Chapter 315 Vulnerable

The arrows of the county soldiers and crossbowmen swept like a storm.

The seizure in Zhuojun's arsenal made it almost impossible for Li Chongjiu's county soldiers to use crossbows for two people, even the elite of the Sui army's army could hardly match.

In the pre-war crossbow tests, arm crossbows can generally penetrate two pieces of leather armor within fifty steps, step crossbows can penetrate three pieces, and waist crossbows can penetrate five pieces.

The soldiers of Zhuojun County under Xu Ke's command adopted three ranks and took turns to give alms. This method of warfare is similar to the method of three-stage shooting of muskets in later generations.

At the same time, when the county soldiers shoot arrows in front, they will pass the crossbow after the shot, and the Goguryeo auxiliary army will load the crossbow and send it to the soldiers, so as to increase the speed.

The crossbow array swept past, and the soldiers of the Mohefu tribe, who were relying on wild boar leather armor, were shot twice, and the charge was thinned out in an instant.

For example, the tribal army also charged forward with the brave and led the rest of the soldiers forward, so the first round of crossbow arrows shot and killed all the brave men of the Mohefu tribe.

But even so, the soldiers of the Mohefu tribe still gritted their teeth and rushed to the camp.

"Die!" Tsui Hark snorted coldly, and immediately a red flag and a black flag were erected at the gate of the camp.

Immediately there was a bang, and the hanging boards in front of the three camp gates were all lowered heavily, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.

The Mohefu soldiers who rushed to the camp gate only saw densely packed rifles appearing at the camp gate, as if standing upright like a black forest.Immediately, the front army put down the rifles together, and the Han army, who was covered with a layer of heavy armor, rushed out suddenly holding the rifles.

Shuertan's younger brother, Chahan, is the most valiant warrior of the Mohofer Tribe. Immediately, he raised two giant axes and led a hundred Mohofer Tribe fighters to charge back, trying to block it and give the soldiers who charged behind him a blow. catch my breath.As a result, before resisting for a moment, they were all stabbed down. Chahan blocked dozens of times with his two giant axes from left to right, but finally fell to the ground with his subordinates, while the Han army only broke three or five rifles. .

The infantry of the county soldiers is arranged like fish scales, and the front and rear are meticulously arrayed, and the charge is as fierce as a porcupine, rushing forward and backward among the soldiers of the Mohefu tribe, invincible everywhere they pass, and blood and flesh are flying everywhere , Fracture crackling.

Under the eight-foot-long spear, it doesn't matter if it's leather armor or iron armor, it's the same.

The Mohefu tribe was completely defeated, throwing away their helmets and armor, and the Han army's county soldiers then slaughtered, and the heads immediately rolled.

At this time, the Khitan Khan Dahe Duoluo, who was watching the battle from above, was furious when he saw it, and said: "This is the end of non-stop orders."

"Khan, this is what the Mohofer Department asked for. We can't blame us."

Da He Duoluo took a deep breath and said: "The demise of the Mohefu tribe is not good for us. I didn't expect this battle to go to this point. Go, save them."
Immediately, [-] Khitan cavalry appeared on the flanks of Mohefu's troops, and rushed to rescue at this time.

Tsui Hark laughed and said, "Don't chase, go back to camp!"

After talking about the camp gate, the soldiers in front of the gate picked up hammers and tapped the copper gongs, and the sound of ding ding came, and the county soldiers who were charging stopped, gave up hunting and retreated to the camp.

The soldiers of the Mohefu tribe were lucky enough to escape with their lives, otherwise the Mohefu tribe would have been removed from the five tribes of the Xi clan after this battle.

Xi Ren, who looked down on the Khitan people for fear of fighting before, finally understood how terrifying the Han army's combat power was.Not to mention the strong crossbows of the Han army, Mohefu's troops, relying on their individual bravery and not following the formation of the charge, are no different from the mud and sand in front of the Han army's rifle formation.

