128 How much blood can still flow
...
Above the stone fort, Han soldiers rested beside the bonfires where they were sitting.
After several days of marching, he encountered another defensive battle, which was a great test for the soldiers' physical strength. When the enemy is not attacking now, he naturally needs to speed up his rest.
"Give……"
After Lao Zhang returned from collecting crossbow arrows from outside the fort, he just sat down by the bonfire and handed the soft-burned Hu cake to him.
Old Zhang was not polite either. He tore off half of Zhang Ping and bite her hard, then leaned down on the ground, looking at the night sky covered with galaxies.
Soon after, he stood up and asked, "Did you open a porcelain pot of meat? I smelled it. It was indeed beef, he was from you, you are unconscientious, and you eat beef by yourself, so Lao Zhang, I, will you eat beef?"
When the companions around him heard this, they laughed in unison. Then one of the companions handed over the roasted beef and said, "How can you do it? You will naturally keep the good things for you, eat..."
Lao Zhang snatched the beef, then grabbed it on the cake, took a bite, chewed it comfortably for a while, and nodded and said, "It's so fragrant, it's really awesome. Since I ate this beef, I realized that there are such delicacies in this world, which are fragrant, fragrant..."
Only the front-line border soldiers were qualified to have large-scale equipment. On average, one beef porcelain jar was one in a row when going to war, with fifteen kilograms of pickled and cut beef. It was practical as long as it was taken out and roasted on the fire. If possible, it could be fried in oil on the pot. It would be even more delicious and was loved by the soldiers of the border soldiers.
As for the second-tier army, although there is also a beef quota, the amount cannot be compared with the front-tier army, and most of them are pork.
After a piece of Hu cake rolled with meat, Lao Zhang's strength recovered. After he took a sip of hot soup mixed with onion and garlic, he couldn't help but burp comfortably.
After a meal, everyone sat here and started chatting.
I saw Lao Zhang touching the armor on his stomach, crossing his legs, and vaguely saying, "Do you know why I volunteered to pick up crossbow arrows? It's because I don't want to cook. Look, now, I can eat ready-made ones when I come back after a walk around."
A soldier sitting opposite Lao Zhang said after hearing this: "It turns out that it's all your plan. I said, you are so lazy, but suddenly you are so diligent. It seems that everyone is obsessed with you..."
"You can't say that..." Lao Zhang retorted, "It's a great risk to pick up crossbow arrows outside the stone castle. If those Hu people gather around me, I'll tell you where. Why don't you try next time?"
The Han soldier curled his lips: "Come on, if the Hu people outside the stone fort have retreated, would you have the courage to pick up crossbow arrows? Not to mention that the dog eyes are staring at the fort. As long as there is a turbulence, you and Qi Wen can be rescued as soon as possible."
"Tsk~"
Old Zhang no longer quarreled with him, but just glanced at the location of the dog's eye and couldn't help but sigh: "You guys don't know, the arrows in the dog's eye forest are really accurate. Today I'm watching behind him. Ten crossbow arrows are all shot. Every time the trigger is pulled, a Hu man fell to the ground. I'm afraid that it's the most exquisite in-cum art in our castle?"
A thin Han soldier replied, "Isn't this nonsense? Before joining the army, Gouyan Forest had been hunting in the mountains and forests for more than ten years. Now with such a powerful crossbow in hand, isn't it like a tiger with wings?"
Another said: "You can't say that. This crossbow is easy to use and has a high head. However, it is difficult to pull the trigger and the strings of the crossbow for a long time. Look at my fingers..."
He raised his right hand, but saw that his index finger was already a little red and swollen, which was still with a ring in his arms.
The companion next to him pressed his arm and said, "Okay, you can rest tomorrow. Let's shoot the Hu people. Today, I'm so hungry that I'm so hungry. Leave a few Hu people to exchange for military merits..."
"Hahaha……"
There were laughter and joy beside the bonfire, as if the bloody battle during the day was thrown behind the mind, and the atmosphere was extremely active.
At this time, Xu Wenjing was standing on the wall of the stone fort, looking at the sparks of the Bohe military camp under the hillside outside the stone fort, and kept muttering words.
"One month!" After a long time, Xu Wenjing said, "From our army's performance today, guarding the Stone Fort is more than one month. I believe that Bai Qi should have conquered Vacci City at that time and come to meet with us, right?"
...
On the tenth day of January, after two days of rest, Bai Qi and Tuoba Ju's army started a fight again.
This time, Bai Qi changed the formation and placed the Han army's heavy cavalry directly on the front battlefield, allowing the infantry to cooperate and attack with the cavalry.
This is a crazy idea. In this era of cold weapons, few people can perfectly present him. In this way, the close cooperation between infantry and cavalry is crucial. Once the speed is wrong, the arrested infantry is very likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the opponent. The cavalry loses the assistance of the infantry and is also at risk of being annihilated.
