As if there was some omen in the dark, the wind suddenly became smaller and began to sob.
The killers on both sides seemed to be stimulated by something. They all took a step forward and started fighting with weapons.
Sima Shixian of the other department stood in the third row holding a heavy sword and rushed forward.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Lu Da, the defensive soldier, fighting with a Hun soldier on the opposite side.
Both sides were holding long spears, and they seemed to be proficient in this. The spears were pointed at the opposite side.
Lu Da was too lazy to test, and stepped forward quickly, stabbing out his spear like lightning, pointing directly at the opponent's unprotected face.
The man on the other side didn't panic, tilted his gun down, hit one third of Lu Da's spear hard, deflected it, then raised the head of the gun, and stabbed Lu Da in the neck.
Masters exchange moves to determine the difference between life and death. There are no fancy moves, it's just so simple and unpretentious - of course, to achieve this kind of simplicity, it requires a lot of hard work behind the scenes.
Shi Xian's expression was calm.
When he looked at it from a distance just now, he knew that this group of Huns was difficult to deal with. Especially the front rows, which were wearing iron armor and had good morale. They were one of the Sixteenth Guards of the Huns' Forbidden Army. They had gone through many wars, and in recent years they had even suffered heavy losses.
Defeated Tuoba and Xianbei.
But so what? Who can guarantee that he will not die when he is standing on the corpse field? Just kill him. Anyway, he has nothing to worry about at home.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought came up, someone from Lu Da's back row stepped forward and stabbed him straight with his spear.
The Xiongnu soldier had just killed a man, and his confidence was greatly increased. When he saw the opponent stabbing him in the chest, he let out a secret sound, chopped down the big gun with force, and hit the opponent's gun barrel.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's hand was so powerful that the spear was knocked low. He ducked sideways and stabbed straight into the Huns' calf.
The Huns' spear passed by his ear, and his spear pierced the opponent's calf, bleeding profusely.
The man next to him stabbed him crookedly and killed the Huns.
It sounds like a lot, but actually it all happened in a flash.
If you don't look into it carefully, it can be seen from a broad perspective that after the two sides fought, people kept falling, people kept coming up, and people kept falling.
It looks similar to peasants and soldiers stabbing each other with guns, but the level is very different.
Not to mention the armor these elite soldiers wear, even if they don't wear armor, they can stab the peasants and soldiers with quick eyes and quick hands, and they can achieve a very good casualty ratio, and it won't take long to defeat the opponent.
"Poof!" A strong wind blew in front of him, blowing a large pile of blood towards Shi Xian.
Shi Xian roared, knocked away the body that was still standing in front of him, and rushed forward.
Opposite is a sword and shield wielder.
Shi Xian's long sword struck down on his head, and his opponent raised his shield to meet him, then slashed back with his right hand.
Shi Xian held his long sword horizontally, then stepped forward and pressed the enemy's Huanshou sword to his side with a strong movement of his wrist.
The enemy drew his sword quickly, and the movement was very fast. Shi Xian's long sword was even faster, and he struck the enemy's chest diagonally with great force. The huge force made the opponent stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Just as Shi Xian was about to step forward, he thrust out his robe from his left side and stabbed the unstable enemy soldier to death on the spot.
In fact, in just a few breaths, an elite veteran who had trained hard for many years collapsed.
There are enemies coming up on the opposite side...
****
Liu Cong was condescending and looked at the fighting on his left wing in surprise.
In the strong wind, debris was flying, and the sound of killing was loud.
One samurai after another shed blood on the spot.
They are all the elites that the Han Dynasty depends on for survival. They are selected from various ministries and armies. They are fed well and provided with good food and drink. They are also given the best weapons and train frequently. As a result, they are only five or five times better than the Jin people on the opposite side.
open.
That's not the Silver Spear Army!
Moreover, despite the current stalemate on the front line, there are only a thousand iron-armored warriors on our side, and there are more than 3,000 people on the opposite side. It is self-evident which side will be exhausted first as they continue to kill.
Once these elite warriors are exhausted, can the strong men behind them withstand the murderous Jin people?
Liu Cong silently issued an order.
Hou Feihu was also watching the battle on the right wing.
