On the east side of the camel city, facing the position of the Huns' attack, Xi Chongguo, the capital of the North Court, was ordered by Fu Jiezi, and Zheng Ji, the deputy capital of the Western Regions, was responsible for the defense of the entire east side.Behind the Han soldiers were the Xiaoyue Clan's righteous soldiers who abandoned their horses and entered the camel city, half of them were distributed in other directions, and half of them were about 2,500 people led by their king Wolf He, who also listened to Xi Chongguo's orders.The language is not clear, the situation is unknown, how can the Xiaoyue clan order?
Xi Chongguo has been in Beiting for many years, and has fought with righteous cavalry many times, and finally summed up, the best way is to let them play freely.Tonight, the Huns launched a general attack during the siege of the city, and the black oppressive crowd pressed from the night.Although the Xiaoyue clan is a boast, they think that they are the real Yue, and they have recovered the royal court of the Guyue clan in Pu Shihai, and they are not afraid of the Huns.But when thousands of Huns stepped on the chaotic footsteps to kill, in the sound of the golden drum on the battlefield, the fear in their hearts still broke out.There were only three rows of Han soldiers in front, as well as a short camel city, and many people were shaking their hands with bows, and no matter how far the Huns went, they only subconsciously raised their horned bows high, and shot them into the night with the Qiang flute hanging from the leader's mouth.The accuracy is not important, the important thing is that the flying arrows can take away a little fear, as long as this can stop the Huns' footsteps.But the other party's arrow curtain is obviously denser than them, more than 2,000 arrows on this side just went out, and 10,000 arrows on the opposite side fell like hail, nailing a lot of the thin Xiaoyue clan to death, and the howl sounded behind the Han pawn, making many people pale, only under the protection of Wu Kui's big shield above their heads, they continued to hold the crossbow, and their eyes were staring at the fire dozens of steps away."
No one is allowed to fire a crossbow until the captives are in the fire!"
Xi Chongguo doesn't know how many times he has let this order be passed on, he has been at war with the Huns for many years, he knows the enemy quite well, and the Huns also have iron armor, some of which are forged iron by the Huns themselves, although they are not as good as Han Jia, but they are iron guys.The other part was captured from Li Guangli, the captain of the transport brigade, and in every big battle, you can see some Hu Lu wearing Han-style iron armor with arrows as the vanguard.Tonight, too, Xi Chongguo expected that the Huns would not dare to rush in with cavalry because of the camel city, and could only fight on foot, and the forerunners must be those wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, they could advance against the thin arrow curtain of the Yueshi people, and they could even move forward with a crossbow fifty paces away.The bow and arrow are wound quickly, within a hundred steps, there are only three or four shots at the enemy, and it is good that the slower crossbow can shoot twice, rather than wasting the killer weapon of the Han army, it is better to wait, wait for the enemy to approach and take away another wave!
In the words of the former capital protector Ren Hong, this is called "putting the enemy closer to fight".The running figure of the Huns has entered the light of the fire set up by the Han army, and sure enough, he is wearing armor, even if there is no iron armor, he is covered with several layers of leather armor, holding a small shield in one hand to defend himself against the arrow above his head, and in the other hand he is holding a straight knife and spear, and he is rushing towards the camel city in a chaotic manner.In the front row, there were even large wooden planks made improvly, and the crossbow arrows that were shot because they couldn't withstand the pressure were nailed to it, but because the distance was still far away, the strength was small, and they couldn't hurt the Hu Lu in the back.Seeing that the Huns were getting closer and closer, a tun chief couldn't help it, and turned around and shouted: "Duhu, fifty steps, let's do it!"
”Xi Chongguo didn't say a word in his hand, he only stared at the Huns who crossed the fire, but Zheng Ji, who was in charge of the spearmen, understood the thoughts of his old friend, and immediately beheaded the tun chief who did not listen to the order, and shouted: "My Cao's life, in a single ear, how can it be false!"
Wait for the sound of the drums before releasing the shield and fire the crossbow!
