The horizontal knife was bright, rising and falling again.
The heads rolled and flew up as the hand dropped the knife.
There were only two to three hundred cavalrymen, just cutting through the waves and moving forward indomitably.
The Tuyuhun soldiers screamed and fled to both sides.
Wei Yuancheng could see from a distance that the number of these cavalry was not very large, but the Tuyuhun soldiers could not see it. All they could see were the blades in front of them, and the cavalry who raised their hoofs and trampled them with all their might.
, they didn’t know how many enemies there were, let alone where they came from. Coupled with the sudden burning of food and grass, these Tuyuhun soldiers were already in disarray.
Many cavalry who were mixed with the infantry wanted to come out to support, but the panicked family members pushed back and forth. Some wanted to turn around and flee, while others wanted to rush forward to kill the enemy. The soldiers bumped into each other.
, where is there any room for the cavalry to rush out?
At this time, it is not good to just knock away the infantry and rush over.
Moreover, since the cavalry have been dispersed, they almost always fight with one or two people. After all, the Tuyuhun generals originally planned to dismantle the cavalry and have several infantrymen fight with one cavalry, so that the cavalry can kill the enemy from a high position. After opening the gap,
, the infantry followed closely and rushed in. It can even be said to be a good infantry-cavalry strategy. Especially when facing the Han army, which was dominated by infantry, it really made the Han army tired to deal with it.
But now, the scattered cavalry has lost the possibility of gathering together.
The few Tuyuhun cavalry who were able to directly engage the enemy were easily killed by the Han cavalry with their numerical advantage.
The sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly became intensive. Xue Wang, realizing that something was wrong, immediately led his cavalry to kill them.
The Han army's light cavalry came out from the left and right wings again. This time, there were no crossbowmen trying to stop them. The Tuyuhun people were also in chaos. Therefore, many infantrymen could only watch the enemy's cavalry roar towards them and collide with them.
He opened his own fragile defense line, and the sword fell on his neck in the blink of an eye.
"Kill, beat the drum, kill back!" Wei Yuancheng shouted, his voice even breaking.
"Kill!" Countless Han soldiers roared.
"Kill!" The sword and shield hand who had been suppressed just now and couldn't raise his head rushed forward without hesitation, bumping into the enemy's blade and shield. The sword in his hand was fighting desperately.
Cut forward.
"Kill!" The musketeers didn't have time to reload, so they directly picked up the muskets with bayonets and went into battle. The muskets at this time were no less powerful than a spear, enough to penetrate through the gaps in the shield and directly kill the enemy.
The key! Of course, even if the shield bearer falls, the musketeers can form in twos and threes and rush forward in a row. Think about the spearman's attack, and you will know the lethality of the musketeers at this time.
"Kill!" The Han soldiers, who were unwilling to retreat at first, turned around and came to kill.
Just like the Tuyuhun people, they don't care about formation, they just know to move forward, and keep moving forward! We must kill all these damn Tuyuhun people here, and we must rescue our brothers Paoze!
No matter why the situation suddenly changed like this, no matter why the sound of golden gongs suddenly turned into the sound of drums, just move forward and kill!
Many years after this battle, an old lieutenant who had participated in this battle and was later injured during the expedition to the Western Regions and was transferred to a local civilian service recalled in an interview:
"I will never forget that scene in my life. When Wei Shuai, who was still a partial general at the time, gave the order to go back, every one of us was rushing back desperately. The ones we envied most at that time were the brothers who were behind the scenes, because they
All you have to do is stop and then push forward. That battle was the most dangerous battle I have ever experienced in my life. We almost lost our robes and retreated hastily. We were almost surrounded by the enemy and even the whole army was annihilated.
, but all the turning points are fleeting, maybe... this is war, and God bless the man."
God bless the Han Dynasty, this was the first thought in the minds of many Han soldiers.
However, Wei Yuancheng, who was commanding the battle at that time, knew that the unexpected turn of events in this battle was that the more than two hundred Han cavalry broke into the enemy's formation without hesitation. Regardless of whether they hit by accident, the enemy was always like this.
It was an obvious weakness or simply vulnerable. This time, it hit Tuyuhun's army seven inches away.
As the Tuyuhun military formation rolled back its flag, the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses suddenly fell into complete chaos and began to retreat. Coupled with the Han army's follow-up attack, this retreat turned into a rout in an instant.
Soon Wei Yuancheng saw Lao Sun who was covered in blood.
Lao Sun smiled at him.
The wound on his forehead had not scabbed yet. His smile immediately scratched the wound, leaving blood behind. Old Sun also bared his teeth and grinned. It was really painful to hurt this place.
Wei Yuancheng didn't have time to talk to him, so he just patted him on the shoulder, and then led the Han army soldiers forward. At this time, the Han army soldiers behind him had also come forward, so naturally it was not as chaotic as before.
The offensive formation forced Tuyuhun to retreat, looking like a leisurely pack of wolves forcing their fleeing prey.
Even if this was the case just now, it was the other way around.
"Kill!" The sound of killing from the front became louder and louder.
A young general who looked young held two sledgehammers in his hands and rode his horse back and forth among the crowd, almost unstoppable. He hammered with his left hand and hammered with his right hand, hitting people directly wherever he went.
The enemy's head was split open, and red and white things were sprayed all over the hammer. Where had the Tuyuhun soldiers seen such a ferocious look? Later, when they saw him charging towards him, they ran around in a hurry, and even the cavalry stayed away.
.
This guy is just like chopping melons and vegetables for infantry. Who knows if he can deal with cavalry as easily? You know, when his hammer comes down, even one man and one horse together may not be able to hold it back!
The cavalry behind the young general followed to cover the two sides. The Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were fleeing. As soon as they rushed up, a group of people immediately fled with more people, and naturally it turned into a rout.
Wei Yuancheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
The reason why the whole battle changed so suddenly is so simple.
This guy looked like he was smashing the enemy's head, but in fact he smashed the enemy's courage to pieces.
Immediately after Wei Yuancheng saw that the young general had penetrated the army formation, he turned his horse's head and chased after Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses.
Just like a wolf chasing a sheep, the Tuyuhun soldiers ran away like crazy.
Even their coach is faster.
"Jincheng Xue Ju is here, who dares to fight with me?!" The young general raised his sledgehammer, and the flesh and blood on the hammer fell "clattering" and fell on his armor, making him look like he came from
