The large gully land in the northeast is a typical area of ​​folds of hills. Faults and ditches have become the mainstream of this area. The roads are twisted and twisted, winding, deep and dangerous, and strong winds are sometimes whizzing through the cracks of the rocks.
Smooth rocks and rugged mountain paths are not suitable for horse racing, and it is dangerous to ride on horseback. If you accidentally step on some gravel, you may lose your center of gravity and fall down the hillside as soon as your feet slip, or even fall into the valley. Even if you are lucky enough to die, you will break your hands and legs...
Ding Ling's head man was staring at this ravine land...
He is waiting for wolf smoke.
The Dingling people's civilization inheritance is very fragile, so fragile that there is almost no connection between tribes. What one tribe knows, the other tribe may be confused. And when most tribe leaders sit in the position of leader, they think of not knowledge or spiritual and cultural development, but just cattle and sheep population and personal wealth.
Therefore, the only way for Dingling people to transmit information now is the one-way wolf smoke.
Ding Ling's head man had to rely on the wolf smoke rising from the overhang of the big gully to determine the signal of attack.
Until the smoke rose from the big gully, Ding Ling's man let out a long sigh, then a happy look appeared on his face, and he turned his head and shouted: "The Han people have fallen into the trap!"
『Oh oh oh oh oh…』
"The Han people have fallen into the trap, they have fallen into the trap!"
The messy cheers rang under Huangyaling.
"My boys! Get on the horse! Let's kill the dogs!" Ding Ling's man shouted loudly and waved his arms, just like the Han generals in front of him, and he was about to kill the Han generals with one knife. "If you kill these Han people, we can go to Yinshan! Cattle, sheep, food, and cloth are all ours! Ours!"
"Oh oh oh!"
There was another cheer, and then, led by Ding Lingtouren, he began to get on his horse, waving his swords and guns to attack the rear of the Han army.
No one is born to fight.
The reason why future generations do not do stupid things from their predecessors will become smarter and smarter is not because future generations are smarter than previous generations, but because previous generations have recorded the losses and pains that have suffered so that future generations will not repeat the same mistakes.
This group of Dingling people obviously did not have this inheritance, so they did not expect that the Han people might use their plans.
In the big ravine, a Han army marquis said with a smile: "These fools are really obeying the command... the entire army stops and arranges the formation!"
The Han people did attack the big gully, and as Dingling expected, they had to get off the horse and fight in the field due to the terrain of the big gully, but the Dingling people did not expect that the Han people only pushed forward a piece. After giving Dingling people a certain amount of pressure, they stopped and began to arrange an array at a high place, an array of 300 people, with shields outside and crossbows inside. The people in front held the Buzi halberd and long spear, and placed them on the small cavalry shield, and the one behind them began to prepare crossbows and arrows.
Junhou swam in the gaps in the array, reminding him from time to time, and finally stood in the array, shouting: "I'm waiting, the meat is delivered to the door, and it depends on your ability!"
The Han soldiers in the array burst into laughter, as if they were about to usher in not a battle, but an outing.
Facing the Han people stopped attacking and searched for high places to form formations on the spot. The Dingling branch, who was used as bait in the large gully, looked at each other and was a little at a loss.
The task of the Dingling people's bait is to lure the Han people into gullies, use the obstacles of nature to limit the role of Han cavalry, and then raid the rear of the Han people from Huangyaling, causing chaos in the Han people to chase and harvest.
But unexpectedly, the Han people stopped chasing them!
"The cunning Han people... damn, damn!" Faced with the uneasiness of their subordinates, the young commander of the Dingling branch was somewhat anxious and red. The actions of the Han people caught them off guard. If most of the Han people could not be introduced into the gully land, it would be equivalent to failure to achieve an effective tactical layout.
And the young commander was also very clear that the Han people's equipment was much stronger than the Dingling people, so they fought face to face. When the cavalry faced the cavalry, there was no good fruit from the Dingling people. So the young commander let out a howl and turned around and attacked the Han people's military formation!
