It was already half an hour later when the deer camp fifty steps away from the Han army's camp was completely destroyed, and all the large and small pits thirty steps away were filled with corpses.
The Hexi Allied Forces suffered casualties of more than 2,000 soldiers and were finally able to rush to the fence without any obstruction.
Jia Xu felt that this price was affordable.
After all, these soldiers were called horse thieves, tenants, disciples or child customers just two months ago.
Personal bravery may not be lacking, but he is not familiar with military formations and has no time to get used to the coordination and cooperation of different arms. It is not surprising that the battle loss rate is higher.
"There are no roadblocks against Shu, so the Lord should encourage him!"
Under the banner of the Wei army, Jia Xu saw that the soldiers were approaching the Han army camp, so he turned his head and encouraged Huang Hua.
In yesterday's military meeting, the responsibilities of each ministry were also clarified.
Jia Xu, Pang Hui and Zhangye Commandery will lead three men to take charge of the temporary camp with the largest number of casualties; Huang Hua's headquarters, as well as the Haoyou private troops and Qianghu tribesmen under his supervision, will serve as the backbone of the camp. .
As for the cavalry commanded by Ke Wu and Hu Bo, their duties are the easiest.
They only need to use their superb riding and archery skills to drive their horses within thirty paces and cover the Han army's camp with bows and arrows when the two sides are hand-to-hand and the Han army's strong crossbows are unable to concentrate on the fight, so that the Han army cannot concentrate on fighting.
"good."
Hearing this, Huang Hua nodded lightly, jumped off his horse with an expressionless expression, drew out his sharp sword and led his troops towards the Han army camp.
When he had walked within a hundred steps, he stopped and pointed his sharp blade forward with a sharp sound.
"Break the camp!"
He would never risk his own life.
Nor will those Haoyou and Qianghu tribe leaders who came from the conquest.
They all stopped beside Huang Hua, surrounded by shields from the personal guards. They listened to the arguments of the temporarily selected Du Bo Xiaoji, and watched the private soldiers and tribesmen under his command who were not protected by armor and roared like thunder. Go forward with courage.
He is also eagerly looking forward to the joy of distributing the armor and ordnance of the Han army after the camp is broken.
In their hearts, they felt that with only 3,000 Shu soldiers and 30,000 Hexi coalition forces fighting to the death, there was no suspense about the outcome, right?
Especially, the war situation is more favorable to them at this moment.
For some unknown reason, the Han army's crude fence, which was less than two feet high, collapsed suddenly before the Wei army's remodeled carriage approached.
It seems that the Han army cut the rope themselves?
They were confused and puzzled.
Pang Hui, who was supervising the battle within fifty steps, couldn't help but let out an inaudible sigh when the fence collapsed.
Alas, it is indeed so!
When he saw the Han army's large oar warriors standing in front of the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot with their spears like a forest, he had a clear understanding of the collapse of the fence.
This move of the Han army was very wise.
Since the Hexi Allied Forces built a carriage similar to a ladder, it was difficult for the simple fence to protect the Han soldiers, and the advantage of being at a commanding height was gone.
Even when the soldiers from both sides were crowded together, they would be unable to bear the force and collapse into the camp.
In this case, it is better to push it spontaneously.
The wood used to build the fence was used as a roadblock to hinder the Wei army's attack, minimizing the disadvantage of the disparity in strength.
The rebel Guan Xing was quite decisive.
Muttering in his heart, Pang Hui looked back and saw that the soldiers under Huang Hua's command were roaring towards him. He held the shield in his hand across the front of his neck, ignored the continuous attack of crossbow arrows, and strode across Pao Ze's side with his troops. Corpses, running wildly up.
Because the Hexi soldiers who rushed in front of the Han army's Wugang chariot were being slaughtered.
"Raise the spear!"
"prick!"
Accompanied by the orders of the generals of the Han army, the tips of the Han army's lush spears protruded forward by more than half a foot.