”Forty steps, thirty steps, until the Huns stepped into the twenty steps, it was instantaneous, the crossbow soldier bit his lip and his hands began to tremble, almost unable to withstand the pressure, Xi Chongguo slammed the drum.Hearing the drumbeat, Qu Changtun waved the flag, and the shield in front of him suddenly gave way, at this critical moment, the crossbowmen pulled the hanging knife, and thousands of crossbows fired in unison, tense and tense, and countless extremely sharp crossbow arrows broke out of the air.At such a close distance, the diamond-shaped steel clusters made by the steel-filled method are incredibly powerful and have high accuracy.There was a crisp pop pop, and the horizontal board of the Huns holding the arrows was shot to pieces.The Huns who followed either could not withstand the blow and fell, or were shot by arrows that broke through the wood.As for those who came into direct contact with the crossbows, although they were wearing iron armor and a layer of silk or felt clothing that had been obtained from the Han land in various ways, they were still nailed into their bodies by sharp steel tufts, and they only felt heart-rending pain, and they clutched their wounds and howled in pain on the ground.At least three or four hundred Huns fell on the front, and many of them died on the spot, and the salvo kill rate reached one-third, which was really amazing.Some of the enemy troops scattered backwards in fright, retreating slightly.In the past, such casualties were enough to make the Huns retreat, but tonight they were a little more fearless of death, like endless waves, the front row fell, and the back row came.The fast-moving crossbowman wanted to release another arrow before Hu Lu entered the ten steps, but was dragged away by the commander of the tun, and when the shield array was just replenished, the armorers felt the great force coming.It was the spear in the hands of the Huns, and they also endured to throw it violently within ten steps of the enemy, most of them smashed into the shield array and bounced, or deeply penetrated into the shield, and also threw it far away, stabbing several unlucky crossbowmen directly to death!
Under the cover of another rain of arrows, the Huns had arrived in front of the camel city with a howl, and the warriors running at the forefront were braided and flying, and they were about to jump over the shield array with one foot on the camel carcass, but with another drum, a row of spears poked out from behind the shield, and the Hulu who had ascended first was directly stabbed to death."
Raise your spear!"
The system of the Han army, the older ones make bows and crossbows, and the short ones use spears, and the short Zheng Ji stands in the spear array, only to shrink behind the shield, and look at the tall crossbow soldiers who show their might, and at this moment condense into a strong formation like a steel jungle, and countless spears stretch out from the front row of the large array, sending the Hulu who are trying to cross the thunder pool in vain to meet their Qilian God.There are also one or two lucky Huns who dodged the dense spear array and jumped off the camel city, but before they could get up, they were greeted by the sword and shield soldiers above their heads, and the blood fell in the array, and the crossbowmen also wound up again, and they took the time to raise their crossbows and shoot, and the Huns went forward and followed, and they didn't need to aim at all.The camel city is like a meat grinder, and the Huns are constantly falling.The Han army relied on the thick armor casualties were not big, and the Xiaoyue people behind them were miserable, they had no big shield to protect, and there was no iron armor to cover the body, with the short battle in front, the Hun archers also entered the camel city within fifty steps, the arrows were inserted upside down on the ground, and the bow was constantly thrown to cover the forward.Because of the fear of shooting their own people, the Huns' range was farther away, just falling on the head of the Xiaoyue people, relying on the arrow curtain to suppress, the battle was only two moments, and the Han army in front was still able to block the Hulu outside the camel city, Xiaoyue's morale had plummeted, regardless of the order of the wolf, they began to find cover, and did not dare to shoot at the Huns again.The Huns were unable to break through the positions of the Han army, the number of casualties increased little by little, and the Han army was unable to repel the Xiongnu because of its small number and weak front, and the eastern side of the camel city fell into a stalemate.The west, south and north sides were also attacked at the same time, the Huns were ruthless, the number of people mobilized was more than five times that of the Han army and Xiaoyue, the camel city was fighting all sides, and the battle reached an hour, the Han army and the Huns were tired, the Huns were killed and wounded thousands, and the corpses were piled up as high as the camel body, so that the later people could directly step on them and fight with the Han army.At this moment, a horn sounded from the west side of the camel city, which was not a fierce attack!
Then came the sound of horses' hooves trampling!
Xi Chongguo couldn't help but look back, and saw that in the dawn of dawn, countless pointed helmets like sharp teeth of wild beasts were undulating and fluctuating in the dark, converging into a torrent, and suddenly rushed towards the Han army on the west side of the camel city, which was a little scattered in formation and was so tired that he couldn't lift a knife!
Xi Chongguo's pupils constricted slightly, and his heartbeat suddenly increased!"
Not good!"
This cavalry, numbering more than 5,000 people, waited on the west side of the battlefield by night, waiting for the Han army to attack when it was exhausted.The other three sides were still struggling to defend themselves, and it was too late to gallop to help, and the horses' hooves trampled the ground with a rumbling sound, like a flash flood.The cavalry of the Huns trampled the road paved by the corpse of the Hulu, straight over the camel corpse into the battle, the Huns were good at riding and shooting and shorter than the synapse, although they were out tonight, they were still defeated by the Han spear array, most of them sent their heads, and the people turned over on their backs in the spear stabbing of the Han soldiers.However, the array on the west side of the camel city was hit hard by this, and it was a little scattered, and there were still more than a thousand horsemen who broke through the gap in the array and rushed towards the Xiaoyue clan people in the rear by relying on their speed!
