Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 34 Confrontation
After everything was ready, Tan Shihuai left his son and his company to guard the camp, and he personally led 12 cavalry to attack Gongsunxu's camp. Among the 12 horses, nearly [-] belonged to the kind that he could not control. This time, Tan Shihuai intends to weaken the power of this part of the troops. Only in this way, Tan Shihuai feels that he can fully grasp the military power, otherwise he will die on these idiots sooner or later.

Along the way, Tan Shihuai sent a large number of rangers and assassins, in order to find out if there was any news of an ambush by the Han army within a radius of [-] miles. At present, it seems that the Han army is very responsible, and has not sent cavalry to ambush or divide the troops at all. In the big camp.

"It seems that you are waiting for yourself to attack. That's fine. You can attack the Han army with confidence." Tan Shihuai looked at the leaders who were eager to die, with a sneer on his face. It doesn't end well, no matter when it is.

The assassin of the Han army had already heard the news that the Xianbei coalition army was about to arrive at the camp. Gao Shun had already prepared. In the Han army camp, Gao Shun lay on the ground with his eyes closed and rested. The four thousand trapped camp soldiers all centered on Gao Shun Sitting or lying down, but resting.

The remaining [-] infantrymen have been stationed at their positions with the cooperation of the heavy soldiers. No one has a frightened expression on their faces. These soldiers, even these heavy soldiers, are elites who have experienced many battles. This battle can be said to have dispatched the elite soldiers of the seventh floor.

Gao Shun still had that serious expression on his face, but he was very excited inside. He knew that Gongsun Xu had started to delegate power to him. The existence of Xu Rong.

There are too many strong generals in the army. According to the ranking of force value, Gao Shun ranks eighth at most, which is about the same as Xu Huang. The main reason is that the previous few are too strong. More suitable to be a commander in chief.

However, before becoming a commander in chief, he had to subdue the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies. Ordinary soldiers worshiped the strong, and Gao Shun wanted to make his name through this defensive battle.

Suddenly, the horn sounded, and Gao Shun just slightly opened his eyes and smiled, "Here we are."

It seemed to be speaking to the soldiers around him, and it seemed to be talking to himself.After a while, the earth began to vibrate, which was the effect of 10,000+ horses running together, and then a black line appeared in the sky.

From far to near, there are Xianbei soldiers running wildly on the horses. The Xianbei soldiers still howl and show off their riding skills on the horses, hoping to use this to blow the morale of the Han army. For the elite of all battles, it was purely showing off.

In the hearts of veterans, no matter how good you are at riding a horse, you can't beat me with a single shot.The Han army began to operate. The crossbowmen and archers stood on the sentry towers or behind the shield soldiers and began to prepare to release arrows. However, the military order was not issued, and everyone was waiting.

Finally, when the Xianbei army was only [-] steps away from the Han army's camp, Tan Shihuai ordered to stop. Seeing the orderly formation of the Han army, Tan Shihuai knew that it would cost a lot to attack.

Moreover, Tan Shihuai can't feel the fear and fear of the Han army, and can maintain such momentum in front of 10,000+ cavalry, Tan Shihuai can be regarded as seeing a real elite soldier today.

After observing for a quarter of an hour, Tan Shihuai said to a leader beside him: "Langmutu, you are the most aggressive in asking for war. Now I will give you a chance. How much do you think can break through the camp of the Han army?"

The leader looked at the leaders around him and said, "With the support of the Aries, Qingyang, and Qinglang tribes, plus my 1 troops, I promise to break through within two hours."

"Hehe, since you have all discussed it, let's attack together. The four tribes add up to nearly 5 horses. I will give you enough bows and arrows. The first warrior to break into the Han camp will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep. Hundreds of fine horses, named commander, go, let the Han army see how powerful I am as a grassland warrior."

Immediately after the four leaders took orders, they ordered the soldiers of their own tribes. The commander encouraged the courage of the soldiers, nothing more than promising rewards such as cattle and sheep. For these low-level soldiers, they can earn money and go back. It is the biggest reward, which is why Gongsun Xu was able to control an army of [-] servants.Ordinary soldiers want nothing more than food and clothing.

When they were ready, [-] cavalry took the lead. Three hundred paces away, [-] cavalry mobilized their horses and charged towards the Han camp without any formation. Gao Shun had already stood up and looked at the charging cavalry with no expression on his face. As if all of this had nothing to do with him, if Gao Shun hadn't been surrounded by four thousand soldiers from the trapped camp, some people might think he was a frightened recruit.

Two hundred steps away, the cavalry began to speed up one by one. The bows of the Xianbei soldiers were not high-quality goods, and they could only shoot fifty steps away. Crossbow arrows can shoot 150 steps away, and bows and arrows can generally shoot ninety steps.

