At this time, the soldiers were already out of their minds. Every one of them was shocked by the scene in front of them. Even the Chanyu looked like a sculpture.
"Add!" Zhou Sen urged.
add!
At this time, someone woke up and quickly wanted to take the bull, but found that the surrounding red bulls were hiding far away, and their eyes were full of awe. Obviously, they no longer wanted to compete with Zhou Sen.
A soldier holding a bottle of good wine finally coaxed a red bull to join, but found that the rope was no longer enough, so he had to shorten the rope of the other red bull, pull out two rings, and put it around the cow's neck.
After the harness was set up, the soldier gave the order, and immediately, the Red Bull exerted force at the same time.
"come over!"
Zhou Sen suddenly shouted loudly, and the sixteen red bulls were pulled backwards. There were countless deep grooves on the ground, which was shocking.
Sixteen red bulls exhaled hot air, leaning forward, the tight ropes were like bowstrings, and the tangled muscles were full of infinite power...
…
collapse!
collapse!
collapse!
…
With a series of muffled sounds, sixteen ropes brought from the earth exploded in the air and turned into smoke and dust. At the same time, sixteen bulls lost their balance and rushed out suddenly, some of which hit huge trees.
They were cut into two parts, and some couldn't hold their hooves back and fell to the ground. Fortunately, there were no soldiers standing in front of the red bull herd, otherwise, we don't know how many casualties it would have caused.
The entire forest fell into silence once again.
Thousands of eyes fell on Zhou Sen, and there was endless awe in their eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horse hooves broke the extreme silence.
Spy!
The spies reported that a large number of Crusader cavalry were galloping a few miles away and were approaching the edge of the Dark Forest.
After hearing the spies' report, the Huns' army in the woods suddenly surged with enthusiasm, and every one of them had a fanatical fighting spirit in their eyes.
Because of Zhou Sen's magical power, the morale of the Xiongnu army was high. When they heard that the enemy troops were coming to kill them, their fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
Zhou Sen kicked off his feet, his body suddenly jumped into the air, and landed on the back of the cow. With a volley, a long, thick-backed knife with a severed head and a cold light appeared in his hand.
"Get ready to fight and let them know that our extra barbarians know how powerful our Huns are!" Zhou Sen shouted loudly and raised his long sword high.
"fighting!"
"fighting!"
"fighting!"
"fighting!"
…
Zhou Sen's words "We Huns" immediately closed the distance between the Huns. The soldiers' blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they shouted louder than the other. The sound soared into the sky, and the wind and clouds changed color.
Zhou Sen took the lead with one bull and charged out of the woods. Five hundred powerful red bulls followed closely behind, stabbing out of the woods like a red hurricane.
At the same time, 50,000 Xiongnu lined up in a charging formation and poured out like a tide. For a moment, sand and rocks were flying, covering the sky and the sun...
…
General Gore had locked the place where the Huns were camping, so he no longer concealed his presence and began to order 80,000 cavalry to surround them in a fan shape.
In order to defeat the Huns, General Gore spent a lot of money and used a total of 80,000 elite cavalry.
These 80,000 elite cavalry are not the cavalry of Zhenshuiguan. They are all the elite of the Crusaders. Each of them can fight one against a hundred. In several battles with General Wu Yuan, they have repeatedly won.
He was hailed as a victorious lion by the Crusaders.
There are only 200,000 crusaders in the entire Wuchao City, and they are stationed in Jiudaoguai, Tanbao Barracks and Fengshulin Barracks, forming a cornered force and surrounding Wuchao City.
In order to ensure the success of this sneak attack, almost all the Crusaders in the Tanbao Barracks came out.
General Gore is a general who has experienced hundreds of battles and has extremely rich combat experience. He also knows that such a large-scale military operation by the Crusaders will definitely not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Han army. It is for this reason that General Gore chose
Called the troops at Tanbao Barracks.
Among the three major barracks, Tanbao Barracks is the most dangerous, with one man blocking the way and ten thousand others unable to break through. General Gore determined that even if the Han Empire army took advantage of the situation, they would choose the two barracks at Jiudaoguai and Fengshulin for a sneak attack.
goal.
In order to avoid worries, General Gore deployed at least 30,000 rangers outside Wuchao City to contain the Han soldiers in Wuchao City.
What is the concept of thirty thousand rangers?
You must know that the total number of cavalry in Wuchao City is just over a thousand. General Gore used 30,000 cavalry to contain the enemy forces in Wuchao City. It can be said that he has made sufficient preparations.
