Five hundred and seventieth chapters eight hundred heroes
"Come out? Flee to the southeast? Okay!" Ana Qiongqi, Du Lun instantly became as excited as chicken blood, jumped up and shouted: "Raise the troops, raise the troops immediately, help me intercept the Han thieves"
The war horses neighed and the iron hooves stampeded. The 30,000 barbarians who had been preparing for the battle all night rode their horses and whipped their whips!
Baishan Pass. The sound of a dysprosium arrow soaring into the sky was replaced by a swarm of sharp arrows covering the snow hills. The arrows stabbed down messily and penetrated a strong corpse. A large amount of blood dyed the white snow red.
And in a snowdrift more than twenty feet away from the snow hill, Turben, who was holding his breath and buried in the snow, was motionless, with only one eye left with blood-red tears.
The sledge team quickly headed southeast along the Baishan Mountains. Zhu Biao was not a fool to throw himself into a trap. If the team could avoid Hu Qi's pursuit, he would definitely try his best to avoid it.
However, the Baishan Mountains run southeast to northwest, with the deeper grassland to the northwest and the Yinshan Mountains to the southeast. There are still 14,000 troops at Izumokou. What Zhu Biao needs to do most now is of course to lead his troops to join the main army.
Taking Baishan Mountain as a base, the Huqi army was still some distance away from Baishan Pass, and the sledge team still had an advantage in terms of distance.
Moreover, it was still dark, so neither side could go much faster. As long as these two hundred sledges did not cause any accidents while driving, the large army of Hu cavalry behind them would not be able to catch up with them in a short time.
It was almost three-quarters of an hour after entering Mao hour, and the sky was completely bright. There was no shadow of the sun in the eastern sky, but the snowflakes were already more precious than the stalactites in the Qishazong cave on the small island, and no one had fallen down for a long time.
The wind was also much lighter, only level 3 or 2. Compared with the past few days when the sky was full of snow and howling, it was much softer.
"Swish..."
A sledge flew across the snow, splashing countless snowflakes on both sides. Before the splashed snowflakes could completely fall, another speeding sledge ran over the floating ones.
Hu Qi's pursuit was getting closer and closer, and Zhu Biao could already hear the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. It was as loud as thunder. "It's almost time to fight..."
Of course he wanted to delay the time even longer. If possible, it would be best to delay the engagement until an hour before dark. But it was only noon now, and there were at least two hours before dark.
The Hu Qi behind him have already begun to separate and outflank him. How long will it take for him to be surrounded? Although Zhu Biao cannot say the exact time, he also knows that it will definitely be before the end of noon. Two quarters of an hour is enough for those who are running desperately.
War horses blocked the path of the sledge.
"We found Hu Qi ahead, about three to five thousand people, five miles away from here!"
"Hu cavalry was found due to the south. About two thousand cavalry are approaching!"
"The Hu Cavalry from the northwest are approaching three miles behind. There are about 20,000 cavalry behind them, but they have not made any further movements!"
…
…
Zhu Biao smiled slightly. After having the "experience" of being surrounded last time, he compared the Golden Wolf Cavalry horses with the ordinary Hu Cavalry horses. He found that he knew the time very accurately.
With a raised hand, one or two hundred sledges slowly slowed down. Relying on the Baishan Mountain, a cube was once again placed on a raised plateau.
All the remaining caltrops were scattered on the surrounding snow as if they were free of money. Zhu Biao looked calm and steady, without a trace of fear: Zuo, Qu, A and B were both on alert. The other soldiers rested.
The soldiers and horses were lined up, and Zhu Biao was waiting for Hu Qi to come to the door. The charcoal fire in the brazier was pushed away one by one, and the water jars were hung on the brazier. He also acted as the driver of the fire-headed army. He started to move.
, starting what may be the last lunch in their lives.
Under the orders of the officers of each department, the soldiers began to put on their armor and prepare for the battle. Some even took out dry food and ate it. They did not talk casually or whisper to each other. Everything was so orderly, so neat and serious.
The so-called general's courage is actually not the same as the general's courage.
If he were an ordinary soldier, no matter how high-spirited Zhu Biao was, if 600 people were surrounded by 30,000 Hu cavalry who were fifty times his size, he would not have the slightest intention of victory or any sense of luck. Only now
The soldiers on his right, these powerful soldiers, allowed him to face an enemy fifty times his own without any uneasiness or panic.
No matter how anxious I was, it would suddenly disappear when I saw these soldiers.
Yes, we are surrounded, surrounded by Hu Qi who have the upper hand, but so what? If you want to destroy us, you still have to show your sword and come over to fight!
Tuesday, the eleventh year of the great lunar month, the third day of January.
The most difficult battle since Zhu Biao sent out troops began, and the most disparate battle since he joined the army began.
The main force of the desperate Hu Qi rear army finally caught up with Zhu Biao's small force of 800 people after half a day's pursuit. The Hu Qi troops participating in the battle had as many as 30,000 troops, while the Han army only had 600
, and two hundred coachmen.
Ana Qiongqi and Du Lun were staring at the Han army not far away, and they wanted to tear all the enemies on the opposite side into pieces.
"The Han Dynasty soldiers were driven back by us..."
"The Han brigade has stopped for a while and has not made any other moves..."
