Chapter 333: The Battle of Mobei (7)

| |  -> ->  

The latest website: Surrounded by thousands of military vehicles, Han infantry and crossbowmen armed with halberds and crossbows and other weapons, hiding behind the vehicles, temporarily formed a formation to meet the main Huns. Wu Gang was two feet long and four feet wide, with a spear tied on the outside and a large shield on the inside, acting as a simple city wall.

All the Han infantry and crossbowmen have solemn faces, the south wind is whistling, the flags are going north, and the sand from the Gobi is flying. At this time, the Han army had penetrated into the desert for more than a thousand miles, and could not retreat. Once defeated, the entire army would be wiped out!

Weiqing assembled the cavalry on the flanks of the car formation, and they formed horns with each other.

The Huns mainly attacked the car formation and faced Wei Qing's cavalry attack. The cavalry who attacked Wei Qing would also be attacked by the flanking vehicles.

Wei Qing observes the wind direction through the banner. Time, location, and people are all factors for winning.

The headquarters of Weiqing, including the cavalry of Cao Xiang, General Zuo, Gongsunhe, and others, had 30,000 cavalry from the Han army, 10,000 Xiliang cavalry from Longxi and Beizhou government, and 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry from Han Shizhong. Five thousand cavalry.

Weiqing, as the commander of the Han Empire second only to Han Xin, has a cavalry halo of the entire army. The cavalry of Wang Yanzhang, Li Hu, and Han Shizhong have all received the addition of Weiqing halo, and their combat capabilities have been greatly improved!

"It is worthy of being the double walls of the Han Empire. Just the aura of the whole army can affect the outcome of a war!"

Lord Xu Fengnian of Longxi checked the attributes of the cavalry led by Wang Yanzhang and Li Hu, and found that he had obtained the bonus of Wei Qing's all-army halo "Changpinghou". The attributes of the cavalry rose a lot, and morale began to gradually recover.

Generals who can have the aura of the whole army, either are legendary heroes with real materials, or are very popular heroes. Wei Qing belongs to the former.

The only generals under Chu Tian who have the aura of the whole army are Le Yi and Hua Mulan.

With Wei Qing's aura of the whole army, Xu Fengnian feels a little relieved.

Wei Qing of the Battle of Mobei, level 100, all attributes are at the peak.

The number of cavalry soldiers of the Xiongnu Yizhi slanted singularly occupied the advantage, but facing the Han army's tactics and Wei Qing's aura of the whole army, the Xiongnu Yizhi slanted stubbornly against the enemy.

According to the investigation of the Xiongnu scout cavalry, Li Guangyi’s Han army is approaching the main battlefield, leaving little time for Yi Zhi and Shanyu.

"Please let me lead the cavalry to test the attack. If the Weiqing cavalry comes to attack, Lord Shan Yu will lead the elite cavalry to rescue."

Since Wang Zhao Xin was forced to send troops to test the Han army.

Tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, under the command of Zhao Xin, made a gesture of attacking the Han army's car base, while the cavalry of Yi Zhi slantedly watched Wei Qing's cavalry.

The Xiongnu did not plan to give the Han army time to restore morale and strength.

"The Xiongnu cavalry are coming!"

The Han soldiers inside the car formation noticed the sand and dust rolling, and the horses of the Huns cavalry galloped, clenching their weapons nervously, and breathing quickly.

The other two Han forces have already fought with the main Xiongnu forces, only Wei Qing has not fought all the way.

Pan Mei, Su Zhang, Gongsun Ao and other second- and third-rate generals commanded infantry and crossbowmen to resist the attacks of the Huns.

The endless Xiongnu cavalry came as the tide slapped, and Xin Zhao held a Han Huan sword in his hand and personally directed the Xiongnu cavalry to launch a rapid attack.

His opponent is the familiar Han Empire.

Although he knows that the Han army’s car fort is strong, he can only defeat the Han army by attacking when the Han army is exhausted!

A large number of Huns' light cavalry formed a wave and slammed into the battle line of the Han army. Arrows fell like a downpour, intensively nailed to the leather and shields of the military vehicles!

The soldiers in the front row were covered with arrow rain, like a hedgehog.

Many Han infantrymen hid behind the vehicle, avoiding the arrows of the Xiongnu cavalry.

"Let the arrow!"

The crossbowmen of the Han army fired all their arrows and fired horizontally. The crossbow arrows pierced the air and harvested the Xiongnu cavalry without any protection!

The Xiongnu cavalry fell in response to the string, and they turned on their backs.

Three thousand gods crossbow troops were deployed in the middle, three thousand strong crossbows were fired in volley, and the crossbow arrows were fired at a very high initial velocity, easily shooting through the front row of the Huns' light cavalry!

This time Wei Qing adopted the tactics of coordinated combat by foot and cavalry. Whether the car array can be defended is crucial.

Xin Zhao knew that the Han army's car formation was solid and still attacked the car formation.

Li Guang is marching fast all the way, he must solve Wei Qing as soon as possible.

