Chapter 824

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Liu Jing personally led 50,000 Han soldiers out of Xiaoguan and slowly came to the Wuhuan garrison ten miles away. In this team, in addition to the 5,000 heavy armored infantry led by Liu Hu and Lei Tong, there were also 6,000 cavalry led by Pang De and the Thousand Shields, Spears and Crossbow Army led by Wu Pan.

Another thing is a thousand bee crossbows hidden in the team, which is a huge weapon of killing the Han army, which is effective against nomadic peoples.

Although the Wuhuan people were slightly inferior to the Huns, they were also nomadic peoples after all, and they had superb horse control skills and should not be underestimated. More importantly, the troops on both sides were of equal strength.

The opponent had 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 Hun cavalry, with only 10,000 fewer troops than the Han army. In addition, they were all cavalry, and their close combat strength was greater than that of the Han army. The Han army could only rely on advanced troops and armor to compete with the enemy.

In addition, the opponent has another weakness, that is, the Hun cavalry will not fight easily and can do things that can be done by taking advantage of the situation, but it is probably unrealistic to ask him to help him in time. Once the Wuhuan army is defeated, the Hun cavalry will definitely evacuate. This is Jia Xu's analysis of the Huns.

But no matter what, the Han army was established to block the enemy and the water was flooded with earth.

Liu Jing led 50,000 Han troops gradually approached the Wuhuan cavalry camp. When there were still two miles away, Liu Jing waved his hand and the army stopped the front army. The Han army quickly formed a formation.

The formation is wide, with flags waving and a huge momentum. At the front are five thousand heavy armored infantry, killing horses and swords like forests, shining in the sunlight, and the five thousand heavy armored infantry are arranged in a row, forming a sharp and unstoppable wall of swords.

On both sides of the heavy armored infantry, there are two thousand cavalry each. They guard the left and right sides of the heavy armored infantry. Behind the heavy armored infantry are one thousand bee crossbow chariots, each bee crossbow chariot is controlled by a man.

In addition, each bee crossbow cart has a famous shield, gun, crossbow army guards. This kind of crossbow cart is not easy to manufacture and must ensure their safety.

Behind the bee crossbow chariot are six thousand crossbow soldiers, and they and the bee crossbow formed two layers of attacks.

At this time, a whimpering horn sounded from the opposite side, and teams of cavalry sailed out of the camp and quickly lined up in the wilderness. The military system of the Wuhuan cavalry was the same as the Huns. Ten thousand people were commanded by one guard, one ten thousand men commanded by ten thousand men, and ten men were divided into ten armies. Each army was equipped with two thousand men, five men, and ten men.

The military flag is marked with Wuhuan Mountain. They do not use shields, and they all wear double cowhide armor. The weapons are quite chaotic, including swords, spears, maces, or local bows and arrows and condoms.

Liu Meng led 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry to supervise the battle behind. Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Meng raised his horn and blew it. The low horn sounded. Then, several horns in the Xiongnu army were blowing at the same time.

This was an offensive order. Lu Xi had no choice but to grit his teeth and issue an order, "Impact"

The commander of the left army was Chi Ning, the Bian Shu. He could no longer hold back and waved his sword and roared, "Sons, kill me."

He rushed out first, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him started at the same time, with a thunderous sound, and shouting and killing rushed to the sky, "Kill"

Ten thousand horses galloped like surging waves. Under the guidance of several large flags, war horses rolled towards the Han army, unstoppable.

At this time, Liu Jing ordered coldly: "Bee crossbow comes forward"

The heavily armored infantry dispersed one after another, and one soldier launched a thousand extremely sharp bee crossbows. The wooden cover opened, and the crossbow arrows slowly rose. The ten iron crossbow arrows in the crossbow box were coldly aimed at the slanting sky. The bow strings on both sides had been tightened, and a thousand bee crossbows lined up, aiming at the rushing army of thousands of horses and thousands of troops. The battle was about to begin.

Liu Jing looked at a thousand wooden ox bee crossbows with a solemn expression. He valued this kind of killing weapon against cavalry. For a long time, the Han army had never had a good way to deal with cavalry. They mainly rely on heavy armored infantry. The advantages of heavy armored infantry against cavalry are very obvious. Using sharp long blades to chop war horses is invincible.

However, the weakness of heavy armored infantry is also obvious, that is, they are clumsy and slow, and they are inconvenient to move. They will have a good effect on the first time when they deal with cavalry. However, if the opponent suffers a great loss, they will not hit the knife again the second time. The cavalry will often bypass the heavy armored infantry and attack the army behind.

Therefore, for the Han army, another weapon to deal with cavalry is urgently needed, especially long-range weapons. Ordinary crossbows have a relatively close range. Often after one or two rounds, the enemy cavalry will rush to the front of them, and the strike effect is not good. However, if they cooperate with the bee crossbow of the infantry to form two layers of shooting far and near, and the defense wall of heavy armored infantry will form a multi-level attack on the enemy cavalry and will achieve good results. Liu Jing will wait and see the power of the bee crossbow.

