Chapter 464 Sparrow War
Chapter 464: Sparrow Battle
The grass is green and the sky is blue. The endless grassland echoes the blue sky that is also invisible. It forms a vast wonder of heaven and earth.
Between this world, a group of people galloped. Although it seems so small compared to this vast world, it cannot ignore this group of people even at a high altitude, which shows that the number of people is huge.
Yes, this group of people was preparing to destroy Tianma City and attack the Xiongnu soldiers and horses that attacked Bingzhou. They walked forward with the momentum of destroying everything. Even the white clouds in the sky would be shattered by the sound of the majestic horse hooves.
At this time, the Xiongnu people were less than two hundred miles away from Tianma City. That is, the cavalry was more than a day away. All the Xiongnu soldiers were excited about being able to plunder on a large scale. They were all fighting spirits. At this time, the army commander, Hou Cheshan, the right bone man under the tent of the Left Xian King of the Southern Xiongnu, was also extremely excited. In addition to being able to plunder in the prosperous Central Plains, Cheshan was also due to his infinite fighting spirit.
The Southern Xiongnu dominated the Western Regions and had never had any opponents. Even the great man who had defeated the Xiongnu had already been decadent over the years. Even Dong Zhuo, the dominant Liangzhou, had to look up to the Southern Xiongnu. If Dong Zhuo had not had a close relationship with Zuo Xianwang, he would have destroyed Dong Zhuo's long-term troops. Wouldn't he be able to rob him at will than Dong Zhuo's offerings?
As the third-person figure of the Southern Xiongnu, Che Shan, who is in charge of the fight between soldiers and horses, has always been arrogant and looked down upon by no one.
As for Dong Zhuo’s blessing, Liu Ming is a person of the Central Plains that Che Shan can remember. Che Shan had long wanted to meet Liu Ming. See how great this Liu Ming, who could scare Dong Zhuo like that, is. What is the benefit of seeing this world’s No. 1 army.
Of course, Che Shan’s look and insight were definitely not what Che Shan recognized Liu Ming and wanted to come here to study and observe. Instead, it was to destroy everything about Liu Ming to prove that the soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu were truly invincible, and Che Shan was the truly invincible commander.
At this time, a cry of eagle was heard above the blue sky, which attracted Che Shan's attention. It was the Southern Xiongnu's alert falcon calling the police. There must be soldiers and horses approaching here.
Sure enough, shortly after the eagle cried, a horse came to report: "Report the Marquis of Gudu. There are 10,000 enemy soldiers in front of the left, and they are quickly rushing towards our army!"
Che Shan was a little surprised: There were only ten thousand soldiers, why did you come here to run? Can you die?
The news of the horse exploration was very fast. However, just after the horse exploration was finished, before Che Shan could figure it out, there was already a riot in front of the left side of the army.
Immediately afterwards, the second explorer hurriedly ran over to report: "The enemy army is 10,000, and the horse is coming. He raided our troops with bows and arrows, and then left. Please ask the Marquis of Gudu to decide!"
Che Shan's heart moved and ordered: "This is the enemy's troops that harassed our army's advance. Since they have run away, there is no need to pay attention." Then Che Shan ordered: "Borkampingzhang obeys the order!"
"Here!" A general next to Che Shan hurriedly rode his horse out and responded.
"The Han people are cunning. They will harass our army's journey. In a short while, they will inevitably return. You can lead 20,000 troops, protect the wings on the left side of the army, and wait for the Han army to come and drive them out. If they retreat, they cannot pursue them for more than ten miles."
"Abide by the order!" Borkan immediately took the order and left.
The Che Shan immediately ordered again, "Well, please listen to the order!"
"Here!" Another general with a fierce face jumped out to respond.
"I ordered you to lead 20,000 troops to defend the right side of the army. If a Han army comes to harass him, expel him. If he retreats, he should not pursue him for more than ten miles."
"Abide by the order! Huh, the army also led.
Che Shan had just been arranged here. Sure enough, there were also Youzhou troops coming quickly from the right front of the troops.
Before the Had troops were in place, the Youzhou team had already shot and shot down more than a thousand cavalry of Hun soldiers and horses, and began to retreat again. This made the Hun soldiers in the front army extremely angry. These Han people ran over and shot arrows and left. What is this? And they just left one group after another. If you have the ability, you have to fight in everything.