Xin Zhao knew the Han army too well. Escape from Mobei and wait for work with ease is his basic tactics against the Han army. Secondly, although the Han army's crossbows are strong, they are not without shortcomings. The Han army marched thousands of miles, in addition to the shortage of food, there was also a shortage of crossbow arrows, and they could not get supplies.

"As long as the Han army's crossbow arrows are consumed as much as possible, the Han army without crossbow arrows will be forced to fight in close hands."

Facing the well-equipped Han army, Xin Zhao chose to consume the Han army's crossbow arrows with human lives and war horses.

The Huns still attacked the Han army car formation in batches, and when they approached the car formation, they turned their horses to avoid the driving formation. Each impact attracted the Han army's crossbowmen and arrows.

The crossbow arrows of the Han army are quickly consumed in units of 10,000.

"Xin Zhao knows us too well, and his betrayal is a huge loss for us big guys."

Wei Qing commanded the cavalry, observing the entire battlefield. Wei Qing's tactics by the rebel general Xin Zhao caused a lot of trouble.

The Xiongnu and the Han Empire are both taking advantage of each other's surrender. The Huns used the surrender of the Han Empire to learn about the Han army’s combat methods and the frontier fortresses. The Han empire used the surrender of the Hun to learn about the terrain of the desert and the location of the Xiongnu court.

Xin Zhao, a Hun, joined the Han Empire, and then returned to the Huns. He was also familiar with the fighting methods of the Huns and the Han army. His appointment as a military division of the Xiongnu Shanyu undoubtedly made it more difficult for the Han Empire to win.

If it were not for Xin Zhao’s suggestion, the Xiongnu would probably still choose to fight in Monan. The Han army’s supply line would not be so long.

Now Xin Zhao deliberately consumes the crossbow arrows of the Han army, resulting in a huge consumption of the crossbow arrows of the Han army.

Xin Zhao is forcing Wei Qing to use the Han cavalry to fight the Xiongnu cavalry in close hands. There are a large number of Huns cavalry, and close combat has an advantage over the Huns.

In addition, there are many Huns archers who are good at riding and shooting, as well as the most elite Shanyu guards.

"If this continues, our crossbow arrows will soon be exhausted. Wei Qing is still waiting for the opportunity."

Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, commanded the nobles of Longxi to conquer half of Liangzhou and became the uncrowned King of Xiliang. Although he was about the same age as Chutian, he was a prince of the young and strong faction, but he had been fighting for five years. It can be seen that Wei Qing is waiting for the opportunity.

The time may or may not come.

If you can't wait for the right time, the Han cavalry can only go forward and fight the Huns.

Wang Yanzhang was holding a hundred-jin iron spear, restless, and without Wei Qing's order, he could not immediately rush to fight with the Xiongnu.

Li Hu led the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and waited patiently for the order of the lord Xu Fengnian.

In addition to the cavalry in Longxi, there was also Chen Xi, an army master of Liu Bei's forces, who followed Wei Qing out of the battle.

Guan Yu provisionally commanded a team of Youzhou Tuqies, dragging the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to slash hundreds of Huns. As well as the Turkic prince Ashina Sher, who served as Liu Bei's command, commanded a team of elite Turkic light cavalry to fight against the Huns.

Han Shizhong has only 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry, relatively weak in comparison, he was used by Wei Qing as a reserve team.

Han Shizhong realized that because Xin Zhao’s tactics against the Han army worked, the Xiongnu were absolutely active, while the Han army was relatively passive.

"All crossbowmen are divided into five batches, shooting in turn, saving crossbow arrows!"

Pan Mei, the general in charge of the chariot formation, realized the intention of the Huns. If the Huns hit the chariot every time, the Han army would use a large number of crossbow arrows. Within a day or two, the Han army's crossbow arrows would be exhausted.

Pan Mei divides the archers into five groups and shoots them in turns. As long as the Huns are repelled, they don’t pursue the Huns who shoot the most cavalry.

Because of Pan Mei's adjustment, the consumption of the Han army's crossbow arrows has become one-fifth, which can block the continuous harassment of the Xiongnu against the car array.

"The Han army has discovered our intention and stepped up its attack!"

Xin Zhao commanded more Xiongnu cavalry forward and then pounced on the Han army camp, destroying Pan Mei's plan. This also means that more Xiongnu must die to consume more crossbow arrows of the Han army.

More and more Xiongnu cavalry continued to attack the car base of the Han army. Some Xiongnu cavalry had already killed in front of the vehicle and were blocked by spears. Crossbowmen shot and killed the Xiongnu cavalry who tried to destroy the vehicle!

Some of the horses hit the vehicle, causing the vehicle to shake violently, and the Han infantry in the rear tried their best to resist. The condescending Huns cavalry stabs at the Han army with spears, or uses bows and arrows to shoot at the Han infantry hiding in the rear. The two sides take the car base as the center and see the saw. The Huns paid a huge price!

Weiqing still didn't intend to use cavalry, he was still waiting for the right time.

Out of admiration for the general Wei Qing, no cavalry complained, and no one even doubted when to attack. As long as you follow the general and obey orders, you can win.

"Wei Qing of the Han army can really calm down. King Youxian, go help your own king."

