Seeing more than a hundred cavalry waiting on the road, although the Huns' troops were several times larger, they did not directly hit them. Instead, they started to slow down two or three miles away, and then stopped two or three miles away.
place.
Chen Cheng looked at the Huns opposite and had a strange feeling in his heart. You obviously have the advantage, why don't you come up? In the distance, the Huns' cavalry began to form a team and began searching on both sides. Especially those woods and hills.
The focus of Huns reconnaissance.
The Huns are not brainless. They were dazzled by the huge victory before and suffered a few small losses. After reacting, they will naturally show their due qualities. They are dawdling in the distance.
, the rangers on both wings climbed up to the high ground everywhere, moving in and out where there might be an ambush.
Seeing this situation, Chen Cheng was helpless. Just as he was about to withdraw his troops, he saw a large number of red dots suddenly appearing one mile to the left on the mini-map. He couldn't help but be surprised. When a large number of cavalry galloped, the sound was like thunder.
, how could an enemy come so close?
Because he did not have the "Reconnaissance" skill, he could only discover the enemy when he got very close. The situation suddenly changed. Chen Cheng couldn't figure out how the enemy appeared quietly on the left wing for a while, but he was not exploring the reason now.
At that time, the military situation was urgent, and he immediately called for the soldiers to retreat.
However, the Huns on the left wing had already turned out from the edge of the woods and began to charge. The distance of more than a mile only took a minute or two for the cavalry charging at full strength. Chen Cheng's cavalry had not yet increased their speed.
Then he was cut down by the Huns.
"Don't be obsessed with fighting, retreat immediately!"
Chen Cheng shouted: "Blow the horn and ask Zhao Yun's troops to come and respond!"
While shouting loudly, he quickly plucked the three-stone bow string, and the arrows shot out like water. The cavalry archers beside him also opened their bows and fired arrows. The arrows flew into the Huns' battle formation, but only killed them.
A dozen enemies. These side-attacking Huns have better armor and have a strong immunity to arrows. If they don't hit their vital points, they won't die even if they are hit by a few arrows.
The arrows could not stop the Huns' advance. These barbarians fired arrows and charged while roaring like wild beasts. After the dense arrows passed by, the Huns replaced their scimitars and spears and slammed into them.
In the army that has just increased its speed.
The spear was broken in the chest of the soldier. More than 400 Huns cavalry charged in one go. Together with those who had been shot by arrows, more than 40 soldiers here fell off their horses. Nearly half of the Huns penetrated the battle formation.
, the remaining half of the people were blocked by the horses and fell into a melee.
Side attack is very useful most of the time. It feels good when used on the enemy, but not so good when being side attacked. Chen Cheng put away his bow and arrow and urged his horse to run to the side. Gulu bumped into a Hun
The body of the war horse knocked the horse and the cavalry on its back away. He patted the neck of the mount and praised: "What a good horse!"
As he spoke, he aimed his spear at the incoming force and thrust it out.
The Huns' horses had already increased their speed. They had an advantage and could use the speed of their horses to cause huge damage. But speed was relative. A running Huns was stabbed by a spear. His body was shaken and he immediately left the horse.
back, and then fell to the ground.
These Huns are elites selected from various tribes. Not only are they superb in martial arts, but they are also well-equipped. Most of the soldiers wear armor and their upper bodies are covered with iron sheets. A few noble leaders wear uniforms even in the Han Dynasty.
Iron armor is very rare in the military.
Chen Cheng showed great courage and killed several people in a row, only to find that the feet of the horses of these Huns cavalry were wrapped with silk and cloth, so they could bully them very close. It was precisely because their horses had feet wrapped with things that they were so fast.
They were unable to reach the highest level and were unable to completely defeat Chen Cheng and his group of one hundred people.
While the melee was going on here, Zhao Yun had already led the two hundred men and rushed over from behind the mound. The Huns who were pretending to search the two wings in the distance also rushed over quickly. If they join the battlefield, victory will be in the balance.
It will lean even more towards the Huns.
