Chapter 593: The Iron-blooded Chariot Shows Its Might
"It can't be cut!" The Hun cavalryman who took action looked sadly at the curled-up saber in his hand, and said with a bitter look on his face.
Bu Li's face also darkened, and he couldn't cut it. Doesn't it mean that there is nothing they can do with these iron shells? Even so, he simply ignored them, since they were just a pile of dead things anyway.
"Forward." After Bu Li waved his hand, the sound of the cavalry attack horn sounded again. Many Huns cavalry had begun to accelerate slowly. As for the sixty iron-clad vehicles blocking them, there was nothing they could do for the time being.
Next, they chose to go around.
As the sound of the horn became louder and louder, more Hun cavalry rushed past from both sides of the chariot. At this time, they had changed from initial curiosity to now turning a blind eye, without even taking a second look at these individuals.
Iron shell.
Seeing that the stationed Hun cavalry began to accelerate, more and more Hun cavalry launched a charge, and when they were about to overwhelm the chariot camp, Wei Chao, the staff officer beside Tang Ao, could no longer hold back and clenched his fists, shouting "good words",
Then his expectant eyes fell on Tang Ao and said: "Teacher, you can start."
"Blow the trumpet." Tang Ao said without any emotion in his voice, as if he was speaking commonplace words. But he didn't know how many Huns cavalry would die on the battlefield with this order.
The trumpeter on the side had long been prepared. When the order was issued, almost in the next breath, the sharp trumpet sound sounded. Then the sixty chariots that had been motionless were followed by the Huns.
The immobile objects that people regard as scrap metal suddenly began to move. Each iron shell opened its eyes like a monster, and small windows one after another were opened from the inside, and then one after another was exposed.
A black Shen's small repeating crossbow with an icy aura.
Thousands of arrows were fired, and the crossbow arrows fell like rain cloth, and red flames bloomed on the body of a Hun cavalry who was passing by.
The sudden attack was completely unprepared. All eyes were on the Huns cavalry of the Jizhou Army four miles away on the opposite side. They were stunned and caught off guard by this head-on blow.
Many Huns cavalry were still roaring and charging forward. Who would have thought that so many enemies would suddenly be exposed from the iron shells around them, and their crossbows seemed to be able to fire continuously, one after another without any arrows.
The pause caused the Hun cavalry to fall from their horses to the ground one after another. Even though many people had died on the battlefield, they still did not understand what happened and how they died from being hit by arrows.
The sixty chariots exerted all their strength this time, vividly demonstrating what it means to be destructive.
In the Jizhou Army camp, Ning Feng watched everything that happened in front of him with wide eyes. Thinking that he had previously suggested that the teacher use the Guzhou Army to consume the Xiongnu soldiers, how ridiculous was this idea?
Thinking back to what the teacher said to him yesterday, there would be a better way to solve the battle and severely injure the Huns soldiers at the minimum cost. Looking at it now, it was not that the teacher was just talking nonsense, but that he really had such confidence and strength.
The five thousand Hun cavalry charging frontally received a heavy blow, and the Hun infantry responsible for the attack on both sides did not suffer any benefits either. The two firearms battalions had already aimed their muzzles at them, and the trebuchets and sky-blasting cannons were updated.
The coordinates were adjusted early, and when the 10,000 Huns infantry came within range, they launched the attack without ceremony.
Thunder after thunder fell on the Huns' ranks. The deafening sound of the cannons instantly made their ears ring. At that moment, blood continued to explode in the ranks. One after another, the Huns infantry were killed.
Those who died from the bombardment were either thrown into the air by the aftermath of the thunder, or were blown to pieces.
The sound of cannons and bows and arrows was heard endlessly. In exchange, one after another Hun warriors fell to the ground covered in blood. Although they performed very bravely, many soldiers continued to charge forward even when they died.
posture, but in the face of the absolute weapon superiority, all their efforts were so futile and pale.
"Well done." Wei Chao and the other three staff officers were all happy and angry at this moment. They were riding on war horses and were still pumping their fists. All of this was the result of their hard work. It seems now
, everything went as planned, causing heavy damage to the Xiongnu.
"The whole army attacks!" In Tang Ao's eyes, he saw a Huns soldier died in battle, and saw blood flowing into a river, without a trace of ripples in it. On the battlefield, either you die or I die. The so-called success of a general
Ten Thousand Bones Dry is so appropriate at this moment.
Whether it was the intensive attack of bows and arrows or the explosion of thunder, after the Huns paid a huge price, they finally felt fear and began to retreat. Seeing that the army was defeated like a mountain, Tang Ao seized the opportunity,
The army launched a charge.