But these are not counting. What makes these Hun soldiers most angry is that cavalry and shooting has always been the strength of the Huns. If the Huns recognize the second, no one will dare to recognize the first one. But now, it would be fine if the two groups of Han soldiers, cavalry and bow skills are not inferior to them. But the range of their bows and arrows is actually much farther than their own, which makes them unable to get the shots. And they cannot leave the troops without military orders and pursue them without authorization, which makes them even more angry.
Hunaha looked at this scene, and he was also angry. He had a military order in his hand and immediately ordered a pursuit.
Twenty thousand Hun cavalry and twenty thousand angry Hun soldiers each urged their horses to chase after them. The horse speed of the Huns has always been the only one. This is like the defense of the Han people and the crossbows, which is also the capital for the Huns to survive and traverse.
However, what made these Huns unforgettable was that the speed of the troops in front was beyond their reach. Moreover, those people were still able to turn around and use bows and arrows to block them. During the pursuit, more than a thousand soldiers died.
These Hun soldiers would definitely die with their eyes open. They didn't know that the war horses used by Liu Ming's cavalry were definitely the best war horses on the grassland. Although the war horses in the Southern Xiongnu were not inferior to Liu Ming's military horse quality, the war horses they rode by were not of that level.
Seeing that the Han army was about to run out of the ten-mile range of Che Shan’s order, Hu Nacha Ha was anxious, and in his half-baked Central Plains speech, he shouted loudly: "The timid Hangou is a hero, come back and fight to the death with me!"
As Hunahad said, the Youzhou army running away in front was indeed unable to bear the insults. A general rushed back and shouted: "Hu Man who is not aware of his life and death! Ma Mengqi of Xiliang, take your dog's life!"
Ma Mengqi? Didn’t Cao Cao kill him? Why did he come here? Hu Na Chuha a little confused. After all, Ma Mengqi is still very famous in Xiliang. Hu Na Chuha if he knew that the leader in front was Ma Mengqi, he would never dare to challenge him.
However, on the battlefield, there was so much thought! Ma Chao rushed back quickly, and then he chased after him again. Before he could figure out why, the two of them were almost caught. Ma Chao raised his shot, as fast as lightning. Hunacha Ha was snatched by him. He had no time to react and was stabbed to death by Ma Chao.
When Hunacha died, the Hun cavalry that was chasing was in chaos at that time. All the Hun cavalry could not understand. He was so fierce that he just called Hunacha, why did he die so easily?
Before these Huns could figure it out, the Youzhou cavalry who rushed back with Ma Chao had already raised the crossbow and fired a fatal arrow. In addition to being difficult to load, the range and power of the crossbows were definitely the largest among the crossbow arrows used by individual soldiers today. The dense row of shooting immediately made the front row chasing Hun cavalry fall down forever.
Immediately afterwards, the second row of Youzhou cavalry rushed out from the space of the previous row of cavalry, and with the transition of formation, the second row shot was released, and the Huns were once again baptized. The Huns had not yet understood how the front row of soldiers died, and the Huns were baptized by the second round of crossbows. Another group of Hun soldiers died with their eyes closed.
After two baptisms of crossbow arrows, the Xiongnu cavalry, whose formation was no longer the same, immediately ushered in a rapid assault from the Youzhou cavalry. The two strikes of crossbow arrows were enough for the two cavalry troops to collide together.
Ma Chao took the lead in breaking into the enemy army and shouted loudly: "Ma Mengqi of Xiliang is here! Those who block me will die!"
With Ma Chao's sudden shout, Ma Chao's spear danced like a flying. The Hun soldiers within two feet of Ma Chao fell down instantly, either with a hole on their foreheads or a gun hole in their throats.
Following Ma Chao's pace, the assault of the Youzhou cavalry was like a sharp blade, killing the Huns' pursuit troops into two halves.
The Hun soldiers and horses without the command of the commander of the general were in chaos at that time. In an instant, the originally aggressive Xiongnu pursuers became the fleeing party. However, what made them more gratified was that they saw clearly the appearance of the people who killed them. Which of the evil Xianbei people were, not the Han people. This time they were not defeated by riding skills, and their bow skills were far inferior to their Han people, but by the Xianbei people who were comparable to their riding and shooting. It is not surprising that these non-elite troops were defeated by the elite Xianbei troops.
