The last three kingdoms

Chapter 767 Encounter

The first batch of the Shu army to cross the river was the tiger infantry under the command of Gao Yuan. Liu Yin's instructions to Gao Yuan were to quickly land on the shore, seize a favorable beachhead, and control a depth of three to five miles, so as to facilitate the follow-up troops to cross the river and assemble .

With the cooperation of A Jian's [-]-member team leading the charge, Gao Yuan's landing operation went very smoothly.Since crossing the river in the early morning of yesterday, A Jian's team has stood firm on the east bank for nearly [-] hours. Facing the siege of a thousand people from the Huns, A Jian led the team to fight tenaciously and blocked the Huns' attack with minimal casualties. Frantically counterattacked, killed hundreds of enemies, and firmly controlled Jundu Ferry.

Now that Gao Yuan has led his troops to land, A Jian successfully completed the blocking mission. As soon as he relaxed, many members of the exhausted team passed out on the spot. They all persisted with tenacious willpower. In fact, each of them has reached the limit of the body.

"Leave it to me." Gao Yuan solemnly said to A Jian.

A Jian's body was covered with blood, and there were many gaps in the precious knife that cut iron like mud. During this day, the number of Huns who died under A Jian's knife was unknown. A Jian He forced a smile and nodded, he didn't even have the strength to speak at this moment.

Gao Yuan ordered his subordinates to help A Jian and the others go down to rest, and at the same time ordered the tiger infantry to immediately form a defensive formation and wait for it, because Gao Yuan had already seen the dust and smoke rising from the road to the east. If nothing happened, it must be the reinforcements of the Huns Killed.

Hegekun led a remnant of 200 troops and retreated to a highland in the east. The army of thousands of people was beaten to death by the Shu army's centurion. This made Hegekun vomit blood with anger. Now There were only one or two hundred people left, and it was impossible to retake the ferry anyway. Hege Kun could only retreat a little bit, eagerly waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

After this difficult night, when the dawn of the east came, Hegekun had been waiting for nothing. Finally, under the light of the rising sun, he saw the Hun cavalry galloping towards him. Hegekun was finally a leader. He let out a long sigh of relief, and hurried up to meet him.

Due to the importance of the relationship, Liu Yannian personally led the army to rush over. Seeing He Gekun's disfigured appearance, he asked the reason in a deep voice.

Up to now, Hegekun didn't dare to hide anything anymore, so he reported the situation here to Liu Yannian in detail.

When Liu Yannian heard that He Gekun actually got the news of the Shu army's smuggling and concealed it for three hours before reporting it, he couldn't help being furious: "You bastard, you dare to hide such important military information, what should you do?"

The regret in Hege Kun's heart, he should have reported it as soon as he knew this, but at that time he was simply deceived by lard, thinking that he could win the ferry with his own strength, but the result was so horrible.

"The humble staff thought that there were only a hundred or so people in the Shu army, and they could be easily wiped out, so they didn't report it in time. As a result..." Hege Kunonuo said authentically.

Liu Yannian said angrily: "The result is that you can't even beat these 100 people, and you have wasted your opportunity for nothing. You are such a fool, what use is the commander in charge of you, come here, delay and kill!"

Immediately, two personal soldiers stepped forward to drag Hege Kun, Hege Kun's face was pale, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Commander, spare your life, Commander, spare your life!"

Liu Yannian was unmoved, and the soldiers dragged Hegekun down, and chopped off his head with a knife in his hand.Liu Yannian looked around, and said in a deep voice: "He Gekun violated the military order, and the crime is unforgivable. The order will continue, and anyone who disobeys the military order and makes claims will be beheaded for public display, and there will be no light pardon."

The generals were terrified and bowed their heads to obey.

"How is the situation at the ferry?" Liu Yannian immediately asked about the situation at the ferry after dealing with Hegekun.

Immediately, a sentry cavalry reported to Liu Yannian: "Commander, more than [-] Shu people have crossed the Yellow River, and follow-up troops are crossing the river continuously."

"What a bastard!" Liu Yannian's lingering hatred for Hegekun still persists. If Hegekun hadn't made up his mind to delay the military situation, the Xiongnu army should have arrived at Jundu at least two or three hours earlier than now, and they would never have been caught In the situation where the Shu army took the lead, this Hegekun really deserved his death.

"Prepare to attack!" Liu Yannian quickly issued an order. Now every moment of delay, more Shu troops will cross the Yellow River. This will undoubtedly be very detrimental to the Huns, and it will not help to find out who is responsible now. Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to recapture the ferry and drive the Shu army who have already crossed the river down the river.

The current situation is still relatively favorable for the Huns. After all, the number of Shu troops crossing the river is not too many, only 5000 people came. Taking advantage of their unstable foothold, they immediately launched a counterattack. The hope of regaining the ferry is actually still It was quite big, so Liu Yannian decisively gave the order to attack.

The Xiongnu cavalry had driven all night. Although they were rather tired, the current situation did not allow them to rest. Liu Yannian gave an order, and the Xiongnu cavalry rushed forward and launched an attack towards the ferry.

The most effective way to deal with cavalry is of course the van, but the van is too heavy. The tiger infantry marched for a long distance and marched lightly. They did not prepare the van at all. Staying on the west bank of the Yellow River, the Shu army is now marching in lightly, carrying sidearms. Facing the sudden encounter, Gao Yuan has already been fully prepared psychologically, and has lined up long spears in front of the formation to resist the attack of the Huns. Cavalry shock.

For infantry to fight against cavalry, spear formation is the only effective tactic. Rows of sharp spears lined up obliquely, like a dense forest. When the Huns cavalry collided, the spears pierced the cavalry and horses mercilessly.

However, the impact of the Xiongnu cavalry was quite violent. The cavalry in front fell down, and the cavalry behind still rushed up without fear of life and death. Under the repeated impact of the Hun cavalry, the spear array was gradually in danger of being washed away.

It is true that the spear array is a magic weapon against cavalry, but it is only against some sporadic cavalry. If a group of cavalry launches a group attack, the weakness of the spear array will undoubtedly be exposed.

A long spear can only deal with a horse or a cavalry. After a long spear penetrates the body of a Hun cavalry or a horse, it is difficult to pull it out at once, and the Hun cavalry is using this kind of casualty in exchange for a breakthrough. After the cavalry in front is killed or injured, the cavalry behind can step up immediately and attack the spear array in turn.

The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and the entire frontier became a mess.
