Chapter 316 Bloody Battle

Jin Chunqiu didn't say anything after hearing this, the Han army's infantry defeated Mohefu's troops just now, it really shocked him.

He finally understood why the Han Dynasty established by the Han people was able to conquer all directions.Strong generals and sharp soldiers, well-trained, learning to array, coupled with strong crossbows and armor, holding bone arrows, serving as soldiers in wartime and serving the people in peacetime, no matter how brave the Huns are, how could they be opponents of the Han people.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, even though the warlords fought in a melee, the situation had already declined, but Cao Cao still attacked the Xiongnu in the north, broke Karasuma in the east, and suppressed the Qiang people in the west.

The deepest humiliation for the feuding Goguryeo people is that even Cao Wei's generals, such as Gongsun Kang and Mu Qiuyu, easily broke through the capital of the country, Wandu City, and almost wiped out Goguryeo.

When the Han Dynasty was strong, one general could destroy a country. At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the southern and northern conquests were invincible, but when the three expeditions to Liaodong came to an abrupt end.

Although the Sui court is weakened at the moment, Jin Chunqiu believes that Li Chongjiu is not inferior to Gongsun Kang and Mu Qiuyu of the Three Kingdoms, and even worse, and can help Silla against Goguryeo.
"Right now, the first heavy vehicle barrier of our clan has been breached. Could it be that the Khan sent you Silla people here to watch a show?"

Jin Chunqiu still smiled gracefully, and said: "The king of disgrace He refused to fight on horseback, but to fight on foot. This is our opportunity."

After speaking, there was a loud noise in front of him. It turned out that the surrounding soldiers of Ding Ling's troops had collapsed and retreated to the second heavy vehicle battalion.

Jin Chunqiu showed a slight solemn look on his face, he immediately drew his sword, and the King of Hunhe came to attack the second heavy chariot battalion from all sides.

Ding Ling's people supported them in a panic. At this time, several carts were overturned in the east of the Second Heavy Vehicle Battalion, and dozens of soldiers from the Hunhe King's Department rushed directly under the banner of Ding Ling's Department.

But at this moment, Jin Chunqiu, with a wave of his sword, greeted and rushed forward with Hua Langjun.

The offensive of the Hunhe king's tribe was going smoothly, and the vulnerability of the Ding Lingren made them let go of their hands and feet to massacre.The only shortcoming is that the formation of Dingling's vehicles is winding and winding, separating the inside of the camp. The terrain here and there makes it impossible for the army to chase and kill smoothly. go ahead.

And all this was within Jin Chunqiu's prediction, Hua Lang's army wrapped his hands in a white cloth belt, without any armor on his body, only took a short knife, and rushed out from all over the chariot camp.

Silla people are not tall, but they are nimble in their movements. They have been accustomed to close combat for a long time. They are good at close combat and respect martial arts since childhood.

At that moment, five hundred Hwarang warriors, together with Cui Xu's three hundred soldiers from the commanding army, entered the chariot camp.

In narrow places, short knives are far more effective than large knives and long spears used for chopping immediately.

Under the counterattack of the Hwarang warriors, thousands of Hunhe King's infantry who had invaded Dinglingbu's chariot camp were unexpectedly completely driven out of the camp.

Omandu was furious immediately, and after beheading several deserters, he immediately urged the army to go forward again and attacked Ding Lingbu's chariot camp.

At this time, from the camp of the Han army's central army, the drums were beating, and the gate of the camp was suddenly opened. Three thousand soldiers from the county were formed into a square formation, and Yuchi Gong led them down the mountain to support Ding Ling's troops.

Under the afternoon sun, the golden light of the armor flowed, and the infantry of the Han army wearing the bright armor shook the ground, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds stood upright like a forest facing the sky.
Naturally, Dahe Duoluo couldn't just sit back and watch Li Chongjiu, and rescued Ding Lingbu so smoothly.The infantry had only traveled less than two miles, and the Khitan tribe immediately mobilized [-] rangers to stop them.

The Khitan rode around, running left and right, and the King of Hunhe also sent [-] cavalry to cooperate with the Khitans to cut off Yuchi Gong's infantry between the Chinese army's camp and the Ding Lingbu's chariot camp.

Seeing that Khitan and Xi people were mobilized around, Yu Chigong knew that the opponent was planning to encircle him, but he calmed down and ordered the whole army to stop and line up on the hillside.

Yuchi Gong ordered his soldiers to form a circular formation, scattered barbed wire outside, and then used carbine-repelling guns to circle around the periphery.

The so-called horse-rejection gun is to take a log with a diameter of two feet, poke three cross-cut holes on it, and then insert a long spear between the three holes, prop the spear head outward, and look like a person from the side. Character.

Since the logs and long spears are readily available, the refusal carbine is like a barbed wire. It is also very convenient to arrange wherever you go when marching. It is used in key places to prevent enemy cavalry.

After the barbed caltrops and the refusal of the carbine, the infantry erected a man-high scull shield, which was densely covered. Behind the scull shield, there were Mo Daomen, riflemen, and spearmen. The soldiers each hold hard crossbows and longbows, and stand ready for battle.

In the center, a simple lookout tower with a height of one foot was built with leather bags filled with soil. Yu Chigong erected a general flag on it, commanded the whole army, and waited for reinforcements.Now the flag with the character of Yuchi is flying high, it is close at hand, Dingling is in the middle of fierce battle, the soldiers of Silla have great confidence.

How to deal with it at this time, facing the [-] Han troops who left the camp, the generals of the two armies of the Khitan Xi tribe had a dispute.

