The Huns' scouts came and went like the wind, frantically attacking the Han soldiers who dared to approach.
The intensive sound of horse hoofbeats and occasional screams continued to be heard in the wind. The Han army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of cavalry, was obviously severely oppressed.
"Pass the order."
Li Yunze told the Korean servers around him to "pull back all outposts."
"Here~~~"
Hanfu first took the order and ordered his soldiers to convey the order, and then asked with a puzzled face, "Your Majesty, if there is no scouting post to detect the enemy's situation, I may be taken advantage of by the enemy."
The most important job of the scout is to detect the enemy's movements and prevent the enemy from playing various tricks, while he himself is still at a loss.
"It doesn't matter."
Looking at the Huns coming like a tide in the distance, Li Yunze responded calmly, "They are here for a decisive battle, and there is no time to waste."
Raiding, cutting off food routes, strategic encirclement, etc. are of no use to the Aries at this time.
Because their old camp is always facing threats from the Chengle County defenders. Once the defenders see through the truth and take the initiative to attack, the old camp will be gone.
Therefore, for the Aries tribe, they must win this battle quickly and quickly rush back with the main force.
Li Yunze saw clearly, so he took back the exploring horse outside without any worries to avoid meaningless losses.
In fact, for the Han army at this time, the best way was to garrison Wujin, attract the Huns to come and besiege the city, and then defeat them one by one.
But he was not sure whether the Huns had reinforcements, or when the reinforcements would come.
Anyway, reinforcements from the Han army will not arrive in a short time, because the main reinforcements must go to Shangjun, because that is the north gate of Jingzhao Chang'an.
Furthermore, Li Yunze wanted to defeat the Huns openly and openly in a wild battle, kill the Huns' arrogance, and change the situation in which the Han army was difficult to win in field battles.
Before the war started, Li Yunze made a serious promise: "I will tell all the officers and men that if this battle is a great victory, I will be rewarded with ten pieces of money and ten bolts of silk! The merits of decapitation, the merit of beheading the general, the merit of capturing the flag, the merit of jumping and swinging...all the merits
Calculate it separately!”
The news was passed down layer by layer, and the Han army suddenly cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.
Not only were the Huns far inferior to the Han army in terms of equipment, but the same was true in terms of morale.
The reason is very simple. It is impossible for their leaders and nobles to offer such a high reward.
Li Yunze on horseback raised his arms and slowly moved forward, "Line up and face the enemy!"
‘Dongdongdongdong~~~’
The dull drum beat sounded, and many neatly dressed Han army sergeants began to line up in formation, holding their own weapons and being urged and scolded by officers at all levels.
The so-called formation does not mean that tens of thousands of people gather together and form a large formation.
This is a battle, not a world record in team gymnastics.
Taking the Han army as an example, the formations are usually based on tun units, that is, fifty people form a small formation, and then multiple small formations come close to form a large formation, and more large formations gather together to form a real formation.
A military formation in a sense.
The total number of soldiers from all branches of the Han army totaled approximately over 7,000.
Li Yunze personally led his own army of Zhongshan Kingdom soldiers and horses as the central army, and ordered Wu Yao Commander Chen Xin's troops to be the front army, Wugao Commander Han Fu's troops to be the right army, and Wu Jin Zhao Guang's troops to be the left army.
As for the rear team, it was a team composed of thousands of local peasants.
They were also equipped with weapons and crossbows, surrounded many carriages to form a circle to protect themselves, and followed the formation forward to protect the rear buttocks of the formation.
Li Yunze didn't plan to use his disciples to fight on the front line. If even his disciples had to go to the front row, he would basically lose.
The army moved forward slowly to the sound of drums, and every once in a while, they would stop to reorganize their ranks.
After all, it is not a display of horizontal lines and vertical columns, so there will inevitably be deviations when marching on the battlefield.
If the deviation is not corrected, the farther you go, the more chaotic it will be, until it finally becomes completely scattered and collapses.
In this regard, the Han army, which has thousands of years of war experience, has long formulated relevant military orders, usually stopping to reorganize its formation after sixty steps.
In comparison, the Huns on the opposite side are simply a piece of scattered sand.
For the nomadic tribes on the grasslands to become truly powerful, they had to wait until they obtained a large number of Middle-earth craftsmen, acquired advanced equipment, learned the combat skills of Middle-earth, and had many retired sergeants for long-term training.
Seeing the large formation of the Han army that was gradually approaching, Sublu also felt his teeth were sore.
Although the Han army was not as numerous as him, it was well-equipped and well-organized, making it difficult to deal with at first glance.
In the past, the attack would have been primarily harassment, until the Han army was exhausted and morale collapsed.
But there is nothing we can do today. We must finish this battle as soon as possible and rush back.
Of course, if you win, you can say anything. Even if you lose, you can make a decisive decision and escape.
But no matter what, this battle must be fought.
Taking a deep breath, Suburu summoned several thousand captains and ordered them to lead their troops to resist the Han army pressing forward.
These captains were led by people who were mainly engaged in farming. They held some strange weapons in their hands and were crowded together in a messy manner, preparing to resist the Han army.
Naturally, Suburu cannot count on this rabble. His real killer move is over 10,000 cavalry.
It is impossible for the cavalry to charge directly into the formation. At least until the Han army's formation collapses, it would be courting death for the light cavalry to charge directly into the formation.
These cavalry will circle the two wings to harass the Han army's two wings and rear formation, looking for flaws to launch a fatal attack.
As for the Han master at the end, Xu Bru's ability to become a powerful household was not just based on his bloodline, but his ability.
As long as the main soldiers of the Han army can be defeated, those masters are just a plate of food, and they can eat as much as they want. Of course, they will not waste their strength on the masters at this time.
