After hearing the brigade commander's order, the nine hundred soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward. When all this fell in the eyes of the second battalion behind them, the division commander Wu Hu looked at this scene and couldn't help but also burst out.
Swear words, "Fuck, infantry chasing cavalry, what kind of fun is this? Forget it, soldiers of the second battalion, keep in formation and advance slowly!"
Besides, Yu Guangjue suddenly counterattacked, and some of the Huns cavalry who were turning their horses were shocked.
The cavalry has always had the initiative over the infantry, and they have always been able to kill whoever they want. How can it be someone else's turn to hunt them down?
Precisely because I had never seen it before, I did not expect that when I saw Yu Guangjue and the others coming to kill them, they did not react hastily. They were chased by the infantry one by one, and then they chopped off the horse's legs, and stabbed people.
He was busy stabbing people for a while, and actually killed more than 300 Huns cavalry in a row.
Seeing that his side had only lost dozens of men, but had killed more than 300 people on the other side, Yu Guangjue burst out laughing when he saw the backs of the Hun cavalry escaping, and said, "Happy."
As soon as he finished shouting these words, he saw another Huns cavalry rushing from the opposite side. The number was at least two thousand. Yu Guangjue came behind and shouted, then turned around and ran away with everyone. Behind them, two thousand
The Huns cavalry also took out their bows and arrows, making it clear that they wanted to avenge their brothers.
"Commander Yu, retreat quickly." Fortunately, Wu Hu arrived with the soldiers of the second battalion and erected many iron shields.
Yu Guangjue quickly got behind Tie Dun with his long knife, and then he let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Wu Hu who was also hiding behind Tie Dun and said with a smile: "Sir, thank you for coming in time, otherwise
, Lao Yu’s body is about to become a hornet’s nest.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clanking sound, which was caused by bows and arrows hitting the iron shield.
"Stop talking nonsense, take the time to rest, there will be a bloody battle later. Well, the fight was good just now." Wu Hu's face changed from serious to smiling, and then a division commander and a brigade commander looked at each other and laughed.
Voices.
The Huns cavalry finished firing their bows and arrows, and they came to the front of the second battalion and began to attack the shield formation. It didn't take long before the two sides fought together again. Wu Hu and Yu Guangjue also rushed out from under the iron shield.
Take the lead and lead the soldiers to fight against the cavalry.
After all, cavalry is cavalry. Even if they are physically weak and tired, they have the power of war horses that cannot be compared with infantry. After a fierce battle, the 1,800-strong Chinese army suffered heavy losses.
Nearly half of them, nearly a thousand people, were dead. When it seemed that the formation could no longer be maintained, the third battalion rushed up and joined forces with them. Only then did they block the front of the Huns cavalry, forcing them to retreat.
Looking at the Huns' cavalry, there were two thousand when they came, but only about fifteen hundred when they returned. Two infantry for one cavalry, this wave of Chinese troops did not suffer.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots. The cavalry attacked the infantry twice and didn't even rush over. They all boast about their own valor. What's the point of keeping you here?" Qiao Xiong was furious.
At this time, every breath was so precious to him, and the Chinese army would appear behind him at any time, but now they actually had to waste it on a confrontation with some infantry. How could this not make him angry or get angry?
Facing the reprimands of the clan elders, all the generals bowed their heads and remained silent. After the battle until now, they were all tired and exhausted, and their combat power could not even reach 70% of their usual strength, especially the war horses, which had been riding all the way.
After running around, I even lost food and grass, my physical strength was even worse than before, and my strength was inevitably reduced by 20%.
With half of their usual strength, facing the Dahua Army infantry who dared to fight tooth and nail, it's no wonder they couldn't take advantage.
"You, I will give you five thousand cavalry this time. No matter what, you must rush over, kill all the infantry of the Chinese army in front of you, and fight a bloody path." Pointing at the general named Cen Duogu, Qiao Xiong said with gritted teeth.
.
Now he only had more than 8,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry at his disposal. This time, he brought out 5,000 cavalry, which was nearly half of his strength. It was obvious that he was ruthless.
"Please rest assured, elders, I will fight to the death to complete the mission." Ling Duogu clasped his fists. He also knew that if he delayed here any longer, the entire Qiao family might be ruined here. This was the time when they had to fight hard.
.
Ling Duogu got on his horse and led five thousand Huns cavalry. After shouting, they all moved forward and ran forward again.
"There are so many cavalry. This is the desperate effort of the Huns. The fourth and fifth battalions are coming to gather." Wu Hu saw the number of Hun cavalry rushing from the opposite side, with a look of desolation on his face.
You know, it's time to fight hard.