The Khitan people agreed that the Han army's strong bows and crossbows were terrifying, and if they attacked fiercely, even if they were to win, the casualties would be huge.Otto Mandu believed that his own army was more than ten times stronger than the Han army, and that the opponent was an isolated enemy who was surrounded and could be defeated in one battle.

Moreover, the position of the [-] reinforcements of the Han army is very delicate. If the Hunhe royal tribe ignores the Han army and continues to attack the Dingling tribe, there will be a disadvantageous situation of being attacked by the enemy.

The two sides quarreled, and Omandu spoke disdainfully, thinking that the Khitan people were cowardly rats, and if they did not attack, he would lead the Xi army cavalry to charge.In the end, the Khitan general was finally deeply angered by his friendly army, Omandu, and decided to launch a fierce attack immediately.

Facing the original formation, the Khitan Xi people unanimously decided to attack with all their strength, and make a quick victory before Li Chongjiu sent reinforcements.

They prepared thousands of war horses, and covered the horses with several layers of cowhide to prevent arrows. After that, the two horse-drawn carts were also covered with cowhide, and the archers of the Xi clan and Khitan were all hiding On the cart and behind the cart were two cavalry troops that could not be seen at the end. Once the cart broke through the camp, the cavalry would rush forward.

Seeing this rather novel tactics of the Khitan Xi people, Yu Chigong's eyes were also brightened, it really is that you have Zhang Liang's plan and I have the wall ladder, there has never been any constant tactics.

Facing the chariot formation of Khitan Xiren, Yu Chigong immediately ordered to shoot and kill the horses with a strong crossbow and bow.

Arrows shot down like locusts, and the Khitan chariot lined up slowly, braving the arrows. The horses pulling the chariots were blindfolded, and driven by the coachman behind them, they marched against the rain of arrows from the Han army.

Although it was covered with several layers of cowhide, the arrows could not penetrate, but Yu Chigong ordered the soldiers to wrap the arrows with cloth and ignite them and shoot them.

Although arrowheads can't penetrate several layers of cowhide, all animals are afraid of fire.

After being hit by several rockets, some war horses jumped left and right, regardless of the driver's drive, and jumped up and overturned the whole car.

Seeing this, the Khitan people could only cut off the reins of the rocket horse in advance to avoid the risk of overturning.

Under the blow of several rounds of arrow rain, the Han army had dozens more vehicles in front of the formation, burning carts, and fallen horse soldiers.

The formation of chariots continued to move forward, and when they were only fifty steps away from the Han army's position, the horses in front of them, which were not on fire, suddenly raised their front hooves and began to neigh wildly.

It turned out that the barbed caltrops of the Han army had taken effect, and the war horse stepped on the barbed caltrops and immediately broke its hooves.

The faces of all the Khitan people turned pale, and the Khitan general in front gave an order, and the hundreds of Khitan cavalry behind the chariot were all taken aback.

The Khitan general croaked a few more words, and in the end the cavalrymen had no choice but to slash their horses on the buttocks.

Under the pain, the horses waved their feet and galloped forward. Hundreds of horses rushed forward.

The Han army in the formation immediately shot dense arrows at the hundreds of horses, and the hundreds of horses immediately fell to their deaths on the way of charging, but they also successfully stepped on the barbed wire and cleared a trail. road to come.

Yu Chigong couldn't help being impressed by the Khitan general's quick wit and adaptability again.

When the chariot formation was about [-] steps away from the front of the Han army formation, the horses had already been hit by too many arrows and fell dead on the road, while the Khitan soldiers behind them began to push carts.

At this time, the arrows of the Han army shot down into the sky again. A dozen big Khitan men pushing the cart behind the cart groaned from time to time, and fell dead on the road, but immediately another person would come to take his place.

But the Khitan soldiers behind them, using the cover of the cart, successfully avoided the crossbow and rushed to the front of the Han army.

The crossbow shoots flat, while the bow can be projected. As long as there is no strong crossbow covering, the Khitan people can resist the projectile of the bow as long as they wear a leather shield.

The Khitans approaching the front of the formation also started to fight back. They took out the pebble rope, circled above their heads, and threw the stone across the air and threw it down.

The soldiers of the Han army stood full inside, and it was impossible to avoid the stones thrown from the air.Fortunately, they were all wearing thick iron helmets, so even if the stones hit their heads, they would not die, but it was inevitable that they would be smashed all over their heads.

The hearts of all the soldiers were full of anger. The Khitans had already approached the Han army's circle from all sides. At this time, it was almost dusk, and Oman knew that the night battle would be dragged on, and the variables would increase. The command of the general attack.

The Khitan Xi cavalry were all galloping on all sides, and the Khitan cavalry wielded scimitars, killing from all sides.

After a fierce battle all afternoon, the crossbowmen and archers of the Han army shot more than twenty arrows, and their quiveres were mostly empty, and the men were unavoidably exhausted, but even so, the arrows were still a huge blow to the Khitan cavalry in front of them. kill.

The Khitan cavalry were shot to the ground one after another, but the horns blew loudly behind them, and more and more Xiren Khitan soldiers rushed up.

The Khitan cavalry's eyes were also red-eyed, and their horses rushed straight towards the circle, and many of them even bumped into the horse-repelling guns.At this moment, the Khitan people are also bloody, and they are desperate. It seems that each of them deliberately bumped their foreheads against the arrowheads, and they died wave after wave. At the front of the battle, the Khitan people got off their horses and took their knives. They slashed and refused horses to snatch, and then they were shot to death row by row at the front of the Han army.

The arms of the crossbowmen of the Han army were almost dislocated, but the Khitans still rushed forward.
