Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 785 Cavalry
Before Liu Chan's surprise attack on Hedong, Cao Wei's troops stationed in Hedong were only 3 people, and Chen Tai's troops were only about [-] people. Therefore, Chen Tai did not dare to go out to rescue, but stayed in Linfen, and ordered Taiyuan, Xihe, Leping, The soldiers from the four prefectures of Shangdang rushed to Pingyang.

But don't look at the soldiers of the four counties, some of the soldiers of these four counties have already been stationed in Hedong, so Chen Tai dispatched 8000 elite soldiers from the Southern Huns.With soldiers from Taiyuan, Xihe, Leping, and Shangdang counties, plus the Southern Huns and his original sergeants, his total strength reached about 8000.

On the other hand, Jiang Wei's troops, before departure, had 7000 Shuofang troops, [-] Liangzhou sergeants, and the Hubu and other Han troops transferred from Liu Chan to Jiang Wei's command, winning [-] troops.

The combined strength of the two sides is less than [-], but this battle will determine the ownership of the entire Hedong.

"Boom~"

Several military flags of the Cao Wei Central Army were unfurled, while in the formation of the right army on the high ground, dozens of battle drums were beaten by bare-chested wrestlers holding drumsticks high, and the sound of the drums reverberated throughout the battlefield.

The infantry in the Wei army held up their spears and shouted: "Wan Victory!"

The army rolls forward, and the crossbowmen take out their crossbows and draw the bows to the strings, ready to be fired at the enemy; the sword and shield hands line up in a shield wall, listening to the little drummers in the queue marching forward; The spear, turned into a forest of spears and spears, followed closely behind.

The Hu cavalry on both sides rode their horses slowly under the command of the leader, until the drums in the rear sounded again, and the flags were issued, and the leaders of the various ministries of the Southern Huns ordered their soldiers to attack.

Liu Gan, the leader of the Xiongnu, rode his horse with both legs, and raised his spear with one hand to draw an arc in the air, indicating that there were about [-] cavalry under his command to gather towards him and march with him.

Since Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty married a daughter of the clan to Maodun Chanyu as a consort princess, and became brothers with Modun Shanyu, all descendants of Modun Chanyu took Liu as their surname.After Cao Cao pacified the Southern Huns, he divided the soldiers of Huchuquan into five divisions, each of which was headed by a Hun named Liu.

Therefore, in history, Liu Yuan claimed to be the heir of the Han Dynasty, and it is not without legal system, but this legal system is equivalent to Green Rome and Rome.

When they got close to the Han army to a certain extent, the Hu cavalry let out deafening shouts and drove their horses to speed up.Thousands of horseshoes stepped on the light green, brought up countless grasses, and then slowly floated back to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Wei tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and immediately said to the left and right: "Order the left and right cavalry to move out, and don't let them approach our army formation."

"promise!"

After receiving the semaphore issued by the Chinese army, Jia Yan and Hu Fen, the school lieutenants who led the cavalry, led out.

Immediately, the roar of horseshoes stamping on the ground sounded, and the smoke and dust billowed into the air, and the momentum was not weak at all.

The pawns on both sides, who are good at riding skills, adjusted their direction and angle of entry while running, trying to seize the opponent's left-hand side and occupy a favorable position.And Jia Yan has fought for many years and led the cavalry for many years, and his tactical proficiency is much better than that of the Southern Huns.

The Southern Xiongnu seem to be nomadic people, but in fact they have also learned to farm since they entered the Han Dynasty, and lived a half-nomadic and half-farming life.In the early years, he assisted Cao Wei to defend against the Xianbei tribe in the north, but because he had not lacked fighting all the year round, he was killed by the Xianbei people and moved south.

After the Xianbei disaster was resolved, the Southern Huns had not fought for many years.It wasn't until the big Han burned the war to the east of the river that these Huns who hadn't fought all the year round had to put on their armor and fight again.

Therefore, in battles on the battlefield, the Southern Huns may be good at archers and cavalry by nature, but they are not as brave as these Han cavalry who have been licking blood at the edge of their swords all year round.It's just that it may be more difficult for the big Han cavalry to face them because of their own numerical advantages.

Knowing that Hu people are good at bow and cavalry, Jia Yan who led the Han cavalry was also unambiguous. After a shower of arrows, the Han cavalry raised their spears and used the close combat that Han cavalry is good at to cut into the Hu cavalry.

The next moment, the two cavalry collided into one place.Hu Qi was pierced by the spear that was poking at him head-on, and his whole body was brought down to the ground by the huge momentum, and he was trampled into flesh by countless iron hooves following behind.

Although they escaped the stabbing of the spear, they would also be slashed by the ring hand knife. The slender blade easily tore their leather armor and cut into their skin and muscles. A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, causing The howling of the enemy.Or he saved his life, but the horse under his crotch was on the verge of death.