In addition to the 30,000 cavalry, Jiudaoguai and Fengshulin have also done adequate defense work. If the Han Empire's army does not go, they will definitely be attacked head-on if they try to take advantage of the situation...
…
A wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks.
General Gore never dreamed that the Han army, which had never dared to go out to fight in the city, would make a desperate move and use only one thousand light cavalry and five hundred heavy armored cavalry. Moreover, there were also forty super strong men who protected the emperor of the Han Empire.
who.
What General Gore didn't expect was that Wuchao City would actually regard Tanbao Barracks as a sneak attack target.
Just as he was approaching the Dark Forest, General Gore had already received the news that the Han Empire's army had been dispatched. The 30,000 Crusaders' cavalry were unable to stop them, and they were marching all the way to the Tanbao barracks with overwhelming force.
When General Gore got the news, it was too late to rush back to the Tanbao barracks for rescue. After weighing the pros and cons, he simply did nothing and killed the tens of thousands of Huns cavalry hidden in the dark forest, and then killed a carbine.
It has to be said that General Gore's idea is very perfect. As long as he defeats the Huns cavalry in the dark forest and then fights back, even if the Tanbao barracks is captured by the Han Empire's army, it will only be an isolated city. He only needs to send tens of thousands of
The cavalry is stationed between Tanbao Barracks and Wuchao City, cutting off the connection between the two. When the time comes, he can do whatever he wants.
When General Gore conquered the three barracks, he used the tactic of siege by rangers, turning Wuchao City into an isolated city.
Although he thought so, General Gore still felt a little anxious. He knew very well that once the Tanbao barracks was occupied, Wuchao City would gain breathing space, and both troops and food would be replenished. At that time, it would be necessary to
If you want to capture Wuchao City, you will have to spend some effort.
What made General Gore most uneasy was that the military operations in Wuchao City surprised him, because during the invasion for more than a year, the armies of the Han Empire mostly fought passively and rarely took the initiative to attack.
This time, the opponent actually used a handful of heavy armored cavalry and countless high-level warriors, which showed that the opponent was taking desperate measures.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, it will break General Gore's military layout in the Han Empire.
At this time, General Gore wished he could spread his wings and fly back to Tanbao Barracks, but his reason told him that he could not do this.
The Hun cavalry in the dark forest made it difficult for General Gore to sleep and eat. They were like a sword hanging above their heads and could be cut down at any time.
In fact, what worries General Gore the most is the Huns. If they retreat at this time, if the Huns learn the news and send troops to pursue them, then the Crusaders may be annihilated.
Now, the only option is to solve the big problem of the Huns first.
General Gore is an extremely good general. He has deep knowledge of how to lead troops. He knows very well that the Crusaders were able to occupy the vast territory of the Han Empire with overwhelming force. The main credit was due to the decay of the Han Empire, not the Crusaders.
good at fighting.
The Huns, both nomadic people, also possessed terrifying mobility. Once they set foot on the territory of the Han Empire, their destructive power would far exceed that of the Han army in Wuchao City.
The presence of the Hun cavalry in the dark forest gave General Gore a chill in his throat.
Now, the only way out is to kill the hidden danger of the Huns in one go, then kill Wuchao City, and then find a way to regain the Tanbao Barracks.
At this time, General Gore was certain that the Tanbao Barracks was not safe, because no one knew the current situation of the Tanbao Barracks better than him.
Tanbao Barracks is the barracks with the largest number of soldiers among the three major barracks. It is also where General Gore is stationed. There are 90,000 troops. In this expedition against the Huns, a full 80,000 cavalry were used, and the rest were infantry.
, there are also some handymen, etc., but there is no combat effectiveness at all.
In fact, if there are 10,000 infantrymen of the Han Empire, it is more than enough to stop 50,000 infantrymen from attacking the city. After all, the quality of the infantry of the Han Empire is world-famous. But the problem is that the Crusaders are good at cavalry.
The role on the battlefield is minimal. Usually, they mainly manage the city and do some war preparations. The actual combat experience can almost be ignored. If you want to rely on such infantry to resist the fierce infantry of the Han Empire, even if there are natural dangers to defend, it is probably a defense.
Can't live...
Must be resolved quickly!
At this time, the sky was glowing and a red sun was rising. In the dark forest, there was a sharp sound of horse hooves, and the earth shook.
Obviously, the opponent is ready for battle.
The arrow must be fired when it is on the string!
