Chapter 3038: The Battle of the Front
Zhang He couldn't imagine where these Hu people got the courage to attack him.
This is somewhat abnormal.
It’s not that Zhang He is arrogant, but that Zhang He is serious.
Wars are all about pursuing victory, and the behavior of the Hu people seems a bit abnormal, but no matter what, they must first defeat the Hu people in front of them.
Facing the Hu soldiers who had just rushed out of the Black Stone Forest and charged forward to Zhang He almost without stopping, Zhang He was not only a little angry.
"So despise someone?"
However, Zhang He quickly suppressed these chaotic emotions and began to calmly analyze the changes on the battlefield.
The Black Stone Forest blocked the view, making Zhang He unable to clearly know how many Hu soldiers were coming. If an ordinary cavalry general might choose to fight with the other party, because this would be more direct, and it would be more in line with the needs of adrenaline. Just two words, stimulating!
When the Hu Renren first rushed out, he was like a horizontal "Chuan" character, divided into three sharp knives,
Zhang He ordered the yellow flying bird flag to sway greatly.
The flying bird flag represents that it is still a geese-shaped formation and has not changed.
Yellow represents bows and arrows, which mainly use long-range attack methods.
A large sway left and right sway means a dispersal tactic.
Almost at the same time as Zhang He ordered, the Han cavalry began to drive the horses and gallop forward, and the distance with the Hu cavalry gradually shortened.
Unlike the Hu people who ran, the more concentrated they became. The twisted and sticked together, the "V" formation of the Han cavalry began to separate, with one stroke on the left and one stroke on the right, and it was like an upside-down eight characters. The closer they got to the Hu people, the more the blank area in the middle of the eight characters was.
The two sides are two hundred and fifty steps apart.
As both sides were racing on horseback at the same time, they quickly narrowed the distance between them.
Almost at the same time, the military academy leaders in the array of both sides were shouting, with different pronunciations and tones, but the meaning was very unified, "Bow and arrow preparation..."
Just like on both sides of a mirror, the cavalry on both sides began to take out arrows and put them on the bow without vain.
Both sides approached nearly one hundred and fifty steps.
『Bow…』
The last fifty steps between the two sides disappeared in a blink of an eye.
『Wind! Strong wind!』
『Shoot the arrow!』
The two sides of the battlefield made the same bowstring sound almost in no order. Then the arrows mixed in the arrows made a harsh scream. The screaming sound drilled into the sky at high speed and into people's ears. Even the roaring horse hooves could not cover them all.
A rapidly moving line-like shadow appeared above the battlefield, intersecting in the air, and then pounced over in the direction of each other.
『Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish
The screaming sound was like a heartless soul longing for flesh and blood, pounced on the body filled with blood.
From the time the two sides were preparing to shoot at 150 steps apart to the first round of shooting at about 120 steps, until the opponent's arrow fell, the distance between the two sides was only about 80 steps. In this short distance of mutual rushing, the shooting accuracy is not the key, the key is the hand speed.
The hand speed of being single for thirty years is obviously faster...
Of course, after a lot of training, you can also increase your hand speed.
Does the Hu people have special hand speed training?
Obviously there is no such thing. Therefore, during the process of shooting between the two sides, the Hu people could only shoot two rounds, and those who were good at shooting arrows could shoot three rounds. Some of them were relatively stupid and had not even had time to shoot the second round, and they ushered in the rain of arrows from the Han people.
On the other hand, most Han cavalry can quickly draw bows three times in a row, because there is one item in their training subjects and assessment content, so they can basically shoot three rounds of arrows, and occasionally some high hand speed can shoot the fourth round...
Therefore, when both sides take over the arrow rains of each other, there are many differences in quantity.
The more important difference is on the armor of both sides.
When the arrows fell, most of the Han cavalry covered with armor were not seriously injured. Even if they were occasionally shot by Hu arrows, they were often in some important parts. On the other side, the sound of arrows clustering into their bodies was endless. Then, the Hu soldiers who fell off the horse made shrill screams, and then quickly disappeared into the sound of horse hooves like thunder. These dead or injured Hu soldiers were ruthlessly trampled by the war horses behind, leaving a bloody mark on the battlefield.
Faced with such a situation, the bald deer did not feel any frustration, because he had expected this before the war started. If the equipment was not good or the training was not good, then he could only make up for it by the number of people, to entangle, and drag the Han army until the Khan and his troops bypassed the Black Stone Forest to complete the full encirclement of the Han army...
Moreover, once the two sides enter a melee distance, if they really can have the spirit of sacrificing their lives, it is still possible to change one, two or three or one. After all, as long as they can knock the Han people off the high-speed horse, the Han soldiers in iron will of course fall more miserably and heavier than most Hu soldiers who are just wearing leather robes and leather armor!
After the bald deer and Hu cavalry were washed by the Han people's arrow rain, they immediately took out their spear under the command of the horn of the cow, preparing to hit the Han people's cavalry head-on, but at this moment, something unexpected happened to the bald deer...
The Han cavalry began to deviate from the short copper whistle!
It is relatively easier to change the formation of infantrymen. After all, it is more convenient for people to control their own legs than others' legs. However, the skills shown by Zhang He made the bald deer feel like the Han people controlling their own war horses, as convenient and flexible as controlling their own legs!
Getting closer slanted, then deviating when you are about to approach, it is like a basketball court dribbling past the ball, and a turn-around person scores the ball...
When the two sides were closest, they were even only more than twenty steps away, and they could clearly see each other's appearance when they were face to face.
Although the bald dew ordered the Hu cavalry to turn with each other after discovering that the Han cavalry was deflected, the Hu cavalry had no way to react. Even though a few Hu cavalry tried to pull the reins to deflect the war horses, the war horses under their crotch, like most Hu cavalry, were negligent in training and did not understand what the owner on the horse's back meant. They were even pulled to their heads tilted, and they were still subconsciously following the horse's butt in front of them...
The gap in training, equipment gap, and war horse cooperation gap ultimately made these more than 20 steps seem to be a distance that can never be crossed.
It seems that at this moment, the Han people's riding skills are three points stronger than the Hu people who have been living on horseback since childhood!
This made Bald Deer and others unimaginable...
While Tufalu and others were still trying to stab the Han cavalry with their spears, the Han people's spears and flying axes had already arrived in front of them!
At a short and medium distance, almost every gun or flying axe would not fall into vain, either stabbed the Hu people or slashed on their war horses. Then, a group of Hu people's soldiers and horses fell to the ground with the wail of the war horses, stirring up a large area of yellow dust. In a blink of an eye, they were trampled by the subsequent war horses, but they also tripped some of the war horses behind them, and the people were stumbled into pieces. Under such circumstances, the Hu people's war horses almost instinctively dispersed and circled around, which made the array that was originally barely made up for the fits suddenly become a mess.
The bald deer shouted loudly, trying to reorganize the queue.
But it was useless. The Hu cavalry, stimulated by the smell of blood, was like a madman who had lost his mind. He subconsciously chased the Han cavalry, regardless of whether the overall front was already in chaos, and whether the Han cavalry was voluntarily retreating or fleeing passively. The Hu cavalry had no idea of cooperation in their minds. Even if they had one, they would cooperate with a few friends they knew. As for the battle formation or the overall strategy...
Feel sorry.
This really doesn't.
The bald deer wielded the battle axe and cut off a Han people's gun, roaring angrily, but the roaring could not help the Hu cavalry around him to avoid the damage of the Han people's guns and flying axes. Many Hu soldiers watched the Han people's guns pierced on their bodies...
The Hu people are not without medium and short-range projection weapons. For example, stone poles, meteor hammers, lassoes, or similarly, there are also guns and flying axes. But the problem is that all these medium and short-range weapons are not standard for soldiers. Some Hu people have, while others have, Hu people do not. Hu people without these equipment can naturally be passively beaten, and even Hu people carrying these equipment may not be able to react in a short time and cause harm to the Han military cavalry.
Seeing the Hu general roaring incompetently, Zhang He just threw an arrow, regardless of whether it was hit or not, and then he started circled with the Hu people with his men.
With Zhang He's order again, the Han cavalry began to disperse again, from two queues to four groups, and then split into a small team of about two hundred people, and began to scatter...
The bald deer was like an angry wild wolf, roaring and roaring. Unfortunately, his claws were too short to reach the Han people, but the Han people could gallop on the grassland like swimming fish.
The Han people were scattered, while the Hu people were in chaos.
When the Hu army and horses were rushing to chase a group of Han cavalry on the left, they would be shot and cut off by the Han cavalry on the right. When the Hu people turned around and began to pursue the array on the right, they would be shot and shot behind the Han cavalry on the left.
Occasionally, some Hu cavalry and Han cavalry contacted each other. At this moment, Zhang He's martial arts were fully displayed. He led a team of elite cavalry, like a fish swimming, specifically attacking the Hu soldiers and horses that entangled Han cavalry. His spears flew up and down, allowing the Hu blood to dye his armor red.
Zhang He rushed in front, while the other elite cavalry followed behind, like a steel knife, cutting through the entangled areas between the two sides, allowing the Han cavalry to resume their speed and start running again.
The Han cavalry on the outside are responsible for close-range chopping and impact, while the soldiers on the inside supplement the casualties on the outside, and at the same time use spears to help resist the fierce impact of the enemy cavalry. The cavalry in the center of the queue are shot at random with long arrows that are rushing to death, killing the dizzy Hu cavalry.
The strengths of the Han cavalry were almost fully demonstrated by Zhang He.
Just talking about arrows, there is quite a difference between Han and Hu people.
Han cavalry usually carry at least one pot of arrows in combat, with one pot of arrows of thirty, the center of gravity of the quiver is facing downward and hung on the side of the war horse.
Most of the Hu people are made of leather arrow pouches, spread in a fan shape, fifteen to twenty, and carried on their backs. It is not that the Hu people are unwilling to carry more arrows, but that if the arrows are carried too many, the center of gravity will easily become unstable.
And the key is that Hu people are poor and they can’t get more if they want.
The Hu people made them hand-made from arrows to arrows. Even if they were used for others, they might not be able to take advantage of them. The Han people can make most of the arms general.
As for other aspects, there are more differences, and most of the differences are that the Han people have more advantages. The only thing that the Han people are at a disadvantage is that the war horses are relatively low in patience. It is not that the quality of the Han people's war horses is worse than that of the Hu people, but because the equipment carried by the Han people is heavier, and the war horses require more physical energy.
But the question is, can the Hu people persevere until the Han people get tired of war horses?
The bald deer is almost crazy now. He led the Hu people to pounce on each side and then, and later it developed into their own battles. Some of them were even like huge herds of bison surrounded by flexible wolves. The number of bisons was more than wolves, but every attempt by the Hu people to attack was blocked. Every time the Han people invaded, the Hu soldiers were cut off. At this time, Ri Lujuan, who was following behind, walked out of the edge of the Black Stone Forest with his people slowly, without any intention of going forward to attack and assisting.
Ri Luyuan pointed to the bald deer in front of him who was almost surrounded by Han people and beaten up. He couldn't help but sneer, "Do you still look very tenacious... I heard that the Bald Tribe had fought with the Han people before, why haven't you learned anything yet? Even a Han man can't handle the front military branch? "
"The Han people are very powerful..." said the guard beside Japanese Lujuan, "But is it appropriate for us to stand and watch like this?"
Ri Lujun laughed, "What's wrong with it? Don't we keep the Han people here now? As for how to keep it, it doesn't matter. What's important is the result... Uh, not good! The Han people seem to be retreating! Hurry up, go forward!"
Although Ri Lujuan did not intend to lead troops to rescue, Zhang He carefully ordered to start fighting and retreat, gathering in the rear, and did not continue to hang the bald deer.
The Hu people who survived the disaster were unable to react for a while in the middle of the battlefield. They just subconsciously strangled the horse, and then looked at the corpses of the people and horses on the battlefield. The brain that was swept by blood began to secrete a feeling of fear...
The bald deer roared at Ri Lujuan angrily, "Damn it, what are you doing? All the dead are my people, my people! Why don't you support me?!"
Ri Lu Jun smiled, "Who said I didn't support you? If I didn't support you, will the Han people retreat? Do you still have life? Why, when you were beaten up by the Han people when you face the Han people, you have the courage to get angry at your own people? Is this a good custom of the Bald Tribe?"
The bald deer was about to go crazy, but Ri Lujuan poured a basin of cold water on the bald deer when it was about to explode. "What are you rubbing against? The Khan ordered us to entangle the Han people! You easily let the Han people go! I drove away the Han people and rescued you! As a result, you actually wanted to attack me here? Have you been bribed by the Han people? Where did you put the order of the Khan? If we didn't sacrifice our lives to save you, you would have been killed by the Han people long ago! This is the attitude towards the life-saving benefactor?!"
The bald deer stared at Ri Lujuan tightly, then nodded, "Okay, very good... Come on! Send an order! Assemble a whole team and chase the Han army!"
A Hu man next to the bald deer subconsciously said: "What? Now? We have just finished fighting, no..."
Before he could finish his words, the bald deer cut off his horse on the spot with an axe.
The bald deer raised her axe, as if she was ordering everyone, and seemed to be staring at the Japanese and Lujuan and said, "Now! Everyone! Immediately pursue the Han army! Whoever dares to fall behind and delay is to violate the order of the Khan! It is a traitor of the Xianbei! I will kill him with my own hands! Kill him!"
Ri Lujuan laughed, not seeming to care about the threat of the bald deer, and also waved his arms, "Send orders! Send orders! Chase the Han army! Chase the Han army!"
Seeing that the bald deer could not catch Ri Lujuan, he stared at Ri Lujuan fiercely, then grinded his teeth and assembled his own remaining troops aside.
Ri Lu Junze squinted his eyes and looked at the bald deer and smiled, "Let's go first to avoid any gossip of the bald tribe... But the speed can slow down, just say that our horses are not good... and they all move when they leave!"
While whistling, the Japanese and Lu Juan started to go in the direction of the Han people's retreat. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Japanese and Lu Juan's troops were pulling for a long time. They had already set off in front, and there were people behind them who were pulling the skeleton on their belly...
When the bald deer saw this scene, he was so angry that he was immediately angry. However, before the bald deer could attack, the people from the Rilu Jun tribe who were behind him also set off one after another, making the bald deer unable to get angry. After all, some of his own people were still picking on the battlefield and replacing damaged weapons.
"Damn it! Let's go!" shouted the bald deer, "Whoever delays will cut off his head!"
Ri Lujun, who had already run a distance, looked back and ordered, "Give it to both sides, don't block the road of baldness... Whoever feels capable and can fight against the Han people, we won't stop it! But we came to entangle the Han army at the order of the Khan, not to let us annihilate the Han army! Do you know what entangle is? Yes, that's right, it's just entangle... Do you understand?!"
"What if the Han people beat us in reverse?" Someone asked Ri Lu Jun.
Ri Lujun smiled and shouted, "What else do you have to think about? Run! It is our great achievement to lead the Han people to the encirclement of the Khan! Don't be like that deer... Bah, what kind of deer, it's like a pig! Don't be as stupid as that pig!"