For example, after Jia Yan, who took the lead, stabbed a Hun cavalry, he was intercepted and killed by the surrounding Hun cavalry. Although under the protection of his personal guards, he beheaded the attacking enemy.

But his horse was cut with a scimitar with a long and thin bloody mouth, which extended from the horse's neck all the way down, almost cutting off the horse's neck, and the blood gurgled out with a fishy smell, and continued to gallop for more than a hundred years Stepping forward, with a whine, he finally fell to the ground.

Before the horse fell down, Jia Yan took advantage of the situation and rolled over to let off the impact, picked up the spear on the ground, and put on a fighting posture, alerting the surrounding Hu cavalry.

"Hey!"

Several Hun cavalry rode their horses to attack, and they were about to surround and stab Jia Yan with their spears. Although Jia Yan was afraid, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dodge right and left to avoid Hu Qi's puncture. , He also took the opportunity to stab a Hu Qi to death.But he was not without a price, the thigh was stabbed by Hu Qi, and blood kept gushing from the huge wound.

Sitting paralyzed on the ground, feeling the wound from his thigh, looking at Hu Qi who turned to come back, Jia Yan felt the breath of death. How many hardships and dangers have passed before this meager achievement can be achieved, but now I have to return to the west.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow came through the air and knocked down the rushing Hu Qi.

Jia Yan followed the trend and saw that Jiao Da's war horse was also dead. He held his bow and arrow and shouted: "Patriarch, don't worry, someone is here!"

After all, Jiao Da discarded his bow and arrow, picked up the contradiction, and ran all the way, and then avoided several attacks by Hu Qi.Running to Jia Yan, Jiao Da asked worriedly, "Can the Patriarch leave?"

Jia Yan shook his head and said bitterly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave!"

The burly Jiao Da carried Jia Yan on his back and shouted: "I will bear the head of the family, and the family will hold the spear, and break out of the encirclement."

"it is good!"

Jiao Da blushed and ran as hard as he could, dodging the galloping horsemen.Jia Yan holds a spear and blocks from left and right.When he didn't know where he was running, Jia Rong led dozens of horsemen, opened his bow and set up arrows, and shot at Hu Qi randomly, and then rescued Jia Yan and Jiao Da.

Jia Yan rode on the horse brought by the cavalry, briefly treated the injury on his lower leg, and said loudly: "Pull up the flag, continue to fight, and protect the army."

"promise!"

After walking through the gate of hell, Jia Yan led the surrounding cavalrymen to continue fighting with the Southern Huns. In a short period of time, Hun cavalry fell off their horses, or their wounded horses fell to the ground, and their riders died in the chaos.Relying on their superiority in numbers, the Southern Huns entangled with the Han cavalry. When the spear was broken, they used knives. Both sides also fought fiercely and fought desperately.

Chen Tai glanced at the cavalry battlefield, and then turned his attention to the infantry. If he wanted to really defeat Jiang Wei, he still had to rely on the infantry to fight head-on.These Hu cavalry seemed tough, but they had been peaceful for too long, and they were no longer as ferocious as the Xianbei outside the Great Wall. It was not expected that they could defeat the Han cavalry, it was enough to hold the Han cavalry down.

Squinting his eyes, Chen Tai looked at the front of the battlefield. The army had already pressed forward, strangling together with the Han army. Although the momentum of the two sides fighting was not as loud as the cavalry on both sides, it was as tragic as it was!
During the period, Jiang Wei tried to defeat the Wei army with oblique attack tactics, but was seen through by Chen Tai, and his backhand disintegrated Jiang Wei's offensive, forcing Jiang Wei into a head-on confrontation.

Chen Tai hoped to use his own superior force to suppress Jiang Wei's infantry to attack until Jiang Wei's infantry could no longer continue and the army formation collapsed. He chased and killed Jiang Wei's formed army and achieved a decisive victory. win.

Correspondingly, in the formation on Jiang Wei's side, Wang Si and Yan Yu led the frontal infantry of the Shuofang Army to resist the line, trying to withstand the powerful offensive of the Wei Army, wear down the morale of the Wei Army, and strive for more opportunities for the Tiger Army's attack. Much hope for victory.

Wang Si inspected his own team, and the key soldiers from Shuofang looked solemn and fixed their eyes on the front.Most of these Shuofang officers and soldiers were the Han and Hu people of Shuofang. Under the policy of restoring Shuofang in the Han Dynasty, they were granted land and registered in household registration, and became the children of the Han family.And because he travels in Shuofang all the year round, and the living environment is harsh, he can be called brave.

Wang Si raised his voice and said to the military academy under his command: "If the soldiers in the front are unable to fight, the lords will replace them. You must hold the front line and prevent the Wei army from breaking into the formation. Wait for the tiger to attack and break the enemy."

"promise!"