The Wuhuan cavalry and horses galloped, and ten thousand cavalry formed a black wave, raising the rolling yellow dust, and the murderous aura soared into the sky, and it was unstoppable. Chi Ning took the lead, raised the sword high, his eyes turned red. This was his chance to take revenge. At Xiaoguan, they were not good at defending the city, and they were easily captured by the Han army. Most of the troops were damaged. Chi Ning regarded it as a great humiliation. Now it was their sharpest cavalry attack. Chi Ning held his breath and wanted to completely defeat the Han army with a destructive aura.

The Wuhuan cavalry rushed within a mile, and the formation of the Han army changed again. Six thousand crossbow soldiers quickly stepped forward from behind and divided into platoons. After the bee crossbow, six thousand military crossbows were lifted up and aimed at the rushing cavalry.

The Wuhuan cavalry rushed into four steps, with yellow dust all over the sky, the earth trembling, and powerful murderous aura swept over, which was terrifying and discolored. This was the most powerful attack of the nomadic cavalry, and the power contained in it even cried for the heaven and earth.

The cavalry finally rushed into the sprint, and the sound of the war drums of the Han army suddenly sounded. This was the order for shooting. A thousand bee crossbow chariots were ready. The launching soldiers turned the switch at the same time. Only a cracking sound was heard. The powerful iron crossbow arrows were shot out instantly. The dense crossbow arrows quickly formed a net of arrows, shooting towards the rushing cavalry group like a storm.

In the first round, ten thousand iron crossbow arrows produced a huge effect. The iron crossbow arrows fell down in parabola. The heavy iron made it powerful impact force, shooting through the double leather armor of the cavalry. The overwhelming crossbow arrows caused a large number of cavalry to be shot. The cavalry screamed and fell off the horse, and were trampled like mud by the war horses rushing behind, or the war horses roared, rolling forward with people and horses, knocking over the front and back cavalry. When running at high speed, once they were caught, they would undoubtedly die.

On the near-limited impact surface, you can see cavalry rolling and falling to the ground everywhere. With just one round of ten thousand crossbow arrows, more than two thousand cavalry were killed, which made countless Wuhuan cavalry frightened. However, the cavalry in front could no longer turn around or give up. The cavalry group rushed over and wrapped the cavalry in front to advance.

After one round of crossbow arrow shot, the operator did not stop watching. The two soldiers pulled the winch left and right, and the shooting soldiers put a box of new crossbow boxes onto the arrow groove. They moved quickly and completed the second round of launch preparation in a moment. However, the second round did not need to wait for the sound of war drums to ring. After the preparation was completed, they would be launched immediately.

The ten thousand men Chi Ning avoided the first round of shooting and looked at the powerful crossbow arrows, and he was shocked. However, he only ran for dozens of steps. The iron crossbow arrows like locusts rushed towards him again. The cold light flashed, and several crossbow arrows had arrived in front of him. Chi Ning had no choice but to hide and screamed in despair. He was shot in the chest by the crossbow at the same time, rolled and fell off his horse, and died tragically on the spot.

The overwhelming iron crossbow arrows shot into the dense cavalry group again. Many soldiers hid behind the war horses, but the effect was not great. The war horses were shot and rolled down, which also brought fatal damage to the cavalry. The second round of ten thousand crossbow arrows caused more than 1,050 casualties in the Wuhuan cavalry, and the chief general Chi Ning was unfortunately killed and died tragically.

The two rounds of crossbow arrows caused more than half of the Wuhuan cavalry to suffer casualties. The Wuhuan cavalry's offensive was stagnant, the speed was significantly slowed down, and the morale was quickly depressed. Many cavalry were so scared that they turned away, turning around, causing the cavalry team to become in chaos. However, at this time, the Wuhuan cavalry was only at the foot of the Han army formation, and another breath of death hit them.

A thousand bee crossbow chariots retreated quickly, revealing six thousand bows and crossbow troops, one row of two thousand people, divided into platoons. With the sound of a buzz, the first row of two thousand crossbow arrows were densely shot towards the Wuhuan cavalry rushing towards him. This time it was not an iron crossbow arrow, but it was also strong. Within the foot, it could still shoot through the enemy's double leather armor.

This is a close-range shooting, which is more organized than a bee crossbow. Six thousand crossbow soldiers took turns to shoot, one after another. In a moment, two rounds of 12,000 arrows were shot. The Wuhuan cavalrymen were on their backs and overturned, with heavy casualties and corpses piled up within dozens of steps.

This was undoubtedly the most fatal blow encountered by the Wuhuan cavalry. The morale was exhausted, and the cavalry collided with each other, and they were in chaos. At this time, the bell of withdrawal came from behind. Dangdang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang, and the Wuhuan cavalry rushed to turn around and fled, and thousands of Wuhuan cavalry retreated like a tide.

The Han soldiers cheered together. Before the frontal battle, nearly half of the Wuhuan cavalry were killed and injured. This was an unprecedented result against the nomadic people. Liu Jing also laughed with relief. The bee crossbow lived up to his expectations and targeted the cavalry group in a intensive way of killing and injury, which played a great role.

At this time, Liu Jing had already seen that the Wuhuan cavalry was timid and might withdraw to the camp. He immediately ordered: "Heavy Armored Infantry to Attack"
