Chapter 12 The Great Harmony of Karasuma
Under Qiu Liju's leadership, the Wuwan cavalry roared loudly, stretching their right hand with the sword spear to one side, and posing the most common raptor attacking posture of the Wuwan light cavalry. This is a tactical way for them to imitate the Han army and no longer blindly use riding and shooting. The sound of shouting in their throats seemed to be like the sound of the raptor eagle in the north! Under the light of the fire, the ring-headed sword emitted a dazzling light.
He Bai was very happy. Qiu Liju was so arrogant, so he was not polite. He shouted loudly: "Go! Let the captives see the majesty of our white horse righteous!"
More than 200 white horses Yicong immediately responded loudly, and everyone threw their bows away, but they pulled out the close combat weapons, so that the horse lance and the spear in front and the ring-headed sword in the back were also leaping on the horse and charging forward, and then they rang in and rang at the yell.
Whether it is the Han army or the Wuwan army, when they are about to hit, they will have to go into the outer circle. The light cavalry is not as heavy cavalry as the heavy cavalry, and the more they are forced into it, the more they cannot be used. It is better if the white horse is subordinate to the light cavalry with light armor, but the Wuwan cavalry is purely an armorless or leather-armored light cavalry, and must not be without mobility.
When fighting, you have to go to the outer circle to force your opponent into a ball. The most common trick of killing opponents is the most common light cavalry warfare. The weapons of the Wuwan people are not as good as the Han army, let alone the White Horse Yi joins the army. At this time, they are divided up. The Wuwan army is all hardwood spears in Yanshan. When they rush straight, they are powerful, turn around and thorn, and their strength is staggered, and they cannot borrow horsepower. The momentum suddenly appears slow and clumsy.
The White Horse Yicong was the personal guards who were carefully armed by Gongsun Zan. The first knights used horse lances, and they could not be successfully built in less than three to five years. These horse lances were very elastic and maintained the stance of rushing forward. However, when the spears were swung, they would slash at the opponent like a serpent. This attack not only had the sharpness of the spear, but also had the effect of a whip. Only the nobles of the aristocrats of the aristocrats could maintain so many horse lances.
The two sides collided fiercely at the center of the battlefield, and there were people shouting and neighing at horses. The knights on both sides screamed and scolded the fallen horse. However, the forwards of the Wuwan people were almost wiped out from the horse.
He Bai rushed to the forefront again. It is best to use horse sculptures when cavalry charge. The two iron whips are too short, which is somewhat inapplicable. So there is a long sculpture in the arm, and the horse spear in his hand is wheeled into a circle, like a long stick. However, the head of the horse spear is long and large, and the two sides are open. Although it is a method of using a long stick, it is not bad. When it touches, blood will splatter around, just like a bloody work, killing everyone in the Wuwan vanguard.
The number of the Wuwan Army has an absolute advantage. Both sides' horsepower has slowed down, but they are circled around in the center of the battlefield. The Wuwan Army behind has already rushed up with swords and spears, killing and stabbing. The center of the battlefield is not big, and He Bai tried his best to fight with Qiu Liju's personal guards, not asking other Wuwan cavalry to intervene.
Qiu Liju seemed to have no intention of asking his cavalry to come together to surround He Bai. The shouts of both sides were like thunder, killing each other continuously and falling down. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was better than who was inferior.
He Bai was involved in it and felt a little thrilling. Hand-to-hand combat was not as cruel as the artillery fire in later generations. However, both sides fought in person in the face of melee, and the killing was short and bloody, which made people even more passionate. From this, we can see the most intuitively how brave the excellent army in the era of cold weapons has reached!
Compared with later dynasties, the field capabilities of the Han army seemed to be stronger, whether in equipment, training, courage and tactics, and only the pre-Qin and later Tang dynasties could be compared.
However, after hundreds of years of stability, most of the troops in the mainland were not in charge and lost the glory of the Han army. However, the troops in the border areas, such as the Youbeiping Army, which faced the northern barbarians, remained as brave and good at fighting as they were back then.
Especially the White Horse Yi Cong Cavalry carefully selected by the White Horse General Gongsun Zan, even among the Three Kingdoms, is the most elite light cavalry unit. Now they are basically under their command. As the charge leader, they are not cowards, they immediately show that they are more capable than the Wuwan cavalry.
However, such an advantage cannot last too long. Seeing that the Han army surrounded Qiu Liju with fewer attacks, the more they fought, they immediately rushed over without regard to the order. For a moment, there were too many Wuwaan cavalry and the archers on the flank support, which made the white horse Congyi very embarrassed.
At this time, there were more than a dozen arrowheads hanging on He Bai's body. Because the arrows were bronze or bone arrows, although they were not fully armored, the arrowheads also made the skin hurt. He Bai couldn't help but roaring tigers and fighting desperately. However, the Wuwan cavalry gathered more and more on the battlefield, almost becoming a big bump. The people in front were caught, and the people in the back immediately made up, and rushed towards the center one after another.
Fu Xing and Chengzhang's martial arts are not good, but they are only different from the ordinary white horse Yicong. If it weren't for the protection of other white horse Yicong, they would have been dismissed. Fu Xing looked at He Bai, who was astonished in front of him, and was speechless when he was secretly shocked, and he was speechless when he was almost transformed into a muscular man. He hurriedly shouted behind him: "Lord, lord, capture the king first..."
