Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 212 Perseverance 1
After the trapped camp and the Huben army withdrew, the recruits' gun formations became prominent. This was the first time these recruits faced the battle formation, and then they had to face the impact of thousands of horses from the former army. Many people were very scared in their hearts. After all, the momentum of galloping horses is indeed too shocking.

The lieutenants are constantly cheering up the recruits. At this time, the recruits are very likely to collapse. Not to mention these recruits, even these veterans are shocked in their hearts. However, the veterans know better, what they can do at this time, It is to hold the weapon in your hand tightly and rely on your comrades.

At this time, the ballista was pulled to the back row. There was no way. Without the cover of the tiger army, the ballista appeared unsafe. If the Hun cavalry rushed over, most of these ballista would be reimbursed, even the Huns would It is not a small price to pay, but, in comparison, the cost of ballista is more expensive.

Most of the Huns' infantry retreated to both sides. They wanted to make room for the cavalry behind to charge forward. However, when they retreated, seven of the twenty chariots used to block the cavalry's charge had been dragged away by them. This time, the cover of the Northern Xinjiang Army was even less.

However, as early as when the Huns cavalry entered within a hundred steps, they ushered in the rain of arrows from the Northern Army. Although the Huns cavalry were brave and fearless, how could their bodies withstand the sharp arrows? Immediately after the arrow falls from the horse, the person is trampled into a pulp. This is the effect of the cavalry charging into the formation, and they can only go forward indomitably.

Nearly 2 cavalry rushed into the battle, and the earth was shocked. Many people drove their horses with the belief that they must die. Now, even Gao Shun has to admit that this time, the Huns really paid for it. .

However, Gao Shun understood better that the reason why the Huns were so fearless was because of the bad breath in their chests. As long as they could withstand their first attack, the bloodiness of the Huns would disappear. Next, This is the moment for my own counterattack.

However, if you want to see the blood of the Huns disappear, I am afraid that many infantry will die. Charge, now, the battlefield is full of corpses, which is already a great obstacle to the Huns cavalry.

The further they went, the harder it was for the Hun cavalry to speed up, and there was no room to sprint ahead. Just after the first battle, the Huben Army and the trapped camp deliberately left too many obstacles in front of the car formation, and the Hun cavalry's offensive was slowed down.

However, the cavalrymen who had rushed twenty steps ahead of the chariot formation were no longer attacked by the arrows of the Northern Army at last. At this distance, the crossbowmen of the Northern Army would not shoot rashly. The cavalry who are rushing forward may have to pay attention to the arrows in the sky.

The brave Hun soldiers did not forget to fight back. Many good archers were already bending their bows and shooting arrows on their horses. The arrows from both sides crossed in the air. There was a burst of impact.

The Northern Frontier Army was not so lucky, especially the spearmen in the front row. They didn't have shields. Fortunately, their armor and helmets were relatively thick and their defenses were extremely strong. Therefore, when the opponent's arrows shot When they came, all they could do was to lower their heads and let the arrows hit themselves.

Such dense arrows will always be shot. Many soldiers of the Northern Border Army have already been hit by arrows. Fortunately, the arrows did not penetrate deep into the flesh and did not cause much damage. However, there were also a few people who were shot at vital points , howling on the ground.

The arrows of the Xiongnu cavalry were not sharp enough, and the arrows were not hard enough. There was nothing they could do about it. Their iron smelting technology was relatively backward. Moreover, the iron production of the Xiongnu was low, so it was difficult to forge sophisticated weapons.

Finally, the Huns cavalry in the front row were about to charge into the formation, and the infantry in the spear formation roared out their fear. The spears in their hands were specially made, three feet long, and were specially used to deal with the cavalry charge.

Moreover, the head of this spear is forged from iron, no matter whether it is sharp or hard, there is nothing to say. The body of the spear is also made of iron. The weight of the entire spear can reach a hundred catties. waving.

Moreover, the infantry in the front row only held the back of the spear, and there was an iron frame in front to support the iron spear. In this way, these soldiers saved a lot of energy. It's gone.

This is only the northern army can play such a luxurious gun array, heavy armored iron guns, not to mention the Huns, even the princes in the Central Plains, they would not spend such a big price to build these deadly troops in the front row, just This iron spear can forge several weapons, which is too wasteful.

However, Gongsun Xu has always believed in putting people first. As for armor and weapons, Gongsun Xu has the ability to forge them. Of course, he will spend more on soldiers. This is one of the reasons why the Northern Border Army can fight bravely.

Soon, there were bursts of crashing sounds, the sound of iron guns piercing into the flesh, the sound of soldiers being knocked away by horses, the roars of soldiers, etc., all intertwined on the battlefield. Go to the northern Xinjiang army gun formation, trying to open the gap.

