Ren Hong's banner embroidered with the word "Ren" shook gently, leaving only 2,000 people in the main formation, and the rest formed a wild goose formation to march forward to meet the mad king's army.This is a battle that refreshes the understanding of the Wusun people.The method of large-scale combat of the cavalry on the steppe is different from the chaotic battle encountered by the hundred horsemen.Generally, it is to organize 100 people as a batch, take turns to impact and shoot, the front team moves laterally after shooting a round, gives up the position, and the second team rushes again.If the enemy is routed by arrows, they will rush in and end the battle with swords and spears.If the enemy is not in disarray, they will shoot repeatedly, and at the same time try to surround them, dismount and shoot.This is the battle rule of many countries of the Xiongnu, Wusun, Yueshi, and Kangju, without exception.Therefore, the battlefield is often very large, but the casualties are very small, most of the time they are flying kites at each other, you shoot me, I shoot you, and only when the victory is in hand will the hedge fight together to end the battle.But today, on the left side of the Mad King Army, there is a still smoking camp fire to block it, and in the rear is Chigu Castle, where the Han army foot soldiers who had defeated Wu and Tu Wan Cavalry with 2,000 men are forming a phalanx to press over.The front and right front were blocked by the Yanling array deployed by the Han cavalry, and the cramped and narrow space made it difficult to perform the repeated entanglement and galloping shots that the Wusun people were good at, and they had only one choice.Under the order of the mad king, more than 6,000 horsemen on both wings were placed behind to resist the approach of the Han army's foot soldiers, and the remaining eight wings of more than 20,000 horsemen spread out and rushed straight forward, wanting to rely on many men and horses to achieve victory!
From the perspective of the golden reward, the first to engage the Mad King Army was the Xiu Tu Department and the Xiaoyue clan in the two wings of the Yanling Array, and the Yue clan and Wusun were also entangled in grievances for hundreds of years.As for the Wusun people who were on the Hugh Tu army, although they were more numerous, they were actually beaten by the Hugh Tu Army.First, the morale of the Han army was high, and the Mad King army had not yet recovered from the intimidation of the fire.Moreover, after the Hutu Department defected to the Great Han, it was no longer as shabby as in the past, at least all the arrow clusters were replaced with iron, and they already had the elite strength of the Right Xian King.But the Hugh Tu Department obviously also left a hand, the battle on both sides seemed to be fierce, in fact, there were not many people who were hit by arrows, they just went to the center and immediately retreated after placing an arrow indiscriminately, and the tacit understanding seemed that no one was doing their best, Xiaoyue's clan and Hugh Tu people were unwilling to fight to the death to pay casualties, and those winged Wusun nobles were also observing the situation, happy to paddle, each with their own plans, this world is really full of smart people.Seeing that Ren Hongzhi shook his head and scolded: "The people of the Xiaoyue clan are not honest, Qinhou, and the same is true for your family." ”Jin Xian has many identities, the first emperor's cronies, Huo Guang's son-in-law, and the son of Jin Riyan, the Han Zhongliang, but he didn't take himself as the leader of Hugh Tuhu, and after listening to Ren Hong's slightly sarcastic words, he had no choice but to bow his head and said: "The Marquis of Xi'an is right, the subordinate country Qiang Hu Yi is riding is this problem, it is difficult to fight to the death, and his heart is different!"
”Hey, you mean they're not yours?
But the remaining three-winged Wusun people in the middle were not so lucky, they faced Jincheng, Tianshui, and Longxi Sanqu "Xiliang Iron Cavalry".Everyone is a man, and what he is running for the war is the future, and he was inspired by Ren Hong's speech, and he rushed forward with all his strength.Instead of galloping back and forth to fight each other not far away or near like the battle of the Xiaoyue clan and the Hutu Division, but when he was jogging to about 100 paces, he suddenly urged the horses and accelerated towards the mad king's army who was about to shoot with a bow!
