Gao Ao and the others were right. The Wuhuan people on the opposite side really used cavalry to charge.
In such a narrow ravine, these Wuhuan people frantically tried to hit it with their cavalry.
But these Wuhuan people succeeded because their superb equestrian skills really allowed them to rush into the ravine.
But they failed.
The reason for the failure turned out to be the parapet formed by the piles of corpses.
These Wuhuan people were thrown out by the parapet and broke their necks. They didn't even think about it until they died:
"Why is there a parapet here? Why didn't anyone tell us?"
Yes, those who can speak do not know, and those who know are all lying here.
So when Gao Ao turned around and looked back, he saw such a bloody scene.
The Wuhuan knights who kept charging into the ravine were blocked by the parapet of corpses and fell to their backs. The corpses were also mutilated with blood due to the high impact, and all kinds of broken limbs were scattered all over the ground.
But seeing such a human tragedy, Gao Ao was not infected at all, but instead wanted to laugh a little.
Although the Wuhuan people had started but failed, Gao Ao was not going to let it go.
He ordered loudly:
"Everyone, please stop and march forward with me."
At this time, the ravine was already filled with wailing and noise, with all kinds of cries and curses coming and going.
From Gao Ao's position, he could still see Wuhuan knights running wildly outside the ditch. However, when he got closer, he found that the ravine in front was already crowded, and he could only yell at them outside the ditch.
Gao Ao no longer cared about this, and raised the iron bone flower and threw it at the Wuhuan people who were wailing on the ground.
Beside him were the same two iron-faced figures, which belonged to the brothers who lined up with him.
After several screams, the three Wuhuan knights were beaten to pieces.
The Wuhuan man lying behind them crawled back like an epileptic fit like water splashing on a frying pan.
But unfortunately, where did these Wuhuan people who broke their legs escape?
After being overtaken by Gao Ao and others, it was over in a few strokes.
Some Wuhuan people who were pinned down by their beloved horses had no hope of even climbing, and could only be hacked to death by the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army who came from behind.
This time when the Wuhuan people charged, the most miserable thing was the more than 20 riders at the front. They either broke their necks or broke their legs and were pinned under the horses.
But because some Wuhuan people behind had enough reaction time, most of them jumped off their horses or restrained their horses.
At this moment, they watched the tribal brothers in front of them being slaughtered by the Han people, and the anger in their hearts overwhelmed their fear.
One of the tribal commanders was so angry that he jumped out from the end of the team and slashed at a soldier next to Gao Ao.
But when it comes to riding and shooting skills, these Wuhuan marshals may be at the top, but when it comes to sword fighting, they don't have as much practice as these Taishan Army soldiers.
Therefore, even though the Wuhuan commander had enough strength and courage, the blow was still blocked by the soldier beside Gao Ao. Not only that, the soldier also directly struck back with his backhand.
Wuhuan was unprepared and was hit directly in the face by the blade. He cried out and fell to the ground.
However, the warriors behind him were loyal enough to pull their master back with several swords.
After another round of killing, Gao Ao and others were exhausted and began to rotate to the rear.
But even though the Taishan Army on the opposite side had no time to rotate, the dozens of Wuhuan people in the ditch still did not dare to rush forward.
It's really impossible to fight.
Thinking of this, these Wuhuan people felt aggrieved.
These despicable Han people are hiding in the ravines like mice. They can only go down into the mountains. But no matter how proud they are, they also understand that they and others are using their own shortcomings to compete with the strengths of the Han people.
In terms of bows and horses, these Wuhuan people didn't pay attention to the Han people at all. But in this narrow place, they couldn't stand the fighting in just an inch.
They don't lack courage, but they lack armor and fighting skills.
The Taishan troops on the opposite side were obviously just cavalry, but I don't know why they still had such strong combat effectiveness after dismounting.
Not only do they have excellent armor and weapons, but they are also extremely skilled in swordsmanship. Often only two Wuhuan people can withstand one person from the Taishan army.
It turned out that the Wuhuan people also discovered this problem, so they asked Su Shen Zahu, who was good at foot combat, to step forward and attack him.
But the results came out. These people did not have armor or iron swords. No matter how brave they were, their battle results were not even as good as those of the Wuhuan people.
But even so, the Wuhuan people would not give these servant tribes armor.
Both parties were a little exhausted, and began to gasp for breath at each other, with fierce eyes that refused to give way.
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, loud shouts suddenly came from behind the ravine:
"Everyone get down."
Gao Ao's right detachment had already withdrawn to the rear, leaving only Gao Ao himself and more than 20 people still stuck here.
After hearing the familiar voice behind them, Gao Ao and others lay down on the ground in tacit understanding.
Then there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a short spear suddenly flew over the heads of Gao Ao and others, and was thrown towards the leader of the Wuhuan people on the opposite side.
As a leader, his martial arts skills naturally need no introduction.
Suddenly a short spear was thrown at him, but the man still tried his best to block it. He used his iron sword to block the short spear thrown from the opposite side.
This fierce blow from Pei Ran directly tore the man's jaw open.
But before the man could rejoice, another short spear was thrown at him, and this time he had no ability to block. The short spear penetrated through his abdomen, pinning him to the ground.
He was not dead for a while, and he was lucky enough to see the fate of his companions.
