Chapter 971: Being plotted from beginning to end
"Sir, the seat of Gaoliu County is a hundred miles ahead."
"Our scouts haven't sent any more news now, which is a bit strange."
The vanguard general Tie Lang, who was thirty miles ahead of the army, reported to Murong Feng who had just arrived.
He is one of the leaders of the Wolf Tribe. Like the famous Tiger Tribe in the grassland, they are both major tribes of the Xianbei Tribe. In the territory of the three Xianbei Tribes, both the Wolf Tribe and the Tiger Tribe are distributed.
"Something's not right!"
Murong Feng said vigilantly, "This is a special situation now. I have already explained that the scouts exploring the road ahead must report the timely situation every hour."
"The Han army behind us is chasing us too closely. They are less than a hundred miles away from us. If they speed up, they will be able to catch up with us in less than half an hour!"
He is now a bit out of his depth and has lost his sense of proportion.
There is no way around it.
After the Han army won two major victories in a row, they obtained a large number of top-quality war horses and beasts, and the entire army became one man and two horses.
After our own side failed twice in a row, almost all of them fled in panic. Only less than 10% of the soldiers still maintained the equipment of one man and two horses.
The rest of the soldiers were all riding alone. When they were traveling far away, they could not match the speed of the Han army.
Therefore, in the past two months that the opponent has been chasing here, the distance has become closer and closer, and the remaining Xianbei army has not been given any chance to rest and recuperate.
During this period, in order to buy time for the large group of troops, Murong Feng even personally led the elite troops to fight several battles with the opponent's vanguard army.
Who would have thought that the vanguard of the Han army would be led in pursuit by the strongest generals in their army?
Moreover, several vanguards of the Han army were equipped with a strong crossbow team of 10,000 people. As soon as the battle started, no matter what, they just greeted them with a long shot of strong crossbows, without any regard for martial ethics!
The result of this battle was of no use at all, except for the bodies of the barbarians left on the ground.
There is no way to defeat the opponent.
Neither generals nor tribal warriors are opponents.
If you can't beat him, you can only continue to flee north as hard as you can!
Now if Gaoliu County and the Great Wall Pass were captured by the Han army, the situation would become extremely bad.
Our side is no longer qualified to fight a last-ditch battle, but will instead be attacked from both sides.
"Send the order, the army will speed up!"
Murong Feng ordered with a gloomy face.
I hope that things are not as bad as I thought, and that the scouts who came out just had an accident.
If Gaoliu County is really captured by the Han army, they can only divide their troops into two groups, attack the county town along the way, and form formations to face the closely pursuing Han army.
Now he still has 1.5 million elite soldiers and generals under his command. When he is cornered, he is not without the power to fight the Han army.
There are so many soldiers in our own army that it is impossible to brave the mountains and ridges to break through.
There are many dangers in those tall mountains. Who knows if this method of escape is adopted, will only 10% of the soldiers who can safely cross the Great Wall be left?
It is even possible that the entire army will be annihilated. Even some lucky ones will still have to face the pursuit of the Han army after crossing the mountains.
Judging from the opponent's posture, he is definitely determined to fight to the death.
About a quarter of an hour later, the remnants of the western Xianbei army, which was running fast, arrived in front of Gaoliu County.
I saw that the county town was surrounded by a large formation.
This large formation, which covers an area of one million acres, not only covers the entire small county town, but also covers the only road outside the city that connects the north and south.
In the sky above this great formation, there was a light shield shining with colorful streams of light, which both Murong Feng and Zhi Qianluoluo were familiar with.
Because the Han army that had confronted them in Yanmen County and Wuzhou City had all used this similar formation.
And they even knew that this was a top-quality four-star formation.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for our own side to break through it. Even if it takes a year and a half, it is probably not enough.
"Fell into the trap again."
Murong Feng felt that his always proud IQ had been completely crushed by the enemy's army commander, and he said dejectedly, "Zhi Qianluo Luo, order the soldiers to form an array."
"Now we have been carefully planned by the Han army and have fallen into their trap. There is no way out."
"However, although the Han army is strong, it is not so easy to swallow us up!"
He said this, but in fact he knew very well in his heart that his soldiers were doomed this time.
If the Han army didn't have that ridiculously powerful crossbow team, the two sides could have fought.
