Chapter 287: Humiliating the corpse in front of the battle to lure the enemy to attack
A bugle sounded, and the three long phalanxes on the flanks all pivoted to the right. The peaks that were originally facing the front, this time except for the three rows of sergeants in front, all pointed to the flanks, and the two hundred
Several other archers and crossbowmen also rushed to the outside of the formation, shooting randomly into the smoke outside. Tan Ping took the lead, standing in front of the formation, firing his big bow like a barrage of cannons, and arrows shot from time to time.
He was flying by, but he remained motionless. He held a handful of arrows in his hand, and every arrow was fired without missing a beat. Almost every time an arrow was shot, there was a scream.
Under his influence, the Jin army's archers all fired rapidly, and the bows and arrows shot like raindrops into the smoke. In the smoke, the Huns cavalry once again let out bursts of screams, and what followed was,
There were also a lot fewer arrows fired back. Indistinct shouts and the screams of war horses came and went one after another, while the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
When the dust slowly dissipated, on the battlefield in front of the Jin army, we could see that there were piles of corpses of enemy soldiers and horses lying in the east and west. At a glance, there were more than 400 corpses.
The soldiers who were injured but not dead fell back and forth in a pool of blood, wailing. Seeing this, Liu Yu laughed and said loudly: "Brothers, the enemy cavalry was forced to retreat, well done!"
The soldiers of the Jin army cheered in unison: "Mighty, mighty, mighty!"
Liu Yu lifted up the iron mask on his face. His face looked calm and there was not much sweat. This battle was a relaxed and happy one for him. He turned around and quickly looked around according to the names of the corpses and wounded on the ground.
Judging from the situation the outcome of this confrontation, our side had an absolute advantage in this wave of fire due to their heavy armor and sharp crossbows. The Huns cavalry did not rush forward to charge into the formation, but at fifty paces
Although they were shooting at a gallop, they still suffered heavy losses. In this period alone, they lost more than 400 riders, less than half of whom returned. However, our own losses did not exceed fifteen people, and about two were injured.
There are more than ten people, which can be said to be very few.
Liu Yu looked at Tan Pingzhi on the side from a distance. The key to the battle just now was that Tan Pingzhi firmly guarded the side. He saw him standing in front of the formation, majestic, holding a big bow, and with ten spears on his body.
There were several feather arrows, but none of them were critical, and no blood even fell from the places where the arrows were hit. Liu Yu frowned and said loudly: "Can the bottle still hold up?"
Tan Pingzhi's voice came to the wind from more than a hundred steps away: "It doesn't matter, not even blood was shed, and it won't affect the battle."
Liu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Move away the corpses and wounded, and the lightly-armed soldiers will step forward to collect the enemy's heads. The speed must be fast, and the hands will be ready to move forward to meet the next wave of enemy attacks!"
Xiang Jing on the other side frowned: "Brother Jinu, although the enemy army has retreated and has not been defeated, it will come back to attack soon. It is not good to take the heads at this time!"
Liu Yu laughed: "How can we force them to attack across the board without collecting their heads?! Tieniu, take the people there in person. Remember to be quick. By the way, you can be a little more reckless. Provoking your opponents is the first thing!
"
Xiang Jing suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "I know what to do!"
Shao Bao's face was gloomy. He looked at the battlefield ahead. Dozens of horses whose owners had died were patrolling on the battlefield with their heads lowered. Some of them were still licking their dead owners, as if they wanted him to stand up.
, and the more than a hundred horses that had been hit by many arrows and fell in a pool of blood without dying, were wailing before their death, mixed with the dying wailings of some wounded soldiers, making the remaining more than a thousand
The knights were all silent.
There was a scattered sound of horse hooves, and three cavalrymen staggered over. The leader was Shu Yeke. Compared with the high-spiritedness when he first attacked, he was already in a mess now, and his helmet had disappeared.
, his face was covered with blood and sweat, his braided hair was completely messy, and his messy hair was flying in the air. He had seven or eight arrows inserted into his body, and he could constantly see blood leaking out from several arrows that were inserted deeper.
, if he hadn't had armor and silk underwear that were far better than those of ordinary soldiers, he might have perished just like his companions who couldn't come back.
The corner of Shao Bao's mouth curled up: "General Shu, thank you for your hard work. You can go down and rest first."
Shu Yeke's eyes sparkled with tears and he shouted: "No, general, this battle is a waste. We only rode and shot, but did not charge into the formation. That's why we suffered a big loss. Please give me another five hundred."
Soldier, I am allowed to be the first to attack this time, and I will definitely crush the Jin army’s defenses and avenge the dead brothers!”
Shao Bao gritted his teeth: "No, there is a murderous intention hidden in the enemy's formation. We rushed fifty steps in front of them but remained unmoved. We must be prepared. Now we can't act on impulse and rush into the enemy's formation. We should ask everyone to help.
Marshal, send your troops to help."
Before he finished speaking, a messenger on the side suddenly shouted: "General, look, the Jin army has changed!"
Shao Baoheshu also looked at the opposite battlefield at the same time. He saw nearly a hundred lightly-armed sergeants running out of the Jin army formation. They were not wearing armor, but were wearing single clothes and holding bright steel knives. They were strutting like this.
He walked to the corpses of the Huns cavalry in front of them and cut off their heads one by one with their swords in hand, regardless of whether the Huns on the ground were dead or alive.
Their speed was very fast, their knives were clean and neat, and they didn't say much. They were just like a bunch of butchers killing cattle and sheep. Soon, more than a hundred heads became trophies on their waists.
Shu Yeke cried out: "Baha'er, Baha'er!" He saw the body of his younger brother Baha'er, chopped off by a shirtless man as strong as a bear and carried in his hand.
.
It seemed to be telepathy. The big man was Xiang Jing. He chopped off the head of a gorgeously dressed Huns on the ground, who was obviously not an ordinary soldier. His heart moved and he looked to the opposite side. He could only see two miles away.
In the Xiongnu camp, a man who looked like a general was beating his chest. He laughed and mentioned the head: "You dogs, do you want this? Come and get it!"
All the lightly-armed soldiers of the Jin army burst into laughter at the same time: "That's right, come and get it. If you don't come, you'll be a coward!"
Shu Yeke screamed, almost vomiting blood. He turned to look at Shao Bao, almost begging: "General Shao, please let me charge again. If I don't avenge Baha'er, I, I will never die in peace."
!”
Shao Bao gritted his teeth and held the riding whip tightly, but said nothing.
Xiang Jing rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't dare to come and get it, do you? Okay, brothers, let's play by ourselves!"