But as Yu Guangjue said, His Majesty trusts them so much that he has entrusted the final defense task to their second field army, so he must complete it well. Even if they are all exhausted and killed,
Nor could a Hun cavalry be allowed to escape from their defense.
The first to fifth battalions were gathered together, with more than 3,000 troops. They were placed on the official road like a roadblock, with no intention of giving in.
"Rush over, clear a bloody path for the clan members to leave, and fire arrows!" When the two sides were about a hundred steps away, Ling Duogu shouted, followed by the sound of drawing a bow and shooting arrows, and then followed by a crackling sound.
, arrows rained down like rain, and many iron shields were filled with arrows.
Then the war horse hit the iron shield next, causing many iron shields to fall apart or fall aside. More and more infantry were exposed in front of the Huns cavalry, and their bodies were trampled by the four hooves of the war horse.
, letting out a cry of pain.
"Counterattack." Wu Hu and Yu Guangjue stood up, their weapons kept turning, and then they swung their sabers one after another.
Wu Hu's combat power is also good, but in such a war, he obviously has some mental strength and insufficient strength. Just after receiving seven swords, his whole shoulder was sore and swollen. When another sword struck head-on, he didn't check for a moment.
Before he could react, a cut was made on his shoulder.
Fortunately, Yu Guangjue's long sword was handed over at this time, and he cut off the front hooves of another Huns cavalry horse who wanted to swing the sword, causing him to eat shit and throw both man and horse to the ground.
"Sir, you are injured, please retreat quickly." Yu Guangjue came to Wu Hu's side with his sword in hand, protecting him and comforting him at the same time.
But how could Wu Hu retreat at this moment? If he retreated as a wounded man, how many people would be left on the battlefield? This battle would be equal to a defeat. He gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter, there is a battle.
Protected by armor, this cut is not deep, so I can fight again."
There were more and more wounded soldiers like Wu Hu on the battlefield. Except for some who were seriously injured and could no longer fight, other soldiers with minor injuries were holding on. At this time, the 6th to 9th Battalions also rushed over.
They all saw that the situation of the front army was not good and came to support them.
In the end, only Chief of Staff Luo Hua and a thousand soldiers of the 10th Battalion stood at the back. They would become the last barrier, blocking the Huns' cavalry from escaping eastward.
Tap tap... tap tap...
The sound of war horses suddenly sounded behind him, and Luo Hua's expression changed when he heard the sound. Could it be that reinforcements from the Huns cavalry had arrived? If so, that would be a bad thing.
Looking back with an uneasy feeling, what I saw was a golden dragon flag, shining in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Tang Ao came, bringing five hundred Han generals with him.
Uniform black armor and black faces, unified weapons and thick long spears, and five bright golden dragon flags were held high in the hands of Ao San to Ao Qi respectively, seeming to prove their identities and infinite glory to everyone.
When Luo Hua saw the five bright golden dragon flags flying in the distance, his eyes widened instantly, and then he felt a rush of hot blood rushing into his body, and he didn't know what happened next.
Where did he find the strength? He suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Comrades, your Majesty is here. Your Majesty is here to support us. Let's kill together!"
At this moment, many soldiers also saw the golden dragon flag floating in the distance, and they all shouted excitedly. Then, like Luo Hua, they ran towards the Hun cavalry on the opposite side with their weapons and shouting.
Kill him.
Although there were only a thousand people, after the morale surged, the shouts were so loud that when they reached the ears of Wu Hu, Yu Guangjue and others who were fighting with the Huns cavalry, they attracted their curious eyes. They made
I don’t understand what happened to the Chief of Staff. What kind of medicine did he take to suddenly become so energetic?
It wasn't until they saw Tang Ao who was following the footsteps of the 10th Battalion, and saw the flying golden dragon flag, that they finally found the reason. At the same time, their morale was shocked. "Your Majesty is here, comrades, kill all these
Huns!"
"kill!"
The appearance of Tang Ao was like a shot in the arm of all the soldiers of the Great Chinese Army. This may be the reason why ancient emperors usually won when they went on a personal expedition.
The infantry of the Dahua Army, which had been suppressed and beaten at first, and might even face collapse at any time, suddenly seemed to have changed. Their aura became extremely high, and the speed of swinging the swords in their hands was faster than before.
Three points, each one seemed to be several times stronger. All of this confused the Hun cavalry who were fighting with them.
"What is going on?" Just when Ling Duogu had doubts in his mind, he heard someone next to him shouting: "General, look over there!"
"Huh? Ah!" Ling Duogu finally noticed Tang Ao and the five hundred Han generals coming from afar, and his expression became a little panicked.
Although the opponent only had 500 riders, judging from the flags displayed, it was clearly the Emperor of China.
