All the generals present had red eyes, knelt down, kowtowed, and began to cry.
For a time, there was a lot of crying in the Chinese army tent.
Of course, it is unknown which of these people is really mourning for Xiesang, but even Xietu, Xiesang's biological son, is just putting on a show, so one can only imagine the psychology of the others.
No matter how happy you are about Xiesang's death and how happy you are in your heart, you still have to do enough drama.
Xie Tu knelt down and cried loudly, crying and losing his breath. The surrounding generals hurriedly stepped forward, wiping their chests and patting their backs.
Amidst the endless cries of the people, Xie Tu finally woke up. He looked around at the people around him and said in a hoarse voice with a cry: "The Han people are unfaithful and the patriarch was killed. If I didn't destroy Hanzhong City, how could I?"
Is it worthy of the patriarch’s spirit in heaven?”
His words cheered up everyone present. People hurriedly wiped the tears on their faces and said in a hurry: "Xie Tu, give the order!"
"The old clan leader was killed. Now you are the new clan leader of our Xie clan. This time we will sacrifice the heads of all the Han people in Hanzhong City to heaven!"
"Yes! Use the blood of all Han people to sacrifice to heaven!"
With the support of people on both sides, Xie Tu slowly stood up. He closed his eyes, calmed for a moment, raised his eyelids little by little, and said fiercely: "Send the order, and the whole army will set off to march towards Hanzhong City!"
It was his order that people were waiting for. As he gave the order, the barbarian generals in the camp all agreed and walked out quickly.
In an instant, the barbarian camp was like a pot exploding, horns were blaring, and barbarian soldiers were busy closing up their tents everywhere.
After hearing the news that Xiesang had been killed, the barbarian army of more than 10,000 people was filled with indignation and began to march towards Hanzhong City with the intention of bloodbath Hanzhong City.
The soldiers and civilians in Hanzhong City didn't know yet that a huge catastrophe was approaching them.
But what is unexpected is that this catastrophe had just been brewing and suddenly died halfway.
The barbarian army headed by Xie Tu rushed towards Hanzhong City in a mighty manner. As the team was walking forward, people suddenly heard the muffled thunder from the distance.
The soldiers of the barbarian army looked up at the sky in unison, thinking that it was going to rain, but the sky was clear and there were no dark clouds at all. It didn't look like it was going to rain in this weather.
Xie Tu naturally heard the muffled thunder. He frowned and ordered the entire army to stop advancing.
He stepped out of the carriage, first raised his eyes to the sky, and then listened carefully with his ears.
After a while, he shuddered and said urgently: "No! There is a large group of cavalry approaching us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a barbarian soldier hurriedly ran over from the rear of the team. When he got close to Xie Tu, he said urgently: "General, something bad is going on. There are enemy troops behind our army!"
The expressions of Xie Tu and the surrounding barbarian generals also changed. The former hurriedly asked: "How many enemies are there?"
The barbarian soldier said: "The distance is too far, so I can't see clearly, but from the sound, there are quite a few enemy troops!"
Xie Tu pondered for a moment, then shouted loudly: "The rear team becomes the front team, and the whole army faces the battle!" As he spoke, he jumped on a war horse, led a group of barbarian generals around him, and hurried to the rear of the team.
Under Xie Tu's order, the barbarian army made a big turn, and the rear team became the front team.
Xie Tu led his men and walked out from the ranks of the barbarians. They raised their eyes and looked forward. Indeed, the enemy was too far away from them and they could not see how many soldiers and horses the opponent had. But what was terrifying was that there were huge waves rising on the horizon in front of them.
The long side of dust looks like a large sandstorm blowing towards you from a distance.
After staring for a moment, Xie Tu frowned, rolled his eyes, turned his head and shouted: "Bring me all those Han prisoners and let them stand in front of our army's formation!"
The barbarian army captured more than a thousand local people in Lan Town. They did not kill these people directly. Instead, they planned to use these Han people as their own human shields to resist the defenders on the city when they attacked Hanzhong City.
arrow shot.
As a result, an enemy situation suddenly appeared in the rear. Xie Tu did not dare to take it lightly and decided to use the Han people captured by his side first.
Not long after, more than a thousand Han people were pushed out of the ranks by the barbarian army and made to stand at the front of their own formation, lined up to form a wall of flesh.
More than a thousand civilians, both men and women, old and young, stood in front of the barbarian army array. Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling.
Xie Tu looked around, raised the corner of his mouth, snorted coldly, and said: "If the newcomers are really enemy troops, they will have to step over the corpses of these Han people before fighting with our army!"
His move is quite poisonous. He uses innocent people as human shields, which will cause a huge blow to the opponent's morale.
At this time, the sandstorm in the distance was getting closer and closer, the rumbling thunder became louder and louder, and people even felt that the ground under their feet was shaking.
Whether it was Xie Tu or other barbarian generals, the war horses under their crotches began to become restless, either neighing in waves, or constantly digging the ground with their hooves, and some horses were spinning in circles.
Looking at the overwhelming 'sandstorm' coming from the ground, Xie Tu swallowed his saliva, turned his horse's head, and retreated to his own formation. The other barbarian generals did not dare to continue standing in front of the formation, and followed Xie Tu one after another.
Return to the main formation.