In the final analysis, Chen Cheng and the others still had too little capital. If they could pull out a hundred thousand cavalry like they did during the time of Emperor Wu, the Huns would not be a problem at all. In fact, starting from the time of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the Huns would not
They are willing to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the Han army. They always rely on the mobility of the cavalry to form a strength advantage in local areas, and then use more to fight against fewer.
The Huns are indeed weak now, with only less than one-third of their strength in their heyday, but Chen Cheng and others are even worse. They are fighting the Huns with the strength of two counties, not the full strength of the two counties.
There are nearly 40,000 troops, but among them there are more than 10,000 civilians, more than 10,000 infantry, and only about 15,000 cavalry.
If the Huns do not make mistakes, it will not be easy to win with such a small number of troops.
Seeing the Huns behind him also rushing up, Chen Cheng knew that the situation was already critical. While he fought hard to kill the enemy, he shouted loudly: "Charge to the south, don't stop!"
Fortunately, they are all cavalry, and they can come and go like the wind. When they have the upper hand, the Huns can quickly withdraw from the battlefield, making it impossible for them to catch up. When they are at a disadvantage, they can also withdraw quickly.
The battlefield left the Huns hanging behind.
Chen Cheng stabbed the last Huns before turning over. He had just replaced his bow and arrows. But there was a cry from behind, "General, you want to abandon me?"
Looking back, I saw that some soldiers had been shot down and dismounted. Although they were covered in blood and looked very embarrassed, the iron armor on their bodies saved their lives. After landing, they gathered back to back and
The corpses of men and horses on the ground served as a barrier as they continued to fight the Huns.
These people are Chen Cheng's personal soldiers, and they are also the most elite warriors under his command. They used spears, bows and arrows, ring-headed knives and other weapons to kill many enemies in the melee. Surrounded by the remaining ten people
, full of corpses of Huns and war horses.
When Chen Cheng heard the shouting from behind, he immediately put away his bow and arrow, replaced it with a spear and a large shield, and prepared to charge in. Just as the horse turned its head, the wind roared beside him, and a horseman had already rushed back from the side. The knight on the horse had a spear.
He thrust out continuously and knocked several Huns off their horses. When he looked closely, he saw this man with a silver spear and a white horse, majestic. Who else could he be if he wasn't Zhao Yun?
"Haha, Zilong is really full of courage!"
Chen Cheng urged his horses and ran straight to the place where the Huns were most numerous. Behind him, his own cavalry also turned around and came back to kill them. The Huns did not want to confront them head-on, so they scattered to both sides, and then used their cavalry bows to shoot.
"Pa", an arrow hit Chen Cheng's helmet. The arrows sparked on the iron helmet, but failed to penetrate his head. Chen Cheng calmly shouted to the soldiers on the ground: "Hurry up!"
The soldiers also knew that the situation was urgent, so they rushed to the nearby war horses, and then galloped towards the south. In the north, the Huns' reinforcements had already come to kill them. They turned back just now and rescued more than ten soldiers, but they also failed.
More cavalry were brought in. However, the battle was not simply about counting heads. Seeing how brave the Liangzhou army was, the Huns who came from behind did not dare to move forward for a while, but only used bows and arrows to harass them from a distance.
Chen Cheng put away his spear and shield and switched to long-range attack mode. The "Sunset Bow" was powerful, but its rate of fire was too slow, so Chen Cheng did not use that unparalleled magic weapon, but replaced it with
The five-stone strong bow commonly seen in Shesheng Camp.
He moved his fingers continuously, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. The arrows shot backward at a speed of once every three seconds. The more than ten horses chasing at the front were hit by arrows in their chests, and they fell to the ground whiningly, with the arrows on their backs.
The cavalry fell. The war horses and cavalry fell to the ground, blocking the Huns behind. But more importantly, Chen Cheng's almost miraculous shooting skills scared the Huns.
If the two armies are in conflict, one or two sharpshooters will not be able to play a big role, but if it is a pursuit battle, then the super-powerful archer who can turn around and shoot arrows will be the incarnation of death.
