Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 339 Take the initiative
The cavalry is most afraid of dense formations. Once the horses riot, it will cause huge disasters.

Therefore, when the cavalry is in formation, the distance between the cavalry is very large in most cases. After all, animals are different from people. Soldiers will trample on each other when they panic, not to mention animals that are more prone to riots than humans.

Only in rare special cases will the cavalry charge in a dense formation.

A large number of Xianbei cavalry were shot and killed by the giant crossbow of the Xiliang Army. The corpses of soldiers and horses quickly blocked the way forward. However, the cavalry couldn't hold back and kept rushing forward, squeezing the formation more and more densely. Under the continuous shooting of crossbow guns, a riot was finally triggered.

Countless horsemen stood up, raised their heads and neighed, and threw the Xianbei cavalry off their horses.

The rioting horses quickly trampled countless Xianbei cavalry into a pulp. The number of Xianbei cavalry who were actually shot and killed by the giant crossbow was at most two to three thousand, and the vast majority of them trampled to death after the horse riot.

The real disaster has just arrived at this time.

Manyi Valley has become a slaughterhouse for the Xianbei people. The rioting horses kicked furiously with their hooves, wanting to rush out, regardless of whether they were of the same kind or people around them, and none of the Xianbei people who fell from the horse were spared from being trampled on. Tendons folded.

Of the [-] cavalrymen of the Tuoba tribe who fled back in the end, only less than [-] remnants were defeated.

And these Xianbei people who fled back were all devastated, and they no longer had the slightest fighting spirit.

The Han army is in the rear, above the tower.

Jia Xu's complexion changed, and he said quickly: "My lord, I'm afraid Pu Tou won't dare to fight anymore."

Fazheng also said: "If Putou retreats, there are still [-] cavalry who have not moved, and our army will have no chance. My lord, you can order the infantry to take the initiative to step out, so as to embolden the Xianbei people and attract the [-] cavalry from Putou to pour out. Fight hard to create conditions for our army's cavalry assault!"

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and said decisively: "The messenger Gao Shun quickly took the initiative to attack."

"As ordered!"

The officer on duty has long responded loudly and quickly passed down the military order.

Before the battle, there was a sea of ​​corpses.

Gao Shun stood on a high platform and was scanning the station.

"General, my lord has orders!"

An adjutant next to him saw the semaphore of the Chinese army, his face changed, and he immediately said loudly: "My lord ordered the army to take the initiative to attack."

"Ok?"

Gao Shun's eyes were fixed, and he immediately understood the key point. He waved his hand and shouted: "Order all the ministries to quickly clean up the battlefield, and all the ministries to withdraw the wounded soldiers to the rear camp. Quickly assemble and line up, and attack with this general."

"As ordered!"

More than a dozen messengers immediately ran separately and quickly passed down the military order.

Xianbei right wing.

After Tuoba Liwei received the news, he vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot and fell off his horse.

Ke Bineng wiped off his cold sweat. He had expected that the Han army would not be so easy to deal with. He didn't expect these cunning Han army to have such terrifying weapons. Fortunately, there were many soldiers in the Tuoba tribe. not coming.

The left wing of Xianbei, Fu Luohan, is taking pleasure in other's misfortune.

Xianbei Central Army.

"what?"

Pu Tou was shocked when he received the news, and said sharply: "How is it possible, the Tuoba tribe also lost?"

The confidant wiped his cold sweat and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The Han army has created a terrifying chariot, which can shoot long spears hundreds of steps away, and can shoot ten long spears at a time. There are hundreds of chariots. Your Majesty didn't see it, it was really horrible, the horses were pierced through, and the lethality of bows and arrows was many times more terrifying. The cavalry of the Tuoba tribe couldn't charge through at all, and even the people and horses were directly shot to death. The road was blocked, people behind couldn't get through, and a riot broke out."

Pu Tou was terrified when he heard this, his face turned blue and pale for a while, and his eyes gradually turned red.

After the confidant finished speaking in one breath, he broke into a cold sweat with lingering fear, and hurriedly urged the horse to step aside.

At this moment, another confidant urged the horse to run over, and said loudly: "My lord, there are only more than 2000 remnants of the Tuoba tribe left. Master Tuoba Liwei vomited blood and fell off the horse. Now he is unconscious."

"what……"

Pu Tou yelled and was speechless.

A confidant asked: "My lord, what should we do now, should we continue to attack?"

A leader next to him said: "So many people in the Tuoba tribe have died, and the road is blocked, how can we attack?"

"but!"

Next to him, Xianbei Qianfu said: "Besides, where did Luo Zheng's cavalry go? It has not yet appeared. If the [-] Wangting cavalry also suffered heavy losses, if the Han army cavalry is killed, what can we do to stop it?"

"What are you afraid of!"

A Master Wan said angrily, "When did our Daxianbei warriors become so afraid of wolves and tigers?"

"It's not because I'm afraid, I'm thinking about the overall situation."

The Xianbei leaders who disagreed to continue the offensive retorted one after another, finding reasons for themselves.

Pu Tou hesitated, not knowing whether to continue the attack.

The tragedy of the Tuoba tribe poured cold water on the heads of all the Xianbei people, completely extinguishing the dreams of the Xianbei people.

