Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80 Battle of Baishan Mountain (2)

"Urna, you will be in charge of the west side today. You must make a hole in the west side. Find out Liu Wei's reality!" After returning to the position, Tan Shihuai faced a strong man beside him The Xianbei leader said.

"Yes! Great Chanyu, I will definitely bring Liu Wei back to you, and then let the Great Chanyu take care of you." The leader named Urna said.

This Urna is one of the few generals among the Xianbei people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei, Wuheng and the Huns saw constant friction, and there were many battles, but as long as Urna was the commander of the Xianbei war, The Xianbei must have won, because Urna was not entirely a Xianbei. One of his ancestors once lived in the Central Plains and married a Han woman as his wife. There are some broken and incomplete military books in the book, which are said to have some connection with Sun Tzu's Art of War, so Urna is considered to have learned the art of war, so he was able to be invincible on the grassland.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The drums and horns sounded, and a large number of Xianbei cavalry shouted and charged towards the mountain.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Liaodong Army on the top of the mountain shouted in unison, not to be outdone.

"Go to the camp first and get ready!" Qu Yi raised his right hand when he saw the Xianbei cavalry rushing up the mountain.

A thousand steps!Qu Yi muttered silently in his heart.

Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!

Eighty steps!
"Strong crossbow, let go!" Qu Yi yelled, and swung his right hand down fiercely!
"Swipe!" Hundreds of hard crossbows shot out long arrows with wooden body and iron head more than one meter long.

"Ah!" Someone in the Xianbei cavalry immediately screamed, and this hard crossbow can not only hit people, but also has penetrating power. Xianbei people lack money and iron, and most of them wear leather armor, so the arrows shot by this kind of crossbow After shooting the first person, it can continue to kill the enemy, so most of the crossbow arrows can kill three to four Xianbei people, and one of them even killed eight Xianbei people.

This round of salvo caused the Xianbei to lose nearly 1000 people.

"Archers, let the arrows go!" When the Xianbei people were fifty steps away from the Liaodong Army, Qu Yi waved his right hand fiercely again.

This time, everyone who entered the camp first drew their bows and shot arrows, and all five thousand arrows shot into the crowd of Xianbei people.The Xianbei fell to the ground again.

"Go to the camp first, retreat!" After two rounds of shooting, seeing that the Xianbei cavalry was about to rush to the front of the first camp, Qu Yi directly ordered to withdraw the first camp from the first row.

Seeing that the first camp had withdrawn, Zhang He and Gao Lan immediately commanded the euphorbia soldiers and rushed to the first row of the position.

But the Xianbei people saw that they were about to rush into the Liaodong Army's position, and they all screamed, but they didn't want to have more stupid horse pits under their feet. Once the horse's hoof sank, coupled with the forward momentum, the horse's hoof It will be broken, and then the Xianbei cavalry on horseback will be thrown to the ground severely.It doesn't matter if the soldiers in front fall to the ground, the cavalry behind will also be affected, making them unable to move forward. Once the cavalry loses their mobility, their combat power will be inferior to that of the infantry. Moreover, the Xianbei cavalry all use sabers, while the euphorbia soldiers all use sabers. Long halberds did not have an advantage in weapons. At this time, Zhang He saw the opportunity and commanded the halberd soldiers to charge forward, stabbing the cavalry on horseback upwards, and stabbing down the remnant soldiers who fell to the ground because of the horses.

"Hula la!" The Xianbei cavalry came and went quickly like the tide, leaving only the corpses on the ground and their companions who were injured and unable to move, wailing on the ground.

"Clean the battlefield, or just live. Madu will be brought back to make rations, and then the corpses will be thrown aside, ready to be piled up into a Jingguan!" Liu Wei hastily ordered to clean the battlefield after Xianbei's first wave of tentative attacks.

"This! My lord, they have no ability to resist, and some have even surrendered to us. Are they going to kill the prisoners?" At this time, Zhang He was still very young, and he still couldn't understand Liu Wei's order not to die. It's a little too cruel to do so.

"Why, are you still planning to keep them to waste our little rations?" Liu Wei sneered.

"This subordinate doesn't mean that. I just feel that killing prisoners is morally unjustifiable. Since the lord insists on killing them, it's up to the subordinate to execute it."

Seeing that Zhang Xi still didn't understand what he meant, Liu Wei patiently persuaded him: "Junyi! Even if we have enough rations, we can't keep them. First, we don't have enough troops. If we keep this group of people, we have to divide our troops to take care of them." They, this will increase the pressure on each position. Second, if they mutiny and unite with the Xianbei soldiers outside, it is very likely that we will not be able to hold our positions and will be defeated. Maybe you will say that there are not many prisoners, but today there are A few hundred, and a few thousand more tomorrow, the accumulation will make a lot, sooner or later something will happen, a man can't have the kindness of a woman. Do you understand!"

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Zhang Yun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, with a flash of determination in his eyes, and said, "Your subordinate understands." He turned around and went to the soldiers cleaning the battlefield and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't you! Keep alive, and kill all the prisoners on the spot!"

"Junyi! You!" Gao Lan, who was cleaning the battlefield with the soldiers, was about to say something when he heard Zhang Yun say this, but seeing the firmness in Zhang Yun's eyes, he suddenly felt that his good brother had changed, became He is so strange that sometimes I don't even recognize him.

"Jingzhi! Don't talk too much, let's carry out the order!" After speaking, Zhang He stabbed a Xianbei soldier in the throat with arrows in his shoulder and leg and was unable to move.Then he closed his eyes.

After a while, Zhang Xi opened his eyes with a strange look in his eyes. He picked up the spear and killed the wounded soldiers on the ground one by one.

At this moment, Zhang Yun had an epiphany, understood the cruelty of war, understood that war means death, and war means killing.

On that day, the positions of the Liaodong and Wuheng coalition forces on all sides were attacked tentatively to varying degrees, but the losses were not large.Counting the number of people at night, the Liaodong Army lost less than 200 people, and the death toll was only 410, but the number of injured reached 120, including [-] and [-] seriously injured.On Wuheng's side, the casualties were a bit higher, with more than a thousand casualties.

"Oh, it looks like this is a tough battle!" Liu Wei couldn't sleep at night, and ran in the barracks with his clothes on, sighing to the sky.

"My lord, are you still awake so late?" Xia Houlan, who was in charge of the night, saw Liu Wei counting the stars with his head up, and asked over.

"I can't sleep! This battle is evenly divided. It mainly depends on how Boping performs. I don't know how Boping is preparing now, and whether he can arrive as scheduled!" Liu Wei sighed again.

"My lord, don't worry about General Gao. General Gao has always been rigorous in his work and never missed anything. My lord, you should rest earlier. Xianbei is only a tentative attack today, and tomorrow's battle may be even more tragic." Xia Houlan persuaded Liu Wei Go to bed early.

"Well, then I'll go back now!" Liu Wei walked back to the tent slowly.