The Hexi soldiers, who had no armor to protect themselves and no formations to speak of, were unable to cope with such a defensive situation. Most of them covered their chests and fell in a pool of blood.
The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh is endless.
The cries of ghosts and wolf howls of those who were about to die but were still lying on the ground could be heard throughout the battlefield.
Some people hold their broken limbs and arms in tears, praying that their lives will end soon to avoid the pain.
Naturally, the Han army would not care about them anymore.
What ended their suffering was the ensuing trampling of the robes.
Pang Hui knew that if this kind of death-defying tactics were allowed to continue, the bloody courage that had been inspired by the promise of huge profits would melt away.
It was his long-cherished wish to kill Guan Xingxue's father's hatred.
He felt that he would not allow the morale of the front army to collapse and trigger a retreat.
And he knows how to crack it.
"Gathering Spears!"
When he rushed forward, he shouted at his troops to gather the spearmen into a team of four or five, and at the same time they used all their strength to stab a large oar.
The effect is quite obvious.
In the successive collisions, many soldiers of the Han army holding oars had their bones cracking on their shoulders; or their throats were sweet, and blood splattered from the corners of their mouths.
The originally neatly aligned large oar shield wall finally had several gaps.
And with the passage of time, the gap gradually became larger and larger as the Hexi soldiers entered.
The soldiers with the big oars were constantly knocked to the ground. The Hexi soldiers took advantage of the fact that their old strength was gone and their new strength was making a living, and they stabbed the tip of the spear in their hands into their bodies. Although the spearmen in the rear tried their best to cover them.
As they stood, the iron armor on their bodies was protecting them, but the casualties continued to increase.
The disparity in military strength between the two sides is too great.
After the Hexi Allied Forces were half-battered in Panghui and Zhangye County, the main force of the broken camp under Huang Hua's command came one after another, but the Han army's large oar warriors who could wear iron armor could not supplement it.
Inevitably, about two-quarters of an hour later, the Han army's large oar shield wall became precarious.
"retreat!"
"Draw the sword!"
At this moment, a burst of intensive drumbeats came from the camp, causing all the front-line generals and generals who were supervising the battle to give orders in unison.
The remaining warriors with the big oars stood up directly, smashed the big oars forward and pulled away. The spearmen also quickly thrust their spears forward. Regardless of whether they were hit or not, they let go and retreated behind the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot formation.
The ring-shou sword attached to the waist was also unsheathed with a cold glow.
In response, the Hexi Allied Forces cheered.
It's just that their cheers were premature.
The Han army's Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot formation was arranged in a crisscross pattern, with passages between each other. It was narrow and narrow, allowing only three or four people to pass abreast.
In other words, this is the front line that the Han army defends, and it is also the "insidious" place where Guan Xing arranged his troops.
First, the large oar shield wall was used as the battle line, allowing the two sides to engage in hand-to-hand combat in advance, causing the Hexi soldiers to automatically abandon the long ladders, modified carriages, etc., and then retreated into the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle Formation to continue to maintain the condescending advantage - in the Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. which was more than ten feet high.
In front of the vehicle formation, the Hexi soldiers could not borrow anything to climb up, so they had to walk through the narrow passage to break out of the formation.
Unless, they all retreat first and then carry the long ladder and other items.
But this move is unwise.
If they dared to turn around, they would be killed wantonly by the powerful crossbowmen on the Han army's Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles who were protected by shields.
Moreover, the war had lasted for an hour, and more than 3,000 Hexi Allied Forces had been killed. Under such circumstances, no general who had experienced the battlefield would dare to suddenly order a retreat.
Because if you are not careful, it will cause the soldiers to flee, which will lead to a complete collapse of morale.
Pang will know the importance of this.
Jia Xu and Huang Hua, who were supervising the battle in the rear, also knew it well.
Instead of taking the risk of letting the soldiers go back to pick up things to climb on, it would be better to wait for the soldiers' corpses to pile up as high as a Wugang cart.
