Chapter 11 The dust settles
The Huns' shouts and killings gradually became lower, and what was even more shocking on the battlefield was the sound of the Taiping Army's drumbeat.
Twenty thousand arrows were released after ten waves of arrow rain, and the Hun cavalry went to the front and open the way and corpses were everywhere.
Ma Teng and Han Sui fled to the Taiping wings for a total of 50,000 troops and horses, with only less than 20,000 left. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses were charged by the Xiongnu cavalry when the battlefield changed. Some were killed by the enemy. More than 30,000 troops were killed, but only more than 6,000 casualties of the Xiongnu.
Just as the Hun cavalry took advantage of the victory to pursue the Taiping Army, after entering the 100-meter range of the crossbow, the shooting of ten waves of arrows destroyed nearly ten thousand cavalry.
Ma Teng and Han Sui, the two Liangzhou warlords and their generals, were dumbfounded and sweated coldly.
What they are proud of is the world-famous Western Liang Iron Cavalry, but this cavalry is simply vulnerable to Guo Jia's 10,000 crossbow army.
I couldn't help but ask in my heart: If Guo Jia had dealt with them, what would happen to them?
There were 20,000 cavalry in the Huns, and now there were less than 8,000 left. The vanguard troops used their bodies to open the way, which was only thirty meters away from the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army's crossbowmen had also withdrawn and did not carry out the next round of shooting.
Let the way open the way, Dian Wei, who was bald and evil, took the lead and rode his horse to the snatch of the horse. Behind him, five thousand heavy armored guards holding long spears, waiting for the battle.
The Hun cavalry had already flowed out of blood and could not be wasted all their efforts. Hu Chuquan led the remaining cavalry, not afraid of the obstacles of the snatching rifles ahead, and continued to move forward. As long as there were some more costs to pass the snatching rifles, they could use the advantages of the cavalry and kill the enemy with all their might.
The army in front of Guo Jia became a retreating crossbowmen. He stood up to observe the situation on the battlefield and couldn't help but sneer.
The Huns were really interesting. They rushed to his central army with just a stubborn mind, and they didn't even divide their troops into two wings.
Since the other party is seeking death, Guo Jia doesn't mind sprinkling salt on their wounds.
"After passing the order, the archers on both wings slowly advance, forming a siege against the Huns. Then send news to Ma Tenghan, letting them lead the remnants to take the enemy's rear."
The two wings of archers began to advance slowly, shooting arrows from the side to attack the Huns' army. After Ma Tenghan received the order from Guo Jia, he led the remaining troops to kill a retaliation. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command were only three or four thousand left, which was enough.
The Huns army violently attacked the Taiping Central Army with the force of Mount Tai. After Guo Jia used crossbowmen to shoot and kill nearly 10,000 people from the opponent, the central army had Dian Wei Huwei to block the opponent, and there were archers and Ma Tenghan on both wings, so they were attacking in a fan-shaped manner.
The war horse roared and fell to the ground by hitting the horse-rejecting rifle, opening a gap, splashing dust and blood.
Plop...
One after another, war horses crashed into the horse-repelling and fell beside them. Dian Wei, who was straddling the mount, was unmoved. The two halberds in his hand remained motionless, and his eyes were only fixed on one person.
Huchuquan
The Hun army swept in front of him, and the few cavalry left were led by the few arrows. It seemed as if there was rain of arrows on their heads, covering the clouds and sun. The archers who shot Hun soldiers with bows and arrows from the side kept firing arrows to further attack the enemy.
Smack
He rushed over with a slap in his horse, and Dian Wei looked virtuous, although his quiet expression made him look evil.
The Hun cavalry that was slashing at Dian Wei was not taken seriously by Dian Wei at all.
Passing by countless Hun cavalrymen, Dian Wei stared at Huchuquan in the cavalry team. When other cavalrymen came to him, they either waved their short halberds with one hand and took the head straight, or dodged agilely and then took the attack with a killer move.
