The army of more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans was like a tide, moving forward step by step. When those in front fell, those behind would catch up. They shouted the war cry that had been passed down from ten years ago to this day, and walked on with scars all over their bodies.
Looking at the bloody corpses of the enemy, they charged forward bravely one after another.
Hu Qi was completely stunned.
Whether locally or looking at the entire battlefield, they have more troops than the Han army. In many places on the battle line, several Hu cavalrymen besieged a Han army - the Han army rushed too fast and too fiercely.
Situations of disconnection between front and back are everywhere, and situations where one person is trapped in a battle can also be seen everywhere.
Lu Qiling rode alone to break out of the formation and survived the siege. She relied on martial arts and iron armor, while the Yellow Turban Army relied entirely on the deterrence of their desperate tactics.
The Han army who was trapped in the siege completely ignored the swords and guns swinging around them, and just stared at the opponent in front of them. Although there were many people, Hu Qi, who was targeted by him, hesitated and did not dare to join the siege. Instead, he looked left and right.
He looked like he was about to run away at any moment.
There is no way, he is afraid!
The Han troops who fought later were much inferior in martial arts and eliteness to those who fought before. They were not equipped with the kind of indestructible iron armor, and exaggerated weapons such as chain hammers and horse-cutting swords.
If you surround them, you will definitely be able to successfully deal with them.
But the problem is that the opponent's martial arts skills are inferior, but his fighting spirit is more determined than anyone else. Hu Qi, who is facing the Han army, is sure that as long as he joins the siege, he will be dragged along by the opponent.
He didn't dare to step forward. He just wanted to attract the opponent's attention a little and wait for others to deal with the terrible opponent. But he was afraid of what happened, and the Han army actually roared and rushed forward.
Seeing the fanatical look on his face and the blood all over his body, Hu Qi, who was being targeted, was frightened to death and screamed. He fell off his horse, turned around and ran away.
He is not a coward. As long as the opponent is a normal human being, he will definitely not be frightened and run away. But now it is obvious that these Han soldiers are definitely not normal human beings. Normal humans cannot drag their own intestines to chase the enemy!
The escape immediately caused a chain reaction.
The Han army who lost their opponent had no intention of pursuing them, but turned their heads and cast their fierce gaze on the others.
Hu Qi, who was raising his spear to stab at the murderous gaze on his body, was immediately frightened. He felt a cold air rising from his tailbone and running up to Tianling Gai. His entire back became numb.
It was so cold that my strength suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Help!" With the precedent, the choice between desperate efforts and survival became easier. The second cavalryman made an instant decision, dismounted, threw away his weapon, and joined the fleeing ranks without looking back.
"Stop! Everyone, stop! What are you afraid of? There are only more than 10,000 of them, and we can win even if we fight for heads!" Queji jumped in anger.
Judging from the exchange ratio between the two sides, this strange Han army is not stronger than the previous Han armies, but much worse. The previous Han armies killed the enemy fiercely and attached great importance to their own protection.
In some places, the casualties on both sides even exceeded ten to one, and ten herdsmen had to die in exchange for the life of one Han soldier!
As for the current Han army, although their fighting style is extremely fierce, their combat power is relatively limited. So far, the exchange ratio between the two sides should be three to one. In other words, if the factors of people's hearts are not taken into account, according to the previous
If the situation continues, the Xianbei army can sacrifice 20,000 to 30,000 people to exhaust this enemy force.
However, things like the human heart cannot be ignored after all.
Que Ji can stay calm and analyze carefully, but ordinary Hu Qi don't have this ability. They only know that the opponents they are facing now are a group of people who cannot be killed. Even if they succeed in killing the opponent, there is a high chance that they will be dragged down by the opponent.
Wear a pad on your back.
Therefore, after the tough soldiers at the front were killed one after another, the fighting spirit of the following troops became lower and lower, and the phenomenon of fleeing without fighting could be seen everywhere on the entire front.
"Stop, I am your master! Fight back, the enemy army is less than 10,000! Fight, fight with them!" Seeing that fewer and fewer people are willing to fight, the momentum of the retreat is getting stronger and stronger, and Que Ji's
The shouts already had a tearful tone: "If we win this battle, we won't have to suffer outside the Great Wall! Anyone who escapes again will be killed without mercy!"