If the other side wants to kill its own army, it has to pay a heavy price. After all, the strength of the two sides is very close, and there is not much difference.
But with the crossbow team, both sides would lose half of them before they even started close combat!
In any era, there is no army that has not been destroyed when half of its own side has been destroyed while the enemy is unscathed.
The light in his eyes flickered, as if he had made some decision, but he did not say it out loud.
"Okay! If the Han army wants to eat us, they must pay a heavy price! It depends on whether they are willing to die so many people!"
Zhi Qian Luo Luo is a fierce general, and once he becomes ruthless, he is also very fierce.
Following the orders given by Murong Feng and Zhi Qianluoluo, the Hu soldiers began to quickly form formations, and fierce murderous auras shot up into the sky, even the clouds in the sky were shaken away.
Before they all finished forming up, there were waves of tremors on the ground, and groups of elite cavalry of the Han army in black clothes and black armor came charging neatly!
These Han troops, one man and two horses, seemed to have been ready for battle.
Taking divisions as units, they lined up neatly in twenty-four military formations. They didn't stop for a moment, didn't even say hello, and just charged in so arrogantly!
"wind!"……
"Strong wind!"......
The three divisions at the front, each armed with a powerful crossbow weapon, were standing motionless on horseback, lined up in a line!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The whole army fires in volley!"
Cao Xing, who took the lead, waved his hand expressionlessly and shouted orders.
“Buzz!”…
"Woooo..."
For the soldiers of this strong crossbow team who are at least two-star peak cultivation level, riding and shooting is very simple and easy, just like launching an attack while standing on the ground, there is no difficulty at all.
After experiencing hundreds of bloody battles with the Southern Huns and barbarians, cavalry and archery even became the instinct of the soldiers, and it was one of the most proficient skills.
After the soldiers reached the appropriate firing range of 1,500 feet, the first salvo began.
The colorful mana arrows that fill the sky are amplified by the three-star crossbow weapon, and their power exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.
The moment a hundred thousand colorful arrows were fired, the sky in front of them was almost completely covered!
These arrows were like a violent storm. As soon as they were shot, like lightning, they arrived at the front line of the Hu people, shooting the horrified Hu people to death, even flying or even exploding them.
!
While the soldiers were shooting, the sitting war horses and beasts were still galloping steadily and uniformly towards the enemy formation, with a very frightening momentum.
"wind!"
"Strong wind!"......
The first wave of attacks has just been launched, and the second wave of attacks has started again!
Then came the third wave, the fourth wave...
Almost every breath, this crossbow team will launch a wave of covering shots!
The arrow rain formed by the colorful magic power shone so brilliantly that it even covered up the sunlight in the sky, making it dazzling.
"ah!"
"I can't stop it! My magic weapon was shot away!"
"It's over! We're done!"...
As waves of arrows were fired, large numbers of Hu soldiers were killed. The Hu soldiers' military formations were cleared out in patches, leaving only some who lost their masters and were frightened.
The jumping spirit beasts and war horses are whining endlessly!
Murong Feng's prediction was correct. This kind of unreasonable and powerful crossbow weapon shot was not something that we could resist.
Moreover, because the Han army arrived so quickly, we had not even set up a battle formation to meet the enemy, so we had no ability to resist at all.
If you have enough time to set up a military killing formation, you can also use the magical power of the battle formation to withstand several waves of concentrated fire attacks from the powerful crossbows of the Han army, greatly reducing your own losses.
It's a pity that the Han army seemed to have planned every aspect, even the time and sequence of launching the attack. They didn't give the Hu people any time to react!
It can be said that in this series of battles with the Han army, Murong Feng's IQ was completely crushed and he was truly defeated.
The main reason is that the various tactics of Wang Qiang's army are completely different from those of the previous Han army.
The various attack modes and combat routines are rare innovations in the past dynasties. They do not follow the previous army battle patterns at all, and they have been extremely skilled in hundreds of bloody battles with the Southern Huns.
Moreover, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty nearly 20,000 years ago, the battles between the Hu people and the Han army were basically offensive and defensive battles. There were almost no large-scale field battles. Where did they get the battle experience?
Even during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the several campaigns in the Northern Expedition against the Hu people were just small-scale raids, and there were no large-scale frontal battles with the Hu people.
