Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 846 Xianbei Fire

On the high ground in the forest, several horses were standing on horseback. Although they were blocked by branches and leaves, because they had chosen their position in advance, they could still see the changing sections below.

The leader was Ran Zhan, and beside him there was a man dressed as a Confucian scholar. Gao Bing was talking to Ran Zhan at this time: "Captain, the enemy is about to change their formations, and it seems they are planning to launch an attack." The wave is on the offensive, but..."

"Just what?" Ran Zhan turned to look at this subordinate. He had followed Chen Zhi and intercepted Duan Jin's troops on the way. He even saw with his own eyes that Duan Jin threw himself into Chen Zhi's plan and was killed. Caught on the spot, he knew that the entire situation of this battle was under control. After receiving the military order, he immediately came here non-stop and joined the soldiers and horses already stationed here.

As expected, Duan Pixi encountered most of the troops who came to rescue him. He then blocked the opponent's formation and disrupted the opponent's formation. He already had the upper hand. At this time, Zheng Zheng was in high spirits, so his words also carried a sense of majesty. .

Gao Bing was not affected by this aura, and said: "My subordinates heard about the Xianbei attack and were very good at field battles. They mostly used cavalry to charge and kill, repeatedly coming and going, supplemented by infantry and armor. Now there are refugees who have been recruited by Wang Jun." The army is blocking the front, which limits the cavalry's charge, but I am afraid that these people will jump over the wall in a hurry, and even kill their own people in order to break the situation!"

I said this to remind myself, the coach, that at this critical moment, don't make mistakes due to carelessness, which can be fatal.

Unexpectedly, Ran Zhan waved his hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, these lords have already expected it. These Xianbei people are different from the previous wars. In the late Han Dynasty, the heroes were divided and human lives were worthless. However, spears are easy to make, so the cavalry Most of them were equipped with long spears, and the horses under their crotches were mostly protected. Although the cavalry was also expensive at that time, it was much stronger than the Xianbei people. If there is a horse, the human life is valuable, so they sell iron to get a costume for the cavalry. Some of them carry ring-headed swords. , if the spear cannot be used, it will often lead to tragedy."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "So look at the movements of these people. The commander's flag has not changed. He is sitting in the middle and the cavalry is lined up on the side. This means that he does not intend to use it easily. However, the archers are gathering on both sides and in front. , I am afraid that there will be a round of arrow rain first, tearing apart the defense line, and then charging for a while, but many of my soldiers and horses are hiding in the forest, the cavalry cannot be used, and there will be traps waiting for the infantry, so there is no need to worry, besides, I This is just to reduce the number of his soldiers and force him back. The real killing move is not with me..."

Gao Bing looked a little surprised when he listened to his coach's words. He felt that such an analysis was a little different from the past.

As if he saw Gao Bing's thoughts, Ran Zhan laughed, waved his hands, and said humbly: "I have been taught by my lord several times, but I have never had the opportunity to put it into practice. Now this opportunity can be said to be rare. Yes, you need to know..."

Before the words could even be finished, a sound of "collapsing" strings was heard in the distance, and then a ball of fire rose up from the soldiers and horses of Duan Pixi's tribe and landed in the forest. Although the forest was not heard. The sound sounded, but it was not difficult for Ran Zhan and others to guess what was going on.

Immediately, the young acting captain's face darkened.

"It seems the news is true. Wang Jun has really started to imitate single-shooter cannons!"

Ran Zhan also has information about this part in his hands, and the content is quite simple. That is to say, Wang Jun collected information about the single-shooter cannon through various channels, and recruited some Mohist disciples to imitate it for him, but the yield was very low. , and more importantly, there is no firewood as ammunition, just a stand, and at most it can smash a few medium-sized stones, and the impact will be limited.Many of Chen Zhi's confidants and core generals knew about these things. Some of them even knew that in Chen Zhi's plan, single-shot cannons were used to attract the enemy's attention so that they could spend time imitating them. Not only can it consume the opponent's manpower and energy, but it can also provide cover for some of one's own actions.

"But now it seems that they still got some guns. I don't know whether they got them from King Jiangdu or from a farther place. But just a single cannon, do you think it can affect the situation of the battle?"

With this in mind, he issued an order for the archers and single-shot cannons to begin to change direction and attack Duan Pixi's troops.

At this moment, the refugee army had been completely defeated. They were forced to flee in all directions. The sharp spears of the troops behind them were an obvious threat, forcing these people to give up retreat and choose to flee, even if Even though he knew there were enemy soldiers ambushed in the woods.

In this way, the ambush soldiers in the forest fell into passiveness and confusion for a while, but Daijun Wuding occupied the advantageous location and made preparations in advance. Even the many small tools they carried with them had many functions. , not to mention that most of the soldiers were wearing simple leather armor and paper armor. This kind of protective equipment was quickly produced, the materials required were not expensive, and could be processed locally in Daijun. Under the impact, they always maintained their formation and at the same time squeezed towards where Duan Pixi's troops were.

However, in order to maintain the situation, several single-shooter guns continued to attack the refugee army and maintain pressure.

Since this method of field warfare has almost never appeared in the past, it is impossible to talk about the specific coordination and coordinated operations of the arms. In order not to accidentally injure one's own people, and at the same time to prevent the refugee army from slowing down, it is impossible to reduce the opposition to the refugee army by attacking from both front and rear. fire suppression...

This gave Duan Pixun's troops some room to display. At this time, the two wings of Xianbei's headquarters had already set up rows of shields to block the rain of arrows and suppress the formation. The shields There are also archers shooting back at the back, but in terms of the density of arrow rain, it is far inferior to Daijun Wuding.

"These Daijun rebels have a bit of a background. I don't know how much supplies they have accumulated in the past half a year. They don't care about the cost of shooting an arrow, but they must not have enough manpower to attack this time! These people and It is to intercept Duan Jin, but also to stop my troops and horses, they are already exhausted and will definitely lose!"

Thinking this, he turned his eyes and saw a burning fire pole rising from his military formation, dragging a tail, and falling into the distant forest with a flash of fire.
