The common people were crying and beating Teng Dun desperately, hoping that the barbarian army would let them in, but no one paid any attention to them.
Just as they were begging the barbarians, the cavalry behind them had already approached.
The cavalry had already put away their crossbows and took off their spears from the victory hooks of their horses. The spears poked out of the horses' heads like arrows.
Puff puff--
The spear first penetrated the bodies of the people in front of the barbarian camp, then directly penetrated Teng Dun, and then penetrated the barbarian army behind Teng Dun. Under the inertial impact of the war horses, the cavalry pierced with one spear, often piercing two or three people in a row.
body of.
Boom! Boom! Boom——
The war horses hit the shield wall one after another. Of course, the charging cavalry fell to the ground with both men and horses, but the barbarians on the opposite side had their shields shattered, and some of the barbarians were even knocked flying far away.
.
The cavalry's horses were so fast that after the spear in their hands penetrated the enemy's body, it was too late to pull it out. The people immediately discarded the spear, took out the saber from their ribs, and hacked down the surrounding barbarians.
It can be seen during the battle that this cavalry is well-trained, experienced, and well-equipped. In addition to crossbows and spears, their sabers are also unusual.
The sword they used was the Han sword, also known as the Huanshou sword. It was more than one meter long and had a straight blade. The Huanshou sword was also the originator of the Tang sword and the Japanese samurai sword.
The Han knives at that time were already made of fine steel, and the standard process was 'Sanyi', which required thirty times of tempering. In addition, the blade also adopted the most advanced 'quenching' process at the time.
With such a Han sword, chopping people is like chopping vegetables. The animal skins and even leather armor and rattan armor on the barbarian soldiers are no different from paper in front of the Han sword.
In the battle between the two sides, the cavalry charge did not break open a few holes in the barbarian phalanx, but instead completely crushed it like a bulldozer.
The shield formation set up by the barbarian army seemed to be strong, but in front of the elite cavalry, it was completely vulnerable and was crushed to pieces.
When the cavalry charged into the barbarian camp, it was as if they were entering an uninhabited country. They cut down and killed everyone they met. Countless barbarian soldiers were trampled to death by their horses alone.
There are many fierce generals in the Xie tribe, such as Sha Lineng, Luan Tidun, Shao Ge and others.
But even they could not withstand the huge crowds of cavalry. After defeating dozens of cavalry, Salinen's body was also filled with crossbow arrows. His burly body fell to the ground and was reduced to a pulp by the cavalry who rushed up later.
.
Luan Tidun, Shao Ge and others were also wounded and unable to fight the cavalry. They all retreated to Xie Tu. They shouted urgently: "General, what we encountered is the main cavalry of the Han people. They can no longer stop it."
, withdraw quickly!”
Xie Tu looked around and saw the opponent's cavalry rushing through his own camp, unstoppable. Some of the cavalry had already passed through the formation, then turned back from the rear of their own camp and continued to charge.
Our own camp had no formation to speak of, and was reduced to a pile of scattered sand by the cavalry. Panic-stricken soldiers could be seen everywhere, and there were corpses of our own tribesmen everywhere. There was still fighting everywhere, and it was a complete one-sided massacre.
Xie Tu slowly closed his eyes, tears falling down uncontrollably. He turned his back to the sky, suddenly pulled out the saber from under his ribs, and suddenly placed it on his neck.
Seeing this, everyone around them screamed in fright. They all stretched out their hands, grabbed Xie Tu tightly, and said urgently: "General, you can't commit suicide!"
"We, the Xie clan, cannot live without our clan leader!"
"If you die, general, who can help us avenge today's revenge?"
Xie Tu did not really want to die, he was just pretending. After Xie Sang died, he had not officially taken over the position of the clan leader. He suffered such a disastrous defeat. People will inevitably have doubts about his ability. His
Seeking death is actually an act of retreating in order to win over people's hearts.
He looked around at everyone present and lamented: "I led 20,000 tribesmen on the expedition, how can I escape alone now?"
"General, keep the green hills here, don't worry about not having firewood! We will avenge today's revenge tomorrow!" Shao Ge took Xie Tu's arm and said in a hurry: "Let's go quickly! If we don't go, it will be too late!"
Before he finished speaking, a group of cavalry rushed toward them.
Before anyone arrived, the crossbow arrows arrived first, and the guards around Xie Tu immediately formed a human wall around him. Puff puff, dozens of crossbow arrows flew over and turned several of the guards into hedgehogs on the spot.
Luan Titon yelled: "You protect the general and go first, I will stop him!" As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and led a dozen guards to charge towards the oncoming group of cavalry.
It was too late to say it, but it was so quick at that moment. In just the blink of an eye, the two sides were in contact with each other.
sand!
A spear stabbed fiercely at Luan Titon's chest. Luan Titon leaned to the side to dodge the thrusting spear. When the horses of both sides were intertwined, he swept out with his sword.
puff!
The blade split the armor under the cavalry's ribs, and a blood arrow spurted out. The cavalry screamed and fell off the horse. Luan Titon held two scimitars, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and the horse neighed and charged directly.
Join the ranks of the cavalry.
The war horses of both sides galloped in opposite directions, and spears from both sides stabbed at Luan Titon from time to time. Luan Titon was worthy of being a fierce general of the Xi tribe. He waved his swords away, flying up and down, not only deflecting all the spears that stabbed him, but also
The cavalry passing by him were often cut off by his scimitar.
Luan Tidun rushed forward tens of meters in one breath, killing more than 20 cavalrymen. Behind him, a row of corpses fell.
Just when Luan Titon was going on a killing spree, and his eyes were red with blood, two war horses passed by him on both sides at the same time. The cavalry on the horses each grabbed one end of the iron chain.