A few screams finally came into He Bai's ears. He Bai seemed to have woken up from the fierce fighting at this time. He Bai thought to himself: I am not so easy to kill on weekdays, how could I forget the task assigned by Gongsun Zan?
He Baihong looked up with his eyes and saw Qiu Liju retreating back to the big blade of the back formation. The sound of horns in the back formation of the Wuwan people rang one after another, just urging him to rush forward. The Wuwan cavalry also made a ruthless move at this time, either turning into a cold body and falling off the horse, or cursing his opponent forward and using a spear to exchange for swords.
After a brief battle, Baima Yichi had already lost 20 or 30 cavalry, and the ones who died in the previous battle were almost over 100 cavalry. The Wuwan people lost more, almost three or four times that of them. However, He Bai was not satisfied. Thinking of Cao Cao's Battle of Bailang Mountain, he defeated more than 100,000 Wuwan's cavalry. He was so far behind him.
On the battlefield, there were corpses of humans, horses and corpses everywhere. The wounded soldiers who lost the war horses on both sides were still fighting each other in blood. The land in the battlefield had turned red, and the soil had turned dark red.
Seeing that the casualties of Baima Yicong were almost one-third, He Bai was heartbroken and regretful, and he was not capable of being the deputy commander. If other cavalry generals came to command the elite Baima Yicong, they would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
Suddenly, He Bai let out a roar, holding a spear in his right hand and a whip in his left hand. A single horse, without saying a word, rushed towards Qiu Liju, who was a hundred steps away. He Bai's bravery had left a deep impression on the Wuwan people before. Seeing that this Han general who used the horse spear made the Han army general who was like a big stick rushed to the formation, he kept a distance from He Bai for a while, and did not dare to push too close. He completely forgot that Qiu Liju's back formation was behind him.
Fu Xing saw the great anxiety. The lord was still not used to his identity as the commander of the first army, and hurriedly shouted: "The White Horse is following you, wherever you are righteous, life and death are the same! The heaven can be used to learn from, and the White Horse is the proof! Follow Deputy Commander He and attack!"
The white horses, who were already a little tired, heard the oath and slogans of the white horse as evidence, and saw He Bai who was still rushing forward unyieldingly, suddenly, the strength of his whole body seemed to rise again, and he responded loudly and howled, following He Bai and charged forward frantically.
When the Wuwan people saw the White Horse Yicong who was still fighting despite his poor power, they were both surprised and admired, but were more panicked. Is this Han army riding a white horse still a human? Facing a large army that was ten times more powerful than they had, they not only charged, but also killed four or five hundred elite soldiers, and at this time they launched a deadly charge again.
At this time, even Qiu Liju, who was behind the formation, was frightened. He had fought hard with He Bai before and almost fell off his horse. At this time, he saw He Bai, who was covered in blood, clashing again, while the cavalry under his command dodged like waves. He Bai's vicious face was getting closer and closer, and his expression was as fierce as a ghost. Qiu Liju immediately shouted and drove away.
When the Wuwan cavalry saw this, they were shocked. The sudden escape of the commander general caused the morale of the entire army to decline immediately. They followed Qiu Liju in a hurry and fled. He Bai was overjoyed and shouted that he would lead the troops to chase them relentlessly, slaughtering Wuwan's defeated cavalry.
At this time, countless torches suddenly rose from the south and the west, and an army in the west rushed to the scene. The generals led were Gongsun Zan's brothers Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, Le Hedang and other generals, followed by Tian Kai and Shan Jing and other generals, and Yan Gang and the faces of Yan Ji brothers also flashed in the flames.
The other Wuhuan tribes were not sure of the final answer, and saw that Qiu Liju's troops were defeated and fled first. They thought that reinforcements sent by other counties of the Han Dynasty had arrived, so they rushed to withdraw their troops. After being pursued by the Youbeiping Army, dominated by Gongsun Zan, they immediately evolved from withdrawal to great defeat, and Wuwan's cavalry was scattered everywhere.
He Bai was still the first to take the lead, holding a whip spear in his hand and rushing back and forth in the enemy formation. Seeing the gathered Wuwan cavalry, he led his troops to rush forward, and often scattered, and no more troops dared to resist. However, in the darkness, his vision was unclear, and the white horses were never followed. He Bai's army was also rushing forward, and at this time, there were fewer people and fewer horses, and in the end there were only less than ten cavalry left.
He Bai was about to return to the army, but suddenly he saw a group of dozens of horses in front of him, with the leader looking like Qiu Liju. He Bai knew that he would become a Han Yu from Wuhuan in the future and would be extremely harmful to the Han Dynasty. At this time, he took advantage of his illness and killed him, so he naturally could not let him go easily.
He Bai remained silent and led his men to drive the war horses and rushed forward quickly. Suddenly a horse rushed to the right, the wind roared, and a big knife suddenly slashed. He Bai hurriedly raised his spear and put it on the shelf. However, when he was strong, He Bai was no match for one hand, and the spear suddenly flew out. He Bai hurriedly raised an iron whip in his left hand and held the big knife. Before He Bai could not wait for He Bai to pull out the iron whip in his right hand to counterattack, he suddenly heard the strong wind coming from behind him. He Bai could not avoid it and was penetrated by a sharp arrow.
