Chapter 334

Surrounded by thousands of chariots, Han soldiers and crossbow bearers, armed with weapons such as spear halberd and bow and crossbow, hid behind the chariot and formed a temporary formation to meet the main force of Xiongnu. Wu Gang's chariot is 20 Zhang long and 1 Zhang 4 wide. It has a spear on the outside and a big shield on the inside, playing the role of a simple city wall.

All the soldiers and crossbow bearers of the Han army were dignified, the south wind was howling, the banners were northward, and the sand and stones from the Gobi were flying. At this time, the Han army went deep into the desert for more than a thousand miles, and could not retreat. Once defeated, the whole army would be destroyed!

Wei Qing gathered the cavalry on the flanks of the chariot formation, and they were horns with each other.

The Xiongnu's main attack on the chariot formation had to face the cavalry attack of Wei Qing. Cavalry attacking Wei Qing will also be attacked by flanking chariots.

Wei Qing observed the wind direction through the flags. Timing, location, and people are all factors to win.

The headquarters of Weiqing, including the cavalry of rear general Cao Xiang and left general Gongsun he, had 30000 Han cavalry, 10000 Xiliang cavalry and Northern Zhou government soldiers from Longxi, and 5000 Jingzhou cavalry from Han Shizhong, with a total of 45000 cavalry.

As the commander-in-chief of the Han Empire after Han Xin, Wei Qing has the cavalry aura of the whole army. The cavalry of Wang Yanzhang, Li Hu and Han Shizhong are all given the bonus of Weiqing halo, and their combat ability is greatly improved!

"It is worthy of the double walls of the Great Han Empire. Just the aura of the whole army can affect the victory or defeat of a war!"

Lord Xu Fengnian of Longxi examined the attributes of the cavalry led by Wang Yanzhang and Li Hu, and found that he had gained the bonus of Wei Qing's "Marquis of Changping" of the whole army. The attribute of cavalry increased a lot, and the morale began to recover gradually.

Military generals who can have the aura of the whole army are either legendary heroes with real talents or heroes with high popularity. Wei Qing belongs to the former.

Under Chu Tian's command, there are only two generals with the whole army's aura, namely, Leyi and Hua Mulan.

With the aura of Wei Qing, Xu Fengnian was a little relieved.

Wei Qing in the battle of Mobei is at level 100, and his attributes are at the peak.

However, in the face of the Han Army's chariot defense tactics and Wei Qing's whole army's aura, the Hun Yizhi inclined to Shanyu's cavalry, and was faced with a great enemy.

According to the investigation of Hun scouts and cavalry, the Han Army along the Li Guang route was approaching the main battlefield, leaving Yizhi Xieshan Yu little time.

"Please let me lead the cavalry to test the attack. If Wei Qing cavalry comes to attack, Shan Yu will lead the elite cavalry to rescue him."

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

Under Zhao Xin's command, tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry made an attack on the Han Army's chariot base, while Yizhi Xieyu's cavalry paid close attention to Wei Qing's cavalry.

The Huns did not intend to give the Han Army time to recover their morale and physical strength.

"The Huns are coming!"

The Han soldiers in the inner side of the chariot formation noticed that the dust was rolling and the horses of the Hun cavalry were galloping. They clenched their weapons nervously and were short of breath.

In addition, the Han army of the two routes had already engaged with the main body of Xiongnu, but Wei Qing had not.

Pan Mei, Su Zhang, Gongsun AO and other second and third rate generals commanded infantry and crossbow troops to resist the attack of Hun cavalry.

Zhao Xin, holding a Han ring head sword, personally directed the Xiongnu cavalry to launch an urgent attack.

His opponent was the familiar Han Empire.

Although he knew that the Han Army's chariot base was strong, he could defeat the Han army only by taking advantage of the Han Army's fatigue and launching an attack!

A large number of Xiongnu light cavalry formed a group of waves, which impacted on the chariot base front of the Han army. The arrow rain fell like a downpour, and was closely nailed on the leather and shield of the chariot!

The front row is full of hedgehog and arrow.

Many Han soldiers hid behind their chariots to avoid the arrow rain of Hun cavalry.

"Shoot the arrow!"

The crossbow men of the Han army fired with ten thousand arrows at one time, and the crossbow went through the air and harvested the Hun cavalry without any protection!

The Hun cavalry fell at the same time.

Three thousand God crossbow troops are deployed in the middle. 3000 strong crossbows are fired together. The catapults shoot out at a very high initial speed, easily penetrating the leather armour of the Hun light cavalry in the front row!

This time, Wei Qing adopted the tactics of marching and riding in coordination. Whether the vehicle array can be held is very important.

Knowing that the Han Army's chariot formation was solid, Zhao Xin still attacked it.

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

Zhao Xin knew the Han army too well. His basic tactics to deal with the Han army were to escape from Mobei and wait for work with ease. Secondly, although the Han Army's bows and crossbows were strong, they were not without shortcomings. In addition to the shortage of grain, the Han army was also in short supply of crossbows and arrows, which could not be supplied.