From the perspective of the Wusun people, I saw that under the leadership of Han Dangdang, a large group of heavily armored horn helmets shook up and down, and instead of holding bows and crossbows, they held spears and halberds.There is a saying in Liangzhou that the Qiang people are strong and brave, because of the spirit of the West.Perhaps there is some truth that the people of Jincheng are mixed with the Qiang people, and they are gradually contaminated with this fierce golden spirit.The local light warriors learned the Qiang cavalry's combat method of being fruitful in the spurt, and compared to slowly grinding the opponent to death with arrows, they were more willing to hold their spears and stab them directly, either they died or the enemy died, and it was good to end it quickly.In addition, at the beginning of the year, many people followed Ren Hong to defeat the Qiang people in Binghe and Huangshui, and received a large reward, and afterwards they bought armor, and they were able to fight in armor like Liangjiazi, and they were even more fearless.When the iron hooves of the Jincheng cavalry approached fifty paces at a rapid pace, as Han Dang screamed to the sky, the cold spears and halberds were flattened one after another.Seeing that the other party was well-armoured, the Wusun people scattered away, but there were still people who couldn't avoid it, and countless sharp blades were instantly inserted into the front row, making the Wusun rider, who had only time to shoot two rounds of arrows, turn over on his back, and Han Dangdang's halberd directly penetrated the body of a nobleman."
Withdraw!
Rush again, go deeper!
”Han Dang was a real order to rely on roaring, and after shouting in his voice, the Jincheng cavalry quickly withdrew, and the queue crossed the front of the formation.Behind him, there was another long-prepared Jincheng Iron Cavalry urging the war horse, roaring, and a new wave of impact began this kind of heavy cavalry that gave up galloping and relied purely on assault, which the Wusun people had not encountered in the past hundred years.Although the more than 1,000 elites under the Xiongnu Dadan also had the effect of assault cavalry, they never came to the Western Regions and only escorted Yizhi to break through in the Battle of Mobei.Although the Parthian heavy cavalry was invincible in Western Asia, it was separated by several countries and never fought with Usun.In this way, Jincheng Qugetun repeatedly attacked, and the Wusun people were caught off guard and could only counterattack with bows and arrows.But their arrows shot at the opponent's iron armor, not causing much damage, the Han army's iron spear halberd is extremely sharp, as miserable as a bee, as long as it cuts through the body, it can make the skin of the Wusun people bloom.And the Wusun people on the two wings next to it are not much better, Tianshuiqu and Longxiqu are mainly based on Liangjiazi, their armor soldiers are also excellent, but the combat methods are more traditional, both assault and galloping.This does not mean that the Wusun people can take advantage, but whether they are in close combat, they will be defeated.Since the beginning of the Qin State, the six counties have been famous for cavalry, and after Han Gaozu entered Guanzhong, he wanted to establish his own cavalry troops, but he still had to use the old Qin people as the basis.When it came to Jing Xiaowu, the wind of cavalry and archery in the six counties was better than one generation after another, and he became the first choice of Yulin Lang for warriors.Full-time soldiers in the army of the six counties of the good family, galloping kung fu is no worse than the Wusun people who have lived on horseback since childhood, before Xi'an Hou also chatted with a few Qu Chang and Tun Chang, saying that after this battle, the people who were recruited into the army were probably about to be disbanded, but if anyone was willing to follow him, Xi'an Hou would buy some horse harness for them to make it easier to ride a horse, and the result was insulting!
The good families of Tianshui and Longxi all regard this as a great humiliation!
Without those so-called new harnesses, they can't ride horses and can't shoot bows?
Everyone thought that Xi'anhou was deliberately saying the opposite, reminding them that they were rusty with riding and shooting, and they had to prove themselves well today.For example, Na Xin Qingji, who is young, can only rely on his legs to hold the horse's belly on the horse, take off the reins of his hands and open the bow to aim, and his head is still excellent, shooting down several Wusun nobles one after another.And Tianshui Qu's Gan Yanshou showed his skills in the melee.The battlefield was not wide, and the cavalry rushed together next to each other, and the horses leaned on the horses, which were crowded and could not be withdrawn, so they could only meet each other in short quarters.Generally, Han soldiers are armed with ring-headed knives and slash at each other, but the weapon in Gan Yanshou's hand is a halberd, which can be used for assassination and slashing.This blade weighs hundreds of Han catties, and in Gan Yanshou's muscular hands, it is as dexterous as a small wooden stick, but it is not gentle at all in the body of Wusun, and every time he swings it, he will chop a Wusun person off the horse.I don't know how many people Gan Yanshou killed, and in the end, the blades were curled, so he simply changed his usage and smashed directly on the enemy's head, and for a while the Wusun people couldn't avoid it, and no one dared to approach him within five steps.Xiliang Tieqi Sanqu was like a trident, and it was like a bamboo, and the three-winged Wusun people who were ordered to deal with them were beaten to the point that they were crying wolf, like crushed weeds, and there was no room for resistance.You know, their number is three times that of the other party!
