Chapter 586 The Battle of the Yellow River
Hua Kun's cavalry withstood a wave of powerful arrows from the Han army, and his ferocity immediately surged into his heart. He roared and activated the war horses to accelerate the charge, wanting to take advantage of the gap between the shooting of the Han army's crossbowmen! These Xianbei people have had many dealings with the Han army, and they are very familiar with the weapons and tactics of the Han army. They know that although the Han army's powerful crossbows are powerful, it is very time-consuming to prepare for shooting after shooting. The shooting interval is very long. Therefore, after the Han army's powerful crossbows are shot, it is a good opportunity for them to seize the opportunity to charge. If it is fast enough, they can even attack their military formation before the second round of shooting of the Han army's powerful crossbows!
Hua Kun led the cavalry to charge by horses, making a roar like a wolf pack, and the rolling waves formed by cavalry were quickly approaching the battle formation of the Han army!
After shooting in the first row of the Han army, a thousand powerful crossbowmen quickly retreated. The second row of the 1000 powerful crossbowmen stepped forward immediately. They had already prepared and immediately raised their strong crossbows to send out the second wave of strong arrows to the surging enemy waves! A black shadow flew rapidly through the space between the two sides. Almost at the same time, countless people were shot down in the middle of the Xianbei cavalry! The powerful crossbow arrows easily pierced the wallets of the Xianbei cavalry and even penetrated out from the backs of the Xianbei cavalry! The Xianbei people did not expect that the opponent's second round of arrow rain would come so quickly, and they couldn't help but be shocked. The entire cavalry group seemed a little confused, and the momentum of the impact was much weaker than before. However, the Xianbei cavalry was still rushing towards the Han army formation under the supervision of Hua Kun's roar!
After the second row of powerful crossbowmen fired, they quickly retreated to the end and reloaded like the previous one. At this time, a thousand powerful crossbowmen in the third row quickly stepped forward and raised their crossbows to launch a third wave of shooting. At this time, the enemy's combat cavalry was only thirty steps away from the Han army formation, and the bloodthirsty faces of the Xianbei people were clearly visible! A strong rain of arrows rushed into the wave of enemy cavalry and shot countless times! The momentum of the Xianbei people's impact was weakened by a huge amount!
At this time, Yan Liang, who was immediately in the army, shouted loudly: "Boardman retreat! Get ready for melee!" The three thousand powerful crossbowmen quickly retreated into the formation. The thousand shieldmen quickly stepped forward to form a tight shield wall. At the same time, the thousand spearmen rushed to the shieldman and raised their spears toward the wave of cavalry that was about to rush into.
At this moment, the surging Xianbei cavalry used their innate cavalry and shooting skills to send a rain of arrows to the Han army! The arrows were dancing like locusts. Some Han army officers and soldiers fell down while the arm and shoulders were still standing on the battlefield without feeling, preparing for battle. The Xianbei people's riding and shooting effect was much lower than their expectations, because most of the arrows they shot were blocked by the tall shield wall!
At this time, the Xianbei cavalry had rushed to about ten footsteps in front of the Han army formation! They all put down their bows and arrows, picked up spears and scimitars, and roared fiercely, colliding directly towards the Han army front! The Han army front remained motionless and was ready to face their attack!
In a blink of an eye, the cavalry waves hit the Han army's front heavily, making a huge impact sound, just like a storm of the shore! The Han army's front was crisscrossed by the fierce impact of the cavalry waves, and it seemed that it was about to collapse at any time. The Han army officers and soldiers tried their best to stabilize the front with the tower shield! The beast blood of the Xianbei cavalry was completely boiling at this time, and they rushed forward regardless of their roars and spears hit the shield wall in front of them like raindrops. The loud bang of ping ping ping ping ping ping ping slammed into a loud bang
It was thrilling! A Xianbei centurion urged the horse to hit the horse and knocked the Han army shield player in front of him and flew away with the person and the shield! The centurion was very excited and hurriedly activated the war horse to rush into the formation! But he was a little happy too early. At this moment, several Han army spearmen in front of him suddenly stabbed the gun. The centurion had no time to dodge, and the horse was shot and fell to the ground at the same time! Then the hook and sickle gunman hooked the centurion into the formation, and the new shield player quickly filled the gap!
The charge power of the Xianbei cavalry was quickly exhausted and eventually failed to break through the defensive front of the Han army. Nearly 20,000 combat cavalry were inevitably crowded in front of the front. Although it was impossible to advance, it was not easy to retreat.
Yan Liang's eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light, and he raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Shoot the powerful crossbow!" The three thousand powerful crossbowmen who had been ready to go immediately raised their crossbows and aimed at the enemy cavalry in front of the formation at a slightly higher angle, and pulled the trigger! With a loud bang, countless powerful arrows rushed into the enemy's cluster. Suddenly, the people in front of the formation were overturned, and the Xianbei cavalry could not dodge at all, and were shot down a large area!
At this time, Yan Liang had already led his eight hundred sword warriors to the shield wall, and raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Start the formation!"