The Yamen Army was not so powerful before. Perhaps after serving as a soldier for many years, they accumulated a certain amount of wealth and trained themselves for a long time. They gradually made up for the shortcomings in their skills, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
More than 3,000 people marched through the wall, equipped with all kinds of weapons, and fought with the Huns' forbidden soldiers.
By this point in the battle, both sides had suffered between three and four hundred casualties, which could be described as tragic.
According to experience, if we continue to fight for a while, the enemy's left wing will be unable to withstand it.
Suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves sounded from behind the enemy formation.
Liu Cong threw in the Forbidden Army cavalry that had not been sent into battle before, a total of one thousand cavalry. They had already moved out of the rear formation and slowly moved forward.
Hou Feihu ordered the flag to be hung up, and at the same time he called for a messenger, who said calmly: "Tell Hou Fu that just now he was a bit false. If he cheats again this time, when Liang Gong's army goes south to Hedong, he will be there."
nice."
"No." The messenger got on his horse and galloped away.
After a while, at the starting position of the rear formation, drums rumbled.
Under the scolding of the leader, the Jieren cavalry quickly understood how to fight this battle - sometimes there is no need for a long speech, a brief sentence or an action from the leading officer can let these soldiers know.
Do you want to work hard?
Thousands of riders rushed out.
Those who are good at close combat are in the front, and the light cavalry are outflanking them on the left and right, using their numerical advantage to block or even defeat the enemy.
But for some reason, their movements were not so urgent or fast. Instead, they waited for the front line of the Huns' cavalry to rush into the flank of the imperial soldiers with arrows regardless of casualties, and then slowly increased their speed.
When Liu Cong and Hou Feihu saw each other, their eyes narrowed.
Liu Cong knew that the cavalry he sent out was going to suffer a heavy blow.
If they fight head-on, the Jie cavalry on the opposite side may not be able to stop them, but their mission is not to deal with the Jin cavalry, but their right-wing infantry, that is, they are killing the imperial soldiers on their left who are a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, the front army has already rushed into the Fu army formation, and the two sides are fighting fiercely. Hundreds of cavalry from the middle army and the rear army are still coming in a steady stream. If the Jie people take advantage of the situation and attack suddenly, they will definitely be divided into two or even two pieces.
Three paragraphs.
Liu Cong sighed sadly.
The elite disappeared one by one, just like his life was passing away bit by bit.
Hou Feihu watched intently, making a secret note in his heart for Zhi Fuhou.
If they worked harder and increased their horse speed to the extreme, it was possible for them to intercept most of the Huns' cavalry. But they did not do that. Instead, they waited for a while, and waited for the Huns' cavalry to rush into the Fu soldiers' formation from the flanks.
, just then he shouted and rushed forward.
These birdmen are very cunning!
With the assault of the Huns cavalry, the more than 3,000 soldiers on the right wing fell into a certain degree of chaos.
The morale of the Han army, which had been beaten up front and was already a little breathless, regained its morale. Under the leadership of the remaining imperial soldiers, they marched through the wall while shouting, and the fighting became fierce again.
Until now, both sides have been making fuss on the flanks.
The right wing of the Jin army and the left wing of the Huns were the most fiercely contested areas between the two sides, and also the part with the greatest casualties.
****
The strong wind continued to blow.
The Huns had squinted their eyes before, but now it was the Jin army's turn.
Dead branches, leaves, and thatch were mixed in the wind and kept hitting me.
The infantrymen of the Heijian Army had given up archery and had their bows fastened to their left waists.
Just two rounds of arrows were fired.
At a distance of a hundred steps, the casualties caused were very slight.
The seventy-step projectile caused slightly greater casualties, but it was also relatively limited. The only advantage was that it made the enemy's formation a little confused.
However, there were two thousand iron-armored warriors in front of them. Their formation was solemn and their movements were orderly. Under their leadership, after walking thirty steps, the formation of the miscellaneous soldiers slowly recovered.
The rhythm of the drum beat gradually increased, and the soldiers of the Black Army held rifles in their hands and sped up their pace slightly.
The crossbows on both sides fired non-stop.
The thick arrows penetrated dozens of steps, causing horrific damage in their respective formations.
Xu couldn't bear the huge casualties caused by the crossbow machine, so both sides speeded up their pace and collided hard.
