The two armies are fighting, and as the eyes and ears of the main general, the scout's eyesight is generally good, but it is not much stronger.For the sake of their own safety, they can only observe the opponent's position from a distance, and distinguish the opponent's strength by the level and number of flags.This is how the Huns' judgment of the strength of this Han army was obtained, which has also been a habit for many years, and the scouts did not think too much about it.The generals' evaluation of the strength of the Han army was also based on previous experience.When the two sides got closer, they realized that their prediction was very wrong.The first is that the number of war horses of the Han army is obviously too much.The number of cavalry of the Han army was limited, and the equipment of war horses was even worse than that of the Huns.The Huns had abundant resources of war horses, and a knight would usually be equipped with two or three war horses.If it is a short-distance operation, there is no need to carry too much baggage, and it is generally equipped with one person and two horses as the standard.The Han army had few horses, so it could only be achieved in addition to one war horse per person, and then equipped with two to three percent of the spare horses.However, the number of war horses of the Han army in front of him is amazing, and the number of reserve horses is not less than that of the Huns.The large number of reserve horses also means that the Han army has enough horsepower while maintaining a fast march, and it is not as exhausted as they imagined, and can be crushed with a single blow.Secondly, the war horses of the Han army are not the Han horses they think, they are almost all Hun horses, and some are even taller and stronger than the Hun horses.In the years of the Han-Hungarian War, the reason why the Huns were able to maintain the advantage of cavalry was of course related to their living habits of all soldiers, but in the final analysis, they had an obvious advantage in the resources of war horses.The Central Plains horse is mainly a pack horse, suitable for pulling a cart and carrying weight, but not suitable for riding, as a war horse, far less excellent than the Hun horse.Even the high-grade war horses produced in the border counties were at best equal to ordinary Hun horses.But now, the Han army rode all Hun horses, and even the reserve horses were Hun horses.The superiority of the Huns in the quality of their horses was also gone.In other words, the cavalry of the Han army in front of them were no worse than the Huns in terms of quantity and quality in terms of war horses.It's even a little better.Coupled with their superiority in equipment, the overall strength has surpassed that of the Huns.This was something that the Huns had not thought of in advance.Now they found out, but it's too late.With the arrow on the bow, the Huns had no chance of turning back.Besides, the only people who discovered this were those who rushed to the front.The vast majority of people didn't realize this at all, and were happily rushing over, unable to stop at all.The sound of trumpets and war drums rang out in unison, stirring in the sky above.The war horses galloped, the Han army and the Huns quickly approached, the two sides were one hundred and fifty paces apart, and the crossbow knights who rushed to the front pulled the crossbow machine and shot the first wave of arrows.The three-stone crossbow has a range of one hundred and twenty paces, and when fired on the back of a galloping horse, the range can be further increased.When the arrow hits the Huns, it still has enough lethality.Enough to shoot through the leather armor of the Huns.But the Huns' bows had a range of only sixty to eighty paces, and in the face of the first wave of attacks from the crossbow knights, they were not prepared at all, and they were shot down before they even had time to raise their shields.Nearly 100 knights fell from their horses, and there was a flaw in the formation of the Huns.Without waiting for the Huns to react to what was going on, the crossbow knight controlled the war horse under his crotch, slowed down, and rushed forward by the light cavalry with strong bows.The light cavalry rode and shot, shooting three or four arrows in one go.Hit the Huns again with a denser array of arrows, widening the flaws.The two sides were thirty paces apart, and the light cavalry also slowed down, and the assault cavalry armed with spears and halberds galloped wildly.rushed to the front and rushed unstoppably into the Huns.Three hundred paces away, but in just a few dozen breaths, the knights of the Han army relied on exquisite cooperation to complete three consecutive blows, giving the Huns a head-on blow.The Huns, who were at the brunch, were attacked one after another with strong bows and crossbows.Hundreds of people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the originally smooth formation was stagnant, and they couldn't help but be a little flustered.In such a situation, they met the assault cavalry head-on, and suddenly the people turned on their backs and were in chaos.Some of them didn't have time to put away their bows and arrows, and although some of them drew their swords, they had no ability to resist in the face of the spears and halberds in the hands of the Han army, and they were stabbed to the ground one after another.The assault cavalry galloped wildly, wielding spears and halberds, and harvested the lives of the Huns like mowing grass.Under their cover, the light cavalry and crossbow knights hidden in the formation fired indiscriminately, suppressing the Huns with all their might.The light cavalry drew their bows and shot at the sight of the Huns, but the crossbow cavalry was very selective, picking as many valuable targets as possible.The crossbow is powerful and far, and it is expected to aim at the mountain, and the hit rate is much higher than that of ordinary strong bows.Under their fire, many Hun warriors and officers were shot and killed before they could see their shadows, and lost their combat effectiveness.The Han army was like a bamboo, and it drove straight in, quickly wedged into the Chinese army of the Huns.Regardless of the danger, Gongsun Rongnu stood on the back of a war horse with superb riding skills, and shouted excitedly while shooting arrows.He knew the cavalry adaptation, but what the effect of the adaptation was, he saw it for the first time.In fact, this was also the first actual combat of the reorganized Han cavalry.The effect was so good that Gongsun Rongnu was ecstatic.The drums of the "kill, kill, kill" war became more intense, and the morale of the Han army was like a rainbow, and they fought bravely.Liang Xiao held his clairvoyance, looked at the figure of Gongsun Rongnu standing on horseback in the distance, and shook his head with a smile.He couldn't hear what Gongsun Rongnu was calling, but judging from the way he was dancing, the battle should have gone relatively smoothly.However, this guy is too flamboyant, standing on horseback, isn't it the target of the Huns At this time, the two wings are also in contact with the outflanked Huns, the Han army is not entangled, and after shooting a rain of arrows with the Huns, they disengage from the Huns, let the Huns surround behind them, and rush forward to kill with all their might.The two groups of Huns met behind the Han army, but found that the situation was not as optimistic as they imagined, and the Han army advanced very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they fell five or six hundred paces.Not to mention chasing and killing the Han army, it's good to catch up.Both Hun commanders felt that something was not quite right.They are all veteran generals who have been in battle for a long time, and they have not fought with the Han army once or twice, but this is the first time they have encountered such a strange situation."
