The last three kingdoms

Chapter 898 The Cemetery of the Huns Cavalry

The Shu army is indeed putting on the appearance of a desperate battle, with arrows on the string and guns in hand. Although the terrain here is no longer suitable for the cavalry to form a cone or spindle formation, the formation of the cavalry of the Shu army is strict. , It is still obviously stronger than the Huns cavalry like a mob.

Battle formations are naturally not what the Huns cavalry are good at, especially in such a terrain. Gu Jian has already issued a reward order. Whoever catches up with the Shu army first will be the first. Seeing the herds of cattle The sheep are right in front of you (the rewards of the Huns are mostly cattle and sheep), which ones don't work hard, and which ones don't fight for the first place?
Without Gu Jiantong's order, the Hun cavalry rushed up like a swarm, all wanting to hold their heads in their arms.

At this moment, the two sides on the left and right were suddenly bombarded with artillery, and the Wudang Fei Army and Yang'an Army of the Shu Army who had already ambushed here came out from the left and right respectively, and blocked the way of the Huns with their vans. damn.

be cheated!
Gu Jian's complexion suddenly turned into the color of a pig's liver. When Ma Fei reminded him just now, Gu Jian still didn't take it seriously. He thought that the Shu army had just arrived, and they might not even be familiar with the terrain here, so how could they set up an ambush here? .

Now it seems that Jian Gujian did underestimate the IQ of the commander of the Shu Army. Although Liu Yin has never been to Daluze, this does not prevent him from understanding the terrain around Daluze.In fact, it is also very simple. Liu Yin only needs to ask a local person who is familiar with the terrain, and he can fully understand the situation near Dalu Ze.

In fact, that's what Liu Yin did. Although he had expected from the map that there must be a lot of swamps and wetlands around this ancient Daze, Liu Yin still specially summoned them for the sake of prudence. Several local people who are familiar with the situation in Dalu Ze made detailed inquiries, and after learning the details, they planned an ambush plan near Dalu Ze.

When the Tiger Cavalry Army launched an attack on the Huns in Qingmayuan, the Wudang Flying Army and Yang'an Army had already quietly entered the Zehu District of the mainland and set up a network of heaven and earth. Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo secretly followed Fu on the road. He left some marks that only the Shu army could understand, so that Fu Zhu would not lose his way when he evacuated.

Fu Zhu lived up to expectations and led [-] Hun cavalry into the ambush circle.

Wudang Feijun and Yang'an Camp are now composed of three battalions, and they are also 3 people. If [-] infantry are going to fight an ambush by [-] cavalry in the plains, it is simply humiliating themselves. [-] cavalry An easy impact can cause the formation of [-] infantry to collapse.

But in the swamps, the situation was very different. The Tiger Cavalry Army who had retreated to the lakeside of the mainland all watched from the sidelines, leaving the battlefield to the Wudang Fei Army and the Yang'an Army.

In fact, the Tiger Cavalry Army has nothing to do here. Its role is to lure the Huns here, and there is no need to worry about the rest.

When the Huns found out that they were in an ambush, their first thought was to escape. If they changed the terrain, it is very likely that the Huns cavalry would launch a counterattack and tear the opponent's ambush circle to pieces. But here, it is obviously impossible. Everyone in the Huns knew that this swampy terrain was a nightmare for cavalry.

Many Hun cavalry turned around and fled without waiting for Gu Jian's order, but the narrow road had seriously affected the formation of the Huns. In the panic, many cavalry collided with themselves, and some fell off their horses. He was quickly trampled into the mud pit by the horse's hoof, and had no chance to get up again.

But those Huns cavalry who had turned their horses around could not find a way to escape at this moment. The Shu army had already prepared to discharge the vans on the only way the Huns must pass, and sealed those roads tightly. , even if the Huns cavalry had wings, it was difficult for them to fly over. Before they could get close to the van, the crossbow arrows shot from behind had already shot over like locusts. The Huns and horses were shot one after another, causing casualties. Blockbuster.

The [-] Hun cavalry were like turtles in a urn at this time, all retreat routes were blocked, and there was no chance to break through.

Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo respectively commanded the Wudang Fei Army and the Yang An Army to attack from the left and right sides. The sharp rain of arrows almost covered the swamp. Although everyone wore shields, the shields used by the cavalry They are all relatively small and thin, and it is difficult for them to play a good protective role in the face of all-pervasive arrows. There will always be arrows that find a gap and give the Huns a fatal arrow.

Gu Jian ordered the Xiongnu cavalry to fight back. The most urgent task is that they must stand firm and not be scattered by the Shu army.

However, the bow and arrow counterattack of the Huns is very limited. The infantry of the Shu army is equipped with thick square shields, which can provide full protection from head to toe. The soldiers provided protection, so the Huns' arrow counterattack failed.

At this moment, the Shu army's attack is very fierce. Although these swamps will have some impact on the infantry's actions, they are definitely not as big as the cavalry. What's more, Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo have already been attacked from that route. After stepping on the point, they know where they can go and where they can't go.

The Shu army continued to attack, and the sharp attack quickly divided the Huns' cavalry.

Gu Jian immediately realized the danger. If the Xiongnu soldiers can still hold together at this time, they can effectively resist the impact of the Shu soldiers. Once they are divided and surrounded, they will soon face the end of the entire army.

Gu Jian ordered the Xiongnu cavalry to counterattack tenaciously, trying to gather the scattered troops back together, but in the muddy wetland, this effort seemed very pale.

The advantage of the cavalry lies in speed. The huge inertial impact generated by the high-speed gallop is the terrible thing about the cavalry. In the muddy swamp, the Hun cavalry's speed advantage cannot be brought into play at all. Moving with difficulty, such cavalry will not affect the infantry at all. On the contrary, because people and horses have big targets, they often become live targets for bows and arrows.

The encirclement circle of the Shu army was not tight, they just blocked the passable roads, and the remaining large area was unguarded. At this time, the anxious Hun cavalry would often plunge into the swamp, trying to get out of the swamp. escape a life.

But the ruthless swamp is like a prehistoric monster, devouring all life that enters his territory. The huge swamp has become the cemetery of the Huns cavalry. When they fall into it, they are either swallowed by the swamp, or difficult to move, and hunted down by the bows and arrows of the Shu army. The top of the swamp and quagmire was completely stained red with blood.