Just seduce a little more, and lure a little more...
"Bow and arrow preparation..." the Han army roared.
The soldiers on the inside of the military formation put an arrow on the horn bow in their hands, raised it high, and did not fire it!
They are waiting for subsequent orders.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
『Wind! Strong wind!』
『Bang, bang bang…』
With the order of Junhou, the bowstring trembled slightly, and the arrows on it roared out. The arrows fell on the not-wide hillside in an arc, as if there was a sharp hail.
Wailing sounded suddenly, and Ding Ling's pitiful armor was in front of the arrows. Even if it was just a shot, it had no ability to resist. It was pierced through the skin by arrows, and blood was splattered everywhere!
Before Dingling could get close to the Han army, he fell down a large area of ​​arrows. Some Dinglings were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. Seeing the casualties of teammates, their hands and feet were stiff. On the one hand, they heard the orders of the young commander constantly urging, and on the other hand, they had the instinctive fear of death. However, these Dinglings who were still in the same place or retreating did not have the chance to live, but waited for the next wave of arrow rain...
『Statuate! Stay steady in the front line!』
As Dingling men approached, new instructions were issued in the Han army formation, "Prepare to impact!"
Then the halberd and spear, sword and shield stood out like a hedgehog spread out all its spikes!
Looking at the Han army's armored formation getting closer, Ding Ling people showed fear, because they felt that they were not going to fight with the Han people, but were about to hit the iron wall!
The key is that the iron wall of this copper wall is actually with sharp thorns. When you touch it a little, blood will gush, missing arms and legs!
The Dingling man who rushed in front was waving his sword randomly, not willing to get too close to the Han army formation, but he was pushed little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by the subsequent Dingling man!
As the sword and gun pierced into his body, he roared in pain, and tears mixed with blood flowed down his face...
He regretted it, regretting why he was so honest, so stupid, and so loyal to obey the orders...
The loyal and honest Dingling died, while the scammers and tricks survived.
When I saw the row of Ding Ling people in the front died, the rest was that I had no intention of fighting. I didn’t care how much the little commander Ding Ling was shouting angrily behind me, and I just couldn’t go up. Some people even began to slowly retreat...
As soon as the two sides contacted each other, the situation was one-sided.
The Dingling man, who had almost no protection, screamed and fell down like wheat chopped down by a sickle.
The sharp iron spear and iron halberd pierced straight on the Hu Ren, poking out blood holes, and then ruthlessly pulled back. The shiny spear tip was dyed red, and then stabbed forward again!
The soldiers holding the sword in the ring always couldn't reach the people, and they shouted loudly as they were on the side to slow down and wanted to leave some for themselves...
In the big ravine, Dingling people's branch was defeated but could not be beaten, and no one was chasing them, and they were defeated.
On the other hand, the main force of Dingling people also suffered a crushing defeat.
In the desert before, the impression that the Huns left on the Dingling people was too far away, making the Xianbei people in their memory an invincible existence.
After the Xianbei people split, Kirby was defeated first, and then Budugen died. Although the Xianbei people had repeated it at one time, they were ambushed by the Han cavalry. The Dingling people took the opportunity to seize the territory of the Xianbei people, thinking that they could inherit the Xianbei mantle and were the boss of the desert.
The series of battles that took place in Yuyang, Youzhou may only be a small corner in the entire series of conflicts in the Northern Region of the Great Han Dynasty, but this corner caused great harm to the Dingling people.
After suffering losses in natural disasters and failing to gain profits in foreign wars, Ding Ling's spirit collapsed very seriously...
Unfortunately, backward cultural heritage, poor military skills, and even a completely ineffective message delivery system have led to great cognitive errors between the tribes and tribes of the Dingling people. Some people think that they can't beat the Han people and are afraid to avoid them, while others think that others are too exaggerated. How can the Han people be that powerful?