But Bai Qi was very confident. He believed that his troops could definitely do this. As long as this tactic was successful, the Mengluo army on the periphery of Vacci would definitely die in one battle, and he could concentrate on attacking Vacci City.
However, Tuoba Ju was not as imposing as the day before yesterday. When he confronted Bai Qi's army, he put the defensive first and seemed to have no intention of taking the initiative to attack.
The reason was that during the battle the day before yesterday, the casualties in his army were shocking. He also understood that the Han army's armor was amazing. Now the number of heavy iron cavalry on the Po Army was only 200. It was useless except for deterrence, and he had to be careful.
The two sides were quietly confronting each other. Bai Qi walked in front of the formation and watched the enemy's movements with a glass. After confirming that Tuoba Ju was planning to be a "turtle", he immediately ordered the flag-tipman to pass the order.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
"Xilulu..."
The sound of drums like thunder rose up in excitement, and the war horses under the crotch of the Han cavalry made a sound.
The infantry on both sides of the cavalry held their weapons tightly and waited nervously for the trumpet to blow the war.
“Woo~~”
The dull horn sound finally emerged, the next moment...
"Strike~~"
"Drink~~"
Niu Jin shouted loudly and personally led three thousand cavalrymen to rush towards the opposite Mengluo army formation at a constant speed, and the infantry battle formation also began to move.
"The Han army attacked~~"
In the Mengluo army, when he witnessed the Han soldiers coming, he immediately reported the military situation to Tuoba Ju.
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ju stood heavily on the ground with a cold saw in his hand and said loudly to Slop Kun: "Please prepare for the archers. The Han army enters the range and shoots immediately. Be sure to knock out their arrogance in one round!"
“Yes~”
Slopun accepted the order loudly, and later he went to the archer formation to command and fight against the Han army.
"Crack ~~"
The archers in the Mengluo army all pulled the rhinoceros horn bow in their hands. The bow string made of cow tendon was pulled hard by the soldiers, and the wolf-tooth arrows on the bow string were coldly aimed at the scorching sun in the air...
"Boom~~"
The deafening sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Han cavalry was less than a hundred steps away from the Mengluo Army formation.
"Shoot the arrow~"
"Shit..."
At the order of Officer Mengluo, thousands of wolf-toothed arrows gathered into a dark cloud, falling overwhelmingly to launch an attack on the Han army.
"Look down~"
"Ding Ding Ding..."
Niu Jin shouted loudly and quickly lowered his head. The next moment, the rain of arrows fell into the cavalry formation, making a sound of metal hitting, but he did not hear the movement of arrowheads breaking through his body.
"Cum again~"
"Shit..."
As Officer Monroe let out another roar, the second wave of arrows arrived in an instant.
However, except for blunt weapons, ordinary bows and arrows could not cause fatal damage to them.
After thousands of wolf-toothed arrows were shot out, Sulkun sadly discovered that the opponent's infantry and cavalry had not even slowed down and had already entered a distance of seventy steps.
At this time, there is no need to continue shooting the bows and arrows. Sulkun waved his hand and had to send cavalry to block the attack. Otherwise, when the enemy continues to approach, the Mengluo army will inevitably be in chaos.
"Well~~"
Amid the long roar of war horses, a thousand Monroe cavalry rushed out of the army and rushed towards the Han cavalry.
"Formation~"
Seeing this, Niu Jin immediately turned the cavalry into a lineup of one-line cavalry and rushed over with a spear.
Under the sky, two smoke and dust gradually gathered, and another duel between the Han and Mongolian cavalry began...
"Bang~~"
"Crack~"
The violent collision occurred in the cavalry formations on both sides, and the brutal battle began again with the sound of the cavalry rifle breaking.
But this time, the cavalry strategy that the Monroe people have always been proud of failed. In front of the neat and tightly riding the wall, countless Monroe cavalry were stabbed by inferior cavalry one by one before they could perform their superb martial arts.
“Hey~”
Niu Jin took the lead and aimed at a Monroe cavalry who was coming towards him, hanging on the side of the horse's body to try to chop the horse's legs. He slapped his iron spear in his hand fiercely.
"Bang~"
"Well~~"
The iron spear was pressing heavily on the horse's back for a moment, and the war horse made an extremely painful neighing sound, which could not bear the power of Niu Jin's spear, and directly broke the horse's legs. Along with the Mengluo cavalry hanging on the side of the horse, it was knocked down under the horse.
"Die~"
Niu Jin succeeded with a blow, and when he rode his horse away, the iron spear in his hand was raised to the ground again. The one-meter-long spear blade directly crossed the head of the Mengluo cavalry with the support of the horse's speed...
In front of the wall, the Monroe cavalry was at a disadvantage in the moment of contact. The strategy of trying to stop the Han army from advancing had failed and became the souls of the Han army's iron cavalry and rifle.
The Mengluo cavalry who luckily rushed past the Han army's fences were surrounded by infantry following the Han army's cavalry.
Faced with so many infantry surrounded, these Monroe cavalry were extremely desperate and eventually were pulled down one by one in the fearless attack...