"Kill!" General Gore drew out his sharp saber, jumped onto his horse, and let out an earth-shattering roar.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
…
Eighty thousand cavalrymen, with high morale and loud killing sounds, swept over the horizon like a rolling black flood.
Thousands of horses galloped, flying sand and rocks covered the sky and blocked the sun.
The war drums beat and the earth trembles...
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
…
Eighty thousand crusaders formed a huge battle formation and surrounded the Dark Forest.
According to intelligence, the number of such Huns cavalry in the Dark Forest is between 30,000 and 50,000. Whether it is 30,000 or 50,000, the Crusaders have an absolute advantage in numbers.
In addition, the Crusaders have a very obvious advantage - experience.
During the more than a year of conquests in the north and south, every Crusader cavalry went through many hardships and became an extremely high-quality soldier. However, although the Huns had fought against the Han Empire in the past few years, they were defeated all the way.
, has never won a victory, and there is a huge gap between them and the Crusaders in terms of combat experience and courage.
However, the Crusaders did not expect that the courage of an army comes from the generals who lead the troops.
As the saying goes, if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging in a nest.
Now, 50,000 Huns are led by Zhou Sen, and Zhou Sen, in the hearts of the Huns, is beyond the existence of God. You know, even the king of martial arts in the Xiongnu prairie died under Zhou Sen's long sword.
.
Not only did General Gore not expect that Zhou Sen would appear from Zhenshuiguan in Wuchao City to lead tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, but he also did not expect that hundreds of red bulls would participate in the battle.
The ground trembled.
Five hundred red bulls lined up in a row, like a thick red line moving at high speed in the wilderness. Behind them, thousands of Huns cavalry raised their sabers high and shouted...
…
When the red tide surged on the horizon, the Crusaders thought it was the light reflected from the Hun cavalry bathed in the morning glow. However, they soon discovered that it was not the morning glow, but red bulls with muscles as strong as stones.
The Crusaders knew nothing about the Red Bull, but the Red Bull's majestic body like a hill and its extremely aggressive horns clearly told them that these giant blood-red bulls were definitely not easy to mess with.
Fooled!
Seeing the fierce red bulls running in a row, General Gore was shocked. At this moment, he understood that he had been fooled. The other party had been hiding in the dark forest and waiting to lure them to the bait.
People like Gore immediately realized that they had fallen into a carefully laid trap.
The current situation is extremely dangerous. Once the Crusaders' battle formation is broken up by those tyrannical red bulls, a chain reaction will inevitably occur. The entire army formation is likely to avalanche, and the Huns' army that followed the cattle will become Crusaders.
nightmare.
Seeing the red bulls rushing over in a row, Gore gritted his teeth, waved his sword sharply, and roared loudly.
In Gore's roar, dozens of cavalry behind him moved, shooting at the Red Bull like an arrow from the string.
These dozens of people were the masters who accompanied the Crusaders. They mainly killed the opponent's powerful generals, and now, they had to tear a hole in the herd.
As long as the cattle are killed, the group's problems will be solved.
kill!
kill!
kill!
…
A big man with a huge spear in his hand galloped on horseback. When he was less than thirty feet away from the red bull, he suddenly jumped up, thrust the giant spear in his hand in the air, let out a thrilling whistling sound, and stabbed a red bull head-on.
…
Duke the pitcher.
Seeing the big man rushing over first, the crusaders behind him let out earth-shattering cheers.
This man with a giant spear has a great background. He is a Duke in the Kingdom of Heaven. He is born with supernatural powers. A giant spear weighs hundreds of kilograms. He can hit the target with a hundred hits. He has the courage to be invincible.
A strong bull broke out from the herd and rushed towards the Duke, the pitcher. The bull was extremely eye-catching among the herd.
Every time the blood-red bull ran, the ground shook, which was thrilling.
"Zhou Sen is here!"
Just when the bull and the magic pitcher Duke were less than ten feet away, suddenly, there was a loud shout, and a young man with flying long hair jumped out of the bull's belly, and a sharp long sword with a severed head drew a bright light in the air.
Like a bolt from the blue.
Crazy murderous aura surged in the air.
The Duke, the great pitcher, straightened his arms, and the tip of his spear actually rubbed against the air due to its speed, causing a blazing flame to rise.
Long hair flying.
That sharp thunderbolt struck head-on.
Peng!
There was a muffled sound, and a circle of ripples seemed to spread in the air, forming a fierce wind, like thousands of blades scraping across the face.
The magic pitcher Duke flew out.
