today's two sides are at the end of their strength, but after these barbarians rest, they must not be opponents.Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to fight hard.

"Mr. Jia, if the enemy army does not fight our army, but retreats slowly, we will not be able to catch up!"

Dian Wei asked again.

"Then don't chase, the whole army rests on the spot and waits for reinforcements."

Although Jia Xu didn't think the barbarian on the opposite side could have such an IQ, he still prepared for the worst.

Hearing this, Dian Wei and Yan Rou immediately turned to look at Lin Chao.

"Let's order the attack as Military Division Jia said." Lin Chao waved his hand.

"As ordered!"

……

"Damn it, these Han people are so stubborn!"

Outside the battlefield, Cheng Lu Guizheng cut the roasted mutton with the bloody sharp knife in his hand, his eyes were full of anger, and he wished to tear apart the Han troops who were surrounded.

I thought it was a good job to go south this time, but who knew that after looting a border county, I encountered this difficult bone.

In the north of Yuyang County, there is only a small county called Luping. There are less than a thousand households in the city, so naturally there is not much money, so Chenglugui has not grabbed many things so far, let alone it can be called an important strategic resource. Han women.

This is not the first time Cheng Lugui went south to plunder. According to past experience, the first half of the plunder was easy.

Although the Han officers and soldiers were formidable, they reacted very slowly. They often waited until they had looted several counties before rushing over. By then, they would have already run away.

Even if he didn't run away, with the current level of chaos in the Han Dynasty, he would not send a large army deep into the frontier to chase after himself who had returned with a full load.

In a word, in the past 20 years, every time they went south to plunder was a very good deal.

But this time, Cheng Lugui had doubts about his previous cognition.

He couldn't imagine what kind of army it was that could resist the attack of his subordinate Erlang head-on.And after overcoming this wave of shocks, he fought fiercely with himself for a full three hours...

With this in mind, Cheng Lugui looked at the soldiers in the distance who were still waiting in battle, his eyes were full of fear.

If this Han army had cavalry that could hold them back, the heavily armed black-armored army with less than a thousand soldiers on the opposite side could complete the harvest by wielding the terrifying sword in their hands.

Damn, when this Han army is completely wiped out, the armor of this black armored army must be stripped off. This is a good thing!
Barbarians who are so poor that they have not been able to build half a city or house for thousands of years, let alone such an advanced technology tree as copper smelting and iron smelting, it is reasonable to covet the weapons and equipment of the Han people.

It's a pity that when Cheng Lugui was thinking about how to deal with the Han army on the opposite side, he saw the soldiers who had been waiting in the formation slowly moved.

despair!
despair!
despair!
……

After receiving Lin Chao's order, Dian Wei did not delay, and immediately ordered the trapped camp to move forward.

The sound of swords and shields colliding was mixed with the sound of an orderly formation, and hundreds of soldiers who were trapped in the battle suddenly stepped out of the momentum of thousands of people.

But when Cheng Lugui, who was on the opposite side, saw this scene, he laughed angrily, and then flew into a rage.

There is no reason in this world for infantry to take the initiative to attack cavalry. Although this Han army is elite, it can't be so rampant!
Feeling the insult, Cheng Lugui didn't even want to cook anymore. After throwing the meat in his hand on the ground, he raised his knife and shouted: "Boys, get on my horse and kill all the Han people on the opposite side!"

It wasn't until this time that the Xianbei cavalry discovered that the Han army on the opposite side had launched an attack on its own initiative.

They looked at the unfinished meat and the unrested horses, no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to carry out Cheng Lugui's order.

On the grassland, the natural ecological law of the weak and the strong is advocated. As the saying goes, the loser eats the dust, and the winner has the right to control everything including the life of the loser. Therefore, there is never any room for slowing down the order of the superior.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The Xianbei charge slogan sounded again, and thousands of Xianbei cavalry charged forward on horseback just like three hours ago, trying to annihilate this wave of Han troops who dared to humiliate them.

In the rear, Lin Chao and Jia Xu smiled at each other when they saw that the Xianbei had taken the bait.

Although this move is a bit risky, it is better than waiting to die.

Although it is very likely that the reinforcements will arrive within a few days, Lin Chao and Jia Xu always like to plan for the worst, so they brazenly launched this seemingly impossible plan.

Seeing that the Xianbei had taken the bait, Dian Wei immediately raised his halberd high, stopping the trapped camp, ready to defend against the enemy's attack.

The defensive defense of the Han army made the Xianbei people even more excited, and all of them rushed over with bloodthirsty expressions on their faces.

They could already foresee that this Han army would be crushed to a pulp under their own horseshoes!
But what happened next was far beyond their expectations.

Compared with the previous charge, this time they couldn't cause effective damage to the trapped camp at all, and they couldn't even break through the first layer of formation.

After the shock force of the war horse was exhausted, he fell into the quagmire of a hand-to-hand war in an instant.

Lin Chao didn't dare to brag about the other awesomeness, but when it comes to the elite level of the current army, Xuzhou can be said to be an era ahead!
The reason is very simple, because Xuzhou implements a system of recruiting all soldiers, and then uses the integrated training method that Lin Chao got from later generations as the core idea of ​​military training.

This method seems simple, but Xuzhou is the only one in the world who can implement this method.

Because this kind of system requires huge people's power as support.

Without the policy of supporting the people to make a living, it is impossible to hide wealth from the people.How can the common people actively join the army and serve the battlefield when they can't even maintain the most basic life?
In contrast to other princes, the army that belongs solely to the monarch can indeed do this, but the private soldiers of the generals and the aristocratic families can really lower the lower limit of the army's integrity.

In short, Xuzhou's army is a real professional soldier, but other princes do not have such conditions, not to mention Xuzhou also has a training method that is 2000 years ahead.

On the other hand, the Xianbei soldiers on the opposite side, herd herds in normal times, and serve as soldiers in wartime. Even though they were born on horseback, once the advantages of cavalry cannot be revealed, how can they compare with Xuzhou soldiers who have been practicing all year round.

Once they fought, these Xianbei fighters felt great pressure.

They were horrified to find that these black-armored warriors on the opposite side were so cruel that they were hardly human. While wielding their shields to defend, they could harvest their lives with the most simple and unpretentious sword techniques without hesitation.

Chop, draw the knife, and chop again...

Repeatedly, using the most labor-saving method, every knife hits the enemy's vitals!

After only half an hour of fighting, the Xianbei people became afraid of these war machines.

What kind of army is this? Why can they reap their lives recklessly without any sorrow or joy on their faces, and they don't even blink their eyes!
