Although the Daqin infantry army is strong, it is not blindly fighting to death. Seeing that this group of "horse thieves" have been trapped, their footsteps have begun to slow down, but each step is extraordinarily firm, and with the help of heavy armor, they make a loud sound like a loud noise, which is absolutely shocking. Not lost to the momentum produced by the galloping horses, especially the psychological pressure, made many brave prairie knights also discolored.
Just when the Great Qin Army was gradually approaching, there were still dozens of steps between the two sides. The Daqin soldiers shouted together and threw out the spears in their hands. This kind of warfare made Tuoba Jun unexpected. The cavalry of the Sixth Army of the Han Army also used spears, but that was originally their long-range attack weapon. Their real killer was a sharp saber, while the Daqin soldiers threw out the only weapon in their hands. The courage caught the nomadic cavalry by surprise.
The spear used by the Daqin army was about one foot and five feet long, and it was very heavy. The sharp tip of the spear easily pierced the bodies of the warriors of the steppe, and even nailed them to the ground together with men and horses. What's more terrible is that countless spears are nailed to the ground to form a "small forest", making it very difficult for the horses to gallop and jump, and they lose their proud mobility.
At this moment, the Great Qin Army Group suddenly separated a path, and a group of strong men armed with double-edged axes rushed out of the army. The broad axe is heavy, and the axe is sharp, and it can split a person in half with one axe. The nomadic cavalry who lost their mobility became lambs to be slaughtered. The axe was raised and the axe fell, and the flesh and blood flew across the scene. The scene was tragic.
Tuoba Jun sighed deeply, and was about to draw a knife to kill himself. Suddenly he saw a group of black-clad and black-armored cavalry rushing into the rear of the Great Qin Army, slaying a bloody path. The soldiers from the rear of the Great Qin Army were in the forefront just now. Now, the spears in their hands have been thrown out as throwing guns, they have become defenseless, and they have become the rear. The scimitar used by the cavalry who rushed over looked no different from those used by the "horse thieves", but it was extremely sharp. Although the armor on the soldiers of Daqin was thick and heavy, it was useless in front of this kind of scimitar.
The cavalry that suddenly emerged from this team quickly blazed a trail among Daqin's army. Tuoba Jun, who was already thinking that he was going to die, suddenly saw hope, and he swung his knife to greet him without hesitation.
The Daqin swordsmen and axemen who were wantonly beheading the "Horse Thief" were suddenly startled, and it was too late to turn around and fight the enemy. The cavalry came very quickly and swung their knives directly behind them. Regardless of the armor on their bodies or the sharp axes in their hands, they were extremely heavy, which seriously affected their mobility. There was no problem when they hugged each other. When they were dispersed, their combat effectiveness immediately dropped by a notch, and they soon fell into disarray.
The first to bear the brunt is the Silesian Legion, which has not been established for a long time, and its combat effectiveness is relatively weak compared to other legions, but it is the famous Daqin warrior Norric who leads this legion. Norrick, who was under the enemy's back, was furious and turned to kill with a giant axe.
Before Norrick rushed forward, a dark horse galloped from the cavalry opposite, and the young general on the horse flicked his spear and flashed past him. Norrick still carried the big axe and ran forward for three or four steps, and fell to the ground, blood drenched in the back of his neck, and a big hole had long been pierced.
Seeing that the young general took the lead, the Daqin soldier was either dead or wounded at the gunpoint. He kept rushing into Gai Xin, before he reined in his horse and shouted, "Patriarch Tuoba, don't leave at this time.
Tuobajun had already seen the visitor clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Thank you, General Ma for your rescue!"
The young general snorted coldly: "If it's not for Yan'er, who will save you!"
Tuobajun was embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he waved his hand sadly and followed the young general to kill him.
That young general was Ma Chao, and the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Western Regions Army drawn from the concession and Kangju were led by him. Originally, Ma Chao had found a concealed place on the border to station, and then sent someone to contact Tuoba Jun, but he heard that he had already killed him in Daqin. Ma Chao was worried that Tuobajun would be wrong, so he had to lead his troops to rescue him.
Although both are cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Western Region Legion cannot be compared with the cavalry of the Sixth Army. As far as the weapons that can be equipped, short-throwing spears, cavalry crossbows, cavalry bows and sabers are the standard equipment of the Sixth Army, while the cavalry of the Western Region Army is only equipped with a cavalry bow and a scimitar. The cavalry bow is hard to kill the Daqin army, and the cavalry crossbow must be used to penetrate this heavy armor. Although the material used for the scimitar is the same as that of the saber, the effect of the stab is quite different.
Liu Xin's arrangement was also out of consideration of confidentiality, to prevent advanced weapons and equipment from being detected or even stolen by the enemy. However, such a cavalry made Ma Chao's command very uncomfortable. After all, some of the tactics he usually trained could not be realized. Otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely have to kill three in and three out to be enjoyable.
