Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 207 Battle 2
Gan Ning's movements were very fast. After he returned to the formation, he immediately dismounted and rushed to the high platform. Afterwards, he basically had nothing to do. When fighting in battle, it is better for Gan Ning to step aside. However, Gan Ning is not the kind of person who is willing to do nothing.

The Xiongnu Shanyu had already sent [-] cavalry to take the lead. He knew in his heart that the formation of the Northern Army was like an iron tortoise. Without the cavalry, even if you send someone to attack by force, it will have no effect, but it will affect the time to attack the northern army's car owner head-on.

Although the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Northern Frontier Army had entered a fighting state, the Huns did not take the initiative to provoke them, and the commander had not yet issued an order for them to attack, so they were all just waiting.

Gan Ning came up and said to Gongsun Xu: "Master, Xingba is here to pay the order."

Gongsun Xu turned his head to look at Gan Ning and said with a smile: "You man, why did you come to pay the order? You are clearly here to ask for a fight. What's the matter? Are you still addicted to playing and want to continue fighting?"

Gan Ning nodded excitedly. Today is the first time he has appeared on the battlefield against the grassland nomadic tribes. It is also destined to be his famous battle, so he is very concerned. Besides, it was just a small fight For a moment, he is not enough.

Seeing Gan Ning like this, Gongsun Xu didn't scold Gan Ning, he just said: "Don't be in a hurry, stand up and look at the situation, you have a chance to make a move, but it's not now, the fight has just started, we have to wait .”

Gan Ning nodded, and then stood behind Gongsun Xu and Gao Shun. A few hundred steps ahead, the Huns army was mobilizing, and the rearranged [-] cavalry had already lined up and were slowly speeding up towards him. Come.

Gao Shun watched the other party send 2 people all at once, and then smiled and said, "Master, it seems that the Xiongnu Shan has already become angry. He didn't even have the idea of ​​probing, and he even wanted to deal us a heavy blow all at once. It's really ridiculous, such a reckless man, how can he command these 10,000+ cavalry."

"Reckless man, hehehe." Gongsun Xu laughed and said, "Indeed, he didn't understand that our army dug horse pits and scattered barbed wire within a few hundred steps before the formation. It's a trap, they let the soldiers fill it with their lives, it's really domineering, hahaha."

"Domineering or not, I don't know." Gao Shun sneered, "After a while, it's their turn to vomit blood."

After finishing speaking, the two stopped communicating, and just looked straight ahead, because the former Hun army was about to enter the trap area.

Due to the large area in front of the northern border army, it is impossible for Gongsun Xu to send people to set traps in all areas. Moreover, if the traps are set far away, they will not be able to cause substantial harm to the Huns. Once the Huns find the traps If so, they will definitely find a way to fill in the trap first.

In general, Gongsun Xu's traps gradually became denser from far to near, until seventy steps ahead of the chariot formation, there were large tracts of horse traps and barbed wire. moment of guilt.

More than 1000 people from the former Xiongnu army have entered the trap area, but not many people have been recruited. Then, more and more Hun cavalry entered the trap area. When there are more people, there must be some who have been recruited. Compared with thousands of people, it is not surprising that one or two hundred people suddenly fell off their horses or fell to the ground, because there are many people around them who did not fall to the ground.

Gradually, most of the Huns' former army entered the trap area, and more and more people fell off their horses. The Huns cavalry was about to speed up at this time, but many cavalry found that whenever they tried to speed up, they would be caught in front of them. Comrades were blocked, and for this reason, they had to avoid these people.

In this way, there are only a few thousand people who can really raise the speed of their horses and charge. The more these people run forward, the more they fall to the ground. Fortunately, there are reinforcements in the rear, so they have no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Finally, quite a few cavalrymen had already entered the range. In fact, as early as when these cavalrymen entered the distance of two hundred steps, the ballistas in the Beijiang military vehicle array could shoot, but Gao Shun did not issue this order. It's not the time for the ballista to show its power.

After entering a hundred steps, the archers and crossbowmen of the Northern Xinjiang Army can actually shoot. However, due to the fragmentary arrival of the Hun soldiers, only more than 1000 entered the range. Therefore, if you shoot now, you can actually shoot. It's a waste of arrows.

There is no way, the closer to the northern border army's chariot formation, the more Hun soldiers who fell off their horses. It's not because these Hun soldiers are not good at riding. The key is that the horses just fell down while running On the ground, in such an intensive charge, falling off the horse is almost a death sentence, and many Hun soldiers have become flesh.

Of the 7000 Huns soldiers, there are only [-] remaining on horseback and continuing to charge. There are already many corpses in front of the northern Xinjiang military vehicle formation, but the horns on the Huns' side are still going on, so they have to Keep going, don't stop.

