Two hundred and twelve chapters car formation to block the enemy
Cars rattled and horses rustled.
A long dragon-like procession filed out of the south gate of Huaiyuan, with a stream of carriages and horses marching forward, and even more escorts riding in front. Zhu Biao suddenly drove out the entire army!
Hulu Luomen was very puzzled. Is the Han army looking for death? Wouldn't it be a trap for him to leave the city? There are three standing troops missing, but there are still more than 20,000 Hu cavalry, and less than half of them are from the Maha tribe.
The tribesmen are red-eyed and want to take revenge on the Han army!
"Woooooooooo..." Amidst the continuous sound of horns, more than 20,000 Huqi moved in full force. Hulvluomen only sent a team of about a thousand people to occupy Huaiyuan County.
Under the morning sun, Zhu Biao looked back at the city with a stern face. This was the first county that he had personally lost, and he would soon lose the entire county. A county must have a better look on its face.
Strange!
However, Huaiyuan County really had to leave it. Li Huizu got what he wanted on the battlefield in Yuming, but he finally did not forget Zhu Biao, a silent hero. That night he sent a thousand-mile cavalry to Huaiyuan County to report back.
The messenger rushed to the place but could only stop. At that time, he could not enter Huaiyuan County, which was surrounded by the city. Fortunately, Zhu Biao quickly killed Mahama in the night, and Hu Jun was shaken and another 30,000 soldiers were killed.
The standing cavalry army moved south, and the messenger found an opening and rushed in.
From Li Huizu's tone, Zhu Biao could clearly feel his determination and confidence to push the front back to Beiling in one breath. Therefore, Li Huizu ordered Zhu Biao to withdraw from Huaiyuan and move to Xinchang as soon as possible. Although he was confident that he could push the front back to Beiling.
Pushed back to Beiling, but never grasped the slightest hope of defeating Beiling. When the situation reached that point, Kaihua and Yongkang's second Han army would once again be in line with Li Huizu's main force. In this way, plus the West
Along the Xinchang and Nanjia counties on the road, a concave new front will be fixed for a short time.
At that time, if Zhu Biao's troops were still trapped in Huaiyuan County by the Hu cavalry outside the city, then whether it was the Hu cavalry army returning for the second time to sweep up, or the fresh troops coming from the north and south to reinforce, they would be able to sweep away fallen leaves like the autumn wind.
The Han army in Huaiyuan County was uprooted!
The war has been going on for ten years, and the Hu people have put most of their strength into the battlefield. But this does not mean that as long as Shanyu Wangting does not make a move, Uweituo will not get enough to change the situation of the war.
reinforcements.
Over the years, the main force in bloody battles was King Zuo Xian in the Zhao Kingdom, and Uwetuo here in the Han Kingdom. Comparing the left and right Xian Kings, the left and right King Guli were all beating drums and gongs, and seemed to be busy.
But the casualties were much smaller. Although these two units were weaker than the left and right Xian Wang tribes, the rules on the battlefield were not the same.
Now, the war has reached a critical juncture, and there is no need for Shanyu Wangting in the depths of the prairie to take action. The left and right kings of Guli are also trying their best to bleed capital.
Zhu Biao was of course willing to run away immediately after receiving the order, but what to do with the infantry and what to do with the wounded? He had to consider these carefully.
In two days, they urgently reported the news of Uwetuo Mahahairi's assassination in Hululuomen, and then received a new appointment from Uwetuo with a very stern tone - to lead the Huaiyuan Hu cavalry to attack and destroy the Han army.
While the fast horses were running north and south, Zhu Biao was leading all the Han troops in the city to refit the vehicles with all their strength!
Yes, the vehicles captured from the Hulu were chartered vehicles, as well as the carts that were originally part of the army. When the three counties joined forces to defend Huaiyuan County, the three counties had food, armor, herbs, etc.
He brought all his material reserves into the county. Naturally, heavy and strong carts were used during this period.
So these created Zhu Biao's entire army leaving the city today! This created the basis he used to resist Hu Qi outside the city - the chariot formation!
Car array——
When Hululuomen led Hu cavalry several times larger than the Han army to surround Zhu Biao's troops who were less than ten miles away from the city, what was in front of him was a palace with thousands of carriages arranged in layers and always moving slowly.
A moving formation - a vehicle formation.
On the outermost carriage, iron ropes connected each other, leading to the top. The war horses were all blindfolded and their ears were plugged, and their bodies were covered with sheepskins. The horses were made of thick leather pads sewn together in several layers, and even the horse's legs were tightly wrapped.
It was tight. The outer carriage of the carriage had also been reinforced and thickened several times. Spears were inserted diagonally between the walls of the carriage. Han infantrymen holding crossbows, crossbows, swords and spears were waiting on the inside.
Two carriages are side by side, pulled by four horses, and ten rows of front and back iron ropes are connected to form a team. In this way, twenty carriages form the smallest unit in the carriage array - the team. There are cracks in front of the front and rear teams.
The cavalry led by Zhu Biao galloped nimbly in the gaps between these carriages.
Layer after layer, the car array makes a rough circle, and then there are small circles inside. Although it is not embedded together as a whole, it is like inverting the word "品", with the gaps in the first layer and the second layer
It must be made up. The gap on the second floor is filled up by the third floor. Until the innermost floor, which is the fourth floor, there is an iron wall and a complete circle.
All the wounded in the Han army were concentrated inside, on the Hu people's chartered carriages.
Zhu Biao considered that there were such gaps in the outer three layers so that when Hu Qi attacked, the convoy on the outer layer could drain Hu Qi's momentum to a certain extent. No one wants to be hit head-on to death, right? They couldn't do anything when they rushed in front of the carriage.
Holding back the horses' hooves, there were also companions sprinting behind them, so the barbarians at the front not only hit their heads on the slanting spears, but also swerved their horses' heads into the gap between the convoys. Of course, they could also face the difficulties.
Ershang jumped on the carriage directly, but if the Hu cavalry could have such good combat effectiveness, they would all be able to ride to Peiping early.
The first layer released Hu Qi's impact force, the second layer continued to release, and then the third layer. As Hu Qi 'vented' layer by layer, the impact force would also weaken layer by layer. If he burst into
After the third floor, they can still be alive and kicking. Then there will be a fourth floor of copper and iron walls to greet them. Most of Zhu Biao's cavalry are full-time infantry.
Although there are plenty of war horses, no matter how large the distance between the layers of the chariot array is, it is still not enough for hundreds or even thousands of his own cavalry to gallop back and forth. In the end, Zhu Biao left only 300 elites and five more.
Hundreds of people are always ready to take over in the fourth circle.
With the infantry and the wounded, cavalry warfare should be abandoned. Zhu Biao felt quite unhappy about this. After all, he was now a cavalry commander, and the most powerful cavalry in the Han army was also the cavalry.
Using the strong to support the weak, rather than using the weak to assist the strong, it can only be said that Zhu Biao's battle was a completely new experience.
"What is this?" Hululuomen was stunned. He had been on the battlefield in wind and rain for so many years, but he had never seen such a weird formation.
The Han army's infantry formation has always been a majestic and majestic force. How does this current formation look like the year before last when I led my troops to plagiarize the Han army's food road and encountered the Han army's food transport troops...
