Chapter five hundred and ninety-two iron shells appearing on the battlefield
After the Jizhou Army left the city, the generals began to move forward slowly according to the previous battle plan. The army stopped advancing when they were ten miles...eight miles...five miles...three miles away.
The Hun soldiers directly opposite also all left the camp and moved forward one mile, so the actual distance between the two sides was only two miles. This distance was too close in later wars, but in today's era, although it is close,
But it's not enough to kill someone.
The fact that the two sides are so close shows their confidence in winning and the attitude that no one wants to give in.
"Hahaha, okay! At such a close distance, the cavalry can reach the Jizhou Army with just a light charge. As long as we break through their camp, we can cover up the army and kill them. Victory is expected!" Bu Jie!
Looking at the Jizhou Army two miles away, he burst into laughter.
Not only Bu Jie, but other Huns generals also looked proud. When they attacked the city before, they suffered some casualties, but they still caused more than twice the damage to the Jizhou Army. This is enough to prove that the Huns
The soldiers were able to conquer and fight well. The next step was no longer a siege battle, but a field battle, and their confidence in victory became stronger.
Compared with the ridicule and sarcasm of the Xiongnu soldiers here, the Jizhou Army was completely quiet. Except for the sound of the wind, there was no other movement. Under the influence of the environment, even the more than a thousand Xiongnu prisoners could not help but shut up.
They tightened their mouths, as if making sounds was something wrong with them.
The calm situation was broken by Tang Ao's words, "Push the prisoners out and tell the Huns to capture them without mercy. Otherwise, we won't be polite."
"No." Ao Qi, who loves to be in the limelight the most, agreed, and then he jumped out of the crowd on horseback and ran straight for about 800 meters. When he saw that he was about to reach the Xiongnu camp, he reined in his horse.
, and then loudly spoke out King Ji's request with a loud voice.
Ao Qi, who was full of anger, shouted loudly, and his voice was clearly heard by the Huns. When they heard that he wanted them to surrender without fighting, otherwise they would kill all the more than a thousand captives before, one by one
The Huns stared angrily, and some of the bad-tempered ones couldn't help but put their hands on their sabers, looking ready to charge and kill the enemy at any time.
Bu Jie, who was riding on the horse, was also angry. The Jizhou army dared to look down on them, despise them, and even threaten them with prisoners of war. This seemed to him to be looking down on him. But those prisoners were all from the Qiao family.
If people make the wrong decision, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the Bu family and the Qiao family. He still cannot make the decision to charge, and can only look at Qiao Tai, the representative of the Qiao family, standing aside.
At this moment, Qiao Tai's face showed a tangled look, perhaps because he was flushed with anger.
Originally, he had prepared for the Qiao family warriors to charge, but when he saw a cavalry coming from the opposite side, he did not give the order to charge because he wanted to see what the other party had to say. Who would have thought that after this delay?
Something like this happened.
The lives of more than a thousand of his warriors are in his hands. If he makes a bad decision, they may all die. So what choice should he make?
Surrender is absolutely impossible. This time the Qiao family can strive to come here is an opportunity for them to prosper, and it is absolutely impossible to let it go. But if no compromise is made, it means that Qiao Xiong and others will definitely die.
.These are the elite warriors of the Qiao family. Do you really want to watch them die?
There was a brief period of tranquility above the war. Taking this opportunity, ten-wheeled chariots eight meters long and four meters wide boarded the battlefield and came to the front of all Jizhou troops, becoming the first echelon of existence.
"Master, the chariot battalion is ready." Seeing the red flag in General Bai Wu's hand raised high, Shi Lei reminded Tang Ao in a low voice.
"Very good." A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Ao's face, "Tell Brother Seven that you can come back."
"Woo!" The trumpet sounded, summoning Ao Qi. He laughed loudly and turned his horse to prepare to run back. This feeling of shouting tens of thousands of Huns soldiers with the power of one horse was really great. With this, he went back
Houzu can play with several brothers for a long time.
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!" The big Han Shantatang finally couldn't control his temper and chose to take action. After riding his horse for dozens of steps, he raised his strong bow and shot towards Ao Qi who was about to leave.
One arrow.
At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, ordinary bows and arrows could not shoot that far. But Shantatang's arm strength was amazing, and the arrow still landed, almost grazing Ao Qi's side.
Ao Qi was surprised that the opponent had such arm strength, and soon his body disappeared in a flash. The next thing he dodged the bow and arrow was to reach back with his hand, holding the same strong bow with horns in his hand, and then he happily
He shot back an arrow.