The entire army strikes back!
With three thousand Shanshan Guard cavalry in front, followed by six thousand Guzhou soldiers, and ten thousand Jizhou Army reserves, they launched a charge in a layered manner like a wave.
Looking at the Huns soldiers, they are like small boats in the sea. They are constantly struggling in the face of strong winds and waves. It seems that they will capsize and the whole army will be annihilated in the next moment.
"Hold on, hold on." Bu Jie was riding on his horse, his frightened look represented his mood at this time. It turned out that he would be plunged into a hard battle, and then the two sides would fight in a melee on the battlefield.
In order to win the victory, the Huns warriors may have to pay a high price. But as long as they can eliminate the main force of the Jizhou Army in front of them, it is worth paying some price, because then they will own the wealth of the entire Jizhou, and the Huns will also
It will usher in an era of great development.
But who could have imagined that the expected brutal melee did not happen, not even the distance battle, and the war situation turned upside down. A total of 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry were dispatched, and they were even defeated.
He didn't even get a single answer, so he was disabled.
Yes, they are disabled. They have neither the will nor the strength to resist. It seems that all they can do now is retreat.
The most important thing for an army is morale. Once they lose 30% of their troops, it basically means failure. With the morale and morale of the army weakened, it is likely to be completely defeated.
Once more than half of the troops are lost, it is basically equivalent to being disabled. Unless someone can step forward to turn the tide, otherwise, it will lose without a fight.
Once the loss of more than 70% of the troops is considered a powerful army, the only way to go is defeat (except for the People's Liberation Army).
The Hun soldiers on the battlefield faced this kind of situation. After a lot of bow shooting and shelling, the Hun warriors threw away the bodies of at least two people, and half of them were beaten unconscious, and their tempers were completely destroyed.
Nothing, no morale.
Taken together, this is equivalent to a loss of more than 70% of the troops. In this case, how can we continue to fight this battle?
Qing knew that the situation was not good, but Bu Jie still did not want to give up. He still wanted to turn the tide of the battle on his own. He slashed with a knife and killed a fleeing Huns soldier in front of him. He continued to shout loudly, "Don't panic."
, don’t mess up, kill back, kill back.”
"Go back." After Bu Jie's example, more people around him got involved, including generals and soldiers. At this moment, they all transformed into an inspection team, and took down a man who had retreated due to fear.
The deserters were killed, which shocked many people, and the situation of the army's defeat seemed to be alleviated a little bit.
Bu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. What he was afraid of was that he would be defeated like a mountain. In that case, no matter how strong he was, he would not have a chance to show off. Now that it is better, the army seems to have become much calmer. Who can say that there is no counterattack?
What about the chances?
But before he could really take a breath, another burst of shouts of killing came from the rear of the Huns army. The 1,000 Tiger Army and the 5,000 Fourth Army, which had been ordered to detour early in the morning, finally arrived at the location designated by the staff.
position, and chose the best time to take action.
A fire suddenly broke out behind him, which was the scene of the food and grass baggage being set alight. The rear army was attacked and the food and grass were burned. Bu Jie was shocked and turned pale, and his face became even more ugly.
If he had the confidence to suppress the defeat just now and was looking for an opportunity to fight with the Jizhou Army, this idea is completely gone now. An army, no matter how powerful it is, will lose its morale once it runs out of food and grass.
Even defeat is not far away. Everyone knows this truth, how could Bu Jie not know this?
"Old Bu Clan, retreat, otherwise it will be too late." Qiao Tai appeared next to Bu Jie at some unknown time and said anxiously.
"Withdraw." He gritted his teeth. No matter how unwilling he was, Bu Jie had no better way at this moment. In order to keep the green hills and not be afraid of running out of firewood, he could only escape from here first.
Bu Jie agreed. Qiao Tai breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly to all around him: "Quick, someone will come to protect the elders and retreat."
The price to pay for retreating at this time is really too high, which means that not even one out of ten people who escape will survive. But at this moment, there is no better way. If you continue to stay, there is a high probability that you will be killed.
completely annihilated.
Under the protection of a group of soldiers, Bu Jie and Qiao Tai retreated respectively. Shantatang and Ke Nian were left behind to block the Jizhou army. This meant that they were likely to die on the battlefield, which was tantamount to giving up.
This was their only chance to escape, but the two of them agreed without any hesitation after accepting the order.
"Charge!" Feng Xun took the lead, leading 3,000 Shanshan Guards, forming dozens of arrow formations, stabbing at the defeated Huns army like steel knives. With the sharpness of the bright silver spear, Suo Zi
The armor is so hard that it can kill Buddhas and gods all the way. No one can defeat it.