Finally, some lucky soldiers entered the range of [-] paces of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Some lieutenants with excellent archery skills in the army were already firing arrows at these lucky ones. Although not every lieutenant could hit the enemy, but, These lucky ones who ran at the forefront still escaped death in the end.

As time passed, most of the main force of the Xiongnu's former army entered a distance of 150 steps. At this time, Gao Shun ordered: "Blow the horn, order, three-stage shooting, the first batch of ballistas will intercept the enemy first."

The horns of the Northern Xinjiang Army sounded, the military flag waved, and finally one group of crossbow carts lined up in two batches was in full swing. There were more than 1000 crossbow arrows shot out like spears, and there were more than 200 at once. Divided into two, in the middle is the corpse that was crucified on the ground.

The Xiongnu soldiers rushing forward could not feel the situation behind them, but they also knew that the danger had come.Because the crossbowmen of the northern border army had already shown their power, and arrows fell on these Hun soldiers like rain. Many people and horses were hit by several arrows, and some people were directly pierced through their heads and fell off their horses.

More and more Xiongnu soldiers became obstacles to the assault troops in the rear. However, these tenacious Hun soldiers avoided these obstacles by virtue of their superb riding skills and the agility of their horses. However, some of them were still defeated. The arrow was shot, and unfortunately fell to the ground.

Even if luck befell them again and they dodged the arrows, it was strange that when some war horses jumped to avoid obstacles, once they landed, they wailed in pain and fell to the ground.

The more than 1 cavalry in front have enjoyed this kind of treatment. The arrows of the Northern Xinjiang Army have never stopped, as if they don’t need money. They shoot in three stages, with two thousand arrows in each stage. Many Hun soldiers have no time to react. up.

At this time, a sharp-eyed Hun soldier finally shouted: "There is something on the ground, don't let the horse step on it..."

Unfortunately, it is too late to find out now.

After half a stick of incense, the thousands of people behind the Huns finally caught up. However, only 1 of the more than 4000 people who ran ahead could still ride on their horses. There were less than [-] of them, but the wounded basically lost their combat effectiveness and lay on the ground howling.

Although the 2 soldiers of the former Xiongnu army suffered a heavy blow, they still have more than 1 soldiers who can fight, and they are already close to the northern border army's chariot formation. As long as they work harder, I believe that only half of them At this time, they will be able to fight with the forward troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

However, will the Northern Xinjiang Army give them such an opportunity?From the beginning of the war to the present, the loss of the Huns soldiers has reached more than 2, but the loss of the Northern Army is indeed very small, and even if they can get close to the Northern Army, so what?Could it be that the northern border army would stretch out their heads and let them chop it?

Although the reasoning is very simple and the soldiers of the Xiongnu know it well, but the military order has been issued, retreating is death, and the Huns Shanyu's army is in the rear, so why not just retreat now?Many Xiongnu soldiers were terrified, but they were even more afraid to retreat.

In the distance, the Xiongnu Shanyu had long been aware of the unusualness of the Northern Xinjiang army formation. Standing on the high platform, he could naturally see many soldiers falling off their horses for no reason. He believed in his soldiers' riding skills, so the situation There can only be one explanation for this happening, that is, the northern border army has set up traps along the road.

However, even if you know it, what can you do, will the Xiongnu Shanyu retreat because of this?How is it possible, even if there are traps, they should all be detected clearly. Moreover, looking at the situation, the traps arranged by the Northern Xinjiang Army have basically been detected clearly.

The Xiongnu Shanyu knew in his heart that he really suffered a lot from the first wave of attacks. Many soldiers died unjustly on these traps. However, it would definitely be much better if a second wave of attacks was launched.

The Xiongnu Shanyu would send people to clear the traps on the battlefield. More importantly, many of the traps had been covered and filled with the corpses of Hun soldiers and war horses, so they would not pose a threat to the people behind.

Perhaps Xubuguduhou's military ability is not very good, but if he is talking about cruelty, this guy's heart is not ordinary, and those soldiers who died in battle are just numbers in his eyes.

As long as the northern border army can be defeated today, these losses are worthwhile. Besides, people will die in wars, but sometimes they will die more.

Everything in front of him is not so much developing in the direction that Gao Shun expected, but it is also developing in the direction that Xu Buguduhou imagined.

Finally, through the efforts of the Huns soldiers, nearly 3000 people have entered the distance of [-] steps. These brave Huns soldiers have already bent their bows and set arrows on their galloping horses.However, what greeted them was still death, and the arrows they fired could not cause much damage to the Northern Border Army.

The bows and arrows of the Xiongnu soldiers were of poor quality, fifty paces was the limit of the shooting range, and they were not accurate at all. Now, they can only shoot arrows, which can only be called barely.