Luan Titon only paid attention to the enemy on the horse and did not notice the iron chain dragged sideways. The two front legs of the war horse were tripped up by the iron chain.
There was a roar in the ear, and Luan Titon's horse fell headfirst to the ground. Luan Titon, who was sitting on the horse, flew forward five or six meters before falling to the ground.
Luan Titon roared and jumped up from the ground. Looking at him again, he was covered in dust, like a native.
Whoosh whoosh!
The cavalry's crossbow arrows flew towards him. Luan Titon waved his swords to block the crossbow arrows. The sound of clanking and clanking of iron weapons was endless.
Luan Titon is a human being, not a god. Human beings are capable of running out of strength, while the crossbow arrows of the cavalry seem to be endless.
Not long after, Luan Titon's sword was only half a beat slower, and he was hit in the thigh and lower abdomen by the sword. Luan Titon roared and picked up the war horse that had fallen to the ground and could not stand up, and used the body of the war horse.
Block the crossbow arrows fired from the front.
While Luan Titon was struggling to support him, a cavalryman ran straight towards him, thrust out a spear and penetrated the horse's body, and the spearhead went straight into his left shoulder.
Luan Tidun grunted, threw away the horse corpse, grabbed the spear with both hands, and with a loud shout, he forced the cavalry off the horse.
Plop!
The cavalryman's body fell heavily to the ground. Luan Titon pulled out the spear from his shoulder and pierced the cavalryman's neck with the spear.
Before he could catch his breath, another cavalryman rushed towards him. He used his spear as a stick and swung his spear across Luan Titon's forehead.
Snapped!
Luan Tidun's huge body staggered back four or five steps before he managed to steady himself. For a moment, blood was pouring from his forehead, and there were stars in front of his eyes.
Puff, puff, puff! In just one moment, at least thirty crossbow arrows were nailed to his body.
Luan Titon's body was like a hedgehog, filled with arrows. He roared and staggered forward a few steps, but the second round of crossbow arrows arrived again. This wave of crossbow arrows left Luan Titon's body completely covered with arrows.
.
His knees weakened and he knelt on the ground. His body did not fall down until he died.
A cavalryman was holding a Han sword. When he ran past him on horseback, he cut off the body with one stroke. With a click, the head of the kneeling corpse fell off, and bright red blood spurted out high.
The cavalry that the barbarian army encountered was the main cavalry of the capital army led by Lian Dan himself, with a total of 10,000 cavalry.
Ten thousand cavalry versus ten thousand infantry. Not to mention that the barbarians are not very good at arranging troops. Even if they are good at formation, this battle will not have any suspense. It can only be a one-sided crushing.
The difference in combat power between the two sides is too great, and it can no longer be made up for by forming formations.
Although Lian Dan's character is not very good, he is indeed good at using soldiers.
Everyone thought that the main force of the capital army was fighting in the south of Yizhou. No one expected that Lian Dan, with 10,000 cavalry, returned to Hanzhong in the north of Yizhou without anyone noticing, killing the barbarian army by surprise.
In this hand-to-hand encounter in a narrow road, the more than 10,000 barbarian troops were unable to resist at all. They were almost completely wiped out by Lian Dan. In the end, only Xie Tu and more than a hundred confidants and guards escaped.
This battle also allowed Xie Tu and others to truly see the true combat effectiveness of the Han regular army. In the past, they had only fought with local armies and rebel armies. Compared with the capital army, it is not an exaggeration to describe those armies as a mob.
After the battle was over, we looked at the battlefield. Corpses were everywhere. Wherever you looked, most of them were corpses of barbarian soldiers. Of course, among them were the corpses of the people of Qianduolan Town.
The army under the command of Lian Dan was no less ferocious than the barbarian army.
As long as Lian Dan's army fights with the barbarians, no matter where they are, all the local people will suffer.
Lian Dan's men didn't care whether you were a barbarian or a Han. They would kill anyone they saw. After the killing, they would cut off the head and collect the reward.
Strictly speaking, here in Yizhou, the number of Han people who died at the hands of Lian Dan was not much less than the number of people who died at the hands of the barbarians.
This is his usual style. Now that the people of Lan Town are mixed with the barbarian army, can they still be merciful?
When clearing the battlefield, all the gold, silver and jewels snatched by the barbarian army naturally fell into Lian Dan's pocket. As for the corpses on the battlefield, their heads were cut off and loaded into carriages, and the remaining parts were thrown into the wilderness.
After a battle, there were more than twenty carriages just used to carry human heads.
Compared with the tens of thousands of enemies who were killed, Lian Dan's cavalry only lost a few hundred people. This battle can be said to be a complete victory. Lian Dan did not stay here longer. With a wave of his hand, the entire army continued towards Hanzhong City. Go ahead.
Lian Dan led his army into Hanzhong and wiped out the main force of the barbarian army. The news soon spread to Hanzhong City.
Liu Yan, Liu Xiu, Feng Yi and others, who had been prepared for a bloody battle with the barbarian army, were a little unable to react. They asked the spies who came back to report the news: "Are all the more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers dead?"
The spy nodded excitedly and said: "They are all dead! The heads of the barbarian army alone have been loaded into more than twenty vehicles. Now General Lian is leading the army towards Hanzhong City!"
Liu Yan swallowed his saliva and asked: "Lian Dan...how many troops did General Lian bring?"
"It looks like there are ten thousand riders!"
"How many casualties?"
"Well, there were almost no casualties."
"..." Liu Yan was silent and couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly.
Who would have thought that the barbarian army, which was invincible in Hanzhong County and had almost forced our own side into a desperate situation, would be so vulnerable to Lian Dan's troops.
