The huge battle in Huaibei is now tied to this one battle, with only a few thousand people involved. If the Han army retreats, Huaixi will not be able to continue. The offensive momentum of the Huaibei battle will be significantly affected. If the Zhou people retreat, it will be even worse.
Needless to say, the entire battle in Huaibei was a complete loss.
The horizontal knife in his hand has been swung countless times, and Du Meng has been standing at the forefront. It is no longer clear whether the blood on his body is his or the enemy's. Anyway, some of it has condensed into black and purple blood clots, while some is still there.
It flowed, falling drop by drop on the ground, and puddles made of blood had formed in the low-lying areas on the ground.
The general is by his side, and the Han soldiers, like the Zhou people, will never retreat.
Even if they are just Jiangnan rural soldiers, they are in the establishment of the Han army and are flying the red flag of the Han army. Therefore, after feeling their responsibilities at this moment, these young soldiers are also fighting hard and may commit suicide alone.
It is very difficult for them to kill an enemy, but if two or three people go together, it is no longer difficult.
On a battle line that was not long, the Northern Zhou cavalry tried their best to open a small gap every time, but soon the Han soldiers filled it, with spears in the lead, bows and crossbows behind, and even muskets on the flanks from time to time.
With cover and support, the Zhou people's attack would eventually be repelled by the increasingly skillful cooperation of the Han army.
"Kill!" The sword and shield bearers waved their swords and slashed at the war horses.
Many people directly raised their shields and let the horses' hooves trample on the shields. However, before flying backwards, the sword in their hands must have cut open the neck or belly of the war horse. Many war horses ran forward two steps, their stomachs
All the internal organs inside were flowing out, and the ground was covered with purple stuff and blood. The war horses often couldn't hold on and fell directly, and even the Northern Zhou cavalry were crushed under the horse corpses.
There are also soldiers who simply throw away their shields and hold the horizontal sword with both hands, which will give them more strength. The horizontal sword swings forward violently. When the force is strong, it can directly break the horse bones. For the iron smelting workshop of the Han Dynasty,
The Han soldiers had enough confidence in the produced Hengdao!
Of course, the cost was heavy. Many soldiers were directly stabbed in the chest, and some had their heads blown away by sabers. However, even at the last moment, the Han soldiers were still angry!
It may be unfair to let them go to the battlefield, but they will never regret waving the sword in their hands to fight the enemy in blood!
The patriotic education in the military camp has been implemented for so many years, which has given the Han soldiers enough courage and perseverance to stabilize their steps after a brief panic, in order to protect the red flag around them and the hometown behind them.
And fight hard.
The long stream, the vast wilderness, the wind-swaying brassicas (rapeseed flowers) and rice, as well as the small boat floating on the water and the singing girl on the boat
With white walls and black tiles, under an oil-paper umbrella, what a beautiful scene in the misty rainy south of the Yangtze River.
After crossing the Huai River, there is only the big river ahead.
As the children of Jiangnan, they will never allow the enemy to drink from the great river!
The charging Northern Zhou soldiers gradually retreated. They had left too many corpses in front of the defense line. For this cavalry team with only two thousand people, the casualties of two to three hundred people were already very heartbreaking, even if they
The opponent paid nearly twice the price.
The gap in combat experience destined the Han soldiers to use their lives to block any gaps and defend this line of defense!
The cavalry charged again, and this time the people behind them shot arrows to suppress the Han army, while the people in front held a lasso in their hands and began to swing it desperately.
Du Meng's eyes suddenly widened.
not good!
The nooses hooked the cart one by one, and then the cavalry turned their horses' heads and ran wildly outside at the same time. The cart was pulled out of the original line little by little, and the Northern Zhou army, which had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time,
, swarming in through the gap like wolves and tigers.
The Han soldiers, who originally could only rely on large vehicles to fight back and forth with the enemy, suddenly lost the barrier in front of them, and everything was in chaos.
The Northern Zhou cavalry pierced directly into the Han army formation like sharp swords.
"Cover with crossbows, retreat!" Du Meng could only give this order.
The arrows shot from behind were sparse, and the crossbowmen were almost at the front, and due to the melee, the people had already scattered, so Du Meng's order was followed by many people.
Not to mention that they had not received it, and even if they had received it, many crossbowmen were retreating hastily at this time. Where could they turn around and fire another arrow at the enemy?
"Bang bang!" The muskets rang out, but a few muskets were far apart and had no effect at all.
Just now, a large vehicle was pulled out of the car formation, and the gap could be filled again under Du Meng's leadership. But now four or five large vehicles were pulled out at the same time, which meant that four or five large vehicles appeared.
The gap could not stop the Northern Zhou cavalry that was already charging forward.
A famous cavalryman was obviously aggrieved by the previous battle. He just rode his horse forward fiercely. Wherever the horse went, even if the Han soldiers reluctantly tried to fight, they could only die in battle.
, after all, the galloping horses coupled with the sharp sabers were the surefire skills that the Zhou cavalry relied on to dominate the world.
"Retreat, retreat!" Du Meng's throat was filled with smoke.
Chaos, complete chaos all around.
The Han soldiers retreated in a chaotic manner, and the last ones finally retreated to the mountain. The crossbowmen left on the hillside also came into play at this time. A key row of arrows shot over, almost grazing the scalps of their own people and flying into the surrounding area.
Among the people in the queue, the Zhou people's charging pace finally slowed down a little.
But this is completely insufficient.
The Zhou cavalry were like gangrene attached to their bones. It was not that easy to get rid of them.
"Dang!" A saber struck head-on, and Du Meng reluctantly stood up to hold the saber in place, while a spear came out from his side, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, spitting out bright red snake tongue!
Du Meng took a breath, he was afraid that he would have to confess here today.
With two thousand new infantry and two thousand enemy cavalry fighting back and forth, I am afraid that I am not very embarrassed, right?
But you will still lose in the end.
"Dang!" Just when Du Meng was waiting to die in battle, a sword flashed past and split open the Changqiang.
A Han army leader shook him and shouted: "Great Han soldiers, never admit defeat!"
Du Meng was startled for a moment before he came back to his senses. He subconsciously waved the horizontal sword in his hand and directly swung away the saber above his head, while another Han army spearman had already penetrated the man's chest with his spear.
middle.
"General, lead us to defend this place!"
A famous Han soldier looked over and saw that everyone was fighting hard, and their eyes conveyed the same meaning.
