Chapter 412: Icebreaker Battle
The barbarian general Donar relied on the strong troops in his hands, so he naturally did not take a small camp into his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not cost-effective to attack such a small village, they would have directly demolished all the Han camps along the way.
Now that it was confirmed that the Han cavalry was in the Han camp, how could they let it go?
"My dear men, sleeping in the open air these days is really suffocating the men!"
"Today, if we take down this Han camp, you can eat the meat and use the women!"
"Follow me and kill him until the sky is dark and the earth is dark!"
The leading barbarian general Donar said loudly to his men.
Stimulated by this reward, these barbarian cavalry roared one by one and charged towards the camp.
At this time, the movements of these barbarians had fallen under the noses of Li Dingguo and others.
After these barbarians fell into the trap, the villagers who had already been ambushing on one side pushed out the shield carts they had arranged.
During this period, the villagers used a hundred thousand firepower in order to build a shield car that could trap the barbarian cavalry.
In addition to the shield chariots, there were also many traps covered by heavy snow, which became the death places for the barbarian cavalry.
The Han cavalry also knew where traps were laid, so they would not easily step into the traps.
Those village soldiers and villagers had seen the brutality of the barbarians, and they also knew that they were tied to Huang Tinghui, Li Dingguo and others.
Although they have not experienced any war, they work very hard when they know that their situation is safe.
In order to prevent these villagers and soldiers from collapsing at the first touch, Li Dingguo even sent three to four hundred veterans to mix among them, which to a certain extent improved the resilience of the army composed of villagers and villagers.
"Damn it!"
"What the hell?"
"Back around, back around!!" The barbarian general Donar immediately commanded his men.
"These village soldiers are nothing more than a pile of loose sand. They will be defeated in a single battle with just one charge!"
"Go around and kill them all!!"
Under the command of the barbarian general Domur, some cavalry circled back and tried to break the defense line composed of village soldiers.
But what they didn't expect was that they would fall into the trap Li Dingguo set for them.
The Mongolian people's war horses fell into the pit with the people, and were directly pierced by the long thorns hidden in the trap.
The ground covered by white snow had no idea where the death trap was, and even the barbarian cavalry, who were born to be extremely ferocious, did not dare to go around and make a surprise attack for a while.
At the same time, the cavalry led by Li Dingguo further exerted pressure on the barbarian cavalry.
The bed crossbows were like skewers of candied haws, skewering the barbarian cavalry into a string.
The riding and shooting skills of this Han cavalry are not inferior to those of the barbarian cavalry.
In addition, these barbarian cavalry were like flying kites by Huang Tinghui. They had been wandering in the wilderness for many days and were already exhausted.
One goes down and the other goes up!
In this case, the physical strength of the barbarian cavalry has been squeezed to the limit.
As for the Han cavalry, they were all very energetic.
With Li Dingguo and a few powerful soldiers around him as arrows, the Han cavalry's offensive was as easy and enjoyable as a hot blade cutting through butter.
Rout!
After the Han cavalry launched a charge, it broke out among the barbarian cavalry.
Those barbarian cavalry were no match for the Han cavalry.
Barbarian soldiers continued to fall off their horses. Even if they did not die on the spot, they were trampled to death by their horses.
The hungry barbarian cavalry chased the Han cavalry for several days in such bad weather.
Even if they are refined into steel, they will become soft at some point.
What's more, after all, these barbarian soldiers are just flesh and blood.
How can these flesh and blood bodies withstand the massacre from the cavalry of Dasheng Kingdom?
At this time, Donard, the barbarian general who was fighting hard, looked desperate.
There is an old saying on the grassland: You can't wet your shoes twice in the same river.
What Donal didn't expect was that he had learned from past mistakes.
The Han people repeated their old tricks and actually made him fall into the gutter again.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Whoosh whoosh..." The Han Chinese's repeating crossbow made a terrifying sound as it pierced through the air and penetrated directly into human flesh and blood.
In an instant, several barbarian cavalry were hit by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground with a groan.
These crossbow arrows have no feathers and cannot be used as normal arrows at all.
Therefore, the barbarian cavalry could only continue to consume their own arrows. After the arrows were used up, they could only wait to be shot round after round by Han crossbow arrows.
And they could only charge in the direction of the Han cavalry with the crossbow arrows like locusts.
"General!"
"Run!"
"Run!!" a barbarian soldier shouted at the top of his lungs.
If this continues, the Han people will be able to kill them here just with the crossbow arrows.
So they had no choice but to fight to the death and fight their way out.
There is no other choice.
Donard gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates, "Get out!"
"Surprise out toward the east!"
"They can't stop us!"
"My dear fellows, the Han people have a saying: A gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years!"
"Fight a bloody path and look for bad luck on these Han people in the future!"
As the commander of the barbarian cavalry, Donard roared.
He keenly discovered that due to the insufficient number of cavalry.
The strength of the Han cavalry deployed in the east was relatively weak.
Come to think of it, the Han people couldn't have set up traps on both sides.
Even if there is a trap, they have to make the decision of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to travel to the tiger mountains".