As the 'sandstorms' continued to follow, the murderous aura and sense of oppression that came towards them made the hairs on people's bodies stand up. Even the soldiers of the barbarian army who had been on the battlefield for a long time and were brave and good at fighting felt their hearts go up.
Everyone was swallowing saliva involuntarily, wiping the cold sweat from their palms.
Xie Tu shouted loudly: "Archer, prepare to shoot!"
Following his words, the archers in the barbarian army walked out of the queue one after another and stood in a long row in front of the formation. People bent their bows and nocked arrows, aiming their arrows forward.
The sandstorm was even closer, less than two hundred steps away from them.
At this time, everyone could clearly see that it was not a sandstorm at all, but a large group of cavalry. As for the total number of cavalry in this group, it was completely unclear. It was overwhelming and boundless. The sandstorm was exactly where the cavalry was.
The dust kicked up when running at full speed.
If you look closely at this cavalry, you will see that they are all wearing steel helmets and armor. The armor is painted with black paint, and the top of the helmet is fluttering with red tassels.
The common people standing in front of the barbarian army recognized it immediately. Some people shouted loudly and overjoyed: "It's the Capital Army! The Capital Army is here to save us!"
Many people saw that the people coming were the capital troops, and ran forward regardless. Unfortunately, before they could run a few steps, they were shot to the ground mercilessly by the barbarian archers behind them.
To be honest, Xie Tu has never seen so many cavalry before, let alone fought against so many cavalry. It is impossible to say that he is not afraid.
But now it is definitely too late to retreat. The two legs of our own soldiers cannot outrun the four hooves of the war horse.
Xie Tu took a deep breath and saw that the cavalry on the opposite side was less than a hundred steps away from them. Xie Tu slowly raised his hand, paused in the air for a moment, suddenly waved forward, and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow -
—”
At his command, the barbarian archers fired their arrows together.
Buzz——
A large array of arrows soared into the sky among the barbarian army array.
I saw black arrows hanging in the roaring wind, flying into the air, drawing wonderful arcs in the air, and then plummeting downwards.
Arrows were shot into the cavalry team one after another. Some arrows were missed and nailed to the ground. Some arrows hit the armor of the cavalry and made a clanging sound. Some arrows hit the cavalry's horses and horses.
The soldiers rolled forward, and the soldiers on the horses were also thrown far away. The fallen soldiers had no time to get up from the ground, and were trampled by the horse team rushing up from behind, trampling them alive into a pulp.
The barbarian army's arrow formation was not unsharp, but it had limited effect on the charging cavalry.
First, there are so many cavalry that it is so overwhelming that you can’t see the edge at a glance. Second, the cavalry’s armor is so sophisticated that if the arrows don’t happen to hit the gaps between the armor plates, they will not be able to penetrate the cavalry.
The armor on the body.
The barbarian army's arrow formations shot into the cavalry team one after another, and from time to time some of the charging cavalry fell to the ground, including men and horses, but such powerful attacks could not stop the cavalry charge at all.
Soon, the distance between the two sides was only fifty steps away. At this time, the cavalrymen took off the crossbow arrows carried on their backs, pulled the crossbows, and placed the crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Capital Army was only a few dozen steps away from them, the people completely ignored the barbarian army behind them. People ran towards the cavalry in front of them like crazy, shouting loudly as they ran: "Army"
Master, we are the people of Lan Town, we are all the people of Lan Town..."
The people of Lan Town thought they saw a savior, but they were wrong. What greeted them was not the rescue of their own country's army, but a bloody massacre.
The cavalrymen pulled the triggers of their crossbows one after another, and heard the sound of pop, pop, pop, pop, the sound of the crossbows firing arrows.
Pity the people of Lan Town. Their faces were still full of surprise and excitement for the aftermath of the disaster, but their bodies were turned into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows coming towards them.
Seeing the people in front being shot and killed by the cavalry one after another, the people behind shouted repeatedly: "We are not barbarians, we are the people of Lan Town, we are all the people of Lan Town..."
No one listened to them. The cavalry's crossbows flew forward row after row. Of the more than a thousand civilians who actually died in the hands of the barbarians, I'm afraid not even a hundred of them died. The rest were basically
He died under the crossbows of the cavalry.
If you look closely at the corpses on the ground, you can see that they were shot by more than a dozen or even dozens of arrows, just like hedgehogs. Their condition is too horrible to look at.
Even the barbarians were deeply shocked by this cavalry killing without distinction between friend and foe. Although they were brutal, they did not kill their own people, and the cavalry in front of them was like a demon running out of hell.
, to devour all living creatures in the world.
Seeing the cavalry approaching at great speed, the barbarian archers in front gasped for air and involuntarily retreated.
The barbarians at the rear quickly stepped forward and formed a large shield wall with shields at the front of the camp, hoping to block the oncoming cavalry.
Innocent!
Under the lance, all living beings are equal!
The barbarian army thought that a shield wall made of Teng shields could stop the cavalry charge. They were so naive!
If the ancient archers are like the special forces of the modern army, then the ancient cavalry is like the armored corps of the modern army.
On a plain battlefield, in a head-on confrontation, cavalry can completely crush infantry.
Those common people who were not shot to death by the cavalry's crossbows dared to continue running forward, and turned around and ran towards the barbarian camp. But they could not run in, and the barbarian army's shield completely blocked them from the camp.
