The cavalry, which was twice the size of the enemy, was defeated so easily without any suspense. Is this... true? When did the Hu cavalry become so powerful???
However, the bloody corpses on the ground ruthlessly told General Pingzhou that this was true! The five or six thousand cavalry on his side were easily and completely defeated by the opponent's three thousand cavalry, just like a massacre.
"Ada!" Uwetuo was full of energy. After a long laugh, his eyes surged with murderous intent. His eyes fell on Ada fiercely and he said sternly, "I will give you five thousand warriors! Charge the formation, charge the formation, and trample the Han people for me.
Underfoot!"
Like a male lion competing for territory with its own kind, Uwetuo erupted like a volcano at this moment.
The Han army on the opposite side only had 24,000 to 5,000 infantry. Excluding the camp guards and heavy troops, there were only 15,000 people in front of the formation. The more than 5,000 cavalry they had been showing off before had been killed by them, and they were so frightened that they were terrified.
, there were only nearly a thousand cavalry left alive, and there was no threat at all. For the Han army with such strength, Uwetuo believed that his five thousand standing cavalry, led by the brave Ada, would be able to successfully break through the enemy camp and defeat all the enemies.
The Han army trampled under their feet.
As soon as Ada breaks the formation, he will immediately order his troops to follow up. In one battle, he can deal with the reinforcements of the Han army that have just crossed the Luoming River. Remove one of the arms stretched out by the Han army first to avoid another
A group of 50,000 Han troops came to join them. At that time, I had to deal with 80,000 Han troops, and it was a very hard battle.
"Without these 30,000 horses, there will only be 50,000 reinforcements left to reinforce the Han army. If we defeat them again, let's see how we can stop our own army from crossing the river and heading south!"
"Warriors of Changshengtian, kill me -"
A ferocious look flashed across Ada's eyes, and he immediately picked up the broadsword hanging under his saddle and rode out of the formation.
Ada raised his right arm high, and the shiny sword exuded a chilling brilliance against the setting sun. The five thousand standing horsemen looked up to the sky and howled like wolves, then rushed forward behind Ada.
.
In front of the Han army formation, looking at the Hu cavalry rushing towards them like a torrent of water, the general's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he said in a calm voice: "Beat the drums, organize the troops."
"Dong dong dong——"
The low drums were beating continuously. After the defeat just now, even the drummers in the army were demoralized. The drums, which should have been exciting and exciting, were now low and low.
Bald Hu looked across the chilling battlefield. He squinted for a moment and lightly clamped his legs. The war horse immediately snorted and took a step back. Putting the spear on the saddle, he raised his right arm and shouted loudly.
He said: "Retreat -" After saying this, he reined in the horse, and the horse turned its head obediently and drew a semicircle on the same spot.
Three thousand golden wolf cavalrymen instantly turned their horses and galloped back towards the formation.
Not far away, five thousand horsemen came rushing towards them, and the sound of hoofbeats filled the whole world.
The commander of the Pingzhou Army had a cold look on his face. The unsuspecting defeat of the cavalry made him understand that his battle today was a disaster. But suddenly, he still raised his right arm high, and then moved forward gently.
One wave——
"The archers attack——"
The messenger standing next to the Han general stood in awe and immediately waved the flag in his hand. Then he raised a triangular flag high——
A Han general leapt out of the horse, and then he saw one or two thousand archers quickly filling the gap that the Han army's front line had slipped out of, facing the roaring Hu cavalry. At the same time, nearly a thousand Han soldiers fled back to the formation with their livers and gallbladder broken.
Riding, a small group of people rode back again and bypassed the Han army's formation in two ways.
Although the combat training cannot be compared with the elites of the frontier troops who have survived hundreds of battles, some of the basic methods of the Han army to deal with Hu Qi are known and understood by every senior leader of the Han army.
The captain stared coldly at the surging five thousand horsemen in front of him. A cold and stern voice came out faintly: "Archers, prepare -"
"Whoosh whoosh-"
There was a neat clattering sound. It was the sound of the quiver falling to the ground. Then one by one, the Han army's archers bent down and pulled out more than a dozen sharp arrows from the quiver, and stuck them in a place within reach in front of them. Then they bent their bows and set them.
arrow--
At this time, the Hu cavalry who were rushing forward were just a stone's throw away from the Han army's formation!
"call--"
The three hundred Han cavalrymen who passed by in front of the formation were like rabbits that saw a tiger and ran away. However, before the Hu cavalry knew it, one after another, cold and shining iron caltrops had passed by the Han cavalry.
Sprinkle.
"Fire the arrow -" the captain shouted sharply. Today's wind was from the southeast, and Hu Qi did not ride the wind. And without riding the wind, Hu Qi's shot would never be farther than the archer's range.
"Instigating and instigating——"
Rows of sharp arrows shot up into the sky, intertwining into a dense rain of arrows like locusts flying through the sky, and then fell with a piercing scream towards the Hu Qi who was galloping towards them.
"Pfft——"
The vests worn by the standing horsemen were also unable to block the sharp arrows falling from high in the sky. Continuous screams and the neighing of the war horses resounded in front of the formation, and the horsemen fell to the ground one by one.
"Speed up and rush over——"
Ada shook the sword in his hand and easily knocked away seven or eight arrows. However, when he saw the soldiers around him falling to the ground one by one, the ferocious look on his face became even more ferocious, and he roared violently into the sky.
rise.
