Chapter 457. This is outside the Great Wall!
The smoke of wolf rises and the country looks north. Yue Wumu's "Manjianghong" is not written in a nonsense. Although for Wang Hou, it is like looking west, there is no difference between rolling iron hooves!
The Hanmin, who was outside the city, ran away without knowing whether it was a makeup or a real measurement of the land, was screaming at Hu Gou! But immediately behind them, there were waves of arrows like thunderbolts. Wang Houyan watched the man running in great horror, and a Hu rider was swaying as he ran by. With a whoosh, the arrow suddenly slapped on his back. With a scream, the man threw himself to the ground.
Not only him, men, women, children, and other Hu cavalrymen were spared. The galloping cavalry swept like a hurricane. The flying rain of arrows knocked down the Han people who were still moving outside the city to the ground. For a moment, panic roars and screams of death were everywhere.
"Damn it!"
Wang Hou expected that the Wuhuan or Xianbei people would return to western Liaoning, but he did not expect that they would come so quickly, especially that he had already avoided the Daling River far away from Liucheng. In particular, Wang Hou did not expect that the sentry he had sent out for more than ten miles would be killed without even sending out the news. These Hu cavalry were caught off guard.
"Calling the bell, order Wang Yong and Xu Guang to lead their troops out of the city to welcome their citizens into the city! Light up the wolf smoke, send a signal to the mountain, cancel all labor, and return to the city to take refuge!"
He roared and issued a big order. At this critical moment, Wang Hou decided to fool him. He was sweating profusely. He turned around with a sad look and looked straight with his eyes. Zang Ba fooled him.
"Don't worry, there are some minor problems. Some troublemakers may not welcome us to open land and cultivate here!"
"Forehead……"
Looking at the two little warlords looking at each other, it is not certain that this fooling is credible.
…………
Fortunately, this is a city outside the border. When choosing a site, it did not build a commercial street first like in the pass. The first city wall was built, and this was the way to defend against it. Several piles of wolf smoke had been prepared soared into the sky. The Han people who were raising firewood and burning bricks on the mountain ran down the mountain in panic. Amid the rapid footsteps, the soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time on the battlefield, the nervous helmets knocked their foreheads and ran out of the city gate with weapons heavy. The lineup was a bit watery, but they were still formed on the two wings of the city gate.
"Liaodong brigade, move forward!"
The two lieutenants waved their swords forward together. With the heavy footsteps, the heavy infantry kept their formation and advanced forward in small steps. The light soldiers were holding cold double-bowed steel crossbows and carefully lifted them on the heads of their comrades.
The eight hundred infantrymen went out like two gates. In the middle of them, the Han people outside the city ran back with fear and screamed, and plunged into the city.
These Hu cavalry were so arrogant that they were out of nowhere. Seeing the Han army leaving the city to fight, they were still chasing the fleeing Han people.
"Damn it! Looking for death!"
Now is the era when the Han Dynasty is the Five Barbarians! The Han army was not scared by these Hu people and dared not come out! He shouted fiercely, and Wang Yong suddenly stretched out his axe and gun. Although Wang Hou's Western style axe and gun imitated was a bit embarrassing, he had to admit that the first use of these Swedish Swedish mountain people was to deal with Western feudal knights' axe and guns was really good at dealing with Western feudal knights. The sharp rear axe hook easily hooked to a rushing beside him. Hu Qi's shoulder hooked him off the horse with a scream that he couldn't understand the language.
However, the Swedish mountaineer caught the knight and sold it for ransom. There was no such rule in the east. Before Hu Qi, who was dismissed, stood up, he had already stabbed the spear with a ferocious face.
"What are you doing when you stand in a stand? Shoot the arrow! Fuck these dogs raised by the bitches!"
His loud shouting made the rookies who were in battle react. He quickly picked up the powerful crossbow and suddenly pulled the crossbow machine.
Amid the whistling arrows, the war horses rushing forward screamed and fell to the ground, throwing the Hu knights above them off the horse, and the injured and undead cavalry screamed and were dragged all the way by the war horses.
This scene happened to be reflected in Wang Hou's pupils watching the battle on the top of the city wall.
"How is it possible? How could they know!"
He was still dragged away by a war horse. In film and television dramas, this scene can often be seen, but the reason for this scene is only one item, stirrup!
Maybe the Hu people don’t have that much steel, but a strand of wool rope is enough to serve as more than half of the stirrup, so these Hu people still learned it!
In other words, this is basically based on the technology of the Huns or Xianbei people, and it was not until the Five Barbarians invaded China that it was introduced to the Central Plains!
Cavalry with stirrups and cavalry without stirrups are really two different concepts. Before the Han Dynasty, the Han cavalry easily beat Hu cavalry, but in the Five Barbarians invaded China, the military strength of the Han people was basically destroyed by the iron cavalry rolling south. All the twelve northern expeditions of the Southern Dynasty were defeated, and the military aristocrats established by the Xianbei people even supported an era.
Just one stirrup was enough to allow Wang Hou to vaguely peek at the sword and sword shadows on the eve of the catastrophe.
Especially this battle shows that more than one stirrup is as simple as it is!
With a whistle, the Hu Qi, who was originally rushing forward like a dam collapse, stopped and gave up on his pursuit. The Hu Qi, who was shot in a few rounds by arrows, held his horse and turned around and ran. This order was prohibited. It was not the quality that the Wuhuan cavalry who had just fought with Wang Hou. Those Wuhuan people were often like headless flies. A large group of people came up. The ones in front were shot to death, and the back was squeezed up. At least two or three rounds of crossbow arrows were defeated.
But in front of him, Wang Hou's light soldiers had just taken the second round of crossbow arrows, and they had already pushed them out of the precise shooting range of fifty meters!
Seeing that the Han people outside the city had fled back almost, Wang Houke was not as whimsical as letting the eight hundred infantry fight with thousands of cavalry on the flat Daling River. He also waved his sleeves quickly. Wang Congge personally held a hammer and knocked the gong with a clang, and sang gold to withdraw his troops. With a crisp sound of ding-bang, although he was on the battlefield for the first time, the well-trained Liaodong Brigade still faced the enemy with neat faces and stepped back in small steps.
However, these Hu Ji gave Wang Hou a big gift!
Suddenly, the Hu cavalry formation opposite also sounded violently. With the heavy horse hooves, the Hu cavalry in the front row suddenly scattered on both sides. Teams were holding more than two meters of spears and wearing several layers of cattle and sheep-skinned skins. The heavy cavalry among the Hu people held rifles in both hands, just like thunder roaring, and roared towards Wang Hou's infantry formation.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hou's pupils couldn't help but flash again.
Carriage and spear charge! This is the cavalry tactics that the Han army has always been consistent. Now, these Hu cavalry have been reformed in the military!
Chapter completed!