Dozens of short spears were thrown from the Han formation on the opposite side, and then they all covered the Wuhuan people in this valley.
Screams rang out from the Wuhuan people. They didn't expect that the Han people on the opposite side were such dogs and wanted to throw short spears from this position.
The worst thing was that Wuhuan Xiaoshuai, who had been involved in the battle earlier, had been slashed in the face. As soon as he woke up from a coma, he was in severe pain again.
Then he saw a short spear being inserted into his abdomen, or inserted diagonally, and then emerged from his anus and intestines. All kinds of feces and urine seeped down along the spear tip, and the smell was extremely fishy.
Wuhuan Xiaoshuai, knowing that he was about to die, glanced at the tribal warriors around him with a sad smile, then stared at the Han people opposite him with hatred, and finally pulled out his meat cleaver and killed himself.
In this way, a fierce fight in the ditch was ended by this wave of short spears.
After Xu Huang brought reinforcements to help Gao Ao's tribe clear out the remnants of the Wuhuan army in the ditch, the Wuhuan people did not organize the next wave of attacks for a long time.
Obviously, they also knew that a frontal attack would not achieve much results other than increasing casualties.
But in fact, the fact that the Wuhuan people stopped attacking was closely related to the fact that the commanders began to question Taton's decision-making.
The Wuhuan people are a tribal alliance, and the so-called Chanyus are just larger tribes. Even Taton must refer to the ideas of other marshals.
But now such a brutal mountain attack frightened these Wuhuan commanders.
That mountain was like the vicious mouth of a giant beast, constantly devouring the lives of the warriors. No matter how many people they sent up, they would never return.
Not to mention those bastards in the north are not dead, even these people are the wealth of these handsome men.
Until now, these handsome men have not received any spoils, but they are constantly consuming their strength. How can these people accept this?
And Taton also understood this. He knew that these people were frightened by the high intensity of the fighting.
Disputes in the grasslands are much more frequent than in the Central Plains, but the intensity of the wars is far less than in the Central Plains.
Because of the high-speed maneuverability of the cavalry, these barbarians have little awareness of positional warfare. Their tactics are to rush forward in a rapid manner and retreat thousands of miles in the opposite direction.
Therefore, they have never fought a war of this intensity, and they do not want to fight it.
It was precisely because everyone in Wuhuan had such an idea that even Taton could only accept it and had no choice but to switch from taking the initiative to attack to besieging the mountain.
But in Taton's heart, he felt uneasy:
"Don't these Han people have reinforcements?"
…
It's an unknown number of miles northwest of Longshan.
Li Hu, the leader of the Feilong Army, was galloping on the western Liaohe plain with a thousand cavalry.
The road they are taking now is said to be the passage through which the Xianbei people entered western Liaoning in the past. From here, they can enter Liucheng directly from the northwest.
Yesterday, when Cheng Pu found Li Hu again with the latest royal orders, Li Hu was entertaining an important guest.
His name is Yuwen Black Tiger, and he is the leader of the nearby Yuwen tribe.
The Yuwen tribe was not an ethnic group native to the land of pine desert. It originally came from the Southern Xiongnu in the Yinshan Mountains. After the Southern Xiongnu annexed them, this tribe stayed in the Yinshan Mountains and later belonged to Xianbei. After that, they continued to migrate eastward, and finally arrived in
Grazing began in the Song Desert area.
When Li Hu came with the Feilong Army, he was quickly attacked by the local Ministry of Culture and Culture.
They regarded these Han people as enemy bandits and constantly harassed the Feilong Army's garrison. However, in several attacks, the Yuwen tribe was defeated one after another.
Especially when they saw the Han warrior named Zhao Yun, who could kill three eagles with one arrow, they all shouted "Mighty God".
After that, the Yuwen tribe completely gave up resistance. Under the leadership of their leader, Yuwen Heihu, they presented white fox fur and horses to Li Hu as a sign of respect.
So when Cheng Pu came with the latest king's orders, he didn't know that right at this moment, Li Hu had already conquered a tribe.
After seeing the latest king's order, Li Hu also fell into trouble.
The king asked him to lead his troops south to get closer to him, but the problem is that he is already far away from the king. If Dogma obeys the order, not to mention whether the rescue of Xu Huang can be completed, even the king may not be able to catch up.
Yuwen Heihu, who was also in the tent, was ecstatic when he learned that these Han people were going out to attack the Wuhuan people.
He took the initiative to tell Li Hu, Zhao Yun, Cheng Pu and others that they had a direct passage into Liucheng, and they could reach there by riding a horse for hundreds of miles.
Seeing that Li Hu and Cheng Pu were silent, Yuwen Heihu, who knew a little Chinese, said:
"Don't worry, gentlemen, our Yuwen Department has a three-generation feud with those Wuhuan people!"
It turns out that since the Yuwen tribe moved to Songmo, they had conflicts with the Wuhuan people here. Three generations of chiefs died in the war with the Wuhuan people.
Now that they learned that they could attack the Wuhuan people, these Yuwen tribesmen were willing to bring tribal warriors to join the Han people and conquer the Wuhuan people together.
Finally, Li Hu, Zhao Yun and Cheng Pu discussed it and decided to take a gamble.
In this way, more than a thousand Tuqi first passed through the small plain of Liao River in the west, and then marched hard towards Liucheng along the mountain road.