Of course, those with strong physical strength can shoot very far with a hard bow. For example, General Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Feiyan Liang and others can also shoot a three-stone hard bow to a distance of 150, but their accuracy is not as good as Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

When the Xianbei cavalry entered the 150th step, the crossbow archers released arrows under the order of the school lieutenant. The [-] crossbowmen and the [-] auxiliary soldiers were divided into three rows and fired arrows in turn. The crossbows used by these soldiers were specially made by the Liaodong military camp. Yes, based on the continuous improvement of the Qin Nu, the range is lacking, but the rate of fire has increased by five times.

Two people are required to operate the crossbow, so that the three-stage shooting can work continuously.Xianbei soldiers kept falling from their horses with arrows, but the Xianbei soldiers continued to charge forward under the leadership of the centurion and thousand commanders. When they were a hundred steps away from the Han army camp, the three thousand archers of the Han army had already begun to show their power.

So far, the Xianbei soldiers have lost nearly 2000 people, and there are still fifty steps left. As long as they cross this death zone, they can fight back. Every Xianbei soldier is ready to shoot. Suddenly, the Xianbei soldiers who charged at the front rushed to When they were [-] steps away from the Han army's camp, they were thrown off their horses one after another, and the horses neighed in pain. It turned out that the range of [-] steps outside the Han army's camp was full of horse traps.

The small pits could break the hooves of the horses galloping at high speed. The hundreds of soldiers in the front were thrown badly after falling off the horses. Before they stood up, they were nailed to the ground by several or more arrows. As more soldiers fell, Mr. Wan realized that there should be a trap.

The horses couldn't rush over, and if they rushed forward, they would only take the lives of more soldiers. Commander Wan had to order the army to retreat, but the Han army's crossbowmen did not stop. As long as they were still within range, they would attack. Immediately, he kept changing his posture, hoping to avoid this deadly arrow.

However, the Xianbei soldiers could hide from the horses, but they couldn't. One by one, the Xianbei soldiers fell off their horses and died under the hooves of their companions' horses. After escaping death, Chief Wan turned his head and took a rough look. Within fifty paces of the battalion, his ten thousand soldiers lost nearly five thousand and returned in a disastrous defeat.

Tan Shihuai looked at the defeated Xianbei soldiers from a distance, and said with a dark face, "Order, order Langmutu to continue attacking. If you fail again, come and see me."

After hearing the report from Chief Wanfu, Langmutu knew that there were traps within [-] paces outside the camp of the Han army. If these traps were not filled first, it would be impossible to enter the camp of the Han army, so several leaders added a Chief Wanfu. They gathered together to discuss how to continue the attack, but Tan Shihuai kept sending people to urge them.

Finally, a ten thousand commander suggested digging and filling the pit, but this would lose some soldiers, and a large number of shields would be needed for cover. Langmutu thought this method was quite feasible, since he didn’t have any shields in his hands, so he could borrow them from other tribes to put them together. It was enough for five or six thousand soldiers. After Lang Mutu and the other three leaders pleaded with Tan Shihuai, Tan Shihuai also agreed.

After collecting [-] shields, [-] Xianbei cavalry became infantry and went to fill the pit with shields and bags of soil. The effect was not bad. The Xianbei soldiers filled it from [-] steps to [-] steps in less than an hour. However, no matter how good the shield is, there are still times of negligence. The good archers of the Han army's archers seized these opportunities and shot and killed the unlucky ghosts one by one.

When the Xianbei soldiers wanted to continue digging and filling the pit, there was a sound of orderly steps from the Han army camp, and then the camp gate opened, and groups of steel giants rushed out. This was the soldiers who were trapped in the camp and began to attack Xianbei who was filling the soil. Soldier.

Soon, the soldiers of the thousand trapped camps fought with the Xianbei soldiers. Tan Shihuai saw a shocking scene. The [-] Xianbei soldiers were beaten by the former Han army without any power to fight back. The Xianbei soldiers kept falling, The soldiers of the Han army were just constantly changing their formations.

This is simply massacre.Even if the Xianbei soldiers are not good at foot combat, they shouldn't be so bad. Is this still the Xianbei elite under him?In fact, Tan Shihuai wouldn't be surprised if he knew about the selection and training of the soldiers in the camp and their records.

But what Tan Shihuai saw now was that 1 of his men were being chased and beaten by 1000 of the opponent. Fortunately, the cavalry on his side dispatched in time, and the opponent withdrew quickly, and when they were [-] steps away from the Han army camp He stopped and went back.

Roughly counting, my side lost more than 3000 people, and the battle took less than half a quarter of an hour, and the opponent didn't even hurt a hair. How can this battle be fought.

Fortunately, the horse trap was almost cleared up. Tan Shihuai saw that the Han army was able to come out to fight, which meant that there should be no horse trap within [-] steps of the Han army camp. Immediately, Tan Shihuai ordered another attack.