"As long as the Han Army's crossbows are consumed as much as possible, the Han army without crossbows will be forced to fight hand to hand."

Facing the well-equipped Han Army, Zhao Xin chose to use human life and horses to consume the Han Army's crossbows.

Hun Nu light cavalry is still batting down a number of batches of the Han Army, turning the direction of the horse after approaching the vehicle and avoiding the traffic. Each impact attracted the Han Army's bowmen and crossbows.

The crossbows and arrows of the Han army were quickly consumed in 10000 units."Zhao Xin knows us too well. His mutiny is a great loss for us big men."

Wei Qing, commander in chief of the cavalry, is observing the whole battlefield. The tactics of traitor Zhao Xin caused a lot of trouble to Wei Qing.

The Huns and the Han Empire were using each other's generals. The Huns used the surrender generals of the Han Empire to learn about the Han Army's fighting methods and frontier fortress defense, while the Han Empire learned the terrain of the desert and the location of the Xiongnu royal court.

Zhao Xin, a Hun, joined the Han Empire and then returned to Hun. He was familiar with the fighting methods of the Huns and the Han army. His appointment as the commander of Hun Danyu undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the Han Empire's victory.

If not for Zhao Xin's suggestion, Xiongnu Shan Yu would probably choose to fight in desert south, and the supply line of Han army would not be so long.

Now Zhao Xin deliberately consumed the crossbows and arrows of the Han Army, which led to the huge consumption of the crossbows and arrows of the Han army.

Zhao Xin forced Wei Qing to use Han cavalry to fight Hun cavalry. Hun cavalry has a large number, close combat has advantages over Hun cavalry.

In addition, there are many Xiongnu archers who are good at riding and shooting, as well as the most elite guard Shan Yu.

"If we go on like this, we will soon run out of crossbows. Wei Qing is still waiting for the opportunity. "

Lord Xu Fengnian, commander of Longxi nobles, conquered half of Liangzhou and became the king of Xiliang without a crown. Although he was about the same age as Chutian and was a vassal of the youth faction, he had been fighting for five years and had been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, we can see that Wei Qing was waiting for the opportunity.

The time may or may not come.

If we can't wait for the right time, the Han cavalry can only fight with the Hun cavalry.

Wang Yanzhang, holding a hundred jin iron gun, was restless. Without Wei Qing's command, he could not immediately rush up to fight with the Xiongnu.

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

In addition to the cavalry in Longxi, there was also Chen Xi, a military division of Liu Bei's forces, who followed Wei Qing.

Guan Yu's temporary commander-in-chief, a group of sudden riders in Youzhou, dragging a green dragon Yanyue sword, can cut hundreds of Huns. He joined Liu Bei's Turkic Prince asnasher, commanding a team of elite Turkic light cavalry to fight against the Huns.

Han Shizhong has only 5000 cavalry in Jingzhou, which is relatively weak. He is used by Wei Qing as a reserve team.

Han Shizhong realized that because Zhao Xin's tactics against the Han army were effective, the Huns were absolutely active, while the Han army was relatively passive.

"All crossbow men are divided into five groups, shooting in turn, saving crossbows and arrows!"

Pan Mei, the general in charge of the chariot formation, found out the intention of the Xiongnu. If the Huns attacked the chariot base every time, the Han army would use a large number of crossbows and arrows. Within a day or two, the Han Army's crossbows would be exhausted.

Pan Mei divided the bowmen into five groups and shot them in turn. As long as they beat back the Huns, they did not pursue the Hun cavalry who shot the most.

Because of Pan Mei's adjustment, the consumption of crossbows and arrows of the Han Army changed to one fifth, which could stop the Huns' continuous harassment of chariots.

"The Han Army has found out our intention and intensify the attack!"

Zhao Xin ordered more Hun cavalry to rush to the Han Army camp one after another, destroying pan Mei's plan. This also means that more Xiongnu must be killed to consume more crossbows and arrows of the Han army.

More and more Hun cavalry continued to attack the chariot base of the Han army. Some Hun cavalry killed the Hun cavalry in front of the chariot and were blocked by spears. The crossbow men shot the Hun cavalry who tried to destroy the chariot!

Some of the horses collided with the chariot, causing the chariot to shake violently, and the Han soldiers in the rear tried to resist. The Hun cavalry, who were superior, stabbed the Han army with spears, or used bows and arrows to shoot at the Han Army Infantry hiding in the rear. The two sides took the vehicle base as the center and carried out sawing. The Xiongnu cavalry paid a huge price!

Wei Qing still did not intend to use cavalry, he was still waiting for the right time.

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

"Wei Qing of the Han army is really calm. You, King Xian, help yourself. "

Yizhi, the Hun, did not move when he saw Wei Qing's cavalry. He sent the right king to increase the pressure of the Han Army and force the cavalry that Weiqing relied on to fight.