Unfortunately, because the Huns cavalry encountered too many obstacles in the last thirty steps of acceleration, they not only failed to increase the speed of their horses to the fastest speed, but slowed down a bit.

At the moment when they hit the spear formation, many Hun cavalry thought they could break through a gap, but unfortunately, the northern frontier army's spear formation was too tenacious, and most of the cavalry in the front row were sluggish in place after hitting the spear head. This became an obstacle for the cavalry behind.

This time, it was even more difficult for the cavalry behind to attack. Their horses either ran into their own people, or were blocked by the corpses of their comrades who died in front, or they stopped in place. After losing the first three rows of Iron Spearmen, the offensive of the Huns cavalry finally stopped.

There are five rows of Iron Spearmen behind them, but now that the cavalry of the Huns have slowly stopped, it will be difficult for them to be used. They must not be allowed to wield those three-foot-long iron spears.

Under the command of the school lieutenants, they retreated calmly, and the sword-shieldmen and spearmen behind them replaced their positions. The sword-shieldmen and spearmen lined up and moved forward slowly. There will be sabers attacking the legs of war horses, and spears will interfere with Hun cavalry.

Now the situation is getting anxious again. The Huns cavalry lost the impact of their horses, so they can only wield their weapons on their horses. However, apart from their height advantage, they are all disadvantages.

Moreover, after the Huns cavalry were trapped in place, the Northern Xinjiang Army also played with horse ropes, and many nooses were thrown out. Then, many Huns soldiers were trapped and dragged off their horses. There are countless swords and guns.

These Xiongnu soldiers did not have the heavy armor for self-defense like the Huben Army. In addition, the weapons of the Northern Xinjiang Army were sharper. Many Hun soldiers died after being dragged off their horses without being hit a few times.

On the side of the northern border army, the [-]-blade shieldmen and pikemen are already relying on their formation to fight with the Huns cavalry. The Huns cavalry is obviously in a passive position to be beaten. If this continues, the Huns cavalry in the front row will basically be reimbursed here. .

Although the Xiongnu cavalry behind did not fight directly with the Northern Xinjiang Army, the bows and arrows in their hands were not idle. The bows of the grassland warriors were trying to take the lives of the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army. No, the Northern Xinjiang Army made well-made bows The crossbow was their nemesis, and the Hun cavalry behind suffered even more.

Although the Northern Frontier Army restrained the Huns cavalry, they did not continue to advance or drive the enemy away. The infantry could resist the cavalry, but could not drive the cavalry away. Moreover, these cavalry would go by themselves.

Sure enough, seeing that the situation could not be opened up, several commanders on the battlefield immediately told the cavalry to retreat and the infantry to step forward. The Huns hardly practiced any formations, let alone cavalry and infantry alternate positions in a small space.

Although many cavalry wanted to retreat, they always had companions blocking the way, and it was not so easy to leave.The infantry were also unable to form an effective formation to attack.

The chaos of the Xiongnu soldiers was immediately seen by Gao Shun, and the opportunity was not lost. Gao Shun immediately ordered the three thousand sword shields in front to cover and kill, and the three thousand sword shields in the back lined up to defend the position and prepare to replace the comrades in front.

After the order was issued, the three thousand sword shieldmen at the front immediately went forward to cover up the killing. Now, the position of the Huns army became even more chaotic, the back was crowded, and the front was chased by the enemy. Can't hide the fear in my heart.

Moreover, since the Northern Xinjiang Army will not hide and kill too far away, the crossbowmen of the Northern Xinjiang Army are still showing their power, and the Hun soldiers who are unable to change behind are simply here to die. Perhaps an arrow can only make They were injured, but when a dozen or twenty arrows shot at them, they were basically finished.

On the battlefield, the Xiongnu left about [-] soldiers. However, due to the limitation of the field, so many people could not deploy at all. This was a fatal mistake made by the Xiongnu Shanyu. The gap, but he didn't want to, and now it was blocked by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Moreover, the group of soldiers at the forefront is actually the most tired, especially the remaining thousands of infantry troops of the Hun army. They just rested for a while, but this time is not enough for them to recover their strength.

What's more, the Northern Xinjiang Army is fighting a battle of wheels, and each unit performs its duties. The Huben Army took the lead to defeat the arrogance of the Hun soldiers, and the camp contained their momentum. The Iron Spearmen resisted the attack of the opponent's cavalry. , the sword and shield hand began to fight back, and the crossbowman did not stop for a moment.

To put it simply, the losses of the Northern Army will not be too great. Compared with the war of attrition on the Huns' side, the Northern Army is more efficient.It's a pity that even this small problem, few people on the Xiongnu side are aware of it.

Moreover, looking at this posture, the Huns intend to die forever, but will the Northern Border Army let them do so?
