Time slowly entered the second half of the night, and it would be dawn in another hour or two. However, during this time, it was the coldest and darkest time of the day. The autumn fog slowly gathered around Pingding County.
, everything around seemed to be covered with a hazy white veil.
The Xianbei people were crowded together, with many people and horses stacked in one place. There were no gaps at all, and there was no longer the same momentum as before, like a tide, rising one wave after another.
The current Xianbei cavalry, in the dim night, can only clearly see their comrades around them, but they can only have an overview of the situation in the distance, and cannot see the overall situation at all.
Da Danghu noticed something was wrong, pulled his neck and shouted, even because the current queue and situation were so bad, he was so anxious that his voice was shrill, as if he had been castrated in half, but he didn't notice: "Run! Everyone!"
Let’s all run!”
The horns whined, conveying the orders of Danghu, but now all the Xianbei people were crowded together and pushing each other. There was not much space between the horses. How could they possibly run?
Get up...
forward?
How can we move forward when the front is blocked?
Just when the Xianbei people were confused, Xu Huang, who came from the right wing, brandishing a battle ax, arrived!
"Kill!" Xu Huang led the cavalry and did not dive directly into the big dough. Instead, he chose a slightly inclined angle, like a sharp knife, slicing away the outer periphery of the Xianbei cavalry.
…
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the rear of Xianbei, which was almost unable to advance, could not get ahead of Xu Huang's troops who were attacking from the side and rear. They were immediately chopped into pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Kill!" Ma Yan waved his spear, made a diagonal circle, and turned back to charge at the Xianbei cavalry, whose speed had dropped sharply...
After leaving the caltrop area, the Xianbei cavalry who had just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that no more injured horses fell to the ground suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. In the night in front of them, the horse-drawn Han army rode fiercely.
He rushed out and made a crisp attack on the front of Xianbei, which had not yet increased his speed!
"Kill!" Huang Cheng of the Chinese army commanded the sword and shield soldiers, covering the archers and crossbowmen. Under the light of the fireballs launched by the rear army, and with no other threats, he broke away from the baggage train formation, and in the night
Moved a little to the left during the cover, and shot at the Xianbei cavalry in the exposed middle part...
Almost at the same time, the Xianbei people in the front and rear heard the horn bugles of inquiries and attacks, which were so intertwined that it was difficult for Dadaanghu in the middle to hear them clearly.
The enemy is approaching at the front? How many people are there?
There are also Han cavalry in the rear? How many people are there?
In addition, from time to time, the Xianbei Erlang beside him was hit by arrows and crossbows flying out from the Han army's infantry formation. He howled miserably and fell off his horse. All kinds of sounds and information came one after another.
There was a buzzing in his ears.
After a moment of sluggishness and no timely feedback from the Chinese army's horn horn, the Xianbei cavalry in the front and rear were driven by instinct and began to carry out their own operations. Some ordered to rush forward, and some ordered to run to the side.
, suddenly like a noisy swarm of wasps.
The Xianbei cavalry, which were attacked from three directions at the same time, were crowded together. The original advantage in strength was not able to be used. Many Xianbei soldiers crowded together could neither see the enemy nor see the direction clearly. Instead, they were surrounded by their comrades.
There were endless screams, and various orders made me confused. Under this situation, my original courage and enthusiasm were wiped out bit by bit in the confusion.
There were Han cavalry charging forward from behind, but I was stuck in the queue, pushing each other. I had strength but couldn't use it, and I had opponents but couldn't reach them. When I was attacked by Ma Yan and Xu Huang, they were cutting them away like flesh.
When they came back after a large area and a circle, the Xianbei cavalry suddenly realized that they were no longer the dominant side. It seemed that there were Han troops in all directions to the west, but they could only tremble in the center, unable to do anything except
Waiting to die.
Those little torches gathered around, those strange yet familiar roars coming in the dark night, the Xianbei cavalry wanted to run but couldn't, they wanted to shoot bows and arrows, but their sight was blocked by the bodies of their comrades...
…
The original cavalry on Ma Yan's left wing has now penetrated the sluggish Xianbei edge and rushed to the right, while Xu Huang, who was originally on the right, rushed to the left. After crossing and changing positions, not only the ordinary Xianbei cavalry did not know where to go
During the battle with that unit, even the powerful people found themselves losing the basis and coordinates for judgment.