He pulled out his scimitar and waved it vigorously in front of him, making a whistling sound.
In the past, when he tried to kill people to establish his power, he could always frighten the herdsmen under his command so that they stood there and trembled. But today, he found that his method was not working. When he and the guards around him chopped down the first
After one person, the other escapees exploded like flies. The blood did not inspire their courage. The only function was to keep them as far away from Lord Queji in Xianbei in the east as possible.
It’s not that Hu Qi didn’t dare to fight hard. Whether it was an armored cavalry that was as majestic as a mountain and made of iron, or a horse-killing sword array with extremely sharp blades and powerful cutting skills, they all dared to rely on the strength of their numbers to step forward.
siege.
But the current Han army is really terrifying. The first person to attack will definitely be regarded as a life-threatening target. There will be no luck at all.
No matter how good the prospects after victory are, they cannot enjoy it without life. In the final analysis, the bravery and desperation of the grassland herders are due to the survival instinct, which is a natural thing. When they encounter opponents who ignore life and death because of their beliefs,
At this time, the survival instinct finally prevailed.
Oh my god! Queji felt a pain in his heart, and something warm, sweet and fishy immediately surged into his throat.
If today's battle is lost, it will no longer be as simple as victory or defeat. Intentionally or coincidentally, Wang Yu's Qingzhou Army carried out all-round suppression in several areas that the grassland people are proud of.
Formation? The Han army didn't use formations. They just rushed up in a swarm and defeated an army of 100,000 people.
Equipment? Iron cavalry and war horse sword formations do have advantages in this regard, but the infantry army coming up behind has no intention of relying on equipment to win.
Courage? In front of this infantry, who dares to boast of courage?
After this battle, the Han Hussars will become a nightmare for the grassland people, and they will no longer have the courage to fight the Han army! Because the Han army is so powerful, with only courage, it can suppress the grassland herdsmen.
Come.
It can't be like this, it can't be like this! Unprecedented glory is clearly right in front of you, how can you miss it?
Despair brings Queji to the brink of collapse.
Several broken soldiers escaped from his horse and were hacked to death by him with his scimitar. A Qianqi Commander ran up to him and tried to explain a few words to his brothers. Maybe he was kind-hearted and wanted to give the adults an idea. Everything
But it didn't matter anymore. Before he could speak, Que Ji raised his hand and slashed his head into the air.
"Those who retreat will take this as an example!" Que Ji shouted crazily, catching the head flying in the air and throwing it into the broken troops. The next moment, he pulled up the war horse high and trampled it with his hoofs.
He killed two other cowards who fled for their lives.
Another wave of rebel soldiers rushed towards them, but they were intercepted by Que Ji and his soldiers Dootou. The soldiers hacked to death the few cowards who ran the fastest, and the blood reminded others of the honor of the prairie people. Standing still and waiting for death was a good idea.
This was a shame. So they raised their weapons and fought with the soldiers supervising the battle.
Taking advantage of the strength of their numbers, the rebels quickly cleared the obstacles on the road. Seeing Que Ji brandishing his sword and shouting, the group simply did not do anything but rushed forward and pulled him off his horse.
With one stroke of his sword, he chopped down the large banner with the horse painted on it.
Toppling the flag is equivalent to announcing the annihilation of the entire army of the Queji Department.
In an instant, the defeated troops surged like a tidal wave, not only overwhelming their own formations, but also disrupting the formations of friendly troops who came up to help in the battle.
Zuonu, the leader of Xianbei in the central region, tried to save the situation and ordered his troops to form formations to protect themselves. But formations were not what the herdsmen were good at. This battle was chaotic from the beginning, and how could he afford to form one in a hurry?
The battle is coming?
"Heaven...is dead!"
"Huang Tian... stand up!"
The fifth battalion of the Yellow Turbans pursued them relentlessly, and the sound of war trumpets was earth-shattering. Every sound was louder and more passionate. To the ears of Xianbei's defeated troops, this was the sound of an urgent call!
Under the pressure of the enemy troops behind them, the defeated soldiers begged, pushed, hit them with shields, and carried them on their shoulders, trying to find an escape route before the Han troops came after them.