If it was not necessary, King Youxian was not willing to fight against the great demon king Weiqing, but since Shan Yu had orders, he had to lead a team of cavalry to assist ZIWANG in attacking the chariots of the Han army.

As Youxian King joined the battle field, the pressure of the Han Army's chariot array increased suddenly. The Hun cavalry attacked the Han army from all directions, and the Han Army Infantry was killed by the arrows thrown by the Hun cavalry, but the Hun cavalry paid a heavier price for this!

A chariot was hit by horses, and several Hun cavalry took the opportunity to enter the vehicle array. They were welcomed by the long halberds and crossbows of the Han infantry. Dozens of crossbow arrows shoot the Hun cavalry into hedgehogs. The Hun cavalry with the arrow falls off the horse's back. Inertia makes them roll on the ground for several times before stopping. Han infantry skillfully went forward to mend their knives.

"Close the gap!"

Under the command of the army commander, the infantry of the Han Army pushed the chariot back to its original position and blocked the gap to prevent the Hun cavalry from completely occupying the Han Army camp after breaking through the vehicle array!"Use the fire horse array!"

Zhao Xin was even more crazy. In order to force Wei Qing to fight a decisive battle, he used the tactics learned in Central Plains, blindfolded the horses' eyes, ignited the hay tied on the horse's tail, and drove tens of thousands of horses to attack the Han Army's chariots!

If we say that ordinary war horses will avoid the chariot reflexively when they encounter the chariot, then the blindfolded horses will gallop forward regardless of everything!

Ten thousand horses galloping, instead of Hun cavalry, attacked the horses in the Han Army camp, causing the earth to tremble, and the dust on the wall of the Dage was rolling!

Xiongnu sacrificed precious horses to break the chariot base of Han Army!

"Damn it!"

The Han Army Infantry hiding behind the chariot can't help cursing. The array of vehicles attacked by tens of thousands of horses is likely to be scattered!

"Connect the chariots and set up the spear array!"

"Don't be stingy with the crossbow."

Pan Mei presided over the overall situation. When the Huns drove tens of thousands of horses to the front of the battle, pan Mei knew whether they could block the Xiongnu's fire horse array, which would determine the victory or defeat of the battle!

"Zhao Xin really has the ability, and I won't make him the second king."

Yizhi Xieyu, the Hun, trusted Zhao Xin very much. Maybe Zhao Xin could defeat the Han Army!

The crossbow men and the shennu army of the Han Army used pedal crossbows to load crossbows and arrows in turn. Hundreds of horses were shot and killed in the course of charging. Their huge inertia led to their heavy falls and were trampled by the rear horses! The formation of tens of thousands of horses is chaotic, and the horses without direction collide with each other!

There are still many horses breaking through the blockade of the Han Army's bows and crossbows and pounding the chariots! The chariot line of defense is shaking violently and falling in all directions!

Some horses have already broken through the chariot and smashed into the long spear array of Han Army Infantry in the rear!

"Don't go back!"

Pan Mei and Gongsun Ao, who were in charge of the battle, tried their best to protect the formation. They knew that once the formation of the infantry broke up, the Hun cavalry would be waiting for them.

The horses hit the dense square array of halberds and spears, and the horses were stabbed to death, the spears were broken, and the soldiers were trampled by the horses!

There were many casualties in the front rows of Han Army Infantry, but the dense Han Army square array blocked the impact of the fire horse array, and the bodies of the war horses blocked the collision of the rear horses. The frightened horses galloped to both sides and finally bypassed the Han Army square array.

Pan Mei and Gongsun Ao did not slack off, because a large number of Hun cavalry followed the fire horse array. The Hun's arrow rain had already shot, and the crossbow man guarding the rear of the chariot was shot and killed. Under the leadership of middle and low-level officers, he rose to fight back.

Han Army Infantry used big shield and long halberd to quickly fill the gap in the defense line of vehicles, and tried to maintain the front line.

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

"The cavalry goes to attack the Huns!"

When Wei Qing saw that Li Guang's troops and horses did not appear all the time, and the infantry camp was in danger, and it was approaching dusk, Wei Qing changed the battle target of annihilating Xiongnu Shan Yu into repelling the Xiongnu, and ordered his cavalry and the rebel cavalry to attack the Xiongnu!

"Finally we can go to battle!"

Wang Yanzhang, regardless of whether he was in a strong position or not, took up a hundred jin iron gun and led Longxi cavalry and Li Hu's Northern Zhou soldiers to attack!

"It should have been a long time ago."

Guan Yu drags the green dragon Yanyue sword. Behind him is a group of Youzhou sudden riders, belonging to the category of heavy cavalry, charging to the Hun cavalry!

The Turkic cavalry of ashnasher and Jingzhou cavalry of Han Shizhong intended to attack, but Wei Qing kept them alone: "wait for the opportunity."