The Xiaoyue clan on the west side was only more than a thousand people, but they did not have the determination of the Han army to fight to the death, so they subconsciously moved to both sides.This caused more than 1,000 horsemen to drive in and go straight to the Fu Jiezi banner on the central hill of the camel city!
From the beginning of the battle, as a commander, Fu Jiezi's slow but powerful drum beat never stopped, fortunately, there were hundreds of guards on the left and right guards, and dug a gully under the hillock, piled up carts, wood and other things, like the inner city of a camel city, more than a foot above the ground, the Huns could not rush up.But the distance was enough, and this brave Hun cavalry rushed to the foot of the hill, regardless of Fu Jiezi's personal guards in formation, regardless of the Han army coming to help from all directions.Only stopped and shot with the bow, and more than ten people who were singled out to use the condor were used in a concentrated manner, and they slowly pulled their bows in the crowd, aiming at the people who beat the drum under the banner a hundred steps away, and shot violently!
For a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the swishing sound kept sounding, although the guards either raised their shields or used their bodies to block Fu Jiezi's arrows, but Fu Jiezi's drumming stopped abruptly!"
Fu Jiezi is dead!"
As soon as the drumbeat of the drumbeat of the Han army's heartbeat stopped, the Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu, who had been supervising the battle under the eagle feather white cloud, thought that the eagle shooters had made great contributions, and immediately waved the flag, so that all sides stepped up the attack, and when the Han army's main general died down, he shouted the news loudly, and then when the Han army lost his mind, he took the camel city that had killed and wounded six or seven thousand Huns in one go.But before Da Dan was happy for a moment, the drums beat again!
Facing the rising sun in the east, on the central hill of the camel city, a general wearing bright light armor and reflecting the light under the morning sun stood impressively.In the distance, the eyes of Xulu Quan Qu Shan Yu were stung by this reflection, and he subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, and he was frightened.It was the Mingguang armor sent to the Western Regions by Dasi Nong who saved him.Fu Jiezi ignored the scattered arrows, let them hit the shield of the guard, nailed to the scales of the armor, and only waved the war drums one after another, and the strength was not weaker than before!
While fighting to the death with the Huns who rushed into the camel city, the guards shouted in unison: "General Yan Ran is here!"
”The sound spread to the surroundings of the camel city, and the various units of the Han army, which had been slightly weakened and were squeezed back a few steps by a large number of Huns, heard the drums and shouts, and regained their spirits, gritted their teeth and continued to fight with knives and spears, wanting to drive the Huns out of the camel city.And as a flag beside Fu Jiezi slowly waved, the team that had just been guarding Fu Jiezi's side also began to walk towards the Huns who were fighting under the hillock, they numbered about 100 people, standing in felt clothes, but now they pulled violently, revealing a bright armor!
The blood-like morning sun sprinkled on the warrior's armor, as if iron was burning, and it was so hot that it was daunting.This is Fu Jiezi's concentrated use of dozens of pairs of Mingguang armor in the army, plus two hundred iron armor, to form a team with a 100% armor rate, and select the most fierce and unafraid of death, outstanding martial arts of the light heroes and dead soldiers, led by Sun Wan and Guo Wengzhong, as a reserve.When the sky was bright, the offensive of the Huns was exhausted and began to decline, and the Han army had reached its limit, and it was time to dispatch.Sun Wan held the ring head knife, the shield rested at his feet, he guarded under the hill all night, and only then did he block two eagle archers aimed at Fu Jiezi, the arrows at the tricky angle, and now Fu Jiezi has thrown the last trump card, so that Sun Wan took this "iron army" into the battlefield.Lao Sun drew his blade, and more than 200 ring-headed knives forged by the steel-filled method were also unsheathed, and were erected in front of them by the soldiers, reflecting the sunlight, which was a sharp weapon for short-handed combat.The heavily armored former Sanfu light man, like a moving iron mountain, rushed into the camel city at the foot of the hill, and wanted to behead Fu Jiezi The Huns walked towards it.From here, they have to start a desperate counterattack to win this offensive and defensive battle.The iron people stepped together, their steps were heavy and powerful, and with Sun Wan's order, they slammed the shield with their weapons, and the sound shook so that their eardrums were about to crack, like a horn for attack, and then they shouted out the old name given to this "partial division" when Ren Hong was the protector of Anxi, worthy of the name!"
Anxi Iron Army, invincible in the world!"