But not all the Huns were frightened. Some warriors who were good at riding and shooting jumped out of the crowd and chased on horseback while shooting at Chen Cheng with bows and arrows. Among these warriors, there was even a vulture shooter.
Hands. The equipment of this condor shooter is luxurious. Not only does he wear armor, but he also has a pure gold earring hanging on his ear.
In the melee just now, he had been wandering around the periphery, using his superhuman shooting skills to kill three Liangzhou Army cavalry. At this time, he rushed out, raised his strong bow and shot forward. Chen Cheng had a bag of arrows.
After shooting, he was about to take out another bag of arrows when he saw a black spot rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
The strong wind blew against Chen Cheng's face, and the hairs on Chen Cheng's back stood up, and his head jerked back. The eagle shooter who was chasing behind him couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw the arrow nailed to Chen Cheng's head, but it was a little strange: he had obviously killed him.
How come the enemy is still riding his horse without falling off?
Just when he was wondering, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand to remove the arrow from his mouth, stretched his bow and shot it back. The bows and arrows used by the two men were similar in strength, but the arrow shot by Chen Cheng was much more powerful. The arrow passed from the neck of the war horse.
He shot it all the way through the neck, and then pierced the armor on the eagle's hand.
Fortunately, the piece of armor was well maintained and the iron pieces inlaid on it were well tempered, so it blocked the arrows. However, the war horse was killed by an arrow, knocking the eagle shooter to the ground. He was dazed.
The ground rolled a few times, and I was surprised to find that apart from the severe pain all over my body, nothing major happened.
The Hun cavalry behind them followed up, and they were about to step on them. The knight on the horse gently lifted the reins, and the horse crossed over. When he saw the Hun eagle shooter on the ground, his face showed the expression of surviving a disaster.
, Chen Cheng let out a "tsk" and thought to himself: This time I'll give you an advantage!
When the two sides were gradually widening the distance, another four hundred cavalrymen rushed over from the south. However, Xu Rong saw a battle taking place in the rear, so he rushed over with a well-organized cavalry.
At that moment, the two soldiers and horses joined together, and some more cavalrymen who were retreating joined in. A total of more than 600 cavalrymen rushed towards the Huns. Chen Cheng originally wanted to continue shooting arrows with his horse back, but when he saw this, he changed his spear.
With a large shield, they rushed towards the Huns together,
This time, both sides had equal strength. The entire Liangzhou army pressed forward, and their morale was like a rainbow. However, the Huns were hit repeatedly, and they became timid even before the battle. As expected, the Huns were dispersed. With screams.
, a large number of Huns fled in all directions. Only the elite Huns troops held on for a while, but soon suffered more than half of their casualties, and had to abandon their wounded and evacuate from the battlefield.
Seeing the enemy withdrawing, Chen Cheng did not dare to pursue him. Who knows if the Huns sent more troops to penetrate?
The soldiers hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, peeled off the enemy's armor, and gathered the scattered horses. The wounded enemies who encountered them were basically stabbed to death. At this time, they did not have the time or energy to go to a shelter.
As for the wounded, it would be best to kill them.
Then, they took the wounded in the engine room and ran ten miles south. The new camp was already in sight. Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu's cavalry had already withdrawn first. The eight thousand civilians and ten thousand infantry moved quickly and were busy.
After most of the day, the camp had already taken shape. Antlers and fences had been erected, and a watchtower was set up near the front and rear gates.
Seeing Chen Cheng returning with his troops, Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu went up to greet him.
"Chen Shijun, the Huns are difficult to deal with!" Cheng Yi's armor had several holes, which were traces left in the melee. He said with a solemn expression: "This time the Huns are really serious.
They actually sent all the elites here. Don't they need to be on guard against the Wuhuan people in the east?"
"This..." Chen Cheng coughed and said, "The Wuhuan people lost troops and generals in western Liaoning last year. It is estimated that they will not be able to breathe again in a year or two."
Cheng Yi was stunned at first, and then understood the whole story. He said helplessly: "It's all thanks to Jun Tai Neng. The Wuhuan people suffered heavy losses in the battle in western Liaoning. Only then can the Huns free up their hands to fight with us."
