Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth defeat the Xiongnu cavalry
They only wore cloth armor, and there were even some Hun cavalry who were bare-chested, revealing their strong sinews. Such attire was a natural target for crossbow arrows. Whenever a crossbow arrow came, they had no defense at all.
None, watching the arrows pierce them one after another, piercing into their bodies, bringing a stream of blood flowing outwards.
Before engaging the enemy, the Hun cavalry team fell off their horses one after another. Among the cavalry teams that launched a high-speed attack, if they fell off their horses at this time, even if they were only injured, they would not be able to survive in the future.
At the opportunity, the strong horses came and fell on the Hun soldiers who had been hit by arrows, trampling them one by one into a pulp, with blood covering the ground.
The bloody smell soon filled the streets of Songcheng, making people sick to smell it. But at this time, no one paid attention to this, because at this moment, the horses of both sides finally collided, followed by sabers and bright silver spears.
A process of constant collision.
Relying on the advantage of longer weapons, when they first met the enemy, they saw one after another Hun cavalry being penetrated by spears. They couldn't even utter a cry, and they died.
But as the saying goes, every inch is short and every inch is dangerous. There were still many Huns cavalry who relied on their superb equestrian skills to escape the attack of bright silver spears, and came to Shanshan's side, and then they raised their swords and chopped.
The saber fell quickly, and then was quickly bounced away. In front of the exquisite chain armor, the saber not only did not hurt the Shanshan Guards, but the huge impact force caused the unprepared Hun cavalry saber to fall on the hand.
On the ground.
This is the advantage of equipment, and this is the true explanation that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.
Feng Xun was facing Qiao Xiong, and the two generals tacitly chose to capture and kill him.
Relying on the length of the bright silver gun, Feng Xun shot forward and grazed Qiao Xiong's shoulder, leaving a bloody gash on it.
Qiao Xiong was able to become a Hun cavalry general, and his own strength was naturally not limited. Still using his superb equestrian skills, he avoided this fatal shot attack, then approached Feng Xun, and struck him in the chest with a knife.
.
Ding dong!
The position where the saber landed was very precise, but the splash of blood that was supposed to occur did not appear. Instead, it reverberated as if it had hit a heavy iron body, causing Qiao Xiong's saber to almost fly away.
The greater the power, the greater the force of the counter-shock. Thanks to Qiao Xiong's immense strength, even so, he still noticed that blood was oozing out of the tiger's mouth holding the knife.
"How is that possible?" Although he didn't speak, his wide-open eyes clearly revealed his thoughts. While Qiao Xiong was stunned, the bright silver gun in Feng Xun's hand swept back and came towards Qiao Xiong.
With his life hanging by a thread, Qiao Xiong instinctively swung his sword to block it. With the crisp sound of the weapons impacting, the saber was cut into two pieces. When fine steel met scrap iron, everyone stood up and looked forward to it.
Although the saber was broken into two pieces, it still saved his life at the most critical moment. The bright silver spear changed its direction under the impact and fell on Qiao Xiong's armor, only slicing off a piece of the armor.
Just cut it off.
"Run." Throwing half of the saber towards Feng Xun, taking advantage of the opportunity to dodge, Qiao Xiong quickly adjusted his horse's body, and then galloped away.
Under the successive blows, Qiao Xiong finally faced the reality, that is, he was no match for the Jizhou Cavalry. They had crossbows that could be fired continuously at close range, and armor that could defend themselves and ignore their saber attacks.
With a treasure that can sharpen iron like clay...
To sum up, when all the above are combined into one, how can we still fight this battle?
How else can we win?
It is almost a human instinct to run away if you can't fight. It's just that Qiao Xiong was even more embarrassed, because at this moment he even threw away the saber in his hand.
Qiao Xiong wanted to run away. How could Feng Xun do what he wanted? From the armor worn by the opponent, he could tell that it was a character.
Tang Ao has said more than once that to capture the thief first, capture the king. On the battlefield, as long as the opponent's general is captured, it often indicates that the outcome of the war has been decided. At this time, if this person is allowed to escape, it will not be easy.
I know how much trouble it will cause.
Putting the bright silver gun in front of him, he moved his right hand back and took the long ox-horn bow hanging on the horse.
Considering that the Shanshan Guards carry a lot of things, which has affected the speed of the war horses, other Shanshan Guards are not equipped with long bows with horns. But as the leader of the Shanshan Guards, Feng Xun is naturally an exception.
Feng Xun not only has the horned longbow, but it is also the strongest one, possessing more powerful killing power.
He matched his bow with an arrow, held his breath, and aimed at the hind hooves of Qiao Xiong's horse, which was running away. As soon as his right hand was released, he shot an arrow.