Therefore, the drumbeat of the Hexi Allied Forces to urge the war became urgent and exciting again.
Naturally, the soldiers charging at the front did not know what the generals were thinking.
Seeing the Han army retreating behind the chariot formation, they thought that the camp was about to be broken, so they impatiently rushed into the narrow passage of the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot formation, trying to kill the general and seize the flag in one go, so that the battle could be settled.
But it was a pity that they had just rushed through the passage and fell to the ground.
They were just staring at the Han army in front, and they had no time to watch out for the spear points and blades protruding from both sides. Even if they saw them, they couldn't deal with them at the same time.
The booby-trapped passage became a place of hatred for Hexi soldiers.
Only half a quarter of an hour passed, and the passage was blocked by layers of corpses.
Just as Jia Xu and others wished, the Han army's Wuhan Iron and Steel Chariot Formation and the Hexi soldiers did not need to borrow anything to climb, and they were able to climb up to the bloody battle smoothly.
And they discovered something. Every time the Han army tilted their crossbows, the arrows seemed to become much thinner.
Right.
The war has lasted for so long, and Ni Shu has not been stingy with his crossbow arrows, so they should all be used up.
Or to say that, after being suppressed by Ni Shu for so long and nearly four thousand soldiers killed or injured, it is time for our army to show off its power!
Jia Xu said nothing, just looked back and nodded gently.
"Woo~~"
"Woo~~Woo~~"
As the melodious horn horn was blown, the experienced soldiers noticed something strange.
The ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly. Even if there was a thin layer of snow covering it, it could not stop the gravel from jumping up from the ground one by one.
After a while, the thunderous sound of horse hooves covered up the sound of fighting on the battlefield.
In the rear camp of the Hexi Allied Forces, more than ten thousand cavalrymen swept in from the left and right under the supervision of Ke Wu and Hu Bo Juzhi.
These cavalrymen who are skilled in riding and shooting, five or six riding side by side like a long dragon, ran more than thirty steps in front of the camp from a distance. After quickly shooting arrows in their hands, they could also turn their horses' heads and gallop back.
Looking at the direction of Juechen, he was planning to take a roundabout way and launch the projectile again.
Likewise, the sky inside the Han military camp became sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy due to the intermittent coverage of arrow rain.
The wooden barriers of the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicle and the shields inserted on the vehicle were filled with dense arrows; there were also countless bone and hammer hammers that roared and tore the air, and "hoo~hoo~" emitted weird and violent roars, constantly harassing the Han people.
The mood of the soldiers.
Although the Hexi cavalry, who were mainly Qiang and Hu, used weak bows and inferior arrowheads.
However, under the rain of arrows, the tightly arrayed Han army inevitably began to suffer casualties.
The only fortunate thing is that all the Han troops are well armored, and the weak arrows of the Hexi cavalry did not damage the vital parts.
Except for a few who were killed by arrows in the neck, many soldiers who were injured in one or two places continued to fight fiercely, and their morale did not show any signs of weakening.
Because as Jia Xu had guessed before, the Han troops guarding this place were all elite soldiers carefully selected by Wei Yan from various troops! Therefore, they remained unmoved in the face of the endless onslaught of the Hexi Allied Forces.
Even though the war had lasted for nearly three hours.
Yes, it’s past noon.
Jia Xu had no intention of withdrawing his troops.
Instead, despite the dissuasion of Huang Hua and other generals, he personally led his troops to the Han army camp.
When he was about to leave, he also asked Ke Wu and Hu Bo to order all the cavalry to dismount and participate in the infantry battle!
He knew that at this point in the war, there was no room for turning around.
Now that all means have been exhausted, the Han army is still undefeated. Once the troops are withdrawn to allow them to rest and regroup, the Hexi Allied Forces will have no chance to break through the camp.
The scout reported that Ma Dai's tribe, which was wandering not far from the battlefield, had begun to tentatively charge into the formation. He was confident that the six thousand cavalry assigned to him could contain Ma Dai's tribe, but he was worried that Ma Dai would send people.