"There are fireworks in the camp, and the Han people are eating..."
…
…
When a bowl of broth was brought to Zhu Biao, three groups of Hu cavalry not far away gathered together. The cavalry of the brigade came to a mile outside the square. From the southeast to the northwest, the Hu cavalry forces formed a tight line.
Real semi-arc enclosing circle.
This is actually equivalent to blocking all the marching routes of the Han army.
Hu Qi even stopped playing the old trick of encircling three men and missing one. As for the Han army, didn't everyone also have the heart to fight to the death?
It would have been better for Hu Qi to seal off all directions. At the critical moment, the nerves of those coachmen were crushed, they were greedy for life and feared death, and they messed up their positions.
Now there is no way out, the foundation has been dug directly.
Anaqiongqi felt a little relieved when he saw the Han army forming a square formation of vehicles. The formation was very strict, and they were aligned horizontally and vertically as if they were one body. He was worthy of being a real elite, a real brave man, and he was trapped in a certain death situation.
The ground is also full of fighting spirit and the army is in good order. There is rarely such a strong army in the historical records!
It’s just that there is only a row of sledges at the forefront of the phalanx. Isn’t it too thin? This is a raised level, not a narrow Baishan Pass. The Dahu warriors charging with war horses and those without horses are two different concepts. Just
How could such a weak defense of the vehicle array withstand the impact of the Hu warriors?
But even if you break through the car formation, your losses will be considerable, right?
Blood spread in Anaqiongqi's heart, and the trace of intolerance that had just developed was quickly thrown out of the sky. The Han army in front of him was doing many evil things and was powerful. As long as they could be eliminated, it would be worth paying no matter how high the price was.
Ana Qiongqi summoned a commander of ten thousand cavalry beside him, "Qiangqu, I will give you three thousand-man troops to tear apart the phalanx of the Han dogs. Let the warriors in the lead pay attention to the iron caltrops on the snow, and don't
I'm afraid that the horses will be injured, so I'll use them directly to minimize casualties. Charge in and leave no one behind!"
Nodding heavily, Qiang Qu knew how powerful the small group of Han soldiers in front of him was. He licked his lips, ordered his three thousand cavalry troops, ordered everyone to do this, and then slowly galloped out of the Hu cavalry.
This formation.
As a standing army commander of ten thousand cavalry, Qiangqu had fought many battles. He also had the experience of fighting the Han army at Baishan Pass. Knowing the methods of the Han army on the opposite side, he gave full instructions to his men before sending troops.
"Hey, the slut on the other side has a long memory? He doesn't run or rush anymore, and he still uses his horse as a human shield?"
Han Meng said it was funny, but in reality his brows were furrowed. Hu Qi launched an attack from three sides. The attacking troops seemed to have a thousand cavalry on each side, and they were also divided into two groups: front and rear.
There were three to four hundred people in the front, and the horses moved forward at a brisk pace, and all the figures were gone. They were either huddled on the sides of the horses, or hiding under the horses' bellies, obviously guarding against the Han army's arrows. And there were six or seven hundred cavalry in the rear.
, the speed is even slower, and the horse seems to be taking a walk.
They are waiting for the former army to use their flesh and blood to open up a path for themselves, and are slowly building up their power.
"shoot arrows"
When Hu Qi's front army entered the 200th step, Zhu Biao still ordered the crossbowmen. They were fully prepared when they set off. After several days of fierce fighting, although a lot of crossbows and bowstrings were consumed, the Han army still has enough.
, together with the driver, each holding a bow or a crossbow! Some of the warriors who used the slaves were even separated by two.
Originally there were only one hundred strong crossbowmen, but now there are two hundred, including twenty-one veterans equipped with double crossbows.
"Whoosh!" A black arrow shot out from the Han army's formation.
The powerful crossbow has a shooting range of 250 steps and is powerfully lethal within 150 steps. In war conditions, it shoots between 150 and 200 steps. But if you want the arrow to penetrate the armor,
For an enemy in iron armor, it is best to move at 150 paces.
But Zhu Biao doesn't need to worry about this. The crossbowmen with the attribute of increasing lethality and armor-piercing combat skills will definitely be bloody if they bite them. Among the ten arrows that hit, at least five arrows will kill people, and three arrows will kill people.
Seriously injured, only those with good luck will encounter the remaining two arrows shot in the arms and legs.
But if you say it's a minor injury, it's not that serious if it pierces the arm or leg. It's just compared to the arrow in the chest and back.
Qiangqu suddenly saw a black arrow shooting out from the opponent's formation. He only had time to shout "Be careful...", and the crossbow arrows swept across like a volley of guns and crashed head-on into the group of cavalry in front of them.
Why are crossbowmen said to be more powerful than archers? Not only because crossbowmen are more lethal, but also because they have higher accuracy when shooting straight.
Although Qiangqu had experienced the battle at Baishan Pass, the situation of the front army behind this round of crossbow bolts also surprised him. The three or four hundred Hu cavalry in front seemed to have been pushed flatly, and the first two columns
They all fell down, and the casualties were very heavy. Under a chaotic and shrill roar of men and horses, just the first wave of powerful crossbows, the horsemen on three sides lost nearly a hundred horses.
A row of thirty cavalry is nearly one-tenth of the army's strength.