It was like Ding Lingtou who came to attack Yinshan this time.
He would never understand why his plan was discovered.
He didn't even understand why the "poisonous water" he arranged along the way failed to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry.
He didn't understand even more that the world was changing too quickly...
Just like Ding Ling, the man who said he had confidence and ability, and wanted to defeat the Han people to the death, but the Han people today were no longer a hundred years ago or more than ten years ago.
After General Cavalry obtained two major horse breeding areas in Yinshan and Longyou, he received surrender from nomadic tribes such as the Southern Xiongnu, Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang, which greatly improved the horse breeding sites, war horse breeding, and war horse breeding selection.
Many Hu people who surrendered to the Han Dynasty even joined the Han cavalry as vassals, which further enhanced the cavalry of the Han cavalry. In addition, the elite soldiers and excellent generals were commanded...
Moreover, the Han army is versatile. Once they get off their horses, they can act as infantry, and when they wear heavy armor, they can act as formation-breaking soldiers. They also have good archery skills. Whether they are fighting on narrow terrain, on vast plains, or on the edge of military defense facilities, they can directly crush the Hu people.
The battlefield chosen by Dingling people is actually really good. On the left is Huangyaling, on the right is a large gully, and in the middle is a flat ground suitable for cavalry fighting. However, when the target of attack becomes Dingling people themselves, the tragedy will naturally come.
On the other hand, Ding Ling's attack failed and the large army he led was cut off by Li Dian, Ding Ling's head realized that not only did he fail to design the Han army, but he fell into the trap of the Han army...
For the Han cavalry, I really have to thank the Ding Ling for their full cooperation and conducted a practical cavalry drill...
The two Simas of the army strangled the left and right, cutting the Dingling people into three parts. The two Simas of the army also had the idea of ​​competing with each other, with spears in their hands, and amid the shouts, they crashed into the scattered queue of the Dingling people!
The moment they rushed to the formation, when the spear in their hand hit the first Dingling cavalry, the two Simas of the army let go in an instant, and then immediately pulled out the sword on their waists and slashed at the Dingling cavalry that were passing by.
The Han cavalry following the army Sima also made the same moves. Some of them almost fell off their horses because of the wrong time to let go. However, the saddle of the Takahashi and stirrup saved the mistakes of these novice cavalrymen, giving them a chance to regain their center of gravity.
Ding Ling's man obviously did not have such good luck. He was slightly hit and lost his center of gravity. He fell off his horse like dumplings. After the remaining horse ran away in a daze, he stopped at a loss and screamed for a long and short voice, not knowing whether it was wailing or calling his master.
Once you are caught in chaos, you will basically be trampled on by the mounts of both sides, and the casualties will be even more miserable than death under the sword of the enemy!
The equipment of saddles and stirrups gave Han cavalry an advantage in this regard. On the other hand, when fighting each other, the cavalry rushed to the front and went to the highway at high speed. Whoever stopped was not far from death. There was no such situation as the battle on movies and TV, where there was no victory or defeat in the battle for dozens or hundreds of rounds.
The cavalry uses the impact of the war horses, and the next opponent in front of them is the eternal next opponent. The swords and guns are constantly roaring, and all they can do is block, counterattack, and kill almost instinctively!
When the Han people cut down Ding Ling people, blood splashed everywhere after one knife. When the Ding Ling people cut down Han people, they also cut one knife. Most of the time, only sparks could be seen splattering everywhere, and jingling sounds. What flew out was not blood flowers, but armor pieces with broken silk ribbons!
The torrent of Han cavalry in front of him made Dingling despair.
Ding Ling's head broke through the siege, but he couldn't rush out. On the one hand, he was getting worse and worse, and on the other hand, he was the Han cavalry who could not beat or run away. The leader of Ding Ling's head finally realized his previous arrogance and arrogance, and at the same time he also disillused him all hope.
