The big man is on the run

Chapter 164
"Whoosh!"

Liu Yi bent his bow and set an arrow himself, and a loud arrow pierced the tranquility of the mountain with a sharp whistling sound.

This is the Great Wall Pass in the north of Guangning County. In later generations, it has a more familiar name——Zhangjiakou.

All of a sudden, the ambush soldiers on both sides of the mountain lifted off the branches and leaves used for camouflage on their bodies, picked up the bows and crossbows that had been prepared for a long time, and attacked the Xianbei infantry who had entered the ambush circle.

"Sususu~"

The rain of arrows composed of thousands of arrows covered the sky in an instant, and the entire sky was darkened, and in the next instant, the spiked feather arrows wrapped in terrifying gravity accelerated fiercely against the humble North Koreans.

"Du~"

The feathered arrows stuck on the cowhide painted round shield full of prairie style in his hands trembled endlessly. Ke Bineng, who led the army of more than [-] cavalry, shouted hoarsely: "Form the formation!"

Needless to say, these Xianbei people, who are completely different from the pure cavalry at Budugen, have long been prepared. Their infantry accounted for more than half, and their shield belts were sufficient, whether it was a round shield on their hands or arms, or a person alone. There are scull shields of equal height.

Ke Bi Neng looked at the countless boulders rolling down from the cliffs on both sides of the mountain, and sighed softly. There was no other way but to let the soldiers continue to move closer to form an formation, and to pray for the reinforcements led by Ata to come quickly.

"Woooooo~"

The low and long ox horn sounded on the top of the mountain, and the ambushes of the Han army ambushing on both sides of the mountain charged down the mountain with all their might.

"The Han army is victorious!"

Ears were filled with the whistling sound of arrow rain, the shrill wailing sound, and the almost crazy battle roar of the Han army. Ke Bi Neng raised his head, looked at the Han army rushing down, and couldn't help cursing: "These damned Han dogs! ! Why is morale so high?"

"Boom~"

The boulders rolled down and hit them in front of them, causing a burst of dust. The purpose of these boulders was not to kill, but to block roads and divide the formation. Very few Xianbei people were directly crushed to death.

"Cough cough."

Kebi Neng couldn't hold his breath, coughed repeatedly choked by the smoke, his mouth and nose were full of the suffocating smell of dust, his palms supported the clods that fell from the cliff, the rough clods even Cut a finger.

"We are ready to fight back. We cannot let the Han people rush down the hillside."

Ke Bi Neng patted the leader next to him, got up and drew out his knife, and ordered loudly: "Bow and crossbow are ready!"

Ke Bineng's cold order was like a sharp knife, piercing into the hearts of the surrounding orderlies, and the orderlies flew in all directions to convey the order.

The infantry of the Xianbei people was trained in an orderly manner. At this time, they did not fall into a state of panic and collapse. Instead, they completed the formation of formations under the command of leaders at all levels and tribal leaders.

"drink!"

The large shield stands in the front row, the spears are on top of the shield wall, and more than 1000 infantry are lined up in a square formation, forming a rectangle along both sides of the mountain, and then behind, the guards in the center form a three-row formation The scattered abandoned horse cavalry acted as archers, and crossbowmen on both wings.

After receiving the order, these cavalrymen who directly abandoned their horses stood firm on the ground, put their quiver on the ground, and the arrow shafts with messy tails were sparsely inserted in the quiver. Although the iron arrows of the Xianbei There are not many arrows, but these only arrows will soon become poisonous snakes that harvest human lives.

The unflappable reaction of the Xianbei people was obviously beyond Liu Yi's expectations. Liu Yi thought that these Xianbei people should be scared and run away when they encountered a sudden attack in the narrow terrain.

However, Liu Yi did not change his order. He had three times the number of Xianbei people and a condescending terrain advantage. Even if the Xianbei infantry did not collapse now, he would continue to charge.

In this carefully prepared ambush, Liu Yi was very confident that Ke Bineng would be defeated and even buried here.

In the formation of the Han army, the captain's order flag was waved down fiercely, and the small crossbowmen of various departments received the order and shouted: "Bow and crossbow, prepare."