Now, Ma Chao didn't dare to fall in love with the battle, he took Tuoba Jun and turned around, then killed him from the same way, and soon approached the Parthian border. When the cavalry of the Western Region Legion led by Ma Chao just crossed the border, there was a stern horn. Numerous men and horses suddenly slew out from the roadside, and arrows shot at Tuobajun's nomadic cavalry like locusts. Just now caught in the encirclement of the Daqin army, the nomadic cavalry had suffered heavy casualties, and they were hit by the arrow rain. Nine stops had been reached in ten stops, and 40,000 people returned alive but only a few thousand, and all of them were injured. The only thing to be thankful for is that the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Western Regions Corps had few casualties.
Since Liu Xin started his army, he has never suffered such a fiasco. Although only the nomadic tribes on the grasslands were lost this time, both the Xiongnu and Xianbei are now regarded as the official Dahan people, and their fiasco can naturally be counted as a fiasco for the Han army. The root cause of this fiasco was that Tuobajun was eager to work and did not follow Liu Xin's orders.
Despite Tuobayan's relationship, Ma Chao still didn't dare to favor favoritism. As soon as the army withdrew to safety, he immediately ordered Tuobajun to be taken to Beitian, awaiting Liu Xin's disposal.
At this time, Ban Thiouer had already raised a batch of grain and grass, plus the first batch of grain shipped from Uzbeli and the proceeds from Tuobajun's looting all the way, enough for more than 300,000 troops for two months. Now that the road to Daqin has been opened up, and Jia Xu, a competent minister, is responsible for urging food and grass, Liu Xin felt that the time had come, and immediately decided to set off for the concession to organize a decisive battle against Daqin.
Hearing that Liu Xin was about to go on the expedition, both Ban Thiouer and Zhu Rong seemed a little excited, and they wanted to go together if they were clamoring, especially Zhu Rong, who always felt that he was a martial artist and should be shown on the battlefield. In the past few days, the two people fought openly and secretly for a while, and then became affectionate like old friends for many years. Liu Xin has two big heads, and of course he dare not bring them to the front line.
Liu Xin frowned and said: "I am going now, and there is still a major event that is difficult to let go of. You need to do it. You can help me when this is done."
Both Ban Taoer and Zhu Rong were overjoyed and asked in unison: "What's the matter?"
"Don't think that I don't care about Yu'er's safety." Liu Xin said sternly. "If I don't find out Yu'er's whereabouts for one day, even if I invade the city of Rome, I won't feel at ease. Let this matter be left to others, and I can rest assured. No, it seems that I still have to work hard for the two of you. Are there any problems?"
Ban Taoer and Zhu Rong looked at each other and said together, "No problem!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Then you stay in Beitian. If Yuer really wants to join the army, this is his only way. You must find him for me!"
However, Jia Xu accepted the order to urge the grain and grass, and did not dare to neglect. Starry night rushed to the fortress of Uzbeli. Just after passing Dawanguishan City, he encountered the second batch of squadrons. All came from the old army under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. These veterans are equipped with old-style armor, but they just walked slowly and swallowed them slowly, without knowing that the soldiers in front were waiting for the emergency.
Because these old troops were immediately enlisted into the army after enlisting, they did not participate in rigorous training, and they did not fully understand the military discipline of the Han army. But they have two personal feelings. First, officials at all levels never beat or scold soldiers, and the other is that the food for the Han army is surprisingly good, even better than they eat in their own homes. These veterans did not realize the care of them by the court from these two personal feelings. Instead, they became more comfortable and tired. This is also the main reason for the slow transportation of grain and grass.
In fact, the behavior of these old soldiers has violated Dahan's military regulations. However, in the Han army, these situations have never happened on a large scale in the past. Even if they happen occasionally, they must go through strict trial procedures. Officers at all levels have no right to convict guilt at will. As evidence of a later conviction.
Liu Xin had no intention of letting the Guard Corps enter the frontal battlefield, so he did not equip them with the equipment of the regular Corps. Even the officers transferred from the Corps were not the backbones of the major Corps, even the commanders and deputy commanders. appointment. Liu Xin's inadequate attention to the guards is also an important factor in today's situation.
Now, Jia Xu has the discretionary power granted by Liu Xin himself, and there is no need to go through trial procedures to dispose of these old troops. Seeing the slack look of the old army, Jia Xu couldn't help being furious. He was about to kill a few people to show his example. Suddenly, he saw two people tied to a food truck. One of them was blindfolded. It was Brother Xiahou.
Jia Xu knew the Xiahou brothers and knew that they were enlisted by Liu Xinte. Seeing the two brothers tied to the car, Jia Xu couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "Did they deliberately make troubles?"
