The cavalry of the Han army formed dozens of conical formations with every 500 people, and they entered Yuan Jun and Wuhuan in three directions. Although these conical formations were small, their impact force should not be underestimated, and they were more flexible. ,
Although Yuan Jun is not at the same level as the Han cavalry in terms of equipment, training, morale, etc., the cavalry is the best among them, far from comparable to ordinary troops. The Wuhuan people are also fierce in history. Facing the brave Han cavalry, They have not yet reached the point of collapse, a melee immediately unfolded,
At this time, the armored cavalry had rushed back and forth again, opening up a bloody road in the middle of the battlefield. This is a real bloody road. The road is full of dead corpses that are trampled into mud. There are people and horses, and they are no longer separated from each other. , The armored cavalry only rushed back and forth twice, Yuan Jun and Wuhuan cavalry lost 30,000, but the armored cavalry did not continue to charge, but went straight to the trench north.
It may be unbelievable to say that the loss of the armored cavalry is only four spears in two rushes back and forth. These four spears were knocked off by Yan Liang alone. The power of the armored cavalry can be seen. In fact, Even a fierce like Yan Liang almost fell into the hands of the armored cavalry, but any unit has its weaknesses. The weakness of the armored cavalry lies in its lack of durability, and it is difficult to stop at will during the impact.
Now, they have rushed back and forth two times. Whether it is a man or a horse, the physical consumption is very huge. More importantly, the enemy and us are in a melee on the battlefield. If they rush in again at this time, many of their colleagues will suffer. To accidental injury, and the result of accidental injury by the armored cavalry means death,
The Han infantry in the trenches had already seen their reinforcements, and immediately recognized a few passages and let their comrades enter the trenches. The trenches were very wide enough for them to remove their armor and take a good rest. They blocked the enemy’s attack, but the armored cavalry did not have time to rest, because Gao Lan brought thirty thousand Yuan Jun infantrymen and killed him from the north.
The mounds in front of the trenches have been gradually leveled out during the fight with Yuan Jun, and the trenches were dug very urgently. The north and south sides are gentle slopes. The trenches were dug into this way to save time and convenience. Retreat, now it provides convenience for the armored cavalry,
The armored cavalry had just entered the trench, and before they had time to unarm and rest, they saw Yuan Jun coming from the north. So, the leader of the colonel with a spear, the army directly crossed the trench and charged towards Gaolan. Compared with the lightly armored cavalry, the armored cavalry Cavalry is less mobile, but it is much stronger than infantry.
Gao Lan destroyed the trebuchet positions of the Han army at the cost of 20,000 people. He planned to take a break, but when he heard the killings in the south, he guessed that it was Yan Liang’s army returning to aid Yecheng. Gao Lan made a decisive decision. I planned to give the Han army a double-sided attack, so I urged the soldiers to come all the way. I just saw the trench dug by the Han army, and before they had time to order the charge, I saw four cavalry units out of the trench.
The shiny scales on the armor of the armored cavalry were already covered with blood, emitting a dazzling and weird light in the sun, like a group of death gods suddenly emerging from the ground, which surprised Gao Lan, who was urging the soldiers to speed up.
Gao Lan naturally knew the superiority of cavalry over infantry. He thought that only a small part of Han infantry was blocking Yan Liang. He didn't expect a large group of heavily armed cavalry to appear. He immediately dared not to move forward and shouted "Retreat,". Pull the horse and leave,
However, he rode a horse and could withdraw calmly, and his men were all infantry, but two legs could not run four legs, and he was soon overtaken by the armored cavalry. It was another bloody massacre. These Yuan Jun infantrymen Even the hope of fleeing is very slim. Under the impact of the armored cavalry, there are not many people standing.
The Han's armored cavalry did not rush to kill, but returned to the trench, leaving the remaining Yuan Jun infantry to flee towards Yecheng in panic. After several rounds of assault, the armored cavalry was extremely tired. What they need most now is rest.
At this time, the Xianbei cavalry in Taiyuan County also needed rest.
At dawn, Kuitou swung his army southward, and soon encountered a group of 3,000 Han cavalrymen 20 miles northeast of Daling City. Kuitou was very excited. He pointed his whip towards the south and shouted: "kill,"
Bu Dugen came out, and led his 20,000 cavalrymen to rush out. When the Han army saw the Xianbei cavalry rushing over, they reined their horses and left. At that time, the Han cavalry suddenly took off their bows, galloping forward, and shooting arrows back at the same time.
This ability to ride and shoot was originally the master of the grassland people, but after being equipped with stirrups, an ordinary Han soldier can achieve the skills they only mastered when they grew up on horseback with a little training.