After five breaths, the final order came.

"put!"

The archers aiming at the sky at a 45-degree angle instantly loosened the extremely long strings of their step bows, and the thrown arrows left the step bows at an extremely fast speed. After reaching the highest point in the sky, there was a sharp roar He fell into the ranks of Xianbei people with a sound.

At the same time, the crossbowman also lowered his head and roughly aimed at the dark Xianbei team at the foot of the mountain on both sides, then released the trigger, and attacked the Xianbei with a smoother parabola than the step bow.

The Xianbei people raised their heads in horror. The rain of arrows rising from the position on the Hanjun Mountain was like dark clouds, blocking out the not much sunlight, and then hit like a storm.

"Whoosh~"

The tree trunk in the mountain saved the life of a Xianbei man by chance.

But his companion was not so lucky, because the recoil was too fast, and the arrows of the Han army pierced him into a hornet's nest in an instant.

"help me!"

"Ah~ my eyes!"

Some of the Xianbei soldiers who charged too far forward fell down like cutting wheat, and the sound of pain and wailing was endless.

Without being greeted by the leaders of the army, the Xianbei soldiers at the foot of the mountain began to shoot at the Han army on the mountain in the forest with their bows in their hands.

It's just that, from a historical point of view, under the premise that the soldiers on both sides are equal, most of this kind of foot combat ends with the side with the short hand suffering a disadvantage.

There is no other reason, neither the accuracy of the shooting technique nor the physical strength of the two soldiers, it is purely a matter of probability.

The Han army used both step bows and step crossbows, which far surpassed the riding bows of the Xianbei army in terms of shooting range, because riding bows were used for riding and shooting on horseback. Sitting on a horse, bending a bow and setting an arrow, standing upright on the ground with the whole person When it comes to archery, the size and range of the bow is completely incomparable.

After only two or three rounds of shooting, the Xianbei soldiers at the front were almost cleared, and a large number of Han troops continued to rush down the mountain after clearing the obstacles.

Once the Han army gets close, the two sides will fall into the most tragic hand-to-hand combat. This is a combat mode that extremely tests the soldiers' fighting will and army organization ability.

"puff!"

Like the sound of a vesicle being pierced, a Xianbei man with a sword and shield fell powerlessly in front of the army formation.

Seeing that the Xianbei people around him were shot into blood gourds by arrows, Ke Bineng, who was hiding in the temporary bunker built between soldiers, corpses and stones, stretched his bow and set his arrows, and just as soon as he probed to aim, the arrows of "rustle~" The sound exploded in my ears, and several spiked arrows pierced the cracks in the stone.

"Fuck you!"

After spitting out a mouthful of saliva mixed with wind and sand, Ke Bi Neng fastened his pocket. Hearing the whistling sound of arrows gradually weakening in his ears, he yelled loudly: "Get ready to charge! The Han people are coming down!"

The Han army on the mountain was still bending their bows to cover their shots, and poured dense arrows on the infantry formation of the Xianbei. The round shields and scull shields of the infantry were shot like hedgehogs, full of arrows, not to mention the spearmen And crossbowmen too.

The crossbowmen of the Xianbei people had lost almost all of their flat-shooting crossbowmen, and the throwing longbowmen had already shot a bag of arrows, their fingers were dripping with blood, their arms were trembling, and most of them lost their combat capabilities.

High-intensity repeated bow-drawing and throwing in wartime will cause great damage to the archer, no matter how strong the physical strength is, the well-trained archer is no exception, it is nothing more than the difference between shooting more arrows and shooting fewer arrows.

The Han army rushed down from the mountain to fight in close quarters. Within this range, the Han army archers on both sides of the mountain began to gradually reduce their projectiles, fearing that they would accidentally injure friendly troops.

The two sides coincidentally, as Liu Yi expected, stopped shooting and entered the hand-to-hand combat.

The first row of shield soldiers, the second row of pikemen, and the exposed front ends of long pole weapons formed a terrifying metal forest. Under the autumn sunlight, they shone with a palpitating cold light.

"bring it on!"