Under the leadership of Donard, the commander of the barbarian cavalry, the barbarian cavalry rushed towards the east one by one.
Perhaps they were intimidated by the strength of the barbarian cavalry, or perhaps the troops in the east were too weak.
In short, under the leadership of the barbarian general Donard, the barbarian soldiers rushed out of the encirclement.
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
The sound of horse hooves was chaotic, and the escaped barbarian cavalry rushed towards the lake.
Seeing that they had broken out of the encirclement, these barbarian soldiers and generals immediately became energetic.
"Boys!"
"Kill out, fight out!!"
"Fight all the way, these Chinese two-legged shrimps can't stop us!"
"Kill!"
Donard, the general of the barbarians, was so excited at this time that he did not notice that the Han soldiers in the distance did not pursue him.
They were just showing off their cold arrows, and there was even a look of pity in their eyes.
"wrong!!"
"No!!" Donard, the general of the barbarian cavalry, was keenly aware of the crisis. When he looked back, he saw that the cavalry of the Dasheng Kingdom only shot a few arrows in the distance as a show.
No more action!
Did they let themselves go so easily?
Donard felt extremely incredible and incomprehensible.
If he is the leader of this Han cavalry, he is the commander of this Han cavalry.
Then he will definitely pursue them and will not easily let go of these frightened cavalry.
Since this Han cavalry can bring so much trouble to the royal cavalry, their general will definitely not be a mediocre person who does nothing.
If so!
Isn't there only one possibility?
That means that the way you escape is not a way to survive at all!
It’s a dead end!
Is it a dead end that can bring disaster to the Han cavalry without paying any price?
Thinking of this, the barbarian cavalry general Donard shuddered. He looked at his lieutenant and asked, "Where is this place?"
"General!"
"This is a lake. The weather has been cold these days, and the lake is already covered with thick ice!"
"Our cavalry can escape through this thick ice!"
"Ice?"
At that moment, the pupils of the barbarian cavalry general Donard suddenly shrank.
His whole body was in bad shape.
"Ice!"
"No, it's ice!!" Donard, the barbarian cavalry general, shouted.
Then, only a crackling sound was heard.
Like a smooth mirror being shattered, many cracks appeared on the frozen lake surface.
The cracks split in all directions.
The broken ice was simply unable to bear the weight of these war horses.
War horses, barbarian soldiers...
One by one, like dumplings, they fell into the cold and biting lake water.
In such a cold weather, the barbarian soldiers who were unfamiliar with water fell into the lake.
The icy cold feeling simply penetrated into their souls.
"Save me, save me!!"
"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!"
"Oh my God, my God, please help me!"
"No, no!" These barbarian soldiers shouted hysterically, but the cold and biting lake water stripped their vitality from their bodies little by little.
At this time, Donard, a barbarian cavalry general, also fell into the lake.
He struggled desperately, struggled desperately...
But to no avail!
Until the lake water completely submerged him.
The remaining barbarian soldiers tried to struggle towards the shore, but the bitterly cold lake water squeezed out the last bit of their strength.
In the end, they sank to the bottom of the lake one by one.
The number of Mongol cavalry who came to encircle and suppress this Han cavalry was as high as three thousand.
They are all the elite fighting force of the Mongol people!
But in this battle alone, not one of the 3,000 elite warriors of the Mongol tribe escaped.
Even most of the soldiers and horses finally sank in the cold and biting lake water.
Looking at the slowly sinking barbarian soldiers and those war horses, Huang Tinghui said with emotion: "What a pity!"
"So many war horses!"
"These are all fine prairie horses!"
The Mongol war horses are not tall, but compared with other war horses, they have stronger endurance, so they can carry the Mongol cavalry in long-distance attacks.
It is precisely for this reason that if the Mongol people fight to the west.
It can completely sweep across the entire Western world like a hurricane.
However, the Mongol people covet the rich products of the Central Plains, and are not particularly interested in the Western world.
After all, in the current world, when it comes to wealth, the Central Plains Dynasty must be stronger.
"Just some war horses!"
"Let someone bring up some war horses later!"
"Just enough to give our soldiers an extra meal!"
"The best Mongol war horse meat is something you can't eat normally!"
"This battle consumes so much, why don't we replenish our physical strength?"
Li Dingguo was looking at those Mongol war horses, thinking that he could eat horse meat as an extra meal today.
Seeing the excitement on this guy's face, Huang Tinghui couldn't help but feel a dark streak in his head.
But this time, they really made things worse.
Three thousand elite Mongol people were wiped out. For the grassland people, this could be called a great defeat.
After all, when Kubi Cheng, the leader of the Mongolian tribe, became powerful, he only had more than 20,000 people under his command.
If we add in the Mongol cavalry that Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo killed sporadically before.
The number of Mongol cavalry who died in the hands of Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo alone was already seven to eight thousand.
The most terrifying thing is that after so many battles.
The Han cavalry lost no more than 200 soldiers.
The battle loss ratio was almost forty to one.
Anyone who sees this battle loss ratio will be frightened.
In particular, Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo faced the elite cavalry of the Mongol people.