Xu Bru issued orders one after another and assigned a group of troops to resist the advance of the Han army's left and right wing formations.
As for himself, he was sitting at the rear with tens of thousands of troops, waiting for the opportunity to jump in.
The front of the Han army is led by Chen Xin, and its equipment is still mainly halberds. The first few rows are more than a thousand halberd soldiers. Following the halberd soldiers are sword and shield bearers responsible for protection, and behind them are bows and crossbows.
hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These are frontier troops, skilled in techniques and tactics, and their morale has also been very high under Li Yunze's high rewards. The most important thing is that the armor coverage rate of the Great Wall Legion has always been very high.
Among the halberdiers in the platoon, more than 30% were armored.
Iron armor is the most important strategic resource in this era.
The Huns' cavalry surged forward, throwing bows and arrows to harass when they were dozens of steps away.
A rain of arrows flew over the sky, and even if there were enough of them, many Han soldiers were still unlucky enough to be shot in unarmored parts.
They screamed and fell to the ground, but the formation would not give them any preferential treatment. The people in the back row would immediately step forward to replenish their ranks and continue to move forward to the sound of the drums.
The Han army's crossbowmen were also fighting back. Their crossbows had a long range and were very powerful. When they landed on the Huns' cavalry who had almost no armor, they were extremely lethal.
On the battlefield where arrows were flying, the formations on both sides were also approaching.
When the distance between the two sides was only a few miles, a large number of Han soldiers suddenly rushed out from the gaps in the many small square formations of the Han army's front army, shouting and charging forward.
This is not a loss of formation, these are the jumping soldiers selected in front of the station!
The so-called jumping soldiers means that when the two armies meet, before the military formation is finally adjusted into order, a wave of troops is needed to attack the enemy. While disrupting the enemy's formation, it will buy enough time for the main force to make a final and stable impact.
These dancing soldiers are selected on the principle of voluntary registration, and they are all elites who are not afraid of death.
The skill of jumping and swinging has always been ranked first among all skills.
Basically, as long as you can survive, you can get promoted and make a fortune.
Without this premise, no one would be crazy enough to become the Expendables.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tiaodang soldiers, Li Yunze not only recruited more from the Zhongshan national soldiers he brought, but also provided almost 200 sets of iron armor, equipping the Tiaodang soldiers with a total of less than 400 people in iron armor.
.
The soldiers, who had each had a bowl of wine before setting off, headed straight for the Huns' front line with red eyes and various weapons in hand.
At this distance, the Huns' cavalry had no time to react, and it was difficult to break through the blockade of the Han army's crossbowmen. They could only watch helplessly as the jumping soldiers collided with the front army array.
Some of the Tiaodang soldiers carried rifle bows. They all fired arrows wildly at a distance of twenty or thirty steps. After emptying the quivers, they rushed forward with their companions with shields and knives raised.
The Huns swept with all kinds of weapons, stabbed, chopped and smashed them. In the first wave of impact, at least seventy or eighty Tiaodang soldiers fell to the ground.
However, the remaining people successfully rushed into the Huns' array, waving various weapons in their hands wildly, harvesting the lives in front of them.
The infantry of the Aries tribe have really poor combat effectiveness, not even as good as the peasants of the Han army.
Because they have a heavy burden. Not only do they have to farm the land, they also have to take care of animal husbandry, and they also have to do all kinds of work for the leaders and nobles. They have almost no free time from morning to night, and naturally they have no time to hone their martial arts.
, time for training battle formations.
Its combat effectiveness is probably slightly stronger than the Beggar Army in the late Ming Dynasty.
The elite Tiaodang soldiers successfully disrupted the formation of the Huns' front army, killing countless people and gradually causing the Huns' front army to fall into chaos.
They all came to win military glory with the intention of dying. The armor on their bodies had amazing defensive power, and the burst of combat power made the Huns tremble with fear.
Suburu was shocked!
He knew that the Han army was elite, but he didn't expect it to be so elite!
The front army, composed of thousands of men, was almost in disarray.
He had no choice but to urgently arrange for the captains around him to lead the reserve team to reinforce and stabilize the formation.
The formations of both sides were still more than a hundred steps apart, and the Huns were already in chaos, which cast a shadow over Subru's heart.
'Is the Han family really so tyrannical?'
The Tiaodang soldiers who were fighting crazily among the Huns suddenly heard the rapid sound of drums behind them. They felt relieved. The red bloodshot eyes quickly disappeared and they ran back as hard as they could.
I have obtained the skill of dancing, now I have to run away.
Of the nearly 400 Tiaodang soldiers, less than 200 managed to escape. The terrifying battle loss rate was also the reason why Tiaodang's merits ranked first among all.
At this time, Zhao Xin's front row of halberdiers was only the last thirty steps away from the Huns on the opposite side.
As the drums sounded, the sergeants in the front row paused against the rain of arrows from the opposite side and made final adjustments.
The Han army maintained its orderly formation, but the Huns on the opposite side were already twisted and in disarray.
Even though the Tiaodang soldiers had withdrawn, they still had no time to regroup.
As the drums sounded again, the halberds held high by the Han army fell down, and they held the halberds in both hands and pointed toward the opposite side.
"Gale! Gale! Gale!"
As the Han troops shouted obscenities in unison, they began to move forward.
The steps are small, almost broken steps.
But the pressure it brought to the Huns on the opposite side was like Mount Tai.
Li Yunze on horseback could clearly see that the Huns' front line was in disarray and lacked long soldiers.
He immediately ordered, "No need to test, attack!"
The sound of drums sounded, and the Han army's halberd soldiers, who had already approached within ten steps, gave up their tentative movements and directly stabbed the opposite side with their halberds.
In an instant, the shadow of the halberd was like the wind, and blood surged like a spring!