"Whoosh..." He could only get three arrows in the battle, and when his opponent also had the ability to ride and shoot, he could only get one arrow in the battle. Hu Qi's counterattack was quick and fierce.
"Rush over—"
Ada continued to raise his arms and roar. As he charged forward, he had attracted the attention of many Han infantry archers and even crossbowmen. However, with a big sword in his hand, it flew up and down, knocking one after another.
"Xilu——" The horse under its crotch suddenly groaned, and then lost its balance. The whole horse hunched forward and rolled towards the grass. Could it be that the war horse was hit by an arrow?
Ada felt his mount sinking suddenly, and immediately screamed in his heart. Then he felt an irresistible force that took him off the horse and threw him away.
In mid-air, his eyes noticed a faint flash of dim light on the ground, and he screamed something bad in his heart, and hurriedly brought down the big knife.
The head of the knife fell to the ground first, and with a "thud" the whole thing sank into the ground, and the guard was almost buried in the soil. Ada's body turned a wheel in the air. After landing, although his arms were sore and numb, when he looked up, he was still shaking.
I want to die!
On the furry grass, iron caltrops were scattered one after another, and there were so many that they were like the stars in the sky, which could not be counted. To the left and right, in front and behind, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and the vigorous and galloping horses suddenly fell down, and each of the brave warriors fell down.
Because of this, I don’t know whether I live or die——
"Xilulu——"
"Oh--"
The miserable neighing of the war horses and the cries of pain from the barbarians mingled together.
The five thousand charging Hu cavalry were completely in disarray. The Hu cavalry in front tried desperately to rein in their horses and retreat, while the Hu cavalry behind were still rushing forward, trying to get through the range of the arrow rain as quickly as possible. People and horses were crowded together, and they were all stunned.
Hu Qi was knocked off his horse by his own people——
"咻咻——"
However, the rain of arrows from the Han army's infantry archers did not stop because of the misfortune suffered by Hu Qi. The arrows, as dense as locusts, still fell down mercilessly, splashing blood.
"instigate--"
A cold light flashed, and the last sharp arrow fell from the sky and pierced the neck of a war horse. The horse raised its head and hissed sadly, galloped for dozens of steps, and fell to the ground.
At this point, there are no more people or horses standing on the entire battlefield. The bleak wind blows across the battlefield, rolling up bits of grass and sand, and the thick smell of blood is floating and scattered in the air——
Looking around, the battlefield was littered with corpses of men and horses. Five thousand Hu cavalry were killed by the Han army’s caltrop attack. The Hu cavalry army, which was full of morale just now, was like a bucket of ice water showering its head.
, the arrogance has cooled down a lot.
"Hey!" Ada punched his thigh hard and cursed viciously, "These cunning Han people are despicable and shameless! Your Majesty, Ada is willing to lead the troops into the battle again. I will cut them into pieces."
——”
Tu Hu looked at the sky that was gradually dimming, and quickly suggested to Uwetuo: "Your Majesty, it will be late today. If we fight again, we need to send troops as soon as possible."
Uwetuo's face was not serious, but depressed. He nodded and said in a low voice, "Blow the trumpet, organize the troops, and fight again immediately.
Hu Luluomen, you lead the troops to attack the left. Hu Keli, you lead the troops to attack the right. Ada, you still lead the troops to attack the front. Each unit has three thousand standing cavalry. Before they fall, take down the Han army on the opposite side for me——"
Since leading the troops to break into Hexi, Hu Qi has lost a little more than a thousand troops in total. Uweituo planned to win this battle with a loss of three to five hundred, but he didn't know that he would win first and then lose.
Even though he had gathered thousands of people, and because of such a dirty reason, Uweituo felt unbearably depressed inside.
…
…
Izumokou.
Zhu Biao finally felt a little relieved when he looked at the dark camp in front of him, which was like a small town. Although there was only six or seven days between the time when his troops left the north exit, the northern end of Izumo Pass was really a big change.
He finally chose to withdraw his troops. Of course, he did not withdraw his troops to Hedong all at once, but sent Zhu Zhong and Xia Yunzhuo's two battalions back. At the same time, the remaining troops retreated to the old Huqi camp in the north of Izumokou to camp.
"Sir, there is news from Peiping that the imperial court has sent Yun Zheng as general to lead fifty thousand imperial troops to rescue Hexi. There is also a troop of thirty thousand troops from Pingzhou to help Hexi at the same time."
Zhu Biao just arrived at the north camp of Izumokou, and Dou Bing, who stayed here, held up a secret letter newly delivered from the south.
"Yun Zheng? It's not bad!" Zhu Biao has not seen this guy who was tied for the top spot with him for a long time. But he knows some of the things Yun Zheng has done, such as the fact that he saved Yuan Zheng's life.
flood.
Yuan Hong, the son of the former Jinwu Yuan Buque!
Yuan Buque, who lost his life at the hands of Nangong Qi during the Beiping Incident, just like Li Xian, could no longer stand in the current environment of the court. However, Yun Zheng still had some courage and insisted on saving him. This way
Instead, I gave him a 'loyalty' hat.
After the Peking Incident, when the imperial court was chasing the rebels and at the beginning of the war with the Zhongshan Kingdom, Yun Zheng and Yuan Hongke fought side by side for a long time.
This man can be considered to be able to fight, at least he dares to fight and kill. With so many noble families in Peking, he is indeed a leader among the younger generation in martial arts.