After receiving the order, Langmutu knew that he had to bite the bullet, so he once again promised to the remaining [-] Xianbei cavalry that as long as they attacked the Han army camp, whoever grabbed the cattle, sheep, horses, armor and weapons would be the one who grabbed it. to whom.

The morale that was already sluggish was brought up again. There is no such thing as an immortal in a war. As long as you can grab enough spoils, even if you will be killed, it is worth it.Langmutu did not attack in batches this time. The [-] cavalry directly pressed on, overwhelmingly rolling towards the Han army camp. The crossbowmen in the Han army camp kept shooting, and the shield soldiers had already come up to cover them.

Even so, there are still soldiers falling down. There are too many enemies. Almost all Xianbei soldiers can ride and shoot. The death toll of the Han army is rising sharply. The crossbowmen have retreated and continued to shoot. Shield soldiers and spearmen stepped forward The spear array prevents the opponent from breaching the camp. In fact, the camp is quite solidly built, and the Xianbei cavalry can only shoot from the outside of the camp.

Half an hour into the battle, the Xianbei cavalry hadn't entered the Han army's camp. They only caused some casualties to the opponent through riding and shooting, but their own casualties were even greater. It was almost a Han army soldier fighting three Xianbei cavalry. Entering the camp of the Han army, Lang Mutu knew that he was just wasting the lives of his cavalry in vain.

As a last resort, Langmutu had no choice but to ask Tan Shihuai for help, but Tan Shihuai ignored it, and gave an order: "The [-] army has attacked for two or three hours and has not broken through the Han army camp. It is a shame for the grassland people. , if the attack cannot be broken within an hour, all the leaders above the commander-in-chief will be executed."

After this military order, Lang Mutu and some leaders who tried to oppose Tan Shihuai knew that Tan Shihuai was killing people with a knife. The main reason was that Lang Mutu and others underestimated the defense of the Han army. It was impossible to break through the Han army camp the previous day.

However, in order to survive, Lang Mutu discussed with several other leaders and decided to take his life to gamble once.Immediately, Langmutu promised a heavy reward, five hundred cattle and sheep for each person, double the amount for the dead, and three ranks for the living. Finally, he summoned three thousand dead soldiers and drove six thousand blindfolded war horses away Crashed into the camp of the Han army.

Gao Shun saw that the Xianbei army had changed to a new trick, and knew that this was the last fight of the Xianbei army, so he immediately ordered: "Trap into the camp and prepare to attack, cut off the connection between the front and rear of the enemy."

The soldiers of the [-] camp, who were originally very loose, immediately put on their armor, picked up their weapons and arranged them in formation.

At this time, the dead soldiers of the Xianbei army had already driven their horses to the vicinity of the camp. Soon, the fence around the camp was broken, and the gate of the camp was also smashed. Thousands of horses rushed into the camp of the Han army. The dead also came in.

Langmutu seemed to see the hope of victory, and was about to order the whole army to enter through this breakthrough. Unfortunately, he found that only 700 of the [-] dead soldiers entered, and the rest were blocked by their companions.

In the big camp, rows of horses and large grain trucks were placed in front of the Xianbei army, just facing the gate of the camp to encircle the city in an arc.Dozens of war horses were nailed to it, and some of them were still whining. The rest of the horses stopped because they had no sprint distance.

After a while, all of them were shot and killed, and then the soldiers of the Han army took the initiative to open a gap in the horse rejection array. Thousands of horses were slowly put in and taken away by special personnel. After entering, what greeted them was the steel formation trapped in the camp and the sharp arrows of the Han army.The soldiers in the trapped camp cut the cavalry up and cut down the horse's legs, while the swords and guns of the Xianbei dead soldiers could only leave traces on the opponent's armor.

Before Langmutu's follow-up cavalry rushed up, the trapped camp had completely surrounded the group of dead soldiers with the help of the horse refusal formation, and the sword and shield hand also blocked the gap in the camp gate with a large grain truck.In this way, the Xianbei army was divided into two parts. Those outside could only rush to shoot arrows if they couldn't get in, and those inside could only wait to be slaughtered if they couldn't get out.

Tan Shihuai knew that Langmutu had been completely defeated, so he took nearly [-] Xianbei cavalry and tens of thousands of horses, leaving only a few holes outside the Han camp.Langmutu retreated again to ask for reinforcements.

Tan Shihuai said with a cold face: "The general of the defeated army wasted my Xianbei man's life for nothing. He pulled him down and cut him down. All the ten thousand commanders were killed." So what about killing people, military orders are not so easy to issue, and credit is not so easy to earn.

After several ten thousand captains and leaders were killed, Tan Shihuai arranged for his cronies to integrate the remaining [-] cavalry, and then ordered the army to return to the camp to fight another day.This time the attack on the Han army ended anticlimactically.Both Gongsun Xu and Tan Shihuai have achieved their goals. No one wins and loses. It all depends on who can have the last laugh.