The reflexive shooting of the Han cavalry was fast and accurate. After one round, hundreds of Xianbei warriors fell off their horses. Bu Dugen saw that the cavalry of the Han cavalry attacked first. He was furious. He also took off his bow and arrow, but Annoyed to find that it was impossible to shoot the Han army, so I had to raise the whip and beat the horse fiercely, hoping to catch up with the Han army.
However, the horses of the Han cavalry are the same as their mounts. They are all from the desert, with fast speed and good endurance. The two sides always maintain a distance of 300 steps. The Han army turns around and shoots a few arrows after running for a while, chasing after the roots. If they didn’t, they broke many men and horses, and their bows and arrows were not up to the range, and they couldn’t even make a counterattack. They only chased behind the ass of the Han cavalry in vain.
Seeing that we arrived in Daling City just ahead, Bu Dugen had lost more than two thousand people, but he hadn't even touched the pony tail of the Han army. These two thousand people were all members of Bu Dugen tribe and were his direct descendants. , Makes Bu Dugen distressed. This is the case on the grassland. You have soldiers in your hand and you become the leader. If you don’t have soldiers, you can’t count as nothing. These soldiers are actually herdsmen, and you lose more than two thousand at once. A herder is unbearable for Bu Dugen,
Budugen suddenly became furious, pointed towards Daling City, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Rush into the city and arrogate for three days."
These Xianbei cavalry came to fight in the Central Plains. One reason was to obey the orders of the Great Khan. Another reason was to snatch the wealth of the children. The promise of three days of military service was more attractive than any reward. Therefore, more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry sent out. Screaming strangely, brandishing a scimitar and bow and arrow, rushing towards Daling City,
The north gate of Daling City suddenly opened, and three thousand Han cavalrymen rushed into the city calmly. At this time, Bu Dugen and his men also killed him, and the Han cavalry still maintained 300 The distance of the steps, before they continue to move forward, the city is already raining arrows, shooting the Xianbei cavalrymen on their backs, and the city gate is slowly closed.
Budugen looked at the not-so-tall city wall, but he was helpless. There was no necessary siege equipment, not even a long ladder. It was a joke to let the cavalry go to attack the city. Budugen could only demonstrate under the city. , I didn’t dare to get too close to the city wall, because the crossbows of the Han army on the city’s head could easily shoot 400 steps away.
Finally, the leader of the army swept over, and 230,000 people lined up under the city of Daling. The darkness was overwhelming. It was very spectacular. After listening to Bu Dugen’s report, the leader sneered and turned around and ordered: "Siege,"
The rear squad in Xianbei carried a large number of siege equipment supported by Yuan Shao, such as ladders, rush vehicles, and soldiers who instructed them to use these equipment. Facing this small Daling city, the leader was confident that he could be in one place. Take it within the hour, and then it is the time for the three armies to revel. The wealth and women in the city allow them to take it.
At this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes suddenly behind them, and another Han cavalry rushed over. Rockets soaked with pine oil accurately fired at the slow-moving siege equipment to escort the attack. The people in the city’s equipment were all forced by Yuan Shao’s civil servants. These civil servants had no interest in the behavior of the Xianbei people. When they were attacked by the Han army, they immediately dispersed.
The team in charge of the back team was the last big defeat. Because of the defeat in the first battle, the Xianbei army's spirit was frustrated. The leader was rushed to the back team to do some rough work. Since it is the back team, it must be at the back of the team. Naturally, others won’t be able to gain much benefit from taking down the city. Therefore, whether it is fighting between tribes or harassing the Han realm, the last thing the leaders of the Xianbei tribe do not want to be placed in the rear team.
However, Queji had experienced the greatness of the Han army. Not only did he have no complaints about the leader assigning himself to the rear team, but also a little grateful. Although the rear team did not get much benefit, it was relatively safer.
What made Queji unexpectedly was that in the face of the 230,000 Xianbei army, the Han people actually dared to send Qingqi to attack their rear team.
In fact, as early as when Yuan Shao transported a batch of siege equipment out of Taiyuan and gave them to the Xianbei people, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun knew that the greatest threat to the cities occupied by the Han army was the siege. Equipment, once the city is broken, the civilians in the city will be the first to suffer. This is the last thing they want to see.
Therefore, in the case of very tight troops, Gao Shun personally led a group of cavalry to set off from Qixian quietly, preparing to burn the siege equipment on the way, but they were strictly guarded against the problems along the way, Gao Shun and the others did not find it. It was a great opportunity to start, until the Xianbei people were in a good position below Daling City, and the fault also relaxed their vigilance, Gao Shun took the opportunity to rush over.
These siege machines have always been regarded as treasures by the leader. He not only has to learn how to use these machines, but also how to make them
He knew very well that if these siege equipment were lost, he would be unable to escape the punishment of the leader. He couldn't help but anxiously, while ordering fire fighting, he led his troops to meet this group of Han cavalry.