Ask Wei Yan to come for help.
After all, the Hexi Allied Forces suffered too many battle losses and their morale has declined.
Wei Yan did not need to relieve the siege of Jincheng County. He only needed to deploy two thousand soldiers to assist the Guanxing Ministry in guarding it, and he could sit back and relax.
Here, he can only lead the way and inspire everyone to follow him to the death.
No coincidence.
"Bang the drum!"
"Use the battle!!"
Guan Xing, who was under the banner of the Han Army, gave orders to the drummer beside him, then drew his sharp sword and headed towards the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle Formation.
It's not because the war is in danger.
But he felt that the war was about to end - he had been guarding it for so long, and all the 30,000 Han troops hiding in the west of Stone Mountain must have moved out!
"kill!"
"kill!"
The generals of both sides were on the front line, making the battle more intense.
One side rushed forward without fear of death, while the other side refused to give in and defended to the death, causing the stumps to be chopped off, the liver to be ripped open and flowing out, and the white brains and black and red brains to be splashed out after half of the head was cut off.
Drops of blood dominate this world.
At this time, a loophole finally appeared in the defense line of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle Formation.
Wu Liu's Wugang chariot was occupied by the Hexi soldiers, and was later overturned and destroyed, leaving about ten feet of the Han army's defense line. The Hexi soldiers, who were already red-eyed, surged in without the need for their generals to give orders.
Huang Hua, who had no choice but to follow Jia Xu to the battle, saw him and his face immediately lit up with joy.
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest!
They had been fighting against Shu for so long, and they relied on this front to remain undefeated.
Now that the front line has been breached, their morale will inevitably plummet, and within a quarter of an hour at most, the outcome will be decided!
He was so determined in his heart.
It is also a pity that my direct descendants are a little far away and cannot compete for the success of killing generals and capturing flags.
But soon, he was glad that his subordinates did not catch up.
Just as many soldiers from Hexi followed the loopholes in the Han army's defense line, a group of about five hundred heavy infantrymen wearing heavy armor and ghost faces strode forward in silence.
Huang Hua knew this heavy infantry.
In other words, all the generals in the Hexi Allied Forces are familiar with this group of soldiers.
It is a "death camp" belonging to Zheng Pu, the guard of Hanzhong!
However, wasn't Scar Pu stabbed by Li Jian and still resting in the Fortress of Manyin? Why did the death camp of his direct descendants appear here!
Huang Hua's eyes were filled with confusion, and a vague sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.
"kill!"
With a dull roar, five hundred infantrymen formed a cone-shaped formation and destroyed the front line.
All the Hexi coalition forces that squeezed into the Han army's camp were as vulnerable as pieces of bamboo being attacked by bamboo poles.
Liu Lin, who was in the front row of the array, was the most brave with his spear on the left and sword on the right.
With his right hand, he rounded the Huanshou knife and chopped open the head and shoulders of a Wei soldier. With the strength of his body leaning forward to the left, he raised the short spear held high in his left hand over his shoulder and stabbed it into the mouth of another Qiang Hu.
The strength was so great that several of his teeth flew out.
When he straightened up, he flew up and kicked the body in front of him that had not yet fallen down, towards the Wei troops who were continuing to advance, causing several of them to stumble.
"kill!"
With a roar, the swords and short spears intertwined again, leading the heavy infantry to destroy everything.
The ferocious faces and thick armors of all the heavy infantrymen were splashed with black and red blood and stained with white and yellow unknown viscous liquid.
It scares people to see it.
Seeing Jia Xu, who had just hoped to break the formation and was destroyed again, his eyes were cracked, and he went up to him with howls.
Therefore, he did not notice that Huang Hua in the rear seemed to be surprised by something and was hurriedly leaving the battlefield in panic. Moreover, when he met Ke Wu along the way, he only whispered a few words, which actually made Ke Wu turn back and leave.