Chaos inevitably arose. Many Xianbei cavalry followed their tribal leaders and began to take care of themselves. At this time, the horn horns of Dadanghu had no effect at all. The Xianbei cavalry dispersed.
Come, some turned and continued to attack Ma Yan's troops, some fought with Xu Huang's troops, and some were pulled out from the large army and ran to the outside...
On one side is the extremely chaotic Xianbei army, and on the other side is the orderly and unified Han cavalry. Although the Xianbei still has the advantage in terms of numbers, the current Xianbei cavalry is like a clumsy giant, waving its hands in vain,
But he was never able to hit his opponent accurately.
The night before dawn is the darkest, and the moon seems to have disappeared because it cannot bear to look at the flesh and blood millstone, leaving only the remaining starlight.
As one after another Xianbei people were attacked from both sides, their chaotic behavior was unable to compete with the orderly ranks of the Han army. Many small-headed people from the tribe were also on the battlefield, completely unclear about the details.
In the situation, just listening to the noise coming from all around, I thought I was surrounded by the Han army. When I found that the Xianbei war situation took a turn for the worse, I finally got scared and collapsed. In order to save the population of my tribe from being attacked,
After suffering huge losses, they secretly began to wander towards the periphery and escape.
As the first Xianbei cavalry unit, led by the tribal leader, took advantage of the dark night to escape, more and more Xianbei people began to join the escape unknowingly...
The cavalry has this advantage. When a cavalry runs away wholeheartedly, without special terrain or an absolute advantage in strength, it is not easy to annihilate them all. The Xianbei people who have lost their fighting spirit are like
The bereaved wild dogs, with their tails between their legs, ran around in panic, some even ran into the infantry formations, but more of them escaped into the wilderness under the cover of the night.
Ma Yan and Xu Huang didn't pay attention to the scattered Xianbei cavalry who were fleeing. Instead, like a pair of sharp scissors, they kept cutting off pieces of flesh and blood on the still resisting Xianbei cavalry battle formation.
Xianbei's queue is completely finished,
The disorderly fighting on their own resulted in the joint strangulation of each of them by Ma Yan and Xu Huang. The arrows and crossbow bolts fired from the Han army's infantry formation behind them also continued to cause Xianbei to lose blood.
Dadanghu tried several times to regroup the soldiers and command the battle, but the single horn horn seemed so pale and powerless in this chaotic situation. Not many people could even hear it, let alone mobilize and command.
In anger, Dadanghu tried to stand up from his horse in an attempt to save the battle. However, only halfway through the movement, he felt a sharp pain in his head, his vision suddenly turned black, his body shook twice, and he fell headlong.
Got off the horse.
"Da Dang Hu!" The guards around him were shocked. They quickly dismounted and helped him up. When they found that he was still breathing, they lifted him onto the horse, guarded him, found a way, and left...
The Xianbei cavalry who lost their leader became even more panicked. As the last resisting Xianbei cavalry fell off his horse, the long night of blood and fire finally passed. The land of Pingding City, soaked in blood, slowly welcomed the long-awaited victory.
of peace.
The sound of fighting gradually stopped. When the light was about to come, the whole battle came to an end. The sound of horse hooves gradually became less urgent. The sharp sound of arrows flying through the air was no longer in the wind. Only the sound of one after another remained.
The sound of wounded soldiers groaning before dying.
"Ah... it's dawn..." Fei Qian looked to the east, "Finally, it's over..."
The early morning autumn wind blew by, taking away the smoke from the battlefield, and a new day arrived.
A streak of red in the sky turned bright yellow in the blink of an eye, and the color of the entire sky also changed from inky black to gray, and then quickly brightened to blue. A red sun seemed to be impatient.
, leaping up from the eastern mountains, shining on the Han soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield, and also on Fei Qian and others...
The remaining flames on the battlefield finally burned out, and puffs of black smoke followed the morning wind and drifted straight up, finally dissolving into the clear autumn sky...
The author is exhausted...
Don’t say anything, just take a shower and go to bed...