But what they didn't know was that the Xianbei army they believed was actually the troops collected by Liu Ming from the Xianbei people who surrendered him. Whether they were originally Xianbei people or not, they are now commonly known as the Korqin people. It is a sharp blade in Liu Ming's hand.
The troops chasing Ma Chao's troops were less than 4,000 when they fled back. This was the result of Ma Chao's resignation when he saw the opportunity and did not pursue him to the end.
While Ma Chao destroyed the 20,000 pursuers, Che Shan sent out the troops to guard the left wing and also met an opponent. As soon as Borkan arrived, a Youzhou army rushed up. Borkan took the initiative to launch an attack without waiting for the Youzhou army to advance.
The Youzhou army and horses were very happy. Borkan led a 20,000 army and rushed forward. The Youzhou army and horses could not even meet each other and retreated immediately.
Like Hunachaha, Borkan also urged the army and pursued all his strength. Hunachaha's pursuit of Ma Chao also began to stage. In the pursuit, Borkan not only did not gain any advantage, but was shot to death by the army and horses in Youzhou.
However, after reaching the ten-mile cordon, Borkan was different from Hunachaha. Although Borkan was also extremely angry, Borkan kept in mind Che Shan's military order and was afraid of being attacked by the opponent's plan to lure the enemy, so he stopped the army and stopped the pursuit. Anyway, the purpose of expelling the opponent has been achieved, as long as it does not hinder the army's progress, it is enough.
However, Borkan stopped chasing. After running for a while, the Youzhou army came back in anger. They shot from afar away from the Bolkand army. This was really bullying. As the saying goes: It’s easy to be a turtle, and it’s uncomfortable.
When Borkan saw the casualties of the troops, how could he not be popular? Since the troops on the opposite side stopped running and came back, Borkan would naturally command the troops to attack. But with the attack of Borkande's troops, those Youzhou troops would turn around and run away.
It was so annoying! At this time, Borkan was also confused and was chasing him closely. However, after chasing for another period, Borkan understood and stopped chasing again, preparing to go back. However, when the army in Youzhou in front saw that Borkan was not chasing him. They were back again, hanging the Bolkan troops and shooting with arrows.
This made Borkan so angry that he didn't know what to say. The other party's bow and arrow range was so long that it was too bullying. Borkan was so fierce that he chased after him again. In this way, he chased and stopped. Soon, Borkan chased him for thirty miles.
At this time, an eagle cries in the sky. Borkan was shocked at that time. It was not good! He was trapped. There was an ambush. Borkan shouted without saying a word: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! The entire army retreated, there was an ambush!"
Just as Borkan was shouting, a carved feather flew across the sky and shot the reconnaissance eagle with one arrow. At the same time, a cavalry rushed over to the left of Borkan's troops like lightning, with dense crossbow arrows hitting the left side of Borkan's troops in the middle. At this time, the Youzhou troops that Borkan was pursuing also cooperated to kill him and attacked Borkan's troops in two lines.
Borkan desperately blocked the Youzhou army and cut off his troops. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Borkan is here! Who dares to fight to the death with me!" He tried to reverse the defeat by fighting the opponent's general.
I have to say that this is an era of heroes. If you shout, you will deserve it. Just as if you sell, you will buy it. Borkan just finished shouting, and immediately a man in the chaos shouted, "Youzhou Pangde, come and meet you." After the words fell, Pangde had already urged the horse to swing his sword and kill him.
If Borkan dares to shout a one-on-one challenge, his martial arts are good. But Pond's kung fu is not simple. At this time, Borkan was in a defeat and was panicked. But Pond was about to win and had a high morale. When the two met, after three or five rounds, the unfortunate Borkan was killed by Pond.
Subsequently, the soldiers brought by Borkan were also killed and captured by the soldiers surrounded by Youzhou. All of them were eliminated.
Yuwen Hu, who was leading the ambush, said to Pang De happily: "General Pang, our military advisor's sparrow tactics is really nothing to say!"
Ponde also responded with a laugh.
Chapter completed!