Looking down from the air, as soon as the Han and Jin sides came into contact, their respective elite soldiers fell in rows, and the thick formations melted little by little like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
One falls and another is added.
One row is dead, and another row comes up.
One side was full of fighting spirit and vowed to sweep the Huns away.
One party is deeply favored by the king and has nothing to repay, so it can only fight to the death.
Liu Cong dispatched the final reserve team.
There were still more than 700 Imperial Guard cavalry left in the previous attack. After resting for a while, they changed their horses and went into battle again.
Following them were two to three thousand light cavalry. These were Xiongnu tribesmen, rare and strong soldiers selected from the army going south.
A total of 3,000 cavalry came forward, bypassing the Xiongnu right wing and the Jin army's left wing, and even risked being fired by the Yang tribe's thousands of arrows to attack the Heiyi army sideways.
To capture the living army, the heroic cavalry army rushed forward immediately, regardless of life and death, and fought with the Huns.
Liu Quan led two thousand light cavalry in a roundabout way to the flank of the Huns cavalry, arrows raining down like rain.
At this time, you can see who is one of your own and who is an outsider.
The Zhuosheng Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army, and even Liu Quan's Jie Ren Cavalry rushed forward desperately, trying their best to intercept the Huns, preventing them from having the chance to flank the Hei Ni Army.
On the other hand, Tong Fuhou's group of birdmen focused on reducing their own casualties...
The wind gradually died down.
In the open wilderness, three fighting groups have been formed.
Looking from the direction of the Jin army——
The first one is on the right front.
The Fu soldiers fought with the Hun infantry on the opposite side, while their flanks were still enduring the impact of the Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry was stopped and charged by the Hou Fuhou cavalry. The group was already in chaos and scattered in all directions.
The second place is located in the center.
The Heijian Army and the Xiongnu Infantry Army had just engaged in battle, and it was the time to fight Zhenglie.
The third one is on the left side of the center.
Thousands of cavalry from both sides were fighting together, fighting each other. Because there was not enough space and each was threatened by the crossbows of the other side's infantry, they gradually moved outward.
Liu Cong has sent out almost all the reserve teams to make the final winning move.
He stood on a high platform with only a thousand guards around him, which was very weak.
Of course, strictly speaking, there are still thousands of strong men in the camp, but they are old and young, and their combat power is questionable. Is this considered a reserve force?
****
"The strong wind came just in time!" The camp door opened, and groups of cavalry filed out.
Duan Liang put up the awning with his hands and looked at the sky.
"Bah! This is also called the sun? It's so cold." He spat, turned to look at the Youzhou Cavalry Governor who was slowly arranging his army in the field, and laughed: "My sons, follow me and charge for a while.
Warm yourself up."
Everyone laughed.
After waiting for a while, when all the troops were almost in formation, Duan Liang took the lead and shouted: "Good wind, help me!"
"Good wind, help me!" The 1,500 soldiers of the Youzhou Cavalry Commander shouted in unison and followed closely.
More than a thousand Jie people's light cavalry accelerated their horses and circled forward, driving away the enemy's skirmishers and clearing the road.
Nearly three thousand horsemen marched forward without hesitation, charging straight out from the right side of the battlefield.
Some Hun cavalry scattered on the periphery of the battlefield discovered this new force joining the battlefield.
The shepherds hesitated.
The faces of the Forbidden Army's scattered cavalry were also a little pale, but they quickly reacted and loudly called for the herdsmen to come closer to them. They planned to take advantage of their speed and shoot arrows from a medium distance to delay this large armored cavalry.
Liu Cong also saw it, and his face was as dark as water.
The civil and military officers who gathered around him opened their mouths slightly and were at a loss.
On the battlefield in the upper right corner, Shi Xian was already wearing three wounds. Unknowingly, he hit the outermost side of the battlefield.
He had just killed a Hun soldier and suddenly felt the earth tremble.
Glancing out of the corner of my eye, I could only see the densely packed horse legs.
White, black, and yellow, one after another, densely packed, like drumsticks, beating the ground heavily.
Gradually, the horse's legs moved wider, and the horse's legs seemed to become more dense.
The Huns' panicked shouts rang out on the battlefield.
The light cavalry rushed forward tragically, trying to stop them, but they were quickly taken away by the Jie people's light cavalry who rushed at the front.
The road is open.