Ao Qi's shot, whose arm strength was equally astonishing, hit Shantatang's war horse. The painful horse fell to the ground with a plop, which also caused Shantatang who was on the horse to fall off.
"Hahaha." Ao Qi couldn't help bursting into laughter after succeeding with one blow, and then rode back. The figure of leaving after getting an advantage made all the Hun generals and warriors very angry, and they all looked at each other.
They also knew that without his consent at this moment, there would be no impact, otherwise none of them would be able to bear the blame on the Qiao family later.
Qiao Tai still had a troubled look on his face and had not made a final decision. Perhaps everyone could understand his mood, and no one urged him. This gave the Jizhou Army more time to prepare. Tang Ao would ride on his horse from time to time.
Turning his head to say something to Wei Chao and the other three, Prince Ji, who always had a faint smile on his lips, became the backbone in everyone's eyes.
The battlefield became eerily quiet. Even the sixty chariots that had been lined up remained motionless on the battlefield, letting time pass by bit by bit.
For more than half an hour, layers of cold sweat had already flowed out of Qiao Tai's face. Naturally, he knew that the longer he waited, the more disadvantageous he would be to his side and the heavier the blow would be to military morale.
, but he still couldn't bear to see Qiao Xiong and the others die on the battlefield like this.
"The Han people have a saying that if they continue to fight, they will suffer chaos. Qiao Xiong and the others will not die in vain, and we will avenge them." Finally, Bu Jie couldn't help it anymore and asked everyone to wait here for Qiao Tai.
If one person makes the decision, the morale of the army has been declining. How can we continue to fight this war?
Hearing the urging voice, Qiao Tai raised his head with difficulty and finally made up his mind, "Mr. Bu, please give the order to attack."
"Okay!" Bu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of words came from Qiao Tai's mouth, so the life and death of Qiao Xiong and others had nothing to do with him. "Everyone listened to the order and prepared to attack. Bu
Lead 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, Wu Guang lead 5,000 infantry to attack on the left wing, Ke Nian leads 5,000 infantry to attack on the right wing, and the others should be ready to cover up and charge at any time!"
The order was finally issued. After receiving the order, the Xiongnu generals who had been impatient for a long time walked towards the army and ordered their troops to leave.
The Xiongnu military camp became agitated, but the Jizhou Army remained motionless. Even the sixty chariots stood there quietly at this time. The draft horses that had pulled them to move had already been withdrawn.
The iron car is just left standing here alone.
Although the Xiongnu were curious about these iron shells, they did not pay attention to them. They were just immovable objects. They only needed to bypass them during the battle, and this object became nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.
Among the three armies, Bu Li moved first, leading five thousand cavalry and quickly began to move towards the battlefield with various shouts.
"Retreat!" With the flag waved, the Jizhou troops received the order and began to retreat, and they did not stop until they retreated two miles. This scene fell in the eyes of the Huns cavalry, and they couldn't help laughing.
, speaking their own unique language.
Although I couldn't understand what these people were talking about, I could guess just by looking at their performance that they must be laughing at the timidity of the Jizhou Army. In fact, many Jizhou Army's faces turned red.
Come, when the two sides are about to fight, they retreat two miles now, which does seem to be a coward. But when they see the black dragon five-color golden claw flag flying high, the figure of Ji Wang Tang Ao stands tall on the horse.
At that time, many soldiers quickly calmed down.
At the beginning of the war, the Jizhou Army took the initiative to retreat. Isn't this a manifestation of confidence? This is because Tang Ao has great confidence in his own army.
The soldiers also have confidence in him. They firmly believe that as long as His Royal Highness King Ji is here, their backbone and military morale are there, and the army will not be defeated!
The Huns cavalry are still moving forward slowly. It's not that they don't want to attack, it's just that the sixty iron shells are right in front of them, and they didn't move rashly until they figured out what they were. This is also the meaning of Patriarch Bu Jie
, something they couldn't understand appeared on the battlefield. If they didn't understand what role they could play, how could the cavalry charge to the opponent with confidence?
"Go and see what this is." When Bu Li led the cavalry to about a hundred meters away from the chariot, he saw that there was still no movement at all from the iron shells, so he couldn't help but send someone forward.
Go and test.
After the two bold Huns cavalry received the order, they rushed their horses to the chariot. As they got closer and closer, the chariot still did not respond at all. It was like a pile of scrap metal, sitting there.
There was no movement there. Until the two cavalrymen came into close contact with them, and one of them used the saber in his hand to slash at the outer skin of the chariot, they still did not react at all, as if they were lifeless.