In despair, Ding Ling's head man took his own guard to the Han people's midfield and launched an almost suicide attack towards Li Dian's flag. Unfortunately, he was shot by an arrow halfway through the way, and he died before Li Dian even took action.
In the chaotic array of Dingling people, all resistance will collapse in an instant. Many people had already turned around and ran away. However, if the war horses wanted to turn around, they could not turn their heads in an instant like the text D, not to mention that the Han army Sima on both sides had already brought cavalry, spreading their wings like cranes, embracing Dingling people in it. Even if they escape, they would never escape.
Some of them simply surrendered, while others Dingling felt that since there was no hope, it would be better to die here in battle!
Two different ideas and two different actions made the Dingling people completely chaotic. Only the sporadic Dingling people escaped from the vortex of chaos and then fled. As for where they could escape, perhaps they didn't know, but they just gave their destiny completely to God to arrange...
The battle ended soon.
From hope to despair, it is often just a short distance.
Those who want to die may not be dead. Some Dingling people, who are not dead, are wailing in the battlefield, their voices are loud and weak, but the most common ones are still syllables similar to "Mom"...
The Dingling people who lost their fighting spirit fell to the ground. They might still be alive, but their hearts were basically dead, as if they were sealed in a dark cage. Even if the Han people did not tie them up with ropes, they did not dare to move around. They just knelt and waited, like walking corpses.
The war horse that lost his master kicked and turned back, and then found his familiar master in the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying, and then arched with his long neck and whined until he was led away.
Li Dian was clean and clean. Only the blood mud on the body of the war horse and the corners of his robe might prove that Li Dian was indeed involved in such a battle.
The excited Sima of the left and right troops swung back, each carrying blood stains, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Dian's clean armor.
"The subordinates report to the general!" Sima of the left and right army shouted loudly, with the special excitement of fighting on his face that had not completely subsided.
Li Dian nodded, "Sweep the battlefield, and then go to Dingling people's camp!"
The camp of Dingling people was not in the middle of the big gully, but at the foot of Huangyaling Mountain.
The reason is indeed very simple. Due to geographical reasons, the large gullies are all mountain valleys, hills, ravines and valleys, but there is very little water source. Even if there are some springs, it is difficult to obtain on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is not enough for large-scale people to drink.
Huangyaling is different.
There are spring water and water scattered water formed by spring water. Although it is not very large, it is enough for horses to drink.
If Li Dian and others were not familiar with the terrain and did not have a strategic map, they might have been led to the big ravine by Dingling. But now, which level of generals at the cavalry is not focusing on the investigation and familiarity of battlefield maps?
As for the problem of poisonous water along the way, the solution is actually simpler.
After the governor of Beijunzhai fell ill for no reason, Li Dian considered this possibility. Along the way, the residual snow in some places had not melted, and in this era, there was basically no need to consider air pollution...
In the camp of Dingling people, Li Dian understood the source of those "poisonous water".
Looking at the rotten and semi-rotten corpses in the pit, and even obvious signs of cutting and removing bones and flesh, Li Dian turned around and asked the Dingling man who was shaking on the ground, "Who asked you to do this?"
After the translation, Ding Ling didn't even dare to raise his head, and he stuck it on the ground and replied: "It's the head man, it's the head man who asked us to do it..."
"Who are these people..." Li Dian was slightly angry.
"...Yes, it's the weak in the tribe... that can't keep up with the team..."
Hearing this, Li Dian was a little stunned, then shook his head, sighed, turned around and ordered someone to completely bury the hole, and then ordered all the prisoners of Dingling and others to be escorted back to Yinshan.
The three-color battle flag flutters high.
The Dingling man who was trapped in a long list slowly moved forward.
The Han cavalry who returned home were cheering with great enthusiasm, as if the previous battle did not consume much of their physical strength, urging Ding Ling's prisoners to speed up.
However, Li Dian in the queue had a faint expression.
"General, you are..." Li Dian's confidant guard asked softly.
Chapter completed!