The armored rider is getting faster and faster.
"Great wind!" Duan Liang raised his horse's pole high and shouted.
"Great wind!" the armored cavalry responded in unison.
As expected, the wind picked up and blew the flags, making the Huns unable to open their eyes.
Everyone lowered their veils, leaving only their three orifices exposed.
The horses were clad in iron armor, and the men were clad in heavy armor, with tiger patterns painted on them. The great spear was raised diagonally forward. One thousand and five hundred armored cavalry were like a torrent of silver, bypassing the flanks and rushing diagonally into the left wing of the Hun infantry.
.
Shixian's morale was greatly boosted, and he called on his fellow soldiers to step forward bravely and disperse the last group of Huns' forbidden soldiers.
In front are armored cavalry high up.
They charged straight in with overwhelming force, crushing the old and weak soldiers behind the Xiongnu's left wing like a rotten tree.
They were very brave. Even if the speed of their horses was forced to slow down, they still waved their long spears and picked, stabbed, knocked and swept from a high position.
There was an armored knight who unfortunately tripped. When he was in danger, the knight struggled to adjust his direction and flew sideways, knocking down a large number of Hun infantry.
More people followed the gap that opened up, drove the old and weak Xiongnu soldiers away, and then rushed straight to the side and rear of the Xiongnu central army.
There were also old and weak soldiers there. When they saw the steel giant that looked like a ghost and a ferocious beast, they were so frightened that they trembled, as if they were reminded of the fear of being dominated by Tuoba Xianbei's armored cavalry many years ago.
Without any suspense, they were dashed through.
Youzhou Tuqidu was like a sharp knife, tearing apart the Xiongnu's left wing and center at an angle, and even tended to break through the center and go behind the Xiongnu's right wing.
****
"It's done!" Hou Feihu's expression remained calm and he only softly uttered two words.
But the civil servants, generals, soldiers, and generals surrounding him turned red in the face and were ecstatic.
This is a defeat for Liu Cong!
He also defeated 6,000 Xiongnu imperial troops!
Twenty years after the war broke out, General Hou was the first to do it.
Hou Feihu took in everyone's expressions and said nothing. He just looked at the battlefield quietly and made silent calculations.
The left wing of the Huns has completely collapsed.
The government soldiers killed four thousand Xiongnu infantry and fled. Under the orders of the officers, they slowly gathered their formation, then collectively turned to the left, armed with spears and swords, and marched into the wall into the chaos of the Xiongnu.
Kill the army from the flank.
The Huns' central army was already struggling to resist from the front, but their flanks were suddenly rushed by armored cavalry, and they were already in a state of retreat.
The soldiers moved forward quickly and fired at close range with their rifle bows, causing the enemy troops to fall in pieces. Then with a shout, they charged forward and cooperated with the black army in front of them, knocking out the six thousand infantry of the Huns' central army.
Killed and left corpses everywhere.
"Failed!" Liu Cong's expression was extremely gloomy, and he seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end he only spit out these two words from his throat.
The left wing suffered all casualties, the central army began to collapse, and the right wing still survived, but what could be done?
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty……"
All the ministers looked at Liu Cong.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops and returns to camp to defend." Liu Cong closed his eyes and gave the order.
The sound of a trumpet sounded soon, which was a signal to retreat.
Liu Cong and his ministers, escorted by the guards, rushed into the camp in a hurry.
There were only about 7,000 old and weak soldiers in the camp. Seeing that our side was defeated, the emperor ran back, and everyone's face turned ashen.
Countless defeated soldiers rushed back crying and shouting.
Can the fortress really be defended in this posture?
Obviously impossible!
After defeating the Xiongnu army in the field, Hou Feihu immediately issued a series of adjustment orders.
Simple attack equipment was mobilized, and the camps attacked from three directions: east, north, and south.
When the battle reached nightfall, the Huns were defeated again. Liu Cong and his ministers fled westward in a hurry, heading towards Jie County.
A battle just ended in Jie County.
Liu Can led more than 10,000 Kansai legions and Pujin Pass defenders to repulse the attack launched by Yang Hui, the governor of the Longxiang shogunate, beheading more than a thousand people.
After learning that the Emperor was defeated in the Battle of Wenxi, he was shocked and immediately stepped forward to respond.