The nearly [-] Mohofer corpses lying in front of the gate of the Han army camp like broken leather bags are enough to explain everything.Mohefu lost one-tenth of its troops, was severely injured, and the morale of the army was slackened, and it was no longer able to fight.

After Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

The infantry of the Han army slowly returned to the camp with their rifles on their shoulders, but Xu Ke looked calm, and the generals under his command did not show any signs of success. A newly promoted general, who did not know the details, immediately congratulated Xu Ke and said: "General! With [-] soldiers, defeating the enemy's [-] troops, you are truly a famous general!"

Xu Ke smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and said: "The reason why our army is able to win is that our armored soldiers are strong and well-trained."

A general who returned from the expedition also said: "Back then, Li Ling marched across the Great Wall with 10,000 soldiers and struck them with a strong crossbow. The [-]+ Huns were helpless. This is the elite. What are we? We can't be happy if we win. , It is shameful not to win."

Hearing what Tsui Hark said, the general immediately blushed.

At this time, on the battlefield, without the support of the Mohefu tribe, the Qilu tribe lost the upper hand after being ambushed by the Mohe tribe in the forest, but finally maintained the battle situation thanks to their large numbers of people. The battle was even.

Sitting in the big tent, the royal family of disgrace He Jin Womandu was still drinking wine in a leisurely manner.When he heard the news of the defeat of the Mohefu tribe, Omandu immediately dropped the wine bowl, smashed it on the ground, got on his horse and said to the generals: "It's time to get serious, tell the children, just go forward and don't need to fight." If you step back, if you have a wound on your chest, you will be rewarded with a sheep, if you get a wound on your back, your wife and children will be the same people."

Following what Omandu said, all the generals of the Xi clan took orders together.

Ding Lingren who hid behind the tall chariot had a great time shooting with the royal tribe of Hunhe.The battle dragged on for a long time, and Dingling felt that it would not be a problem for them to fight against the [-] men of the humiliating king with [-] troops, and the soldiers were quite complacent.

But after the sound of the arrows above the head stopped, everyone was quite surprised. There was a person lying on the ground, looking forward through the wheels of the car, and suddenly saw that there were white-haired boots in front of him.

The person on the side asked, "How?"

"Come up, the royal family of disgrace is coming up!"

"Archery, archery!"

The general of the Ding Ling Department roared, and the soldiers immediately drew their bows to the full, and looked up to reveal the high chariot. The heads of the soldiers of the Hunhe King's Department were all black, with a knife in their left hand and a leather shield in their right. The car camp is here.

"shoot!"

The soldiers of Ding Lingbu also knew that if the enemy came up to them, they would definitely not be able to fight. Therefore, this round of arrows was shot with all their strength, while the opponent's front army erected three rows of leather shields and gently pushed the arrows away. Yato blocked it.

"Shoot again!" the general ordered again.

Ding Lingbu's soldiers tremblingly put their arrows on their bows.

But at this moment, the warriors from the royal tribe of Hunhe stepped forward together and rushed towards the chariot camp of Ding Lingbu.

"Cui Tongjun, those who disgrace the king's tribe rushed forward."

Cui Xu, commander of the Dingling Division, changed his face, and then said to the prince Jin Chunqiu from Silla beside him, "We have done our best."

Jin Chunqiu nodded and said, "I know."

While speaking, the soldiers from the royal tribe of Hunhe had already approached the Gaoche of the Dingling tribe.The warriors of the Hunhe King's tribe put one hand on the back of the chariot, jumped over the back of the chariot, and fell into the crowd of Dingling soldiers.
Leaping into the crowd and humiliating the soldiers of the king's tribe, like wolves and sheep, they immediately started killing.
"Lord patriarch, the first heavy vehicle battalion has been breached!"

Cui Xu's expression changed, and he said, "So fast!"

Jin Chunqiu nodded and said, "Sure enough."

Cui Xu said angrily: "General Jin Lang, did Khan send you here to mock my Ding Lingbu?"
