Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth Xianbei war
"Gongren, I know what you are thinking. I know you a little bit. Anyone who can steal Taiyuan with clever tricks must not be some idiot."
Yuan Shu looked at Dong Zhao, wanting to see what he would say next.
"My lord, that's just Xiaozhi. I'm not good at marching and fighting, and I don't know anything about commanding on the battlefield. You'd better not embarrass me."
Dong Zhao thought for a moment and politely rejected Yuan Shu's proposal.
"Well, then, the whole army is ready. The infantry will advance in formation, and the cavalry wings will be ready to attack at any time."
Looking at the enemy who was waiting in full formation, Yuan Shu's lips curled up slightly. Since you want to fight, I'll give you something sweet to try.
"Lord, our cavalry is more than twice that of the enemy, why don't you just use cavalry to crush it?"
After hearing Yuan Shu's military order, Dong Zhao was a little confused.
"Haha, Kimihito, our infantry is targeting the cavalry in front of us. Although it is simple and rough for the cavalry to overwhelm them all, the casualties will be huge. Do you understand?"
Yuan Shu smiled at Dong Zhao. His purpose was to throw out infantry to make the enemy think it was a sweetener, but in the end he was just blocking the holes of the gun.
"Dong Zhao understands."
Dong Zhao nodded to Yuan Shu, indicating that he understood.
"My lord has given an order to ascend the army first. The Tiger Army will move forward in full force. Ju Yi will be under the command for the time being. Wen Chou, you go to the cavalry. The two wings of the cavalry will be suspended and ready to attack at any time."
Yuan Shu's military order was issued, and the Xianden Army and the Hu Lie Army formed a pure square formation and slowly protruded out of the formation and advanced towards the Xianbei people.
"Bamber, they took action, the infantry, the infantry actually came over."
When Balkan saw the infantry of Yuan Shu's army, he was like a hungry wolf seeing a plump lamb, with a fierce fighting look in his eyes.
"Then what are we waiting for? Since Yuan Shu has given us desserts for the eagles on the grassland to eat, there is no reason not to eat them, right? Balkan, how about you lead your own troops and Haqina to lead a charge?"
Bamber was also delighted. They all said that Yuan Shu was wise, talented, and capable in both civil and military affairs. He is not that good even if he looks at it now.
"Okay, let me go and give everyone an opening, brothers, follow me."
Balkan could no longer hold back his enthusiasm and rushed out without saying anything.
"I went too."
Ha Qina didn't give in. He said something and rushed out followed by Balkan.
Although there were not many cavalrymen from the two tribes, they each had more than 7,000 cavalrymen. More than 15,000 cavalrymen rode on the rumbling hooves and launched an attack on Yuan Shu's side.
"Crossbow preparation."
"put."
"Crossbow ready."
"put."
"Archer."
Ju Yi was considered to have been in battle for a long time. He was not afraid at all when facing the oncoming Xianbei cavalry and issued the command instructions one by one.
Xianbei's cavalry can be said to have suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. It is estimated that they have never experienced what is called a hail of bullets. The enemy's bows, arrows, and crossbows were thrown out as if they were free. They were killed several times after they broke out, leaving only a lot of people behind.
The corpses on the ground proved that they had indeed fought and sacrificed.
"Bamber, Balkan is still trying to get into trouble, but he can't get through."
Kenbad looked at the tragic battlefield with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Hu Yihan, lead your troops to support the Balkans."
Bamber set his sights on another clan leader.
"Why me? Why not Kenbad."
Who knew that Hu Yihan had a reluctant expression on his face.
"Kenbad needs to sit behind the scenes with me."
Bamber frowned and looked at Hu Yihan.
"Sit in the rear? I can do that too."
Hu Yihan didn't want to give in. After all, the Balkans were still too dangerous compared to here.
"Hu Yihan, you."
Banbor looked at Hu Yihan, a coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll go and do it. Now the most important thing is that we work together to fight Yuan Shu."
Kenbad nodded to Bamber, then spurred his horse and rushed out.
"Kenbad, why are you here?"
Seeing Kenbad coming, Balkan felt happy and guilty at the same time.
"What can I do here? The attack was thwarted, so I'm here to help you."
Kenbad smiled and spoke to Balkan.
"Well, then let's press forward with the whole army."
Now that Kenbad is here, Balkan has nothing to say and directly orders the entire army to press forward.
When reinforcements came from the Xianbei people, their previously sluggish morale suddenly rose again, and they all roared and continued to attack the defense line of the first ascending army.
Although the Xianbei people are brave enough, facing Yuan Shujun's strong bows and crossbows with their flesh and blood bodies is still a bit shocking. I don't know how many times they charged, but they still couldn't get in. There were more and more corpses on the ground, and the blood gathered into
There was a small stream flowing outside Wujin City.
"Lord, the time is almost here."
Although Dong Zhao didn't know how to march, fight, or command on the battlefield, he still had a thorough understanding of the battle situation.
"Well, Gao Lan, Wen Chou."
Yuan Shu nodded and turned to call his two generals.
"exist."
"exist,"
Gao Lan and Wen Chou half-knelt in front of Yuan Shu.
"The cavalry attacked from the left and right wings and captured these Xianbei people within an hour."
"Here."
Gao Lan and Wen Chou received Yuan Shu's military order, and without hesitation, they got on their horses, led the cavalry that had been prepared to attack left and right, and rushed towards the Xianbei people.
"Yuan Shu's army has launched a general offensive."
When Hu Yihan saw Yuan Shujun coming like an overwhelming force, his eyes were full of panic.
"The whole army listens to the order and rush for me."
Since the enemy had already launched a charge, what else could he think of? Bamber waved his hand and directly rode on his horse to charge.
"Clan leader, shall we rush?"
Hu Yihan's cronies came to his side with doubts on their faces.
"Rush, but hang behind them. Listen to my orders and be ready to retreat at any time."
Hu Yihan glanced at the battlefield ahead, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"promise."
The whole Xianbei army pressed forward together. Facing Yuan Shu's absolutely superior cavalry, they were considered warriors.
The battle became extremely fierce from the beginning. Although the Xianbei people were far inferior to Yuan Shu in terms of soldiers and horses, they were brave and adept at fighting and fearless of death. If they were facing miscellaneous cavalry, they might actually be overwhelmed by the rising Xianbei cavalry.
But this time the Xianbei people faced Yuan Shu's army, which was more desperate than them. Not to mention the Weilu army, they had been fighting on the front line since the grassland, and they had experienced hundreds of battles without fear.
The same goes for the Xianbei Army. The people on the opposite side are now their mortal enemies. If they are not killed, the only one who will be killed is themselves, so they must be killed with all their strength.
As for the mercenaries, it's even better to say that they are here just for the enemy's heads. The captures in the previous battles were not enough. If we don't work hard now, this wave will be just a tour and not a battle.
The Xianbei people were desperate for their lives, and Yuan Shu's army was even more fierce and fearless. They directly suppressed the Xianbei people until they could not lift their heads. Instead of being able to overwhelm them, they were beaten back and forth.
