There is never a shortage of noise on the battlefield, and the sound will be so noisy that it is relatively difficult to rely on the sound to distinguish the movement.
In summer, everything is dry, and it is very easy for a large number of people to trample on the dust and fog area, and if you deliberately drag the branches, the smoke will definitely cover a certain area, not to mention that the people outside can't see clearly, and the people inside can only squint.
The five hundred dragon guards were ordered to fight a surprise attack, and they were now warming up in the valley for a while, saying that they should attack immediately after the order was given.
"New troops have gone up."
Cui Xuan's face was gloomy: "They are just used as bait, and they don't have much effect." ” Shijie Zhao has always had Jin people as soldiers in the army, and if they want to mix in the troops at the county and county level, in addition to being strong and strong, they must also have family members as hostages.
In fact, seeing the Han army erecting the Han flag with his own eyes had a great impact on the hearts of the Jin soldiers in the Shijie Zhao army.
Although they have become soldiers at the county and county level, their treatment and living environment are not very good, and even because of the lack of labor in their families due to the lack of labor as county soldiers, every family is even more difficult.
Some Jin soldiers who became county soldiers were themselves small landlords and would know more things than ordinary people, such as what the Han flag represented.
They also knew another point, for example, the attitude of the imperial court towards the Jin people after last year was to exterminate the Jin people The living environment has always been bad, and then it is to be bullied, if you want to say how willing the Jin people are to work for Shijie, it can only be said that it is a very small part, and more is simply not a choice.
"Wait a minute, don't be stupid and rush forward."
He Zimin lowered his voice and instructed his cousin: "Shouting and shouting, but it is not necessary to sell your life" "That's it."
He Zishan ignored it with a face: "The big guy doesn't want to fight with the Han army." ” It may have nothing to do with agreeing with anything, it is simply a matter of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, the Han army is not a rabble, it fights fiercely and fiercely, and it will definitely not end well with it.
Again, when Shijie's soldiers, there is no reward for victory, and if they are defeated, they will be abandoned in the wilderness, if there is a military order to take a step back and behead and abandon the corpse, it will be pressed, that is to have to fight, but this time there is no strict order not to retreat.
The whispering voice was not only generated among the Jin soldiers, but the Zahu soldiers who were transferred up were also talking in a low voice, and the same attitude as the Jin soldiers was that the Zahu soldiers did not want to fight hard.
If the Jin soldiers are more or less a bit of a "Han complex", the Zahu soldiers obviously don't want to die.
"Those soldiers of the big clan can't win, how can we do it" "It's just that they will collapse at the first touch, how can we win the battle."
Not only the soldiers, but also the officers of Shijie Zhao State did not want to fight hard, mainly because they knew that their catties and taels, the grade of the Han army's armor and equipment was too high, and the battle was too fierce, and it was no longer a battle situation that could offset the advantages and disadvantages of both sides just by desperately.
Besides, on the premise that there is punishment and no reward, what reason do they have for desperately?
One side is confident and determined to fight, the other side intends to fish in troubled waters, and the new outbreak of battle has been doomed from the beginning.
"It depends on whether the Han army is fooled into pursuit."
Deng Heng must have known the mentality of the troops participating in the battle, and he was fully prepared: "If the Longteng Guards can repel the Han army, the rest of the troops should advance appropriately, and we need this forward camp." ” Deng Heng didn't think in the direction that the Han army would set fire to the mountain, they really needed a forward position, or they could defend it if they were not squeezed in the mountainous area, but they would be completely passive at that time.
"The next batch of reinforcements is already rushing day and night, and it is expected to arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest."
Cui Xuan looked worried: "The casualties of this tug-of-war are too heavy, it is better to retreat to the mountains", he is worried that if this continues, the continued low morale will turn into a rout of the whole army.
The two were talking, and a new round of battle on the battlefield began again.
The attack echelon composed of Jin people and Zahu, they just released arrows on the periphery, and they didn't charge if they were slow.
This is not only the attitude shown by the soldiers, but even the officers do not expect much from the attack, or the officers have a way to make the soldiers charge.
"Can't go back" Deng Heng was halfway through his words, and shouted: "Order A to mount and set off." ” That was when the Han army saw Shijie Zhao Jun grinding and grinding, cracked the shield wall and took the initiative to counterattack and charge, and the battle horn that was shouted just now once covered up the noise of the battlefield, which could be regarded as a wake-up call for Deng Heng.
In a roar of "the mighty Han army", the Han army rushed in front of the sword and shield soldiers, they only collided with the Shijie Zhao army, and the result was that the Shijie Zhao army retreated after a little resistance.
The sound of heavy horses' hooves is not too obvious in the noisy battlefield, the five hundred dragon guards are actually heavy horses with armor on both men and horses, and after they go out of the valley, they directly plough the rout and keep moving forward, causing the defeated rout to cry and cry to run on both sides, but they quickly give way to the offensive line.