At this moment, an astonishing scene appeared. The strong bull actually accelerated and ran wildly, catching up with the Duke of the pitcher who was flying upside down in the air. His limbs suddenly jumped, and the huge body flew into the air. The sharp horns flew straight
Inserted into the chest of the great pitcher Duke.
The body of Duke the Great Pitcher was still hanging on the bull's horns. The bull's head just shook slightly. The body of Duke The Great Pitcher left and fell into pieces, with rain of blood flying...
Five hundred red bulls ran headlong into the Crusaders.
The powerful body of Red Bull was not afraid of swords and guns at all. With the impact of its huge body, the 80,000 Crusaders were like plowing the ground. In an instant, people were turned upside down and screamed in agony.
The death of the Duke the Divine Pitcher boosted the morale of the cavalry in Wuchao City. Amidst the shouts of killing, the 50,000 cavalrymen charged in along with the 500 red bulls, chopping vegetables and melons along the way, and they were invincible.
At the same time, the Crusaders were defeated across the board.
It is worth mentioning here that the Crusaders did not really collapse at the first touch. They also defended to the death. However, the Red Bull was not something ordinary human soldiers could compete with. In this kind of melee, the Red Bull's huge and invulnerable body was an out-and-out killing machine.
.
Rows and rows of Crusader cavalry fell. In just a few breaths, the ground was already covered with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
The 50,000 Huns cavalry, who had already been fighting for a long time, poured into the Crusaders like a torrent of steel and launched an unbridled killing spree.
The Red Bull rushed into the crowd like a meat grinder, destroying everything. In an instant, the Crusaders, who had been panicked because of the murder of the great pitcher Duke, began to collapse. They turned around and ran backwards. This time, they ran with the Crusaders charging behind.
The cavalry collided with each other, and for a moment, they were overturned.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Zhou Sen and Shan Yushen took the lead in charging into the battle and advanced with great victory.
Seeing Zhou Sen rushing towards him, the frightened General Gore knew that the situation was over and left under the protection of a group of guards.
Gore originally wanted to hold on, but there were no positional defense facilities here at all, and wars often do not rely on human willpower.
When Gore retreated and the Chinese army moved, many generals immediately lost their fighting spirit and began to flee. The soldiers without their generals were like headless flies crowded together and running backwards. However, their battle formation was in chaos.
They restrained each other, either stepping under the iron hooves of the red bull or dying under the sharp knife. In the air, broken limbs and broken arms flew across the sky, the sky was filled with blood mist, and the strong smell of blood filled every inch of the wasteland...
…
The defeat was just the beginning.
When General Gore hurriedly retreated to regroup, the Crusader cavalry behind them was defeated in front of them and scrambled to escape. This run was out of control, and the entire Crusader cavalry formation immediately collapsed.
The wasteland was a mess, with cries and screams everywhere.
After the unbridled ravages of the Red Bull herd, every Crusader cavalry became frightened. They had no idea that after leaving the edge of the Dark Forest, five hundred Red Bulls retreated into the Dark Forest.
The 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry soldiers divided into several groups and pursued the victory with high morale. They pursued for dozens of miles until they reached the foot of Wuchao City, killing as many as 50,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 20,000 prisoners.
From Wuchao City to the edge of the Dark Forest, there are discarded armors, swords, and bloody corpses everywhere.
Eighty thousand Crusader cavalry disappeared into thin air. They were like frightened birds, desperately fleeing in the wilderness.
At the end of the battle, there were corpses of Crusaders along the way. The corpses piled up like mountains, with feathers everywhere...
It is worth mentioning here that the defenders of Wuchao City also made great contributions.
When the Crusaders were defeated near Wuchao City, thousands of Huns cavalry shouted Zhou Sen's name, which excited Wuchao City. General Wu Yuan ordered that Jingua Tianjin personally led 100,000 infantry, which was almost overwhelming.
He went out and used the human sea tactic to hunt the Crusaders in the wilderness. At this time, the 30,000 rangers originally stationed outside Wuchao City were restrained by the Lu Axe of the Tanbao Barracks...
The folk from Wuchao City helped bury the corpses and dragged the corpses to the grassland in horse-drawn carriages. They dug huge pits on the grassland and worked for half a month. Some of the corpses were stinking before they were able to finish burying the corpses.
In this war that lasted for more than a year, the Han Empire finally won a victory, and this victory became a turning point for the entire Han Empire. Of course, some historians believe that the Battle of Zhenshuiguan was the decisive battle of the Han Empire.
The real turning point of the empire, these are all things for later...