The defeat of the three wings was like pouring cold water on the mad king, making him sober up all of a sudden, I am afraid that he underestimated the Han army, and the current situation should not think about victory, but how to get out.But first, the Mad King had to move the wing that was placed in the rear to the front, hoping to stop the precarious rout.This kind of recklessness will lead to serious consequences.The galloping aid of more than 3,000 horsemen on this wing was just to put out the fire, and under the fierce impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the new force was coerced by the defeated soldiers and began to rout.They had chased Yuan Guimi to the north, but at this moment, they fell apart like clay bottles beaten with iron, and there were screams everywhere.But the defeat could not go forward, only to squeeze back, the Wusun people only cared about the unstoppable Xiliang iron cavalry, but ignored the two thousand Han army foot soldiers in the rear, slowly but firmly approaching the battlefield.When the Wusun people heard the sound of horizontal blowing and drumming in the rear, they turned around and found that the mountain that had made Wuwei slaughter tens of thousands of horsemen fail to shake it had moved not far behind them, step by step, with a jungle full of spears, pressing towards them.The foot soldiers commanded by others are as immobile as a mountain, but Fu Jiezi uses soldiers, but he is as moving as a mountain!
You're not coming?
Come from the mountains!
What about the winged Wusun soldiers who were ordered by the mud to stop them?
They seemed to be afraid of this foot soldier, so they actually left behind the large army and moved to the south to evacuate, probably trying to escape from the gap between the two armies.Lucky enough for those people to slip away before they were flattened by the mountain.Later generations often compared cavalry to hammers, while infantry was an anvil, and the cooperation of the two sides could create the greatest results.But today, it's more like Ren Hong is still holding the Xiliang hammer to fight the mad king, but Fu Jiezi in the back is impatient and directly smashes it up with the anvil!
Like the scene where Fu Jiezi stabbed King Loulan to death with a knot, the Western Regions Protector commanded the cumbersome anvil and couldn't help but say, knocking on the side and back of the Wusun people who were on the verge of collapse, smashing their backs.Feng Fengshi ordered the material officer to constantly bend down and assist in winding with his feet, and then picked up the crossbow machine to harvest the lives of the Wusun people and horses.Zheng Ji led the long soldiers holding the spears of the Zhangba chiefs to the front of the gap and poked the Wusun rider off his horse.As soon as the enemy fell off his horse, under the leadership of Sun Qianqu Chang, hundreds of go-heads rose and fell, splashed with blood, and pecked them to death.In the end, the armor warrior held the sword and shield on top, further squeezing the battle space of the Wusun people, forcing them to abandon their horses and fight on foot, losing the last bit of advantage and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was also moving forward, at this moment it was really like an iron hammer controlled by Ren Hong with his right hand, began to clench, raised high, and then violently slammed towards the mad king army who was squeezed by the anvil!
Sparks splash.Let them scream, shapeshift, smash!
Although the two wings are still fighting hard, in the center of the battlefield, it seems that the winner has been decided.Ren Hong is still letting people raise their flags and give orders, and the closer they get to the end, the more cautious they become.His attention was focused on the south, always staring at the Wusun wing that had "escaped from the battle" and was about to leave the battlefield."
We're going to win?"
But Jin Xian didn't notice that he was relieved, eager to try, and wanted to take the trilogy to reap the victory, and began to look for the position of the mad king.After searching for a long time in the chaotic battlefield, Jin Xian finally found the shadow of the Mad King Crow Feather Daxu, which was a whole wing of thousands of Wusun people, who were actually retreating to the northeast, wanting to pass through the camp where the flames had just been extinguished.Jin Xian hurriedly pointed there and said, "Xi'an Hou, Nimi wants to escape!"