Is this a Han Chinese?"
asked one of the commanders."
Judging by the banner and armor, this should be right.But," the other commander touched his face."
But how can their tactics be faster than our Huns" "I also think so." ”The two looked at each other, puzzled.But their little Wang Qu didn't have time to think about it.Before he was mentally ready, the Han army had already appeared in front of him, with a hideous face and bright eyes, killing him like a wolf.Obviously, these Han knights saw his battle banner and came for him.He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered to fight.The guards beside him drew their bows, raised their swords, and let out a silent cry from their mouths, and met them, protecting them in front of Qu Ji."
Killing" Gongsun Rongnu also saw Qu and gave the order to attack almost at the same time.The two sides fought together, swords and spears were raised, and blood was splashed everywhere.Qu Er's personal guard battalion was well-equipped, and its combat power was stronger than that of ordinary Hun cavalry, and the assault cavalry that rushed all the way also felt the pressure.However, not only were they not discouraged, but they were even more excited, roaring in unison, and rushing to kill desperately.The spear was stuck in the enemy's body and could not be drawn, so he drew his sword.When their horses were wounded and fell to the ground, they dismounted and fought with their shields.For a moment, the sound of horns, war drums, shouts of killing, and the sound of swords and shields clashing were all mixed together.Arrows flew over their heads, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, but no one bothered to look at it.They roared, sprinting their way through the ditch.Qu He was blocked in his way, and there was a chaotic crowd in front of him, and the horses were coiled, rushing against each other, making bursts of neighing, but there was nowhere to go.More and more Han troops surrounded the canal, slashing with knives and shooting arrows, one after another, never dying.Gongsun Rongnu also came up with the personal guard camp to kill, and the two sides were entangled and fought hard like enemies of life and death.Seeing the stagnant battle flag in front of him, Liang Xiao showed a helpless wry smile.He knew that Gongsun Rongnu must have seen a worthy goal and forgot his due responsibility.He ordered to adjust his direction, avoid the already chaotic battlefield, maintain his speed, and continue to charge.The cavalry lost its speed and was inferior to the foot soldiers.However, when it comes to foot warfare, the Huns are no match for Gongsun Rongnu.The drums of war sounded, and Liang Xiao led the main force to adjust the direction, swept past the side of Gongsun Rongnu and Qu He, and killed the rear of the Huns.Qu and saw Liang Xiao from a distance, and he was anxious, but he was entangled by Gongsun Rongnu and couldn't get out.Without command, his subordinates were even more chaotic, and they were killed by the Han cavalry led by Liang Xiao.Listening to the sound of horns one after another, Qu and his heart were flustered, and he was not well prepared, and was shot in the face door with a crossbow by a guard beside Gongsun Rongnu, and fell to the ground.Gongsun Rongnu was overjoyed, shouted wildly, rushed to Qu Ji, cut off his head with a knife, and then cut down Qu Ji's battle flag.Gongsun Rongnu carried the head of Qu He, jumped on a bareback war horse, broke away from the battle circle, and galloped wildly."
Beheading" a personal guard pulled the battle flag of Qu He, closely followed behind Gongsun Rongnu's horse, and shouted in response: "Capture the flag" The war drum sounded again, and the soldiers of the Han army raised their war swords, cheered in unison, and roared like thunder.The Huns were demoralized.The two commanders who were struggling to catch up heard the roar of the Han army, and invariably reined in their horses, looked around, and hesitated.They were all confused.Originally, they thought it would be an easy victory, but it turned out to be a big surprise to them, the victory was still an easy victory, but the winner was not them, but the Han people.At this moment, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the west, a large flag rushed out of the horizon, and countless Han knights rushed like a tide.The Huns no longer dared to fight, turned their horses' heads, and fled in all directions:
