Seeing tens of thousands of Han troops in front of him, Li Wenhou couldn't help but be overjoyed. The best stage for cavalry was above the wilderness.
Li Wenhou's saber pointed to the front: "warriors, let this group of Han people know our power, kill!"
"Line up!"
Although the Han army retreated, it was not a group of civilians after all, and they knew the strategy to deal with cavalry. Therefore, under the command of officers at all levels, the Han Army hastened to line up.
Boom!
However, they did not rush into the Han Army's array. Instead, they suddenly passed through the two wings of the Han Army, as if two huge scythes had crossed the Han Army's array.
The soldiers on both wings of the Han army were suddenly crossed by the flying saber of Hu, and 20000 Hu rode on one charge, which at least killed more than a thousand Han soldiers.
After two huge scythes crossed the flanks of the Han Army, they merged into one unit. Under the command of Li Wenhou, they turned their bodies again and killed the Han army from the other side.
However, this time, Hu Qi was still very cunning. Instead of confronting the Han Army, he continued to divide it into two parts and kept scraping to the two wings of the Han army. It was like a wolf hunting on the grassland. It was not in a hurry to kill the prey, but kept making wounds on the prey, which made the prey lose too much blood and gradually lost strength.
Every time Hu Qi scraped through the Han Army array, hundreds of Han troops fell to the ground. Although the Han Army also used arrows to fight back, the speed of Hu Qi guerrilla was very fast. In addition, it was not clear in the dark that five or six hundred horsemen fell from their horses after several rounds of arrows.
Li Wenhou scraped the Han army back and forth for four rounds like plowing, and then he suddenly found out something: this group of Han army seems to be vulnerable to a blow?
"The two armies are converging and making a frontal attack!"
Li Wenhou decided to give it a try to see if the Han army could withstand the frontal attack of 20000 horsemen.
The two horsemen rushed out of the flanks of the Han Army, gathered in the middle, and regrouped into a group. There were still 19000 left. The Han Army had already paid nearly 3000 casualties.
This time, the Hu cavalry was no longer divided into troops, but gathered into a group. Tens of thousands of horses stormed toward the front of the Han army.
"Go up to the hundred and fifty and shoot
Seeing that Hu Qi finally chose to make a frontal attack, the archers in the Han army finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they opened their bows and arrows one after another, especially the hundreds of pouting crossbows in the array. The Han soldiers lying on the top of the array pressed their feet against the crossbow body, and their arms struggled to pull out the bow.
Whoosh!
Thousands of arrows shot out suddenly, covering and falling like rain, covering thousands of horses in front of them. Even if there were more than a thousand horses falling down, many people would plunge more than ten arrows into their bodies and fall down like hedgehogs.
After a round of arrows, three thousand archers quickly took the arrows from the back quiver, but just as the arrow was put on the crossbow, he suddenly felt a void in his abdomen, and the bow and crossbow could not be opened when it was half pulled.
You should know that archery is actually a very physical exercise, even if a trained Archer shoots more than ten arrows, his arms will be numb. However, Zhou Shen's army was already close to food shortage. On weekdays, the soldiers ate little water. It would be good if they could not die of starvation. How could they still have the strength of World War I?
This time, the arrows shot out were less than half of what they were just now. They fell down softly and only killed more than 200 horsemen.
Sure enough!
Li Wenhou galloped with his horse and couldn't help laughing. The Han army was vulnerable.
After two rounds of arrows, the vanguard had reached the front of the Han army.
In the past, the impregnable and solid shield wall has become extremely weak today. The horsemen in the first row rushed up to urge the horses to hit them. As a result, the large shields in rows were directly hit and flew, and the shield holders holding the shield were even trampled on the ground by the horses' hoofs.
The swordsmen and shields in the first row of the army are usually the strong men and brave men in the army, which means that their food consumption is far greater than that of ordinary soldiers. Therefore, after the army ran out of food, the combat power of these sword and shield hands dropped rapidly. The weight of one man and one horse collided, and they could not hold the shield in their hands.
Fat is the body's reserve of energy. The stronger people are, the harder they are to survive famine, because they consume far more energy than others.
More than 17000 Huqi didn't expect to tear up the Han Army's defense line so easily. In the past, they rarely shook the Han Army in the face. They used to rely on the strategy of attacking the two wings to make the Han Army tired and finally launched a general attack.
However, Han Sui led his army to hold the Kuiyuan gorge and cut off the food supply of the Han army. As a result, the Han Army soldiers could not eat enough every day and had no strength to fight.
As if more than ten thousand Han troops broke down in the middle of the river.
Galloping horses and high flying sabers fly past. Without the shield wall, the power of Han spearmen is far less impeccable than before.
The Hu Qi in the first row rushed up as a meat target to resist the Spear's attack. The following Hu Qi rushed up in a rush, and the Han Army that could not pull out the spear was immediately scattered.The Han Army, which had been in a dense formation before, is now completely empty and has no strength at all. It has more than 10000 Hu riding in the array to kill. However, there are still some people who dare to fight and fight to the death. However, as a number of brave fighters fall to the ground like wheat, the Han Army's momentum is getting smaller and smaller.
The dense formation of Han army was abruptly divided into more than a dozen small formations, each fighting on its own. The incessant horseback and forth was like the sickle of death, reaping one life after another.
After all, Zhou Shen's personal guard camp was his own soldier. Therefore, the logistics camp gave priority to the supply of food and grass. The army camp with enough food and drink was powerful, and naturally it still maintained its combat effectiveness.
The camp lists a circle of shield walls to block the attack of Hu Qi. The spearmen and crossbow men in the array attack the Hu cavalry in batches, which is quite conspicuous in the military array.
However, Li Wenhou also found the flag of Zhou Shen, so he personally led 3000 iron horses to come.
Li Wenhou personally supervised the battle, and all the Hu Qi around him bravely took the lead and killed in front of him. The pressure on the camp, which had been able to do well, suddenly increased.
"General, there are too many horses to kill. Otherwise, we'd better run away?"
When Zhou Shen heard the speech, he gave a sad smile and said: "escape, where to escape? Will you defeat 30000 troops and then run away? "
"If you have green hills, you don't have to worry about firewood. Please leave quickly. We are willing to fight to death!"
Zhou Shen looked up to the sky and sighed.
"I regret not listening to sun Wentai's words!"