The smoke of the battlefield obstructed the vision, and the Han saber and shield soldiers who were waiting to attack found that there were cavalry charging forward, and if they wanted to turn around and retreat, they would definitely not be able to return to their own formation, and officers at all levels kept shouting: "Form a formation" The shield of the sword and shield soldier is a small round shield, except for the metal structure of the heart guard in the center, and the rest of the part is actually a vine.
The time was too fast, so they naturally couldn't pay attention to anything more, so they could only stand shoulder to shoulder with the nearest robe, and use shields to form a small shield array as much as possible.
Equipped with heavy riding, the weight of the armor and people and horses is counted, and then the speed of galloping is added, and the impact force is by no means something that a few people can block with a small round shield.
In the dull sound of horses' hooves and crashing, the Longteng Guards laughed wildly and ran over a team composed of several or even dozens of Han saber and shield soldiers, they also ignored their own wounded soldiers and trampled them directly, under the strong impact, except for a very few, the rest of the more than 500 Han saber and shield soldiers who had just attacked were crushed by.
From the start of the battle last night to the present, the cheers belonging to the Shijie Zhao army were shouted for the first time, and all the soldiers of the Shijie Zhao army widened their eyes, waiting to see if their armor and cavalry equipment could maintain an indomitable attitude.
"It's done" Cui Xuan shouted excitedly: "The Han army has no time to organize the shield wall" It seems that it is like that, the Han army has stopped advancing, and it seems that it has given up on organizing the shield wall, but there is something wrong with not running around.
"They're pulling out in both directions."
Deng Heng was old, his eyesight was a little bad, and his confused expression didn't last long, and he was replaced with horror: "Not good" Almost at the moment when Deng Heng was shouting "not good", the Han army also stopped running, and the soldiers all squatted down, and the next moment the Han army shot out thick crossbow arrows in this formation.
Crushing infantry with heavy cavalry is an easy job, and there's nothing more refreshing than looking at the enemy with a look of horror on his face.
And since the Dragon Guards were formed, they had long been accustomed to the smooth sailing situation after their own attacks, resulting in a relaxed smile behind the galloping knight mask, waiting to see the Han army flee in fear.
The galloping dragon guards, they saw the Han army cracking the formation to the left and right wings, at that moment they may be thinking "they didn't run in a panic", waiting to see the Han army in front of them either squatting or lying on the ground will think "what to do, is it scared stupid, scared legs are weak and waiting to be trampled by the horses' hooves", but the next moment it was their turn to be frightened behind their masks.
"Spread out, spread out" Crossbow arrows, at least one zhang in length, with thick rods Heavy armor can defend against bows, and when facing crossbows, it is unsatisfactory, if the crossbow is useless, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, the dragon guards who were hit by the arrows did not have time to react at all, and the crossbow arrows that were shot through flew backwards.
The first batch of Dragon Guards who were hit was not many, that is, dozens.
Not all of the Dragon Guards who were hit were carried backwards, but more were pinned in place with men and horses, causing the cavalry behind to have no time to dodge and collide.
The crossbow is not fired very frequently, and even if it is equipped with a winch device, it will take at least thirty breaths per round.
Therefore, the fifty crossbows were not fired at once, but were divided into three batches, the first batch of about five for calibration, the second batch for twenty mounted fire, and the third batch for thirty crossbows to be fired on horseback, pursuing the pursuit of seizing the interval for each shot.

The so-called interval is to create artificial obstacles, and those enemy soldiers who are shot dead are obstacles.
The Longteng guards in the charge were the first wave of crossbow fire when they were about 450 paces away from the Han army, the second group at 400 paces, and the third group when they were close to 300 paces.
The ferocity of the people was on full display at this moment, that is, they were frightened at the beginning, and then some of their companions died very miserably, but they were aroused to be ferocious, and they did not want to turn around and flee.
After three rounds of crossbow shooting, it is estimated that only about 20 people were killed directly, and more than a dozen riders were tripped and fell, and there should be about 450 dragon guards who continued to charge forward.
The remaining Dragon Guards continued to gallop, they had already shown a cruel grin, once the Han army did not have time to organize the shield wall and let the heavy cavalry charge succeed, then the end of the Han army would definitely come.
On the side of the Han army, the half-crouching soldiers grabbed the spears and stabbed them out at a half-angle, and in a moment it became a forest of spikes composed of spears.
The dragon guards in the charge could not see clearly due to the field of vision, and what they saw in a hazy way was a large area, and Deng Heng, who was in the distance, could not see clearly the spear array in the smoke area, but he could see the soldiers standing still in the Han army's infantry formation, and some were not sure what kind of troops it was.
Very suddenly, a "dark cloud" rose from the main formation of the Han army, and in a moment there was another "dark cloud", and the soldiers with strong crossbows were following the order to fire crossbow arrows.
And in addition to them, a thousand crossbowmen were waiting for the order to fire crossbow arrows