Dian Wei noticed Hu Chuquan. Because among the cavalry in the rushing formation, Hu Chuquan was always giving orders and constantly mobilizing the cavalry behind him to continue. Dian Wei believed that he must be a general among the Hun cavalry.
Hu Chuquan noticed that Dian Wei was because of Dian Wei's majestic and mighty posture, and he was rushing all the way and was killed by Dian Wei's attack.
The two of them had locked each other less than thirty meters apart. Hu Chuquan was in a strong sense of fighting, and he held the scimitar in his hand tightly and slapped his horse to meet him.
The war horses intersected, Hu Chuquan attacked first, and the scimitar cut through half a month to take the head of Dian Weixiang, causing a sound of breaking through the air.
Dian Wei calmly held his composure with a short halberd.
bite
The weapons collided with a crisp sound.
Passing by, the first encounter is a test, the two of them are about to part with their eyes, turn their horses heads and continue fighting
This is not a fighter in front of the formation. There is no distance to sprint. The two of them are only five steps apart. Next is a melee battle immediately.
Dian Wei looks like an opponent that cannot be underestimated. Hu Chuquan dares not be careless about underestimating the enemy, but he still mistakenly estimated that the strength of both sides was compared.
The two fought again, and Dian Wei waved his hands and short halberds, intertwined from the sky from top to bottom to put Hu Chuquan to death.
when
Hu Chuquan gritted his teeth and looked at the double halberds that were holding up a scimitar to block Dian Wei.
Dian Wei snorted coldly, and his two halberds twisted the opponent's scimitar and slowly exerted force to press down.
Hu Chuquan was shocked and held the knife with both hands and used all his strength to force Dian Wei back. Seeing that the sharp blades of the two halberds were about to cross and cross on his shoulders, his heart and courage were broken.
At this time, both sides were exerting their strength, and Dian Wei had the upper hand. Hu Chuquan couldn't even retreat. If he was not fast enough, he would still be dead.
The heart was shocked and overwhelmed. Hu Chuquan thought he was not inferior to others than his strength, but the bald evil general in front of him was more powerful than him.
He made up his mind to escape, and Hu Chuquan wanted to take a risk. He wanted to shrink his head and slapped him away, but just as he was about to implement this action, Dian Wei did not give him a chance.
Suddenly increasing the force, Dian Wei's double halberd not only pressed the opponent's scimitar to his chest, but also put the sharp blade of the double halberd on Hu Chuquan's shoulder.
The hands crossed and the two halberds intertwined, and a head flew up and fell into the air.
Hu Chuquan's headless body fell off his horse. Dian Wei turned his head and went to kill other enemies. As for the heads that fell on the battlefield, he couldn't even look at them.
When the Hun cavalry rushed to the front of the Taiping Central Army, all the tiger guards in front threw out their long halberds.
Dian Wei had the ability to throw a halberd and killed the enemy. The tiger guards he trained also learned to be well-known. This method of killing enemies like a javelin was limited to the lethality of the cavalry. Fortunately, the Hun cavalry did not have heavy armor. Even if they were thrown by the long halberd, they would be knocked off the horse by the impact force.
The Hu Guard once again defeated the Hun cavalry in a short distance, and the two-wing archers blocked it layer by layer, which almost wiped out the few remaining Hun cavalry. The next battlefield was the confrontation between infantry and soldiers.
The tiger guards wearing heavy armor had a slightly less mobile ability, but they pulled out their swords and advanced step by step, fighting in close combat with the Hun soldiers, like wolves and tigers. Unless the enemy deliberately attacked the vital parts, it would be difficult to get a bargain on the tiger guards wearing heavy armor.
The tiger guards wearing dark and heavy armor slowly forced the enemy to retreat like a strong shield with a thorn, and there was no armor left wherever they passed.
Guo Jia stood on the chariot and looked at the entire battlefield. The Taiping Army's drumbeat was still loud. The central army forced the Xiongnu infantry to retreat while the Hu Guard opened the way. Archers on both sides shot and killed the enemy from the side. Ma Teng and Han Sui's remnants also attacked the rear of the Xiongnu army from both sides.
The balance of victory has been tilted towards the Taiping Army.
Suddenly, a sound of horns came from the rear of the Hun army, and the remaining Huns, who were killed and abandoned, suddenly retreated.
"Lord, the Huns have retreated, will we chase after us?"
Zhang Liao rode his horse to ask for instructions.
Guo Jia said lightly: "Let the soldiers maintain their formation and continue to move forward. Don't chase the poor enemy. We are just going to march normally."
Calculate the days, Gan Ning led Yin Ling to Wuguan and brought an order to Yan Yan.
If Yan Yan had not delayed the military order, he would have led 10,000 troops under his command to cut off the retreat of the Huns on the way to Tongguan.
He came with a grudge and hatred, and the whole army came out in full swing. Even if he ordered the withdrawal of his troops, it would be difficult to preserve his strength at this time.
The 20,000 cavalry were almost wiped out, and the 30,000 infantry were killed and injured. They first went deep into the battlefield and were surrounded, and then retreated and were chased. It would be great if they could withdraw 10,000.
The infantry of Ma Teng and Han Sui's remnants all entered the battle to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu infantry. They led thousands of Xiliang cavalry left under their command to attack the rear of the Xiongnu.
Going to the humble state is to avenge revenge. Ma Teng and Han Sui also avenged the dead soldiers, without any doubt on their determination to kill the Huns.
The Taiping Army had a neat formation, and the Tiger Guards of the Central Army, and the archers on both wings also retreated and gathered them on both wings. After completing the task of severely slapping the cavalry, the crossbow soldiers retreated. Only Xu Chu led his sword and shield soldiers to attack the Huns from the right wing and lost nearly 3,000 soldiers. This is understandable. The archers are long-range soldiers, and Xu Chu wanted to fight in close combat. Xu Chu's style of fighting will never stop. Almost half of the Huns infantry died at the hands of the soldiers led by Xu Chu.
I originally planned to keep Zhang Liao to clean the battlefield, but Guo Jia really didn't expect Ma Teng and Han Sui to surprise him.
In front of the Taiping Army, Ma Tenghan Sui led the Western Liang cavalry back, and the generals gathered in front of the formation and pushed out the Huns with disheveled heads and blood-covered faces.
"Encourt, this is the King of Zuo Xian, let me down."
Ma Chao introduced the prisoner to Guo Jia with gritted teeth.
He had no interest in Goubei, and Guo Jia didn't even look at Zuo Xianwang Goubei's expression at this moment, that didn't matter.
After drawing out the sword, Guo Jia handed it to Han Sui, saying, "Don't the general want to kill his enemy?" He didn't jump.
Han Sui stared at the sword handed over by Guo Jia in amazement, with cold light shining and murderous aura.
Han Sui did have a grudge against Zuo Xianwang, and this grudge was formed today.
Han Sui's idea was to take the captives of Zuo Xianwang back and hand them over to Guo Jia for disposal. Because the rescue was invited by the Emperor of Han, Han Sui did not dare to kill him.
"This is better to let you do it." Han Sui took a step back and gave in modesty.
Guo Jia disagreed and turned his head to look at Ma Teng. Seeing that Ma Teng seemed to be dodging, he turned his eyes to the face of the general of the Liangzhou warlords.
"He is the leader of the Huns. How many of your fellow villagers have killed? How many of your colleagues have you killed? If you think you can let him go, I'm sorry, I don't agree. I want to avenge the soldiers who died in Taiping Army. You dare not take action, I will do it."
After saying that, Guo Jia was about to swing his sword, but unexpectedly Ma Chao took the lead.
scold
The tiger-headed Zhan golden spear penetrated from behind Gebei, penetrated through his chest, and then pulled back, Ma Chao kept grimacing.