Only at this time did Xianbei realize that the Han people are not weak sheep.

The great Xiongnu Empire, which used to be powerful for a while, fell apart under the attack of the Han people. It was only because of the change of dynasties and the frequent civil strife among the Han people that the Xianbei people gradually forgot this period of history.

Until now, all the Xianbei talents are dreaming like a dream.

The Han people are tigers, but usually this tiger sleeps most of the time, even if it is harassed by a few bugs from time to time, it will not easily show its ferocious minions.However, once the tiger wakes up from its deep sleep and shows its fangs and claws wantonly, no matter how ferocious the wolf is, it will be torn to pieces by the tiger's claws.

As early as when Luo Zhengfu town Xiqiang massacred foreigners, many nomadic tribes woke up at that time.

However, the most powerful Xianbei people on the Mobei prairie have always been immersed in the glory of Tan Shikai's dominance of Mobei and the Han people who led the Xianbei tribes to fight, and did not pay attention to the Han people who bared their fangs.

Until this moment, the Tuoba tribe was directly disabled, and all the Xianbei people woke up from their dreams.

Compared with Fuluo Hanbu and Kebinengbu, Tuobabu was much miserable.

Even compared to Budugenbu who was also disabled, Tuobabu was several times miserable.

Not many Fuluo Hanbu and Kebinengbu actually died in battle, most of them were just wounded soldiers. As long as they can survive, some people will survive, so that they will not fall into a slump and be reduced to the use of other tribes.

However, the more than 7000 cavalry of the Tuoba tribe who did not come back were all dead. Even if they were not dead, if they could not escape, they would definitely be cut off by the Han army to ask for credit, which is no different from dying on the spot.

Don't look at the more than 2000 people from the Tuoba tribe who escaped back, but looking at the faces of those people, you can tell that the Tuoba tribe is over.

When Putou was still hesitating whether to continue the attack, Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan sent people to urge them at the same time. They all said that although the Tuoba tribe suffered heavy losses, they would definitely defeat the Han people. Please send troops quickly and defeat them in one fell swoop. Han army camp.

"Fu Luo Han, Ke Bineng!"

Pu Tou's face was gloomy, and he called out the two names word by word through gritted teeth.

He knew exactly what the two of them were planning, but they just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Now all the soldiers and horses have gone to battle one after another, the Budugen and Tuoba tribes have been disabled, the Fuluo Han tribe and Ke Bineng tribe have not many soldiers and horses, and almost all of them are wounded. The only ones who can still fight, Only his Huang Wan elite cavalry was left.

While Pu Tou was still hesitating, a new situation suddenly appeared ahead.

"My lord, the Han army has taken the initiative to attack."

A fast horse rushed over like the wind, and said loudly.

"Has the Han army attacked?"

Pu Tou's eyes were condensed, and he asked sharply: "But Luo Zheng's cavalry?"

Laiqi said loudly, "It's not cavalry, it's Han infantry."

"what?"

Pu Tou yelled, his face turned extremely ugly in an instant, he gnashed his teeth and said: "It's really deceiving, mere pawns, just hiding in the camp and doing some tricks, it's just too arrogant to even take the initiative to chase them out."

"Your Majesty, order the attack!"

A Xianbei leader roared angrily: "It's fine for the damned Han people to hide in the camp. If you dare to chase them out, your majesty will let those despicable Han people see what real bravery is. Your majesty, give an order!"

"Yes, please hurry up and give the order."

A Xianbei leader joined him, "The chariots of the Han army are too big and inconvenient to move. If we hide in the camp, we can't do anything with them. If it comes to see how long these cunning Han people can be arrogant, I will The army can completely cut open the front of the Han army, launch an attack from the two wings, and smash the Han in one fell swoop, killing every single one of them."

Some people also said: "The cavalry of the Han army has not yet appeared, what if the large army is attacked by surprise?"

"Fuluo Hanbu and Kebinengbu are still capable of fighting, how could they be attacked by surprise?"

The leader who wanted to attack immediately retorted that Fu Luo Han and Ke Bineng were on the left and right flanks. Even if the Han army cavalry raided, only Fu Luo Han and Ke Bineng could protect the left and right flanks. Now is the best chance to defeat the Han army , can't miss it.

Pu Tou hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send my military order, the whole army will attack."

"As ordered!"

An orderly had already roared and urged the horse to gallop away.

Soon, the sound of bull horns soared into the sky, and the [-] Wangting cavalry in the central army finally attacked.

On the left wing of Xianbei, Fu Luohan was sneering.

Xianbei is on the right wing, while Ke Bineng is suspicious.

The Han people are so cunning, how could they leave their solid camps unused and instead take the initiative to attack.There is a saying in the art of war of the Han people that one should use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, but the current approach of the Han army is obviously to use one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths. The infantry ran out of the camp and actively pursued the cavalry. It is an act of courting death, how could the Han people do such a stupid thing.

The only possibility is that the Han people are probably playing some tricks again.

That idiot in Putou actually dared to attack.

Ke Bi Neng was the most thoughtful, and immediately ordered the army to be on alert, ready to run away at any time.If the situation is urgent and the situation is not good, the Chinese army in Putou will be ignored, and they will run away first, who cares about Putou's life and death.