Huangfu Li tore off the cloak that was in the way, held the knife in his hand, and rushed to the Xianbei soldiers on the opposite side.

"Don't hesitate! Kill!"

Hu Che'er yelled loudly, and smashed the head of a Xianbei soldier with a hammer. His vision was full of thicker and thicker fog. It was the blood splashed on the pocket and then flowing down the cracks. It began to steam in the heat wave of people fighting.

Ma Chao rushed down the mountain bravely like a tiger descending the mountain. The spear in his hand carried a huge inertia, and pierced through the Xianbei infantry blocking in front of him like a thunderbolt. When it got to the sky, the blood of the Xianbei infantry gushed out of his chest and splashed on his armor.

"Ahhh-"

A Xianbei leader roared almost crazily, witnessing a large number of soldiers killed in a short period of time under his own eyes, which made him lose the fear of death that he should have as a life.

Under the cover of friendly troops, he circled around Ma Chao's flank, took a stride forward, raised his knife and slashed at his neck.

Ma Chao hastily raised his gun to parry, but to the surprise of the Xianbei leader, he was staggered!
This general of the Han army has great strength!

The Xianbei man was pressed to the ground by Ma Chao, with the barrel of the gun stuck on his neck, panting heavily.

"Death to me!"

Ma Chao rode on the headman of Xianbei and swung his fists like rain. The fist as big as a sandbag hit his flat face, and even the bridge of his nose collapsed into his face. He didn't know if it was his own blood or the enemy's blood on his hands. of.

Ma Chao slammed down a few more heavy punches. Seeing that the Xianbei leader was exhaling too much and not breathing in, he couldn't survive.

On the entire battlefield, the Xianbei army trapped at the bottom of the valley was still in an extremely unfavorable situation. Under the command of the Xianbei nobles, the Xianbei army hurriedly dispatched, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Countless soldiers slashed and killed together, Ke Bineng brandished a big sword, a blue light flashed, and the Han army in front of him was chopped off like a mower in an instant, blood splashed on Ke Bineng's armor, and he still called out for a fierce battle.

"Fire the gun!"

"drink!"

The gunmen of the Han army chanted neatly, their spears were like Lin Ruyue, and the moving spears waved mechanically, stabbing at the Xianbei soldiers who rushed over.

The maneuvering space of the Xianbei people at the bottom of the valley is getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, Xianbei people are dying every moment. Facing the Han army surrounded like an ocean, the morale of the Xianbei people began to collapse on the eve of collapse.

"Where's Atta's reinforcements?!"

Ke Bi Neng wiped the blood from his face and asked angrily.

After a long time, the messengers sent out before rushed back in embarrassment.

"My lord, Atta's reinforcements were attacked by Gongsun Zan's troops behind!"

"What? Why did Gongsun Zan appear here?"

"Ata said that the enemy came from Gushui in Yuyang County and walked directly along the Great Wall, and did not follow us through Shanggu County!"

Ke Bineng slashed a Han army with his big sword, and looked back at his left and right wings, and found that the formation of the Han army was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer to him.

"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Ke Bineng gritted his teeth and swung his knife towards the Han army on both sides.

He knows that such a battle situation is not good for him, but at this time, he has no choice.

He didn't dare to entangle with the enemy anymore, otherwise, his subordinates would be less and less, and by then, they would have no choice but to catch them without a fight.

"Breakout! Breakout!"

Ke Bi Neng cut down a few soldiers of the Han army who were pounced on him, and rushed forward while roaring. He was ready to give up all the costs, as long as he could stand out, even if he lost most of his troops Do whatever it takes.

But Ke Bi Neng underestimated the bravery of the Han army.

When Ke Bi Neng rushed to the front of the Han army's position blocking the entrance of the valley with more than a thousand remaining people, he suddenly found that his troops seemed to have hit the iron wall of the Han army. Blocked by the dense shield wall, there was no way to break out of the encirclement of the Han army.

"kill!"

"The Han army is victorious!"

The soldiers of the Han army blocking the mountain pass shouted together, raised their spears and shields one after another, and attacked the Xianbei people led by Ke Bineng.