The training finally had an effect. The arrow hit the healthy horse's leg and hoof. The pain made it involuntarily lift its hind legs. Then, the miserable Qiao Xiong fell off the horse. What a coincidence, the horse's hoof
It hit him right on the head and knocked him unconscious with just one kick.
The group was leaderless, and Qiao Xiong's fainting made the Hun cavalry, who had already rushed into the battle, even worse, and their resistance became even weaker.
In the land that has been peaceful for nineteen years, almost all soldiers have one thing in common, that is, lack of actual combat experience. No matter how hard you have trained, it is just an army that has not seen blood. When you really see blood
, when you see your companion suddenly lifeless and lying next to you, the feeling is completely indescribable in words.
At that moment, what I was thinking in my heart was not that I could be calm and contented if I was ready.
When they saw their comrades fall one after another under the bright silver spears, when they were covered in blood, or when their eyes widened with a look of death, the fighting spirit of the Huns cavalry gradually collapsed.
Until one person couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and started running away regardless. It was like a flood coming to a dam. Finally, there was a breach, and then more and more Huns cavalry joined the torrent of escape.
among.
Without the supervision of the general, ordinary cavalry would have no pressure at all to escape. As they began to flee quickly, the situation of the Shanshan Guard was excellent, and the speed of their advance was getting faster and faster, and the resistance they encountered was strong.
Naturally it is getting smaller and smaller.
Just over an hour later, in addition to the fallen corpses on the street, there were only 1,500 Huns cavalry who tried to escape but could not escape. At this time, each of them had dismounted and hugged them honestly.
He knelt down on the ground with his head down.
At this time, the third battalion of Shanshan Guards also rushed to Songcheng. They had just finished cleaning the battlefield at the foot of Baifeng Mountain and had to continue cleaning the battlefield.
When the final results were tallied and delivered to Feng Xun, he was somewhat dissatisfied.
In this battle, they came out with a surprise attack and rushed into Songcheng, giving the Huns cavalry an unexpected blow. Taking the lead, they won the final victory. They killed 800 enemies, wounded 500 enemies, and captured
A glorious victory against one thousand and five enemies.
The number of Hun cavalry who actually escaped was only about 1,500. They also included some Hun cavalry who were out on a mission to clear grass in the valley and were not in the city. As the attacking party, the Shanshan Guards only lost three people in battle.
The price of more than two hundred injuries. Moreover, the injuries of the two hundred injured were not serious. Protected by chain armor, they could withstand more external forces. They only needed to rest for a period of time before they could be active again.
Even among the three people who died in the battle, two were due to bad luck. One was shot in the face by a bow and arrow on his nose, which was not protected by a helmet; the other was stabbed in the eye by a saber, which was also not protected by a helmet.
There was only one person, because he was too arrogant, and relying on good protection, he rushed into the middle of the Huns cavalry, one against six, and finally killed three people, and then was beaten to death by the group.
This is enough to show that on the battlefield, arrogance is not advisable. No matter how powerful you think you are, sometimes an elephant will be tortured to death by a group of mice.
Of course, this battle further proved the benefits of powerful equipment. Otherwise, even if this battle could be won, it would be impossible without paying the price of thousands of people.
"Come here, send the results of the battle report to the young master. Others, hurry up and rest. And let the scout brothers work hard to see if they can find the escaped Huns cavalry. If they can't find it, we will go to Ancheng tomorrow.
Direction movement." Feng Xun called the three battalion commanders and after a brief meeting, he made the above decision.
According to Tang Ao's request, all people have shortcomings, and no general can conquer the world. It is said that one person is weak in skills and three are strong in skills. Whenever conditions permit, the military director must discuss with several important officials before making a decision.
The subordinates discussed it and made a decision.
It cannot be said that this is definitely correct, at least it can reduce its own loopholes and thus reduce the error rate. In fact, according to Tang Ao, every army should have a staff department, who will be responsible for the army's policies and policies.
Action, through their various calculations to make military plans, this will minimize the error rate. In fact, Tang Ao did the same, he personally selected fifty-four smart and intelligent people in the army,
Send them to Longyuan to study military affairs. Whenever he has time, Tang Ao will teach them personally.
It's just that the time is too short, I only studied for half a year, and there are still too many things I haven't learned. I can't graduate now, and naturally I won't be qualified for important positions. But as time goes by, the staff officers participate in more battles.
, the problem of the staff department must be perfected, and it must play a big role. Just like this time, Tang Ao personally led the army and came later. The three staff students with the best grades in the army accompanied them. Based on practice, they
In terms of true knowledge, these three people are obviously the ones Tang Ao wants to focus on cultivating.