The Xiongnu Yizhi leaned to see that Wei Qing's cavalry remained still, and sent the Youxian King to increase the pressure of the Han army, forcing Wei Qing to rely heavily on cavalry.

If it is not necessary, King Youxian is unwilling to fight against the Great Demon King Weiqing, but since Shan Yu has an order, he has to lead a team of cavalry to assist his king in attacking the Han army's car formation.

As King Youxian joined the battlefield, the pressure on the Han army truck array suddenly increased. The Huns cavalry attacked the Han army from all directions, and the Han infantry were constantly shot and killed by the arrows thrown by the Huns, but the Huns paid a heavier price for this. !

A chariot was hit by a war horse into a gap, and several Huns cavalry took the opportunity to enter the chariot formation through the gap. They were greeted by the halberds and crossbow arrows of the Han infantry. Dozens of crossbow arrows shot the Xiongnu cavalry into a hedgehog. The Xiongnu cavalry with the arrow fell from the horseback, and the inertia made them roll several times on the ground before stopping. The Han infantry advanced skillfully to make up the knife.

"Close the gap!"

The Han infantrymen, under the command of Sima, worked together to push the chariot back to its original position, blocking the gap and preventing the Huns from breaking through the chariot formation and completely occupying the Han army camp!

"Use Fire Horse Array!"

Xin Zhao is even more crazier. In order to force Qing to fight decisively, he used the tactics he learned in the Central Plains, blindfolded the horses, lit the hay tied to the horse’s tail, and drove thousands of horses to attack the Han army!

If an ordinary war horse would evade reflexively when it encounters a chariot, then when a blindfolded war horse is burned, it will gallop forward desperately!

Ten thousand horses galloping, instead of the horses of the Huns cavalry rushing into the camp of the Han army, the earth trembles, and the dust is rolling on the Gobi!

The Xiongnu did not hesitate to sacrifice precious war horses to break through the carriages of the Han army!

"Damn it!"

The Han infantry guards hiding behind the tanks couldn't help cursing, and the car formation that was hit by tens of thousands of horses would likely fall apart!

"Connect the tanks and set up a long spear formation!"

"Do not be stingy with crossbowmen!"

Pan Mei presided over the overall situation. When the Huns drove tens of thousands of unowned horses to the front, Pan Mei knew whether he could block the Huns' fiery horses and would decide the outcome of the battle!

"Xin Zhao really has the ability, and I won't be in vain to make him his own king."

Xiongnu Yizhi Xianyu trusts Zhao Xin very much, and Zhao Xin may be able to defeat the Han army!

Han army archers and gods crossbowmen hurriedly used foot crossbows to load crossbow arrows, taking turns to release arrows. Hundreds of war horses were shot and killed during the charge. The huge inertia caused them to fall heavily and be trampled by the horses behind! The formation of tens of thousands of horses was in chaos, and the horses without direction collided with each other!

is not close to the three arrows, and there are still many horses breaking through the blockade of the Han army's crossbows and slamming into the vehicles! The defense line of the military vehicle shook violently and fell to pieces!

A war horse has broken through the chariot and crashed into the long spear phalanx of the Han infantry in the rear!

"Don't go back!"

Pan Mei and Gongsun Ao, who supervised the battle, did their best to protect the large formation. They knew that once the formation of the infantry broke down, then they would be waiting for them by the continuous impact of the Huns cavalry.

The war horse hit a dense phalanx formed by halberds and spears, and the war horses were stabbed to death constantly the spears broke off, and the pawns were trampled by the war horses!

There were a lot of casualties among the front rows of Han infantrymen, but the dense Han army phalanx blocked the impact of the fire horse formation, and the corpses of the war horse blocked the collision of the horse behind. The frightened war horse galloped to the sides and finally bypassed the Han army phalanx .

Pan Mei and Gongsun Ao did not slack in the slightest, because a large number of Xiongnu cavalry followed behind the fire horse formation. The rain of arrows from the Xiongnu had come, and the crossbowmen guarding the back of the chariot were shot and killed, and under the leadership of middle and low-level officers, they fought back.

The Han infantry used large shields and halberds to quickly fill the gaps in the defense line of the vehicle base, and strive to maintain the front line.

"If Xin Zhao is captured alive, he must be killed!"

"The cavalry went to attack the Huns!"

Weiqing saw that Li Guangyi’s soldiers and horses never appeared, the infantry camp was in a critical condition, and dusk was approaching, so he changed the combat goal of annihilating the Huns into repelling the Huns, and ordered the cavalry and rebel cavalry to attack the Huns!

"I can finally go to battle!"

Wang Yanzhang, regardless of whether he is in an advantage or a disadvantage, took up a hundred catties of iron spear, and desperately, led the Longxi cavalry and Li Hu's Northern Zhou Dynasty soldiers to attack!

"It should have been a long time ago!"

Guan Yu dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Knife. Behind him was a group of Youzhou Turks, belonging to the category of heavy cavalry, and launched a charge against the Huns!

The Turkic cavalry of Ashinasheer and the Jingzhou cavalry of Han Shizhong originally planned to attack, but Wei Qing kept them alone: ​​"Waiting for the opportunity."