The formation gate opened immediately, and Yan Liang personally led 800 sword warriors into the army formation and crashed into the enemy's cluster! The sword light flew up and down, and raised pieces of shocking flesh and blood. The Xianbei cavalry was caught off guard and killed, and the people and horses were shattered when the sword light passed by! The sword warriors went forward. In a blink of an eye, the ground was already covered with blood and water. Seeing the enemy so fierce, the Xianbei people in front were extremely frightened and subconsciously turned their horses to escape. However, at this time, the Xianbei people behind them were already in a tragic scene.
The cavalry still wanted to step forward, so the Xianbei cavalry in front and the Xianbei cavalry behind squeezed into a group. Although the Xianbei cavalry behind was difficult to advance, the Xianbei cavalry in front could not retreat. They couldn't help but curse in anxiety! At this time, the big sword warrior had already come up and waved the big sword with blood and ruthlessly killed the Xianbei cavalry! The Xianbei cavalry fell in a pool of blood, and the human corpses pressed against the horse's corpses, and the horse's corpses held the human corpses in it! The Xianbei people who were not dead were struggling in vain in the blood pile!
Hua Kun saw that the battle situation turned into a one-sided massacre. His nearly 20,000 combat cavalry were killed so fiercely by the opponent's 800 infantry, and he felt unbelievable!
At this moment, Hua Kun saw that the mighty general Yan Liang was rushing towards him through his troops, and he was shocked. He subconsciously activated the war horse to meet him. In a blink of an eye, the two horses intersected. Hua Kun waved his big sword to attack his opponent, but suddenly saw a flash of cold light in front of him. Before he could react, the opponent's big sword swept across his neck! The two horses crossed, and Hua Kun's head suddenly flew into the sky!
Yan Liang held the war horse and did not turn around to look. The headless Hua Kun corpse behind him ejaculated a terrible blood spring, and then the body tilted and fell off the horse. At this time, Yan Liang killed Hua Kun's head and fell to the ground with a thud. Ke Bi Neng and others were shocked when they saw this scene. The fighting spirit in their hearts withered in an instant like flowers suddenly encountered a blizzard!
The Xianbei cavalry, who were being killed by the Big Sword Warriors, had only a little fighting spirit after seeing the general Hua Kun being killed by the enemy generals. Everyone turned their horses and fled in a hurry, rushing to the top, only worried that if they ran slower, they would become the ghosts under the sword of the Big Sword Demon! The Big Sword Warriors could not catch up with the escaped cavalry, so they simply stopped chasing and stopped on the spot. They saw that there were layers of corpses all over the ground! These Big Sword Warriors stood on the sea of corpses with blood all over the mountain of corpses, holding big swords, like the god of death from hell. The terrible power made the Xianbei and Wuwan people unable to help but feel scared!
Ke Bi Neng couldn't help swallowing and looked around. He saw that no matter the leader or ordinary soldiers, everyone looked panic. Ke Bi Neng knew that this state could not be fought any longer. Even if he could barely fight, he would not know how heavy the price would be paid. Besides, his impulse to kill Lu Bu and even loot Luoyang in one fell swoop was gone in the bloody battle just now! Ke Bi Neng hesitated for a moment and shouted: "This time we let these Han people go! Let's kill them next time and kill them without leaving any armor!" Then he turned his horse and led the Xianbei people and the Wuwan people to the north.
When Yan Liang saw the barbarians leave, he smiled coldly, and immediately ordered his officers and soldiers to clean up their bodies, and at the same time piled up the enemy's bodies and the enemy who had not yet died. Yan Liang was worried that the enemy would return, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist at that time, so he immediately led his officers and soldiers back to the south bank and ordered the burning of the Yellow River floating bridge. Then, the army retreated back to Luoyang.
When Ailang led his army into Luoyang to fight the barbarian army, Liu Bei, who was stationed in Hangu Pass, was waiting for the opportunity. As the saying goes, the fisherman was profitable when fighting against the snipe and clam. He was waiting for Ailang and Kebien to fight for both losses. Liu Bei estimated that although the Lu Bu army was strong in elite forces, its strength was limited after all, and it would eventually be defeated in the confrontation with hundreds of thousands of barbarian coalition forces. However, it was not easy for the barbarian army to win, and it would inevitably pay an extremely heavy price. Liu Bei's wishful thinking was that Lu Bu would inevitably be defeated and retreated to Xuanyuan Pass, and the barbarian army would inevitably suffer heavy losses at that time. At that time, he took the opportunity to lead his army to Hangu Pass to raid Luoyang, and he would definitely repel the barbarian army to occupy Luoyang, without having to break up with Lu Bu at this time.
Liu Bei stood above the city gate and looked into the distance. His thoughts had already flown to the most magnificent and rich city in the world today. He was a little excited and impatient.
At this time, Zhuge Liang quickly walked to Liu Bei, clasped his fists and bowed, "Lord!" Liu Bei immediately looked at Zhuge Liang and asked hurriedly, "Has Lu Bu been defeated?"
Zhuge Liang frowned, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and said, "I just received an urgent report. Lu Bu's army first defeated the Hun army led by the Right King of the Xiongnu, and then saved the vast majority of the captured people from Ke Bineng. Now he has gained a foothold in Luoyang!" Liu Bei was surprised and couldn't help but shout, "How is this possible?" No wonder Liu Bei couldn't believe it. After all, Ailang had to face more than 20,000 soldiers and horses! He could actually defeat the barbarians and protect Luoyang?