Zonu had to order someone to blow the horn for help and asked the Chinese army to support him. Queji's banner had fallen, and Xianrui's more than 10,000 cavalry had all collapsed. If his troops were also overwhelmed, then
The number of defeated troops will reach more than 20,000! There is no need for the Han army to kill them. These defeated troops alone can smash the army into pieces.
"Woo... Wu... Wu Wu!" The horn whimpered, over and over again, like the desperate wail of a ghost.
There was no response from the Chinese army. Maybe there was one, but it couldn't be heard. At this moment, the battle had entered a feverish state, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people at the critical moment of life and death were enough to drown out all other sounds.
"Da Chanyu, Da Chanyu, forward, forward seems to be in danger!" Someone under the commander finally noticed the seriousness of the situation and loudly reported to the leader.
"Use the horn to make contact and ask Que Que whether the two adults, Zuonu, can withstand it!" The leader also realized something was wrong.
The spell-like war trumpet was too loud and exciting, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer. It was completely full of momentum and furious momentum. This was something he had not expected, but he did not believe in the numbers.
The fierce attack of ten thousand cavalrymen was not only blocked in such a short period of time, but was even counterattacked.
Among the 100,000 cavalry, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry on each wing, and the remaining 80,000 cavalry were all in the middle. His intention was to use the human sea tactic to swamp the Han army, regardless of the cost or loss.
This is a perfect plan. It does not require the forwards to defeat the enemy alone. As long as they are tied with the opponent and do not collapse, the mission will be completed when the rear army has solved the cavalry and horse sword formation.
result……
"The forwards are too confused and there is no response, but..." The messenger responsible for contacting various troops on the battlefield reported loudly.
"But what?" The leader's heart suddenly sank, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Send someone to contact Xu You on the mountain and ask him what the specific situation is! Order the central army and the adults on both wings to speed up the attack.
speed!"
There is an observation tower built on the hill where Xu You is located. From there, you can have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield. The signal sent by the flag from the platform can also be transmitted to far away places.
The watchtower responded quickly. The watchman used a signal flag to convey the latest situation. The meaning expressed was very clear, but the faces of the leader and the tribal leaders around him instantly turned pale.
"The great Chanyu, the forward, the forward seems to be unable to withstand it... Lord Queji's flag is no longer visible, Lord Zoonu's flag has retreated to the vicinity of the Han army's giant sword formation, and was attacked from two sides by the Han army...
…”
The voice of the messenger suddenly rose, and in the twilight that was getting thicker than blood, it became even more stern: "No, Lord Zonu's flag has also fallen! The Han army... The Han army has gathered together!"
"Nonsense!" Kuitou shouted in disbelief. He turned over and was actually standing on the saddle.
Wang Yu did not personally lead the army into the battle, but with only more than 10,000 infantry, he defeated the 30,000 cavalry in the vanguard. How is this possible?
"Even if he sends 30,000 pigs to the Han army to kill them, he will still have to kill them for an hour!"
He didn't believe the information Xu You sent back. He wanted to see clearly the enemy's situation for himself. Judging from the sound of war trumpets, the enemy army should be the legendary Yellow Turban Army, a group of mud-legged people who hadn't even washed the mud off their feet.
In front of the prairie warriors, there are always pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. What ability can they have to turn the tide with an outnumbered enemy?
The scene he saw made him despair. He saw that less than one-third of his forward troops were left. The Han army was like locusts, pushing forward along the cavalry formation. The number of prairie cavalry was several times that of the opponent.
They threw their weapons and horses to the enemy and fled in all directions.
The various departments of the Han army that had been cut apart by Hu Qi's human sea tactics began to regroup, first with the horse-killing sword formation, and then with the iron cavalry!
After half a day of fierce fighting, the Han army was once again twisted into one force, with the iron cavalry forming a dense formation as the front, the war horses and sword formations covering the two wings, and the tens of thousands of yellow scarf warriors who were not afraid of life and death as the backbone, rushing towards them.
The leader felt his vision go dark, and a sweet and greasy smell rushed into his throat. He raised his hand, trying to pretend to be calm and soothe his military spirit. But as soon as he raised his hand halfway, he was overwhelmed by a strong feeling of dizziness...
…
In the eyes of Tuoba Liwei and others, the leader standing on the horse shook his head, and then fell down, just like the battle situation at this moment, he fell slumped.
