Chapter 399: Scared Infantry

You want to ask why Zhang He dared to declare war on Xianbei with two thousand heavy cavalry and several thousand infantry?

Needless to say, it is naturally crushed by technology!

A thousand Zhang's repeating crossbows accompanied the army, and the crossbow arrows were enough for more than ten carts.

The target of this battle is mainly within the territory of China. It does not really enter the grassland and does not require so many cavalry.

Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang all have one characteristic, that is, they are south of the Yinshan Mountains.

The huge mountain range is a natural barrier, and there are only a few mountain roads to enter it. As long as the defenses are well prepared, it is not easy for the barbarians to get in.

In fact, more than ten years ago, Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties were still serving as prefects and were still under the rule of the Han Dynasty, so Cai Yong was exiled to Wuyuan.

After these two prefects resigned or left for other reasons, Wuyuan and Yunzhong have not had a prefect for eight or nine years.

Just say that now, no one knows what is happening to the people and their livelihood in those three counties.

Whether it is autonomy, vassalization of Xianbei, or complete acceptance of Xianbei rule, I don't know at all.

In this case, it is natural to need the 'leading party' to tell them the specific situation.

Of course, Zhang He believed that the most suitable 'leading party' was not the Xianbei people in front of him.

Unless they were beaten to pain and fear, these Xianbei gang would forget that they were once dogs raised by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xianbei was also confused. Thousands of troops fought over them. Just as the infantry approached the opponent, something came out with a "swish". As a result, thousands of cavalry were overturned.

Thousands of soldiers and horses, all the effort was lost in a single confrontation. Is there anything wrong? !
For a moment, they were all in a trance, wondering if they had seen it wrong, and maybe even doubting that they had not woken up yet.

They can't wait for the problem to be solved, and it's not Sailor Moon's transformation...

The army rushed over quickly, scattering all the enemy troops in a circle around the opponent's general.

Qianzhao took the lead and fought in front of the enemy general. The latter hurriedly raised his sword to fight, but was killed by Qianzhao with a single shot.

"You're at this level, but you still have the nerve to offend me, a strong man?!" Qianzhao spat.

The soldiers below also felt the same way. Xianbei, at his level, had actually defeated the imperial army in the past.

Wasn't the army that used to conquer Xianbei a little too useless?
They have never thought about the possibility that they are too strong?
After all, there are three meals a day, plus meat every meal, so I train every day, and even do extra training.

The training intensity has exceeded twice that of the previous frontier troops, and the nutrition has also far exceeded.

In terms of just the training level and the physical quality of the soldiers, even the Taishan soldiers and Danyang soldiers may not be comparable.

In terms of physical fitness, they have even surpassed Xianbei.

The second is pure horse crushing, the speed is not on the same level at all.

If the opponent can't escape no matter how hard he runs, what can he use to fight him?

Xianbei, like other barbarian forces, relied on riding and shooting to survive and relied on guerrilla tactics to bring down the enemy.

But facing the armored knights, their first thought was to use their endurance to wear down the opponent's horse.

But who would have thought that the opponent's war horse was so powerful, and it was obviously heavily armored, but it still ran faster than their horse.

The damage that the crossbow can cause is limited, but when the opponent rushes over, your own defense is limited.

This is a completely unequal battle. To put it bluntly, it is a unilateral massacre!

With the death of the general, the remaining leaders realized this and immediately fled north in despair.

Infantry?Who cares about them!

Now he was running for his life, and the speed of the infantry was a complete drag. He didn't want to die here!
"Why did you run away? Your backbone, your courage, and your arrogance are all gone to the dogs?!" Zhang He shouted as he looked at the Xianbei cavalry who ran away in despair.

Unfortunately, those guys have run away and probably can't be heard.

Besides, how many of the Xianbei people at the bottom can speak Chinese?

Those so-called foreigners who "admire Chinese civilization" have this characteristic to some extent.

Maybe the whole people are keen on it, but the reality is that the nobles and the ruling class are keen on it, and then the lower-level wealthy people are also keen on it.It seems that the whole country looks up to the big Han people, but in reality there are only a few people who can really speak Chinese.

The following people are keen on Dahan, but they don’t understand Dahan and can’t even speak Chinese.

It's just like a group of foreigners who think Chinese characters are cool and get them tattooed on their bodies. In fact, they don't even know that the tattoos they have are words like 'I am a fool'.

On the other hand, for some T-shirts printed in English, it is best not to meddle in translating the English...

The common people had no chance to come into contact with Han culture and had never received enlightenment.

The high-level officials specialize in studying Chinese culture and etiquette just to get more rewards from the imperial court.

Even the surrender itself is a temporary measure. In essence, people have no real intention to submit to the big man, so rebellion is normal.

First came Xianbei, then Wuhuan, then Qiang people, Southern Xiongnu, Banzhen Man and Huangzhong Yi Conghu...

These hawks and dogs who were once strong men would turn around and bite him when he was weak.

Those who are a little more obedient, namely the Wuxi Barbarians and the Nanzhong Barbarians, are those who were taught by Liu Bei to be more obedient.

After the demise of the Shu Han Dynasty, they may no longer be obedient.

It is even possible that after Meng Huo dies, his son or grandson will consider continuing to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

That sentence is right, people who are not from my race must have different minds, so Zhang He has only one idea: complete Chineseization!

"General, there are troops coming from both sides." Yang Lang reminded.

On the horizon, two armies were attacking from the left and right.They were probably lying in ambush in the mountains on both sides, waiting for the army to pass by and suddenly attack the rear of the army.

The former army was restrained by the Xianbei cavalry and could not take care of themselves. There was a high probability that they would succeed.

After all, they were lurking in the mountains three or four miles away, or even six or seven miles away.

With the help of special sounding arrows, they flew hundreds of meters, and the whistle sounded throughout the valley. As a signal, the army quickly went down the mountain and moved closer here.

It's just that the cavalry was defeated too quickly. By the time they arrived, the battlefield was already being cleaned.

But they didn't know, so they just rushed over.

It was embarrassing now. When we arrived here and saw the Han army staring at them eagerly, the leading 'general' was in trouble.

When I first saw the cavalry, I wanted to say that our own army had already won the battle and they just needed to clean up the battlefield.

But who knows, the winner will be the other side!

The Xianbei cavalry, which I was afraid of, was defeated by the other party. So if I go over there myself, wouldn't this be delivered to my door? !
"Surrender and avoid death?" Qianzhao came over and tried to shout.

This group of infantry was said to be Han soldiers, but judging from their appearance, they did not look like they had come to submit.

But to say that they were called here, the cute and cute look they have now is even a bit funny.

"Put down your weapons, or you will be killed without mercy!" Zhang He shouted loudly, "Fighting without fighting, retreating without retreating, this is just for fun, right?!"

"Bang!" Probably frightened by Zhang He's loud voice, some people immediately put down their weapons, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of people put down their weapons.

Some people are even more cowardly, not only using weapons but also drinking water.

Well, in history, my brother frightened General Cao to death, but I scared him to death...

Fortunately, the other party has put down their weapons. Pang De and Wei Yi each led an army and went over to capture the people.

Zhang He looked up at the sky and saw that it had just reached noon. Counting the time spent on the march, the battle lasted less than an hour.

"Hey, that's wrong!" Zhang He suddenly realized something, "Zijing, why are you staying here? Why don't you bring back all the supplies from their camp to me?!"

"Oh? Oh, oh!" Qianzhao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, suddenly realized, and quickly led his army to the north.
